Hey fellows s3 owners,
I have a huge battery drain problem when I'm at school. My battery plummets insanely. The signal isn't too good, but my battery stats show that the signal isnt the main issue. Its consistently either android os or android system draining it, I don't know what it is doing and have been through multiple s3s and no fix. All my friends have the same issue. I'm on stock unrooted and locked.The only thing to do is airplane mode it all day everyday and I really need signal to get through the day for obvious reasons. I need a fix to this issue, and it is a huge problem. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED GREATLY AND I WILL CONSIDER DONATIONS!:good:
Attached are screenshots from BBS and the stock battery stats in the settings
Thank you!

Don't see screen shots on tapatalk but if u r saying airplane mode fixes the battery drain then u already solved ur problem Cuz it sounds like the os is killing the battery trying to get a good signal so only way to fix is a) try flashing a different modem to get good signal at school or b) switch to a carrier that's gets service there

Search for modems for or device and flash a different one each day til u find one that gives u better service there should be a modems thread in ur device sub forum with instructions and u can ask there if anyone in or area using which to get best service but generally modems r a trail and error to see which works bestv

Do you keep it in 4g? If so use a app like phone info and throw it into 3g only and see how it does (cdma auto prl)
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?

Have you already tried flashing a new, clean ROM on it?

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.

Thanks for the help.
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.

Same problem here...
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

I get 5-6 hours SoT in a single day or 4-4.5 in 48 hrs. 4G, I use reddit internet and whatsapp, sync on wi-fi and no undervolting and stuff. smiui rom seems to be pretty good.

I am testing smiui right now. But I hate the notification bug, notifications never arrive in real time, even if I have apps locked in memory, manage apps disabled(or enabled and set apps to custom and work in background) and apps set in autostart. Its annoying,
thinking to just use mokee maybe

Yeah CM and Mokee are better for battery life. MIUI to date is not very well optimized altough I think it's very convenient that's why I keep using it.

My wife has an s7 which I updated to the latest version 6.0.1 with sep. 1st security update, but the battery started draining super fast after that and the phone gets hot.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried resetting the phone. I would even go back to the previous version if I knew how.
I seem to have the same issue
My battery life and signal have been horrible! Constantly losing 4G ... when I lose it, my signal bars show as being full but can't make or receive calls. Been needing to reboot about 3 times a day in order to get signal - even after a factory reset ?

I have a T Mobile Galaxy S7 and I've been having SEVERE battery drain issues. Possible solutions I have in mind: rooting and flashing a proper ROM, replacing the battery
Any ideas? Any recommendations? Tired of having to battery pack recharge three times a day.

Some devices drain much more than others, which kind of sucks to be honest. I've heard people get amazing battery life however, I'm on your same boat my S7 is a lemon and it drains very fast. The only temporary solution I've found is to flash the U firmware, change the CPU governer to conservative and to install ampifly, greenify, and power nap and then activate the modules using Xposed.
Doing this gets rid of the drain we usually experience while our devices are idling, so the only battery drain we experience are from apps we are using while the device's screen is on.
Man, can't believe it! Since CyanogenMod is out of the mix and LineageOS doesn't support the this particular T-Mobile version of the GS7... It appears we have to resort to these measures.

Well I mean they would most likely add support if we had unlocked bootloaders in the first place... It's not their fault.

Ah, not blaming the CM team whatsoever. Just longing for CM on my phone!
I've been using the OnePlus One with CyanogenOS 13.1 for a while now, but reception seems to be very flaky. I live in an area where reception is already not that great, but nobody else here has as many problems with it as me. At work, I'll have 3 out of 4 bars and "H+" supposedly, but will be unable to open a web page. Incoming calls will make my phone ring, but once I pick up the call will drop. At home, I have to rely on a mobile data connection. It always says "4G", but every couple of minutes the connection will drop for anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute or so (not fun when gaming ).
So in general, the phone will say it has good reception, but it won't actually work. When it does have proper reception, it will drop every couple of minutes. What do I do about this? Will it help to flash an alternative model image, perhaps?

Try flashing the C7 firmware maybe that should do the trick
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/firmware-modem-oneplus-one-t3462214
Download the file ,take backup before flashing
I suggest u flash the
bacon_firmware_update_2016_1-25_.4.0.1.c7-00011.zip
Worked well for me

I'm in the same boat, Cyanogen OS 13.1 and same reception issues, if you could update us whether c7 resolved it or not it'd be great.
As far as I can see it hasn't really improved things that much. There seem to be less of those long stretches where the connection stops working for no apparent reason (although they're still there), but the overall connection speed appears to have decreased dramatically. It's also done nothing to fix the problem that when I get called from certain IP phone systems the call will just drop immediately.
Hello guys, im just new here and i have a little problem on my phone which is the battery...
Whenever i get to 50% or half of my battery percent it drains so much faster than the other half (100% - 51%)
I havent tried calibrating yet but im about to try it today, it drains 1% like every 20-30 secs.. my phones model is lenovo a7000-a and rooted.. any ideas? thank you in advance

The battery is beginnig to break down and fail. Replacement is the only fix, eventually it will get worse then quit on you.

Thank you, ive done calibration and seems to fix it a little, i think its just the device miscalculating the actual percentage of the battery, what do you think? Also to be specific , i just finished flashing a rom from lollipop to marshmallow back to the last version of lollipop .. problem doesnt seem to occure before i flashed :/

It would have been better if you had provided that information when you first posted. If you want help with issues, it helps for us to know the things that have been done to the device that potentially caused the issue.
Don't just say "I'm having "this" issue". This implies that the issue is a random issue that started on its own and not something you did to cause it.
It's better to say "I did "this" to my device, now my device is having "this" issue". This implies that something that you altered is causing the issue.
Failing to post the details we need about the situation leads to inaccurate or incorrect answers. It can even lead to receiving incorrect answers that don't help or answers that might make things worse for you.
If you flashed a ROM and then this started happening then yes, the battery may be out of calibration.
If it had started doing this on its own then I'd say it was the battery.
