So I've been noticing that my phone's battery is constantly hot, and my battery life has gone from fair, to poor, to piss poor. My battery is supposedly healthy, and a few cpu monitors have sworn that my cpu is running mostly in the minimal state. HOWEVER, System Info (app) is saying that my cpu is constantly running at 60-100% non stop. It may or may not be going into deep sleep. I have Odin'd back to stock and everything, but this problem still persists.
I was running Miui v5, then I was running Illusion rom, and now I'm on the stock, 4.0.4 rom.
Please help I don't know what's going on!!

Doesn't sound good.... If you went back to stock and the problem is still occurring then i suspect a faulty battery.
Do you have another battery to test with?
Is the phone still under warranty?
I'd test that alternate battery if you have one. Either way though I'd return it to the store where you picked it up since its likely still under warranty.

Besides the stock battery which I still use, the only after market brand that I know and trust is ZeroLemon. I have the massive 7000mAh version but they have slim ones too. Look for them on Amazon.

My sensation currently has a power drain that I can't seem to find the cause for. I'm using InsertCoin 3.4.2 with bricked kernel 1.5, using SPB shell 3D launcher, got an Anker battery, running tasker to cut data, wifi, gps, etc whenever the screen is off, setCPU running ondemand with max at 1536mhz and minimum 192mhz, etc, etc.
I fully charged my phone to 100% about two or three hours ago, and it's been pretty much left alone since. It's now down to 68%.
I've got BetterBatteryStats and SystemPanel, both showing nothing untoward, no active tasks, no wakelocks from what I can tell, etc. And according to the standard app for battery monitoring, it shows the various connections have indeed been turning off as intended, and the phone has been asleep nigh on all the time it's supposed to be.
Any ideas what's going on, or how I could look into it deeper?
I've just been playing with the phone pretty much non stop since I started this thread an hour ago, and the battery level is now at 60%. So that means it's actually consuming MORE power when it's not even in use!

Hi,
There is a lot of talk about battery consumption,and it's causes.
Most people will suggest trying a different kernel,or downclock it to 1.2 GHZ.
I've tried different kernels already, and underclocking the cpu seems to make little difference. As I say, setCPU should be knocking it down to 192mhz whenever the screen is off anyway!

Hi,
Is your ROM a 2.3.4 base or 2.3.5 ?
2.3.5 mate. It's InsertCoin 3.4.2, with sense 3.5 (which I'm not using in favour of SPB).

Hi,
I was going to suggest bricked 0.9.1 with a 2.3.4 ROM,because my son has had great results on his Sensation.
I do not know IC well enough to help.
Sorry.
No problem, thanks for your input anyway.

1)Try his new test version of bricked(beta4).
http://code.google.com/p/bricked/downloads/list
2)Charge to 100
3)Turn off, wait till green, unplug and plugin(bump charging)
4)Boot to recovery thru bootloader and wipe battery stats and then reboot unplugged
Drain you battery to 1, then charge up and repeat for a few days. And you can lower the clockspeed since you're using ondemand, you won't see a speed difference with 1.2 and higher. Oh and use ultra smooth rosie so the home will be faster...And see which apps are open in B/G.

With the exception of trying the beta bricked kernel, I've already done all that when I first got my anker battery. It's not a calibration issue, it's that something is actually draining the battery even when it should be asleep.
And that rosie change isn't needed, as I'm not even using sense in the first place. I've got no real issues with how the phone actually performs as everything is already perfectly smooth. The only slight issue I have is since flashing the amaze camera, on rare occasions it can lock up when exiting it, requiring a battery pull to get going again.

Oops missed the part about SPB, I have been having similar issues but with Faux's kernel after using Amaze cam, but I doubt that could cause sleep drain. I think you drain is caused by the phone not entering "Deep Sleep", some rogue app is keeping the phone partially awake and sucking up juice. I'm gonna go on a hunch and say the phone is running around 1.x GHz while screen if off due to the app.

Hopefully mine can help you. I also noticed HUGE battery drain issues in the past using Bricked Kernel, so I then reverted to stock. Battery was GREAT, but the stock kernel blows. So yeah, I went back to bricked and using the 3rd? beta right now. My battery started dropping like crazy again, so I thought it was the kernel. Before, I used bricked and it was fine so again, I couldn't really blame the kernel. What I tried after that is deleteing my OC app (I've used both SetCPU and System Tuner) and since then, battery is great again! You can try this and hopefully it'll help!
Tried that already as I too suspected the OC app a few days ago. Made no improvements to battery life, so I've put it back on today. Not tried a different kernel yet though, as I'd read that the bricked kernel was the best choice with InsertCoin? I used faux123's kernel first of all, but found it ran hot and kept crashing...
Down to 30% now by the way.

That's what I'm suspecting too, but I don't know how to go about finding it. I've looked with SystemPanel and BetterBatteryStats and haven't spotted anything, but that could just be because I'm not 100% on what to look for. And why would setCPU not be overriding it and making it clock down to 192mhz whenever the screen is off anyway? Isn't that it's job?
Then try the stock and see if it's still draining. When I tried stock and everything was great, I just simply assumed that it wasn't an app. It was the kernel!
I'm not convinced it's the kernel though, as if it was then battery life would have been crap ever since I flashed it. It hasn't been, it's only been bad for the past few days. Are there any links to the stock kernel just in case I can't find anything else?
- mine is 24 hrs
- heavy use 16 hrs
. Used some aninations only
. Turn off wifi when not in use
. Used only 20% brightness
. Used juice defender
. Downclock to 1.2 ghz intellideman
And ofc my kernel and rom that im using right now!
Thank me if I helped
I use bricked and i actually got better batter out of it but itsn still not up to par.. However fauxs ran faster but my phone was getting up to 47C... Way too hot.. I don't know why mines running so hot.. Using coredroid 2.6. 1.5 bricked kernel. wiped dalv and cache and battery stats... blah.. any input? i had setcpu and deleted it.
SetCPU is uninstalled again now to see if it was causing anything, and there's still a drain on the battery when it should be sleeping. Does anyone have any tips on how to find what's keeping it awake? It's been fully charged again, been unplugged for just one hour and it's down to 80% battery. Not even been using it apart from me flashing the InsertCoin Bravia addition onto it, making it 3.4.3.
One thing I have noticed though, is that BetterBatteryStats says the RILJ dialler has been running for 5m 33s since it was last charged, 775 times, 8.9%. This is on the partial wakelocks screen, whatever they are. Everything else listed is under 1%, with the only exception being the alarm at 1.6%. What does this mean?
Couple questions;
Does rooting your phone = more drain on the batte? Seems like I got better battery life when it was bone stock.
Does themeing help with draining the battery?
Sorry if these are stupid questions but it seems like I had better battery life out the box on my phone. I'm running SYnergy r60 and it's themed with Eye Candy. I have been checking the things running in the background and it's doesn't seen like anything more is running then in stock. I have WiFi turned on at and work and get pretty good service in the building. But again it still seemed better stock.

If you concerned about battery life then you should try "Clean Rom & Clean kernel". They based on stock rom and provide good performance and very good on battery life.
Different roms will have different effects on battery.
I am stock, stock recovery, bootloader still locked - but rooted.
As far as rooting alone, i'm seeing no difference in battery life.
Once you go flashing things, it's a whole new ballgame.
The problem with flashing roms/kernels is that you are continuously doing it. So every couple days you flash a new rom, or kernel, or new mod. So your phone never really has time to collaborate and settle in. Technically you're suppose to give a kernel and rom a couple days before judging battery. But we rarely do that. Plus files can get left behind from previous dirty flashes that can affect battery life. There's just a lot more ways that battery life can take a hit when flashing roms/kernels, but it can also get you significantly better battery life.

Rooting itself makes no difference. Certain services and programs that require root could drain more battery but that is obviously optional.

It could hurt or help it but only to a small degree. Black uses the least power to display and white uses the most. Overall, it isn't something to stress over too much.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think it would be a huge drain but wasn't sure.
Not sure if it's coincidence, but I reflashed r60 but didn't reflash Eye Candy and it seems the battery is doing much better.
hi guys, im here to discuss about my phone problem. Actually, when my phone in Gingerbread 2.3.4, the problem already there.
The problem is my phone will suddenly heat and the battery drain very fast. The only way to stop it is to reboot my phone. But it seem like everyday also heat, then i need to reboot my phone everyday.
The heat area is not battery but is bottom. Somewhere memory slot and sim card slot there. I thought is gingerbread problem, but after i upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 the problem still the same. Any one know what is the problem? and how to solve it. I had tried factory reset, but no luck with that. I change new battery, the problem still there. I have no idea about it.
Apparently its the CPU temperature. Sensation's phone does heat up slightly quicker. Try underclocking your device.
When the CPU is heated, so will other components and also battery in some ways, and battery will recharge or discharge quicker than usual when heated. So its common.
Unless its boiling hot, its quite common.
Well, if your cpu is overclocked yes it heats up. What rom and kernel are you using? Try to go back to stock frequency (1118Mhz) and/or change kernel and see if the issue persists. If you are on stock ics rom and on stock frequency as well and as you said you already tried to change battery, did factory reset then I would say it might be a hardware issue. When I had the stock rom on my phone, it did heat up but not much and it only happened when I played some heavy games. BTW how hot is it?
yup, the CPU frequency it show 1.2ghz. The phone just suddenly heat without playing games, surfing internet or anything. It just heat up and the battery drain drain drain...........until i reboot it. or else, i believe will keep drain until the juice of battery is empty. any solution about fully reformat? i also tried RUU already. still no luck with it. other than RUU, is there any tools can really really clean up my phone software?

You can use the custom recovery to fully format your phone's internal memory. Any Custom Recovery should do the trick.
After doind that, you can try to install any ROM you feel like, like Albinoman's CM10.1, Bruce's CM10, Viper's Sense 4.1...
The reason for your battery drain and CPU heat might be caused for some specific apps to be constantly using up your phone, you can check that in the battery information, in system settings. Look to see if your phone is constantly awake, or if its awake way too often, and also look for what app is draining more power from your battery, and get rid of it. Should make things better.
And finally you can install a different Kernel for your device, and with the right configuration, your CPU might heat up less as well as making your battery life last longer.

My concern is you already installed a ruu so went back to full stock. If it started heating with that as well it might be some hardware fault... Try the suggestions was given above and than if the issue is still there you may consider to send it for repair?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
hardware fault? sad case. motherboard? cpu ? phone cpu is like computer cpu? can it be replace? i know motherboard can replace but not sure for cpu.
Phone CPU is different than the ones in PCs. Remember there is no fan on it so their temperature need to be monitored and controlled somehow. I'm not really into these things but as I remember you can find a good video about controlling cpu's temperatures in smartphones on the Qualcomm website. Well, there was one there before...
Ello Folks,
I'm new to this forum and for some stupid reason I can't post within the forum I wanted to, so I hope someone can help me here..
I have been playing with Custom Roms for a long time and I have ALWAYS encountered problems regarding battery drain. I have searched innumerous times for ways to fix it.. I've tried many different ROMS and KERNELS and I always ended up with a massive battery consumption with little use. I then thought it was my battery as the device is quite old so I decided to buy a new original battery and still having the same problem.
I am starting to think that I am really dumb and doing something wrong or maybe I am just unlucky. I got my phone back in 2011 from T-Mobile UK and I am now running JB 4.2.2 Revolt JB I9100 and Dorimanx V9.33 as kernel.
My battery is going from 100% to 0% in like 4 hours. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Batter drain in 4 hours is not normal. But with heavy usage of 3g/4g it can be. As you said you got heating problems too.
So, first with the battery. Install betterbatterystats from play store. Let the battery drain off completely and charge it to 100 in a go keeping data network/Bluetooth/GPS/WiFi in off mode. Check how much time it's taking to charge it from 0% to 100%. Now discharge it off to 0% and Check the rate of discharge. If it's below 5%/Hour you are safe.
But if it is as you said before 4hours battery backup, there must be some trouble.
These kinds of drastic battery drain happens of many reasons.
1. Poor signal strength.
2. Overloading cpu ( which also cause overheating)
3. Any background running apps which utilizing a bunch a data.
4. Bad kernel (we can pick this out as you tried different kernels.)
5. Defective battery.
Or a last chance
6. A hardware failure.
So inorder to find the root cause behind this problem check each of the possibilities one at a time.
In case of cpu, change the governor and I/o scheduler and see.
In case of background running apps, check whichever programs revising maximum amount of battery.
Hope it helps..

Cheers mate,
I am well aware that custom kernels allow me to overclock it and change governors and i/o and that these kinda settings have a major role on how much battery the device will consume. But as I have never really understood the diferences btw them I for once have never played with the values so I have always left 'em at their default value.
The only real reason I've decided to change to a Custom Rom is to get new versions of the Android OS and to get rid of the hideous TouchWiz skin from Samsung..
I am not living in the UK at the moment as got transfered to Brazil for work and I have been on TIM network and they suck badly so maybe cuz their 3G sucks its whats causing my battery to drain like crazy.
But I will definitely follow your instructions and hopefully I'll get a positive result..
Once again, thank you very much.
So, I don't know if my problem here in particular is unique or new, but this issue started about a week ago.
My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).
Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.
What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.
I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?
If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.
Thanks.

If i was on your place I'd return it back to stock and see how my phone would react. Afterwards if issue has to do anything with hardware I'd unroot + relock bootloader and give it to my provider for a warranty and explain them my problems.

Hmm..
That's not a bad idea. I think I'll flash stock back on to it when I get home tonight. You know, I have insurance on the phone, but I was expecting to have to exchange it for breaking the phone's screen, not for my battery going bad. I hope Stock ROM fixes the problem, or hell.. maybe whenever 4.4.3 ROMs start coming out, that might do the trick to. I've been careful to take care of this phone, since I broke my Nexus 4 two months after I got it.

You're welcome. I hope that you solve your problem as soon as possible. If you take a look how your phone does with stock on your diagnose of a problem would be much easier and from than on if the problem was in software you can try some other roms and kernels. I personally am not really a fan of cyanogenmod 11 at least not for nexus 5 since I've had few bugs using for a few days.

Well, I really liked Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4, and I've had no issues until recently with CM11. :\
I guess stock is going to be my best bet though. I just really hope I can deal with the battery drain issue from mm-qcamera-daemon or whatever.

I've been using SlimKat in combination with Faux's custom kernel for a few days now and I must say that peformance is as smooth as it was never before, speed is absolutely phenomenal and my battery life is more than pleasing (around 24H + 3-4 Hrs of screen on time).

Well, that sounds like exactly I want. I'm not opposed to trying another custom ROM either. Can you PM me a link to the thread with whatever particular build you're using?
If it's efficient and up to 4 hours of on screen time, sounds like exactly what I need.
I'm more than happy to ditch my ROM if I can get better performance, haha.

I'm more than happy to ditch my ROM if I can get better performance, haha.

ROM: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...4-slim-hammerhead-4-4-2-build-4-official-3700
KERNEL: http://faux.romhost.me/hammerhead/kk44/
I'm using non-ultimate version of the kernel which means that it doesn't support overclocking and I'm also using a bit older build which is very stable and works flawlessly for me.
Ah, great. I'm actually going to download it now, while I'm here at work. Also, does this particular ROM work at all with ART Runtime, because if possible, I'd like to continue using it.

It does support ART. I didn't try it on this ROM though so I cannot tell exactly whether it's working or not. You'll have to test it by yourself but I am pretty sure that if your phone doesn't have any hardware issues that you won't be disappointed with the performance of ROM + Kernel with or without ART! Hit thanks if I helped you anyhow :laugh:
PS: Though since the ART is still in beta phase of development there is a possibility that it has caused you so much trouble with battery =)

So, I don't know if my problem here in particular is unique or new, but this issue started about a week ago.
My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).
Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.
What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.
I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?
If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.
Thanks.

Batteries Can't throttle. However the do degrade with use. You can replace the battery with ease.
