My phone is heating as hell - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi guys. I have a problem regarding heat with my g930f. After updating to Nougat the phone started to heat in the area of power button. It doesn't matter what app I am using it randomly starts to heat. The device is rooted and now running Superman rom with super stock kernel. The battery is draining like hell when the heat occurs. Installed BBS and monitor what is causing the drain. In most of the cases says Android system and/or wifi. What I noticed is that I can't fully turn off the wifi. It doesn't matter what the icon shows - off or on, BBS says that the wifi is 100% of the time on. Besides the device goes to deep sleep normally and when is in that state the battery drain is very low - 2% for 8 hours. The SOT is no more than 2 hours which is very bad. Tried stock rom, superman rom there is no difference with heating. The most interesting thing to me is that the heating problem occurs randomly - scrolling browser, watching youtube, playing games, listening music - sometimes it happens sometimes not. Still didn't tried to rollback to MM but frankly I don't want to. I just like Nougat. Any suggestions or ideas what to do will be appreciated. Cheers

Wifi might be locked on due to location services. Connections->Location->Improve accuracy.
Otherwise the low SOT suggests somethings hogging the CPU. Did you factory reset when you upgraded? Have you tried seeing if this happens in Safe Mode?

The location services is set to device only. Yes, I did wiped everything couple of times before and after install. And yes did happens in Safe Mode

No one has any ideas?!

If it doesn't stop even after a full wipe and firmware flash then it might be hardware damage? The heatpipe is in the right of the device, so that could be damaged maybe? It doesn't explain the battery drain though.

I read heat can make these batteries discharge faster when it gets to a certain level, don't know any details though. Maybe it's worth checking out.
Good luck, OP!

[Q] sensation HEAT

hi guys, im here to discuss about my phone problem. Actually, when my phone in Gingerbread 2.3.4, the problem already there.
The problem is my phone will suddenly heat and the battery drain very fast. The only way to stop it is to reboot my phone. But it seem like everyday also heat, then i need to reboot my phone everyday.
The heat area is not battery but is bottom. Somewhere memory slot and sim card slot there. I thought is gingerbread problem, but after i upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 the problem still the same. Any one know what is the problem? and how to solve it. I had tried factory reset, but no luck with that. I change new battery, the problem still there. I have no idea about it.
Apparently its the CPU temperature. Sensation's phone does heat up slightly quicker. Try underclocking your device.
When the CPU is heated, so will other components and also battery in some ways, and battery will recharge or discharge quicker than usual when heated. So its common.
Unless its boiling hot, its quite common.
Well, if your cpu is overclocked yes it heats up. What rom and kernel are you using? Try to go back to stock frequency (1118Mhz) and/or change kernel and see if the issue persists. If you are on stock ics rom and on stock frequency as well and as you said you already tried to change battery, did factory reset then I would say it might be a hardware issue. When I had the stock rom on my phone, it did heat up but not much and it only happened when I played some heavy games. BTW how hot is it?
yup, the CPU frequency it show 1.2ghz. The phone just suddenly heat without playing games, surfing internet or anything. It just heat up and the battery drain drain drain...........until i reboot it. or else, i believe will keep drain until the juice of battery is empty. any solution about fully reformat? i also tried RUU already. still no luck with it. other than RUU, is there any tools can really really clean up my phone software?

You can use the custom recovery to fully format your phone's internal memory. Any Custom Recovery should do the trick.
After doind that, you can try to install any ROM you feel like, like Albinoman's CM10.1, Bruce's CM10, Viper's Sense 4.1...
The reason for your battery drain and CPU heat might be caused for some specific apps to be constantly using up your phone, you can check that in the battery information, in system settings. Look to see if your phone is constantly awake, or if its awake way too often, and also look for what app is draining more power from your battery, and get rid of it. Should make things better.
And finally you can install a different Kernel for your device, and with the right configuration, your CPU might heat up less as well as making your battery life last longer.

My concern is you already installed a ruu so went back to full stock. If it started heating with that as well it might be some hardware fault... Try the suggestions was given above and than if the issue is still there you may consider to send it for repair?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
hardware fault? sad case. motherboard? cpu ? phone cpu is like computer cpu? can it be replace? i know motherboard can replace but not sure for cpu.
Phone CPU is different than the ones in PCs. Remember there is no fan on it so their temperature need to be monitored and controlled somehow. I'm not really into these things but as I remember you can find a good video about controlling cpu's temperatures in smartphones on the Qualcomm website. Well, there was one there before...

battery draining fast

I noticed battery draining fast since I installed gravity box. Without even touching the phone in the morning it will go down to 99%
I attached the screenshot of wakelock detector from this morning. an hour commute with just listening to music dropped 15%
You need to be a bit clearer with your reports about 'drain'
Are you reporting 1% battery drop as a 'drain' definitely due to gravitybox?
Are you using a custom rom with a feature conflicting with gravitybox?
Can you uninstall gravitybox and immediately confirm the drain goes away?
Your 15% drop, were you streaming via 3G on your hour commute? If so that sounds reasonable as it works harder to keep the signal
Try betterbatterystats as well to look at other wakelocks

I am stock but rooted.
I am on lte but half of my commute i have no signal from being on a train. but usually my phone lasts a day or at least 12 hours now i am only getting 6 hours.
I will try better battery stats and then post a screenshot before uninstall gravity body
I have the same problem. I Ajay lost 3%in one minute after using this for 4 minutes. Something not right with that gravity box. I'll be lucky to get 2.5 hours of screen time compared to my 3.5 I used to get.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
here is the better battery stats
not sure if accurate reading since it was installed with 80% battery left.
I will have to try again when it is fully charged
Gravity box won't drain your battery.
Not having a signal on the train will tho....big time. Unless you switched to airplane mode? Anytime the phone has to look for a signal, the battery takes a real beating.

rooting does not necessarily mean you will have better or wore battery. Try changing the kernel, stock kernel gives you 3-3.5 hrs SOT normal usage.(unless you use it to read books)
I had 0% drain overnight when i first bough the phone, but after a while 1-3% drain overnight is normal.

There was some problem with old version of KitKat. Google Now constantly was accessing location services and draining the battery like hell. I don't know if it got fixed or not.
Try turning off location and use phone normally.

Different kernels behave differently for everyone's device and usage. You need to experiment yourself.
But before you do, work out what is using your battery first, electricity doesn't just disappear, tends to obey the laws of physics...
Then determine if it's definitely gravity box, or if you're experiencing phone 'usage' as opposed to battery 'drain'
Leave wakelock detector and betterbatterystats for collecting data for much longer. Put your phone down for a while...

Are you performing soft restarts? If so, that's probably the reason. For some reason, Android doesn't take well to soft restarts, so when you soft reset it never initializes properly and you end up with strange things like excessive battery drainage.

Interesting...I've been having erratic drain patterns lately with no visible culprits. I've noticed it happens sometimes after updating gravity box and I always do a soft reboot, so that might explain it. Do you have any more information about it?
Sent from my Nexus 5
I only did 1 softboot.
I think the culprit is google music it drains the battery like crazy. I tried not listening to music on my commute and got to work with 98% battery. With google music I will get to work with 90%

soft reboots do fine on android. your "never initializes properly" is inaccurate and just plain wrong.

To be honest this looks like phone usage, rather than particularly bad battery 'drain'. Are you expecting that your battery should be 98% if you listen to music while on the move for an hour? Or what would a reasonable expected level be?
Your first post said that an hour commute dropped 15%, now it's dropping 10%? Sounds like an improvement to me.

Low signal battery drain

Hey all, firstly I'm running stock everything on my nexus 5. 5.0.1 with stock kernel and root. Using twrp however for recovery.
When I go to work I get really bad signal and my battery usually drains away (that's understandable) however when I leave work and head home to better coverage the phone stays hot (36°c) and continues to drain with "android os" having a large awake time. I usually fix this by restarting the phone.
I would like to know if there is any other way to fix this without a reboot? Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't, but it happens more often than not with the phone draining 10-20% per hour and staying continuously warm @ 35-36°C during idle.
Thanks in advance !

I assume by "36C" you mean battery temperature - I would not ever even take battery temperature into any sort of consideration at all unless it goes above 60-70C. Keep in mind there are also throttles - when the battery reaches a certain temperature and when the CPU reaches certain temperatures, the CPU clock rate is throttled to reduce heat - the CPU will almost always throttle before the battery has a chance to even reach near it's throttle temperatures. Keeping an eye on the battery temperature is ultimately pointless as it is meaningless unless you know you have a physical battery issue, in which case you should be replacing it immediately anyways.
Of course, if your signal is low then your signal is low and there isn't much you can do about that, but since you have root access, I recommend visiting the stickied battery life help thread and posting the recommended screenshots. Saying that your battery is "hot" and "Android OS has a large awake time" doesn't say much if anything at all.
It may be something using data. The stock battery stats will tell you how long the mobile radio/data was active I believe. If location is on, it may be something using it to update it (probably a Google service).
Another trick that seems to help is to delete the cache. IDK why but the phone seems to run hot until you do this if you OTA upgrade from KK.
Hmm, I have gsam installed and during when the problem occurs, the android OS awake time corresponds to high kernel wake lock. Since I'm off work today the problem hasn't occurred so I can't post screenshots. But even when it does the battery page or gsam or anything doesn't show anything unusual except high awake. I dont have Better battery stats anymore so I can't get a better idea beside what gsam offers me. But since the battery idles at a higher temperature than normal I suspect its because something is running in the background keeping it awake and constantly using data or something. And I don't have gps on.
I've also come fresh from 5.0 with a full wipe before installing via twrp. I never ota on my nexus 5.

Android System huge battery drain

Does anyone else have the issue where android system is consuming 35+% of the battery? Looking at the stats it seems like one of the bundled services is keeping the radio on for 14/18hrs its been on.
Have the same isssue
Yeah, I'm having this issue too. Android System is consuming HUGE amounts of battery for me.
Thought I was the only one but glad that's not true! Still got good battery stats with the android system drain nonetheless.
Charged mine to full last night right before hitting the sack.
Woke up 7½ hours later and it had consumed 33% of the battery just sitting doing nothing bar getting email & polling (presumably) for Facebook updates.
And that was with Power Saving enabled. Bit disappointing, hoping when I disable auto-sync that it'll kill the drain.
There's lots of services running under Android Systems disable the ones u don't use, I have disabled some got better battery life, still testing some others...
The hardware on the phone is great, but touchwhiz drives me up the wall. I'll be happy if and when we get anything AOSP based, CM being the holy grail. Nice to know I'm not the only one getting this battery drain. I've disabled pretty much everything that's able to be disabled, as all I use is google services.
Same problem here.... Huge Android System battery drains.
I've played around with several things, and as of yet I haven't gotten it to stop other than turning off WiFi. Anyone found a fix?
Mine's more a combo of Android System and Google Services... both take up a majority of my usage... Services typically being a bit more.
Why are there two android systems? wtf...
Is there any way to reduce cell standby?

Same sh*t here. Went to bed last night fully charged, and 7-8 hours later, wake up with 23% of my battery gone.
I'm starting to wonder if moving away from the Nexus line was a mistake. I started running again and the N6 was just too big to lug along with me, on arm or in a waste band, so I decided to try Samsung.
Just got my S6 and I noticed this right away. Last charge I had 2:42 of SOT and "Android Systems" used 47% of the battery. I was just watching Netflix and YouTube mostly. My overnight drain is also quite high, about 1% every 30-40 minutes of standby.
Is that normal for most S6 owners?
To all:
Turn off VoLTE, turn off WiFi calling, install CPU Spy, ensure your phone is going into deep sleep. If it isn't, flash the stock recovery with Flashify, wipe the cache with it, then flash TWRP back with Flashify.
Post your results.

This is for everyone. If you haven't flash TWRP, then simply wipe the cache with stock recovery.
I just assumed most people would have TWRP flashed, my bad.
I am guessing that that this is an Android problem as the Galaxy S6 Edge has the same problem with battery drains.

I'm not rooted and I don't plan on doing so. I'm not sure of any other options. I unplugged it last night an let it sleep. Android system used about 14% of the battery. And I lost 20% charge. Cpu run time was 38 minutes too. and I never even woke it up post unplugging it.
I believe this Battery Drain Issue is a Lollipop issue. Was haing it with my One Plus One, I fixed it by going into privacy Guard, and going to Google Play Services and not allowing it to stay awake, and start by itself.
Ill find the actual thread and post it, same issues happening with a lot of phones using lollipop
Battery drain on a new device = bad flash (very common on android devices, first run)
1 wipe the devices and start it again from factory problem should go away. (at least the excessive drain anyway)
2 Ensure you have updated the Samsung Services app (this was responsible for most if not all battery drain issues if you reset your device)
3. Turn the bloody Screen brightness down and turn off Adaptive display (way way way too much battery drain using them)
4. LTE off and Cell data off if you on wifi, your wasting battery power communicating with cell sites you arnt using, the weaker the signal the more power you will drain for no benefit
6. GPS / Loc data off unless you need it even then wifi / AGPS is usually more than accurate, remember GPS + poor sky visibility = more power used to get a loc.
5 NEVER measure battery life for the first 24 hours way too much stuff syncing and updating to measure with any accuracy.
I get a solid 2 days out of the S6 with mixed use and a screen on time of 2:30 could get that upto 3 hours but i have a hearthstone addiction
As mentioned above, I highly recommend wiping the cache, even when not rooted.
Also, worst comes to worse, i'd completely redo the phone from scratch via the Smart Switch software samsung provide.

Battery life seems hit and miss

Hey,
my battery life seems to vary, maybe wakelocks? I am not rooted so I can't check. Some days I get 7-8 hours sot, however today (a day at university with wifi connection) my battery life is terrible, mobile network standby and Android system seem to be battery hogs.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Screenshot attached
I wanted to post the same thing... I haven't even installed all my apps on the new phone,
and I get terrible battery drain especially in standby, it's losing 20% overnight.
Then I factory reset it and it seems a little better now, but it's too unstable...
I was expecting better to be honest, and I only had it for less then a week...
How was your cell reception? Having bad reception has a big toll on battery performance, at least in my experience.
There have been reports of other users on battery drain with certain themes installed. What theme are running and could you compare with the default theme?
same here, not found the cause yet but tempted to do a full reset and start from scratch.
For wakelocks non root, download wakelock detector lite, you just enable it via a chrome app and usb debug, will have to do it when you restart the phone but thats not so often now days.

In my house the reception is not very good, but that's why I set it to 2G and turn off mobile data, leave it only on Wifi.
Did not install any theme, default everything. But really, can a theme cause battery drain ?
Me too
The battery standby stability is not great is it?
I'm currently turning on "battery saver" when I am not using the phone - a slight pain, I know, but it does seem to have helped, a bit.
Will keep an eye on it and let you know (I am hoping to get away with charging the phone every two days rather than every day).
Will see if that proves possible - FWIW, for me, it seems that Ourlook and Bluemail are two key culprits. I have changed the settings on Bluemail from Push to Fetch every 15 mins, which has helped, but of course you cannot do this on Outlook. Well done Microsoft.
At this rate I'll end up using the "extreme" power saving mode
I know battery usage will never be consistent among different users, but the background drain is too much (based on what I see here and the other thread). If you can figure out your background drain you'll be sorted.
I know Dropbox had a bug that affected a lot of people recently, where it would keep the phone awake for hours at a time, they sorted it out in a BETA but not sure if its been pushed to stable yet.
I'd recommend everyone to download BetterBatteryStats, give it permissions via ADB and then use your phone normally until you reach 10% and see what is keeping the phone awake. My phone drains less than 1% an hour overnight (typically lose 4-5% over an 8-9 hour period.)
By the way, it is VERY common amongst the U11 and U11+ for mobile network standby to appear very high. It always does, even when I get 7-8 hours SOT, the mobile drain appears high. I think the battery stats are a bit bugged if I am honest. Sometimes it will say Spotify has been using battery in the background for 10 hours, yet it drains less than 1% and doesn't show up on battery historian. Other times it will say Nova is using 50% battery with 10 minutes screen usage (even though my phone has been running for 30+ hours). Doesn't always make sense.
My experience with battery drain is that I don't have any issues. As others have said, it will be different for different users depending on apps running in the background.
I have over 100 apps installed, some are running in the background, but I usually have 50% left most days. My battery drains really slowly. Couldn't be happier.
I think there is som bug with software
Hi there,
This is the problem I have with this HTC U11+ battery: if I don't reboot the phone after charging, kernel is always awakes
If you reboot your phone regularly you won't notice this.
I wonder if it is a common problem to U11+ and if HTC knows this.
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------
This is CPU
It has raisen to 100% during charging and never changed.
Seems more like a software issue.
I would try seeing what apps maybe like to wake up when charged (anything that backs up only when charging etc) or do a factory reset.

I did factory reset, wipe cache, everything... Unfortunately there are many people with this problem since the last software update, so I think it's something HTC related that must be fixed.

Same here.
I have the China version U11+. After I upgraded to 1.24 via OTA, battery draining has become a serious problem, even in airplane mode.
I have solved it after I noticed the problem by doing a factory reset.
I have the European U11+ and I'm experiencing very fast battery draining after the latest OTA update too.
With me it's Google Play services causing the problem even in airplane mode and with extreme power saving on

I don't think it's play services' problem… Because the maximum battery consumption is caused by the EPS.
Maybe it's a bug made by HTC. They may change some files after the update, but forget to deal with the case of these files have been generated. So my problem was solved after factory resetting.
I use Google apps too, they don't cause battery draining if everything goes well.
I reached out to HTC as I noticed an absolutely huge decrease in battery life. I was asked to calibrate the battery and that seems to have stopped the issues at the moment. Email I received had the following instructions:
Recalibrate the battery/charging logic with the following steps:
•Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
•With the device truly OFF while still being plugged into the wall outlet, push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button, for 2 minutes.
•Let go. Device will boot up, and battery/charging logic are re-calibrated.
I tried that and then reset it and I've been getting about a day since then. It's definitely linked to the last software update despite what they'll try and say.

Same here.
I have the China version U11+. After I upgraded to 1.24 via OTA, battery draining has become a serious problem, even in airplane mode.
I have solved it after I noticed the problem by doing a factory reset.

I have the European U11+ and I'm experiencing very fast battery draining after the latest OTA update too.
With me it's Google Play services causing the problem even in airplane mode and with extreme power saving on

I don't think it's play services' problem… Because the maximum battery consumption is caused by the EPS.
Maybe it's a bug made by HTC. They may change some files after the update, but forget to deal with the case of these files have been generated. So my problem was solved after factory resetting.
I use Google apps too, they don't cause battery draining if everything goes well.

I have to agree that something is happening with the software, and moreover, since last week the drain became really noticeable.
I was losing around 15% by night, so what I did to fix it was the following:
Clear cache of Sense Home
Disable the apps I was not using; for me those were:
Weather
HTC Account
Device configuration
Google Documents (didn't let me uninstall, but Sheets and Presentation let me)
Duo
Zoe Video Editor
Facebook
Facebook App Manager
HTC Alexa
HTC AppCloud
HTC Sense Companion
Instagram
Messenger
News Republic
VR Google Services
TouchPal​
Clear cache from recovery
After doing this, the drain was gone and I was getting 2%-3% drain overnight again, and so far, is behaving properly now.
Maybe you guys can try.

I've ended up doing something similar- starting in safe mode I found that I wasn't getting the same drastic battery drain so I removed/disabled some apps, including HTC Weather and Touchpal, same as you. Now battery life seems much better and Google Play Services isn't causing a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic....:good:
