[Q] fast battery drain on 3G/4G network - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello,
I am experiencing fast battery drain on 3G/4G Sprint network.
I recently flashed my Epic 4G Touch to Calkulin's ROM.
Any suggestions on how to slow down this battery drain?
Thank you in advance.

Turn 4G off when not using it... It will murder your battery, also try ComaDose (XDA E4GT Android Development) or Greenify or DS Battery Saver from the Play Store (I use all three)

Hey bud. Wait, did you say you're on Calkulin's ICS ROM? Brings out the nostalgic feelings in me... do what the other two said, but also update profile & prl. Usually folks on this device only roll back to one of the legendary Calkulin Classics these days to get good, long battery life, and it's usually not the ICS build they head to, so... hopefully ones of these things will tidy that up for you (i.e. Greenify, DS Battery Saver); Calkulin's ROMs have useful scripts already there for CPU states and stuff... Cheers. :good:

I'm using Llama to automate some settings to lessen the battery drain. Display (screen brightness) seems to have been the biggest culprit.

High android system usage at 20%.

I usually get android system usage at 1%, hence im freaking out. Help please! Could it be because i use vipernod, v6 supercharged and savagezen kernel?

I would say it could be any number of things, however the question is, what have you changed recently? Any updates, new apps?
Also, with this increase have you seen any decrease in your battery usage? I will have 70+% android usage sometimes but battery doesn't drain any faster. This is a normal thing for AOSP especially. Someone noted that they had high A.S. usage on a stock Nexus 4g.
This may just go away with a days usage, but be sure to check for partial wakelock. This option is in Spare Parts app not sure if its built in to MIUI. The wake lock is what kills your phone, when an app goes bonkers and keeps your phone awake.

True. Miui has updates every Friday. So yeah, i updates last Friday. I switched from tiamat to savagezen just so i can fix the high usage but to no avail. I can't check battery partial lock because miui has battery stats issues right now.

In addition to what imheroldman stated, charging your device will oftentimes cause your android system usage to spike, but 20% is nothing to be concerned with.

Battery annihilation

Sooooo a few days after having the greatest day in battery history, my device decided to go the polar opposites and NOW SUCKS BALLS!
I will post battery stats pics later but to give an example; my battery is now at 39% almost no use and only being idle for 5hrs. Also after a full night of charging my phone would only be at 88%. I keep my display at zero and my wallpaper is solid black. I am currently running the Blend 2.6.2 and have been for a while with no issue.
The only thing strange prior to the issue was I tried flashing the new hitman kernel and it was a mess. I tried via cwm and Odin and both failed. I then went back to stock and started over and all is normal...save this battery nightmare.
I previously did not wipe battery stats due to the controversy surrounding it but decided to let it die, fully charge, and wipe b stats. The result is the same. Today I did get a full 100% charge but a meer 5hrs. later....39%.

What bugs me is I like BLEND and I did reinstall it and the problem was still there. I guess blend suddenly hates my device.

Large battery Drain after newest update

So a month ago I upgraded my epic 4g touch to stock rooted most current official release, and flashed the newest clock work mod... Not sure what kernel. And anyhow, after flashing it, basically my battery dropped in more than half.. After an hour of it sitting around I drop 30%. I even have greenify keeping my apps hibernated. Since I'm use to the s3, I'm not sure what to do.. Do I just flash a new kernel or what? Yes I did search and got nothing about battery drain after flashing an update.

Those are all common sense and app suggestions... This isn't an issue to be fixed with an app.. It's something going on.. Maybe the kernel

Most likely an app causing wakelocks that isn't allowing your phone to sleep. Look in Settings/About Phone to see what kernel you flashed.
I believe that your power drain issues are related to mine. Sometime in the last two months I found my battery draining about twice as fast. Upon investigation i found that nlpcollector was the culprit (google location services). After turning off google location services I found that my battery life went back to normal. I understand that this isn't an ideal fix, but hopefully it is temporary and google fixes nlpcollector so it isn't doing wakelocks like crazy.

Battery dies at 14% anybody have the same problem?

I have an GS3 Sprint SPH-L710 using liquid smooth ROM, my battery life don't really last me all day, but whenever my phone is getting to 19-14% it goes completely dead, have anybody had/has the same problem and know a solution for it?

Yep. Use a Touchwiz ROM. Or if your attached to the ROM try using a battery calibrator.

I thought battery calibrating was a myth haha .
I had this problem before as well and switching OS's between TW and AOSP didn't help.
If your screen is flickering at around 15% and then your device cuts out, it also indicates the battery is gone for good.
I'd suggest getting a new OEM battery or go for a third party company like Gorilla Gadgets or iAnker Tech.
But flashing a TW ROM is other worth your shot as well if it'll fix it

Battery drain with Note 4 (sprint) N910p

Just like the other poster I just got a Note 4 running kitkat (unrooted) and the battery is draining like crazy!
I want to get this phone rooted, but I am wondering if I should update my software to Marshmallow (or Lollipop) before rooting? What would be better for battery and overall performance of the phone? Battery is my biggest concern... is there anything I can do to the phone once it's rooted to extend battery life? Will upgrading to either of the firmware versions lock the bootloader so that it is no longer rootable?
Any help would be appreciated!
Confused,
me
This thread may answer a lot of your upgrade questions.

As far as battery, I think you'll do better with any ROM that has ItsOn removed.
IIRC, ItsOn wasn't activated while Note 4 was officially on KitKat. KitKat offered the best battery stats during that time as well. I haven't duplicated my best KitKat battery stats but came close with Lollipop Moar 2.1b with Beastmode kernel. I've recently hit a new high on Marshmallow PG1 update with Beastmode kernel.
Really think it's Google apps that are becoming more battery intensive than that era. So it may not be so much KitKat but applications and limitations thereof that factor into battery stats.
These stats are uncharacteristic for this phone but reachable if limiting streaming and mostly browsing with Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi Calling. I do have some optimizations in place that root makes possible.
