[Q] Asus Fonepad Note 6 Cell Standby battery drain - General Questions and Answers

I am having an usually high cell standby battery drain, around 60-80%:

But the weird thing is, that the battery is acting relatively normal, i.e. it can easily last through a day of intensive use, being discharged for about ~10% / hour (thats with bluetooth / gps on, constant email checking, occasional browsing, taking pictures etc). So, I am confused, as this cell standby maybe simply gives the wrong reading but it's still unclear, how much does it really consume. Does anyone know, how to fix it, maybe, or should I simply wait for a new firmware? I am on V10.16.1.37.2 (stock, not rooted) and, btw, I noticed, that cell standby acted normal on the very first version of firmware.
Another problem I have is that it eats about 1% a hour in standby mode (wifi off, bluetooth off, sync off, nothing weird running in background, 3g on), which is like four times less than advertised 490 h
Asus tech support is utterly useless, if the answer is not in the user manual, then they simply tell you to file a request for RMA, which I don't want to do for obvious reasons.

Same problem here!

Hi! I also have the same problem. I tried using other battery monitor apps. The best one I found (just today) is Battery Doctor.
After installing Battery Doctor, what I did was drain my battery down to 5% then charged it up to 95%. As of now, the Battery Doctor detects "operating system" as my top drainer. I don't know if it is safe to assume that what it detects is the "screen dispay" but base on my previous fonepad 7, the percentage of the screen display is somewhat near to the "operating system" that the battery doctor detects.
And since there wasn't any "screen display" on the battery doctor, it made me assume that it is the screen display.
I must warn you though, battery doctor has a Task killer. I know that Task killers can cause some apps to misbehave, I suggest that refrain from using the Task killer and Battery Saver of Battery Doctor if you're going to try this app.
There is also a "Unique 3steps Charging" in Battery Doctor that COULD do a quick charge...although it didn't work for me quite well today, I might try that feature again and see if it really works on Fonepad note 6.
I hope you also give it a try and give some feedback.
Good luck

Huawei G510 insane battery usage

Hello,
I am usin Huawei Ascend G510 for 5 days now. And I notify that battery usage for this phone is insane. Whili it is in waiting mode then battery laife is very good, during night loss of few % of battery.
Please see in image 2 huge drops around 14:00 and around 18:30.
At ~14:00 I drove and used waze for ~8 mins and battery dropped for 25%. Is this how it should be???
At ~18:30 I played game (not 3d, small game while waiting) and checked whatsapp messages and rss nes read. It is againe ~10 mins and loss of ~25% of battery.
The rest of time between 14 and 18 is working hours and emails incoming, rss feeds updating, calls incoming/ outgoing.
I think there is something wrong. Maybe Huawei has not that good optimized android version or some bugs draining battery while there is continuous usage.
Has anyone here ideas, or experience with the same phone?

This is a brand new battery and brand new phone. Dont think thats the problem, only in case if it is faulty already from factory.

I don't have your phone, but mine does that when the signal from the cell phone tower is weak or if I am using the GPS freatures You can test this by turning off the data connection and/or the GPS and seeing if either/both fixes your battery drain. If this is the case there are some tweaks you can try to make this less of a problem.
I noticed that my phone is most of time awake. And when check detailed battery consumption, then screen is only 5th, which should be somewhere in top. Why first 3 battery consumers are standby, idle and wifi? I don`t think this is normal. Even during nights my phone is awake. Installed some kind of wakelock app, and it shows that it is caused by exchange email.
Any ideas, what to do to find solution?
thanks
Get wakelock detektor from market. And then get greenify to kill your battery eaters.

[Q] Faulty battery readings - B5330

I'm experiencing some weird battery issues on my Samsung B5330 (Galaxy Chat). Since there is no GC forum and it's probably a software issue I'll wirte here.
The phone is full stock, no root nor any modifications were made, 4.1.2.
At the beginning of my adventure with this phone I experienced a problem with Media process eating the battery. That was probably caused by one of videos, faulty mp3 file or Gallery system application. Once or twice a day 46% of battery was eaten as shown in battery stats. However from time to time the phone just died and battery stats had just a blank space from the last reading The phone got hot because of CPU usage. As it also happened at night and affected an alarm clock and had to be dealt with.
I turned off Gallery, Media and Media history services (in App properities) and replaced them with independent applications. First problem was solved and the second one become clearly visible.
It looks like this:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There is nothing indicating extensive battery use:
The battery reading goes from 80% to 0% in 80 seconds and the phone dies. Nothing overheats, nothing hangs. After 1 - 2 days if 60% is shown and I restart it, it goes to 0% instantly.
It's either faulty battery or software bug :/
Any ideas what can I do with it apart from buying a new battery?
battery problem
This looks like a hardware problem (with the battery), my apenion is that it coudn't be a problem with some faulthy mp3, music or video player or so, it could be a problem with your background working apps / make sure you clear all of them and make sure you turn off all wify, 3g, edge and so in your phone settings, and see how much time it works then.
The com.android.media process as a source of the first problem is confirmed, as it is widely described on the net and it was noted in battery stats.
The problem is what is shown on the photo. I'll just buy a new battery since it's not expansive. I thought it may be a software problem as it looked like the indicator was not properly calibrated or refreshed.
The longest the phone was alive after solving the Media problem was over 3 days with everything on. It went down to 20% and then died.
This also suggests the battery...
OK, problem solved. Good ole' wipe did the trick.
The problem was purely of software origin as voltage of charged battery was marked as 100% but voltage of an empty battery was marked as 50%. So it reached 50% and died. After the wipe it goes down normally to 0%.

[Q] Android ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level?

As the title says, I'm looking for a ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level (No texting, phonebook, data), since the radio fried, and all it's doing is eating up battery.I like my phone enough to keep it, but I'd rather not replace the whole motherboard because of it. Any leads? Or am I better off just building one myself?

That's what I've always done tbqh. Enabling airplane mode has always given me a noticeable uptick in battery life, and when my Skyrocket was a skyPod, I could milk days out of the thing.

Even when the cellular was working fine, it had 2-3 days of battery the way I was using it. Now that it's gypped, I've been getting 10-12 hours. I'll first test around with airplane mode before doing anything too drastic to it.
Might also go the factory reset route, if i can get the Wifi Antenna working again.
That sounds more like a doomsday wakelock than a hardware problem. Have you checked those for vampires?

Yea, I ran GSAM Battery Monitor and it was giving me a 90% total battery usage being used by the cellular radio, 5% wifi usage, and 3% app usage, with 2% wakelock. I also ran the secondary tests, and I have no wakelock isssues from my charger. When airplane mode's enabled, and wifi's on, I get 20% wifi, 40% screen, and 40% apps. Battery drain is now controlled at an estimated 2%/hour while off, and 5%/hour while being used, down from 8%/hour while off, and 12%/hour while being used. For me, usage means moderate use, with a lot of apps and photos.
That seems pretty normal. My Rocket gets about 1% per hour when idle, 5% per hour when in moderate use (apps, browsing), 8-10% per hour if I'm playing processor-intensive games, and I spent months fine-tuning it to kill any and all wakelocks I possibly could. You might have hit the limit there.

[Q] Is this normal battery life? (Wakelock data inside)

Hi
I wanted to see how much power my phone used over an night. I greenified all background apps, turned of data, sync, wifi and bluetooth. When it reached 100% I unplugged it. Over the night (7 hours and 46 minutes) it reached 94%.
Then I turned on data alone (with power saving on. So black/white screen) to surf the internet. After 15 minutes with screen on, it reached 90%.
Is this normal? Might just be my battery. It just annoys me as for example my friend have the new Iphone 6+ which have an 2915mAH battery and even after a few hours in school, his is still at 100% (after moderate use)

Thanks in advance
Its totally depend on how much RAM and the Processor is being used by ur phone..
More processes means more RAM and Processing requirements..
and of coarse, the battery..
older the battery, lesser the life..

Yeah I know that, which is why I posted the pictures.
Almost nothing is running, so why do it use so much power over an night? It's was even it power saving mode, which decrease max CPU.
its possible that ur ROM is using more battery...
U'hv posted the pics of the processes that are shown by ur android, but there are many other system processes that are not shown directly to a user..
Is ur phn is ROOTED?? if yes:
Check the system processes that are using more battery & terminate them to increase ur batt lyf..

Why don't you just turn off your phone?
Also, you can root it and underclock it when it's idle (which I don't recommend, unless it's already rooted, but be careful)
You can also put it in Airplane Mode.

General Please post your Accubattery stats for 7 series

I know that it could be a little early to do this, but it would be interesting to gather some info and then compare it after a week to check if adaptive battery really kicked in.
My unit is already delivered, but I'll be able to get it in my hands on Wednesday, but after that certainly I am going to post some data.

Not sure what numbers you're lookin' for, but here's part of mine just since yesterday when I rooted and reinstalled everything.
-- deleted --
Terribly disappointed so far...
It's definitely too early to be definitive but I don't have any complaints about my 7 Pro as it stands now. Screen off is high because I'm in a low signal area (the basement at my partner's place) and I actually think it's less than my OnePlus 9 was in the same location.

Are you on data or wifi for most of this usage? Do you have everything turn on like AOD, 5g...?
I don't use Accubattery, don't like the UI. Here are mine from yesterday in GSam, which have been pretty typical in my first week of owning the phone.
Here's my 7 pro, i was like 90% on wifi.
Mostly browsing reddit, some camera use and maybe 30mins of gaming.
Adaptative battery charging is weird, but does the job (it's working even you disable it in settings). Charging limit -> 75%. Current estimate is 97% based on 21% charged. Current battery wear since arrived =0.93 cycles => 353% charged summary.
For comparison my op nord (1) based on 27months of monitoring battery wear. (Charged_limit = 80% since 1st day)
ps. satisfacted with this upgrade af - p7p brick.. i have waited for you so long till now \_(^^)_/

I can't seem to get GSAM to work after doing the ADB command to get more stats. How did you get yours to work?
Starting third day with P7 Pro, numbers are going up.
Idle drain better than on P6, screen on worse, on P6 had 7-8% drain per hour on Wi-Fi, but P7P is draining 10-12% with same brightness.

I just installed it normally, didn't touch adb.
After 8 days, mostly Wi-Fi, 120hz, 1440p, adaptive brightness, GPS, bluetooth 24/7 with GW4:

			
				
posting these without the settings people have is pretty useless btw.
My accubattery says I should expect 8 1/2 hours of SoT but I'm getting less than 4 today with normal usage 95% on wifi. Doesn't seem to mean much. 1440p, 120hz, auto brightness on.
95% WiFi usage
1080p
Smooth Display off (60hz)
Auto brightness on

			
				
I'm heavy phone user, much tasks and apps.
