Battery drainage has been a major frustration for me with my phone. The frustration stems from the many variables associated with battery drainage. For the most part the terrible battery drainage started after flashing the modified ROMs. I believe the stock ROM was respectable when it came to battery drainage.
I am not ignorant to flashing ROMs. I have tried everything to figure out this battery problem; everything to keeping stock kernals, to battery calibration (delete battery stats), to battery bump charging, to matching radio files with RILs, to limiting data syncing, charge cycles etc.
But I am noticing that some of you are able to get good battery usage from a single charge with these modified ROMs. With that said, I want to cut the variables down and see what those folks who are getting over a day's worth of battery usage from a single charge are doing. The best indicator for battery usage to limit variables would be the battery usage standby rate with data network on.
I am not getting any better than 8%/hour on standby for any of these ROMs. That is crap. I wake up in the morning after 8 hours and there is only ~35% battery left. Unacceptable. I figure no more than 10% should be lost in 8 hours of standby.
So for those who have good battery usage, please answer the following questions so that we can eliminate all the variables.
1. What is your standby battery drainage rate?
2. What version phone do you have (TMoUS or EUR)?
3. Clockwork Recovery version?
4. What ROM are you using?
4. What Radio and RILs are you using?
5. How many charge cycles are you doing after the battery calibration and before you are getting the good standby rate?
6. Are you using any battery saving applications?
Please help if you can. Everyone seems to emphasize speed and performance but battery life is number one priority for any phone in my opinion.
Thanks
I'm currently running the P3D Neon ROM. I was having the same issues you are having due to flashing a new ROM jsut about every day. The big thing I noticed is that the longer I stayed with the one ROM the better my battery was. But as I'm sure you already know that no matter what a smartphone is a battery hog anyway.
By the way have you tried this, I am using it and love it !

I've had my phone a week and am using stock Rom. I've S-Off, Root and install backup. Overnite, the battery only goes down 5%
If I were u, I'd get Android Assistant from the Market and check that all apps are closed. Check ur start-up apps and clear ur cache before u shut down ur phone.

More than likely, there are apps that are not allowing the phone to sleep when the screen is off. CPUstats will show you how long your phone has been in deep sleep, as well as your CPU clock speed.
Here is what I would try out:
1-Get CPUstats.
2-Turn off the screen for the night
3-Check to see how long the phone was in deep sleep mode. It should have been for awhile if not, you have a rogue app that is bothering your phone while it sleeps.
To check your standby current:
So far, we cannot accurately see what it is. I dont know of any app that can for our phones. I do know that the values I see cannot be correct, otherwise my phone wouldnt be lasting long.
1-Write down your current battery capacity in mA/Hrs.
2-Write down the time that you put your phone into sleep.
3-Leave it off for an hour.
4-Wake it up and check the new battery capacity.
An Example:
I started with 1900mA/Hr.
I let it sleep for 1 hour.
I found that after an hour, I was down to 1850mA/Hr. That is 50mA gone, over 1 hour time. So my standby current was 50mA/Hrs.
Now this is only a crude way of judging whether or not your phone is behaving. Since the battery apps update capacity every 5 mins or so, you may not be right on the money, but you WILL know if something is BAD. Calculating 50mA +/- 20mA means the phone is likely sleeping as it should. Calculating 300mA+/- 20mA means something is USING your phone without your permission.
Youll need to find out if some apps are syncing (or trying to sync) while it sleeps. Or, your phone may be trying to improve your signal strength.

The anker battery will help but it is not solving the problem. We need to be getting around 1-2%/hour standby drain like some of you guys are getting.

I like this test, I will check it out.
Have to charge almost twice a day... I believe it happened after latest 1.45.531.1 update....
Disabled all animation, got auto adjust for display, disabled all what I could.. Still gives me 12 -16 hours on standby only....NOT even using the phone!!!!
Does anyone have something like that??? Or there is some remedy I skipped?
Sorry if I repeat someone's question.
Running full stock, HTC battery.
Thanks in advance!!
Tester.
PS. Recently exchanged the phone.... First one R.I.P......died completely, didn't even charge.
Is there a chance they swapped a refurbished one on me??? How to find out???
can you provide a screenshot of the battery usage graph? also, have you tried getting an aftermarket, bigger battery such as the anker?
I was the same way as you. I checked my battery graph, and standby was using something like 80% of the battery with almost everything turned off. By the time I got home from work I would need to charge it immediately. I bought one of the Anker batteries on Amazon for $15 bucks or so, and I'm now getting about 2 days for a charge. I don't know what it was with my battery, because it sounds like my experience wasn't typical, but I didn't really feel like going through HTC when I could just pay the $15.
I'm with ya...
This phone was running PERFECT prior to the HTC update. Now I'm having a plethora amount of problems, including the battery. For example, prior to the update I would get 13-16 hours on HEAVY usage... Moderate usage? Try a day or day in a half. Now take today for example, I unplugged my phone a little before 7am and I had 20 something percent 4 hours later.
I'm telling you, that HTC update really messed this phone up IMO.
Thanks, guys!!
Will try to get Anker battery, I believe it's 1900 mAh.
But again something running on the background with that update. We'll see.
I'll try to get the graph, maybe someone'll get some sense of it...
Much appreciated,
Tester.
here are the battery stats...
Display..........74%
Cell standby...13%
Phone idle......11%
Voice calls......2%
THAT'S IT!!! Nothing else is running...... SUX...
Still gives 12 - 16 hours of life on almost idle......
I hate to say it,but if you're battery's dying a lot faster after an update,a bigger battery won't help much.
I'd be getting in touch with HTC and ask them what the heck is going on.
Really annoyed with the battery performance. I checked and only display is using 90% of battery. Tried everything to reduce it but no change.

I've had the same issue since the update. My battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I've become really frustrated with the phone since. I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM in hopes of solving the problem but it's the same deal.
I've confirmed it's not the battery either since I've got another one I've tried and only get the same results. Even with Juice Defender running I get nowhere as great a battery life as I did before the update
I'm doing decent 8hrs 20,mins on batt. With 40% left mostly text and internet browsing

Try clicking the graph at the top of the screen it will give you another screen that shows awake/screen time etc. Is your phone going to sleep when you screen turns off?
I was having the same problem and realized that some app was keeping my phone awake even though the screen was off. I uninstalled 80% of the crap I had installed and now my phone sleeps like it should and battery lasts amazingly long time.

How can you tell if your phone is going to sleep when you lock the screen? What is a good method for this? And if I find it its not sleeping when it should, is there a way to find the culprit easily?

Click on the graph in battery stats, it should show awake time and screen on. If your awake time is constant when the screen on time isn't, then chances are you've got an bad app somewhere preventing the phone from sleeping
my battery life was plain **** on 2.3.3., device was running hot all the time (=waste of energy), charging took ridiculous 4h+! When I took it off at the charger around 23:00 the battery was dead at 14:00 the next day with most time being idle!
Since my update to 2.3.4 things got so much better. charging takes around 2h and battery finally lasted a whole day and had 40% juice left in the evening.
Since I got my 2 Ankers+charger for 20$, battery life is crazy now. Been on one charge for 2d2h and still had 16% left. Pushmail on, wifi on (cellular data only when not at home), brigthness at 100%, taking video, pictues and some navigation, messaging and phonecalls. Oh yeah and a few minutes of flashlight use
I would say between slight and medium use.
If 2.3.4 worsened your batterylife, contact HTC or your vendor.
I now replaced the battery at 16% with the other Anker because I still need to do my 5 charge cycles on that one to calibrate it.
Here's an example of the graph. At the bottom you can see awake and screen on time. I pulled phone of charger last night, did some browsing, then ran for an hour with music playing in the background (you can see the small green bar on awake even when screen is off). After I surfed a little and left it off the charger when I went to bed. The phone is properly sleeping when the screen is off and almost 16 hours and still have 62%.
Before I uninstalled the apps, the awake time was solid green across the screen.
Anker battery worked wonders on my device. Before I would have to throw it on the charger after lunch as I like to go for a beer after work and the stock battery would never make it that far... Now when I get home from the bar I still have ~30% battery. Anker battery FTW!
flash a custom rom and u will go gaga over ur battery life. definitely works for me. on standby overnight drain 0-1%.
I found out that if you don't have strong signal at your location your battery drains pretty fast that's why I always connect my phone to WiFi at my apartment where my phone looses signal sometimes. now I lose just 1-2% of power during a night.
Sorry to hear about your battery troubles. A couple days ago I rooted and switched to "Android Revolution HD 3.0.4" and my battery life seems pretty solid. I wasn't having battery life issues prior to this though.
I'm currently in the process of calibrating the battery:
- drain it mostly
- turn off
- plug it in overnight while still off
- in the morning unplug, wait 15 minutes, replug for a few hours; do this ONLY ONCE or you may damage the battery
- power on, immediately go to recovery, advanced, reset battery stats
- start normally
- drain battery until it shuts down; a continuous stress test or stability test app is probably ideal
- once it shuts off, turn it on again to double-check that it's dead; it should only come on for a second or two
- while off, plug in and allow to fully charge; no fooling around with plugging/unplugging, just normal
- calibration complete!
I think you can follow a similar procedure (minus clearing battery stats) to refresh the battery calibration even without rooting/custom recovery. I've read the effectiveness is similar. The phone just needs to be retaught what "full" and "empty" mean, all in one charge cycle. If you calibrate it wrong you could have issues with it shutting off while still reading ~15% battery life.
Anyway, as I said, I'm in the process of doing this. Currently I'm in the "drain it" phase... with my screen at maximum brightness (remaining on), overclocked to 1.5 ghz, I've been running "StabilityTest" (from market) for one hour and fifteen minutes. It stresses both cores as well as the RAM. At this time, my battery is at around 30-40% or so, and it's getting really hot! The phone's temperature is reading as 54.8 degrees!
Also, yesterday I used the GPS for about 4 hours before it died, this was prior to any calibration attempt. I think this is within typical battery life considering that the screen stays on.
TL;DR: Maybe you just need to try a custom rom or recalibrate your battery. Miscalibrated battery can be caused by flashing/updating a rom, I imagine even when it's an OTA. Sense is crippling your phone anyway, you might as well give it a try IMHO.
get yourself an anker battery..I havent charged my phone since the day before and now i have 20% left! heavy usage

Nope. With data/wifi turned on (data auto-off since Wifi is active), I lose at most 2% overnight. With airplane mode on OR data/wifi off, you should be seeing practically 0% loss.
Check your battery usage and see what's eating up the battery. Sounds like an rogue app/process that's wasting cycles or is out of control.
One of the best things about this phone is its standby life, as it seems to sip battery juice very lightly.
My battery was still 100% after I woke up today.
Nevertheless it dropped very quickly after using the phone, about 11% in 10-15 min but I assume that's completely normal after 8 hours standby.
I have a live wallpaper but it shouldn't work when is screen off. I also have setcpu set so that is practically doing nothing when the screen is off. The live wallpaper cost only 2% of my battery but standby showed 20%. I have no idea why it uses much in standby...

That means that of the whatever % battery (out of 100%) that you've used, 20% of that drain was due to standby. That's not necessarily bad. So if you have 50% charge left, then it means that (50% x .2)% of your drain was from standby. My cell standby has currently used 23% of my current drain percentage. Since your phone is often left in the sleep/not-active state, then a large % of battery drain happens in standby.
Battery usage on Android is frequently misunderstood. And keep in mind that the 2% from the LWP you used is because it's only displayed when you're on the home screen. Otherwise, it remains dormant/paused.
that's strange that you are having that much usage in standby.. i have been getting a solid day and a half out of my battery and it doesnt really use any battery in standby.. there has to be an app of some sort that is sucking the battery or still running.. i always at bedtime though clear the cache thru storage in the settings menu and end all tasks in the task manager and close all the windows/programs with the far right virtual button on the bottom of the screen.. I am a bit OCD but heck if its working why stop..lol
Area with poor cell reception? If you were in plane mode it is an app for sure.

My battery stayed the same overnight. That is with a x2 battery saver which switches off data when the phone is not used and only allows it as special intervals. I have set at 10mins intervals though which is not a huge saver.
I'm doing a test from yesterday to see how long the phone will last with my use. So far from last night im at 39% and when I first turned the phone on it was at 47% from yesterday.

I would have to agree with everyone else. I only experience 1% loss at most times overnight. Best standby battery life i've ever gotten on a HTC phone.
I actually have full bars at home so I don't think that's why. Maybe it's because it's a new battery so I'll try charging it a couple more cycles.
Lost 8% tonight (86/78). Saw this morning that the signal was not perfect. But wifi went off during the night. That should not happen. Maybe my custom rom is switching off wifi on sleep...

It's either a faulty battery or a rogue app. Shouldn't happen to a new battery either.

Right.
Battery lasted up to 2:30pm being off the plug from 7 am the previous morning. So a total of 31hours.
That is with tapatalk, a bit of web browsing, a bit of WiFi and google store updating, 2 short phone calls.
The app. 2x was running on mild battery saving,mainly by cutting the data periodically when the phone is idling.
I must say that this is really good and the phone took quite a while to go from 15% to 4% after which it switched off before I noticed it again.

That looks usual
When my screen is on my battery drains about 1% per minute.
What is your max cpu speed?
Bad battery?
Those stats look normal for the most part, but it also depends on how long the screen was on vs how long the phone was on overall.
Cell standby appears a bit high at first glance, which definitely causes some additional drain if you don't have reception during standby and the phone is searching for reception.

I used the built-in Battery Calibration to calibrate the battery like last week and I noticed that by the end of the day, I still had at least 30% of battery...
I use it to text, listen to music and talk everyday at night at least 3-4 hours with my girl...
I'd suggest to root phone, try a new rom, or use any calibration apps from play store and follow the instructions... worked with my 2 previous phones.. Huawei Ascend, Motorola Droid 2 Global.. and this is 6th android I have and I love it a lot.
The screen is set to 25%. It's only on for about 45 minutes.
I have rooted the phone and am running a very new rom.
i'm pretty much in the same position, my battery drains 1% per minute
I'm on T-Mobile and their "My Device" app will let you know if you need to replace the battery or not. Give it a try.

Are you running an ICS ROM? They seem to be so efficient at everything else that the screen is the major battery sucker. I've played PSX4Droid for a couple hours at a time, and it barely gets above 10% usage.
I run 2.3.4 virtuous unity. I can make it 24 hours before I charge it.
But the screen is the highest user of battery.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
2.3.4 GB here but i honestly say the games and watching videos takes a toll on battery the most.
I used to have awful battery life on ICS and was able to narrow it down to the amazon app store....using like 35% battery.<--disappointing amazon! After uninstalling that I can get about 2-3 hours of screen time. If you're having terrible battery life after flashing a new rom you could try caliberating your battery. I use battery caliberation. When my battery is fully charged I run it, let it drain all the way down then charge it back up. There are probably other caliberation apps out there...or you could delete the battery stats from your recovery. Hope this helps.
edit: just noticed you're talking about Gingerbread, my bad, kinda skimmed over that Caliberating your battery could still help though.
background data
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am not too pleased about idle battery drain.
Overnight, about 8h it consumes about 3%-5%. Sometimes more than 10%, if the device doesn't go in deep sleep for whatever reason..
If commute, it takes more battery (maybe sensors, switch to mobile data, etc).
About 20% in 9hours. wifi most of the time with about 1h hour on mobile data. And movement in pocket about 20-30mins.
My experience with idle drain has been good overall. Getting around 0.5% per hr
My idle drain is horrendous. I'm getting around 20% drain over night (7h sleep) with nothing enabled but WiFi. And that's with Greenify. I'm thinking of rooting and flashing the EX Kernel, but wanted to wait for an obviously outstanding major update before doing so.

Battery was good until yesterday, 8hrs SOT circa. Suddenly battery starts draining and can I barely reach 2,30 SOT. Any idea? No apps showed in battery page, the only app I downloaded yesterday was Textra SMS (Beta), but it's very strange that it can drains so much.

For me Chrome was a big culprit for battery drain. Try to delete the cache and the storage of the app. You can as well disable and it and re enable it. That should be enough. Anyway, Chrome is a battery hog. I am thinking about switching to Opera or Firefox. Any recommendation for browsers?
I use Firefox with the add-on 'Dark Background and Light Text'. I have it set to turn the background of all pages to true black.
2% over night (7 hours) pretty pleased. But it was even better on OP3 when the drain over night was 0-1%
I'm on RR with no GAPPS and lost about 1.5% in about 8.5hrs of not being used (sleep + getting ready in the AM)
I have TASKER, and have set airplane mode to come on 8pm - 3am.
Currently getting roughly 2-3% drain in that "airplane mode" time

What the? Do you have gestures enabled (eg: double tap to wake)?
In my opinion it consumes too much.. one time i got about 3% drain in about 8-9h idle with wifi on and no commute.
That's why i hate android idle drain. A never-ending issue.
SOT only 34 mins, 1h mobile data, the rest on wifi.
I've disabled gestures, location history, no google fit, etc etc
Not bad here. About .3% per hour overnight. So about 2% overnight. That's on 4G as I rarely ever have my phone on WiFi. I also have email at to push (2 accounts) and I usually turn off the sync stuff in my Google account. Things like app data, calendar, contacts and the rest. I just sync when I make changes like adding a contract I then toggle the contacts on then off kind of thing. No need to let it sync all day and night for nothing imo.
I just have that drain when location is set to "high accuracy". When its set to "battery saving" everthing seems fine.
I don't know what's wrong with my device/apps. Several times now i had a standby drain in around 7 hours of 30%+. I didn't plug my phone in overnight because of Dash charging, when I went to bed, the battery was at 37%. The next morning I overslept massively and completely missed my shift because my battery died over night. This is with airplane mode on during 75% of the night. The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

The highest drain in battery settings was displayed for "Android System" with around 12% or so, but that was with the last day counted in. I feel like the battery drain stats in settings are completely unreliable...
Except from that I get normal battery life during the day though, although during the first few days standby drain was higher than screen on drain...

Yeah man you need to download accubattery or something to monitor the drain. That's ridiculous. And yeah I've been kinda confused about the stock battery stats as well. It seems to tell you nothing.
I have noticed a lot more battery drain since the 911 update a few days ago. I was getting 7ish sot now I'm under 5hrs. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed it though. It'll be fixed don't worry.

I had AccuBattery installed at first but it didn't give me any meaningful insights so I uninstalled it a few weeks later.
I normally only get around 3 hours of SOT, but I'm not into mobile gaming or YouTube so that is normal...
I notice significant drain in idle after the 4.5.6 update last week. Android system seems to be the culprit, but not sure what's process under this is actually causing the problem.
