99% after ten hours. Went out of the country and didn't have to charge once. You want to save juice? Just put the phone in airplane mode.

i dont really believe the androids built in battery measure.

Maybe a number on how much time the screen was powered on, for reference?

Reboot the phone and watch it drop to 50%

That's why I never restart the phone unless I'm near an charger.

lol...but actually that doesn't matter...it doesnt drain a lot rebooting...it just refreshes the battery stats to show the real value. his phone is saying it's at 99%, but I can assure you it's much much lower than that

Probably was lower than 99%, but it did last a good four days without needing to be charged (in airplane mode the whole time).

99% after 9 hours of battery use, yep i have to agree with you scotsman, it is much lower than that

WiFi can certainly be a hog, as can be GSM signal - especially if it's a weak signal. Display will drain if you keep the display on a LOT(!) - but otherwise that's why you see a lot of folks recommend to turn off WiFi or BT if you're not using 'em.

Wow what a great idea put the PHONE in airplane mode Hello? its a phone people were using them to call and/or text each other.
Want to save gas? Dont drive , just sit in your car and listen to music

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. No matter if it sucks battery I would prefer to use my phone and keep a charger with me every time. But one should enjoy the features to the full.

CM10 battery drain spike

Sorry for not posting this in the CM10 thread; this is my first post and I'm not allowed to comment in the dev forum yet.
I installed CM10 (after having used CM9 successfully for a month or two) from this thread (the 8/9 build) last night.
Everything more or less works fine, but I was playing with the torch app for about 5 seconds when my phone went from ~60% charged to off:

}
I don't actually think it was the torch app that sucked all of the power (the "battery" section of the settings says almost all of it went toward the screen) as I tried to repro it by using the torch app again and it doesn't make a dent in the power. No games or web browsing was happening.
I'm not so much looking for a solution as I am interested in posting this as a kind of bug report, since the ROM is in early alpha. If there's anything I can do to provide more information, I would be happy to do so.

yea. h8rift is working on these wakelocks. if you look at the time "awake" it is awake even when the screen is off. gps and nfc have been thought to be the culprits. but yea all of us are having the same issues.

I see that it was awake a lot, but it's the sudden spike toward zero that seemed really odd to me. I was using it at the time and it dropped so quickly that, by the time it told me to plug it in, it was already at zero.

yea i experienced the same thing, except from 82 percent to about 71. just overall the battery readings and management on cm10 so far are whack.

So I downloaded BetterBatteryStats....

I wanted to see how my phone was performing battery wise so I downloaded BBS but Im not sure how to use the info it gives me. So looking at the screenshot below. Is my phone normal or should I make some adjustments. I know that if I leave it off the charger over night I loose approximately 25% not sure how normal that is for Android. Any tips or advice would be be nice

Looks horrible. Phone should spend majority of its time in deep sleep overnight. You should only lose 1% per hour or less. You should check partial and kernel wakelocks too.

You might as well put it in airplane mode since you have no signal at night.

Thanks so much for the replies. So since my battery life was not superb. I decided to try a new rom. Synergy, it looks like I am getting more sleep time but my wlan is still up and so is data connection. I also ran kernel and partial wake. Any insight on these reports below?

You can try going into maps settings and make sure report location is unchecked. Also, make sure your GPS is off

This isn't right surely my phone gets way too hot as well and I'm only browsing social media so far I'm really not impressed with this phone as my sms texts crash too and I can't delete conversation or it takes way too long to open a conversation.

In the first screenshot what is your screen time?

Probably not even an hour mate, it's ridiculous

Strange... Your phone came with Android 5.0.2 preinstalled? Now I see you're using 4g ... For example now I have 54% batterry with 2h 40 (music,web browsing on 3g+). I heard the Android 5 is a major battery drainer (especially if you re staying on 4g). Try to make a few full discharge/recharge cycles or try a hard reset.
For example I don't have a battery problem even that I'm running Android 5. But I've manually flashed it( from Android 4.4.4) . This is my usage for today:

Ahh I see well I'm running the 5.04 I think, I can't update the software so im presuming it is the latest one, and sync where would I find this? Sorry I'm new to androids. You see yours is on about 50% and you can still get 10hours+ mine is on 67% at the moment and it's saying it won't last another 4 hours. I think I'll let it run completely dead them put it on charge

Settings->Accouts-> and uncheck auto-sync data. And about battery predictions they are not so accurate,at least at the first 1-2 weeks... Trust me this is a great phone in matter of battery just give it time. With proper settings and medium usage(4 h 30m screen time) you can get something like this:
This is my usage data that I had 2 weeks ago . Medium usage,web browsing,fb and some pictures .

Ah I see, that's the dream right there lol. This is the second day im using it, it's lasted longer then it did yesterday but it's nowhere near yours lol. I really hope it adjusts it's self by the end of the week.
Also do you find you're phone becomes warm to hot just browsing the Web?!

Depends... On chrome after 20-30 min but I also listen music and it's not that hot . Also it's summer and the screen stays almost at maximum light and that heats it up too .

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
