Battery burning super fast?

Whilst I have been having the screen on, it shouldn't be burning this fast and it certainly didn't use to. 23 minutes on battery and 20% burned?

Did you install a new rom or new kernel? You can install an app like BetterBatteryStats to check out what might be causing this battery drain.

Stock ROM 4.0.4 and have never rooted or flashed anything on before. It is completely stock and unaltered in every way. All I've done is install apps. It just seems to have been a little bad recently. I have BetterBatteryStats on, but the it isn't wakelocks. As I said, I've got the screen on consistently so the phone will always be awake. It is just that 20% in that amount of time seems really high, even for constant use, and I swear it didn't use to be that bad. I've installed Juice Defender because it tends to be good in how it managers network and WiFi. So far, things seem to be stabilising. But, I still want to know what can cause such sharp drainage...

Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? This is most likely the cause. Brightness is a big issue also. Flash a kernal!

Check that you have Auto-brightness enabled. Also, I found that certain apps can drain battery big time. I agree with checking via a battery stats program. Maybe an APP is running in the background causing the cpu to stay at max speed?

Totally agree. Before I root my Note to delete some unuse apps from stock 4.0.4, the battery drains very fast. The most reason is some apps running in the background.

Did you change your sim recently? Sometimes the culprit is sim card.

Not fixes, but suggestions:
- An app like Green Power will stop data usage when screen off
- As others said, look into your display. My favourite app is Display Brightness as it adds an invisible slider on your screen
- For some reason, Chrome in the last week began to EAT my phone. I uninstalled it and I'm back to a blessed 1% an hour drain

Thanks for your link, really helpful for me:good:

You may have to check your battery. Will it be hot when you are using it? Look at your battery, does it look "fat"? It happened once to me before, after changing a new battery. It's fine now. It was caused by overcharging it during the night.

I experienced it on my previous phone, now im going to prove it again in my note because i changed my sim recently and now i cannot achieved the 5 hrs i had before that my original sim card, best phone can do now is 3.5 hrs. I try to contact my provider if they can restore my previous sim card and see what will happen, its just a suspect.

how can it be over charging. Doesnt it has built in function that cut-off power when charging complete. all modern chargers have that..
really would like to know cause i always charge the phone before going to sleep..

u r right..all modern chargers hv that..so, it will cut off the power when charging is complete..even I do put my Note for charging & go to sleep
So, dont worry..put your charger for charging & u can confidently go to sleep :good:

If you have network location checked and or GPS in /setting/location and security.
that's your suck battery problem.
Network location awake the phone constantly in accord with weather widget and lot apps in background that use this feature.

[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.

(Q) calibrate battery

Hi, maybe you can help me
Last two weeks I am having some problems behavior with my battery, after unplugging the phone from overnight charge the battery drains pretty fast, after 5 minutes goes from 100 to 97 or 95. Yesterday decided to reboot the phone when it was 92 but after that the phone reboot with 88 percent.
The day before I let the phone went to 6% and started to navigate and use some apps trying to reach 1% so I can plugged to the charger and see if the problem get solved but, after 30 minutes went from 6 to 4%
I don't know what to do
I am using battery stats since the problem started but I cannot see anything weird, also wakelock detector is going well
Any clues?
Thanks in advanced

So you are using an Xperia z.. This kind of problem is quite unseen in such a good smartphone.. Switch on your Sony pc companion and see if updates are available and if not try installing the stock firmware through pc companion.. It will show you repair your phone option... Try it.. In the meanwhile I will search if any other solution is available

Post logs, you guessing doesn't help your case. Something is eating the battery, thats a fact, Better Battery Stats will show what it is. So again: post logs.

Happened to me before,what i did is:
Charge your phone to 100%,unplug the charger and do a hard shutdown(volume up+power 15 seconds).
Keep it off and charge it offline till the battery animation shows full.
Unplug the charger and turn the phone on,you will notice it's not @ 100% so plug the charger again till 100% and done.
Long but good

Is not a guess is something I have been monitoring, I deleted the fast dormancy wakelock and somehow it helped but I was reading that sometimes you need to do something to calibrate the battery, any way, I will post the stats

Yes I am using a Xperia Z, I already did that, now I am in 307 and I am having this problem with this and old firmware, I also performed a restore of firmware, so my best guess is that my battery needs calibration

Here are my stats, nothing unusual in my opinion, what do you think?

Google services had short of 200 wakeups and system processes produced 300+ wakeups. That's already not so good for a starter. And there's the msm_hsic_host wakelock, which IIRC originates from the modem on the latest Qualcomm boards; they stupidly (?) chose to attach the modem via a usb interface which causes wakelocks, I believe.
Anyway, can you give me Better Battery Stats "Other", "Kernel wakelocks" and "Partial wakelocks" as well as "Alarms", please?

How long the "off" charge took with you, and what is the "full battery" animation?
Is it full green battery with the lightning bolt (something like on attached picture), or should it change to something different ?
Thanks in advance

Again the usb modem wakelock is there for 1h+ and 1h powermanager. Of 4h waketime you had 2h screentime.
I see AudioOut_2, appears often when having screen and ui feedback enabled. I'd suggest to disable all 4 options at the bottom at "Settings > Tones".
Do you live/work/be in an area with weak or no signal? I see 2h 44 no data connection. Could the phone be constantly searching for signal in that time?

[Q] Battery usage app?

Hello!
My battery usage is really sucks. I tried using "Battery monitor widget", but it shows me usage of 100mA average while sleeping!
Is there any app which supports HTC One?
Thanks!

Xperia Z DEad on battery work on cable. Solution?

Ill try to explain my problem in detail...
I have an unlocked bootloader Xperia Z
I flashed first 4.4 build to try the new kitkat android....
On these build i have incredible battery life but, obviously other kind of stability problem....
Then I reverted back to Monxified 4.2.2 rom, and I make a little mistake (flashing new rom with phone at 40% battery with cable plugged in.....
After this i start experiencing bad battery life and suddently shut down at 30-40% battery level....
I tried various full charge (even with phone shuttend down) and long time charging even after the battery indicator is full......
Nothing changed and situation get worse with phone shutting down at 60%...
After this i tried move to 4.4.2 beanstalk.....
It seems to work a little better but again phone suddently shut down during usage and start to be unable to go after boot logo (before bootanimation)
If I power on phone i see the kernel logo and when boot animation must came in phone simply shut down.....(it doesn't reboot or go in bootloop it shut down and I have to push the power button to see the same crap)
With power cable plugged in phone work without problem, but even after startup if I remove cable phone shut down after 30sec-1 min....
BUT, and this is the strange one...
If I boot in recovery i can do what i want....even withoud external power in recovery i can use phone for 30 minutes adn over without shutdown...i can flash rom and other stuff and my Xperia Z doesn't turn off....
I'ave also tried to flash a completely stock FTF with sony official kernel (4.2.2 and 4.3 versions) but nothing chage....
Leaving aside recovery...every rom i flash simply can't go after kernel logo without external power
,

I often flash new roms with cable plugged in... So, you have already done a full wipe, so try to use the battery calibration app, maybe the battery stats are corrupted.

Omg i can't believe people still try that rubbish that app does absolutely nothing as every time the phone is shut down and restarted it creates a fresh battery stats file every time.

Indeed. The option to delete batterystats.bin was removed from most custom recoveries long ago as it does nothing.

Confirm its battery issue. I opened the back cover,unplug the battery,connect phone to wallcharger and same.shutdown after sony logo. So i force the battery to charge using my old modified charger and connect to the battery terminal,wait for 10 minutes and reconnect to phone.and its reboot

Thanks so much for this information, my phone was having exactly the same issue. It's awfully hard to find this thread among all the other "battery dead" xperia z posts. I'm going to buy another phone battery from eBay now.

Have you guys even tried flashing stock firmware using seus? The OP only states he tried other roms but not stock.

Yes. Already flash using emma. Same problem persist.
