Hello,
I got my (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S3 two days ago, and rooted and flashed it with the CM 10 Nightly builds after a couple of hours of using touchwiz. Everyone has been saying that they are getting more out of their battery with CM 10, but my experience hasn't been too good. I am getting maybe 9 hours of battery with normal use. When I got the phone I run it down to 10%, turned it off and then charged it back to 100%.
I have turned off 4gb (as I don;t have no real 4g signal around me), have the display on the lowest setting and have even under clocked it to 1.2ghz and it's still draining fast.
I have been reading through some forum threads and there are people with the same issue as me, some say they think it’s a faulty battery so they ordered a new battery but never post back there results.
Others say that doing a reset of the phone/reflashing CM 10 does the trick.
I have also experience my phone getting warm to the touch when just checking facebook or web browsing. My phone core seems to be running at 90-95 Fahrenheit when it feels warm and have never seen it go above 100.
I’m open to resetting my phone, but as I have just set up everything, I would rather not to.
I know this is a lot of information, but any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

a few things.
if youre running a launcher some allow you to backup your homescreen settings, even the free versions
i have never gotten that bad of battery life out of a CM10 rom. Your screen on time is a more reliable idicator of your battery health than hours of use. the hours of use statistic is easy to manipulate
run better battery stats to find any wakelocks you may have to see whats eating your battery.
Re
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure it's an app that's causing this, as I didn't install anything on the phone once I rooted it for a couple of hours and it was still draining fast.
I have gotten the betterbatterystats app and will post what I find out.
I am also not getting the best battery life. I am on paranoidroid 2.52. I had the phone fully charged, screen on watching a video in skyfire. I did not make 3 hours. Is this what others are getting?
Battery issue
You probably all know this already but the screen brightness level also effects the battery a lot. I set mine to auto.
I'm wondering if you flashed your radio and rpm to the latest leaked jb
Hi ,
My name is Nitin and i recently bought OnePlus One from US. From past 3 days I am facing very strange issue. My battery percentage will be around 28% and sudden within a flash of second the mobile will be off. It was not happening before. Dont know after the latest update it is happening. I somewhere read that it is due to double tab screen. Hence i disabled it but no use. Today is the 3rd time I have observed this.I am running on 44s(Latest Update) Please let me know what should I do?
Please Review [APP][2.1+][05 Jul. - V1.16] BetterBatteryStats
Especially the 3rd Post. That app will help you pin point causes of Battery drain.
Also post in Q&A] Help thread. Ask away! (Noob friendly) in case other users of this device have observed similar issue, or if you have defective unit.
my nexus 7 2012 wifi (nakasi) is having serious battery drain problem now (at first it was not having any problem but recently its having this problem). The battery drains from 100% to 0% in 1 hour ( i have a rooted one with GREENIFY for hibernation of all apps). then after i turn it on after the heat have gone from the nexus, it will have some 90% charge left in it. Irritated with this problem, someone please help me. I was using kitkat 4.4.4, but due to this problem i have downgraded to 4.2.2, but the battery drain problem persists!
Please Review [APP][2.1+][21 Dec. - V2.0RC4] BetterBatteryStats
Please install that App and take a text Log following the instructions in that thread. Make sure to take an Idle log. An Idle log is one where you reboot, then make sure the BetterBatteryStats app is working fine, and then leave the tablet alone for at leat 5 hours.
you may post such a log in that thread for the experts to review and provide suggestion on your problem.
First of all, hello to everyone on the team of XDA Assist and thank you for having this great forum. Okay, now to the big deal, so this issue starts since the first day I changed to Lollipop through the CM 12 Nightlies, the main problem is that my battery drains a lot in idle (like 20% in 4 hours while on 3G mode and 2-3% per hour on WiFi) and also, my battery gauge is wrong (e.g: I use my phone and it stays at 60% then it suddenly drops at 57%) and I dont know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue, here is a list of the things I have tried:
Wiping Cache/Dalvik/Factory reset/Data
Calibrating the battery with a "calibration" app on the PS
Changing the ROM, I have tried CM12, 12.1 and Im actually running BlissPop 5.1 (Same problem on all of the 3 ROMS)
Letting the battery fully discharge and charge from 0% (When I connect my phone to the wall charger while the phone is off, it will turn on by itself)
And I dont know what to do anymore, seriously this is getting me crazy and yes, I already posted on the Moto G subforum but no one answered... so I guess they dont know how to fix my issue? However, I know this is not a helpdesk so I would like to know what else can I do or where other subforum can I go to fix my problem already.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best I can tell you is to post in your device's forum. They are the experts on your device. But I'd go back to stock and see if you still have the same battery issues. If you don't then it's an issue with the Rom you flashed.
Thread closed.
Hello,
The battery life of my Honor 6X used to last around +48hours with more than 5h screen on time, and consumes between 3-5% overnight.
However, recently the battery is not doing so well even though there is no heavy usage (on screen time around 1h30), overnight the phone consumes between 12-20% with WiFi and Data off...
Is there anything I can do to identify the issue? anyone else having the same issues?
Model number BLN-L21
Build BLN-L21C432B367
Android 7
Hi, this should be in Q&A section so ask a mod to move the thread when you'll have time.
Battery is a strong point of this phone, and reading what you wrote perfectly matches with my actual phone stats (i refer to 48h lasting, 5h SoT...) so i'll begin to ask ya some things to help you identify the issue, since that this strange and sudden change from a moment to another looks bizarre:
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update?
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using?
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way)
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not?
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...)
I know where you are coming from, I have had the same issue after the EMUI 5 update, I have to reset all settings in back up and reset options to get to the 2 day standby time every 2 weeks

I've the BLN-L21C185 as well, apparently there's a bug in the firmware which Huawei hasnt fixed yet and no one on the forum knows how to fix the issue so you are on your own

Hey RedSkull23, MTjake
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update? No
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using? Yes, I didn't make any changes to the list since the problem occurred
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way) While charging, I only use the phone to check notifications, I don't really use it
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not? Yes, I let it reach 100% and I don't keep it charging overnight, I did notice that once it reach 95% it takes much longer to reach 100%
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...) Not really

Oh damn, but the thing is, after the EMUI 5 update the standby lasted 2 day without changing anything, but my phone had 2 security updates since the EMUI 5, the first one might caused the problem, not sure though
Like for me it's like I reset the phone use it for 7 8 days the battery life is phenomenal, I use my phone for media consumption (watching videos, YouTube, iflix and stuff) and I get a good 11 hours of screen on time with 25 per cent battery remaining, then I don't know what happens and the stand by time drops to 13 hours screen on time goes down to 3 or 4 hours, then it's back to resetting the settings and it's good for a few days vice versa and this happened after the EMUI 5 update, the performance is also choppy on this version, don't know what to do have tried everything on battery optimization here but no use :/
The chances that it could be a bug increases after your answer; why don't you ask directly to Huawei/Honor if they're aware of this?
I tried but the Huawei officials in Pakistan have the same response to whatever you ask them :we are working on the updates stay tuned -_-

Other regions get bug fixes all the time and the only thing I've gotten is security updates :/

Doesn't work , have tried all of the stuff in the post
I am having the same issue. Battery life was very good but in last couple of weeks has gone to 3-4 hours without any great use.
Hi guys, sorry to post here after all this time, I had kind of the same problem lately but worst.
My battery wouldn't last more than half a day, with almost no screen on time ... I check battery stats, everything, doesn't look like something has changed except WiFi seems to be on all the time, when in fact it is disabled. I used to have intelligent WiFi on, but even when it's off, looks like my phone is searching for WiFi all day long.
I have done nothing, not installed a new app, no change on optimization, no nothing.
Also no root, never unlocked bootloader. Did you fix your problem and how ?
I'm in the same boat with you.
