[Q] Heavy battery drain issue - help troubleshoot

Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

Try changing battery... even i had same problem with Custom rom. Battery used to last only for 10 to 12 hours but now its more than 17 hours on JB 4.1.2 leak,,,,...Use stock rom. and remove any unncessesary apps and installl ROM again if u want :good:

How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

Look like a battery problem to me its not the ROM but anyways turn off location services and wifi they are a big battery drainer
Use 2G when u dont need high speed.......
Try this app called Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(it helps to reduce wakelocks and improves your battery life)
:laugh: Let me know if it helped (btw chck your battery and see if its defected they are amny ways to chck it read up the forums )

Think mine is clearly a battery issue. Replaced the battery with a new one yesterday and now the phone lasts 6 hrs at least on a single charge.

CM 10.1.3
I couldn't write to developer's forum so I'm asking here.
I've recently firmwared my AT&T A2 CM 10.1.3 and battery drains really fast! The previous build was CM 10.1 (25th of June). I wiped cache and dalvik cache and firmwared CM 10.1.3. At least 3 people report that thie batteries on this ROM drain slow.
What did I do wrong???

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Thank you fro your answer. When I used previous version of CM the battery lasted 3 days with minimal using and turning the flight mode at night on.
As long as I installed newer version with JBX kernel the battery lasts 20 hrs max.

Follow these steps..
1. Don't use 3G, Go for 2G data connection.
2. Remove unwanted Apps (Few apps are really working as battery Eater, For me it was the concern for battery drain)
3. Still Not resolved, Do battery calibration (Refer Moto G Forum for this)
4. Still have problem.. Dude you have a defective piece of battery.. Return it to Flipkart, if crossed 30 days limit then Moto Customer care is the only option..

The average battery drop down rate in nearly 6% per hour...
I saw the stats of last night battery usage it was just "awake" that drained out the whole battery.
Any solution to it Rj?

Are you running Stock firmware?

Yep!! Not Rooted

Try turning off: Settings > Location, or put the phone into Airplane Mode. Power Toggles is a quick way to enable / disable Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as needed.
While it is often discouraged, I kill all recent apps at night. You will also see a real benefit if you root and flash a custom kernel such as Faux - stock kernel is just not as battery efficient.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver has some nice features that will benefit you.

Saw on moto forums, it is a known issue but only happen once. Haven't happened to me yet.

My Le1S displays the same erratic battery behaviour...It all started after the 19s update...Don't know whether it was a coincidence and if I have a software or hardware issue...Battery charged to 100% - would then drop to 40% within a few hours - then jump to 20% in another 1 hour - and then would start discharging at the rate of 1% every second and finally shut down...I tried every battery calibration method mentioned on this forum; did a factory reset numerous times; nothing helped...
For long, I've been thinking of downgrading to EUI 14s using one of the links in the Leeco forum...Am even thinking of flashing the 23s chinese version another link...
This was a beautiful when I had bought it...Not sure why things took such a downturn that now it has become a nightmare...I literally have to keep it connected to a charger most of the time...Pls let me know if you find a solution for this issue and if a battery change helps you...If nothing works, I am planning to move to the Redmi Note 4 soon...

The issues come from the source used i believe. Every nougat rom has battery drain. Every non-EUI based marshmallow rom has bt audio issue. Don't know issues with lollipop ones. EUI roms i have used all have this notifications issue, sometimes phone wont receive any even if every battery saving feature is disabled.
Best marshmallow roms for those who don't care about Bluetooth audio, AOKP and AICP. I would gladly go back to EUI, even miui or flyme, without those notifications and Bluetooth issues.

Use the CM 13 ROM (either LOS 13 from the xda forum or the cm 13 by bule from bbs.ydss.cn) which gives the best standby time even with all apps running in the night the battery drain is about 1 to 3% all night. I use the eui 26s rom which battery backup is also good I have no issue like you mentioned.

Custom ROM battery drain

Hello!
Does any of you have an idea why do I have a huge battery drain on custom roms?
I have tried nearly all of them (all based on OpenKirin), and no matter what I do I cannot get more then 1,5 - 2 hours of SOT, and I have to charge my phone daily. With EMUI I only charged my phone in every 2 days, with 3-4 hours of SOT.
Here's what I've tried:
- Installed L Speed, set it to Battery profile
- Installed HEBF instead of L Speed, set it to medium battery saving
- Installed Kernel Adiutor, set the CPU governor to Blue_active or Darkness, set I/O scheduler to zen or bfq (with whitePug kernel)
- Installed Greenify, set all apps that I don't want to keep running to it
- Installed Titanium Backup, I froze some system apps I don't need
- I checked WakeLock Detector, but I didn't find anything bad, my phone was 3% awake, the rest in deep sleep
- I installed BetterBattery Stats, no result
Still in 7 hours overnight from 100% my battery drained to 93%. In 9 hours with minimal usage and approx. 10 minutes SOT I'm at 82%.
I couldn't find solution to this, this is the case in ALL roms...
Can anybody help?

Thats is realy bad and big battery drain. If you goes now back to emui, battery life is the same like last time on emui? I mean if isn't something corrupted in phone after flashing custom roms
edit: I think you try to do factory reset
edit1: You always use only one optimizer? Becasue if u use this can make some errors between two optimizers if work two together
edit2: You try just flash custom rom without any change in setting and any optimizer and, battery drain is still huge?
edit3: this I think don't help but can have a look https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-battery-life-nougat-t3623980

I have used LSpeed + Kernel Adiutor OR HEBF + Kernel Adiutor OR Lspeed only OR HEBF only. I didn't mix them. I tried with and without Greenify as well. I've already went back EMUI once for the same reason, battery life is great there, no issues.

Have you tried going back to the EMUI and check if everything is fine? It could even be your battery that is damaged because of over heat or using 3rd party charger.

Rommco05 said:
So good message is phone isn't broken. You always download latest version of custom rom? Try just once clean installation, wait what is your model of phone FRD...?
edit: You have network and wifi signal good/strong?

FRD-L09
Wifi always nearly full (with EMUI it's always full), network signal nearly always full.
I've tried clean install many time. Currently I'm on OwnROM. I've flashed the WhitePug kernel in the morning after the 7% drain with stock kernel.

As I mentioned above your comment, on EMUI everything is good.
On custom roms the phone isn't overheating, and I use stock charger.

Mine good i got about 5-6+ SOT

I had this issue ever since I tried custom roms. This is the reason I went back to EMUI before. It's good there.

Yes. From B389.
First I flashed RROS latest full. Then I flashed the other roms.

Thanks! I've just flashed OwnROM again with Dalvik, Cache, Data and System wipe. I flashed gapps and I installed nothing else. I charge my phone to 100% and I let it be on the desk till the afternoon. We'll see. If it's good, maybe some installed app causes the issue.
Any of you use Viber? I have Messenger, Telegram and Viber all installed and runnin. They don't show up in the battery consumers though... On EMUI I have no issues with them.

Yes can be related with this apps on custom roms, leave after here results

Sure thing! Another question, is that normal that on Custom roms it takes much LESS time to charge the phone to 100%? It takes longer on EMUI, especially after 80% and up.

Well, nothing changed really...
2 hours on battery with 3 min screen on time 2% drop. That's 1% / hour, just as last night.

with kernal auditor (governer -blu_active&Schduler-bfq for battery ) and use lspeed and set the profile to battery :good:

Without gapps? no... But I've flashed back EMUI already.

I have observed that Carbon ROM gave me the best battery life. Standby of 1%/hr is still present but it doesn't drain as fast as other ROMs when screen is on.

Phone turns off at 40% battery

Hi,
My xiaomi mi4c has a big problem, the battery discharges quickly and around 40 50% phone turns off with message "0 battery" but i turn on imediatly and battery is there where was before turning off, and from 40 or 50% keeps discharging to real 0%.But on night in sleep mod or inactivity its discharging a little bit, maybe 5% all night. Any clues or advises? Its rooted and has android 6, no auto brightness, no gps enabled or other thing like that... Its very annoying...
Thank you!

I used to have this exact problem too, clean flashing an Android Nougat ROM with the latest firmware fixed it for me.

I use AICP 12.1, it's one of the most popular threads in the ROM development forum in this section. But I can almost guarantee you that your phone won't have that problem anymore if you install any of the other ROMs, since I believe it to be related to the firmware more than to the ROM itself.

Mybe i should said but my phone has 2years old and this problem went up when phone guarantee expired ) very typical...

I don't think it's the issue, my phone is approaching 2 years too and it had been there for a while before I switched ROMs again.

Changing battery helped me solve the problem

Me too.And my battery was bulge.
So i replace the new one.The problem was solve:laugh:

solution : try replace your battery with new one maybe
