hi all i use a w8 and my battery life is just awful
sbout 1% every 30secs on use and 1% every 45 mins on standby ...it just sucks
- i use GDX rom
-rooted
-stock kernel
-use 360 launcher
thats it
my battery seems to be buggy cause sometimes it shows 64% and iwhen i restart it shows 67% ...any help?
I've read battery life has some to do with the rom and I just saw a post that says after flashing a from to wipe battery stats in recovery I'm looking that up now also I don't think a battery saving app would hurt I use juice defender but I'm a noob Im only telling you what I read so look into it to make sure

I use juice defender too. I found that it helps a lot - doesn't matter if it was rooted or not, battery life improved a lot with the app.
hmm kay i think i will try defender ..but srlsly i dun get why it drains so fast ..i tried with 3 other roms but with no good
Try these steps below.
Lower down your Brightness
Set your Phone to Power Saving Mode
Turn off your Wifi when your not using it.
Download Power Saver App: Easy Battery Saver + Task Killer.
ermmmy phone don't have power save mode...it;s a rather old model ..and i never NEVER on wifi , bluetooth , 3G ,data , sync etc ...and i put brightness to lowest ( to save battery since i am in a crisis )
ok so i install juice defender ...and something weird is going on ...my battery never moves ..which is goo and wird .it's stuck at 7f 2or a hour s i restarted and it's at 65% for 2 hrs now is this a bug or is my phoe's battery life is insane?
Ya i use juice defender on extream then just ad the apps i want data and wifi for then i use white killer a root app killer and it frees up half my ram from crapware now all i need to get is titanium pro to freeze my crap ware after doing this my optimus thrill trill has probly 3 times the battery life and if your fermilure with this modle it really sucks juice.

This post contains the news that wiping the battery stats has zero effect.
still...my battery life is SHIIII
You mentioned your phone is an older model; the issue might be that your battery is wearing out. After so many cycles of charges/discharges they lose capacity. You might want to look for a low cost replacement battery if the mods you're trying for your phone aren't helping.

nono ..w8 is released at may 2011 i bought my phone last month ( it was flawed ) so lst week the retailer gave me a new phone and this issue happen
Hey Guys,
I remember the first two days I had my HOX, i thought the battery life was amazing but now on the 4th day it seems to be getting worse. I don't know if it has to do with the 1.82 RUU or other stuff i have running so I thought I ask.
With the screen off in sleep mode, i lose about 1% every 45-60 mins. The only things I have running are the default HTC sense weather, battery indicator and gmail widget. I just turned the wifi setting where it would shut down after the phone goes to sleep but that doesn't seem to be helping.
Overall today i used it for a few mins for txt and basically installed two apps and i'm down to 80% already since 7:00am. It did push maybe 5-6 emails to the phone while it was off.
Anyone else seeing this kind of battery life?
George
Is this your first smartphone? That is pretty decent battery life for the type of phone it is. You're getting much better battery life than a lot of people in these forums. This belongs in the battery life thread that is already started though.
My phone lasts from 8am to 4am daily, with ~2 hours of screen usage, 1-2hrs of calling, and wifi always on. By the end of the night, I have a minimum of 25% remaining, and sometimes even 40-45% or so.
The only time it dies quickly is when I'm in an area with no service, then the "cell standby" time shoots through the roof and kills the battery like no tomorrow.
Maybe you should download CPU spy and check to see if it's deep sleeping or not. If not, or if it spends too much time at higher frequencies, check out Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks/other apps that are taking up too much usage time.
Option two you should probably try anyway, CPUSpy or not.
The battery stats are bogus... my phone was off the charger for 2 hours with the screen off and lost 18% and yet my stats say it was asleep... downloaded better battery stats and I'm finding the culprit today

Battery has been horrendous lately. My GSII blew this thing out of the water in terms of battery life

I got betterbatterystats installed and it's saying my phone does NOT go into deep sleep mode.
In the past hour:
Deep sleep: 3 seconds
Awake time: 1 h 35 minutes
Screen on: 12 minutes
What would cause my phone to never sleep even though the screen was off for 1 hour and 20 minutes? ....

Im pretty sure its betterbatterystats. I uninstalled mine and battery life significantly improved.
Is there any way to test if my phone is sleeping without BBS?
I JUST installed BBS because my battery life has been pretty bad these past 2 days...can't make it to 3 hours screen on time (which is why I returned my galaxy note)

It mean ur phone even if the screen goes off there's process that make ur phone doesn't put to deep sleep (like app with auto update on e.g twitter or facebook and so on, depend on your app in the phone)
In BBS, you can check what things that make you phone didn't put to asleep. You can find it in Kernel wakeup/partial wakeup/other in BBS.

+1 for this. I got about 9 hours with this on. I'm now at 2 days and counting with it off.
WiFi performance will keep your phone awake. It's good for long downloads and such, usually when screen goes off it'll go into low performance mode and will crawl for downloads. It has a purpose, just remember to turn it off after

I actually figured out that that was the problem causing no sleep. I was having WiFi problems which were fixed by this...but figured it may have an effect on the battery too. I switched it off and turned my phone screen off for 10 minutes...right away 10 minutes of deep sleep showed up.
Getting much better stand-by battery life...unfortunately I'm on my phone a lot (for texts, facebook, twitter, instagram, web browsing) and the screen on battery life still won't go past 3 hours! :/

You can use CPU Spy...
There is a battery thread... But to the OP, that's pretty decent.
for me... 29% on for 14 hours and thirty minutes. Screen on 1:32. 1:47 for voice calls. And I did a lot of music streaming.
WiFi high performance is good when you need it, otherwise turn off because it prevents your phone from deep sleep. Fastboot should also be killed unless you need it. Fastboot is only useful if you turn your phone off and on often. No difference for rebooting. Some apps don't like it.

Anyone experiencing battery drain on ICS? I upgraded, rooted, and removed some of the bloatware to help. Thought it was fixed but my tab is dead again. Says the Android OS is taking up my juice. Was never a problem before. Could leave it on standby for days with HC. Now its dead in a day or less.

I initially saw similar behavior, but once I killed the cached processes once, and since have shut down to charge and started new, I haven't seen that behavior.
Do you have WiFi on? Could it be you have apps that are checking to be updated? I know in the past on my phone my Amazon Appstore has a habit of starting itself up and continually checking for updates for itself and for any apps I got from Amazon.
Tried it both ways...wifi on and off.
Try using CPU spy (free in market) or betterbatterystats (free- search for it here on XDA) to see what is eating up your battery exactly.

I noticed that I had a conflict between "Power Savings" settings and the "Display" settings. Putting them both at 1 minute resulted in an always on screen I had to disable the Power Savings to correct the problem.
I did have something odd happen yesterday that seems to have kept my screen on for 4 hours. When I got home and opened my case the tab was very warm, and shut off. And all but entirely out of power, before that it has used about 10 % in 17 hours of standby with about an hour of use, or so.
I think it is possible that an app that previously didn't keep the screen on is now for some reason keeping it on, and I didn't notice when I closed the leather cover.
No issues today, but I am going to try and see if I can find some release notes to tell me about the new download for ICS for the P6210, perhaps this is addressed?
Just to update I installed the betterbatterystats. I showed a couple of things that were keeping my tab awake. Once I fixed those I thought that would be it but it was still draining. I then installed juice defender and had it turn wifi off every time I turned the screen off. That did it. Was never like this before the update but at least its good to know I fixed it.
i suggest checking better battery stats for AudioOut_1 Partial Wakelock. its been draining my phone fast when i upgraded to ICS.
check it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629346
now my battery is working great.. i just left my tab for 10 hrs in the locker when i got the tab its still have 97% battery.
for me i just checked and changed my wifi sleep policy from never to when screen turns off and its fine now. :highfive:
I thought about this very issue; I decided to wait.

Did you download the ICS as opensource? Myself, I am deciding to wait for the OFFICIAL verson to be released.
I had the same problem. i even went back to HC to make sure
the issue is not there (it wasn't) and upgraded to ICS
again (full wipe all the time). No luck something keeps
my device unable to go to deep sleep.
Now i'm back at HC again

The version is OFFICIAL .
It's just available only for some countries.
i had the huge battery drain issue while in stock ICS..
the tablet simply refused point blank to go into deep sleep.. in HC it would but not in ICS.. i would take the tablet fully charged to work and not use it much there.. by the time i was travelling back it would be 60% drained in not using it througout the day...
recently flashed to aorths CM9 build and all my battery woes are gone.. now when i get back from work the battery is at 96%!!
battery drain during usage is the same but the CM9 build has awesome battery conservation stuffs for when you dont use it..
would suggest everyone who has these battery issues to move to CM9.. really helped for me.
My battery usage on CM9..

Early results show Juice Defender is helping a lot with mine too. Thanks for the tip!
Next morning: Just the free version of Juice Defender using the default profile took me from 35% overnight drain yesterday down to 3% overnight drain today. That's not bad. It should be even better tomorrow because I've turned off all location services after seeing that BetterBatteryStats says Google location is the worst single offender at keeping wifi going overnight.

Could you tell me how you "killed cached processes" please?
I am having similar battery drain. I am in the process of completely charging battery after it drained 40% in sleep mode last night, wifi off in sleep mods, notifications off, sync off.
I have already done a reset to factory, tried draining battery, and recharged in off position.
Nothing is helping so far. I have installed better battery stats, and CPU spy this morning, and will have data tomorrow morning.
thanks for any help

I had the same exact problem ever since the stock ICS update. My Tab Plus is all stock, no mods at all. The battery would completely drain after one day, and I have very little on the Tab Plus. Nothing helped at all, so I finally bit and did a factory wipe. The battery drain stopped immediately, so I started changing the settings back to the way I like it.
Then, next day the battery went completely dead again! I back tracked and figured out exactly what it is which makes absolutely NO SENSE - turning off wifi in sleep was what was draining the battery! See my screen captures. Notice on the first screen shot, as soon as the wifi stays on the battery drop bar stayed almost flat.
I observed a similar behavior on my 100% stock AT&T GS3 phone also, turning wifi off during sleep causes more battery drain.
I'm getting "suspend backoff" under kernel wakelocks which is preventing my tab going to deep sleep when unused. Everytime I wakeup in the morning my tab is dead. The only solution I found was to turn off wifi if I'm not using it. Anyway fixing this?

Juice Defender. The free version of the app, using the default profile, should take care of this.

Hello all,
I have had my 8013 about a month now...
It has gone from have over a day of charge to about 3/4 of what it had.
I haven't let it run down and top it off whenever I get back to my desk.
Did I accidently overcharge it and damage the battery or should I do some recalibration?
I see there are recalibration utilities in the store, but wanted to ask before making a situation possibly worse.
Thanks

I have the same question as you!
I can't tell if it is more hardcore/prolonged use over the holidays causing me to think my battery smaller... or if its actually happening...I definitely THINK i notice a difference!
Try using better battery stats and cpu spy to make sure your device is sleeping properly.
It seems to be correct and sleeping right also. Anyway to reset the battery indicator?
If you flash a rom, your battery stats don't get changed and could lead to incorrect readings. If you're rooted, charge your battery to full, boot into clockworkmod recovery, advance, and wipe battery stats, reboot, unplug and let it discharge normally until it's dead before you plug it back in. And keep a lookout for rogue apps that hog resources, of course.
Edit: Lithium ion batteries shouldn't need calibration, due to it having no memory.

Strange :
Have mine since September in maximum use everyday as notebook replacement, since 4 weeks also as central remote (Touchsquid) for my home cinema + AllShare Play source on my Sammy TV and my note is still good for 10 hrs + on 3G and 12 hrs + on WLAN (100% down to 5% each)
My wife's note is the same .........
It even seems that with 4.1.2 it even improved .........

After NI1 Updated : Battery Life ,Performance &Any Problem On This Update Plz Post It
Please Post What Are The Problems You Are Facing On This Update : Like Battery Life , Performance & Any Problem
Please Post Here :
I updated my stock S4 the other day and my battery life has just dropped off a cliff. Before the update, a normal day would use 50-60% of my battery. Since the update, i'm down around 10% by 10pm in the evening ... and I dont use my phone very much at all. Wifi is on, GPS and Bluetooth are off. And it appears that the Android System is using about 50% of the battery. (Right now, the phone has been on for 2.5 hours with no calls and no web surfing and the battery is down to 85%)
Any idea what might be causing the problem?? or a solution?

Switch off all the Samsung bloat S-Beam, Screen Mirroring, Air View, Motion and Gestures. Turn on Power save mode.
Switch off auto-brightness and select the brightness you like.
installed stock NI1 from Uruguay. Best battery life ever. Super fast response and screen clarity with above settings.
The only thing missing cannot root using towelroot.
battery sux after Nl1
By lunch today I was at 11%! Normally I would be at 45-50% by lunch, and my phone does come off the charger at 5am. In the past I've been able to keep everything on (GPS, BT, Auto Brightness etc) without running into this kind of battery drain.
Try a factory reset and see.
Normally you should reset after an update.
If that doesn't work, download the old stockrom and flash it
Try flashing back firmware NB1
