I've never had a problem with my captivate since I got it back in August. I could easily go two days on a single charge with no problem. Now all of a sudden my battery wont last even 8 hours. I know there are tons of battery threads but my problem just started like last week. I tried to isolate the problem by removing some apps that have been recently updated and still no luck. I even went through the phone looking for running apps and services but nothing out of the usual. I'm totally lost because like I said I have never had a problem with my phone...this is totally out of the blue. Is anyone else having problems?
is ur "use wireless networks checked"? coz last tym I forgot to unchek it and I feel the draining of my batt. it solved mines..,or maybe you are using a custom roms? cos mine is the stock, never tried any rom yet and my batt last for 24hrs still.

I'm 100% stock. I literally haven't done anything to the phone at all since I got it...
The "use wireless networks" box is unchecked. I only use that when I have GPS on because for some reason it tends to work a little better.
So I returned my z3 today, for another.
I was having issues with the device running very hot, rebooting about ever 3 minutes, and draining the battery within about 2 hours.
This was happening even after a reset, disabling most apps, etc. Etc. I tried it all.
So I have a new one here in my hands, and.... Same issue.
Anyone else having this problem, find a fix?
You must be having bad luck with this phone. I do too, but it's the camera issue. What are you running? Is it doing that on idle? I want to try to replicate that issue to see if mine is doing that.
Nothing honestly. It was going it even after I had disabled nearly ever app possible. I let this one sit for awhile, update everything, etc. Seems fine now. But the last one was fine for about week so we shall see. I couldn't find an issue, even the battery stats looked perfectly fine. Which is odd because I unplugged the now returned one at 9am and by 10am this morning it was down to 18% battery left.
Have you use PC companion repair your phone? It must be software issues.

Once you got issue with Xperia phone try these solutions
1. Factory Reset
2. Repair firmware By PC companion
Note: If there is software bug in firmware the issue won't solve with repair firmware >> you should search some sites like XDA to see another reports
>> After Repair firmware by PC Companion (if problem remains) you can be sure that there is a problem with Hardware side. so take it to Service Center

I have Lenovo a806 (Golden warrior). I have been using it since 1.5 years but now it has started having problem of restarting itself repeatedly. I have been using updated avira av for any malicious attack but it didn't showm I uninstalled recently downloaded and installed apps to make sure if it was the cause or not. But no luck there. I even factory reset my phone and yet the problem is still there. But I found a suspicious thing in my phone that dolphin browser(which is not my phone's in built app when I purchased it) can't be uninstalled and it says it is inbuilt app. Another problem is that few days earlier my du battery saver showed high battery temperature asap I opened up a game like coc. My battery gets heated up little faster than before.
So, I concluded myself there maybe two problems. Either it has virus or my battery has got a problem or even maybe other problems. I hope you guys could help me if those are the really messy problems or it is something else. and if it is battery's problem, how can I confirm it?
P.S.: My phone is not rooted and my phone auto switched off asap I removed from charging an hour ago. Now it auto switch off sometimes even when charging.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Unfortunally i couldn't find the device forum for your mentioned one so the better way to ask is to do it here >>> Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Hi, i am using [ROM][N][NOTE 8 UX][BUILD 3.0][GENISYS XPERIENCE][J700F/H/M] build 3.0
today i woke up to see my phone freezing at the home screen, it restarted and when the home screen appeared i could do like 2 moves then it freezed and restarted, kept doing it alot, i could stop it by pulling the battery off. i tried to use the phone without a battery (charger only) and the same happened.
One time i could use the phone for like 2 minutes without restarting or freezing then it happened, thought it was battery problem cuz usually when the battery is 40% the phone restarts and the battery becomes empty in like 2 minutes (happened months ago, i flashed the rom since 7 months ago).
when i open twrp the phone works fine there so i thought it was software problem, i wiped everything then installed a clean version of the same rom and the problem disappeared, i also think the battery doesn't turn off at 40% now but it's like a new one, can anyone please tell me what the hell happened !? i want to know what was my enemy which wasted hours of my precious time!!! and i want to avoid that in the future, notic that if i restore backup i did before wiping everything, restoring the system alone works, if i restore the data the same problem happens so it's data problem.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
please help me, i did a full wipe when the problem happened to me 2 weeks ago and installed the same rom and everything went good, and now after 2 weeks the same damn problem happened!! i can't do this anymore it takes too much time pls help
My S3 Frontier was a problem child when I first got it a year ago. It would never stay connected to my phone, and all I did was tinker with it and reset it over and over again for months. I was ready to Ebay it when the Tizen 3 update was pushed. Since that time, this watch has worked great, up until now. About a month ago I got new iPhone. I had a LG V10 Android phone and was a little concerned that the iPhone would mess up the watch. The Samsung app on IOS was a bit limited, but it still worked fine. About 2 days ago, the watch all of a sudden started eating up the battery. It went from 100% to 31% in about 3 hours Tuesday morn. I charged it over night, and yesterday it was fine. Today it was OK up until an hour or so ago. It went from 71% to 17% in just over an hour. I was not even using the watch. I have wifi on auto, the display always off, brightness on 6, heart rate monitor off, and no 3rd party apps installed. All I use the watch for is to keep me alerted when I get incoming texts, weather alerts, and it tells me to get up off my arse sometimes and move! I do not use it to make or answer calls, GPS and location is off. Up until now, when I would put the watch on the charger when I went to bed, the battery would be at 70-75%. I have about 20 or so watch faces all from the Samsung store and have uninstalled Facer and Watchmaker. I do not see how the watch faces could be causing this when the screen is off, but I do not know all the technical details on how this thing operates. The Samsung app on my phone does not show anything out of the ordinary running on the watch. Does anybody have any ideas before I rest this thing, or worse yet, chuck it and just go back to using my $10.00 Walmart watches!!? :laugh:
Won't hurt to try another factory reset before you retire it.
Same thing for mine was great then all the sudden drains battery like crazy.
I just did ANOTHER reset from the watch, and also removed and reinstalled the Gear app on my phone. Afterwards, did not install anything on the watch. It is still draining way too fast. This morn at 6 it was at 100%, after not using it at all, it is at 82. It is still setup as in my original post. The only thing I can think of that may have caused this was a small update that got pushed on it a few weeks go. Either way, I am tired of fighting it! I may have to contact Samsung, but I think it is out of warranty. If this thing gets the Tizen 4 update, I will give it another shot.
I just thought of something. Is there a way to reinstall Tizen 3.0.0.2 again manually without hacking the watch or sending it back to Samsung? Maybe resetting it is not enough and it needs to to be wiped , then have the OS reinstalled.
I just started experiencing the rapid drain as well? Noticed it yesterday. Put the watch on at 7am and by 11am had the warning pop up that battery was at 15%
If you Google this, there are lot of folks having the same problem with this watch. I was just on a Samsung forum where several people were reporting this issue after the 3.0.0.2 update. The thing is, my watch ran great after the 3.0.02 update! Better than it did on version 2. My problem started after no updates. My best guess is another patch or the Tizen 4 update (assuming this watch will get it) may hopefully fix this. I am found no resolution so far.
I would say try a couple things. Turn Wi-Fi off completely. Mine gets hammered when I have it on in any way, and you COULD be seeing it poll like crazy in Auto. After testing that, I'd also try turning the BT off too (Just to test)
Mine started doing this two days ago and I made no changes (I always have Wifi off, heart rate once every ten minutes, AOD off, , no GPS, non-LTE watch). I usually get up to three days and now if I fully charge it by 9pm is't dead in less than 11 hours.
I have this problem as well, started yesterday. Looking through the apps, seems like s health is the one to blame! Before once charge was getting the phone still at 77% by the end of the day....
Same here, since a couple of days ago, Samsung Health draining the battery. Can´t be a coincidence.
I guess it is possible the battery is going bad, but rechargeable batteries normally do not start losing capacity at one year of age, and it is normally a gradual process. I tried turning off wifi, and that did not help. Between 6 this morn and now (8.00 am) it went from 100 to 88% and all it did was show a few text messages from my wife. To add to my misery, the Samsung app just updated on my iPhone and now the program crashes whenever I open it and to go the Gear apps and faces. I can try reinstalling it, but it will reset the watch AGAIN, and I will have to start all over. If I was Bruce Banner I would be turning into The Hulk right now!!
son of a b!tch... i was hoping that it was a fixable thing, seems like its a widespread issue. Im having the exact same problem. started 2 days ago. Factory reset the watch and didnt even install any apps on it, just configured the watchface to diable the AOD and bezel wake. Its been fine for about 10 months and boom... utter failure. guess ill start a claim with samsung
Yes mine has worked great for over a year then all of a sudden 2 days ago it started going from 100% to dead in 3 hours or less.
sooooooo, i submitted my claim info on samsungs site and no more than 30 min following, my gear started turning its watchface on while on the charger very randomly. Did it about 6 times. Stupid coincidence? poltergeist? or are they digging into the device?

Same with my device. It started 2 days ago after a factory reset, goes from 100% to dead within the first 3-4 hours of the day.
