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.

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.

I think it should work
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
I have an office job that does not provide me with wifi. So when I'm on my phone at work I generally stick to 3G. I got frustrated with my poor battery performance using stock + root greenify. So, yesterday I changed to Elementalx 1.0. I was running 4.4.3 yesterday and was surprised that the results using the new kernel weren't much better. I then decided to compare using 4.4.4. This showed about a 30 minute increase in SOT but obviously my usage wouldn't be exactly the same as it was yesterday.
Android 4.4.3, ElementalX 1.0, and Greenify (root)

Android 4.4.4, ElementalX 1.0, (no Greenify)
So in summary, the first scenario gave me 3 hr 9 m of screen time. The second gave me 3 hr 44 m.
Other things to note, I run location tracking set to battery saving mode. I also do not disable wifi poling. Both of those are going to ding my battery life but I would imagine that the lack of wifi and relying on mobile data is what's really killing me. Any advice guys?

If you turn location off and disable the WiFi polling, you'll get better battery life. Also your signal is weak at the beginning of those screenshots and that'll drop your battery life quite a bit.

Are you aware of any apps / xposed modules to handle turning off wifi polling, or is this something that people do manually?
your battery life is fairly normal. there are ways to improve it, but it wont be a huge improvement. anyways, with what i see from your signal, and with a little tweaking, between 4-.4.5h should be your norm. what brightness do you keep it at? the percent will make a significant impact in battery life. i keep mine around 20-25% usually.
anyways, kernels dont really play much of a role in battery life, despite what many say. battery life is mostly determined by how you personally use your phone, how you set it up, whichbapps you use, and the quality of data/phone connection that you receive. everything else plays a very minor role in battery life.

go to the phones main settings, wifi, press the 3 dots on bottom right, advanced, niw disable scanning always available. that should help a little with battery as well.
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)

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.
I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on
