My S3 is normally have really great battery life with disabling unnecessary features and turning off unnecessary functionality. With normal use and with wifi one it has battery life more than a 36 hrs. But at work because of poor signals I hardly gets 20 hrs. and I can understand that problem with poor signals.
But, Ones and while battery dies in 3- 4 hrs. I fully charged my cellphone at night and took the charger off mid night Battery at 40% in 4 hours. without use , where no application or wifi, data plan running. and many time it just die if I don't get up in midnight. This happen so randomly no proper time duration. some time no issue for month or week. Some times I seen this behavior in day time, phone got really hot... I just restart phone and it will fix the issue.
I didn't root my phone running on Jelly beans. Should I contact Samsung or bestbuy from where I purchase.

This is a daily problem for me ever since I bought my device so I got used to it. Rooting the device with a stripped down ROM fixed my battery life issue. But I reverted to stock in anticipation of the 4.1.2 update for the i747.

Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use
none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.
Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?
tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps
well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up
I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.
I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

I bought my Gnex from Handtec at the end of November. I have been very happy with it Until 2 weeks ago. Battery life has not been great but has lasted 16+ hours each day and I always charge overnight so this has not been a problem to me.
I take phone off charge at 7am. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice that instead of 50% at 7pm it was showing only 20 to 30% charge.
I bought BetterBatteryStats which showed no WaveLocks.
I started to freeze apps using Titanium Backup.
The battery life did not improve. I noticed the phone was getting noticeably hot to the side of the camera and charges were taking much longer. Instead of 3 hours it was taking longer than 7 hours.
Last weekend I noticed a drop of 70% in 3 hours on 2 occasions.
So I decided to wipe the phone and install AOKP build 15 with Franco kernel 10. I did not re-install aps. I charged he phone after install which took all night and then reset the battery stats.
The phone has continued to be hot and discharge very quickly. Charging is very slow. If the phone is off - charging appears to be even slower or not take place at all.
My Gnex is now fully discharging in less than 5 hours when idle in flight mode and is always very warm without any use.
I have been using a Samsung galaxy s2 wall charger.
Is this likely to be a faulty battery or phone hardware fault.
Any suggestions for next steps or is it a Samsung repair job.
Thanks
Mke
well, whichever it is, it sounds like a hardware problem that should be warrantied. i would flash it to stock and get it repaired by samsung, or see if the place you bought it will take it back
I get a similar problem but i return it back to vodafone 2 days ago and now waiting for the results, i returned it a week ago and they only give me a new battery to see if that will solved the problem but nope it persist, now they too it for either repair or replace ....

I am on the same build and recently used francos kernel. At night the phone would drop 20-30% of battery on airplane mode. Installed the apex build 5 kernel and all the battery nonsense stopped straight away. It seems to be a great kernel especially with AOKP B15.
Hope that helps.
Recently I updated my tablet to the stock 4.4 room via the OTA update.
Since then, my battery life has gone horrendous.
Android OS takes up most of the battery when the tablet is idle.
With ~2 hours of screen time and a day on the battery, it has drained down to 30%.
Anyone facing similar issues?

I'm having same problem. Device was fully charged, 6 he's later with light use it died. Here's a screenshot showing Google services

Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.
My battery stats have improved greatly by turning off location completely.
Took it off charge at 6am and with heavy usage
YouTube internet calls etc
still have 65% 16.5 hrs later.:good:
Just starting to play with battery use on my new G5. 100% charged 10 hours ago just before bed.
On a day to day basis i am a pretty light user. Calls and texts mainly.
Left phone unpluggged so it slept and 7 1/2 hours layer its at 93%.
20 mins music and email checking 19 hours in its at 88%.
Have Greenified much in the way of apps which i think improved things. Compared to the Sony i had the G5 seems to have ok battery life.
Its certainly in the useful, full day and better range.

Is yours rooted? I tend to get 5+ hours screen on time sometimes 7 which is amazing for a phone this cheap.
Same here, I have about 4-5 hours of screen on time with greenify, non-rooted. I'm a regular user, messenger, emailing, browsing, spotify etc. I'm also using Adguard which has its impact on the battery but a small price compared to having ads all over the place

Nope, no root as yet. And actually i may not depending on what ROMS become available in the future. Pretty happy with the way this is setting up and Android 7.0 stock. I think i may well leave it unrooted until after Android O hits and see where i go from there.
i'm rooted and the battery is very good, i got 7,5 hours SOT, usually i have 5-6 H of calls and 3H of SOT, 2 sims active, wifi and 4g always on, and the battery is 20-25% when i put on charging from evening to the morning. Very happy with this battery

Very good battery for price of the handset
I don´t know it´s a isolated case, but since i bought the phone, the battery is pretty bad, yesterday i tried to charge with another power adapter and my battery it´s lasting longer, anyone have this same problem?
Sometimes this happens to me.
When i keep my phone overnight(Battery Saver ON) even wid a charge of 60-70%, next day mrng, the battery is completely drained and phone is OFF. This doesnt happen daily, happens only sometimes. Any guesses why dis happens?
