everything is off.

turn the phone off and let it fully (100%) charge . go to racovery and wipe battery data . if this didnt work your battery has problems . I suggest you to put the battery in a freezer and cool it to -20C for 2 hours. after thatagain fully charge the battery and use it . Im sure the second solution will work if the first one doesnt.
sorry for english mistakes!

Try wiping battery status in cwm

uninstall juice defender,coz the app itself drains the battery a lot
the app always runs in background!!

try this:
Go to CWM and wipe battery stats.
now charge your phone fully till 100% or charge it for 3 Hours Max.
Then download this from the Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=proffesionals.battery.callibration&feature=nav_other

Caliberate (search how-to) ur battery, if that doesn't work then get BetterBatteryStats fom the play store and find which app is draining ur battery (if any). If all this does not work out then change your battery, if that dont work then I hope ur not using a custom kernel which has bugs.

Calibrate battery won't help u.
By seeing your screenshot, i think the main problem is, your device can't sleep well, install CPUSpy to check this..
Your device is awake, but the screen is off, there's something wrong
Set governor to ondemand (the most battery saving governor i think)

Battery calibration is a myth!
It sounds like a kernel wakelock. Please give a detail report from betterbatterystats so that we can help you more!

Battery burning super fast?

Whilst I have been having the screen on, it shouldn't be burning this fast and it certainly didn't use to. 23 minutes on battery and 20% burned?

Did you install a new rom or new kernel? You can install an app like BetterBatteryStats to check out what might be causing this battery drain.

Stock ROM 4.0.4 and have never rooted or flashed anything on before. It is completely stock and unaltered in every way. All I've done is install apps. It just seems to have been a little bad recently. I have BetterBatteryStats on, but the it isn't wakelocks. As I said, I've got the screen on consistently so the phone will always be awake. It is just that 20% in that amount of time seems really high, even for constant use, and I swear it didn't use to be that bad. I've installed Juice Defender because it tends to be good in how it managers network and WiFi. So far, things seem to be stabilising. But, I still want to know what can cause such sharp drainage...

Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? This is most likely the cause. Brightness is a big issue also. Flash a kernal!

Check that you have Auto-brightness enabled. Also, I found that certain apps can drain battery big time. I agree with checking via a battery stats program. Maybe an APP is running in the background causing the cpu to stay at max speed?

Totally agree. Before I root my Note to delete some unuse apps from stock 4.0.4, the battery drains very fast. The most reason is some apps running in the background.

Did you change your sim recently? Sometimes the culprit is sim card.

Not fixes, but suggestions:
- An app like Green Power will stop data usage when screen off
- As others said, look into your display. My favourite app is Display Brightness as it adds an invisible slider on your screen
- For some reason, Chrome in the last week began to EAT my phone. I uninstalled it and I'm back to a blessed 1% an hour drain

Thanks for your link, really helpful for me:good:

You may have to check your battery. Will it be hot when you are using it? Look at your battery, does it look "fat"? It happened once to me before, after changing a new battery. It's fine now. It was caused by overcharging it during the night.

I experienced it on my previous phone, now im going to prove it again in my note because i changed my sim recently and now i cannot achieved the 5 hrs i had before that my original sim card, best phone can do now is 3.5 hrs. I try to contact my provider if they can restore my previous sim card and see what will happen, its just a suspect.

how can it be over charging. Doesnt it has built in function that cut-off power when charging complete. all modern chargers have that..
really would like to know cause i always charge the phone before going to sleep..

u r right..all modern chargers hv that..so, it will cut off the power when charging is complete..even I do put my Note for charging & go to sleep
So, dont worry..put your charger for charging & u can confidently go to sleep :good:

If you have network location checked and or GPS in /setting/location and security.
that's your suck battery problem.
Network location awake the phone constantly in accord with weather widget and lot apps in background that use this feature.

[Q] Phone is always awake (battery drain overnight)

So I got my One two days ago and installed some apps, running on stock 4.1.2.
According to the system monitor my phone is ALWAYS AWAKE, even when I turn it off and only plug in the charger.
How can I solve it, how can I find what app is keeping my phone awake? I am losing like 50% battery overnight while in airplane mode
Thanks, BBLN.

It's difficoult found the app.
So try with an hard reset or see in dev settigs if there is the voice selected

Nope, it's like my phone is draining while being idle (On battery usage: Phone Idle - 50%).
I closed some running services, seems like now he is finally really idle.

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK

Did you do a full wipe after the update?

Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.

Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.

I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Why are there 3 battery guru icons in your bar? When I used it there was only 1. I got rid of it though after doing a custom ROM. Had no use for it.

Third one appears when low battery for extra savings. Second one I don't have a clue now. I normally have two icons.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.

I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

I have thought the same today to have FB on browser rather than app. It is strange I have tweaked FB app a lot like refresh only 4 hours, no notifications left on but app still awakening mad. Now only FB bothers me other apps behave well and I get pretty good battery consumption.

battery drain

hai im using sami os rom 4 the last 6-7days.my battery is draining fast. fully charged goes to 82%(using 2G,no mobile network,power saving, no wifi and no calls at all).
i noticed that tha battery is chaarging very fast. it climbs directly from 89% to 100% .dont knw y????? pls help....

Flash VSLPA from Argentina with odin cause it is the best over all then drain it till shut down. After it shut down, full charge it while it is off and it should fix it. If it still not fixed try battery calibration app from play store as last option.
Tell me if you manage to fix it

7RA13 sumed up everything but if battery still drains then you should try another rom and/or kernel, then your only alternative would be to purchase another battery

Install terminal emulator from play store.
In there type:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
CoCofe:
* When it says "First eoc reached",then the UI should show you charged 100%
But it is not the real full charged.
* When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
* According to my experiments,it needs 1-2 hours to charge to real full after it shows you 100%
