My Z2's battery is draining really, REALLY fast. In a normal day I only use it to check whatsapp sometimes and mostly to hear some music.
I have Existenz 3.5 installed on my phone and I thought it might be rom related issue so I clean install a couple of times and nothing happened. Then, I checked on the battery stats and saw that the Whatsapp was the app that was consuming the most amount of battery (30%) then the Google Play Music (around 9%) and so on... So I decided to greenify Whatsapp... Still the same thing.
While all this happened I should say that auto sync was disabled, I was using 2G, the minimun brightness and barely turn my screen on.
After all this happened I decided to put the phone into Android's battery saving mode, still nothing happened. I don't now what to do, I also already calibrated my battery.
Is this soft-hard ware related problem? What should I do?
P.S.
I'll post the screen capture as soon as my phone wakes off it's dream.
How old is your phone?
Try to uninstall whatsup (or freeze) for one day and check the results.

Sound like the mobile radio active bug. Go to Settings -> Power Management -> Battery Usage and have a look at whatsapp. Does it look like my image below (note mobile radio active for hours)? If so, it's the mobile radio active bug and it's an android bug. You'll need to kill whatsapp or toggle mobile data on and off.

I bought my phone in February so I guess it's not that old. I already froze WhatsApp on Greenify.
Yes, the bat stats look like that, radio usage is waaaaaay big. But that workaround haven't helped me since I've been toggling it a couple of times per day (I go to college then to my home)
Something weird is that yesterday when I was at work sometimes I started to feel the heat on my leg and then I take out my phone and put it on my face, so I can now the temp better, and it was hot. I don't like that because I'm only listening music, c'mon
Thanks for the help.
P.S.
If there's a bad batch of Z2s, could you tell me the name so I can compare it to mine?

There's a Xposed module that may fix the problem for some people, you could try that.
Or turn mobile data off when you're not using it. And greenify doesn't kill an app or helping this issue at all it needs to be forced stopped.
Finally the heat could be related to this issue. The problem is that the phone keeps powering the antenna when it shouldn't be.

I too had that problem. Try charging it too full and using battery callibrator callibrate it. Do a complete charge. U'll face severe drain after the first cycle of callibration. Then you'll get good battery life

No noticeable battery drain. Goes one and half day. I am not music and video guy, but 3G, emailing, sms, calls, wifi, etc on most of the time.
I disabled some bloatwares in app manager. Disabled MLT (lg log app) from hidden menu.
I use Advanced Task Killer, which stays in memory all the time and kills other unwanted background apps EVERY HALF hour in CRAZY mode.:good:Works perfect on all of my androids since last three years.
I also use Smart Profile which Automatically, Darkens screen to 20%, starts silent profile, switches off 3g/2g data, BT, wifi, etc all at 11pm automatically. In the morning the profile automatically changes back to normal at 7:30AM.

totally useless use of task killers. I'm surprised at you
I think battery drain can be related to Media Scanner, it consumes a lot of cpu time and takes longer on my 32gb microsd.
I disabled its autostart and battery life is still good on Jelly Bean.
Do you see it in battery stats?

Yep I agree.
In android it's not a good idea to use a task killer.
Same here now i have 1gb ram. Okay 768mb stupid system eats 200mb+ but never less i dont use a task killer. It killes te ram it self doesnt lag. With my old lg o2x wirh 512 mb 380 with ram hack i used task killer other wise always lags.. but now nen is okay
AW: Jb battery
JB L9 has its own Taskkiller, so i've activated it, set to once per hour, lowest value.
And battery drain seems to be higher here, too. Maybe there will be some bugfixes in the near future, so currently no root for me.
I noticed battery drain, too
R: Jb battery
Problem is there is not a valuable reason for battery drain. We need to understand why with new jb there is battery drain. Hoping in an official fix by LG obviously.
As per my observation, I think main cause of battery drainage in JB is media scanning service wich runs too slow and consumes lots of battery. After stopping this service from running services, battery percentage stops getting down. But i am unable to freeze this service. One more reason to freeze this service is that we can't use any stock app related to media while media scan is running. I even don't know after freezing media scan what bad thing can happen.

Hello there
I am aware that the Galaxy S3's battery isn't that great, but I have held an HTC One X for a while (which has an even worse battery) and it was actually much better than my S3's. The problem with the S3 is that it drains really hard while the device is actually SLEEPING. Like this morning I got up at about 9 AM and the phone was charging all night so it was 100%, so I decided to unplug the device and leave it till I got back (about 5 hours later) and it was already down to 89% or so. How does that happen? It's supposed to last much longer than that while it is sleeping, correct?
Here are some screen shots from Battery Stats Pro which I believe is the best battery application.

The developer of Battery Stats Pro is advertising another application for saving battery, I may go ahead and give it a shot but I remember trying a similar application on the HTC One X before which made things even worse.
I have been on the leaked 4.2.2 for a while now but the battery draining problem has been there ever since I got the phone, on 4.1.2, and I have tried many custom ROMs as well as deodexed 4.1.2, 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 but the problem remains, to a large extent, the same.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I don't have local warranty because I purchased the device from abroad and I don't want to invest in another battery if it's going to be the same.
Any information and/or advice are much appreciated.
Thank you.
I forgot to mention that I have read a lot of guides regarding better battery times and modified the settings in order to achieve that, like Auto screen brightness, lowering volume, disabling touch sounds, haptic feed back, vibration, key-tap sound/vibrate and other things. I also changed Facebook's Refresh Interval settings from 1 hour (which I forgot to change) to Never; the only client that I set to Push is my hotmail account because I really need it.
Do you have a anti virus? They usually keep the four cores working all the time.

is the charger you're using samsung's original one?
On many devices i so this and i can tell you that you need to find the problem, but if i see right just try to uninstall Facebook (one of the bigger drainer) and the test it. Any app that try to connect to internet,even if wifi or data connection is off is a battery drainer.
Thanks for your replies. No i do not have an anti virus. Yes i am using Samsung original charger which is plugged in the wall port directly. Finally i do need Facebook and wouldn't want to in uninstall it but I'll give it a shot. Would i have to remove Facebook messenger as well?
my facebook runs all the time i connect to internet! that's not a problem. if you are rooted, you can manage start up programs using es task manager for example.
Use greenify and use betterbatterystats not the you using right now

i was having the same problems
i uninstalled the facebook app and just use facebook through a browser.. not that seemed to make it any better .
i also downloaded DS battery saver and set it to aggressive over night(need to manually set it every night though) .. didnt pin point the problem but stops it draining over night
@negri I did the exact same thing. I set DS Battery Saver to aggressive overnight and it works wonders, although as you said, it does not point out the problem. I am assuming, though, since all DS Battery Saver does is turn off mobile data overnight while the screen is off, maybe Mobile Data just uses a lot of battery and there's nothing we can do about it. It's either that or some applications are constantly connected to the internet all the time.
Try turning off mobile data/WiFi until you need to use it.

from another similar post > [Q] Galaxy S3 Battery drain
facebook and others app cause various wakelocks, syncs, etc, causing power consumption and battery drains. (look logs in your monitor battery stats and analysis it)
"i do using greenify too, it's better than traditional battery savers or task killers.
u can use greenify, but to use the real potential of this app, you need root to full hibernation. look the apk developer instructions and tips.
best regards"
you can try too battery saver with profile battery settings based in time or battery level scheduling.
greenify hibernate (just "zzz", not freeze or kill apps) users and system apps (system need root).

So as of recently my battery life seems to be just terrible. I haven't done anything weird or started using any apps that are doing things in the background to drain my battery. I've been using the Devil kernel on and off (i thought it was having a negative effect on my battery life, but even a stock CM doesn't last long.
I should also not that when my battery does get to about 2-3% or less when im using the phone the screen brightness will start to flicker, and that if i turn my phone on after the battery having died in most cases if it tries to boot it results in a bootloop which is only fixed after i have wipe my data partitions.
Here are some screenshots of my battery stats from my usage this morning (and a few others ive taken):

I haven't even had the phone a year is something wrong with the battery or phone maybe? Im tempted to see if i can get it fixed under warranty...
Not really relevant but it also has a shattered screen
Something could be off with the media process. Try without an sd card. Some people (myself included) have had problems with the sd card being unmounted and mounted again, causing the media process to rescan the whole sd, huge battery hogger.
Edit: also try using better battery stats (free on the xda android apps section) to see if you can identify the problem.

at the moment i don't have an sd card installed, i did have one but took it out to use it for other stuff. Will try better battery stats and see if that gives me any more info as to where all my battery is going.
The Android OS stat being so high compared to Screen (normally the largest consumer) suggests you have something running. If you tap the Android OS line it will open and show you what is running. That gives you a start on what should or should be on. Haven't used Better Battery Stats but ES File Explorer and ES Task Manager are good tools, and I have Battery Booster which can Optimise the system by killing unneeded apps. Also DL Greenify - if hibernates apps and saves memory and battery without affecting performance noticeably.
note: I like ES Task Manager because you can kill apps then hit refresh and see which ones restart - lets you have a good idea what is needed versus what hasn't been closed after use.
So i ran my phone from 100-5 and had better battery stats measure things, i took some screenshots can anyone see anything unusual?

use an app like GREENIFY to hibernate the apps when not in use. if that doesn't help, change the kernel to like siyah and check the battery performance. if this is common on any custom rom and custom kernel, flash a stock ones and return to warranty and handle the phone to service center. :good:

well, the most wakelocks are caused by Maps, but your CPU governor is messed up - your CPU is at the max power almost always. What kernle are you using and are you using any CPU tweaking apps?
Maps seems like the cause:
Your stats show 4 hrs in deep sleep and about 3 hrs awake, but only 22 minutes of screen time.
And amongst the wake locks (stuff keeping your phone awake) maps seems like the winner, with skype following close by.
You need root, the following things should help:
Try converting maps to user app (not installed to system) and try the app greenify to suspend it while not being used. Or freeze it directly with titanium backup and unfreeze only when needed.
Try turning off wifi and gps location off unless you need some app to know your location (in adjustments).
Also use some cpu speed control app. You can limit your max cpu speed to 1ghz or lower without loosing performance (unless playing heavy games). Also you can create a cpu profile with about 300mhz when screen is turned off, which is enough for music playing.
Strange seems like my cpu doesn't want to scale down from 1400mhz, its just sitting there constantly :| back on the stock kernel now btw
Fot those who have the SmartBand, how does it affect battery life? Do you use it 24/7?
I use it 24/7 and have noticed zero difference in battery drain..due I believe to Bluetooth 4.0. Battery is so good on this phone it honestly never was even a worry for me.

Yes I do..
I started using the smart band days after the phone. So again I don't have much to compare to. I use my phone a lot for web, texting, some calls and stream music most all day. None of it on WiFi. Take it off charge at 6am. Home from work at 5pm always with over 50% battery left. Go to bed about 11pm using it all night with 25% or so.
Now you have me curious. Maybe I'll go a day or two without...just haven't ever thought about. Battery is killer.
Lifelog drains battery - yeah...
Just check Power Management and you'll see it - for me it was always "nr 1" on consumption list, above screen and I always use 70-80% screen brightness...
I'm not using lifelog anymore, I simply don't need it..
I have smartband for notifications and I'm very satisfied with it.
I even sold smartwatch when I "found" smartband.
It was sitting in box and I thought it's only for fitness...boy how I surprised when I tried it

You need to go to the logger settings and disable physical motions on phone to stop the drain. It's just for car and cycle logging anyway, which doesnt even seem to work so well.

Thank you so much, I completely missed that "hidden" page.
@Sichroteph No problem! There's quite a few hidden settings like this in sonys apps. It's always worth having a search for them.
If you are interested I spent a couple of hours building a no battery draining Tasker app that lock your phone when the smartband is too far. (root required)
It can also detect the day or night Mode for special phone actions (sound mute, dim screen light, Airplane Mode etc...)

I use AccuBattery and routinely get ~8%/hr screen on rate and 0.8%/hr screen off rate. It looks like something is running in the background (as einfachgaer guesses with Instagram and Messenger). If doing as he suggests doesn't seem to help, you might want to consider going into app info and modifying the data and battery settings for each app. To do that, press and hold on the icons until the menu pops up, then select App Info. From there, you should see Data Settings and Battery Settings; open Data Settings and select the option to prevent it from using background data, then open Battery Settings and select Restricted. Finally, select the Force Stop button for both.
Hopefully it gets resolved soon!

I had a call in messenger using the camera so the battery drain is probably from that, also Instagram I've been using it a lot with watching reels. I restricted both apps and further dialed the clocks

I use AccuBattery and routinely get ~8%/hr screen on rate and 0.8%/hr screen off rate. It looks like something is running in the background (as einfachgaer guesses with Instagram and Messenger). If doing as he suggests doesn't seem to help, you might want to consider going into app info and modifying the data and battery settings for each app. To do that, press and hold on the icons until the menu pops up, then select App Info. From there, you should see Data Settings and Battery Settings; open Data Settings and select the option to prevent it from using background data, then open Battery Settings and select Restricted. Finally, select the Force Stop button for both.

For some reason Accu battery couldn't measure my health after 5 charges in fact I after 10-12 of charging it from 5-10% to 90 it couldn't asses the health it kept saying it didn't detect any charges below the 15% threshold, I've put the clocks even further as I replied to @einfachgaer now my screen on is 13% discharge and 1.20% during screen off. Tomorrow I'll post the results going to use it today see how it fares
Update the is is my current SoT after whole day of heavy use of Instagram scrolling through reels mainly and a video call.
I feel like it could be at least 6 hours due me under clocking the CPU quite a bit and running in durable mode, but with 120hz. Anyone want to share their SoT?
Something's wrong with your setup, my phone is completely stock , and from 80% charge i have it on 30 after 12+ hours of use and 4+ hours of SoT . I will try to get more precise data
Light use with WhatsApp and browser mainly. Wifi (90%), 4G (10%) and brightness to 70-80%
Here's my yesterday stats
I'm on 32.2040.2040.23 with clean slate installed plus dialed down clocks it's feels like I'm having twice as less battery than it should be, screen on drain is 15%
Something is definitely wrong with your device not going into proper deep sleep.
Yesterday I installed Accubattery, so not much data, but it should be enough to show that the battery consumption is very different.

I use Sleep Cycle during my sleep, but I use the phone charger not to lose any battery so this couldn't be the reason, another app is YourHour which tracks my usage, going to remove it and redo the tests, also went to 90hz instead of 120hz. If this continues I will do a clean install on the whole phone. Kind of sad because I love the size of this phone and the feel it had, I am waiting for the gcam update so the photo quality comes even more.
Yeah, I got a good 9hr SOT on a medium use day while bone stock. Something's definitely wrong with your device.
Just took the plunge and bl unlocked so I'll let you know how much the kernels do.
Quick update: I fully cleaned the device and found out that wallpaper engine was running in the background without stopping and not reporting for some reason on the battery stats, also for some reason the wallpaper I was using wasn't running as pre-rendered but high quality preset, maybe something happened when I transferred my data from my Zenfone 6, battery seems to be way better now will post a report probably tomorrow.

Hope you got better results. This is my phone after a typical workday, so you definitely have a hardware issue if resetting didn't fix it.

Well this are my stats since yesterday I decided to use a lot of Instagram to check how much would it drain, plus having two video call for a total of 40mins. And the second screenshot is from couple of days ago honestly I feel like I should ask for a replacement or my expectations are way higher than they should be
Update on this once again I find it weird that I lose 30% of my battery with screen off, could someone post their display off stats?
This guy on reddit definitely has a different experience than you

im also getting highish usage compared to others, wonder what the cause might be. Were you able to fix it?
