I been having an awful battery life....my android OS is usually 30-50 when idle and android OS 100% when fully charged.
I didn't do anything with the phone for 3 hours and yet it drained 30% battery. I try downgrade back to lollipop but it turns out that the new software update restricted me from downgrading the software. The reasons are unknown to me. Having VoLTE on doesn't do much battery drain on my other xiome phone.
I disabled most bloatware using PRO DISABLER TOOL and disable location and location history. My display is set to 50% all day without turning on the auto brightness but still battery lost when idle.
When i try to downgrade to lollipop, odin failed and the error was hidden.img. I search for solution on the web. Using method of extracting and deleting the hidden.img before i flash again but still failed. I'm in a loop right now dealing with this software issue.
I'm using a Malaysia Carrier XME built. Galaxy Note 5 Duos (SM-N9208)
I really need help in :
1) can I downgrade back to lollipop and if can, HOW ?
2) if i can't downgrade back, can you guys help me in dealing my battery problem.
Thank for helping me and other people who has the same problem as me...TQ XDA

Greetings and welcome to assist. The error message from odin is because you are trying to install a firmware from a different carrier, the csc file is probably too big which means eithet use a fitmware with a pit file included or try and find a firmware for the carrier the phone was shipped with.
Too fix the battery drain I would first try wiping cache and davlik/art cache and if that didnt work factory reset. You could also install better battery stats and see what is causing the drain, why not create an account and ask here

That's right, I have solved the unsolvable
I had very poor battery life, worse than on my old Note 2 (and I was on custom ROM and kernel, cpu running 1,92 Ghz and GPU highly OCed)
I tried stoping Samsung Apps, Unified Demon(EUR), turning BT, GPS off, brighteness down
I tried deleting cache partition
I tried Factory Wipe + deleting cache partition
I tried GSAM app and Snapdragon BatteryGuru
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING worked...
System Android + Core System was always draining battery the most
and then I tried to flash newer ROM with ODIN and faild miserabely (briked the phone LOL :silly: it was turning on only to Download Mode ) then tried different ROM and faild again
Lastly :fingers-crossed: I flashd the same ROM I was on before which is: N9005XXUGBOB6 and GAME ON, SCORE, WIN BOOM all is fine in the universe again and battery is lasting as it should last !!! :victory:
OK the important thing here (I think) is to flash the ROM by ODIN. Previously Lollipop was installed by OTA and IMHO it is somehow buggy method and screwing the battery life.
Enjoy and let me know if it worked for you too.
Im afraid you havent told us anything new. I remember D4 of 4.4.2 being the most battery efficient release, but no release has been the same for me battery wise. There are releases where i got 2 days of battery with 4 hour screen time, and a single day with 2 hour screen time.
We never know wtf happens on those sammy roms tbh. Root seems to help in a few cases, but that's not a solution for all of us.

I hope I fully understood all your steps and will try this myself today^^ Thanks anyway for sharing your experience!
You don't need to take all the steps I just wrote that for the story.
Just download the same rom which is already on your phone from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin and that's it.

Hi guys, I am using note 3 N9005, the android version is 5.0 lollipop version. My note 3 got overheating and battery fast draining problem. The maximum temperature that happen last time was until 68 degree. I turn off many application already which is chaton, yahoo finance, s health, etc. But the phone was still very hot and the battery was draining very fast.
I think the problem was come from the android version.... So last time I had tried to use Odin flash the v4.3 to my phone, the result was my phone get soft brick, struck at the CAUTION Logo. It can used after i flash v5.0 back to my phone, but I cannot downgrade to v4.3. T^T
So, I need somebody to teach me downgrade android version from 5.0 to 4.3 or solve the overheat and battery fast draining problem. Thank you very much !!!
So i rooted my 6.0.1 android after flashing it using odin but marshmallow consumes battery so i wanted to downgrade to 5.1.1 , i flashed a custom stock rom 5.1.1 using twrp custom recovery but i want the stock lollipop but couldnt flash it using odin because the sw device 3 binary 2 error is still there so is there a way to flash stock firmware ?
Unfortunately you cant downgrade.. what you could do is check and see whats using youre battery and work it out of the issue by doing certain things like lowering the brightness of the screen, turn screen time out to 30 seconds, remove the power hungry apps, turn on battery saving mode, try not to stream so much music or youtube or any other video streaming apps cause that gets the battery to lower fast, reduce video chatting times, ect...
I highly doubt it is mm draining your battery. MM is designed to be more battery efficient with doze mode being introduced.
I suggest you download wake lock detector and see which is the offending app causing the issue.
Finding those power hogs is NOT easy ðŸ˜

Hi. I managed to fix oreo battery drain in my S7 Edge BTU. Solution is simple. There is new official firmware available for tw and hk (they are exynos as well) . Only needed thing to fix the drain issue is flash modem file from hk firmware (EREO).
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474827874
Device stays official, knox not tripped, all samsung apps working, no need to mess up with files from nougat. Tested working, cell standby drain is gone. Before it was up to 30% in my phone, now after nearly 16h only 2%. Flash with odin 3.13 up, 3.12 doesn't recognize oreo lz4 files.
Solution from samsung community forums
More screens
And bootloader
Hwo to fix on S7 flat?
I'll wait for someone to report as I'm running a custom rom right now.
But looks promising =)
Do you have 4g enabled?
Edit: just seen the 4g icon in two of your screenshots, sorry I missed that.
Okay. I found the BL and CP Files for S7 Flat. Cell Standby drian is fixed?. But now "Android System" drains extremly... how to fix that?
Where do you found the files for S7 flat?
I can confirm that the drain is also fixed in the newest version of this ROM:

But Android System Drains
I guess I need to be rooted to flash the firmware ?
I haven't rooted yet.
And for now, Android System drains more than the standy !

For BL/Modem Updates u can use odin if you have no root. If you have root then you can download the lastest BL_CP zip for S7/S7edge and simply flash it via TWRP. i got Android System Drain fixed by flashing TGP Kernel and. I also use ForceDoze app. My todays SOT is actually 5h 50min and i still have 24%. Standby Drain: Nothing???I think Android System drain is a Kernel relates issue bc on TGP Kernel i have only 13% of Android System drain. On MoroKernel i had around 35%-50%?... but with TGP Kernel all is fine for me. Whats your Device mate? Then i can give you all links to files bc i safed them in my Browser?
Phone: G930FD
ROM: G930FOZS5ESG5
Maybe this question is asked by many guys here. I follow their instructions to reboot, re-flash via odin and factory reset for the phone. Nothing improvement.
I see the update for the ROM for ESL9 in Jan 2020. However, root is must for my daily use so I worry for the lost of my root after upgrade and the process is irreversible since the BL will be upgraded.
The android system battery drain is 30% for 8 hours during my sleep. The phone is also hotter in normal use (chat and web browsing only, no Youtube or video watching) when compare the ROM in android 7.
Any helps? I still dont want to buy a new phone as Samsung really want us to buy !
It never happens in android 7.
Great thanks.
