Do you have any radios on? (like cellular, wi-fi or GPS or...) I find that leaving the wi-fi radio overnight does drain the system heavily.
Also, do you have Activesync set up to update your email on a schedule or manually? If on automatic, this would kick off the cellular or wi-fi radio as well...
Also, battery burn is also heavily affected by which radio you are using. Do you happen to know which one is installed?
Some faulty programs can also prevent the phone from entering standby, which will drain the battery quickly.
well,,
i just now disabled auto email check..
even tho i hope that checkin every 4hrs or so doesnt kill a battery overnight..
maybe thatll fix it..
thats the only thing i see to do..
i ll turn off auto check for weather .
i ll also turn off wifi..
thanx for that reminder
im running l26 v 11 standard
tahnx for the replies..

Hi Guys
i've heard that you can turn off the gps which would imply its permantley on, is this true? If so, any one know how to turn it off as I can't find what is probably an obvious menu/option.
I need to turn it off as i am only getting six hours of idle on any charge of my phone - have an extended batt on order and it is using push email (constantly connected) which is a must for me.
No real complaints apart from battery (which was expected and being sorted) and seems pretty good so far.
Oh, anyone else ditch touchflo? Thought it was rubbish myself
If GPS was able to be turned off, how much battery might it save? The difference could be transforming!
I personally don't think that GPS would be permanently turned on.
Maybe the interface, which "looks" if a demand on GPS data exists...
IF the GPS would be permanently turned on, the battery drain would
be very high, and the device would get assumingly very hot.
mine eats battery more than a fat bird eats bugers and mcdonalds and yes, its very hot as well .. although, this could be coz its pretty much always plugged in.... ?
GPS is only 'on' when it is called for by any external program. If it were on all the time the phone would be flat in about two hours regardless what you did with it.

do you KNOW that or are you assuming that?
I know I have seen programs that turn it off just as usual, the search on here has let me down. If this was definetly the case, then why would programs like these be written?

Yes, it is a known fact that the Diamond heats up when you are charging it (to levels some may find concerning) but HTC have dismissed this as 'normal operation'.
If it was on all the time you would have an instant fix on where you are straight away .
If it was on all the time your battery would last as said around two hours
I think it is in standby mode if this is what you mean but does need software activation to enable it on as in transmit and receive .
Not sure if turning off standby mode would be a good idea but if you google for the chipset name and have a read up it will let you know these kind of things
Are you sure you guys are not getting confused with GPRS, not GPS?
That can drain battery life, and by disabling GPRS Auto Attach using Advance Config tool, can extend your battery by around 40%!

Hii,
I noticed something after i upgrade to 2.2. JPM.
my battery drain so fast! i did check the battery use and i amazed to see that on the cell standby i have 50% time without signal - what is not true... i have full signal all the time.
i found when i go to airplan mode and then back the 50% starts go down and down...
what is the problem??? someone else have this problem like me?

It's an old bug apparently not fixed in froyo. I first noticed it on official JM1. Turning the radio off and on helps, but it is annoying. You have to check every time you unplug your phone from the charger or might be out of juice in 5 hours

So every one have it???
and what was the fix for the 2.1 roms?
cuz i did try go back to 2.1 and i had the same problem, and i didn't have it before i update to 2.2...
had that bug too -.-
So nothing to do?
and if i want go back to 2.1. how can i fix this there?
There is no permanent solution that I know of. So every time I unplug the charger or restart the phone, I check the "Cell standby" (at least I try to not forget to). Turning the radio off and on fixes it.
*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> Scroll down -> Turn off radio, Turn on radio.
That's it.

This Is still happening in JPO rom. Has anyone found a fix?
I'm having this damn bug for the 1st time with Stock JPU + Voodoo.
I used to be on JPK, JG4, JPO, and never had the problem.
This is some annoying crap, i'm thinking about writing a service to pop a warning when the problem presents itself, and maybe even automatically toggle flight mode to fix it.
I notice my network icon in the notification bar bounces from "H" to "3G" every few seconds, when mine is doing it...
enable Flight mode, and then disable Flight mode, works to clear it for me...
I am using Paragon RC5(JS3 based 2.2.1), with KP1 modem, also does it on JK3 and JK4 modems too.
Hi,
I have been struggling with my battery lasting not more than 15 hours once it has been fully charged, so I decided to investigate and found out about the deep sleep issue that a lot of people are facing. I would be attaching screenshots of CPU spy and better battery stats.
Most details are in screenshots, i would be glad to provide whatever else might be required !
I hope someone would diagnose and help me resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance

Try the fix in the link, below, also turn of account auto syncing.
also you could try the free version of watchdog, to see which apps/processes are using your cpu.

I had applied this fix .. and i had managed to get healthy deep sleep upto 70% of time in last charge discharge cycle, but in this cycle the situation is back to old one .. i.e. No Deep Sleep .. and i dont know what caused it, this time around. This fix works but it might sudeenly stop working for no reason.
Thats why i am posting the screenshots so that people can look at them and suggest me what caused it ...

This will only work if the root the phone ... well i didnt want to do that for as long as possible.
Ok not sure about network locator, audio1 is I think about a bug of android which you can test by going to sounds and turning of the options in bottom. Especialky the sound when touchscreen is touched. Its sucks but should fix that.
Network thing, again not sure but could be fixed by turning off network dormancy in *#9900#.
Next to this test strange route: turn on airplane mode, turn off phone, pull battery for 30sec then tunr on phone and turn off airplane mode. Dont know why but some reported it works. Could work in your instance.
After this check this thread for addition tips http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649041

Hi guys,
ive had my Z1 for 2 weeks now and it seems like im not having much luck with the battery life. Ive seen the topic where others have shared there battery life and im not getting anything close to those. On average I use my phone for dolphin browser, whatsapp and instagram as well as calling/texting. I know my phone doesnt seem to go into deep sleep much but I cannot work out what it is thats keeping it awak. Ive attache some screenshots from BBS.
Can anyone help and give me some pointers on what it could be? Really dont want to have to factory reset the phone and start fresh again.
Thanks
Yeah too many Wakelocks... Turn of all your keyboard sounds +vibrations in sound settings + turn off google now... Also turn off all the locations settings + GPS etc when not using it... battery life will go up ^^^^

Ive tried turning location settings off, doesnt help at all. I dont use google now, dont know if its running in the background cos ive never set it up. Keyboard sounds are off and gps is only ever turned on when I use maps.
Any other tips on what I can do?
I don't understand you have 8 hours using and still have 49% power left. should your battery normal?!
mine looks more bad than you but I feel ok.
I have google now gmail hotmail hangouts gps sometime bluetooth all on.
Wow, there's something causing serious wakelocks... Can you try freezing/disabling google maps? com.google.android.gsm is the one, and I believe it's something with google maps... Try disabling/freezing/uninstalling it to at least see if that helps...

Get this app DS Battery saver... It forces deep sleep... You can manually add programs which don't cause wakelocks and hence won't be terminated when screen is off.. My battery life was much better with this!

THe phone has been on for 8 hrs, but ive only used it for just under 2 hrs (check screen on time). The rest of the time it should be in deep sleep but mine prefers to sit at 300hz and chew up battery.

Thank you for this suggestion buddy, Ive frozen Gmaps and it seems my phone is no longer draining battery. My phone will last a lot longer now and I dont have many google wakelocks. :good:
i dont know why so many website (gsmarena...hint hint) or some of you saying the Z1 battery life is terrible, my z1 battery life can outlast almost twice my galaxy s3, and outloast my htc one, i have been using my phone screen time on for 4hours 53 mins with 14 hours standby i still have 15% left, browsing (wifi on most time, gps off, location service on, bluetooth off, data on), emails, txt, little videos, i dont use stamina mode, it seems drains more battery on than have it off
Hey guys, I am running stock 4.0.3 rooted with supersu and using the latest franco kernel. I am getting massive drains even while using the phone on wifi and keeping it on standby, while connected to wifi. Getting drains about 3.3-4% per hour on standby on wifi. This is absolutely crazy. I tried some older suggestions mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62074306&postcount=118 . But even that doesn't work. Battery drain is normal on mobile data, but when connected to wifi it absolutely goes crazy. Can anyone provide any insight? There are no rogue apps, I have been checking through better battery , wld , accu battery, etc.
You've probably already turned it off, but I'll just point it out in the rare instance, but make sure scanning is off. However, I did notice that you said it is when wifi is on and your phone is sleeping when you get that drain. A fix is to go into wifi settings and under "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep", pick the only plugged in option. Ideally, you should get to the bottom of this issue, but if you don't have the time and no one else figures it out, this may help.
EDIT: I wonder if smart wifi switcher has anything to do with it? Wifi connectivity fluctuates and if you have two connections that have very similar signal strength, would your phone constantly switch between the two networks in a futile manner? If this does happen, I can see that draining your battery significantly, but this is based on the premise that the switcher does not have some type of buffer zone where it does not switch if the difference is negligible.

Yep, I always keep scanning off! And i did try with that suggestion too, I changed the setting to never and it still drained battery. Wifi stayed on for sometime even though i set it to never and then finally turns off after a period of time, but i think that could potentially drain more battery? Are you using wifi all the time? What are your stats?
I have all those settings turned off, smart switcher, ipv6, scanning, etc

Last thing I can think of is trying to use stock kernel to see if it is FK that is the culprit. FK shouldn't be the issue, but perhaps something screwed up during the flashing process? Now I'm essentially just asking you to do trial and error

Note that I'm in Beta 3 and running its stock kernel so I don't really see the usefulness of giving my battery stats, but yes, battery life for me has been good and unaffected by wifi draining.

It's most likely not just you, but based on my perusal of the 3T forums (especially on the FK thread because that's most relevant to how you set up your phone), not many people are facing this issue. Does betterbattery stats not show anything funky or out of the ordinary? Can you post a screenshot of your betterybattery stats including the kernel wakelocks, alarms, and partial wakelocks page?

I'm beginning to think it's not wifi, but the app Saavn. It may act differently when on wifi vs on cellular data and remain active constantly when on wifi. I google searched the app and its potential of being poorly optimized app, and there are reports of it never turning off and running in the background. If that is the case, it should be showing up on BBS as more of a drain, but for some reason it isn't. Still, try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
In the end, if this doesn't solve the issue, I'm beginning to think a factory reset maybe in order. I wish you also gave me BBS alarm wakeups page because that would help see if Saavn is constantly firing off alarms or not.
Go to your "Location settings" and into the 3 dot menu in upper right. Turn everything off.
do you have wifi calling on? turn it off and see

I don't have any option to turn off wifi calling in there. I am running the beta 7.1.1 now though. But the problem still persists. Too much drain when using wifi, it's being shown as android system drain. I've seen many people reporting it, so it's not just me. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what's causing it!
Issue resolved with latest 4.1.0 and some usage pattern changes. Mod, please close the thread. Thank you!
