Hi, I have included the battery usage here. everything looks normal, but there are times when "home" and "system UI" is also shown as using 2% or 3% of battery. The battery gets heated up and it drains even when im not using the phone. My home screen wallpaper was the default wallpaper then i changed it to my choice. A while after that, it changed by itself to the default one. I suspect there's some virus or malware running in the background...I tried using different kinds of anti virus to detect if theres any virus or malware, but all the anti virus apps didnt find any virus and said my phone is clean. like i mentioned earlier, i have already hard reset the phone 3-4 times already...but its still the same, the battery gets heated up and the battery drains like hell when im not using it....any suggestions??

The second screen shot shows "home" and "system UI" using part of the battery percentage. Ive not seen "home" and "system UI" shown using battery before this when i was using the phone for the first two weeks.

Hi dude
I had same problem!
try a factory reset your problem will be solved!
your device cant enter standby so use many charges!
I tested in a g pro e988 that drain every night 40percent of charge without use, so its solved!
backup your data and try factory reset!
try it i hope help you!

try wakelock detector. your phone does not go to sleep. with wakelock detector you can see what app is the REAL cuprit and close it.

[Q] S3 Battery Drain after Jelly Bean

So I searched all day for an answer similar to mine and I did not see what I could do.
I was on rooted on ICS until this weekend when I updated to Jelly Bean and rooted again.
My Battery usage was working fine in ICS, what I would call normal battery drain.
After the update I am getting terrible battery use!!!!
I have tried closing, diabling all apps, radios, I have diabled bloatware.
But my battery keeps draining at a rate of 10% and hour!
All this with minor use.
I have opened a few apps and the Play Store but nothing else.
The S3 has just be inJust in standby.
In the settings, under battery it show my main power consumption is the SCREEN at 60%
I dont know how!
When the screen is off, I dont have a video wallaper and when I do power up the screen its so DIM I can hardley see anything.
All this happened after the Jelly Bean update!
Any idea on what I can do?
Do you think a factor restore would help?
Yes, back your dat up first though (contacts, calender, ect.) because you will have to redownload your apps. I did a reset and was on stock after updating but still had terrible battery life. The fix? Take the battery out 40 minutes, put it back in and run it COMPLETELY dead, and recharge it while it's turned off. Make sure you have time to do this without needing the phone because it takes a while. Like 7-8 hours. I've went a day now without much usage at all (still at 90% charge) and have a day left on standby. The battery reset helped more than anything I believe.
Yep same as mine jb update has a heavy battery drain..and my skyvalex callrecorder stopped working..i just flash back to ICS.

My opinion, factory wipe and Re-root it.
Install SetCPU and the Ktoonsez kernal to manage the power settings. Also Go Power Master is a good app to tweak power settings.
In SetCPU you can have it clocked down when the screen it off.
Had the same problem. Called att went through the ranks until I was told by att warranty supervisor that they had no work around and I should root my phone. Shocking they told me that. But I found the problem. I uninstalled the update to Google now and then shut it down. Battery seams to be doing good now.
Got a free battery from att though. I guess cause there higher ups have no idea how to fix drain.

Luckily your type of phone has a removable battery....unlike me...cannot replace to a higher battery capacity

Semi-solved
I somewhat have solved my problem.
What I did was Factory Reset from the Setting menu. I thought I would have lost Root doing this.
It was already set in my mind to just wipe the S3 clean and start over but the root did not get washed out.
So, I used Kies to only restore my contacts.
Instead of having any old apps restored I downloaded them all over again from the Play Store.
So far so good!!
I have better battery life than prior to the reset.
I had been losing 8% and hour in Standby and 10%+ when in use.
So far today I have used the phone with my screen brightness high, made about 10 calls, surfed youtube and I only down 6% in the last 2 hours.
I consider that better.
If there are some things I can add to my diable list that you all know of to give me an EVEN BETTER result please let me know!
Poor battery life here too. Battery settings says screen is eating 78% and Maps eating 10%. I'm a heavy user but its mostly surfing this site and Facebook. I don't play games or watch YouTube much
Does this solve the battery drain issue?
Hiya all.
I haven't got a S3 so I can't confirm this works.....
A friend was having the same battery drain issue and I was going through his settings and noticed that "Sync All" was on.
Turned it off and the battery drain stopped. We think.
It seems to easy to be true. So I'd like more S3 owners to try.

Hi have the lte version that i got couple of days back and i have the same problem. I have not rooted and it came stock with jb. So you have to do a factory reset and remove the battery and try or just the battery?
Also how to remove some stock apps, I don't use any.
My battery life stinks. I had to get the Mophie case with extra battery built in. works great

Solution for overnight battery drain.. Tested and working!!!

Whats up guys.. I have a one x and my battery just drains when i go to sleep... Around 20-23 percent.. Even with power saver on and all toggles off.. I tried many apps just to prevent this and still its the same result.. I heard about this app and i just want to share it to you.. Battery drain is down to 4-5 percent within a 10 hour period.. Thats just great!!! App is called Greenify and it hibernates your apps than drains battery.. Have a try and let me know.. Support the dev as well.. Cheerios!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Been using this for a while and it works well. Just understand what your 'greenifying' so you don't think apps are broken as a result.

Does your battery drain even with screen off at night too bro?
Thanks for sharing, this is sort of stuff I looking for
Anyway, I prefer to solve the problem without this kinda application first, I'll try it once I'm at dead end

Not hugely like yours but I use it among other things to get a good full day use out of my phone without limping towards end of the day.
I would use gsam to identify the app drain at night and greenify to help if you can't stop it with the app settings or a fresh install.
Sent from my HTC One X
I used wake lock and saw google maps draining so much of my battery and I disabled it and so far 4 days battery is good... I mean it doesn't drain. Hope it works.
I use this Greenify with Deep Sleep battery saver at night, Wifi drains alot of unnecessary power in the night, deep sleep turns on wifi and sync every X hours. Managed to get 1 day and 11 hours with total of 3 hours screen time(i use my phone as a PDA not as a high performance device)

Rapid Battery Drain - How can I improve?

My battery seems to be draining quite fast. I have removed a lot of bloatware, but I'm not getting the type of performance that others are getting.
It has lost 70% in 5 hours just doing a little browsing, watching a 20minute video and playing a game for half an hour. This was with Wifi on, and mobile data switched off, and background data switched off too.
I've had the device for a week now and I've charged it every day.
Any Ideas on how to improve it?

Could well be your brightness level? Are you using autobrightness or is it on a fixed level (I hope its not fixed at 100%!)
If you use autobrightness try using an app like LUX auto brightness instead.

Thanks for that, I did have it on Auto brightness for the first few days, but the last few days I switched it off just in case it was that, but the problem remained. I will try LUX auto as you suggested.

My guess is a corrupted media file somewhere which is causing your media server to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep. When you go to settings , battery, is media the no 1 juice sucker?

Yeah I got rid of the radio and media player from one of the homescreens as they showed quite heavily in wake up time. but the battery still kept draining fast.

I wouldn't mind, but I just bought it 8 days ago, people are experiencing a lot longer battery life than I can.
Immediately just played a game and look how much has gone.
Why is Android system using up so much? I've even got location switched off and Google search etc. is deleted.
If 're not using Xposed Frameowrk for tweaks, looking into enabling ART - I did that and my battery life has been impressive.

I did try that, but it didn't work and the phone was a bit laggy. Why would android system take up 15% of whatever the battery uses? I'm getting so frustrated, I might do a factory reset.
Here is the picture of what is being used, down 40% in such a short time. :

Aosed to make things smoother not laggy
Sounds like you have something eating up massive resources.

Must be, but I don't have any idea what it is:
Here is a screenshot a few minutes after the last screenshot - another 10% down, and I watched a 8 minute video:

How long has that screen been on for?
A shot in the dark:
Do you skype? Skype was draining the battery down in the Nexus 7 2013 even when you were not using it. I disabled it and the battery improved greatly.
Another option:
It sounds to me that there's an app that is draining the battery down a whole lot. I would try to isolate that app (by deleting each one you downloaded one at a time) until you have found it.

I don't have skype, but I like your idea - I've gotten rid of almost all the bloatware stuff. What I think I'll do now is charge it to max. DO a factory reset and not allow Google to start downloading all my apps again.
Funny thing though - when I charged it last night and unplugged it for 3 hours it only dropped a couple of percent. It started dying rapidly after I opened up a few other apps.
What I'll do now is charge do a factory reset, then switch it off, then charge to max before turning it on again. When I first got it, it turned on as soon as I plugged it in. did the same happen for everyone?
What you might want to do is download Greenify on the play store. This will tell you what apps are running in the background and then it will turn them off (hibernate).

Make sure that you leave the battery charging for about 10-15 minutes more after your cradle light turns green. Sometimes the battery isn't fully charged despite the cradle light turning green. 30 minutes on a game shouldn't be using that much battery consumption.
I usually get about 10-12 hours or more on each of my batteries ( video calling, chatting, games and my 4g is turned on 90% of the time
Try this from Google Play

You can read their reviews and install the app but don't download too many battery monitor apps Keep us posted after a few days of monitoring Good luck :good:

Battery Draining by Android OS

Hey all, I've had this phone for a while now and I've been loving the performance and the battery life.
But since yesterday a problem came up. Normally i get around 8-11 hours of Screen on time. Now some "Android OS" is draining the battery real fast like it's cutting it down to 5 hours screen on time with the same amount of usage.
I've tried closing the apps, doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Just to back up the post, Its not android system. That's different and it doesn't consume battery this much. It's something called "Android OS" and its running continuously off screen as well.
It's also using a lot of RAM :/

No xD i fixed it deleted all the apps. Didn't know which one was problematic but it seems to have fixed the problem. I'm actually getting double battery life now xD
My poor MZP has suddenly started showing a dramatic drop in performance and battery life. I suspect this is because of Magisto which had a setting that automatically uploads videos / photos to create movies. I've disabled this now and hope to see an improvement.
I've also deleted all apps that were very aggressive with notifications - The Domino's India app was the worst offender.
Hopefully this will make a difference.

Battery draining issuein Realme X

I brought this phone on first sale.
On 3-4 days of usage I realized that the battery is draining too fast on standby mode.
When I checked the battery usage following two apps keep on running 24hrs in background:
1.Google Play Services
2.OppoDolbyService
They almost consume 30% battery in background each.
I could find no way of stopping these apps.
When I sleep with 14% battery at night I always find my phone switched off in the morning.
Kindly help.
Doesn't happen in mine...
Last night it fell by 1 or 2% overnight (about 6 hours).
But then, I'm very careful about what apps I download.
Try clearing the cache of those misbehaving apps.
Good luck

Same issue here. Got my device just yesterday. Battery drain overnight was about 13%. If this is the condition now then what if when the device is older. I do have a lot of apps installed and 3 apps can auto start (else they wont work as they are messaging apps, right? ), so should I disable them as well ?

Update : So I disabled all sorts of vibration, fingerprint wake on movement detection, double tap screen on, basically disabled all sorts of sensor function, and I personally don't like the animations in these Chinese roms so I disabled that as well, phone feels snappier, Sleep mode is on, auto start apps is off for all. So after all this battery backup is great now, overnight drain is also 2-3% max. So all good.
