Im getting some weird battery stuff, as well as the Android OS drain. If I restart my phone, once in a while It drops like 20-30%. i'll go from 46% to like 18%. I see the threads about slow draining, but mine seems to happen instantly sometimes (3 different times so far in a week), anyone have solutions? Got it from someone on ebay, can I still/should I RMA?
Someone posted a kernel fix in the international GSII forum, so we're either waiting for that to get ported over here or wait for samsung to release a fix. I have that same bug too. What percent r u getting on the Android OS? Mine is usually in the 60's.
Yeah I saw that thread, and I saw the 2 things causing it. Waiting for that fix I guess, hopefully it solves the big battery drops as well as the small draining. Mines pretty high, 30-50% I believe, and then cell reception takes 10-20% with LOS
That's alot better than mine. Although, I don't have that LOS problem. I'm running stock atm. Are u on a custom rom?
Running Starburst 1.5, stock was better for no LOS. But I like the customization on Starburst. Hopefully by the end of this week the kernel we be ported over.
Most likely a problem with the battery level algo and not an actual battery charge drop. It's probably showing the correct value after the reboot.
Using battery spy I was using like 12%-15% per hour, not even doing anything. Saw online that formating the SD card might help, just did, and now im using .8% per hour. The hell, something was scanning the SD card or something. Much better now, hopefully itll last 10-20 hours instead of 6 hours.
edit: so it went back up again. At .8% it will last 2 days+, but since the events keep taking the CPU, its draining it. I got it down to 4-8% by taking the SD card out. At least it will last a little longer. Cant wait for the fix, this baby will last days after.
Damn that sucks. I just formatted my card too cuz I was running out of options. Keep us updated tho.
so I think media scanner is draining, I downloaded rescan media root from android market and before I was draining at 12% per hour, but when I disable it with the app, it goes down to 5-6%. Anyone else try? Maybe thats something thats draining.
Oh btw have u tried turning off wifi? It only drained 6% after being off the charger for 9 hours. I havent touched the phone during that time span tho. Android os still in the 50s btw.

These are my overnight stats when I was sleeping. It's usually worse when wifi is on.

this is almost definitely correct. battery doesn't drop 15-20% because of reboot...the reading is wrong. Battery drivers have been bad on a few of the latest android phones. Just look at when your phone stays at 99% for the first 3 hrs of use each day...what, does it just get really inefficient in the afternoon because of food coma from lunch?

Trying now, seems to be charging faster too. I was mainly on wifi because cell standby was really high, keep getting LOS. But maybe I wont with wifi off now, and i'll see how battery does. ill keep you updated.
Still bad. Can only wait for the patches/fixes. 8 hours doing nothing almost. Sigh.
edit: sent to the galaxy support on twitter, see how that goes.

Hey man, I got one more tweak for u to try. I just rooted my phone w/ the latest zenomax kernel and Starburst 1.5. Download setcpu and create a profile for "screen off". Set it to 200-500mhz on demand. In theory, this should prevent 100% cpu utilization while the screen is off. I'm testing this myself atm, so I can't give u my battery stats yet.

Think I have the v3 version and 1.5 as well. I have setcpu set to 200-400 powersave. ive tried others and same. Suspend and events/0 keeping eating at the CPU. Thanks for the suggestions though.
figured i'd chime in here. i've had days where the battery was fine and days where the battery was absolute trash. it's happened on stock, and it's happened on root. but it almost always seems to coincide with LOS. the first picture is one of several instances where i've had pretty fast drain followed up by an instant dump in charge under normal use. it's strange how after the drop, it slowly works back up then levels off and drains normally. the 2nd pic is from today. i left my phone at home on accident when i went off to work, and when i returned, i had LOS and this battery stat. you can tell where i lost signal . the last pic is from yesterday while i had the phone at work all day and light use; a nice consistent drain.
FU battery drops and FML
Ok so i read all the posts in this thread and i understand theres a issue that effects the phone from even knowing what the battery % is. i had to post these though. i was at 47% then rebooted my phone. phone boots up and yehhh! woop woop 8% now mind you if you look at the graph it shows a nice constant cerve downward but steady because i was using my phone the entire time. now after the restart/batery drop of 40% i kept using the phone constantly but its funny how it took me over a hour of screen on to go from 8% to 5% !!!!! i bet to get from 5% to 1% it will take 2 more hours for sure. you can see the graph start to flatten out like its a super battery after the 40% drop because it didnt really drop to 8% !!! normally i wouldnt care since my phone battery last just as long, it just goes down really slow from 8%-1% but at 5% it auto dims screen and wont let me use my camera for the next 2-3 hours while i knock off the remaining "4%" of battery left. fml
Get Starburst v1.6. He removed DRM processes which should lower Android OS usage and thus battery draining. Plus with the LoStKernel, I haven't had any issues with losing signal since.
Also, use Titanium backup to remove running services that you don't need. I got rid of the stock email client, digital clock, media/social hub if you don't use those. They don't take up a lot of ram, but every little bit helps.
My battery life has improved after battery calibration. I suggest you calibrate if you didn't already so your battery usage graph may be more accurate. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tips! I was wondering how you would calibrate the battery. Is it the same as wiping battery stats from CWM?
Is it normal that my battery goes down a percent every 3-4 minutes, just by doing simple things like web browsing?
No. Something is wrong on your end. Check for any apps running the background that shouldn't be running at all.

Open the battery utility to see what is consuming the highest percentage of power.
The display is one of the biggest power consumers. What level is your brightness at? The new N7 can achieve almost 600 nits. That is ridiculously high. The ipad 3/4 and Mini max out around 400 nits. I've found 200 to be a good compromise between battery life and ease on the eyes.
I have. I even factory restored. The standby time is great but once I start using it the battery just drains like that
I would let the device die completely and charge it up to 100% and use it intensely for a bit and track it. My experience with Android is to let the first few cycles of battery settle in the kernel and all that. Sometimes Unix takes a few days to get acquainted with it's space in my experience.

I have about 5 hours on actual screen on time right now and I'm at 38% and 13h since I pulled it off the charger. Mine tends to drop a lot when using Facebook and playing games, cause they're memory hogs. I can listen to music and go on reddit for probably an entire day and it'll get 10 hours.

I got battery issues as well only 5 hours of on screen time........ You can get "Better battery stats" free from Xda, but I can tell you I've checked and nothing is running in the background, deep sleep is good but it dies after about 5 hours of using it. It's looking like some units are shipping with a defective battery. I don't see a lot of people reporting this though.

It just sucks because other than the battery issue this device is perfect no light bleed issues or nothing
Also does your battery sometimes skips percentages? Because mine does

Most of the battery issues I've seen have all had the 5 hour screen on time problem, I don't know I just find that really weird but oh well
I'm also getting average of 5hrs screen on time. Nothing is draining the battery as far as I can tell. Today for instance I took it off the charger and went out. 7hrs later it had 96% with 6 minutes on screen time. It's at 13hrs on with 5 hrs on screen time mostly chrome, Twitter, instagram, Google+, quick games of words with friends and draw something 2 five minutes each game max if that. I would kill for anything close to 7hrs let alone 9hrs. Also the touch sensitivity goes bonkers often with my Nexus registering touches pretty far from where my finger is. I think I might just try and exchange it. Brightness at 20% maybe.

I have a battery drain issue with my new nexus 7. it cost 25%-30% battery overnight while i was sleeping. so i decided to factory reset it, and not installing any apps to test its standby time. it still cost ~20% battery overnight. Is it a defective product or it's a software issue? Maybe i should return it for a new one

Battery Test
I pulled my new N7 off the charger thsi morning and decided to test the battery because it seemed to be draining too quickly for my taste. I streamed two movies, Star Trek (2009) from Google Play and The Apostle from Showtime Anytime. that is only 4 hours and 20 minutes of movies. My tablet died before the Apostle finished. Had about 20 minutes left on it.
I am not satisfied with this paltry battery life. Google website said it would run 9 hours of movies non stop. 4 hours isn't even close. There are several "comparisons" out there but they only compare what the company said. I am not sure the battery is all it is cracked up to be. I am going to do some further testing but right now it looks like I will forego the New Nexus 7 and pick up a Kindle Fire HD. That battery life does last for hours and for what I need it will suit me fine.
I welcome your comments.

Yeah the battery is terrible for some. There's a chance our nexus 7's are defective but maybe a software update will fix it? Who knows
I have same problems. Only about 5 hours screen on time, and it drains quick if I am streaming especially with Netflix.
I got a good deal on an open box WiFI only Galaxy Tab S 10.5 at Best Buy. I've been trying to put it through it's paces to make sure there wasn't a good reason it was an open box unit. So far all is well, but I can't tell if I'm getting a shorter battery life than I should. I read reviews with people talking about 8 - 10 hours of local video, but it's so hard to know what else they did since they don't detail exactly what they did very often (brightness level? Video used? Airplane mode? Task killer preventing anything else from running much? etc...)
Anyway, just to get a ballpark, I charged mine to 100%, left it charging for a little while once it hit the 100%, and I've been watching Netflix on 50-70% brightness since I took it off the charger (and a brief 10 minute period when the WiFi slowed down). It looks like it's going to manage about 4 and a half hours of streaming Netflix over WiFi after a fresh system restore (so, some Gmail and Google Sync activity in the background, but nothing else extra installed).
Does that seem low or similar to what others would expect with non-stop Netflix streaming?
Well I stream on YouTube with 30 percent brightness and get around 8 hours as this tablet is really bright for me. No mods are any changes. When I tweaked the kernel settings I got 9 hours screen on time. I measured these by watching/looping a YouTube video continuously. You'll start to get more after a few charging cycles since your tablet is still new.
Unfortunately it seems like something else is up with this tablet. As soon as I install any form of battery monitoring widget or app, it starts randomly rebooting and the battery life remaining percentage jumps up after each boot. It may not be the battery monitoring app actually causing it - but it seems to only happen when one is installed (and I've tried a few).
Seems there probably IS a reason this was a returned open box unit. Oh well, guess I'll exchange it for a new one tomorrow when the supposed one year free Netflix deal starts so I can get in on that promo.

Just in case anyone sees this and wonders the same thing - after returning the above mentioned open box unit and buying one new, I conducted a similar test under similar conditions (good WiFi connection streaming Netflix around 50% brightness with a recently factory restored Galaxy Tab S 10.5).
After 5 hours, I was down to about 60% battery - so clearly the open box unit had severe battery issues.
Is anyone else's Pixel XL having not so great battery life since the update? I'm getting 3-3 1/2 hours of sot today i was at 70% so far and 45 min of screen time and barely been on phone. I did a hard reset 2 days ago to see if that did anything but still the same the past 2 days.
Mine isn't that bad, but I definitely noticed a drain after 7.1.2. It was enough that I was checking to see if some rogue app was running in the background. Glad to hear I am not the only one.

yea, i talked with google support and they had me stick it into Safe mode and to try that for a couple hours to see if the drain persists. Basically every app I use is blocked in safe mode so we will really get down to see if its phone or apps

I have noticed it too.
for me my battery drain was from play music. I had the same battery life as you, I went to pure stock with only my bootloader unlocked and the drain persisted. I stopped using Play Music and started streaming with a different app and my battery life jumped to 2 days after a while
I think it has been about similar to what it was prior to update. I typically average about 4 hours talk time and stream music on Play Music, typically a few hours worth a day. I am also in a terrible Cell reception area. On screen time is usually 2hrs+. Typically after a full work day I still have about 60% almost religiously every day.
Did you do the OTA or did you hard reset the phone after the 7.1.2 update? I had a drain issue back on 7.1.1 --> 7.1.2 beta and the hard reset fixed it.

Crap battery life here. I've even gone as far as a factory reset and not restoring data/apps. Sitting on my desk on wifi (lte makes no difference) with nothing running, 10-20% battery drain after about 2 hours. I went from about 2 1/2 days of moderate (for me at least) usage to where the hell is my charger.

I use Force Doze, i.e. forces device to doze on screen-off immediately.
It reports a 5% drop during 10 hours of dozing.
Why the hell
For me it's fine. Same battery like 7.1.1.
I did that support with google and they said to email them back after a couple hours to report what happened, that was 2 days ago and still nothing in return. So thats neat
So following up on my battery issue, I contacted Google and told them about my problem. They take about 3 days to reply so its been a long process. Told me I could send my phone in and they would look at it and decide if a replacement would be granted. The turn around time is ONLY 5-10 days without a phone. I have my own business so this wasnt an option. Next they were asking questions and one came up is there any physical damage. The attached picture shows the "damage" of a 5 inch fall out of pocket when i was sitting on sidewalk with my daughter. They then told me that I would need to send it in to their third party provider UBreakIFix to get it fixed then I could send it in and have them look it over and then TRY to get me a replacement. I dont think I've ever had a worse possible experience with customer service. Between taking as long as they do to reply to the whole 5-10 days without a phone option even after I tell them I cant be without a phone that long. Needless to say I dunno that I would ever buy another warranty for a google product if this is how they provide it. I love the phone but I guess it shouldnt be at 80% within a couple hours of the day after it is unplugged.

I don't use Facebook at all. I've tested with Google Voice turned off and with all location settings off, makes only a minor difference. I'm talking minutes of battery life difference. I don't even know that 7.1.2 is at all to blame. It does seem slightly better since this month's update. I've even tried to factory reset without loading any of my apps back on to see if something was hoovering up the battery. Same deal.

Don't read it if it bugs you when people talk about stuff on forums.
Odd. I have tons of apps on my phone and use Facebook often(including messenger) but with relatively low brightness, Bluetooth, GPS WiFi scanning for location constantly on and still occasionally get a good 4 hours SoT. On occasions I get lucky and get something magical like in tagged pictures. Maybe a replacement for anything lower than 3 1/2 of SoT would be in order.
For me, it was Android Auto.
Don't know why, but that seemed to have done the trick for me. My battery was showing a few apps that seemed to point to streaming or using BT (Google Play Services, Podcast Addict, Samsung Accessory App were taking more battery than Phone Idle, when my phone was sitting idle most of the day). So, over a few days I uninstalled/reinstalled all various apps (Samsung Gear Manager, Podcast Addict). Nothing seemed to work. Then I uninstalled Android Auto, and battery life went back to "close" to normal. Reinstalled it, and it was fine until it connected to my car. After that ... the battery drain came back.
Haven't played around with settings in android auto to see if there is a setting that can resolve the battery drain. I have just left it uninstalled for now.

Same here. If battery is hurting then get BBS from Play or XDA thread. Check out what's alarming overnight and you're bound to find the culprit. For me it was MiBand 2 app draining 0.5% / hour overnight while doing absolutely nothing. I'm now down to 0.5% / hr total and can also spend and entire day plus without a charge since deleting the app and removing the band. Some of these apps insist on pinging home or keeping the phone awake with screen off. Get rid of them and you'll be fine. Either that or give it a quick charge during the day for about 15 min.
For the last 2 days I've been seeing a huge decline in standby time. Last night I went to bed at 100%. A little more than 6 hours later and I was down to 88%
The battery settings shows no apps using battery and the full device usage only shows Android System, Phone Idle, Android OS and Mobile network standby.
GSam shows 70% of battery for app usage but won't say which apps and as already mentioned the battery settings shows no apps using battery.
I also haven't installed any new apps in the last two days either. I even rebooted my phone last night right before I unplugged it when I went to bed.
I usually lost like 2% over 7-8 hours of standby. Now I'm losing like 12% in just over 6 hours of standby.
That's a standby power usage increase of like 6x for what seems like no reason.
Any ideas of what could be going on?

In my experience 1%/hr while in standby not being touched at all(doze) is NOT common. It's usually like 0.333% for me. Your claim of 1%/hr would result in an 8% drain in 8 hours. I usually see 2-3% over 8 hours.
I will try to remember to use safe mode when I go to sleep tonight but since I haven't installed any new apps in the last several days and the battery stats don't mention any apps using a lot of battery I don't expect much difference.

FB app is the devil!
When on the 6P I was losing a ton of batt life after installing the FB app.
I uninstalled it and used a bookmark on my home screen to access FB via browser, and my batt life immediately jumped back to where it was.
FaceBook app or 25% less batt life? See ya FB!
As far as the OP question: I'd suspect something is going on in the background as I have two apps that are recognized as using battery in the background and I only lose 3-5% overnight.
Could you have changed a setting and forgotten about it (GPS, WiFi scanning, sync, etc,) or is it possible your service/signal has been really poor the last few days?
Good luck figuring it out!

When on the 6P I was losing a ton of batt life after installing the FB app.

FB was the one that really stood out as a huge batt life killer. Any app that's constantly checking for and sending notifications will likely put a good dent in your batt life as well.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

snapchat is another common one
there are also a decent bit of ram/storage "cleaner" apps that besides being useless drain your battery
Do you have an exchange account syncing with Gmail?
