[A]Overheat and Battery drain problem fixed (for me)

Hi everybody, it's been a while i'm trying to fix that problem.
My Sensation XE was overheating 'til 40 degreas sometimes (everytime).
I think it's not a problem with the kernel, or the rom, or anything else in the firmware... I follow some xda fans advices and bought a Saner 1900mah battery, and it simply fixed the problem, my phone never pass over 25,6 degreas it's the maximum i saw. That's for the overheating problem.
For the battery drain problem, my phone is running on the battery since 1 day and 3h 27m'' and i still have 36% of battery Oo. I up a screenshot

So i hope that topic will help, it was just 10 dollars for the battery... no too much..
Peace

I wanna get a extended batterie but do you need another backdoor for the battery ?? And also when you got it what did you do ? Like what steps youve been through?
Put battery
Let it drain to 0%
Then charge back to 100%?

Are you sure the battery temp actually works?
Does it just stay around 25 deg?

Nop no need a new backcover at all...
And yep never get over 25 degreas.

Does the ROM affect battery life as well? What ROM are you using?

And yes when i recieve the saner battery i used ut immediatly and wait to 0% then charge it all night long. You must do it to calibrate the battery.
Im using Ordroid 3.0.2 sense 4 but i dont think it affect à lot on the battery life... Im pretty sure its not... Just a bit.. à tiny bit.

Battery usage critique please!

Hi everyone,
Phone is Sensation XE.
ROM is Virtuous Insquisition 4.0.2 (using kernel that comes with the ROM).
I think i'm a moderate user. I dont surf or play games that much. I do text/chat quite a bit. However, my battery can never last a whole day.

by 7 or 8pm, i usually have to turn off Data, WiFi, GPS ect to save battery.
Can the phone last the whole day with Mugen battery? I've already purchased it. waiting for it to arrive.
Please advice,
Thanks

Yes it should get you through I bought the anker and it works perfectly no issues but I wish I could still get more juice because I am an extreme user lol...

I'm also an extreme user and anker battery helps a lot! What a difference from stock battery!
Not sure about the mugan I've never tried it.I'm sure it will help out a lot I know Anker does.

If you have all those apps up and running they will withoud doubt kill the battery life
The other poster are correct in that a better battery/larger capicity will provide considerable help
Are you aware that Wif uses lots of power looking for and trying to connect to wifi, so if its not connected switching this off help, also GPS is a grat battery hog and should only be on when needed
try without them on for a few recharge cycles and see
I recommend a quality replacement battery - try the Anker 1800 ma I get almost 48 hous of medium us - no GPS and wifi only on when I'm at home or work - it uses less power when connected unlike the GPS

This is amazing

did you bump charge? I go down to 99 within a minute and 97 after usually 30 minutes with light usage after charging overnight. Of course the chargers don't keep the battery at 100% because that would damage the battery

I don't overnight charge...Once my phone hits 100 I unplug it and I'm down to 99 very soon after and down to 90 pretty soon as well

Right now I'm at 88% after ~4.5hrs unplugged, including about 30 minutes of streaming Top Gear over wifi.
I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm having mixed results with battery life. Really good standby time at home, but not so great at work. I work in a low signal building. 1 bar LTE and 2 Bar 3G, but the 3G's data doesn't seem to work on any of my phones. I lose about 40% in the 6 hours that I am there. I guess the aluminum isn't so great in low signal situations?

S6 Battery - Accubattery - How is this even possible???

Okay so I have this phone for over 3 years now as my daily phone and the battery started deteriorating fast, up to where I will only get between 1h - 2h SOT (phone was always on stock firmware and not rooted).
So yesterday I flashed Noble Nougat Rom 5.1 with Kiboi kernel.
This morning I installed all apps again and after the battery died, I plugged it in with Accubattery running.
As I write this, Accubattery says 2724mah has been charged in 1h50min and it is 90% charged. Will post a screenshot of fully charged stats.
Battery design capacity is only 2550mah. Is it possible that Samsung limits the phone not to use full capacity of battery and Kibio kernel "opens up" the bottleneck? Are the stats wrong? Does Kiboi kernel mess up charging current recognised by Accubattery? Whatever is happening is beyond my understanding and reasoning.
I ordered a S7 batter to replace the "bad" stock battery, but now the stock battery looks not so bad after all. The proof is in the pudding, however. Will see how this charge holds up and let you know.

Screenshots
Had to unplug phone at 94% to take a call. Screenshots below.

Could be a bug.
Or maybe someone put an S7 Edge battery in your phone before you got it.

Between those 2 options, I'd say it is a bug, because I bought this phone new, unless Samsung put it in there for me.

Okay so I resolved that it is some kind of bug causing Accubattery not to be accurate. After 18h light use I only managed to get 2h30 SOT of this charge. Battery still sucks so now waiting for S7 battery to arrive.

2nd Charge did much better, 3h45 SOT. It felt like the battery will never die (i want to have 2 - 3 full charge/discharge cycles with new rom and kernel).
I think the new rom and kernel is a good match for the battery because I notice a significant change. Usually the battery dropped about 3 - 5% and hour while in standby, now the drop is down to about 1% per hour.
For all of you struggling with poor battery life, I suggest to flash Noble Nougat Experience 5.1 with Kiboi kernel.

Battery taking a turn for the worse?

When I first got my Note 20 Ultra (Aug of last year) the battery was amazing. Now within the last 2 months is horrible. My phone shows a full charge will last 11 hours and 51m. Just today I was out and about, unplugged at 11am est and by 4pm I was at 41%.
Not sure what has changed. Though Facebook is showing around 10-20% battery usage over the last 7 days which is odd since I'm not using it that much.

Ditch FB* and any social media that's loaded as an app... crapware.
Clear system cache.
Disable all power management.
Now see what's using the battery and if it's appropriate. Go from there.
Install Accubattery to track battery use history.
A well optimized Note should about 7-14%@hr SOT, less than 1%@hr with AOD in tap on mode at night.
After doing all this reevaluate if it's a weak battery or just excessive power usage.
*yeah I know you can't send any FB messages if the app isn't installed... ditch this malware. It's malware by design not coincidence. FB is a menace... learn or get burned.
This is my N10+, the N20U may use slightly more due to variable refresh rate and 5G but should be similar.

I figure a on heavily used Note that's fast charged the battery will last 1-2 years.
My last N10+ battery failed around the 1.5 year mark. I'll probably replace now at 1 year intervals.
