Dreaded battery drain back after 4months!

[Yaz_Android]

Hi all,

So after months and months of joy with no issues on battery drain (I cant post a link to my previous thread i need 10posts I have only 8! )
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ery-s6-wifi-signal-very-poor-please-help.html

last week outta the blue i noticed my battery starting to drain significantly throughout the day and night. I have all the usual settings up and running including doze..

GSAM shows the following - any ideas? I have not changed anything, cant think of any apps I have downloaded in the last 2 weeks so what has happened to cause this damn battery drain. GSAM shows screen is draining huge amounts but again I haven't changed any settings - well I tried changing from Adapative Display to AMOLED Photo this morning in the hope this would save a few percent but to no joy.. Any help would be appreciated folks..

Ive attempted to post some pics of GSAM but I need 10posts and looks like I only have 8..May need to send a few bumps O

Some app is stopping your device from either going into deep sleep or somehow keeping the screen active.. very odd. Installed anything recently that could have triggered this?

If nothing helps.... hard reset.. After 4 months of not having any problems there is something you changed or installed....

Installed nothing for months which is why its so baffling!? Is there any way i can find out what it is thats draining the battery so bad - it's literally draining a few percent every few minutes whether in use or not.

Hmm factory reset is last resort really, I loathe having to set up all the folders and apps etc up again. I seriously dont have a clue what I changed - i certainly dont recall downloading / upgrading anything.

maybe someone added spy ware to your phone... am I'm not sure a reset even removes that

Try wiping the cache

Check to see what apps have been updated recently. That might be your problem. It has happened to me. Luckily my phone is rooted and I just rolled back the bugged app.

I read this somewhere else aswell and within playstore had a quick look at installed / updated apps. uninstalled those I dont use much and updated Doze aswell which I'm hoping will be helping in the background. Will report back

Just thought id post to say the issue remains the same it seems a few others have reported similar problems starting a few weeks ago - guess were in for a wait till 6.0 is released!

I recently made a difference on my S6 by removing Twitter, Facebook, and Gas Buddy apps and replacing them with Chrome shortcuts.

I am having the same issue as the OP and I can't figure out what is causing it. It is extremely frustrating that my device has become borderline unusable.

It seems that you have bad network coverage. Try using diffrent carier that has good network coverage in your area.
Bad network coverage drains your battery fast.
