Well everynight before I go to sleep I charge my phone fully and unplug it before I sleep
Usually I would only lose about 1 % or 2% overnight
But this week I would lose over 60% over night! Its outragous!
I looked at what was killing my battery and "Cell Standby" and "Phone idle" were both over 45 - 49% !!
Anyway I can fix this problem??
Thank You

There may be some random issue with your nearby cell tower, causing the signal to be weaker than normal (particularly 3G). This might cause your phone to be constantly looking for the tower, and killing the battery. I've noticed this to happen at my house, although the difference in battery usage is not as severe as what you describe.
If you haven't changed anything on your phone, I would just leave it be for a few days and see if improve on their own.

As redpoint73 said .its probably because of weak 3g signals ,set your phone to "2g only"
overnight and see if it make any different. i dont think different radio will help ,different kernel might do .

Im Running GingerVillain 1.5 with Stock Radio
Its overclocked to 1.2ghz and has profiles with SetCPU
Wifi Only on When im using the phone
gps is off
Screen brightness is very low
only using 2G
this is very frustrating
Turn off data completely and see if it still drains. If that stops the drain, change your radio.
Remember you must be radio s-off to do that. Root with gfree (you'll need the cm 6.1.0 kernel or stock).

There's no good answer to that. What radio is the "best" varies by geographic location. The best way to find out is by trial and error, although the newest radio tends to be the best place to start. Some people seem to be having some decent luck with the latest AUS radio. But like I said, its all just trial and error. I remember on my last phone (Touch Pro 2) people sometimes reported better battery life and reception by flashing older radios.
EDIT: I just noticed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990860
Some people claim EXCESSIVE battery drain using the newest AUS radio, while others do not. So it still goes back to my statement that trial and error is your best bet.

Im running on GingerVillain 1.5 with stock radio as well
I don't use the profiles on setcpu, they're confusing and annoying. I don't even keep it overclocked much, only when I use my phone alot. When my phone is idle I set it back down to 806, sometimes even 700.
Wifi is on all the time when I am at home
GPS = on for me (at home)
screen brightness is like 40%
I keep 4g on all the time as well
At night, I keep my phone unplugged at 100% than the next day its at 99%
Ill use it for maybe 20 minutes and its at 90%. After about an hour and a half it goes to like 75% than ill put it back on standby for maybe an hour than its at like 73%
To sum it up, if its in standby, its fine
If im using it from 100% to 0% it lasts a good 3-5 hours depending on if im streaming vids, listening to music, and browsing the internet.
Im testing the waters with different settings and roms as of now..
GingerVillain is my favorite so far.

I have no idea why when my phone is on standby the battery dies pretty quick
It has pretty good life when I use it but when I don't the battery seems to die pretty quick
And my phone tells me that cell standby is always using aroun 40% of my battery and I just can't find a way to lower it

after updating my titan to 8107 the thing that manifested itself was the drastic reduction in battery life.i was getting 2 days easy out of the battery. tried shutting off wifi,bluetooth locations etc to no avail.reset etc nothing worked.after a full recharge i unplugged the phone tonight and it said 15 hours life left on a 100% battery.restored the phone to 7740 and immediately with the wifi back on etc i had 1 day 13 hours battery life left.the two things i noticed that i can do on 7740 i can't do on 8107 is turn off 3g and i live in an area of no 3g and the find my phone is disconected so i'll be sticking with 7740.
I am on unofficial 8107 pushed update. No issues as mentioned above. Easily at 25-27 hours with auto screen brightness and data sync.
Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
I appreciate you probably live in a 3g area which means your phone is not constantly looking for something that isn't there, but where I am in rural Scotland I only have 2g but atleast I now get 48hrs battery life again.
Do a hard reset. I have a Quantum, and after Mango the battery life was horrid. However last week I did a hard reset, and I'm back to showing 1 day 4 hours, etc on a full charge. And can now generally get through a day without having to charge my phone at work.
i noticed a reduction on battery too,mine says 18 hours just unplugged from fully charged, i'll try hard reset thing
---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------
after hard reset it says 1 day and 7 hours battery!! I hope it's true
do you guys realize that the time is just an average based on your use? If you hard reset, it gets reset. Doesn't effect how long it will last though. If you use your phone and play lots of games the 1st day and drain it, it will say 11 hours next time you charge it. But if you don't use it much the next it will say 13 or 14. it could last 18 or 2 days. It is showing what the estimated average based on your usage will be. Mine says 14 hours. Sometimes during the day it drops to 9 if i play a few games. then after it sits for a few hours it may say 17. After about 3 weeks or so though it gives you a true average based on how you usually use the phone.

Source?
I know if you're running music or streaming and you check it, the number changes. I figured it was based on what is in the memory or based on what's been happening just before you checked.
I do know that since my hard reset I'm getting longer battery life. Feels like 30% more.
I don't understand why they would compute all these useage averages, instead of just a true estimate as to how much power is left. What would be the benefit?
I always had the impression that the number of remaining hours is true if I continue to use the phone as I am doing right now. So when I am playing a game and it says 2 hours remaining and I stop playing the game and lock the screen, after two hours the phone will still have battery left etc.
Instead of a hard reset you can also try to run your battery completly empty and then charge it again to 100% to recalibrate it. I think recalibration of the battery has been helpful in the past after updates.
HTC Titan, updated from 7740 to 8107. I averaged 1 day of battery life with 7740, ever since updating and hard resetting, I now average 2.5 days. The problem is not with 8107, the problem is with your device stevov.

sorry mate as i explained on the other thread he device works fine.8107 is eating the battery due to the settings restrictions. phone works sweet as on 7740 and has never displayed any of the problems that the us titans have.phone works brilliant on 8107 also. just eats the battery. just incase you missed it i don't get 3g or edge where i am.

OK let's just continue this here (lol)
Your real issue is that you need to be able to turn off 3G, correct? It's 3G searching for a signal that kills your battery, not 8107. If your 3G toggle is missing after you update, see if you can use provxml on your device and apply the reg tweak for showing the 3G toggle option, then turn 3G off.
Here's the thread with the registry tweaks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971&highlight=3g+toggle
8107 should not cause any battery issues. it just a minor, very minor update..
Its not like going form nodo to mango
thanks for the replies guys. as someone who was just getting to grips with reg edit on my touchpro2 from what i've seen so far reg edit on 7.5 is not quite the same. i'm content in my own mind as to the cause and i'm happy with 7740.maybe the issue will get addressed down the line.

Stevov mate, the issue isn't with 8107. If your phone, any phone, any OS, any update - is going to keep looking for 3g or keep jumping between 2g/3g it keeps radio active, using up battery. You either need to just choose 2g, if you can or move to a 3g area (that's not happening, is it?). But if 7740 makes that radio a little calmer for you, perhaps its a placebo effect?
aye Drupad, Wee Bear over on wpcentral says i should move too.phone is happily running on 2g 12 hours off the charger everything on and 82% battery left.if there was just something like skyfire or operamini for browsing i would be a happy man but from what i hear thats not till ie10.in a world of 3 and 4g i live in 2g

He is right. I don't have a source but I've followed my battery status very carefully and came to the same conclusion. I have a friend with an LG C900 and he doesn't use data connection (which is what drains battery the most) and his estimated battery is 4 days and a few hours.

Yeah I haven't found documentation on this but as said above, if you follow your battery status you will see. Use the phone hard, check battery, it will say left. Let it sit for an hour, and it will say more. Now as the e
Weeks do by it will average out and not fluctuate as much. ( mine now usually says 13-14 hours on work days and 17 on weekends)

Interesting. I'm gonna have to check that out. But that's kind of odd, shouldn't it be the reverse? So like if you used your phone hard shouldn't it be optimizing itself so that you'll have more reserve versus the days you use the phone less?
Hi My Friends ,
when I use mobile data networking ( GSM & HSPA ) it drains so fast , cant i just go for edge , there is function for it in iphone , you can turn off or on 3g , is there any function in nexus ?
Because it drains so fast , it drains one percentile per a min , it means that battery drains in 2 hours
Google are you kidding us ?
Its not the data. Its probably what you're doing all together. Actively using data means that 1) the screen is on, which is the biggest drain and 2) the processor is actively running, which is the 2nd biggest drain.
If you want to switch to EDGE only, go to Settings > More... > Mobile networks > "Use only 2G networks"
You'll still get about the same battery drain because the screen will still be on, and the processor will still be working. Any savings you get from slower data will probably be wasted by keeping the screen on longer to complete the task.
I'm assuming you just got the phone? Use it regularly for a few days and stop watching your battery % and you'll be fine. Checking your battery just drains more battery...
Believe me i have been doing nothing , and it drains so much fast compared to HTC Sensation , my gf has a htc sensation and it also use 4g and we dont use it , and the result is HTC drains 2 % and mine ( galaxy nexus ) drains 17 % , we dont have any app under working , believe me this phone is the worst second thing ive ever had ( first one is Iphone 4s )

Why so resigned? maybe you have an app not playing nice and/or draining more on ICS than in a previous phone. I use my phone for heavy use and sometimes drop about 10-15% in an hour.

u know what , ive been using android for two years ( htc , samsung , lg ) and dont judge me as using this phone efficient , I have knowladge about computer and smartphone almost your age
uninstall all your apps.
check all settings of apps still on the phone.
and see if the battery is better.
often its an app that is using a lot of CPU or Data in the background causing it to never really sleep.
Maybe use CPUSpy to see if its the cpu which is causing the drain.

Looks like you might want to go back to the drawing board and spend another 2 years trying to learn Android. Surely with your vast knowledge of smartphones and computers you would have figured out the problem by now. Hint: It's you. Damn, well I gave you the answer.
In all seriousness, you are the reason for the problem. You control the apps installed. You control the permissions these apps are allowed to have. It is your job to monitor activity and make sure none are misbehaving. Don't blame Samsung, Google, or anyone else.

Antennas
Wifi
Consumes more energy per time when trasmitting than mobile data, BUT...
Takes less time to transmit data, espescially large files, so it consumes overall less energy.
Wifi scans for a connection and pings the router less often than mobile data, thus consuming less energy at idle
Bluetooth
Consumes a small amount of power at idle to connect to new devices
Scanning for deveices consumes more energy
While connected, very little energy is consumed unless data is transmitted.
GPS
Unless an application specifically invokes the GPS antenna, it will not consume power
Using constant GPS updates (as in Navigation apps) will consume a large amount of power
Some apps will have bugs in them which will keep GPS on indefinitely. Try reinstalling those applications first, then remove if necessary.
Mobile Data
2G antennas consume the LEAST amount of energy at idle, but because they take so long to trasmit data, they can kill your battery.
3G antennas are Ok at idle, but take less time to transmit data, so are the best all around for traveling around metropilitan areas.
4G Antennas are FAST, but consume the most power. Best to leave these off when in transit, and used for stationary, stable connections
All Antennas consume much more power idling in areas of bad reception. So if you know you're going somewhere with poor reception, and don't need data, turn it off until needed (Settings->Wireless&Networks ->More ->Mobile Networks-> "Data Enabled"; "Data Roming" OFF; "Use Only 2G Networks"
This is from the guide to galaxy nexus battery life

I never turn off Wifi, H+, 3G or GPS. Sometimes I forget to turn off Bluetooth after I get out of my car and just leave it on for the heck of it, that while a blue LED is blinking on all the time to notify me Bluetooth is on. It would still last me the 6-8 hours i'm away from home with regular usage of browsing, checking mail, messaging and stuff until I get back, and even then it would still have some power in it. Lasting only two hours means something is wrong and I doubt it's the data networking. Check background services and widgets refresh intervals.

Wasn't trolling, only saying that I think that the data connection is draining battery as I'm getting 6hrs screen time browsing with 50% brightness against 2-2.5hours of data browsing with 25% brightness. So, I think there IS a problem other than the screen that maybe someone has the answer to...

Hi all,
Now, I've never gotten great battery life (combination of screen on time and idle) with any phone. I don't use them all that much apart from bursts and my OnePlus 3 would get me 3 hours SoT tops within 24 hours before I need to charge again.
However since Nougat I'm struggling to get even 1 hour SoT.
I'm using Bluetooth, NFC, both SIMS and nothing else untoward. This is the same as pre-Nougat.
Anyone else seen their battery life die since the update
Try to use 1 sim. I have 3:30 sot for both sims. And 7 for 1 sim.

Hey Konvict
Can you answer these questions then please?
How long a period of time is that 5-6 hours of SoT over? 24 hours of standby?
What radios and apps do you have running that might eat battery?

I would say about 24 hours....i normally charge my phone at the end of the day when i have about 40-55 percent battery left but even then i usually have goften 2:30- 3 hrs screen on time depending on the day. I will attach a screenshot of my battery today and maybe u can take a look at it.
Actually today this nougat looks very good.
I'm getting awesome batter life.
First two pics from OOS 4.0
Last two pics from OOS 4.0.1
You both seem to be using both WiFi and multiple SIMs - strange then.
I can't use GSAM as I don't have root and Nougat stops the app by app recording of battery use for third parties, otherwise I could see what was happening.
I do have a number of email accounts, and messenger apps, but these sit dormant most of the day (i have no friends obviously lol)
Hmm, maybe a wipe IS needed.
You guys got a great battery life, I got 2:30 in my good days, never above it!
However, someone told me to switch Doze off from developer options, I just did that and I'm currently charging my device, will see if it do any good by the end of today "fingers crossed"
PS. I'm using Freedom OS 2.0 with clean install + using Bluetooth and 2 SIM (one for calls and the other for data)
I'm also noticing a big drop in battery life after switching from marshmallow to nougat on my OP3T. Cleared cache & did factory reset, as I always do. All apps and settings the same, and usage the same. Drain seems to be extreme, not sure what's going on. The battery life was AMAZING on marshmallow... kind of regretting switching now

Go back to the previous versions of Facebook and Messenger. These two have been draining battery like hell for sometime now.
EDIT: Try SuperSU 2.79 final.
So I bought this phon about 3 weeks ago.
One of the primary reasons was the battery life since I'm not usually near a power supply.
But I've been struggling to get past 5 hours of screen on time on light to medium use.
Standby time is great though. No battery drain, but the moment I start using it, it starts tanking and like 1% every 3mins or so. I struggle to get a full day of use.
I'm running the May uodate, I updated while it was new so I don't know the performance before the update.
I've already reset once and wiped cache. Even in safe mode battery is still weak.
I need help fixing this.

Is your mobile signal good? I assumed you use mobile data not wifi

It's decent 3G. Usually 3 bars when I'm at home, 4G at work but I use wi-fi there.
I wake up around 5am and by the time I leave at around 7 I'll be at around 80%. After just reading articles and scheming through social media
Right now I've been browsing Reddit and Tapatalk for the past 30mins and I'm already down 7% brightness is at minimum and I'm on 3G

I have now after 9 hours where I played the last 2,5 hours music and now 55%. Screen on time is 2 hours
yes battery life is not good for 4000 mah .for exemple redmi note 7 with same 4000 mah get way more battery life than a50 . for me i get 7 to 8 hours sot mixed wifi and 3g in one day ( 18 hours to be exact) .it drain 10 % in 9 hours when screen off .samsung need to improve battery life in future updates
Here's a quick tip
Samsung devices tend to drain a lot of battery because of app background usage
try to put apps to sleep ( apps that you need them only when you open them)
Also activate medium power saving if you need more battery
With normal use am getting around 9-10 and sometimes 11 SOT
With games and heavy use i get 6-7 SOT
all of this without any power saving option .
I debloted and now getting almost 9 hours of sot on normal usage on 4g always and dual sim on.. I mainly use for watching videos on youtube. Chatting telegram and whatsapp and calls 1 hour per day

How was the battery life before debloat. My phone didn't come with that much bloatware. It's not the Indian version and still on May update and there's virtually no stand by drain. Battery is significantly worse when using 3G
