Hey guys! So I recently just formatted my T700 via Odin to stock kitkat and then updated to lollipop via OTA. I also had the screen flicker/vertical lines problem and since I removed the back cover, cleaned the contacts, snug it in with some pressure, my tab has gained a new life. I just got the best battery life on this tablet since the day I got it (all stock, just rooted for some apps). Now my question is, what was the best battery life you got with the T700 and how ?
Cheers :highfive:
6 hours on iron ROM nothing else
With gaming and browsing on internet and let it cool down a few minutes
Well I guess I was wrong.. THIS is the best battery life on my tab s so far. I'm completely stupified on how I wasn't enjoying this tablet.

You do relize that you have Steam, A virus protector, and all those other Apps installed that eat away at your battery. Also have you taken into effect that coverage signal can affect your battery life to.
el29 has significantly increased battery life for me....
Your Android OS is exactly where is should be based on your display percent. If you actually turn your phone on in that time Android OS will start to drop and the display percent will start to move up...

It may be that your phone is not sleeping with the display off in some circumstances.
Probably all those background apps waking it up to check internet for updates.
You need to post your actual display on time also.
My battery life has suddenly dropped too since EL29. I updated and everything was great for a few days. One day I woke up and my battery was draining at about 10% an hour with no use. I've tried rebooting and it seemed to help a little but I'm still dropping at about 6% an hour where before update it was 3% an hour. No idea what's causing it and it was really odd how it came out of nowhere.
I asked somewhere in another thread for someone who had the skills to see if there was any major differences between EL26 and EL29 because I actually prefer EL26 but I figure they made 29 official for a reason

Stop using a nonsense app that does no good to your phone. Who in the world need anti-virus app for android. An't no hacker would spend time to come up with a virus that will steal your info. Some apps claim to do this and that but is just all BS. All you need is an app killer and that's it. If you have an app that is continue running ( other than the one require ) than of course is gonna drain the hell out of your battery and it will get hot.
I have a Seidio 3200 battery which was giving me almost 2 days of moderate use . Immediately, and I mean immediately, after the OTA my battery drain almost doubled according to my stats... I read XDA on the subject, and did a HARD factory reset witth DATA wipe.....no help. Thought maybe the battery was failing..so I ordered a 3800 Trexcell from EBAY. Then read the problem might be from a looping background app or a stuck radio....pulled the battery...waited 5 minutes...put te battery back and now I'm back to normal (if not better) battery drain....It might be that some of us who had OTA got a screwed-up install which affected background apps or radios, while some of us had a normal install...in either case... I'm happy to get my battery use back !

My Android OS usage is through the roof now, aka Android OS bug. I installed watchdog and it's the "suspend" and "events/0" processes running at 65-85% when the phone is supposed to be sleeping.
I have had this phone for 5 months without the Android OS bug. I installed EL29 on Feb 2nd. Everything was fantastic until Feb 5th then I suddenly noticed my battery draining faster than normal.
After spending about 3 hours reading up on the Android OS bug this morning I've come to the conclusion there is no remedy for this bug. Sadly Samsung has not fixed it and it's even happening to people with the Galaxy Nexus running ICS.

Same here. I am getting up to 24 hours with stock battery (syncing exchange as push, facebook and gmail), on strongsteve odexed blue rom.
It seemed like battery got better since the updates began (EK02, EL13) and then the battery drain got worse than ever with EL29. For comparison's sake I live in Chicago and work downtown during the day in a not so good cellphone environment for most of the day.
I reverted back to EL13 radio and Rogue's EL13 Repack Kernel, topped off with Calkulin's 2.8.1 ROM. Battery life seems to have returned back to normal, but Calk's ROM makes it that much better.
I plan on giving the battery removal trick a shot too tonight. Someone else on Rogue's or Calk's thread said that removing the battery after a full charge for 5 mins, then recharging again, made his battery back to normal if not better.
Here we go!!! My phone is almost complete!!!
It's not a bug...

A few months ago I had paranoid rom that was great on batt life. 3% loss from midnight till 6am.
I was blown away that I could use this phone so much and it hardly ever drain batt.
Kept telling me there was an update so I did and battery life went to hell...
Tried some others, Aokp and now liquid smooth. LOVE the Liquid smooth, but 25% over night is un-acceptable. this thing on the last few roms is constantly needing charged.
I tried restoring that one version of paranoid, but just wasnt the same.
so curious on suggestions on a better ROM or something.
There is no answer to this question. Different people have different preferences and experiences. If there was a ROM that was clearly better than the others, almost everyone would likely be running it.
Your best bet is to find out why your battery is draining. Use something like Better Battery Stats to figure out what apps may be draining your battery. Perhaps it is an app or two that is synchronizing a lot. Perhaps there are wakelocks.
Alternatively, it could also be hardware. Perhaps the battery is dying. Perhaps the USB port is having issues, and it wakes the device/screen up from time to time.
thanks cup... i just wiped and put that old one back on... will check it tonight. then ill put that better batts stats on.

You may want to start with trying a different kernel and see if that helps.

Hi guys,
Ihad posted earlier after taking the 4.3 update that my phone started to behave irregularly.
So, on the advice presented, i did a factory reset.
Phone behaves just fine but the horrible battery life still persists.
My battery level drops 40% in 5 hours. On 4.1.2, i could go 8 hours and still have 70% battery.
Is there something in 4.3 that drains the battery faster?
i am on stock, unrooted.
Should i reflash knox free/lorjay's rom to see if that brings my battery life back to what it used to be?
Any and all replies are much appreciated.

I get about 15-17 hours on 4.3 I just think it how much you use your phone.

I have noticed the same - 4.3 is a battery drain. the newest stuff never really works right on older phones, kinda wish i could go back.
I agree. My phone drains like crazy now and it takes like 5 hours to charge from 50 to 100%. I don't know what 4.3 did but I want my 4.1.2 back. My phone lasted 17 to 21 hours with the same use I do now. I now get about 10.
this is getting ridiculous...
my phone never goes into deep sleep anymore according to wake lock detector.
i want my battery life back.
how do i downgrade to 4.1.2??
Hello
I am currently on stock rooted rom on 4.4.2. I never bothered updating since it served my purposes of watching movies.
I need to gift my nexus to someone I know, so wanted to update and unroot before giving. Would anyone please tell me how the performance and battery life is on 6.0.1 stock (will be used unrooted most likely)? I have the Wifi 2013 nexus 7
I understand it may be too obvious of an answer butI searched the thread but could not find an answer. Been away from xda for a long time. Good to be back!
I have owned my Nexus 7 since Christmas it came with 6.0.1 Marshmallow installed and I am very happy with the performance and battery life. I don't know how it compares with an n7 running 4.4.2 but I have had plenty of android devices in the past 5 years all rooted etc so know good from bad. Just be aware that some n7 owners have had issues with firmware updates leading to bricked tablets. I would say go for it, do a full wipe first though and maybe use the excellent Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. Enjoy.
Pretty Great!
I am not running stock. I am on Commotio by TeamVanir and I get 1-2% discharge on standby during 12-16hours and when I am using it and watching youtube over wifi or just general browsing on reddit and google plus or chrome I get around 5-7hrs of SOT. My tablet is around 2 years old now and I used to charge once every 3 days so its battery is also not what it used to be when it was new.
Stock rooted, I use about 8%/hour (reading, internet connected, dim screen), about 10%/hour browsing the web, dim screen). I routinely let it sit on a Qi charger when not it use, so can't comment on the standby time. Subjectively, much better than I saw on KK.
I just updated mine recently to Marshmallow from Kit Kat as well. I had an issue on 6.0.1 with standby battery drain being about %10 overnight, even though it appeared to enter doze correctly. I couldn't identify any wakelocks that accounts for this drain.
I switched to 6.0.0 and it's much better now, completely same settings and apps. Overnight, it's probably a 1.5% loss, if that. Overall, battery performance is improved. But for me, 6.0.1 didn't work out. Not quite sure why.

When you flash a new build you have to wait for a couple of charge recharge cycles until it correctly displays the battery. On a different ROM normally i lose 1% per hour on standby but after just updating and for the first few cycles even in dozd I loose more than 10% and sometimes even 50% during the night but it settles down after a charge cycle.

Good information, thanks! I had already given it a couple weeks and few discharges, but I'd be willing to try again and hope it will work itself out.
But is the performance better or worse? And is rooting / unlocking still no problem?
I have the sm-t700, it is a great old tablet but the battery drain if terrible. I have tried the newest stock room along with the most current lineage and resurrection rooms. I haven't noticed much difference. Does anyone use one of the older rooms? What does everyone think the best room is for battery life?
If you have so terrible drain, you must look for battery replacement. Stock ROMs will drain your battery even more. Also, look carefully if you use apps preventing your tab from proper deep sleep.
I just ordered a replacement battery, haven't had to replace a tablet battery in years

The best rom is to buy a battery. I recommend Newpower 99, I myself bought one and the result is new tablet ... 8,9, 10 hours of easy screen
Custom ROM e.g Resurrection Remix based on Lineage OS! LJ
