So earlier today my phone went from 90% to 15% charge instantly. I went to the Verizon store to see about a battery, obvious possible issue. They wanted to reset my phone to factory default but being rooted and on a custom rom, this would not work. Made some excuse about not loosing all my data, grabbed the phone and back to the office.
Imaged the system back to LG stock with root and removed CWM and all the sudden everything works fine. Its current at 65% charge. Before it would not charge over 15%.
Just thought I would share. Anyone else have an issue like this? It was completely random. Phone has been fine on revolt 1.0 for since it released, before that decrapped 1.0. odd that switching back made it work. The guy at verizon said that factory resets will often fix this issue...
H.
I had something like that happen, but my phone was running hot as well. It happened following a spontaneous reboot, the battery never able to charge as fast as it was discharging . I didn't get as far as you to test stock again for other reasons. Here was my thread as I tried to figure it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216468
Well it is working fine now however I forgot to disable updating and it updated last night and I lost root...

off and on. I am an IT guy so I am in and out of my office.
Welp it has happened again...
I am rooted on decrap 1.0 with CWM. Today it has run completely dead in under 5 hours with no usage. I am trying to charge it enough to get in so I can remove CWM before I take it to Verizon as the first thing they will want to do is factory reset it, only need 5 min so I can run revotoolkit.
This is the suck. While I like the phone I am also really starting to regret this phone.
Oddly enough it is charging normally. This battery sudden drain is weird.
I understand your frustration.....mine behaves that way occasionally too. Plus the spontaneous reboots are becoming more frequent as well
[I'm Revolting -- are you? Beamed directly into your brain by Revolt 1.3]
Diddo last week. So Squigs, suggested a data wipe. So I did it and flashed revolt. Well setting up the LG/Verizon stuff was a no go, so I went homeless. I did my initial set up, and then pushed the Revolt. I have been running golden now. I just wonder if there is a way to run 2 roms at the same time, or a double rom. Because my battery life was 4 hours before I did a system wipe, this info was via my battery widget, but when I wiped everything, I have 15 hours when I start my day. I had calibrated my battery prior to all of this as well.
That is the odd part about it, it works fine for a week or so then bam, the battery goes wonky... Then returns to normal, it seems after a battery pull.
That's no good. Sorry to hear it happened again. Running Decrap 1.1 and I haven't had it happen again yet *knock on wood*
I need to find what is eating up the resources. The phone says the android OS is eating over 64% of the battery and the phone is not being used.
Android OS on my phone generally uses close to 80 or 90% on my phone. With that I still got 12 hours yesterday on the stock battery before I was at 3% battery and plugged in. Try a data reset if you already haven't and if that doesn't work I would say you need either a new phone or battery.
My phone has done this multiple times. Once in a while ill get a text. It'll vibrate for 2 minutes with the screen off. Then reboot with 40% less battery

So I ran it dead, charged to 100% and while still on charge ran a battery calibration app (as the app instructed) and I am back again getting 20+ hours on really light usage, 6 - 8 on moderate usage. This is weird. I have 2 upgrades on my other lines, I am really thinking about getting a bionic, reports are it gets exceptional battery life and then selling the revo.
Sigh... while not eating as bad it is still ripping through. I got 1 good day and now it is back. It has been off charger for just over and hour, no usage, and it is down 6% already. Frustrating.
recently experienced the same issue. had a random 2-3 day spurt where the battery was dead by noon.....then all of a sudden, it returned to normal. never did figure out why.
recently received a new phone (but same battery)....installed Home-Less....currently experiencing much better battery life.
from previous posts, sounds like you bought thru verizon......if not, and you bought thru best buy.....i think they will order you a new battery pretty much no questions asked.
After I got my replacement phone about a week ago, I downgraded, rooted, ran homeless battery was doing ok....well, just yesterday my battery when to crap again...just an hour and down to 70....i really wish I could figure out wtf...

I have reverted to stock rom with root. I am using Titanium Backup to freeze the bloatware to see if it has something to do with the modified ROMs. Crossing my fingers.
from my experience, the custom ROM actually helped my battery issues. my problems were encountered when i was un-rooted. what kills my battery the most is the fact that i work on the fringe of both 3g and 4g....causing the phone to constantly cycle between 3g/4g/1x. when i'm on straight 4g, i can last all day without a problem.
i'd be interested in hearing your results.
Any tips for tracking down the culprit? The battery and data manager in the settings just says "Android OS 61%". "Android System" is only 2% and that seems to include all the things I'd guess would use power. My battery life has been ok, not amazing, but I'd get through most days with minimal charging. Now it seems that if I get 4 or 6 hours from a charge I'm lucky.
Is there any way to get finer grained analysis on what exact process, daemon or service is using up my electrons?!
I can't recall what I've installed recently, but something must have changed.
Also I see "Phone Idle" and "Cell Standby", both used 4%. What's the difference, or is this the same thing listed twice?
My wife is having the same problem. Have you been able to track anything down? The OS shouldn't been draining the phone while its sitting in your pocket. We had the battery replaced once thinking that was the problem and after about a week its happening again.
This happened to me too guys. Battery was dying quick and the phone was running hot. Got watchdog lite free from the market and it ended up being a Android media process... Had to take battery out, take out SD card and Sim card...put em back in, reboot, and all was well...I think my Google music was trying to make songs available offline so I cleared google music data and everything has been fine since.

Happening to my wife too. So random?
Mine has been worse the last week and a half... Running eclipse 2.2, but I had to install ADW Launcher EX to keep the phone from crashing upon "unlocking" it... So I figured the launcher drained more battery, but it seems to be more than I expected.

10 hours of battery life, and you are happy? Is this really how Bionic folks are? I am being serious, as I have no clue.
I have a friend that is getting 5hrs on a battery at most, his Bionic is 6mo old. He is 100% stock. He is on 2.3.4, and I am investigating what I should flash his phone to....
7 hours off fully charged battery since the upgrade completed, and down to 10%. Anyone else with battery life issues since receiving the OTA?
edit: phone temperature also runs very hot now since the update-- Gingerbread was quite a bit cooler to run.
I briefly ran the 217 OTA build before installing safestrap and rolling to a Cyanogenmod image.
I noticed that my phone was MUCH hotter than it had been while running the older GB-based rom -- however, I can't comment on the battery life itself.

I've been running .217 leak for a few weeks, and found that if you have a lot of MP3s on an SDcard, the phone will run really hot while it builds the MP3 database.

It does indeed run much hotter with the screen on. Are you experiencing heat issues with Cyanogenmod, or was it only under the 217 OTA?

Was it a one-time or some-time thing, or was the phone constantly hot? Did you remove any of the files, or was there a workaround to prevent building the database?
It's been stated that initially expect very poor battery life immediately after upgrading to ICS and I would expect heat to be another factor as the CPU is in constant use updating all the new databases, sync'ing etc...that is going on.
(stated in the Motorola soak test forums to expect this).

It ran quite hot in the 217 OTA itself. Once I flashed over to cyanogenmod, it got cooler and has been running at roughly the same temperature as when i ran the GB rom.
I have very few MP3's on the SD card. It's actually the card from my old D1 and mostly has nandroid and titanium backup data on it
Odd, I haven't noticed any increase in heat, battery life is still good for me.
Upgraded OTA on monday, so 2 days now. I have a 32gig sd card, and the internal sdcard and the 32gig are loaded full of mp3's, a few videos, and titanium backups.
I want to say battery life is better than normal. But I believe this is only due to fixing a few issues over the weekend with misbehaving apps.

Alright, it's been four days and battery life still sucks-- the phone is now only charging to 60% capacity, and phone spontaneously reboots, runs hot and apps still crash... and then I read that V217 OTA is halted due to "software issues"-- what recourse do I have? I don't pay "insurance" (which works out to the price of a new phone in 2 years). Will VZW address or swap the phone given that this power issue and phone instability was due to software upgrade they prompted on the phone?
Strange... Powered off the Droid 4 before bed and plugged into charger. Woke up and it was at 100%. Powered on, rebooted into safestrap/cwm and wiped cache, Dalvik, and battery stats. Rebooted and left it on charger, in case of quick drain again.
Will see if wife still experiences issues during her day. If so then this is most likely software or OS issue and after I get home from work I'll have to try backup and FXZ to see if a clean OS and gradual install of apps / restore some old data resolves the issue.
Step 1 is hunting down D4 FXZ threads on XDA and checking what's involved.

I've been finding that the battery life and heat has improved for me since installing the OTA. I came from stock, rooted, Gingerbread 219. For the past month or so, I had been noticing that my phone was getting very hot just by charging it (could be due to some app that I couldn't narrow down), but that stopped after the ICS OTA.
Additionally, after the last GB OTA, I noticed that the keyboard lighting would shut off even in complete darkness. That also seems to be fixed with the ICS OTA.

I've had a couple of interesting issues since I updated this morning. First, my media files on my microSD card "disappeared" in that My Gallery no longer displayed pix and vids on the microSD card and Winamp couldn't find any of my MP3s. A reformat of the card seems to have fixed it, for now.
The other issue is that the battery seemed to drain much more quickly than it did when I had Gingerbread. I hope what was said here about that being the case for about the first day or so is true. I would hate to think that this is the nature of ICS.
Didn't do the FXZ / destructive reinstall yet; was doing some more investigation last night-- phone was draining about battery 10% every 10 minutes. The only two things showing under Settings-->Battery were Screen at 60% and Media com.motorola.android.omadrm at 40%. Rebooted, set to charge before bed and now this morning I see other items listed under battery: Android System, Android OS, Mail. Phone is now at 80% battery running on battery for the last 30 minutes. When the screen goes off and I turn it back on, I sometimes see "Battery Extender" flash in the status bar.
Did an
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to get to the bootloader. Then did a
Code:
fastboot devices
and saw that the phone was listed. Launched RSDLite and flashed the fxz xml.zip file and all seemed well...
phone started up, there was a little android icon with gears spinning inside of it and a progress bar crossing. phone rebooted again, "optimized" android applications, and finally came back to the same system as before-- nothing got wiped. I guess I'll have to do a Settings/Privacy/Factory Reset to get an actual wipe.
Rather than doing a wipe, debating setting up safestrap, going to the safe partition and installing an alternate ICS ROM.
Before going that route at all, there are 27GB of about 7000 mp3 files on the external SD. I'm going to pull the external SD and see how battery life is first.
No battery benefit after pulling out the external SD card; still about 10% battery drain every 10-15 mins.
Did the Settings/Privacy/Factory reset-- currently at 30% drain in 120 minutes. Seems improved, but this is also without the external SD in the device.
Saw a few different things in forums, including searching through some of the alternate ROMs for D4 and looking at some of the Razr ICS upgrade battery issue complaints:
--some said they were having battery issues until doing factory wipe and then reinstalling apps from Play Store without restoring old data
--some said there was something stuck on their external sd that required a full re-format and then restoring data back to the external sd which returned battery life to "normal"
--others said that media indexing is taking place and to give it a few days (seriously? is there no way to disable this or uninstall whichever application is doing this??? the wife said she wouldn't mind scrolling through folders rather than having fully indexed media by artist/album/genre)-- And she raises the valid point, "It used to work fine before!" What changed between Ginger Bread and Ice Cream Sandwich to require this much indexing and what's the fix for it given that people can't return back to GB? Which QA engineer at Verizon/GoogleRola thought it would be a good idea to release an update with this massive issue? Is the intent to discourage people from listening to their locally stored music and to have them rely on data plan intensive "cloud services"? Is there some application that can do the indexing on a more powerful machine like a PC and then upload the indices / export databases to the phone?
140 minutes at 60%-- still at full factory resetted stock from this morning, no external SD card in phone, no media on internal SD card.
I suppose Plan B is to call Verizon and tell them that the battery life is complete crap since their update and to request a CLN-- hoping that it's not running ICS.
to clarify: no apps have been restored / reinstalled-- what on earth could possibly be digesting battery like this?
edit: saw someone's post suggesting settings/more.../mobile networks/network mode - preferred network = LTE/CDMA instead of Global. Giving that a shot.
Not sure what did the trick, but after observing 4 hours at 60%, and Disabling a bunch of the bloatware, re-added the external memory card (with all gazillion mp3s on it) and began installing previously used software. A charge later and a few reboots after, was getting 4 more hours with battery at 90%. No idea what did the trick as I ran through too many variables and never reset them to be able to isolate one specific one.
Good luck to anybody else that may experience this issue in the future.
Thanks for the report. I too did the factory reset and reformatted my card. I think I've had a tiny bit of improvement, but still go down to about 60% capacity after two hours away from the charger with moderate use (Facebook, Twitter, Tapatalk, etc., no streaming or media play). I have my display set to auto, have changed the radio to CDMA/LTE only and have disabled as much bloatware as I can. I'm now trying the battery training FoxKat recommends to see if that will help.
For some reason after the 5.1.1 update on my T-mobile Galaxy S6 it was running hot and looking at the power consumption it was draining the battery quickly. It drained about 15% of the battery in less than an hour w/ nothing running in the background, and the battery usage is displaying 1% for everything for some reason. The one on top is com.tmobile.pr.adapt.
I wasn't sure if T-mobile pulled something stupid like making one of their apps that communicates to their network, but only over their data (i.e. not over wifi - like they do with showing your account information.) So, I turned off the WiFi to let it run off of LTE for a while. It cooled down and power consumption went back to normal (for being on LTE.) I let it sit for a couple hours that way, then switched back to WiFi and within a few minutes it was heated back up and power draining fast for some reason. There's no indication of things being downloaded but it's drawing way too much power.
Note I've rebooted it 3 times w/ same type of power activity.
Any thoughts, and anyone know how to role back to 5.0?
If you took the ota or used Odin to update you can't downgrade. I told everyone first thing this morning a downgrade won't be possible. Have you done a factory reset since updating?
I did a factory reset when I updated and battery life has been good with no strange issues.

Haven't tried a factory reset yet. I figured I couldn't downgrade as that's typical. I left it overnight w/ WiFi enabled and it drained downfrom 100% to 60% within the first 2hrs and then started draining slower to about 36% over then next 10hrs.
I topped it off w/ WiFi turned on and it felt like it was running hot. Left the house to run some errands for an hour and it only dropped to 96% (WiFi turned on but not connected.)
I've just got back from that, I'm going to let it sit for an hour w/ WiFi on but will leave it sit and see what happens. Personally I don't want to do a Factory Reset but if I'm still having the issue that's where I'll go. I had a similiar issue for a while on my S4 but it went away after a couple weeks.
EDIT: Ok, almost an hour later and it's only dropped about 3% while the WiFi was enabled and connected. I guess whatever was causing that has settled down. Thankfully no Factory Reset was required.
It is because of a stupid bug on WiFi calling (the mobile antenna does not turn off and it drains the battery). If you want to use wifi, just disable wifi calling, and you should be ok
I'm having a similar experience as TAZ427. Just updated my T-Mobile GS6 edge to 5.1.1 with OTA. I immediately noticed the phone was somewhat warmer. Battery monitor reveals that com.tmobile.pr.adapt is now #1 on the list. I tried killing that process several times but keeps coming back.
I also notice that despite being connected to my home WiFi, the "4GLTE" icon comes on and off constantly (1 second on, 3 seconds off, repeat...). Before the update, 4GLTE rarely came on while on WiFi. So probably the increased battery drain and heat are due to radio usage, not necessarily extra CPU utilization.
Not sure what com.tmobile.pr.adapt is for, or if it can be disabled. Would love to hear any guidance on that. As a side note, I had TMO grant me a SIM unlock -- I'm actually on Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO). So this service is running despite my phone not actually using the T-Mobile network.
I'm going to continue observing for the next couple of days before doing a factory reset. Really hoping to avoid that...

I think I found a semifix, someone else will have to investigate because I have no idea what I actually did or if it's a longterm fix...
Go to Data Usage in Settings, find com.tmobile.pr.adapt or whatever it is, turn OFF Background Data. Go to Application Manager, find com.tmobile.pr.adapt and Force Close, Clear Data. I wasn't able to disable it but it seems the Background Data being turned off fixed it.

Not sure what com.tmobile.pr.adapt is for, or if it can be disabled. Would love to hear any guidance on that. As a side note, I had TMO grant me a SIM unlock -- I'm actually on Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO). So this service is running despite my phone not actually using the T-Mobile network.
I'm going to continue observing for the next couple of days before doing a factory reset. Really hoping to avoid that...

I am having the same issue and my phone is not usable now since the battery is awful. My s6 is temporary unlocked for a month since I am out of the states. I am afraid this is happening for unlocked s6's only. The trick of restricting background data for the "com.mobile.pr.adapt" seems to be working for now.

My S6 is not unlocked, it's a T-Mobile variant right out of the box activated on MetroPCS. If I had to venture a guess it would be that this is only happening to phones not on T-Mobile, not necessarily just unlocked. I'm assuming that com.tmobile.pr.adapt is some kind of phonehome or data reporter for T-Mobile but since we're not on T-Mobile it keeps bouncing back and getting stuck in some stupid loop.
I have the same problem with my unlocked t-mobile device (running on att). I wouldn't be so pissed if the update at least fixed the memory drain, but noooooope. Now I'm stuck with a 450mb phone that crashes and has bad battery (last two are new).
I did that small hotfix, and will check back.
Has everyone cleared the cache partition? Since the update, is the download booster automatically set to on?

The download booster is set to off after the 5.1.1 update
Happy to report that for me, this "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" issue has effectively gone away. Things started getting better after I cleared the cache and data for this process. I also restricted its background data as was suggested by others. Not sure which of those actions did the trick. Just theorizing, but another possibility is that T-Mobile was simply collecting post-update metrics from their phones for QA purposes, and that this was all just a short term annoyance. Anyone still seeing battery drain and heat higher than normal due to this process?
Anyway, "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" is no longer registering on my battery usage menu, or on CPU utilization list when I run OS Monitor. The phone is performing well overall (no worse than before the 5.1.1 update, anyway).
Excellent battery life for me. I had over 17 hours in total & 3+ hours on screen time. Only problem is i cant seem to install downloaded apps manually
Thanks

I think I found a semifix, someone else will have to investigate because I have no idea what I actually did or if it's a longterm fix...
Go to Data Usage in Settings, find com.tmobile.pr.adapt or whatever it is, turn OFF Background Data. Go to Application Manager, find com.tmobile.pr.adapt and Force Close, Clear Data. I wasn't able to disable it but it seems the Background Data being turned off fixed it.

After the 5.1.1 update this morning my S6 went from a 100% charge to 10% in about 2.5 hours which was disheartening. Tried a factory reset which didn't help. Even charging from a USB port didn't stop it from draining the battery (just drained slower)! Called TING and they had no idea. But this seems to be working for me too. Thanks!!! I'll email TING to let them know about the fix, may help with a future update?

I think it has more to do with T-Mobile pushing a fix or an update, because whatever they did to 5.1.1 on their end royally screwed anyone using their branded S6 on another carrier. I don't know the proper channels to make T-Mobile aware of this.
I have the same annoying problem on my 920T. I bought it from t-mo, unlocked it and am using it in Italy. As soon as I got the 5.1.1 update, com.tmobile.pr.adapt started killing my battery. I just enabled the "restrict background data" and will let you know how it goes...
Hello I would like to begin by saying I am new to the forum.
I have a Moto Turbo XT1225 from India. I reside in UK.
I decided I wanted to Root the phone and I did.
I used TWRP after I unlocked the phone from the Motorola Website.
I have been installing the Nightly-quark updates on a regular basis. I must the phone has very stable up until now.
The phone is currently running cm-12.1-20150915-NIGHTLY.
I would say that the phone started to play up when I updated on cm-12.1-20150905-NIGHTLY. But it might of been on early versions of the NIGHTLY updates.
Problems I have are the GPS is not working in apps. Google Maps and Co-Pilot. Also the Battery rapidly drains itself after a full charge and with moderate use i.e. making calls, playing a game, checking mail and the phone would only last me 6-5 hours. Where as before I was getting more than 15hrs out from the day I got the phone.
Please can someone help me sort these problems out as I struggling to use this phone as I am concerned about the battery draining itself. Because when it is on standby it is still rapidly draining the battery.
Any Advice and techniques and how to resolve these problems would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for looking and the advice.
I have downloaded TopNTP and tried to use it with Google maps and co -pilot. Both programs can not locate GPS signal. I followed what ever was stated in the thread.
Please can someone help as I am at a dead end. I have to keep charging the phone so I carry my charger with and I am always looking for a plug.
Thanks.
Xt1225 Battery problem resolved!!!!!
Hello I did a factory reset using TWRP and it has resolved the battery issue.
This is fantastic as the phones battery will know go without charge for 1 day, with moderate use.
I hope this helps anybody facing these problems. Make sure you back up all your photos and videos and contacts before you do the factory re set.

GPS Problem Fixed on XT1225
I did exactly what it said listed in this comment and resolved my gps issues. I am also using GPS Status.
What you must do is search for the a copy of the installation file if you were to revert your xt1225 to its original operating system. I found the following file
QUARK_RETEU_INDIA_5.0.2_LXG22.33-12.11_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and copied the radio.img file. Used the steps below and now the GPS works fantastic.
Thank You as this was the only thing letting the phone down because this phone has excellent battery life and just about every other feature works brilliantly.

For those who are facing problems with GPS (low accurate gps) i manage to fix it by flashing the radio.bin from the RETBR_XT1225_4.4.4_KXG21.50-9_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip over the CM12 installation.
I have the Brazilian version of xt1225.
After installing CM 12 follow these steps:
1 - Extract "radio.bin" from RETBR_XT1225_4.4.4_KXG21.50-9_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2 - Boot you phone into bootloader mode
3 - Run the following line:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash radio radio.img

This is the twrp gps fix here that worked perfectly for me
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725320
GPS:
Going back and for changing the ROM may couse GPS problem, and usr cant get a GPS lock.
To solve is necessary to erase the radio stats, that can be achieved via this zip "Clean_modem_status.zip" flash it via TWRP no wipe is need.
