So I had great battery life not too long ago but now I can barely make it a whole day. My awake times are very high and I can't pinpoint the cause. I attached some wakelock detector info. Right now I have about an hour and a half of screen on and 16% battery left.

I am having same issue with phone getting really warm. No new app installs other than things like wakelock detector. I can't figure out what is causing it and better battery stats isn't showing me anything.
Add me to the list. Never needed my third battery until yesterday. No out of the ordinary modifications.

Try freezing maps and other not needed Gapps, it solved my long wake times. I also use Tasker to hibernate all my apps then put the phone in airplane mode when the screen turns off then waken them up and turn wifi back on when the screen comes on, battery life through the roof

So what's a normal awake time?
I've had battery problems in the past with other phones but usually wake lock detector can find the offending app. Nothing is jumping out at me this time. Google seems to be using a lot but I would like to keep using those apps unaffected.

Same here I took my phone off the charger at 10pm by 1am I was down to 37% with 17 min of sot, something isn't right, I'll try to grab ss tonight. And yes the phone gets really hot
I just had my G3 replaced after my new one suddenly died on me.
I notice a couple of subtle software changes by AT&T.
Yesterday my battery was on 60%. Before I left the office.
When I got home (45 minutes) I took the phone out of the pouch and it was really hot and the battery wad won to 19%.
First time this has happened to me. Will have to monitor.
I got fed up with it all. I did a factory reset. I'm going slowly re add apps back. I certainly noticed a performance bump after the factory reset. Night and day. I didn't even realize how much it slowed until i reset it.

wake lock detector isn't really a good app for telling you exactly what the issue is. betterbatterystats is your best bet to find out exactly what the issue is - it will tell you precisely what the issue is holding your phone awake.
Sometimes, shutting down and pulling the battery out for a second is all it takes to fix the problem. rebooting doesn't always solve whatever it is...
My phone "freezes" now and again, it always has something to do with me texting, but screen off and on will fix it..and it does get warm when frozen per say...but it will normally fix itself with me interacting with it. But if your guys are not holding it when it happens I can see it draining out your battery stuck at higher clock for no reason...now wonder if I should pull logs....
When I say interact I mean I have to push the power button. Knock on won't work. Similar to the dreaded sleep of death but seems to pull out of it.

Like another user mentioned pulling battery or at least resetting the phone periodically helps with battery and helps keep things running smooth. Using Better Battery Stats and looking at Alarms and Partial Wakelocks is a good way to determine if there is a rogue app killing your battery. A couple good Xposed Modules, if you're not using them or aware of them, are Greenify to help hibernate apps that like to constantly wake the phone and NLB Unbounce module is a good one for if you want to keep your location on and keep Google Now functionality. You can set how often you want the wakelocks and alarms to trigger and with the donate you can do the same with any wakelock/alarm. Just be cautious if using the pro version as some alarms or wakelocks if disabled or tinkered with incorrectly could make the phone unstable. Just a few tips/ideas. I have the VS985 and have had pretty good battery life since getting everything set up and debloated. Usually about 17-18 hours on battery (I don't sleep much) and 4-5 hours screen on time. I like the screen on the brighter side as well, which usually I adjust with the status bar so I don't have an exact percentage for the brightness. For some other tips and apps or even maybe something you haven't thought about check out this thread: G3 Battery Tweaks :good:
Factory reset.

I noticed my phone was getting warm in the pocket too, with bad battery life. I finally figured out the phone was waking as if it thought it was getting the 'double tap' to wake. I believe you can disable the double tap in the secret menu (3845#*850#)

I went to sleep around 11:30 last night. Before I went to bed I turned off mobile completely and had 94%. When I woke up at 7:45 I had 64%. Take a look at these screenshots and tell me how I can improve my battery. As you can see in the second screenshot I didn't use my phone at all but look at the drastic decrease.

That's odd for sure. Did you check the system's battery stats? Just seems like the app you're using isn't telling the whole story.
BTW, what app is that?

First thing I'd target is system panel itself...an app that polls your phone for system statistics...yeah...
Was this a one time thing, or does it happen every night? Did you check the system's battery info, as suggested above? Are you running a custom kernel/ROM? Did you see CPU spikes in System Panel during that period? Was wifi on?
I frankly have no idea what your problem could be, but a little more info might help.

system panel is superb, it uses barely any cpu at all.
anyway to the OP, i do the same test every night, i leave my phone idle, then check system panel in the morning. i drop 6% in 7 hours, but yours definitely dropped a lot. obviously no app or process is showing up, so i would just reboot and try another test tonight. perhaps some glitch happened, radio was wacky, i dont know. but that's not normal.
however we do know that the stock ROM has a high current draw at idle, around 34mA, when other phones get 4mA during idle. so who knows maybe it's normal.
i wish i had some screen shots of my system panel figures to show you.
I've noticed abnormal battery usage with low phone signal as well. Think the phones (Inc and Thunderbolt) ramp up voltage trying to amplify a low signal.
But i notice that you have a graph for 8 hours but the usage report is showing you only 2 mins. Dont think it's giving you an accurate usage report while charging. Depending on what you having it charging on it's possible to drain more charge than your receiving. Especially with USB computer charging.

Linux is actually keeping the statistics, the app just scans /proc and other directories at intervals to log it over time. Intervals are 15 minutes-ish on battery, our target spec is <1 min of CPU consumption per day to perform this service. (Am the author)
Unfortunately SystemPanel also isn't finding the specific culprit in this case, i.e., it's only showing that app CPU usage isn't the problem. Best guess in such scenarios is either some app that is running in the background preventing the phone from going into its best low power state or is using a bunch of power running one of the radios. I'd next try doing the same thing in airplane mode.
Will be adding more data logging for additional such as network bandwidth in future versions.

What the usage report is saying is that in those 8 hours his System Processes only used the CPU for about 2 minutes. That would lead me to believe that there is something running in the back ground that System Monitor is not picking up. I would suggest doing what the Dev above me said and see if that might help figure out what process that is.

i believe system panel uses linux commands such as "top" which picks up everything that hits the CPU. so the offending battery drainer is something else, such as the radio for example going wacky, etc. i admit the OP's usage seems strange as i do the same test every night with system panel, but when something weird does happen, the ofending app clearly shows up in system panel.
the next step is taking logs with the current widget and seeing how high idle current draw is. i get around 5mA to 10mA idle current draw.
Hi,
Since about December (a while after updating to Lollipop), I have a weird battery drain issue, once in a while.
The battery drains very quickly – about 15% per hour. Phone gets warm (obviously) and sluggish. Killing apps doesn't help. Battery stats don't show a culprit.
A weirder symptom: if the notification bar shows I have new Gmail messages and I open Gmail (from an icon in the quick launch area, not through the notification), the Gmail icon doesn't disappear from the notification bar (as it normally does).
Also, my clock widget (HD Widgets) stops updating (I think this doesn't always happen).
A reboot helps briefly, but usually within a few hours, it starts draining again.
Then, after anywhere between ½ and 2 days, the problem disappears, only to come back 2-3 weeks later.
Any thoughts? I'm on stock, not rooted, not even unlocked. (So I can't use BetterBatteryStats or tools like that without a factory reset, and I don't have the time to deal with that right now.)
Here are my battery stats from last night:

I took my phone off the charger at about 2:40, it was draining at the time, it looks like. Rebooted at about 3:00, briefly did some reading, then went to sleep.
At about 6:00, when my phone was quietly lying on my nightstand, the drain starts again. At 7:30 I woke up, rebooted, and made those screenshots.
The first screenshot shows no obvious “offenders”. The second screenshot tells us that something is keeping the phone awake, but it's not just being awake that's the problem, because the battery drains faster, with screen off, than in a normal situation during light use (reading) with the screen on.
Any thought? Thanks in advance!

Awake and Screen on should pretty closely match each other. An app is keeping your phone awake.
See the battery thread as said before, and wakelock detectors pc version doesn't require root. Look into it, cause something held your phone awake solid and your battery plummeted. ?
You have a Nexus though, Root it! ?

Hello all, I have a huge problem with my Z3. I mean, battery life issues.
As you can see on the 2 pics, my device is running out of battery too quickly, and it heat up even for simple tasks!

That's not normal.. it sucks. Will switch to LG G4 as soon as available.
how much of that was screen time using the battery?
About 3 or 4 hours max.. but I use it time to time. Wi-Fi and sometimes mobile data on cellular network.
Don't understand why the battery drain is so fast.
Stamina mode doesn't change a thing. Almost always on manual low brightness and I have to use my power bank (external battery) when I'm away.

I have the exact same issues, the phone was going very strong for the first 6 months (7-8 hrs SoT) and then it all went bad (3-4 hrs Max). I've tried MANY things and the issue seems to be **mainly** with Android OS and System (especially with mobile networks "staying active").
What kind of worked for me is:
Turn off "double tap to wake screen"
Delete any 3rd party alarm apps (clearly helped)
Turn off "Google Location History" in Google settings
Check for stuck sync
After doing all of this i got about +2hrs screen on time, but it all went bad again (even with them still off)... So I'm interested in your feedback and others' answers!
I'll try that. I assume Timely is a 3r party alarm apps?
Check out this pic.. battery discharging during the night and lost more than 20% by using it one hour (simple web browsing and stuff). I'm starting to hate this phone.
By the way, congrats for your 1st post

Yes I think we have the exact same problem, my phone discharges about 2-3% on airplane mode through the night. And as you said, my normal use means that I lose 10% to every 30 minutes of screen (under normal conditions).
Yes I mean Timely! it drained the battery on my phone and only showed up as a problem on Gsam and wakelock detector! i wouldn't have known otherwise, its disguised as Android OS or System!
Its very disappointing given that it was working very well before!
Stuck with the same problem.. and they boast about Xperia Z3 amazing battery life.. that device sucks. Switching to LG G4 as soon as available. Sony disappointed me, they failed me.
I use Timely to wake up because this app is well designed and I love the smart rise feature.
That said, Android says OS and screen process drains battery the most.

I think you should first try what I suggested for a day or two and see the results, should be an improvement, though I don't know how much...
I used timely for exactly the same thing, but as all google products these days, it drains the battery I'm really dissapointed with Google more than Sony, I have the same problems on all my lollipop devices (2 nexuses). Nothing Sony can do about it...
With flastool you can go back to KitKat if Lollipop doesn't perform good for you.
I have good experience with the .77 Version and still have a backup of it in twrp.
You have a very weak signal (the red color) which is draining battery.
Android OS is the Kernel.
Use better battery stats which is free here from xda.
Also check app permissions of your installed apps.
And a calibration of the battery may help.
With full auto brightness and mixed 3G/wifi browsing and listening to music via Bluetooth or headset I have 6h Display on in 2 or 3days on Lollipop.
But prerooted / debloated / tweaked Rom .690 with good signal.
I know the signal is bad and is a cause I'm my case. I was living in Germany for a few months and got around 7h over 2 days, it halved when I moved back to jordan. However it's still getting worse, noticeably since I turned off and uninstalled many things (it got better for 2 days *6hr and then went back to bad *3-4hr). But still the point is why buy a smartphone if you have to turn off everything just to get it through the day. The problem is that you get the feeling that no matter what you do with the phone it still drains (which looks like a system or app issue because it does even when I'm only using Wi-Fi or even 3/4g on full signal)...
Well there is no magic button to improve the battery life.
Yes there is, Airplane Mode.
Hi my wife bought a Note 5 two days ago (9/30). She did all setup, app restoring, etc that evening and fully charged the phone overnight. However her phone is experiencing idle drain that I need some help fixing.
Some other info: battery saver modes are off, wifi is always on (but only connected at home), bluetooth is always off.
10/1: Arrived at work with 100% battery
A little over 4 hours later, with light use, the phone was at 51% with less that 45 mins SOT

With facebook as the biggest offender I suggested she turn off the setting of pre-loading pics and videos.
When she got home she charged phone to 100%. I also changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE. Here's how the battery looked with light use before going to bed:
10/2 - Left the phone unplugged over night to see what would happen, it lost 12% sitting on the nightstand for 8 hours.
Will report back later this afternoon to see how the day is progressing.
First step for me in reducing battery drain was to disable the Facebook app. It is a battery hog and was always at the top of my list. Instead, use a browser and create a shortcut to facebook.com or install Metal from the Play Store which is a web wrapper for Facebook and so much lighter. Sometimes I still get strange battery drain from Android system (up to 35% sometimes!). But this usually gets resolved just by opening up recent apps and closing all.
Hmm, I don't have problems with Facebook app on my droid turbo

Regardless, Facebook doesn't seem to be showing up at the top afte the setting change. I'm interested to see what she has this afternoon. Will have some updates screen shots later on. I also asked her to charge ~3pm then drive home with nav on to see what the battery looks like under heavy usage.
I need to dig into Android System to see what's going on there, any ideas? Will GSAM pro give more insight here?

I lied, facebook setting is "play videos automatically", I have to assume turning this off will save data/battery. Also Instagram has "use less data" setting. I thought I read that this stops pre-loading of videos/images, but I might have imagined that?
Anyway, for facebook setting hit the menu button next to the notifications icon then scroll to "App Settings" near the bottom of the screen.
After most of a work day and light use she's down to 58%. Looks like facebook is back up there, odd because it's not a problem on my phone.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot why Android System is using so much battery?

You guys have to also take in consideration the Lollipop total connection time bug. Apps open up a connection and it won't close it when it's done... For example my first charge cycle I signed into instagram and it used 40% of my battery without me ever open again. The total connection time of most apps ends up being hours when it shouldn't be. That won't be fixed untill Marshmallow comes to the Note 5. Google is aware and has fixed it. It's on multiple Lollipop devices.

If the device is rooted then you can try Greenify to hibernate the apps which are consuming the battery life.Try other simple solutions like disabling the Wifi and other tools when not using them.Sometimes Play services may cause the issue so try to fix them.There are some guides which may help you http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-samsung-galaxy-note-5/

Hope these guides will help you
The problem is ...because of the device used to be root although we flash original stock firmware it is still drain when device idle ...you can take a look in Android OS and see stay awake period ...one way is flash custom room that said deep sleep fix . Hope this comment could deal your problem
While using Twitter or any app, my battery goes down at least 4-5%. I can't get decent battery on this.

It is pretty new. I didn't think that would effect anything. I guess I will let it have some cycles then.
I have some ideas that might be able to get the problem solved. I would first try turning off your phone for 5-10 minutes since it might be overheating. Then I would uninstall any new apps that you might have installed since you can remember the battery drain starting. There is a small chance you might be experiencing some battery drain issues from a third party app that caused a virus. Its also a good idea to get a security app like avg since its free. Other then that you might also want to check that your phone is not completely full on storage, and also consider turning off the facebook app since it can cause some serious battery drain issues as well. I think thats pretty much it if you want to get rid of facebook on your galaxy s7 here is how to do it. and it will really help with your battery life
I had the same kind of battery drain on my Sprint variant. A factory reset quickly fixed that issue for me.

So I used it up for a day and let it die completely. Charged it right back up and now its pretty bad today. These are screenshots from when I made it die.
I did disable Facebook. The Android System and Screen are using the most up right now. It went down about 7% for being almost idle. I used Twitter once.
Possible Solution to the DRAIN!
Ok, so I've had the same issues as you. My findings are as per Gsam Battery Monitor:
1. High Android OS and Android System usage~ 20-30%
2. High Phone Radio ~ 40% at times
3. Overnight drain of at least 4% (stanbby drain)
4. Screen usage 'while off' higher than 'while on'
This was frustrating and is as mentioned by other users to be a bug from updates and related to charging.
SOLUTION:
Today Gsam reports my Android OS and Android System usage and Phone Radio at 10% and below.
All i did was...
1. Let it drain to about 90% after charge.
2. Restart the phone.
3. Then plug in the micro USB to USB connector (the one that comes with the phone) with a flash drive attached and play a song/short video.
4. Unplug and enjoy great battery life.
This worked for me so it's worth a try. Will test a full charge soon and hopefully it doesn't require the steps above every time to stop the drain.
btw I'm NOT rooted, using LTE.........wifi,bluetooth, AOD and locations all off.
