[Q] What is eating up my battery?

Ok so yesterday and today my battery has been atrocious. 5 hours on IDLE and it went from 100 to 55%. What the hell? Under battery usage it says android OS ~23%, clock ~18% and android system ~22% as the top 3.

Get the app betterbatterystats and see what was keeping your phone awake. It was most likely a deep sleep issue. I would also suggest cpu spy. Goodluck

as ckck says, this app will help you narrow down the problem as to which app it is. Its a paid app but a free dev version is available here on xda. CPUSpy as he also mentioned is an app to check whether or not your phone is going into deep sleep. If it's not, an app is definately keeping it awake, which is your problem.

If you're running the ICS leak go to Settings->Sound and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound". I did this and it tripled my battery life.

I use 2xbattery app with email push set to 30 minutes. It is a great battery saving. See proof.

I preffer Juicy Defender Ultimate, it does things for you with out much settings, like email push it just pings and sync on it's own, major thing it turn data off, and I found data is one of the biggest battery users

2x battery does the same. I tried to post screenshot on my last post but Somehow xda app will only update jpeg and my leaked ics stores them as png.

Could it be you have latitude turned on? This used loads of battery on the phone I just had

I solved it by discharging the battery completely, then I did wipe battery stats and then i re-charged it. now after 6 hours its 94%

What's the typical battery time for the One S? I got mine a few days ago and it just seems like the battery drains away way too quickly than what I read on reviews. 14 minutes in and already at 83%? Yet all I did was use the 3G connection. But my screen consumption is 89% yet I have brightness at below half way, probably 40%. How is any of this possible?! I've got Google's Location service and Location and Google search options turned on, could this be it?
I haven't had the opportunity to go at it for the full day, so that's what I'm gonna do today and see how it goes.

Take a look at this (which will grow over time):

[Q]

I am looking for an app to monitor battery life.
I'd like one that will show which processes are running by percent as well as average battery drain per hour. Anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Battery levels really jumpy

Hello, ever since flashing cm 10.2 on my phone, I've noticed that my battery was being drained extensively by Google services. A full wipe and re-flash later, it was fixed. Well, during those two flashes, my battery level has been erotic.
I can go 4 hours with normal drainage and then the phone casually reboots, and then says I have 9% or so remaining. It will "charge" itself to 13%, reboot again, and it the battery will report that it has around 20% or so, and drain normally.
The battery life has diminished a bit, but that could be because of age, and it barely lasts me 8 hours.
Does anyone know of any solution other than buying a new battery? Recalibrated has helped, but not by much.
As always, any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
magnetboard

in around a few crashes and drain wipe, the battery report can be way off
after a few cycles, it should normalize
if your drain persists, look to wifi drain, cpu regulators, wakelocks or rogue apps updates causing drains

Thanks, right now I have better battery stats to analyze wakelocks and apps and then I have greenify and system tuner to freeze Google services and apps. Hopefully this minimizes drain.

On beanstalk 4.3, mine was not juicy at all.
Reverting to 4.2.2 made mine erotic as well.

Who knew a misspelling could be so much fun? I meant to say erratic... Sorry

Settings / battery. THe page before the graph you posted - which apps are listed there, and what are the %? (That said, you use the phone a lot - there is a lot of screen on/ awake time on your graph. Turn the screen brightness down maybe?)

I am also getting the issue. I'm on 6-7, 24.3.7, rooted, and if I use it intensely it will go down to 14% before 3:30 PM. I'm surprised, as the issue never happened when I got the phone new.

If your screen is 42%, you're just using it a lot. The Mini has a small battery. Maybe you can try setting brightness down, but it looks like this is drain because you use it rather than a runaway app or process.
That said, Google Play services and Google services have been running high on my usage list lately. There's not much you can do about that, except maybe turn off background sync, which sort of negates the reason I bought a smartphone in the first place.

Battery Doctor
Guys, I have been using Battery Doctor for few days, I have noticed positive effect on battery life. Maybe someone is interested to try..
