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

Some people want notifications.
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?
Not looking good, 22% used in 2.5 hours with 20min SOT

Where is the setting for turning off preload pics and videos in Facebook? I dont see it in the facebook app settings.

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?
I have a note 4 and I'm having similar issue ls
Hi I'm facing kind of same problem but other device HTC one m7 and rom is aicp I don't know what is draining battery in idle time but almost 10 to 20 % is gone in idle and the fun thing is I use airplane mod all the time

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/
http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-note-5-fast-battery-drain-problem/
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

Hi guys.
I was searching our forum and I couldn't find a thread like that.
At first I was unsure for the battery life as I received the phone and I have charged it like twice a day but you know. New phone and would like to have a fun with it and tested. After a month I still think a battery life isn't perfect but with my use it's satisfies me a lot.
Here is my stats after a day. If I turn on a stamina mode and turn off data transmision and wifi, battery should last another half a day or even longer.

As you can see I do not have a stamina mode on. I have no idea why that fecking phone app is the most used app. I don't call much. Like 5 calls a day that last for minute or two isn't much. Maybe that because I have data transmision on ? Even if I'm at home and using wifi.
How's your battery life look's like ?

The battery life is directly dependent on the user.
A light/moderate user will have battery backup up-to two days. While an Heavy user wouldn't.
So after all the battery of the device is nice but not upto the mark acc to me
My battery some time lasts for 2 days with Root applications like Greenify/Trickster Mod etc
I had already made a battery management thread a long time ago. This thread doesn't make any sense.

Greenify is very awsome...
also (for what reason ever) it saves a lot battery if you set a screenoff profile in setcpu with low frequency...
and when you avoid closing apps from ram or cache it also saves battery because cpu doesnt need to start apps again.
There is even the theory that setting performance governor saves battery because all actions are finished the fastest possible and so the phone returns to sleep earlier.

my battery lasts a day and has mostly about 30% after, and even now in holidays when i am not working and using it a lot its still enough... I am not using Data but play a lot of music (BT or headphones)

I agree with what you say, it is dependent on the user. You occasionally see people posting screenshots with 3 days battery and 50 smileys :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: and I just think... did that person leave their phone in their pocket/on a table for 3 days? That doesn't impress anyone and it is a fake representation of the battery.
Battery details like this really help:
- screenshot of battery
- screenshot of SCREEN ON TIME
- a brief mention of usage e.g. 30 minutes per day of watching video, 3 hours internet, 1 hour gaming
- use of battery saving apps or not e.g. greenify, stamina mode, juice defender etc.
Those details really help.
Does anyone else have similar usage to me? I'm trying estimate what battery time might be normal for me.
- about 2 hours of internet every day. It's mostly news apps, read some email and a little browsing
- I don't use games on my phone much, typically 0 minutes per day
- Maybe about 15 minutes of calls per day
- I might send 10 texts per day
- I might take 2 pictures per day with the camera, no more
- Stamina mode active
Would I get more than 1 day usage?
Using BetterBatteryStats App will be really useful bro...

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:

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#)

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.
While using Twitter or any app, my battery goes down at least 4-5%. I can't get decent battery on this.
I have the Verizon edition.

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

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.
Anyone updated to 11 and UI 3.0 getting excessive drain from the screen. According to GSam Battery Monitor Pro the screen is using 90%. On android 10 and UI 2.5 the screen barely used any battery. I have the display at about 50% and using dark instead of light theme.

The screen always uses the most battery.

Already doing that, on Android 10 UI 2.5 it was never that high. At a full charge when I went to bed in 10 hours it would be at 95-96% now while laying around and not using it drops 2-4% an hour. Some of those stats were while it was still on android 10.

Probably Google Backup Transport, Transport Framework and/or Goggle Play Services running in the background. Clear their data.
AOD usage should about 1%@hr
Try disabling all power management and deal with the cause(s) directly if they persist.

I have the display at about 50% and using dark instead of light theme.View attachment 5166121View attachment 5166121

Give it time to recalibrate it's info (battery) coming into android 11. Give it about 2 weeks.

Recalibrate: drain to near autoshut off then fully recharge to 100% to reset parameters.
Mines also going tits up since android 11 update. What I had to do was remove/ exempt GSAM from battery optimization.

That didn't help mine. I'll give another week to calibrate and then start worrying about it.
I also went to Android 11 and this night did the GSAM test: Eight hours my dear friend sleeping next to me. But no AOD.
Result: 0,8% per hour, which is perfect. Before, with Android 10, I sometimes sqeezed out 0,7%/hr but that is of no importance. The best overnight was 0,6% loss./hr.
I have 540 applications installed I found out.
No battery calibrating or whatsoever done.
And..... I never switch off anything!. Bluetooth connection with watch remains all the night and WiFi remains on. Same location/GPS etc etc.
I sometimes become a little tired of reading advices to switch it all off, inclusive radio. Gives no difference in power consumption.
That may have been the case ten years ago.
And here is my GSAM screen. Looks OK.

Ended up doing a FDR and didn't restore any old data. Battery is still the same, must be an OS problem that will be solved with a future update.
I noticed that without any disabling apps and just using battery background usage limits (setting which apps to to deep sleep etc.), the battery life got better with time. The moment i started doing app optimisations (goodlock) etc, battery life went haywire. I use accubattery just to check on parameters (it doesn't give accurate app usage in background). I'm using on 96hz as well.
