Hello xdadev!
I was hoping someone may point me in the right direction (I have searched but have not found this particular issue in the forums).
After an 8-10 hour charge using my samsung wall AC adapter (1 amp) I unplug my phone and check email, send a few whatsapp/line messages, browse the internet on chrome. the very FIRST app I use causes huge battery drain. For example if the first thing I do after unplugging the phone is use whatsapp then whatsapp causes 70-80 percent battery drain over the next 15 minutes. As an example this morning I used whatsapp first on my phone, then chrome. Over the next 15 minutes my battery drained from 100 percent to 79 percent (in 15 minutes!). The phone also gets warm during this time. When I check my drainage whatsapp is at the top of the list next to screen and my screen is at the dimmest brightness.
The next part is variable. After about 15-20 minutes of constant use the rate of discharge changes to a slower rate. Easily can tell on better battery stats and the native battery monitor software. Sometimes I can curtail this super rapid discharge by force closing every app i start for the first time after unplugging the phone and restarting that app.
I don't know of any other i747 user who goes from 100 percent to 79 percent in 15 minutes. Would appreciate some insight!
Btw i'm rooted running CM 10.1.2 and here is a graphical representation:

EDIT - Update 8/17/2013 - rebooting into cwm and wiping the cache and dalvik cache appears to have improved the battery situation. Drainage is more reasonable.
With the phone idle now for the past hour I have gone from 75 to 55 percent battery. So in the less than two hours my phone has been unplugged it has drained about 50 percent battery. I dont' see a ton of wakelocks either. Now as time has passed you can see the INSANE battery drain when i first unplugged my phone.
Here are some relevant screenshots:
So what happens if u unplug at 100%, and then just leave the phone alone for a bit? Try greenify from the market, it's free and its awesome!!

I use greenify, and i agree it's awesome!!! I don't greenify whatsapp however because I wouldn't receive notifications when I get new messages.
If I leave the phone after I unplug it, sometimes it discharges at a slow rate, sometimes at a fast rate. It's tough to predict.
One thing i've noticed is if I charge it by usb port on my computer it seems to hold the charge better and I would never get this kind of spiked discharging.
Maybe it's a hardware issue?
I've had to charge it several times in the car today (and on a long drive as well) ... check out that loss of charge when I woke up today!
Yea, I'm kinda at a loss bro. Unless your phone/battery is older? Might be time to replace the battery and see if that does any good? Wish I could be of more help...
Clear cache and dalvic cache. Could be a Google app constantly chugging like maps or something.

from what I have heard, google apps can sometimes be very sneaky and hard to detect. its worth a shot
Turn off data if the drain stops you know its an app that's locked into using your data and causing high wake locks. Apps that show low to no data usage when you know you use them usually show up in android is as background for some reason. Ie (YouTube). Really just freeze one app at a time to test them

Take out your battery lay it on its side, if it spins like a top it's bad and needs replacing, seen many different samsung phones do that.
Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.

LOL a battery within a phone within a battery within a phone.
Interestingly, I booted into cwm and cleared cache and dalvik cache ... charged up back to 100 percent and now i'm 20 minutes in and at 98 percent ... I guess I have to do that every time i unplug?

Nah it might have just been a one time thing and you might have fixed whatever app was doing it. If it happens again. Redo the clearing. Slap that thanks button! And put a solution in op for future people!

Ok so I've been noticing that my battery life is just complete ****. Even with my 3G/4G radio turned off I can barely muster a full day, if that. So, I checked and saw that 68% of my battery life was going to Google+, so I turned off notifications and instant uploads on Google+ and did a reboot, checked my battery stats and it is still as seen below...How do I fix this?! Please help, thanks!

If you turned off those things then rebooted, it won't change what the battery status page shows.
That page is showing the percent of the battery each of the applications used of the battery that has already drained. It does not show currently what is draining or will be draining. The only way to check if you solved your issue is to charge back to 100% and drain back down, then check the stats and see where G+ is ranking on the battery drain chart.
Simply rebooting and waiting 10 minutes doesn't change the fact that Google+ drained 61% of the battery prior to the point where you rebooted, which will still be reflected in the battery usage stats.
Are you syncing google+?
Hey guys, so after I made those changes I have noticed a NIGHT AND DAY difference in battery life. I can actually make it more than 2 hours now without having to reach for the charger!
I am experiencing the same issue and was about to start a thread of my own. G+ was absolutely destroying my battery. I went from 100% to 67% in a couple of hours without even using my phone. I did similar to what you did except I uninstalled the app updates and now my battery is where it should be. I don't think it has anything to do with syncing. If you look at the attached photo you'll see that the amount of data used is next to nothing. For the amount of battery drain I'm seeing you would think it was trying to upload several 1080p videos.

Yeah that was something wrong with the app. Wonder if you could reinstall from the Market (or restore and clear cache/data) and it'd fix it?
I got that problem too, it was the sync of all photos and videos to g+
stop the instant upload, enjoy your battery life
I'd advise to disable auto sync...isn't that an elementary cause?

Just set it to only auto-upload while charging + on WiFi.
You guys are missing the point. While disabling sync will save battery life IF you are syncing constantly, its obvious from the amount of data that was used in my picture that syncing is not the issue but rather a super buggy app that is G+. Before I removed the updates from the app the battery drain with the screen off was nothing short of ridiculous. I was getting 4-5 hours of STANDBY from my phone before getting a battery warning.
P.S. at the time of my screenshot I had been on battery for 1 hour and 54 minutes which means I was losing approximately 15% per hour just to G+. My screen on time was 2 minutes and 4 seconds.

Exactly! I also uninstalled the app update then reinstalled it from the market and my battery life has completely improved. I also changed sync to only when plugged in.
I used to think that this was just how the G Nex was and that u literally had to plug your phone in every 3 hours, even if you werent using it. Thank god I was wrong
This is a bug in the Google+ app when instant upload is enabled. The app scans for pictures and gets stuck busylooping somewhere.
How to fix:
- Settings/Apps/Google+, select "Clear data" then "Force stop". Reconfigure the app.
How to detect:
- Install "OS Monitor" and check the Process list to see if Google+ is using too much CPU.
Yesterday as I started my day, i pulled my GN from its charger (99%) and made my journey to uni. The trip takes about 50 mins. For the past month now Ive been using poweramp and have had no problems. But when i got to class i realised i had like 25% power during my trip and the back of the GN was a bit warm. I closed all programs and the power drain stopped. I was a bit concerned so a few hours later when i tried playing music again on poweramp but nothing drained the power. So maybe it was a freak occurrence?
So I went to bed last night and the phone was fine. something around 80% power. I woke up 5 hours into my sleep to check on my phone (its a bad habit) and went back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. When i woke up i found my phone had discharged a whole lot of power again randomly in that space of a few hours.
So what the hell happened in that time?! All I did was turn the screen on and turned it off. My usage patterns have not changed.
here is an screen shot of my power usage. You can see the first drop of power, thats nothing of concern as i was playing angry birds space before bed. Then you see the straight line as the phone was idle while i was sleeping. The next drop is when I woke up to check my phone and that's when the discharging happens again. Then you see it recovering when i woke up and closed all the background apps in hope that it would stop the power drain..which it did.

No new apps, but some app updates. I know at least light flow was updated.
this random power discharge is really getting annoying. It happened again today.
A new symptom seems that the video doesnt load on the phone. for example, trying to load youtube or recorded videos saved on my phone.
Originally i thought my 3g was playing up but when it wouldnt load a video i recorded that was a bit unusual. in fact the gallery app froze and crashed.
Did you search the forum and install CPU Spy and Better Battery stats?
Get some data and find out what is causing wakelocks. Your phone has a lot of "wake" time.
See with CPU spy how much it is spending in Deep sleep and with Better Battery stats look what is preventing it from going into that state. If it's an app: simply remove it.
How's your signal service been lately? I get pretty stank reception at work so my gnex gets pretty warm at the top and battery life suffers. I just put it on airplane mode and reset the radio to force it to chill out for awhile

Thanks ill try that. Just installed CPU spy. Is there an alternative to better battery stats? Don't really want to fork out something to debug this.
I originally used OS monitor, and i checked what was running while the abnormal discharge was happening but nothing showed up.
You make a good point about the amount of wake time though. That long stretch where i was sleeping, my phone shouldnt be waking up that much should it? It didnt seem to affect battery life that much.

Better Battery Stats is the one I use and is recommended here a lot. It gives you insight in the wakelocks from the kernel, as well as from apps. Don't know about the alternatives. It's definately about the wakelocks. Your phone should be in Deep Sleep for 90% or so when you don't touch it (depending on your sync frequency off course).

The only account that is sync'ed is my gmail. The other two listed (twitter and dropbox) is turned off. Are there other options to turn the freq of when the phone syncs?
It's so strange because before these problems came about I had good battery life. ie: 3+hours of screen time.

You usually set it at System Settings, accounts & Synchronisation but some apps allow you to set it within the app... There are apps that allow you to make profiles so that, for instance at night, your device turns off all data. I used to use Juicedefender but that was IMHO more a placebo effect then a real improvement.
I definately think you should install the mentioned apps and after such drain re-appeared analyse what happened.
So after a little bit of troubleshooting I narrowed the problem down to Light Flow Lite.
Last night I went to bed with 100% charge. It discharged normally throughout the night until 4 hours in when I received an email. I woke up about an hour later and saw this so i suspected it was light flow. I cleared the notification and went back to sleep. I woke up about 30 mins later and was sad to see that my fears were confirmed. Battery discharge had settled down and was acting as normal. Just to be 100% sure though, i sent an email to myself to set off a notification and left it for another 30 mins, and as you can guess, the battery started draining excessively again.
Here is the screenshot. First part obviously is when im sleeping. then that dip is the email coming in. That TINY TINY dip upwards is another email coming in a min after I cleared the original email. So the battery drain continues until i wake up and clear it again. This time no more notifications came through and the battery drain settles down.
Again keep in mind that I have used Light Flow Light for 2 months now without problems.
Anyone else experience problems with Light flow or Light Flow light since it was updated on the 20th March?
I have been great with my light flow lite..I had a problem with my own battery when I updated Google chrome.. uninstalling that fixed my problem..

It would seem that after I installed the AT&T update to dumb down thr search on my phone, my battery life has been terrible. Yesterday it was down to about 30% after only 4 hours of light use with the processes "Android OS" and "Cell Standby" taking up the most battery. I can't even get through the day with this phone. Some help would be much appreciated.
After any update, give it a couple days to level out. Until then, just carry an extra charger and plug in when you can.
The update was installed at least a week ago.
In that case, backup everything and do a factory reset when you have a fully charged battery.
Alright I'll give it a shot. I needed to do that anyway as my clipboard no longer works and consistently crashes. :/
I did a factory reset a few weeks ago and that solved it for me.
Do you have any specific methods for backing up a phone that isn't rooted? I've got nova backed up, but I would like to make sure everything else is too.

Are you receiving push email? that was the major drainer for me. apparently the android email app has a bug.
Regarding clipboard...delete everything in data/clipboard; force close the 'test service' app and then restart your phone

The best method would be to use titanium backup but since your not rooted I don't know what options you have except to use the google backup but that ain't to good since its only app data.

Hi all,
Since getting the phone from day one, I really never had a problem with the battery. Lately however, I've noticed a significant drain in battery over night. I tested the drain a few times over several nights, and even put my phone into "airplane" mode to help save battery.
Below are my results from going to sleep at 1:30am with 100% battery power and in airplane mode and waking up at 9:30am the next morning. I get a 12% decrease in battery over night for doing nothing over the course of 8 hours.
The only thing I've noticed differently is that Chrome is starting to use battery which is odd because I rarely use Chrome to begin with.
Any ideas to help this? What should I do?

Are you using Songza? It has big problems right now with battery drain. The deal is, is probably not the device. There is an app that is causing your issue.

The tab yesterday got from 30% to complete 0% with everything off (aeroplane mode, sync off etc.) just laying on the desk.
In settings its shows that battery is drained only by Android process.
I was thinking about what might be the cause and just realised that it started to happen just affter purchase of original samsung case for this tab. Is it possible that it had impact on one of the processes? Cause CPU is active almost all the time despite neither app running in the background... Maybe it's due to the magnetic thingy which wakes the screen?

If the magnet is turning the tablet on, the screen would be on, and you can see that even with the cover of the case closed. So if you can see the screen if off, then I would say no, the magnet is not causing your drain problem.
Do you have Skype installed? This is a known battery drain problem on Kitkat as well. Its a bug within Kitkat itself, so maybe that is why its being reported as the Android process, and not one of your apps.

I also have never seen such a huge battery drain on any samsung or android device. For once, if you dont need it, go into settings and location services. Just disable it completly with that switch. This reduces the drain a lot, but is still way to high...
For me, it drains about 20% overnight with location on (completly offline) and about 10% without location services.
I have the same problem as well. It will continuously drain from 90-50 in minutes and then 50-15 and so on. 1% sometimes lasts for 30 minutes+ and when I restart it will be 15+% again. I thought it might be because of custom roms so I reset it back to stock many times and same problem. The only apps I have installed are adobe reader and es file manager.

I thought it might be because of custom roms so I reset it back to stock many times and same problem. The only apps I have installed are adobe reader and es file manager.

boy, you're digging out a two year old thread!!
if you have such a battery drain you have different (unsatisfying) choices:
1. try battery calibration or other roms
2. throw you tab away + buy a new one
3. buy a new battery
4. accept it (like me)
5. wait until someone brings an awesome new rom which will give an awesome battery life
(sorry for hidden sarcasm but this tablet is just a big disappointment (for me))
I don't think you should throw away devices or buy new batteries without first analyzing what the problem could be. If you are rooted, download an app such as Wakelock Detector and BetterBatteryStats first, make sure there isn't some rogue app or process that is constantly running in the background. Also, if you are running the 8.4 (or perhaps it also works with the 10.1 / 12.1), check out the link in my signature on how to reseat your battery. Many people have found success with all kinds of battery problems.
Hi there everybody
I've got a samsung a50 and have been seeing android system draining battery for 2 weeks
I've done factory reset and even flashed the whole firmware
But the issue is not gone
Disabled backup
Disabled sync
App preview messages
Cleared cache
Wiped data and cache google play services
What should i do?
Does anyone know why this happens? Currently on 21 percent of charge and android system consumed 18 percent. Is it normal?

It might be normal and it might be not, if your phone mostly idle and you are not doing anything on it there always has to be something to use the battery. And since you are not using it obviously Android system and other services running in background will have high percentage, but it doesnt mean it's abnormal. If you would use it heavily the percentage would be probably like 5-10%.
So it really depends what u have been doing on a phone and how long it has been idling. For example if you just leave it idle for few days and never use or turn on the screen it could be like 50% or more and it would be absolutely normal, u see what i mean?

I understand that but i have been using my phone and it has been idle a little time so i guessed there might be a problem.
Another thing is my phone is now showing learning usage patterns in battery stats because i reseted it a few days ago. Could it have anything to do with this drain?

Maybe, im not sure then sorry.
OK
So I checked my friend's device and he has got 19 percents for androud system. I think because the screen is removed in android 10 so it counts as screen, too.
Alright i managed to FIX this
Just i put my phone in charge overnight and it got fixed. I think it is because android system optimizes apps at that time. Now android system 0 PERCENT

Because its the stats since last full charge > 100% charge = 0% because its not off the batt.
If its apps that are draining the batt i think the best thing to do is reflash stock and go from there, if you've installed apps that you no longer use for example.
Turning on batt saving things, like auto screen brightness, make sure location/wifi is off when not in use, just try to limit how much power the system needs to function is always good practice.

I fixed the issue myself so no need for your help
