battery drain soo fast when in use

battery drain soo fast when in use
i bought my samsung galaxy 2 tab 7 p3100 few day back and im not satisfied with the battery when in use it battery drains soo fast approximately stands for 15 hours only when left unused stands for 1 and half to 2 day...i can see battery percent goes 1 by 1 with minutes when i use is continuously and my version is P3100DDLE1 ... i use 2g gprs all the time and stay connect all the time in facebook and whatsapp 24x7 and gmail ....... should i claim warranty for the battery??? does anyone face the same problem????

I am running on roughly 7 hours at 78% of battery left. Been using the Internet a lot (Facebook, some Drop Box upload/download) and the Wifi is on all the time when the tab is not locked/standby. I played a little bit of a basic game as well (Free Flow), so it isn't graphically intense. I am by no means the most experienced here, but in my opinion, that sounds like some decent, if not very good, battery usage..

Thanks for your kind reply may i know how many hours once you charge your device ????

I used mine on Friday for 10hrs,tons of browsing,I turned the screen on and off many,many times, video calls for roughly 10mins,music,games for 45mins and at the end of all this I still had a 42% left.
The device is the P3100 wifi+3g it is rooted; I was only using wifi,so no 3G at all, I also had the tab on airplane mode with wifi constantly running,so no 911 calls.
I am running the latest stock rom,it is rooted and bloatware free,I also limit the background processes down to none,1 or 2 max.
So far I am very happy with my tab, although wifi is still spotty.
OP What are your settings?

Here is a screenshot of my battery usage once pulled off the charger after a full charge. I have the Wi-Fi only version of the tab.
If you cannot view the screenshot.. After a full charge, I have 44% battery life left, have been running on the battery for 1 day and 7 hours, and the screen has taken the largest toll at 46%.

guys, could you tell how long was your screen on, please?
mine was only roughly 6 hrs.

Screen should always be the largest consumer of battery

was it roughly 6 hours when it drained fully???
my galaxy tab p3100 drained fully in roughly 5 hours of screen time on

At least for me, turning down the brightness all the way and disabling some system apps that are always on helped my battery a lot.

Yes, my screen is usually on about 6 to 7 hrs. And my battery life is about 15 to 24 hours.
I wonder those said their battery can stay for more than 1 day, how long was their screen on?
My guess is although the battery can stay long time but the screen on is only about 6 to 7 hours.
If yours only 5 hours maybe the gsm signal was not good. Try to change to 2g only. Or change other provider.

Hey thanks for the reply i use 2g sim only and I'm 24x7 online in 2g gprs i guess the gprs can also consume that much battery I guess I'm i right????

I am sure there are people who use the tabs for different things,if you are studying or reading a lot you will be able to see how long it lasts on, for users like me that turn it on and off pretty often the battery lasts maybe longer. I use it a lot for hours and hours,but it is never on for more than 1hr.

Like user 2 posts back said. I seem to charge mine every 5 days and it is always on stand by when not being used.
good day.

No problem for me about battery on Tab p3100

I felt that having Sim card inside the 3100 drains the battery pretty fast. I was not using much of 3G/GPRS connection. So after removing the Sim, I found battery usage reduced drastically. Overnight, the battery used to drain by 7 to 8% in standby mode with Sim card inside.

I don't understand, how people can comfortable use tablet with screen brightness at 0% or even 20%... it's mystical to me..If you buying tablet, you want to get good screen quality, good battery life (even at 50-70% brightness), smooth performance and so on...I have 2 tablets, ipad 2 and Samsung 3110. I really love my samsung, but battery life totally suck on it, when you compared to ipad...

Not a good comparison, iPad has a bigger battery

whats your battery life like now a days on the SG3?

i am thinking of getting a SG3 locally that is really cheap. whats your battery life like now a days especially SCreen on time!
and if you can let me know what ROm/kernal or are u stock. that would help me in my decision.
thanks guys

The gs3 gets respectable battery life IMO.
3 - 4 hrs screen on time (4 when on Wi-Fi all day).
Running synergy r373 with ziggys kernel. Stock battery.

i got 7hr screen on time once, but that was once.
i get around 4-5 on average.

7 hours on screen time at best maybe more with the battery saving apps and Greenify. 5 hours is the norm for me. I am running Plasma VIII with Kt747 kernel.

can some of you post screen shots of the screen on time?

This was an exceptional day, like I said. I average 4-5 hours of screen on time. I am running a 2200mah battery. That is only like a 5% increase over the stock one though. even if you take 5% away from that its beyond impressive.

This is my battery life after close to 3 hours. It looks like I am well on my way to 7 hours.

I'm assuming min brightness at all times for anything over 5 hrs? I run auto since I'm outdoors all day which may explain why 3-4 is my avg

I am on auto also but my phone is in my pocket most of the time while outside with only music playing which depending on the music app doesn't eat up much battery.

Roughly around 7-8 hours of screen on time. With Hyperdrive ROM/Zeus Kernal and connected to Wi-Fi at work and home.

Update of my battery life.

Pretty Decent
I'm getting an average of around 10 hours with three hours of screen time. Not doing any games and have 4G of most of the time though so that helps. And Juice Defender makes a big difference too. I'm running rootbox with BMS kernel-Governor asswax with sio scheduler

I don't have the specifics but I could run all day (10am to 2am ish) with moderate use and either WiFi or data always on when I was stock. Flashed PACman ROM and the battery life has taken a pretty sharp nosedive. Really digging the ROM so I'm looking for some kind of work around.

Right now, 66%, unplugged for 12 hours, 38 minutes screen on time. Screen on will go up now that I am off work and catching up on all the days events.
How do you upload screenshots from the phone? I keep hanging on waiting for response.
Sent from my PACmaned SCH-I535

I get about 7.5 hours out of the stock battery with the screen on about 30% of the time. I'm on Carbon 1.6.1.
By the way, I love your pick. Let's go Pens!

I have an screenshot app for that called Screenshot UX. Oh here is another screenshot.

Terrible Battery Life

I don't know how everyone else is getting 3-5 hours of on screen time. When my screen is on, I lose about 1 percent every 2 minutes it seems like. When I look at the app usage, the kernel and media are sucking the life out of the battery. I am really discouraged about this battery because my G2 would easily get 3.5+ hours of on screen time. So far, I am going to be lucky to get about an hour.

Something is wrong with ur phone or u have some jacked up apps. I have got over 6 hours screen time with this phone and got over 5 with my DNA. You need to download GSAM or BEtter battery stats.

I have Gsam installed but sometimes it doesn't accurately record on screen time as it resets to 0. Also, today I unplugged my phone and the phone was thinking that the charger was still connected. As I said, Gsam reports that the Kernel is taking battery power.

Mine has terrible battery life
I am very much on the same page with you. I am on my 4th cycle.
Mine only last 14 hours with 3 hours of screen time. I don't understand how all these people are getting 5 to 6 hours of screen time.
I have both Better Battery Stat and GSam monitor and it shows Kernel is taking 50% and system is taking 6.2%

Just try with different kernals,good kernals would give exellent battery life

I would gladly take the battery problems to get rid of this brand new beast. It's too Frickin big.. I had g2 but sold it. Paid 700 for this att note 3...lol. straight talk on att towers to save on bills. But this thing may be the fastest latest greatest next to the new releases of '14 but I should have kept the g2...This is a tank. I'd swap for smaller phone in heartbeat. Might post cl ad

Are you in the right forum? This makes no sense.

I think it highly depends on what you're doing when screen is on. If you're playing games or using a lot of data, it can drain very quickly. If you're watching local videos or something, your battery would last a lot longer.

Im a beginner, xda said i must have 10 posts to do anything on xda so i was filling my posts..sorry friend....now i got 10 posts so im playing with n9005 rom section now

if you are rooted, install better battery stats (free on xda from the dev) to see the culprit.
clearly something is keeping the phone awake and hogging the cpu

So far today with only 10 minutes of screen on time and 45 minutes of playing a podcast through Bluetooth in my car the battery is down to 92%. This podcast was already downloaded and just playing from Dogcatcher. When I left I rebooted the phone right after pulling it off the charger. The phone is rooted and all Verizon apps are disabled. I see the android system at 40% and Google Services at 15% usage. Yesterday with only about 2 hours of screen on time I was down to 18% after 10 hours off the charger. I do not see any one app drawing power, it is always the android system it seems.
Edit: Using BetterbatteryStats I noticed that my phone has basically been awake the entire time it has been off the charger. Out of 2.5 hours it was in deep sleep for 10 minutes.

I don't get great battery life either. Nor do I get good game performance. Battery has went down 9% in less than 2 hours of idle. Just downloaded gsam the kernel use is the highest at 26+ percentage

Turning off Location Reporting made a HUGE difference to my battery life. I accidentally left my phone laying in bed next to me last night instead of plugged in, and it dropped maybe 5% over 6 hours.

I will try disabling location reporting. But I know with my Galaxy S3 I had this enabled and did not have battery issues.

I turned off location reporting and location history and am seeing better battery life today. 5hrs 47 min and 89% battery left.

My battery is confusing me. First 2 days.. 15hrs 3hrs screen on time.. 3 days after that 24+hrs with 5hrs screen on time... The past couple of days I'm back down to 14-15hrs with 1-3hrs screen on time. This is running it down to 10%
My usage isn't much different from day to day.
Power saving is now enabled and I turned off location settings. Let's see...
M8, nuff said.

What I do not understand is why my old GS3 and my co-workers HTC One M7 with location services on, do not have this battery drain problem. This should not be an issue.

Yeah, it seems to be an on and off issue. On my GNex sometimes after flashing a ROM I had to turn location reporting off to get through the day, and then after the next ROM flash I didn't.

[Q] Honor 6 H60-L04 Stand-By time to decide if to buy

Good day to all the people using the Honor 6 H60-L04,
I currently have a Moto X 2013 and I love almost everything about it. The one thing that really makes me mad about the phone is the battery. I can get 6:30 hours of SoT during normal use, but during Standby / Sleep mode the phone eats a minimum of 2.0% to 3.0% drain per hour. It does not matter if the phone is even in Airplane mode, it drains about the same.
Now, I am looking for a phone that will not need to have everything turned off just to have 1 day of regular use and to have a small drain per hour when the phone is not being used.
Could some users share their average Standby time on their Honor 6? Other than not being splashproof (Why couldn't Huawei follow the steps of the Honor 3?), the Honor 6 is the most attractive option for me right now due to price and performance, just need to know how is the avg drain per hour when screen off is to make a decision.

At night my battery was eat 1%

So in about 8hrs it drops 1%? If you use GSAM Battery Monitor it would say a little more than 0.1%/hour or similar?

Running the latest CM11. I lose maybe 4% every 24 hours in standby. My last battery cycle to 4% was 6 hours screen time, 2 days 14 hours total.

I received the Honor 6 on Friday, very happy with it! Tried this last night, and between 1am and 9 this morning it was only 1%, with wifi on all the time.

Hi,
Question, was it 1% battery drop total from 1AM till 9AM, so for example from 100% to 99% or a 1% battery drop per hour every hour from 1AM till 9AM, so 100% to 92%

Those are some solid numbers. Would you consider yourself a heavy user? How did you use the phone during that period of time?

1% in total. I went from 27 to 26% overnight.
Still very happy with the H60 battery-life, I consider myself as a heavy user (whatsapp, facebook, twitter, etc) and I get around 6h of screen-on time.

Wow,
that is awesome. Too bad I found out that the phone is very weak in the sound department. I saw samples of videos taken in noisy environments (concert) and the sound was awful. Also, some reviews and users report that the sound coming out of the headphone jack is also of very low quality compared to other phones on the same price range.

I'm a medium to heavy user at home, browsing on Chrome, WhatsApp, YouTube. I usually get 6 hours of on screen time on heavy use with WiFi.
But if I am at the office, I will put my phone on 2G GSM just for replying messages and this will make my phone last for 1 day 12 hours at most with probably 3 hours on screen time.
Sound wise, the speakers at the back of the phone is not that great because it is a mono speaker. I am not so much of a music/sound person so that does not bother me as long as the volume is loud enough for me to hear my phone rings.
Earphones/headphones wise, i am happy with the quality of sound and I am only using my cheap CreaTive earphones.

Thanks for the feedback. For the battery, it is odd that it would last so little on 2G considering what was said before that the phone has excellent stand by time battery usage. If I was you, I would check if your phone is going into sleep mode while at the office, it could be something is keeping it awake.
For the sound, I am a heavy music listener and this is a deal breaker. On top of that, the audio during video recording is bad, and you won't notice until that special moment when you want to record a video and then you play it back and the sound is horrible with clipping and distortion (like on my old Galaxy S2).

Yeah like i said, replying messages on office days. So i always check my phone every minute. The culprit is too many incoming WhatsApp Group chats.
I've tried using the protected app feature and kill all background apps. It does make a big difference, i have seen my phone going more than 2 days unplugged with battery life still remaining more than 10%.
So it depends on the user really. Im too lazy to kill apps nowadays, because to me 1full day of battery life with 3G & medium usage is good enough. .

I have bought brand new honor 6, 2 weeks ago..
I have noticed that its draining very fast. 5-6% just 6hours night standby. no Wifi. 0 App is running after screen turned off.
Closed all recent open apps from history.
See two screenshots.
3% drained, for 28 minutes of wifi on (use for just making screenshots)
Ps:I have upgraded on marshmellow
Any solution will appreciated.

Battery is ok,but I dont count every single percent and on latest version of the stock rom screen on time is around 5 hours when you install all your apps and stuff.Phone is good overall,but its not worth upgrading from moto x 2013.Better stick with it and if you care about battery that much,install a custom rom/kernel or get powerbank.

Battery Issues -> 32.2.A.0.224

I know I can look desperate, but this problem is driving me crazy.
My battery was good (but not perfect) in Android 6.0, but this latest update .224 is horrible! I have the same apps and the same use and with a maximum of 3 hours SoT! In one hour of normal use lose almost 10%!
Some people are having the same problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ues-32-2-A-0-224/td-p/1137290/highlight/false
I did not clean install of 6.0 to 6.0.1. I just did clean install of 5.1 to 6.0.
There are people who did clean install and are having the same problem.
Someone here is going through the same problem?

Hey, I had the exact same problem as you (UK Generic) and I did a clean install as well. I had to do a factory reset after installing and it took about 2 days for the battery drainage to settle down. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 days of battery which is similar to the previous firmware.
Try a factory reset.

To be honest, I'm getting the best battery life I ever had out of that smallish 2,900mAh battery + power-hungry Snapdragon 810, since .224
I still don't get the battery life I had out of my OnePlus One (that thing was a beast), but it's better. I get home after work with between 25% and 35% battery left now. With Lollipop and Marshmallow 6.0, pre 224, it would usually be between 15~20% (25% on good days), same usage pattern.
The Z5 is still not a very good phone in the battery life department, and probably neve will be, but it's better now.
One important thing though: I clean-installed .224

The funny thing is rebooted the device and now improved! Yesterday I got 4 SoT easy! I believe to be some kind of bug that was draining my battery! But anyway I will do a clean install!

I turned off once and giving reboot again, but had not resolved! The system android was 9% and then increased to 14% of battery usage. Is now 6%, ie normal.

I got 4 hours 40 minutes of SOT today, from 100 to 2%. This was mainly browsing and some videos over the span of 10 hours. If I'm lucky I can get 12 hours overall but with only 2-3h screen on time, as I don't use the phone as often.
I noticed something odd today - Wifi is now showing at he top of my usage details and it shows an entire span of Wifi usage (from 19 days ago, I think that is when the phone was updated). It has no impact on the battery life but it's just odd that "screen" doesnt show on the top anymore. I rebooted and the same thing occurs.
The battery usage screen really sucks now - you can't even see if the phone is "awake" or when there was wifi/mobile signal etc.

I got over 7hours with WiFi connected, Opera browser to read wattpad and my phone still had 27%. I've just unplugged my phone 2 hours ago and used it to surfing GG+ and Facebook, 20% for 2hour and 10mins usage. So it's good or bad? This result is a little better than my old Z2.

Same thing here. I usually have up plug in mid of the day just to make sure i have enough juice to survive the night. Around 3 hrs SOT only. Even with the auto sync off and wifi scanning off. Location service is off too. I don't see why the standard stamina mode has been removed that usually prolongs battery. I have doze installed for mobile data minimized but still around 3hrs or so

I get the same WiFi bug and it's currently showing 18 days! Did you clean install the update? OTA or via Xperia Companion?

Which option do you see it?

With normal use, (browsing, social networks, videos, etc) I lose about 10% -15% per hour which I think is normal because I use it a lot. so it may last about 6 - 8 hours until it reaches 20% and I charge it immediately, I only drained the battery from 100% to 0% one time. Because I read somewhere full drains are not good for battery. Anyway if I play games, for example Need for Speed No Limits, I lose about 20% in an hour or so. so if I keep playing it will last only 4 hours aprox. maybe less. But there had been days where I almost don't use the phone and it lasts all day. So I really can't complain. But it certainly doesn't lasts 2 days as Sony said

After charging to 100%, it's gone.
I updated with OTA this time around, and not a clean install.

Got the new update promise to fix batt, did you guys update?

Without any changes on usage type (I cannot say its regular on everyday, but I can say that there is no difference between last update and and previous one) battery performance on last update is about half of the previous one! Even if the stamina mode is activated, draining is very fast on my device (z5 compact). Draining on stamina mode is larger than normal usage on normal mode (prev version). In short, this problem is very very bad on my phone. I'm wondering when this issue will be solved or this is just happened on my device?

Have to keep it in your mind.

I did clean install of .224, wipe everything. Let the battery dies completely and recharged up to 100% without stopping. I had a significant improvement in battery life!
