[Q] What factor affect to Battery life?

I am a big fan of Samerd's Rom since it published version 5.0
Smoothness, Add Flipping animation ...
King Kobra makes my S.XL beautiful and wonderful
it's perfect! execpt one thing...
After Version 6.0 my battery graph show me almost 45 degree
100% goes down to 10% within 3hours
Moreover, some people experience same problem at battery drain,
but some lucky guys said that threre are no problem at battery life.
so, i'm curious about that there are any factors affect battery life?
For examples, performance of radio(may differ to country?)
that's a hard problem to me who din't have a knowledge to android development
Anyway, I really hope that our device and forum would prosper more and more

if it didn't work try downloading system rom toolbox pro look inside there is a button you can press after you fully charge your battery
it should fix the problem.

In fact there is alot of "buttons you can press". You mean battery calibration?

Yes, I think it is

Yeah, I already tried battery calibration, before write this thread, and It did not works
moreover i am not using 3g data and even wifi connection sometimes.
so i think it has more deeper reason than i know

Mostly it fixes battery stats but not bad battery life. What apps you have running in backround?

Htc one kernels

Hi...m using arhd rom 10.3 ...on my htc one...m very satisfied with rom but everytime i wanted to flash coustom kernel ....it do not install....stock kernel is using a lots of battery.....is there any kernel tht is available which works....sply to battery life....thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

There aren't any kernels that work with 4.2.2 based ROMs as far as I am aware. You'd have to go back to 4.1.2 if you want to flash a custom kernel.

Thnx.....but m a heavy user my battery drains very very fast...moreover it chargers very slowly too....any mod or tweak for tht....i put it on auto brightness...and autosync off......but didnt helped much...only get 5% better result......

How heavy are we talking? Just turn Power Saver on, you'll save battery by not heating up as much, and heat also reduces the power of your battery so double dip gain.

I'd say invest in a battery case or pack if your phone can't last you a day.

Well i use fone sixteen hours a day with always on data or wifi...power saving is on...except heptic feedback...as m very use to of haptic feedback.....slow chargering is also a big issue....it drains at the rate of 10% per 25 minutes.....

obviously it's due to ROM i think? one is Sense 4.0 and another is Sense 4.1 though..
mine (viper ROM 2.5.3) with really heavy usage(screen never off), battery last for around 6-7hours..

What's your screen time, it looks like its behaving normally cause you've got a lot of screen on/offs and it wakes at the same time

i'new sorry for my bad english.
when i buy my incredible S (4.0.4 ice cream sandwish) last week my baterry last like 10 hours with normal use (msn, calls, 3g data, wifi, etc) i install super task killer and i discover that a lot of apps were runing in backgorund,
i try this and work for me, because now my baterry last one day
try this:
settings/developer options
when you see menu apps check the option destroy every activity as soon as the users leaves it
in the option Background proces limit i put at most 4 proceses. i hope this help you guys a lot.
when i make this chances my baterry life increase a lot, now i openn super task killer and i see only four procees are runing.

What Rom Are You Using |?

[Q] Power Saver

Guys, do you keep your power saver ON the whole time? Cause I'm doing that. It seems to improve my battery life. My phones battery last more than a day, and while it's ON, I don't see any slow downs or lag which is good. I think it's better to leave it On the whole time. What do you think? Thanks!

I'm keeping Power Save ON always either. The options I've ticked there are the ones for CPU underclock and Data Management. For a week or so I've tried Power Saver combined with Snapdragon BatteryGuru but it didn't improved the battery life which I already was able to achieve so I've uninstalled it. Now I have installed Wi-Fi Matic and Smart Profiles (Free) with Power Save ON and I get the best battery autonomy.

Nope as long sleep mode im good
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

So it's better to leave it ON right? Will the notifications be delayed or the screen will slow down? What do you guys think I should do, leave it ON, or just when the battery is getting low then i'll ON it?

Leave it on. The slow down is barely noticeable, and it'll get you some extra time before the phone needs to be charged.
Personally, I only tick the cpu box.

There's no downside to leaving it on. 1.1GHz is plenty for most everything to run perfectly smoothly and it doesn't affect the GPU so gaming remains excellent. Personally I don't find it hugely useful (maybe an extra hour with my use) but it sure doesn't hurt anything

what do you mean not useful? It is actually. hehe. I mean it gives me more battery life. Do you keep yours ON all the time too?

I've found another great app for battery saving, which switch on/off data connections smarter than Power Saver. I'm talking about GreenPower Free Battery Saver / GreenPower Premium. I hope this helps you. It helped me.

Like I said, with my usage I only get about another hour, and yes that's with it on the whole time. I don't doubt that the way others use their phone could make it have a larger effect (I'm jealous of these people ) , but for me 1hr doesn't cross into the "useful" category.

Forcing the CPU to under clock won't affect your performance but potentially greatly improve battery life, so why not.

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Did you do a full wipe after the update?

Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.

Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.

I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Why are there 3 battery guru icons in your bar? When I used it there was only 1. I got rid of it though after doing a custom ROM. Had no use for it.

Third one appears when low battery for extra savings. Second one I don't have a clue now. I normally have two icons.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.

I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

I have thought the same today to have FB on browser rather than app. It is strange I have tweaked FB app a lot like refresh only 4 hours, no notifications left on but app still awakening mad. Now only FB bothers me other apps behave well and I get pretty good battery consumption.

I am using ARHD 21.0 and it's got 4.3 in it. Android system reports it's taking up like 50 Percent of my battery but I still get more time out of my phone than I did when I was on 4.2.2.
