Hi folks,
since some days my battery drives me crazy...
Last week i flashed CM10 by nk111. Nice ROM, but my battery lasted only for some hours with normal usage. So I went back to MIUI...problem stayed.
Yesterday I flashed Jellytime and replaced the battery. The problem stayed as well. At 6 pm battery was full, I restored my apps with Titanium, used it a bit and when I was going to bed at 10 p.m. battery was 81%. Getting up at 5:30 this morning --> battery was 41%.
After the battery was full yesterday night I used display for maybe 10 minutes, why there are 36% battery usage by th display?
WTF happened to my system by flashing CM10 by nk111???
Any help is appreciated!
PS:
Baseband-Version: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310
Kernel-Version: 3.0.50-g6ea80e4
First, do you have Google now on. It really drains the battery. If that doesn't help install better battery stats and let it go through a couple of cycles, it will help you pinpoint if any apps or wakelocks are draining your battery.

I don't use Google Now. I use the same apps withe the same intensity than in better battery times...
Could you please give me a recommendation for a battery stats tool?
Thanks!

Use the search, you'll find it in both xda and playstore it's called better battery stats

U have an app or something that is running when screen is off.
Find the app and del it.

app called carat could also help you find the battery sucking thing. It's a bit more simple than battery stats, you'll like it if you're not an expert.
it doesn't need to be a new app that is sucking power, it could be the poorly made update of some app that you're using for a long time.
I installed both apps.
But in both I can't find any kind of statistics about consumed power by apps or something similar, am I that stupid?

Bbs needs to run for at least a full battery cycle to give you a clear picture, if recommend running it for at least a day

I get max 24 hours battery life , sometimes 12 hours , so it's not something to worry. If you speak 2-3 hours and WiFi on another 2-3 hours that is the battery în my case 12 hours max.

IT IS something to worry, cause battery behaviour changed dramatically while I didn't change my usage of the phone.
40% battery loss over night should be a clear indication of abnormal behaviour.

you must run carot a day or two, than it will display some apps on the first page and the approximate battery life you get if you kill them. read the manual also..
Yesterday in the evening I realized a 96% entry in the Partial Wavelocks section - AndroidMediaScanner. I freezed it (I know where my pictures and music is located...), did a full load on the battery and for 4 hours the battery remained at 100%. I really thought the problem is solved...but in the morning...31%
But - the 'Media' entry in the android accu stats is gone, I think this is a partial success.
In the BBS app, there is no remarkable value - the biggest is 3,8%.
When I watch the graphs - WiFi and Awake is nearly completetly blue over the whole night (unfortunately, I can't take screenshots right now for any reason).
I'm a bit helpless right now, will charge the phone now and keep an eye on BBS the next hours/days.
androidmediascanner shouldn't be the bad guy, it's a system app that we all have. maybe your battery is the problem...

I inserted a new battery last week without any change. Don't think both batteries are broken.
The common way to solve this is to do a fresh install. Leave it for a day without any apps yo see if it is ROM related. See if the battery life improve. Install one app per day and monitor your phone awake period with screen on, it should be almost same.

Yesterday night I made a full wipe, installed Jellytime and Gapps and went to sleep...
In the morning --> 67%.
Very odd, normally this would probably indicating a defect battery, but it is new!
Maybe a hardware defect?
Maybe RRU Problem?
Hi,
I have a similar problem here. I was using the desire s for a long timne with stock rom (2.x android), a full battery was enough for ~2 days. Then I rooted the device and installed CM10 (NK111 alpha build).
2 things changed:
The battery is empty after 24h or less.
The wireless network is worse than before. This is my subjective impression but there are places at home or in the office where wifi worked before and stopped working.
I'm starting excessive tests (disabling everything, removing apps, running carat) during xmas holidays to find the reason.
My guess what it might be: to root the device I did a downgrade, including a radio downgrade. Now I run baseband 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11 which is known as "Saga Test RUU" and has the lowest version number of the RRUs listed in the forum. I did not found anything about this in the forum or with google but maybe this is the reason.
My average battery stats with normal use (whole day, used the phone a few minutes):
~30% Display
~25% Wifi
~17% Mobile Standby
~5% Android Os
For comparison, my Motorola Defy has in a similar scenario ~5% Wifi and ~3% Mobile Standby
Hello all!
I recently received my OnePlus One and have had it for about 5 days now. I love the phone, but I seem to be having a problem with my battery. I've only been able to squeeze about 3 hours from this phone. Coming from a Note 2 (which also has a 3100 mah battery) I was expecting to get about 6-7 hours of screen on time. Could I have a defective battery? My screen is only at about 25%-30% brightness most of the time.
I attached a screenshot of my battery life. Thanks!

Can you post the complete battery graph, maybe wakelocks draining the battery... If not then seems like I also have the same problem. Not doing anything but it drained 11% of my battery.

I've charged my phone since this so I don't have the graph anymore. However, I notice that by battery drains 1-2% per hour on standby.
Your screenshot shows absolutely nothing. Your battery is not defective. You obviously have wakelocks that are preventing your phone from deep sleeping.
You need to show:
- Wakelocks (Partial Wakelocks, CPU, etc)
- Overall battery stats
I wouldn't be surprised if its Google Play Services.

Well those screenshots don't really help now since you charged your phone. When you charge your phone your previous battery stats are dumped and new stats start to appear since you've unplugged.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-basics-101-understanding-wakelocks-xda-developer-tv/
In simplest terms, its a app on your phone that is preventing your phone from entering a deep sleep mode. So even though your screen is off, a app on your phone is keeping your phone awake as if the screen is on not allowing the phone to enter a deep sleep mode (very conservative on battery).
Can you download GSAM Battery Monitor and look at the info that gives you? And which ROM are you on?
Check if your "Ok Google" turned on, i had mine turned on and it was draining my battery as it was not letting my phone to sleep.
Google Search -> Menu -> Google Hotword detection
And yes Double Tap to Wake might also be another one .

I have used BBS and GSAM before, but I think GSAM is better. However, in the latest update some of the menu options have changed names.
Could you explain what each one is for? I can see Kernel Wakelocks, which one is 'Partial Wakelocks' now? Should I be looking at any of the other tabs?

In Gsam, click the vacuum icon on the bottom left of the screen. This will tell you which apps are using the most battery. You can then click on an app from there and see what exactly it's doing. When your battery gets low, see what comes up as draining a lot of your battery and post back.
As to partial wakelocks, idk. Let's just see what is draining your battery.
I prefer Wakelock Detector. Gsam is not too bad though. I just prefer the simplicity of wakelock detector

OK so I have let my phone run without charging all day and here are the stats. I could only get 3 hrs. of screen time...pretty crappy.

I get almost close to 6 hours of screen ontime , but yes most of the stuff like GPS / NFS is turned off when im not using it ..
Like i mentioned did you try to turn off the " OK google " stuff , i had experience of it waking up device quite often and draining my battery, try turning them off ...
Other place to look out for what is walking up your device most of the time and deny them the access to wake up your phone , to hunt those apps , check
settings -> privacy -> privacy guard -> menu -> advanced -> device tab .
I found my facebook app / google play services was constantly waking up my device when on sleep , i denied "keep awake" to boost some more battery life ...

Check on what's keeping your GPS on all the time. My GPS is left on, but when I'm looking at my battery stats for the past 24 hours and it's maybe 3 or 4 slivers where the GPS actually turned on for a moment when I used an app to find my location.
Hi to every one,
I have mate 9 (MHA-L29C185) before was in B126 and I got OTA update to B138.
before the battery life was amazing and sometimes lastest 2 days without charging but now after said update I am charging the battery every single day with the same usage as before!
could anyone please advise WHY?
No difference here after the update, or if there is it's too small to notice. I'm still getting two full days of use.
Were your battery saving settings changed by the update?
Have you added any new apps?
I had the same experience but it's been getting better. I'm still not back to 10h SOT but I can easily reach 8-9 so all's good.
I assume that after upgrading your device needs to reindex everything again and that might explain the poor battery life right after upgrading. My advice is give it a couple of days to settle down.

Please see my battery usage details & advice
Settings > Battery > Close Apps after screen lock.

Leave it run for a day.
I updated to the new update as soon as I took it out of the package. I was losing about 3% per hour even during deep sleep. I would go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 and be between 80 to 85%. My LG V20 lost a total of 1 to 2% overnight. I tried resetting the phone, playing around with settings and setting applications to close after screen lock. I then found out it was the wifi killing my battery. The next night with wifi off but data on I lost 1% overnight. Now I get about 2 full days on a charge and around 8 hours SOT.
Especially that WiFi+ sucks a lot of juice! I have it off.
Gents,
Yesterday night before I sleep, the battery was 98% I closed the mobile and went to the bed.
a morning I wake up, and the battery drain from 98% to 80% while it was STBY and no activity!
I check the consumer (see attached) and found mail was from hardware & software especially Android OS!
Please anyone can help? before I update to B138 the mobile was amazing and during the night might only drop 3-4% which is normal, not 18% now :crying::crying:
Have the same experience with 138, draining 20% over the night, my iphone 7 Plus placed side by side with the Mate 9 drains 1% over night. Have done a factory reset but still the same issue. And dont tell my to close all apps when powering down the screen - it is a smartphone and not a dumbphone. Did not buy it to kill all benefits with a smartphone and big battery
looks like some apps hogging your phone so cant go to sleep and by the looks of it wifi scanning is on which keeps the wifi module on while its off consumes more batter, also have a look at the apps with push notification or apps which run in he background. At battery management check the apps which close or not after screen lock.

Whatever they say the actualization for the B138 radically changed the battery consumption ..... up to B126 was fine.
I did not realize because in the changelog it said that it optimized the consumption of the battery, it really optimized for the worse .... huawei(Idiots) go to sleep because I should have corrected the problem, but they are sprinkling for customers, I'm going to sell mine and I do not want any more xinocas.

I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

Granted I'm not getting 10h SOT like I did back with B126 but I'm getting 8-9h now with B138 so no complaints here.
This model has been released only 2½ months ago and I've already seen 2 firmware upgrades. They're clearly active, I wouldn't sweat it.

If it get better or not after the update i don't really care cause in both firmwares i couldn't make the phone die in 1 day and that's what matter.
Hi everyone, i'm having this problem, where i just can't seem to get over 5 hours on screen time. It doesnt matter if im playing full blast games or just checking social networks from time to time, i just can't get it over 5 hours. The battery menu in settings just says that 30-40% battery is used by "mobile network standby" GSam however says that screen is 37%, phone radio 23% and apps 39%. In the apps menu it says that the biggest usage is from Kernel (android os) and android system. The phone is about a month or two old. My friend has a Huawei mate 10 pro, which has just 70 mah more than the u11 plus, but it seems like he is getting so much better battery life. Should my battery really be like this?

I have the same issue, after a hard reset always "mobile network standby" drain a lot my battery, I can't find any solution... Let me know if you resolve!
I noticed battery drain two times after round about 6 weeks. My solution in this case is to wipe cache from recovery, after that the drain was gone everytime. Tried a few other things too, nothing helps as good as the wipe....

Try to download gservicefix app in the play store and follow the instructions.
Also Force stop HTC Function Test under Settings - Apps & Notification - App Info - Show System.
It should help for few days. If the battery drain happened again, do the same thing again. I think it's a firmware bug until HTC updates the software.

Alright, thanks. Did both of these, except the HTC function test, because i don't have it. Will report back in a day or two.
Nothing really changed except for battery drain over night. Had like 14% loss over night, now its down to 4%, still cant get over 5h SOT.

The gservicefix is meant to fix battery standby drain. For SOT, it really depends on your use case. Mate 10 pro SOT is definitely better because it uses OLED display which is more battery friendly and only 1080 resolution (compared to 2k display on U11+). Still, you should get more than 5hrs SOT for moderate use. Try greenify and see if it helps.

Have you noticed that your phone does not last as long after an os update or just out of the blue? I've faced this issue countless times while changing roms, os versions or even between minor OS updates. After spending a good amount of time researching about possible causes for overnight standby battery drains, partial wakelocks seem to be one of the biggest offenders. The android developer website is a good resource to understand what partial wakelocks are. And as it turns out, you can figure out the app holding the partial wakelock and draining your precious battery without root or any changes to the bootloader/rom. Here we go:
Go to settings > battery and performance (poco f1 on miui) -> power usage ->Tap on the clock on the top right corner -> check if the awake field below the graph is a constant blue line. Or if the device has been awake a lot more than the time screen was on. Other roms also have this graphical view of battery stats under some other option. If the indicators for awake time aon matchre in sync, then this guide won't be able to help you any further. Otherwise move to step 2.
Install better battery stats xda edition from here. Follow the steps mentioned in this post for unrooted devices.
Open the better battery stats app on your phone and make sure the device is not charging. Lock your phone and let it sit for a few minutes.
Open the better battery stats app on your phone and check the CPU state view in dropdown at the top of the app. If percentage of deep sleep is lower than other states and you have not been using your phone a lot since it was last unplugged then the battery drain is real.
Next select the partial wakelock from the dropdown. If an app has a 100% time for wakelock ( duration unplugged = duration of wakelock ), then the app is the culprit. Either uninstall the app, or make sure the app does not have permissions to run in the background to avoid the battery drain.
I used the above steps to find out that MyAirtel app was holding a partial wakelock on PowerManager.wakelock all the time (even when it was not in background). Deleting the app fixed my battery drain which went from 10% per 8 hours to ~3% per 8 hours.
Hope this helps people resolve their battery drain issues.
So what happen if there's no partial wakelocks that's eating battery, but the batterylife is still subpar?

Check how many cycles of battery charges have happened. Battery is bound to degrade over time. You can follow this article to see how is your battery health.

Another way to do this using a USB charging monitor. To measure is to know but know what you measure!
A lot of mistakes I have seen on the internet is people checking the capacity the following way. They use the mAh that went into the phone. That is completely wrong since a batteries capacity in mAh is defined at the working voltage of the battery (3.7 or 3.8V) and not using the around 5V that the charger outputs. At QC voltages it will be even lower then!
The more correct way to measure a battery is to work in mWh (milli Watt hour) or the actual power going into the battery. With 'The more correct way' you must take into account that the charging circuit also takes a bit of the juice.
So in our case 3.8V and 4000mAh would result in 15.200mWh. So from 0 to 100% should result in around that value.
At this right moment I am checking mine after a year of use using the UM25C tester.
To be honest I am not really happy about the battery life since it drains about 2 to 3% per hour even during the nighttime on a Xiaomi.eu rom which even reinstalled from scratch to check if it helped.
My redmi note 5 pro is now on , and I bloody kid you not, 34% 6d 2h 3m, yes that is 6 days after I installed a clean rom. And yes, not really much use but still wifi active and a active sim card.
