Try deleting batterystats.bin from root

Install Wakelock detector and leave your phone for a night. This app will show you what phone processes are most active during the night.

somebody please tell me why is that? and how do i get more life out of my battery?
Maybe your phone only goes up to 9 hours...
Maybe it's kernel related.. Are you on custom rom already?
My Droid on a JB ROM has the Android OS consume about 90% of the battery and it dies after 8 hours of screen off time, airplane mode. *shrugs* if anyone has a solution id like to know.

This has probably to do with something that is running in the background.
your phone apparently doesnt go into "deep sleep mode" Only in this mode you lose just few % per night.
I recommand to shut off your phone, take out the battery for a few seconds, put it back in, charge it in one go, then turn it on again. See what happens.
You can, of course, sleep with the charger in.
Welcome to Android, for the most part, our battery life sort of sucks :/

[Q] 4.2.1 Battery Drain Issues?

Hi guys, I've flashed the 4.2.1 ROM by albinoman887 and only when the screen is on the lowest brightness it uses a lot of battery, really quickly.
Thread can be found here
When it's on standby the battery lasts for about 7 hours, but when it's on it lasts for around 45 minutes. Please help
I've tried
- Wiping battery stats
- Calibrating battery.

Your horrible cell signal is at least part of the problem. Your phone is constantly pinging the towers looking for a better connection. That's a serious battery hog.
You may have the wrong radio for your carrier. Or you may live in a dead zone for your carrier.
Also, is this your first battery cycle after a full wipe? I get results like that for the first discharge cycle after install. But then it becomes fantastic. Drain the battery all the way until the phone shuts off. Then charge it using a USB cord on your computer (not the standard power charger) for an hour past when it says 'full'. The slower USB charge can help to give it accurate voltage readings while charging so it doesn't stop charging too early. See if that helps.
The battery on Albino's 4.2.1 is pretty spectacular for most people, so the good news is that this is probably a fixable issue on your end.
The signal was when I'm out and about, most of the time I have 3-4 bars on HSDPA, I may do a full 24 hour charge or get a new battery
I have this problem too.But if i flash last build,baterry life is good.

30 mins of SOT, 80% battery left, what's wrong?

Connected to wifi, played Tsum tsum for 15mins, SOT 30 mins
adaptive brightness was on
screen brightness was similar to 40% when adaptive brightness is off,
location was off, wifi scanning off
I was not expecting that kind of battery drop when screen on
I'm also noticing that the phone isn't deep sleeping sometimes
Thanks for helping!!

Sounds about the same as mine - around 4 hours SOT and I usually get about 24 hours total from the phone. Also stays awake for seeming no reason. My Z3 was way better in this regard.
Same here! Did Factory Reset solve the problem?

Is there any "benchmark" or normal battery usage for this?
Somehow I seem to get rid of the awake issue but don't know if it really helps
i turned off Settings-->security-->trusted agents-->smart lock
And turned off all apps with usage access except stamina mode and greenify
Also turned off location when not used

XT1225 shutting down at 20%

Guys, my phone it's shutting Down at 20-25%, I'm using Rr 8.1.0 buts is not that random reboot problem
It's just 20% and shutdown, and when I plug the charger just show the percentage it was when turned off. What this could be?

i'm afraid to buy new battery and the problem is on the motherboard and not on the battery. i had a S4 with the same problem and i change the battery but the problem persist.
Well looks like is a "common" problem with Oreo. Also mine and gives some bad percentage readings. If I charge to 100%, then reboot to recovery, the battery percents changes to 94 - 96%, reboot to system and this numbers persist.
If I let the phone all day and at night I reboot to recovery again, I lose like 20% of battery, example: Android says that my battery is at 60% but in recovery says 40% and when the system start the battery reduce to 40%.
Also have some random "turn off" and then, when I power on I lose around 5 - 10% of battery.
And in resume, the using time of battery life is 1 hour max.
This doesn't happen in Nougat.

Galaxy S6 Running Android 7.0 WiFi Battery Drain

So basically just out of nowhere, about 2 weeks ago, my phone's battery just starts dying really quickly when connected to WiFi. I am talking from 100% to dead overnight (7-8 hours). It's an S6 purchased on release day, original battery, but before this issue, I could easily go a day with normal use and have 40% or more. Even now with the problem occurring, I can leave WiFi off and still get my normal battery life.
No settings have changed (I have always had all the suggested battery saving settings set appropriately), no system updates, just usual app updates. I figured an app update caused the issue so I factory reset the phone with no luck. I ran a suggested app, GSam, to check for usage. It hasn't shown any apps consuming the power, just power draining very quickly when WiFi is enabled.

Not sure why this screencap is so huge, it won't let me resize it on here. Anyway, it's a screencap from GSam. The first half shows during the day with minimal use with WiFi off. The steep drop just before the green line is usage when I get home and have WiFi on. The solid green line indicates charging. After that is the overnight period with WiFi on, massive battery drain.
I'm at a loss at what to do. I really like this phone and this WiFi issue is killing the usability of it. If I'm at home and browsing apps with WiFi on the phone dies so quickly. If this were an issue regardless of WiFi, I'd understand that it's just old and a dying battery, but it's only ever present when WiFi is on.
Besides trying a custom ROM, is there anything else I can try to fix this? I don't have it rooted and would prefer to just keep it official firmware only if I can.
Thanks in advance.
