[Q] dissapointing battery life on Paranoid Android Beta 5

I have kept the screen brightness at the lowest of the low, only turned on data when needed, and still my battery can't have more than 2:50 of screen on time before the battery dies (1%). I am assuming stock rom is most likely the best for battery life, but I require some custom features that only non-stock roms have. So what I am asking is, what else can I do to improve the battery, or what other roms have good battery life for Nexus 5
Thanks

Use better battery stats to identify wakelocks / wake ups etc

You also need to examine wakelocks and hungry apps...d/l and use a wakelock detector and try to forego the top 5 apps that waste the most. (eg. Facebook?)
Damn..beaten by rootSU again!

roms dont really have anything to do with battery life. kernels do somewhat, but to a point. battery life is mostly affected by how you personally set up your phone, what apps you chose to install, how you personally use your phone, and mainly the quality of your phone/data signal. remember, as many phone users as there are, as many different ways that people use their phones.

Ok. I have tried similar by disabling keep awake in app ops. Is that the same thing? I have used wakelock detector. THis is what I have:

Battery life thread for Galaxy S4 (All models). Upload yours now!

I have a Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S currently running Official 4.4.2 and only gets 3:30 mins of screen time on my phone. I lose around a percent of battery life every two hours. This is really terrible for me as it is very low compared to other S4 models considering I have the Snapdragon 800 processor, so it's supposed to have more efficient battery life, please post screen shots of your battery usage and screen time as well and the firmware you are currently running. Please indicate the specific model of your S4. Thanks!

Please post your updates, I'll be adding my screenshots soon.

Here are my screenies:

See the thread in my signature about battery life. See if any of those tips help you improve your battery life.

There is nothing wrong with your screen on time. 3h30m is normal. And losing 1% every 2h? Come on that's really good. That's like 8,3 days standby time.....

Thanks for the post, sir. What's your screen time and what model do you have. i'ma. Bit disappointed because in gsmarena's review, it says S4 is supposed to have 10 hrs of battery life while browsing the internet. And i'm only reaching about 30% of it!

I have an i9505. 10 hours browsing is impossible to achieve. Maybe they mean browsing with your screen off

Terrible battery life on Cyanogen 13

Flashed cm13 a few days ago and have been getting awful battery life. Usually on Chroma (ROM) I was getting 2-3 hours SOT, with CM13 I can barely get past 1.30hrs, it dies at 1hr. Is this normal or expected because its a nightly?
Thanks

You likely have high-power consumption features enabled. You may want to try another nightly but I have never noticed such a battery drain with CM nightlies or any other custom rom.
Did you compare the idle battery drain?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I flashed Hellscore Kernel and battery life is much better. I'm getting around 2-3hours SOT now. Thanks again

Glad to see that your SOT returned to normal but switching to another kernel shouldn't have a huge impact for your battery life (FYI).
There was probably something else, like wakelocks or bugs in CM kernel.

I have CM13 for aprox half year and last few days I have this terrible battery drain. Now I have cm-13.0-20160325-NIGHTLY. Its really annoying, have no wakelocks, batterystats says that most power is consumed by system and surfaceflinger. I dont know if I have to wait for another update or try to restore phone or what. Is there anybody else with the same problem?

Android oreo battery life decrease

Has anyone noticed a decrease in battery life after upgrading to Android (8.0) Oreo?
After updating the phone has decreased the durability in the battery, at least 35% less duration compared to Android nougat (7.1.2), even up to 50% less duration at times.
I have 2 devices, both TA-1025 and have the same situation, intense battery drain, just open the camera app and take 1 or 2 photos and reduce the battery by 6%.
Is someone else having the same problems in Nokia 6?

Unfortunately, but also I have it but on TA-1033. I used Oreo beta before and the battery lasted longer.
Wysłane z mojego TA-1033 przy użyciu Tapatalka

Did not notice any difference. Battery lasts 48-50 hours with my usage, approx 5h of screen time. I don't play games and don't shoot photos.
P.S. Tried shooting photos. Left camera open for 10 mins and was keeping screen awake by focusing and shooting, battery drained 3%.

Same here. I got the TA-1033 and after the oreo upgrade i noticed higher battery consumption. Use an app for a couple of minutes and battery is down by 2-3%. Tried to manage apps through battery management but not much happened.
Nice upgrade but the battery consumption is major problem. Made me look for ways to downgrade

If you haven't factory reset since taking Oreo you will have battery decrease. Factory reset and wait a day or two and it will be back to where it was.

There is 3 reason
1. random reboot
Means, if u notice that the btry is draining fast, just close all apps and reboot your device
2. Display DPI
means, there is three display option,
Small, normal and large
Make it normal so it will no longer drain faster
One more thing fixes, the response time of app when it is opened
3. Factory reset
If you upgraded your device nougat to oreo then must make a factory reset
This will help you
Hit thanks button if you find this useful
Happy flashing

I'm on Oreo February patch and for me battery is working fine.

Hi,
I experienced a big battery drain after upgrading the Nokia 6 TA-1033 to Oreo. A fully charged battery would completely discharge in 2 hours!
I downgraded by flashing Mena firmware back to Nougat 7.1
Same problem. So for me, it's a hardware component which is in fault. Most surprising is that this happens after an Oreo upgrade. Looks like the Oreo upgrade triggers a giant current leak, which is irremediable. That's why so many people experience this, even after a factory reset. So now I'm going to get informed on how this can be solved - or not - from hardware side.

Question Terrible Battery Life on XT2131-1 Model

My brand new Moto G Stylus 5G 2021 (the "Denver" model) has horrid battery life. It won't even last one day. This was the case out of the box on 11. I tried rooting on 11 and freezing apps, no change. Relocked bootloader and did OTA to 12. Running stock everything now and still no change. I'll return it if this can't be fixed but wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems and has a fix?

I have the same phone, my battery was lasting a day to a day & a half. Then it started getting hot & battery draining fast. I replaced the battery, the original battery was swollen & damaged. New battery hasn't helped with fast draining. My first Moto had a 3 day battery life, I wish I had not upgraded to this phone.

I get 5 days off 1 charge....

This really doesn't mean anything seeing as your usage isn't very high. Most phones can last over a week with that sort of usage
