Ok, so I rooted the phone yesterday, and installed a custom boot animation, but that's all I have done. For some reason, Every time I reboot the phone, My battery stats reset, so when i turn the phone off, then back on, my battery usage says "unplugged for 32 seconds" or something similar to that. Any idea why it's reading that I just unplugged the phone???
Also, I have juice defender installed, and all of a sudden it is reading ridiculously high numbers, like it's increased my battery x9.74. It never usually reads higher than x1.74 or so. I don't know whats going on. Any ideas?

It will say that regardless whether you unplugged the phone from the charger or if you reboot the phone. It is clearing your battery "statistics" because you shut off the phone...

ah yeah, but it's not that big of a deal.
It's on a different level than the battery stats that you wipe in Recovery, but it can be a bit of a pain if you're closely looking at your battery level and you can't know for sure how long since you actually charged it.
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.

Hi, I just bought a used galaxy tab s 10.5 and the battery jump from 20 to 99% in 20 minutes when charging . I started using it at 100% and it shuted down for low battery in 30minutes and I power it on again a it said 75%. How do you thinks is going on with the tablet? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Do you know if it's rooted and has a custom recovery. Clear cache and fix permissions in recovery mode
No root
It is not rooted and it have stock recovery. Is there an app to reset battery stats?

try booting stock recovery and do a factory reset.if that don't work than look into rooting it and TWRP so you'll have the option to flash something else or clear the cache and fix permissions
done
I did the factory reset and the permissions fix thrught TWRP but the battery still crazy. What more can I do?
I got the tablet down to 0% battery, to the point that it wouldn't turn on.
Took off the back cover using prying tools and then disconnected the battery, power cycled thrice by holding and releasing power button and then reconnected the battery and let it charge overnight to 100% and now battery life is amazing, don't have those drastic drops anymore.
There are no warranty stickers torn etc involved with doing this so you don't have to worry about voiding it. Just take your time and start at the microsd slot, open the hatch and work your way around slowly. Its difficult first time around because there is adhesive glue as well as clips holding it down. But still very doable without damaging anything.
Here is a link to a battery calibrator for root users
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitula.batterycalibration
There are other calibration apps
Definitely other options before taking it apart [emoji111]
..
I tried with the battery calibration app and nothing. I leave you a screenshot , thats is WHITHOUT any charge, when it shuted out I just turn it on again. What is indexservice?
OK after ready the links below I believe a debloated ROM could solve your problem

I will try a debloated rom because son process called index service is draining the 60% of my battery, but is rare that the tablet shuted down and when I tried to turn in on and it shuted down immediately for low battery, but and enter in recovery mode and leave it on with max brightness and it stay awake for 4 hours!! Even when twrp said that is has only 1%.

Post back to let us know it is after a ROM flash
Can you post a full screenshot of your battery settings. You just posted the graph. Not sure about the index service, but knox drains battery too.
Had the same issue crop up on mine. Did the the battery 0% drain then recharge a few times. And factory format. Now it just randomly keeps restarting (even when on charge now). Called Samsung and they have sent a pack to post it to them to sort I hope.
Now with the debloated rom the crazy battery drops have stop but I'm having random restarts. What's is happening now?
I know it's a lot of work and getting frustrating but let's try Odin back to stock .

Now with stock rom I still having random restarts and battery drops. I dont know what more to do and I dont have warranty.
I leave it all night on plugged in the charger and it didn't restart but when I started using it, it freezes up and restart.
Now it sounds like a kernel issue .I really dislike that cortex chip to
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?
Used to be on the settings menu. I no longer have restart and I no longer have factory reset. Where have these moved to?
Strangely, they have moved it to Settings-Unpair with phone...

Guys, my watch when i do unpair its not reseting no idea why, it turs off, do you have to have any percentage minimum to do a reset?

Yes, there is a minimum battery required before it will do a reset. Cant remember what it is, maybe 50% or higher.
Sorry, a bit slow in reply
So, to try and fix my 1 hour battery life from 100% to 0%, I am trying to reset this...yet again. When I go to do this as per the instructions in this thread, the watch just reboots and doesn't factory reset. Suggestions? Or is this thing trash now?

Needs to be nearly fully charged to reset. Try fully charging it and do the reset while on the charger. You can press and hold the button to bring up settings screen while on the charger.
Lol it drains at a rate of several percent per minute. Finally got it to reset after a third try, still does the same battery drain stuff. Throwing it in the trash as it simply does not work anymore. I will revisit Android Wear when it has matured.

Dont throw it away, give it to someone on here to modify. If its stuck down to a small qi charger, it could be used as a notifications device in a car or motorbike for example.
Well, if anyone wants to buy it, PM me.
