Yesterday I updated to the latest nightly and today I notice in the early afternoon that my battery is unusually low. I don't think anything of it (figured I didnt plug the charger cable all the way in) until this evening when I got a low battery warning which has NEVER happened on my moto g.
I check betterbatterystats and nothing seems too unusual. I try clearing the cache and restart he phone, greenify a new game I'd installed and charge it. Later that evening the battery continues to drain.
I check the cm12.1 xda thread and don't see any such issue mentioned. I download a build from over a week ago and flash it along with gapps. I let the phone sit an hour. It's down 10% in just an hour.
Betterbatterystats says it spent the hour in deep sleep, no wakelocks or anything.
What can I do? Is my battery shot?
Edit: the battery usage chart in settings shows a flat line, BTW...
Well, I don't know what happened but my battery seems to be back to normal. Today so far my phone has been awake for 6 hours (I listen to audiobooks) and I'm down to only 79%.
to me it happend exacteley the same! I installed the the cm-12.1-20150722-NIGHTLY and the battery was empty after a few hours with mainly sleep mode... is it fixed on the newest nightly?

Well, this was interesting... Since day 1, I have had great battery life and have not experienced what everyone else has been experiencing.. An occassional lock-up/reboot, but nothing major.
A couple of weeks ago, I switched to a backup battery (andida). Things have been going well w/ that battery. Yesterday, I updated cwm.. While the andida battery was out, I decided to switch back to the stock battery for a while. Then, the following items took place all within a few hours of use, which I have not experienced.. ever before:
- Battery temp running high.. Andida constantly hanging around 22.2 - 23.2. Stock was hitting around 43 until i rebooted the phone, then dropped to 40. It is currently running at 36.
- 2 shutdowns. I could not boot the phone past the LG logo after the shutdown. Was able to boot into CWM though > went to shutdown > tried to boot, same thing. Had to pull the battery in order for it to boot.
- Received a phone call, answered, but the phone kept ringing during the entire phone conversation.
- 2 screen lockups. Could slide the unlock, get the haptic feedback, but that was it. It would not unlock. Had to reboot.
- 1 black screen of death? Total black screen with the task bar displayed. Was able to go into settings, pull down the task bar, etc. Background was blacked out. Reboot, fixed.
- Can not get gps. Was driving for 5min trying to get a GPS lock, nothing. Opened up GPS test and not a single satellite showed up in the list.
- Finally... and worst of all. Last night I plug in the phone for a couple of hours. As I'm going to bed, I disconnect the usb from it.. and take a glance to see where it charged to - 100%. I go to bed at around 1:30am. I wake up at 7:30a, turn on the screen of the phone, and it gives low battery warning. It's at 2%. I reboot the phone to make sure. It's at 1%.
So idk.. maybe something was stuck running. I'll find out here shortly after this charge is done.. but I am seeing a major difference in the operation of the phone after putting the stock battery back in. I had not experienced this when I was running the stock battery in the past. (I had an occasional lockup/reboot.. but not to this scale.. and I had always had fantastic battery life. Every single time I unplugged before bed and had 100%, I would have 98% when I woke up).
Suggestions? Changes were updating to the new CWM 4 and putting the stock battery back in. Running Bionix RC1..which I have been running for a while. I'll let this sucker charge up and see what it does. Maybe I should wipe the batt stats?
yeah wipe the batt stats. possibly try cm7 its really stable now. i know it doesnt have the a2dp but every else works. i would say another kernel also faux's or morific work fine. use setcpu if your going to oc. if you choose to flash another i would do a complete wipe of everything then install so hopefully the problems wont pop back up in the new flash. i read in one of the thread that if your battery is dated 3/2011 it will have issues but the 4/2011 or whatever will have less reboot and freezes issues may wanna try getting a replacement if you wanna stick with bionix until krylon does an update.
The andida battery doesn't have a temp sensor, so it's worthless for testing temperatures.
well, idk.. who knows what the crap happened. I charged to 79% and unplugged. 2.5hrs later, I'm still at 72%. That's around 3% an hr. Last night was 17%/hr.. Something happened last night.. Man, I'd love to know what took place.
Either I had an app going wild all night, or the battery really never charged.. and the 100% was deceptive. It's just nuts how all of these probs all of a sudden surfaced right after cwm 4 and putting the stock battery back in. They never surfaced b4 on the same ROM and with the same battery that I used for weeks and weeks.
O'well....

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
You should wipe battery stats when doing any major rom change (stock to custom or between different roms).
Battery will always be wonky the first time before a full charge/discharge on the rom unless it is 100% and battery stats are wiped.
Typically what I do (on CM7), is when I wake up the phone is at 100%. I download the latest nightly while I'm in the shower. Jump out, it starts to flash. When its done and booted up, I wipe stats then unplug the phone and go to work.
I don't always wipe stats. But with all of the battery tweaks and fixes he's done, I will occasionally.
I very rarely ever completely turn my phone off, but last night I decided to turn it off right before I went to sleep. My battery was down to 25% right before I turned it off. When I woke up this morning the phone would not turn on. So I decided to plug it into the wall charger to see if it would help. Well the phone did turn on after I plugged it in and to my surprise the battery was showing as 0% charged which is why it wouldn't turn on without being plugged in.
So, that means that something drained my battery from 25% to 0% while the phone was completely turned off. What in the world would be running while the phone is turned off that would drain the battery like that?
I have this phone for two months, stock rom, not rooted, don't use mobile internet, only wi-fi, not always on, I would say a moderate usage.
The last week I am experiencing big battery problems, it drains in half a day. Nothing new installed in the last week that could be a problem, I think I had only few app updates from the market, but am not sure if the time is the same as the beginning of battery problems.
The first time I have charged the battery in the evening, disconected the charger after the light turned green, it was about 10pm, the next morning at 6 am the battery was at 4%?! The second time the battery was charged from 15% to 65% (I had no time to full carge), from 4pm to 10 pm it went down to 3% again.
Last night I made a full charge, disconected the charger at 6am this morning, now at 8 am the battery is at 75%, I don't understand...
I don't let the apps sync automatically and I use wifi only, everything is setup not to drain the battery, no problems till the last few days...I have installed GO launcer a month ago but I don't think it could be a problem, it worked all well till now.
Any thoughts or suggestions what to do?
When you go to settings,about phone, battery usage, what does the statistic point out as the biggest user? You can also download battery monitor widget to see what is usung what.
Goodluck
It says display 58%, cell standby 15%, voice calls 14% (3 voice calls), phone idle 13% (for 4 hours after disconnecting the charger), this last one, phone idle, seems to much considering others?
Anyway, I have powered off the phone, pulled the battery out and put it back in, seems the situation is better, I will see later on.
Now I remember that few days ago the phone got frozen and I had to pull the battery out to restart it because I couldn't restart it regularly. I think it is after that the battery draining problem has begun, is it possible?
Hey guys, I thought I was getting decent battery life until I noticed that if I charge my phone and leave it unplugged overnight, I get severe battery drain.
Last night, for instance, I went to sleep at 12am with 97% battery and woke up at 8:30am with 65%. I had WiFi on overnight because I figured LTE drained more, but my battery use screen is showing that WiFi was cut off shortly after I went to sleep. However I also have noticed other times that I lose 15-20% overnight with data completely off.
I don't think it is a rogue app or anything because I am using the same ~30 apps I have always used and I have never had a problem with any of them. I am coming off a fresh install of CleanROM 2.2, but I have noticed this issue with every build I've used since getting my HOX.
I also noticed that its saying my display is taking up nearly 50% of my battery so far on this cycle, when its only been on for a total of 30 minutes and its been off the entire night.
Are there any apps that will help me figure out what's causing the drain?
Better battery stats check xda it's free and look at partial wakelocks

Want to see bad overnight drainage?
I woke up to a dead phone and this...
Try this:
Charge to 100%
Boot to Recovery
Wipe Data
Delete Battery Stats
Reinstall CleanROM (I'd suggest upgrading to 3.0)
Restart
Run Battery down without shutting off
Recharge
After you recharge, it should be fine. If not, return to stock and try to get it exchanged because it is defective. Just hope the people at AT&T don't check the bootloader, and you should be good.
overnight battery drain and warm.
I've been experiencing the same issue.
Two nights ago I went to sleep with around 73% and woke up with 71% and last night, I went to sleep with full charge, wifi and data off, and woke up to 77%.
Is your device also exceedingly warm?
I've also noticed a few times that it will give an inaccurate charge percentage, until a restart sometimes. So for example, it will read 65% and after a restart, it will read 95%.
I saw a post somewhere about htc smartsync causing some issues. Maybe it could be the cause of this drain? Apparently it shuts off wifi and data between 1 and 7am and only turns them back on to sync at certain intervals. Also it's buggy as hell so it just f's everything up. I'll post the link to the relevant thread once I find it.

Alright so I was listening to music and my phone just shut down instantly, I left it charging overnight and it finally powered on. I'm pretty sure my battery was at over 20%, I'm guessing my own phone thought the battery was at over 20 but in reality the battery was almost dead? Anyone have any guesses on why this happened?
That happened to me once, do you flash roms when the battery is not fully charged? If you are running not the latest recovery you can erase battery stats or there are numerous apps in the play store to delete the battery stats. Just make sure you are charged to 100% before you clear the battery stats.
Yep, in fact I flashed at like 10% yesterday haha, and I'm running TWRP 2.3.1, anyway my phone died and charged it up to 100%. Thanks for the reply.
Also a bit off topic but how's that Galaxy KOR? I used your voltage table on KT747 and got 5 hours of screen on time.
i know there are a lot of other threads out there, but I haven't found one that talked about the problem deeper and has a fix. anyways, I'm experiencing a serious battery drain where I charge my phone up to 100, unplug it in the morning, go to school and leave it in my pocket for 2 hours, and it ends up being 70-80% and the screen on time isn't even on the battery stats because I've barely used my phone to have it show up. As im typing this on my phone, ive even lost 2%. Is anyone experiencing something similar and is there a fix for this? At 33% now, according to the battery usage, cell standby is at the top of the list with 10% and screen on time is 25 minutes . Thanks so much
Please post some screenshots of battery stats and someone may be able to help

My phone is the same way. Even with the latest update that made cell standby way better where it sits at 1-3% my phone drains like crazy. It's been off the charger for 3 hours and 1 hour of screen on time and it's at 57%. They need a bigger battery in the s7.
Check to see if you have a VPN app installed, Firefox, Candy Crush (or other King app), or a weather app. Many use mdnsd that eats power. King apps send data all the time. And there may be some adware that you have that is eating power. Hope this helps...

Battery Drain
I have had the same problem. With the earlier update I had the issue with (what I consider) excessive drain caused by cell phone standby. With the latest update cell phone standby has taken a back seat to Android System. Here is a screenshot from today. As you can see Android System has more than twice the percentage of anything else. I reset the phone a couple of days ago but that had absolutely no effect. Went to a local Verizon store to complain which naturally went nowhere.

I did a factory reset in recovery wiped cache twice and rebooted I have had much better battery. 20-30% higher when I leave work. I also kept WiFi calling turned off not sure if that was the drainer.
