Ok. On 4.4 (with linaro version of franco kernel) i could leave wifi on and overnight get 2% battery loss.
Now on 4.4.1 (again with linaro version of franco kernel) i get 5% overnight loss. Nothing else has changed!???
Here are my battery stats...
(i plugged it in just before bed so it'd reset the 'unplugged')

I think betterbatterystats is what causes the battery drain in 4.4.1, i uninstalled it and no problems.
Based on the screenshots (log from BBS would be better as some stats are missing in your post) you've got WiFi on with few applications utilizing it. Like SwiftKey, Facebook and few others. Review your WiFi configuration (you may also need to remove/forget your WiFi network from the phone and configure it again - that seem to fix certain WiFi issues at 4.4.1) and check again.Also try with WiFi off for comparison.
Thanks I've just forgot the wifi and rebooted then re connected, I don't get why SwiftKey is using it? It's a keyboard!?

5% loss overnight is still decent I would take that
mine seems ok
edit. seems the pic has gone wrong. it shows the battery going up a few per cent overnight
I know but it's over the double the 2% i used to get!

I also feel the battery drain quite a lot faster. About two times faster when idle, and i see quite a lot "awake" caused by the Android System when the screen is off.
@wheilitjohnny
that must be coming from some process. I don't have such issue, it's pretty much the same as it was on 4.4.
I've not changed any apps etc since tho. That's what's annoying

Hello,
I need some help with my evo...i have it running on the fresh 3.5 ROM and netarchy-toasts kernel, latest version and all. I am overclocking as well, but nothing to drastic. Until recently, the battery life on my phone went into the ***** literally. Before it went 24 hours plus with medium to heavy usage. Now i can leave the screen on and literally (no exaggeration) watch the battery drain sliver by sliver. I just did a complete data wipe and reflashed the rom and kernel both in hopes of resolving the issue, but its still draining. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need this fixed but cant figure it out on my own :/
edit: the only time this happens is when the screen is on, when the screen is off it STILL DOES drain more than usual, but nothing compared to what happens when its unlocked. My though is that an app is running in the background eating up my batter life, but i have no clue what it is or how to locate it.
This is what the battery usage is looking like. Always Android system up at the top

Disable your mobile connection when not using it turn auto brightness off off auto sync but the main factor is.the mobile connection turn that off when not using and u we get better battery results
What's gd for these kind of things is juice defender

I forgot to mention that i have juicedefender installed already, and set cpu with profiles as well. one of the profiles is for when the screen is off, set for 300/300 (not accurate, but is set around that)
If its going as fast as you say (literally draining in an hour or so) I would say check your batter, try a new one. Otherwise you already have juice defender (which I tried and it really didn't do much else) so everything should be covered. Try wiping Dalvik cache, also try wiping batter stats (both are in clockwork recovery under the "advanced" tab.
Good luck and sorry if this doesn't help
Hey,
Download Juice Defender and AutoKiller fro the market and watch the Magic. me and you have the same phone and same rom. Note: delete any tsk Managers ou have because they will interfere with juice defender..
Can someone tell me any suggestions to have better battery life with a custom kernel
I'm currently running aokp milestone 4 with trinity and just look at this horrible battery stats

And just by typing this I lost 2 percent
Flash Matr1x to start. See if that helps. Also, look at what apps are running. settings>apps>running. See if anything there is on a lot, and stop it. Turn auto sync off.
I get about 20 hours of decent usage with this setup
every kernel and rom combo is going to perform differently. I find the best way to get the most out of my battery is to calibrate the battery by fully charging, allowing the battery to fully discharge, and then repeating those two steps once or twice more.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...
download battery calibration app from market, fully charge battery (94 or 95%), then calibrate using the app. Allow your battery to fully discharge (until it shuts itself off), and finally charge your phone completely with it still off. You should notice an amazing enhancement in battery life.

what I do is: (Use NSTools, its easier to make this setups!)
- Use LiveOC on 110%
- Overclock to 1110 Mhz - 200 Mhz
- Activate Deep Idle
- Use Lionheart governor.
Try this and see if it helps.
Turn off GPS and nfc if you're not using it! And wifi if you're not connected to a network, I think that may help something!

How about you tell us your on screen time?
Seems like your phone is on for quite sometime given that is it at 41%. Usually during a normal day mine usually consumes 28% with 2 hours of on screen time.
If you're hitting 4-6 hours of on screen time, that battery stat is NORMAL.
Thank you guys for your suggestion but i think my battery is just too old
im ordering some spare batteries for amazon
Tell me what you think about these

Since flashing Carbon ROM two nights ago, I've been seeing com.android.systemui consistently at or near the top of my battery stats screen (screen shot below). When I was on Cataclysm, I never noticed this. Is this something I should worry about/deal with?

You've only used 3,% of your battery. See what it looks like later in the day. It should be less than 5%. If it isn't then yes, something is not right. Turn location off until you need it. That week save battery.
Sent from my Nexus 5
the % used in the graph is the % used of total battery drain.
you only lost 3% total battery and 49% of that 3% was used by the system.
there is no problem as of now.
Check out lockscreen notifications if you have pocket mode on it keeps the proximity sensor on all the time and will cause a larger than normal drain.

This is very helpful. Thanks -- I'll try disabling lockscreen notifications/pocket mode.
You cannot tell anything from stats after only a few percent of battery drain. Look again after you've burned 90 percent off the battery.

It's a bug. Reboot helps some cleaning cache others. Google know about it. There's a long thread on this
Sent by mobile telephone.
Comrades, I need help after resetting my phone, some automatic lock usually lock my opened or active application. This usually make the application block unless u reopen it again. Im using samsung t43. Im Harry
So I came from the note 4 and thought I would see better battery and screen on time. I see the posts in the note 5 thread that people are getting 7-10 hours of screen on time and maybe the most I can get is 5. Is this from the sprint cell service or something else. I have a lot of apps disabled with package Disabler and I am not rooted. What are your battery stats?

Just about the same as yours. I get about 3 hours of screen on time. However, I do leave wifi, gps, and Bluetooth on all the time. I have a bluetooth headset connected for the majority of the time.
Most I get is about 3.5 SOT so I would say you're getting pretty good battery life.
Confused about the Office apps.
My battery life is good so I can't complain but I find that the pre-installed Microsoft Office apps are taking up quite a bit of my precious juice. Since I have not rooted yet I can't freeze these apps. Is anyone else consistently noticing these apps at the top of their battery usage?
You can use package Disabler to freeze apps.

I get great battery, just deboated and used an app called kernel toolkit.
I get 6-10 hours on screen if not more and all day battery with screen off, but my phone is seriously deboated and most apps stopped from starting.
I get over 3 hours in a 16 hour day. It's not great, but more than enough to get me through the day. The fast charge also helps for the heavier use days.

Yes Microsoft Word was murdering my battery.
Well, after i substitute the battery with a new one using this guide i got really f up.
Now i guess the real problem is the one in the title. I alredy tried to:
- flash back to stock
- keep the stock for a few days
- flash a clean sultan
- pray Cthulhu
Now i'm using the latest SultanCM and it charges at an insane speed while the battery lasts less of course... Any idea of the reason behind it? Maybe @Sultanxda knows?

The reason is your new battery,no matter which one you buy,they always fu*k up.
The only thing you can do is wait for the battery to calibrate completely.

This graph shows percentage and voltage of the battery over almost 24h. At first i'm charging, then i use it normally. After many attemps like this one i noticed that the battery life is now normal, but the percentage is still f up. Maxium voltage was around 4.3V, which is fine i guess
Is it common that the voltage reading is so inaccurate?
