When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Xiaomi Mi 5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
If anyone could post the standby drain overnight it would be great. I would like to know how much % is lost during night time....
This one is from mine:

It's 20% over 9 hours, so it's around 2% per hour. Everything is still on: sync (3 email accounts, 7 social media apps), wifi, bluetooth, etc.
I'd really like help with this area, if anyone can give me any advice. If I charge my phone to 100% at night then unplug it, when I wake up in the morning it's down to less than 50%. This is with pretty much nothing on, no wifi, data, bluetooth etc. This happens most of the time, but not all the time (when it doesn't I can get a few days of use out of the phone), and I've yet to identify and fix the exact cause.
Haven't empirically tested, but I seem to get more battery life when in continual use (listening to music off and on, etc), then when resting overnight/for long periods.
I can give any details needed, but I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.0-20160908. Have tried Doze, and GSam (can post any logs if I know what's useful), and Wakelock detector. Would changing roms help?

Hi Khazidhea,
I can tell for sure that it is NOT NORMAL that your phone drains about 7 to 8% of battery life each hour !
Especially if you disconnect Wi-Fi and BT.
The only thing I can think of, is that you are in an area where the phone constantly switches from 3G to 4G to get on the network.
Of course, if you have 2 SIM cards in that phone, that may increase the drain significantly...
I think that if you are on Cyanogen, there is an option in Settings that is called "SIM Cards".
If you select that option, you should be able to have some access to settings for each SIM Card.
Try to select one and look for the option called "Preferred Network" and select something like "WCDMA" or "GSM" (that is 2G in the US and 2G in Europe).
See if that improves...
As far as I am concerned, I run my Xiaomi mi5 with a ROM called "Tipsy-OS" that I have compiled myself...
So far, I am unplugged since 2 hours, have used the phone with 4G, BT, Wi-Fi, automatic updates of apps, mail retrieving, applied themes via substratum... and lost 2%.
So no, 8%/hour without doing anything is NOT NORMAL !
Regards.
I finally ended up fixing this. Simply changing the setting "Preferred network type" from 4G to 3G made my battery usage change from about 2/3 of a day, to up to 4 days, with my typical pattern of usage. Note that when my battery was being drained before I did not have data turned on, so not sure why that ended up being the fix.

If 4G coverage is bad in your area, it will trigger reconnection over and over again, causing battery drain. The protocol itself is indeed more battery consuming in general, but shouldn't have much gap with 3G under the same coverage quality.

seems mine 1-2%per hour all sync on, wifi.

I can confirm same here LOS airplane mode = 0am till 6am 100% to 98 or 97 % so at max decrease a 1/2% an hour.
In a non-airplane mode with WiFi connected I get a bit more than 1%/h with greenify activated.
I posted in another thread but i've got no answer.
I decided to switch to Global Dev ROM thinking it might solve my battery issues, but it only got worse, im getting around 40% battery drain overnight. Any ideas???? I don't have mi sync enabled, google play is set to not auto-update apps, i barely use mobile data, so only wifi.

Official Global Dev, so i noticed that "Lite Messenger Facebook" was draining the battery like h3ll, i uninstalled it and now i've been using my phone for an entirely day browsing/email/duolingo and half battery has gone, the way it is going i will have to charge every 2 days or so. In the meantime i might just use facebook messenger through the browser.
Although Global Dev is fine, there are some bugs and MiFit does not want to sign in, i might go back to Global Rom when 8.2 comes out to Mi5.
Thank You!

Does the Verizon version of the Galaxy S III have worse battery life than the other carriers' versions. So far I have had pretty poor battery life with my phone. I have had it since Friday the 6th. Since then I have gone through multiple charge and discharge cycles. I've been averaging about 8 - 10 hours of life, with about 2 to 2.5 hours of screen time. I use the phone for about an hour of browsing the web in the morning, on the train to work, then another hour on the way back. While I am at work I turn off the mobile data and WiFi. I basically only use it to check text messages. In that time It'll still drain about 5 to 10 percent per hour. I have already reset my phone to factory settings. It also seems to act normally up till about 70 percent, then it starts to drop really fast. I want to maybe get another battery from the store, but as the phone hasn't even been released yet I'm not sure what my luck would be. Has anyone else been having better results if not similar problems? Does this seem like an issue that could be solved by replacing the batter, or would a replacement new phone be needed to fix this?
Replacement battery
It seems that Verizon cannot give out any replacements until the in store launch on Thursday at the earliest.
AT&T seems to be pretty horrible. Have you tried CPU Sleeper by eugene373?

I have not tried that, but I have tired standard things such as Juice Defender Ultimate and what not. The biggest thing to me is that even when I turn off mobile data and wifi, it still starts to drain rapidly after about 70 percent. I will be at about 70 percent at 4:00 pm and by 7:00 i'll be at 10 percent with 30 min usage during that time frame, with only on LTE during that 30 minutes.
I have had 4G on all the time, and unplug it at 6am and it has lasted me quite easily until 10-11pm (down to about 10%). I have all data sync on, send approx 100 text a day, play a few games daily, read forums, Google reader, stream music and tethering as well.
I would contact Verizon support. It may be just as simple as a new battery. As of right now I still have 41% left and that will last me the night.
edit: I am also not using any battery saving apps like juice defender or turn off mobile networks either.

Ya, I did and they said I could come in and get a new battery tomorrow, so we will see how much that helps. I just hope I don't have to get a replacement phone because more or less likely the new one will be refurbished. Plus I hate wasting screen covers.
If it is under 30 days they will usually replace with a new phone. That has been in my experience. this happened with my Fascinate when I first got it.

Is it worth trying to just get a new battery first. Or should I just go straight for the phone replacement?

Coming from the rezound, 2-2.5 hours is amazing battery life!
Honestly, it may just be the battery. Try that first, and if it still fails, then return the device. Just remember that Verizon only does 1 free battery during the warranty period.
you guys need to debloat...the problem is the 100 apps that verizon preinstalled has many backgorund services running.
After debloating I went 27hrs w/ 3hrs screen on, 2hrs talk time, and still had 17% percent battery left...like a BOSS!!!
i'm amazed at verizon's battery life. i have an AT&T one and after 6 hours of use and 2 hrs screen time, mine was at 53%. my girlfriends was at 53% with 13 hours of use and 1 hrs 14 min screen time. i cant figure out why.
My room mate has one from AT&T and he can get about 20 hours till 20 percent, with 4 hours of screen time. Not to mention making phone calls and what ever else he does on it during the day. My battery life seems normal in the morning. The only reason I want to get it replaced is that at about 70 percent it'll start dropping rapidly even if I don't touch it during that time.
take a min and go through all the settings in the phone that you think might effect battery life and if you don't use it that often, shut it off. also, disable the apps you don't want/use in application manager. i have about 24 apps frozen, smart stay off, motion off, brightness at 1/3, email sync set to manual, location services off, facebook sync and notifications off, bluetooth off, wifi off, menu/back lights off, heptic feedback off. i can't remember what else but yesterday i unplugged it at 430am with normal use throughout the day (numerous email, facebook, play store use, texting, hr worth of phone call) and this morning at 6am i was at 9% battery left (this was in 4G). Id say that is pretty good! i am very pleased with the battery life with this phone! everyones battery life is going to be different with all the combinations of settings that can be different.

Which apps, did you freeze? Also I just got the new battery so I'll give it a day or so and see what happens.
Is this normal? My screen on time is about 1 hr and 20 min... Not sure if this is good or bad. Yesterday I only got about 6 hrs with around 2 hrs of screen on time.

I am not rooted either as of now, I am kind of waiting to see if they find a bootloader work around. I disabled most of those apps, plus I picked up a new battery around mid day. The only other thing I have noticed is that the phone oddly seems to charge better while on then off, where as my DINC was the complete opposite.
Hi,
I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.
My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.
This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.
The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.
Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.
The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.
Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?

What kind of battery I do not know - I did not change anything on this phone and as far as I know the battery can not be removed. I bought the phone in early January 2014, it was one of the cost to be delivered and still had the previous android version (4.3?) back then.

Go to developer Options in settings and if you do not have this option then go to About Phone and tap 5 times on Build Date or number (should be last one) then go to "PROCESS STATS" which is under "ENABLE BLUETOOTH HCI SNOOP LOG" and when you are at process stats click on the three dots on top right and change the duration for 1 day and then you might be able to find the application that is running in the background constantly, mine is Facebook lol and Facebook Messenger....

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.

Just search wakelock detector on Play store and it should be the first application there. The qcamera2factory is a wakelock inside of the "Media Server" wakelock. Check how long your device has been on for and how much screen on time you have and compare to how long you have had deep sleep, if you have like 10 hours of on time and 1 hour of screen on time you should have about 9 hours of Deep sleep, if it is anything weird like 1 hour or 2 hours then you have something preventing your phone from deep sleeping.

Hmm... No app like that (Skype etc.) is running on my phone. Could it be the camera app itself? Never had any issues with that before though.
My phone is not rooted. I just want to use it in place and not think about it too much. Researching which is the best path to root for Moto G was to mich for me back when I bought it and I have been happy with it or if the box - so far...
here was my stats after one night. kernel wakelock
CPU wake lock
in kitkat, wakelock policy was changed and you cant clearly see any system wakelock without root (i have tried many apps like wakelock detector and there is nothing to see in compare with Jelly Bean 4.3)
i had this annoying battery idle drain - it happened randomly, sometimes battery ran 7 days with light usage of phone but sometimes 30-40% was gone in 24 hours = 1-2%/h
i didnt have any apps installed like Skype, Facebook, or any other "keep awake" app - i also set up my gps, wifi settings, nothing helped
i also switched to ART runtime..again, didnt help
i decided to switch back to factory Jelly Bean 4.3 - you CAN flash stock ROM without unlocking bootloader (im locked without root) and now im running 4.3 with battery drain 0,1-0,4%/h in idle...battery life is now amazing - final battery drain is always ~0,6%/h (light usage)
im charging my phone from 30% to 80% and now it enough for 3 days ! for my 6h night it is only 1-3%
in background i have 3 apps running for battery monitoring (battery hd, batterydrain [analyser], gsam battery monitor) and few schedule apps...i disabled unnecessary apps like motocare and few other google/motorola apps
yes, im missing better alarm (kitkat), better RAM (now i have 60-100MB less...but if 380MB free or 460MB free...it doesnt matter for me) and some other little things that everything i can handle for MUCH MORE BETTER battery :good:
Mine drains 10% when it's in plane mode per hour...
But others days can last longer for at least 8-9 hours of screen time.
Is your phone running hot? I've had a problem with some custom kernels that caused my phone to run hot and drain fast without any visible signs.
this is after some time. im concerned by the second one on the list because it has Wheelock's at the end of name and it has x1441
I just rooted the thing and installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor. Now I'm down to 0,3-0,4%/h. That is fine for me.
It is a bit sad that it had to come to this but that is how the world works these days, I guess. Isn't it amazing how mch technology we can fit in these small packages?
0,3-0,4%/h is amazing !
im on 0,34%/h as final result now (BatteryDrain [Analyser])
yesterday i ended 5 days cycle on 53% battery i charged to 82% then with very light usage i need to charge after 5 full days (120 hours) on 29% (= no idle battery drain)
this idle battery drain is not hardware related, its issued by (stupid) KitKat - i really dont believe that it will be fixed in any next release (4.4.x or 5)
im enjoying JellyBean 4.3 much more than KitKat - all you need is flash stock system image WITHOUT unlocking bootloader/root/losing your warranty
Hi guys as per title, my OPO drain battery like crazy during deep sleep. Like I unplugged at 1am (100%) then today I wakeup 10am now it left (89%) only, drained 11%!!! WiFi, Data all off just normal standby only.
Is there something wrong with my OPO? Because before that it only drained 1-2% with the same deep sleep duration.
No wakelock, awake or whatever, probably the battery faulty already? I just got it 1 month ago only, how could be so fast???

I think I found the culprit. Disabling double-tap to wake the battery won't drain anymore.

How come your phone sleeps? Did you patch the Google Services 'Always awake' bug yourself?
Same thing is happening to me except it's more severe. I'm not sure if it's because I put it onto airplane mode or not. Lost 25% overnight and phone was completely dead...
BTW I disabled quiet hours and I've done the disabling of the Google framework update thing and wake lock.

Nope. You can go to Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > Advance Settings > Choose Google Play Services and selec Keep Awake > Denied.

Try turn off double-tap to wake?
I need double tap to wake though... ? just now I left the phone idle and not doing anything dropped 1% over two hours with wifi on no airplane mode...
Seems like the drain is random?

I have a "similar" drain problem, but it's different :cyclops:
Stock CM11s is really fine, i lose 0.2% or 0.3% per hour onernight in flight mode (or without simcard)
But all variant of Nightlies, Slim, Mahdi... I can't get descent battery life.
Still near 1% per hour, too much for me !
It's probably not a rom related problem, but perhaps a GApps drain problem.
I usually have BaNks GApps, latest minimal ones.
I must do a test, fresh flashing a custom rom, without GApps to isolate problem, to see drain without Google services.
Is there a tasker option for it, i dont want to turn off and on tap to wake ^^
here is my drain disabled all google play services on the screen shot an hour has been drained look at the shots awake and screen on time
Just an update, after following two threads about disabling the google services it seems to finally work. So it has nothing to do with double tap. Dropped one percent over 7 hours
With airplane mode on. No drain. Will try again tonight to make sure it's not just luck.

I went into privacy guard and denied everything for Google play services apart from location and it deep sleeps well. With no noticeable downsides to my Google apps.

DoubleTap is a hardware feature, so it can't drain battery.

Huh? That's like saying the screen is a hardware feature so it can't drain battery. It's incorrect. The double-tap to wake feature is heavily dependant on the kernel, and in some circumstances can (and has been proven to) drain battery.

The implementation is supposed to be done right on the oneplus but nevertheless I'll try disabling it again. In fact all gestures. Even on the m7 with a more hacky wake features, I never saw more than 5% drain overnight.
I run about 3 different tools to ensure my battery is used the way i want it.
1. Greenify - this will hibernate and auto hibernate apps when not in use. I also use the Xposed to boost it more with experimental features.
2. Wakelock Detector - Almost a must if you are having drain issues. This app will tell you the culprit each time
3. Titanium Pro - Freeze crap that wont go away.
I had the play services issues before. I went to my settings -> accounts -> sync options for each and toggled off the play store. I also went into apps/play services and cleared data/cache. I remember it didn't go away entirely and I found that Google + was one of the issues. That and I had a sync error that wouldn't go away. After removing my google accounts and re attaching them, i monitored with wakelock.
After that it went away. I then had a calendar drain with calendar storage from a widget that woke up a beast. Greenified it, froze it and that is gone while not affecting my calendars.
Anways, point of my post is to advise you to run those 3 apps. If you only run 1, wakelock is fantastic. I highly recommend all.
Very good tips from @tehpud .. to add onto it
BetterBatteryStats and Gsam are two other good wakelock detecting apps.

OK guys so I have a serious issue with the battery not charging at nights, when I plug my phone in. I frequently wake up to a hot phone with only 35% charge and it's been on the charger for 8+hours.
I have a strong feeling this has something to do with it being on airplane mode... Which by the way I have done for years at bed time with no issues until recently.
I need some help with this because I can't figure it out.
Here are my better battery stats from boot when I wake up and it's still on the charger. (Please note I can't do it from unplugged as the issue is charging)

your wakelocks have nothing to do with it not charging, check your usb chord or charger(use a different chord and charger). when your plugged in, does it say AC or USB?
It says AC and my charging cord is perfectly fine.
LOOK at the battery stats man, it's 2.27GHz while phone is supposed to be sleeping.
In the stats I've posted is the issue, I just need help to figure out which part
Partial WakeLocks audioIn. Maybe with the new Google now has WakeLocks on airplane mode trying to fetch data??
yea, and 55% is way to high. its normal to wake for a minute here and there, but 55% is extreme. reboot your phone, it looks like a stuck process.
Not sure bout the n5 but other phones I've had stay awake whilst charging not deep sleep.
Obviously something is wrong here but I can't see that no deep sleep is the cause.

Took a nap again. While sleeping:
what rom/kernel are you using? havevyou considered a factory reset?
Unusual issue for sure. I'd just fastboot stock on it, and see how it is before installing anything. Rule out hardware. ?
Purity ROM/code blue kernel.
It's certainly not hardware issue because my phone has gained 3-4% in the last 5 minutes while checking this forum and replying to this msg. After a fresh restart with the phone still plugged in, sometimes that gets past the issue.
It has something to do with airplane more and charging I think..although it also wasn't getting past 0% while using phone earlier today without airplane mode.... :s
I'm gonna do have to do a wipe and fresh install of ROM and Kernel
So full wipe and reinstall ROM and Kernel. Problem still exists.
Wakelocks are coming from
Google Search/AudioIn primarily.
I have "ok google" enabled from any screen including lock screen. This may have something to do with it however what's the point in making this a option with Google Now if you can't even charge your phone above 40%.. Due to constant wakelocks..
Either that or it has something to do with Google now trying to use data in combo with AudioIn when airplane mode is on

Clearly.. Understood. I know what it does man..
But if one can't charge their phone with an 1.2A AC adapter during the night over an 8h period.. is this really a viable option to use "OK google" from any screen??
Others with this option enabled are you experiencing charing issues?
Doesn't this phone have a "sub processor" used for this type of activity in order to avoid full CPU usage?
It's using the top CPU freq and I've been trying to figure out this issue for a few weeks now.

Honestly, is it really a useful option to use in the first place, other than for showing off?
The low-powered core in the Nexus 5 is used for a hardware pedometer (ask Google why) rather than for audio listening or music playing capability. Unlocking/modifying it's capability would be diving into legal ramifications without permission. Hence why it uses a wakelock, which in turn makes it useless unless you don't care about battery at all.

I'm not the one to tell you that since I've had it entirely disabled since day one.
It could be that the AudioIn wakelock that Google Search is using also wakes Google Play Services, which then wakes your device even more. Looking at your screenshots in the first post, Google Play Services woke your device "619 times over 13hrs 39mins, 45.3 per hour".
Although not a solution, but using some kind of quiet hours app may appease your need for airplane mode

People that just love this Google now any screen issue are going to have to just accept it's a battery hog. Or get a moto X and have this feature even when the screen is off. No wakelocks and no real battery drain.
As far as having trouble charging, one solution is turning the feature off, charge the phone, then turn it on again.
Google puts features like this out cause of a demand... And they probably don't care if it's hard on the battery. People wanted it and they gave it to them.

So currently I'm using my new xperia z5.. It's one week already since i have this phone. I noticed that my phone drain battery real quick.. It's quite make me sad. But the good thing is when i wanted to charge it.. It charge so fast.. Like maybe 30 minutes for 40% increase.. And btw
... I want u guys to help me how i can fix my problem cause i love using my phone as a gaming device and browsing and other stuff, it is like my 24 hours non stop without using it .. I knew i was a beginner in android thing.. Please guys help me..
Am i supposed to factory reset it or anything i could do?? And Btw I'm using the UCH20 ( i read in the sony that itsn't quick charging) but I'm happy with the charging though..
It is fast.. But also fast to drain
Please guys help me D':
Go to Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage to see what is using your battery the most. If you want more help, I would advise you to take a screenshot of that page and post it here. With me, it's normally Chrome or the Screen.
Could you please post your screen on time? You can tap on screen to see what it is.
He said 30 minutes CHARGING for 40% increase...
Anyway, I can't even get my Quick Charger to perform that well so maybe OP should let the battery discharge fully and then charge fully to maybe calibrate the battery.

Oops. Didn't read correctly. Also are you using the charger that came out of the box? I don't think that is quick charge.
Maybe try using a normal charger instead of a quick charger? I don't use quick charge and normally get 4-5 hours SOT.
UCH20 is a "normal" charger. UCH10 is the Sony Quick Charge one but doesn't come with every Z5.

What about auto sync,and location settings too. Those have an impact on battery drain also. I leave auto sync off,and havw location on battery save mode. It helps. I came from a z3 which had awesome battery life, but I totally agree here about the z5's battery. Hope marshmallow helps.
Will anybody perform a reset after the new marshmallow?
Is it needed?

Your welcome. Ok, go into settings, accounts,and then top right press the 3 dot menu and itshould be there,if it's on it should be checked,just Un check it.
I use an app for toggles called power toggles,and in this app there is a manual sync all button. So when I want to sync(primarily to sync Gmail) I can just press it,and my mail shows up. I could also just go to Gmail and slide screen down to sync.
Hope this helps.

That's so true.. It happens to me either. Now i think that Sony phone is quite disappointing for now.. and at the end i hope that they fix this asap next year :3
Make sure wifi scanning even when wifi is off is turned off and put location settings on battery saving (mobile network and wifi only).
Also switch to 2g when not using internet. Switch to 2G voice and text only.
Then you can add a mobile data and 4g toggle on the quick setting toggles and when you want internet press 4g then mobile data, then when finished press mobile data toggle and then turn 4g off and it will go back to 2g.
You should also check in google account that anything you don't need syncing like google music, books, games etc is not syncing.
Fast chargers work fine and won't impact battery life short term. I get 5hours SOT using Galaxy S6 fast charger.
