Hey guys i have been facing a problem with battery draining recently and also slow charging. When my phone is Idle i can lose up to 30% overnight(also battery draining fast with light using). I even factory reseted. Nothing fixed. Second Problem is slow charging. I calibrated the battery with an app and used a new charger and it takes 3 hours to charge. Isnt that still a lot time?Before it took like 10 hours from 4% to 100.
In Battery usage when im not using phone there is 51% "phone is idle" and 14% is "Mobile waiting"(cant post pic-new member) Any solutions? Why my battery is draining like crazy when Idle? Thanks in Advance.
Check also the USB cable. I had the same problem of slow charging and since the cable is crimped and not soldered it becomes "inefficient" (but still works) after some time.
About the battery life maybe it's going to die...

id check in battery settings and see whats using it first
your screen should be number 1 sitting anywhere from say 35 40 % or higher
you want your screen percentage as high as possible
which means apps and services arent using as much.
mine sits around 65 % screen usage with android and chrome being next highest on my device which is ok cause im always on chrome.
now for the slow charging try diffrent cables and chargers and check to see if any damage or debris in usb port
all this unles the battery is truly going bad and just cant charge and or hold charge anymore

As i said when my phone is dle, 51% of battery is taken from the "phone idle" and 14% from "cell standby" Anything you think can cause that?

Standby is time without signal if im not mistaken.
Next would be like trying wakelock detector or better batter stats to check ure wake locks cause sound like phones not going to sleep at all

Yea thats a lot. Wakelock detect can work without root on some decices. Install the lite edition and foolow the instrucs in th3 app. I have done it in a while but its a few adb commands i think. Nothin to bad to set up no root needed

Thanks i will try. But shouldn't the problem have been fixed after i factory reseted the phone? Does it matter if i factory reset from phone settings? I will let you know what happens after my phone charges.

Other thing i do is boot into safe mode and leave it there for a while. A day or two and thattll tel you if its in the system or a after market app. Then one by one reenable all your apps. But i prefer wakelock. How old is ypur battery and ure charging habbits

I will try to leave it in safe mode while im sleeping. If it still draining i will try to use the wakelock detector. My battery also is about 1.5 years old and i used to charge maybe once every 2 days. Now SOT is maybe 1-1.30 hours lol its draining like crazy when im not using it. Also it bootlooped once and got a motherboard replacement some months ago. I really need to find what is causing that. Ive tried everything like factory reset, wipe apps data, leave the phone in plane mode while sleeping.. Nothing fixed it.

Id try all that but sounds like time for a new battery. Theyre less than 10 dollars. And thats almost as old as mine mines about to that point but charges really fast and inget about 1.8 sot.

I just got my GS3 about four days ago.I noticed just like many people out there, that my battery wasn't lasting as long.After some research I found that doing a factory reset solved the problems.I'm getting 15+ hours now with moderate to slightly heavy use. Before I did this my battery would lose 40% with very light to moderate use in about 1hr 30mins.
No root.
Settings>Back up and reset>factory reset>wait for reboot>set up phone(just the initial setup)>turn off>remove battery and reinsert>boot back up (this is what I did)
How my phone was setup(sync,use etc.)
This is without power saving mode.
GPS: off
Wifi: on,because I havent gone out much these last few days(but off when I do)
Brightness:No more than 20% usually at 10%
I live in a LTE area just in case.
Moderate texting.
No gaming.
1 Call for about 30mins.
Moderate to heavy browsing.
Skype call for about 30mins.
Bluetooth: only on during 30min call.
Apps that sync:
Scope:every hour(syncs tumblr and facebook)
Facebook:every 2 hours
Weather:every 6 hours
Google account sync is on.
Email syncs once a day.
I barely receive gmail so I only get a notification from it once or twice a day.
During the night my phone lost about 14% (45% to 31%).
DISCLAIMER:I CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK EVEN THOUGH FOR A DECENT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IT HAS,DON'T BLAME ME IF IT DOESN'T AND FOR THE TIME LOST IN YOU TRYING THIS.
Its still good to give it a try.
thats sad as heck man, you ruining a good phone doing all that, either man up get a new extended battery or root your phone and undervolt that crap.

See the awake bar on your battery screenshot? That means your phone was on all day and night; it never went into deep sleep mode. When your phone is awake it uses practically the same amount of battery with the screen off as it would with the screen on, minus the display usage.

This was just for testing purposes I understand that without all that the phone would last much longer. But its a GS3 so I wanted to see what it was capable of. My thinking is if it got 15+ hours with all those things auto updating imagine without.
I lose 1% an hour in standby. Maybe slightly less. Tuchmi with faux. Samsung garbage removed.
That whole post is pointless.
Charging up while phone off to see if there's any battery improvement.

Strange thing is even with the wake lock it got 15hrs. Shouldn't disabling the auto updates solve that? If not I think the wake lock was due to the cell standby bug.

It should still sleep unless you are constantly updating every minute you have something else going on. Cell standby is just a measurement bug. Even if you patch it your battery life will be the same. When I let mine go without charging I got the same screen time but over a day between charges so you are losing probably 25% or so from it.

Horrible Battery!
Rooted my SG3 and have noticed a large battery drain. Unplugged from charging to a full charge and left phone off and it sat on standby mode. 3 hours later after NO USE it is down 20%. This doesn't seem normal. 29% is due to cell standby and 25% is android OS. On Wifi at home too, so I don't think its struggling for signal. Any ideas?
Hello there,
I've a new G4 since last friday and I'm experiencing a really strange battery drain.
Let's say I will charge my phone to 100% and than leave it idle, it will start discharging really slowly with all syncs active (for example last night it lost 2% in 8 hours). That's cool.
The problem is that as soon as I start using it again it will drain really fast, like 1% every 2 minutes. What is strange is that after start using it it will drain fast (1% every 10 minutes) even if i will let it idle again, so screen off and same operations as the 2% lost during 8h in the night.
At the moment I'm in Germany and I've experienced same drain ratio under good and bad cell signal and wifi. My model is H815. I'm not rooted so I cannot see good statistics in BBS.
I've already tried a factory reset.
Thanks everyone fo the help
I would start with checking the battery information inside settings. In there it will give the biggest battery drains. If you're lucky, you'll see something else up top that is not Android System, Android OS, or the screen.

Try disabled sync while using others app to see the outcome
I have the same problem. That's why I have a spare battery + charging cradle + power bank. Maybe I'll need to flash again since my device is not acting normally.

Today it seems better, only stuff I've changed is that I've disabled the quick cirlce cover since I don't have it but I don't think is related. At the momento I'm at 50% after 7h of wich 2h and 15min of screen time. Seems good to me.
I will go on testing during the weekend and I will report back. I hope the culprits are not rocket player (and mediaserver sice my music is on the SD card) but I've noticed a higher battery drain when using it. (today I haven't that much)
Those are some very good stats so far. Poised to hit 4h on the dot for SoT which is considered the expected average
I had to use a different launcher rather than the stock one and also a quick circle app and that was it

i think that is just reindexing of content on the sd card. It is temporary. It could also mean that your sd card is going bad and more reads were required.

I've tested the card and seems good, It's strange that is still indexing it, I've the phone since one week now.
The charge after the one that seemed ok was totally bad. I'll investigate more
Thanks everyone
If you add files or remove them then i think it triggers indexing. Leave it for a while it should go away after some time.
if it does not try a different card. I only use the red sandisk class 10 cards, these give the least problems.

This of course is way, way too long.
Usually this is because of a corrupt/unreadable/unknown file on the external SD. Copy all files to PC, format the card, restore files. The media scanner will now end it's process in a matter of minutes :good:
So I've investigated a bit during the past few days, those are the results:
- Media server is not anymore keeping the device awake that much
- It seems that RocketPalyer is using a lot of CPU compared to what it was doing on my Note 3.
- Battery drain still seems a bit random, yesterday for example i got 16 hours with 4h and 3min of screen time, today I'm already at 56% after 5h and only 1h and 20min of screen time (I'ìve not changed what I did with the device that much, and I'm under same network and wifi as yesterday at work)
I think that if I want to understand why sometimes is acting weird I will have to root and use wakelock detectors, btw now that I saw that the device is not faulty (I was able to get good battery time on some days) I'm not afraid that much anymore to root it.
Thanks everyone

I got my OP3 on 17th June....since then I can see that my battery draining very fast.... Its like draining 15% overnight (within 8-9 hours) there's nothing running in background except facebook, truecaller ... I tried factory reset twice but same problem.... also playing high end games like asphalt 8 will run down battery from 100 to 10% within an hour, with device getting too hot ...
Is it the fault in my OP3, or it is normal?
Should I replace my device.... I still can return my device to amazon (before 27th June).... Plz suggest guys...

I don't think it's Normal. In the initial 1-2 days it can behave weirdly and disappointing but post that things should come to order. But your situation sounds chaotic my friend. Try some app which can give battery stats so that you will know for sure whether it's some software setting messing up or hardware problem.
r u rooted, if so u can download wakelock detector b/c something is running in the background, i only drop about 4% or 5% in an 8hr period, or what shows that is being used the most on settings>battery, i don't think it may be a defect i think its something that could have been installed that is causing ur device not to sleep properly

Hey...im faceing same issue and also im rooted plese give me some suggestions..
I'm going through the same problem. If you check the battery stats, you'll notice that Android System is continuously working the cpu. This, in turn, is causing the battery to drain quick. I tried turning off every setting, turning off sync, even disabling apps like Hangouts and Photos but nothing worked. Even after 2-3 charge cycles, it was the same. Standby time was good but the moment I picked it up to use it, the drain kicked in.
I have already requested a replacement. My return pickup is scheduled for today but the replacement won't be shipping until after 27th June when the phone will be back in stock.
My battery life been good so far, some LTE and mostly WiFi, browsing and played some dokkan.
Apologies for double post, thought this would also help provide more info, I do have greenify and amplify, xposed installed.
Can somebody analyse my OP3 Battery stats and tell me whther I should go for replacement OR is it normal??? (Pics attached)
Is there any tool/app to test battery performance.....?

For greenify, i used xposed and paid donation for pro features.
Greenify + Xposed: Select any apps you want hibernated and enable the following:
Wakeup timer coalescing, telephony wakeup, dont remove notifications, GCM push for greenified apps.
Amplify: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Follow this guide, only select ones you want though as some could break push notifications and location service.
Hope this helps!

I think your battery life is good in my opinion, seeing as over a 24 hour period you have had just over 2 hrs SoT and still over 20% battery life.

From screenshot, it seems that you have around 25-30% battery left with around 2.5h of SOT and device was up for almost 18h without charge. That's decent in my opinion. By the time it reaches 1-2% you would have gained 1 more hour of sot. Also usage of apps matter from one person to another.
At 22% I started played a 3d cricket game... after about 20-25 min of play ... the battery is down to 13% ... Is it normal ?

That's 9% or around 22% per hour. Seems pretty normal.
Disable bluethoot and wifi scanning in location settings.
First two days I had the phone it had great battery. I was getting 16-18 hours of life with 4-6 sot. Now the last two days at work it's worse than my op2. By the time I got home yesterday I was at like 35%. Previous days I was well over 60.My android system is taking most of the blame. On my good days it was at like 8% when the phone would die. Right now with my phone at 79% it's already at the top with 5%. I've barely used the phone while I'm at work right now. It's been unplugged for 3 hours and my sot is 35 minutes. Not sure if it's got something to do with the ambient display. Maybe finger print scanner. Any one have ideas?

Seems like you had been on LTE for quite long. Mobile data takes pounding on battery life. You will always see android system, android os and Google services etc on battery stat when using mobile data. Not the same case with wifi.
same here
i have mixed net usage with m,mostly lte on and wifi
can anyone have its quick fix pls report asap

Seems like you had been on LTE for quite long. Mobile data takes pounding on battery life. You will always see android system, android os and Google services etc on battery stat when using mobile data. Not the same case with wifi.

Humm I thought it was the other way around. Nevertheless I have WiFi at work. Can't remember if I was on it though. I'll have to test that out.
You don't have to run a custom rom or loose dash charge cause your rooted. I'm still using stock oxygen 3.1.3,and have the basic functions like dash charge working. I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to use gsm, cause I'm always rooted, but it may gave you more specific insight as to what exactly is draining your battery quickly.

Not sure if it's got something to do with the ambient display. Maybe finger print scanner. Any one have ideas?

You know the image you attached, with the graph on it? Tap that and check the Awake heading. Is it one long solid blue bar? If yes: your phone stays awake (doesn't go in deep sleep mode). Does restarting it make a difference (i.e. does the solid blue bar get broken up)?
The problem emerged on my OP3 as well yesterday AND I had it on my prevous phone (a OPO). On the OPO the problem was that it wouldn't release a wakelock that kicked in during charging. While I haven't explored the problem on my new OP3 enough to know if this is the same problem, here's what fixed it for me if the problem is indeed charger related: when charged to your liking turn off your phone with the charging cable still in. Once turned off, remove the cable and restart the phone.

I'll have to check that out. I'll root today. Just haven't had a need with the OP3 I'm digging this version of oxygen and not missing any of my root abilities. Also I use android pay. But I guess I can live without it lol

Are you talking about under history details? I'll check tonight once my phone is drained. I did a battery cycle yesterday. Let it die and charged to 100 while it was off. We'll see how it goes today. And your saying it was an actual charger problem?
Heavy battery drain might have to do with the "pocket problem". The fingerprint sensor constantly activates and is not properly blocked by the proximity sensor.
There are several threads and posts about it, here and on the oneplus forums...

Yea I had that once in a while with my op2 I'd take the phone out of my pocket and it would say too many attempts at the scanner. Nothing on this phone like that though. And of course today is a different story with the battery lol its good today. So maybe it's while I'm at work. Idk it's odd. I need some more testing. Currently I'm at 9.5 hours on battery with 56% left and almost 3 hours sot. I'll see how this week goes at work and see if I can diagnose anything
I've been having this problem as well, losing as much as up to 20% of battery overnight, while it was doing absolutely nothing. I've tried a couple of things, but last night it 'only' drained 5%, betterbatterystats reports 0.6% of drainage per hour.
I think this is due to the weather option in the launcher, could anyone else try turning it off and see if battery life improves significantly?

You don't even need to do that. You can just check it after an hour or even less. Just put the phone away for an hour with the screen off and check history details.

Not quite. I'm saying it was a wakelock that kicked in during charging and that wasn't released when I took the phone off the charger. I don't know if it was the charger caused the wakelock.
Great for two days now I'm leaving work with 45% battery and only an hour and a half sot. Unplugged for 9 hours. Idk I feel like it's hit or miss
Apologies if this seems well travelled path, and I've certainly led a lot over the internet. But I just wanted to describe my issue and see if I've missed anything!
I've had chronic battery issues, and had a spare and I'd swap them in/out but I came to conclusion that wasn't great as it may not read battery stats well doing two different batteries. I was getting less than 12 hours between batteries. So now i have Powerbear 6500mAh battery and have been using it for a week. Apart from a heavy usage day I can now get 24 hours out of it. Superb.
Then as if by magic, trouble returns! The battery drained 11% overnight in seven hours. That's in airplane mode. 11% of a 6500mAh battery! Battery stats shows nothing has used battery in particular, just phone idle. Wake locks there was nothing significant. Now 5 hours later it's dropped another 43% with not a lot of use, just web and some maps.
Things I've tried:
Making sure the option to store activity logs is off.
Location turned off for all but most vital apps, like maps.
No automatic syncing of anything.
Greenify - and I shut down anything I can.
Wakelocks - ensuring nothing is abnormal, got rid of CityMaps due to excessive wakelocks.
Airplane mode at night - no cell, no wifi.
I rooted and reset the OS about six months ago, so that is my logical next step... but I'd rather understand what could cause 11% of 6500mAh to be drained by doing nothing!
Any thoughts of what I might have missed?
Stats: LG G4. LG-H815. Android 6.0. Build MRA58K. Software V20g-EUR-XX.
Thanks

What root method did you choose? SuperSU or Magisk? With Magisk my phone was hot (~70C) and got only 1.5h screen time, when i switched to SuperSU, it was gone.
Install GSam Battery Monitor app from the Play Store and see if it helps show you what's using up the battery.
I know you are not going to like reading this but
I don't use these extended batteries for a reason. Phone wasn't made for it.
Try your original battery
These extended batteries are also known to crap out after 500 charges
Use battery monitoring app to help you determine what's happening

I removed it as it never provided me anything worthwhile. I think it used to just say Android used the power or something vague. I can reinstall it, but there was never one specific identifiable reason I remember that.

Then I have to put up with a phone that won't last 6 hours, which is what led me to get additional batteries and now the PowerBear.
That said the following night, it used about 2% overnight... so erratic to say the least! And I have 59% left after 10 hours use. It's just the randomness the other day that spooked me. I did learn it was low on disk space, could have that caused that particularly bad event?
Did you try switching kernel? I can suggest you to try Imperium Kernel, that will reduce the system's usage. Other than this i have no idea. :\

What you said, is nosense for me. Some custom batteries are better than the original. You jsut must be lucky to pick the right one.

Thanks. I was thinking of doing something like that. Thanks for the heads up, there's a lot of choices... I'll check that one out.
