[Q] How can I tell what's eating my battery? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??

In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.

I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.

Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

download batterystats from the market and see what is keeping your phone awake in partial wakelock column...this will give you exact process name of the culprit

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

I charged battery fully, made a reboot and left device for a night. Wifi was on. I lost 10% per 9 hrs.
Phone haven't slept at all
Is that all bcoz of gtalk?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Dude your phone is just fine...10% down in 9 hrs with wifi on is too good...everything looks normal..gtalk seems to be waking up the phone to update the online offline lists.in general syncing...thats all..if it was 10% down in 1 hr then it wouldve been a problem...the data looks just fine..and trust me your phone is entering sleep mode..or else it wouldve showed different result..to confirm that install cpuspy..it will say what all frequency are being used and how much phone is sleeping and all...
so just chill..

BTW I logged out from gtalk yesterday evening so I can't understand why it's trying to connect

Galaxy note over heating (System UI hogging CPU)

Hi,
I've a G-Note running ICS-4.0.3 , i recently noticed my phone is getting really hot and resetting automatically at times, on closer investigation i see 'CPU spy' data showing my phone running constantly at 1400Mhz mode!!! wanting to find which process is doing this, i downloaded watchdog lite and noticed that 'System UI' process is running at 49% approx CONSTANTLY, killing it re-spwans the process!! any idea whats causing this?? Please Help!!
Not rooted, never flashed, on original upgrade, have nova launcher, use it rarely. no other launchers installed.
Restart fixes this sometimes, sometimes not.
Thanks in advance,
Ramgo.

Now its not system UI, its android syste, badass battery monitor shows kenel to have taken most of the battery (which seems mostly loop task, is this bad) and then android core process.

well try to remember from which app on this issue showed up.I had battery drain problem turned out it was because of an app that I had installed.So I unistalled it and my problem went away.Yours should be easy to spot try unistalling the recent apps or the ones you're suspicious of and see when you get deepsleep.
Check your battery status and see for the battery eater apps

I infact got deep sleep the whole day, 15 hrs just 10 percent drained! this problem has been occuring intermittently, deep sleep is still happenning, but when the phone is screen ON, its in the highest mode.
Hmm things got complicated.Like I said if everything used to be normal then all of a sudden this problem began then it should be an app I suppose?!Just like my case.
Install OS Monitor and see what's hogging your cpu maybe you can pinpoint the application if that's the case.
did anybody have a problem with Gsam battery monitor after it was upgraded from Badass battery monitor??? i was looking at it and was showing 100% battery drain due to application ( 0% for screen and phone radio)!! i have uninstalled it and seems fine i guess! atleast for now! charging now and its in the expected 200Mhz state.

Yes will do that!! Thanks! read my comment below, i think GSam Battery monitor submits some task or makes some query to the kernel which makes it to go in a loop, hence the android system seems to be using more CPU and not battery monitor itself
The problem is back!! HELP!!
I checked OS monitor, nothing seem to be hogging, occasionally android system, overhearting near the camera and resetting automatically, please HELP!!!

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. When my Note is in standby sometimes it overheats without any apparent reason and battery drains very fast.
I haven't been able to trace the origin of this problem. I'm running on ICS 4.0.3 stock and no ROOT.

Have you installed any kind of launcher on your phone? If you have, do try to uninstall it for now. Install BetterBatteryStats, turn off any data connection.. 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth.. Remove any Live wallpapers(just use a static one), Uninstall any apps that connect or syncs online.
The last thing I could advice you is turn off Airplane Mode (at night), charge up your phone to 100% and just leave it for a day. Check back on BetterBatteryStats after on what apps/wakelocks is triggering the overheating.

Lot's of work... I'll have to find some time to try all of that.
Thanks.
Early last week my Note started to reboot whitout any apparent reason. It happened 2 to 3 times a day. Specially in the morning when battery was still above 60%.
The overheating also happened from time to time but not everyday.
Saturday I figured I had to do something extreme to end this.
First I downgraded to a pre-rooted GB rom. Afterwards wiped the GB rom. Then upgraded to stock ICS. Everything worked out fine and was very easy to perform, thanks to all the guides available on XDA.
Last of all I rooted the ICS.
Until now the Note hasn't overheated or rebooted again.
I really thought it would be harder to do all this. But now I think it would take me about 20 min to do all these procedures.
Thanks to all the people that posted the guides on XDA.

I'll take that as a joke.
Three days in and still no unwanted reboots or overheating.
Gents if you have nothing constructive to provide in assisting the users with real help, please refrain from off topic mindless humor. Thank you.
A week after I've re-flashed ICS on my Note, the unwanted reboots have come back.
It must be some app I've installed again or maybe something much worse. I've read lots of threads and was wondering if a custom kernel and a different ROM might solve this problem.
One thing I've noted, the reboots never happen at night only during the day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon).
Any new ideas to help me find the source of this problem?
EDIT:
I'm running on LPY Kernel, so wipe is not an option...

ICS deep sleep problem finally and totally solved

Dear all,
I faced all the problems you mentioned in the other posts about this problem. I used all the impractical solutions also mentioned to remove battery and to go to plane mode and to download cpuspy and other applications.
What really solved the porblem for me came to me just by accidentent. an ad for app came to me. it is called NQ security, it is actually a security suite more than an app. My battery was almost consumed after four hours of full charge, now it is running for full two days without power save or disabling anything 3g, wifi or bluetooth or even display was left to auto.
This app NQ security scanned my mobile and found two applications as threat, I don't know why they were threat. I downloaded them from google play not hacked. NQ asked me to uninstall them and of course I did and voila everything was solved as I explained earlier.
Why did this happen, it is my only guess and might be wrong. Some applications acts crazy due to not a full compatibility with ICS that made some services keep running and prevent deep sleep. This mad activity was detected as abnormal or a threat by NQ.
Please if any has a better explanation please post here.
Thanks to all of you
Interesting. I wonder how wakelock app were perceived as a threat. Maybe it was a coincidence...
Personally I use CPU spy to see if he phone gets decent sleep time and if not I use system panel and battery stat apps to identify misbehaving app.

I used CPUspy for a while, but warmth of the phone is quite a good indicator that it has no deep sleep. Please try the NQ security to see it yourself.

I've found a different solution. I'm using speedmod kernel and do a simple reboot just after unplugging in the morning and my phone makes it to the end of day with 30% battery. Without speedmod and the reboot it use to be dead 2 or 3 hours before I was ready to plug it in. Works for me anyway.
I will give NQ a try and report back.
This sleep problem is driving me nuts.
Just lost 33% battert in a couple of hours after full charging. checked CPU spy and it was sitting on 200MHz.

hi, from what i know ur situation is that u always stay in at least 200 mhz of cpu using after unplugged, right?
i have the same problem too in the early days, but problem will gone as u notice some glitch below:
if u usualy charge the phone in switch off states, it's ok, but if u r charging the phone in switch on states, take note that when u unplugged the phone while it was still screen lock states, the phone system will think that u didn't plug off the charging, although ur screen didn't show, and the cpu will kill on active in 200 mhz states, so, all u need to do is to reboot ur device, to reset the detection of the charging, and remember next time don't unplug the charging while its under screen lock states.
also, if there is too many noticefication on the top bar, it might too active the phone too 200mhz, clearing it would solve the problem.
now i can keep my phone over night (10pm-8am) with just 25%, and just 1% for the night, sometimes even less

Unbelivable battery drain!

I have my LG 4X for about 3 months!Everything was great until today.I charged it this afternoon and now,after 7h10min it`s on 50%! WTF? I didn`t use him at al! Maybe 5 min of internet..In 20.00h i went for practice and left it at 74%, killed Wifi and when I got back at 21.55h it was at 54% and it`s still dramatically dropping! Is the battery dead? Help!
P.S. From 7h23min of battery it was 7h13min on stand by..46%..

Sometimes after charging the phone I notice high drain after 3 hours it is as low as 50%. I checked with cpuspy that the phone wasn't going to deep sleep at all, it remained at 475MHz when the screen was off.
This has happened to me twice.
Only solution I found was reboot.
Hope it helps

How do I do reboot?
Press power button down and select the reboot option.
I thought there was a reboot app...
I did that and now it seams stable..It "stuck" on 27% for about an hour with WiFi on..Wow,it gave me a little scare..I hope this will solve the problem for good!:laugh:
If you installed Chrome at some point, you might want to find the option to turn gps-positioning off as well. Not sure if it's been fixed in a later release, but on the previous version the api prevented the processor from idling, and never turned the gps-antenna off again after use.
It's most likely an app is causing that drain, try installing BetterBatteryStats...

how can we know which app is forcing the phone to does not enter deep sleep mode? i installed cpu spy and note that deep sleep mode is not being used by my phone since yesterday, but ysterday i rooted and installed all my root required apps, but i don't know which is avoiding deep sleep mode.
I just turn on the phone after full charge, and in 10 minutes battery had drained was about 7% and the phone is warm, obviously something is running on background or something, i closed all apps that I know and used Greenify to stop background apps and now i close all google+ apps, i will measure again

Lolz, you need to give somemore information
1. Did you root your phone? which firmware are you using? if you are rooted did you do factory reset?
2. did you do anything related to flashing JB, unlocking bootloader, etc or anything that happened recently to LG 4X.
3. what app did you download or updated 1-2 days before this?

i have the same battery drain, phone going do deep sleep correct, but when im using it, it going to hot (37'C) and huge battery drain...stock V20a

[Q] V20A Battery.

I'm kind of worried of my battery life..
Last night was my first dissapointment, I left my phone untouched for the whole night (8-9 hours) and something just sucked away about 30% of my battery. Not sure if it just didn't go in Deep Sleep or bloatware leeches that much energy off it.
Within 4 hours of which not even 1 hour of Data usage + WhatsApp/Facebook another 30% just went away.
My battery was not this bad on ICS, specially if I left it during the night, I'd see max 5% drained.
Is this normal for now? Untill I go trought a bit of full rechanrging cycles? (From >5% till 100%)
Or it would be better if sometime I root it and remove some of the bloatware and convert system apps to user ones? (Like Maps,)
I also also less battery life. Is I have the double of the consumption in comparison With ICS . It dont have 1 day of battery life (18h), and I don't play. It's unsustainable...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I noticed that last night (after upgrading) I lost about 10% battery over seven hours, usually I'd only lose 4 or 5%. A little worrying. Google Now is turned off etc, just data, 3G and sync was enabled (just like I used to have with ICS).
I've just backed up my phone and might try a factory reset and restore to see if that fixes it.
I have noticed that if I open CPU Spy and reset the timers, then lock my phone and wait a minute, it is spending a fair bit of time with the CPU at 475mhz. I used to get deep sleep for 90+ % of the time, with 4.1 it seems to deep sleep about 60% of the time.
I'm gonna see if I can figure out what's waking it.
Did either of you do a factory reset after updating?
EDIT: Did a factory reset, installed BBS and CPU Spy, and a quick test found it in deep sleep 87% of the time. Currently restoring using the LG backup app, we'll see if that sorts it or whether there's something else going on here. Will report back with my findings.
EDIT: Ok, LG's restore tool just finished restoring the backup. It worked fine, aside from warning me about possible problems from a 'cross version restore', even though I made the restore with the same firmware version. As a side note, that LG restore tool is SLOOOW! I have a few big games but it would have been faster to set everything up manually, haha. Probably 2-3 hours it took to restore, though it was hassle-free.
Phone seems to be sleeping much better now... a few tests with CPU spy show about 92% of the time spent in deep sleep, which is about what I'd get on ICS. It's early days but if you guys want to give it a shot, it's shown some promise.
I just checked my phone battery stats and saw this:
Where you see the huge battery drain that's where I was downloading and then testing NFS (had better results than on ICS btw)
Battery was on 40% so I closed everything, even WiFi and went to sleep (7-8 hours)
If you see the stats it did went into Deep Sleep in the beginning but something woke it up and kept draining the battery.

I wish they could build a CM10 ROM with OptimusUI... I really like the visuals.
I cant say I am pleased with battery life on JB. I only had it for one day but it drains faster than ICS. Through the night,in about 10 hours,no wifi,no sync,no 3g,fast rebooted it drained 15%!On ICS,in that period of time, it would drain 3-4% max...On CPU Spy, "deep sleep" is only 33% so something is draining the batt..Anyone else with this probl?
Another update... I started having my phone only deep sleep for about 60% of the time again... and I think I have figured out why. Go to Google Maps, go into settings and check that "Report from this device" is unticked! Mine had somehow been enabled and I am fairly sure it was responsible for my deep sleep issue.

I was experiencing the same high drain overnight until I stumbled upon a thread on here which suggested deleting the maps apk and odex file from the system/app folder using a root explorer. you can then reinstall it from the market. I also did the same with chrome.
before I checked with BBS and maps location services were waking the system up constantly, but after doing the above things are much much better.
you can also try disabling MLT in the hidden menu 3845#*880# as there's a thread in general suggesting this logging app could be eating into battery life/ performance.
Is it normal that the battery drain overnight is over 10% in 7-8h ?
My battery life is very poor..Over the night it drained 30%!!! And I killed all the apps, wifi, 3G everything... Through CPU Spy I can see that my phone doesnt go in deep sleep(only 13%) and it is working on 51MHz for 76% of time!! And I`m not even touching it,the screen is off...Whats up with that?How can I fix it?
P.S. I disabled Google Maps because I heard that they consume a lot of battery in the background..
Find your wakelock, find out whats causing it, then fix it ;p

Either use BetterBatteryStats (which is available free for XDA members, search the forum), or Wakelock Detector. To use either of them, plug in your phone and let it charge up. Open BBS, it will create a reference state. Then unplug your phone and let it sit overnight. In the morning open either application and it will show all the wakelocks (times at which the processor was prevented from deep sleeping). Look at what's keeping the phone awake, and remove/disable it.

[Q] battery drain - can't identifiy despite bbs

hey guys,
i have a problem with my i8190 since i've bought it... the os is draining battery and i'm loosing about 20% battery over night...
i've tried several things:
installed newer official versions from samsung
deactivated nearly every app
calibrated battery
tried benzrom
tried juicedefender
but still no success.
can you identify something in my bbs??
thx in advance
I have the same problem, i had a full charge at night, then i woke up and the phone had 50 % battery, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi were off and it drained half my battery, also installed CPU spy, and i notice that my phone is not going into deepsleep, i only have 5 hours of deepsleep and dont know when that was, i have the latest firmware, anyone else having this issue?
It's normal for this phone. Put the phone in airplane mode at night helps me with battery drain, just 2% juice gone.

install adaway
should decrease the battery drain and free up some memory in the process
Well for mine it was an app called Jango, for some reason this app after quitting it wouldn't let the phone go to deep sleep, removed the app and now its going to deep sleep.
Use JuiceDefender or or try to change your brightness level.
Please reply to my better-battery-stats...
I has nothing todo with screen brightness
thanks for the tip with adaway... i'm already using it... but no success
@kicker63: this can't be, when i see people having the s3 mini with up to 4 days usage

Your battery might be defective i guess, if deep sleep is that long and you're losing battery, i guess u have to blame the battery
I don't believe people get upto 4 days usage, if they do they hardly use the phone. Most people on here say about 1 days usage is common. Screen brightness on full will drain your battery more quickly.

didn't solve my problem...
i'm going to replace the battery...
since it's nearly all the time in deep sleep it really looks like the battery is defective
i think this thread can be closed
It's a long shot, but I also experienced a lot of problems using Viber.. JuiceDefender etc wouldn't solve it, betterbatterystats wouldn't detect it, ...
Just noticed after a while that my sudden battery drains were triggered as soon as I received a message on Viber.
I also heard about facebook apps draining the battery.
Maybe you should first try to reset it to factory settings before asking a new battery?
Good luck with your phone, I know it can be frustrating..

If you're rooted, use greenify to stop facebook from running in the background during sleep
resetting the phone wouldnt help since he is getting almost 99% deep sleep reported in BBS

Viber was the culprit in my case. Eating battery like a hungry monster :silly:
