[Q] Batter life

First off I can't spell battery............
I have an ATT Captivate that I have fixed by installing FF3 and Kernel 2.6.32.9 as a package from this site. My battery life isn't noticably worse than it was when it was the stock 2.2 but it still sucks. After 10 or 12 hours of very light use its down aound 15%. The battery use says it's hands down the display thats using the juice.
I was hoping (maybe wrongly so) that having the additional access to the phone I could somehow improve my battery life. I've tried the bump charge, recalibrate, CWR erase battery stats, etc. I also have 2 batteries for it (that probably tells you something right there) and both batteries behave the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Is there a launcher that I can use that's battey friendly? A different ROM?
It's a shame to have this phone to the state it is with a FF3 rom and faster than it was and not be able to use it all I want.
TIA, Jeff

Some things to help get the best battery life are:
Place screen brightness at lowest level both on web browser and on normal screen.
Switch to 2G when not needed for downloading/uploading data.
Turn off power saving mode under settings/display.
Use as few widgets as possible.
Manually retrieve emails rather than having them sent to you every 30 minutes or less.
In cwm there is a battery settings menu (can't remember what it is called) but you should enable that also.
These are some of the better ways to get better battery life out of your phone.

In 10-12 hours you only have 15% left on your phone? How much time is used for display? My phone can usually last a good 15-20 hrs with light to moderate use. As we all know display is the number one use for battery consumption. I've noticed I can go about 2 and half hours give or take on display before my battery gets kinda low.
As the previous poster has mentioned, screen brightness and data usually are the culprits for bad battery life. Try leaving your screen brightness on a low setting, and turning auto-brightness OFF. Disabling background data in "accounts and sync" setting is also a very good way to help with battery life. Also, making sure your GPS is OFF is another good way to save some juice.

Is there an application that will tell me this other than the about->battery ? Currently my info is limited to percentage of total battery useage and is showing that display is 96%.

Flashed ROM (FF3) while batt low?
I'm pretty sure the batt was not 100% when I flashed to FF3 and I did not clear everything out before either. If this is a potential problem with batt life can I fix this short of reflashing on a full batt?
Is going into CWR and restoring from a backup going to do the same thing as reflashing FF3 from the batteries perspective if I clear everything first?
TIA, Jeff

[Q] biig battery problem

My Z1is consumin battery too much it only take 3hours to get zero battery from full battery after upgrading to 4.4.2
As it was working so well before update and give the mobile consumption is more than charger provides ( original charger)
And the mobile on battery saver mode
And I can't find any solution for this problem

Hi,
Please can you post a picture of your Battery Usage status? It might be easier to help you with it . Also, with WiFi on and 45-60%> Screen Brightness my Z1 consumes more battery than charges, which is expected for a 5" screen phone with a very fast processor!

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

Mobile Network Standby high battery drain

Most of the time phone is in same location where network signal is 50%, but still idle battery drain is very high >10% overnight. Any suggestions to avoid high idle battery drain?
Also the graph attached is from 95% to 16% but the total sum of usage in battery -> show full device is 68%, where was other ~11% used?

I have the same problem ! Overall the X4 is one of the better phones I have used but the battery is the bummer in standby. Overnight drain is > 10%
Could anyone please suggest what to do? My device is stock unrooted. And, I want to keep it that way. At least for now.

Same issue

Question Short battery life

Hi everyone. I have owned this smartphone for 7 months. In the beginning everything was fine. The battery lasts a very short time. I checked different roms, there is no difference, the battery status says it is healthy. Checked by several methods. What could be the cause? SOT is only 3-4 hours and it was much more. Not enough for an average used day. Please help.

You said you checked on different roms so there's a possibility that the battery isn't displaying the correct percentage of the phone. If you experience phone turning off even if not on 0% or having the battery percentage stuck for a long time and then starts draining fast then it means your battery is not calibrated and you need to calibrate it to give the correct reading. As far as I know, no matter how many roms you change, no rom can calibrate battery as it is untouch when roms are being overlayed in the system. If battery calibration doesn't work then try restricting apps and forcing doze on your phone. Last option is to start considering a new battery replacement if you want.

One thing I found would drain the battery in a matter of hours is anything to do with the proximity sensors. Turning on pocket detection would literally cut my battery life in half. Lift to wake and always on display will also decrease battery life. While 120hz refresh is nice, it also shortens battery life. Dark themes on this phone will extend battery life. Amoled screens display black by not turning on the led pixels where black is supposed to be. Just my two pennies...

Yes especially double tap to wake and aod for me kills the battery super quickly. Im guessing it has to do with the miui firmware not properly turning off the sensors during deep sleep. Even a rom maintainer said that aod seems buggy too. Also another factor that drains battery is heat, and rn10pro is notorious for heating up quickly (literally few pics and went from 31C-38C). Frequent heating can cause permanent damage on battery and it'll surely decrease its capacity and lifespan.

Now it is good. Less 10%, sot is 1h. So I think 8h will be during the day. I noticed that the wake-ups had a continuous line now it is intermittent. I think everything is back to normal. Thank you all

Battery calibration pro 1.4 and wiping battery stats with lspeed

(Wiping battery stats is a myth as far as I know, it doesn't contain any persistent long-term data, it gets updated continuously.)

on a similar note, does anyone know why the "Battery usage-->Manage Battery usage" setting gets resetted to optimized from restricted all the time within a few days on A12? I'm witnessed this behaviour on all the A12 roms for sweet(currently on PixelOS) and have never found an answer nor a solution. Has it got anything to do with the automatic permission disable feature since A11? Anyone noticed this? Its frustrating to set that to restricted manually for every app every few days. Thanks!
