I have a UK retail device that is totally stock, no root. On 4.3 battery life was stellar but since updating to 4.4 Android system is draining the battery very quickly especially when I am off WiFi and am using 3G. It drops about 25% in 4 hours.
Yesterday I tried the nuclear option and performed a factory reset and SD wipe. When setting up again I did not restore my Google settings and started completely from scratch and only installed the bare essentials. I have Google Now enabled and my Location settings are at "Battery saving". I am using the stock launcher, etc. no mods. None of the Motorola services are enabled other than Assist for the silent period,
Alas the reset hasn't helped and Android system is again munching through my battery. My next step is to flash 4.3 and give up on 4.4 for now but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any other ideas.
Any advice is welcome. I'm wondering if this is a 3G radio issue of some kind (I am on the Three UK network).
I am with kk on en.EU firmware and battery is amazing like on 4.3. I am always in wifi and sometimes in 3g, no problem.
3g data generally drain more battery then wifi.
I'm using a little more.... maybe about 10% extra a day since updating.
Ive tried Wi-Fi on Wi-Fi off 2g and 3g and nothing makes much difference. I get about 3 days and 2 nights whatever combination I use.

Also on Three UK network, andrpid system has been causing battery drain since updated to kitkat.
Hi,
I have the same experience. The battery life on 4.3 was pretty good. I expected some improvements in 4.4 however the battery draining is almost twice as fast as it was.
Google Play Services is the most power hungry app. Its version is 4.1.32. As I understood the battery usage of this app has been improved recently. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...player-new-google-drive-api-preview-and-more/
What I installed is only a custom clock widget, otherwise everything is the stock.

Twice? Come on.. Classic placebo effect!
Android system just over took screen when it comes on battery usage on my phone... This is after I turned off Google Now and changed location to Battery saving mode.

In 4.3 I managed to achive more than 4 days battery life once, Now it is on 50% after one day when I almost did not use the phone.
25% Google Play services, 14% Android system...
See this thread for reference:

I factory reset a second time and have only installed the absolute bare essentials. Today the issue has gone. My suspicion is location services but I will reinstall more apps slowly until I prove this.

Please do share your result, I really don't want to root my phone and also installed too many apps to do a factory re-set without knowing it will definitely work.

I installed more apps last night and battery life is still stellar. My current suspicion is a combination of the BBC Weather app with Location mode set to High accuracy.

I disabled Google Now only and the battery draining has been normalized. I will try to enable it again.
I have exactly the same issue - since going to 4.4.2. Battery usage was great in 4.3 - but since going to 4.4 it was awful (android system using 30% of the battery overnight).
I did a factory reset - which kept me at 4.4 but uninstalled all my apps etc (and put google play services back to the original version). I then turned off location services altogether (I had tried battery saver, but it made no difference). Since then I have been having little or no issues - android system is hardly using thing overnight. Google play services has updated back to the latest version.
So it is defo to do with location services and/or some app using it to death - haven't risked turning it back on yet - but will do - might go for gps only first, then battery saver (which did no good last time). Google now is currently off - but I may turn it back on as part of my testing
Disabled location, now Android System only uses 13% of the battery instead of 35%. Still this is way too high for whatever it is used for, will keep investigating.
Hey guys,
I am having battery drain issue on my Galaxy S6 since some time and I started to try to fix it. My SGS6 is not rooted or with any customization.
Well the first thing I did is completely factory reset the phone, including going to recover and cleaning the cache and data partition. After that, I just started the system and let it update itself. It seems fixed (going to deep sleep) for a part of the time, but right after it started to avoid deep sleeping at all (I just installed whatsapp).
Of course, I uninstalled whatsapp to check but is not related. After looking around I disabled the Google Play Services and it seems to be fixed now, but the issue is, there is nothing installed on the phone besides bloatware and the system itself. I disabled most of google and samsung apps besides sms, gallery, etc and the wakelock still exists if I enable google play services...
I am avoiding rooting or changing the system as I want to keep my knox flag clean to use android pay and other nfc payments, but without root I dont know how to search for wakelocks without the help of BBS or similar apps.

Yes, it is (But I am always around a wifi zone). I am searching and I think it is something related to S Finder also. I am testing it.

Download Greenify from Oasis Feng in play store and hibernate most of your apps(will prevent background activity).
Buy Package Disabler Pro for about $5 in Play Store and disable the bloatwares(not all of course). No root required!

No! It has a method for non-root phones and requires administrative access which is absolutely safe as the developer is very professional! It force closes apps and keeps them in force closed state and eats no battery!
Package Disabler Pro lets u disable the useless apps on the S6 without root!
Btw my S6 is not rooted as well and these work fine for me!

I went to google store after reading here about these apps, it is said on the store "need rooted device" so there were my comments..
Hello guys,
Thanks for your input. After a long section of try and errors, trying to find each app and wakelock which was preventing my system to go into deep sleep, I gave up and rooted it (KNOX tripped, bye bye payment with nfc :crying.
Unfortunately, even after installing the custom roms utilized here I still suffering from something preventing deep sleep even without installing anything besides BBS (Wipe, clean install, BBS, wait 30~ minutes and check BBS). I really don't know which kind of configuration is preventing my phone from going to deep sleep.
I hope I can fix it at least, because if not, I just rooted my phone without any worth to me. I miss when I got this phone and it had about 5h SOT everyday even with wifi, music, and anything.
Hi man
Hope this is any help.
Had battery drain aswell and still I'm searching but for me I come closer to the drainer.
I was a little frustrated but I came to the conclusion that cell standbye and android o s where the biggest consumers.
This morning I totally loaded the battery till it was full.
Around 7 I turned on flight mode and turned off WiFi and mobile network.
Now it's 12.37 and the battery is half drained so still 50% and 5.29 ours of battery life left. Note that my s6 is just laying in de room. So no usage by anyone.
I am not satticefied but I know now that constantly searching or automatically searching for network was one of the problems and due cell standby who is connected to that options. Well, automatic network searching can be stopt.
A littke bit closer tot the answers but tonight i will do the same. Full battery, Flight mode on, mobile network of andere wifi on tot zee what happend without usage from me.
No about android o s. This was left as the biggest consumer so I have to go and search that and see if i can find answers there.
Hope it's useful for you and any help would be priciated

But I had my note 3 beside de s6 this afternoon. Same settings but now my s6 is empty and the note 3 hardly used any battery life.
Both rooted, kernel... WiFi on, flight mode on, mobile network off.
Thing that stands out is dat Samsung o s on the s6 has 42% and on the note 3 Samsung o s 6%

It works best with rooted phone, but there is a working mode for unrooted phones as well which I'm using on my s6 as it's not rooted! It's located in experimental features, you'll see it says working mode Non-rooted!
Download it! It's free and less than 5mb! If u don't like it, uninstall it!
My carrier is a brazilian company called TIM, which is a subsidiary of Telecom Italia Mobile. I don't have problem with 4g/lte/call signal.

That is probably why. I know I read that for some reason using this devices with other Sims causes abnormal battery drain, with the only fix going back to a T-Mobile sim

Morning guys.
Last evening I wiped cache, fully loaded the battery. WiFi on, airplan mode on. Rest off. Downloaded better batterystats and left it.
This morning the phone still has battery life left! That's new!
Now 9.27 our on battery. 76% empty
We'll wenn I look at battery usage on the phone it is Samsung o s on top with 43%.
In better battery stats. Awake has 96%.
So that means that the phone never go's to sleep?
Someone got some solution for that?
After reading something about it I've uninstalled ANT services and ANT plug-in, definitely a better behavior.
With wifi , bluetooth, mobile data off, non automatic display and set to one third for luminosity (enough for an indoor use), google and S voice on demand and some other goodies deactivated, a charge lasts 2 and a bit days on this S6 edge + (I used it heavily yesterday with sms and one long call for about 3h),, so this is much better thant the first days when it lasted hardly one day on a charge.
I'll try these apps to round the culprit and still has to uinstall all the non needed apps and services like google crap, samsung crap, facebook and such.I've also installed DS Eco Battery from playstore that clearly helped my phone to stay in deep sleep.
Hi Charlene
Can you post your s6 battery usage here?
I have the same phone and for comparison it would be useful to see what the difference is in usage?
As mentioned earlier the android o s toke up far to much % if you ask me.
Edit: Today I ran wake lock detector. WiFi off, mobile network off, no acculoader plugged.
Just looked at it and under kernel I found bcm4773_wake_lock keeping s6 awake. Anybody familiar with it? Thanks!

Using my new Mi4c for a few days and I am getting terrible battery drain.
Android and Android System are accounting for 19% and 18% in my list as well as the Gallery app showing 10%.
With not much use my phone goes down from 100% to 53% in only 6 hours. And when I say not much use I mean sitting on my work desk with the screen off from 9 to 2pm with my picking it up maybe three times for a few seconds each to send or read a text.
Just came from a Sony Z3 Compact which would still be in the 80% range with the same use.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems as you, but not as severe. I ended up fixing it by flashing the weekly International ROM from Xiaomi . eu, which is a ROM that cuts out all the Chinese apps and all the bloat. Now I'm back down to 0.5% battery/hour idle drain. Another way would be to factory reset and try install your apps one at a time while monitoring your usage. I highly recommend BetterBatteryStats to help track exactly what processes were active in your phone, and any excessive wakelocks that might be eating into your battery. Lemme know how it goes, and I'll try help out if I have the time.
You can root your phone and freeze all the apps that useless to you. This is what I did and battery usage works great.

I am downloading the Official Stable ROM fro Mi as I type this and have also already downloaded the International Unofficial ROM from Xiaomi .eu.
I am going to try the Official one first then re-load in all my G Apps. I am a bit worried about installing the International ROM as I would need to install TWRP and root the phone etc..
I worry I may brick it in the process. I have given my previous phone away and do not have a backup.
If you know of anywhere with good step by step instructions on installing the International ROM could you point me to them?
Thanks again.

You can install the developer rom from en.miui.com , it already has root. It's in the security app, under permissions. And with an app like flashify from play store you can install twrp recovery. A twrp image is available on en.miui.com.

The people who get 6h sot stay on wifi mostly, barely use 3g or lte, some only on 2g. And they probably dont use many apps, have syncs disabled, no mi account, no localisation, undeclocked, undervolted, etc.

No, only no localisation, no chinese apps, no mi account.
Maybe the people with battery drain should look what causes it, e.g. double tap to wake or such things. Through the last years, there also where problems with "scanning always available" (Network Location Provider Wakelock) in WiFi settings, Emergency Broadcasts, Google Sync and Location Services which caused battery drain. Those things would be the first i would check.

Already checked all settings. Its just because of the different use, thats why people get such SoT. Also if using wifi or not and the cell coverage.
and whether they are using Dual Sim or not

Hey all
I have a Sprint Galaxy S 6 that I just updated with an update that claimed to be to improve "battery drain".
It is losing 13% in a half hour without using the phone.
I have no apps running.
I go to settings and it seems that Google Play services is always the one that uses most of the battery.
I never got great battery life but this update seemed to make it worse.
Am I missing something big???
Any advise would be appreciated.

Probably your phone won't go into deepsleep. This is caused by wakelocks and alarms. You can fix this by rooting your phone and install powernap or factory resetting your phone & start all over again.

I would rather not root my phone... I did it with my last three phones and was more trouble than it was worth for me. The phone has all of the features that I like and I don't have a need to flash ROMS.
Any other suggestions?

In that case factory reset your phone, this will delete all of your apps and data so also the wakelocks and alarms. From then your phone will go into deepsleep and you won't lose so much juice when you don't use the phone
Hi, I'm also having battery life issues. I've factory formatted from recovery menu, but I still get battery issues. I charge my phone about 3 times a day and I don't have any significant drain according to the battery usage settings.

I basically surf the net and use WhatsApp. By early afternoon, I'm down to 60% battery. I unplug my charger at 6am everyday.

I'm curious if you have cell satndby being used constantly, as that is my problem.

I have a strange problem that so far only seems to be plaguing my new S8+. I use both Gsam Pro and Wakelock Detector to identify problematic apps that needs some TLC. As I do not root I would normally just provide appropriate permissions to the two apps via ADB and all is well until I have to factory erase or reinstall for some reason. With the S8+ however the granted permissions will randomly reset themselves after a reboot. Not every reboot will do this, some only. It is totally random. When the permissions are gone I actually have to reapply them before the two apps can be used properly again. Any idea what is resetting the permissions?
Thoughts?

hi ,
Just to add support, to your question .
I have the S8+ for _+ 4 days .
My S8+ is also not rooted ,stock ROM .
I have also Gsam ,Wakelock Dectector and BetterBattery Stats on phone .Also used ADB
to configure Gsam and BetterBattery Stats .( forgot to configure Wakelock .....thanks )
I at least reboot my device once a day (a habit !! )
Anyway BetterBattery Stats has once resetted itself over period of time
Gsam i have had not issues yet .
Will see if Wakelock Dectector stick .
I have had problems with gsam, yesterday i was able to reboot ok and gsam remained ok. this morning my AQDD update arrived and after installing that, gsam has reverted to showing no breakdown again. However I also had trouble with gsam when i first gave it permissions via ADB with it refusing to work.....until I had fully charged it, then suddenly it started showing me the breakdown again. At the time of installing the update this morning I only had 40% battery left so I am wondering if it has something to do with the battery percentage and reboots causing it (nougat itself still knows it has had 4h screen on time). I did not re-do the permissions in between, i just charged it to full and suddenly gsam started showing the full app breakdown instead of the one item, so I dont think it is actually losing permissions, it seems to be something else causing it to firstly reset the timers and secondly stop showing the breakdown properly.
The other issue is that even yesterday and the day before, when it was correctly showing the full cpu app breakdown, every time i reboot, it reset my screen on time and other stats! The Nougat stats still showed the correct screen on time. I tried both sets of stats "since last unplugged" and "since last full charge" and it had reset both. It WAS still showing the breakdown (unlike today), it had just reset all the timers like it does every time i reboot.
Hmm, maybe we should reach out to the developers to let them know. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
@ewokuk - can you tell me your version of DQA? I accidentally dismissed the prompt to update it and now I am no longer able to get the update it seems. Ideally if you can extract the APK and attach it here I would appreciate it.

I did email the gsam dev a few days ago when I was first trying to make it work, but didnt get a reply. If we all email him maybe they will fix it
How do I see what version it is? Package disabler doesnt show version numbers of the packages, I haven't seen any update for DQA though so it sould still be the default one.
Updated DQA is 1.1.13-10
It's called base.apk for some odd reason per APK Info.

Thank you sir. Samsung needs to work on their delivery of critical updates. What a joke. I accidentally dismissed the prompt and there was no way to get it back or to get the update again. Thank you for posting this.

Hello...
Did you get answer from Gsam developer??... I'm having this issue as well. The Gsam it's working well, but suddenly the stats had been reset and not showing the full cpu app breakdown.
Also there is a small gap on the android graphic, so I guess is something related to a kind of power subsystem restart or something like that, but BetterBatteryStats are working well....

No response. I gave up. I don't think s/he cares.

I guess Gsam is abandoned. There is not new version from 2013.
Thanks we've got BetterBatteryStats....
Now I've purchased AccuBattery, but it is not the same. We cannot see the aps on background...

Yes, you're probably correct. No problem ?
I have the same problem but Gsam is dead and no longer being supported. It resets on my 6p, Pixel XL and it did the same on my old s8Plus. It literally just reset on my Pixel XL with 64% battery left. Sometimes I can bring the stats back by force closing it and clearing the cache but that doesn't always work. It didn't use to do this. Oh well. I guess we'll have to live with it because it's not going to get fixed. It sucks because I love Gsam. I also had Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats reset. I think it's something to do with Android.

Yes I guess is something related to Nougat. Wakelock detector also fails, but BBS it is not failing at all, but this is because BBS is still under development, and it is up to date, use it.

I'm not on Nougat. I'm on Oreo on my 6p and Pixel XL. Gsam started acting weird on Nougat and continues to on Oreo. It's weird because I've never had Gsam reset on my Axon 7 on Nougat but it did on my 6p when it was on Nougat. It just started doing it out of nowhere. When Gsam would reset BBS would too. BBS had an update awhile back so maybe that corrected it. I usually have both of those apps installed. Gsam reset on my Pixel XL yesterday but BBS didn't. I guess I'll keep using Gsam and BBS. Gsam provides me with good information until it resets. Lol
