Hi everyone, I'm new here and signed up to see if anyone could shed some light on an issue I'm having with my rogers samsung Galaxy s3 white 16gb i747m.
I contacted samsung because the device is only several months old and they want to send it for analysis. But I'd like to see if anyone here is familiar with the issue.
Anyway on certain occasions when the phone is left u plugged at night and fully charged it will be depleted to 1% in the morning.
When I checked the battery information it shows the Wifi and wake are on continuously through the night. I don't have any apps like Facebook or anything major running in the background. I took a screen shot of the battery screen when it happened once.
When I explained it to Samsung they told me to turn off all my processes before going to sleep using task manager.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

What does the battery monitor say your is eating up your battery?
It says what I have in that picture that Wifi is on and th e phone is awake constantly even though it's not being used.

OK, my wife has had this phone since last September and it has just recently been suffering from some very unusual battery drain. Tonight I placed a fully charged battery in it at 9:30 pm killed all the non essential apps via menu / settings / running services. And by 11:00 it was already at 50%. What could be causing this issue? It is fully stocked and not rooted. Thanks for the help

Possibly a app that u downloaded is waking it up or an update u did recently.

I'm having similar battery drain problems with my SGS2. My phone shuts down, like empty battery power, when I'm online for a few minutes or playing a game when in fact the battery still has more than 50% stored power. This started happening a few weeks ago. I didn't download or update any app before I noticed this "phenomenon".
Anyone has an idea what could be causing this battery drain? How can I resolve this?

Thee have been a few times where my battery drained overnight where it only usually goes down like 5-6%. Both times I run found out there was either a tower down nearby or they were doing work. Check an app like badass battery moniter, it gives you a rundown of apps and modem drain.

Download system panel and see what programs are eating up CPU and using data. Also consider Wi-Fi and data toggles they save a ton of battery and turning off background data. If your still have major drain issues hope got insurance...bring it down and get a new battery.

Hi everyone,
I got my Nexus 7, so I thought I could ease on the HOX a bit, but I found that something is still running rampant in the backgroundm but I can't find what it is, even using GSam Battery Monitor. Screen has only been on for 25 minutes, and already at 43%!
I used the HOX as mobile hotspot this morning in the train, when I arrived at work, it had 80% left. Rest of the day I only used it for the occasional whatsapp. It's not even closing time for work now, and it's close to 40%, so something is eating the battery, but I can;t find what!
See enclosed screenshots, I would love to hear some advice!
Kernel, but who knows why?
Also, your crappy mobile signal on the way to work when you had no WiFi... It didn't like that much.
yeah I can get into that, but I don't get why, at the last part, the screen isn't turned on, but it the kernel is switched on ALL the time, I guess something must be running rampant in the background. I've just started going to apps and force stopping a lot of things to be sure...
Try using watchdog, it tells you which app which above threshold, gsam never tells u what the kernel was upto. U can also try better battery stats and check kernel wake locks.
ViperX Goodness
Thanks, I hadn't heard of watchdog yet, installed it! I will buy better battery stats when things get really out of hand

better battery stats is available for free at XDA for members only.
Search and you will find it.
btw which rom and kernel??
Are you using a career branded phone. Change the radio. Problem solved

I use everything stock, and my HOX is unbranded

Does your freq stay always at 1500? Check it via setcpu or CPU tweaker. Check the time of state.

try the "go power" app, it helps. always recommend it to my friends
wow ur batt drain seems to be bad...is unrooted?
I have the latest update from videotron and since then the standby time is just horrible and its driving me nuts !!! I have the t99vvllh2 update and im kinda pissed :/
Anything that can be done !?
Thanks.

How about screenshots without the volume indicator? You can also try GSam Battery Monitor from the Play Store, to get a little more information on what is eating the battery.

Did you install any app after or before update? Main reason for all drain is from app.

What's your screen on time.
Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

Yesterday before i delete liteflow the android system was always ontop of the list but now it is at the very end i hope that it was simply that because i have way too many apps to delete and re install :/ but ill see how it goes today i got root and cwm so ill probably odin the lh2 as you suggested ..

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

3:30 screen on time it's good no matter how you use your phone. I got 2.45 hours on screen with 1day and 6 hours. I've had issues with liteflow and battery as well. Others say they don't, it seems to depend on how you set the phone and liteflow to work.

Battery doesn't show what apps are running
All my battery displays is Screen,Device Idle, and Wifi
It shows no other third party app that is running. This can only be temporarily fixed by rebooting my Note 2. Which then it happens again after full charging the device.
Is there a fix to this? I barely got it and it is bugging the crap out of me
Same here thought it was so weird

This happen to mine too.. when i turn off auto sync in Settings>Data Usage>Left menu then turn off Auto sync data.. But good in battery saving..
My Note 2 just started doing this as well. Settings> Battery and all it shows is the overall usage graph and Android OS 100%. If I click on Android OS it shows 298 days of usage. I tried deleting the batterystats.bin file/full charge/reboot etc but that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Fixed it.
Ran it down until it turned off/died.
Plugged in stock charger.
Once fully charged..green LED...powered on.
Booted into CWM from restart menu.
Wiped both caches.
Wiped battery stats.
Reboot.
Unplug from charger while at 100%.
Thought I followed these steps before but apparently I didn't.
Back to normal.

Hi,
So I had my phone charged overnight, went to work and after an hour the battery was around 96%...I flashed something via recovery, and the battery was at 100% after reboot...is that normal ???
Its just a battery glitch or you must have connected your mobile to your computer, which charged it in the process.
