Hey folks.
I updated my phone on 4.4.2 with root and now i get the feeling its getting hotter while using(browsing web and so on) and its draining more and more battery than before. I mean on 4.3 it wasn't that fast and it even get that hot. My question is this normal since 4.4.2 (.757) and is there any good app which is helping me to find out if any background(system or not) is causing this problem?
Thanks for advice!

Mine is the same, everyone since the kitkat upgrade. When the screen is off it cools and deep sleeps. When it's on though it gets far hotter than on 4.3 and consequently the battery drains far too quickly.
Mine isn't rooted so I can't look at the wake locks in better battery stats but I can see that the processor isn't maxing out at 2.2GHz. Most of its time is spent at 300MHz.
There doesn't appear to be any app that's gobbling up juice so it must be the OS I think.

My battery life used to be phenomenal. I would check at the end of basically every day and averaged 4-8 hours of actual Screen On time. The Screen would account for 40-55% of the usage, followed by all of the*apps*that I had used that day. Android System and Android OS would be pretty far down on the list.*
Now that I have 4.1.2, I'm lucky to hit 3 hours of Screen On time. And now Screen, Android System, and Android OS are accounting for 20% EACH.
I haven't changed any settings or the way that I used the phone. The only thing that has changed is the update.*Is anybody else experiencing this?
I've gotten bettery battery life since 4.1.2, significantly better. Try to perform a factory reset or it could be a faulty device.

Yep and I have more or less tried everything including tweaks galore, every suggestion I coukd find, and freezing several dozen apps.
Nothing can be done about this and my guess is Samsung have made an absolute mess of the update. My HTC loses maybe 1% overnight on a bad day, this loses way over 10%.
I'll prob end up switching back to 4.1.1 but unfortunately it doesnt have the tap to reflow feature in the browser (which I use a lot)... I wonder if I can remove it via titanium and restore the newer version which would have reflow on 4.1.1 ??
I have the same problem. As soon as I took my phone off the charger this morning it dropped to 99%. On 4.1.1 it used to last for a good 20 minutes before dropping to 99%. Also last night after about 6 hours of screen time Android System was at the top of my list. And that is with 20 or so system apps frozen or deleted from running.
What's the easiest way to go back to 4.1.1?

Is there any way to get the browser from 4.1.2 onto 4.1.1? Titanium backup doesn't seem to restore system apps.
Zero battery life related issues here with 4.1.2 Im starting to think some people probably messed up their phones too much or just got a flaky unit/battery and 4.1.2 exposed those?

Well I dunno.. I have tried everything and there is definitely a battery drain issue. If it is caused by ebay/whatsapp + facebook, then I'm curious as to why they don't show up in battery usage or betterbatterystats... and I'm also curious why the exact same setup on my HTC EVO 3D does cause these horrendous idle battery drains.

Yeah already done all that and there doesnt actually seem to be anything using over like 5%.. I have elimated the higher one yet it still drains ovwr 10% at nite. Or in general idleness.
What I became accustomed to with my previous phones was 0% or 1% drain over many hours if the screen was off. Not 2% or more an hour.
1% drain over 9 hours of deep sleep on Wanam2.8

I had the same dreaded android os battery drain issue after updating to ma8. Used to have great battery life before that. After freezing Google search, Google now, still no use. Then i realized I installed another weather app at the same time I upgraded the os. Bingo. Un installed that offending app and that fixed the Android os battery drain issue. Hope this helps.

That's specifically my DBT rom (stock everything as well) and I've had battery issues and to be honest, it's still better than most other phones, but I'm getting about 40% less life out of my device now.
I have flashed again, I've reset, and deleted everything and still no luck. It's something with the ROM. I hope the next update will fix it. If it doesn't, I'll revert back to 4.1.1 because I would go to bed with 50% battery life, now I have to charge in the middle of the day if I want to get through a long work day with lots of use.
well the new french 4.1.2 N7100XXDMA6_N7100OXADMA5_N7100XXDLK7 is much better than the last one rlsd in december and my battery drains less now

I'm on 4.1.1, to be exact wanam 1.5 and when I test using emmc check my chip is sane and I passed the test. Should I be worrying about sds?

i also have same problem on XXDMB2 .i think only some people have battery problems with 4.1.2. Is it related to emmc firmware 0*1f ? Is the kernel reparing the bad sectors by itself? and what is kworker process?
Hi all,
Just got my P6 a couple days ago and I have noticed that it seems to drain quite fast (for me more than I would like anyway). It also gets pretty hot on the back when using WiFi and I thought maybe these could be related (heat = energy) and thought maybe I have a faulty unit. Here is a screen after a full days usage. You can see that I basically used it very little. WiFi was off most of the day. Data was on. Bit of browsing. Bit of reading. Maybe literally 3 or 4 phone calls. Running latest stock Jelly from Huawei with (I think) 1.6 EMUI.
Is this normal in your experience?
Are any ROMs/launchers better for battery life?
Any hints for getting more life out of it?
Basically I have a week to take it back if I think it's faulty so looking for some comparisons!!
Thanks in advance.

Umm.. You should try the B125 ROM. If the problem still exists, bring it back to repair. The hot backplate is "natural" with some hwkiller apps/games at this phone.. But 'cause of wi-fi I never had this problem.. The wi-fi on my P6 is always on, as it losts the IMEI and the only way I can use it with internet is wi-fi.. I had heat problems only with HQ MMO RPG games. I think the GPU is the one that eats the battery and heats the phone.

Hmmm....
I dont play any games. Does this look like an unusually fast drain time? How long do you get from yours? Would try a different ROM but I'm a bit worried about flashing and bricking. Can I go straight to the B125 from stock? Not very experienced with android. Is B125 a different kernel?!
Thanks.

The rom that comes from factory had heat and battery problems. B125 is far better rom, and yes it is stock and has kernel changes too. Download and instructions you can read from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566453

less likely that its about being a faulty unit. And more likely that you have battery draining applications/ connections etc running in the background. While the latest rom will for sure give better performance and battery, but if there are battery draining stuff in the background, you need to adjust them for sure.
On B125 my battery drain was 10% in 3Hrs nd 35mins.
Hi
Since my upgrade to 4.4.2 - version 757, the battery on my phone not lasting as good. On Jelly bean, it lasted well over a day and more. Has anyone had the same issues and/or have any fixes or can help. BTW the phone is not rooted and I do not want to do so.

Had the same issue. Noticed that Google Now notifications were activated. Deactivated and now I come close to 48h on a single charge, even better than before upgrading.
With Google Now notifications activated, it wouldn't last 24h on a single charge.

Yes, I have noticed exactly the same. Screen off deep sleep is fine. It's when the screen is on where the problem is. The phone gets hot and the battery drains really fast.
I'd love an answer to this.

Same here... How do you desactivate Google Now? I believe it is already off on my Z1c.
Mine has been mind blowing good. I did uninstall an app that was a pig, ROM itself is sick.

No problems here. I accidentally updated and there were no issues that I noticed thereafter.
How's your battery life and are there any "lag issues"?

It was about the same, but I didn't have stock very long. No lag either. I always close all my recent apps daily to keep as much ram free as possible to avoid slowing down the phone. I ended up getting root about a week after updating to NK2 and running Xnote which is real zippy with a little better battery performance. I started at 100% at 6pm yesterday with moderate usage up until I went to bed and had about 50% around noon today . I've got Battery Monitor Widget Pro installed and it went from 86% to 85% between 11:43pm and 1:23am. Not sure if that's a glitch, but the phone temperature was at it's lowest at 77º. Fast Charging still works great with Xnote so I am able to juice it up quickly just as when I was stock.

Hi everybody...I have this phone and I have a problem.When I charge the phone up to 100% battery and then take it from the charger,battery drops to 99 or less without phone usage...And when I go to sleep and then wake up,the phone lost about 10-15 percent...Can somebody plesase help me?
Check what's keeping your phone awake during idle, "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Though you need root for these. You've nor given us any details of what your phone is and what ROM?? Try searching for threads on how to calibrate your phone battery.
Ohh sorry...My phone is S4 mini GT-I9195 LTE....I have stock android 4.4.2 kitkat...I have already calibrated battery and bought new battery...But same problem...
Will be an app causing your phone to wake

Not always the case... Depends when and where your phone was made. Could be a faulty kernel or motherboard but it also could be an app or a setting on your phone or an unclean install. Have you always suffered this issue?
I got phone about 3 weeks ago...and the battery was very bad so i bought new one.I also tried CM 12.1 but the phone is heating in unnormal way but the battery there is better...
You have problems with motherboard. Go to service center to replace it on waranty.
Powered by CM12.1
But my phone isnt on waranty...i got it used haha....ahh nvm,i will live with that problem.thanks for help!
Bad luck then. Normal consumption for our device is 0.2 - 0.3 % per hour in stand by.

How long does yours battery last with some normal usage?
Almost 3 days with moderate usage.

Your best bet seeing as unless you pay for a new motherboard is to try one of the battery drain fix kernels on here. Though I think you may be limited to certain compatible ROMs.
Why are you not staying on cm 12.1? For me it's amazing, i observed at least 100% more battery efficiency than stock (4.2.2). I also observed the same problem with high temp too. But i think we can't have it all. When i play games and the outside temperature is about 35 celsius, i do not expect anything less, because this mobile is not designed for this android version. I think that's reasonable and i finally can use my mobile with a joyful way without having my mind always on the battery stats!

Thanks guys! And i will try CM 12.1 for longer time to see if anything will be better!
