[Q] Battery life

Hey
I've had my Mini for two months now and I've calibrated the battery at least 15 times and somehow I still get battery jumps (sometimes as high as 25% jumps)
Does anybody else have a problem with battery calibration??
Also, is it safe to leave the phone charging overnight or is there no charger protection in this phone??
Thanx

Hmm.i dont know about the charging protection but I think it had one

Thanx for your response, I'm noticing now that my battery's reporting wrong, I've tried 4 different battery tools and all of them report 4mV when they should report 4250mV (or something like that)
Is anybody else seeing this behavior??

Could you clarify this for me???.....'Cause I don't know what you're talking about

In my opinion too much calibration is not needed with liking battery

My problem is not due to excessive battery calibration, it's due to battery reporting errors, I keep seeing percentage jumps and the voltage is also wrongly displayed

Upgrade ROM maybe can solved that problem :lol:
And after installing new ROM calibrate again once!

I've had the same problem with 4 different ROMs (FroYo stock, GB stock, Andro-ID and CM7).
I'm starting to think that it's a physical battery problem

Battery drops!

Well, this is weird, I bought recently a i9000b guys, my old Galaxy Ace rusts in peace now... well, flashed it (took some long hours) and now i'm using CyanogenMod 10, but here's the probelm
It has been charging the entire night, then this morning I took it and went to take a breakfast, I've been chatting and stuff but it got laggy, so I decided to restart it (apparently with 72% of battery aprox), when i checked it again after the restart I saw 4% of battery. What? Is that possible? I must say that I haven't calibrated the battery, I tried to check if charging it with the phone off and had a very low battery level. What could it be? Battery Calibration? Rom? Kernel?
ROM: [ROM][LINARO][JDQ39E][22/05] **C-RoM Mix v22 *&* C-RoM v3** [ Stable & Fast... ] [
Kernel: Semaphore 2.9.0 (for i9000b)
Thanks
PS: I turned on again the phone and there was a 80%~ of battery

Do one thing might solve:
Switch off your phone
Rwmove battery
Press power button for 15-30 sec
Insert battery back and reboot
Let me know if it solves your issue

Done, let's see if doesn't happen again. Anyway, should I wipe the battery stats? I haven't yet...
I will be doing tests because it happened to me yesterday, I got a random shutdown and the battery was empty, so I'll be looking for that.
Any another solution is welcome, thanks anyway :good:

Happened again after 3h 25min of usage, battery fell from 46% to 0%
Can't it be the kernel?
(CM10.1)

Battery drain problems are usually kernel related, yeah. When I tried CM10.1 I noticed a hell of a lot of battery drain as well (then again, 3 year old 1500mAh battery, 3 year old SGS, can't expect miracles).
Try using any of the 4.2 kernels in the forums (Semaphore, Mackay, Devil, CyanCore). I've tried most of them (usually Semaphore) and they're all pretty good for getting that extra bit out.
Aonther option would be to switch rom. Some devs have made roms with pretty good battery life considering the extra ram consumption on JB.

Thanks, i'm on it, will change my rom to Mackay rom and kernel, sadly this kernels aren't usually updated, because I have a i9000b and there are not much kernels for this model. I'm going to install a Mackay kernel compiled for i9000b

You could try better battery stats or wakelock detector to see if there are any wakelocks but I dont see any. I mean it doesnt look like there is a drain of problem.
Also you are still running 4.1.2. I have better battery stats in 4.3

Battery draining fast

Hey everybody!
I've been using pac 4.4.4 for a while now and I've noticed (how couldn't I) that my battery is draining super fast. For example: I have 70%, I'll go out for a hour and leave my phone home. When I come back, the battery percistance is about 55%. It drains even faster when I'm using my phone active. Any solutions? I'm running PAC 4.4.4 with it's own kernel and L_Speed Mod 1.2 from xda ( can't remember devs name and too lazy to add a link, you might know it).
Thanks in advance.

same, i have bad battery drain(not as bad as yours though) on AOSP based roms. Right now i switched to dmodv6 which is touchwiz based rom and im having way bettery battery life. You could try out dmodv6 and see if you have bettery battery life.

I have tried dmod too but I dont like jb since I can't get emojis

Same i like stock android but since I want more battery life I have to ditch it. Oh and is there any type of wakelocks draining your battery?

No, not really.

I just tried this app called battery doctor and I must say that it is a life saver. You can get it for free on google play. It's awesome

did it help ur battery drain?

some roms have 1 GHz bug that drain a lot of battery. Download CPU spy plus app from playsotre and check if it always stay at 1000 MHz (1 GHZ) or not. if it happens, reboot your phone with wifi off

So.. I installed this cpu spy app, it does show that my cpy has been most of the time at 1000mhz, but not all the time. Screenshot below. I'll try rebooting with wifi off now
Edit: it had no effect

ok so no 1 GHz bug. how old is your battery?
If your battery is 1 year old, the battery will have problems...

It's the phones original battery. Got this device on july 2014

omni 4.4.4 / fred kernel
gov: zmove / zen
app: inteli 3g / greenify pro / pixel battery saver
really good battery. About 1.5 days usage.
1% during screen off in the night.

ok. how long is your battery life?

Maybe try a different rom, like cm 11 or carbon. They might give you different results. If you really dont want to switch you could try out this mod call L Speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138 I use it and it kinda improved my battery life and performance.

wow nice, almost 6 hours screen on time. How do you do that? greenify?

What's keeping my phone awake? (Screenshots)

I finally took the plunge and rooted. I've never had to in the past, but right now I'm trying to figure out what the hell is sucking up my battery.
Here's what I have so far: http://imgur.com/a/ki8bY
Having this scenario, what would you say chews away at my battery?
I think Spotify is at the top of the list because I was actually using it, so I don't think it is an issue. However, when I look at screen on time vs awake time, I see numerous occasions where the phone is awake without me using it.

That graph just shows us surface of the iceberg, use better battery stats

Or GSAM and/or Wakelock detector.
You would be getting a good estimate of what's eating your battery.

I just saw the pics, i have the same issue sometimes, idle drain is terrible and have no clue whats causing it.. possibly some of the google apps installed as system app

Mine is pretty good, stock 4.0.3+ElementalX kernel with default settings

i also have this issue its just android taking lots of battery and not letting the device sleep

I had the same issue, greenify and naptime solved it and i know drain 0.2% an hour overnight on 4. , Android's built in doze is still not good enough imo.

greenify root mode agressive doze eabled, naptime aggressive doze enabled. Not sure really of the benefit of having both as they seem to do the same thing but i saw better results using both, naptime doesn't mess with whatsapp but greenfiy would do so that leads me to believe they work differently.

yes, give it a try

I don't have the knowledge to do it. I could barely root this thing following step by step instructions, but I don't want to wonder off too far into the weeds as I don't know my way back if something happens

Follow the instructions for Elemental X kernel tweaking and you should be getting between 6 to 10 hours of SOT time.

Thanks for the video.
However, I sort of agree with the first comment. You have a beast of a phone and you're underclocking it to achieve better battery life? Sounds strange :S
@Lancez What settings are you running on yours? Plain default as it comes out of the box?

I didn't bother with greenify anymore, I just enabled aggressive doze in the oneplus battery settings itself and it works similarly.

what are your governor settings set for, default interactive?
I get average like 7 hours of SOT with like 24-26 hours off charge....
maybe like <1% drain overnight
And I dont need to put my phone to charge over night anymore \o/ lol

Nothing special, ElementalX kernel with default settings, didn't tweak or change anything in aroma installer. disabled touch boost from CPU tab in EXM app from play store, try it it's worth the little money.
