lenovo S660 & A806 fast battery drain - Android General

Hi guys
i just bought 2 devices for my friends :
Lenovo s660 - runs 4.2.2 - 4.7" , 1/8GB, 6582 quad core, battery capacity 3000mah
lenovo a806 - runs 4.4.2 - 5", 2/16GB , 6592 octacore ,battery capacity 2500 mah
both of the owners are saying that the battery drains really fast even in save mode and in really basic use (some browsing, whatsup, calls without games or heavy use etc) which is not reasonable - i ordered it because of the battery capacity and the quality of lenovo.
Do you have any idea what could be the solution ?
Thanks in advance.

For me quite a big difference is if I'm using both sims or just one. Now when I'm on one I'm at 53% and have already 11d nad 14hrs. I use a Wifi a lot, but I don't play games at all. Mostly browser, RSS reading, email, viber a phone calls.
The other thing is that when I got the other day to 35% the battery got to 2% in a matter of two hours. So I guess it's not showing very acurate percentage...

Vivax TPC-7100

Hello,
wanted to ask a few questions for tablets....I have experiance in custom roms for andorid mobile phones but not for tablets.
Right now I have LG optimus 4X HD with CM 10.2 installed and it is very easy to find roms and everything else for the most
of the phones but as I can see not for the tablets....
I wanted to change to rom on my tablet but it is a cheap tablet that even don't have te spec on the manufacturers site or on the Vivax site there is not my model or even program to update your Vivax tablet. As I can see the Vivax is not that popular and dont have support as the others.
As I can see when i search the web is that the chip and cpu is what is important...so this is an A13 Cortex A8 cpu TI OMAP 850 and 7inch tablet...and i want to change the rom couse the camera on this one is terrible...and I need cam for skype..
So my question on the end would be..where can I find some roms...and how to root it?
But what roms can i flash?? And can it be rooted?
It already has an recovery but the root checker says it is not rooted...well any help wich rooting and begining to flach an 7 inch tablet would be fine..
Thanks

MTK6582 drain battery problems in several models

I own an inew V3 mobile phone and the battery drains so fast it cannot get not even 12 hours moderate use, I have read same problems happens in different models with the same soc (haipai P6, Jiake 10), the models have a hd 1280*720 resolution screen, don't know if the same thing happens with QHD models that use a different soc.
So I post it here to find if this is a common problem of the soc, ammendable with software, or should we conclude that this soc is useless for mobile phones at all.
Same issue!
I'm also using iNew v3. Battery drains too fast. Also Battery stops charging at around 87% level & then suddenly it reaches at 100%! Also youtube doesn't play smoothly.

I read in other threads that battery drains mostly by cell standby on all MTK6582 Roms.
Could you try as a test to disable 3G (only use 2G).
Alternatively you could try to install Auto 3G Battery Saver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slv3r.auto3g&hl=en
Could you report back the results? How much longer does your battery hold?

I already tried disabling 3g for a full day with the same results, I cannot do any more testing as I sold the phone, I am waiting now for a thl w200s with mtk6592 soc.

Hi, I'm looking at the H1 to do me for 6 months when I'll pick up the Nexus 6P successor, how did you find it? I've read a few reviews online but not much information about prolonged use. I'm coming from a galaxy note 4 (now broken) and have never owned a mid range smartphone so I'm unsure what to expect. does it run smoothly with a few apps open? app switching? multiple chrome tabs open? a few games here and there (not the most demanding of games though).
thanks
First, you have to remember that Cubot H1 has a MTK quad-core processor clocked 1 MHz. I think it's not the same league as processors in SG Note4 or Nexus 6P . Secondly, I can't live without root access. I use Greenify application, which makes RAM usage between 500MB - 1GB . I have installed 3 games : Angry Birds - Transformer, Traffic Rider , NFS No Limits. No problems. The same with open few tab in Chrome browser. Smartphone still working as a first day. Personally, I have slowly looking around for a successor, but doesn't find worthy . Battery 5000mAh and 5,7' screen is the absolute min, LED notifications , dual-sim, SD card slot (no hybrid), blinking buttons below the screen, mini-jack, plus USB on the top of the unit. Cubot work with Android 5.1. Probably I would wait (on the new smartphone) for Android N. Are you checked Ulephone Power?
Hello,
In my case it was 10-12 hrs too

why is this processor so battery hungry?

I previosly owned a Moto X Play and it didnt consumed more than 3% and at redmi pro is minimum 12% . Data and wifi always enabled

There's definitely something with the thermal management of the processor, as evidenced by the difference in Antutu scores hot vs cold where I see 30% difference, low 70000 versus > 100000 - and by "hot" I mean after 10 minutes of browsing, not playing intense games.
That said, compared to a similar spec phone like Elephone S8 the Redmi Pro looks pretty good. With a similar battery rating and X25 if I leave both idle the Redmi Pro still has 35% charge when the Elephone S8 hits zero. Yes the Elephone has a larger screen, but by idle I mean mostly just sitting there with the screen off.
Can't comment on the Moto X Play but if the Snapdragon 615 is anything like the 625 in, say, the Redmi Note 4X then battery life will blow it out of the water and performance will remain pretty much constant (it never gets "hot hot"). But... so here's the thing, in Antutu the performance never reaches the heights of the X25 at it's hottest/worst.

Battery duration compared to old S5 Mini

Hello,
Since I have not yet had a precise idea about the battery life of this S10E, I would like a comparison between my current smartphone and the S10E.
If for example with my current smartphone (Galaxy S5 Mini, stock rom and battery replaced about 3 years ago) with the use I make I arrive at night when I go to sleep with about 15% of battery, in my case with S10E how much will the battery percentage be compared to the S5 mini?
Thanks a lot in advance for a reply!
I'm assuming the baterry is 2,100 mAh, the s10e has 3,100 a better processor and a better overall OS and UI.. it handles battery drain better afaik.
You should see very good improvements in battery life going with the s10e..

Ok, thanks a lot for the reply!!
I would like to switch from my S5 to the S10E, but the various reviews says that S10E have a very bad battery....

In all honesty, I came from an LG G6 to the S10e (Snapdragon version), and I'm getting better battery life, even though the G6 had a larger 3300 mAh battery. You should almost certainly see a decent improvement coming from an S5.

I hope, because I would like to buy an european S10E with a Exynos CPU. The battery drain problems is related to Exynos models, not to Snapdragon.
I would not compare a low priced/featured SoC (S5 mini) with a highest end Soc (S10e). A more featured SoC will always drain more power, because it has more components that must be powered. Better compare the energy efficiency of the same SoC from different smartphone manufacturers.
As far as I can say yet after a week, the power drain of the S10e is OK. This means: I expect that with more apps the power drain will raise. If the phone lasts for a day, or if i have to power it in the late evening/night, this is OK.
My last daily driver phone was a Xiaomi Note 5 which broke accidently. That thing gave me power for 2-3 day heavy usage. With an Snapdragon 636, an ernergy efficient mid-class SoC with a 4000mAh battery, the experience was superb. But with lack of many phone features like good camera, NFC, ....
Nevertheless I decided to switch to an higher end daily driver because of the features and overall better possibilies the S10e can give me. If the battery will not last for the whole day i will sell it. I also will buy a backup phone like the Xiaomi Note 7 soon for navigation and for traveling.
