Any other g2 users having major battery issues? Sprint g2, some apps and bloatware frozen/removed. Rooted as well. Battery dropped 38 percent in 4 hours with little to no use. Location services are off. Shows that android operating system using around 40 percent. Any idea of what is causing this? So far, not loving the update and the issues its having.
Absolutely not... Quite the opposite. I'm on a custom ROM but I used ZV7 ZV8 & ZVA before with no issues. That's one great thing about the G2 is the Snap Dragon processors are great on the battery, a charge lasts a long time and the battery never gets hot even with constant tethering and heavy usage. You should try the Snap Dragon battery guru app in the play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app which is great for saving juice. Or takes a couple days to get full effect cause it learns your patterns and stops apps from refreshing during times when you don't use them, cuts of WiFi and or data during times when you aren't using it. Also I'd check your battery usage stats and see what processes are draining it the most. Is most likely an app or 2 draining a lot of your battery, so the battery guru will stop that from happening during times that you don't use those apps.

Its very common after a firmware update for a battery to go outta whack. It may be that you need to recalibrate it. After any firmware update its adviseable to so a factory reset at 100% battery level. Then use your phone normally till the battery dies and phone shuts down. Plug in the phone and let it charge to 100% while off. Turn it on, and use it till the batt dies again. Repeat charging to 100% with phone off.
That may solve your issue. Fully cycle the battery 2x.

Thank you @bigpoppa and @sudosurootdev I will try both suggestions. I've got snapdragon app downloaded now. Haven't did a full cycle charge on it yet though. Normally had great battery life, even on aosp roms. Could be that I am just impatient too though haha.
Battery life is greatly affected by weak signals. It drives up the power to get you signal

My signal has actually been a great deal weaker since the update. I live in an.area where there is only 3g/1x data. Used to get around 1.8 mbps download...now only getting around 600kbps. Pretty much just sucks.

I got the ZVC OTA, then I flashed the zvc .tot after accidently deleting supporting services for voice mail (Skyfire Observer and Sprint Extension provider) after flashing Im at 7hrs 30mins Screen Time surfing web with 15% battery left on first day, before that I got little over 6hrs with 0% battery and all the same apps. Do a factory reset after OTA that might help or flash the ZVC.tot for a complete fresh install like I did.
Just an FYI Swype connect is a known battery killer for some its mentioned on their forums and it sometimes runs even when all connect features are blocked.
Another thing block location services when not needed it will save a nice amount of battery life.

I think its a problem with 4.4.2, google is fixing that in 4.4.3. Also make sure Sprint Connections Optimizer is really off.
The only issue I've seen is Bluetooth showing up under battery stats as being used at around 50-55% yesterday with a runtime of over a day. I'm thinking its just a reporting bug since I haven't used Bluetooth at all and I don't see a noticeable drop in battery but if it is using it I'd definitely like to curb it.

I get 7.5 hrs and 15% battery left at 50% Brightness, location and autosync drain battery a lot as I mentioned before. Also use task manager to autoblock Sprint apps and uncheck Sprint Connections Optimizer it eats battery, Lastly Swype connect runs even when online features are disabled and eats battery, there are many complaints about that on Swype forum as well.
Im mostly on WiFI and have full signal due to Airave (no LTE) so I guess that helps too. All those things add up, I'm sure you can achieve that screen time as well.
By factory reset, do you guys mean in settings? I need to reset, but I don't have a computer at the moment so I can't reflash tot.

Okay, so I am getting pretty bad battery drain whenever I use my phone. The phone goes into deep sleep just fine, and wakelocks don't seem to be an issue. Whenever I use any app though, the battery drains very quickly. Now obviously using the device will make the battery drain faster than it would when it's asleep, but I'm talking about losing 2-3% with only playing 2 minutes of Scrabble or checking a news feed for less than 3 minutes. My screen is on half brightness, but it's only been a week since this has really been noticeable.
I'm not sure if my battery is getting worse or something (although I try to not overcharge it and let it get to around 50% which I don't see why that would be an issue) or this is just an illusion and it's been happening the whole time.
Has anyone found any solutions or ideas to help conserve battery?
I'm stock, nonrooted, running the latest update. I never have any sync or push notifications active. I keep NFC on but I've had that on since day 1 and didn't seem to be an issue before. I restrict background data for the Play Store (tried that yesterday but didn't seem to help much), brightness is always around halfway, and I am using JuiceDefender pro. I have the Amazon App Store installed which I've considered to be an issue, but haven't seen many people complain about it recently and it doesn't seem to report anything on BetterBatteryStats.
Bump? =\
I've been experiencing the same problem as you recently. I'm going to backup and format EVERYTHING and odin back to stock and see if that'll help.
I have a feeling it has something to do with my SD card.

Hmm I didn't think of that. I have an SD card as well but I've had it for quite a while so I'm not positive if that's causing it.
Tell me if ODINing it back to stock actually does something. I believe that the battery itself may be causing the issues though, but I'm not sure.
...So there's only one other person which these issues? What am I doing wrong?
I hate to keep bumping this thread but I am literally only getting 3 hours of screen on time when I'm on airplane mode and am at 20% brightness.

For the moment, my battery seems to be doing better. The only reason I wiped out my SD card was because my phone started getting hot at the bottom when listening to music from my 32GB SD card, so I thought it was some sort of corrupt file my phone kept trying to read and drained the battery

Sounds like something is eating up your battery. Try downloading BetterBatteryStats app. Fully charge the phone, unplug it and leave it for a while (about 1 hour). Then open the app to see what exactly is eating up your battery. You could post the BBS screenshots so we could help. Hope it works out for you.
EDIT: Besides that, you should post more info. Were you using the phone (playing games, browsing, videos) during those 3 hours or it was idle?
I noticed the same thing happening to me once, it turned out to be picasa trying to sync, using my google ID, but I don't use picasa. I was seeing 50-60% drain in four hours while idle. Check your sync settings.
When it happened it showed android system was using over 60%, battery.
I was having this issue. I could charge my phone to 100% unplug and go to sleep and 8 hours later it would be at like 10% i tried everything i mean everything even tried airplane mode it still drained. Put a custom jelly bean rom on it. Now my battery lasts all day. I just cant wait for

For me battery has been great but a few times i noticed its gets very hot and when i checked the CPU both cores were lit up at max speed draining my battery, after some googling a found this thread which explains the gsiff daemon is the culprit after a hot reboot.
No one has found what the gsiff daemon is for or what causes the ho reboot, but the solution is just use root explorer and rename the daemon so it does not run.
Have all of you having trouble with battery drain still tried looking at the term "deep sleep"? You can check that with an app called cpu spy. If your having that issue with the phone not deep sleeping, report back and i will post some ideas.
With those who do say they have deep sleep issues, post the ROM, and kernel you are on.

so lately i noticed my battery dieing super fast. the only thing i can think of it since att expanded lte in my area i basically get lte everywhere now and since then my cell standby is at 60% or higher my phone lasts about 6 to 8 hours now its very annoying... before lte it lasted a ton longer it could be a coincidence but its very frustrating if this is the cause because its pretty ridiculous
Post some screenshots of the battery so we can see more of what's going on.
If you flashed multiple ROMs on low battery then you may need to recalibrate. I did it with my GS3 and I wish I would have known about it when I had the S and S2. Download the BatteryCalibration app from the market and follow the instructions on it. I noticed I was losing battery life bad, but after this I got it back up to stock levels which is amazing.

I have faced the similar issue as your. After 3 days of constant inspection with various apps I figured out the process causing this problem.
Go to developer options and click on show cpu usage. If the top process is "gsiff daemon" then you have found the culprit. Download system tuner and kill the process and you can see that the cpu usage will go back to normal and your phone will deep sleep afterwards. :angel:
A few days ago I decided to try out ktoon's kernel. I was getting horrible battery life and there is a distinct possibility I did not give it enough time to settle as some have said. One person suggested I get Better Battery Stats, but at the paid app part, I didn't bother and went back to stock kernel.
Since then I have found the thread here and installed it to see what was going on. Fully charged battery unplugged and left idle.. When I woke up I had 8 hours of time on the battery and 92% left.. I was happy with this... A quick game of Angry Birds Star Wars later, and I am down to 88%... Now it has been an hour and a few random things later (Angry Birds Seasons, uninstalling bloat via titanium backup) and I am down to 78%.. 10% gone in an hour?
I am just a bit on the very confused side. I was getting 18 hours or so of decently heavy use prior to flashing a custom kernel. Now, I could just be checking my phone more and not noticing it and causing some bias here, but I am at a loss. One member seems to think I have a hardware problem causing my battery drain and that I should replace my device, but I figure it doesn't hurt to seek a second opinion.
As for the ROM I am on, it is just the stock LJ7 with a few theme tweaks I have done and removed some bloat.
Perhaps I am just looking too deep assuming something is wrong..
EDIT: I just followed a tip by Naddict to stop Google Maps from reporting anything.. Hopefully that helps a bit..
Same I think I get good battery life randomly like for instance any ROM or kernel I try I get random battery life sometimes 10+ hours sometimes 7 or less and I do my best at optimizing my phone to save battery I switch brightness to zero no sync at all juice defender ultimate was also tried lol

Could you post kernel alarms. I mentioned the potential for SD issues basically it works this way. You have cached information that doesn't get wiped the program accesses it and basically because for instance the ktoonsez kernel contains newer linaro or the fact it's based on 4.12 those small difference make the cache potentially poisonous.... another example is corruption of the partition causing media scanner to basically endless loop another example network spoofer if it crashes while running corrupts dalvik and requires a wipe. Or your SD card it's failing. Just examples

On kitkat I was seeing 5-6.5 hours of screen time. Now on lollipop I get about 4-4.5 Hours. I have done a clean factory install and wiped the cache. Android system is always at the top for me as well and it wasn't with kitkat. I actually have less apps and data on my phone now than I did on kitKat because I wiped everything. Ive been using lollipop for about a week now. This is obviously an issue within lollipop itself. I have mirrored the same settings that i had in kitkat, disabled as many useless apps and files that i can, and I'm using it exactly as I was on kitkat. Can someone just root this phone already?! PLEASE? (I won't hold my breath lol)

I noticed that just by changing that setting I get two days easy on one charge, please note that when I say two days I'm not on my phone all the time, typically I pull my phone out at work for demo purposes, I'm browsing the Internet on down time, I'm streaming music on my drive home or I'm texting or playing a simple game. Anyways, not sure why the enhanced services drains battery so badly but after I turned it off on kk and updated it was back on and I had horrible battery life, was gonna factory reset but then checked this and it was on again so now I'm back up to two days on a charge.
My first day running Lollipop I got around 5.5 hrs SOT and phone was on for more than 13 hrs and still had about 12% so I'm getting around the same battery life on heavy usage that I had on Kit Kat. I'm having no issues with Lollipop as of now. Before I downloaded Lollipop I moved all my important files to my SD card and then I updated. Right after the update, I went into recovery, cleared the cache and factory reset within recovery. I've had a very smooth experience ever since.

I have found a fix that has worked for me without resetting. I cleared my cache partition and now I'm back to almost as good as it was. Not quite 100%, but it's a drastic improvement. I'd suggest trying this before doing a factory reset. It worked for me.
And FYI, I tried waiting for as long as I could stand it and it didn't get even a little better.

No question about the Enhanced 4G LTE setting. I was already getting at least as good and probably marginally better battery life after 5.01. Turning off enhanced 4G services has given even much better battery life. Just as others have seen, Android system has dropped in usage. In fact it is amazing how long this phone can now go between charges.
After a week of 5.0.1 (see nothing difference of the interface cause ATT made it). I have to switch back to 4.4 for some of the features missing/not support and i got back my best battery life. It's ok in 5.0.1 but 4.4 battery is best.
In 5.0.1 i got around 3h screen time and it's drain faster.
Note: below is my 6months old battery. Not new
Sent from the Galaxy Note 4 - Have a nice day.
So has anyone noticed a severe drop in battery life since the LP update? My phone has dropped 6% using only XDA, on WiFi, and on 18% brightness. I can't go half a day before the bat is at 50%.

Mine is slightly better
Mine is actually a bit better once I re-flashed stock and upgraded to lollipop, I had some stability issues when I flashed lollipop via twp. the tot restore method helped me.
I'm getting 4 1/2 hours + SOT and It's lasting me a whole day, on auto brightness.
My battery has been a bit better when the screen is not in use(i.e. sitting in pocket idle or streaming music), but it seems worse then before when the screen is on.
Ya I'm not sure what's going on, but I find I am having to charge it more often during the day than I did before.

I've read about the heat issue but I haven't had it, BUT I did have to do a reset because my phone wouldn't after I first installed lollipop so that might be why I haven't had that issue.
Mines not that great either. I have greenify but not the xposed aspect, I have battery guru, I even installed a script which I normally don't do. All of this has helped minorly. Nothing like it was for me though. I factory reset when I flashed. Waiting to see if reports from official Ota has any differences.
Mine got bad first. Then I did a full factory reset and now its pretty good. Had 0% down after 12 hours at night. Normal workday usage went down from ~40% to ~25%. So instead of charging every other day I need to charge every 3 days.
I have thought about doing a factory reset to see if it helps. I know there was a cm app to backup your phone but idk if you need root. I have chosen to not root my phone, and wonder if you guys know of a good app to help backup my phone before doing so. Thanks.
I am looking into helium, has anyone had any experience good, or bad with this app?

Helium works well with early kitkat builds. the cloud backup option blows though. not too sure about using it on lollipop but being that it didn't work to well with late kitkat builds i doubt it'll be any better with lollipop.
also my battery life has gotten plenty better after updating and starting completely from scratch.
currently i'm sitting at 35% with 14hr and 17 min run time, auto brightness, wifi turned on and jumping back and fourth between lte because my router is going dead...
