Hello,
I've been using AirDroid for months and it is a great app that makes my life easier.
Recently, after updating my Samsung Galaxy S6 to MM, AirDroid has kept my phone awake, making the battery die very quickly.

This is mostly on WiFI.
I've seen reports of it happening to other users on M as well.

Hangouts is majorly draining battery, not only the app itself, but cause Android System/OS draining battery aswell on my Note 3 SM-N900W8.
I thought all this time it was samsungs 4.4 update that was killy my battery, but it was Hangouts the culprit.
Solution: Either remove Hangouts or go back to the original version that came with the Note 3 (version 2.0.2). You'll see much more battery improvement if you've been having problems, remove auto-update for the app. Apparently a new version will come out soon to address this issue.

No Wonder why my SM-N900 didn't experience thisbattery drain issue, because at first setup or just factory reset, or flashing new firmware, I always disable this hangout for permanent and use standard sms feature. I permanetly disable that hangouts on my XXUDND2 firmware. Until now my N900 run smoothly with low battery consumption ( with root of course ). Thank You guys for finding this problem.
Salute for all android experts. :good:
Thank you for this. I just upgraded to KitKat this morning and have noticed a crazy battery drain. I downgraded Hangouts to 2.02. Lets see if that helps.
I don't have this issue on NE6 fwiw

For me is main batt drain: system android. Trying turn off hangouts didnt help my batt drain after kitkat update.
I'm using it as my default SMS app since I bought the phone almost 2 months ago. I never noticed the battery drain you're mentioning, not on jb and not on kitkat. I've never even seen the app being mentioned in the battery consumption menu.
Media server has kept my phone awake for hours on end and raped me but never hangouts.

All Google app drains battery when it works in background
Google should optimise battery use on there app
That explains why I never saw it. Disabled Hangouts the moment I first started the phone.
I have an android wear watch. G watch R. Never had any issues with it. Since getting S6 the phone will occasionally disconnect for a short while and the reconnect. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing Bluetooth issues?

glad its not just me but sorry you are having issues. I think the Bluetooth is weaker on this phone.

Actually, both the wifi and bluetooth is bugged and keep scanning nearly all times and battery draining quick. I guess some may also experienced wifi and bluetooth disconnection because of this.
My Pebble loses its pairing to my S6 occasionally. Very annoying. Hopefully its fixed in the next firmware update for the S6.
Had the same issue since I got the phone early April.
I was really loving my G Watch R until the S6 has totally ruined the experience. Worked perfectly with my HTC M8.
I know there's a minor update coming v soon which supposedly fixes the messed up RAM management issue. Hopefully it'll fix this incredibly poor Bluetooth issue too. I'm actually surprised a flagship phone got through quality control without them noticing bluetooth and ram management are so badly screwed up.
If they don't fix it, then I'll be even more annoyed if it's true that LG won't enable the wifi on the watch.
Just got the G925FXXU1AOE3 update om my GSM S6 Edge (SM-G925F).
One of the things listed was an improvement in connectivity with accessories so I'm hoping this will be resolved now! So far so good.

Didn't fix sh** on my watch. The first few hours was a false dawn. I have the phone on a desk next to my laptop and within 10cm of my watch and it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sometimes the phone just will not reconnect and the only way I can reconnect is by turning bluetooth off and back on.
Totally ruined my experience of my watch. Feel like just taking it off now as it's become useless, hoping the latest Android Wear update whenever it comes for the G Watch R may fix the issue but that's wishful thinking as I'm convinced it's a Samsung issue as I had zero issues on my M8.
I use my S6 and my Gear S all the time, never have any issues.
My Tmobile S6 has started doing this again. It did it about a month ago so I did a factory reset which cured it, until yesterday. Now its started again, seemingly out of the blue. Nothing has changed for anything, yet its doing it again. Anyone find a real cure for this? On 5.1.1.
My AT&T S6 still has this issue, any know how to resolve this issue???
I use a moto360 (1st gen). Same issue. Only solution that works for me is a reboot of the phone. The disconnects happen on all my devices, so my car (2015 mercedes) and heartrate monitor (Scosche) have disconnects as well. Therefore this has to be a problem with the S6 itself. Maybe it's not very happy with a 24x7 connection with the watch, as this issue seems to only/mostly affect Android Wear users.
I wish there was an autoreboot app that could reboot the phone every night.
Hey all
I have a Sprint Galaxy S 6 that I just updated with an update that claimed to be to improve "battery drain".
It is losing 13% in a half hour without using the phone.
I have no apps running.
I go to settings and it seems that Google Play services is always the one that uses most of the battery.
I never got great battery life but this update seemed to make it worse.
Am I missing something big???
Any advise would be appreciated.

Probably your phone won't go into deepsleep. This is caused by wakelocks and alarms. You can fix this by rooting your phone and install powernap or factory resetting your phone & start all over again.

I would rather not root my phone... I did it with my last three phones and was more trouble than it was worth for me. The phone has all of the features that I like and I don't have a need to flash ROMS.
Any other suggestions?

In that case factory reset your phone, this will delete all of your apps and data so also the wakelocks and alarms. From then your phone will go into deepsleep and you won't lose so much juice when you don't use the phone
Hi, I'm also having battery life issues. I've factory formatted from recovery menu, but I still get battery issues. I charge my phone about 3 times a day and I don't have any significant drain according to the battery usage settings.

The same here. I have everything okay according to battery stats. But I lose like 5-8% an hour when screen doesn't work. Don't know what to do.
I basically surf the net and use WhatsApp. By early afternoon, I'm down to 60% battery. I unplug my charger at 6am everyday.

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!
Coming here to the great minds of xda for some help. I've been searching for a few days to see if anyone has this problem but have come up short.
I have a Galaxy Watch lte connected to my OnePlus 7pro. I have it paired and have gear manager installed, which also asks me to install Samsung pay and Samsung Health.
Pay is fine. Health however is always running despite all tracking being done on my watch only. Also I will mention that I have denied all permissions to Samsung Health and restricted background data.
You can see from the screenshot that it's been running since I unplugged my phone this morning.
Not sure what else to do to keep it from eating away at my battery without uninstalling it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same issue. What I did few hours ago, was to remove the app and installed it again, granting the minimum essential permissions to run. So far so good, but more time is needed to confirm it has been fixed.

I uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and didn't grant any permissions. Seems to have helped. I've been on battery for 5 hours and Samsung health had only been active for 30 minutes. I hope it stays like this
