Well I got my S7 Edge coming soon (pre ordered) but I'd still like to know what can possibly cause this.. I've had horrible battery life for some time now and I just looked at my battery status. It seems my phone never goes to sleep and is always awake? Back I'm the day we could check the cause but now we can't unless we root... can anyone tell me what can an android user do about this? I'm looking forward to the doze function in 6.0!
My phone literally sat for few hours while I napped but look at that battery draw!!

If you have "Aways Allow Scanning" enabled in wifi advanced settings, this will happen. Also, battery can go quick if you have "Enhanced 4g LTE services" enabled under mobile data (hd voice over LTE). I would check these two things first. Also, if you keep the phone's sync setting on all the time, thus might happen.
Hope this helps.
You should probably turn off NFC also. I have sync off and wifi only enabled when phone is awake. Data is off when I'm not on wifi. Charge my phone ever other day. I get really good battery life.
1d 1h 57m on battery currently. At 40%. Approximately 10h 14m left on battery.

As you can see, something is keeping my phone awake while I'm not using it

How can I find out what it is?
Could that just be phone idle?
But why would it be awake so much when i'm not using it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try CPU Spy. That's what I use to show what percent of time the phone was in Deep Sleep for. It doesn't tell you what apps have caused you to wake from Deep Sleep, but should give you better figures
You seem to have poor reception. Maybe its the phone switching from 2G to 3G or switching towers?
I had wake issues on firmware 2.3.3 where the phone would be awake for up to 90% of the time, 2.3.4 seems to have fixed it.
could be apps syncing data in the background?
empty the dalvik cache folder and restart your phone......let the phone setup the cache for each app again .
i was having very bad battery life .. its like just 2hrs off gaming and 5 hrs normal use plus
my message tone use to rang and notification bars shows nothing ... noww ALL is WEll "D
Ok so I've posted in the general battery life thread and have become a bit obsessed of late with my battery stats - short is, I don't think they're good enough and I can't figure out why.
I recently installed Viper but went back to stock as I didn't really need the root or the features. My battery has never really lasted a full day even without the ROM changes. So, I'm now back on stock and factory reset without putting any restore back on, I started from scratch with everything.
There's still something not right with my phone being held awake. I've done the usual, turning off auto sync for nearly all apps, disabled location access for Google apps and have the brightness on 1 when indoors. I'm still getting an awake time of half of the total battery time.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot? I know I'll probably need wakelock access but I'd really like to get away from having to root my device again.
These are my latest screenshots from GSam and I've hardly used my phone today as I've been in meetings most of the day

Thanks!
Without the wakelocks info.... It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
You can disable location completely and see if it matters.
And do you listen to music? That adds to awake time every minute it's playing.
Has anyone noticed this on their Edge? I'm running the latest software release including the OTA. On my previous phone the GS4, I never had the same issue with WiFi calling and this type of drain in the same location.
So far, I've tried turning off VoLTE, but I'll need a few days to see if it makes a difference. Any one else have other suggestions?

There is a discussion going here about this:

Some are saying turning off wifi fixes it. I'm testing it now
Turning off WiFI fixes the issue. This is what you should do: Turn off wifi, fully charge phone, restart.
Thanks, I'll give that a try. It should be a permanent fix correct? Hopefully there's a software update soon.
Ok...So here are my current stats. I had Wi-Fi off the whole time. About twenty minute phone call, web browsing, about 1.5 hours of audio streaming with screen off.
I am okay with this and think it will just get better as the phone settles in.
Lost about 8-9% overnight while sleeping.

I've bought my N5x 8 months ago, and I've never achieved more than 3h+ screen time.
After upgrading to nougat, nothing changed. So that's why I'm starting a new thread
At this point, I dont really know what to do. I've tried disabling Ok google, location, nothing changed.
Here are some tests

Some tests from today. I've charged the phone yesterday, left it, and then used it today for 1h straight
I was thinking to buy a new battery, or maybe I've read that the G2 battery which has more mAh fits too.
In android there aren't tests which indicate the real capacity of batteries like on Windows/Linux PCs
I was always on 3G btw.
I don't know much I would say it's the data connection taking up too much, or maybe you don't get good reception and the phone keeps trying to get it, judging that by the red lines I see I the bar graph thingy.
I've recently changed my mobile provider but no changes at all
Restart your phone and delete cache
Already wiped my phone days ago... Nothing changed at all
Another test, this time, I've disabled REALLY everything, from app syncronization, location history, location set to OFF
But the battery life is still awful enough! I've got barely 3h of screen (charging it a bit, so we are between here)
Hey guys. I have a M5 dual, Android 6.0, unlocked BT and rooted. Since I updated to 6.0, my battery stands for less than one day. It used to last at least 2 full days.
Looking at the battery usage, Wifi seems to be the problem. However, I'm not using wifi at all. For testing purposes, I disabled wifi, wifi scanning, and location is set to device only mode, but it still reports that Wifi is eating more battery than anything else.
The only way to stop wifi from appearing in the list is setting the device to airplane mode. Does anyone know what it could be?

Ive disabled adaptive brightness and wifi scan and now the battery life is better.... But not even close to 2 days life
I kept looking for a solution and I found one that worked at least for me. It's worth a try if you're having the same issue with WiFi being what drains the most battery life.
Settings, backup & reset, Network settings reset.
This will wipe all your network data, including your stored WiFi passwords. If you had to download any configuration data from your carrier to make your 3g/4g work, you'll have to download it again.
