Hello
I have a 3 year old i9000 and with the standard battery I was getting 6 hours max with MINIMAL use and Edge internet.
Not using 3G or WiFi
Then I bought a new ERD battery and did not see any change, still getting 6-7 hour max life
Experiencing this on all roms
I can see most of your battery is used by screen.
Can you click on screen and se how long phone was kept on...and I think this is pretty normal...even if you want to save a bit of battery then you couls lower the brightness
Can you post your battery results? I want to compare
Solved!!
Hi Again, finally i found the problem. There was a proces draining the 40% of the batery. It was the exchange service. I killed it, delete my exchange account and restart the phone.
Now i have a normal battery drain ,a bout one day with a normal use, including wifi, 3g....
Thanks

There are 2 kernel wakelocks that are consuming batter
1- svnet
2- powermangementservice
I'm getting 10-15% loss per hour on a brand new battery with 2G internet and 50% brightness
This is happening on all JB roms

Hey I have just bought HTC One 2 days ago. Compared to my old Sensation XE battery life completly sucks. I usually use phone without battery saver, on auto brightness and with Wi-Fi/3g turned on only on demand. Today 8 hours after unplugging phone from the charger I only have 26%. Screen was turned on for 2 hours and 45 minutes only and Wi-Fi worked for 3 hours and 46 mins. I might also say that I did not charge my One before usage to 100% as HTC advised. Was that very crucial? Do you think that phone might be broken or I should just give him time to settle baterry better.
That's sounds like what I get. I turn off mobile data when using WiFi and vice versa. I always use power saver unless I'm 3D gaming. Which is only on the weekends.
I've had mine for 3 months now.
I've seen people get 7:00 screen time on stock unrooted.
I think my battery's broken too. I can barely reach 3 hours of screen time. With 2 hours I get like 11 maybe 12 hours of on time. Something's wrong with our phones...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone see a problem with my battery I have been on wifi the whole time with brightness at 20%.I never had this bad of a drain before and all I did was look at facebook for maybe 5 minutes.I also closed the app after I was done using it.

Your battery stats seem on par with me and the OP. Seems that only a select few phones get decent battery life.
My kernel (android os) has been in the 25-35% range,it has never been that high before.
battery life lousy
I get pretty horrible drain too. I charged it to nearly full around 7:30 last night. I took about 2 minutes of video, sent one text, and checked my email 3 times. After that I went to sleep and the phone sat idle. At 6:30 this morning, I'm down to 9%.

Wow, that's real bad.. When my phone is off during night maybe 7% is gone. Then again I'm rooted and use greenify aswell as battery doctor if that has any affect.
On screen time seems like my battery drains pretty fast too though. After 2 hours of music and surfing and watching videos I guess atleast 40% would be gone.
My battery life became horrible, too. My phones loses 4% per unused hour. No App seems to be responsible for that drain. Flightmode or powersaving mode ain't making a difference. I hope we'll find a solution for our drain.

@Racingmatt your power management services is on for quite a bit. do you have alarms.? i would bet that you either that maps location enabled or something of the sort. cause you also have NLPcollector on for around 40 minutes which is a bit much. also i would turn off GPS if your not actively using it.
@Rachorid how are you setting up your wifi? is it set to always be on? or set to turn off when screen off? you have alot of wifi wake. might be due to that. i know when i'm at home my wifi actively pings all devices connected which will force wake up my phone. yea its a bit annoying but i live with it. otherwise i just keep my phone plugged in.
if you both can get some SS of alarms i can give you a better idea. and when you SS the alarms make sure to click on the ones with the most wake lock so i can see the secondary screen that shows what the actual wakelock command is happening.

Here are the latest stats. As you can see many Google wakes.. removing Maps/Now/GMail/turning of Location (a few days ago) had no impact on my drain. The 2nd app on Partial Wakelocks was used actively.
I also disabled Wifi for about 2 hours.. no impact, too. Flightmode also had no impact (a few days ago).

The reason I didnt give you a alarm ss is because I didn't have any alarms when I went to the alarms section. I also had all locations services including GPS enabled but I just now disabled GPS but left network location enabled I'll give you a screenshot later so you can see the differences
I know exactly how you feel that's what happened to me,u was expecting so much from the battery and it turned out to be the worst..give ya some advice...3g drains the **** out of the battery ,so always jeep it off and turn it on only when you wanna use it...that way the battery will be acceptable... Also flashing a custom Rom would help...o recommend arhd

I had awesome battery life a month ago with Wifi always on, auto. brightness and every app on hourly sync. (I have my phone since 7th of march) Sometimes I didn't lost a percent over night (8 hours) and I just don't know what it could be because I didn't install another app and no app seems to be responsible for that stanby drain. My on-screen battery life is still good. It also doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I'm using.
Here is my latest stats after 12 hours with 5 minutes of GPS use (turned off when not using)and network location on all the time with 3g/4g on all the time(turns off after a period of inactivity) . I can't give you a alarm stat because I'm not rooted.
Lithium-Ion batteries used in today's smartphones need atleast 10 cycles to show optimum power
so hold on until 2 weeks then you will get the full performance
i get 2 days of battery on my HTC One (since i dont have internet on my Simcard)
its 2G connection and auto Brightness and switched bloatwares off
i use Android Revolution HD 12.2

with normal use 3.6%/h is pretty reasonable. how much screen on time was that including?
Hey guys,
from about two months I am a proud owner of a 4x. I really like the phone but I am having serious battery issues. It did not take long for me to get CM 10.1.2 Stable. The main reason was the bad battery life of stock 4.1.2. However, the problems continued in CM as well. I have baseband wakelocks, wlan_rx_wake wakelocks and whenever I leave network location on I get nlp wakelocks as well. I tried Werewolf, iodak and Optimus Prime kernels. Not one of them seemed to resolve the problems. I had a lot of faith in werewolf 8b, but unfortunately it rarely goes beyond the LG logo and when it does I do not get network signal. Can any of you guys recommend what to do to get a decent battery life out of my phone. I do not expect miracles from a 4.7" quad-core phone but I'd like to be able to go through a whole day without having to charge it. I rarely get more than 2 hours of screen on time.
Thanks in advance!

Try slim bean (4.3) port for our phone... Used to last average 4 hours of screen time with max 700 mhz cpu and interactive governor, which was more than enough for texting and some light games, and also use greenify to freeze those pain in the ass apps always awakening the phone... Download bbs or somthing and post the results, if you want, so you let us know !
I use BBS to track usage. This night I did an experiment. I charged the phone before I went to sleep and left it with wi-fi on. After exactly 10 hours the battery was at 42%...The strange thing is that it was in deep sleep over 8 hours and there is nothing strange in BBS. I will do this one more time just to check that it was not a one-time thing and post the dump file. With the wi-fi off (and data off), the phone can idle for hours without loosing a single % of battery.

i have encountered similar error - my device does go to sleep, but if i leave wifi on, the drain is pretty sick, around 5% per hour (and yeah, the phone was sleeping like 90% of the time)

Same here, 89% deep sleep and exactly 6% per hour. That is enormous, this means that during the day (12h) you lose 72% of battery without even touching the phone...After all with a smartphone it is expected to keep wi-fi on during the day. Have you found a solution to that problem?

none as of yet. switching kernels may or may not help, roms too. nowadays i only use wifi when needed and have data on for push notifications.

In the year I've owned Xperia TL (LT30at), I've never been able to get a full day of use (12-14 hours) on one charge except for one week when I had to turn off the data connection (ran out of data allowance). I keep Stamina on at all times but BBS reports at least 3%/hr drain overnight. When the screen is on, the drain increases to 40-50%/hr and that's mostly on auto-brightness, which is minimal indoors.
At the same time, I see posts claiming that their V's are getting good 20 hours of total battery life, which includes 3-4 hours of screen time and minimal drain during inactivity. I understand that the V has a slightly smaller screen and 3G radio, but I can't fathom how that could account for such a difference in performance.
Can someone explain what differences I'm missing?
First things first. Have you compared your XTL's battery life with other XTL users? Or just maybe there are rogue apps sucking every bit of your phone's juice. Check with BBS or Gsam Battery Stats. And again, different people use their phones differently

Interesting. With my TL (lt30a Bell unit though - not AT&T unit), I would get a full day out of the battery, whether I was on stock PL 141 (JB), or the stock AT&T rom (which I think was also JB). Only thing I did on either rom was root/CWM/remove bloat apps manually.

BBS always says the biggest resource hog is bam_dmux_wakelock, which I think is related to wi-fi based location because it disappears when I turn off location. Overall, No. 1 and 2 battery suckers are Android System and Screen.

What is full day of your use? I end up with about 7 hours of standby and 1 hour of screen on before the phone gets to critical battery.

Try to repair the phone using pcc, or if pcc won't work for you (unlocked bootloader, modified software eg.) reflash the rom, your batterylife is not normal

That 3-4% drain in standby has always been there regardless of the ROM. I recently tried a stock-based 4.3 ROM that was draining 10% in standby - that was clearly fixed by another one.

But your phone needs way too much battery when the screen is on, you could eiter try to uninstall all unneeded apps, deactivate gps, nfc etc when you don't need it, or reflash the rom..

You said that standby drain isn't the problem. I don't know how much nfc needs, I don't think it is that much. Stamina only disables data and background apps, but not gps, as far as I know

My standby drain with Stamina is about 3.5-4%/hour. Is that normal? Compared to the screenshots of XV I've seen around here, it doesn't seem right. On top of that, Stamina app keeps on telling that the phone should last for about 15 hours or 24 hours on standby.

As said before, that also depends on what apps you have installed, and how you've configured Stamina mode, but your bigger problem is your screen on time, 1 hour is nothing. So you should try to reflash the rom. But before you do that you could ckeck the battery, you can find out about your battery health at the service menu

LTE: On (of course, but mostly auto switches to the wifi)
NFC/GPS/WIFI: On
Bluetooth: On twice a day (when I use NFC smart tag in the car)
Brightness: Always Auto
Google account (sync always on)
Exchange account (for work emails, always on push)
WhatsApp and BBM accounts
I don't have any old screenshots of my batt. usage, but this was a usual day for my TL:
Unplug from charger at 8:30 a.m.
Glance at work email
Go to car, NFC tag to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth
30 mins later, NFC tag to turn ON wifi/turn off Bluetooth
Moderate use throughout the day: occasional whatsapp, bbm, texts. Work email if I'm not at desk, imgur 5 mins, instagram 5 mins, xda premium app for 5 mins (a couple of times a day).
Go to car, NFC tag to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth
30 mins later, NFC tag to turn ON wifi/turn off Bluetooth
At home, battery is likely at 55%. Nothing but occasional whatsapp/bbm/texts usually for the evening. By 11:30 p.m. it's pretty well dead at 15%.

Yes. Precisely. I don't understand how nearly identically hardware (the biggest 2 differences being LTE radio & slightly larger screen in XTL) result in half the running time off the same battery.

But dude, the problem is not on XTL in general. I think your phone has some hardware problem. Was the battery life with the previous firmwares (4.0 and 4.1.2) as bad as the recent build?

It has been like that all the time. I realized something was wrong when people started posting significant battery life improvements in 4.3 ROMs and mine stayed the same.
Is the V battery life sufficient for you guys? I've always thought it's a little bit of a stretch if I used it even moderately - I use my V as a hotspot for my Galaxy Note 8 most of the day, and it can barely survive until the afternoon.
That's one of the reason I have been debating getting a Galaxy Note 3 for the extended battery life.
Gentleman, currently im having a big issue with my S3 Mini.
Some weeks ago, the battery started draining in a really short lapse of time. We are talking of aprox. 12 hourse of low usage (one phonecall, no sms, little whatsapp mesagging, some web sufring). By checking Betterbatterystats, i can confirm that almost 11 hours, the phone screen is off (or maybe 10 hours and a half).
I dont know what to do, i turned on airplane mode, and the problem persits. Changed rom 3 times (4.1.2 to 4.4, to 4.1.2 again), wiped data, cache, system, internal memory, etc..
Betterbatterystats screenshots are ATTACHED TO THE POST!!, to see if you cand find a wakelock, alarm, or something that can be interfering the battery life. (btw, i ruled out that theory since i changed rom and wiped everything so many times, but maybe there is something attached indefinetlely to the phone, really dont know).
The battery itself is the only reason in my mind right now, but the phone is only 9 months old (as well as the battery of course).
One thing that calls my attention, is that the charging time takes 2 hours max, maybe 1 hour and a half. Can the battery be damaged with so little lifetime?
Appreciate your help!!!

i can most certainly say that it's the battery, but don't run out buying a new one, yet. Wait 'till someone else confirms it
i had the same problem half a year ago (mine was also 8-9 months old back then). The phone started rebooting and many weird stuff happened I changed the battery and everything was ok. Now it's acting up again and i might change battery again.

Turn off wifi and reboot that helps sometimes . On the first Screenshot was your wifi always on. On the last Screenshot was your Android OS on the first place. That was the 1GHz bug.
facebook updates
Don't have facebook app (only messenger), and without messenger app, the battery keeps draining.
I red on the internet that the 1ghz bug tends to appear on Cyanogenmod. Only had cyanogenmod 11 for some days, turned back again to the stock rom.
Could this bug affect my phone right now? How can i fix it?
If not, im really thinking of buying a new battery, but the risk of another problem affecting the battery usage from the phone keeps turning me back!
Thanks!!

if you didn't do a full wipe before moving back to stock maybe it could cause an issue

The battery don't seems to be neither round or thicker, and it don't spins freely.
Have you tried 'telling' the battery how much capacity it has again? (Drain until it automatically shuts down due to flat battery, charge back to 100% while off, switch on, drain again, charge again and use as normal)
Many manufacturers recommend charging when you reach 15-20% during normal use.
Also, have a look at govenors/schedulers if you have a custom ROM installed. Maybe changing combo works better for you, or even changing combo and switching back.

It won't harm your device. Would you mind sharing from where you're getting a 2000mah battery and if it's the same size as the 1500mah one from Samsung?
I'm currently on a 1700mah battery for the Galaxy Ace II

Im from Kenya but the battery is available on Ebay. I saw 2450 mah batteries that come with a case so I guess they are bigger. Battery is a huge issue for me. I only get 4hrs maximum on 3g on my current battery and is so fruatrating.How long does the Ace 2 battery last?
