Your Android OS is draining your battery waaay too much. Does MIUI still have the Android OS bug? Reboot into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache, and continue monitoring the Android OS. It should be less than 10%.

Hi.
Thanks for the advice.
I did what u said. battery usage android os 31% and sys 29% but when i change for unplugged usage it shows sys 18% OS 9%. The previous is the total usage. Do u think its fine?

Hi, I'm using MIUI Mint Berry Edition 1.10.28 and the battery is very good, perhaps you should give it a try. Another trick is to delete google talk if you don't use it

???
you think google talk drein battery?realy?

I believe the default options in Google Talk is to have it login automatically. I never used it before, but when I first got an i9000 I remember going through apps I didn't use, and noticed that Google Talk—even though I never, ever used it—was signing it and staying signed in the entire time I had my phone. I quickly got rid of it (although you could probably just turn off the automitic login).

hi guys!
THX for the ideas but I got one yesterday from another forum. I just wiped in recovery mode the darwick memory or what and now its perfect. I charged the battery fully yesterday at 17:55. Was playing and using wifi ,still have around 20%.

wipe dalvik , wipe cash , format
then put miui on your sdcard and flash it
after that , clear dalvik cash and wipe cash partition again
calibrate your battery using battery calibration app ,
reboot.
the problem should be solved , but i must tell you , miui is battery HUNGRY and u will NOT get more than 3-4 hours screen time

You could try Juicedefender. That should buy you some time!

I find apps like this normally do the opposite, Just another service eating up CPU power. Also don't judge a ROM's battery from the 1st charge. Calibrate and the battery tends to settle.. Though IMO Cm7 ftw, 2 days usage from it

I sort of agree, but it depends on how much battery the app is saving you. Sure, it takes some CPU usage to be able to work, but if it's saving you 5x as much battery by doing so, then it's obviously beneficial. Lots of people swear by Juice Defender, so it must work as such.

Hello ppls. I've seen a lot of posts about high battery drain. I am wondering about my battery life.
So, i unplugged my SGS at 10am,said 100% when i unplugged it dropped to 96% (i read its normal, the protection against overcharge), left at 10.30 listened to 1h of music,15m of just twiking,writing 1 sms,at 13:30 already 59%
Faze II: 15m on facebook via wifi,wrote 5 sms,played 10 mins- 39%
III 1h music +10m gaming+ 15m twiking, at 8pm 20%.
IV about 5m of audio recording, and probabably about 10m of gaming->10% at 12:30 am next day.
No 3g, wifi only when using internet apps, using juice defender ultimate.
I'm using Darky's rom 10.1 . I bought the phone with this rom, and i can't flash a new one cause i can't connect it to my pc in anyway(same on other pc's too)
To the battery : Is this normal? Thx

Battery life

Hi
I've been lurking these forums looking for this but haven't found anything quite like this. The P880 prides itself on great standby battery life but mine is draining more than my previous Motorola RAZR (not the maxx). It never lasts more than about 14-15 hours and that is when i do almost nothing. One, two calls a few messages with no wifi and data off. I have factory reset the phone a few times and whiped the cache. I've tried not installing any software when done and fully charging but still it drains. I'm on v10f but this was a problem before I updated as well.
My only thought is that the battery is flawed, but I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it in repairs if it isn't (the service here is slow and customer support is weak when it comes to this, here in Iceland)
I took screenshots of the drainage. 90% of that is me not using the phone at all. Is this normal? Should I ask for a new battery? The phone is about 3 weeks old btw.

What version are you on? 10f has seen lot of improvement in battery life. I dont have to use SetCPU anymore to get better battery and let it run on max 1.5ghz and still seeing very good battery life, despite heavy use.

Yeah I'm on 10f as well. I was wondering if maybe flashing the phone and try to reset it totally would help but I don't know if that'd be any different than just factory resetting?

I have seen other imgs of the battery graph and when it's on standby the line hardly tilts downwards. This can't be normal right?

I'm going to charge him to 100% and leave him with nothing on all night and see how he handles it. What would normally happen? How much percent-drop would the battery have on an 7-8hour timespan?

Went to sleep with the phone at 94% and woke up with 69%. Everything was off. Sync, mobile data, wifi, backround data, location, gps, nfc, I even set it to 2g networks only. Now it says that the "phone" took 69% of that? I'm flabbergasted.

Same here man but didn't diseabled auto sync and broadcoast cell yet so I'm curious if I go sleep and wake up how much juice it took from my 4xHD. Something is sucking out the juice out of our phones.
The only thing that update did change with me is the heath it didn't get as hot as before but my battery is still eating a lot even when is standby.

Hey, I don't no if your phone is rooted or not?
Try deleting superuser, it helped my battery life. And also you should charge your phone more than 100% , that helped too for me.

Try to do a factory reset, the update didn't help me until I did a factory reset. Now my 4X HD only looses about 1-2% over night vid auto sync, before factory reset I lost about 30-40%.
Sent from my LG-P880 by Tapatalk 2

I use GO Power Master to auto switch to Alarm mode (only alarm, brightness 30%), and the phone eat less than 1% of battery for 6 hours. (firmware V10f)
I cannot see the attached images (don't know why) but I think you should check how long your phone is Awake, Screen On, Wifi and GPS On... then see which apps are cause the drainage.

Also, give the battery more recharge cycles. The battery life on first 2 cycles was catastrophic - for example it lost 4% just by rebooting, but after few days it stabilized to my ordinary each 2nd day charging cycle when turned off in the night. The biggest battery eater seems to be for me display brightness.

Batterylife with 10F is pretty good. Over night I dont lose any battery (data off) and during the day with autosync on only ~2 percent per hour. This is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I previously used. I did set CPU max speed to 1,1GHz with SetCPU.

Oh my! I think that worked! So the root was causing the drainage? I'd really like to have him rooted though. Is there any other way to avoid this?
I'm testing this out right now though. I will know if this was the problem in a few hours!

I am using tha stock ics but the battery gets empty verry fast.
With 1 hour using Facebook With 3G the battery gets from 100 to 60 and less easily.

Did you wipe the cach and dalvik??? Worth trying this to see if this resolves the issue but backup your files first.
If not then, back everything up and try and full device restore.

Is that a full stock of LG ics? I think not much you can do about that. Other than trying one of the custom ROMs and getting battery efficient kernels.

Also here I report high battery drain.
Stock ICS ROM, rooted at first, then tried a battery usage data reset with no result.
Factory restore, same.
Wiped caches and dalvik cache (with CW recovery), phone bricked.
Un-bricked and reinstalled ICS stock, with CivZ_StormTrooper_rev3 kernel mod. Now with No Frills CPU & Juicedefender free, less than 10 hours without using phone (just data / h3g mode on).
First item in consumption list, "Android OS".
Any ideas?
Thank you

First. you should think about using an custom ROM based on stock. carburano Rom is Good but also Jishnu Sur´s rom is Awesome.
If you afraid to Root you Phone, it´s as easy a 1 2 3 nowadays just use this awesome Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Reason: Many of programms you don´t need are removed my first consumption is WIFI. So even if i have WIFI on all day, my phones is steady till the night.
Second. Reset Battery status in CWM
Third. You using a damn smartphone dont expect s**t that this will hold many days this is no Nokia 3210 BTW if you use it that means u use Battery Facebook BTW is one if the most active Programms i know. There´s "high drain" in Order.

i like the ES-task manager with root permissions it shows you what could be blocked autorunning and what you should let active

Without changing your system you could give "Juice Defender" a try, just look up in Appstore. I have no experience with this app, but it trys to defend your juice
I handled it by using some custom rom (recommending 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1 -> better battery life so far, look up some CM 10 ROM)
in dev forum pengus77 is working on some awesome kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097788) that also raises battery life enormous.
with all that stuff my 2X works very nice since a few days.
BUT: read instructions befor you do anything please!

Best battery saving techniques

I've checked around and haven't really found a great answer.
I've had my Z1 for a week and a half. Always have stamina activated with WiFi by location on with advanced selection. Also running battery guru with WiFi management off (since the stamina has the option to be selective as to only activate if WiFi networks are present in area and battery guru does not). Have seen a little improvement with battery guru.
I'll grab screenshots tonight. First half of the week I was lasting half a day. I've had improvement but really not sure where I should be at since I've seen a lot of 1 day results seen here on XDA. Still amazed how I'll wake up silence my alarms and my phone loses 1% of battery in 5 minutes.my drain is incredible still and have screen settings as battery friendly as possible.
My settings are screen brightness as low as it can be. I have LTE in my area and LTE is usually always what my signal is. My GPS only activates when an app needs it and my auto refresh is set to being very selective usually once every 4 hours for calendar weather etc. I keep an eye on my WiFi just in case the auto turns it on and Im at work and can't connect to the secured county network etc. I'm doing my best just wanna see if I can squeeze every bit of the phone I can.
I'm not rooted running stock c6903 with current firmware and 4.3. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I know this is a common topic but really just wanted to ask and see what input I can get. So far though very pleased with the phone. I'm coming from a droid maxx on T-Mobile so I know I'll never get as good as that phone had but this camera is far worth the trade off.
Thanks everyone!!

Do not use the folowing:
Battery savers
Ram Cleaners
avoid the folowing:
apps that prevents sleep (find this in the battery info in your settings)
to extend battery life and avoid wear:
do not use when batter is 60 or above
try not to disturb charging (unplugging before it hits 90)
avoid heat, can cause battery to die quicker
some other things:
greenify is an app known to actualy work
try crystalizing apps, (from android tuner)
debloat your system (not recomended unless you know what your doing)
install a custom kernel (not recomended either)
hmm there is some ive missed but most of this i do , get 3/4 days with my xperia s and 6/7 with my Z1
if i remember anything ill add to this

im not too sure about battery guru
if it keeps your Z1 from sleeping dont use it
the majourity of ram cleaners and battery savers usualy dont work.
Ram Cleaners for some reason just make your device feel boggy and generaly ugh
battery savers usualy keep your device from sleeping or make your android feel sluggish

I don't believe battery guru keeps the phone from sleeping since its an app directly from Qualcomm designed for devices specifically with snapdragon processors due to the strong processor battery correlation. But as far as today goes this is where I'm at for bed time.
I had moderate use today considering I was in class from 830-430. I'm in the field tomorrow so I will post after my shift tomorrow. Here is today.

I'm using a mix of BatteryGuru, Lux Lite(for adaptive brightness), and Greenify.
IMO Greenify actually works by not exactly 'freezing' the app but letting it not run in the background.
As for Lux, it's handy mostly because it can adjust accordingly to where you are as the default adaptive brightness is clunky

just because its proprietary doesn't mean it has to work
without any battery saving techniques i come over 2days with: wifi always on, gps always on (for myxperia), mid screen brightness, auto sync, push mail from sony stock email on average usage.
with those energy saving techniques sony put in our device, i'll be far better. sending data in interval comes in really handy. personally i really don't like stamina mode (whatsapp + pushmail and gmail won't notify me as long as the screen is turned off) but will safe a huge amount of battery.
location based wifi annoys me too much.
ive bought this device just because of the large battery and wasn't disappointed. even heavy users should easily come over one day without charging
what's your biggest energy drain? 1% in 5 minutes is way to much. something seems to be fishy

Haha that's true. Wouldn't be the first time proprietary apps have steered me wrong. It says screen is my big energy eater which I'm perplexed by since I have brightness as low as possible. Do you have LTE in your area? Those are amazing numbers for not using stamina. Maybe I should start messing around with turning stamina off and switching things up.

What is battery calibration? And btw i did the same exact thing you did dirty flash from kk to 5.0.1 to 270. And battery is fine just clear cache and dalvik then reboot and monitor the phone during 3 days to a week the battery needs to learn your usage. Also is recommend to debloat search the forum or find an attached debloating script I forgot which thread i downloaded it from.
As debloating is recommended then I'm sure that uninstalling programs you don't need also helps with battery life.
I'm getting a full day usage on mediocre usage whatsapp camera pirate kings boom beach calls all of those on WiFi with good signal. If it were on 4g or 3g battery will die half a day usage.

Might try the dalvik and cache first as I am not wanting to delete the file and then wait till my battery dies just to charge it to full and then go on using it as normal, as it is too time consuming.

Right so I have gone with just wiping dalvik and cache as battery calibration is for older phones with android 2.2 I think Phones today do not require that, although a way to do it I have read is to charge your phone, drain it, charge it up again and drain it once more to force It to calibrate, however I am not willing to do this yet either as it is time consuming.
EDIT - Wiping the Dalvik Cache and the Cache did nothing for me, without even touching my phone, battery jumped from 89 to 69 in a matter of mins.

Ah I did those steps after flashing hehe. Thanks

Give a day or two of usage it will improve if not then do the drastic fix which is to do a full wipe and fresh ftf

Well I think if it happens again I am going to create a new pre-root firmware and leave out xposed and 4k camera mod and see how it runs without them as I added them in the first firmware.
Edit - Letting the battery die yesterday and charging it must have helped. Charged the phone last night and left it through the night and down to about 71% and the battery info days I have 1 day and about 4 hours to go.

Ok so I spoke to soon, battery was on 33% and died, so I am going to re-download the 270 firmware using expierfirm and create the firmware without xposed and 4k support and see how that works, if it goes fine, then I know if will be either a bad download or one of those things.

So I have managed to get through one drain without it switching off early but I am finding that battery is recording the wrong levels of charge, I was on about 40% charge when I restarted my phone and am now on 77%. Its there anyway to sort this?

You need to calibrate your battery, fully discharge and fully charge and it will return to normal I guess

Wrong, since updating to lp, my drain issues started, its well documented that lp does this. A battery replacement fixed the problem.

You blame LP draining your battery?
Since you replaced your battery it seems it wasn't really good anymore.
I am on LP too and I haven't got any single battery problem.

Funny as its been documented that lollipop caused the problem, and that a battery replacement fixes the problem. Also I didn't have drain issues under Kk.
