hello guys,
I have the wifi model xoom rooted with stock rom. My battery life after the first week having my xoom has been terrible. So last week I rooted it and my battery life was tremendous because i didint have many apps on it. I've been slowing adding apps day by day and monitoring so that if I use any battery killers ill be aware. Well battery has gone to crap once again. Last night I charged it to 100 percent, i then took it off the charger and turned airplane mode on. I let it sit there untill around 10am. when i picked it up it was at 69percent charged with 70% of the battery being used from "tablet idle". I freaked out so I downloaded a screenshot app but by that time the tablet idle went down to 44percnt and 34 percent was screen on. anyone have any suggestions as to why those are percentages are so high when my tab is just chillin... btw i just downloaded baddass battery monitor. Thanks.
I'm using a custom rom as you can see in my signature and my battery life is quite good and I have many apps installed. It takes any rom a while to settle down. I can't speak to stock rom because I haven't run stock in over a year. It sounds like you are doing the right things though...pay attention to whatever might be syncing in the background...that can be a big battery drain.
Checkout betterbatterystats. Its free on XDA (somewhere). It gives you a breakdown of exactly what is waking your device.
*edit* just noticed you downloaded something similar. Just comb through that and try to find out what is waking your tablet so much.

One of the thing that I always try to be careful about my Xoom is having wireless disabled at all times I'm not using it. I've notice that since I've been doing so, my battery life has stretched further and further than when I leave it on.
Apps usually check for the network state, but this doesn't consume as much battery cycles as if the wireless would be on searching for signal while your not using it.
OP...it sounds like a rogue app of sorts.
Purchase Autostarts from the market and disable processes you don't need running at startup. It could help.
I've noticed that a lot of certain apps like to be started even though I don't need them running all the time. It could be an app running during different circumstances as well.
Let us know if this works.

1) root your device.
2) follow the steps in the below link to flash the best rom ever made for motorola xoom 3G. if you have a wifi version, then install the wifi version rom only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
3) go to market, buy startup Manager app. and install it. remove unwanted apps from its GUI but keep superuser / supersu.
4) go to market and buy juice defender ultimate. install it and configure it as aggressive mode.
Only then, you will the difference. if Motorola promised you with 10 hours battery life, this will give an extra 2 hours
My desire s battery drops from 100% to ~15% after about an hour of surfing with edge mobile network.(with different roms) And my friend tell me that this is unusual. I have tried calibrate the battery with the battery calibrate app and it didn't help . It's there anyway to solve this such as flashing baseband?
Thanks for helping.

first open battery usage and investigate which app eat a lot of power.
sometimes just restart the phone will clear out the issue.
The app which eat many power is the browser but I have tried other browsers too but same problem happened.
I have restarted and flashed tons of times and ROMs but same happened.

- which rom are you using? official or custom ?
- try to restart phone, donot open any browser and see if the battery still drain?
I tried cm stable, miui stable , HTC sense ROMs. It only drain when I surf with my edge mobile network. If I use WiFi its normally draining , about two to three hours.

if the same radio, try to flash another one
if problem with different radio, may be bad coverage in your location?
Try to move to another place with good coverage and give it a try
As i remember i never flashed the radio. Can u suggest which radio should i use?
Does baseband affect the battery life? If yes l, which baseband should I flash? Thx

serious battery problem
OK, I have a serious problem. I updated official RUU, and my phone is running smooth. Battery lasts 1-2 days, everything is working fine. But last night battery was on 17% and I put it to charge at 12pm, woke up at 6am and it was on 33%. I'm charging it right now and it's up to 41% then drops to 39% and so on. Tried another charger - same thing. It won't charge! No new apps, no new settings, battery stats shows the same power use,.... Battery health is good, Auto sync is off,.... I have Go Power Master, Juice Defender, shows no problems. 3G is off, it's on GSM only, Wi-Fi is off, GPS is off and so on, my phone is fully optimised and this happened last night. I charged it while off and now it's on 37%! So I guess it's not a software issue. Anybody has an answer or a clue what could be the problem, please? Is my battery dead (year of use)? Thanks in advance.
try to restart your phone?
Tried that. I'm currently charging it power off, turned it on and it's still draining. While it's off!
i guess it's battery problem. Borrow another battery from your friend and try again.
Well, it was a strange thing... I've noticed that GO Power Master is killing like 25 apps and prolonging time for some 2 and a half hours when you hit optimise button every 2 minutes. So some apps are running in the back and draining the battery. So I uninstalled some of them (clock widget, Noom, Zoner antivirus,...) and restarted phone and by the end of the day it was all stabilised like before. I don't know what happened. I'm still testing it but I've managed to charge it to 100% and there was no drain over night. We'll see.

Noom
I have a S2 and every day, at 20:00 the phone starts a process and gets very hot and also drains the battery.
I discover that if I freeze the Noom app, it doesn't happen.
So, I blame noom for your draining issues and mine.
Does anybody else having this problem?
Regards
I didn't had a problem since uninstall, but it happened again later, I think it was from Firefox. While it was on charger, I got popup note saying something like "phone is using more than current can deliver, try to kill some apps or turn phone off while charging." First time I see that note. Probably because it was on Sense, not on launcher. I've noticed that Firefox is using a lot of memory, uninstalled it and it was all normal like before.

I had this problem, but svery time it was solved with rebooting. It showed normal percentage. I think, you just need to reboot device sometimes, may be once in two days. I suppose to think the couse of ghis problem is a kernel) it can be engaged with not an exact process, so battery drains. Try to change kernel, or rom, or battery)

So far, I've owned 3 Android phone, and all of their battery sucked. I owned an Evo 4g, HTC Rezound, and I had 2 Galaxy S3's. Even with Extened battery, the battery won't last as long as an iPhone. And it doesn't stop here. It takes FOREVER to fully charge the battery only to find out that it gets depleted super fast. On the S3, I would be at 20% at the end of the school day, but with an iPhone, I end up around 60% with the same amount of use. The phones go up 1% after 5 minutes when plugged into a computer, and its annoying. I love Android with all my heart, but I can't deal with this problem. Anyone know of phone that has really good battery life (besides the MAXX)?
An iPhone's battery life is roughly the same in each iteration as a device from the Galaxy series. In fact it's been tested and the Galaxy S III lasted 6 hours and 55 minutes compared to the iPhone 5 which lasted 7 hours and 13 minutes. Both OS's implement battery management very well, and at the end of the day battery life is mainly dependent on user use. You can't expect an Android device to have numerous data hogging widgets as well as numerous background processes active, all while surfing the web with multiple windows open, and not drain just a little quicker than an iOS device that doesn't even utilize true multitasking. Please.
Also: It doesn't last as long as an iPhone "even with an extended battery?" GTFOH. Either your iPhone runs on nuclear material or you're full of sh**.
Why don't you use something like BetterBatteryStats and find out why the battery is being used ?
I get 3-4 hours of screen on time on my S3 with stock battery and kernel, but with some minimal battery-saving settings.
It used to be a lot worse - but I actually investigated and found out what was eating up the battery. I guess I could have just complained about it, but it was a lot faster to just work on finding a solution. I've been really impressed with how long my battery has been lasting lately - and it didn't take all that long to just read the BBS report and make changes.

In my words, its actually depend on your uses. Now a days we have 4"- 5" screen, where lots of processes are running in background. Using Dual Led Flash light for camera & having lots of Games,applications & files. We were used to have phone like NOKIA & BB. Where we just clicked over a button & thats all. But now when You click on screen, whole screen has to be work.
But yes, Few companies has taken it hard & Provided battery like MOTO MAXX.. also few have kernel bugs. So, it totally depend on you buddy, how you take it. Use data connectivity less & check whether your phone is going to Deep sleep / other name as per phone is going or not.
Be realistic with the brightness, keep it on auto don't run it at 100%. Try different ROMs with tweaks. Adjust settings with kernels for a faster battery recharge. Your options are infinte. Maybe android isn't for you.

There's an official Google statement that wiping batterie stats won't improve your battery life.
Wiping the stats forces android to recalibrate and calculate the battery stats.

Do you mean the time for one or both batteries ?
I get 3-4 on stock battery - but I always have my screen on the lowest brightness - and sometimes lower (using the Screen Filter app). I'm inside most of the time, so I don't need a very bright screen.
The only time I really lose battery like crazy is if I'm playing Ingress - because then I need to turn the brightness up and GPS is constantly updating so it's not exactly unexpected.

Ok on start I am sorry guys for my language. I am in UK only one year so I need to learn a lot
10 min a go I back from SSC because I have problems with battery/ charging and foulty speaker
Italian Job 1.0.0 - big battery drain and battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
XXMC8 - no battery drain but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
Stock UK GB XXLK7 -no battery drain but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
So I bought new original samsung battery 1500mAh - no changes
So I bought batttery 3500mAh with special cover - no vissible battery drain, this battery can handle my phone by ~ 20 hours of playing AVI movie, 720p in loop in MX Player so very good score but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
All battery was tested in my Ace 2 and in my girlfriend Ace 2 (she have fully working phone with no problems) and she have good scores on all batteries but best is on 3500mAh with special cover ( above x2 than standard)
So i went to SSC and they: (stock GB, 0 flash counters)
- take my phone without documents on free guarantees (only box)
- I must come back for that phone in this friday
This above is for + but:
- they **** that work because I have in my ducuments copy a lot of bugs! (street , town)
- they checked my speaker in noisy room (it did not take nearly as booming)
- for those guys after restart when phone loses 30% battery power is normal!
So I go after tomorrow for my phone and we will see ( They will make updates to JB! and they change speaker/ charging module)
Photo for proof attached
If they dont repair my phone I do not buy samsung phone NEVER AGAIN!
EDIT: 3 hours waiting for a response about taking my phone!
EDIT 2: that 3500mAh battery must be loaded 8 hours to get 100% form 0%. (standard charger )
I really want to know what the whole battery dropping after restart thing is about, forever happening to me and sometimes the battery completely dies. It was the same on my original Ace S5830 I got a few years ago.
If you find out, please tell! haha.
After receiving the reply I upload it here
Have nfc version and ni problems with battery with much using and sometimes little bit playing i rech two days
I dont have problem with battery (any) but with phone hardware
I must agree with you guys regarding battery drain. It's suspicios and I am also aware of a fast battery drain from 100% to 65% in just a couple of hours, or very fast after a restart.
Maybe this is the way android should work. I was thinking there was a problem with my phone, but seeing similar behaviour with yours, it must be something related to the android system.
I'm on JB me1 and i haven't this battery dran problem. After the night i just lose 3-7% battery
When I have 100% and I off my phone and turn on battery go down to 50-60% immediately in one secund! It must by hardware foult...this is not normaly working android, for me

I thought that is not really a battery draining. But it just about battery calibrating. Your phone need to calibrate the battery. Thats the problem.

its normal to see 99% when unplugging from charger, 3%-10%(Max) drop on rebooting. Battery is usually inaccurate after charging, what I do is plug it in then reboot. then it displays the right value after unplugging, usually my battery status is really inaccurate but it returns to normal afterwards (it'll show charging icon even when unplugged and charge to 100 then stops and returns to real level). I don't believe in this calibrations and have found enough proof its useless, I think most xda users agree too. Try searching some threads.

Since it's advertised officially, I don't think it harms in anyway. besides if such a damage were to be caused, It would be hardware - (As if battery swollen, Battery warms up fast) , not software.
Most likely your cause is the infamous Google wakelock which is triggered randomly.
you can use calculin's fix to prevent it,, or like myself, if rooted, use appops to kill autorun of google playservices.
I've had issues like this on my older devices and wiping cache and dalvik helped me in my case. If you're not rooted, you can just wipe cache and see if it helps.

Fast charge will stress your Battery more than normal charge. If you want a long life of your Battery, just charge it to only 80 or 85 percent. That will reduce the Chemical reaction in your Battery.
