Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.

It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!

Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%

Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.

Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!

Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.

Battery getting destroyed lately... ideas?

Starting last night, my battery is getting destroyed when the phone is not in use. I haven't installed anything new, apps included. Running Cleanrom 4.5 DE.

Nothing coming up on BBS. That drop was when I was sleeping. Looks like a 25% drop in the span of minutes. Same thing happened today. Went from fully charged to 90% to 59% in an hour or so of no use. And from the looks of battery usage, it was pretty much just Wifi, Network and screen. Nothing else.
Not sure what is going on really.

something is holding a wakelock during that time, at least that's what I gathered from the picture.

Oddly, the highest wakelock was 5minutes. Didn't have any severe wakelocks. Not sure what exactly would cause a 25-30% drop.

Whole thread on this that I have been apart of. The OP actually has two issues but his second one if this issue and the one that is mostly covered in the thread. Only happens at night. Can't figure out what is causing it. I let AT&T know but they haven't gotten back to me. HTC tried to blame it on facebook. Seems like a handful of people are noticing it. Most wouldn't because they charge their phone at night.

Went through the thread, seems similar but less extreme drop for me. I'm in Queens, NY.
Today my phone is fine... And Friday I had close to 24 hours on battery with around 3 hours screen time and 35% left.
The drop last night was from using the phone, not idle.

[Q] Phone got up to 48 °C while charging, and other battery issues

Kinda worried this will happen again. It has never happened before. Looking at my charging stats, it was on full charge for about 5 hours. It was charging abnormally hot, like at 38 to 40.
Should I be worried? Is there a fix?
Also, I would like to mention that after flashing back to stock and OTA-ing to 4.0.4, my battery life has been piss poor, doing the same stuff as I did before. It barely holds its charge throughout the day, even if I did half as much before I reverted to stock. Is this normal, or should I run a battery calibration tool?
Thanks!

Take a look at the battery guide I wrote up in the stickies from the General Section, the third post has a charging trick also that might help if you're getting battery reporting errors. Have you wiped battery stats after flashing? Also, I'm on the 1st leak ICS (or was, now on CM10), and my battery life is great...

It definitely looks miscalibrated, after looking at your post. I didn't wipe my battery profile after flashing, so that's probably the reason.
I don't have CWM, but the battery calibration app seems like it wipes the file, as long as their Market description is accurate. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration)
Should this still work?

Yes, a battery calibration app from Google Play will work just fine for wiping battery stats...

Battery life: CM13 vs Stock Rom

Hello,
I would like to know if battery life is better with CM13 nightly or with stock rom MM? I'm not sure but it seems to be better with stock rom MM.
Someone has made any test about this?
Thanks.

My battery from today. Some browsing, forum jumping, light gaming, reading ebooks, a few texts. This is pure stock, unrooted MM 6.0.

I thought it could be better with stock

On cm13, By the end of a 17-18 hour day I am usually about 50-40% remaining... Very moderate use though... Emails, texts, a few calls and browsing news and Facebook... Very few games. I have not had stock mm, but cm13 and others give me plenty of life through the day.

Hossman do you have a screenshot of your battery stats that shows screen on time?

Meh... I have gotten 9hr 20min screen time over 19 hours with 50/50 mobile data usage, mixed usage, on stock MM 6.0. Nothing special, everything enabled and syncing, including using BT headset and location services fully enabled.
Not sure how CM does, but in most Moto's it isn't as well as stock due to very tight optimizations done by Moto, for most people battery life is reduced by as much as 25%, but some people get near stock battery life but I am not really sure how.
Note that average per complete charge numbers are a bit low because I am often at at least 50% when it goes on the charger at night.

Question Battery Life

I am interested in this battery performance? What SOT are you getting? What do you get for battery time the medium power saver mode?
Any screen shots are appreciated.

It's on Friday and I feel like the first 48 hours it was draining pretty quick. I upgraded from the OnePlus 6t and I certainly feel the slower charge.
Waiting for it to fully discharge and then I'm going to give it a full charge and then I will post my battery stats after seeing how long it lasts.

Full charge before bed last night .. and I drove around a bit today with it plugged in for about 30 minutes. Going to bed now at around 50%. Not going to charge until tomorrow.

I am still trying to figure out if I have a battery drain issue. I am getting the same usage as what I did as my A70. After full charge it says it will last around 22 hours. Usage is the same as with my A70, not sure if that is right.

Standby uses about 1% for every two hours for me with Always On Display. That is always my benchmark even for my last Samsung. There's something using battery wildly if it goes too high after some many hours or even within one hour.
A hint there, try rebooting 3 times in an hour or so. My last Samsung had an issue where normally one reboot would fix the battery drain but it would every now and then require two more to fix the drain.
The battery use stats might help you narrow down to something but if not then you have to factory reset or disable or remove stuff. If its with the rom then it gets more difficult.
If you are seeing the 1% standby for even an hour or two then it should be fine there and the drain is only while the screen is on.
You might also be able to spot certain things the the logcat.

Thank you for your reply. I will try to reboot it. I have done a factory reset but it hasn't helped. I will test it for a few days.

I have 9hours Screen On Time on a pixel experience rom.
AOSP does wonders to this device.

You never know. Funny how much reboots fix things that shouldn't need fixing in the first place
