Battery now dying...

So I'm like wtf all of a sudden my battery is like at 40% by noon, and I recharge and it gets to the same within a couple of hours }
I don't get it not even a year yet
BTW I'm stock froyo/ rooted
Bad battery ? Any one else experience this? I have juice defender set CPU
Battery stats say main cause is "cell standby" any tricks to fix this?
No I'm not going to gb
meh...

Well, in the end, that's the best that froyo can do for the G2X...
I had Froyo and i pulled off 6hrs, when i got GB i was able to pull off 8, so yea, juice defender really wouldn't give you that much more battery life, the best shot is to upgrade the ROM.

i would consider updating it :/ i've never had froyo but since i've been using gb i get 15+ hours out of my phone and that's with heavy texting, internet browsing, some netflix watching and a little gaming. but cell standby seems to be my biggest problem too i wish i could fix that

Running froyo I was getting at least 14-16 hours.
Usually bad battery life can be accredited to less-than-optimal user settings, heavy device usage, or there's a rogue app that's sucking your battery down.

and as you can see i still have about half a battery left. the only precaution i really take is that my brightness is almost down to zero. and on my old phone it used to show in the battery settings if i used a certain application such as internet or ebuddy. i have no idea why it won't show those on this device so you can't see my heavy internet usage, gaming and some netflix watching.

and just for reference i'm running complete stock no root or anything. i'm now on one day and two hours worth of battery with 30% still left

Lol I'd be lucky if I got 12 hours out of my phone with my display OFF -.-
I'm probably going to switch back to Froyo.

I had froyo on my phone for about 3 hours and I lost 10%. I have any version of GB on my phone and I lost 10%/hour. So it's a huge jump ATM.

Hey OP, can you post a list of your apps? Use listables. I want to compare it against mine. If there are any similar apps then I'm going to disable/uninstall mine and check battery life and report back.

Have you tried booting into recovery and erasing battery data? That greatly improved battery life on my Nexus S after it had undergone multiple ROM flashes.

The ROM you're using is a huge matter. With CM7, i couldn't go a day without charging. Now, with MIUI, I'm pretty sure I can get 3 days, with normal brightness, and my normal use, which is email and texting.

Holy **** I finally found someone with WIND Lol! Okay, what are your settings though? Do you have it set to WCDMA Only?
Is 3G turned on? Cause I can barely get like 14 hours moderate usage with dim brightness :S
I noticed that with cell radio on I used 10% in 57 minutes and with it off I used 1% in 1.5 hours...

I'll try tonight! Just letting it fully charge, then wiping/calibrating!

I found that if I turn data off sync off the battery lasts over twice as long. I don't need it consistently on, so I turn it on when I'm not busy. Works for me

You know what I find weird. It doesn't matter if I turn data off or not cell standby will still use the same amount of battery and my battery still drains at the same rate.

Battery Life of P6200

Hi all, i'm new to the P6200, i got it for few days and everything running fine. However my battery use increased greatly today but i didnt install any new apps.
its about 8 hrs from 100%-60% while my usage didnt increase at all.
BTW how long does your battery last ?
Im planning to root my P6200 and use Titanium backup to freeze some apps. However i gonna need to know how can i unroot first, except the flashing method. Since im in Hong Kong and doesnt have the HK verson firmware yet. I afraid it would void my warranty incase my tab got any problem.

I used the root method on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367249
Rooting will void your warranty ,

doing a factory reset will unroot the tab, as well as installing an update. All it does is remove su from system/bin.

thanks ! then i will root it asap !! yay !

Strangely enough, I updated to the current patch via WiFi, and did not have to re-root.

I don't know why but my battery jumped from 100% to 89% within 2 hrs of standby. What could've possibly caused this? Facebook app?

You might need to manually remove su from system/bin to fully unroot, someone posted a procedure here somewhere.

You can also force stop facebook and check again your battery usage.

i chose GSM mode only since i acquired my tab+. but still, my battery drains fast even in standby mode.
i also put the refresh interval of the FB app to "never".

true, once i set my mobile network to WCDMA only from dual mode( auto), the problem is gone ! now i just used 9% with 6 hrs usage , mainly wtsapp and standby. very nice
of cause i set all the refresh to off for those apps like fb

The new Facebook App drains the battery on my GSII at a rediculous rate, on the Tab it didn't do it too much but I never really opened it. I suspect there is a battery leak that starts once the program is open. On my GSII I noticed a drain maxing out at 20% an hour until I uninstalled Facebook.

i suggest downloading CPU spy and leave it for like 4 to 5 hours and check if its doing a deep sleep.

ive been using this tab since november.. yes, i have the international version. i got it in Indonesia, and right now, using it in Australia on Vodafone network..
the battery life is superb!! it lasts for almost 2 days!! actually, more like around 40+hrs on single charge.. but i use, like 3-5hrs of calling each day and some 150+ whatsapp msgs..

[Solved] Draining power on standby

Hello community.
I've installed Cyanogen and noticed that the "Phone idle" and "Cell standby" apps are draining around 50% of battery power. Why can it be so? Is radio faulty?
This wasn't a problem with stock HTC Sense...
Or maybe I should just re-calibrate the battery?

Re-calibrating the battery stats my help represent a more accurate usage of your battery, but it wont have any effect on how long it actually lasts.
Out of interest, regardless of what is being represented in battery use graph, what time are you getting between charges? How old is your phone? Don't forget a new battery takes a couple of weeks before it's performing to full potential.
I ran CM7 for a spell and got roughly 24 to 36 hours up time, depending on whether I was using the CM kernel or the Tiamat one respectively. The Tiamat kernel gets slightly longer battery life, but that is because it under-volts so is not considered as stable as the CM one.

Well, I didn't have a chance to get an average time between charges, but it'd be something like 24 hours, so I guess, everything's OK.
Anyway, can radio software update/change improve time between charges?

Is only ever change a radio if it was to fix a specific problem, that couldn't be solved by other means. It is quite risky, and can result in a total brick if it goes wrong. Plus I'm not sure you can do it if you are still s-on.
If you are getting good performance and 24 hours battery life then I'd say leave it be. Any improvement with another radio would probably be too difficult to tell.

Depends on the nature of the "brick". Some are reversible (like a USB brick), but I believe a bad radio flash would mean it was beyond any recovery that you could do yourself.
If you have any problems like poor GPS lock or bad 3G performance and you are already on the right radio for your region (which you are likely already are) then there are usually other less risky procedures to solve any problems. Changing a radio should definitely should be left as a last resort only after all other avenues have been exhausted.
24 hours battery life with moderate/heavy use is about as much as you should expect to get. Any further improvements are better made by managing your radio use and syncing schedules well. Check my downloadable pdf guide that is one of the sticky threads in the General Section. I have done a section on battery life, where I have mentioned a few tips which have helped me push the limits of my battery life to the max.
Quite surprisingly I found the biggest improvement was made when I charged my phone to 100% at night on a timer plug, and let it have a 'rest' at 100% for several hours whilst I was asleep before resuming normal use. You'd be surprised how long it then takes your battery to drop to 99% if it's had chance to cool down after a charge. A hot battery will always discharge faster than a cool one. Charge it up during the day and immediately start using it, and it's down to 99% within minutes.
Look how long this graph shows I was at full charge, and how long I got from following this...

Wow, this is the most valuable tip on energy saving I've come upon.
Along with, may be, switching to 2G instead of 2G/3G.
Thanks a lot!
By the way, I'm looking at my battery using stats, it reads this:
- Cell standby - 38%
- Phone idle - 28%
- Wi-Fi - 13%
- Display - 13%
- *some game* - 5%
- Android system - 3%
I'm used to "Display" being top consumer, so these numbers seem kinda weird, don't they?))

OK, my panic was kinda premature...
I tried not to waste energy and switched off 3G (turning it on on demand). Voila

Nexus 5 battery problems

Hi. I have a two-months-old Nexus 5 (stock ROM & kernel; rooted). Two days ago my battery suddenly started having some problems. First of all, it doesn't last more than 1-2 hours with normal phone usage. Then it often becomes hot, even when not charging. Last but not least, if I keep using my phone while charging, it charges incredibly slowly, or it doesn't charge at all (the charge remains stable). I'm using the stock charger. Any suggestion?

The Nexus 5 has been proven to last longer then an SGS4 which has a bigger battery, and the HTC one with the same size battery (under proper testing conditions) all while using a faster SoC. Do you troll the forums for those phones as well?
Maybe a Moto G or LG G2 would suit some people better for their increased battery life, but that doesn't mean you need to troll every thread on here with false accusations.
If you'd like any more proof on how the N5 battery lasts longer and is more efficient than competing phones of higher prices, just let me know.

Take another BBS log and post it.

I experience the same issues. Not charging when connected or even lose charge when connected. I am still figuring out what causes it. First of all try using the original cable and charger. Second, disconnect the charger when the screen is on, I read somewhere that can help as well.
Today I had the same issue again, but just before I started charging, the battery would lose 1% per 2 minutes and my phone became very warm.
If I find out more, I will let you know.

That is the problem. That particular wakelock belongs to Google Now. I hope you don't use it, because the solution is to turn it off (from within the program). You could try force stopping and/or wiping it's data. But the fact of the matter is that it's a bug in the app.
Google Now has been this way since it was released. The only conclusion I can draw is that Google doesn't care. It's never behaved properly. And that location reporting (that you've now disabled) is completely out of control, been that way for a year now. I actually greenify the Google apps now. I'm tired of putting up with the lazy programming. Keep, Now, Chrome, Drive, Maps, I greenify all of those. I still allow them to sync, but Greenify will kill them again after they are finished.

Take out your Battery, put it on a flat surface say a table. Try to Spin it....if it spins over 2 rounds then you need to buy a new battery.

4.4.2 update and battery life fix

Hi,
I know this subject comes up in a variety of topics and it's really hard to sort the wood from the chaff.
So my "cool story bro" is that I had massively poor battery life following KitKat upgrade and have tried many of those battery saver/greenify apps with no resultant improvement.
I bit the bullet and did a factory reset after I had backed up everything with Kies.
End result is battery life is back to normal today.
Cheers,
Joe

I want to do a factory reset but can't backup app data. I've used helium before but half the app data backups were corrupted so I lost them.

Hello, I've had the Note 3 for just under a week and this battery problem is insanely frustrating. Android System uses more than 30% of the battery. I've tried removing the battery, turning off location, wiping the cache and finally doing a factory reset today to no avail. Android System uses around 36% of the battery and AndroidOS uses 11%. I am on N9005 with Kitkat 4.4.2.

Hello, I've had the Note 3 for just under a week and this battery problem is insanely frustrating. Android System uses more than 30% of the battery. I've tried removing the battery, turning off location, wiping the cache and finally doing a factory reset today to no avail. Android System uses around 36% of the battery and AndroidOS uses 11%. I am on N9005 with Kitkat 4.4.2.

Hi,
I would uninstall all apps you don't desperately need and then do another factory reset. Have you put a lot on it?
Also was the phone new or 2nd hand? Could have a worn out battery in there.
Yours,
Joe

It's brand new. But I got it from another country and can not return it. And no I have nothing on it except a few images taken with the camera from the past few days and they're on dropbox.
I was going to wait a little before doing another factory reset. On this cycle it went down from 75% to 45% in 3h 20m with Android System using 27% of the battery, Android OS using 11% and the screen using 21% with 1h 49m screen time. Is that right for this phone, or is it discharging too fast?
Thanks.

Depends on what you did with the screen time. Movies would drain it a fair chunk I'd guess. If it's new then surely the Samsung warranty can be used if it does turn out to be the worst case scenario of a bad one (which is very rare so I'd expect we can get this sorted with the help of the community here).

It is normal if u are running android 4.4.2. Android system takes about 20 to 30% of total battery life. You will get similar result although u use the best custom Rom and kernel.

I have fixed the problem to a degree.. right now Android System takes 19% of battery and Android OS takes up 10%. What worked for me was disabling an app called "Universal Daemon(EUR)" and changed keep wifi on during sleep to never. The phone used to always hover at the 300 Mhz cpu frequency and never go into deep sleep, right now it does go into deep sleep. Tho I think I'm really unsatisifed with Touchwiz I guess I'll eventually root my phone and replace it with something that isn't as much of a resource hog.
