[APP] BetterBatteryStats adds battery history back to Gingerbread

chamonix said:
I wrote BetterBatteryStats because I was missing the great battery history that Spare Parts allowed to call on Froyo:
- Process stats with User and System CPU time
- *removed till issue #1 is fixed* Network Usage with bytes sent and received
- Wakelock stats (the most important one when it comes to battery drain)
- Other Usage stats: Awake, Screen On, Phone On, Wifi On, Wifi Running ratios

This app is still under development and may contain bugs. If you find one you can keep it but I'd be happy if you could also report it to me.
BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead.
BetterBatteryStats is focussing and has been tested on Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb (3.1, thanks to daveid) and the APK is set to run only on those versions only.
What are wakelocks and why should you care about them?
When it comes to Android the most discussed and commented topic that I know is battery drain / battery life. I'm a quite heavy user because I spend a lot of time on the train every day reading my mails, surfing and listening to music but still my phone is off for a long time during the day and while I accept the battery being drained while I use the phone I care about it draining slowly while "doing nothing".
And here's the point: my SGS2 drains about 2-10 mAh where it was up at 20-100 mAh before I started cleaning stuff up (readings were taken with "Battery Monitor Widget" after leaving the phone alone 1/2 hour).
Try it yourself
Thanks
to nobnut and brandall for their support, testing and constructive feedback in the early stages of the development

MJ7 Note 3 Exynos wakelock culprit found!

Yesterday I charged the phone 100% after rurning off the charger kept it untouched for 30 minutes lost 1% battery cause of wakelock.
I had not rebooted the phone for a few days so some apps I used where still running like a dictionary I use which prevents the phone from sleeping.
I used the phone for 70 minutes to watch videos on MX Player for 68 minutes and using tapatalk for 2 minutes then restarted the phone before I went to bed. I had 86% battery left & It was 1.10 am then.
Today I again started using the phone at 12.05 pm or so & I was amazed that my battery was at 83%

Conclusion: The wakelock is not the fault of Google' Android OS but it's a but that left unresolved by Samsung which does not kill apps completely after using them.
I had removed the dictionary from current tasks, killed running apps using both task manager's RAM Cleanup & Clean Master's memory boost yet the app didn't get killed completely & it's Battery permission which states that the dictionary will prevent the phone from sleeping triggered the stay awake(wakelock) of the Android OS. When I restarted the phone the dictionary got killed completely and thus the phone ate very very less battery.
This was just one app, we have multiple apps inatalled on our phone which prevent it from sleeping.
I really would like to report this to Samsung before they put KitKat out for Exynos Note 3, posting here since at least there are many people here who can help me do so. So that we can have a better user experience with our phone in the future.
Closing Statement: in short poor Task Management & Apps not geeting killed completely trigger Wakelocks.
Solution: Restart the phone before you keep it unused for long durations so you wint suffer from Wakelocks.

And how is your Battery doing today?

Hellou!
Last couple of weeks i'm maybe (not sure) noticing slight decrease in battery life even with greenify, deep dozing and tweaks enabled / set.
- In general i have my Z5 set to be very cool and lasts long when dozing ( for real i mean) and to "turbo" battery drains like hell when gaming, multitasking....
And i preety much like it this way, ouh i have battery charging optimized set to on...
- Today i checked my friends z2 whit hidden service menu and tried z5 to see how it holds up, this is what i get in battery test:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9vd2vd1kg4762r/Batterybad.png?dl=0
Should i be concerned or is this normal wear and thear Phone is 12 months old
So i am curious to see what you get in your service menu
Service code is *#*#7373423#*#*
Greetings!!!

Hello,
Last Friday and Saturday I also suddenly had problem with my battery.
When fully charged the battery sudden died after 2 to 3 hours of use.
I had reset my phone to factory settings and used the following procedure:
Make sure to turn off stamina, go to settings - apps, tap on 3 dots to show system. Scroll down to stamina mode, force stop it. Then under storage tab, clear data. (Stamina was not started for me btw).
Force stop your device with power button and volume up at the same time until you feel 3 vibrations. Turn the phone back on.
If I use your service code it did not work, note the typo: *#*#7378423#*#*

When doing the battery test I have now a healthy battery. The battery seems to last much longer.
(For safety I ordered also a new battery for replacement, my Z5 is already more than two years old...)

yeah same with me my battery stands on like barely one day I must do something with it

Xiaomi - "Sleep Timer" functions not working

Hi, I decided to post here because I'm facing a problem for a while and either the app developer knew how to solver. I'm talking about the Sleep Timer app, speaking of which I saw a post of years ago about it.
So, whats happening:
I use this app for years and it always worked well when I wanted it to turn off Spotify. Recently, I changed my phone and now I use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. Since then, the app doesn't work well. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes not. That's how I'm using it now:
- I connect my phone to my Tronsmart bluetooth speaker
- Start the music on Spotify
- Start counter on the Sleep Timer app. I set it configuration to turn off Spotify and turn off bluetooth, so the speaker can auto turn off too when dispair the bluetooth and saves the speaker battery.
I used the app almost every night, setted as "no restriction" in the battery configuration area, with my bluetooth speaker. Speaking of which, last night setted the app to turn off Spotify and bluetooth as always and I woke up in the middle of night and the music was still playing. So, I setted it AGAIN, and I woke up later still in the middle of night with the music still playing, AGAIN.
I made some tests in the daytime instead of before I sleep and the app did its functions. But, its how I said: sometimes works, sometimes not.. To test if the problem was the app, I downloaded another app with the exactly same purpose and functions, and the same missfunction happened. So, it's something to do with the phone configurations too.
What I want with this topic is to see if someone could help me with this problem or at least could indicate some app with these functions that works 100% fine in the Xiomi's phones.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this!
Here there are some screenshots

Question Battery drain problem (arrowos 11)

I think I'm having some battery drain problems on my Poco X3 Pro.
I've had the phone for 4 months, in December I installed ArrowOS 11, and it had a battery life of about 8hr screen time with wifi, social media, youtube, etc.
After installing an arrowos OTA I think I have seen a degradation in my battery life, now I do not reach 7 hours of screen. And at night it goes down to about 7% in idle. I charge my phone to 100 and let it run down to around 2-3%, I know this reduces battery life but in only 4 months? I have forgotten a couple of times and left it charging overnight, if that, it would have been 2-3 times in all those months. According to Accubattery I have a 90% battery life, I feel that it goes down a lot, but I don't know how reliable it is.
the last picture is from 1 month ago, before installing the OTA update.

Any solutions? Have the same problem

Battery usage can vary from many factors, and not always is about the ROM.
Your usage from the apps are not always the same, and also, apps can be updated to - not always in a good matter of things...
A drop from 8 to 7 hours of SoT is, in reality, nothing. Is inside of the range of values to be expected. The ROM update could have been just a coincidence.
Most of the times, users don't see difference in they activity on the device, but it may be something simple as use the screen in environments with a little more light - and Auto Brightness activated - leading to more bright screens... or just use in general.
still, is a great SoT in both ways. nothing to worry about - and don't panic with such range of SoT, is normal.

With the amount of social apps and crap you have running in the background, ni wonder you drain battery during idle time. Those apps wakelock the device while they connect and do their thing in the background. I have attached my overnight battery loss, with the apps I have installed ( including social stuff like Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber and mail client ).
So, you see, it's not about the ROM... it's about the crap you fill it with. And read up on app broadcast intents. By tweaking those, you can achieve miracles in battery saving.
