Hi, I'm new to forums and would like to seek some help. My phone drains battery for over 40% overnight(without me using it)
I have apps like Greenify, GSM and WLD to detect and help me get rid of this issue. But I can't seem to fix the kernel wakelocks.
Attatched here is pictures gathered throughout my battery drain issue.
I hope you guys can help me. If there are other ways to come up with a solution please do reply here. Thank you.
Hi,
This battery thread is in the T-Mobile S4 section, but should still apply. Read post one carefully and use this thread to ask for help in if you still need it,

Good luck!

My wife has the GSIII from Verizon and is experiencing massive battery drain issues. She doesn't really use any TouchWiz features and apparently the recent update from Verizon breaks LTE and creates a lot of problems. I told her to hold off on the update for now. I'm thinking, at this point, that rooting and installing a stock-based ROM might be the best route. There's just so much bloat running in the background.
I'm familiar with rooting, as I have a rooted Nexus 4 with a custom kernel. Just looking for some suggestions on a clean simple ROM. She doesn't need anything fancy or feature loaded. She actually seems to like the stock 4.2.2 on my N4. Any ROMs/kernels that have proven themselves for you guys? I'm not at all familiar with the modding community for the GSIII but eager to learn...!
If you want to root and stay as stock as possible, go with CleanRom! There is nothing better!!
Also, have you looked at your wife's battery stats to see what's causing the drain? Post some shots of the battery graph so we can help you out.

Not sure how detailed any non-root apps can be. I looked at the battery stats and the Android OS is a huge offender. Also, there has even been drain when she puts the phone into airplane mode overnight. I turned off automatic location updating in Maps and have tried some little tricks to extend battery life, but it's been non-effective. I will look into CleanRom....! (I'll also see about posting screenshots when I can...)
Download Gsam battery monitor and look into the wakelocks!

I don't think BetterBatteryStats requires root but I may be wrong.

I flashed the latest CM12 Nightly on my Oneplus One, but I noticed a quite annoying problem: battery stats are very weird, they show some impossible numbers, like screen on top of the list with a 6% drain, or they show nothing at all. Any solutions?

Hi
What is the best rom from a battery perspective right now and how much will it increase battery life? Right now I get 3-4 hours on 4g and 5-7 hours on Wifi on stock, rooted with greenify. Will a lite rom help even more on battery? Also, which would you say is the best right now and why?
Thanks in advance
Questions like these(best rom bla bla) are not tolerated every rom here is a result of hardwork and efforts from devs which are all unique in their own ways, would suggest you to try and use what you like.

Why aren't questions like this "tolerated"?

You won't notice a difference in battery life from Stock to custom, except maybe a decrease due to wake bugs maybe.
Your battery life is pretty good.
Rule of thumb, ROM's might allude to having better battery life than others, but they almost certainly do not.

Well no idea either. I asked what the best rom was from a BATTERY perspective. Some are for speed, others battery and some features.
I fully understand they're all hard work.

Uhmm... The community? Well as far as I see now there is no such issue's in the Galaxy S6 forums, I come from the Galaxy S2 community where any similar questions(literally anything that started with BEST ROM...) are flamed by other members and occasionally outright locked or removed by the moderator's.
I myself never had an issue with those kind off question though.

The question is pretty much not answerable for a number of reasons.
People get different results due to how they use their phones and what software the load and run on the same ROM, and to answer your question someone would have had tried all the available roms for enough time to form an opinion.
Lastly, this is a general S6 forum so people here are using all kinds of different variants of the S6 making the comparison even less likey.
I have a stock rooted ROM and am quite pleased with the battery usage on it, YMMV.

Based on what? Reaching 8+ hours SOT? If no, then the answer for now is XtreStoLite.
In theory, the lightest ROM with the least amount of bloatware may extend your battery life. But in reality, phone usage is the main culprit of battery life. I have tried different ROMs with my old S3 trying to extend its battery life. But in the end my efforts are in vain as I put too much work for a very little gain of less than 30 mins. This also applies to the S6. Modifying usage (i.e. turning wifi/bluetooth when not in use, working with dimmer screen, etc...), buying extra battery or powerbanks and chargers for charging on the go and anywhere all did the trick of preventing phone usage interruption due to a drained battery.
I'm using CM12.1 r18 nightly and facing sleep mode battery drain upto 10% or more in around 8hrs
I've done Google play services wake up, keep awake thing
Used amplify and greenify
But same battery drain can anybody help me with this problem
Hi,
If you have an issue with a rom... You should ask in the rom thread, or in your devices Q&A section. Xda Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support... And not for polls. :silly:
Thread closed! :good:
so i have tried Go Battery Saver from google play and it had a function 'suspended window' that shows the battery percentage the whole time it runs. the battery percentage can be placed anywhere either on the left or right side..
the problem is my phone already have batteryguru (qualcomm snapdragon's battery saver included in the stock rom) and gobattery just eats up extra cpu and ram space. is there a lightweight app or system mod that can do that?
PS the battery percentage doesnt need to be draggable, anywhere on the edge of the screen is fine.
