[Q] Is my battery broken?

Hey I have just bought HTC One 2 days ago. Compared to my old Sensation XE battery life completly sucks. I usually use phone without battery saver, on auto brightness and with Wi-Fi/3g turned on only on demand. Today 8 hours after unplugging phone from the charger I only have 26%. Screen was turned on for 2 hours and 45 minutes only and Wi-Fi worked for 3 hours and 46 mins. I might also say that I did not charge my One before usage to 100% as HTC advised. Was that very crucial? Do you think that phone might be broken or I should just give him time to settle baterry better.

That's sounds like what I get. I turn off mobile data when using WiFi and vice versa. I always use power saver unless I'm 3D gaming. Which is only on the weekends.
I've had mine for 3 months now.
I've seen people get 7:00 screen time on stock unrooted.
I think my battery's broken too. I can barely reach 3 hours of screen time. With 2 hours I get like 11 maybe 12 hours of on time. Something's wrong with our phones...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone see a problem with my battery I have been on wifi the whole time with brightness at 20%.I never had this bad of a drain before and all I did was look at facebook for maybe 5 minutes.I also closed the app after I was done using it.

Your battery stats seem on par with me and the OP. Seems that only a select few phones get decent battery life.

My kernel (android os) has been in the 25-35% range,it has never been that high before.

battery life lousy
I get pretty horrible drain too. I charged it to nearly full around 7:30 last night. I took about 2 minutes of video, sent one text, and checked my email 3 times. After that I went to sleep and the phone sat idle. At 6:30 this morning, I'm down to 9%.

Wow, that's real bad.. When my phone is off during night maybe 7% is gone. Then again I'm rooted and use greenify aswell as battery doctor if that has any affect.
On screen time seems like my battery drains pretty fast too though. After 2 hours of music and surfing and watching videos I guess atleast 40% would be gone.

My battery life became horrible, too. My phones loses 4% per unused hour. No App seems to be responsible for that drain. Flightmode or powersaving mode ain't making a difference. I hope we'll find a solution for our drain.

@Racingmatt your power management services is on for quite a bit. do you have alarms.? i would bet that you either that maps location enabled or something of the sort. cause you also have NLPcollector on for around 40 minutes which is a bit much. also i would turn off GPS if your not actively using it.
@Rachorid how are you setting up your wifi? is it set to always be on? or set to turn off when screen off? you have alot of wifi wake. might be due to that. i know when i'm at home my wifi actively pings all devices connected which will force wake up my phone. yea its a bit annoying but i live with it. otherwise i just keep my phone plugged in.
if you both can get some SS of alarms i can give you a better idea. and when you SS the alarms make sure to click on the ones with the most wake lock so i can see the secondary screen that shows what the actual wakelock command is happening.

Here are the latest stats. As you can see many Google wakes.. removing Maps/Now/GMail/turning of Location (a few days ago) had no impact on my drain. The 2nd app on Partial Wakelocks was used actively.
I also disabled Wifi for about 2 hours.. no impact, too. Flightmode also had no impact (a few days ago).

The reason I didnt give you a alarm ss is because I didn't have any alarms when I went to the alarms section. I also had all locations services including GPS enabled but I just now disabled GPS but left network location enabled I'll give you a screenshot later so you can see the differences

I know exactly how you feel that's what happened to me,u was expecting so much from the battery and it turned out to be the worst..give ya some advice...3g drains the **** out of the battery ,so always jeep it off and turn it on only when you wanna use it...that way the battery will be acceptable... Also flashing a custom Rom would help...o recommend arhd

I had awesome battery life a month ago with Wifi always on, auto. brightness and every app on hourly sync. (I have my phone since 7th of march) Sometimes I didn't lost a percent over night (8 hours) and I just don't know what it could be because I didn't install another app and no app seems to be responsible for that stanby drain. My on-screen battery life is still good. It also doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I'm using.

Here is my latest stats after 12 hours with 5 minutes of GPS use (turned off when not using)and network location on all the time with 3g/4g on all the time(turns off after a period of inactivity) . I can't give you a alarm stat because I'm not rooted.

Lithium-Ion batteries used in today's smartphones need atleast 10 cycles to show optimum power
so hold on until 2 weeks then you will get the full performance
i get 2 days of battery on my HTC One (since i dont have internet on my Simcard)
its 2G connection and auto Brightness and switched bloatwares off
i use Android Revolution HD 12.2

with normal use 3.6%/h is pretty reasonable. how much screen on time was that including?

[Q] WTF is up with my battery life (Sprint m7)?

Hey guys:
Here's my latest problem. Have been using BadSeed's 4.4.3 ROM for my Sprint HTC One m7 for more than a month with no problems with battery life (in fact, my battery life was really great after switching over to the ROM with the custom kernel. However, I am now seeing terrible battery performance. With very little usage, the phone is dying within 8 hours. Here are some images for you to check out. Hoping I can get some advice on whether I have an actual battery issue or this is a software problem. I'm afraid it is an actual battery problem, but I also have noticed some pretty big drain on my battery in BatteryStatsPlus. I ran a battery test using HTC Function test a few days ago and it passed with flying colors while in airplane mode Dropped only 10 percent with the screen on for an hour, well above the 70 percent cut off. I just looked at my battery stats and notice the HTC Function Test is eating a lot of battery. The thing is, I haven't ran any function tests for at least 3 days. Why is that still showing up?
@clsA: Any idea?
Anywho. Two images are attached for your viewing pleasure!

OK. It looks like my phone isn't ever going into deep sleep mode.

No. Now the top two are showing up as Fused Location (59%) and Google Account Manager (33.3). Ive noticed lately the phone barely charges while screen is on. Under Wake Usage, it shows Google Account Manager as being responsible for 6hrs and 18 mins of wake usage.
In Wakelock Detector, Avast is showing x2804 as top CPU Wakelock item.

Uninstalled Avast and wakelock has stopped and entering deep sleep again. Will see if this resolves the issue.

yeah I'm not to keen on AV software

My understanding of AV software on Android is that it is only needed if you utilize custom roms. I installed AVG and it doesn't appear to be causing any issues.

Screen Brightness kills battery more than you'd think

So the poor battery life on my Note 4 might have more to do with screen brightness than I would have expected. Unfortunately, most people posting their SOT's aren't doing it in a very scientific way, so it's hard to know what we should expect from these devices.
Here are my battery test results using PCMark for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.pcmark.android.benchmark
In one test, I put the screen brightness to 100% and the results were pretty dismal. In the second test, I ran it at 50% brightness, which is brighter than the Note 2 at full and the results were much better.
I use Auto brightness during the day, which might explain my poor battery life, but I'd love to know what others score on PCMark are (it does run for 5+ hours!). I do keep my background BLACK, as well as using black themes on everything I can - for apps that only have white backgrounds, I use AutomateIt to invert the colors automatically. I would have thought these black backgrounds would do more, but it really comes down to brightness it seems.
I'm using an Exynos N910U model and left wifi connected while doing this test - 3 google accounts are synced on my device.

thanks for tests im using my exynos version on auto brightness and generally get 6 hours SOT. i saw on alot of people s stats and people who has problems generally has google play services on their battery usage list and it definetly shouldnt be at there... its probably about location reports to google every1 should disable it from location settings it doesnt break anything.

Yes, location can be an issue, but I think that impacts standby time more than SOT. Currently I've done the following to help with location-related issues:
- used lion tamer (soon to be called amplify) to slow down NLP wakelocks.
- set my location settings to powersave mode
- setup AutomateIt to turn on GPS when I'm in Google Maps (I'm usually plugged into the car outlet, so battery isn't a concern while navigating.
- Greenify stuff like Google search, Maps and several others.
I like and use Location Reporting, so disabling it outright isn't an option. My standby usage is very good at usually less than 1% an hour and my wakelocks keep my device awake usually less than 6%, but I'm still working to lower that number.

last night with 10 hours sleep time. with wifi connected sync was activated for 3 mails. i just lost 2% and i didnt do anything special like you did. no greenify no root nothing i couldnt even install wakelock detector cuz its broken on kitkat without root.
. i just disabled some useless stuff like samsung store etc.. everything else is working. and on my car i generally listen music over bluetooth

Lux could help

Before I started tweaking, I was getting around 6%-9% drain PER HOUR! Disabling stuff without root only got me so far, then the xposed tweaks and Titanium Backup had to be used.

like i said i dont know whats wrong for some people its probably something you installed(skype maybe) or mostly about location reporting. even last night i left my phone at 90% when i get it this morning after like 10 hours it was on 88% like i said earlier wifi was connected no power saving etc just normal idle time nothing special.

I was testing without any apps installed (just whatever I used to record battery consumption) and it was crazy high. Then I started adding accounts and apps, tweaking and I got my standby time to be much lower, but SOT leaves much to be desired. I'm going to try using the manual brightness and see if there are any differences - I often find auto brightness to be too bright or too dim! No "sweet spot" found! LOL

Greeny can also help but may need root

I'd suggest changing the settings for your Battery Monitor Widget app. AFAICS it polls every 10 minutes so a wakelock occurs every ten minutes to save the data. Use something like an hour and see what happens. Also would highly recommend BetterBatteryStats, a free version is available here for members.

I'll try that, although that might only improve wakelocks, not screen on time.
BBS never worked right for me. Always complaining that it couldn't retrieve the stats or falling back on something else.

Wait, with the screen off? Then you have something horribly wrong with your device. Mine did a few % over a night. With nothing done to the phone to conserve battery at all. Snapdragon, though. With the update.

I loose only 2% for 7h of standby last night.

We are seeing a trend I think, I noticed that it's mainly us 910U users or exnyos users complaining about battery life. So it must be something in the 910U rom?

I've got a 910F and I get 6 hours screen on time maximum :/

Doesn't happen now that I've rooted and applied my standard tweaks, but I tried a factory reset to see if I could correct the high standby drain and was not successful without these tweaks.

I have 910f and i got same issues with my batt.
i've tried clean system, root, custom rom. Battery is always draining higher than some people.
As i said in other thread: some people have an issue, some have great battery life. And nobody knows why

Maybe it's the guys who keep it stock and don't root, custom rom and "tweak" that get the good battery life.

Delete it pls.

wlan_wow_wl Wakelock issues

wlan_wow_ml is causing the majority of my drain. I'm not too familiar with this one. msm_serial_hs_rx is also very high. I've tried everything I can to get better battery life. I average about 20hours with 4-4.5hours screen on time.
Any ideas?

I get a lot of this wake lock as well, no idea what it is

The first one is the connection to a wireless network. No idea on the second. Download gsam battery monitor. Let it run for 24 hrs after a full charge. Gsam has a built in app called app sucker. Open that and at the top there is a drop down menu to view kernel wake locks. Then you can select each one and after that opens there's a button that says Google me. That'll tell you what each one is.

I posted this on the Motorola Support forums as well as a question on the msm_hsic_host wakelock and one person said this
"I think that the "wlan_wow_wl wakelock" is a software lock included in the Android OS and installed so that your phone does not wake every time it sees your (or other) wireless network access points. I believe the msm_hsic_host wakelock is related to the data radio for the same purpose. Both designed to keep battery drain to a minimum when the phone is idle.."
so guess these wakelocks are good to have.

So these are wakelocks to avoid wakelocks? Lol

These wakelocks are too high to ignore...
It seems to be related to qualcomm drivers and afaik they already fixed it, but we need to wait for Motorola to implement the fix in a future update.

I have the same problem. This caused my battery to drop 10% idling for 6 hours with no apps installed. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Here we go again...

8 hours awake (because of msm_hsic_host and wlan_wow_wl)... This can't be right.

Is there any solution with battery drain"wlan_wow_wl wakelock"?

Do you have this app installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.loadinghome.smartunlock
Or anything similar that uses some kind of rule based on wireless SSID ?
Or even an wireless files sharing app that stays on ?
That wlan_wow_wl is cased of periodic scans of the wireless status IMO, like searching for networks around you or looking if you are still connected to certain network!
You could try disabling "always WiFi scan". In Android 5 is found under advance settings from WiFi menu(from the 3dots menu), in Android 6 is found under geolocalisation (GPS) in the search menu(from the 3dots menu)

Exynos Note 9 screen off battery drain (not entering deep sleep)

Hello!
I've owned a N960F for about 2 months now and recently I'm dealing with extremely high screen off battery drain. Looking at the stats offered by the battery tab in device care I am unable to pinpoint the cause.
Furthermore, accubattery shows very low deep sleep time. Last night it managed to achieve an incredible amount of deep sleep of 0 minutes and drain 12% in just 5h 20 minutes of screen off time.
Screen on time is not a problem, while using the phone the battery usage is normal and I am pleased by it's performance, but it is greatly affected by the screen of consumption.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing the device to not enter deep sleep mode? Or how to find out what the problem could be that makes it use up so much juice?
Thanks in advance!
Screenshots (the accubattery is from yesterday, while the device care one I screenshot just now):

Difficult to tell, possibility is an app in the background preventing deep sleep.
When you use device care and then select battery, followed by settings you get a further screen of options, you may be aware of this.
I have used these settings, it might help.
An alternative approach is to uninstall an app to see if the phone then goes into deep sleep

i found a wierd bug recently. If you're google account has a sync error, like gmail, contacts, messages, ECT.. it will not enter deep sleep.
go to settings>accounts&backup>accounts> Google account>sync account>
Do you see anything with a circle formed by two arrows? those items can't snyc in the background for some reason. usually because the phone has put the app to sleep, optimized it, or restricted background data access. turns out my contacts arent syncing right now, glad i checked.
use this to try and help troubleshoot if you need help.

for me, the problem was that my Contacts app was set to non-optimized ect ect... but the googlecontactsbackup app was set to optimized. I didn't even know that apps could have dependencies that show up as other apps. (i installed google contacts to replace samsung's people app).
i went from 1%-1.5% drain per hour, too .5% drain. significant change for me since im already heavily debloated.. thanks for making me look that deep lol. this is why people prefer iphones i suppose.

Are you debloat with adb and console?
Which apps disabled?
I think that Note 9 exynos have problem with consumming battery in sleep mode.
My N9 always "drain" 3-4 % in night after little debloat but A5 without debloat and with more apps consumming only 1-0% per night.
