[Q] How can I tell what's eating my battery?

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??

In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.

I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.

Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

download batterystats from the market and see what is keeping your phone awake in partial wakelock column...this will give you exact process name of the culprit

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

I charged battery fully, made a reboot and left device for a night. Wifi was on. I lost 10% per 9 hrs.
Phone haven't slept at all
Is that all bcoz of gtalk?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Dude your phone is just fine...10% down in 9 hrs with wifi on is too good...everything looks normal..gtalk seems to be waking up the phone to update the online offline lists.in general syncing...thats all..if it was 10% down in 1 hr then it wouldve been a problem...the data looks just fine..and trust me your phone is entering sleep mode..or else it wouldve showed different result..to confirm that install cpuspy..it will say what all frequency are being used and how much phone is sleeping and all...
so just chill..

BTW I logged out from gtalk yesterday evening so I can't understand why it's trying to connect

[Q] Xperia Z Battery drain since update .434

Hi everyone,
Since the10.1.A.1.434 update i notice some random battery drain, normally after 12hours of basic usage (20 sms, 30min read news, check facebook...) i got like 60% of battery, but some day after only 5 hours i got 60% and when i look in battery usage, android eat 70%
Someone notice the same bug and know how to fix it ? (Stamina mode is ON)
ps: sorry for my bad english

Yes, i have the same feelings about the battery. It drains for some reason. Couldn't tell if it is for the 434 because I never really used the 350. I eventually turned in my first phone because I couldn't even get to 2 hours screentime before battery died. This second unit is better, but my personal feeling is battery life sucks on the Z. Use it too in stamina mode: it discharged 6% overnight and percentage seems to drop 2 or 3 numbers at a time: I am pretty sure that in my case a good old rooting/nice kernel/ram cleaning/cpu doesn't need to jump at 1 ghz everytime you touch the screen treatment will do miracles as it did with my s3.

Maybe stop using the stamina mode? I read nothing about a draining battery yet. I didn't test this firmware yet. I will if this problem is only to stamina mode users

I'll gonna try some days without stamina mode as you say, maybe it's just a stamina bug.

having the same problem so i am going back to .350

After .434 update, the battery seems to drain a lot slower when unused ( stamina mode enabled ).
After 8 hours left unused, only 1% of the battery drained.

Realy strange... And it isn't a stamina bug, i disable it and i got the same battery drain today. 45% use in only 5h without use my XZ.

High probability that during the upgrade from .350 that some of your apps are causing issues, I have seen this before with many different phones/roms, something that fixes it for most of them is to clear the delvik cache, then when the phone is rebooting, it forces all the applications to re-optimise. Or the worst case factory reset then re-install/restore your apps from backup

Sorry, that reply was not supposed to be directed to you, don't know what happened there. Sorry should have been directed at the OP

I have backup the phone with the repair tool on pc companion, it's seems to be like a total wipe, everything on the phone have been deleted and the rom have been installed properly. now all seems to be ok, i only lose 5% in 4 hours in stand by with the same applications installed and everything exactly the same like before.

this is a confirmed issue with firmware.434 as i have bought and sold 6 xperia z just to confirm this issue .... my phones lost 20% battert in 8 hours just by sitting idle over night..
I flashed .350 on my 7th xperia z and there is no drain now....
no idea why this is happening. they are saying in another thread that its due to baseband... but how do we flash the firmware without the baseband

Funny,i found it better then the. 350 fw I mean,for me the battery life on fw. 434 is much more improved
One & Only Xperia Z

I was also getting high battery drain out of nowhere on .434. I installed Better Battery Stats and it showed the culprit was something called "wifistatemachine".
I had previously set the wifi to only stay on when plugged in when the phone is asleep. I changed this setting to always stay on and the wifistatemachine wakelock has now disappeared and my battery drain is back to less than 1% per hour in standby. Maybe worth a try to see if this helps anyone else

Drain battery on Xperia SP

Helllo, I recently bought my Xperia SP. I really like this phone. I didn't have any problem (wifi). From the first time I bought my phone, I noticed that my battery is draining too fast. I loose every night about 20% battery. Data and wifi are closed and STAMINA mode is turned on. Do you have any solution about this problem? Sorry for my English and Thanks in advance!!

A few people have complained about this, but for me, with stamina on, standby battery life is superb.
Wakelock detector is available in the Play store - this is a useful tool for seeing what's happening to your phone when the screen is off. With WiFi and data on and the screen off, my phone is only awake 6% of the time and it's mostly Facebook (terrible app) doing things.
With the screen off I might only drop 1 or 2% whilst I'm asleep.

Switch to GSM only.
Besides that it seems that an enabled Google Now is leeching a lot of battery too.

Try to install BetterBatteryStats and make a dump. Then attach log file into this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). I hope developer can help you

Try looking in the sp forums for a solution or same thread. This sp forum is getting flooded with the same topic!

1. What ROM (stock?) do u use?
2. What firmware?
3. What baseband?
4. What kernel?
Give us a lil info about what u have in your hands :fingers-crossed:

Well now I unistalled facebook. I'm using stock rom with the latest firmware (.245), without root. I don't have enough apps. Only facebook/twitter and some games. I installed wakelock detector and i saw that facebook is doing the most battery usage.

me either, this sucks, i did a factory reset 2 days ago, at first it was fixed,
but then the wakelocks came back next day, it's the superstamina-xssm again, also with the most alarm

I'm using C5303 in latest firmware, no root, STAMINA mode off
my off screen battery consume only some internet connection apps if connected to Internet....
And if I sleep usually I will turn on airplane mode, so maybe whole only 1-2% of battery is been taken

I don't know what happening. my battery is draining so fast. With stamina mode on and everything ese closed I usually loose 15-20%!!! I disables Facebok app but nothing, Battery is still draining!

have you done any changes in the wifi setting stated in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378862
i have also made the changes and after that the battery drains like hell

No I didnt done any changes to wifi settings because I didn't have any problem with my Wifi!! I just clean cache on Eco Mode and I will see how battery is going!

i had peretty gud battery life , about 6-7 hrs of sot with wifi on all the day and lots of whatsapping . but now somehow suddenly stamina mod stopped working and getting lots of awake by whatsapp even it is greenified

Same problem here
Xperia SP battery backup is fine when i am using it. But when everything is off and stamina is on at night, i usually lose about 25% of my battery with cellular on overnight !!! But in airplane mode, stamina mode works fine. Only 0%-1% battery drain overnight. I didn't exclude anything in stamina mode. And i always keep my mobile data, wifi off when sleeping. I also checked battery stat but nothing is out of ordinary. But i think cell standby is consuming the power as everything is normal in airplane mode. But why do this happens to me when so many others are fine with cellular on? And the question is, how do i decrease the excess battery consumption by cellular mode when cellular mode is on and mobile data is off? It doesn't make any sense. Any solution for this weird problem? Help me please, this thing is driving me crazy. It takes more then an hour to charge 25% I am not rooted, bootloader locked, completely stock .205 and i have tried flashing and restoring via sus but nothing works. I even formated my internal memory and sd card I am using Xperia SP for about 10 months and stamina mode never worked for me :crying:

Alright i have sorted it out kinda... When um using settings -> GSM/WCDMA, the cell standby keeps draining battery. But when i select GSM only, the battery doesn't drain, lost only 2% over night with stamina on. But i ask this, how the hell am i supposed to use 3G data when the GSM only setting is selected ? Also another thing, the phone is intended for USA market(the customization is customized US). I bought it from Bangladesh and using in Bangladesh. Does this battery drain has to do anything with different Baseband version maybe ? I don't really know anything about baseband and stuff, just a guess. Anyone can help me in this matter ? Shall i flash an Generic INDIA rom ? Because Bangladesh is located besides India...

I have the same problem, maybe its a wrong baseband?

My question exactly. Look at my post (up). My XSP is made for usa market and i am using it in Bangladesh. Maybe that is what causing the battery drain when i use WCDMA/GSM and WCDMA only. But in GSM only, battery life is fine. Not even a single percent battery drain over night. Very huge difference. Now i am downloading a generic indian .ftf to check if it is because of different intended market or not... I will let you know as soon as i am done checking...

I think you can do it as soon as the both rom(4.1 and 4.3) are intended for the same market as the one you are using right now... Because they both will have the same baseband i think. But then, it would make no sense to flash the same baseband. I am not sure though. I am not a developer. You better check with some expert before messing around with baseband....

Yeah, im using an european modded rom on a latinamerican country. Will try New baseband as soon as i have some spare time

[Q][Resolved] Why does Xperia V battery last so much longer than T/TL?

In the year I've owned Xperia TL (LT30at), I've never been able to get a full day of use (12-14 hours) on one charge except for one week when I had to turn off the data connection (ran out of data allowance). I keep Stamina on at all times but BBS reports at least 3%/hr drain overnight. When the screen is on, the drain increases to 40-50%/hr and that's mostly on auto-brightness, which is minimal indoors.
At the same time, I see posts claiming that their V's are getting good 20 hours of total battery life, which includes 3-4 hours of screen time and minimal drain during inactivity. I understand that the V has a slightly smaller screen and 3G radio, but I can't fathom how that could account for such a difference in performance.
Can someone explain what differences I'm missing?

First things first. Have you compared your XTL's battery life with other XTL users? Or just maybe there are rogue apps sucking every bit of your phone's juice. Check with BBS or Gsam Battery Stats. And again, different people use their phones differently

Interesting. With my TL (lt30a Bell unit though - not AT&T unit), I would get a full day out of the battery, whether I was on stock PL 141 (JB), or the stock AT&T rom (which I think was also JB). Only thing I did on either rom was root/CWM/remove bloat apps manually.

BBS always says the biggest resource hog is bam_dmux_wakelock, which I think is related to wi-fi based location because it disappears when I turn off location. Overall, No. 1 and 2 battery suckers are Android System and Screen.

That 3-4% drain in standby has always been there regardless of the ROM. I recently tried a stock-based 4.3 ROM that was draining 10% in standby - that was clearly fixed by another one.

My standby drain with Stamina is about 3.5-4%/hour. Is that normal? Compared to the screenshots of XV I've seen around here, it doesn't seem right. On top of that, Stamina app keeps on telling that the phone should last for about 15 hours or 24 hours on standby.

As said before, that also depends on what apps you have installed, and how you've configured Stamina mode, but your bigger problem is your screen on time, 1 hour is nothing. So you should try to reflash the rom. But before you do that you could ckeck the battery, you can find out about your battery health at the service menu

LTE: On (of course, but mostly auto switches to the wifi)
NFC/GPS/WIFI: On
Bluetooth: On twice a day (when I use NFC smart tag in the car)
Brightness: Always Auto
Google account (sync always on)
Exchange account (for work emails, always on push)
WhatsApp and BBM accounts
I don't have any old screenshots of my batt. usage, but this was a usual day for my TL:
Unplug from charger at 8:30 a.m.
Glance at work email
Go to car, NFC tag to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth
30 mins later, NFC tag to turn ON wifi/turn off Bluetooth
Moderate use throughout the day: occasional whatsapp, bbm, texts. Work email if I'm not at desk, imgur 5 mins, instagram 5 mins, xda premium app for 5 mins (a couple of times a day).
Go to car, NFC tag to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth
30 mins later, NFC tag to turn ON wifi/turn off Bluetooth
At home, battery is likely at 55%. Nothing but occasional whatsapp/bbm/texts usually for the evening. By 11:30 p.m. it's pretty well dead at 15%.

Yes. Precisely. I don't understand how nearly identically hardware (the biggest 2 differences being LTE radio & slightly larger screen in XTL) result in half the running time off the same battery.

But dude, the problem is not on XTL in general. I think your phone has some hardware problem. Was the battery life with the previous firmwares (4.0 and 4.1.2) as bad as the recent build?

It has been like that all the time. I realized something was wrong when people started posting significant battery life improvements in 4.3 ROMs and mine stayed the same.

Is the V battery life sufficient for you guys? I've always thought it's a little bit of a stretch if I used it even moderately - I use my V as a hotspot for my Galaxy Note 8 most of the day, and it can barely survive until the afternoon.
That's one of the reason I have been debating getting a Galaxy Note 3 for the extended battery life.

It charges very slow.. I used to charge using my laptop USB.. I kept around 2 hours and charge increased only around 20%.. It was fast in Kitkat.

Oh. Im glad im not the only one facing this. Any solution or we may have to wait for a bugfix?

I tried with Both USA and TW Firmware.. Even tried after full reset.. Still same issue.. I think we have to wait for bug fix or any work around solution ..

I am using the US version, not rooted everything stock. When I installed I faced very heavy drain, even with a charger the battery was going down. After a few reboots everything is back to normal. Battery life is nearly identical to kitkat.
Attaching the screenshots, I am getting more than 4 hours SOT easily with wifi on all the time.

Pretty Impressive Battery life on LP

Battery problem on C5502 (stock 5.0.2 Customized TW fw)
Hey guys,
I think I might have a problem here, I did OTA update over 10.5.1.A.0.283, got 10.6.A.0.454. Everything seems to be working fine, the system is quite smooth, yet battery life is worse than it was!
Cell standby and the OS seem to be consuming way to much battery, my reception isn't perfect, yet I checked in Cell standby and signal loss is at 0%.
I do have STAMINA on, yet according to CPU Spy the phone never goes into Deep Sleep. Isn't that suspicious?
You'll find a few screenshots attached to this post to give you an idea what I'm talking about. I'll try to flash the full rom today and see if it helps, while I'm typing this message FlashTool is creating an FTF file so that I can flash it later. I'll keep you posted.
Also, if anybody needs the FTF file, here's the torrent file link:

I have similar problem. For me the biggest consumption comes from google play service and android system. Really annoying...

From my point of view, it totally depends whether you did an OTA update or flash the new ROM. In my case, I have the Deep Sleep state active for a lot of time, and here's the screenshot:

Did you make a factory reset before/after flashing? Most time this helps.

Think the scan location when wifi is off option (in wifi setting) has effect on the google play service.
Also I am testing what exactly that stamina clock option within stamnia setting does. It seems it affects the battery in a not necessarily good way.
This is annoying. Sony includes all these features that are basically rubbish...

Hi,
I installed lollipop onto my ZR via the PC Companion a week ago, and I used a clean install (repair). My battery life is very bad compared to kitkat. I don't use my phone often, mostly it is in standby mode with mobile data enabled and stamina mode enabled (I added a few applications to stamina mode white list: gmail, facebook messanger, etc.). With kit-kat I had to charge my phone every 3 day, but now I have to charge it every day!!! this is 3 times worse than kitkat. If I check under power management - battery usage, I see a few apps have several hours of 'mobile radio active' (mostly gmail, chrome).
I have searched for this on internet, it looks like it is an lollipop related issue and not a sony related issue. Lollipop has this issue since 6 months now , and they didn't do anything to fix this (there are tons of forums posts about this on reddit, and on other places). I have the feeling Android is getting worse in every new version, and Google hire the most ****tiest developers of all time. They don't even answer to the thousands of user complaints of this issue. I will never touch an android phone in the future.

Disable the stamina mode actually yields better battery life.

Just got my zr update to LP 2 day ago. For now seem like the battery life worse. Need to factory reset after this hopefully that help .

Did India LP update OTA two days back and was surprised see kit ain't charging fast and also discharging quickly. And the main battery consumption was by Album photo analyser services. .. have disabled it and seen significant difference. .
