Hey guys
I had a huge battery drain on v20a. With display off it lost battery very fast. Now i have battety drain like on v10h when display is off (in use its same like v10h)
To get this i deleted some system apks.
1. I deactivatet the whole smart logging system in hidden menu
2 then i deleted some system apks and their odex files.
I deleted :
Google maps( cause it made 40% battery usage....you can download it after deleting from market it wont drain like as system app Oo
Google chrome( same like maps and made lags as system app...downloaded as data ap
Deleted Mlt.apk (no use ans i think it made a piece of draining)
Logservice. Apk or something like this
(I think this was the main problem)
And lg on screen display apk ( made a huge drain ob p990 so maybe here too and i dont need it)
Know i have a realy awesome batery usage and a better less laggy performance )
Before 3g drained my battery when display was off but know i can let it activatet because it dont drains anymore so try it and make feedback ifts for you like for me
Sorry for my very bad englich...im from germany

let me add some ways to make more usable memory
first i use 'autostart' to disable startup applications, then keep check some activities comes very often: SMS,network change and Widgets.
them use system app manager to disable system app and system Widgets. if the button is grey, use 'root uninstall' to kill them.
do not delete them directly if you are not very sure coz some of them may cause fc,
then use 'disable service' to manage your daily application, for example, official Facebook application contains 44 services, you will lose a lot of resources on it.
after all,use 'greenify' to prevent some rubbish apps which cost unnormal memory at certain time and background applications.
now it become 480 free after reboot.

Already removed those apps, and still got a wakelock "baseband_xmm_power" that is keeping the phone to enter deepsleep,
tried searching everywhere for solution to this but can´t find any
Any ideas?

Draining 0.5% per hour the phone would last 8 days without a charge, dunno how that can be considered a fast drain. Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.
I just had the GMaps draining 40% of my battery where I never used it. So I tried uninstalling it and installed it via market and greenified it. Saved a hell lot of battery. But that was in ICS. JB is quite good doesnt drain my battery. Maybe because it formatted my cell so only few apps are installed.
AW: Stop v20a battery drain is solved
i also did remove most of the lg apps + disabled logging and debugging by editing the ramdisk (edited init.x3.rc) and my battery life is quite good.

Is it possible to share ur edited init.x3.rc to us and give a few hints how to do the change? Where to find / to move original / modified init.x3.rc, what tool to copy/move/rename it ...
i used to have haevy problems with maps app, probably locatin reporting, so i disabled it. now, with the hint here, to uninstall and reinstall from google play, i dont have problems with maps app, but my android system is using cca 35-40% of battery. this is my first android phone (if you don't count using xdandroid on htc diamond touch 2 for a while), so i'm not sure if it's normal?
overall i'm satisfied with the battery tbh, but i feel ICS pumped out more.
AW: Stop v20a battery drain is solved
The android system usage of 40 % is normal
The android system is including nearly everything off system also lockscreen launcher and every other system things so its logical
The battery usage is normal this way

i was thinking there should be a comprehensive guide / tutorial by some expert of android system, with all possible steps to achieve most battery life and less ram and system resources usage.
so everyone could benefit from it. what do you say? (I'm not an expert yet btw lol)
guide with these points,
which apps and services can be disabled safely and functions of those apps and the steps to do it.
which optimization apps can be used for them etc.
if anyone make it, i would kiss his hand

thats still a ot with 3g off at home and wifi permanently on i use less the 2% a day.
in standby there is no visible drain at all on v10H not rooted or anything just some disabled apps.
and i know that 2 % can be reduced even more by roting ad i cant disable the updater and some other google stuff.
i think for many people 3g is the problem.
first of people often let 3g + wifi on which is just stupid.
if you have wifi disable 3g if you are outside and dont have wifi disable wifi and leave 3g on.
poor or no signal causes drains and 3g indoors has poor signal and therefore drains the battery.
if you ahve a concrete reinforced house like o do having repeaters in every floor or even room is crucial to saving battery life.
my router is on the second floot and i my phone is there almost all day aswell and i have full wifi signal as im sitting near my router.
if i go downstairs to cook and eat i lose 2% in less then an hour just because of the poor wifi signal.
so we will get a repeater (or second router in acces point configuration for downstairs just to save battery life for our phones and tablets.
another thing that seems to be important is the channel your on.
use wifi analizer to see how many networks there are on your channel and from my tests channel 1-6 are better then channel 7-14 so use it if it isnt over populated.

Hello friends.
Using o2x from 2 weeks.
Tried lot of roms, all kernels etc.
but what i get average 1 day use of phone, 17 to 20 hrs (less 8 hrs of sleep then it comes to 9 to 12 hrs). with normal use.
1 hrs calls, 0.5 hrs data and remaining is here and there sneaking in phone.
i never used gps,wifi,bt etc, all are in off state.
.
now i m currently on cm7 kang by temasek with irnkernel.
still battery giving same draing.
draining 1% just in 3 to 5 mins when i m using phone (not on call or data).
and main point is i m on edge coverage, so no 2g use.
data is always off.
.
i dont know what eating my battery too much..
.
realy, i m getting upset.
i tried every kernel and every rom, did battery calibration etc.
.
Update : I forgot to mention i m using class 2, 16 gb micro cd card.
also i m using acer liquid metal's usb charger for charging.
will this affect on my battery ?
update : guys i want to mention one thing.
today i pissed of with this problem and thought it was battery problem.
so i planned to go customer care.
then turned back v20e which official 2.3 for india.
then i saw dramatic changes in my battery drain.
it was half as before, with stock thing, no apps installed, not rooted etc.
i m still monitoring my battery.
.
also one thing, is go launcher will be cause for this ?
cause when flashed with v20e. the widget show drain as around 130-150 mA.
then i installed go launcer ex, then drain was 250 mA.
.
what is ur normal drain when u r using phone ? (for those who r getting best battery life)
.
.
can anybody share his battery drain graph which taken by battery monitor widget ?
here are some screenshots :

I have a similar problem, but it's likely because of 3G. With V10F Froyo, the phone drained <1% per hour in stand by, with 3G on. With V20L, and CM7 (any version of them), my phones draines 3-5% per hour. Tried anything, any ROM/BB combination, returned phone to warranty, but nothing.

OMG u r god!
how the hell do you have such a battery life?! even I am on temasek's kang!! at avg with your kind of usage it will go for less than a day :/
same with me..
hardly a day..
is there any problem in indian phones ?
See that 'better battery stats' image you put up? See the drop down menu that says 'since unplugged'? Change that to 'partial wakelock' and get a picture of it to show us the result
Also, you seem to have a lot of battery apps on the go.. are they conflicting?

i dont know
I had a problem with huge battery drain and the culprit was my sd card. I dont know why but it had problems scanning it so I think it got stuck in a scanning loop of some sort. When I removed it, all was fine.

i m getting angry on my phone.
see guys, i slept over night with 100% battery, just wake up n saw it wa 99%.
then used phone for just 20 mins.
and now battery on 92%.
now tell me friends, what i need to do ?
Do you have apps like juice defender? Accuweather? Uninstall them. They are probably eating you battery without you seeing.
See your running application?

nope.
in provided ssi was using jucedefender.
later i removed it.
same drain still
Perhaps you need to calibrate your battery (using baterry calibration app) and wipe the battery stats (via cwm)

i did it already.
My recommendation:
1. Flash vadonka's kernel (ironKrnL has good performance, but drains battery fast).
2. Remove widgets which keep accessing the net in background, stop background data over network (in settings)
3. Install AnTuTu battery saver and set battery saver level to level 2.
4. Remove SD card. Try to manage for a day without SD card. Set internal storage as SD card in CM settings.
5. End all background apps after using any app (use dr. battery saver or similar app to kill all apps).
6. Take any other precautions, such as lowering screen brightness, tick "use only 2G networks" option, dont allow automatic email syncing in background etc.
Try this for one day on a full battery and let us know the results. If it does not improve much, you probably have a defective battery. I also own this phone in India and my battery easily lasts 2 days on normal usage.

Thats normal i think. Get nearly the same results.
Try Rugglez suggestion.
Also check if your Baseband matches your RIL.(Download GetRil from Market)
And go into Settings --> Apps --> Running Apps and check if there are many Services running in the background.
Also you can try to install the Autostarts app, which lets you control which apps are allowed to open themselves in the background.
Update : I forgot to mention i m using class 2, 16 gb micro cd card.

Hey all!
I've bought my Optimus 4X HD recently. I'm loving everything! Except the battery...
Today, I've tested it again and here's what the battery is able to do!
- 6 hours of standby, 3G and Sync enabled
- 4 times checked mail for like 4 minutes total
6 Hours later: 30% remaining.
Is it normal for this battery to be so weak? I've "calibrated" (drained to 0% and charged to 100% - left it for a long charge the first time too)
If it's abnormal I'll contact the helpdesk and see if they can replace my battery, just want to be sure if it's normal or not.
Software is latest available, non-root, very few apps -- verified with taskkiller of AVG: nothing is running in background or anything.
Thanks!
I think there are some wake locks denying the system to go into deep sleep.
Search the forum for solutions, it's a well discussed topic on here

I usually get at least fourteen / sixteen hours on a single charge when I unplug it in the morning before work, varies with how long the Wi-Fi turned on, and I get at least three hours of screen time, one or two of voice calls. I also have mobile 3g data always on with alerts for email, Facebook and Google+. Usually I listen to music for about an hour and half too. I'm running the 20a euro rom official, rooted. Try factory resetting and rooting to remove bloatware and LG logging software.
Hope this helps!

Very few apps installed by you... there is a lot of stuff running in background that you don't even imagine.
Search for the threads about "battery drain" and you'll get some more info.
Do you run the new 4.1 Jelly Bean? There is some huge debate going on, how the update affects battery life. Personally, I ran into huge battery problems after updating to 4.1. The drain was especially heavy during the night, when I usually active airplane mode. With ICS I lost about 1% during an 8 hour night, under JB it was 20-30%. I read up on the threads in this forum and followed many suggestions. I started to monitor battery drain with different apps running/frozen, wifi, 3G, airplane mode enabled/disabled and so on. To analyse the battery I found the apps "CPU Spy", "Wakelock Detector", "GSam Battery Monitor", and "Battery Log" helpful.
But to be honest, I am no "android pro". I monitored my battery drain for over a week and did not find a satisfying solution for the problem. Thanks to this forum and many excellent posts I managed to roll back my phone to 4.0.3 ICS. Now my battery drain is the way I remember it and I am happy again
For me, this solved the problem. Although I do not run JB, and some of the enjoyable improvements it had, anymore. I know that for some people rolling back is no option. If you cannot locate the battery killer easily and you are willing to play around with your device (rooting, freezing apps...), you might as well roll back and give that a try.
You should explore your device and your stock apps...
My battery last in JB for so long as in ICS.
If there are differences they're small.

Yes!
Thanks all, very useful replies!
I've tried simply factory resetting it and, for about 3 hours it stayed on 100%, 2 hours on 99% and etc, very awesome!
I then set up my mail and other things and it went bad again. I had this sync symbol in my notification bar -- no clue why it was there all the time.
I googled why it was there and it's because the sync fails so it keeps trying. I removed the picasa for the email account (because uni mail doesn't support picasa and other google services) and my battery is top notch again! For now at least .

Looks like you're on WiFi which has good standby time. 3G standby is not good at all. That's when baseband_xmm_power starts acting up for me.

mine is bad because of the baseband_xmm_power wakelock, had this on stock 20A but didn´t had on 10h... as far as i can search, there is no solution other than revert to old 10h....
I bought a spare battery so i never run out of juice! Reverting firmware is not an option for me.

baseband_xmm_power wakelock, same problem here, battery drain cause this at v20A Jelly bean.
i believe this wakelock is affecting every phone since 20A, just install betterbatterystats and see it plague and suck our battery juice
can any one describe the difference between them ? now im rooted and installed xposed module then installed battery guru then greenify so i need to know is it ok that the 3 features can work together ?? will it be beneficial for me ? why when im on data internet the battery drains so fast !!!!
I would advise you to use stamina and battery guru or greenify.
Only Stamina is quite enough but you could add one app more but to have three or four apps for same thing - that won't well...

I've had stamina and battery guru and greenify the same time for 2 weeks. After this I've removed battery guru and seriously I did not find any difference. This is my exclusive experience.
You must test what combination is the best for you and your way you use the phone...

I have none, I have rooted the phone and debload t removing most of sony apps and a few google apps (left only gmail, play music, calendar and news-stand)
I always leave on 3G, wifi, gps and automatic sync, plus I have Google now and position enabled... and batery is terrific
At night even if all the above is turned on it uses maybe 1% of battery
What discharges the most he phone is, in order: GPS, SCREEN and 3G
Do not believe those saying that automatic sync in background is bad: it almost uses less than 5% of battery in a day
Uninstall all battery saving app: they are useless
Build number: VTR-L29C636B120
During 8-hour flight mode standby, it consumed around 12% battery.

Battery usage
Phone idle consumes 21.73%
Phone idle time
Software consumption level, i don't think it is the cause
I have exactly the same problem and and do not know how to solve it. I read everything and tried everything, even made factory reset...no results
I get semi-normal sleep time with wifi sleep mode set to "never" or wifi off. Everything else fails. I also have abnormal GoogleAccountManager battery drain somewhere between 30 - 45%. Nothing helps, even factory reset without any apps installed.
Mine is VTR-L09
I got the p10 yesterday, but my android system and android os i very high. I go to bed like 00:10 am and woke up 8:10 and my battery was going from 45% to 8% in 8 hours with no use
Is there anything i can do about it?
Maybe an update anysoon will solve this issue ? Or do you think is hardware?

I'm on B120 firmware but I've never encountered such issue. Having said that I did kill a system process called Power Genius. Not sure if that matters.

And why did you kill that process? I just killed... i will see if it matters and then I'll come back. Thanks

I killed it due to the inconsistent brightness issue. Some apps like Chrome and Facebook will automatically dim the screen brightness. Someone said disable that app will help. It didn't actually solve the problem but I left it disabled.

that amount of drain is impossible to be a problem with rom. Some 3rd party app maybe waking your phone up, or your gps is on, or your wifi/3g connection is very disruptive.

It's also doing it after a hard reset

These roms go through testing before being released. So such margin of drain is unlikely. But either way have you updated to latest rom ? Also experiment battery drain while on flight mode or with 4g turned off and so on.
I just uninstalled the Facebook app. And disabled Facebook appmanager. There was also a Facebook installer app i removed. I don't know if it a placebo effect, but it feels like my battery usage has stopped. Also my phone is using less ram.

Many people has mentioned about facebook app drains battery and eats up ram, I always delete/disable the app along with any apps I don't use.
i'm on the same rom and I get little under 2 days of use on regular setting and over 2days with power savings (not ultra power saving).
Just some advice, I never use fast charging on any phone with built-in battery, and fast charging does drain battery quicker and reduce life span, that being said, i'm using my Samsung 2A charger (non fast charging).
hi guys, i had the same problem and i fixed it, going to settings - apps-and at the bottom you'll find an icon as a gear, press it and go to. special acces, then go to battery optimization (or something like these) and un allow all of them, except google services.
Forgot to mention, you need to turn off the WIFI advance.
Hey guys, I'm wondering what can I do to improve my Note 8 battery life. Seems to me that is draining and I do not get the chance to use it too much. Maybe you have an idea how to optimize and track the apps are overusing the battery, so far I was not able to detect which app/component drains my battery. Even Samsung seems that doesn't know since there is no message regarding background processes with heavy usage.
Basically I finished fully charging at 9:15 AM and now 16:15PM time I started to write the post and make the screenshots, it has 16%. What I did all this time with the phone, was:
- a bit of browsing,
- make one NFC payment,
- have the S3 gear connected on bluetooth.
- few twitter messages and viber really small usage. (less than 40 messages overall)
So here are my settings
- WIFI is off and I'm using 3G connection (I stopped LTE thinking that requires more battery.. , correct me if I'm wrong please),
- screen not even on 50% and auto brightness off (using HD+ and a dark theme, everything is so dark!)
- AOD
- no led, no gestures (most of them I turn off for testing purpose)
- Medium battery saver on.
- No phone calls
- few notifications (not more than 20, also the notification is optimized to apps I'm concerned)
Any suggestion how to make it to end of working day .. at least?
I was waiting so long for a new note and now I'm a bit disappointed and I hope that is something I do wrong..
Funny is I just realized that by mistake I put the phone on airplane mode while making the screenshots, still percentage was flying away even like this. I lost 2% making screenshots in a matter of couple of minutes.
Please find the screenshots attached in the link down bellow, were to big to add them to the post.

Thanks!
you might have some apps draining battery. I'm used to a rooted phone, so I'd always check with wakelock detector, but I'm not sure what you can do without installing an app as a system app.
Try factory resetting your phone and using it without installing anything for a day and see what the battery life is like. If it's significantly better, install your apps 1 by 1 until you find out which one is causing unnecessary cpu cycles or wakelocks.

But I wonder, I shouldn't see the heavy usage on the battery info page? Like which app does most of the usage and time spend in the background or CPU?
I had excessive battery drain, about 10-11% an hour with every off . A full factory reset cured the problem.
What's your screen on time usage? 5-6 is probably the normal amount you would get with most phones (This is the most important thing if nothings draining the battery). And yes, it seems you might need a factory reset.

You won't always see this as it could be a byproduct causing a kernel wakelock.
Either way, something is acting incorrectly. The only way to really figure it out is to start over and try things slowly till you find out what it is.
For instance, on my nvidia shield tablet k-1, I was getting horrendous battery life on every single rom, stock or AOSP/Lineage. I found that I was getting 30% wakelock killing ~20% battery life per day when it should be sub 5%. I found that wifi was causing these kernel wakelocks and setting wifi to be disabled with the screen off unless charging fixed the issue entirely.
Now, that anecdote likely has nothing to do with what you're experiencing, but note that you can usually find out what's wrong from trial and error.
I've had my note 8 for 6 days now, and battery life is excellent, i mean i have wi-fi and 4g lte on all the time, bluetooth on all the time, sync with 3 emails, Facebook, weather widget, weather screen refresh every 30mins, location high accuracy, edge lighting, aod schedule 7pm-7am, was 100% at 6am, played games on it lots, used the phone 2x, 1 hour call and a 30 mins call, text messages, it's 130pm and I'm at 55%, try a factory reset then log in to your gmail then just try to update the phone if there is any. Then reboot then start installing your apps. If it doesn't work call carrier customer service and complain about the battery not holding up like some people you know who has note 8. They might replace it with a new one.

Phone died 15-20 minutes after I did the screenshots, so a bit more than 2 hours...
So.. yeah.. I will try a factory reset and start install all the apps bit by bit and see which one causes the troubles.. hopefully is nothing more than that.
Did you restore a backup or did you load your apps fresh from the play store?
I've had horrible luck with issues like battery life restoring from backups. I always install apps fresh.

I did a google restore from backup! Damn! And I was thinking that I should maybe to a clean, one by one app install.
My battery life is also not great but im using full resolution and when i remember time when i got S6 edge on launch....the battery was horrible but after few updates it was perfect so stay strong and wait a bit

can you translate "not great" in hours? :laugh: Because I will say that mine is second after horrible.. with update done.
I will start the reset in a short while and I will test it tomorrow with minimum apps installed.. those which I really must have in a working day..
Maximum 5 hrs on wifi normally about 3-4 battery is not great on note yet....some optimalization would be nice
I use Ampere to monitor the instan drain of current. In a quiet situation (screen on, internet or tapatalk browsing, gear connected, wifi and data turned on) you should have something 200 mA drain.

Maybe some of the settings changes you're making are somehow rendering your phone less efficient.
I have the USA unlocked version and use it as it came without changing to a dark theme or turning anything off and the battery life is much better than yours.

I restored from a helium backup. My battery life wasn't good for about a week but it did last all day down to 20-30% at the end of the day. After a week it has improved maybe due to apps updating. Now I'm at 70-80% at the end of the day with moderate use. I have disabled several apps I didn't need as well.
Seems like it's hit or miss with the battery life. I see a lot of people happy and some are having problems. Hopefully Samsung might push a update to help.
Get cpu spy and verify that your devoce is going into deep sleep when off(mine wasnt at first until i froze/removed some rouge apps). Install accubattery and do a benchmark and see how your battery does. At least do 6 discharge cycles first to see an average. Also, in device maintenance, you can make all apps doze when not being used now.. this is a new feature. Add all of your apps and they get put to sleep immediately. I get 8 hours SOT this way

You dont have to use med battery saver either, just read my reply on this thread and you will be good. You may have to experiment a little to get your device to go into deep sleep when screen off. Mine didnt at first. Its on my other comment

I got back from work and my phone was at 75% that's between 9:30am and 6:30 pm. So my battery life is pretty good. I lose about 5% overnight.
I average 7hrs screen time Got 8hrs yesterday
