BIG PROBLEM
A brand new, fresh out of the box Galaxy S7 Edge [Exynos] (came pre-loaded with Oreo 8.0), merely 5 days in use is overheating (gets to 41°C) and draining its battery strangeley fast (about 1% every 4 mins whilst on 3G or LTE). No apps have been downloaded from the app store and there are only a few screenshots on the phone, other than that it's empty!
I first ignored the overheating when I set it up as by default it had been charging via fast charge so it was understandable. The first day the battery consumption was "ok" since it was just idle and i was bareley using it. The following day I connected to the wi-fi and I noticed it was draining the battery pretty quickly..almost 1 % every 7 mins even tho the screen was dimmed and most apps had been "optimised". I was also worried about the "cell standby" drain which was about 2% every 1.5hrs.
But things began to get out of hand when I began using the 3G connection to watch youtube videos, after just 8 minutes the phone became scorching hot to the point where I couldn't use it for a while. The battery percentage was falling ridiculously by around 1% every 3 to 4 mins, with the display on 40% brightness, apps optimised, background apps limited and all the other tweaks to save battery life being utilised. Location, BT, Wi-fi, NFC and auto-updates(GooglePlay) were all of and it was still getting hot.
Then I allowed it to drain completley to 0% but before that I disabled "fast charge" , it took 8 hrs from 2AM to around 10:14 AM to reach 100%...but this did not help the battery drainage as it was still the same as before.The cell standby reported 3% use in 12 hrs which is abnormal since other S7E( Nougat) users only got a hit 1% in 8HRS. I then came on XDA and saw that many other S7/Edge users that are running Oreo 8.0 were experiencing the same issue with no resolve... I have tried ALL of the following with not a single positive result:
1. Soft reset and wipe data cache partition. 》no difference made
2. Enabling "mid power save mode" to limit CPU speed and background apps . 》 still overheats and drains battery as before
3. Factory reset the phone (there was not much user data on it aside from 5 screenshots). 》did nothing to remedy the situation
4. Disabling any apps that might have been responsible for the overheating and battery drain uaing the Apps manager and the "app power monitor". 》no noticeable change
5. using the "Optimisine apps" option in the App manager
none of the above helped as the phone still gets very hot (when it is on 3G/4G data) and drains its battery much quicker than S7 Edges that were running Nougat a few years back.
AT THIS POINT I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS AND YOU HELP WOULD BE GREATLEY APPRECIATED.

I recommend to update / flash latest firmware available.
Then install a battery stats app like Better battery stats (BBS), record an idle dump and post it in the BBS thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/)
There are some experts analyzing your stats and giving advices how to optimize your system to gain better battery life.

I bought the Nexus 5 on it's release and sadly the battery life has been really bad for a few days now. The phone also restarted a few times randomly while being in standby.
This is my current battery usage (I hope it's viewable):
Yesterday:
h**ps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5TjklEnFH1Kb3F1dkswQjdiYTg/edit?usp=sharing
About 1 hour of screen on time and the battery is already down to 41%, even though I didn't do anything on the phone, except watching the battery usage. I didn't even use the phone-app and it's still listed.
Today:
h**ps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5TjklEnFH1KWTFwbEI0amVHdmM/edit?usp=sharing
Screen on time: ~40 min
Cell standby & Wifi running: ~8.44 hours
Phone idle: 8.8 hours

I'm using stock Android (rooted), a factory reset didn't help.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Your second day seems normal. Nothing to worry about there.
The first day battery killer was the Battery stats plus app. According to your graph it started draining after you rebooted.
On a typical day for me Android system, Android OS, and Google Services all hover between 12-6%
You can try loading a custom kernel and tweaking the CPU settings, you can load the app Greenify
Hey Guys
i have a strange Problem
my last one plus one had a good battery life time but the sound buttons get brocken , so one plus change my mobile.
1 wekk ago i get my new phone, everything is working but the battery drain was very fast.
i decided to install blisspop with bueffola kernel tweaked it a little bit for battery saving and install BBS for wakelock detections.
I elimenate all the wakelocks that cause a fast battery drain and since that te battery drain in idle is minimal but when my mobile phone is on the battery drains 3% in 1 hour.
That's weird cause as i say i eliminate all the wakelocks that causes fast drains and use the phone most time for spotify and whatsapp.
And if i start to browse on the Internet the battery life drops even faster
So what can i do?
Am i do something wrong
or is the battery of this new phone crap and i'm so luckily to get a phone with a failiure battery?
Any suggestions would be nice and sorry for my bad english.
German or russian is better
on 50% battery i have something like 2h of screentime so i thing till 0% battery i will have 4h SOT and this is nothing (don't use the Phone much a saing above only whatsapp and spotify)
Well, to be honest, 13% in 4:30h is not "very fast" considering you had 30 minutes of screen time. Mine loses about 10% per 30 minutes of using the device, going by that there are only 3% unaccounted for which easily fit the 4h standby your device was in.
Anyway. In 4:20h of tracked time, you have 1h awake time of which you had 35min of screen time. The remaining 25 minutes can be split up in roughly 15min of AudioOutput and 10min for several wakelocks such as the proximity sensor doing stuff for 3 minutes, the phone doing stuff for 4 minutes, basically everything is accounted for. All in order I'd say.
What I spotted:
You are on Lollipop. Did you wipe after/before upgrading to Lollipop or did you dirty flash from CM11s?
Do you have the new Lollipop-compatible firmwares (they come with CM12) installed? Not sure they come with Blisspop.
BetterBatteryStats has the CPU sitting on 1500MHz for half an hour. Check whether you configured your system to stay at 1500MHz with screen on which of course would be crap, the CPU should idle at around 300MHz.
It seems you had the device shut-down and then booted. Booting up the device eats massive amounts of juice.
Android reckons 3 days of usage like that, what's not ok with that?
1. Yes i wiped it and don't dirty flash the rom befor i was going to lollipop
2. Not sure have the latest bissplop
3 Where can i check what i configured to stay at 1500MHZ , in the kernel settings?
4. i know i rebootet it once
5. The reckons of the 3 days is not true , it only affects if my device is staying in standy cause i lost nearly nothing (as you will see in the logs i posted in the spoiler.)
The first BBS log shows the Device fully charged at 100% with wifi and Mobile Data on. I left the Phone in standby for the night (8h) and i didn't lose any precent.
So after 8h standby i still have 100%
After 11 o'clock till now i used the Phone mostly for spotify , a few times Whatsapp and something like 30-50min for internet.
In the second BBS log you will see that i lost Bat.: -35%(88% to 53%) [4,5%/h] although the SOT time is only at something like 2h.
The SOT time of 4h would be total normally for me if my reckon of android would be 3 days cause this is the case on my lg g2.
Because i use the phone most of the really only for spotify.
So the main problem of my device is not the idle drain but the drain if the screen is on or spotify works in the background with screen of.
I hope that the BBS logs in the Attachment and the 3 pictures can help you.
Thanks for your help
Don't go by the sudden drop of battery percentage after staying in standby for a long time, eg. over night. The very subtle decline of the voltage over the course of the night is smoothed out and reported as 0% lost. Once you start using the device, and the change in voltage gets more noticeable, the situation is re-evaluated and the previous drop of 0% gets counted in and a sudden drop of several % over a short amount of time will occur. This is physics and by design.
As for the rest, I'm by no means a pro in reading BBS Logs but from what I see, yes you are on Lollipop firmwares/baseband so we're good. The device enters deep sleep just fine, excellent in fact. No major or irregular wakelocks seem to occur, perfect.
As for the daily usage log, I see 7:45h. Of which 4:10h in deep sleep and 3:35h awake, of which ~2h screen on and ~30min phone on. You lost 35% in that time, averages 4.5% per hour. This seems perfectly ok. This would translate to 7h awake time with 4h screen time. I seem to fail to see your problem.
Interestingly the frequency tops now at 1500MHz. Did you change something?
To take myself as an example, on my way to work, I lost 19% in roughly 45-50 minutes of playing ingress. I had about 45 minutes of screen time, GPS constantly active and of course constant data traffic. I arrived 2h ago, barely touched my device in those 2h and lost another 2%. This is more or less in line with your usage, 1-2% when sleeping, 4% when awake with screen off, ~20% with screen on. You're not happy? You reckon you had more on your previous device?
Thanks for reply and help
My goal is to have a few days with android e.g 2-3 days
SOT is not so important.
Important is that there is not hudge battery drain wenn i hear spotify cause it dosn't mather if the screen is on or off it drains hard
On my lg g2 it's not so hard
And no didn't change anything about 1500MHZ
Any suggestion ?
Greetings
EDIT:
Open the back cover of the Phone
The battery is bloated

I took a screenshot of the drain. It was at 91% when I set it off and put it down for the night. When I woke up from my sleep around 7 hours later, it was at 86%. With mobile data I've been getting much more drain than that, like around 12%. I thought turning off mobile data would solve it, but something still seems to be draining it. What else could be the problem?
I have the same situation on MM, 1% drop per hour minimum. tried turn off data, set only HDSPA, currently installed wakelock detector and greenify i will keep monitoring.
I dont have any batt drops in LP, almost always 1-2% per night.
I tried flash stock .163 and now .185 for UE1 and for germany (im from poland) so roms are for my region. Clean install, dirty install, LB and UB, now rooted, the same situation.
For me battery life on MM sucks :crying:

MM battery was okay for me for a bit it seemed, but then the battery drain seemed to jump up a bit. On LP I was bit hard by the "mobile radio active" bug, and it's still getting me on LP, even back on my Z3c, ugh, it's really frustrating. Mobile radio still shows up for me a lot in MM too, I don't know, that part seems like a google/google play services problem, but this other battery draining that's happening, I'm not too sure, and looking at battery system stats, or using another app such as gsam battery monitor, I haven't been able to deduce anything, but if you see anything, please update us.

Here is mine ss, if You can help
I unplug charger at 00:19 with 99% battery, in morning aroun 5AM i have 93%
I don't have any screenshots but I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks (running stock MM), my battery is draining much quicker than expected. I use Tasker to control wifi / sync / other stuff but don't have it running like the old Ultra Stamina but my battery will now drain in 12 hours of normal use (not playing games, watching movies). Looking at GSam battery monitor, the phone radio is draining quite a bit and at no point has the phone entered deep sleep.
Annoying as I used to easily get 36 hours between charges.
since i upgraded to Android 6.0 I lose 1% per minute when the screen is on and I go from 100% to 0% in approx. 8 hours, compared to 1 day+ before.
Same for me :c since the update got less than 3 hour SOT , doze does not help me as i have my phone on my hands or pocket most of the time, it never activates
and i saw the 1% bat drain per minute or so while im on chrome ( i just use crhome, nor videos nor games, no facebook apps installed)

Even with doze, it doesn't work that well, cuz my battery still drained turning off network. Although, last night, I turned on airplane mode, and it drained less, only 3%, but I still feel like there's something going on in the background that makes it drain so dang much.
I almost haven't used my phone since full charge and see: Screen usage is very high, as soon as I turn on, it drops by 1% per minute. I haven't changed anything since MM update and before that I could (heavy) use my phone for 1day+.
I bought this phone cause I couldn't use my LG G2 for a full day anymore, and now I can't even use this new one for half day....

I fixed my battery extremely fast draining by uninstalling Facebook Messenger, now I'm back to 1 day and half estimated use. What happened with this app ? It wasn't battery consuming with Lollipop.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy S8's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I lose about 3% an hour while I sleep. No other phone I've owned has drained that much.
I'm sure it's an app sucking the juice out of it.... I've restored it back to clean factory setting 3 times, after a few weeks it always goes back to about 3% an hour.
I uses Gsam battery monitor, but it shows nothing out of the ordinary other than: System, Samsux DeX (which I don't use), or the Kernel is usually really high.
I LOVE everything else about this phone, other than this.
did your mobile data is always on while u sleep? bcoz for me it drains only 3 percent after 7 hrs of sleep with mobile data off.
with mobile data 10% battery drain after 7hrs
I have the same problem, with mobile data ON...phone drains 3% overnight (8hours).
My old Samsung S6 drains 0-1% over night with cell radio on.
all draining apps optimized with brevent.
battery draining apps disabled with BK Disabler + some gapps services disabled
volte + wifi calling off.
gsam and better battery stats show no problems.
But Android Battery statistics show high cell standby drain.
I think it is a modem issue.
I have got an G950F with DBT Firmware
I lose 0.5% overnight.
Not per hour... but over the whole night.
No AOD.
Disabled bixby and all bixby services.
Disabled anything related to Samsung's voice services.
4% in 6 hours (bad lte 1-2, wifi on)

I lose 3% an hour too. I have an old Galaxy Note 3 on Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (Android 7.1.2) that lasts 25 days on standby. It's the stupid LagWiz bloated OS!
I have the same issue.. even in day or night it drains 3-4% per hour with AOD off. on Power saving mode.
Not sure what to do.
I was having massive standby drain, even with Greenify, then I set up the phone with these settings https://www.xda-developers.com/the-...r-community-radically-improved-my-experience/ (see "Linked a screenshot) and uninstalled Greenify (read somewhere that it can get into a loop of auto hibernation which drains battery) and wow! from 4 to 5% an hour to 2% over 7 hours so am very chuffed!
Hi there,new to the forum and just wanted to share me experience of the standby drain.
I usually put my my phone off when i go to sleep,but afther reading this tread i wanted to test how much my phone drains over night...
AOD off , wifi and mobile data off, lost about 5 % on 10 h,so i asume this is pretty good

It is because of the android apps that is running in background. It keeps running if you are connected to the internet. If you checked which cause battery drains you will come to know that majority of apps are consuming too much power. It is better to install those apps which requires less space and don't updates frequently. Gaming Apps, Time management Apps, Fitness Apps, News Apps are updated almost everyday. So it is good to uninstall it if you are not using it.
I have seen many people who install so many apps but never used any which is not only uses the spaces but also consume the battery power.

i just tried, it's kinda hit and miss action. Perhaps i need to use control mode to get it fully working.
same issue. i got both the s8 and s8+, both lost 15% after 7-8 hours sleep...
after some normal usage the battery dies arround 5pm everyday... this is really annoying.
the battery is the biggest but the only disappointment on my s8 and s8+, hopefully this can be fixedby system patch on some day.
I have a Huawei Mate 10 pro and have been using it for about 9 months.
I used to have amazing battery life with close to 8-9 hours of SOT ( and still had like 20% remaining never really went too low).
Recently I have been getting a battery drain of over 20% per night even if the phone is in doze mode.
I tried every method of finding out the battery drain and could not find it, assuming its a system bug i reset the phone but it did not fix anything.
I have wifi scanning and data always on turned off , so it disconnects mobile data and wifi if the phone is not being used.
I have just factory reset my phone and am posting screenshots of all my battery monitoring.

Please help me identify what is causing this battery drain.
