Hi Guys,
I'm a casual user and usually get 2 days out of my battery with roughly 1-2 hours of screen time. I manage my wifi/data and have, "battery saver," mode set in my location settings.
A few days ago, my battery was on 70% when I went to bed. I awoke in the middle of the day and realised that my alarm had not gone off. The phone had turned off and when I turned it on, the battery was down at 3% and Google Search had consumed the battery.
Having a look around to find any possible reason, I stubbled on the, "Location Reporting," settings which were both on. I've now turned these both off and my battery life seems to loose 25% per day rather than the usual 50% per day.
What are your experiences with Location Reporting Settings and Battery Life?
Thanks.
Edit: just done another cycle and I am certainly 10 to 20 better battery wise than with location reporting on.
I'd say no, as it doesn't affect me and I have mine on high accuracy. I am 100% stock (not even unlocked bootloader) and haven't changed any settings away from default in any app I have installed (which isn't many)
Mine has always been on high accuracy. I've used 18% of my battery in the last 10 hours. I would check your navigation isn't running.

I don't think OP is referring to the high accuracy setting, but the google location reporting menu below.
I have them both off from the beginning, frankly I don't know if it makes any impact to the batttery life.
I think it does make somewhat of a difference. If I turn it off I can squeeze out maybe 20-30mins of extra screen on time. Mind you, I am a heavy user and sometimes I run into deadspots so take that for what its worth.

Mind you, I am a heavy user, and charge my phone sometimes twice a day. sometimes I will run into deadspots, and that will also cause the battery to die quicker, so take that for what its worth.

That's correct :good:, I'm referring to the reporting menu below.
Ever since I updated to the latest google play services (4.5.1 I think) battery drain issued have been solved.

YES. I turned off both Location History and Location Reporting and my phone has way less wakelocks and battery usage. But just leave the regular location setting on High Accuracy...
Your phone will last forever!
I've run my phone with Location History and Reporting and Google Now on. What I noticed was many more wakelocks at the end of the day but with surprisingly little difference in actual battery usage. It has gotten much much better IME as far as actual battery toll.

I'm on 4.2.39. The play store is not asking me to update the services app so I presume I'm on the latest version?

That's weird I'm on 4.1.32 (just checked). Maybe try installing latest gapps package? I had problems with cataclysm ROM in December. Then a new play services update came out and no more wake locks.

Thanks for looking, I'm on stock 4.4.2. What prompted me to look at my settings was just the random chronic battery drain. Google keep saying they have fixed things and they appear to be right. Then out of nowhere, I get a random drain. It's happened 3 times now meaning I get to work hours late....
Google collects anonymous location data from your phone even when location reporting and history are turned off (also did it when on device only mode).
It caused a lot of wake locks for me. I've found a way to still be able to use the GPS without all the wake locks. Simply switch off location totally, then reenable but disagree to the Google terms. Phone sleeps all the time now.
However I'm not quite sure how much battery these wake locks consume and if it's worth losing the instant location access and Google Now features. That's why I'm running my phone this way for a couple of days to test the battery life both with ART and Dalvik to see, if it makes a difference and how big that difference is.
Btw, I also only have Play Services 4.1.32. Does that depend on which region we live in? I would also like to see, if 4.5 would make the battery life better...

Services went to 4.2.40 last night. I'm still going to run without the location reporting on to see if I can get longer than my usual 2 days.
Would be nice to get hear from another nexus 4/5 user who in the past has had location reporting on and has now turned it off.

Hm, I still have the same old version. Would it be dangerous to sideload an updated version of Play Services? Is that even possible?

My updated version came via an update of the search or maps app. I don't know about side loading or how you would get hold of the apk.
So does the update improve the battery life or not? It's really a placebo at best during the big update.

I'd say I've seen no difference. However, consistent battery life is important to me even if not that good. The real killer is when something like Google search decides to eat my battery in the course of a night.
I've read in other threads that if you don't have quality LTE in your area, the phone uses up mucho battery, trying to maintain/improve the LTE connection (searching for better LTE service). But those with quality LTE service don't have such issues.

Doesn't seem to matter what network you are on, 3g/4g, if your phone is searching for the signal all of the time, your battery will take a real hammering.
I just got my Z5 a few days ago, and the battery life is downright AWFUL. With stamina mode on, my phone drains about 1% every minute or two, just while browsing the web. What is going on here?
Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/uDv2hIs.png
Me too, it's a total letdown. Had 3 hours SOC and around 9-10 hours overall before it conked out on me yesterday

Looks like your device is spending a lot of time switching networks which is battery intensive. Are you in a poor signal area?

Occasionally, but not all the time. The battery drain was still this bad even when I was connected to my WiFi signal at home

Try airplane mode and see if it improves. This will allow you to use WIFI but halt network search and switching. Check battery stats after a while to see if that helps. Of course, you will get no network dependent communications while in airplane mode so take that into consideration prior to testing. Battery performance will settle down after a few weeks as well but you certainly seem to have a major drain problem and testing will help you locate the cause.

All right, thanks. I'm gonna try that and report back here later today.
Okay, airplane mode hasn't helped much at all. I'm still draining 1% every minute or two.

That is truly strange. Any running apps killing it? I just streamed a two hour movie and lost 22%. I read somewhere that the pre-installed AVG was a battery hog. I couldn't tell you because I uninstalled it as soon as I booted for the first time. Are you still running it? That may be the next test.

Nope, I uninstalled it immediately too.
Only other suggestion is factory reset or repair firmware both if which are a PIA.

Have you looked at your Google account settings to see if everything is syncing properly? I have seen this before when someone had an error while trying to sync photos to their Google account, demolished their battery until they went into account settings and unchecked whatever it was that was syncing constantly.
Also make sure you have opted out of Google's location history thing in Google maps where it tells you everywhere you've been on any given day, that can wipe your battery as well. Lastly try turning off the xperia protection that allows you to remotely deactivate the phone, just make sure you don't lose it in the meantime !
I got a Z5 the day it came out and it has done pretty well on battery life, at least until I installed Facebook and Messenger. When I uninstalled the two of them, the battery life returned to pretty good. With Facebook and Messenger the battery was draining extremely quickly. I unlocked the bootloader the day I got the phone and am waiting for TWRP as root will sort a lot of this out.
After 3 Days, i looks like a normale Day use by me around 50% battery. I have allthetime Bluetooth and Wlan on. Whatsapp and Gmail sync. I use my Phone usually for streamming musik over bluetooth around 2h hours, read news and message (Whatsapp) around 2h hours, play some games around 30minutes and some Calls around the same time. My "old" Z1 i had usually to charge ones during the day and of course during the night. So im happy with the battery time @ z5.

Okay, I just turned off automatic Google photos backup, and Google's location history setting was already off. I also turned off my Xperia (the thing that lets me remotely deactivate the phone). Let's see if it works.
Yeah, its still draining fast. In case you're wondering, I keep my screen at half brightness. You can look at the photo I attached.
Update?
Did you ever resolve the issue? I'm getting similar battery life and am not happy about it.
This may be a noob-ish suggestion and one that the phone industry claims isn't necessary anymore, but have you tried "calibrating" the battery by charging it to 100 and completely draining it to the point where the phone won't turn on 2 times and then fully charging it a 3rd time? It may be an old, unnecessary habit, but I've done this every time I get a new battery (or phone) and I usually have really good battery life for the first year - year and a half. The one device I failed to do this on was my Xperia z2 tablet and it suffered for it (i think) although that could just be my prejudice and confirmation bias speaking.
- others suggest NOT to fully drain your phone's battery because you might have troubles turning it on.
Did you by any chance have "Glove Mode" enabled in Settings < Display? It seems that your screen is the culprit. Try disabling "Smart backlight" if you have it enabled and "Tap to wake up".
From the screenshot you posted earlier (History details) we can see that even when the screen is off the wifi is on and the phone isn't actually sleeping. So you got a wakelock on your hands that uses WiFi and doesn't let the phone sleep.
In WiFi settings under advanced (Wifi< Three dots, top right< Advanced) do you have wifi as always on? Change it to "Only when plugged in", also disable "Scanning always available" in the same menu.
Any chance we can get a list of apps you have installed yourself on your phone?
Hello all,
I just bought a new galaxy s7 silver (exynos variant) around 3 days ago and my battery life seems to be really bad. I've only managed to achieve 1h 56m screen on time and I'm already at 41%! I keep auto brightness on and leave always on display off and don't keep things like mobile data active. If anyone can suggest how to fix this it would be phenomenal .
I was quite sad considering I have heard of people who can achieve 5+ hours screen on time with regular usage and not having to compromise on switching everything off .
Thanks for the help in advance
Do you have Google Chrome installed? And can you see something like "media server" in you battery usage log as a high power consumer?

I would send you a picture of my battery statistics but for some reason every time I try to upload a picture I get "network error"
My top consumers are :
Screen 31%
Android system 19%
Android OS 9%
Cell standby 7%
Mediaserver 4%
And Also I do have Google Chrome installed
Good day.
Try this and see if it works:
-In settings -> privacy and safety -> location -> improve accuracy - Turn off wifi scanning (The phone turns on and off wifi regularly for location purposes and it uses some battery)
-In settings -> Display - Turn off smart stay
-In settings -> Advanced features - Turn off pop-up view gesture, Smart capture, palm swype to capture, smart alert and easy mute.
-In settings -> Accounts - Turn off auto sync
Turn off hardware step counter at S-health app.
Use Greenify to hibernate samsung and google play app and services.
And if you want to stretch it more have a look at this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/touchwiz-bloatware-save-to-remove-list-t3330241)
Hope it works for you.

Hi mate,
The 2nd guy in this post touched on it. When you see Mediaserver on your battery stats it's normally a sign that your phone, since being on, has got quite hot and there has been substantial battery drain. I've had this same issue before too. Factory resetting etc wouldn't help. And the phone would get so hot. Eventually I read and found a link between Google chrome and Mediaserver. I deleted chrome and mysteriously the issue left, that was on my last s7. My current s7 I got yesterday and haven't got this issue once, despite using chrome right now.

Yeah I did notice that the phone was heating up rapidly and my battery life was falling heavily. I will delete it and give an update to see if it works.
Thank you
Right I tried it and at first I thought that it worked but then today I am down to 25% with only 2h 5mns screen on time. Anyone got any other ideas?
Sorry read that wrong lol I read 25% battery for 2 hrs screen on time!
Accounts syncing in the background could be a culprit or some of the fancy software functionality that Samsung cook in to touchwiz. I generally don't have anything working or syncing that I don't use.
Might be worth going through all of your settings one by one. That's what I did when I first got the phone.

I'll give it a shot , how does your battery life seems to do? also, do you use power saving mode ?
At this moment in time I've had 2 hours 44 minutes of screen on time and I've got 53% battery left.
The majority of that usage has been on WiFi though and I do have auto brightness enabled. One thing I have noticed about the s7 screen is, it is very good quality and incredibly bright. I have spent a good amount of time tweaking the auto brightness so the screen isn't any brighter than it needs to be in various light conditions.
I was suffering from rapid battery draining and the phone getting overly warm when I had Google Chrome installed. I've removed it, and it has taken those issues away completely.
I have come from a nexus 6p and don't miss the extra 500mAh of battery to be honest.
3hr 28 minutes of screen on time now with 43% battery left. Still on WiFi but have been playing a bit of order and chaos 2, reading the news, browsing forums and general Internet surfing. I don't have much on in terms of push notifications other than Gmail and have my Samsung Internet app syncing and some stuff related to my Google account.
If it's of any help at all, my phone is on the 3 network in the UK running the stock 3 branded firmware.

Yes my battery life does seem to have improved considerably. I am at 50% charge with 3h 35mns screen on time so so far so good
Good news mate!
Alright all was going well regarding batteey life until recently when it began to slack off again. I hopped in to srttings see what was consuming all of my battery life and it said android system. Anyone know what that's all about?
Hey people,
Recently installed Android Pie and noticed that battery drain in background has increased.
Anyone else having this situation with the new system?
You are not the only one...I'm trying to figure it out as well...I know on the second beta I had the battery life of the gods. I went 3 days without charging my phone and still had 40% left but after that beta it was all down hill...have you noticed Google play services consuming more battery?
Sometimes. But most of the time play services wasn't that much of a drainer. The worst part is that the "full device usage" has been useless ever since the official release. And I keep all of my apps restricted not to operate in the background.
I have tried going back to Oreo and then installing the update from there. Let's see how it goes from there

I've had Google play services go crazy from time to time on Pie. Finally installed greenify and have greenified as much as possible. Will see what happens. Though I've notice play services really eating up battery in airplane mode.
Also, I think the play store is triggering play services issues. Will see in a day or two.
I've noticed an increase. Lost about 10% last night which is more than I used to. hoping that now pie is final that essential can make optimisations and additions specific to ph-1 that will help.

I had horrible drain right away. Checked BBS/Gsam and it was clearly GP services and the play store. Just did a stop/clear cache/clear data on both and yesterday I got 8hr SOT.

I've done this several times on 9.0, only to have GP services suddenly eat the battery a couple days later. Installed greenify and seen that the play store keeps restarting and the Google app was always working. So to test i disabled them. Will see what comes.
I hope yours behaves!
From the looks of it greenify has been helpful. I resisted on using it because for some reason it made my phone touch-vibrate even with battery saver on. But let's try it again and see how it goes
It takes a few days to settle down.

Hi I had an issue too. XD
Before pie I used to use 7h but now only 5h30
I found problem. It was intelligence battery maneger
I turned off after that okey.
Go settings -) bettery -) bettery manager -) turn off manage apps automatically
Hi my battery is dying fast since 9.0. I think i had about 2mins SOT since last charge and it was about 60%. I too noticed Google App running constantly so I disabled it. Battery is still loosing charge quickly.
If it is the battery optimizer it may day a few days to settle down. I will report back any findings.
On a side note, I installed OTA, then did a full wipe.
If all else fails, factory reset the thing.
I did a fresh install. Noticed overnight 7-8hrs of off time on the screen, it is using about 10-12 percent. Normally 4-5 percent it would use. Running custom elemental kernel as well. Not cool.
Disabling the Google app and or Google play store caused Google play services to eat even more battery.
Now my current test is to enable all Google bloatware. If you notice Google is tying in all there stuff together especially with assistant. My current guess is, because of this if you have certain Google products disabled etc... It causes a circle and constant attempt by one or more apps to accomplish something that's disable.
I'm sure the Googlers don't disable all the Google stuff we do.....
These are my current stats. I turned on battery saver at 15%.

That is nothing tho...I was getting over 8hrs SOT with 8.1. Now I am only getting 4-5 on 9.0.
Heh I am getting between 8 and 12 hrs sot per charge uptine between 15 and 24 hrs the lower numbers are when exclusively on the cell network with no wifi. This is about 1 to 2 hours better than 8.1
I flashed on release. This was what I have gotten so far. Bare minimum use. It does drain fast when in use, but idle is semi decent.
Check out WiFi Calling, I think it's turned on by default. I turned it off and my phone has been pretty good today. Too early to tell if it's better then Oreo, but much be then yesterday.

For me it's still super good, using it often enough, start with 90, go to bed with 50-70% depending how much I used it (where with 50% it was a lot!)
I do have all the wiz disabled plus a load of google stuff.
I stumbled onto AccuBattery Pro and am glad it spells out discharge rate in percentages. Yaa... Camera is the most at 17%/H. Next is the Phone at 5.6%/H. Sitting near wi-fi most of the time, I suppose I cheat the phone's ugliness. And I just turn mobile data off with Better Internet Tiles. Now days I sit at home a lot and the cell towers are far away and crap. Damn. At work at the credit union, the cell tower was actually on the roof !

What? Did u voice type that? That makes no sense. What r u doing to get good battery life?
Idle drain here is about 0.6 %/h, satisfying enough for me. Nothing tinkered everything on stock. I just don't use AoD. WiFi and two SIM cards always active, no flight mode. Don't need Bluetooth hence off as well.
And of course no snake oil like Naptime.

Like what specifically?
Adaptive battery off
Smooth display off
Live translate off
Digital assistant off
Covid notifications off
Disable all unneeded apps (ymmv)
Etc
Or leave all that stuff turned on and use Naptime... It's quite useful unlike most battery apps.

I always worry about Apps where the latest reviews are 3 years old
Agreed, but it works - even though the last release was 2 years ago...

May as well get a iPhone turning all the Google off lol
I just did a short test result of my P7P (running AncientOS) using Naptime+
Without it, i would have lost ~2% in the same time.
