4 days + on ONE charge! Amazing Battery Life

Howdy all,
Just thought I'd relay my battery stats on my Rooted Verizon S5 with Jkruse's Dark_Theme_Rom.
I had my phone on full with NO charge for 4+ days. 1hour 21 minutes for voice calls, 4hours 8 minutes for screen time and 4 days 4 minutes without a charge. My S5 always has: Bluetooth on, Location on, Mobile data on, sync on and I keep my brightness at 60%! So I was not just trying to get to 4 days. However when I was at the 4 days it did finally get down to 1% battery left so I did these screenshots for fun. I guess I'm just excited but also if one has an issue with battery life, then I'm not sure where the problem may be. Great phone this Galaxy S5 is proving to be.
Call me happy and I thought I would share.

I do use Glowing Battery Saver. It gives me a nice battery widget and it does have a power saving modes. I use the normal settings which does help. I should also mention that I have S-health on always for my pedometer as I like to know how much I walk everyday. Today was about 4 miles. Picture below is my home screen with the Glowing Battery Saver widget. I use the Apex Launcher and Wanam for an FYI.

Yes your right Glowing Battery Saver has not been upgraded in a while but it works great for me. There are probably hundreds of apps like this and I encourage folks to take advantage of one of them for their device at least IMHO.

I call BS. I find it impossible to believe that the phone went 4 days without charge , while still being used. If I don't touch my phone, it's dead in under 2! I'm guessing he's the app's developer trying to drum up more sales.

I can't imagine what options were turned off, but check it out -- only about 4 hours of screen-on time. Not sure how much one can use their phone over 4 days when you're only averaging 1 hour of on-screen time a day.

Nope, his phone's like mine. If you turn off everything that doesn't need to be on, minimal apps it can be done. Turn off wifi always scanning, stuff like that. I can get 10%-15% drain per day with little to no use, it can go 5+ days between charges that way, seriously no B.S.. Now it's not much of a phone that way and I freely admit I have no life

Before calling BS perhaps you should try some battery saving options for yourself. If I "don't touch my phone" I can go far past two days. Moderate use (3-4 hours screen on time + exchange + 2 google accounts) I can go about 1 1/2 days. Without exchange, I've gotten a little more than 3 days. So, if I "don't touch my phone" it'd go much past that.
People should stop assuming everyone is always lying.

People should really stop believing what they see on the internet!
I don't KNOW he's lying, the whole thing just doesn't add up, to me and apparently others. I'd love for it to be true, but with BT, WIFI, sync, Exchange, S-health, 1+hr talktime, I doubt it's legit. You believe him, that's your opinion. He also hasn't bothered to follow up on the thread since day 1...

Wow, this really has opened a can of worms. First and foremost I am NOT lying! I never had my phone off and yes I did have everything opened above but Exchange, never said that. And I do have sync always on but un-check everything and sync only on demand for my contacts (over 3000+ as I in sales), gmail, browser and calendar. Yes for 4 days I was light on phone use. Only an hour a day average of screen time, and yes only an hour and 1/2 of phone calls so it was not my usual power use, however this is very legit. I only posted about this just to let everyone know I'm happy with my results with jkruse Rom and the device itself. I could care less about whether one believes me or not, but to say I'm lying is really not cool. Move along doubters, nothing to see here. But again it is what I experienced.
If the Mods want to delete this tread because of hostility then so be it, as I'm amazed at some of these posts. Those who understood I thank you... :good:

That's basically 6 hours screen on-time, not bad.

Not too shabby. I still want the zero lemon

close to 4hrs screen time with 51% left

I have the ZL battery... Considering this Dark Theme Rom more now after reading this. And I wonder what kind of damage I could do, so to speak, with a ZL battery, that rom, and NO battery saver app. Probably wouldn't be as long as his though because my S5 is my internet at home, and that would drain the battery fast.

People who bought S3 at launch

I got my S3 classic at launch in the Uk and all was great. I was getting 4 days out if it but in the last 1 week or so the battery only lasts 24hrs. I have reset the watch but it does not help. Is there some sort if battery issue and can people who bought theirs at lainch chip in and tell me if their batteries have degraded severly or are having the same issue?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I bought mine on the release day and haven't noticed any issue of degrading battery.
Do you charge yours every night or just when it needs charging? I tend to switch mine off overnight if it has 50-60% left. I only charge it when it needs it (around 15-20%)
I am not saying this is the reason, it just might be relevant. Otherwise it could be a case of a hardware issue.

I only ever charged it when it went to 10% or so every 4 days

I didn't buy mine on launch day but I now own it for 3 months. I have the Frontier with bluetooth only. The biggest issue that I have it randomly decides not to "Connected Remotely" anymore via WIFI. It will only connect via bluetooth. Meaning, if you leave your phone somewhere in your house faraway from the watch, you're out of luck with WIFI. There is a fix though, you have to factory reset your watch every 3 weeks to 1 month (before it was every 2 weeks). As a matter of fact, I just did mine yesterday and it works again.
Other people are having the same issues as well. If you have the LTE version then you are good.

I got on release day and do the same, charge it 3 - 4 days.

Had mines since launch. I have the classic version and I usually get around 1 to 2 days of battery but lastly I've been getting one day. Guess I need to change to a darker watch face again. The stock watch faces is the most battery efficient ones. Keep I mind I have every settings possible on at all times that's what I don't get 4 days of battery.

This is a good point. It really does depend on which watch face you have. Obviously if you choose one with animations or ones with many features that constantly update (like weather, steps etc) then battery life will be affected.

I've had the one I've always used which is the Golfzon which is black. Like I said its only in the last week my battery has started to drain fast, despite several resets of the phone. I have even turned wifi off. From full charge at 12.30pm yesterday, this morning I woke up with only 8% left. I have DND from 22.00 to 7.30 and brightness at only 4.

Do you get a lot of notifications? Do you have fitness tracking? Or any other setting or recent app install that has changed since you noticed this? The only thing left to try is a hard reset and just use stock apps and faces for as long as the battery lasts. If it's still dropping too fast then it has to be a fault. It may even be covered by warranty.

Looks like a fault. Nothing has changed, as mentioned done several resets. My friend who bought the BT version of the frontier S3 2 months after me confirmed mine has battery issues. Both taken off charge at the aame time and after 5 hours mine was at 74% and his was at 86. Difference was his screen is always on. Mine switched off and only when i flick my wrist it comes on so mine should be lasting alot longer than his. Battery from 3 days to now around 12 hours is a joke. Samsung will be collecting for repair tomorrow.

I never enabled it just checked again and it's disabled so looks like it a fault with the battery.

Within 2 hours of samsung centre receiving my watch i get an email to say its been repaired. I call them and they say they reflashed the watch and it should be ok. I asked them if they tested the battery drain and they kept saying it passed the software test. I again asked them it the test specifically tests quick battery drain andbhe said no. I got a feeling the watch is going straight back and this time I will speak to Samsung HO. I'm not having my £350 watch opened up time and time again and I will ask them to replace the watch outright.

It's still possible that a reflash may fix it, but failing that you would have a good case to have it replaced. Let us know how you get on and good luck!

Ok tested this overnight. It dropped 40% from 10pm to 7.30am while I slept. It has Dnd on from this time so the drain is still there. It uses to drop between 15 and 20% when the battery was good while I was at work between 7.30 am to around 8pm. So time to give Samsung a call!

Have you done a factory reset and used it for 24 hours to see how it performed without any apps, watchfaces, or settings changes?

My friend has the frontier BT version. We both took it off charge at the same time and had the same watchface and exact same settings with AOD. After 9 hours his was at 71% and mine was at 44%. Like I said before, the watch was fine since launch up until 10 days ago where the drain was 3x quicker than before.

There's no doubt something is wrong with your watch. The question is how to fix it. The first step is to determine whether it's hardware or software related. A hard reset followed by using without any installed apps, will eliminate the latter.

I think we can safely say it isn't software as they reflashed the watch at the service centre and prior to me sending it in, I did several resets. The service centre they sent it to has awful reviews in Google and it does not fill me confidence. If they send it back still not fixed I will have to send it in 1 more time before they will replace it ( they say thats their terms). £350 spent on the watch and I'm starting to regret it ?

Discussion: post your battery life, BT and 4G variant.

Hello all,
I'd like to know your impressions about battery life on our HW2.
my feeling from now: with BT model, 2 days battery life, with 4G variant (with no sim card in), just one day and sometimes even less.......
standard use on both models, quite a lot notifications, some calls, intensive use of watchmaker faces......
what about you?
thanks and regards

I've got the 4G version. Every day I get vastly differing battery results. One day it might be 2% per hour, the next day it might be 15% per hour. I have a SIM card installed but I have it disabled as it kills battery when the watch is disconnected from the phone.
At first I was not happy at all, but as soon as I reached the conclusion that I would have to charge it every day, I stopped caring about battery life.
Not good enough really, but AW 2.0 is what it is.

That's why I opt for BT version. Eventually you cannot use 4G at all. You need to keep your phone connected all day long and that make 4G version non-sense. The only regret is the lacking of Global rom for China BT version.

hello,
I agree with you about every day differences and i have realized that my problem is when i forgot my phone and i move more than what BT can reach. I found better situation now after I got last samsubg s8 update, better bt better battery life for my HW2. ( by the way I wake up every morning a t 5.00am and i go to sleep normally around 23.00..)
As I wrote I dont have sim card, I think for a few money more you can have, eventually, opportunity to put sim card if needed, with bt version, if you need sim you have to buy new watch.
regards

I have the 4g, I get about 16 hrs battery life without sim, and with wifi and location disabled. I have tried everything i can think of because I know there is people getting 2 days battery life. Even wiped and flashed a full rom from this forum. But my watch just drains too fast, about 6% an hour in normal use and 3.5% with airplane and theater mode...
I am currently on a trip, but I think I will try to get my watch replaced when I get back

It is probably an app that you have running on the watch. You can check via the 'Watch battery' settings on the phone in the Android Wear App. I found that Huawei Health was using about 6% of my battery. I didn't use it, so I disabled it on the watch. I have disabled all the system I apps I don't use like Runtastic and all of the builtin watch faces (I use a Google Fit watch face). Things got better for me immediately afterwards. I can get two days with everything disabled.

I cannot be 100% sure but I don't think so. I tried resetting the watch and not installing any apps for a few days. I have tried that several times, same result.
I also tried disabling almost all apps in the watch. So much that it was the dumbest smart watch ever. That way I almost got 20 hours, but the watch was useless and still far from the 35 hrs some people is getting with regular use.
I also have updated play services in the phone (Mate 9) and the watch. Same thing.
This is what my stats look like on a regular day:

Yes I use sleep as android. I wish the sleep app were build in by huawei. I also have a Garmin 735XT and it starts the sleep tracking automatically. It would be nice if sleep as android could do that.

Went for a unicycle ride this evening. Put a sim card in the watch so that I could left the watch at home. I used the endomondo app for trackning and the watch was fully charged. The ride took 1 hour and 9 minutes. After that I had 57 % left of the battery. Maybe the huawei sports app drain less battery or is it the sim card that is the problem. I think that I have read tha Huawei says that the battery should last for 10 hours with a tracking with gps and puls on.

From my experience it is the SIM card that drains the battery. I've seen the same 10 hour claim. It isn't true unfortunately.
If I have the SIM enabled in an area with no reception, the battery can drain in less than two hours. It's insane.
I just enable 4G when and if I need it.

Note 10 Plus bad standby battery drain

I've had my AT&T Note 10 plus for over a week now, and for the first week the battery life was stellar. Three days ago seemingly out of nowhere, battery life had tanked. Some context - I came from a Note 9 which had fantastic battery life. Location on, widgets, notifications, etc were enabled. I feel I shouldn't have to yield to or cripple my phone to get decent battery life from it so I refuse to do that on a device that costs this much. It should just work.
Anyway, fast-forward to three days ago with my note 10+ - same settings and everything as my previous note 9 - and out of nowhere the battery life just starts to tank. Android System is seems to be the drain, but I'm not sure what in there is causing it. The phone is constantly warm. As an experiment, I've put it on airplane mode now with wifi still on and the phone has cooled down but I'm not sure yet if the battery is being drained less or not as it's only been a few minutes. But, I am losing about 6% battery/hr not even using the phone. That is rather unacceptable after it having worked just fine the first several days I've had it. I refuse to disable location and do other seemingly band-aid tricks to help the battery along as I don't feel that really solves the issue and should be unnecessary for a device that costs this much money. I also refuse to factory reset unless I ABSOLUTELY have to because these phones are a pain in the rear to setup, even with Samsung/Google's restore. So many settings to go in and manipulate.
I hope this resolves itself or I can get to the bottom of it somehow. I really love this phone and really don't want to go back to my iPhone XS Max over a battery issue but it is just unacceptable for the battery to drain like this with little to no actual use of the phone. The other night by the time I had placed it on the charger, android system was up over 30%...
is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I apologize if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find anything similar.
EDIT
After putting the phone in airplane mode (wifi left on), it has cooled down and battery drain seems to have improved. According to the battery graph it looks like the phone is also finally going to sleep. Previously the graph went straight down to the right with no flat spots.
What could this be? My cell reception hasn't changed and I'm at wit's end

I use Naptime from the play store by Francisco Franco and no as the title of his app says you don't get 9000% better battery. You'll need a couple of adb commands to get it to work it you're not rooted.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze&hl=en
This is a quote from Franco - Unbelievably improve the battery life during idle of your device by empowering Android's built-in Doze power saving functionality. It supports Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and now Pie. It features more options for rooted devices, but it'll also work if you're unrooted.
Naptime also allows you to disable WiFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth during doze for that battery life /flex ?

I find that I'm losing around 1 to 0.7% per hour is that normal or considered good? The other night my phone was at 95% I woke up 6 or so hours later and it was a 89%. I'll need to do some thorough testing, but I don't know what to make of those results.
Anyone on here have some advice on weather that idle time is good or bad? My device is an unlocked n10plus running Snapdragon

-If you charge to 100 and put it next to your bed. How much is it next morning?
-do you use the led cover?
-are there any less known apps in your list?
Switching off wifi, Bluetooth etc is useless. These are efficient enough nowadays.
I tested these kind of "tricks" and no difference after my nightly sleep test.
Sometimes an app like evernote, google foto's or journey is downloading a lot of data in your new phone.

With all my last Notes I get a .6 till .9% per hour in a situation where i put my Note next to my bed and do not touch it during sleeping hours.
I live on three different locations, in different countries even, and that shows some battery consuming difference. Routers and provider locations are not the same.
I have more than 180 apps installed. No games however.
I am not rooted, but use GSAM battery monitor. The quickest way to see the hourly consumption.
Factory reset means a full day work for me. E.g. banking apps need a lot of tuning. Even using Google and Samsung restore.

I charge it overnight while I'm sleeping. No lesser-known apps installed, no LED cover either. Not rooted. this literally happened out of nowhere after days of it being great. Not sure what could have happened, or if it's something on ATT's end? I don't know where else to look. I'm with you on the factory reset. It's such a waste of time and will take up hours.

mine also been facing this battery drain issue since day one. Tried using naptime just now and it improve my battery life ALOT!! Thanks for the suggestion

Pls try to charge it before going to bed and leave it to see how much it spends overnight w i t h o u t touching it. If it is higher than 1+%/hr something is wrong..
I buy a new phone every year because I am nuts. But I always register in Evernote my findings.
Frequently the power consumption is higher in the beginning, because a lot of background activity like data reading and background update of software.
If it is more than, let's say 1.2%/hr during overnight sleep it is not ok.
I am doing this test now with my Note 10+ 512 (Yes i am nuts, I told you) and will inform you later.
After seven hours .8%/hr which is normal.

I can tell you right now that it's losing 5-6% an hour just sitting there. The phone has been set up for days now so I know it's not the setup process. Like i said, it was fine for almost a week, then out of nowhere this happens...

Pffff, you have a problem. So in settings/maintenance/battery there no apps with high use?
After just rebooting the phone the consumption starts immediately?

Yes...I know I have a problem...Android System is the culprit. Beyond that, I do not know what in "android system" is causing it. Perhaps a wake lock bug? A wifi bug?

It's always the same with my Samsung devices it's rediciculus Samsung. On your note 10 or note 10+ before switching to flight mode set the network setting to 3g only! In 7 hours you will loose only 2% battery instead of 8 or more. Same was on my note 9 but Samsung finally patched this behavior a few month ago. Now the same with my note 10+.
This problem is only for the flight mode. So you can test 3 things in 3 nights. You have 3 options before going in flight mode. In network selection choose 3g only. Than watch what happens over night. Next time you choose 2g/3g only and you can try it with 2g only.
For me doing so 1-2 % battery drain in 7-8 hours.

I've pretty bad reception with 4G. But no crazy 25% drain over night, more like 4-5%. And that's with the non plus Note with exynos.

With naptime, do you get notifications instantly? I have auto sync on all the time, is there any issues around this?

Just bought a new galaxy note 10 and overnight from 100 % i have 57 this morning. Whats going on?

Is this normal on note 10 plus battery health?

My N10+ is about 3 weeks old, but I found, like you, that after a couple days of stellar battery life my idle was starting to drain pretty fast. Going to bed and waking about 6 hours later I was missing around 20%. This is with all apps closed, WiFi, BT, Location, Link to Windows, Mobile data, NFC, Sync, and AOD turned on. I turned off AOD, NFC, and Link to Windows. My battery drain since, for the better part of 2 weeks, has been about 5-6 percent. Around 1% an hour while sleeping. I don't know how I can help, but I hope this does. I honestly can't complain about this battery. I have been getting 6-7 of screen time before having to charge around 10%.
Edit: also turned off edge lighting, which I had enabled before.

ehm so you made your top shelf 1000$ device into a feature phone ... that's no solution

I don't remember saying, "Here's a solution for you!" No, I simply posted what I did to stop the horrible battery drain that I was experiencing.
Also, I spent the $1,100 on this phone and I'm pretty sure I can use it however I want. Feature phone, paper weight, fish tank decoration..:good:

My N10+ has been sat on my desk and not used for 4 hours yet battery has gone from 100% to 78%.
I don't know how this is acceptable.

I have the reg note 10 and ive been battling this for a couple weeks. nothing seems to keep the system from sucking the batter dry. Standby life is a joke. i lost 40% today with the phone on for about 10 hours and 30 min SOT while i was at work. I cant figure out whats stuck in the system, tried literally everything

Question Abnormal battery drainage

Hi to all,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 12GB/256GB (Exynos 2200) one week ago and noticed abnormal battery drainage for a new device.
I read on the Samsung official page battery can be consumed a little faster right after purchase and I should wait for all the background operations and syncing to complete.
But six days after I started to use my new device, the battery cannot even last until the evening. Today at 08:30 AM I had 100 % of the battery, at 5:30 PM it went all down to 0 % with light to moderate usage. Literally.
In battery settings, it says the full charge will last about 11h 55 min which is a ridiculously small estimation for a flagship mobile phone.
I installed all kinds of different apps to check battery capacity and health and didn't notice any deviations.
So my question is if this is normal for the first week of usage or something is very wrong with the battery or sofware?
Thanks for your help.

Go into the Samsung Members app on the phone and on the lower right you can select Support, run diagnostics for the phone’s battery and contact Samsung tech support. This should be your first steps trying to get Samsung involved with getting your battery problem resolved.

I have submitted this issue through the Samsung Members app. Diagnostics for the phone's battery also says that the battery is good among the 2-3 battery health apps I have installed.
I think the problem is not so much hardware as the software which drains this battery abnormally.
I used Smart Switch to transfer all my apps and other data to my new phone before first use. As I read here and on other forums/Reddit this could be the problem. I did a factory reset yesterday and will see how the battery will perform next few days, only transferred contacts and SMS messages (today battery's performance is still very poor). My notifications didn't work for some apps transferred through Smart Switch, but now they do work.
This thread describes exactly my problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/S22Ultra/comments/t9lw4d
If anyone has some other ideas about why this is happening, I would be very grateful to hear them.

I have bought S22 ultra used 1 week ago and mada backup from S21 with smart switch. Abnormal drain usage here too.. i have set ALWAYS ON "on touch" and seems it stopped a little battery drain..
Anyway, how do you think level volume is? It seems lower (sound and vibration) comparated to S21..

This just confirms my theory this is a software rather than a hardware issue.
I am not keen to turn off features why I bought the device in the first place so the battery does not drain until 5:30 PM.
Also, I did not mention that I get battery overheating occasionally while I am not running any demanding apps (mostly I use a web browser, social media apps, etc.).
BTW, I got a response from a Samsung Member app and it is quite generic and not really of any help as expected.
I think level volume is quite satisfying compared to my previous device, Huawei P30 Pro.

On my S22, always on "always active" drains battery very fast.. now it seems returned "normal".. like you, i think too it's a software issue and not hardware, but i haven't tested S22 after a cleare factory reset so i can't be sure about this

Hi, this isn't normal behavior. If diagnostic says that the battery itself is ok, then it must be a software issue. What application is reported as more battery consuming in the statistic? Have your try to run for a day the phone in safe mode to check if this changes?

Hello. It's not normal, of course. Definitely a new battery should last longer. Maybe you got a defective phone. Rarely goes to the experts.

Well it is a well known issue that smart switch can make a lot of trouble to your new phone. I'd strongly suggest you try to factory reset again, preferably from recovery and manually set it up, it I'll take time but you will notice the difference after the settling time pases. There should definitely be something software related. After using the phone for more than a year and read a lot of info on the subject, with most of the functions on and no tricky hacks, mine last a full day with 5 to 6 hours sot. If I use it from 8 am to say 11 pm, I can get from 6 to 7 hours sot. Hope it helps.

Right now is WhatsApp, and sometimes is Google Maps, Facebook, etc. Nothing unusual here. The percentage is also normal. Haven't tried run a phone in safe mode, but guess I can try.

Didn't know Smart Switch is a well-known issue. Why do you think I should perform a factory reset again? I did manually set it up yesterday, only transferred contacts and sms through SS. Now all my apps are working properly, at least that is something I solved.

Yeah this thing with Smart switch I witnessed since the note 20 ultra and again with the s22u. I think you should reset again specially if you didn't do it from the recovery menu, maybe you can first wipe cache from there and give it s try a few days and then the hard reset from there as last option.

Quick update: I think the battery's life has some improvements. I lost only 5 % overnight (around 8 h of sleep). Previously my battery drained for 15-20 % in that period.
Yesterday around 3 PM I had 80 % after charging and now it's 31 % but also with light/moderate usage.

Unfortunately, seems factory reset and not using Smart Switch for app transfer did not improve battery life.
Here are the stats after three days of using it:

Health still looks good, but 5 h of SOT (20 % per hour) is unacceptable.
Yesterday battery temperature went to 40° C and I wasn't even using the phone, just felt the heat. No apps in the background, nothing. Very unusual.
Guess my only option now is to go to the service for further physical diagnostics.
