How?
The phone is not new. Been no this Rom for about a week

I used this quide and all OK...
After the update:
In recovery mode, select options Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and also you need to select the option of “Clear Dalvik Cache” after which you need to reboot your device by selecting reboot system now after which all the cache files will get deleted.

You already tried calibrating the battery? And when you install a new ROM you generally have to wait a few days for the battery reaches its normal duration.

the best battery life i have ever had was on MIUI. It was like two days ... no problem. i heard for some guys it was even up to four days.
you are on a gingerbread bootloader, so its no problem to flash MIUI with a *.zip file in recovery. just search the forum here for a good version.
to do:
-glitch kernel
-download a governor ("conservative" or "ondemand")
-two apps from the market: CPU tuner, CPU spy
-search for tutorials for CPU tuner
=> fixed your problems

if you have flashed yout rom with your battery not fully charged, you have to calibrate your battery
And also doing 3-4 full charge

yes, u need to do full discharge recharge cycles 2-3 times... wipe battery stats after that from recovery mode on full 100% charge.
Hope this helps

I have two phones. Both running same Rom but i only use one phone. The other i charge the battery in
only just had to do that since the update.
So the batterys are always fully discharged and recharge.
I didn't know about calibrating the battery ill look into that now.
Thanks for the advice.

Just calibrated the battery fingers crossed this work. Half a day for a phone to last is poor.
Was thinking this is like the iphone
when you guys have fully charged your phones and you go into better status how many how's does it say it has left.
Is it random?
Mine says 40 hours
edit lol now it says 7 mins 40 seconds but battery is still full

You still didn´t gave the time battery needs to settle down. In a couple of days you will see that battery will again last for 2 days easly.
For a better rom that you ask on the first post find it on i9000 development forum. There you have roms with different specs. Choose and test them for yourself and see wich fits you best.
I should say for you to test the Hybrid.

Turning off most app synchronizing (settings » account & synchronisation settings) is making a big difference as well, at least to me. Just disable automatic synchronisation (keep background synchronisation on), and turn it off for all apps. Saves me quite some hours of battery. I'm assuming the update reset all your synchronisation to ON. I'm never using the word synchronisation again, pfft.

hello koooowweeee
Try BatteryCalibration (market) or.
1. Connect the charger to the phone while it is on, and let the load be up to 100%.
2. Unplug the charger and turn off the phone.
3. Reconnect the charger while the phone is off, and leave the task until it shows 100% again.
4. Unplug the charger, then turn the phone, wait for it to boot completely, then turn it off
5. Reconnect the phone to the charger (always off) and wait until it returns to 100%.
6. Disconnect the charger, turn on the phone with flight-+ power to access the Recovery.
Once in recovery, go to Advanced, and make a Wipe Battery Stats, then reboot the phone.
or flash CM7 7.0.2 Kang!
@ +

Well been using my phone all day and battery has lasted so far. Its on 13% now which is better than it was
ill try the method above tomorrow morning and see if that's better
the guide i seen on here was to charge battery to 100% then take the charger out and battery for 90 seconds then put it back in.
Seems to have worked

[Q] Battery or soft problem

I don't know how to explain this... Hope you'll understand me. So my phone was full charged so i put out the charger and i go to school. After 6 hours i came back and my battery was at 50%. I was surprised but when i tried to call someone my phone died. So when i starded battery was at 3%. Same thing today, i put out my phone from charger after 2 hours i tried to do 2 photos and *bam* died - 3% battery.
There is a screenshot so you can see what i mean. Can you tell me what is the problem? Hope you understand me

wow, that's a HUGE drain. I recommend installing a wakelock detector to see what is causing that huge drain on your phone
This is how you would go about using the app to find the issue.
1) Install the app from google play "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery"
2) Open it
3) Once it opens, reboot your phone
4) Once it reboots, leave it for 5 mins
5) Unlock your phone and open the wakelock detector
6) Check the bar at the top to see if your phone was asleep and how long it was asleep for (should be around 4 mins)
If it is 4 mins or above, then your phone should not be having battery drain, ensure you are swiping away apps after use.
If your phone was awake the whole time, then you will be able to see what is causing this and you should uninstall this app
Also, you should enable the power saving option to maximise battery life.
Make sure you charge the phone while its turned off, apps can interfere with the charging process while the phone is one, this could also be the cause of your drain, so turn off and then charge.

Ok, there is no specific app that is causing that your problem. So do you charge while your mobile is on, or off?
Also, is your phone rooted? If it is, try re-calibrating your battery.

[Q] Battery Calibration error?

Hey guys,
For some reason my phone keeps battery-% on some numbers way too long (compared with the day before). I was on 85%, and put it on the charger. 20 minutes later it was on 98%, but another 20 minutes later it was still on 98%. Some time later I found it at 99% and unplugged but the % immediately went down to 98%. I left it overnight to charge 'til 100%. Now the battery-% takes way too long to go down and way too long to charge again.
Suggestions on how to solve this?

I'm now using an app to recalibrate my phone. Does this sound logical? 4203mV - 100% and 4098mV - 95%?

Eco controller still exist in 4.3. Clean data, stop it and restart phone. I have also wiped battery info in cwm twice and everything works great.

I'm on 4.1.2 (see signature). I did the ECO trick, but I can't wipe battery stats because somehow I can't find it in my CWM recovery

Yea, i know. I wrote 4.3 cause thought UltraWelfare meant it. Unfortunately i have got Philz cwm for a while and there is no such a function as well but i'm sure in cwm touch it exist.

Battery Problem, Bug/Sollution?

So i encoutered a strange situation.
I flashed/updated the phone right after the [NUT] 's version of the last kk update , since then i always thought that my battery life decreased, i had 1 day and a half at max with the same use & apps as on 4.2, on wich i had even 3 days of battery power.
So, yesterday I placed the phone on the charhing dock, removed a couple of time because of phone calls, and after 2~ hours the phone said that the battery was 100% charged.
I removed the phone, made a call and right after i hit end call, battery was showing 63% left, i repeat this was minutes right after the phone was fully charged from the dock.
I thought that was an error, checked battery statistics, and it showed a drop from 100 to 63 in 2 minutes.
As i thought that it was a problem with the dock charger, i connected the phone to a usb charger, orange light was on, and after a few minutes the phone would stop charghing and the light will turn off. I tried this step a few times, and always the phone will not charge more than 63% just as if the kernel would think the battery is already full.
I turned the phone off, connected the phone to a wall charger, and the charging started from half to 100% in 40 minutes more or so.
From yesterday i have 20 hours on battery and 70% still left :| this with 27minutes of voice talk and 1 hour& 37 minutes of screen on (this includes some gps navigation app ~ 20 minutes ON)
I think that my situation clearly states that there might be a battery controlling problem that it might show 100% while the battery is still not charged completly.
The next step i will take is to let the phone completly die, and then charge it on the wall charger (turned off) untill the battery is completly charged and after that i'l power it up.
Did anyone else encountered this issue/situation?

This happens when doing dirty flashes.. Try with doing an full wipe before flashing any major update!

i suppose you're right because i did restore my /data backup from recovery right after flashing.

yes it's locked, but i'm asking this because even on an official ota that would fail/or something else would happen in the process the same thing would result.
I also saw that between reboots the XZDual recovery shows different battery percents, wich is not normal...
Again this is purrely for the talk of it... and maybe someone else that has the problem would see that it is best to let the phone die and then charge it full turned off. (As i did not do ) / WIPE DATA after an update/or flash.
I think this is the single method to reset the battery stats without any knowledge....
Because if this thing didn't happen to me i would let it be and thought that is a bug with the kk firmware ))

Why not backup the TA-partition and unlock BL, and get root access much easier by flashing custom kernel & SuperSU package by Chainfire?
Wiping battery stats have nothing to do with battery reading and current level.. It's a myth thas has been even debunked by Google to be pure placebo effect.

I did have a lot of android phones, and as I stated in another topic this is the first one that i'm afraid to tinkle with (because of bricking topic & so) also I know that if I unlock the BL i loose some features of the phone (mostly in camera), i also did backup TA the first day i rooted.
I'm not new to this stuff, i've built kernels/roms and stuff but I'm new to the phone and I take things slowly...I'm also hesitating because of the warranty, the phone is almost 2 months old...
And i can also state that this is the first android phone that I simply am confortable with the stock software, and i did not encountered huge bugs like before.
The only feature that I miss vs the other phones on the same 'stage' is the double tap to unlock. If a kernel with that feature appears and it is stable i will unlock immediatly.

Do you mean "2 Tap to Wake Up" the phone instead of using Power button? It' s already ported this feature in latest custom kernels but to do that you have to unlock it and get rooted.

My z1 is not rooted still it ' sometimes ' does not charge
The LED is orange and a charging sign is shown still the battery remains at the same percent please need help should i buy a new chaeger or is it 4.4 kk problem..??

Battery drain

Hi, I have p30 pro for about 3 weeks now and the software is updated. However, I have noticed in the last few days that battery drain is happening a lot faster than it used to be. I did not install any new apps nor do I have a live theme or notification app... I think I can only get about 5 hours on screen time now, but earlier could do better.. How long does your battery holds and what is your average on-screen time? Also what is the unlocking frequency of yours in the past 7 days or so?

After update, you should clear cache via recovery so it can optimize apps back properly. For me easily 7hours sot with my Samsung gear connected 24/7 + GPS always on and that's with around 15-20% left. Also in App Launch, I don't set it to automatic. I manage them manually allowing those I want and disabling those that I don't need running in the background.

Can assure you that almost everyone here can get 7 hours of SOT. Do you have any rogue apps ? Reboot your phone into recovery, then choose Wipe Cache.

So now it's 2 am, I have charged the phone to 100% at 9:30pm, It has not be used much although it was on mobile data the whole time. This is the result now: 85% baterry, and it says "time awake" 1:06 mins. Does that mean that phone was unlocked and used for 1 hour and 6 mins after being fully charged? Since I don't think I have used it for so long, since I was in cinema for 3 hours, from 10pm until 1:30am, and only unlocked it for couple of times during the movie. Something strange is def going on. I don't have rogue apps, just normal ones and tbh just a few.
Can you please be so kind to type step by step tutorial where to find all that in settings and what to do, because I don't want to mess something up.. Thank you.

i unplugged the phone at 6:30am today its 9 pm. phone has been playing pandora thru BT since 10 am to 7pm still have 50% battery left. cant see how many hours of SOT. Battery life is amazing for me.

I'm expierencing same thing. Only about 4 or 5hrs sot. Something isn't right. Running 131 aoftware

Yes sure, shut down your phone. Then hold volume up and power key. Once you feel a vibration, then release the power button and keep holding the volume key. You should now be in recovery menu. Find Clear Cache. Then reboot when you're done. You wont lose any data. It will optimize all installed apps. The time awake you're referring to in the hardware section is the screen on time. You should also note that if your network coverage is bad, then consumption will be higher too. Try downloading this app to lock it in either 4g/lte or 3g only if coverage is bad in your area : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
Hope that helps. If you're still facing bad battery life, then i reckon you to do a factory reset as a last resort.

Okay, thank you very much, I will do that before my next full charge. Are you sure no data will be lost?
Ps. Update on the battery status. So it is 9:26am now, screen awake time 3:26, battery 66%, 12 hours since last charge. Only on wifi, no mobile data.

Okay thanks about the data info. But not sure whether it's fine because ppl have 7,8 on screen time and have 15-20% remaining.. I will test it today until the battery fully drains to see what screen on time will I get.. Also, one question considering the wipe cache, will it get downgraded to original emui version that was on the phone before the update or will the. 124 update still be present?

No it won't too. Firmware can't be downgraded.

just do factory reset and start over ...

Update. 16:50 now, 23% baterry, 6 hours on screen time, 19h34min since the last charge... So it was yesterday at 9pm fully charged, not a full day of without charging, not to mention two days that others are experiencing.. Tonight I will do the cache cleanup and measure the results in the next couple of days.. If no result achieved I will do a factory reset, hoping it would fix the issue..

I have done the cache clearance, but no difference at all considering the battery drain. Can you share what is the best way to save all data before doing the factory reset? Upload it on some cloud or some other way? Also, are you guys always in normal mode or do you enable power saving mode?

If you're still facing battery drain then i guess you may have restored your apps when you first setup your phone. For call logs, sms and contacts , you may use huawei's in built cloud back up and for photos , use google photos. Then factory reset and don't restore any apps from google. Start fresh.

Okay, thanks, I will try that and share the results.. From the downloaded apps I only have viber, WhatsApp, messenger, Facebook and AliExpress app. That's all..

Any update?
I am exactly like you. Consistently getting 35 percent screen and 65 percent software
