After updating to 5.1.1 (OTA, stock firmware) the battery is draining fast on my galaxy s5 mini.
When the phone is fully charged and then powered off, after one night, the phone is fully drained.
This does not occure, if i remove the battery from the phone overnight.
At normal use, the battery drains also fast, use to have 2 days, but now i'm lucky if a can use it for 1 day without recharging...

Reinstalling 5.1.1 or going back to 4.4.2 (G800FXXU1ANL1_G800FLUX1AOC1_LUX) does not solve the problem.
Clearing cache / swap does not cure the problem.

Does someone has a clue? Bad Kernel or setting?

Had the same Problem. If the Phone is older (got mine at the release so 2 Years old) you better change your Battery Pack. That solved it in my case.

Did you try Battery Calibrator from Play Store? If it doesn't help then probably you need a new battery as said before...

Yes, I noticed that, too. It improved standby drain by a lot and slightly the battery life while using the phone...
This is pretty bad :/
You were able to "hide" the effects, but not fully disable them.
Wierd, almost only samsung phones have that issue :p
Well, guess its that waiting game again...
