You know there isn't, come on. Even if you did have some weird abnormal power drain, why would you post the screen caps after only 45 minutes off the charger for a whopping 5%.
I mean, extrapolate your current usage. It's not perfect, but its not rocket science either. You've used 5% over 45 minutes. Some multiplication will show you that's about 15 hours battery life at the same usage.
If ur rooted I would recommend u use greenify it would solve ur batt. Issues.
And from the screen shots ur batt. Saver is sucking d batt. Most instead of saving.

Outside of the note on Greenify, this post is nonsense. I don't see any evidence in the power consumption charts that using HTC's Power Saver isn't "sucking d batt". OP has two battery monitors that appear to be in use for logging, and their draws are minimal compared against the actual system. Rep shouldn't be given for a post with no factual grounding.
OP, your charts look fine. Your device is in deep sleep already most of the time, which means if your normal usage stays like that, you're fine. If you want to see some improvements you might want to turn off certain Facebook syncs (since it seems to be the app causing the most wakelocks), but I don't see a problem here.

In that case, you're basically done, since it just looks like usage from hopping into the app if there's no syncing.
Such being now known, I'd have to agree with first poster. There's no problem here that I can see based on stats you collected over a very limited timeframe. If that sample is really representative of how you use your phone, then you should be fine.

Also what do you people recommend for a manual brightness setting on such day (enough so I can see but not too high to where the battery will drain fast). I am also using a anti-glare screen protector. Also can anyone tell me if having "Qualcomm Enhanced Location Service" enabled will actually save battery life?

Hi
Anyone using JuiceDefender with your galaxy note? is it worth it to buy this application?
Thanks
Sam
Save your money and skip it like anti virus apps. Many people recommended it so i bought it but i didn't like it at all. Experienced sluggish performance, connections not stable and sometimes connection doesn't even come back on unless i manually turn it back on. Also push mail doesn't work since juicedefender turns off data when not in use and checks every 15, 30 etc intervals (however u set it to check), i don't like that at all. I rather have 100% reliable fast performance connectivity than app that saves few % of battery. Just my 2cents

My previous phone was pretty crappy and I had pretty crappy service, so I had to make sure I turned wifi, mobile data, etc. off when not using them. On my Note, I don't even bother turning them off because they drain so little. I don't think bothering with Juicedefender is worth the trouble.

Had an old Xperia Arc and Juice Defender worked quite well to last me the day.

I agree...
Being new to the android and rooting scene. I downloaded all the recommended apps and one by one uninstalled them including juicedefender...
Whats the point of it stopping data when screen is off? It defeats the purpose of push notifications.
Also I didn't notice any real extension of battery life either
I think it depends how you set up juice defender ultimate. For example on weekdays and working hours I use the "peek" option, letting jd enable connection every 5 minutes. Of course I have than battery drain. With different settings on different times and/or days (up to flight mode at night) I have significant less battery consumption.
It is also important when you use your phone a lot with the screen on, not to let jd automatically turn data on, because then there is obviously no difference at all, with or with out jd running.
There is no use of such apps, I have tried used many such apps from my S2 days and I never felt any difference in performance or battery life..just let it go. Ur using an Android device, and if u use it as a smartphone should be used, u will need to charge in at least once a day.

AutoStarts is doing everything for me.

Exactly. Juice defender is crap. Its just for lazy people who can't maintain their settings on their own. and juice defender is obviously always running in the background, using up cpu power and draining battery on its own

It does save little battery and drains at the same time. Huge down side of using this kind of app is no push and data connection is glitchy, sometimes takes awhile to connect back to network or wifi and slower performance. I can still use gnote all day with single charge so I don't find this kind of app useful to me at all. It's really not hard to turn off and on data or wifi on android unlike ios crap where you have to dig in settings.
Save few % battery vs slow performance, hit or miss connection.. I think answer is simple
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I used to use it, ultimate version. But I quit using it and still have great battery because of my own setting changes. Juicedefender might be okay for people that don't use their phone much. But, if you are constantly on it, like I am, it is just a memory and battery hog.
Its not worth it, and possibly wastes battery juice rather than saving it.
I've been using it for several weeks now, when i go to sleep my usual percentage is from 70 to 85 % i always turn wifi off as i don't charge it at night. With the app running in the background, when i wake up it goes down to 45% when i do not use it as in its not running in the background I'm the morning the battery percentage only hours down by 5% max to 80%.
Pcworld made an intensiv3 comparison on the effect this apps do. The verdict: keep your money.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
battery saver is better
Don't bother. I used it on my HTC Flyer and I saw no difference. Migrated it to the SGN and I saw a huge difference after I uninstalled.
The features are limited and just stupid if you ask me. I believe the best battery app would regulste connectivity on demand (ie when I open Dolphin or refresh Facebook it would connect automatically and disconnect immediately afterwards).
If you are looking to extend battery life I suggest self regulating your connectivity (ie use the toggles) and screen brightness.
For even better battery life try and avoid apps that constantly run (eg ones that monitor other apos and processes).
You should get very decent life out of the SGN, and if you don't do what I did and get a spare battery. They are cheaper than you might think and they are an absolute life saver in emergencies or times with heavy usage.
Hope that helped

Hi
I've been lurking these forums looking for this but haven't found anything quite like this. The P880 prides itself on great standby battery life but mine is draining more than my previous Motorola RAZR (not the maxx). It never lasts more than about 14-15 hours and that is when i do almost nothing. One, two calls a few messages with no wifi and data off. I have factory reset the phone a few times and whiped the cache. I've tried not installing any software when done and fully charging but still it drains. I'm on v10f but this was a problem before I updated as well.
My only thought is that the battery is flawed, but I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it in repairs if it isn't (the service here is slow and customer support is weak when it comes to this, here in Iceland)
I took screenshots of the drainage. 90% of that is me not using the phone at all. Is this normal? Should I ask for a new battery? The phone is about 3 weeks old btw.

Went to sleep with the phone at 94% and woke up with 69%. Everything was off. Sync, mobile data, wifi, backround data, location, gps, nfc, I even set it to 2g networks only. Now it says that the "phone" took 69% of that? I'm flabbergasted.

Try to do a factory reset, the update didn't help me until I did a factory reset. Now my 4X HD only looses about 1-2% over night vid auto sync, before factory reset I lost about 30-40%.
Sent from my LG-P880 by Tapatalk 2
I use GO Power Master to auto switch to Alarm mode (only alarm, brightness 30%), and the phone eat less than 1% of battery for 6 hours. (firmware V10f)
I cannot see the attached images (don't know why) but I think you should check how long your phone is Awake, Screen On, Wifi and GPS On... then see which apps are cause the drainage.
Also, give the battery more recharge cycles. The battery life on first 2 cycles was catastrophic - for example it lost 4% just by rebooting, but after few days it stabilized to my ordinary each 2nd day charging cycle when turned off in the night. The biggest battery eater seems to be for me display brightness.
Batterylife with 10F is pretty good. Over night I dont lose any battery (data off) and during the day with autosync on only ~2 percent per hour. This is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I previously used. I did set CPU max speed to 1,1GHz with SetCPU.

.brightness lowest
.data, wifi, blutooth, nfc turned off if not used
.extended battery on
.i dont play games.
Cpu spy showing deep sleep well when i didnt touch my device, but android system is showing the highest in battery life. Im abit confius about that. Shouldnt screen is the highest? Hmm.
Sent from my LT25i using xda app-developers app
Here is my ss. Why the hell android system is the higher? Ive used many android device before, seems this is not normal. Deep sleep is going well according to cpu spy.
battery life is really relative
it varies on users to users
it depends on many things:
- brightness display settings, auto vs manual
- apps installed, some are consistently running on the background
- data connection, this is the biggest drainer, depending on your area, you may get strong or weak signal(weak means your phone will tend to consistently trying to look for better connection from the network resulting to more drain in battery)
- etc., etc.
bottomline, don't worry about it too much unless the drain is really really horrible
personally, my TX is horrible in 3G but that is expected
Thank you for replying, may u check my screen shot, i just upload it. and please tell me is this also happen to ur device? normal/not normal?
I once had this problem and solved it by wiping cache and dalvik cache. System isn't supposed to use most resources on the phone
But even with system using that much battery you don't have a bad battery life.
I usually don't end up with 50% battery after 12 hours (usually I'm already drained by then )

1. The less home screens you have, the better. Each swipe action, though it sounds strange, requires up to 100% of your CPU which hits the battery life. If you fit most of your icons and widgets to 1-2 screens, it will save your battery, because you won't swipe back and forth.
2. No need to keep the brightness on the lowest level, if you are using the ROM which lets you calibrate the backlight levels. Spend 1-2 days on choosing a comfortable level of brightness for each level of outer light intensity.
3. Move all togglers for WiFi, GPS etc. to the main screen (Elixir 2 [Widget] is a good tool to create a control panel) or to the notification area. It will remind you that some functions are turned on, and you'll be able to disable them. I always disable WiFi in the office, because I have a decent amount of free Mbs to spend, and our WiFi access point is 'blinking' making my phone reconnect again and again... you know. Don't forget to turn off GPS if you don't use it frequently.
4. Don't let your widgets synchronize the data too often. It's better to use synchronization on demand.
My phone with CyanVivo 10.1 aboard is able to live for 15 hours without recharging which includes web browsing, books reading, calls making and a bit of gaming. I guess that's the time period you need...
If you want, I can tell more about the apps that I'm using.
Thanks for your replies guys, I can definately see an improvement in battery life, but how do i change backlight levels? I want to be able to game with a decent amount of battery left. I only have three home screens and my Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi is off when unnecessary.

If you're using CyanVivo 10.1, you have this feature.
Open Settings -> Screen, choose Brightness (I can be mistaken about the actual option names, because my system language is different, but I hope it won't mislead you), check 'Auto' box in the dialog box and touch the second button below (Customize or Calibrate or whatever -- again, I don't know how it's called in your case). You'll see a list of brightness levels which your device can distinguish according to its light sensor. Shift all runners to the left. Walk around with the device in your hands, look at its screen under bright daylight, in the room near the window, in the elevator etc. As soon as you see that some level is not comfortable to you (too bright or too dark), open this screen again, look at the current level (displayed at the top of the window with runners) and adjust the setting for the corresponding brightness range.
Remember that each next brightness level must be higher than the previous one (you won't be able to move the runner more to the left than the previous one.
Hi,
Can you tell on what level current you have while phone is in standby? Using for example CurrentWidget.
I have at about 60mA level. And I think that it is too high. Battery drain at about 2 or 3 percents per hour.
Thank you for your answer.

Disable Google Now and Google Location History. They're draining the battery as hell.

Yea lol sorry for posting after a while. My battery is an alarming 334 mAh, and I have disabled Google now etc., lowered brightness and stuff. What do I do? It's really annoying having my battery strain so much. This morning, I lost 4% in 45 seconds.
Click thanks if I helped you out!

Try to use BetterBatteryStats. Propably you will find the app responsible for that.
Think it's time for a new battery.

I don't think so because on stock sense, battery is amazing. I am using greenify.
EDIT: Can those on CM10.1 tell me what their adjustments are to save battery? This includes voltage, governors, battery lux levels, APS which save battery etc. Thanks heaps guys.
Click thanks if I helped you out!
Never mind, battery is amazing now. Thanks for the help guys.

DS Battery Saver
I tried DS Battery Saver, it helps very significantly, when I lock the screen, it auto-cut the wifi and data, and only wake up for a 1 min every x hours, I can set the plan, it's an amazing tool. Now I can use my phone for 15 hours in average.
