[Q] Why won't my N1 battery last more then half a day?

Hi I'm with Fido using an AT&T N1. My battery doesn't last me a full day. I thought maybe it was a defective battery, so I ordered a new one. This didn't solve my issue. I still have to charge it early in the afternoon and It's not like I'm watching video's it's just sitting there on my desk.
Anybody having the same problems or has a solution?
Thanks

Check what's using your battery, and act accordingly.

Are you on the wifis when it is at your desk? If not, how many bars of reception are you getting?

Root, undervolted kernel, more efficient roms, sync settings, apn control, brightness settings, battery calibration.
Welcome to android
Were all searching for ways to make our phones last longer/dynamic/faster.

It says 67% of use is display, I set it to shut off after 30 seconds.
The wifi and BT are off.
Another thing I find weird. I have the dock. Every time i remove it from the dock and have to draw the password pattern, it's like the screen calibration is messed up. I have to close the screen and open it to get it working properly. This also makes it impossible to answer the phone when it rings while it's docked. I remove the phone and the slide to answer doesn't work as if it's not calibrated.

Check that your CPU isn't running at 100% frequency because of some rogue app.
Check that your phone has at least a couple of bars reception.

My N1 on AT&T runs 4.5%/hr usage when I'm not actively using it, around 6% if I'm doing typical stuff with it (reading email, web, etc).
It's on 3G, rarely use wifi (it's off), GPS is on, Bluetooth is on, K9 Mail is doing Push IMAP, Beautiful Weather is updating, misc other stuff is likely updating. Tasker is running doing lots of stuff, one of them is grabbing my GPS location and uploading it to my website every 10 minutes.
No IM, Facebook, or Twitter automatically running/updating.
I don't obsess over the screen brightness, generally leave it at Auto except when doing navigation in the car (It's never bright enough during the day) and I tend to pick dark themes but that's mainly because I don't like dark-on-white themes period on my phone.

Where does it say display use is 67%? In settings> about phone > battery use?

Does your phone feel hot? I notice sometimes that I'll be walking around and my phone is like burning a hole in my pocket, not literally but very hot. I noticed that when I installed wildmonks kernel and SetCPU that my battery increased TONS.

Some general things to check:
Auto email push
Cell stand by (look at reception)
Widgets auto refreshing
CPU frequency
I make sure all of the above is working properly, and my battery lasts for 2 days with light-medium usage

Sort of related question.... occasionally, I'll have "android system" just chew through my battery....if I let it just run for a few days, or if I clear the dalvik cache, it seems to fix itself, but I'm really clueless as to what is causing this....any ideas?

Don't know, but when it happens - it means the same thing I've mentioned multiple times in multiple different threads, some apps can cause the kernel to run in loop of some sorts - running at 100% CPU speed and eating the battery very quickly. Reboot sorts it out until it happens next time. Finding and uninstalling the rogue app sorts the issue, but it's a bit pain. Task killers don't help even a tiny bit, since they can't restart system service, and it's not the app that's running the loop.

Actually, for me, only clearing dalvik cache sorted it out. I had my battery die, swapped in a spare, and that one died within an hour or two....soooo yeah, reboot def did not fix the problem! xD

Use WiFi whenever you can. WiFi will more than double your cc very life over using 3g. Even just sitting there idle, its a huge difference.

N7 randomly keeps waking up?

For some reason my N7 just keeps waking up on its own every 10 minutes or so. Happens when it's charging or when it's unplugged.
Any idea why?

most likely an app

What he/she said. Give more details to what ROM you are running and what not. Also, how long has it been going on? And lastly, if recent, look at the apps downloaded most recently.

Def an app going rogue :sly: BetterBatteryStats might help you figure out which one... Lol or just look in your battery stats in your system settings. Prob the app with highest % ..assuming its not a game you play all the time!

Okay so i rebooted and after that it stopped waking up randomly when it isn't plugged in. So it probably was an app.
But when it's fully charged and still plugged in the screen keeps turning on giving me the notification that it's fully charged every few minutes. How can I stop that?

Battery Drain?

When I got the phone my battery was pretty phenomenal (comparatively speaking). But it seems since I took the update that Sprint pushed out a few weeks ago, the battery can't make it more than a few hours with light/moderate use. Its really horrid to be honest. Hoping the eventual 4.2.2 OTA will fix this. But in the meantime I wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue and possibly help identify the source of the problem. (By the way I am not rooted)

Have you checked the version of your Google Play Services APK? It can cause a particularly nasty bug on HTC devices.

Play Services is v 3.1.36 but the actual Play Store is v 4.1.10 which is said to "fix battery drain issue." Still seems to be draining pretty rapidly. Any fix you know of?

Can we see your usage stats?

The Play Store update should have also pushed Play Services, so yeah. Could we see your usage and also your app list/sync settings?

I'm in the same boat, even after the Google Play Store fix.

Seriously, we need usage stats.

Sorry, been working in home WiFi.
Hardly been using the phone since I still have my old Evo LTE and the battery is better on that.

Wifi used up 43% of 60% of your battery? That's like a quarter of your battery gone! Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? Can we see the graph and awake time etc? (Sorry for the trouble, but it's the only way we can tell)

Well, in fairness for the last week or so I've been charging the phone and leaving it in my room. The screenshot was after like a day and a half in which a hardly used it and had WiFi on.
By working on home WiFi I meant talking to ISP and bumping up speeds, for the second time in a week.
I'll post the graph when I get home from work or early tomorrow as the phone has been unplugged for about 20 minutes.

It won't hurt if you actually use it. Watching vids/playing games prevents blown up stats like that.
EDIT: Please, also include stats like screen time, awake time, cell reception, Wifi etc.

This was at work. I hardly use my phone at work fyi.

Dropped 25 ish percent in 6 hours? What seems to be the problem?
With your usage, that would give you a day. I'm happy with 11 hours.

But with no internet connection and hardly any use. It concerns me because usually it would drop 5 maybe 10%. It was great on sleep.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

OK, now that I think about it, you're right. I remember getting more than 2 days on standby with absolutely no use (on wifi).
A day with that kind of usage is really not that good. It's weird because your stats don't show anything odd. I'd like to see some moderate to heavy usage stats though. The kind you say gives you 5 hours. That would help more.

Here you go. About 50% gone in about an hour of use (on WiFi) mostly on YouTube/Twitter or music with regular use of ATK.

I'm having a serious battery drain issue with my Sprint One also, though I don't remember exactly when it started - it might very well have been that OTA update.
My battery drains when the phone is asleep. The phone will be dead in just over 24 hours from 100%, with less than one hour of screen usage. The integrated "usage" monitor shows that WiFi consumes this power , whether or not WiFi is in use. I have a paid task manager app that can track stats over time, and according to it, the processor appears to be running at ~15% constantly when the screen is off. I've tried disabling WiFi and having the phone sleep on just the cell network, to no avail. I first thought that perhaps the poor service at my house was causing it. However, I watched the battery drain at exactly the same rate when in an area with perfect coverage.
Here's the weird part - I tried airplane mode'ing my phone. Airplane mode doesn't seem to stop it. In fact, airplane mode seemed to accelerate the drain! I find it simply unacceptable that my phone will die like this with almost no usage.
I feel that the problem is not a rogue third-party app I have installed. I've used the "disable" option on Facebook, Twitter, and I've removed several other suspected apps. It makes no difference. I even suspected my task manager app; I tried removing it and looking at the integrated one, and there was no difference.

Check to make sure never auto turn on Wi-Fi is checked in Wi-Fi advanced settings. I was going to suggest poor reception since that kills my battery, but you mentioned trying airplane mode.
With screen off and nothing running, it's not surprising that Wi-Fi is the main battery drain. But it is too fast in my opinion too.

"sms" signal periodically without any notifications

Some users uin Sweden have reported a strange behaviour on the HTC One.
Randomly the phone sounds, for me its my sms-signal (but without vibration) but there is no notifications on the screen or in the tray anywhere.
I've checked if its a battery indicator, but it has sounded when the battery is like 72%, 39% or anything other. Somtimes once a day, sometimes 5 times a day and somedays never. It's always when my phone is "idle" and just laying beside me.
Anyone knows what this behaviour can be? it's strange.

I had the data roaming sound activated (even though I dont have roaming enabled) lets see if that does it.

i belive all of you have Gsam batery pro installed. Is a known bug if in it's settings is activated something like ''warn about batt temp'' and even if your batt is not hot you get a notification. Hope that help. Regards

In my case it was the Gsam battery pro. In the settings it was to alarm on different occations and when I turned all the notifications off it has been silent.

AT&T Software Update Available

Hey guys, I got a notification this morning that I can't swipe away by AT&T. Says "A new software update from AT&T is available for your device." Any idea what it is? I've already ODIN'd the MM update from a while back.

So I installed the update and it's CPF1 with the June 1st security update and a kernel compiled on May 31st. I'm not sure what else has changed or even what the size was as it had downloaded in the background.

Erratic screen backlight behavior in sunlight is also fixed.

Got this a few hours ago. Only real thing i noticed so far is the fingerprint sensor days forever to unlock the phone now. On the previous marshmellow build i was impressed how fast it was over lolipop, now it's worse than lolipop was.

I notice the difference too. Was happy when it was faster.

anyone getting battery drain on this latest update. Just lost 5% in 20 minutes with the screen off.

Has anyone noticed that after the marshmallow update the phone app to call people sometimes takes a long time to open? It is fast after if it is in memory but then it gets purged from memory, so if i open the phone app again after a few hours. It takes a long time to open the app again. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have a solution for it? The june ota did not address this.

Same here. The ota did not impact wakelocks (so it sleeps fine) but when the phone is in use, mine gets hot so it would appear the cpu frequency must be cranked all the way up; hence, the decrease in battery life. I am only able to get 3 hrs screen on time now as opposed 4.5 hrs prior to the june ota.

38mins screen on time, 53% battery left. Google services still cranking as the top battery user.
Also, the light sensors appears to be super messed up. Every little bit of shadow causes the screen to go SUPER bright and then super dim when its back in light. Walking down the sidewalk, through tree shadows, its like my phone is trying to give me a seizure

3 hrs on battery, 1hr sot, 40% battery left

This update is getting worse and worse for me, the phone won't recognize a quick charger. Normal changers are telling me 6+ hours till fully charged, wireless charging works perfectly fine. There's a massive amount of lag throughout the system now. Sometimes even trying to type a sentence is impossible, the letters pop up and dont go away with a 5-10s delay before anything actually registers on screen.
Is there a way to downgrade to the previous build?

I'm not having any issues on my phone after the update, have you tried doing a factory reset?

I dont receive the notification... using it in Argentina... but if i check updates says your software had no updates

But I need bluetooth for my gear s2. So I cleaned the data of 'Bluetooth Share' and 'Bluetooth test' and also disable the 'Bluetooth test'.
It looks better this morning, I will see what will happen.
