Losing 5% battery every three seconds

Hi guys,
My gio is losing battery at incredible speed - 5% every few seconds, and it's not even hot.
Whatever the rom, the kernel I put on it it's the same. I have tried to discharge-wipe battery-full charge a thousand times. I'd have thought the calibration was faulty here but I have tried Battery Calibration with no result.
Something weird is that on Battery Calibration it says it's at 4mV. Shouldn't it be more ?
It always stays at 4mV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...

Turn off mobile data when you're not using it, saves lots of battery

It's not about mobile data or wifi or anything, it's just unnatural to lose that much battery ! It's not even heating.

Maybe your battery died?
My sisters battery exploded and caused the same **** :/

Yeah that's my last resort but I would prefer to fix it myself, this will take ages =/
By the way is there a flash counter on this device ? If I just flash a stock rom I'm good to go ?

at me its just when i use it , scroll for music/youtube / browser/msn , it goes down very fast , like 4-5% in 1-2 min , but if i keep the screen off and i dont use mobile data network/wifi/BT i can listen music for over 10 hours with no stop (I tested it) it something with battery or what ?

Gio doesnt have a flash counter, just make sure its kn s stock rom wich has been given out by samsung, there are also unnoficial roms, leaked maybe, these arent given by kies but are on sammobile
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

discharging at that rate without any heat means a single thing: battery is of very low capacity.
My phone last usually 3-4 days on a charge, but without any use it will last 10-13 days. Using camera of any stressful game will discharge the battery 5-10%/minute, but in the same time phone gets hot.

what's about cpu usage, do you checking how many process was running?

No flash counter?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
The heck that means I can always get warranty if something happens mwhahaha. Lol I'm a loser sorry. But that's actually awesome. Mine would be at like 50 if it had one.

True, just make sure that you flash a stock rom when going to service center, and no custom recovery, kernel, root etc, these all wipe when flashing a stock rom

My wife's Gio has the same problem (fast power drops, 3-4mv,...).
At the moment I didn't find a solution yet.

don't use your phone
and set clock speed low, maximum 600 min 100 or something, maybe even lower..

Have you got the official gio firmware? if not try to install it & do full battery stats/data wipe...maybe the problem can be a bug in your current ROM.

With me it's exactly the same thing!
I tried the same steps for you: With 50%, the phone hangs up.
What if I restart it with 70% it back to 20%.
I suspect we have problem with the battery level sensor.
I bought another phone.

Battery life is best determined after a few days of settling in .... About 3-4 full charge cycles........then if it sucks ...change and try another ROM setup.

I found Facebook to be battery hungry whether on LG's rom or CM. It refused to hibernate on greenify's command. The solution that worked for me was deleting Facebook.
And also monitoring apps behavior in general, wakelocks, etc. I put yahoo weather on a few days ago and the app racked up like 500 wakelocks in the first few hours.

I improved my battery life by restoring my DD, Stock 4.1.2 Nandroid. I can't see getting this much standby/screen combined time on our official KK, yet. Plus, I had issues with lagging and bugs (such as constant playback errors with Google Play All access). The only thing I miss is the greatly improved Stereo Bluetooth quality in 4.4 vs v the too-bad-to-listen on 4.1. If anyone could tell me if/how to edit those libs/files I'd not even care if I ever get stable KK on the e980. Anyway, organic battery usage.
I'm gonna let it run till dead and predict 72+hours with 4+ screen.

I was also getting severe Android OS battery drain for the last few days. I lost 60% battery life in just 3 hours!
I fixed it by "recalibrating" (or at least I saw it called this elsewhere on the internet) my battery. I simply used my phone until the battery died and my phone automatically shut off. Then I kept trying to power on the phone until it stopped attempting to turn on (this just makes sure your battery is truly dead; i doubt this does anything useful though). Then with the phone off, I charged until 100%, then continued charging another 2 hours (to make sure battery is really full). Then I turned on the phone. After this, I am getting excellent battery life and Android OS is using far less battery.

EDIT: No longer true. The issue eventually came back and has been plaguing me since.

Since mine is used for work and can't root, I took the update and it's only been a few hours, but battery life seems the same. The update even says to let it settle in for a day or 2. I will see how this weekend goes.

Lg g4 marshmallow

Hi guys is the OS update to marshmallow going to help with battery life? Especially SOT? If so by how much do you believe?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

You will get 27 hours screen on time and 7 weeks of stand by time. Marshmallow will also solve world peace.
When you wake up from fantasy land you still have to debloat and use better battery stats to find what is draining your battery. Amazing that you create so many threads for the same issue but don't take the advice given.

Standby time doesnt mean much. Its the SOT that matters. A phone is no good if the screen cant turn on because your battery is dead after 2 hours of screen on time. I wonder what kind of impact marshmallow is going to have. I doubt it would solve the problem
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I wonder why you refuse to learn what is truly causing the battery drain? Most of us get 3 to 4 hours and are quite happy. You just expect the answer to magically appear

Just migrate to Genisys ROM. The dev has done an incredible job on optimization. I was dealing with 2 hours SoT and with Genisys + mods by myself I got almost hours (in general 3~5 hours depending on brightness and used apps).
Indeed you have to listen to advice given by @tdevaughn there's no point for members to create multiple threads deprecating SoT if you don't even handle the problem.

I am busy downloading it now as I have heard that the battery is good on it. I am keen to try it out. How long does it take on the G4 to stabilise after wiping and flashing a new ROM? I have only just started to do the wiping etc but I have had the phone since July I have the international H815P variant if that makes any difference.

Freshly installed with few apps I got 5+ hours. Now with 30+ apps and 'normal' use it's about 3-4 hours SoT. Still good.
I'd say it takes a few days for overall system to have stable stats.

Oh mate realy?...Nobody say no or yes yet.If rolling out need minimum 2 weeks....This situaton only speculation now...

The evil here

To give a more serious reply from what I have read about Marshmallow they have put a lot of work into "Doze" which should boost standby time a fair bit at least for those that don't use apps like Greenify. So indirectly you might get a boost in SOT as you wont lose as much battery while the phone is idle. For people that are on their phone a lot I would expect no real improvement on screen on time. You can only so much with smart software when ultimately its a big power hungry device with only an okay sized battery.

Probably it will improve standby battery time, with "doze", and few more
IMHO G4 battery life is good right now

Hey everyone
I can confirm better standby time. 4% battery drain in 12 hours, which was under 5.1 ~10%. Can't say anything about Sot, because I have Marshmallow installed since yesterday. Good luck with gathering information
