not dead black screen problem just battery issue usually in battery usage android os shows normally like this(image)
but sometimes it is 60 to 70 % and that battery drain too fast
is it a firmware issue ? or hardware ? my phone is 2 week old
this thing happen to me 2 time only
it happen to my phone at night on standby mode
and what all other aps( in the image) which is showing in battery usage it is all close(from task manager) but it shows it is using battery.
The battery usage being shown is the overall battery juice used by the apps listed since the phone is switched on.
Its basically shows the history of your battery usage and which app/system components have used how much % of your battery.
There's nothing wrong in that, its not a problem as you are assuming it to be and the apps shown there are not necessarily open.
ok thanks
i'll post in future if this problem come again
now android os usage is rising 40 + is it ok ?
Just enjoy the phone bro. Anyways u wont get more than 1~1.5 days ona a single charge except idealized conditions
I received my Galaxy this Thursday and didn't restart it at all until it drained itself yesterday in 14 hours.
After charing my phone to 100% and using it very very little during the day, it had drained itself completely after 14 hours. See the attached screen shots.
Android OS used 75% of my battery. It was completely useless.
Today after charging to 100% during the night it has been running fine. Currently at 68% after 9 hours with average use.
I've seen another thread about Android OS draining battery for SGS2, but I'm not sure there is a conclusion as to what processes causes it.
I suggest a restart if the battery starts draining too fast.
It's always like that with new smartphones. When I bought mine, battery time was just horrible - not even one day of ordinary usage. After few charging cycles (let's say after approx. 2 weeks) it got much much better. Now 2 days is not a problem at all.
Dont know how its works on custom roms/kernels but on stock 2.3.4 battery going down much faster with sd card on. If I put off sd card, battery life is extended. How no idea why.
lol i don't have any sd card yet but this problem occurs sometimes only
restarting works sometimes not every time i checked it
now what i found battery backup and drainage is ok in android phones wait for ICS 4.0.3(officially) lets see if they fix that battery bug. this thing should be solved in galaxy R.

Dude did you turn off Background auto sync ?
Your display usage is 2%, so it seems your phone was not used much by you. I feel you have turned on too many system background apps or something like that.
Do check that & update here if it solves the problem.

I had this problem on stock rom.
I googled around and it seems that Samsung OS has some bug where after switching the wifi off, it still keeps consuming CPU resources.
Try flashing a custom ROM.
I haven't had this problem since the day I shifted to InfectedROM+ardatdat's kernel.

Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

Try changing battery... even i had same problem with Custom rom. Battery used to last only for 10 to 12 hours but now its more than 17 hours on JB 4.1.2 leak,,,,...Use stock rom. and remove any unncessesary apps and installl ROM again if u want :good:
How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

Think mine is clearly a battery issue. Replaced the battery with a new one yesterday and now the phone lasts 6 hrs at least on a single charge.
CM 10.1.3
I couldn't write to developer's forum so I'm asking here.
I've recently firmwared my AT&T A2 CM 10.1.3 and battery drains really fast! The previous build was CM 10.1 (25th of June). I wiped cache and dalvik cache and firmwared CM 10.1.3. At least 3 people report that thie batteries on this ROM drain slow.
What did I do wrong???

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
Thank you fro your answer. When I used previous version of CM the battery lasted 3 days with minimal using and turning the flight mode at night on.
As long as I installed newer version with JBX kernel the battery lasts 20 hrs max.

Hello enthusiasts,
I'm having a problem with my HTC One Mini (from German Telekom).
The device keeps turning off at around 45% battery charge. There is no warning prior to the shutdown. You can briefly see the "Battery is low!" warning for a tenth of a second until the phone shuts down completely. It can then not be turned on again unless I plug it into the charger. When turned on immediately afterwards, while charging, the battery status has changed to 0%.
There is a screenshot attached which shows the Voltage of the battery about 2 minutes before the device shut down.
I have already used the search and found numerous threads about devices shutting down with a high battery load, but the linked tutorials are often obsolete or unappliable.
I've been studying Wikipedia articles about Lithium-Ion batteries which say that the lowest voltage for a battery generally is 2.5V. Many manufacturers implemented security measurements that keep the battery far away from this low voltage level. I expect the 0%-load to be around 3V, but 3.3V should still be rather "loaded".
Concerning the overall device duration after a full charge: It has become far worse. After first flashing Cyanogenmod M11 Snapshot M6 a fully charged battery would give me around 20h of time until it would die. I've always recharged the device when it reached about 20% charge, before it turned red. Now it barely manages to get to 12-14h. And I don't even use it heavily.
I've already tried some battery calibration apps, but they all haven't shown any influence on the symptoms.

I'd be glad to provide more information on this matter if I forgot something, but I hope I got everything you need. Would greatly appreciate help as this problem is slowly grinding my gears.

I've had the stock ROM installed for about 7 months until July and then I've only installed different versions of Cyanogenmod.
Namely Snapshot M7, a Nightly one from July, back to Snapshot M7 (at this point, the problem with the battery started occuring), then a nightly from October 6th and just recently the Snapshot M11. It should be noted that I've always wiped the system partition before installing a new build.

Flash a stock ROM and see if it still happens.
I have this problem also on any roms. But my isn't at 45%. It's usually at around 14% or 30 something. After it reboots my battery will be 0%
I've had the stock rom running for some time now and the battery display is absolutely fine with it. As soon as I go back to my CM M11 backup and recharge the phone, the measurement gets all confused and the phone starts shutting down at ~45%-50% again.

I have the same problem. As soon as my phone gets to about 40%, the battery drains to 0% within minutes, even while the screen is off and no data is being used. My phone is just over a year old and running a rooted, but stock version of 4.4.2. I don't think it's ROM related since it only started doing this recently. My guess is that our phone batteries are malfunctioning. Check out this person who has the exact same problem I have on the One M8:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/396770-htc-one-m8-battery-drain-40-60-0-seconds.html
His screen shots mirror mine EXACTLY. One thing I discovered is that while charging from 0% while in recovery, I was able to see my battery percentage jump from 7% to 50% when I booted to the OS. The battery then died again minutes later. This only happened once, but I'm guessing that our phone might be displaying a higher percentage than what is true just before it dies.
I have a strong feeling this might be CyanogenMod related, as it is known to have caused great problems on dozens M4's with overheating / strange battery drain / weird stuff like that, among many other bugs.
If I were you, I would do a fully clean install of a stable Sense-based ROM and kernel on upgraded firmware and see if problem persists.
Upgrade to the latest TWRP recovery
Wipe everything
Factory/Data reset
Advanced wipe: Cache / Dalvik Cache / System / Data / Internal Storage
Format Data
Upgrade your firmware, if not done yet
Install latest InsertCoin, choose "Perform a full wipe" option in AROMA
When installer finished, uncheck "Reboot phone now" and get back to recovery
Wipe [Cache] + [Dalvik Cache]
Install latest Xceed kernel (for Android 4.4.3)
Wipe [Cache] + [Dalvik Cache]
Reboot
I wish it was that simple. Thought CM may have some known issues, my device and the other example I linked to are running stock Roms.
If it wasn't happening every single day, it wouldn't be such a big deal, but now I'm seriously worried that I can't get a full days use from it anymore and it's barely over a year old. Sending it back to HTC would be a huge pain since I'm rooted. Though I guess it would be worth it in the long run to finally have a phone that doesn't shut down at 40%

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay.
It looks as if there might be damage to the battery as the %-display for the battery is still wrong on a Stock ROM (rooted and outdated) that I've had on the device for a week now.
Okay guys, what to do next? I guess I would like to completely revert everything and reset the phone to 100% stock. Would you guys recommend opening a new thread for that?
Anyway, here are some details:
Kernel 3.4.10-g8974365 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMT
CID: T-MOB101
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
RADIO-1.24.40e.00.26
OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927
OS-3.10.111.4
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Feb 14 2014, 17:48:26.0
I'm running a Stock branded ROM (T-Mobile Germany) with Sense 5.5 and Android 4.4.2 which is OUTDATED, however using the stock Recovery, I can NOT install OTA Updates as it stops at 50% showing the attached image (courtesy of droider.eu).
So the plan is to get the default Kernel (remove root), make the Stock ROM updateable, remove TAMPERED [might require S-OFF if I'm correct] and get everything LOCKED again (and not RE-LOCKED). I need your help to achieve all of this and it would be awesome if you could help me or just tell me to open a new thread.

I am in the same boat with you. I have completely given up on this battery. It's not ROM related. The battery simply doesn't hold a full charge anymore and the only remedy is to send it back to HTC for replacement. Since my phone has no insurance or warranty, I'd have to pay for it completely out of pocket. Fortunately, I've got my old HTC One S that still works perfectly and just loaded the latest KitKat Rom to it. The battery life and over-all performance of the One S is nearly better than my One Mini. I'm not feeling very compelled to get it fixed at the moment, but I'll let you guys know how much it costs if I change my mind. Good luck with yours.
Thanks, I'll just have to get mine fully back to stock to be able to turn it in... Hope it'll not be that pricy for you.
Can you get rid of the tampered warning on the boot screen? I thought it was irreversible. If not, I don't think HTC will warranty it.

Of course you can, at least I assume you can. On the HTC One there are already guides and I guess the Mini is not that much different. It requires S-OFF though, so at least I would have to tinker around with my phone even more.
Our Plain vanilla -stockROM One mini is having similar issues:
It shuts down at battery 30%
- removed unneccessary app's - no result
- Factory reset - No result
Contacted HTC support, they advised to run self-test ( *#*#3424#*#*) in safe mode
Tried that: Boot-up in safe mode - charge full - batterytest : Put it away for the night while batterytest running, hoping for a report in the morning. Unfortunately no report, but a battery status of 1% - so no shutdown at 30%
Second time: Charged full in regular mode (100%) - reboot in safe-mode: Battery shows up @57% and could be charged for at least one hour.
Ran battery-test : after one hour of testing, battery = 91 % while 71 % is lower limit for failing battery, so battery succeeded.
Third time: Just testing the difference between battery-status in regular mode vs. safe-mode
Full charge in regular = 50% in safe mode (and able to continue charging)
Don't want to sent it away for repair: expecting to have it sent back after a couple of weeks: " we did the batterytest, and it's functioning fine. Your device is not broken"
My idea: something interfering with the battery-status indicator ?
But what ?
Any ideas ?

Thanks for reporting a similar problem to mine. I haven't gotten to fix mine, yet, too. Mine even powers down at 75% Battery and now has a horrible battery life of about 2h of normal usage (occasional screen activity, listening to music).
But how did you find a batterytest? I can't seem to find one in the safe-mode via that dial code. Can you explain where you found the battery test?

Wow - I wish you had posted this 2 days earlier! I just had a new battery purchased for my phone and I'm getting a local repair shop to replace it. Sounds like my battery could be fine and I will likely have the same results after it's replaced!
If you fully charge the phone in safe mode, does the phone battery still last the appropriate amount of time in regular mode or does it still shut off prematurely?

It still does: Fully charged in safe-mode it shuts down @30% - does seem to last longer to reach 30% level
Last night I tried a different trick:
After shutdown @30% I kept the phone off and recharged it to 29 %
I put the phone back on and drained the battery to 0% - ignoring all warnings ("please charge .... CHARGE ..... G*DDAMN START CHARGING, I'M FREAKING DYING HERE ....)
Recharged the battery while powered off from 0% to 100%
Tested this morning: Same battery level in regular mode as in safe mode (98%)
Hmmm, I seem to remember doing some thing similar by accident with my phone when I stopped charging around 30% to use it. It drained to 0 shortly after and I fully recharged while in recovery mode. The battery seemed to last longer that time, but any subsequent charging before letting the battery die seemed to result in the same poor battery life. It's not a real solution but if you can confirm that yours acts similarly, then it's more info for us to have as we try to figure this out.

Hi,
Previously I successfully rooted LS966 and bricked while flashing ROM (Lesson Learnt) and paid a bomb to repair the motherboard.
I now have H955 - 15B. I successfully rooted the phone via online remote connect help, because I felt it would be cheaper than last time. After rooting,
Debloated mostly all google Bloatware and few system apps based on a list from another discussion on XDA,
Installed Pimp My CPU and reduced to 1230 Mhz
Doze to block background data traffic
Greenify to stop background processes.
This has been quite a versatile combination for me and the battery doesn't drop by even 1% until the screen is on.
Once the screen is on I am losing 1% of battery every 3 - 5 mins.
I am getting a Screen On Time of 3Hrs.45Mins only.
I have also read up on Battery Calibration issue and this is my second full charge - full discharge cycle.
But the battery percentages are still going down at the same speed.
My screen is drinking above 50% of my juice at 100% brightness. I tried to change that few times but it is more or less same.
Earlier it used to be around 15 to 30%. I am attaching current consumption picture.
While I am enjoying a good Stand By Time of upto 12 to 14 hrs, my Screen on Time is reduced to 3hrs 45Mins.
Is this normal?
Or I am missing something?
Is it the way ROM was flashed on old built before rooting because of soft brick while rooting?
Any indication will be of immense help. Many
Many Thanks.
Seems the way it should be. Changed my battery almost a week ago and I get maybe close to 4 hours of SOT, depends how you use your phone, I use it at 80% brightness though and standby time while it's just sitting on the table is days. :good: N.B. Using android 6.0.1, although it used to be pretty much the same on 5.1.1, maybe less standby time.
Also I'm pretty sure Pimp My CPU shouldn't be compatible with this phone because of the kernel and lockdowns. Maybe they've found some kind of loophole, doubt it though.
Also for the battery calibration, I fully discharge every month to 0% and then charge it to 100% while not using it and once it hits 100% it's good to go. Just the way I do it, not everyone does it the same.
Also, I never trust remote help of any kind, who knows what crap they might do, and even though I am an amateur at android rooting and flashing, I've done it myself every time cause I don't trust remote stuff.
And depending if you want root or not, you could use android 5.1.1 15c(although I don't know if the difference between 15b and 15c is that big) with root or android 6.0.1 20c without root. It's rather simple to root on 5.1.1 though, so many guides here, as long as you follow them to the letter.
You don't have to agree with what I've written here, it's just my opinion.

Seems the way it should be. Changed my battery almost a week ago and I get maybe close to 4 hours of SOT, depends how you use your phone, I use it at 80% brightness though and standby time while it's just sitting on the table is days. :good: N.B. Using android 6.0.1, although it used to be pretty much the same on 5.1.1, maybe less standby time.
Also I'm pretty sure Pimp My CPU shouldn't be compatible with this phone because of the kernel and lockdowns. Maybe they've found some kind of loophole, doubt it though.

Are you sure you get close to 4Hrs of SOT on a brand new battery because I get 3 Hrs and 50 Mins or so but less than 4 Hrs on a phone which is 6 months old. Never changed the battery. If that is the case then I think I am doing alright. I have seen SOT Tests of phones like Pixel and One Plus T.
I dnt think pimp my ROM has any restrictions. It kind of works smoothly. It helps me cool down the hot CPU also. I have ovecome the dreaded overheating issues of G Flex 2 easily with clocking my CPU.
I have done the battery calibration. But it quite didn't help me.
I went paranoid because immediately after the root I started to observe the battery percentage on the top. And I felt its falling drastically. But on the other end my stand by time has gone upto 15 hrs. The battery doesn't drop even by a single percent until the screen is on. Once it is on it goes down drastically.
I think of the battery calibration as kind of a safeguard, it's not a necessity.
The pixel and oneplus are different beasts altogether.
Also, as your phone is only 6 months old then it's battery should be ok and as I stated before battery life depends how one uses their phone, I tend to play a few games here and there with 80% brightness and such so it takes a bit more on my end. I personally haven't seen over 4 hours of SOT with my phone ever since I've had it, but your mileage may vary.
As for the PIMP my CPU, if it works for you good, I personally moved over to 6.0.1. When I was changing my battery I removed the motherboard out of curiosity to see how the thermal pad is and only one edge was touching the frame, so I added some Arctic MX-4 thermal paste between the frame and thermal pad and the temps are surprisingly better now. Still tends to get hotter than it should but throttles a lot less now and the screen brightness doesn't forcibly drop below 80% now, even when gaming. It used to drop to 50% etc before when just browsing the web. Anyways, that's that.
It might be some background stuff eating your battery too if you had better battery life than you do now, or it might be because of the motherboard change. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to say for sure. Also, the more you look at the battery percentage the worse it looks
Sincerely,

Pixel is too expensive for me honestly and I am not really into expensive phones like iPhone or Pixel.
I am quite happy with G Flex 2's performance and I was only worried about SOT of 4 Hrs. I re calibrated battery and discharged and charged again 100% Thrice.
Somehow battery last over 15 hours after rooting. For example, its 3PM and I have 70% battery left even with SOT of 90 mins of movie. That is 1Hour30Mins.
And you're right, the more you look at battery. the more complicated it gets :laugh:
After rooting - Greenify + Pimp My ROM + Doze + Uninstall System Apps - combination is giving me 15 hrs of usage per day. It more or less includes phone calls, WiFi browsing, Network Data Browsing, Some videos and crazy amount of Twitter, all put together through out the day.
But I am still interested in SOT per single charge.
Interesting.... Same problem here
I'm on 20A, 6.0.1
You're sitting on about the expected SOT. I get anywhere from 4-5 hours and almost never take my brightness off 0%. I'm running a fully debloated 15c setup, same as yours except a version increment higher. The most intensive thing I do on here is install new apps, no gaming or anything. If you have the Facebook app, try switching to Facebook Lite which you can download off APK Mirror. Does everything the normal app does but without all the bloat, it's only a couple MB. Apart from all the tweaks you've already listed, there's not much else we can do. I've always wondered why screen takes the most battery usage by far, maybe it's just the screen type we have. Screen off is great, I lose less than 3% every night including background updates. Screen drains at about the same rate yours does.
welcome I have a problem, I tried to search for it a lot and find solutions, but I could not find a solution to it It is the problem of fake charging, which means I own a J7 PRIME phone, a battery of 3300 mAh My phone has been tried on Iris Kernel version 6 And version 7 And version 6 gold and H Kernel A simple kernel And a simple kernel second version But I ran into a problem that I really suffer from It is fake shipping I mean, I have 30% of the battery, almost fake charging While my phone battery has nothing and works perfectly, I have tried several types of ROMs, including the basic ones, including the modified ones, and I also tried GSI But my problem with the Radical is that the charging from 100 percent to about 35 percent is fine and the battery drains normally. No problem, because it is 64-bit. Faster than 32-bit decompilation, no doubt about thatBut when the battery reaches 30 percent or less It starts to decrease quickly and then reaches one percent and the phone is turned off I don't know what's the problem But I think you have a solution I've tried very hard to find solutions to this, but I haven't found anything that works for me at all And don't forget our electricity comes for only two hours and cuts off for four hours, meaning always every time it comes, the electricity has to put my Hanvi because of the 30 percent fake charge Do you recommend a solution? for this problem I do not want to change the Radical system, I have been very tired to make it so stable on my phone, the battery problem remains, please help me!!
