is there an extended life or high capacity battery for this samsung duos phone?
Use juice defender

Want battery life?
ok there are many apps in the market available that promises better battery life, but really it doesn't.
simple ways and precaution should me made . NO NEED OF ANY APP.
i personally installed Juice Defender -worked but its very irritating as it disconnects data connectivity again n reconnect which in turn uses more battery life THINK LOGICAL.
All battery savior apps uses the same architecture , but the real motive is not achieved.
USELESS
ok here are some LOGICAL WAYS to improve your android's battery life.
1> SHUT DOWN AUTO UPDATE APPS from GOOGLE PLAY
2> FREEZE MAPS and turn off LOCATION , no one cares where you are RIGHT NOW.
3> Disable Facebook , twitter, google+ .. in short all social network sync. AUTO SYNC uses Tons of battery life.
4> use >60% screen brightness at home. STAND BY SCREEN IS A POWER SUCKING MONSTER.
5> Avoid using VIBRATION, i know this point is not acceptable but vibration uses 20% of batter in TOTAL.
6>Set Screen TIMEOUT in 30 sec. If available >30sec.
7>Avoid playing HD games, HELLO ITS A PHONE..NOT A COMPUTER.. keep the phone to calls , sms, and internet.
SPEAKING OF THE INTERNET.
8> USE THE DEFAULT BROWSER, Opera Mini, UCWEB and others are smooth and swift and also promise to save data but consumes twice the battery power as compared to the regular DEFAULT browser.
9>Shut down data connectivity when not in use [COMMON EVERY ONE KNOWS.... BUT YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN MANY TIMES].
10>ANTIVIRUS consumes a-lot of battery power though they promise that uses less power. AHH RUBISH , if so do the AV app run on solar power?? HELLO MY PHONE HAS NO SOLAR POWER. I am not saying to kick your antivirus away but, use a pro version of any antivirus. SLIGHTLY LESS POWER SUCKERS AS COMPARED TO FREE VERSIONS.

In addition to what debanikonline said, try regularly clearing the cache of some of your apps.

Yeah, "App Cache Cleaner" is a nice app.. It automatically clears cache after a custom time interval...

Since two days my op3 battery is draining in no time . I do use mobile data ,it stays on all the time but the drain is now sudden it wasn't like this few days back I thought its some app ..i don't undersrand why Google photos is taking so much of battery ..for background uploads it shouldn't be on top of list .
See the screenshot and in few hours I am down to 13 from full charge ...
Very weird

Google photos turns into nightmare sometimes. It sometimes eats data like a cake and drains battery. Reinstall it as said by another guy. Your device was continuously awake during entire period.
If you do have lots of pictures on phone or online on Google cloud, combined with a poor Internet connection, thats happening on photos. In the background it tries to download your cached pictures on phone as well uploading the ones from your gallery. It's a common "bug" I got in many picture managers with cloud storage. Had that with Dropbox, Quickpic and Photos from Google too... Sometimes even a clear data on them and/or cache can solve the problem.

And I thought updating apps was the sole defaulter .
Removed Google photos and the drain is no more ... Will not install it back for few weeks now
Thanks folks

Thats not a problem.. just reinstall it and see if its still messing around since these bugs are rare..
After upgrading to OOS 4.1.0 over OTA my Android System usage started to drain the battery. So i downloaded the full zip and did a complete clean flash of OOS 4.1.0. Even after that the Android System Usage is draining the battery. I'm attaching the screenshots. Any solutions to this ?
Clear Googleplay services cache and app data, then reboot.
Haven't tried it myself, though i have read it has helped many

Settings / apps / Google play services / manage data ( clear data )
Settings / backup and reset ( turn off backup )
Settings / battery , click the three dots at the top and check the power hungry apps and enable aggressive doze and whilst in aggressive doze settings turn on nearly all of the optimised apps just don't optimise things like phone , messenger , WhatsApp if you use them regularly ...
Hope this helps and if it does then please hit that thumbs up button it means the world to me....
are you rooted ?
This is probably not because of Google Play Services.
Can you share screenshot of "Android OS" battery usage as well? I bet it has keep awake time over 1.5hrs.
I also have a problem with my OP3 draining battery after android N
My battery is pretty much done in 12 hours with next to no screen on time...

I've tried the steps above but doesn't change the battery life at all
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Snap. I have the same problem here too. Only thing I haven't tried was switching backup off, but I really don't want to live without it, it's just too useful now.
My battery drains even when the phones not in use. I had great battery time at the start (6 months ago) but now it hardly lasts for 20 hours with normal use. Wonder what they did with the OS or maybe its cheap manufacturing
**** OOS... I littery Switched to VertexOS for this reason and I don't see a difference other then Vertex being way more peformant and batfery friendly.
Yeah, happens me every week after a clean install despite all the play services data delete, cache, etc. Always ends up like this. Hopes it gets fixed, Nougat hasn't been going well on our OP3
Me too, heavy draining even when I don't use my phone ?
Did someone already seen this?
Huge wake-up alarm from Android with job.delay and job.deadline :s
so i'm trying to figure out why my battery is draining so rapidly. I'm charging once and rarely twice during the day at this point. I'm running the latest and greatest from leedroid if that matters. attached a screenshoot for reference.
Anything else you need to help me with this just ask and I will answer. Thanks!
There doesn't look anything too bad from that screenshot. Have you got gsam battery monitor ? Try that and see what ' app use ' shows. I had a problem for a day or two on the same rom ( nothing rom related ) and no amount of reboots solved it. For some reason the kernel was keeping the phone awake 100% . Sometimes it's an app or a download or some media on the device, if it's a recent problem check everything that's been down or uploaded and any new media or app on the device. A wipe would likely fix it but try and narrow it down first. I think my issue was a play music download but can't be sure as I cleared cache, dalvic cache and data for several apps.
It's now back to usual ( 5 hrs SOT )

android system and kernel combined have 40%, they are the top 2 consumers and have the most wake locks.

That's slightly high but not drastic. There's a ton of factors for battery drain, what's the 'held awake' time versus the sleep and how much SOT do you get ?.
Another way to narrow things down is to leave it with data off for several hours to see if the drain stops.
There's dozens of options on Leedroid which could change battery life , including the kernel options in aroma . Ambient display can drain battery as can some of the ways to turn on the device.
You could try to wipe all the caches, clear data for Google apps and maybe dirty flash the ROM and see if things improve.
Maybe also try the battery calibration as detailed in other threads. There's a possibility the battery may be degrading of course, check the thread for that and see what your capacity is now.
Do you have the Facebook app installed. For some reason, I seem to notice battery drain more with some Facebook updates. I don't know what it is but my phone will easily last a day, Facebook update arrives and phone needs charging twice a day. Another Facebook update arrives and its ok again.
I think something is really wrong with the 10 lately. My battery goes down like crazy as well, I first thought it was my device and performed a factory reset, but still the same issue. Now I see that there are a lot of people mentioning the same thing the last few days.. Can't be a coincidence that my battery went bad along with others' at the same time..

i have ambient display off, i also selected one of the battery saving kernels. i had about 10 thousand wakelocks coming from powermanangerservice.wakelock this morning. the sucky part is i got frustrated and just uninstalled better battery stats after seeing that. i know that wakelock means there are tons of partial wakelocks.... it's just becoming a pain. hate my phone right now.
()after i left work) i just installed better battery stats again and i'm gonna let it sit.

Mine was bad again yesterday but back to good today. Only change was a Google play update ( pushed by google, I assume play services as it updates itself not through the store ). Maybe see if there is a more recent play services that helps you.
I thought power management services was the turning on of the screen/device but may be wrong , do you have wake gestures enabled ?

no wake gestures, honestly i disable all the bells and whistles b/c battery on most phones. and here's what i got after a days use, SOT 2:50. The important thing to note my phone rarely get's used. text throughtout the day and video on the train ride home. music. i think that's pretty basic. what're you guys thoughts?
below are screenshots from Better Battery Stats of kernel and partial wakelock.

Hi everyone..
I attach a battery stats for Today...is that normal? I can't suspend the multimedia storage in any way.
Thanks and regards
Edit: I can't attach the image yet
Edit 2: Photo Attached
Hi again.
Any ideas about this prob?
Thanks
Something got stuck somewhere, try restarting the phone, maybe clearing the cache partition - for me when updating roms (even with OTA) that gives some results in improving battery life.
OK. I wipe cache right now. I will try it.
Thanks by the replay.
No luck about it. Wiping cache don't resolve it.
But the way... I want to know if the consumption of media storage in the file I post is normal or not.
Thanks.
Take out the trash, start with WhatsApp... keep social media apps off the phone.
I have no idea what that multimedia app is.
If you can't tame it, kill it.
Nominal SOT time for a 10+ is 7-13%@hr at >50% brightness with a good battery.
Higher battery usage occurs when streaming vids or playing games.
Nominal rest time usage with internet on, using tap on AOD is >.5%@hr. If this figure is over 1%@hr you have something(s) running in the background.
OK... Thanks for the replay. I can't kill multimedia storage, I checked don't run in background, but it still running.
Is there any soft that tell me if there are something running in background?
Regards

What OS version are you using?
So the app you're talking about is a system app?
Stock N10+'s are easy once you learn some tricks.
I'm using android 11
Multimedia storage (Almacenamiento multimedia in Spanish) is a system application and I can't kill it.
Yours stock rom don't have so much battery drain as mine in that app?
Regards
This is how it's setup on my 9 variant. It uses no battery. Go directly to the app in settings and check on it and it's settings. It may be being misreported and not be the source of the drain at all. I've seen this behavior occasionally before with Google apps and their dependencies.
I can package disable it but I don't recommend you do so.
You can try a forced stop. If it's been updated revert it back to factory load version.
If you're using power management in Device Care, disable it. It can cause erratic behavior and battery drain.
In android 11, I can't force stop or disable.
Or back to previous version.
I'll try package to try to see something.
Thanks for the replays

Replays? That's how it looks when it's running properly, in fact it's seldom normally active.
So you're seeing 10% or whatever usage in your app itself (not elsewhere)?
What about in running apps in Developer options and what others apks are running with it?
You need to play with it.
You knew it was 12 when you loaded it...
Rule #1 - if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
