Hi all,
Here is what happens.
I charge my phone (N7100, 4.1.2 stock rom, rooted) until it says "remove charger", I remove the charger, then I use it for say 20 minutes. When I reboot the battery usage counter resets and starts from zero. So I can only get the stats since boot.
Then I continue to use the phone for two hours, reboot it, and this time the counter shows one hour of usage, missing one hour
I continue to use it this way, then reboot it after 3 hours, this time the counter continues correctly from previous time.
There is no standard pattern I could make sense of (i.e. percentage, usage time). I never had this problem in my previous xperia ray wt. ginderbread. I bought this phone (N7100 international version) a week ago, updated when I saw the notification, then did a factory reset to start clean, rooted and flashed TWRP with note2 toolkit.
Everything else works a like a charm.
Thanks in advance for any opinion and forgive my English if I took a lot of your time to explain a simple problem.
Hi again,
I have found the exactly-same problem discussed and left unsolved last year in this thread in xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348438
The battery stats are not kept "across boots" as google describes in the function of batterystats.bin.
Should I wipe the battery stats in twrp after charging to 100%, or is there anything else I can try first?
(e.g. changing certain permissions or editing a file)
Any help will be appreciated.
It resets battery Stats whenever it reaches full.
You can try reseting it manually for once.
If your recovery has the option to do it, then it is very much outdated, I would recommend you to update to the latest ASAP.

Hello, new to the forums here. I recently updated to 4.4.2 on my LG Optimus G Pro and I went from having a battery that lasted all day, sometimes two days to my phone being dead by the time I get home from work for the day ever since the update.
Two days ago I had 1hr18min of screen time within a 6 hours off the charger and the phone was at 15% battery life left. Today, I had 13 minutes of on screen time and at the end of my 6 hour shift my phone was at 40% and dead a few hours after I got home. I have GPS, bluetooth, NFS all disabled and my brightness set to 30%.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm thinking of doing a factory reset and just not updating to the new version of android when it prompts.
Thanks

Get betterbatterystats and see if you phone deep sleeps. If not then check what the wakelocks are in partial wakelocks. If it's a kernel problem maybe you need to flash a different kernel.

i am running stock phone. it is not rooted or anything
Same exact battery drain problem. Im on stock e980 rom (rooted) with no custom kernel.
Gsam battery monitor app is showing the kernel as keeping my phone wake for the entire time my phone has been unplugged.
The problem seems to come and go though. One day itll be fine, but another day the battery will be sucked dry fast.

I'm running stock rooted for e980 and have pretty good battery life .... Try clearing Google play services data and rebooting ... Check and see what's draining your battery mol its pretty easy

I've done this twice in the past 3 days....
I'm sick of having to set up my phone over and over again. And this is a new phone too. I just got it Monday under warranty because my old phone broke.
It's getting annoying. I used to get 14-17hrs+ of battery life (casual use, usually ending the day at 30-50% too, so I never even reached 0%) with my old phone on Jelly Bean. Now with Kitkat, I get around 6 hours if I'm lucky! According to Wakelock detector, my phone is awake 85%+ of the day! All it points to is Kernel (Android OS). I see lots of Wlan_wake triggers too, so I suspect wifi, but even with wifi off, the drainage still occurs. And I only have a 2GB data plan shared between 3 people, so it's not like I can just use data all the time either. I actually NEED wifi.

do you have an SD card installed? Maybe you can try to remove that and get rid of all other media from your phone storage. Might be a media scanner problem? Or maybe you can try to disable auto sync, and check if Google play services is the culprit.

The media scanner usually shows up in the battery stats window though, and it isn't. I've had a corrupted SD card on my tablet once before and it caused media scanner to go berserk, but the Mediascanner entry appeared under Settings>Battery as the highest battery consumer.
In this case of my phone right now, it is Android OS in Settings>Battery. According to Wakelock detector, GSam, and BetterBatteryStats, it's more specifically Kernel.

Have you tried reflashing your firmware, instead of just doing a factory reset?
I assume you are rooted since you are using BBS and wake lock detector on KK. Why not flash a custom rom?

Hi i had the same problem as you but i started digging inside the system of the phone i found the problem but you will require root access. If you have root you have to delet a lib file tand it carrier iq wich run in background and drains your battery the file to delete is libiq_client.so do that and you will see an increase in battery life

I did this on Tuesday or Wednesday.
... I messed something up on my phone while trying to install a custom recovery, so I was basically forced to reinstall everything. I'm on stock ATT e980 ROM (on an E980) + root. I reflashed the Jelly Bean tot file and then did the OTA update with no apps installed.
On the phone that got warrantied, I had flashed the E980 kitkat backup (now has a flashable version too), and the battery life seemed to be much better on it for about a week, and then the issues started there too.
I just rebooted the phone into recovery and wiped cache and Dalvik cache. Many people on Kitkat are reporting that this helps, but only for about 2 days then the issue returns. Obviously, I want a permanent solution.

Yes, I'm rooted and I absolutely hate custom roms. They take out all the features of the phone that I originally bought the phone for, like Smart Screen, the IR remote (yes, I know it can be ported), and the quick memo button. Plus I used custom ROMs on my old SGS2 and they always caused me tons of problems. Crashes, overheating, random reboots, random SODs, etc etc etc. Plus I hate the AOSP feel. I know it's true Android, but I just don;t like it.

I'm still getting more than usual battery drain, but it is better now.
I just got a replacement OEM LG battery, so I will try that to see if maybe the battery is defective. When I got my phone replaced under warranty, they didn't have batteries in stock, so they just gave me back my old one and ordered me a knew one. The old phone was overheating a lot too, so maybe the battery is bad.
UPDATE: OK, MUUUUUUUUUCH better battery now!
I put in that new battery and "recalibrated" it by draining it to 0% and charging with the power off. Once it reached 100%, I let it charge an extra hour, unplugged, and started up the phone.
I also installed Qualcomm Snapdragon's Battery Guru. I set it up so that it's mostly managing app syncing, but I also set it up so that it will not rely on location services to turn on/off my wifi. I don't want to leave my location services on all the time. I don't know how it is on Kitkat, but on older Android versions (ICS and GB), leaving GPS on was a huge battery drainer! I still treat location like it was back then.
Anyways, it will take a few days for the app to learn my usage patterns, but it's already helping by making certain apps only sync when I open them, etc. I suspect that all the wlan_wake wakelocks are being caused by auto-sync but I'm reluctant to turn it completely off since i rely on it to sync my work schedule, calendar, etc between my phone and tablet. I just wish there was a system setting to allow auto-sync to run every X hours or something. I really only need the sync to run every 6 hours or so.
It's been about 35mins now with 6mins of screen time and the phone is still at 100%. A few text messages and the installation of Battery Guru too. This is normal and how things used to be. After a while, the phone will most likely go to 99% and then have faster drain, but it shouldn't be so rapid like before. Earlier today, after 30mins, the battery would be at at least 95% or lower by now! After a full day, the battery usage graph would should a 45 degree angle too! It used to be an almost level, very gradual angle instead.
I should also mention that for a while, I was using a Zero Lemon slim battery (3150mAh). I bought it because of all the hype Zero Lemon was getting here on XDA, but I really regret it now. I used it for 2 weeks (1 week on my broken phone and 1 week on my replacement) and the drain wasn't consistent, even after several calibration attempts. It lasted me all day though, but I'd be stuck at maybe 3% for like an hour, then while in deep sleep, the battery would "magically charge" to 6%.
After I swapped back to the OEM battery, I don't think I recalibrated, so I wonder if my phone thought I was still using the Zero Lemon.
I'm planning to return the Zero Lemon.
UPDATE2: It's been a couple hours now and the Android OS is starting to retreat from the #1 slot in the battery consumption list!
Screen is #1 now and Android OS went from 65% usage to 14%! :good: :good:
UPDATE3: :crying: OK, it's broken again. I didn't do anything to the phone, but when the phone hit 50%, I left it alone for 2 hours and the battery drained 30% while it was supposed to be sleeping. Android OS is back up to 80% usage!
Wifi on, Location off, Bluetooth off, auto-sync on. I'm trying auto-sync off today to see if there's any dramatic improvement.
UPDATE4: I might be on to something now. I noticed 2 things: 1st, when the screen is off and the phone is SUPPOSED to be in deep sleep, the back of the phone stays warm to the touch. It wasn't hot, but it was warm enough to be noticeable. 2nd, I had System Tuner installed yesterday but uninstalled it this morning. Despite uninstalling and rebooting, the phone was still draining battery fast (I still lost 25% in 2 hours today!). I noticed that System Tuner had added a script to System/etc/init.d, so I deleted that and rebooted. Now the phone seems to be sleeping (says so in BetterBatteryStats and WakeLockDetector), and the back of the phone is COLD to the touch when doing so. I took a shower today (I take fairly long showers too LOL), and then checked my email, and the battery life didn't decrease at all during that time while it was asleep.
Obviously, I need to test this throughout the day now, but this is definite progress, if not the solution.
Also, on my warrantied phone, when I had the Zero Lemon battery inserted, battery drain was high (battery's fault), so I installed System Tuner then too, trying to tweak the phone. After switching back to the stock battery, the drain remained, but most likely due to System Tuner's script.
Then when I got my replacement phone, I ALSO installed System Tuner and of course, I got battery drain issues! I factory reset, but did not install System Tuner, but the problem still remained. However, it probably remained because the reset doesn't remove system files, so this script was still in the init.d folder.
FINAL: I ended up flashing the stock ROM again (I used Eazy Kat 1.0 this time). My phone began bugging out on me. Random crashes here and there, mobile data randomly disappearing (no LTE/4G/3G at all), and worst of all, people were having difficulty hearing me during calls. Reflashing seems to have worked perfectly this time. *knock on wood*
FYI: The last flashes I did, I used .tot files to flash back to stock Jelly Bean and then updated to Kitkat via OTA.

I stumbled across this post and tried that fix. I'll check back in later to see what it does.
Hi All,
My predicament appears a bit special. From my searches I haven't found anyone that is quite like it. My Tab S 10.5 in is brand new, I've only had it for a week. I've updated 5.02, and I don't really have any idea how the battery life was prior to that update because I updated it as soon as I got it out of the box (which to me, was a grave mistake now...).
My Samsung Tab S is draining battery, but it is draining because of "Android OS" keeping my tablet 100% awake. when I say 100% awake, I mean in the awake bar it is completely solid with absolutely no breaks. I am rooted, and have tried BBS and Wakelock detector and they give me the same information. Tablet is 100% awake, and never ever gears down to "Deep Sleep". There are absolutely zero wakelocks present, kernel or partial (which is peculiar, I don't know why they aren't showing at all, they used to show when I first installed BBS and activated root). However, a peculiar thing is this isn't 100% consistent. I've had the tablet for 6 days as of today, and only 2/6 days did Android OS do this massive drain. The latest drain was last night, where between 5:00PM and 4:00AM it drained 81% of its battery. At around 4:00AM suddenly the Tab went into "Deep Sleep". What is the problem?
Prior to going to sleep at 11:00PM~ I enabled every single Samsung app via the Application manager in settings. I suppose Samsung finally finished downloading and syncing all the bloatware and **** it wanted to do, and finally let my tablet got to sleep by 4:00AM.
How do I determine what is keeping my tablet awake? Obviously Wakelock Detector and BBS has been absolutely no help thus far. Is anyone else having this problem? I need this tablet to be more reliable. I can't exit my house at the beginning of the day, not use it at all and jsut have it at 0 percent by night.
If you are going to advise flashing a custom rom/kernel, I will be doing so in the near future (once I get something settled), but as of right now it is a no go solution. I want to exactly pinpoint what my problem is, so that one day if I do happen to remain stock I can actually deal with the drain.
Some may say it is the Google Play services bug, but I have tried using "Disable Services" app to prevent this, and no change so far.
Why not just factory reset or downgrade to kitkat?
I have a specific game that my gf was playing that needed to be cracked through the obb files.
I know I can backup the apk+save data as I've done it numerous times on my Nexus 5, but I'd rather not risk losing her save data due to corruption or whatnot.
Also avoiding 5.02 lollipop/factory reset "may" be a solution but is not guaranteed. I want to know precisely what is happening, so that if the same thing occurs along in the future I don't have to downgrade/factory reset to remedy it.
Do you have any alarms or timers set, also an syncs can stop your tablet sleeping.
Have you tried "Deep Sleep Battery Saver" it controls the cpu and forces it to sleep when you tune the tablet off, it need root to work.

John.
I don't recall setting any alarms/timers. BBS also does not indicate any Alarms in the alarms section.
Sync has been turned off.
I tried Deep Sleep Battery Saver already on aggressive mode, no change (at the time).
Like I said, my tablet suddenly was able to deep sleep after 8 hours... I'm just thinking of alternatives to try when the drain returns since it has visited me twice.
I would install the free watchdog app and use setup to include all processes and wait for any apps to use a lot of cpu power and it will sound an alarm, you can whitelist any games or app you dont want it to monitor.

I lost lost 30% in 3 hours while my tab was in it`s case during the night, luckily i had an battery monitor app set to check for high battery temps and sound an alarm, else my battery would of been flat by the morning.
EDIT: My 10.5 has never been rebooted or turned off since i got it, the battery manger says it`s been on for 157days.

My advice is to do a full back up with twrp and titanium backup(to the sd card)
Factory reset then see how it goes. If the issue is gone you know where the problem lies. Add back your apps in gradual fashion with titty backup and see if any cause the issue.
You could always restore everything if there is no change.
EDIT : CRAP - Somebody on this forum suggested to use Helium to do a backup, never tried it, but i bookmarked it just in case i need it.

+1 on this. Never used Helium but Titanium backup has been flawless for me. I would highly recommend that instead.
I was trying to avoid a full wipe. I've done backing up with Titianium Backup and ES File Explorer numerous times on my nexus 5.
Thanks for the input guys. I will try the Watchdog app as well.
The full wipe is just a test . It'll take only a few minutes to do a full device backup with twrp.You can then restore at will and be back to where you started. Anybody who has a custom recovery should have at least one full backup.

Exactly. One of the first things I do with every phone or tablet i purchase is root, install TWRP and take a full nandroid backup as well as install Titanium backup and backup everything. I know it may be a bit over the top but it ensures I can always get back to a clean slate or restore original state of apps. Highly recommend this as it will allow you to experiment and then return to last known state if you mess something up. If you do this, you really have nothing to lose.
As an update and for reference, the Android OS drain wouldn't stop. When I got home from work yesterday and unplugged @ 5:00PM battery was at 100%. With almost zero use, the battery had completely discharged by 4:00AM in the morning, and was overheating like crazy at 100% awake time. I couldn't take it any longer and had to do my wipe.
Things to note if someone could elaborate:
1) Prior to my wipe, I noticed that there was several issues with storage. I could not take screenshots due to "Unable to save screenshot due to storage space, app permissions or your organization", which none of the above is true. Why did this occur?
2) Prior to my wipe, I tried downloading a ROM via Chrome browser and the error "Download unsuccessful" appeared. I tried downloading the same ROM via Opera browser and it would download, but hang at 100% and I could not even find the file anywhere on my internal/external storages. Why is that?
3) I did a factory reset via TWRP. The first bootup after factory reset had me seriously worried as I thought my tablet had bricked. It took almost 5 minutes or so just to boot up. It was all fine and dandy - except the wakelock was still present. My tablet stayed awake for the entire 5 minute duration I tested (which is a small sample size and is a totally unfair sample, but I didn't have the patience to see my battery heat up due to 100% awake time). At this point in time, the screenshot function is now working again.
4) I proceeded to flash IronMan ROM, and wiped dalvik/cache right after the flash. What was extremely peculiar to me was that after my dalvik/cache wipe, the tablet rebooted instantly itself. I've never had TWRP do that. Every time I did a dalvik/cache wipe, it always informs me that the wipe is successful, and that I can go back to TWRP for more options. The reboot was unsuccessful as well, and hanged at the "Samsung Tab S powered by Android" logo, and wouldn't even proceed to the Samsung logo.
5) I rebooted into TWRP, did a factory reset cause I assumed there was something buggy with the IronMan ROM. When trying factory reset, an error popped up saying E/could not mount cache. The reset still proceeded though. Did a reboot after the reset finished and the same first boot took almost 5-10 minutes thinking my Tab S is bricked. It finally booted, and it appeared that the factory reset via TWRP didn't restore the tablet to Lollipop stock (which I assumed it would...). It was on IronMan ROM. Does anyone know how the factory reset works on TWRP? Should it have been Lollipop?
6) I rebooted just to check the boot time, and it rebooted in the normal 15 second span about so that's good. Screenshot function was still working. And most importantly....the tablet in just a 5 minute test deep sleeped for 4 mins and was awake for the 1st minute i was using it. Even after a 50 minute test, it deep sleeped for 45 minutes and was awake for 5 minutes. Which leads me to believe there is some sort of bloatware on the stock that Ironman removed, and is finally letting my tablet go to bed.
Can someone answer the plethora of questions in my procedure?
So I got my M9 last year the day it launched and haven't really had any problems up until this year. The battery started draining really fast lasting only a couple hours so I had the battery replaced inside it. The battery life is a little better now but now it's overheating, like getting pretty hot to the touch even with minimal use and especially gets really hot when charging it. This is really worrying me and I was wondering if anyone has had issues similar to this or if anyone has any advice on what I should do to maybe help resolve this issue. Thank you to anyone and everyone for your help.
Anyone?

No haven't done that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that because I don't want to lose all my data. I'm not sure how a factory reset would help since this only started after I got a new battery for this phone.
I just started having this problem today. Gets really hot (112 degrees) and the battery is draining super fast. I tried rebooting, but when that didn't work I tried wiping the dalvik cache and cache, but still having the same problem. Did you ever get it figured out?

I am having the same problem on 2 M9s as well for the past few days. One running a custom ROM and 1 running stock ROM. One of the phones has been off the charger for 2 hours. I have just sent 1 text message in the time and the battery has gone from 100 to 52%
I have cleared cache and dalvic but the problem persists. Any recommendations?
This problem just started for me yesterday. I noticed the phone was plugged up at 20% only reached 45% after 3 hours . I ejected my SD card and did a factory reset. I booted back up and started updating my apps. Everything seemed to be fixed until I started installing my missing apps and it started again. From 63% at 1am to dead before 6am with no use at all. I'm going to factory reset again and see where it gets me. If I find a solution, i'll post it. Good luck.
I ended up doing a factory reset and installing Fluent Rom (I was on stock rooted MM). The first time I did it I told it to reinstall my apps and settings during setup, but the problem was still there after I got it set up. So I did the factory reset again and re-flashed the rom, but this time I didn't restore my apps and settings. I just let it go and treated it like it was a brand new phone and everything has been fine for the last couple days. Temp is down to 85-90F on idle and charging (and battery life) are back to normal. Hope that helps.
I am having the exact same issue. It just started two days ago. I had the chance to get a new phone through the Uh Oh program, and the new one is also having the same issue as soon as I updated it to Marshmallow
Update, i'm still having the same problem. I've factory reset from Sense and from Recovery Mode numerous times. I've even wiped my cache a few times. The problem always comes back when I start installing apps. FB, Fenix, IG, Google Keyboard, Soundcloud, MX Player. By the time I get this far, i'm already over heating. I'll reset and leave it stock and see what happens.
Same here used the uh oh program got a new phone s offed and running venom rom and used titanium backup to get rid of alot of apps
It has cooled down for now but ill see

Update with possible Solution
So like I posted earlier, I reset my phone to factory multiple times. After some trial and error, I realized that if my apps remained Stock, the battery was fine. Even If I installed 3rd party stuff like Facebook, Ig and Fenix, the battery was fine. Once I updated all the stock apps to current the battery took a nosedive. So after leaving all the core apps stock, I updated one at a time until the battery took a nose dive. The one App that seemed to cause my battery to take a nose dive was HTC Car. Stock, it was fine. Once I updated it, everything went down hill. Once I uninstalled the updates, everything went back to normal.
So if you've run in the same problem I have, try and uninstall the updates for HTC Car and see if that works. If not, go back to factory and update the stock apps one at a time like I did until one causes the nosedive.
Hello.
I've bought a G4 in March and only 20 days ago I've started to notice a odd and big battery drain. Android tells me it's "Android SO" consumption. What once drained like up to 5%, now drains more than screen. 20 days ago, battery lasted like 34h. With same usage now, turned 12h.
I've uninstalled the apps I've installed meanwhile, used it in battery eco mode and even on airplane mode, without any luck.
4-5 days ago I've installed Wake Lock Detector (no root, but with the right permissions) and Better Battery Stats. From what I understand from the reports, they don't blame any specific app but show thousands of wakelocks on Android SO. I believe sometimes it can be normal (for instance, when I run with GPS and music). Anyway, maybe the issue lies here.
What I find really odd is that those 2 apps say that the phone is awake more than 90% of the time. Like 1h of deep sleep only per full battery.
I could understand if someone says that it's the battery that had a great use already, but not only has 7 months of use, but also the phone behaviour changed (Android SO was never so high before, at least constantly).
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Suggest you check out and install the apps recommended apps on ✭[GUIDE][26-07-2016]Extreme Battery Life Thread(Greenify+Amplify+Power Nap)✭ at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Read the OP thoroughly for each app discussed. The wakelock situation can be helped a good deal with Amplify and Greenify in particular - the paid versions - but I would also install AppOppsXposed - all require Xposed which requires root in order to be installed and I would also check out Power Nap to see if any incremental improvement.
You may a also want to run a malware scan ...
Thanks for the info. I checked it earlier, but most of those apps only run in root phones. I'm waiting for official Nougat in G4, mostly because haven't saw yet a Nougat image for this device without any problems, like camera not working, or such. I wouldn't mind to pay for apps that could work on this, but I want to avoid rooting. I guess I rather put Android 7, that has a bigger chance to even solve this problem, than root at this time.
Haven't said earlier but did a factory reset yesterday and device kept the behavior... I believe a hard reset would reduce almost to 0 the eventual malware problem.
No obvious alternatives for not rooted phones? Haven't this happened to someone else and been solved?
Thanks!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago...i was loosing ~30% of the battery at night with no wifi/data/gps etc. I tried everything...factory resets, different roms, greenfy & those kind of apps but the phone would not sleep. The last thing i tried was a factory reset and after i logged into my gmail account i set the phone as a new device...so no restoring apps and backups from my gmail account. Now everything is ok, my phone sleeps like a baby. I've read somewhere that it might be related with the syncing & backups....i don't really know, but you can give it a try.

Haven't tried that yet. I'll try to remove and add the device again, to avoid the pain of a new hard reset.
To have a reference, it was good to know an average percentage of other G4 deep sleep. If everyone has around 90%... maybe it's not a problem at all. The "sleep like a baby" is which percentage? Also, there are plenty babies that wake up hourly crying for a period of time...
Thanks for the tip!

My phone was awake >90% of the time(when screen was off), even in flight mode, when it had "the problem". Now things are back to normal...~2% awake when the screen is off.
Hello again.
Tried to reset a couple more times, tried to remove old phone register in my gmail account, but I wasnt successful.
How you did the
"The last thing i tried was a factory reset and after i logged into my gmail account i set the phone as a new device..."
?
Once it asks for my account, I'm not able to set it's a new device. I also did no restores... Is there a way to disconnect devices from Google account? I was only able to do so in devices I connected like one month, or more, ago, but not able to do so in the device I'm using at the moment.
One thing I did not try but that would confirm your thesis is to register device with a new account.
Anyone with an alternative?
I'm hoping LG really releases Nougat for G4 in 2017...
Today, the device returned to normality without any intervention. I can only imagine the following: since last factory reset I've disabled some apps I didn't used, like Google books, or Google music, but only yesterday I did a normal reboot (due to huge battery drain...). Eventually, some updates just took place after this reset. Anyway, even having imagined this theory, I don't believe in it. Wizardry, I bet.
