what kernel u running on?

Quite possibly a bad battery. Your battery shouldn't drain when the phone is off.

Does it drain when the battery is removed from the phone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

you should download a cm7 nightly my battery lasted from 10pm - 9am with 30% than i put it to charge

You can either do a factory reset or NVFlash CWM and flash a ROM to see if that fixes things. If not, then defective battery.

What these guys are saying is most likely, especially with that kind of drain. But also make sure you don't have any crummy apps, it apps that run when your phones off. Ex. Some weather apps run in the background and draindrain

You guys. He said that his phone was OFF while the battery lost its juice. It has NOTHING to do with what ROM, KERNEL etc etc he is using. Now for the op; simply just get a new battery and check if the problem persists.

Haha, yea. Read to fast, selective reader I guess. Thought I saw 'screen off' =)

Try the same test with the battery completely removed.
If it doesn't drain that fast - Then the phone is not shutting down properly, and most likely is the result of a nasty app.
If it does still drain that fast - Then the battery is probably faulty.

In your original post when you said you turn the phone off at night, you do mean actually turning it off right? Like shutting it down and not just turning the screen off, right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. If the phone is powered down then it can't be an app because apps can only run when you're booted into Android.

I would try to eliminate apps one by one. Freezing them with titanium backup or using better battery stats to see which apps have a lot of wakelocks. I had the same issue before.

Then its the battery. I had the problem with my g1. I would load the maps and use gps. It would say my battery is around 70% then after like 5mins the phone would get hot and then it would say i was at 30% or lower. Swap out for a new battery and it didnt do that anymore.
My g2x is kinda doing the same thing. But its a little slower. I turn the phone on in the morning 100% battery. Then use it for about an hr. (95-80%battery) put it in my pocket. Then about 2hrs later it at 40-35%. And the phone feels warm.
Also check your battery to see if it had a lump on it. If so then its a bad battery and needs to be replaced asap.
I ordered a replacement on ebay should be here by next weekend. Only $4

I had a problem like this and still do at times. Part of it was the stock kernel I was running and the other part was the fact that the phone was not fully going into the low power state it was supposed to. I now only loose about 5 to 7% in the worst cases. That is better than the 20 to 30% I was loosing before.

(Q) Battery Indicator

My phone's battery indicator always remain at 100% regardless of rom. I flashed rooted stock froyo, gingerbread, cm7, cm10.1, weapong2x, mokeos, unrooted stock, literarily everything yet the battery stays at 100%. I tried wiping battery stats in cwm, using battery calibration app, everything! Please help! :banghead:

No one at all?

Might be a dying battery. Is it stock or aftermarket? And have you tried running it down until it's completely dead?

Stock battery that came with the phone when I got it last year and yep, I tried playing games with it until the phone died. Left the phone charging for about a day, unplug, turn on and it stays at 100% still

Try to reset the battery by doing at least three discharge cycles. Also never run the battery dry.

What do you need help with? I solved this by reflashing but also by flashing other roms and tried which worked. Only temasek's rom and cm7 worked for me

[Q] Battery won't charge (P920). Can it be solved or is my phone ready for trash bin?

I'll make it the short version:
Decided to test some of the nice Rom's on this forum a couple a weeks ago.
Spend several hour's reading different threads and Felt ready to go on.
After trying out some rom's (and some bricks ) I noticed that the battery won't charge and that's my problem now.
I've tried all I can come up to. Going back to stock GB via Xbsall's Resurrection Guide. Flash a dozen of other
roms. Changed the bootloaders, you name it.
Is there any help out there???

Have you tried switching off the phone and keeping it on charge for a few hours?

Sv: [Q] Battery won't charge (P920). Can it be solved or is my phone ready for trash
Yes i've tried that. No change.
I have also tried with 2 different batteries but the same.
When I'm on GB the phone loads up to 4% but no more. On ICS the battery never goes up to more than 1%.
I have figured out than when I enter the hidden menu (3845#*920#) and port setting, choose CP USB the battery indicates 100% constantly and operating normally (camera works ex.) until the phone dies.

Battery drain so much upon boot

im using lenovo p770 (rooted) and runs with jelly bean. my problem was. every time a reset my phone my battery drains from 5-10% . yes i know it is normal but. do u have any ways to atleast decrease the percentage?. i tried start up manager and others but i dont think they work. or do u think my battery is just miscalibrated? thanks

Yeah calibrate the battery and see what happens. There's an app in the play store for it but I think you may need root. If that doesn't work than you need to replace the battery.

If That's Normal. Then Live with it.
anyway ask the same device holder if they are faceing the Problem

thanks for your generous reply.
do u think battery calibration by memo really works? so far that i read it doesnt work
the same unit holders are speechless on other forums. haha
anyways thanks

I don't think that is supposed to be normal lol. I can see you losing 2-3 % but 5-10 is way to much. For me it works in some cases.

That app is pure snake oil. The simple fact is that an app cannot calibrate your battery.

Anyone has an idea ? Would really appreciate some help .. cause this f***** up .. 7 hours ... Specially that I wake up at 7-8 am .. so by 3-4 pm the phone is dead .. HELP ME !

Try different charger eg connect micro usb on laptop and leave it charge. From time to time it's good you leave battery to "sinchronize" and leave it charging for 7-8 hours.
Maybe it's rom dependent to. Check which apps are running in background, close unneeded, disable wifi, BT and so on. Which ROM do you use?

If you have root access then try greenify. First see what exactly is consuming you battery unnecessarily and then greenify those apps.
You can also try one power guard. It actually saves battery in my opinion.

Then you can try snapdragon batteryguru. I used to use this app before I rooted my one s. I don't think it has much effect but no harm in trying. It basically reduces the app refresh time based on your usage so that much battery is saved. It will learn your usage habits for 2 days.
You may also consider rooting your device.

What do you think about this maximus hd rom ??
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I suggest switching to an AOSP ROM, preferably CyanogenMod 11 since it's pretty stable. I was extremely unimpressed with the battery life on the stock ROM and decided to try a custom ROM. I'd never go back now. The battery life alone has proved to me that AOSP is better than Sense. Sense is bloated.

If you didn't try yet then try to empty the battery 3 times fully and always full recharge (make sure that the phone dies by itself).
For it was happening that the the battery was emptying down to few percent very fast (e.g. normal use 16hours) but when it was at 1 percent I could watch YouTube for 20min before the phone died.

I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it. I'm not really a fan of Sense though and Maximus is a Sense-based ROM.

It lasts me through a day with about 30% remaining after 9 hours of moderate usage. Not terrible but not great either, but the battery life just isn't very good in general on this phone.
Standby battery life is excellent though.

My tip that you need are to buy a new battery. I had almost 2 years old battery and the phone died after just 8 hours with minimal usage! So I decided to change the battery, now i've a 2100 mah. The phone is alive after 1,5 day with minimal usage!

also you can try BetterBatteryStats and you can see which app is draining your battery.

Catch it before it runs away from home!!
Just a joke. On a serious note..consider replacing battery

install an app called Wakelock Detector.
it's possible that you have an app installed that keeps waking up the device when not in use.
Wakelock Detector will tell you what app is doing that.
