Hello, on my Onda v971 tablet running Android 4.2.2, the battery drain is quite obvious (-120%/hour) if you leave the screen and use it moderately (browsing web, youtube, etc.) However, if you leave it idle, it is quite battery friendly (battery usage of about -1.1%/hour). I searched a bit on the web and I hear people saying that it was the ROM that caused the problem. In fact, many people experienced similar issue after upgraded to 4.2.2 no matter what devices they're using. Therefore, I took a snapshot of the battery usage screen and I found that the Screen occupies a great portion in the overall battery consumption. However, on my Note running 4.1.2, I saw that the screen occupies a much less portion in the battery usage. So, here are question that arised;
- Is the battery drain caused by the Android 4.2.2 version of the ROM?
- Is the battery drain caused by the screen?
- The Screen occupies a greater portion in the Battery usage in the case of the tablet than in the case of the Note 2 because a tablet has a bigger screen than the phone or because of it is running Android 4.2.2?
Thanks.
Its obvious I need to change my kernel and ROM now but I can't find a descent 1 lol hopefully the best 1 does not void my warranty thumbs crossed <--- purposely done
Do have the same experience? If so, can you post some screenshot and specified that device you have?

Root/flashing won't void your warranty as long as you are able to keep your binary count = 0.

Better switch back to the old rom (Stock Rom), it happened with me 2.
I am using the stock ROM that comes with it since there are very few or maybe even none of custom ROM for it.
Are you using any kind of custom ROM? Is it base on 4.2.2?

i same problem with 4.3 stock rom on my galaxy s4 , the google services drain my battery =(
Conclusion: using an up to date firmware is not always a good thing. Hope Onda will release a downgraded 4.1.2 firmware to fix the problem...

You are right, there could also be a chance that the battery meter is not correct. But now I am wondering that why it is not correct even that it comes from stock...

Look in your battery stats and see what is draining the battery.
I know there are a few ROMs that have the 'android os' power drain bug. I don't know the cause or whether a solution is being worked on. It seems the core of many of the ROMs are based on the same things. Kernels, modems, etc.
If it's the android os draining your battery start airplane mode, and then turn it off. Everything should go back to normal.... at least for a day or two.
I've run Zeus and JB-paranoid android. both has this issue. When i ran CM9 i didnt seem to have problems.
If it is not an issue for you, then upgrade to the latest build.
The one you are running is almost a month old now, so a lot of development has occured since then, specially at Scott's pace.
I don't guarantee it will solve your issues.. maybe it is one of your apps. But it definitely would not hurt to update, plus i'm pretty sure you will enjoy it

That's a joke right? 1% in 5 hours of standby is great battery life...think of it this way at that rate it would take 500 hours of standby to die...that's 20 days of standby!
Btw...official specs are 400 hours of standby...so your way above normal in a good way
Edit...think I might've mis read your reply...is the 1% drain when its running good? And what your complaining about is when it drains faster cause of android os?

Maybe slightly less than 1% per 5 hours. However, it was that good. I mean I got replacement phone week ago. So it is brand new battery.
But I'm still having that problem.. Android OS drains **** tons of battery. If I restart the phone, it solves problem for a day. I wonder if there is any permanent fix...
thank you

ive seen that reflashing and doing a full wipe, seems to fix this problem 3/5 times. the 4th person usually has a bad download of the rom while the 5th person has figured out the problem on their end.

Any ICS or JB ROMs will use more battery than older builds of android. Its one of the small prices to pay with all the great new features. I carry a charger with me at all times. I'm going to get a larger replacement backup battery and I won't even worry about drainage after that

Hi today I had heating issues with the new 4.2.2 rom, before rooting and after rooting.
Now with cpu control I saw it work on 99% load the whole time, I rebooted and it's gone now.
like 2% battery in 10 minutes. So yes maybe this version has a bug.
I'm still hoping for CM 10.x because we also don't have camera control on lockscreen if you use PIN to unlock.
bye
I have no problem with battery drain. Also not with over heating. But the lockscreen problem its also by me.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
For heating issue, the phone is extra hot when charging than usual, probably because of the SetCPU app incompatibility issue with 4.2.2 (1200mhz all the time).
For battery drain, yea as mentioned above, 1200mhz all the time...
Overally, we need a better kernel for this 4.2.2.
If it is really a cpu problem u can underclock ur cpu or use an another govener. But for this ur phone has to be rooted

Yes I changed the governer to conservative / noop. I am on the lookout for this bug, it has not returned yet. I had it twice, before and after rooting. I don't know what program is doing this, if it happens now I can see what is doing it.
It's a bug in the rom.
Hmm if i can get my pc running again is would start searching too. But at the moment i have so problems with my network drivers and ndiswrapper xD

I have flashed 4.2.2 two days ago, I haven't experienced any battery and/or heating issues as of late.
I've found that sometimes when you opened the gallery app and done some photo viewing and thing like that with the gallery, it stayes at 25-50% running cpu in the background. I don't know what I've done because sometimes it's just normal. It stops when you fully close the app.

I need a way to debug my phone and figure out what is causing such high CPU usage and poor battery life. After startup, my phone sticks at 100% until it freezes and restarts but sometimes I get lucky and it goes down a few percentages but freezes again when I start multi tasking a bit. I don't know what changed. Any app to debug or log what's going on?
Also my phone will read a low battery amount and when I restart, it jumps up 20-30 points

Install Wake Lock Detector to find out which process is hogging your CPU time.
From what I can tell, all the normal startup apps (mesages,facebook,widgets), are using full amount of CPU. All of them. The blue bars were full. That's for the few minutes after startup being 100% usage. Still investigating the random spikes that occurs while using my phone. It's a matter of being able to open and use this app as my phone becomes unresponsive

So I've been running apps and periodically monitoring my CPU. When it starts to get above 80% on both 0 and 1, I check what's up with wakelock detector and it doesn't even list the app I'm using when my cpu spikes like dolphin. It happens often with dolphin, tumblr, games. But they don't appear in wakelock.
The apps that do appear are barely doing anything

What's your battery ?
4 hours is very low. Maybe you need new battery..
And which rom exactly do you use ?
I used Inspiration 1.0.1 for a log time and i had the best battery life on this rom. it works fine with lower CPU/GPU frequency. Vipers 5.0.0 also seems to have nice battery life (i'm on it now).

As you can tell from the subject of the thread .. I'm problems with my battery .. I'm running stock Rom ! And the phone can only live for 7-8 hours at its best .. is this something normal ?

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.

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.

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.

battery life isnt really about what kernel you use. battery life is all about how you use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and most importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection. sure, a kernel might be able to help you get slightly better battery. but its really your use and your signal. and if your signal is bad quality, then your battery will always suffer.
"Good battery life" does not apply to "everybody" that has rooted. Many root and simply expect that battery life must be improved, but still need to understand the basic laws of physics first.
(People's definition of "Good" in this scenario also varies massively...)
It comes down to how you use the device. There is no 'best settings' you should be looking for. Save yourself the time, and first understand what is using your battery.
SOT is a measurement, but a crude one. It offers no insight into what those 6 hours were doing...You can be certain that it wasn't 6 hours gaming at 100% brightness though. Under relatively light CPU load, low brightness, good signal etc...the laws of physics will explain higher SOT...

How are y'all doing it? 6 hours? That's not that good to me. And some dude said he got 6 hours of on-screen time. I'm rooted with experimental kernel

this past week some people were having problems with the battery life on CM11 ROM, but it seems it's been fixed on the nightly version, try downloading greenify so you can put those annoying battery eating apps to sleep

What does root access have to do with battery life?
Everyone with battery issues need to go here:

I Highly Recommend Privacy Settings
What I did to improve my battery life was to deny most of the Google apps from waking my device and/or keeping my device awake. I have attached pictures. This improved my battery by atleast double. Also using 2g connection when connected to WiFi.
Those denied numbers have risen to 6 digits.

I suppose to rephrase the question "what other battery saving options are available to root users?"
