What do you mean by background data and how do you set that?

Just an observation, but the graph at the top under where it says 1 day 19 hours clearly shows your battery going up 3 times. Which I was just going to pass up but I have a bunch of shots of my battery stats and none of them go up.

So if I'm not mistaken you plugged in a couple times.

I seen that as well but I honestly have no idea why. I can assure you it has not been plugged in. I even have a prior screen shot on another battery run that has the same issue.

Thats impossible, theirs no way for a phone to charge itself while discharging. Something is screwed up with your battery calibration.

Battery Management
Hi, all.
I want to pass this tip along to anyone who want or need to conserve their battery for what ever reasons.
I have gone usually 3 day+ on one charge.
I'm running on stock rom. Froyo 2.2.1
It is rooted though
I use the phone moderately. Text occasionally.
I downloaded an app called "DataSwitch" by TomatoX.
I use wifi when I'm at home or work.
I have dataswitch activated when I don't need constant background data. ?I turn it on when I need to use it for surfing and such.
In Settings, there is also a toggle for background on/off, although I don't use this much.
With the data off, you can still get phone call and text msg.
I usually turn off data and wifi at bedtime.
On the third day, I'm usually down to 35%.
This may also be useful if you are low and can't get to a charge right away.
It may not apply to everybody, but it works for me..esp with only a 200mb data plan. Battery life is great!

lol look at that cell standby use your phone lol

Good one. But next time on, it would be more useful if you post the screenshots showing call duration and display time. With just this one screenshot it could have display on for just 5 mins or 50 mins. Its hard to tell.
Just now noticed, the tiny green bars in the screenshot (circled in red) come up when the phone is charging.

I noticed that (at least for my phone) if you connect it to wall charging it would reset the "time on battery" count but if i connected it via usb to pc it was charging, yeah slowly maybe but the timer never reset when connected via usb as if the phone said "well im charging but it doesnt counts since the guy its transfering data"(lmao yeah my phone is smart) so if you wait for 10% battery ans then go usb mode and charge it and use it and repeat i once got displaying 4 days 10 hours on battery haha.
While on my real stats my phone never last more than 18 hours ;/

I got my phone to say 2 days 15 hours once. As long as I don't charge it 100% the time on my battery continues to go up. I can plug it in while it has 10% left charge it till its 90% unplug it, and the time won't reset.

If anyone mistook my comment, I'm not really interested in claiming any specific record as the op as stated.
I simply meant to share my thoughts on "dataswitch" app and how I had applied it.
I think found it useful to limit data usage and to conserve the battery when I can't get a charge right away.
You'll be surprise how much battery life background data consumes.
The other part tech part of me also recognizes that battery memory exist...it may be best to "widen" your charge range (0% to 100%) when possible.

Well, I figured out what caused that.. My radio in my truck has a USB port that I plug my phone into to listen to my music. Worked great on my Ipod but it wouldn't charge my Ipod. However today when coming home, I plugged my phone in and it doesnt show to be charging, but when I looked at the Battery Use chart, it deffinately showed an increase.
And here I was thinking I was getting impecable battery life lol.
Oh well.. Sorry for the fuss. However, I will keep trying

"Stay Awake" while Charging

I know I've asked this Q before but can't find the answer and its driving me mad. Google searches turn up the obvious "go into settings>applications>development >screen will never sleep while charging" - The problem is my screen DOES sleep while charging. I had it working for a while but have recently returned to bone stock through a fxz and the screen will NOT stay on while plugged into any type of charge ie; wall wort, computer, car charger etc. Its really a nuisance because I like to have the screen on while driving for easy access to my music widget. Any ideas?

Stupid question, perhaps, but do you have your screen timeout set to anything other than "never"?

Yes I do. Is that the only way "stay awake" is supposed to work? Seems a bit redundant. I know for whatever reason the phone was behaving differently before I wiped it. I've always set it for a 2 minute time out but if it was plugged in it would stay awake.

Not sure, I always set to "never" timeout because I like the option to put the phone to sleep via power button and at my discretion... still won't stay awake with the timeout settings while charging?

I wiped car dock data, rebooted several times, tried plugging in then ticking off the box, unplugging the ticking off the box... no screen time out, etc. Its not working like it should. I know I had this problem months ago and can't remember what remedied it. Lots of ROMs and tweaks in-between then and now. But bone stock it never worked out of the box if I remember and its not working now that I'm back to stock. Weird. I'm thinking of giving "better battery stats" app a try. This has to have something to do with wakelocks. Any other ideas?

Try Better Battery Stats (I've used that app) or try Watchdog Task Manager to check for wake locks.

[Light bulb goes ON over head] Here's an idea. Maybe there is no official "display" stays on while charging. Maybe the developer setting is to keep the screen/CPU running even with the display off. I've done as you do and set the "display" to never time out. Also I've ticked the box to have the "screen" stay on while charging. It might be my imagination but the display appears to jump to life when turning it on via the power button now while on the charger. There is no delay whatsoever. Does that make sense? Either way, I'm gonna run it like this for a while and test that idea. I usually use the power button to turn off the display anyway instead of letting it time out. I just always liked that auto-off in case i forget to turn it off before pocketing it. Thoughts?

Let me experiment on my phone and see if I see the same things you are. I'll let you know what I find out...

The ONLY way to do what you want is to either do as you did and do a "never" time out, or to go to:
Settings --> Application settings --> Development, then check the Stay awake option.
YOU MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A CHARGER FOR THE ABOVE SETTING TO WORK!!!
I will be 100% honest here, and that I have the HD dock sitting on my desk and when I connect it to the charger on the doc, it NEVER turns the screen off, and I do not have the Stay awake checked in the development menu. I also have my timeout set to 1 min.

Then theres that whole "in pocket detection" thing going on lol. I finally have that working with the current settings. Woohoo! So that means no worry that the display stays on if I somehow forget to use the power button to switch it off. I'm just fine tuning all the features of stock GB and now along comes ICS. Ha-ha.

Achieving perfect powder management always seems a bit elusive for me be it mobile devices, laptops or even some desktops. Then, just when I have it fixed some newly installed app will come along and knock it all off its precarious axis. Here's hoping ICS has better management.

I get 48 hours on a charge with HEAVY use, and tethering since I am at client sites alot, and that means usually no internet for me, unless I wifi tether.
I can go 36 hours and be at 25%, and at 44 hours I am at about 10%. I charge my phone every night if I can, but when I cant, I can squeeze 46-50 hours out, with out changing a thing. I don't play games, nor do I allow adds, have all adds blocked on my phone with a hack to the /etc/hosts file. The ads block is in most of the custom roms in the dev section too.
I am bone stock with root right now, while I work on a few things, so that might change things a little.
right now I am at 18 hours and 40 min. on battery and I am at 85%

Yes automatic brightness, 1 min. screen timeout, my battery is in performance mode.
I am also not overclocked. I have ALL of e-mail checks, and calendar syncs always on and they check about every 5 min, even when on 3g/4g.
Now I will say that if you are in an area that switched between 3g and 4g a lot, that will KILL you battery fast. There is a customer that I go to often and when I am at their building my phone switches between 3g and 4g when I move from office to office, and go to the restroom, and my battery barely lasts all day.

same if you are somewhere with a poor wifi signal that keeps witching on and off

Here in the Florida Boonies we go from 4G to Edge and back over and over again all day...but still, I use my phone moderately heavily, am overclocked to 1200, with everything syncing over whatever data is available and with wifi turned on all day, and I usually only go down around 40% over an 8-9 hour period. Compared to my last phone (Samsung Focus, which had decent battery life elsewhere) that's amazing. I literally had to plug that one in at my desk to make it to lunch down here.
As a matter of fact, while I've been typing this message, I've gone from 4G to Edge, and now it's back on 4G. Crazy system down here.
I've mentioned before that I run a hotel...well the other day, we had an AT&T engineer check in, and I asked her about it. She pulled out her Blackberry and said "I have 5 bars. Get a Blackberry." She wasn't thrilled when I told her that my backup is a Bold 9700, and I have the same problems on it. She said she'd look into it, though, so maybe there's hope.

Seeing how this thread has kinda evolved into a battery/connection topic; do you guys enable background data? I do and I get about 10-12 hours of hard use. I'm listening to music, on these boards, browsing the web, making a few calls, texting etc.
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2

Oh yeah. I literally live where I work, so I have all of my data turned on...I'm never far from a charger. Like I said, I get through the entire day without charging. I call, text, and email constantly. I use it as a music player in my office. It takes voice memos. I take pictures constantly. I'm always reading boards or books in my downtime, etc. Pretty much everything I used to lug a laptop for, I use my phone for now.
I need a tablet. Waiting to hear about the specs for the Asus tablet that's rumored to be one of the upcoming Nexus devices, or their MeMo, assuming that they're different devices at all.

I reported this to moto a long time ago the select is not doing anything when you check the box.
I fixed mine by installing power widget and doing the toggle to stay awake with it then uninstalling it.
Worked like a champ

Terrible battery life... Suggestions?

Flashed CleanROM V and did a battery calibration running it down to 0% a couple times but getting terrible battery life still. I work in a concrete warehouse all day so the signal is pretty weak. Any suggestions and maximizing my battery?

Perhaps try turning off wifi if you've not got a signal & try kicking the phone back to 3g.

The screen on to awake ratios should roughly be similar but it looks different in this case, install BetterBatteryStats to check out wakelocks.
Also, your mobile signal appears to be very weak and dropping out.
PS. Wiping battery stats does nothing

Wow, you should be getting easily double that if not triple the usage.
First thing, if you are in a area where wifi is available, you can disable mobile data(3g/4g) completely. if not, then leave wifi turned off and use 3g, i dont use 4g lte unless im downloading something BIG.
Secondly, if you want to, you can close the apps via task switcher every few hrs, but not mandoatory.
Lastly, update your device to the latest version 2.20 or 2.40. I got easily 15-20% increase when i updated from 1.85 to 2.20.
Also you can leave your screen to auto brightness, which helps by itself, i used to change it myself but i realized auto is better since it changes it instantly depending on the situation.
Doing this gets my phone to average 30hrs standby with about 3hrs screen on time. Heck, few times when i used wifi mostly and data turned off majority of the time, i got 5+ hrs screen on time within about 24hrs usage.

That's what I'm saying! For such a great phone I should be able to use it more at least I'll look into disabling 4g. LTE just got turned on in my area and i'm soaking in the super fast speeds Probably not worth the sacrifice in battery if that's the case though.

WFS Battery drain when internet on, 5% a minute, the same on a new battery

Hi guys, I have a strange problem, may say I'm quite desperate about it, because I've been seeking for a solution, however with no result :/
I have HTC Wildfire S, it's about 13 months old, rooted 5 months ago. I did not install any custom roms or anything like that (it's still original 2.3.5). I rooted the phone only in order to get Link2SD.
Everything went smooth, I have been using my rooted WFS for about 4 months, however one day I fully charged it and disconnected about 10pm. Since then the phone was just lying on the table, 3G running (as always). GPS, bluetooth off, no new apps installed or anything to make battery life shorter. At 7am next day the battery was completely drained, so that the phone didn't even want to turn on.
Since then, everytime I turn the internet on, the battery drains like 5% every 4-7 minutes... When I additionally use Facebook or browse the Internet, it is up to 30% every 5 minutes:/
I bought a new battery, but it unfortunately didn't solve the issue, so I sent the phone back to the official service.
After one week i got it back, but they said that 'the issue didn't appear' (they've checked power consumption and battery).... That's obviously not true, because on the way back home from where I got the phone back (about 20 minutes ride) the battery level run down from 60% to about 35%....
I really have no idea what's going on, please help me, you're my last chance;p
Of course in the meantime I restored the factory settings, restored original rom, got rid of root etc., but with no result. Better battery stats showed that the difference between Awake and Screen on was normal, so the phone gets into deep sleep...
I may add that this battery drain percentage is not equal every time (sometimes it is 5% a minute, sometimes 15%). With the internet connection on the battery is being discharged in about 3-4 hours, however with it turned off it lasts normally (even up to 2-2,5 days).
Regards,
Karol

Battery life is like that. 3 n half hours is the average on most roms. 4.5 is highest I think.
Turn off all the settings u don't use/need to use. GPS, location service, pocket mode etc from sound, background data, from network always enabled mobile net, vibration on keyboard, UI so on.

It's not the topic like 'I just bought my first smartphone, I wonder why does it discharges faster than my nokia 3210". It is not my first smartphone, I know that 1-1,5 days is an absolute max for battery life, but in my case battery drain rastically arose during just a couple of hours...
With Internet on it always used to work for 1,5-2 days (with my use). My habits didn't change and now it lasts only 3-4 hours :/

It's really nothing out of the ordinary, if you keep 3G on at all times, you're not going to get more than 6-7 hours of scree-on time.
What you should verify is if it's heats constantly, because that'd mean you've got an app/process constantly running.

But for more than 8 months I've been using my phone exactly the same way and it was running at least the whole day with no effort... What should I check in Better Battery Stats? 3g was always turned on, however most of the time the phone was using EDGE/HSDPA, and so it is now.
Btw, Constant Connection (or how is it calldd in english) is turned off, as usual. Assuming that it really is the 3g issue, would turning 'gsm networks only' change something?

Don't compare Nokia's symbian with android. I never played Texas Holdem Poker of Facebook more than 4 hours, in any of the roms, with screen off its last longer about 10-12 I think, I tried keeping nimbuzz on. But I have to keep it charged closed to my laptop conditions I think, I have a extra stock battery.

I just wanted to say that I'm aware that smartphone battery is not able to keep to a couple of days... I really have no idea what's going on. I changed settings to GSM only and it seems that it helped a bit, but not much. At 2pm my phone's battery was 70% and now (11:30pm) it's still 30%. I will have to test this setting for a couple of days to see if it really helps...

Did u just put the phone on and that kind of battery drain happening? Then u need to change ROM.
If I put my phone on. Without keeping screen on, but mobile network on, it will last at least 1 day 24 hours I think. I am talking about keeping screen on playing/browsing. Screen on and internet uses most battery.

I use the original ROM, 2.3.5. When the issue appeared I have reflashed stock again, but it did nothing. I even got rid of root access, still the same. My phone was always working with internet on, and it lasted at least 24 hours. Now it lasts up to 2 days with the internet OFF, with on, it's only up to 6 hours, and if I additionally make use of internet connection (browse the web, send an email etc.), my phone lasts only up to 3-3,5 hours :/
I bought a new battery but it changed nothing...

Karolmd, a lot of people obviously didn't bother to read your original post and replied with rubbish answers.
I don't have an answer but at least I understand what you mean. Your battery life had changed drastically even though your usage is the same.
Does the problem occur when you move a few miles away from home, ie so you use a different mobile phone mast. Its possible your phone company has an issue in your area and the phone has to strain to keep a signal.
I've seen my phone struggle for a few days to get a 3g signal near my home when normally its fine and it was traced to a fault with the phone mast.
Does the issue happen if you switch off mobile internet and instead just use WiFi at home just to test this theory. This will show if something is perhaps connecting to the internet all the time or not. If battery is OK on WiFi I'd be inclined to place a call to the network operator. They can check the various masts in your area - it can take a while for them to acknowledge a problem though so you may need to keep pushing them.

Does the issue happen if you switch off both 2g and 3g and instead just use wifi at home just to test this theory.

Unfortunately the problem occurs everywhere:/ 60km's from my home, as well as 500 (I've checked last week). When I switch to GSM only, it seems that the battery lasts longer, but it's still not what it used to be...

Did any of your apps auto-update just before you noticed the drain ?

I don't really remember, but the problem occures even on a 'clean', newly flashed system....

Buy a new phone. Seems a internal problem, it drains really fast.

Ok, thanks guys for help... Seems I'm gonna start a war with the repair service... Regards!

Our phone battery is like that....U have to move on and don't expect battery life longer than 2 hrs when using internet over cellular network....I recommend using wifi over cellular network

Have you try BatteryCalibration from playstore ?

I did it and after that I also faced battery issues earlier it use to last longer.........
Remove all the widgets from homescreen(//Very Important//). I was able to see the results.
Download these 2 apps from market...
1.Battery+(Just to look of the battery graph)
2.GSam Battery monitor(This can tell u what really is consuming ur device battery)

*#*#4636#*#* in dialer. Choose phone information and set to gsm only. That should help battery life. Try it out. If that helps click thanks
Remember when you reach full charged unplug. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot.
Then turn off auto sync and auto brightness.

[Q] S6 Doesn't sleep?

I have always used Better Battery Stats to monitor battery life and wakelocks, etc, but without root it's stats are limited. It does show how much time the phone "sleeps", and so far my phone is "awake" 100% of the time. I initially enabled almost everything but am wondering if everyone is experiencing the same?

I'm having cell standby battery drain

Yep same. Phone refuses to sleep. Probably the cause of battery drain. Hoping they release some sort of update to fix that.

I'm sorry... I'm posting this from memory... But I think I saw somewhere that this is caused by the voice over Wi-Fi. In your phone settings turn off calls over Wi-Fi or something like that.

I had heard that as well in the main S6 forum but I don't see a wifi calling option on the vzw variant. Am I missing that or is it only present on the international version?

I think it's called VoLTE or something. I'm still waiting on my 128gb version so I can't check for you.

VoLTE is Verizon's HD voice. Don't know how that would cause cell standby issue. I'm having issue as well and it sucks.

Right, its not enabled by default either so I'd think that rules it out as a culprit.
Something is certainly going on though to have these high cell standby times. May require an update from the powers that be to fix this. Aside from disabling everything on the phone which isn't happening.

But if its a big that's prevalent in the tmobile version as well, it may very well be the same bug depending on how Verizon chopped the feature from the software.

Yeah it seems likely it's an issue that will be fixed across the board if it does get fixed. I'm hoping it happens in the first 14 days while I'm in trial, cuz otherwise I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not. Strange thing is some people seem way less affected though. And that's coming from a guy that typically has full or near full bars at both work and home so I'm certainly not in a fringe area by any means. Idk?

I have full bars all the time data disabled and I still get it

I had cell standby issues all weekend. Last night I turned off VoLTE ("Advanced Calling") on mine, and turned off cell data altogether while at home on Wifi. I was going to test it all day today like that, but this morning I thought, "No, this is dumb, if I can't use VoLTE the phone is worthless as I need simultaneous voice/data". So I turned it all back on, and Cell Standby isn't even on my battery life screen now. And it's had plenty of time to show up... Right now I'm at 50% battery life, 1.5 hours SOT, and 6 hours on battery total. My problem is Google Play Services is killing me - also a new problem since yesterday, and I have no idea what's behind it.

Cell standby is eating my lunch (and battery), too. 20% of my battery utilization, and my phone is running hot. The latter makes me think it's some app causing both the consumption and the heat, but darned if I know why.

It seems there are two things that might fix that - turning off wifi completely, and wiping cache (boot into recovery [vol-up + home + power]). Have you tried either of those yet?

No wifi isn't really an option, so I've wiped cache. I'll report back. Thanks!
Reporting back: no difference. This is a bug, as reported many places. Might be a deal-breaker for me, coupled with the prospect of no root. Might have to swap to the Motorola device.
