Bad Battery Life?

I'm having really bad battery life. I don't know what it is. When I reboot my phone it will take 10% of my battery. Also my phone will use about 10% of the battery just sitting there.
Is there anything that might improve my battery life? It might be always awake and I don't know about it. IDK.
Also I'm using DarchDroid ROM.
But I don't think it is the ROM for my batter life has been pretty bad on all ROM's.
Thanks

I started seeing much better battery life when I stopped using systray monitor, if you use it try going a day without it.
ALSO have you calibrated your battery??? This is essential if you have wiped battery stats in recovery. I mistakenly thought it was good to wipe everything before flashing a rom so that's what I did, wiped everything every time I flashed a rom. Little did I know I was jacking my battery usage up by throwing the gauge off by wiping the batt stats.
That's all I got, hope it helps

lol oops.
how do I calibrate my battery?

This is how to calibrate your battery
I'm not sure about the radio and PRL affecting battery life

Thanks man I will do it when I get home.

Try different radios. The stock radio from 1.5 just drained my battery. I use a Verizon radio. I get much better battery life. Just try them out for a day each.

Is there a post anywhere with all the CDMA Radios? Thanks

Check geekfor.me for some radios.

There is also a section for radios in the rom wiki

Thanks guys for everything. I'm really tired. Not in the right mind I guess.
Only thing I want to ask now. Is if anyone can tell me which one is best in the Dallas area.
But I can find that out on my own I suppose.

[Q] Fast Dormancy Wakelock

Hello, I'm on a quest to improve battery life as much as i can. I started reading about wakelocks and everything related (i'm pretty new to androidm, the SGSA is my first smartphone).
I'm currently using siri kernel rc-4. As i read, the kernel wakelock "secril_fd-interface" is related to the Fast Dormancy feature. This is currently my biggest kernel wakelock cause.
I'm pretty sure my carrier here in Argentina doesn't support this feature, so i tried to have it disabled. I found a code *#9900# where i could disable fast dormancy.
But checking back a few times on betterbatterystats, the "secril_fd-interface" wakelock is still present, nothing seems to have changed.
Anyone has had this problem ?? Any ideas on how to disable efectively fast dormancy ??
Thank you very much in "advance" :good:
/EDIT: Im so sorry, i swear i thought i was on the Q&A forum.... could some moderator move this thread?

Anyone?

Many thanks!!!

Here is a great link for unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
I have been running the Android Revolution ROM since I got the phone with a few more mods through the Xposed Framework. I get excellent battery life (full day with heavy usage) and am able to do pretty much anything I want with the interface.

My battery life is a little under 8hrs this is because i watch movies while in transit play games, read books and such. But if i go low power with powersave mode and use my phone like a normal person i can go the whole day with my phone. I'm using Viper Rom 2.0 with Elemental X kernel clock at 1.9

Look in the Play Store for - Greenify, that will help extend you battery life if set up correctly, and it is quite simple to use
you could always enable the "battery save" option in settings

[Q] Terrible Battery Life?

Hi, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

how can you change your battery?
though you can update your firmware to the latest
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.

I know some process are keeping it awake. But I don't know what it is and the top command seems does not provide much information.

Use better battery stats API from XDA search Google for it

4.0.3 has nice battery life.

Try Greenify, Naptime..

Thanks for the advice. Turns out it's the Google play services that's waking up my device. I have encountered this before and tried various methods in the forum yet still not fixed permanently. Anyway, for now, it's solved by rebooting the device.

Have your device manually power off/on during night say 1144Pm to 445AM. Some folks received many calls I don't so no need to have my phone on ALL night. Plus it helps my phone last way. .Way longer. This are my stats just from yesterday...http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a44fe5442fc/Screenshot_20170214-174412.png?

What ROM are you using and what kernel ? The reason I am asking is, that kernels really matter in terms of battery life.

OOS4.0.3, Franco r12. I know kernel matters. But it seems lots of people are getting great battery life with Franco.

Well... I don't have Google Play Services eating up my battery... when I go to battery stats, the most percentage that is eating up my battery is Android OS which is at 3% But I did hear some users complaining about bad drain from Google Play Services. Try this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/google-play-services-battery-drain-t3537545
Also, use this kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/kernel-elementalx-op3-1-00-t3521298 with instructions on how to get best SOT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSa-9aWmTFk
So first try the methods to fix the battery drain issue with the thread that I posted, and then go and install the Elemental X kernel, and tweak it using the instructions on the youtube video Should work like a charm !

I'm with Franco and in getting amazing battery life. You should clean flash oxygen and the flash Franco kernel again
