S5 Dead Overnight

zzk2009

Lurker
I have the SM-G901F version, 805 processor.
I finished charging my device last night at 100% and took it off before sleep, all was well. I woke up this morning, and it was dead at 0%.

Something similar has happened twice in the past and that is the screen refusing to turn on, and when it does it jitters a lot and says a certain app has crashed. The first time THIS happened, it said nova launcher crashed. The second time, same day, I locked the device while still in whatsapp and the same thing above happened but this time it said WhatsApp crashed, this leads me to believe it's not Nova launcher causing it but you never know. During the time of these crashes when the screen was off, I had rapid battery drain.

This is why I think overnight something like this happened, and since I didn't try and wake it up like the other two times the battery continued to drain. However, I have attached an image of the battery info suggesting that the phone app caused this.

*I close all apps before sleeping, all the time.
*Data off, blocking mode on.
*Never leave it on charge over night
*UK device, only had it for about 1 month.

That is weird that the phone used 79%. Did you pocket dial someone over night? or I have had issues with a faulty charger/cord previously which drained the battery extensively. The remedy, a different charger/cord.
 
Nope neither. And it doesn't happen all the time it's random. I think it's related to that crashing/screen not turning on issue I mentioned in first post. Why does that even happen?
 
Why not go back to stock? If it's ok, then you know it is one or more of your apps causing the problem and not the phone. Phil
 
have you found any apps running when you unlocked the screen? That is, when it had enough battery to actually still be running. I have an app monitor that is just a green circle and there is a number there indicating the number of apps still running. I always make sure that thing is zero before locking the screen.

I also use MacroDroid to turn off the Internet when the screen locks, and likewise, MacroDroid turns the internet back ON when the screen unlocks. A lot easier than trying to remember to do that manually.

I am getting 2 days use with a moderate amount of daily use.
If the phone is just left idle and not used, it will easily go 5 or more days on a charge.
Unlock the screen though and it is fully up and running and ready to do anything I ask of it.
