Might not be your power bank, try using BBS to find out

After a day i can confirm is NOT the power bank. since this happened in the past 3 days
i used Airplane mode all the night to see if some a is Wakelock my phone and got just 3 % of battery usage with the power bank attached, so i manage another test since BBS told me is Android System RIL or something like that.
Second Test: Disabled 3G+ Connectivity for 2 hours and enable just GSM 2G and just got 4 % dropped ( i make a few calls and used whatsapp so is OK), i think is 3G becuase where ilive is outside the city and recently we got a heavy storms (causing shoutdown of the nearest anntena) i have low reception rnothing and 3g running so i think my phone is using more battery trying to acquire more signal and 3G support.

[Q] SGS to be used as pocket heater? Wifi eating too much?

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with battery like everybody else.
I'm not a n00b about this and I have no crazy apps installed (I'll attach the list of apps I have)
My rotation sensor is off,
AutoBrightness is off,
HSDPA is turned off,
UMTS is turned off,
EDGE is always on and AutoSync is always on.
I have only 1 widget running that is Battery Monitor Widget.
Using SpeedMod K13C 500Hz with no tweaks applied and no lagfixes applied, I'm having huge battery drain randomly, most probably when I switch network connections wifi-edge-wifi-edge.
Here's my RomKitchen log file
http://romkitchen.org/logs/VgOonoWjJx.txt
Here's my installed apps list
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1339016/SGSInstalledApps.txt
Here's a screenshot from my last battery graph (this rom is installed almost 20 days ago)

As you can see, my battery instantly dropped by huge amount.
All I did was wake up the phone,
toggle Wifi ON,
open Skype,
login, call a contact for 3 minutes,
logout Skype,
toggle wifi off.
What I want to know is, if Wifi driver patch needed with this setup? Will it make any difference? Maybe it was not my wifi but my screen?
I desperately need advice on this.
Thanks guys.
Uninstall Skype and test it. Its running even when logged out and eating too much battery. Have tested it withhero and system panels monitor. ..
The battery draining that much all at once strikes me as very odd.
Off the cuff that seems like a reporting error to me. Try recalibrating the battery a few times the old fashioned way (drain fully, charge to 100 while off, wipe batt stats, rinse, repeat) and see if it happens again.
Good luck.
Thought about trying totally stock for while I tried different kernells and found I still go back to stock best ive had is js5 getting around 45 hours on stock against charging twice aday with modded phone

Calibrating battery and freezing skype with titanium backup seem to fix problem.

[Q] Battery drain on unrooted phone

My MotoG 2014 with Lollipop 5.0.2 is unrooted, I have read other threads about this problem: I've installed Lollipop on it from brand new phone.
The scenario is still that there is no way to track down who is draining the battery on unrooted Lollipop? :crying:
I have Google position on, wifi on, bt off, 2 sim with one active for data.
Yesterday the phone lied on a table for about 11 hours before taking the following screenshot, I may have used it (in that 11hrs) for less that one hour not continuously

How can I find the responsible app? Should I start powering off Google position?
Try to reset your device ..! This should fix it..! And that's not a huge drain in my opinion because WiFi , 3g , and auto sync is on always so its Normal 11 hrs standby and still some juice is remaining that's great actually..! ☺

If with reset you mean Factory Reset, I will leave that as last because restoring an unrooted phone is a pain (to be polite! )...
Right now I've followed the (few) steps for unrooted phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/guide-how-to-best-battery-life-moto-g-t3049970
configured localisation as "Battery Save"
removed "my face" from Smart Lock
installed Greenify and hibernated (manually... ) a few app
I cannot leave the phone in standby for long time now, I will see on next weekend!
BTW: from my point of view 80% used in 11 hrs standby is not great...
The above steps didn't change a lot the battery drain...
With "App of the Day" I got Battery Booster, actually I'm using it only to its statistics: I do not know how much I can trust them but so far the only apps that are using battery even when the phone is in StandBy are:
System UI
MotoCare
I can understand the first, but what about MotoCare?? Is it a vital component? Can I safely disable it?
I do have only Motorola Alert activated and running, but I can disable it! Both Assist and Migrate are disabled.

P) high battery drain

hello everyone, here is my problem - in last couple of week i'm having really big battery problems (to the point i'm thinking of smashing my phone to the ground ) I take my P9 of the charger and it says it is at 100%, after only few min it drops to about 90%, and when i open some app (facebook atc) it freezes and when i try to turn it on again it says 0% battery!! when i hook it up on charger it takes 20 mins to charge to 1%, and when i turn it on again it says anywhere between 40% and 100%!!! Freezing most commonly appears when i turn on my camera and take a picture, it snaps then freezes. Tried with the factory reset it didn't help.
Please anybody!!!
Most likely the battery has worn out. Is it still under warranty?
Same here, sometimes camera apps freeze and then i will reboot it. After reboot, phone shows 5% power and then force itself into shutdown. The battery actually may not empty as told by phone, when i start charging, it shows more than 5% and phone actually have juice to run longer.

Sounds like a battery replacement to me. Have to tried installing AccuBattery or anything similar to check the battery health?

It's not the battery causing this fault

I have replaced the battery in my P9 and it still gets a power drain when the camera is operated. This usually occurs in low light environments. If I immediately turn the phone back on it starts up with maybe 20% battery, which then drops 1% a second and gets hot. This is with a brand new battery fitted. I conclude there is a glitch with updated software. Hopefully Huawei will read these posts and correct with future updates.

Not the battery
Try removing your sd memory card. I think a malfunctioning sd card was causing issue of battery drain during camera use. I can't explain the full science behind this, but my p9 phone has been fine since I removed the sd

Random turning off of OnePlus 3T

Hi guys, I have the following problem. My phone keeps turning off at random times. Today it happened more then 5 times. The problem started about a month ago. The phone started turning off at random times. So I did a factory reset with complete data wipe and it didn't help. So then I disabled Google services like Chrome, Disk, Gmail etc., Cleaned the chache as well. So this stopped the problem for a while. The I decided to turn back the services one by one to see if it works and it did work alright for a week or so. But since yesterday the problem got worse. I disabled the services one again but the problem stays. I should point out that about 6 months ago I send the phone for a battery change and it was done in official OnePlus service center with OEM part. So the battery should be fine. What I noticed is a huge battery drain on the phone while is turnes off. I attach screens showing the drain and that it had about 1,5 hours of screen on time. There is barely any app on the phone. I use Edge instead of Chrome, I have Viber plus three or four other apps to try keep it simple. Can you help me with that issue?

Just wow. I have exactly the same problem. I also changed the battery 6 months ago like you did but myself with eBay battery. I was thinking it has something to do with the battery cable not connecting properly but the battery was changed 6 months ago and the problem started 1 month ago like yours. The eBay seller is sending me a free replacement to see if it works. I also tried formating ,wiping cache etc but nothing worked. I have no issues with battery drain at all though. The new battery works fine. Sometimes I notice a little overheat that I have never seen before in the 3 years I use as a daily driver. Also sometimes when it powers off, the only way to power it on is by plugging the charger.

Question Massive Battery drain on idle. Battery went from 70% to 45% overnight with all background apps closed.

I have no idea why this is happening. It's been 2 weeks since I purchased the phone. The screen time is showing 1hr 23mins but the phone was idle at night. Is there a fix for this issue?

Something is keeping your phone from deep sleeping. When the display is off it can be in one of two states, one is the phone is still on, CPU is running but the screen is blanked out, this lets apps continue to work, for example sending an email you've just sent then turned off the phone. Then after a little bit more time the phone goes into deep sleep, this sees everything frozen so nothing is running and the CPU is off. It should be in this deep slate state most of the time you are not using the phone. What can happen is applications take a wake lock, and stop the phone from going to deep sleep, and over many hours that really drains the battery.
Restart the phone and see if it is now okay. Consider what applications you have installed recently that might be causing the issue.
