Anyone experiencing Dialer showing up high on battery usage after Gingerbread update?
My battery is at 70% now, and it says Dialer has used 13% of that, but I haven't made a call after charging. Strange.
Nope ... Ive got 91% in display

My dialer 9%, seems a bit high, my calls amount to less than 1%, and most of those are incoming
In battery usage, if you tap on dialer you get a screen that lists data used, why does dialer use data ? Maybe that's something to do with why it uses battery.
I noticed it today, 14 hours after charging dialer used 19% of battery! I haven't made any call today.
When I look at details it says:
CPU total 12s
CPU foreground 7s
Keep awake 2m 44s
Data sent 561.08 KB
Data received 382.21 KB
Included packages
Field Test
SIM Toolkit
Dialer Storage
Phone
I'm experiencing the same thing. 20 hours after a full recharge my dialer used 51% (battery is on 70-80%). Without making a phone-call of course
Mine seems to be crap after the GB update.

I don't have an issue with the battery life itself, it's fine, the dialier just shows up as using a large % of the batter for no use.
After my phone crashed this morning, and had to take out the battery, the dialer doesn't show up in the battery usage anymore.. so I guess that problem's solved (for me).
Mine seems to be quiet normal as it is showing 8% (60/60 KB data sent/received) however display is the most battery killer 58%.
Ps: I set brightness myself.

My girlfriend bought a HTC Wildfire S (purple) but encounters the same problem. The battery lasts for about 10 hours...
What happens is, if she starts her phone nothing is wrong and battery use shows normal behavior. When she makes or receive 1 call, the dialer starts consuming power until the battery is depleted sometimes. One night the battery was depleted within 10 hours.
Some software information about the phone:
Android version: 2.3.3.
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Software number 1.33.401.2
Mostly the battery lasts for about 1 day up to 1,5 day which is about as long as my desire Z. I would expect that this little phone can last a bit longer.
This is the current status of battery use when writing this post:
[97%] Dailer
[ 2%] Cell standyby
[ 2%] Phone idle
[ 1%] Bluetooth
Yeah I'm getting high dialer battery usage too. Not sure if its affecting battery life as a whole tho.
Get 15hrs of decent usage, so I'm happy (coming from cyanogen nexus one). But would love it, if there was more in the old girl

Hmmmm sseems good
Yes. What's strang though, is that some days the dialer usage is high, and some days it isn't. It's nothing to do with calling, because I notice substantial consumption even after the phone has been idling overnight.
Something wasn't right today... Phone only lasted 11 1/2 hours, with only 1 hour of actual use.
And the dialer was the culprit using 40% of that usage. So it can be a problem and a big one, I might have to have a chat with htc support me thinks

Hi,
I was just opening a new tread about it, coz i have the same problem
dialer 97%
after 15 hours the battery is empty
I have the Wildfire S
thanks
If the Dialer process is using as much battery power as the Cell Standby or Phone Idle processes, then double-check the SIP client settings.
Home -> Settings -> Call Settings -> Accounts -> Receive Incoming Calls -> [disable]
SIP registration in Gingerbread eats battery life.
Does anybody experience a 3% to 5% battery drain just a few minutes after charging the battery to 100%? It has already reached 100% so I already unplugged it from the charger, but then I noticed after a few minutes, it went down to 97% already, and then in 10 minutes, it's already down to 96%. In 3 hours, it's down to 84%; in 7 hours, it's down to 38% and that's just on standby mode with Wifi/Bluetooth OFF, 3G OFF, GSM only. I've been experiencing this problem for the past few days now. I've already conditioned my battery, charging it to a full charge (100%) after draining the battery until it shuts the phone off. I only charge the battery while the phone is off and usually it takes about 3 to 4 hours maximum to charge it to 100%.
The longest time it reached was 12 hours (battery unplugged from charger) and that is with light use, such as Wifi is only on for a couple of hours, so basically just 2 hours web browsing and skype, 10-20 text messages and 30 minutes to 1 hour browsing the photo gallery or watching videos. No phone calls and 3G is off. The rest of the day, the phone is just on standby mode. I only have at most 10 widgets on the home screen. I have Avast Antivirus running in the background.
I am currently using Easy Battery Saver, Easy Task Killer, GO Task Manager and Battery Monitor Widget. I've uninstalled Juice Defender since I don't think it helps that much when it comes to the battery drain. Currently, the power saving option (available on Note) is enabled at 50%.
Wifi and Bluetooth: OFF when not used
Use Packet Data and Data Roaming: OFF
Network Mode: GSM Only
Auto Sync: OFF
Auto Brightness (Display): OFF and scale is at the most left
Animation (Display): No Animations Shown
Screen Timeout: 30 seconds
Use Wireless Networks/GPS Satellites: OFF
Power Saving: ON at 50%

Any feedback or comment on this matter would be really much appreciated. Thanks!
From a personal standpoint. Your screenshots shows that your phone had never ever done a deep sleep at all. the 'Awake' mode is continously consistent as well. I guess the probable reason for that is you've installed ''Avast AV" on your phone. It's always running in the background (whenever the phone is ON). From my experiences, Any background application running would always cause wakelocks and the phone would never enter into deep sleep at all.
How bout you try uninstalling some of the background apps your using esp. Avast AV and give it a day to observe if your still having that battery drain issue. (Don't forget after uninstalling or removing those apps, try to wipe dalvik cache and battery stat and restart your phone after.)
and Oh by the way, I am using Juice Defender and contrary to your saying it doesn't help.. IT DOES HELP save battery as I my Note is able to reach 1.5- 2 days of normal use.
Cheers!
Yeah and download betterbatterystats and do some searching on it. With it you can discover what is causing those wakelocks. Search the web for more info on your wakelocks.

I'm using avast and never seen a drain like that. Only time I have is because of background processing. First thing I would do is turn off Background Data
Then as others have said - check batterystats to see where wakelocks are
Plus a rooted phone is a good thing. Titanium backup allowed me to freeze wi-fi sharing which also made a big difference
Finally - clear all caches from Applications menu and reboot

Only picture that shows that is the one with 1 minute 56 sec discharging time, so it was taken shortly after taking charger out. No suprise of it being almost 100% screen on time there if its only 2 minutes
Also installing "cpu spy" will give the cumulative time that your cpu spent at each frequency including deep sleep , mine is showing 88%
John.
Anti virus app is battery hog, I had avast before too, and I uninstalled it after 2 days using. Also that Juice defender, from my test before, it use up more battery than it saved. turning on and off those 3G/Wifi thing is using up alot of battery. and you know what? even the betterbatterystats use up alot, at least to me, becoz it scan what is up frequently.
Hello! Thank you all so much for your response. I've installed both BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy and here are the results (please see attachments). Upon checking CPU Spy, it shows there that phone did went to deep sleep, maybe? I'm not quite sure, but it shows on the screenshot that it went to deep sleep for 19%. So does that mean the phone really went to sleep?? I'm sorry to ask this question, since I've never really encountered this problem before with my previous Samsung Wave phone, how will you know that your phone went straight to deep sleep mode?
Also, after 46 minutes or so, the battery went down to 96% already after charging it. The battery drain was already 4% in less than an hour.
@letters_to_cleo: I have not uninstalled Avast yet, since I'm still hesitant to use my phone without an AV. But I will try your suggestion for 1 day and see if there's any battery improvement.
I'm looking forward to your response or suggestions. Thanks again!
i am having problem too with new battery original samsung ( made in japan, finished in korea) previously i use samsung battery made in china, finished in korea. charged it over night with power off. it only last 13hrs. my wife phone can last 30hrs.
i've used batterymix to check the battery usage graph, the usage graph drop very fast compare to my wife phone. i'll post some screen capture of the graphs.
another issue is i used once wifi sharing. after turning switching the wifi sharing off, the wifi sharing service always at the background even after many reboot. how to turn that off??
You might need a new battery. Any rechargeable battery has a finite charging cycle. Just a suggestion.
Hi, all! I just noticed that the battery drains still even during deep sleep mode. After 3 hours or so (during sleep mode according to CPU Spy), the battery went down to 92%. It drains even faster when the phone is in use, especially when Wifi and Bluetooth are on, maybe 2-5% drain in 1 hour.
Maybe there's something wrong with the battery?? It's still a new battery and I can see some improvement each day though, but that's because I use it less each day. Before the battery can only last for 8-10 hours, then it increased to 12 hours, and then to 16-17 hours. BetterBatteryStats' current estimate to empty is 24 hours as of today, but that's because I only used the phone today for only a couple of hours, with 20 minutes Wifi and Bluetooth ON and most of the time, it's on deep sleep mode according to CPU Spy.
What do I do with the results from the Partial Wakelocks? Do I have to disable those apps?? The Kernel Wakelocks didn't show any reference apps running. The screenshots for the Partial and Kernel Wakelocks that were taken a few hours earlier still show the same results after 3 hours.

That would be really bad luck. I got my Note via preorder in Germany at the first day it was sold and since then I charged it everyday, sometimes even twice and there is no difference to the first day. If I get told by Samsung after 6month of normal usage the battery is dead that would be the last Samsung device I bought and I use a lot of Samsung stuff.
@ebichan24
Your last screenshots show between 9:35 and 13:35 5% of battery drain. That's not really a good value but ways lower than before. Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
And since when occurred this issue? Did you install new Apps before this happened?
On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.

Agreed with Kanalcommander.... try a reboot in the first instance.
Others have also noted that it takes a few refresh cycles before the phone more accurately reports battery use. Perhaps what you are reporting is because the phone and battery are new (new ROM or Kernel loaded?)
What I have done in the past is to reboot into CWM recovery then clear the battery stats (in the Advanced menu option) Recharge the battery to 100% until it says to remove charger and then use normally until battery down to around 20%, then recharge the battery to 100% again. Do this over a few days and that may help.
thanks, it is new battery two days old.

I was having similar problems with my new note and finishing full charge in 12 hrs but fixed some things and my last charge gave me 2d6hr seriously..few things i did were stop using live wallpapers!

I put phone to auto flymode using that app when its sleeping time rest i am more than satisfied even if on GB LC1 fw..waiting for official premium suite for ics since i recently upgraded from sgs2 using ics i miss that smoothness and much better bat life.. Let me know if can be helpful.. Good luck

@TempusFudgeIt
That's what I'm currently doing right now, well, actually, what I do is I discharge the battery until it reaches 0% and turns the phone off. And then I charge the phone for 3 hours while it's switched off, I turn it back on again to check if the battery is fully charged and then I unplug it from the charger.
@Kanalcommander
**Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
I haven't deleted any apps yet since I don't know which app/s to delete. Most of the apps I downloaded in Note were the same apps that I used in my iPhone4 and Samsung phone before.
**And since when occurred this issue?
This issue occurred since the first day I bought the phone, which was a couple of weeks ago. How long does it take to condition a new battery and new phone?? I'm sorry if I have to ask this question, it's just because I never really experienced this problem with my previous smartphones.
**Did you install new Apps before this happened? On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
I only installed recently CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats and that's it. The drain of 5% from 9:35 to 13:35, the phone's just on deep sleep mode. And then from 13:35 to 23:44, it went from 92% to 74% while the phone is on deep sleep mode at 90% according to CPU Spy. That's 18% battery drain. It's just an unacceptable number for me. I tried rebooting the phone already, but every time I do so, just a few minutes after I turned the phone ON, there's already a 1% drain in the battery.
Also, does the battery really drain faster when the Wifi is ON? I've read in other threads that there might be some problem with the recent OS update that Samsung needs to address. Is this true?? Because as you can see on the screenshot below, the battery was still at 74% by 23:44 and then after I turned ON the Wifi and used it until 01:26, the battery went down to 54%. That's already a 20% battery drain in just less than 2 hours. I was only browsing through the Android Store and Skype.
Calibrate your battery in case you flashed any roms and for first usage I got my battery to 0% 3 times then everything is running great for example its at 47% now its 22 now and I have had it off charge since 7 morning..... i have wifi gps and 3g always on and use music player bluetooth and made some calls

My battery (also only a week old) drains quickly too. Can anyone tell me if widgets draw a lot of current? And then is it only the ones on the visible screen or do all widgets draw juice all the time?
I will ask such thing, did you guys check the battery expiration day ? Mostly sibce you got your phone almost a yeae after it was announced you nay get a bad battery, as for widgets the ones that are always active and asking for informatiom. Like location or weather over the internet yes they do eat your battery kinda fast.

Recurring battery drain? - Caused by memory of using app to drain battery?
Hello!
I used a battery drain app when charge left was 30% to accelerate drain to "die out" stage. After I completed the calibration process for unrooted phone as suggested in various sites (charge fully, switch off and charge etc.) I started using it from a 100% stage.
This afternoon when the battery showed 30% I saw in BMW the current flow was in -10ma to -15ma and it started spiking to hundreds. There was no change in settings or usage. From the 30% level it dropped to 10% in an hour and I had to charge again.
Was puzzled why the battery which was dropping around 0.5%/hour in standby earlier to the 30% level suddenly went down hill. My first guess was it was possible some file in the system remembered the previous usage history and replayed it out.
Any suggestions? Anyone faced this before? Everyone says LiOn batteries dont have memory so if anything it has to be the phone.
Thanks!
Hello guys,
after 1 year usage of my HTC One I'm still very satisfied with that phone :good:. The only problem is the battery doesn't last as long as in the beginning. I'm running the original htc sense with android 4.4.2. I don't even get through the whole day with hardly any usage. For example: I undock the phone in the morning (about 6.00 am), until now (10.00 am) I watched about one 5 minute video, listened to music for about 10 minutes and used facebook for a few times. I only got about 60% left. This is quite less, as I have done everything possible to reduce battery usage. I did disable vibration on keyboar, disabled all not used connections (bluetooth, nfc, ..), reduced display brightness, disabled not used applications.
How long does your device last? Is this extreme draining of battery usual?
best Regards

there is already a thread to discuss battery usage here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195079
For several years, my Note 4 would end the day at 75% to 80% charge with light usage - one or two quick calls and checking a few texts.
About 6 weeks ago, something changed. With the same usage pattern, in the same locations, the battery is now at 35-40% at the end of the day.
I though the battery was at fault and bought a new one, but have exactly the same pattern.
I bought "Better Battery Stats" app to see what's going on. The summary stats shows Deep Sleep 76% and Awake Screen Off 23%. Interestingly, Wi-Fi On and Wi-Fi Running are both 100%. I have not made any changes to Wi-Fi, Apps or other settings.
Under Kernel Wakelock, PowerManagerServiceWakeloks is 14%, and "bluesleep" is 10%.
Under Partial Wakelock, the highest is bluedroid_timer at 3%
Under Alarms, com.googleandriod.gms is 57%.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to look to find the root cause issue?
I have bought the HTC Desire 10 pro in October 2017. As of late I have been noticing that the battery is draining way too fast. I have only two apps installed apart from the pre installed google apps that comes with the phone; Whats App and FX File Explorer. I have disabled the pre installed apps that i don't use like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram. The phone was launched in September 2016.
I keep the battery of the phone between 40-80%, as advised by every website to make sure the battery lasts long.
However, last night i went to sleep at 12:00 am with the phone at 82% and I woke up at 9:45 am to find out the phone is on 63%. This is even after turning on Extreme Power Saver on throughout the night and the WiFi was also turned off. The battery usage shows that Cell Standby has taken the maximum amount of power. I tried searching online but there is no proper solution that has worked for me.
Since I have no battery draining apps, Is this because the phone is old? My phone is running Android 6.0
What could be the reason and What is the solution to this issue?
