Yes my Prime went from 40% battery life to totally dead when I woke up this morning....... I knew when they finally found a fix for the lockup issue they would screw everyone else over somehow this is last straw I am returning this once and for all.
EDIT: This appears to have been a one time thing I have tested the battery with sleep since this happened this morning and everything appears to be just fine..... also my antutu benchmark scores even went up a little
EDIT: Well nevermind my battery life sucks drains 40% in 2 hours at 25% brightness just browsing the web my Wi-Fi also randomly now disconnects and I have to click in to network settings and all of a sudden it will reconnect. I want 1.11 back or my money back for the Prime.

Yes it was read Garys notes in official thread for his 2/8 update.....
Same experience for me. The latest update has killed my once great battery life. I'm kind of pissed, considering I never suffered from the reboot/freezing issues that the update was made to address.

Time for Gary to create a new Offical Asus thread so he can tell us for weeks they are looking into a fix for it.... Then if we finally get a fix for it who knows what else it will break its not worth it anymore folks i am returning for a refund.

o which source are you referring to. A thread here on the forum?
um you shouldn't b jumping to conclusions, in my experience it is not unusual to have crap battery life after a firmware upgrade, aspecially if you have a lot of apps, it has to rebuild caches and all that, so usualy sorts it self out after a couple of days.
The other thing is we can't see what apps could be causing battery drain as Asus hasn't enabled it yet.

Jumping to conclusions? I have never woke up in the morning to turn my Prime on and find it was turned off because the battery had died I think that's as conclusive as can be.

That's not necessarily true, sometimes a broken app, incompatible app, or apps that crashed can keep the processor running. When I first got my galaxy sII the battery drains like crazy. But after a factory reset it was 100 times better. I wouldn't jump straight to conclusion with a one time thing. After all, pics, quad core are still new.

BUT if only 1 thing changed, the OTA update, you can rule that logic out. If he got the OTA update AND changed a bunch of stuff that is possible. As I read it, only change is OTA update and thus, you can start to narrow down the cause.

The system update is not draining the battery life at all, if anything the way the system ha been adjusted to utilize the cores, it should save some battery life. battery drain is caused by an app running in the background, tat is probably not closing properly. Check to see if anything is running in the background, or maybe an app that you recently installed is not working properly. My battery can go a day without needed to be recharged, and this is with heavy gaming/app usage, as well as other prime owners whom have updated. Please try to root out another cause of the problem before just assuming its due to the update.

Thanks, this should pinpoint the app causing the problem for those who are having battery issues. Don't want to cause a mass-hysteria on the firmware update, it has been working great so far for most of us

Yes it did, and mine and hundreds of other owners have not had any battery issue, so I don't see it causing battery issues for some and not others. Have you recently installed any new apps/games? Did you try a fresh reboot? I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying check for other possible causes. The speed of the cores have been adjusted somewhat with the new update to help save battery life. Use the link provided a few posts above to see whats running and using the most battery on your device..I bet that's what is killing yuor battery
Well if this is true mine should be off when I get home since i haven't used it since last night. We'll see.
Oddly enough, I had a battery issue yesterday as well - but I have not received OTA .13, my Prime is on 11.1
I left my tablet in my work bag most of the day, in sleep mode. Around 4 PM I go to use it, and it is AMAZINGLY warm/hot, and the battery is dead. I cannot remember what I was using the night before, but something made the processor churn all day, and eventually kill the battery.
I think I did leave it on Performance mode - but can't for the life of me think what could have caused this to happen.
I know - not very helpful as I am not on .13 - but just pointing out yours could have been a fluke.
Charged when I got home last night - and all seems fine today.......

Exactly, this just means that your Prime was *working* constantly, which means that there was an app/game that was running constantly without your knowledge. try a fresh reboot and see if that helps, also, try to find the culprit which is causing your prime to stay active.

You wouldn't be the first one to complain about the sleep mode battery drain on 11.1. I am also quite sure that the .13 version is heavily based on that 11.1 beta.
Hello everyone,
My s6 Edge does not go to sleep. It drains huge amount of battery while idle.
I need urgent help. I have disabled all AT&T bloatware. But it still does not work.
I have also tried hard resetting it, it does not work. Battery continues to drain.
Thank You.
Is this something new or has it always been like this? Btw, which version of LP are you on? 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?
Its new, LP v. 5.0.2

5.0.2 seems to be notorious for battery drains...check if your device has the 5.1.1 update which seems to be better in terms of RAM management. Also, are you data or wifi...if on data, then LP is again notorious for a world famous "mobile radio active" bug...it's all over the web...So, the best solution would be to either put the phone in deep freezer until Google fixes the huge bugs in LP or sell your phone...just kidding...
After updating your device (if there's any), do a factory reset...it should solve your problems...hopefully
Does not go to sleep? Check your settings about screen timeout..The battery drain can be fixes through system update..if samsung has any update ready

I hard reseted my phone, disable all bloatwares, haven't installed any apps, haven't signed in to anything (even google, only signed into samsung account). charged to 100%. Left the phone for 4-5 hrs, battery drained to 81%.
fliptroniks said:
I was going to say just make sure you dont have too many apps running and you can also download a battery saving app on the play store for free which can help. It sounds like theres something you have running draining your battery though. Keep in mind however that the galaxy s6 edge when charged to 100 percent can hold a charge for quite awhile, but if your only charging it too around 40 or 50 percent it will die rather quickly.

What does it tell you in the battery stats? That's the first place to look. Is Screen at the top or something else like Google Services or a fitness tracking app? Send a screenshot of that as a starter for 10.

Your best bet is to install TWRP, root, and flash "No deep sleep fix", thats if you dont care about tripping knox of course.
Seems like an aggressive suggestion since we don't know the root cause yet. It might not be a wake lock issue; it could be location tracking or updates getting stuck. I'd rather see the battery stats first.
Screen is not even on the list, i haven't used my device for more than 15-20 mins (used chrome & inbox for 15-20 mins in the morning)

Google Services like I thought. There's a number of things that can cause this as it's quite a fundamental service. The most simple fixes are:
- Make sure there's no pending updates in the Play store. These can work havoc with the battery when waiting for manual approval
- If this doesn't work, remove your google account, reboot and re-add it. For some reason this can fix the sync issues that cause drain
- Still no dice? The next one is to backup, factory format then restore your backup. It's a bit extreme but sometimes when you update your software it causes a glitch that only goes away with a factory format
Each time you try a fix, let the battery fully charge then check the stats a couple of hours later.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will let u know the results soon.

You're welcome. If it's any conciliation I had exactly the same issue and fixed it this morning with those steps.
Google services is one of the biggest battery user but it still doesn't explain his erratic battery loss. I never turn off any features and get decent life.

Tried the third step many times before, didn't work.
So, yesterday I tried the 1st & 2nd step, worked like a charm, I was happy but today, the same results (battery was draning like i was playing games). So I completely removed my google account and left my phone for a few hours. Here is the result (see attached). As you can see no Stupid Google Play Services in the list but what is eating my battery ????

Again, LP has a world famous bug called the "Mobile Radio Active" bug. What this means that if an app uses the data services for some odd reason LP keeps the mobile radio open even if the app does not need it any more...So, for all you know ur issue is Android related and not your device specific. Oh btw, the upcoming M also has this confounded bug...so I believe we will be plagued by this bug for the foreseeable future...And I dumped my iPhone for this buggy Android...Dang!
How is your reception, If most of the time your phone struggle to get reception, it may be part of the problem, just my 2 cents, not an expert, but myself trying to get rid of the google service battery bug...
Better battery stats would give detailed information as to the cause, yet it requires root on all lollipop devices. Helped me find the exact cause of my phone never sleeping
I used to have the classic Mobile Network standby battery drain issue, until I flashed CalyxOS.
I left my phone with 100% battery before I went to bed last night and woke up this morning 8 hours later with no drain of any kind at all.
Might be an option for anyone else with the same issue.
Interesting. So that confirms it's a software issue and not hardware. Which is a relief. It means Google can fix it via OTA update. Hopefully enough people reported it that Google took notice. i am on chat with google now and they want me to factory reset. I was hoping to avoid that
wait just a question. you said 8 hours.those stats don't update for 24 hours. So you got 16 more hours to go till you know if the issue is fixed. that is why there are no stats at all on your screenshot. It just says battery data isn't available right now
Edit: ok I was wrong about that because I factory reset my phone (on the advise of Google support) and it's been 7 hours and I can see stats. But yes not losing anything In 8 hours is suspicious. I mean it could happen I guess my pixel 4xl got fantastic battery life and apparently mine was the only 4xl that got good battery life because everyone else hated the 4xl because of battery life. Anyway with my 4xl I would lose 1 or 2 percent overnight same with my 1,2,3a and 5. It's only the 6 that this is happening too. I just hope that it can be fixed with an software update.
8 hours with no drain is suspicious if you are not in Airplane mode. The clock, the weather app, email client, a bunch of things at least asks back for update preiodically, so it seems odd.

He's pushing this OS all over the place, not sure why. Most people do not want to bl unlock, wipe their devices and gamble with a new OS that probably doesn't work with Google Pay. And I agree 8 hours with no drain? Not likely although I did have 0.4% / hour one night. Usual is around 0.8 - 1.0 / hour.

Calyx doesn't do anything really in the background. It's de-Googled and has background processes limited or killed altogether. It is certainly possible to get this low idle drain considering OP is on wifi with what looks to be a very strong mobile network signal so the inefficient Exynos modem isn't draining it.
The downside of course is that a bunch of stuff doesn't work right on Calyx because there are no Play Services. You can't even access the stuff you bought IAP for...
I see. I don't say that it is bad. limiting or killing processes in deep sleep would hurt the notifications too, right? It is an interesting OS, but I would join to the others. I need my apps in a convenient way. I did modding in the past but now I appreciate phones that just work when I take them out from the box.

You might have "solved" one problem but introduced countless others. If you're really that excited then give all the info not just overnight battery drain and be a little more forthcoming about the rom. I mean in reality if I turn off all network activity and put it into airplane mode I'd get the same results and probably even better. And then there's your thread of ...Why isn't everyone running CalyxOS? Maybe one thread would have been enough instead of cross posting the Pro and the P6. Anyway, I do believe you have gotten enough feedback so people know the pitfalls of the rom and the supposed benefits of longer battery life.

I turned nothing off. If I had I would have said so. What's the point in posting my findings then? I would be useless wouldn't it? I don't have time to play games and lead people around the bush. I'm not 12 years old anymore.
So just to satisfy your curiosity, I use my phone in exactly the same way I have always used it. Bluetooth off, Wifi and mobile data on, location on when I need it but off at the moment. All my apps work just the same as before including my banking app. The only thing I don't use now is Google Pay, and two of my apps with in app purchases are not registered. Apart from that it is exactly how it was before.

Mobile network standby of 2 minutes with 5 hours off the charger suggests airplane mode was in use.
I don't care how much stuff you turn off in the background, there is no way you're getting a 2% loss from 5 hours of usage unless you used the phone for less than 30 minutes in those 5 hours.

Suspicious, yes, but then again... I used to be able to run my old Moto G3 for two weeks on a single charge with just a bare-bones LOS, no gapps and nothing else in the background, so it doesn't seem THAT unreasonable.

Insane battery drain. Any more info needed HMU.
Your Phone's battery drained 7% in 33 min screen on. I think its normal.
Its not normal for me
Did you upgrade to Android 13 One UI 5?
I know that since I installed Android 13 OneUI 5, my battery has been draining faster when in standby. Prior to the update, after sleeping for 6 hours my battery drain was between 4 to 5 %. Now it drains more than 10%. I factory reset after I installed the update.

Now I actually have more of a problem with when the phones on its draining fast on my other phone I was using Spotify, WhatsApp, insta and a load more and it wasn't draining my battery as much as it is on this phone I can bearly get a full day with spotify playing music to my Bluetooth headphones, me texting people on WhatsApp, maybe slight gaming, and calling on WhatsApp drains it and that's another compared to my old phone plz help or at least give me your thoughts. Thank you.

Sorry for the late response. Like you I have factory reset several times. I have slimmed down the phone as much as possible of extra stuff (Samsung apps/services that I find useless through ADB) and I have seen slight improvement.
Searching online, it seems that quite a few galaxy device models (S21/S21FE) have reported similar issues. Even the Pixel line has some similar battery issues. I hope that Google and Samsung can release updates to address the problems soon.
Well, android 13 battery drain is because google implemented more "ad targeting system apps" that guess what.....those are harvesting more data from you USING YOUR BATTERY, YOUR CPU, YOUR STORAGE AND YOUR PHONE INTERNET BANDWIDTH. ....one of them is even about their new "topics" ad targeting system....
I cant remember the names but my S21 5G got a bootloop when I disabled all that crapb (google's way to force you to keep them) so I had to return to android 12 to disable the ones there and not get a bootloop. Just return to androod 12 as I did and disable the samsung update apps to avoid being forced to update to 13
Well...I can't believe I actually figured out my battery drain issue and it is stupid.
I noted that I was draining up to 3% or more an hour while sleeping. For 6 weeks I have been trying to figure this out. I suddenly realized Monday that I was seeing around 1% an hour battery drain at work during times I was not using my phone. The only thing different between work and home is that I have wifi turned off at work. Started messing around with some stuff that was wifi related and the issue turned out to be Wifi Calling. It would act crazy when I went into airplane mode then turned off airplane mode. I turned off Wifi Calling on Monday and my battery life is looking great ever since. It is still slightly more drain than android 12 but not enough to qualm over.
Don't know if it is connected to any of your issues, but worth a look. Luckily I get good enough signal at home that wifi calling is not really a concern at this time. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates but if not I want shed a tear.

Did you upgrade to Android 13 One UI 5?
I know that since I installed Android 13 OneUI 5, my battery has been draining faster when in standby. Prior to the update, after sleeping for 6 hours my battery drain was between 4 to 5 %. Now it drains more than 10%. I factory reset after I installed the update.

That's unfortunate. It also seems like for those few who do find a solution, it is all different
Ya I upgraded to Android 13 one UI 5, This issue was after updating to Android 13 .I tried factory resets and wiping cache etc .

Dude, that is because Android 13 is full of Adware by google and the new topics system.....and if you try to disable it... you get bootloop.... I returned to android 12 with Odin and disabled samsung update apps and the lesser google adware it has to avoid that problem

TBH...once I figured out that wifi calling was creating my serious battery drain and turned it off, my battery life is very close if not on point with Android 12. But I have leaned my samsung phone down by uninstalling a whole lot of stuff so I would think that it should be slightly better so I can see your point.
Am i only the one who is noticing minor lags around the UI after the feb update including few scrolling and wallpaper bugs on 23 Ultra?
Had no problem on my U1.
I'm noticing battery life isn't as good. Anyone else feel this?

You can't judge battery for a few days. It always sucks immediately after an update.
Should i roll back or wait for another update?

I just got my s23 ultra on Monday. Turn on phone and updated. I must say battery life isn't that great either. Once I start using my phone it goes down quickly
I haven't notice any lags after the update. Battery life seems the same as before. I just installed the update today so will see if there is any significant change. But so far seems that it's just working as intended. Still hitting 5+ hours of SOT after last a full day of use and 30% battery left no optimizations.
Seems fine here. Am on light battery profile
No difference here on VZW.
No problems on the U1 model.
No issues for me. If you have a few hiccups wait a day or 2. Apps do re-optimize after an update so let everything adjust.

Have had this after “analyzing battery pattern” phase. It was probably the play store update but as soon battery finished analysis p, it got worse
I don't get why some of you are only getting half the battery life that I am. I am Deaf so I don't do any voice calling. Don't have any games installed yet. And only Social Media I have is Facebook and Messenger. Other than that it's all Stock without any modifications and using Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and WQHD resolution.
The first screenshot was with Standard Performance Profile and Second was Light Performance Profile.

I'm telling you, was so average. Installed older release software, back to ridiculous battery life.

Look at the reports online. This Feb update has some s23 owners noticing battery degradation. Mostly previous gen phones updated to 5.1 though it seems, like s22 s21 owners
Use good gardians app booster after an update and you'll be fine

Hi, lot's of problems here
apps force closing
system notifications saying apps have issues
system restarting and going on a loop (not getting to the pin screen)
Had to go back to my prevoius phone until I figure it out
Chatted with Samsung, no straight answers.
Factory resetted it, still same issues, even on the instalation screen to pick language.
Anyone know how to rollback in a clean way to avoid warranty issues?
SM-S918B-ARO
Regarding batery, wasn t able to check, but I assume it will have issues too.
Thx

Why do you update your phone if you get bugs afterwards?

Because I don't have a time machine to know what would happen. I assumed this didn't happen, but I was wrong, now is time to fix it..
Downloading update via Frija and will update on Odin.
The thing is I can't rollback, as I couldn't get the old firmware, only the new one.
I'll update here when is done.

Remember it for the rest of your life!!! All updates bring only bugs! No need to update Windows and Android! If you do, you will have problems. You won't get anything good.
