In the family we have two SM-J320FN phones, one is mine and the other is my wife's. We used the original samsung firmware two years long until the warranty expired. This time our phones worked two days without charging with normal usage.
I upgraded my phone to the LineageOS 14.1 with the lineage-14.1-20191225-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte upgrade. It works good, I love it. Sometimes it begins to discharge quickly (after special operations, for example last time I shared my phone's mobile LTE internet access through wifi with my desktop computer - I used it 10 minutes long and after it I closed sharing and switched off the mobile internet connection, but the fast discharging rate remained until the phone was restarted), but normally I still have the two days working time.
Three months after upgrading my phone a did it with my wife's one too, but I used the last LineageOS version (lineage-14.1-20200125-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte). And everything I do his phone discharges in less than a day. I tried everything, I uninstalled suspicious apps, logged the battery and the phone with GSAM Battery Monitor, I swapped the battery between the two phones, nothing changed. My phone works 2 days long, my wife's phone works 14-16 hours long.
Do you think some changes in the last version of the OS can cause this fast discharge? Does it make sense to try the older version? And in this case, can I downgrade the phone without resetting and deleting the user data?
Thank you for any good ideas.
