It is not a huge problem that persists constantly but in my case, it happens almost once a week.
Case scenario is pretty simple:
If my phone is left alone for a longer period of time (over night), one of google services that i sync is keeping phone awake almost 90% of time (syncing without end). I can not put finger on a specific service because it happened with Keep, Google Photos, etc..
Anyone with a same issue?

Is the sync problem with the phone or with Tmo? I am receiving voice mails from three days ago and emails from as far back as a week. It's getting a touch irritating. Do I warranty the handset or just live with it?
I have a similar issue but it's only with the emails. They hella lag. Throughout the day I do a manual sync just to ensure I have the latest. I think it maybe with the phone given that on my previous phone, it felt like I stayed current with emails.
Thanks. This is only my second cell carrier. I have only ever been with Sprint. So, I am kinda in the dark as to what to expect.
I will call T-Mo after summer finals and haggle with them about it.
I as well have the same issue from time to time. Even though my phone is set to sync my gmail account, it randomly decides to take a break sometimes and then I have to manually invoke the refresh from gmail.
Hi Everyone, I search everywhere and couldnt find an answer for this. So here goes.
Calendar
I was syncing and unsyncing with my samsung to google calendars, then the next day I checked, I realized all my events disappeared.
I did not erase anything yet all my events were gone.
I did notice that something was occurring during the period that I lost my data.
I saw that my default Samsung browser on my smart phone went on a refresh loop on google home page. This was an issue on googles end and was resolved eventually.
This was one of google's problems. There would be an issue with google recognizing me logging on the google home page and gmail. This lasted for a week. I wonder if that caused my data to disappear?
There are a few links below describing what happened. I'm wondering if this is an issue with Google, samsung+google, or syncing in general.
if I can recover my lost events that would be great!
It seems like a lot of them has to do with smartphones syncing, which is what I did. Even if there isn’t a solution or a recovery for this, it would be great to at least get an understanding as to why this happened (so i can avoid it in the future). I am currently storing everything local to my phone and havne’t experienced any loss of information. It’s quite disconcerting that if I did use google calendars, at any moment, all my events can go missing.

DATA
My data usage resets either randomly (before the cycles) or there is a delay on applying cycles? My data usage basically self erased leaving the charts to show nothing and the apps still ahve the data used.
1)
I realized that the data was still there until I started to sync with my TiBu to dropbox/google drive. Then my data went to 0 on the charts.
I was still able to see the data used per app, but nothing shows on the charts.
Although it may not be accurate I use this feature a lot. I would just like to know what makes it reset on its own?
My cycle is on the 2nd of each month and I lost it on the 15th.
2)
Another issue is the vertical lines that shows you data used on each time period. I would like it to default to my cycle (so i dont have to readjust everytime) Does anyone know how to do this?
Thinking back.......I think I did have my cycle set as the 15th, but that was changed a long time ago.
Could it be possible that the change only takes effect after the cycle is complete?
For example
Jan 1, 2000. I set my cycle to the 10th of every month.
Jan 2, 2000 I change it to 25th of every month.
I think it will still reset on the 10th?
Thanks everyone!!!

A few weeks ago, my battery life suddenly dropped in half. Previously, my phone could make it through the work day, but suddenly, it was dead in just a few hours after each time I charged it. And I could feel it getting almost painfully hot in my pocket.
I searched all over the web (including here) but found no one who had solved the same problem.
I tried some battery monitor apps (e.g., 'Watchdog'), but got no alarms. I tried 'BetterBatteryStats,' but trying to figure out the difference between 'Kernal Wakelocks' and 'Partial Wakelocks' seemed more like a science project than a troubleshooting step. I need this phone for work after all.
I did notice K-9 Mail show up a few times on the stock Android 'Setting-Battery' screen, but at first I thought nothing of it, since I'd been using K-9 for months with no problems, and it didn't show the kind of excessive drain that I was seeing.
But just on a hunch, I turned synchronization off in the K-9 Mail app. Viola! That was it. No more hot phone; no more dead battery. More searches specific to K-9 yielded only tips on how to make and read logs.
So I enabled logging in K-9 and turned synchronization back on. I am not allowed to post links here (because we are all presumed guilty until proven innocent), but you can search for instructions on K-9 Mail Logging (I found them on 'github.'). After an hour or so (I probably didn't need to wait this long.), I viewed the log in the 'aLogCat' Andriod app. Then, the problem became obvious. Several times per second, K-9 was trying to sync my 'Drafts' folder in my IMAP e-mail account and failing with an error - something about UIDs not matching (whatever those are). This activity was probably keeping the processor awake and running at full speed at all times. Since I don't care about synchronizing my 'Drafts' folder, I made it a '2nd class' folder to stop it from synchronizing.
Problem solved (or at least masked)!
I am not sure why the problem occurred to begin with (maybe the ICS update, a K-9 update, a change on the server side, or just another unexplained random Android behavior), nor its root cause, but it irritates the heck out of me that the Android OS has so little ability to manage (or even to indicate) a rogue app.
I'm hesitant to spend more time troubleshooting it further, but I thought I'd share this experience in case someone else comes across it.

I don't have this issue, but got to appreciate your effort for writing down this elaborate account of how you resolved it. :good:
Now I am having the same issue with my new Samsung Galaxy S4. I should notify the K-9 developers ...
Don't worry for km in s4...had same issue....it's battery problem...I had to buy a new battery as Samsung acknowledged made in China battery that initially came were defective..now they are providing made in Malaysia battery...The whole net is flooded with this problem of battery getting swollen and unexpected shutdowns...just check the battery for swelling to be on the safe side.

I started my Galaxy S6 920I battery issues a long time ago and couldn't find any help without rooting or tripping knox, so here's how I went back to a normal state. I want to share my experience with you guys and maybe help someone who's desperate like me.
UPDATE: 5.1.1 India OTA came 2 days ago and my problem is solved now. No more deep sleep isues.
device: 920I on Stock 5.1.1 India (G920IDVU2COF8), Brazil on VIVO network.
problem: "Android OS" process show up eating almost 50% of my battery, even on idle. I couldn't even get through the day. If I went to sleep and just left my phone alone with wifi, data, gps off and all apps closed, I would wake up with a dead phone.
conditions: I didn't want to void Knox since I think I can still use my warranty for something, even though Samsung offers a pretty lame service here in Brazil.
background: I've read basically everything regarding this subject and nothing seemed to work for me. Wiping cache, factory resetting, nothing.
method:
STEP 1: ERASING IT ALL
My phone came with stock 5.0.2 and I updated to 5.1.1 (Trinidad and Tobago) via Odin hoping it would solve my problems. It didn't, at all.
I decided to do a full wipe and flash 5.1.1 India just to see if the problem was relying on the ROM itself
When my phone started, I added my google account, normal setup, and then started disabling the useless Samsung features like motion gestures and Wifi always scanning
I DID NOT download any app from the play store, I decided to get them back gradually in order to try to find the problem.
I started disabling every app I though it was safe to to so. Here's the list: ANTT Radio Service, ANT + Plugins Service, Brefing, Dictionary, Drive, Dropbox, Facebook, Galaxy Apps, Galaxy Apps Widget, Google Play Books, Google Play Games, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Newsstand, Google +, Hancom Office Viewer, Instagram, Live Weather, Memo, Messages, Messenger, OneDrive, OneNote, Peel Smart Remote, S Beam, S Health, S Planner, S Voice, Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Push Service, Skype, Hangouts
I Kept basically Whatsapp, Hangouts, Play Music, Gmail and updated them through Play Store
Downloaded Google Keyboard since I hate the samsung one
Then I went to sleep with 15% battery. Woke up with 15% battery. Good job.
STEP 2: PUTTING INTO TEST
I woke up and charged the phone until 100%. Got our of home, wifi and data off.
I commuted for 60 minutes while listening to cached Play Music songs. Made some calls. Turned data on, used some whatsapp. Battery still on 94% at the end. Seemed ok.
When I arrived at work, I decided to enable instagram and Hangouts back and check on it again. My battery was on 92%.
1 hour later, my battery was 80% and "Android OS" was at the top of draining list again. Nightmare.
Uninstalled instagram. 1 hour later I had a drop of 3% without touching the phone. Android OS still on the top.
Uninstalled Hangouts and enabled default samsung Messages app. Answered some whatsapp chats and left the phone sleeping, didn't touch it. 1 hour later, battery dropped by 2% with Android OS on top.
Restarted and wiped cache. Things went back to normal.
NEXT STEPS
It seems like there's some serious bug with the apps, but somehow there's s System bug that needs to be sweeped with a cache wiping. That's the continuous process I need to be doing on regular basis.
I wonder, would it be that simple? A simple app making continuous requests to Android System and putting it on top of the draining list, hogging all of my battery on idle for nothing?
Anyone had the same problem?
Most likely a defective battery. Return your S6 back to Samsung telling them of your extensive tests as supporting evidence and request for a warranty repair/replacement.
Hey XDA,
I have noticed excessive battery drain on my device (currently a OP3T, but had this same behavior on previous devices as well), no wakelocks though.
SystemPanel 2 shows this as "unaccounted" battery usage, which usually accounts for 50% of what's using the battery. It checks out, my phone dies after 2-2.5hours of SOT, which doubled is what is expectable from a 3T.
I've tried literally everything there is to try, nothing actually solved the issue. I made a nandroid, created a secondary/throwaway Google account, logged in, and boom, everything's working as intended.
As a sanity check, I set up an old Samsung device, first with my main Google account, then with the throwaway one, and noticed the same behavior.
Now I'm pretty sure this is like a one in a million case, but do you guys have any ideas what I should try and do with my main account that could help me solve the issue?
Much appreciated,
Lada
