Battery Drain in CM9/MIUI VengeanceNote

Hey guys. I'm getting terrible battery life with this ROM while only one other person I saw reported bad battery life. I'm on AT&T. I tried disabling FastDormancy and it did not make a difference.
Help?

It could be a bad app or something.. need more details..
Anyways, maybe perform a clean install and see if it helps?

Okay; so I used this and it appears that AudioOut_1 is causing partial wakelocks on my phone. I read up on it and I just disabled all OS sounds and vibration feedback. Is this an ICS issue?

Reporting back. Disabling system sounds did nothing. My battery drained about 8 percent in 40 minutes while on standby. AudioOut_1 is still at the top of partial wakelocks.

Battery drain/best ICS Rom regarding battery life

Hey, I started using this ICS Rom (the AOKP version), comming from overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697589
I have a major battery drain. Like 50% in 10 hours without using the tab. Any ideas how that can be?
Also is there a custom ICS Rom which is known for its good battery life?
Thanks.

CM9 drain off battery too fast too... Maybe ICS isn't optimized for our tab...

Yes, but that seems like a lot to me... I am thinking about switching back to Overcome, I cannot take my tab with me anymore with this battery consumption.

Install CPU spy to see if your CPU is going into deep sleep.

How should I do that? I mean, do I run the app and then simply leave some time?
EDIT: The tab does not go into deep sleep. Does that mean I have a wakelock? How can I find out, what is keeping the tab awake?

Install ''BetterBatteryStats'' from play store and see what is causing the wake lock.

I don't know how I did it but the tab is now on 125 Mhz when I don't use it. However, CPU Spy says that it does not go into deep sleep. How can that be and what is the difference between deep sleep and simply going to the lowest CPU frequency?

Cm9 stable release without gapps install is giving me battery backup almost same as overcome.no more over heating,lags or bugs.perfect build.
nightly build cause overheating n fast drainage in my tab. however didnt try latest versions as after stable release i didnt flash any other rom.my main concern use to be battery life so always come back to gb.bt now 2.3 is outdated for me.

i installed cpu spy in my tab..

Run betterbatterystats for a few hour and post the screen capture here for kernel wake locks and partial wake locks.
Maybe we can help.
Saying less than 2% doesn't mean much.

If it us really NetworkStats, from my own experience, it was bad modem.
What is your baseband showing.
You may need to replace the modem.

We nail the problem then.
In the dev forum, there is a sticky thread called modems.
Get one, maybe jpz.
Unpack it, copy the modem.bin to /radio/modem.bin
Reboot, check baseband.

Mediaserver battery drain solved

Hey guys,
I got my xperia t yesterday and i immediatly updated it to jelly bean. Ive done 3 full charges already and mediaserver keeps draining my battery. I put in an empty sd card and ive only got a few photos. Does this go away after a few days or should i do something about it?

Let it settle for a few days. It will get better. This is normal behaviour

Odp: Mediaserver battery drain
In my case Mediaserver stands ONLY for any app that plays music when the screen is off. So for me it's PowerAMP.

This is really strange. It shouldn't be that way.
Well if you want, you could try repairing the software using PCCompanion or Sony Update Service. And then check if the problem still exist.

It's slowly getting better im just going to wait a couple more days. Screen is highest consumer now instead of mediaserver but its still high.

If youre on root, download rescan media root. Disable automatic scanning.
Then download rescan media to rescan manually.

Xperia V - Huge battery drain (Google Services)

My Xperia V was draining much battery while sleeping, so yesterday I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2 hoping it could get better.
But it's still draining almost 30% in a period of 8 hours, while I'm sleeping.
I can notice a huge drain caused by Google Services and have already greenified some apps.
It can't be normal, right?! Could someone help me?
Despite this problem, now I have a really better smartphone... So, thank FXP and, please, keep supporting Xperia V. :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Not sure if this question belongs to be an own thread...but ok. here we go.
from my experience with Cm i can tell you, if you want better battery life, then you maybe should use a stock firmware!
I used CM and AOKP some weeks before, but the battery drain wasnt normal, not to say horrible.
But this is my experience. You should ask in your CM-Rom Thread, or CM Q/A Thread i think.

I'm a new member and I couldn't ask this in CM thread
I understood what you've said, but even using stock rom I was having that percentage of draining at night...
Do you have a Xperia V?
Could you (or someone else) tell me how much draining is considered normal in the period I've mentioned before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

30% in 8 hours means that on average your battery will last a day.
That is perfectly normal.
Also, if you keep flashing stuff and installing apps then it drains battery quicker. Leave it alone for a week and see if it settles down.

Sorry, i have a Xperia T.
in the xperia T thread of tilals unofficial CM build (development section) someone mentions also such problems:

Seriously though this ROM is great. All that needs to be fixed are the camera bug, music wakelock thing, and heavy battery usage from Android System and Google Services and then it's basically perfect.

So, i guess its normal? But an actual CM User can give you better report. Not using it anymore.
awww, gregbradley?
30% in 8hours sleeping? horrible....but you are right, let it settle, fmlogin

Omg, my Galaxy s3 loses only 2% in the same period while sleeping, it's a BIG difference
I had been facing this problem since I bought this phone (2 months ago), that's why I tried to flash CM yesterday... So, I think that nothing will change if I just wait...
Anyway, thank you guys...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

apologies, I didn't see that it was 8 hours while you were asleep. That is not right. But it may be because its working hard after a flash. Please leave it for a while and it should settle, or install better battery stats app (Free on xda) and see whats keeping the phone awake.
Also check what your cpu is set at and the governor, if its on performance it will be maxing out all the time..

The governor is ondemand and I didn't change the clock of cpu...
I'll install the app and come back with a screenshot, so I think it'll be easier to find some problem

Hi,
I'm running the stock firmware. The battery drain during one night (about 8 hours) is ~ 5%.

Mavhia, can you notice an unusual consume from google services?
Good to know that this isn't happening only with my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Some screenshots.
The graphs show another problem: it is like the phone just know that lost some battery when I turn on the screen.
For example: if I leave the phone with 95%, it pass the hole night "thinking" it has this value, but when I turn on the screen the battery instantly loses around 15%, this "fast drain" stabilizes when it reaches the "real percentage".
Could it be a hardware problem? The battery itself...
Has already someone noticed something similar?
