Fast battery consumption - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

When I installed Android Oreo 8.0, version SM-A530FXXU2BRG1 everything was fine with battery. When I installed Android 8.0, version
SM-A530FXXU3BRI1, battery fast consumption. Both versions are original for my ISP. Now the battery at a standby time consumes at least 5% by hour. In this version, I have set all the same as in the previous version.

you can't nor should use the tmobile update, it will brick your phone. if you don't have a ATT SIM to get it automatically you will have to do it all manually.
Beware the update break quite a couple things, including the battery life that gets all out of wack. I am still reading to check if it makes sense to update or to stay in a firmware that can be use as a daily driver with a good battery life.

I dont kniow what have you read but I have 2 weeks on 5.0.2 on my D800 and the battery is better, its true that the UI its a little bit in the laggy side but i have a lot of widges. The update its worthy, the things I miss from 4.4 are the wireless storage (accesible from the togle menu) and the album widget, everything else its ok for me
I update my D800 to 5.0.2 and I really love it.

I did the OTA (using AT&T sim) and hard reset a few times through recovery to ensure everything was clean to start with. Most things work great, but battery life has been strange. Last weekend it was around 80% charged and I put it down. Came back a few hours later and it was off because the battery died. This morning I took it off the charger after being on all night (showed 100%). Plugged it into my computer and it then showed 33%.
I also see odd things in the battery control panel showing estimated remaining battery life of 48 hours sometimes. If I were to guess I'd say it's an issue with battery calibration, but who knows. My suggestion is to stick to kitkat for now until a newer version of Lollipop is released for the G2. If you do go with the current OTA version of KK, a hard/factory reset is highly suggested.

You can try instaling (if you have not already done it) a battery calibration app, for me its not a hardware fault but a software one, hope you can resolve it!

Reviving an old thread but even I have the same requirement. I currently use an unlocked AT&T G2 on Lycamobile (Tmobile MVNO) and never get the Lollipop OTA. It always says the current version is already installed.
My question is, if I get an at&t SIM somehow (does it needs to be activated?), will the Lollipop update show up immediately? Are all the initial issues with Lollipop currently resolved? Is it better to stay off the Lollipop version?

Which version of super su
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10 using Tapatalk
i'd say 514 better than lolipop. my battery can last from 5am to 10pm. i am a moderate user. with lolipop usualy it only last till 7 or 8pm
i'd noticed because of battery saving, it kill so many background services even those you select as whielist

Android os huge battery drain over night

I have a rooted s6 with custom recovery(TWRP) and custom rom(THE GRIFFIN) and my phone is draining really fast.
U can see in the picture that i attached below that at 1AM the phone was at 100% and i left it aside cz i went to sleep, i woke up at 7:40AM and the phone was at 53% and all the drain was because of ANDROID OS.
What should i do??
Try a clean flash of that ROM. (you will lose all data, so make a backup)
Also you can try Noble Nougat Experience... i'm experiencing 4,5h/5h screen on time & 3% battery drain over night.

I'm getting the same issue with stock nougat as well as noble nougat experience 3.0.
install wakelock detector or battery stats and check, what do not let your phone go into deep sleep

S7 Edge Oreo battery drain fix (exynos) - finally

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

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?

3a, issues with Android System/Kernel killing battery?

Hello! Let me know if this is the wrong place but ever since I got my 3a a few weeks ago, I've been disappointed with the battery life. The stats are below. The "Averaged per complete charge" are completely inaccurate as I've never hit > 4 SOT, ever. I don't really know what to do at this point because I've tried cleaning out everything I could.
These stats are on a regular work day, light usage. Texting, 2 or 3 calls, etc.
battery stats
Any tips?
If you're on stock, then custom kernel should help. I'm quite happy with the battery benefits that EX kernel brought to my Pixel 3a. You can find it here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3a/development/kernel-pixel-3a-xl-elementalx-1-01-t3931185

Thanks. A poster elsewhere recommended a system reset and flash the newest update and release basic apps for a few days to see how the battery does.
Can I flash a custom kernel without root?

In Android 9 you can use TWRP custom recovery to flash kernel ZIP without having root. If you're on 10 you still might be able to flash it without root in fastboot (or should I say in "fastbootd"), but I didn't try that.
