Battery Issue

[MatthewGavin]

The last two days my battery has been draining very quickly. I am not sure what the issue is. I am a teacher and barely use my phone during the day. I only use it during my prep period and during lunch. I usually have around 70-75% when I leave for the day. Yesterday it was around 50% and today it will probably be around the same. The only thing that caught my eye is that the Android System is at 41% battery usage for the past two hours. Is that high?
Power saver is always on. I restarted my phone to see if that fix it, but nothing happened. I am stuck as to what to do.

I am not sure if this is something, but my message app has been acting weird lately. Sometimes it shows that I am sending messages multiple times and is slow at times. Not sure if that is a glitch or something with my phone.

41% is very high and there is a lot of things running in the background.
Unfortunately if you don't "root" your phone and install other apps to help combat the issue, it wont be better.
Turn off the battery saving feature, turn down the brightness, turn off everything you don't need until you need it.
Android OS and Android System should be under 12% in a well tuned phone.
Screen and Cell Standby should be closest to the top in %.

That was happening to me too. I did a reset and it seemed to fix the problem.

Hello am Android_Ayub and i am 14 years old. As you say your battery life is draining fast with not much usage at all. You should know that your display takes the most battery usage on a cellular device and so turn off your phone or minimize your screen brightness for a longer battery life. Also it depends if your phone is running on 4G, 3G or Wi-Fi only. You use 4G i recommend that you switch to wi-fi as that will make a drastic performance of your battery. If you use 3G than switching to wi-fi won't do that much but will still help and if only use wi-fi than when your phone is locked or hasn't been used because its charging than turn off wi-fi. You may not get notifications but to be honest its worth the wait. In addition to that when you turn off your phone your CPU may still be running to the highest amount of GHz but when you switch your phone to battery-saving mode your guaranteed a longer battery life is it will more likely run on 1GHZ. Also cut down on multi tasking it stores alot of space in your RAM which you don't really want. Hopefully i have helped and good luck

It seems that the issue is with the GPS. The GPS is on constantly for some reason. It is draining the battery. There a few people from another thread that have the same issue.

I suggest a cache partition wipe but if nothing else works i suggest taking it to a repair shop for a look because it could be the internal circuit board or the digitizer which is broken which keeps pressing the gps button but it also be because of the lack of storage which is the problem, i'm sorry i can't help without the right resources this is just an odd guess.
