[Q] High battery drain: any suggestions? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings everyone!
I have a M7 with an Android HD Revolution 51.0 with LTE always on (of course switched to wi-fi when possible) and bluetooth (due to the Pebble).
I have a really huge battery drain issue: of course, I'm not willing the phone to last forever, not even 15 hrs with LTE and Bluetooth almost everytime on, but my M7 can't even last for 5 or 6 hrs.
I've also thought to return to stock but could that change the battery's life?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks! So, essentialy GSAM Battery Monitor says that there a 34% usage by the display (it usually is at these percentages) and a 70% used by "Kernel(Android OS)"

[Q] Battery life destroyed since 2.2.1 update?

Hi all
My non-rooted N1 is now suffering from poor battery life (hopefully will get to time it today but basically every morning it's dead) since upgrading to 2.2.1 OTA via O2 (UK).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour, or perhaps have a suggestion to diagnose/resolve? (not just standard battery optimisation stuff please).
Thanks
Mine seems about the same really.

Could be one of the apps you commonly use is having some issues with the new update and destroying your battery life.
You could try uninstalling a bunch of commonly run apps and see if that helps battery life.
Mine seems the same. Maybe your battery is old?
Just to be clear, battery was fine just before the update and now is awful. I've just taken it off charge to see how quickly it dies and i'll keep an eye on what's using the battery (if the about phone > battery stuff is accurate). Thanks
Okay so.. can't seem to do a screen shot (not rooted?) but here's what i've found so far..
From fully charged.. to 10% battery..
While last unplugged for 16h 3m 51s
Cell standby - 26%
Phone idle 24%
Display - 17%
Weather forecast - 7%
BatteryTime - 6%
wpa_supplicant - 6%
Wi-Fi - 6%
Android System - 5%
Android OS - 3%
Gmail - 2%

Does this look unusual to anyone? I'm sure in the past when i've checked this report the display was always the highest. I'm wondering if 2.2.1 update or an app is stopping the phone from sleeping or something?
Any advice welcome
Thanks
My favorite part is that the app Battery Time is responsible for 6% of your battery usage. Irony?
Also, your weather app is setup to sync too often if it's using 7%, IMHO.

You can check if any apps are keeping the phone up, get into the testing app (dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Battery history.
In there, change other usage to Partial wage usage.
Thanks Rusty. Had a look under partial wake usage and the only thing showing up anything really is 'android system', with about 20% on the bar graph.

4.2 seems to be more power hungry than previous versiond - try wiping battery stats (though that wouldn't help in all probability) and see if anything is preventing device from sleeping

One night I charged my phone up to 100% for about 2 hours. I then disconnected it at about 12am. The following morning it had dropped down to 29% I had absolutely everything turned off.
Why??

this wakelock seems to be the issue
any suggestions ?

Cm10.1 for me has better battery life than stock, from with a full charge in the morning though out the day I've made about an hour in phone calls played a few games. Its now 11pm for me and I'm still on 80%. Make sure you have data turned off while not using it and use the lowest screen brightness possible, those are main things that drain my battery.
I have installed better battery stats and cpu watch app and I'll charge it tonight and leave it overnight to see what's draining all the power
jb 4.2.x is a battery eater. on my old phone, the nexus s, 4.2.x performed really bad on battery life while 4.1.x was just great.

If your phone is in idle state for a long time, there will be no third party apps running, only android OS, in the background. So, even if you loose 1% battery during the idle state, that will be cause of android OS, that is how it works. So Unless you are getting extremely low battery life, there is nothing to worry.
For example, suppose you left your phone for two hours and it drained 5% battery and Android System drained 80% of it, that means, Android system is 80% responsible for the 5% battery your phone lost, that means 80% of 5%drain=4%drain.
This means, for two hours, to keep your phone in idle state, Android system used 4% of battery. that isn't bad now , is it ?

Since it is a new piece, give it a couple of charge cycles. once it stabilizes it will be good

[Q] Very poor battery

I just sideloaded 5.1 and I use Battery widget pro.
After 5.1 when I unplug my device this widget tells me I have 8 hours of battery left.
Even on 5.0 my battery seemed pretty poor but at least it would be at 12 to 14. I just don't get how it can be that bad.
Sometimes after turning it off then back on the battery level will adjust to something higher.
Is this possibly an app issue draining my battery? Anyone have any tips suggestions?
Best,
Ryan

Let it run for a day and see how much battery life you actually get. Maybe let it drain all the way out once and recharge it to 100%. I know when I ran custom ROMs on my Nexus devices, it would take a couple of days before the battery stats adjusted and displayed correct info. I once had a battery meter say 1% for about an hour before my phone died after switching to a new ROM.
How did it go? I noticed massive battery draining wakelocks on 5.1, related to phone and location. Without Xposed I don't know how to control them.
Cheers!

Are you using the version that came with your phone, or are you using something custom (i.e. CyanogenMod or Resurrection Remix)? Did you see what "supposedly" is the highest percent drainer under Settings->Battery?

Based on that, the only thing that I can think of is to turn down your display brightness (even try setting to auto if you haven't already) and if your cell service is often weak/non existent, then put it in airplane mode temporarily to turn off your cell radio (which will also kill calling and texting though). It also depends on just how fast your battery is draining. How much time are you getting with it on? How quickly is it draining (percentage wise per hour for example)?

It sounds like some of that is just the software then as well. Before I unlocked the bootloader and installed CyanogenMod on mine, I used to see it drain quite a bit faster (especially during standby when the screen was off). A big part of that was being able to change the CPU clock speeds (which I lowered on mine) and adjusting it to where many apps couldn't wake up the phone anymore. When doing heavy gaming though, it's pretty much always guaranteed to drain quickly.

I'm not saying the version you are using, but the actual stock software in general. It's definitely not optimized as well for battery life as it can be in a custom ROM and the bloatware doesn't help either. Using the phone for gaming will also take a hefty toll, regardless of what you are running.

Do you mean 10% per hour of screen on time or screen off time? If you lose only 10% for an hour of screen on, you probably get 8-10 hours of screen on time per charge. I only get less than 5.
battery draining MM droid turbo
Hi Friends; after updating to MM, my droid turbo seems to have a 2000mah battery...done wipe cache partition before and after the new MM, an hard rest but in stanby or in aiplane mode the battery sucks 10 points and more in a few hours...could you help me? Please...
p.s. idle 22% standby 22%...no gps, no bluetooth, no notification, just a few applications...
Hi Friends; since updating to MM, my droid turbo seems to have a 2000mah battery...done wipe cache partition before and after the new MM, an hard rest but in stanby or in aiplane mode the battery sucks 10 points and more in a few hours without doing anything...could you help me? Please...
p.s. idle 22% standby 22%...no gps, no bluetooth, no notification, just a few applications...I tried, after charging to 100%, leaving the phone for some days without doing anything (no wifi, no connection, no signal) and I was surprised to read such draining as in the screenshot.
Anyone can reply and help me? What's the difference between idle and standby? The phone has a stock firmware, never rooted
