one that shows the drain in Watts or Miliamps.
my device is giving me bad battery life despite numerous optimisation and wmlonglife. it's pretty bad wen i'm listening to music too.
thanks alot in advance.
Really ? I use WMLongLife, using my phone every 5 minutes, learning music, web-browsing, etc. and I finished my day with 40% of batery
How did you configure it ?
Are you sure it is working ?
Last night my battery dropped from 100% to 6%...
Result.. => Late At Work cause my alarm didn't sound..
I don't understand it.. and I had wmlonglife activated as well..
Try better battery life with this:
Battery Guard v0.0.1.3

Hi I have bought vibrant from ebay and using it for about week now
and it has serious battery problem
first of all
right now i am using official updated 2.2
but even before updating there was battery problem so it;s not 2.2 for sure
so i downloaded app called battery minder which gives me % and how many minutes left on my phone
so here is the problem comes when i fully charge my phone
no wifi, no blue tooth, no gps, data turned on it shows i have about like 6 hrs
and when i turn my wifi on and when it;s connected it says i have 18 hrs or something
and when i just turn my bluetooth on without wifi it gives me like 1 more hr from 6 hr so about 7 or 8
and when i make my phone to airplane mode it gives me 22 hrs or something
and the minutes showing on there it;s pretty accruate
so is there way to fix it? and even if there is way to fix it airplane mode and 22hrs i think that's way too little
or is that supposed to be
i don;t know how other ppls battery is so that's why i am posting here
please please help me
i love the phone but battery is just not right
and my point of view right now i do not think it;s the battery because when i turn my bluetooth on it gives me more hrs...
so please help me
i think longest i used in one day is like 8-9 hrs
when i didn;t really do anything with my phone...
maybe i played with it for like 1 hr maximum...
that's maximum usually 6 hrs or 5...
please please help
oh and i tried pulling my battery out and everything...
factory reset...
one last question if it is the battery if i change my battery get it from ebay or something which one should i get if i get those cheap ebay batteries will it damage my phone?
please help thank you so much
The battery drain was fixed for the Vibrant a few builds back. It should only be draining when your screen is on and you're actually using the phone. You may be expecting too much out of your phone. Those who report 14+ hours of use usually get that because they barely touch their phones all day or use it mostly for texting which takes very little battery life.
Dont rely on battery apps. Just use and enjoy your phone.. If you need, extra batteries are cheap online.
are those cheap batteries good?
will they damage my phone?
i see on ebay that like 3 batteries are like 10 dollars...
is that trustable?
and also i am not trying to expect too much it;s just that
when i turn my bluetooth on i get more hrs and i don;t know it;s just not right to me
and when i didn't use my phone at all i had like 40% after 12 hrs
when my friend uses iphone 4 and had 86%
is that why android sucks so much?
I have 2 ebay batteries and have had no problems with either.
thanks for that comment
i guess i will order but i still can;t figure out this battery problem..
You can try reflashing your ROM. But I really don't see a problem. Your phone has a super amoled screen which eats tones of battery. Being connected to 3g eats more battery than wifi, etc. You may just be expecting too much out of your phone tbh.
but that same for the iphone
my friend and i had class so oviously we couldn;t really use our phones
and after like 12 hrs later
he had 86%
and i had 40%
since i didn;t turn my screen on that much
that means i didn;t use the super amoled
and we both were using 3g
so atleast it should be somewhere near iphone
You can't make a direct comparison like that. Your phone and your friends phone have different operation systems, different amount of processes running, different hardware, and different batteries. Not to mention different signal strength which also effects battery life.
thank you for reply i understand what you are saying but
i just don't know
if it;s like 20 % difference i get it..
but 40%?
even though it;s different phoen and different system
it;s way too much..
you can compare mac and window with same spec
it;s not going to be that much different
40% shows me there is something wrong..
If that's what you wana believe. Maybe you should get an iPhone then.
When I first got my Nexus 5, I got about 3.5 hours of SOT. This is with airplane mode 24/7. Note, I still have my phone in airplane mode 24/7. I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 but before that I was getting bad battery. 5.0 I get about 2.5 hours. Now with 5.1 I got 2 hours. Barely.
I have used the troubleshooting battery life thread and searched around, tried custom ROMs, kernels, everything. Not a thing helps. BBS and Wake lock Detector show absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
I've had my phone a little over a year now, and its just deteriorated. Is it just my phone? Bad battery perhaps? Or is everyone getting this awful battery?
I know what everyone is going to say to, it depends on usage. And it does, but to an extent. I'm a light user, I'd say. Greenify installed, I use Kik sometimes, little camera here and there and messenger to talk to people. That's literally it. If I have the phone sit there and do nothing I get good battery, well, better. But it seems switching apps or touching it at all hurts battery. I've tried App Ops, and location is off and sync. Literally every piece of advice I have tried.
So just a general question, how is everyone's battery holding up? It is really that bad? Or am I just unlucky. Nexus 6 has better battery and bigger screen but average battery. Which is sad. I think its software and bad battery related.
You definitely have a problem there the nexus 5 should last you much more than that even on lollipop

That's what I'm thinking. It used to be such a good phone, nothing is draining battery and nothing out of the ordinary is draining... :/ I think it is just a bad, used up battery.
Well you did look into replacing it with a G2 battery, you'll lose QI charging but have a bigger battery
It's not just you. In fact I'm very close to just going back to kitkat. I get no wakelocks, my phone shows as in deep sleep and just today my phone came off charge at 11am and was dead by around 5pm with half hour screen on time. That's just ridiculous! It was showing as deep sleep the entire time.
I've tried everything. I'm 80% sure lollipop is the problem because I know a lot of people with the same issues. Anything Google related I've turned off and I still can't shake this battery drain
If you're using airplane mode then you should get more, I get above 4 hours with adaptive brightness and a signal.
Sounds like a bad battery or something isn't right software wise
Feel free to posts stats and stuff, maybe have a look at what the times are for your cpu frequencies

I may post those stats, because I'd like to know. Me and so many others are getting lousy battery but you get this amazing battery. I'm starting to believe 80% of Nexus 5's just got awful stock factory batteries...

If you decide to go back, please let me know if things improve. I'm with you in that, me, you, and others are getting just awful battery. I don't understand it, deep sleep and nothing is causing any drain... But like the guy above, he is getting 4 hours with a signal? It has to be maybe we have bad batteries... It is just awful.
Definitely something wrong. I've got a launch week device putting it at almost 18 months old. I leave absolutely everything turned on, even have Google Fit tracking steps, Facebook app, and a couple games. I have also overheated the battery several times during bootloops. Just today I finished out a charge cycle with just over 3 and a half hours SOT, including 2 hours Bluetooth music, and just under an hour of wired headphone music using ViPER4Android with a couple options known to drain more battery.
I'd look into Better Battery Stats for some hidden kernel wakelocks.

I've tried literally everything and nothing is showing up. Nothing... Bluetooth music to my stereo drains batter horribly. 1 song per percent. Maybe I as well as others have bad batteries and you're just lucky... Are you on 5.1? It literally makes no sense...
I came from a Galaxy S3. The Nexus 5 battery isn't that great, but your description sounds like you're unlucky. I went from Kitkat to Lollipop on the N5 and the battery life was definitely better. Perhaps try the Elemental X kernel?

I'm running CM12(5.0.2).
The only thing keeping me from trying to replace my battery is that there are occasional days right after a reboot where everything work as is should. (I.E., 3-4 Hr SoT, Bluetooth streaming 30min or so, 16-24hr total time). After that first day it goes to **** and I get maybe 1-2 hrs SoT and 12-16hrs total time. I'm just waiting on 5.1.1 at this point. In the mean time, it just lives on a wireless charger if I can access one at home or work easily.
If I'm a baseline (I'm probably not) then you certainly seem to have a problem.
I do seem to get marginally worse battery life on Lollipop, but still nothing to complain about - considering. Generally I get 3.5+ SOT over a 14+hour day (from 85% as I almost never let it run lower than 15-10%). That's with every service turned on (including precise location & always listening), and I normally listen to at least 2-3 hours of podcasts (accelated playback + skip silences, both processor-heavy) and some Tune-In radio & Play Music. Playback is usually a split between BT & the phone's internal speaker. My normal usage is almost all on Wi-Fi. 3G can be disappointing & will sometimes eat through my battery significantly faster.

To be honest kit Kat is the nexus 5s Prime os I doubt it's going to get better than that
You guys have to remember the jump from JellyBean to KitKat was nowhere near as expansive as the jump from KitKat to Lollipop and Google spent a year refining KitKat to 4.4.4. We're less than half a year into Lollipop. Yes, Lollipop should be in a much better state than what it is but obviously Google fell short of that mark.
my N5 also over 1 year, light usage but even with 2hrs SOT I still have at least 40% battery
p.s. wifi and bluetooth is always on

Okay you guys (and hopefully others) take a look at this battery. I did play Clash of Clans somewhat today and got den m decent battery but yeah. Any thoughts? Bluetooth streaming to my stereo still used 2 percent in 10 minutes. I'm adding more to a new post. I think I may have a bad battery still because even though it said 98 it went to 99 for a brief minute. I see messenger and Line during battery some, and cause wake issues but FB is greenified. Messenger isn't... Also the other apps like Google Calendar, and the Google App itself cause battery drain, and it shows Android OS in battery under screen.
More screenshots hopefully adding
Phone is hating me

I do suck at math, but 2% per 10 minutes of bt streaming doesn't really sound that awful. That seems to work out to 8+ hrs of active usage. Most of my battery drain on streaming audio comes from the apps themselves - Most of my listening is of podcasts where I'm playing at 1.5x speed +skip silence which are both processor-heavy. TuneIn is pretty battery-hungry (and annoyingly buggy!) as well. Play Music seems a bit easier on my battery, but I'm mostly listening to the non-music apps & I probably don't do much better than 2% per 10(ish) minutes a lot of the time.
It's fairly common to see your battery level jump up or down a point or two once in a while. Others can better explain this technically, but I gather it's just refining the estimate of where you are at the moment.
*Edit* Looking at your screenshots, I don't see the app that you're streaming on. ?
Hi guys,
today I received new firmware update FRD-L09C432B381, so I was wondering can someone tell me who has updated to this version what's the battery life? Is there any improvement from previous versions? I appreciate every answer.
PS. Now I am on B360 and my Honor 8 drains 8% over night. Max I can get is 3 h SOT with 48 Standby time (Internet browsing, reddit, whatsapp, RSS reader). I am not a heavy user. I try to charge my phone as less often as I can.

B381 - Kernel wakelocks, that makes the batteri drain about 5 % / hour.
Im back on B380, no more massive wakelocks.
I was having already good battery life on B360
And now its evan better
Like B360 7 hours 40 min SOT
And B381 9 hours 30 min SOT
B360 sometimes up to 6 hours SOT with good usage
Now on B381 getting the 6 hours easy
B381 > B380 > B360.
B381 has the best battery life of all Nougat updates so far.
It's hard to tell what's the battery life on B381, everyone gets different SoT. It depends on how do you use your phone, what it installed on your device and what features do you have enabled...

If I use it the normal way.. not with airplain mode you silly ? if I do browsing, you tube listening for music for hours and sms with voice calls.. if I give it all day long in one take I get the constant screen on, constant awake and battery drain from 100 till shutdown.. well then I have 9 hours and 30 min of SOT
But if I dont use it that way and let the phone turn off the screen and get to go to sleep.. so not awake.. I get like in two days of easy usage 5-6 hours of SOT ..
The picture in the attachment is from me with almost all day on you tube and browsing

Saw some users reporting also such screen on time
Its in the screen on time thread
I do know that everybody had very good sot on MM
But some of us never had any battery drain issue
And the best noughat for now is the B381 for the L09
And for others the battery drain should be also fixed with the latast noughat
Just wait a bit more if you dont want to install it manually
Many reported that it fixed battery
But for me.. I got evan better sot then ever
And I am not the only one
As much I know @Rommco05 has also very good battery
Let him say something too

It's no problem... Take your phone, connect it to wifi and turn on the screen, maybe internet browser and let it live.... You will get easily 6hrs+ of SoT....
As I said before it's all about how you use the phone...
If you chek the brljak83 SoT you can see that he has total usage 10hrs... It's running without stop. When you use it normaly to check clock, messenger etc. you will get around 3.5hrs SoT... Depends on your brightness level and if you use wifi or mobile data.

And get used to it
I will be all around the place
I like it here ?
And like to help beginners couse they dont know evan how to update and would love to update
I was also in that spot and it always is good to get some help and guide
Do you feeling like a Messiah? Do you feel happy while "helping" beginners? I am pretty shure that i know the purpose of your tons of posts here- to win that Honor 8 device here in XDA. Nice, but this is not the right way, my friend.
I am done with you. Wish you luck and happy posting.

Hello !
Firstly, i dont have a very good english so I hope you can be a little understanding, well, lets get started, i've bought an xperia xz from someone ( he still has 2 month guaranted) , the few first days everything went normal and all, I didnt really watch the battery drain because i stayed all day in house, now that I have began to work, i've noticed that my battery usually falls at 12pm or 1pm ( works begin at 8pm), I've been looking at the internet to do some research but I still don't really get it, does the xperia have a fast battery drain or my battery is somehow borken, I need a phone that can lasts an entire days with an average usage, theres a way to make him lasts longer or do i change him for a Samsung s7 ?
