Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.

It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!

Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%

Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.

Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!

Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.

Impressive Battery Life?

Hey everyone, I have now had my Nexus S for 3 days and have loved every minute of it.
One of the things that has surprised me is the battery life. Check it out:

I still have 39% battery after two days! This is really amazing I think. Granted I only had 2 phone calls in that time but I have been texting a lot and playing around with settings.
How long does your battery last and do you have any tips on improving battery life?
I am running CM7.1 with Go Launcher Ex and have the brightness set on very low plus I don't use screen orientation switch either.
What is your screen on time?

I use matr1x kernel wich has the best batterylife for me, but i still have to recharge every day...
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
I run it completely stock and unrooted, and get about a day with average use. By far the best smart phone I have owned.
Matrix or Trinity seem to give the best battery life.

Sorry I don't know how to find screen on time.
I put my phone on charge after 2 days 22 hours and it was still on 19% but I charged it to be safe because I am expecting a very important phone call.
Calculating data regarding battery stats using morfic TEUV-S22-05102011, you could reach around 80 hours with cell connected but having very little activity.
Same place as that pic but click on display that will have shown display on time

That's still impressive battery life.
For the people on matrix or trinity kernel, how long is your battery lasting you off charger? And how heavy of a user are you? Just curious been messing around trying to get it over a day :/

Battery getting destroyed lately... ideas?

Starting last night, my battery is getting destroyed when the phone is not in use. I haven't installed anything new, apps included. Running Cleanrom 4.5 DE.

Nothing coming up on BBS. That drop was when I was sleeping. Looks like a 25% drop in the span of minutes. Same thing happened today. Went from fully charged to 90% to 59% in an hour or so of no use. And from the looks of battery usage, it was pretty much just Wifi, Network and screen. Nothing else.
Not sure what is going on really.
something is holding a wakelock during that time, at least that's what I gathered from the picture.

Oddly, the highest wakelock was 5minutes. Didn't have any severe wakelocks. Not sure what exactly would cause a 25-30% drop.
Whole thread on this that I have been apart of. The OP actually has two issues but his second one if this issue and the one that is mostly covered in the thread. Only happens at night. Can't figure out what is causing it. I let AT&T know but they haven't gotten back to me. HTC tried to blame it on facebook. Seems like a handful of people are noticing it. Most wouldn't because they charge their phone at night.

Went through the thread, seems similar but less extreme drop for me. I'm in Queens, NY.
Today my phone is fine... And Friday I had close to 24 hours on battery with around 3 hours screen time and 35% left.
The drop last night was from using the phone, not idle.

[Q] Phone got up to 48 °C while charging, and other battery issues

Kinda worried this will happen again. It has never happened before. Looking at my charging stats, it was on full charge for about 5 hours. It was charging abnormally hot, like at 38 to 40.
Should I be worried? Is there a fix?
Also, I would like to mention that after flashing back to stock and OTA-ing to 4.0.4, my battery life has been piss poor, doing the same stuff as I did before. It barely holds its charge throughout the day, even if I did half as much before I reverted to stock. Is this normal, or should I run a battery calibration tool?
Thanks!
Take a look at the battery guide I wrote up in the stickies from the General Section, the third post has a charging trick also that might help if you're getting battery reporting errors. Have you wiped battery stats after flashing? Also, I'm on the 1st leak ICS (or was, now on CM10), and my battery life is great...

It definitely looks miscalibrated, after looking at your post. I didn't wipe my battery profile after flashing, so that's probably the reason.
I don't have CWM, but the battery calibration app seems like it wipes the file, as long as their Market description is accurate. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration)
Should this still work?

Yes, a battery calibration app from Google Play will work just fine for wiping battery stats...

[Q] Insane battery drain from Android OS

So while charging, phone is extremely warm...
I pulled it off the charger last night and 2 in the morning, went to check time and it was dead when I woke up.
I plugged it in 4 hours ago, and it's only gone up to 91% also.
I also don't have my sd card to micro usb doodad to pull the backup.... -_-
What causes this type of drain?

Reboot it. Also leave ROM and kernel in reply.
If the problem survives a reboot then worry about it.
I rebooted last night, and unplugged it to see the drain. At 8 in the morning it was at 30%. I'm just waiting for it charge so I can test again. It's 96% now though.
I have Mahdi rom, and mahdi kernel for the newest update.
Last night I had Uber kernel and Mahdi rom 2.7.
And the phone was at 100... It's still draining.

Question Battery Life

I am interested in this battery performance? What SOT are you getting? What do you get for battery time the medium power saver mode?
Any screen shots are appreciated.
It's on Friday and I feel like the first 48 hours it was draining pretty quick. I upgraded from the OnePlus 6t and I certainly feel the slower charge.
Waiting for it to fully discharge and then I'm going to give it a full charge and then I will post my battery stats after seeing how long it lasts.
Full charge before bed last night .. and I drove around a bit today with it plugged in for about 30 minutes. Going to bed now at around 50%. Not going to charge until tomorrow.

I am still trying to figure out if I have a battery drain issue. I am getting the same usage as what I did as my A70. After full charge it says it will last around 22 hours. Usage is the same as with my A70, not sure if that is right.

Standby uses about 1% for every two hours for me with Always On Display. That is always my benchmark even for my last Samsung. There's something using battery wildly if it goes too high after some many hours or even within one hour.
A hint there, try rebooting 3 times in an hour or so. My last Samsung had an issue where normally one reboot would fix the battery drain but it would every now and then require two more to fix the drain.
The battery use stats might help you narrow down to something but if not then you have to factory reset or disable or remove stuff. If its with the rom then it gets more difficult.
If you are seeing the 1% standby for even an hour or two then it should be fine there and the drain is only while the screen is on.
You might also be able to spot certain things the the logcat.
Thank you for your reply. I will try to reboot it. I have done a factory reset but it hasn't helped. I will test it for a few days.
I have 9hours Screen On Time on a pixel experience rom.
AOSP does wonders to this device.

You never know. Funny how much reboots fix things that shouldn't need fixing in the first place
