Why such poor battery life...?

Now a days I am experiencing such poor battery life. I am not able to track the exact reason of it.
This is my configuration
1. Stock XXKPQ with tarunagg's ICS rom. Latest BCK kernel with 1ghz max & 300 min freq.
2. Screen off profile in set cpu with max 300 mhz & max 300 mhz for better battery life.
3. smartassv2 & sio
4. Freezed most off the unwanted stock bloatware like maps, layer & many more.
5. Purposefully I kept autusync off for batter battery life.
6. I use 2g net alot for surfing & downloading whole day.
7. Not using any scripts or tweaks.
8. Brightness is kept at lowest level.
9. Phone can easily enter into deep sleep mode.
I am posting screenshots of battery life. From screenshot you can see that my screen is awake more than 4 hours & it consumes more than 60%. I already mentioned that my screen brightness is lowest then why my phone sonsumes such a huge battery...? Now my phone is 1.2 year old.

My testing showed that this actually consumes more power. But anyway, the screen-off state is not your problem.

That actually consumes a lot of battery. If you're surfing, use 3G or even better WiFi. Per unit of transferred data, WiFi consumes the least power. Turn it off after surfing.

You are using a custom ROM. I would bet that there a re lots of tweaks included as is. Maybe this is one more problem, maybe not.

And there you have your main reason for a short battery life. The screen is the biggest consumer in any modern touchscreen phone and there is nothing you can do about that.

10 hours off charge with 4 hours display time? I'm jealous.

I think you are right. 2g consumes alot of battery than 3g & wifi. But in india 3g is like very much costly. So for net purpose I have to use 2g.
I am using stock xxkpq rom & not any custom rom.

Leaving my phone on wifi the whole day+at least 5 hrs of usage gives me about 10hrs battery life at least

Actually I should not compare like this (because comparison is of different OS which are at different level) but my friend have nokia n8 phone with more brightness than our phone. Also its daily phone usage is nearly like me. But it has superb battery life of nearly 26 hours easily.
Androis is great OS but cursed with huge battery drain. Developers of google have to do something about this. Dont u think so guys...?

Its true that symbian phones get good battery life.. i have a C7..
its just that symbian phone aint resourse hungry, n c7(or n8) has oly 678mhz processor.. display smaller n its AMOLED.., n also t os doesn handle much activities lyk an android..
hence the battery consumption s less..

That's not a fair comparison.
N8: 3,5" AMOLED, 640×360 px
I9003: 4" LCD, 800x480 px
And from your screenshot it's obviuos that the main problem is the screen, maybe you keep it too high.
And by the way your battery life it's not that bad, I get few more hours than you.

may be ur battery is becoming old and has been degraded!!
have u checked for it??

May be you are right. But I have observed my friend's galaxy ace with purely stock rom which has nearly same specs like nokia c7 or n8. It has same ram, processor, screen size etc. But is has worst battery life. Android OS can handle lots of resources but like my friends tease me that whats the use of such OS if someone cant use his android phone more than just 10 hours???

Firstly switch to wifi whenever at home.. It'll highly reduce battery consumption.. Also always use oly 2g mode.. Cuz searching for 3g signal consumes more battery..

Well, it's always AMOLED vs LCD, but probably Symbian is better in this, but it's less powerful than Android.

mmm, maybe this:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
and see your battery health.
Anyway I don't think there's an easy and reliable way to know if your battery is good or not.
I know, I always post this, but it's a good article IMO: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries (the graph itself shows you how much the battery capacity degrades)

[Q] Nexus 5 & Android 4.4.4....worth a try?

Hiya.
I'm trying to replace my Galaxy S4 LTE with another phone with stock Android but with better overall performance. My next choice is the Nexus 5. Had one late last year but because of an "immature" OS i sold it. Now, with Android 4.4.4 i'd like to try it again. But, heard of issues after the release of 4.4.4 like:
1. Battery life now worse (and unpredictable) than before
2. Wifi & network disconnections issue
3. Slow auto-focus when taking shot
4. Weak/tinny speakers sound (which might be down to hardware problems which i don't know)
5. Screen multitouch issues
Is this all true or only for a minority? And do we even know if Google is actually listening or is aware of some if not all of these reported problems?
Please advice. Thanks.

I have updated and have none of the issues you mentioned I love my nexus 5. Stock or custom ROM.
And if people report these issues to google they listen unlike some other OEMS

1. i see 5 hours screen on time every single day. battery life is about how you personally use a device, how you set it up, what apps you use, and very much your phone/data signal quality. its like that for any device, even an iphone. the way some people use it, and their signal quality, they will never see over 3 hours sot. the way others use it, they see closer to 6 hours sot. there is no such thing about having standards for how long your battery should last, as we all use our devices differently, and live in different areas with differing qualities of signals.
2. no issues here.
3. i love the nexus 5 camera!

4. ok, the speakers arent the loudest. there are some mods/apps that will help, but the speaker can be a little better.
5. thats the first time ive ever heard of such a thing, the nexus 5 does not have any touchscreen issues.
no matter what you buy, whatever device, there will always be a minority that complains. sometimes they complain about real issues, but many times the issues only in their heads.

Simms22...I don't know how you managed to take those photos but they look amazing. Any special settings you used? Where you using a stock Android 4.4.4 on the N5?
As i'm not into modding or rooting is there any app you can recommend in helping boost one'e Nexus 5 speakers? (I have heard some issues are caused by glue sticking out or spreading thru the speakers grill from inside which are fixed by sticking a needle into them. Is that even safe to do? Lol.)
Comparing the Nexus 5 with my current Galaxy S4 (with 4.4.2) albeit the 8MP camera and low-battery capacity the Nexus 5 do come out on top. The S4 has a higher (and longer) battery life but what i hate about the Samsung phone is the bloateware (i.e. Samsung's own apps) of which most of them apart from Galaxy apps i have disabled or turned of notifications).
I know discussing battery life is useless because its very subjective and depends on one's usage & circumstances. I usually use GSMArena and Versus in comparing two devices: specs, battery life, etc. What i would say is i work 8 hours a day. Most of the time i live and work in a "moderate to very good" 4G area which doesn't require wifi (which i think does drain battery albeit slowly). The only notifications i have is my Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, SMS messaging and Whatsapp. That's it. I make sure Sync, Location services (if its turned on it is set to Battery saving due to the nature of my work or the app i use), NFC, Wifi, Bluetooth and anything else is turned off. Anything i missed there?
Would a 2300mAh battery of the Nexus 5 be better than a 2600mAh of an S4? Surely the higher the number the better with everything turned off? Or would having a vanilla OS compensate for the low battery capacity and end up being better?
Does a battery-saving /RAM-optimising app help in improving the battery life (and performance) of the Nexus 5?
Please help.

While the speakers aren't good but software won't make them good battery life is bad on stock if you go to a custom ROM you get great battery life and most of Google's bugs are gone so yeah if you get one you might want to put a custom ROM on it

ive been taking and posting nexus images since the n1 first came out, day two. and daily, i post nexus photos on g+(thousands and thousands now, from all the different nexus)
theres a fine line when it comes to macros. if you cross that line, your photos start going out of focus. behind the line its easy to focus on, and right on that line youll take the best macros. find that line between in focus and too close(out of focus). also, i do not ever zoom. i take the shot in full, and crop it as i like it. if you zoom, you get no choice in how you want the overall image to appear. youll need proper lighting for macros, sunlight or flash, as typical room lighting isnt enough. oh, and when editing, do not over edit. if you edit it too much, it looks fake. if you want to edit, edit in small percentages. the n4 actually takes slightly closer macros, but the n5 macros look and feel more natural.
really, its just the difference between someone that has been using a manual camera, and setting all up manually, and someone that just points and clicks. im 43 now, been shooting photos since junior high school, always adjusting manually, and i used to develop my own film. but this is why i say the n5 has a great camera if you know how to use a camera, but as a point and click camera its not that great. but it will get better, google has added much new code to it and its app for when L comes officially, and after.

viper4android is great for sound, but needs root.and the nexus 5 real volume booster app for all other sound but music, but need a custom recovery to flash.
the n5 has code in it that makes it more efficient on battery, so the 2300 battery sizecis fine. oh, and battery saving apps use battery, stay away from them.

For anyone who have experienced it Is it true that the Nexus 5 speakers are actually better (slightly louder) than the Galaxy S4?
Talking about the multitasking tab (on the three capacitive buttons) with the Sony and Samsung Android handsets they have the option to "cancel all" tabs/windows that are running in the background. With the Nexus 5 you have to swipe them one by one. Is there an app to add that same functionality as Sony or Samsung to cancel all tabs & windows?

Going back to the speakers is it safe to use a sharp object like a needle to "poke" thru the speaker grills to remove any excess glue that are present in the production as i heard that might be the cause of the slightly tinny/muffled speakers sound?

@OP asking whether or not to buy a device is always problematic. All you'll get are opinions, but in such cases the only opinion that matters is your own

[Question]2 cores are working only?

Guys can you check in your phone how many cores are working at a time? I see only two cores working at a time and i think they are the slower ones
Any impact coz of this?

Firmware ver.? Single sim or dual SIM?

Ive noticed this aswell on 7.0, and my antutu score went down from around 139000 on 6.0 to around 127000 on 7.0. I would say its a huge performance loss. But real life performance i havent noticed any difference, but not in batterlife either so id rather have my cores back.

me too, since i switched back to stock build 39.2.A.0.327 benchmarck highest score i could get is 130355 and battery seems worse too, i used to have like more than 138000 and very decent battery life with Frago's Nougat Rom, so i've flashed it back on... no rooted stock build for me anymore i guess...

Same issue here, I tested with CPU-Z and CPU-X and is the same result, only 2 cores working.
Firmware: .327 (Nougat)
Region: Malaysia
Model: F8332
So, I think that is a bug of the reads, beacuse if you perform a Benchmark, the results are the same that when you use Marshmallow (with 4 cores).

Might be possible... I hope this is the case

No, i tested with benchmark software, it is 40% lesser mark compare the 6.0
I feel lag after updated to nougat.
And my old z3 is faster than XZ now.
Used to have at least 120k marks.

i'm on 7.0 nougat and on antutu i did 144.000. It's good? which is the best score for the xz?

7.0 39.2.A.0.361 Orange MCV FR/ES/PL/SK/RO
I was suprised to hear that so i've been testing my device with antutu, usually core 2 and 3 ( max 2150mhz) are off, but i think it's probably due to nougat update, once i saw them all working for a sec.
My scores are between 147k and 115k.
First highest score with rather cool device, room temperature 24C, WIFI, BT, internet connection, NFC, Auto rotation: OFF, screen brightness on- set to minimum.
After few tests device got hotter and scores dropped to about 125k. Then i tried to push it to the limit, all ON, screen brightness auto-set to max. Score dropped to 115k.
So throttling is there definitively. Score around 130k can show how device will behave in normal use and it is fast as it should be. In case of my device, battery life has improved but it might be placebo effect

After update to latest nougat, the another 2cpu is back, but only for some minutes.

I just updated the cpu-z, and it is showing all 4 cores working, at 2.15ghz can't make a screen shot because it is moving quickly to 1.5 or it stops.
Edit: forgot too say that I'm using stock rom, 7.0........ 39.2.A.0.374.

Checked and sadly I got the same problem :'(. Hope they fix it soon.

Um... So what kind of CPU load are you putting on your phone in order to make all 4 cores to work simultaneously? In other words, why are you expecting to see all 4 cores active in CPU-Z in the first place?
If your phone has nothing serious to do at the time, then even 2 cores being active is too much. You should see only 1.

I tried play high end game - HIT and switched to see, CPUZ still showed only 2 cores are active.
While after 30 mins-45 mins of playing, it became laggy and not responding until I restart that game.

The problem is the SOC is inefficient because of Samsung fabs poor 4nm manufacturing node (both Exynos and Snapdragon were manufactured on this node). Nothing will help, it'll take the S23u with TSMC manufacturing the new SOCs to get good battery life.

If you're not satisfied with S22Ultra you won't be satisfied either with Xiaomi or any other brand, ESPECIALLY Xiaomi and their garbage OS.
Your usage seems pretty normal and the fact that you have DUAL sims and play games, your battery looks fine. NONE phone will provide drastically more power with this kind of usage.

Its 1 sim . Plus i used to use my s22 ultra with only one i got the new sim last month or so

I also feel like the battery it's the biggest problem of this phone . Everything else it's good for me , except for some hy temperature sometimes with it's random but mostly when it's hot outside.

Watch this, it explains why. The TSMC SOCs in the s23 series should fix it but the s22 series is not good for efficiency .https://youtu.be/s0ukXDnWlTY

Thank you. Now I know the problem. But also I still don't really understand why it's taking so much battery while it's in stad by ... like the cpu should not be in use then right? I love this phone but this battery it's just awful... anyway thank you for the video. It was useful

To my shock today i dont know how but just happened...... plus i never have temperature issue

Next time go Poco No use in overpaying for performance when it's not backed up by a good battery. Also... Samsung, with their well known battery issues. No, thank you. Take that advice as you wish.

Tomo123 , I don't even belive what I see there I think maybe you can make this when you let your phone at home and not using it

I have always goof battery with the Samsung phones at the beginning like 2 -3 mounts it last like 5-6 hours of screen on time and like 20 hours of stand by , but after this period it's just too awful maximum 3-4 hours with maximum 6-8 hours of stand by I think that it's not even making it 20 hours only with stand by but I don't know why exactly it's this happening

My dear man, I really don't care if you believe it or not. It just goes to show you have no idea on how to properly optimize the phone you are using. But I am not here to spoon-feed you, learn it yourself... or live in ignorance. Your choice. Have a nice day.

The problem is the kernel not the cpu fab. A quick simple watch of the cpu frequency behavior shows this with ZERO hot plugging and to high idle frequency. I'm not talking how the old hotplug governor was. I'm talking when you turn the screen off the cpus don't hotplug and don't go under 600mhz 4 core. Very very bad for better life and simply fixing this will make the phone last loads longer for standby and adding hotpluging with lower 200mhz idle till screen touch then ramp to 600mhz will add loads of screen on time. I'm not surprised this is forgotten in a world of root is bad but back in the evo3D days you could pm power=0 and get 30 days on a hotplug governor. It's there, we just need custom kernel or Samsung (very unlikely) to fix said issues

In the S22 series, while Snapdragon variant doesn't have great batterylife, the Exynos variant is even worse.
And to improve the endurance, there are 100's of threads that will help to give you some relief. That's all.

Question Heating issues fixed after Jan update?

For the 7 pro? I have the US unlocked varient and it doesn't seem as warm as it once did. Jan update may have fixed it.

What build number is the Jan update?

My AT&T Pixel 7 Pro (not sure if it's unlocked) was updated yesterday (Jan 3). It currently has build number TQ1A.230105.002, with Android security update January 5, 2023.

Thanks, was asking because I didn't get it, but then I realized I'm on the beta channel

My 7 Pro has never had a heating issue.

It's just YOUR usage pattern and the apps you use. I'm getting double that, and many people much more than you.
Nothing is really broken with the "battery", it's just your own usage pattern.

That's not entirely true. "Not supported" countries get LTE/4G battery drain, no 4G for call, even blocked 5G by google, blocked baseband frequencies based on location. Even people from supported "offcial" locations reported lack of 4g/5g while traveling to another country. Maybe the battery itself isn't a problem, but basic optimization and menagement is. My patterns did not change, nor did the apps while switching from a 5000mAh medium range phone to google flagship. Hell, I even gamed more on my previous Poco. Now I can't nt get 10h standby and messenger mixed use while at work, cause the battery drains to 5%. Nothing like that happens over Wifi or 3g (can still use messenger on 3g), the usage time goes up like 3 times. Measured. So don't tell us there isn't a problem.
And if you wanted values, some battery meters showed as much as 1400 mAh peak drain while watching a youtube video at work on 4g (i have 5g blocked by google), just scrolling through Instagram gave me 890-1100mAh drain while heating my phone, where this value drops to 400-500mAh drain doing the same on Wifi. Idle messenger is like 320 mAh drain over Wifi, at least 900 over LTE. This seems good to you?

Oh my...
You're one of those that think switching from a mid-range phone to a "high-end" one will suddenly provide them a better battery life.
You do realize that mid-range phones have "much" weaker SOC that consumes less power overall?
Very often the same case is with the display too, lower resolution display, and lower display brightness than flagship screens (very often even lower refresh rate display), and there is a bunch of other things that make a mid-range phone superior when it comes to battery life.
The fact that you even expected a better battery life by switching to a device that has a SOC that EATS power unlike a SOC in a mid-range explains everything.

And you would be exactly correct, weren't the fact that the battery drain and heating stops, once the phone switches to wifi performing the same tasks. I gave you the numbers, but you seem to not read them with understanding. Are you telling me that LTE overheating the phone and max 10 hours of mixed use on a charge doing messenger and instagram is equivalent to 20 hours of the same on Wifi? If that's the case, we don't actually need flagship phones, we can just go with a Snapdragon 732G or 870 mid/mid-high range chinase phones that can withstand everything during normal daily use.
Dude my Pixel drains 12-14% battery an hour while steaming music over LTE with screen off, while draining 3-4% an hour streaming Tidal on 3g.
Writing this post on LTE made my phone hot.
This isn't normal, wether you like it or not.
Edit: also, the Tensor G2 isn't exactly that hi-end of a chip, benchmarking it put like where? Snap 870? Oh and based on Samsung's OVERHEATING Exynos line. Which Google didn't quite mention untill recently. And don't come here with that "ooo, you're one of those people who..." attitude. I know my tech. I know when tech is good or tech is bad, flagship or not. And yes, I do expect better overall performance in any given case, including at least similar or close to battery life as on a higher mid -range, you know why? Cause people payed close to a 1000 bucks to get a top tier phone. And Google came lacking.

Yes, the whole issue IS THE TENSOR G2. While it barely offers the CPU performance of the 865-70 (GPU is somewhat "decent"), it eats twice as much power. It's EXTREMELY inefficient and performs well below many other "flagship" SOCs while it consumes more power than those.
How much you pay for the phone doesn't automatically grant you a PREMIUM battery life. It may grant you a "premium" performance...
If you know the TECH that well, you would understand why buying a flagship device will never give you the "best" battery life, no matter how much you pay for the device. The reasons behind it is already mentioned in my previous reply. FACT.

Sorry but this seems with no proof at all
I get the VoLTE/VoWiFi/5G things, which are indeed limited by Google
Not the "sabotage", even because on an unsupported MVNO the battery consumption was mostly the same as the host network

My P7P has run much, much cooler than my P6P ever did, it's never run hot.

It will only get hot for few minutes after the update. Your phone is indexing your file and optimising system app due to update. Those two process use a lot of CPU.
After it's done the phone should run normally. No Heat issue on mine. Unless i open the stupid youtube music which somehow use way too much cpu power
