G950F root battery drain - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm posting this once again hoping one of you is experiencing the same problem.
The gist of the story is, when I root my phone, it drains battery quick leaving me with 2-2.5h SOT. When it's not rooted, it goes back up to 6h SOT.
This is not a rogue app problem, it's not a kernel problem, it's not a media scanner problem, it's a ROOT problem. And it stems from the days of Oreo, all the way to now where I'm on the latest OneUI build (February patch).
Somehow, when magisk or SuperSU is installed, it just drains battery quick. Does anyone have the same problem?
For clarification: tried safe mode, both rooted and u rooted with the same outcome: more drain on root than on non-root. Also tried COMPLETELY formatting the phone, and go from there with absolutely no third party apps installed; same outcome.
Thanks.

[Q] Severe battery drain

I am noticing sever battery drain since my upgrade to 4.4.2 (shout out to JasmineRom!) but now my battery is getting murdered. Befor you ask, yep clean wipe and install, and yep xposed installed. Battery stats says it is "NFC Test". I don't have NFC turn on, so im trying to figure out how to kill the process. Anyone else have the same issue? I know 4.4.2 is a drain and im wondering if I found the culprit.

If you're on Jasmine 2.0 it is a known issue, you can either install a different ROM or wait for 2.1 to come out which will fix the issue.

Android System Battery Draining

Hi all
I'm kinda frustrated and this is my story.
I have Edge + for less than an month (this is my firs Samsung device). I feel pretty familiar with the rooting and other installation, so after I got this device I installed PhilZ Recovery and the Arter kernel.
The device was kinda laggy and after I've tried to restart the device it stock on FRP lock and I flashed the original firmware and decided to let it chance. After that no matter what I did including reflashing
the original firmware, Android System keeps draining the battery, in one night it lose 30% with doing nothing (I guess it is some deep sleep bug). It's like CPU works half of the time while the device is turned on
(with or without Screen is ON).
My question is why actually this happen? Is it common issue with the original firmware? What can I do?
All advises will be welcomed.
Thanks!

I would suggest finding the stock firmware and kernel and re flashing both clean. I have the Edge+ international version and I also rooted and flashed the Arter kernel... But i do not have deep sleep issues. I will loose probably 2-3% battery over night with sync and Wi-Fi off.

That exactly what I did I flashed (even a few times) the original kernel and ROM via Odin but the issue is still there.
2-3% per night it's nothing comparing to my 30% So I guess you don't have any deep sleep issue

Hey. Yeah G3 is the best in deep sleep case. no drainage for a day for 6 days just %1,, but too much drainage while using tho
I'm not sure if my problem is the same as yours. But my phone was facing the same battery issue on stock firmware. I turn off everything, even with flight mode on, the battery drain was like 30-40% overnight.
After I installed gsam battery monitor, I found out that the android system was the main culprit. The android system drain amount was like 7-10 times to kernel (android os), and the apps also showed that my phone was kept awake all the time. No matter what firmware I used, the problem still persists. Fortunately, the problem was then solved when I installed arter97 kernel, or any kernels other than the stock one.

Yea, this is the exact my problem. Eventually I flashed Arter97 kernel and seems like the issue actually disappeared.
Thanks!

Might be simple, but have you actually tried resetting the phone completely and re-rooting it?
Also, overheating can cause battery drain. The throttling of the CPU does require some power, so if you're phone is always running hot, yes, you will notice this.

Urgent! Battery drain with NPJS25.93-14-15

Community of xda I need your help in the following:
I recently made a change and received a g4 plus motorcycle, originally had the patch on November 1 or September, one of those two
I have downloaded the complete firmware that included the patch NPJS25.93-14-15
1. I have the bootloader unlocked
2. I have ElementalX + root + xposed + greenify to hibernate my applications
Where does my post come from? simply that I am noticing that my battery is draining until when I have the screen off since I use whatsapp web
What do you recommend me to do?
Is there a profile for elementax that solves the problem ???
Absolutely no battery drain here with NPJS25.93-14-15 and ElementalX kernel. Must be on of your third party apps.

Absolutely no battery drain here using latest stock rom with EX Kernel.

Can someone help me to get this resolved (or) how can i remove this patch?
This just keeps me frustrating as every now and then, even when i'm on a call with someone (or) whatever i keep doing with my phone - it restarts

oneplus wallpaper battery drain?

I noticed that the battery is decreasing by itself sometimes without me doing any task on the phone. And so i used GSam battery monitor app and found that oneplus wallpaper is consuming 62% of the battery.
I m rooted with NoLimits module On (using it just to be able to update the software OTA and then reflash magisk rather than having to reflash the whole new rom back)
Can you please help me with this?
