Hi,
im having battery drain problems the phone wont last more than 5-6 hours send 20-30 texts listen to some music, i have turned off backgroud data and live wallpapers, im using something called advanced task killer free to kill the apps that are running, but i close them the re open the task bar and stuff like music player has reopened
ive also seen a post about which batterys are better is there a better one i can buy? my batterys a G7
any ideas ?
cheers
Stop using the task kiler and you'll probably see better battery life. Task killers have been proven more harmful than helpful on the newer versions of android so using it is pointless. Also pay attention to what you have synced and how often. tons of web apps synching will drain the battery faster, as will having the gps and wifi turned on--if you're not using them, disable them.
thanks for the reply i will remove the task manager,
auto sync is turned off and i only use email by refreshing the inbox
Come here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884816
In short: Have you recently updated via Kies to JPY version? If so, stop using your wifi. There is a bug with wifi with this newest firmware.
hi,
i update to 2.2.1 through kies
Do you use wifi?
If yes, switch to data, battery life will be better. You should be able to get around 48h of light active usage (i mean browsing and calling and what not) with 3g data on.
i dont really use the wifi, signals really good around me, i only got the phone friday, brought it of a friend,
charged the phone fully before i went out last night about 7pm by 1.30am the phone had cut off, that was only using the facebook andriod app and sending text messages.
Than there is something terribly wrong. Do a wipe and factory reset, if you didnt after getting a device from your friend.. It seems that some application misbehaves and drains battery.
You can check it by typing *#*#info#*#* in dialer
Several options there, if there is something strange you will see it. (suggest looking into Battery history, usage statistics)
i dont know how to type in dialer sorry sounds very stupid all i have are digits

Have you tried reconditioning your battery yet?

From the above post:
TechnicR said:
About my battery life:
Previously I was on Darky's v5, with that the phone lasted 2-3 days with normal usage.
After flashing to v7 (with 100% battery) I also got the fast drainage problem. Here is what I did:
1) Turn OFF phone
2) Charge till it says it is FULL
3) Start in RECOVERY
4) WIPE battery stats
5) RESTART android (yes, it might already be on 98% or so)
6) USE phone heavily. Don't worry if it drops too fast. Use it till the Android system turns OFF automatically (it happens when your battery is below 1% - for me the phone was on 1% for about 40 mins. This is where it heavily myscalculated
7) PLUG IN your charger, TURN ON android and wait till it is FULLY charged again. (It is better if you don't use the phone at this charging up)
Now, after you disconnect the charger, you should still have 100% for some time (I've been using the phone for 32 mins - writing this post - and it is still on a hundred percent) and with this, I got back the 2-3 days battery life with normal usage.
Also, you should set WiFi to: "Never when plugged in" and by default I disable Data Network. But my phone is using WiFi all the time so it doesn't really matter
So to summerize this method, the key is to show the phone the battery's minimal capacity too, by using it till it is on null. Because with charging to 100% than wiping or flashing only introduces the maximum capacity to the system and the minimum is only guessed. THIS gives the faulty reportes and makes us think the phone drains too fast.
Try this method, than feel free to share your results

This may not be the exact case you are having, but the idea is the same. Give it a shot.
nvm, 'info' stands for '4636'
You could also use titanium backup and freeze some apps from running

Hey, I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Have you found a solution yet? I deleted the task killer just now, but did that work for you?
Thanks.
Same problem
hi
I have the same problem. I bought it 2-3 days ago. today i charged it full while fone was off, switched on at around 8AM my usage detail was
3g was on
gmail on sync
skype on sync
5-10 min of skype calling
5 min of normal calling
5-10 min of facebook browsing through android app
30 min of chatting on skype
at 2PM the fone was at 20% battery. My wifi and gps were off all day.
is there anything i can do to get atleast 15 hours of battery with normal use
regards
harris
If you are having issues with your battery, before you try killing tasks, changing setting and what not and especially if you are running custom ROMs, then you need to recondition your battery. The same goes for anyone who is having high drain issues.
If you follow the steps I posted from someone else's post and then find that your battery is not having issues, then start looking at your modem (if using a custom ROM or you've upgraded to new firmware).
ive done a factory restore, ive found what my usage says idle 4% the display 80%
contrast is switched right down
i know im not using any custom roms im using the firmware that you download through kies

I'd suggest posting this question in the Galaxy S general forum as you'll get a lot more responses
Same here
Data network activated (2g or 3g) phone die after 11 hours.
When data network deactivated phone die after 2 days!
I installed whatsapp, gtalk and one email account with 10 mins refresh.
I never use wifi.
Drain 7 - 8 % per hour when phone idle (Phone on with 3g data but without using it)
I really don't know how to "finger pointing" suspicion app via battery history.

I have a nexus one running stock and I cant get through a day of battery power. if im lucky maybe it can last me 8hrs is it common? I have wifi off bluetooth off I dont have live wallpapers or widgets running. Also seems like either tmo or htc devices dont get good reception my hd2 & N1 always switch from 3g to edge like every minute sucks.

Mine can last 8 hours with heavy usage, how old is your Nexus One?
Pay attention to running services and processes, use a task killer to find out what applications are running automatically and consuming much CPU.

I bought it on ebay the user said he had it for less than 3 months so im assuming maybe 4 months old. I have only emails running auto 2 are normal 1 exchange for work. I maybe use 30 min of calling few emails and maybe 50 sms and 1 hour to 2 of web browsing and also 2 hours of music. I was thinking of under clocking the phone to 600 to see if it gets better.

Get memory optimizer from market and set it to moderate settings, should help.

Check if you have the stock battery. I have 2 extra batteries I've bought off eBay, one of them can last me between 10-14 hours moderate usage like yourself, and the other about 7-10 hours (sucks!). The battery that came with my phone lasts between 24-36 hours (I know, huge range but it really depends on how I use it.)

I tried that battery back in April and found it no better than the stock battery, even after conditioning. It's sat in my spares box somewhere and I kept using stock.
My stock battery's at 68% after 12 hours today (not heavy usage). My heaviest usage is on work days and I have desktop docks at home and work to top up the charge where necessary.

What apps top your battery status list for usage?
- -
Monkey see, monkey do.
Also, try to take the SD out and test the phone for a day without external memory.
You might have a corrupt multimedia file on the SD card, happened to me not a week ago. The battery would last about 8-10 h, while it usually lasts for the whole day with about a third to spare at the end.
If that doesn't help, then go to the market, and get "Usage Timelines Free". It's an app that shows recent CPU usage in the notification area. When you notice high usage, select the notification and see what app is hogging the system. You might want to do Preferences->Start at system startup, and also Sort->CPU Usage before that happens.
The indication of something not being right with multimedia files is an abnormal activity of Android System which you could also notice at the end of the day in android's Settings->About phone->Battery use. This menu logs battery usage since last unplugged, so remember to check before you plug in the phone. About 10 to 20 minutes of "CPU total" for 8 hours since unplugged, is a normal amount of usage for Android System, alot above this value is suspicious.
There, some pointers. Took me a while to figure this out.

Thanks everyone for the pointer and your replies first thing tomorrow I will try to see how much it can last me without plugging the phone to a charger see if it was just me not having the right set up. Yeah cpu usage seems a bit tricky to figure out I also notice calendar was running 20MB which is weird because I dont sync my calendar any more.
You can also check out SetCPU (on the market, or the nag-ware version on XDA) - I have mine set to ondemand for normal use, and a profile to clock it down to ~400Mhz when the screen is off. Makes a huge difference in battery life and you can tweak it to your needs.

Ok,i have had this phone for 2 months now and i was quiet satisfied with the battery since i'm not a heavy user...was getting easily 2 days of moderate usage...
Overnight(6-8hours) my phone was draining only between 3-5% , but since 5 days ago its draining over 30%...last night i left it on 87% and this morning when i woke up it was at 54%...its giving me a big headache since i didnt change my average usage in the last 5 days to get this dramatically change in battery....
So,im asking a help...i did 3 things in past 5 days and maybe some of them could be the problem,so here it goes:
1.i installed Dropbox app and downloaded some music(mp3),books(pdf) and a movie through that app(i disabled the auto-upload and on application manager i dont see this app running at all)
2.i started to make a google wallet account to buy some apps,but in midway i cancelled it since i didnt wanted to add my working credit card in case of theft...im going to get another visa card just for google with limited funds
3.maybe those pdf books from my PC could be infected with virus??
I'm desperate to get it back what it used to be so any suggestions would be really appreciated...And last 2 days i have cut down the data usage to zero,dont use 3g or edge nor the wifi at all just to be sure its not from them...
One thing i noticed today is that in the settings>battery the Android OS has spiked to 42% of usage and it used to be 20-22%
Thank you
Root and instal benzrom v3
30% over night sounds like it doesn't go to deepsleep at all..
Try install betterbatterystats and see if you can see whats going on.
Some of the features require root, but most important features should work.
Ok,after uninstalling Dropbox and rebooting, my phone seems to come back to normal...after i woke up this morning(8 hours of sleep),my phone has drained only 4%,so i guess that app was keeping my phone awake...
strange though,that app has over 50milion downloads and i didnt see anyone to mention battery drainage...i also disabled the auto-upload function,force stopped the app (he wasnt showing in the running apps under application manager).so dont understand why he was working on the backround...
anyways seem ok now,battery back to normal...now if i can only find where is the option to make this thread into "Solved"

Is this normal for a note 8? Settings = fhd+ no power saving mode, aod and edge lighting off. I know i m getting way low than i should get , I saw people getting atleast 4 + hours of screen on time everywhere

lowering quality and turning off aod/edge lightning will only save you a few minutes, you may as well have them on enjoy the features.
The SoT is user dependant, everyone uses there phone for different things and in different ways.
Also your phone has been on for over 20 hours, im sure you would get the same SoT as the rest if your phone was not sitting (screen off) running apps in the background for so long.
Having said that spotify is one of the things you have used in that 20 hours and judging by the %4 it used i'd say you were streaming a fair bit, that obviously does not add to your SoT but your still draining the battery. if you use your phone mostly idle while streaming music why does SoT matter?
No one can "help" you here i don't think, it is your usage habbits, this is what you get im afraid and from what i can see its not bad at all
my only tip would be if you dont use your phone turn it off instead of letting stuff like facebook eat away at your battery all day for when you actually do want to use it for Netflix or whatever :good:
Edit: Also your only at %25 still can get a couple hour SoT out of that :silly:

That's normal, that's how you receive instant updates from emails WhatsApp etc Facebook is an idle killer. You can either put the apps to sleep so there not active while idle or turn the phone off all together when you don't need it. Like I said I don't think there's anything wrong with your phone it's normal not for me but it's normal for you.

Samsung has one built in.
Go to Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery
click 'Save Power' that will put your apps to sleep.
Also you can scroll to the bottom of that page and press 'Always Sleeping Apps'
and you can add what apps you want to that list and they will never run in the background while the phone is asleep.
Alternatively you could use an app like Greenify.
You can try "greenify" at playstore, it is free, and a donation pkg that further enhaces its features

Hi
Got my p20 pro a few days ago, love the phone but have a few issues, mainly battery.
After seeing slot of comments saying how people are easily getting 6/7 even 8 or 9 hours sot I'm struggling to get to 5. I have display on auto, removed uneeded apps, have darkened colour selected for menus etc yet I can't get through a day of use (Twitter, email, internet and some YouTube videos) I do have Spotify on in the background slot, but looking at the usage settings the highest battery use for that has been around 241 ma, so not a great deal
Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
A second issue is that when using pinch to zoom in you tube in landscape mode I get a line between the screen and the notch which looks like a weird display gap and is really annoying, anyone else get that?
Lastly...in camera mode I've watched a ton of phone reviews and night mode is a swipe able option along the bottom, next to aperture mode etc...however I don't have this, I have to go into more then night mode, anyone know why that is? ( I'm in the UK if that makes any difference)
Thanks for any help you can give

Same here, Im not impressed with the battery.
Same here. Its not a deal breaker though over night
I lose 2% on idle with aeroplane mode on and then shortly using 2% drops off.
We seem to forget that this is the initial release of the firmware - I am sure huawei will optimise it further to improve battery
My phone nearly always gets charged overnight, the fact that this is now easily getting me through the day with zero scares is good for me, I'm not trying to eek 2 days out of it, if Huawei somehow get that then all well and good, but for now I'm happy knowing it's unlikely to die on me if I leave the house at 100%
I had the same issue, but seem to have stabilised it.
Try the following :
Stick to one resolution rather than smart.
Disabled adaptive eye.
Keep the notch on
Managed all apps manually (setting only my key apps to auto and run in background)
I also deleted the cache on all apps and the system via boot menu because I think migration caused some of the issues.
I'm sure mines got something going on in the back ground, fully charged to 100% left in standby while driving to work, arrive (30 mind later with the phone not used) and it's gone down 3%.
Tried the settings above and have manual control over all the apps, I kill off apps after I use them and it's still draining worse than any phone I've had for the last few years.

I get between 8 and 9 SOT a day, Wifi most of the day, 3 hours netflix on 4g with BT headphones, instagram, whatsapp, web browsing, streaming deezer music on BT headphones, texts, some calls. No snapchat or games though and facebook is not logged in.
Haven't tested standby drain yet but maybe it's standby that's killing your battery?
This is in one day though and is excessive use as I have two Instagram accounts and lots of work emails as well. I also don't have a pc at home so use phone for browsing.
How is your settings within the battery category? Do you manage the apps to etc run manually or what do you have in the settings that gets you so much of SOT?
So after some days of testing and trying out some battery monitor apps, the max SOT that I get is 5 hours and 45 minutes.
GSam reports that Android System and Kernel (Android OS) use more than 30% of the battery combined. Is that normal? I'll attach some screenshots.
What I also find interesting is that the AccuBattery app shows that the estimated capacity of my battery being at 3500mAh out off the 4,000mAh design capacity and battery health is at 88%.

Unfortunately I haven't had any luck either. I've deactivated almost everything that could be using up the battery and I still don't get more than 6-7 hours of SOT... I've had the phone for two months now, battery life didn't really get better as some people mention. I carry a powerbank with me cause when I'm out and taking photos it doesn't even make it through half the day...
Did you guys deactivate the option mobile data while connected with wifi? That drains a lot of battery while connected with wifi and is activated out of the box for no reason. What also drains battery are the two options under location settings to search for wifi networks all the time.
When I was on emui I set all apps to manual and only activated active in background and auto start for apps that really need it and I want to get notifications from, like WhatsApp and telegram.
Under mobile data settings I also deactivated background data for those apps and boom, easily 10+ hrs SOT when on WiFi or 7-8 hrs on mobile data.
I'm running force Doze app as well but that might only help with standby drain.
Oh and get rid of Facebook, messenger and snapchat if you want good battery. They are known for huge drain and there are good or even better alternatives like Friendly e.g.

That does not sound too bad...At least you're getting 6-7 hours of SOT. I'm getting like 4H MAX lately. And that is mostly internal usage! with low brightness.

Thanks for that! I've just disabled "Mobile data always on" and we'll see how much difference does it make. I also might give Friendly a shot.
Also, if I disable background data/app launch for Facebook, that will surely prevent facebook to sync constantly, right? I don't need constant notifications from facebook, only from messenger.
Also I noticed I went to sleep with 100%, after 7 hours I woke up with 92% left. That is with Always ON display. Is this normal standby drain? I'm also thinking about disabling always on display as it does not show notifications correctly anyway.

Also, if I disable background data/app launch for Facebook, that will surely prevent facebook to sync constantly, right? I don't need constant notifications from facebook, only from messenger.
Also I noticed I went to sleep with 100%, after 7 hours I woke up with 92% left. That is with Always ON display. Is this normal standby drain? I'm also thinking about disabling always on display as it does not show notifications correctly anyway.

Yes that should prevent notifications from Facebook.
Hm when I charge it to 100% I usually still have 100% when I wake up 7hrs later. That doesn't mean I have no drain but I think the phone stays at 100% fairly long and seems to drain faster on low battery percentage (similar to iPhone afaik). When I charge to 90% for example I wake up with 87% or so. That's more realistic I think. Wifi on, everything else off, no AOD.

Did you guys deactivate the option mobile data while connected with wifi? That drains a lot of battery while connected with wifi and is activated out of the box for no reason. What also drains battery are the two options under location settings to search for wifi networks all the time.
When I was on emui I set all apps to manual and only activated active in background and auto start for apps that really need it and I want to get notifications from, like WhatsApp and telegram.
Under mobile data settings I also deactivated background data for those apps and boom, easily 10+ hrs SOT when on WiFi or 7-8 hrs on mobile data.
I'm running force Doze app as well but that might only help with standby drain.
Oh and get rid of Facebook, messenger and snapchat if you want good battery. They are known for huge drain and there are good or even better alternatives like Friendly e.g.

Not too many actually. Could probably deactivate some more but seems fine as it is.
My system is German but it must be somewhere in wireless and network - mobile network - advanced.
