Hi Guys,
I've been suffering from very severe battery run-down over the last few days. My battery lasts about 14 hours before it hits about 30%! I've got quite a few reg-tweaks and apps running and, as I have the phone running exactly how I like it, I'm trying to work out what could be causing the drain rather than doing a hard reset and starting again.
I'm using Battery Guard which is excellent but I'm a little unsure what a good initial reading is? When I start the program and the Draining/Charging bar settles (the program usually opens at 170mA or so) I get a stable reading of about 55-60mA. Is this too much or not? I'm pretty new to this program and doing some searches but I just though I'd ask in the forum if anyone else is using this program and, if so, what kind of reading they are getting? Any info would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
That is quite high. from the benchmark thread it seems that power draw bottoms out at 3ma and peaks at about 280ma for the Roms tested. I can't remember the exact figures so check out the attached benchmark sheet.
They all differ slightly - however 1.43, 1.48 and 1.61 are included

Thanks for the quick response,
Do you have a link for the benchmark thread. Also, if the range is from 3-280mA, wouldn't 55-60mA be a pretty average reading? I don't really know much about it which is why I ask.
Thanks
This is my first Android phone (2nd device overall), I love it, it was my free upgrade option from AT&T, on number 2, the first, I completely bricked trying to upgrade to GB stock..... After I got the taste of flashing ROM's, thanks to TRusselo and his ninja skill, I find myself oriented towards the leaner ones because of memory issues, I run V6 Supercharger , SlimICS :victory:, with JRummy's ROM Toolbox Pro :good: (gotta support the kicka$$ apps), TB, blah blah blah.
My major complaint is that my Cap runs hot, I have OS Monitor on it because I got tired of not knowing the threshold. It bothers me that my phone gets over 110 degrees Fahrenheit , I've even had a brief history of random reboots I attribute to heat when I ran the ICSSGS 4.0.3 ROM (Awesome stuff, but once I bit into Slim, it was over). Is there a way to manage the heat or get a case for the phone that helps to manage the temperature? Or am I S.O.L unless I keep a frozen gel pack nearby?
BTW, first post, I surf the posts often and since I didn't see any questions about overheating for this particular Samsung model thought I'd give this a shot
My gets hot to I think it has to do with the kernel

Mine runs really hot too, mine gf has a cappy and they run the same everything most of the time, but mine is the only one that gets stupid hot. Would love it to be fixed but I think its probably a manufacturing issue. Problem is it wears on the battery. 10-20 of use and you will burn your ear if you want to talk on the phone . The metal back certainly doesn't help either.
Primary reason why your cappy gets hot is because of overclocking if you're clock is high the process of the CPU is high and pay the price of higher battery consume. I'm on 1200 OC and it get's hot hen I'm playing HD games. I suggest that you stay on 1Ghz.

I have the max set at 1Ghz, min 600Mhz, Performance, SIO, I'm sure the fact that the temperature outside being over 100 F doesn't help at al. I have overclocked it before and it started smoldering, not literally, just felt like it.
I've literally taken damp cloth's and set them underneath the phone on occasion to see if that will help, it definitely does, so does setting the gel ice pack under it, so I have found ways around it. I would probably only trade this phone for one of the S3's, but this phone has definitely earned the top place among my favorite devices all time. It's just as tough as a Blackberry, and easier to use than an iPhone.
That's why LOL, 600MHz minimum and 1000MHz max, with performance gov, that keeps it at max clock all the time XD take that off OMG...

I have never knowingly oc my phone, it would get hot on GB even before I rooted and went to cm. 10-20 mins of web browsing brings my temps up to about 41 C (106 f) I am pretty new to this, where to I check my clock settings?
I'm running helly bean nightly s
I have switched batteries with my gf cappy so I'm pretty sure its not a battery issue
Maybe a bad/defective battery is the cause of the problem since there is no overclockin...???

With a metal back of cappy, it will easily heat up because it conducts heat in the metal. Based on my experience it is cause by the user usage depending on how high is the voltage/clock require of each app used to maintain it's smoothness and reached it's maximum clock. You can see your usage at Settings>Battery.
You can use CPU Spy or Voltage Control to see your OC and adjust it. You can check also in Settings> Performance >Processor.

Yeah, you'll learn in time, just try to search and read throughout the forums. I suggest that you lower your min to 100/200 and max to 1000/1200,
use smartassv2 and sio governor. This settings saves me some battery and to extent that still smooth, slick and good ui/gaming/app performance.
If you're on DEVIL KERNEL, go to recovery>devil>governor profile> tick SMOOTH.

Wasn't doggin' you dude, Just letting you know that could be the cause of your problem. Awhile ago I might have flamed you, I have matured and get that not everyone reads (not this situation), and I have to get used to that. People make mistakes, I know I do even if I wanna act like I don't. I am just helping around here now since I have gotten as much knowledge as the some of the users that joined XDA and other hacking forums in the beginning because I was always searching to find out ways to do it on my own, asking for help with stuff that no one talked about. So I am glad that I was able to help you in a way, sorta.

Thank you both, b and takeout.... I know neither of you were doggin me, b-eock. I've been one of the behind the scenes types but I've seen a few of your posts, I know you know what you're talking about, I definitely appreciate the guidance. Truth be told, I know I'm still a nub here, but I know my way well enough, after you break something a few times, its only natural to pick up a few tricks along the way.
Yeah you'll learn something here just have the patience, experiment, test things out yourself to conclude and rather soon it'll be your hobby reading
And also help others out too.

I know my battery is going quick on the SlimBean 2.0 ROM, but the heat issue still happens, I have noticed with my OS monitoring tool that it gets hotter if you have programs running constantly in background using up high CPU %. I was able to isolate a few of the programs as things I could remove, overall it does still run hot, but it's not as bad.
I use the free version of the OS Monitor on Play Store, you can set it to run under root and to autostart when the device is turned on.
Picked up an 1800 mah battery and my batty life is great! Going to bed with 40ish percent left
Haha, well let me know where you snagged that from
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
try Smartassv2 gov and change your min from 600 to 100, then note the temps, or run a log of them.
typically my phone runs about 35° C (95° F) and that is with an otterbox commuter case on the phone. When the gps is on in the car, I use a vent mount to keep it at 40° or less, and never have to take the case off.
I read that higher temps, example 45°, really shorten battery life, and you wiil only get 200 charge cycles instead of 500 from the battery.

Amazon, was a great purchase, got an oem battery, there is a huge thread in the accessories section about the 1800 mah epic 4G battery that fits in the cappy
I have this issue—the screen stays black when I wake up the phone—, so I have to do “adb reboot” manually. I global undervolted 50mV and my phone is on franco. Do you think undervolting may have caused this problem? I do not have enough data in order to judge if undervolting is the main cause. Thanks in advance.

no, its not undervolting. it sounds like sod, sleep of death. it could be kernel or rom related, among other things. anyways, next time so you dont have to connect to adb, press your power button in for 15-30 seconds, itll reboot.
Thank you!

Undervolting can certainly cause a phone to be really slow to wake up. Turn off undervolting and see if it continues

Undervolting is the most likely culprit for your SoDs. No reason to do it anyhow. Although, franco kernel has had that issue with some releases, but are usually fixed very quickly.
Undervolting will add minutes only to SoT and next to nothing for overall time. It's not worth the trouble it can cause.
Just my opinion....and experience.
guys, while undervolting can affect turning on the screen with a slight delay, most likely its not in this case. and undervolting does not cause sod.

Given that we're using sod as a generic term, I respectfully disagree. It definitely can cause trouble coming from the sleep frequency to the minimum frequency if the voltage is too low, it cannot make the transition. He definitely should roll it back and rule it out before doing anything else. This goes for any instability issue.

of course it can cause trouble coming from sleep frequencies, but it wont cause sod. yes, undervolting can and will cause stability issues, but it wont cause the screen not to come on. it would cause a delay in the screen coming on, but the screen would turn on still.
if it cannot get to 300MHz from sleep, the screen won't come on.

I'm all for anyone doing anything to their device.... That's what android is all about.
But undervolting and under clocking is just something I personally never got. I suppose aside from trying to curb heat issues. But not to prolong battery life. It just makes such a minor difference. I've never seen proof showing otherwise.
But, to each their own.

True that.
I look it it this way. Less heat equals less stress. Less stress equals longer life. Use any analogy you want but the theory is there. If I ever run into an issue with my device the very first thing I do is revert my UV settings. If it persists, at least I've ruled out UV.
I believe the idea of UVing devices comes from an era not that long ago. IE, inefficient processors. Modern(the last two years) processors don't seem to have that much inefficiency. Could be snake oil on my side. It's habit though.

I hear ya! Just see sooooooo many thinking they'll see big battery life gains.... And it seems they usually do this for battery more so than heat.
But yeah, I get the heat and stress part of it. Again, especially for games and GPS and what not.
I just got 17-18k on antutu. Stock rom,stock kernel. With elementalx kernel i can reach 27k but it is still bad for elemental x. What's wrong with my phone ? i flashed factory image again nothing changed also i just noticed when i underclock my cpu to 1.7 ghz i'm getting 28k on antutu.

Why do you care about benchmarks in the first place......
Putting your phone in the fridge, then getting an AMAZING score...does it make your day? Does showing it off make you happy? It's not what the phone is primarily designed for....it has much more useful functions, you know like internet, email, calling, gaming, photos...
More importantly...imagine benchmarks didn't exist for a moment. Did your phone actually feel slow before you did all these 'tests'??? Did you need to get 30k before you felt happy? Does a 'lower score' completely ruin the actual day to day user experience...

Firstly i don't need to tell you why i'm trying to get higher score but i will because you're talking too agresively with me without reason.I don't care about score. If every nexus 5 would be the same and get just 15k score including mine i would accept my phone with 15k. But others phones get higher and there is something wrong with mine. It's getting hot more than others. So that's not like it should be.I hope you understood why i'm trying to fix it and sorry if my english isn't understandable.

If it's getting hot, is this because you're running unnecessary benchmarks...
Or any other activities which are causing it to get hot? This could be an app or hardware issue, both nothing to do with your benchmark. Are you comparing actual temperatures in degrees to identical phones doing exactly the same activities side by side, or does it just feel a bit warmer?
What I'm trying to say is your obsession with the score is causing you unnecessary stress...you are trying to fix something which does not need fixing.
So go back to the original thinking:
- Imagine scores don't exist
- Did the phone actually feel slow in day to day normal usage before you started running benchmarks?
Or:
- Stop running tests, forget about them
- Use the phone normally
- Enjoy using the phone again

The first time run it i just wanted to see how my phone is powerful because i felt a little lag on asphalt 8 yesterday, so yes i wasn't expecting any issues but when i saw i got 17k i think that difference is just huge. I don't care if my device is same at gaming,multitasking with other nexus devices but benchmark makes me think it's not right.
In normal usage; yeah it is fast But I'm not sure my device is how it's supposed to be like this. But if you say it's normal and benchmark's not meaning anything i won't care. But there should be a reason all devices got different scores.

So it is sort of only the benchmark which is making you think something is not right
You don't need a score to see how powerful your phone is. It will breeze through most tasks just fine. "A little lag" on a graphically intense game is to be expected sometimes.
Gaming -> High CPU load -> heat -> thermal throttle -> bit of lag

In normal usage; yeah it is fast

Yes there is a reason we all get different scores, the same reason we all get different battery life. There are many variables, not least temperature and thermal throttling.
We have different number of apps installed and running at any one time, things syncing, mods, scripts, ROMs, kernels, all different. No two CPUs and Nexus 5s are exactly identical either. So therefore you get different 'scores'. Even if you had two stock factory reset phones side by side running the same test, they'll get different scores.
And just because your score is lower, it doesnt necessarily mean that something is wrong, or that your phone is always slow. It is just a nominal number from an app at a particular point in time. It still feels fast, and is fast...

Okey, i trust you. Since i just bought phone and didn't test it much really i won't test it or try to improve it for now.
The way a phone works doesn't lend itself well to benchmarks. That's why manufacturers like Samsung have traditionally "cheated" on benchmarks by ensuring maximum clock speeds are used when they detect a bench marking application.
If you want to maximize your benchmark scores you simply need to disable thermal throttling (or increase its limit) and also use optimized Dalvik copied from another device.

This. Thermal throttle is a way to keep your phone regulated into normal temperatures specified by the device manufacturer. However, it's generally safe to raise it a bit, mine is set to 85.
aw man, its too bad i wasnt around earlier
I've recently bought a honor 8, it's beautiful blazing fast as compared to my previously owned Xperia z1 but today I ran Antutu benchmark on this device and found that my score is really very unstable... I've seen couple of videos on YouTube doing their tests of Antutu on their honor 8 devices and their score comes out more than 88k but man my phone first got 71k followed by 79k followed by 65k....
I mean like is anyone else who knows what's going on? Please guys tell me what I am doing wrong is there some kind of performance mode or something? I am running nougat (7.0) and emui (5.0).
Check out this screenshot.
Do you have programs running in the background? Antutu scores seem to vary a good bit in my experience, but ~70K seems pretty low.
Pretty consistent over here on B380. Did you make sure no apps run in background etc. during testing? It does seem a little odd

Holy crap now look at this... What should i make of this.. just few minutes after it. I won't say the hardware has issues but it's just too unstable..
charge the phone. let it cool down. test it. last 2 results were due to low battery throttle. u had 10-15% left. obv, performance will drop. it also depends in which mode u're running ur phone and whats running in the back. in the end, antutu is usually unreliable. check if you get consistent results with geekbench, when the phone is charged. honor should be around 92k on emui4.1 and 94k on 5.
you should NEVER bench (if you actually want to get good scores) while under 20% or on charger

I do not think this is true. With 17% of the battery I got this score. Honor 8 does not gradually reduce by 20%?

its a general statement. phones tend to behave weirdly when battery is low. yeah in my case it performs pretty much the same despite the %, however this might not be the case for everyone because current state of the os/apps is different from one individual to another, and it could affect the end result greatly. if he thinks his phone is faulty, he should deffo service it, however sudden drop in performance, doesnt necessarily mean the phone is damaged. these drops are common even on nexus devices +bench methodology is different from one individual to another so scores should obviously differ. yeah, 80k is not 92, BUT it can reach 80, meaning it has potential. that sudden drop from 80 to 60 means either the phone is really and i mean really rekt, or there is something else going on, which is definitely a result of stuff installed on his phone. simple factory reset and pure antutu score in that scenario will show the real picture.
