Hi... Until a couple of weeks back, the battery on the phone was amazing, it used to last a little more than 24 hrs (with data always on, wifi on every now and then, 2hrs video apart from regular songs and whatsapp) but from a couple of weeks the battery was draining very fast, it would last only 14 hours or so..
Yesterday, i made a factory reset. Installed the apps one by one and was monitoring the battery drain...The culprits were Facebook and SWYPE beta...
Without swype beta on my phone, i have 90% battery left after 3 hrs 43 mins of full recharge...
Have others been experiencing the same problem? Is there any work around?
I miss SWYPE

Is it me or when I charge my G1, it only takes only an hour to get full battery. And it dies in like 2 or 3 hours later? Btw, I'm using an extended battery.
probably need a new battery, is this something new when you flashed froyobylaszlo?
Try calibrating your battery

FBL trashing battery
I`m having the same experience.
I started with stock ROM and than used CM4, CM5, briefly CM6 and ended up with FBL 5.2
With all CM mods, charging my (stock) battery was always a pain - it took up to 5-6 hours to charge it from 5% to 100%.
After installing FBL and clearing battery stats it took under 2 hours to charge my G1 to full. I was amazed and really happy with overall FBL performance... until few months ago...
I noticed that battery endurance started to drop rapidly, and my G1 went from 3 days without charging few months ago (I'm not a heavy user + I use min brightness and 2g all the time) to 12 hours 1 month ago.
In its last days it was unable some times to sustain power when talking or watching videoclips and phone would then shut off (as if battery was pulled out, not software shutdown). Also charging time started to grow slowly again to 3-4 hours.
I bought new battery (extended capacity, 1600mAh) under a month ago and cleared stats and all. It charges to full under an hour and I`m afraid that FBL will trash it the same way it did with the previous one in half a year.
BTW. FBL creator - Laszlo - stopped developing for G1 after his battery mysteriously died.
Could it be that FBL Kernel somehow mistreats G1s battery?
No every few months you need to recalibrate your battery
Kill it...charge it fully (plus extra)...wipe battery stats....kill it

Exactly what happened to me. So, I switched to Ezgingerbread, my battery lasted longer than it did on FbL.
That's because when you install a new rom it deletes battery stats calibrating the battery
Heh I really like this rom

I bought SGSA 2 months before and updated it to JB with Kies (Unrooted). I had around 30-40 apps installed along with 2x battery saver. The battery used to remain for 2 days on phone calls, texts, minimal wifi and games usage. When I fully charge my phone at night , lock it and wake up in the morning, it would have dropped to 99% or 98% I was quite happy with the performance.
But over a period of time, it started lagging a lot and touch became unresponsive. So I factory reset my phone 2 days back. and installed 25 apps again. But now the battery drains like dam. I charge my smartphone to 100% at around 11 pm and when I wake up around 6 am. The battery percent would be about 54%-52%. I dunno what to do ? Even tried the same 2x battery saver but it didn't work.. Please help !!

Depends what apps you instaled. If you have good amount of ones that use autosync, it can cause battery drain. Also turn off internet overnight.
Not sure whats going on but the battery on my Note 3 is horrible since the update. I fully charge it and 1 hr later (not even using it) I've lost 5-10%. It barely last the whole day now. I've even wiped the device and it continues to happen. Doing a quick test right now, fully charged its been off the battery for 20 mins and I'm showing 27% usage on the Android System, 10% on the Android OS and 15% of the screen and its down to 97% already.
Any ideas?

things to try: (no this isnt a 'disable anything useful like email and google plus' post )
1. camera - there is some well documented issue, if you open the camera app, there is some kind of battery drain going on. google it, there is tons of reading material for it. temp fix is reset.
2. I have noticed google now makes my battery life do what yours does, drop 10% easy in an hour of it being completely idle. open the app, disable google now, and then see what is going on. i hate disabling anything but its worked for me.

Thanks after a second reset it seems much better. Maybe it was one of my Apps? For now I'll just install them 1 at a time.

Same thing happened to mine. Went to bed at 95%, killed all apps, empty ram, turn off data but left wifi on. Woke up 8 hours later and it was down to 17%. Unprecedented 10% hour drain. Usuallly it drains 3 -5 percent overnight. Same thing happened to wife's phone and she is on Sprint but she left wifi and data on. Uninstalled Google camera and Skype and notice it went away. Testing it again tonight.
Edit: Test it again last night. 4% drop in 8 hours. Woke up to 96% this morning. Hopefully that fixed the problem.
Update: Went to bed at 11:30 at 68% and woke up 7 hours later and battery is still showing 68%! Surf the web for 5 minutes before battery drop to 67%. Amazing standby battery drain. I had turn off wifi, bluetooth, and data before going to bed and killed all the apps. Usually this will cause a .5%/hour drain but it barely drain .5% in 7 hours this time!
I've got a UK release HTC One (M7) that was bought unlocked SIM free in July last year. It has never been rooted, but has had all official updates applied so far (Kitkat 4.4.2 the latest, still waiting on Sense 6.0).
The phone battery lasts a few days on standby, but actually use the phone for anything (calls, texts, surf the net, simple game or listen to music) the battery drains at roughly 1% every 2 mins (It's a good job I don't play graphic games, watch video or stream). I factory reset the phone and deleted everything on it, charged it to 100% and in the 2 hours it took me to set it up again and re-download apps and install them the battery dropped to 38%, so based on that I'd be lucky to get 4 hours use out of the phone on a full charge.
I have battery saver on with roaming, syncing, GPS, Bluetooth, mobile data all disabled as standard, with only wireless enabled (but that goes off when the phone sleeps - screen is set to low brightness and 1 minute), I've also gone through every app and disabled those I can't delete and that give me the option like Blinkfeed, FB, Twitter, Maps, Google Music, Play, Drive etc, but the battery still drains quickly - any ideas please? would rooting and using a custom ROM help?
Cheers
Try a battery monitoring app like GSAM or BBS to check for apps and wakelocks, which are causing the drain.

So you got 2 Hours of screen on time.. I'd say that's pretty decent, considering all the app installs you must've done. Typical battery life on this phone would get you anywhere between two hours to six hours of screen on time. In the remaining 38%, you'd probably get an hour and 15 or 30 minutes. What you were doing after you reset the phone wan't normal usage.. If you want to improve the battery life, read the posts on the battery stats thread and ask for recommendations there. Also, try keeping your phone cool, it'll help the battery a lot. Basically, what i've noticed is as soon as the phone gets hot, your battery gets over much quicker.
Better battery stats

Try batter battery stats..
Hello guys.
I just bought today my p30 pro.
I opened it and the battery was at 64%.
I setup my phone etc for some time and the battery went after some hours to 50%.
Then I put the phone aside and picked it up after about an hour and the battery was at 42%.
Nothing was happening at the background, no downloading no synching etc.
Is it something normal because it was the first usage of the phone after opening it? After the first fully charge I will give it, is it something that will not happen again?
Thanks in advance.

Hi m8, have you checked in Settings/Battery if there are some apps that squize your battery juice? Ex:Facebook, Instagram or another app that is always on and stays connected in background?
I always deactivate those apps and other ones from staying open in background or starting on boot.

I checked and i didnt find something unusual.
After it went at 42%, it was loosing 1% every 1,5 / 2 hours with just sitting there.
Today i gave it its first fully charge and after 4 hours its still at 100%, with just 10-15 minutes of calling time and a couple of sms. But for now it looks good.
I just wanted to know if the battery behavior i had is normal when you open the phone for the first time before you charge it for the first time.

When i've opened my phone it was on 58% battery. After software update and setting it up (~4h) it was on 10%. I've charged it overnight and on first day usage (from 7:30 AM 'till 23:30 PM) it was down to 23%. After that, on normal day by day use i can get ~ 6-7 hours on SOT (AOD, YouTube, Facebook, email, Chrome, calls, some photos/videos depending situation). If i have a busy day at work, it will drain ~10%-15% on 6-8 hours without hard usage.
Is it normal to have that high% at cell standby?
I cant find a way to post the picture, but my cell standby is at 18.89%.
