I bet that you had screen on for like 3,5h while that graph was taken.
Normal thing it is taking that much

Well, it is screen, i dont see anything wrong with the usage, actually i think its kinda good usage for the screen, but you have to tell us the screen use time, and the brightness, otherwise its looking fine with me.

thanks friends ...screen usage is 3h 48min and i have brightness low ...but i think screen 70-80% is too much ...or is normal???

You are clearly not using heavy usage apps, like facebook, whats app, viber, twitter, and so on, apps with internet usage drain more battery, browsing internet will drain battery faster, so i you used ONLY screen you will end up only 70% on screen, but with more apps to drain you'll drain the battery faster and you'll find screen usage lower, however i still find the battery graph normal.

You may be right ...thanks :good:

Has anyone tried that app? I installed it this morning, and For me its drastically improving battery life. Usually, my battery would be dead by now, but i still have 60% left!
Didnt impaired any functions afaik. My twitter and whatsapp and wordfeud still sync in background.
For clarification, that's 14 hours of mid to high usage, with only 40% battery gone! Never had such great battery life

The most it does is lower the brightness of your display which you can do your self, oh and if you cant turn off wifi your self when your not using it there is something wrong with you.

Didnt do nothing with my brightness, because it already was on auto. And my wifi sleep police is still set to never. I didnt change anything in the phone. Only installed one app, and battery life drastically improved explain that o.0

Well that's what it does and those are the two main drains of the battery so if you already do both those thong then this isn't doing anything for you.....its all in your head...maybe your using it less, sorry to break it to you but there is no magic app that stops your hardware from using power.

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?

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] Battery Life on S3 Mini?

Hello guys..
I am a GNote 2 user, but i'm planning to buy a smartphone for my girlfriend and in this case, i think s3 mini is quite a good phone..
what i am asking here is, how's the battery life on s3 mini? with my note 2, i can get around 24 hours with email, twitter, facebook, and another social network app syncing every time and a lil bit gaming of course.. For the s3 mini, how long does it last in average? Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Mine lasts for 30hrs with wifi and mobile data always on, a bit of gaming, alot of messaging,few calls, browsing and so on... Great battery life all in all...

30hrs with that usage?! That with Stock battery?
Considering the SIIIMini has a 1500mah battery and the Note2 has a 3100mah...
Like all the smart phones i had before. Play around with the phone all day and charge in the evening. I

My stock battery gets 14 hours on everyday use!
Do you turn your phone off at night?
Nope

GSM Arena says the battery strength on this likely related to Jelly Bean optimisations. They say other Jelly Bean phones they've tested perform REALLY well battery-wise. Other phones with bigger batteries on older software die long beforehand. You can see the battery test for this phone here: http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-ga...hes-our-battery-tests-the-results-are-inside/
Hours, minutes:
Calls, 6.22
Web, 7.38
Video, 7.46
I'm surprised that your phones can take it that long with gaming/browsing like that.. mine normally gets through the day, with +-5% to spare..
- charges by night, till 7A.M.
- overday average usage: 25 texts, 15-30min talking, 20min gaming, 20min doing other stuff
- wifi/mobile data/sync/bluetooth are always on
- going to bed at 1A.M., so 18h of working time.
Guess I could optimize by disabling that wifi etc.. Also tried some power savers:
- juice defender didn't do a thing at first sight :/ (free edition)
- easy power blabla was buggy & gave black screens
- go power master really helps, managed to get through 2 days actually.. however, the screen transitions were quite slow. I don't know yet what settings I used, reinstalled it today & at first glance it doesn't help that much anymore.. (transitions are smooth again though)
Any other tips on power saving are also welcome
You should see the battery life on the MyTouch 4G Slide. You're lucky to get four hours on standby with it.
Mine battery is about 6-7hrs
I turned on power saving and brightness was about 50%
I use a lot of fb messenger an chrome ,little bit of music,and xda app ,3g was on all the time ,wifi was turned off ,2 app runing in bckground weather and antivieus aand i think thats all

I used to get almost 2 days out of it until I put the latest version of Faria's rom on it. Now I get a days usage. Grrrr. Somehow I'm losing 24% of battery life while my phone is sitting in standby (unused) with screen off for 9 hours.
Here is my battery usage..

only 30 hrs on flight mode ???
I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and then traveled for work outside network coverage area so i put it in flight mode and the battery lasts for max 30-32 hrs with no more than 30 min of light games like solitaire per day.
Any advice ?

Bad Battery performance on my OB.

Hey folks! I have recently started observing that my phone is consumimg excessive battery. I really cant seem to understand the cause, but for sure, I know there is an issue unknown to me. As I can see and observe, the situations I've faced are as follows:
1. When fully charged and unplugged, usage on wi-fi, screen on and some music leads to empty battery in almost 2 hours sharp.
2. When fully charged and unplugged, wi-fi off, sync off, GPS off, data off and literally everything off including the screen, then from 100% charge to 25% charge in 8 hours.
3. When I use the phone, as mentioned in point 1, suppose the phone discharges from 100% to say 60% in 40 minutes, the thing I do is turn the screen off. Then as soon as I do this, the battery level rises up until I turn the screen on again. Funny! :/ xD
4. Now the final case is this. When I turn of the phone at suppose 20%( probably unreal charge stats), connect it to a charger, and then while connected, switch on the phone, the phone gets charged up to like 50% or so. Epic fail!
5. Oh I almost forgot, battery usage charts show Android OS consuming 40-85% of the charge at all times in which the wakelock stats are an alarming 3-4 hours as per the 2nd point. Screen consumes 30% of the charge and Android System follows
I am posting my battery usage screenshots here.
1. The first screenshot was the one before I rebooted at 20% charge. Look at the roller coaster battery stats. XD
2. The second screenshot is the one showing all the stupid processes consuming excess battery.
3. Observe the difference towards the extreme right of the third screenshot and the first one. The third screenshot was the one after I rebooted. There is a long white line at the right end of the third one which shows the rise of battery charge from 20% to 56% precisely. Bloody hell!!
:/
Kindly, anyone who feel that they can help, look into this matter and suggest me good options to follow.

Two more screenshots!
Just look at the time at which each screenshot was taken and compare the stats Yourself. This **** is freaking me out each day.
LOL and the charge was at 19% at 00:33. At 56% at 00:39 and now at 82% at 01:15. Highly quick charge and discharge. what do I do?

Umm the screenshots are from the Xperian UI ROM. I dont know which kernel it is, but the screenshot here can help You maybe. But but but, I faced the same problem of excessive battery drain even on the official 2.3 ROM of LG. Every ROM is having the same effect more or less.

I think ths is because of the xperia apps. I remember when i used optimusZ by eminent. The drain was high, even when i removed it. Check your wakes with betterbatterystats
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Well You are right about Xperia apps. The Facebook inside Xperia extensions suck up the battery. But that is just a part of the story for me. I've been having the same amount of consumption in almost all the ROMS I've tried so far.

Battery intense drain on KitKat!!!!

Hi all..... My phone is suffering from intense battery drain on any KitKat rom I put it on..... KitKat is faster than the stock ones.... But the battery drop is literally a straight line.... I'll upload the stats here for you all to see..... I'm kind of keen on staying on KitKat..... So of there is any way that can happen with a proper battery life.... I'm all for it..... Thank you!!!

Typical symptoms. Buy a new one.
Um..... A new battery right? I have one...... I'll try it and see how it goes
Weirdly though, the battery drop isn't noticeable on stock ROMs..... why would that be?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe you have some major wakelocks going on, but I don't see the phone being awake all the time..
You could always try disabling sync, sync in apps such as facebook, disable GPS, remove the Google+ app.
Do that and see if the issue persists. I'd say it's a dead battery, but the confusing thing is that it doesn't happen when you're on stock ROMs, like you said.

Check Settings -> Battery and see what's actually using your battery.
Install BetterBatteryStats (you can find it here on xda) and use that to pinpoint the problem.
