[Q] Battery Bug - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my Galaxy S5 on monday from T-Mobile. It has a bug where the battery was drained by Google + (25%, but disabled it after), Instagram with 10% (uninstalled it), but now, it is Google Play Services doing it. I have photos to show what my issue is. I am running stock T-Mobile latest kernel and rom.

Drive is too high as well when I force close apps through the native task manager often. Idk what is going on?

its wired , I didn't have anything like that , try reset factory or reflash your firmware using odin, here is my battery state but im on the previous firmware (NE2)

Weird Wakelock Issue.

Running uXylon 07/09, with Franco 162 undervolted, and for the past few days my battery is suffering huge Wakelock. Not sure what the issue may be, but I've recently installed the new "Wi-Fi fix" that may be the issue.

I checked your screenies, but - for me at least - they are not so informative. You should get Better Battery Stats. It is available on the Play Store, and it'll help you to nail down whether you have a defective system/user app or you really having kernel wakelocks. So install the app, charge your phone and use it for at least one cycle.

Custom Logo on Start Up

My S5 was a little laggy this morning and I had to restart it. After reboot it shows the custom unlock icon on the Galaxy S5 screen. Has anyone seen an explanation as to why this is happening?

Your s5 has its full apps? the many the application sometimes the phone being laggy a bit.
I think this has to do with running ART as opposed to dalvik

Yes, it's due to enabling ART - switching back to Dalvik does not remove the custom boot screen either - seems it's here to stay.

Sudden Battery Impact

Battery problems are a dime a dozen, I know, but this one cropped up in the last few days and I want to check if it's affecting anyone else.
I have a stock, 5.0 I-9505G, and the kernel (Android OS) and Android System have spiked in usage the past week. I suspect it's connected to a Google Play Services update, but I haven't seen other reports on it.
Anyone else's stock kernel acting out? What would your all recommend?

It's caused by an app, some setting in your phone etc. If you can't figure it out, then try a factory reset.

Battery drain... Is this normal?

Hi Guys,
I am getting a massive battery drain over night while the screen is locked.
This doesn't make sense to me. I am rooted with Arter97 Kernel and the deodoxed rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/development/deodexed-aoh3-t3195044
It was working fine a few days ago.
I have attached some pictures.

If it started a few days ago, its most likely some stuff you changed? Try uninstall apps you recently installed, might help.
Seems you have very bad phone signal. Turn airplane mode on then turn on wifi and let it idle for 2 hours and see how much it drains

Recently started getting weird gradient in most apps

Can close the thread. Still don't know why it happened but a restart fixed it.
-----------
Is this a known thing? I first noticed it in the Google Messenger app but it seems to have spread to most apps. I'm running stock (MPH24.49-18) without root on Verizon.
Included Tapatalk screen as an example, can barely read the recent changes block in the play store due to the gradient.

Ok, that's really strange. Phone had been running for 400+ hours so I went ahead and restarted it. Now everything looks fine again... even the screenshot I attached to this post.
