Details on my phone (just in case you want them):
-Device is on Weapon G2x 2.4 ROM
-Using JuiceDefender free
-Just got the device on the 26th of this month
-Background data is on, but as far as I know, no apps are on push notifications except for WhatsApp
-The only thing on auto sync my main gmail account, and Sync Gmail is the only item checked.
So this morning after I unplugged my phone, I stayed on 100% for about 1 hour and 10 minutes until I received a phone call (which was only 1 minute) then the battery finally dropped down to 99%.
So I thought cool, on idle I get around an hour before the percentage drops. Then I browse for about 15 minutes, then about 2 hours after that I send an MMS after looking at a picture in the Gallery app. So I put the phone down after noting in my head the percentage.
About 20 minutes later, I check my screen and see that the percentage dropped by 1%. Really weird. I didn't think too much about it but wish it wouldn't drop so fast. Then after another 15-20 or so minutes it drops 1% again. I'm not getting that 1% per ~1 hour drop rate on idle. I look into Battery use and see the Gallery app at the very top. Here's a picture of it:

*TLDR* - Was getting a 1% drop of battery life per ~1 hour of idling, went into Gallery app to send an MMS, then started getting 1% drop of battery life per 15-20 minutes of idling.
Really odd. Could the Gallery app being in the background be the reason for this weird battery drainage I'm experiencing? Or am I being too picky? Hahah. Thanks for reading and thanks for your input in advance. I do thank posts.
I think ur watching ur phone too closely cuz its new. I was doing that too. The battery is fine but using 4g+screen indeed drains the battery fairly quick.
Also remember that battery readings aren't always 1100% accurate, so it could drop 5% in a minute and then stay there for 2 hours

Cool thanks! I am probably getting crazy on checking my phone battery haha. Alright, sounds good. I wonder why they're not always accurate.
Bumping an old thread, but this is happening with mine also, if I open the gallery or camera for anything they are at the top of the list for battery usage all day. Do they stay on in the background and drain the battery?
From what I've seen it is a bug I'm the battery reporting stats.

So this has just happened to me. I wake up from my nap and wake my phone from sleep. I have "Battery Widget" and shows me I have 42% battery life on my phone. I literally go on RedditNews for 2 minutes and it drops to 35%...I go browse the web for a good 30-45 seconds and it drops to 0% and the phone shuts off...
Thinking about maybe factory reset...or I guess I have to go exchange for a new one?
Notice that dip at the end?

This exact thing happened to me yesterday. Showed as 40%, browsed Engadget for a couple of minutes, then it dropped to like 35%. Put the phone aside for 2 minutes, and I hear a beep noise - this was the battery low notification. My phone then showed as 13%. I thought this was very weird and let the phone continue to sit on my desk. Within 15 seconds, it dropped to 2 percent and died. I posted my screenshots in the Battery XL thread. I think we have a rogue app installed that is draining battery, or the battery is just not calibrated at all.
You can try the app Bettery battery stats. Or root it and use battery calibration to calibrate it.

Update: deleted my battery widget from the phone and turned off auto brightness now ny battery is great FWIW
Yeah man, I had some weird battery usage where it'll be on for 40 minutes and drain to 78% with like 20minutes of screen on time.
Here's the weird thing, my battery stats look good, no wake locks.. phone goes to sleep right after screen off. Then I'll check later and it'll say it's been up for 35 minutes. Like it resets the battery stats and is reporting wrong stats.
Reminds me of my Atrix days

Auto brightness is a problem with this phone. I havnt used it with my last 3 phones. I find it annoying going bright then dark
I opened task manager and under settings I turned off start at boot. Under sync I turned off books/videos and changed facebook to never since it uses push anyways.
Seems to help

Hello,
I am usin Huawei Ascend G510 for 5 days now. And I notify that battery usage for this phone is insane. Whili it is in waiting mode then battery laife is very good, during night loss of few % of battery.
Please see in image 2 huge drops around 14:00 and around 18:30.
At ~14:00 I drove and used waze for ~8 mins and battery dropped for 25%. Is this how it should be???
At ~18:30 I played game (not 3d, small game while waiting) and checked whatsapp messages and rss nes read. It is againe ~10 mins and loss of ~25% of battery.
The rest of time between 14 and 18 is working hours and emails incoming, rss feeds updating, calls incoming/ outgoing.
I think there is something wrong. Maybe Huawei has not that good optimized android version or some bugs draining battery while there is continuous usage.
Has anyone here ideas, or experience with the same phone?

This is a brand new battery and brand new phone. Dont think thats the problem, only in case if it is faulty already from factory.

I don't have your phone, but mine does that when the signal from the cell phone tower is weak or if I am using the GPS freatures You can test this by turning off the data connection and/or the GPS and seeing if either/both fixes your battery drain. If this is the case there are some tweaks you can try to make this less of a problem.
I noticed that my phone is most of time awake. And when check detailed battery consumption, then screen is only 5th, which should be somewhere in top. Why first 3 battery consumers are standby, idle and wifi? I don`t think this is normal. Even during nights my phone is awake. Installed some kind of wakelock app, and it shows that it is caused by exchange email.
Any ideas, what to do to find solution?
thanks
Get wakelock detektor from market. And then get greenify to kill your battery eaters.

I think it should work
As the title says, I'm looking for a ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level (No texting, phonebook, data), since the radio fried, and all it's doing is eating up battery.I like my phone enough to keep it, but I'd rather not replace the whole motherboard because of it. Any leads? Or am I better off just building one myself?

That's what I've always done tbqh. Enabling airplane mode has always given me a noticeable uptick in battery life, and when my Skyrocket was a skyPod, I could milk days out of the thing.

Even when the cellular was working fine, it had 2-3 days of battery the way I was using it. Now that it's gypped, I've been getting 10-12 hours. I'll first test around with airplane mode before doing anything too drastic to it.
Might also go the factory reset route, if i can get the Wifi Antenna working again.
That sounds more like a doomsday wakelock than a hardware problem. Have you checked those for vampires?

Yea, I ran GSAM Battery Monitor and it was giving me a 90% total battery usage being used by the cellular radio, 5% wifi usage, and 3% app usage, with 2% wakelock. I also ran the secondary tests, and I have no wakelock isssues from my charger. When airplane mode's enabled, and wifi's on, I get 20% wifi, 40% screen, and 40% apps. Battery drain is now controlled at an estimated 2%/hour while off, and 5%/hour while being used, down from 8%/hour while off, and 12%/hour while being used. For me, usage means moderate use, with a lot of apps and photos.
That seems pretty normal. My Rocket gets about 1% per hour when idle, 5% per hour when in moderate use (apps, browsing), 8-10% per hour if I'm playing processor-intensive games, and I spent months fine-tuning it to kill any and all wakelocks I possibly could. You might have hit the limit there.
I recently got one of this phones off ebay deal. So far the phone has been really good (after going to 5.1.1) other than the battery life which is super terrible. I leave for office at 8AM and by the time I am back around 6:30 in evening its already down to 8-9% with barely 1 hour of SOT. While using the phone I can clearly see battery going down by 1 percent every two minutes.
One of the other things I noticed is it takes a while to charge battery. Almost takes 4 hours to charge it.
Have done everything listed in various thread on XDA to fix battery drain but nothing is helping. To summarize I have
- Rooted my phone
- Disable AT&T enhanced 4G LTE
- Tweak setting with kernel auditor
- Disable ATT bloatware
- Install greenify and amplify
- Installed CF.Lumen to control brightness
Not sure what I am missing here now. Any help is appreciated from you guys.
Does the phone feel warm on the back when it's just sitting?
If so, you probably have a runaway app. You can check the battery section in options and see what's eating battery.
I had this a while ago on nexus 5 with the ebay app, the same also happened to a friend of mine with the same app.
hello, there.
i had the same problem, it seems that your phone is not going to deep sleep mode.
i fixed my problem with Nitro X, you can find it here on xda.
now i am very happy with my battery, for example now it says on battery for 2 days 15h 29min 22s and still 60% battery remaining.
hope this helps.

Thanks. I am gonna give it a shot. I see they have 2 versions - X86 and Non-X86. which one should I flash? Also since flex 2 doesn't support any recovery (twrp etc) should I just flash it with Flashfire app?
hello kunalmalviya,
i downloaded the non x86 (=the arm version).
i do not know about flashfire, you should ask on the forum.
Please click the thanks! button if that helped.
PEACE.
Try reflashing latest software via LG Flash Tool.
I have no issue with battery life. It is slightly better than on LG G2 which is awesome. (3-4 hours SOT without any problems, no tweaks, no root, brigthness on 100%, Wi-Fi, NFC and LTE enabled all the time, Google Now enabled, Google Location Services enabled and lot of apps running in background).
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Nokia 6 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
good

I get about the same but i never use WiFi (have no broadband at home) so i have all that disabled, using 4G T-Mobile LTE only. I don't game though, just GPS navigation, email, text, and browse web and some Netflix and i get about 7hrs of screen time, it doesnt match my Moto X4 or G5 Plus at those are whopping 10hrs screen on in the same usage scenarios.
good battery life. not bad not impressive.
use the device from 10am to 6pm.. always 3g on single sim.. on 4/5hours internet facebook,twitter,gaming etc.. 20-30% left ... on 2/3hours usages 55-70 left..
example today i left home at 90% at 1pm.. used it like 1.5 to 2 hours internet(data remain always on 3g even if i dont use) at 4.30pm it was at 70% i came back home at 7pm.. with 60%+ i used around 45minits in between 5-7pm.
I played asphalt 8 (max settings in tokyo) for 40 minutes, and it dropped the battery about 14%. So as I calculated it takes 285.7142857142857 minutes to discharge the phone from 100% to 0%, it means 4 Hours and 46 Minutes! we can play the game straightly.. and accubattery shows we can keep the phone roughly 8 hours with screen on with some gaming, browsing.
Netlat's calculations correspond with my personal usage. :highfive:
5-8 hours of on-screen full usage. Can last a handful of days with lighter usage. Not bad for it's 3,000 mAh battery size.
