[Q] Battery Life study over 12 hours - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I have been using CM12 Nightlies since they were out and have had better battery life than CM11s untill the last 2 weeks when battery life has gone half. With the same Usage, i now get to about 35% remaining over 6 hours , where earlier i would still have 60-65%.
I thought it was a passing thing with the nightlies but the problem did not go. Hence did a bit of testing today. Following are the results.
What is bothering me specifically is even basic usage of Facebook/Chrome is draining battery at 1% every 4 minutes or so.
I would like to know if this kind of battery drain is common or is it specific to my device.
This was mostly testing the idle battery time. I will be conducting a normal usage test tomorrow.
Please find attached the Better Battery Stats dump , Logcat, Screenshot & an excel file of all these entries for anyone who wants to compare.
CM12 Nightly Jan 06
Testing Period : 12 hours

Hi.
My qtek 2020 hangs up calls and make it impossible to phone again when battery reaches around 30 %, more or less. Is there a way of enlarging battery use until it reaches around 10 %?
Thanx
My friend had same this problem.But after change his battery,his problem is solved.So may be it will work for you.
I tried your problem and reached 0% battery )
Also I taken photos of this experiment
Also I filmed a video where I play some sounds with WMP at 1% battery
Photos are here:

Yes, Its possible to make sound at o% battery on your phone, I have done this many times, but in such cases this is not supporting and after reaching at 10% low batter phone is about to switched off. so somewhere its working and somewhere not....
i found that himalayas are not reliable when low on battery they either really slow down or quit altogether
best bet is give it a recharge every day and a half

Check the running apps in task manager at night before you go to sleep. There may be a game or an app which takes a large amount of RAM and battery power.
Losing 10% overnight is about what I have always seen with my phone..

I killed all tasks just to be safe..didnt help. I got about 180mA when idling which looks bit much. On my old Desire it was 3-5mA when sitting overnight..
There are plenty of threads on battery issues and how to minimize battery loss ... but otherwise one just have to live with the fact that batteries have not improved that much over the years as we would have liked to see.

[Q] Why is android system using a lot of battery?

So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.

[Q] GsmInboundSmsHandler battery drain

I'm monitoring my battery life after I returned to stock ROM and Kernel. I'm using ART, bacause I heard that the phone can have better battery management.
After 1/3 of usage I saw this on Attivo ( = Awake)

I used BetterBatteryStats and I saw this
I made a few research on internet, but I didn't find anything usefull.
I take another screenshot from the section Alarm
Now, I don't know if com.google.android.gms is the responsible of the GsmInboundSmsHandler wakelock, but I don't think so, cause I read that GsmInboundSmsHandler is a phone service.
What can I do? Because you can see that the Awake bar shows up constantly after 1/3 of battery usage.
The phone has been awaken for 1 g 17 h 42 m and the screen for 3 h 48 m. I can't really complain, but maybe the battery can do better than this.
Did you already fix it? If you did, then how? I´m having the same problem on my Moto G. The Phone APK is draining my battery. When I use Wakelocks Detector for more info it is the "GsmInboundSmsHandler". Please. Help.

Android System Battery High

Anyone have any tips on what I can disable on a stock non rooted device to get my Android System battery usage down? It's always on top and is usually in excess of 25%. As it stands I can't even get a day out of this thing with only 1.5 hrs of screen on time.
Maybe the battery is bad, phone is only a couple weeks old.
Oh and I should mention that there's no wakelocks or anything strange, it appears it's a legitimate battery drain. My screen brightness is low as well and today I never woke it up outside, just inside abient light. WiFi is off as well.

A thread all by myself, cool.
Today my battery has been unbelievable, only dropped 28% in 12 with plenty of use. I don't know what to think.
Same issue here.
I've had the phone for 5 days now.
First 3 were a blast with over 5 hours SOT.
I am now getting little over 2 hours SOT thanks to Android System.
Lonely threads come with expensive devices. No support, No Roms, No Development.
Anyhow, For your issue, Try minimizing the permissions of builtin apps. Disable autorun, and use greenify.
