Battery problem

What program can I use to see what is eating my battery alive?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Settings - About phone - Battery usage.

Oh I thought there was a program that showed individual apps that are running and the percent at which they are draining your battery.

Indepth battery usage stats?

Is there an app that dispays what's actually draining the battery?
My cappy seems to randomly drain fairly steadily and quickly some days but not others with the same type of usage so I want to find out exactly whats happening.
Im currently using watchdog and systempanel but neither really show what's going on.

Hi, Nooby question coming up.
recently rooted my SGS2 using the Chainfire Kernel and now have noticed that Android OS is prominent in my battery usage, sometimes around 50%in an hour,
Is this normal?
I also run a HTC IS stock and I have not yet seen ANdroid OS on the usage stats.
What is Android OS doing as I have also noticed Android System in the list at times?

Heavy battery drain

Hello fellow note owners
My note has been draining a heavy amount of battery lately. 2 days ago I did a battery calibration,drain it to 0 then fully charge it to 100 while phone is off. Today i turned it on and I was surprised the first 5 mins I used the phone, 5% of battery gone!
I am currently using Rocket Rom v22 on Abyss kernel 4.2
Abyssplug governor
I am using SPB Shell launcher
My screen brightness is all the way to dimmest
Wifi,gps,BT are all turned off
Data and background data is on
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Download Better Battery Stats and find out what is causing your *wakelock*

whatever you are using... am using the same except spb laucnher. Mine consumes average of 3% per hour with GPS,3G, background sync on. And not using any battery monitors.. Try reseting..coz some app may cause this drain..

Thanks for the replies

I have this app but I dont really know how to use it... and also I am not concerned about my phone draining battery when im not using it. Its when I am CURRENTLY using it and draining massive amount of battery for simple task (I.e browsing over my phone's apps, Internet, checking email using K9 mail, Facebook) I literally just unplugged the phone from charger and used for 5 mins and battery immediately dropped to 95%...

This is what I wanted to happend 3% PER HOUR!!! Mine is 5 mins = 5% gone!
What do you mean reseting? Reset what?

However any app grinding when you aren't using the phone will also be grinding cpu when you are.. In better battery stats select wakelocks and see what apps are constantly waking up.
You really want to get your phone using minimal cpu when it's off so you can really judge how much the running apps are using.

Check out Badass Battery Monitor. It's easier to understand.

I was having the same battery drain issue. I install better battery stat app and found that google+ was using most of the battery and stay awake the whole time. I uninstall google+ and no more drain.

I am not sure if these are normal..
Can someone guide me on how to do some tweaking/killing bloatwares to improve battery life?

What is on top of the list when you hit "App Usage" in Badass Battery?

Spb shell 3d.
Also on on badass battery, the phone radio is on the same time as the battery time. Is that normal?

You got your answer right there.
SPB Shell 3D is eating up the juice. Its a beautiful launcher but its serious battery drain if you play with it little bit.

[Q] Phone is always awake (battery drain overnight)

So I got my One two days ago and installed some apps, running on stock 4.1.2.
According to the system monitor my phone is ALWAYS AWAKE, even when I turn it off and only plug in the charger.
How can I solve it, how can I find what app is keeping my phone awake? I am losing like 50% battery overnight while in airplane mode
Thanks, BBLN.

It's difficoult found the app.
So try with an hard reset or see in dev settigs if there is the voice selected

Nope, it's like my phone is draining while being idle (On battery usage: Phone Idle - 50%).
I closed some running services, seems like now he is finally really idle.

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK

Did you do a full wipe after the update?

Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.

Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.

I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en to hibernate FB when not in use.
EDIT: you have to have root

Why are there 3 battery guru icons in your bar? When I used it there was only 1. I got rid of it though after doing a custom ROM. Had no use for it.

Third one appears when low battery for extra savings. Second one I don't have a clue now. I normally have two icons.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.

I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

I have thought the same today to have FB on browser rather than app. It is strange I have tweaked FB app a lot like refresh only 4 hours, no notifications left on but app still awakening mad. Now only FB bothers me other apps behave well and I get pretty good battery consumption.

I am using ARHD 21.0 and it's got 4.3 in it. Android system reports it's taking up like 50 Percent of my battery but I still get more time out of my phone than I did when I was on 4.2.2.
