My poco gets really slow when battery is under 10%. Anyone having this issue? I haven't activated battery saver or anything, and still the phone looks like it's reducing its performance
My photo doesn't becomes laggy instead if I am running some games the game becomes laggy when battery goes below 5%. I think it's normal. And it's a feature to save battery.

You should never allow your battery to be that low. You are ruining your phone

Hi folks - this is the first thread I have started, hence requesting the non-noobs to go easy on me... (this forum is a scary-kind-of-cool)
I mustered up the courage to install Infused 1.5.0 on my stock... the instructions were superb and everything went great... really enjoying the improved speed and looks. But my battery life has degraded. It has been more than a week since I flashed my phone - and it is only getting worse. Now I have read a lot about how Infused is getting great battery life for some folks... and i have gone through those threads, trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. This is my typical usage profile
1) I put the phone on charging before I go to sleep... when I wake up (around 7 AM) it is fully charged.
2) I quickly check overnight messages, finish the daily ablutions, and 30 min later when I check the phone it is already at 95%.
3) By 10 AM, I have made a few long phone calls (no bluetooth) (totalling 60-90 minutes) - and the battery is down to 75%
4) At work I use a bluetooth A2DP headset - maybe 30-40 min of calls and by 12 I am at 50%.
5) More calls in the afternoon, intermitted mail checking and sometimes 30-40 minutes of music streaming on my bluetooth headset - and by 6 PM my phone is down to critical level 12-15%.
This is in now way the same experience that others are having with the Infused ROM and with the Infuse phone in general.
Other points:
6) I run Juice Defender... (don't know if it helps)
7) My screen brightness is just a few notches over 0%
8) My data is always on - except when I am using Wifi of course
9) I turn bluetooth off when I am not using it
So that's the story guys... and I would eternally grateful if the awesome folks out here can help me figure out what I am doing wrong... or there is some logic behind the sad battery life of what is otherwise the best phone that I have ever owned.
It depends how long Infused has been running on your system. After about 3 days I noticed my phone was adjusting to the ROM and the battery life improved significantly. Aside from that, try this trick. Drain your battery next to nothing and then charge all the way. Do this a couple of times. Not quite sure about the logistics but it seems to work. Another thing that has improved my battery life is to make sure I don't have background apps running. You can check this by going into apps > manage apps > and then running. Sometimes Media Hub will begin a background process and that eats up a whopping 8 MBs alone. Force close these pointless background apps and you should see an improvement there as well.
have you conditioned the battery and reset battery stats?

Thanks popesmasseuse (you really aren't are you?)... the ROM has been running now for a week... gets worse rather than better. I do typically wait for my battery to drain completely before I charge it... but when I do have to do it at 7 PM - then I can never charge it fully, before I have to start using it again. I wonder if the fact that my phone goes through "micro charges" is a reason for my declining battery life...
Will check the running apps... and see if closing them improves things... thanks!
Fact: Installing a ROM greatly improves battery life... Try it....
Turn of GPS and Bluetooth when not in use.
Same here I uninstalled media hub... period... just useless...
Phone calls are a pretty heavy battery drain. Sounds like you're in call for hours each day. Most people don't talk on the phone more than a few minutes a day. Poor signal will also significantly reduce your battery life... how many bars you usually have at work?
My battery life got better the longer I had the infused ROM. But personally I only talk on the phone maybe a total of an hour each day, but I am constantly using internet and youtube, and if I have spare time I'm using my Kindle app to read some books. I keep my GPS, sync, and wifi on all day long and my brightness all the way up (I just can't stand a dim screen lol) and by the time I got home today my battery was at 40%, which I am perfectly fine with.

Ah...the man himself.
Yes I talk a lot on the phone - nature of the job. 3 hours minimum in a day. Signal at home is terrible - 15% strength... that could be the reason why the battery runs dry after the morning routine. Any way to offset that?
At work signal is great. But in office I also tend to use my desk phone more...

How does one do that?

Read the thread in my sig.
Never use task killers.
For me, battery life on phones gets good after about 2 weeks or so.
With light to medium use I can easily go for 2+ days.
Consider not streaming music through Bluetooth. Also don't auto sync stuff every 15 mins. If you can use Gmail they use Push notification. I'm on my phone all day literally and I make it home with some battery left. BTW connect to a Wi-Fi when ever possible, 3g data streaming will kill your battery quick.

has anyone tried this method?
It's a Lithium-Ion battery which means it does NOT respond to "conditioning".
"Reconditioning a battery involves completely discharging the energy from a battery then recharging the
battery. Li-Ion batteries do not require reconditioning to maintain good battery performance since Li-Ion
does not have a memory effect. It is necessary to complete drain and then recharge a Li-Ion battery in
order to determine its current capacity level, but that is not the same thing as reconditioning the battery. Li-
Ion batteries do not have a condition that needs to be reconditioned." lxe.com

Keiht's tutorial is effectively a technique called "bump charging" for putting that last extra percent or two of charge into a battery. However - with Li-Ion batteries, charging like this will SEVERELY reduce their charge cycle lifetime.
The only thing that "calibration" should affect is how your device reports battery charge level, NOT actual power usage. You should get the same total battery life whether your device is "calibrated" or not, with the exception possibly of the device shutting off prematurely because it thinks the battery is lower than it really is.

I would have to agree with you. I followed his directions as i was having horrible battery issues after going to 1.5.0 and it seems to have helped the reporting as far as I can tell. I think the big problem and it is only a guess is how the phone is reporting the battery condition not actual battery left. In any event I am running JD and the longer I run with 1.5.0 the battery seems to be lasting a lot longer but I have ti disable most everything which hobbles the phones best features to get that battery life still searching for the perfect solution.
Hello, this is how my battery life looks like.
So, battery, when it charges, goes up smoothly up to about 50 percentage mark. Then, the rate of charge slows dramatically, followed by a huge surge at the end. As soon as I unplugged my phone, however, the battery drops significantly, and I end up losing battery even as the battery is charged.
Any idea what has happened? I see no significant wake lock (I have no idea what the application says it's active), signal is high and sync is turned off. Is it a hardware issue? Corrupted battery stat?
I am running CM 11 Milstone 12, and the battery is a ZeroLemon extended battery.

Sounds like the battery or possibly the charging port is going bad. Those are really the only two I can think of
Sent from my Nexus 5
Recently my phone discharges extremely quick. It can go from 100% to 0% in less then 6 hours without any heavy usage. It is LG G5 with stock ROM (just rooted) and I have a spare battery. Both discharge so fast, so I don't think the battery is responsible for it.
Sometimes I notice that while wearing the phone in my pocket, it gets quite hot and battery went down by 20% in just a few minutes. If I look at the battery stats in system settings, it show the battery was mainly used by Android and phone stand-by.
How can I find out what was the real case of the problem? I guess because the phone is so hot, some app (or process) was causing that the CPU to work at high frequency a caused the drain. How could I identify what really is the problem? I even tried Greenify or Force Doze to eliminate the problem but with no success. How can I identify, what's wrong and what is causing the overheating and battery drain?
Thank you.
A few days after upgrading to android 10, my battery life has literally been cut in half. What's weird is that the battery management in settings shows pretty normal drains, but when added up it's 43% drain but my battery is at like 20%. What could be causing this?
Edit: also worth noting that when I woke up this morning the phone felt hot to the touch, which it hadn't before

Mine was the same until a few reboots and seems fine now
Strange observation, but one I noticed on my Pixel 2XL before as well. My 3a seems to drain faster down to say 88-89% from 100 than it does for the rest of the charge. I get about 40 minutes of SOT from the first 10-12%, which isn't great. But then overall I still average 7 hours of SOT over a full charge.
Anyone else noticed this?
Also, does adaptive battery reduce or increase battery? I've had it on since I got the phone, just turned it off to see if it makes any noticeable difference.

Yes I do... Remember the phone is just 3000mah ?

Yes, it does and gets better with time. It takes a month or more (depending on your number of apps) to learn how often you use your apps and limit apps you don't use often.
Run a battery benchmark that drains the battery and observe the battery percentage during the process. It should be linear.
If it's not, then the most logical explanation is that the battery is not properly calibrated.

And to calibrate - drain to 0%, then charge to 100%, drain to 0% again and then back up to 100%?

Yes i have same issue,but now I'm used to it i guess it is a similar reason why iOS lasts so longer in range of 100-80 and then starts dropping faster i.e company wants user to feel like battery is lasting longer(iOS) and on pixel the battery stays longer in 80-30 region. Not sure about it just my theory about weird optimization by companies.
