I don't know what it's happening, one day I let my cellphone discharging completely by accident and since I turned it on the clock has extreme delays of about 15 mintues per 5 hours... (waking up for work is a problem with this) I've trying of course restarting and cheking and unchecking the "use provider values" options with no avail... any help?
I have similar issue but only around 40 seconds each day. I set my cpu to 128 minimum, I suspect this is the cause.
I downloaded an app called clocksync from the market here, and set it to auto sync the clock in 12 hours or whichever time period you prefer. Hope it helps

first of all...sorry for my poooor english!
tuesday i've received my Kaiser (vodafone branded - Vodafone1615): i've charged it till 100% then i go to bed...
yesterday morning i've found battery @ 92%...
i'm always online with my exchange server but...till monday i've used a Wizard and i've never experienced this battery issue....
this morning i've done some calls (about 45 minutes) and listen some music via stereo bt....(10 minutes) and battery go to 42%
any idea? i have to ask support for my new pda?
thanks to all
Tommaso
Condition the battery properly and see what happens over a few days.
Mine lasts up to 3 days but average is 2 days of usage per charge for me. I am not a heavy phone user but I send and receive several text messages a day, and use the phone about 1 hour per day minimum but a max of 2 hours, have gmail getting pulled down every 30 minutes and windows live pushing email as it arrives. While at work all day I have a constant connection to 3G and at home I get Edge.
Make sure that your screen is set to the dimmest setting that is good for you
Make sure that your exchange and any internet is set to an interval that's the largest that you can handle
Make sure that you don't have any GPS applications running
Do registry tweaks or run kaisertweak and go through all commonly known settings to help this.
I know there are a lot of threads talking about battery life but I've made this one to look at trying to find the best roms, radios and tweaks to get the most out of the diamond.
Can anyone with a battery life of over 10 hours on heavy use (regular text and email use, maybe an hour of music and an hour of web surfing / gps and atleast half an hour of calls a day) please give any details of rom, radio, tweaks youve applied.
That way we can try and find the best solution for optimising battery life .
Im currently getting 10-12 hours of runtime with duttys 2.6 rc1, radio 1.00.25.08 and no tweaks applied. Screen brightness set to auto. Bluetooth and wifi off, wired headset plugged in for about 1.5hours of music.
Thanks in advance to everyone that helps by writing down their info!
If you let the device running without going to suspend mode, the battery would last for about 4 to 5 hours. That how many hours the battery would last and you can't do anything much with it, unless you buy the extended battery which would last about 7 to 8 hours.
By going to suspend mode (pressing the power button), the battery is put into suspend mode where it uses the minimum power which would last for about a week (if you never wake the device up after a full recharge).
So, my point here is, it doesn't matter what you do, you could only use your device for 4 to 5 hours (usage time, not including suspend mode) and believe me, you can't possibly tell how long you've actually used the device unless you use software to tell you exactly how long you have used the device (not including suspend mode) as sometimes you thought you're listening to music for 20 minutes but actually you've been listening to music for 30 minutes, or you've waked up the device from time to time to send/receive sms which could have totalled up to 1 hour, where you aren't aware of.
Hey guys,
About a week ago I started rapidly losing battery life.
I've done a bunch of research and installed task killers, OS monitors, Spare Parts, etc. I've uninstalled apps that had wake_lock and done a Reset to Factory Defaults,changed the brightness, as well as performed a recalibration for the battery (one cycle). I also turned the phone to Airplane mode since I moved offices and thought maybe that was a problem.
I am not sure why this is the problem, but I have notices through spare parts that my phone does not go to sleep. The time it gives for Time without Sleeping (under "other Usage->Last Unplugged) is typically about the same time as I have had it off the charger. The phone will not last a full day anymore (Actually I'm lucky if it's still on when I get home from work). The only program that I can think of is the new maps application.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there a good way to find out if there is a specific program that is not allowing sleep (w/o uninstalling everything and adding them back one by one)?
2) How do I fix this problem? Would a hard reset work?
3) Generaloes anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Why wont my phone go to sleep?
4) Could this have anything to do with the new maps/navigation update that Google sent out OTA last week?
Right now it has not slept for over 5 hours, but I been pressing the power button (not turning it off) when I put it down.
I ca provide a list of programs if that helps, probably some statistics too
Thanks!
In Spare Parts under Battery usage, there is a "Partial wake usage" option. Did you check that to see what is keeping it awake?
Since Last Unplugged:
Android System: 6m 16s (blue bar)
Dialer: 1m 40s (blue bar)
Facebook: 56s
Google: 44s
Media 28s
Google Voice: 20s
Calendar: 20s
Messaging 4s
None of that seems to make sense when you look at:
Other Usage: Time Spent Without Sleeping: 6h 36m 1s..
Maybe I am mis-reading it?
Thanks!
Though I know gb roms don't have such a great battery life it seems as if my battery is draining faster than it should despite changing to different roms, calibration, changing batterries and deleting apps or widgets . (Currently gamrez rom which has been said to have quite a good battery ) .my battery drain is about 10 percent an hour with a mild to idle use. it's been like that for my old battery and even for a new 1800mah. I suspect there might be a program respobsible for this.
Since these programs dont appear under battery usage, yet are considered services I think the culprit is one of them.it might be that one of them is preventing the phone from going to deep sleep so the battery drains when idle.
My running programs are:
Go launcher
Go keyboard
RocketDial pro
3G watchdog (sync every 15 minutes)
Call meter 3g
Adaway
Auto rotate
Sanity (only for auto handsfree)
Bussiness calander free
(before anyone blames it on these three, it happenend even when they've been removed )
Viber
Whatsapp
skype (service autorun disabled and usually not logged in)
No stock email
Also as far as widgets are concerned I have a widget for callmeter usage. 3g watchdog and bussiness calendar agenda. and sync for google stuff , whatsapo and viber.
I know it's a lot of stuff, but I've been tweaking and picking these programs since I really need their functionality.
Under battery usage most of it goes to display (about 50%)
People report better battery under heavier usage so something most be wrong.
Didn't have time or nerve to switch to ics but I'm affraid it a program so it won't make a difference

There are many system monitor apps available on market.. install one of them and try to find out what is draining your battery.. sometimes it turns out to be the least expected app/ service..
Hi,
install "Quick system info pro". In the info tab, tap "battery", then "battery history" and you'll have all the info you need.
Pierre.
Thnx, I've install badass battery monitor in hope to put an end to this mystery. Still, I was hopnig someone could rake a look at the list i published and maybe shed some light if anything pops out.
I'll keep waiting for more replies.

Go keyboard
I've just installed go keyboard and typed 'top -m 5' to see top cpu users. go keyboard was in first place. After one hour phone idle, battery has been drained by 5% Maybe it's just my cfg problem. But.. that's just an observation.
This is just an idea and I might be totally wrong.
But doesn't it take like 10min for a phone to go to deep sleep?
So if you got am app syncing every 15min you get out of every 15 min 5 min of deep sleep.
It's to say you would normally have 50 min of deep sleep in an hour whereas you would have like 15 min.
And you could check the percentage of how much battery an app uses through the battery info in the settings and to check if your phone goes into deep sleep you can instal the app CPU spy.

So here's the deal. Wasn't getting great idle drain but figured I'd give it a while to see if it worked itself out. It hasn't. Took my phone off the charger and slept for less than 8 ours and loss almost 16% about 2% per hour.
I had wifi on. Blue tooth off. gps off. i have greenify stopping my voicemail and facebook app. I have about 60 something apps frozen. Android OS took up most of my battery life as you can see in pictures. Went to partial wakelocks and saw email at 30seconds but there are only like 45 secs of partial wakelocks so not that big of a deal. Noticed that better battery stats said my phone was awake for almost an hour (I was on it for 10 minutes looking at stuff which is why the screen on pic saus about 10 minutes, the screen wasn't on at all from unplug to me waking up). Noticed under kernal lock that something was keeping stuff on for almost an hour.
So why on earth was my phone on for almost an hour of the 8 hours i was asleep? Further, why does my battery drain look like it was pretty consistent over that time even though the phone was on for an hour. It makes me think that it continuously must be turning itself back on. I know that wifi is the problem for some people but I figured that I would be able to see that in partial wakelocks yet it isn't there. I can try changing wifi stuff if some sees something showing that it is wifi issues.
Otherwise, maybe i should return the phone???
So , I would say that the main issue is your mail service process. It woke up 184 times, every time it wakes its going to keep the phone awake for a little before the phone completely goes back to sleep. it is work related i assume?

yes that mail account is work and there is an account for my school. It is the email apk that bypasses security that plenty of other people are running. Do you think that it is an account issue or the Email.apk? So the 180 wake ups only totaled for 30 something seconds of partial wakelock. Is it not showing upas a partial wakelock and that is why the phone says that it was on for so long?
also, I read that something having to do with wifi and the qcom_rx_wakelock cause severe battery drain. Know anything about that.
So, yes, the app only worked for 33 seconds because each wakelock probably required only a few milliseconds to do what it needed to do.. but the phone does not go to sleep instantly after each wakelock. so for each of the 184 times that app woke your phone up, it was "awake" for 5-15 seconds or however long it takes the phone to decide its time to go to sleep again. Awake time for me is almost always a function of screen time, like 1.5x - 2x my screen time.

so any idea on a solution besides setting up for my email to only check every half hour. It is set to push right now. Given I don't need it at night really and i can set something up to change when it is allowed to check for emails. But sometimes I am up at 2 because I get an email that requires me to do work. Also, the qcom_rx_wakelock that kept m phone on for 32 minutes or something doesn't seem to have to do with the email. But maybe when the email tries to access the internet that wakelock runs to try to get wifi...
edit: I did more research on the qcom_rx_wakelock. I still don't understand it all but it is some issue that the 4.2.2 update came with. It causes major battery drain on some wifi networks and not on some others. It has to do with the wifi connection continuously having to talk to the router and waking the phone up which is also tied to some apps that are syncing. People on nexus's have created patches that fix the issue, but I don't think I'm going to be doing anything like that. I PMd a member to try and get more information.
For now I have two routers at my house and will be switching to using the other router for my wifi connection on my phone to see if it creates the same battery draining issues while in sleep. If I get any more information I will update again. I also think this could explain a lot of the reason that some people are experiencing sub-par battery life while others are getting great battery life. Depending on what router (work, school, home, public place) you are on might make the phone constantly turn itself on and off trying to reconnect or do something with that wifi network. I know many people have had 15 to 20% battery drain overnight then turned wifi off and just stayed on 3g/4g connection and battery drain went to 4 to 5% over night. FYI
I just got the Moto X and have a few things installed. My question is, in the battery mete graph you have screen on and awake. Is the awake always supposed to be on? I'm guessing it is since it has the touchless controls always listening.
Figured why it won't go to sleep. Has anyone ever had it where the phone app gets stuck and stays awake? Only way to get rid of it for me is to reboot.
