Hi guys, I've flashed the 4.2.1 ROM by albinoman887 and only when the screen is on the lowest brightness it uses a lot of battery, really quickly.
Thread can be found here
When it's on standby the battery lasts for about 7 hours, but when it's on it lasts for around 45 minutes. Please help
I've tried
- Wiping battery stats
- Calibrating battery.

Your horrible cell signal is at least part of the problem. Your phone is constantly pinging the towers looking for a better connection. That's a serious battery hog.
You may have the wrong radio for your carrier. Or you may live in a dead zone for your carrier.
Also, is this your first battery cycle after a full wipe? I get results like that for the first discharge cycle after install. But then it becomes fantastic. Drain the battery all the way until the phone shuts off. Then charge it using a USB cord on your computer (not the standard power charger) for an hour past when it says 'full'. The slower USB charge can help to give it accurate voltage readings while charging so it doesn't stop charging too early. See if that helps.
The battery on Albino's 4.2.1 is pretty spectacular for most people, so the good news is that this is probably a fixable issue on your end.
The signal was when I'm out and about, most of the time I have 3-4 bars on HSDPA, I may do a full 24 hour charge or get a new battery
I have this problem too.But if i flash last build,baterry life is good.

somebody please tell me why is that? and how do i get more life out of my battery?
Maybe your phone only goes up to 9 hours...
Maybe it's kernel related.. Are you on custom rom already?
My Droid on a JB ROM has the Android OS consume about 90% of the battery and it dies after 8 hours of screen off time, airplane mode. *shrugs* if anyone has a solution id like to know.

This has probably to do with something that is running in the background.
your phone apparently doesnt go into "deep sleep mode" Only in this mode you lose just few % per night.
I recommand to shut off your phone, take out the battery for a few seconds, put it back in, charge it in one go, then turn it on again. See what happens.
You can, of course, sleep with the charger in.
Welcome to Android, for the most part, our battery life sort of sucks :/
Hi! I have a issue with charging in cm7 with stock kernel. In some intervals battery status is stop changing or change from 31% to 32% in 15 - 30 minutes. I have 2 different batteries and 3 different (0.5 - 0.75A) charges, all results is same. (BB 11 march 2012y). Can you tell me what can it be? With different kernels situation is better but, can repeat 1 time in 2 days.

I had weirdness with battery due to a flaky SIM card. Remove and reinstall the SIM card and see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks I will try this.
I've been having the same battery issue with my this model for about a year now. I have tried different phones, batteries, Roms, and uninstalled apps. When Im charging the phone the indicator does not change. Example: If the phone is at 10% and I leave it charging for 30min it still shows 10%. It changes if I do a battery pull. Right now I'm running a stock rom non-rooted and no nvflash recovery installed.
So basically just out of nowhere, about 2 weeks ago, my phone's battery just starts dying really quickly when connected to WiFi. I am talking from 100% to dead overnight (7-8 hours). It's an S6 purchased on release day, original battery, but before this issue, I could easily go a day with normal use and have 40% or more. Even now with the problem occurring, I can leave WiFi off and still get my normal battery life.
No settings have changed (I have always had all the suggested battery saving settings set appropriately), no system updates, just usual app updates. I figured an app update caused the issue so I factory reset the phone with no luck. I ran a suggested app, GSam, to check for usage. It hasn't shown any apps consuming the power, just power draining very quickly when WiFi is enabled.

Not sure why this screencap is so huge, it won't let me resize it on here. Anyway, it's a screencap from GSam. The first half shows during the day with minimal use with WiFi off. The steep drop just before the green line is usage when I get home and have WiFi on. The solid green line indicates charging. After that is the overnight period with WiFi on, massive battery drain.
I'm at a loss at what to do. I really like this phone and this WiFi issue is killing the usability of it. If I'm at home and browsing apps with WiFi on the phone dies so quickly. If this were an issue regardless of WiFi, I'd understand that it's just old and a dying battery, but it's only ever present when WiFi is on.
Besides trying a custom ROM, is there anything else I can try to fix this? I don't have it rooted and would prefer to just keep it official firmware only if I can.
Thanks in advance.
I have Xiaomi 12s ultra, i was extremely happy with battery life.
One evening camera was recording while charging by mistake, when i wanted to check, it was 35>56 in 40 minutes, and phone battery charging was very slow because it was unbelievable hot. Did i just killed my battery?
I think battery is draining very fast after this. Can you share usage stats?
Is there any way to undo this, like draining battery to 0 and charging to 100?
Before this day i was using 20-80 charging method to save my battery. All efforts are gone i guess.

Yes, phone batteries don't like charging and draining at the same time. However, it could just as easily have burnt out or permanently deteriorate the quality of some electronic component.

Yeah i know. I hope camera sensor did not get any damage.
Yesterday i get about 5-6 hour screen on time, 14 hours without plugging with wireless internet only, %45 left. How much did my battery lost of its capacity with that incident? I guess my battery was better. Thanks for the chip in 12SU it didn't go on charging. It could have exploded.
I made a mistake to my battery.
I'd like to see what did i lose, can you share your battery usage screenshot.
What i did bad to my battery :
Charging while video recording by mistake, did i kill the battery?

Ask other users to post their battery usage screenshot remains very relative, indeed for absolute precision, it would be necessary that you use the same rom and especially with the same settings and that you use, for example, Chrome on the same duration, same for other apps.
Note that Wifi consumes more than data for certain uses.
Wi-fi Vs Mobile Data Battery Drain: Do Mobile Batteries Drain Faster On Mobile Data Than On Wi-fi?
Mobile data drains more battery than Wi-Fi because a continuous cellular connection needs to be maintained constantly with towers quite far away.

Seems like there is not a big problem. I'm sure it was bad in the first days. Xiaomi 12s ultra has a battery management chip, which is said to be repairing cells. It is doing what it says i think. Well done Xiaomi engineers. 5:30 SOT from morning to night with lte most of the day is simply amazing.
