Battery stats

I've been charging my phone on a regular basis. Daily in fact. But the stats tell a different story. Anyone else with the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix this?

further explain what the hell do you mean? you need to give us a bit more detail on what exactly are you encountering or specifically ask why is this happening.

I included the screen grab didn't I? It says 6 days plus on battery. When the phone lasts only a day. See the screen grab.
And this is after the JB OTA update.

Your being to broad that doesn't mean anything to me all I see is 6days and your charging it every so often what's wrong? Your phone is lasting a day? Explain what exactly your doing you need to specify and further explain what your doing.
For example
In screenie I have 4 days on one charge.
I watched some netflix and barely any usage it was very minimal. And about every other 6 to 12 hours I turn off data and switch on airplane mode as you can see.
Another thing leaving your phone on for that much time just IMO makes the battery life die faster rather than fully charging do your usual stuff till the day ends and once done at night just shut it off charge turn back on in the morn.

Isn't this a bug? It's only supposed to tell me the time the phone's been running on battery since the last charge. See screenshot from my Photon 4G for example.

there is no bug at all. it tells you the time since the phone has been on no from the last charge.
Lets say i use my phone and im around 30% and its been 8 Hours since i turned on my phone from 100%. once i plug it in it will keep track of the time my phones been on (Up time) not from last charge.
there is an app called Better Battery Stats but it causes wakelocks but it will show you those type of stats and more

I think you are mistaken friend. The discharge graph shows the time since the last recharge. See http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2677609&topic=2677645&ctx=topic (last para) for details.

well on my Epic it will say whatever time its been on since turned regardless of being charged or not, ive tested it out on several devices i think your losing your mind haha what does it matter anyways?
Its simply telling you how long you have been using the battery not when it was off the last charge.

For me it happens when the recharge doesn't make the battery goes above 90%. The graph will "reset" when the battery is charged above 90%.

Battery life on LTE

Hey so I know I'll get crap for another battery post but I just wanted to post this because I'm amazed whenever someone on Any rom gets a full day or more of battery. It's ridiculous how much mobile data drains on ANY rom for me. I'm running aokp 9/9 right now but I've been through cm9, cm10, vincoms rom, sky ics, paranoid. No differences really it's just data that drains. Here is today's battery, and this is normal when it's mobile data the whole way through. Mostly H, H+, and 4g. As you can see, u have pretty good reception, and screen on for only 2 HOURS. that's why it amazes me when people get 5-7 hrs screen and like a day+ of battery.

2 hours screen time sounds about right for me til the battery runs down. But I tend to only use that much in a whole day, so it lasts me to the next day... even on LTE. I'm using SkyICS.
You sure you don't have any funky wakelocks or anything? Your phone was awake for pretty much the whole time It should be sleeping most of the times that you're not using it.

there are days where i can get 16 hours with an hour or 2 of screen time, but i also have the Gnex extended batter (2100 mah) so that helps. But ive come to realize that on most days, i will never ever see the stellar results that some people get, becasue i use my phone... a lot... im talking twitter constantly, hundreds of texts every day, and the occasional phone call. But it is fine for me, ive never had my phone die on me while im out, and im almost always near a charger so it is never a problem. If i feel like i might be away from a charger for a while, i turn off sync, turn brightness down, etc to prolong my battery life and im good to go.

Download better battery stats and find out what is keeping your phone awake,it looks like its staying awake for long periods of time

How...when I have data on and using it,it drains a percent every 2 minutes. Can anyone tell me what to loom for on better battery stats and where?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Hwres an update. On this is with data off almost all day you can see the screen off and awake matches up pretty nicely.(at the end I'm listening to music so that's why its awake) is it possibly just straight up the data connection that keeps my phone awake?

There's an entire thread on it here maintained by TJ above. And several tutorials in other forums on xda. It's really not that hard. Just do some research.

What I don't get is why WiFi causes a wake lock.

That image doesn't show wifi causing a wakelock? Unless you actually didn't have wifi turned on for the past 4 hours. I see it's not turned on in that image, but maybe you just turned if off. Which I'm betting you did about 2 minutes before taking that picture, and then turned data back on?

Nice wait but that jump upward toward the end, were you charging it there, send a screen of the graph with the usage pattern under it

And you recharged it abit

Hehe. But seriously I get around 17 hours of pretty good life. Moderate to heavy use with still about 30% remaining
Just sick and tired of these people complain about horrible battery life

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.

This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

Battery question

I've been having pretty bad battery life for some reason.. I was wondering if maybe its bad to use my phone while its plugged in? Like just browsing at night while charging? I can see the battery percentage drop really frequently while using it. Any thoughts?

I use my phone all night while it's plugged in, haha.
And is the battery dropping WHILE charging? If so, your charging plug or your wire itself is damaged. It's odd to see battery declining, even during use, while charging.

Oops.. Sorry I phrased that wrong. I meant that the battery percentage drops fast just in general. One minute its at 100 and then in a minute or two its down to 99. Not sure what's up.
By the way I'm on hyperdrive 7 with stock kernel.

Oh, haha okay.
Well it's normal for your battery to drop down to 99% in a minute or two, because the battery can't sustain 100% max for too long. If your battery life can last you throughout the day, I would say you should be fine. But, if you're like me, I would use a conservative-based governor, no matter the kernel. I use KTweaker.

Mind showing a screenshot of your battery stats?

T959V shutting down randomly...

Seems like my phone shuts off every time I turn off the screen. Doesn't shut down when plugged in or when I'm using the phone... I'm using Domination ROM 100% supercharged. Any input on the cause would be greatly appreciated! I have a log cat but I don't seem to see a attachment button!!

I recently had an issue like this. My phone would randomly shut down. I found it persisted across ROMs so I knew it wasn't that. It ended up being my battery. Bought one off of Amazon and it has been like new ever since.
So my answer .. check the battery if you can. I was lucky enough to know some one with the same phone and was able to swap batteries for a bit to confirm it.

Take the battery and place it on something flat. If it spins easily (swollen). That's a good sign that it is on the way out.

Yeah... the battery seems a tad swollen! Thank you!!

Even the best batteries can go bad. I've even seen the iPhone split apart from a bad battery swelling up inside.
I've been using an Andida(?) 2300 mAh battery in my GS4G without issue. My HTC G1 has pretty much only been used with random eBay batteries (as the original HTC battery swelled up and stopped working years ago).
I've had some cheap batteries last a long time, and I've had OEM batteries crap out on me.
It's all kinda random.

So... About six and a half hours ago decide to check out that Xylon Ultimatum ROM (still haven't bought a new battery) was runnin P.A.C. All In One, and my phone has not shut off once. over 6 hours now! Could that have been a ROM issue? i thought for sure it was battery cause i been using that P.A.C. ROM for awhile now. and it just started this shutting off thing. i havn't seen anyone post anything with this issue running PAC All In One.

I'm thinking my battery is all good! It's been over 24 hours now and the battery is holding a great charge! Could the pac rom have that issue?
i messed with my voltages with SETCPU app the same way i did with the PAC ROM, and my phone shut off the first time i shut off screen! i subtracted 25 to 50 on all MHz levels. i changed them back and everything seems proper! could this be the cause of my shut down issue???
Thank you!!
