lollipop battery - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that with the new update I am getting less battery life then when kit Kat I have everything the same expect no root and I would usually get around 5 1/2 battery life on kit Kat with root but now I'm nearly getting 4? And I already factory reset it and it's still the same any help ?

Im having similar results, with 3 hrs screen time being my average. Fresh install, wiped clean, etc etc.

Mine is about the same. I have it set to power saving mode. Just not affecting background data. Getting a full day with it without having to plug it in till about 11pm, my day off charger starting at about 5:30am. It might be your settings and if you're a power user. I use mine all through the day, from streaming audio to social networking and talking and texting or surfing the web. Even watching videos!

My battery has taken a hit as well. I'm seeing about 20-30% less energy from what I used to get.

before the update I unplugat 7:30 I got to high school so I stream netflix I use YouTube occasionly read books at half Brightness with no auto sync nfc Bluetooth off WiFi off till I get home and when I'm not using my data I turn it off (even though I have unlimited ) then when I get home connect to WiFi and keep streaming YouTube and text social media and never worried till about 10 or 11 with around 5 hohrs and 40 or 45 min at 10 % but now I bear get 4 ost

You people do know that just like when you flash a ROM you have to train the update or ROM to the battery. To do this you have to completely drain and charge the battery a few times. I get better battery time with Lolipop then I did with KK. But I also trained the battery and system.

Yeah I was thinking that also but idk if that was the answer or there was something going on because when I first got this phone I couldn't get more then 4 hours ost but now I got more, until the update

You all have to also remember that if you use a KK rom that they were heavily tweaked by the rom maker most times for battery life/performance boosts.

These both make a lot of sense when it comes to battery life. I concur with them both. From a stock standpoint and the custom tweaked.

With stock NK2 I was getting almost 30 hours wothout charge and about 4 hours screen on.... now with OB7 i am lucky to get 10 hours with 1.5 hours screen on. Seriously thinking about going back to NK2. yes I did a full system wipe 3 times to be safe and still having said issue with battery

Have you fully discharged your battery to the point that the phone shuts off and then recharged with the phone off at least twice? If not you should give it a try. This is supposed to be standard procedure any time a ROM is changed or updated. The ROM has to learn the charge and discharge characteristics of the battery and the only way to do this is to have it run a couple of full cycles.

Accidentally gave thumbs up. Anyway, not sure if that's true. I've installed many roms across multiple phones (like most of you have) and I've drained and charged batteries after installing roms and sometimes I haven't. Either way I haven't noticed better battery life. It's usually the same.

This only gives you very small gains if any, also this matters more only if you don't ever let your phone die completely/have a non-stock battery.

Thats usually whats going to happen, small gain/loss. Nothing amazing unless you have an extended battery the device needs to learn to use.

4.1.2 Battery Issues? Simple Fix

So the first thing I noticed when I updated to the MB4 4.1.2. Rom was the battery drain. Obviously, I also thought it was the LTE/4G/3G/2G options turned on being the culprit. But I did some research and found out wiping cache (not wipe data) in cwm did the trick. Now I only lose about a percent per night even with LTE on. Obviously, my GPS is not on when not in use. Looking at the battery setting, I see that the phone is awake only when the screen is on. That's what you want to get to I think for great battery life. Hope that helps. Not something hard to try and you'll notice no drain. Before I did this, I could come back in like an hour to see a couple percentage drops. Let us know how that worked for you.
ps - I just recalled I wiped or formatted another section. Just to be safe, wipe dalvic cache and format cache while you're at it. Usually it's best to format everything before a new rom and that helps solved most battery issues. But since we're not doing that, wipe these 3 and your battery life should come back up to normal.
Anyone else tried this?
I'm losing like 4% per hour on low to average use.
I'm really interested in trying this.

There's really nothing to lose here. You're not erasing your app data or anything of that nature.
Any way to do this on an unrooted/stock recovery phone?
Sent From My Ginormous Note 2
unfortunately youll need root and cwm or similar to get into these options.
So basically you suggest rooting then install cwm?

Thanks, let us know how it goes. I'm going to do a full 100% charge tonight before I sleep and going to see the % drop in the morning. Im going to just turn off GPS, with wifi on.
k, i lost 5% overnight. 12am to 6am But for the first few hours the notification light was on, (got an email) GPS off, wifi on, Not bad but I lost 1% overnight with 4.1.1.

5% overnight I think is not bad. I never really had a chance to test mine yet as I always charge my phone before I got to bed. I'll make sure to charge it later regardless of its battery level so I can leave it 100% before bed. Will report after.

Sorry for the delay so I went to bed and lost 7% after 5 hours. I dont use any 3rd party power saving aside from the one in the phone settings. My phone is rooted but running stock. Only thing off was the BT and GPS and everything is left on default.
Is this percentage drain normal?

Yeah, from using the 4.1.2 MB rom, I think you're generally going to get worse battery life than 4.1.1 stock t-mo rom. (that thing was amazing on battery) I really don't know what the BIG change in battery life is coming from. I even turned off LTE but doesn't really make a difference. I seriously don't think we should lose over a couple % overnight. Ill have to reinstall GSM Battery to see whats going on.
I want 4.1.1 battery life back aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,I get about 12 hours now,used to be like 20

kinda odd that today, I lost about 50% during the working hours. That's close to what I usually lose with the 4.1.1 avg use during breaks, quick games, lots of news, etc. Gonna charge full tonight and see how it goes tomorrow. I might probably use it a little more though since my Boss is on a trip lol.
I did another test last night from a full charge. Slept for 4.5 hrs and lost 13%
I'm currently at 70% now with 8h36m on it @ 30m screen on time lol.
But realistically, as long as I dont have to run and look for charger before the day ends, I'm fine with this. I usually charge before going to bed and I still have about 15%. With about 4 hrs screen on the average.
Still better than all my previous smartphones.

battery problems

My girlfriend has a GS3 love the phone but it has a serious battery drain. It doesn't matter if its a stock or custom rom. It is running stock 4.3 right now and the battery has gone from 100 to 83 in 3 hours. with 30 min screen time. I thought it was the battery so i got another Samsung battery and its not ant better. I tried to search but it seem the search funtion is not working because it gives me nothing no matter what I search for. Any sugestions would be great.

try a different charger or port
2nd updating from 4.3 from 4.1.2 has a big change to the phone how it works etc and by that the phone takes time to adjust to 4.3 thus getting bad battery drains, a week or two or a month and the battery will be as good as ever

Get battery saver or juice defender this are two apps I have used to monitor my battery usage and they recommend to charge the phone to 100% and that will change as to how fast your battery dies
Letting the phone die and charging results to bad battery life while recharging phone at a timely manner increases battery life
Also note that GPS/WiFi/data/screen drains battery like crazy so fix those and you will notice a big difference

[Q] Rapid Battery Loss & Rebooting Restores Battery?

So, my battery is wack... and I think it's only been acting like this since I went to a KK ROM? Maybe? Feels like it...
I've had this tablet since it was released last fall, and this behavior is very recent.
Anyways, it dies FAST. Like nose dives in a matter of 5-15 minutes. What's even weirder, is that sometimes, if I power cycle the device, it'll jump up by 30-60%. But then just dies again in another 5-15 minutes.
And there's a screenshot after I just power-cycled.
It jumped from 11% to 71%!!
Crazy!
I've also tried letting it get to 5% then charging it to 100%, done that twice. No luck. I don't know if this is related, but if I power it completely off, and plug it in, it turns on... kinda weird. My Note 3 doesn't do that, it just stays off and shows the battery charge indicator.

Hi, I have similar problem and I am with 4.3 android. I have battery loss when I play games. It drops to 2-3% really fast and after reboot it goes up to 35-40%. Once I fully depleted my battery and charge it. This time there were no battery lost. After the second charging problem persists.
If you manage to fixed it please tell us how.

I have a similar problem with my p600. the tablet is new, got it since a month or less.
at first i was amazed of the battery life i use it a lot for work writing documents and sheets on excel, battery used to perfom quite well giving me more than 5 hours of screen on, but recently the battery starts to drop very fast, now i can barely get around 2 hours of screen on.
i've already done 2 cycles of full discharge and then charge it completely with the tablet turned off. but the problem stills.
also sometimes when i reboot the tablet the battery goes from i.e 20% to 40% after the reboot.
im still looking for a fix or solution, today i found a new official firmware for my model (4.4 firmware for telcel mexico). going to wait until the tablet is fully charged and then flash the new firmware. I dont know if its going to help but i got nothing to lose.
by the way, sending it to semsung is not an option because of knox 0x1

Man i ha e exactly the same problem. I calibrated it some months ago and it seemed to work fine. Now the problem is back.... Dont know what to do... I have tried several apps, though i read google doesn't recomend to use any app to fix the battery... we really need help here

Sorry to bump this, has anyone found a solution yet.
I've replaced the battery 3 times in about 9 months, but had this issue about a yr, was sent back to Samsung who changed the battery and supposedly updated the fw 4.4.2, I have since replaced the battery another 3 times every 3 months, each time either factory resetting or flashing a new rom, currently on official Smp600 5.1.1 BTU rom, today my battery was on 47%, I plugged in charger and was watching/streaming a movie on it, about 80 minutes later the tablet shut off, which was odd it's never powered off while on charge, powered it back on and battery said 19%, my previous issues has been the same as others, it can be on 100%, play a game, or stream a movie,or watch youtube etc and it will nosedive dramatically 20/30% at a time, sometimes within 10 mins it's gone from 100% to less than 30%, it's clear there's some sort of issue if others have it, I was wondering if a thread should be made to list ppl with this issue to see how many there are and go from there.

You're going to have to do some further diagnosing using a wakelock detector to figure out what exactly is causing the drain. That is an unusual drain by Android System.
I've had no issues with battery drain on OB9, mind you, I never do a restore (ie. titanium) and always clean flash.

I tried doing a clean flash. I wiped data, system, cache, dalvik and then flashed ob9, flashed twrp again, flashhed sr5 then when i press reboot system, it says no os installed. :/ Also, im not draining battery during sleep. It's when the screen is on. Im losing 1 percent for like every 3-5mins.

1 percent every 5 minutes is 500 minutes for 100% which is 8.3 hours of screen on time.
worst case scenario, 300 minutes = 3 minutes per 1% - 5 hours screen on time.

SoT is really a hit and miss and vulnerable to too many factors to be used as a quantitative measure of battery life/performance.
My day to day activities include text messaging (a lot of it), reading on my phone, minimal social apps (facebook and twitter), and non hardware intensive games and I can push out 4-6 hours of SoT (adaptive brightness on). If I put the phone into airplane mode and watch movies stored on my phone, I can easily hit 8-11 hours of SoT.
No matter which way I look at it, this phone gets me through my entire work day and then some on a full charge.
I'm used to charging my phone once a day and this phone does the job well for my use. And Dash Charge is phenomenal if you need a quick boost.

SoT is really a hit and miss and vulnerable to too many factors to be used as a quantitative measure of battery life/performance.
My day to day activities include text messaging (a lot of it), reading on my phone, minimal social apps (facebook and twitter), and non hardware intensive games and I can push out 4-6 hours of SoT (adaptive brightness on).

[HELP] LG G4 battery percentage jumps

Title. H810 no root.
I'm aware the battery life on this one is not really good. That in mind.
-Example, (nothing running on background, everything but wifi off) using it normally until 14%. Pushed sleep button.
-Turn screen on like 5 mins after and it was 15%, used it a bit then again screen off.
-Turned screen on about 6 minutes later and it was 5%.
-Drained it to supposedly 1% then phone turned itself off.
-Turned phone on again and it was 2% and stayed like that for 10 mins while scrolling twitter with 30% brightness, until it turned itself off again and this time battery is to low to turn on.
Tried factory reset, draining till absolute 0% then 100% multiple times but so far nothing works.
Battery's health is good and factory original, no water, no heavy drops.
Let's say i root it (as far as i know its possible in all models), question:
Is there a way to push battery stats to make battery readings accurate?
Or what do you suggest? thanks.

Hi,
What you have is normal.
My owen device jumps frpn 12% to 15% after heavy and log use, thats normal, cause battery is cooling down/pre-ucomputed Energy is not consumed and Battery is calculated new.
The other Jump from 15 to 5 thats somthing you should watch closer. did that happen often?
all in all I have a sugestion but answer this first.
How old is Battery and usage time? (heavy or Soft? SOT? and so one)
Battery readings denpend on the Kernel. You are Stock i think?
Titan Kernel gave me awesome Display Sdreen on Times but battery is jumping too.

Thanks for replying!
Well thats one solved, it wasnt a sudden jump but rather a few minutes discharge doing nothing at all.
Battery is as old as the phone, 2015 and usage, i dont know for sure since it's an import US carrier phone sold to me locally, seems like it was a test phone like the ones you can try at stores. I would say battery use isnt any different than it would be in a daily usage and even if not, would be very rare for a li-ion battery to degrade in such a small amount of time. Gonna ask the seller.
Another thing i notice is very fast battery drain while playing music. I listen to music from home to work, like a 1 hour trip and when i got of home with 81% when i get to my job im at 68%.
And yeah stock everything with android 6.0, as i said currently not even rooted.

Sounds as if the Battery has some Altered Issues. How Often do you charge?
with Music You meen Mp3 or stream? (stream drain battery much faster)
Try custom Rom and titan kernel if u dont need stock services, otherwise rootand use greenify or other.
on Stock i Had SoT of 2 hours max. now i am back to 3 Hoeurs (i´m heavy user some days...)

Already using greenify. Charging 2 times a day, 1 before going to work, 1 when i come back, plugged while using it.
MP3 from stock music app, since i read somewhere a 3rd party music app caused an user a battery drain-
H810 has locked bootloader, do you know any flash tool?

Greenify is much better with Root
first you must unlock your Bootloader.
there are 2 Otions at the moment. Official (don´t know if possible for H810) and USU by @steadfasterX
for second:

read and choose for yourself if that is what you want
Just by a new battery. Original battery can be found for about 8$ at least here in Sweden..
I believe this is normal.
My H815 had it with both the original and a new battery. It used to be really bad when you charged it to 100%, restarted and it would drop immediately to 80%.
Also, especially on stock LG stuff (the graph on custom ROMs seems to be smoothed out), the battery graph was a mess of random spikes and dips
