Which rom are you using?
Also I'd say you can give Deep Sleep Battery Saver (DS Battery) a try, in LPZ it really extended my battery, but in LQ4 I didn't think it was necessary.

I enter here ti recommend DS batery. Came late haha.
You can also set only GSM mode, if you do not care about live without 3G like me.
Without root u do not have so many options, remove facebook app and installing app 'fast for facebook' is a good one.

Root is a must if u really want to get the most out of your phone.... now that we have Binary Counter Reset (app)... what are you worried about?!
1. Use Power Saving mode before you go to sleep... when you wake up just disable it
2. Increase Deep Sleep state... codes are on CoCafe's kernel's thread... (CoCore E 2.8)
3. Use the app Battery Widget Reborn.... go the last page/tab... setup Auto Night Mode....
4. Change governors to Hotplug, Powersave or Conservative....
5. Disable Background Sync
6. Disable Live or bright wallpapers...
These are a few I remember
PS: I Seriously typed this all.. I did not Copy/Paste... I think I deserve a thanks!

actually, there's not too much room to play around if you're not rooted
you can also try llama or other profiling stuff to automate enabling/disabling things when you need them, ie. like bluetooth: having it on all the day can consume lots of battery, but you can create an event that enables bt when you're answering the call. then to disable bt when you leave your car or sth like that. just an example - depends on you
ofc 2G saves battery, too. and you can't automate it to 3G while using data unless we get CM but still, you can create profile like enabling sync for 60 secs every 20 minutes, so that it drains less battery that being constantly synced
if you're not rooted, then you can't use kernels that incorporate multi-core aware governors like hotplug or pegasusq as stock roms do have only the basic ones and you can't change them unless you've got root
again, I strongly encourage you to root your phone. otherwise there aren't many possibilities left

Like my expert android friend said - phone without Root is like 50% scrap metal phone, after rooted use Cocore kernel just simple set Governor = Pegasusq+SIO my phone just use 0%-1% when i wake up bed in morning & light usage(less 3G ,wifi online facebook,wechat,calling) i can use about 2 days... No need to set GSM only & install battery boost apps..... Just with Good kernel & good custom ROM enough... :victory:

darker screen = less power consumption (thanks to AMOLED)
disable unused syncs like picasa, dropbox ...
avoid using services running in background like poweramps phone jack sensing
DONT USE FACEBOOK APP
turn wifi off if your not using it

agree! facebook app is a *****! fc's a LOT of times, making the phone hang repeatedly!drinks battery too!

AW: (Q) how to boost battery life
For me, my battery doesn't care if Facebook is installed or not. just disable notifications and set updating to manually and you're doing good.
When using wi-fi disable mobile data. (In previous firmwares it had more power consumption than mobile data but with lq4 it has less, weird)

If you live in area where 3g network signal is weak or your home walls are fat :
-you got to manually switch to 2g, it could double your battery life... Unfortunately there is no app that can switch this, but only ones that shortcut to Settings>more settings>mobile network>GSM ONLY
1.)When I'm at home, i use wifi + gsm only (weak 3g),
2.)when i get outside on the streets or to the university i switch back to auto and turn off wifi
3.)When I travel between cities i switch to gsm only also

I cant use it more than 8-9 hs.. Its anything wrong here?:

You may also install Battery Stats Plus to find out about potentially battery draining apps. i think its a very cool app which provides you a lot of information about your battery and about consuming apps. You can set it up to notify you if it means an app is draining your battery. I dont do so but i think its a cool feature

I have downloaded battery booster it really helped

Search for Triangle Away here, on XDA.

To save battery better to not use any battery booster or any ram increaser its no use instead you should install less app and games cause it use background process restarts automatically even if it is not in use turn off gps :beer: and turn off data at night when it is not in use use brightness level at modrate

xperia z battery issues

Hi all
I'm new to android and am having some major issues with my Sony New xperia z.
First off stamina mode is simply not working. It did to start but it's now not changing the expected battery life when toggled on and off. That's just the start though.
Battery life had been absolutely terrible. I have been deliberately stopping myself from using the handset just so I can make it through the day.
I have come from an iPhone 4 and am quite a heavy user normally, my battery always lasted well beyond one day. New I know the screen and processor on this are awesome but I'm literally not going to be able to use any apps or anything if this is the true battery life.:crying:
I noticed that android os was taking the majority of my battery for just if today, screen has since taken over since I got in because I've been searching the net for potential answers.
Android services is up there as well. I installed a battery checker to see if my phone is but going into deep sleep for some reason and found that there had been something like 3000 wakelocks since last charge (unplugged this morning). I'm now down to 3% after about 13.5 hours since unplugged.
Screenshot was from before I started writing this post.
Any help please. If this isn't some sort of bug/fixable errorI might have to see about returning this phone!
Is this amount of wake locks normal? How can I tell what's stopping my phone from sleeping? I'm new to android other than my nexus 7 which had always been amazing in terms of battery.
Thanks all
John

Try a factory reset or wait for a firmware update.

Factory reset once and fixed the stamina mode issue temporarily but nothing else and stamina issue came back within a few hours. Uh oh battery now 1%
Not wanting to have to reinstall all apps again forma second time. Any other tips? Any way to check what's keeping it from sleeping?

Are you using gsam battery app??
It has all the battery info needed.
Try not to use stamina mode.

I have downloaded gsam - its how I knew there were over 3000 wakelocks but to be honest I've found it all a bit baffling. I'm pretty sure something's happening in the background when it shouldn't be but its like trying to find a needle in a haystack - I'm not sure what processes are what, and what parts of the system should be doing certain things anyway... Does that make sense?
Its dead now, so using my nexus 7 instead. I'll charge tonight, use as normal and monitor it tomorrow. Is there anything I could post from gsam up here that you genius's could help me out with? I bow to your mightier wisdom and plead for help!!! I love my new handset but this is leaving a real sour taste and my excitement and joy of leaving iOS behind me is waning!
Should I use it without stamina mode tomorrow and see if that improved things? Or should I use it as I did today?!
Thanks again everyone for your help.

Maybe you can upload app usage screen and kernel wakelocks.
Reboot ur phone 2 3 times ant Try it tomorrow without stamina mode

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK

Did you do a full wipe after the update?

Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.

Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.

I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Third one appears when low battery for extra savings. Second one I don't have a clue now. I normally have two icons.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.

I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

I have thought the same today to have FB on browser rather than app. It is strange I have tweaked FB app a lot like refresh only 4 hours, no notifications left on but app still awakening mad. Now only FB bothers me other apps behave well and I get pretty good battery consumption.

I am using ARHD 21.0 and it's got 4.3 in it. Android system reports it's taking up like 50 Percent of my battery but I still get more time out of my phone than I did when I was on 4.2.2.

Ouch. Not here. Getting 20+ hours on each charge. Have you rebooted? Sometimes a reboot helps clear up memory just like on a PC. Have you installed anything recently before the issues started?

Yes I have rebooted. Have not installed anything outside of playstore apps..hmmm I did install adobe flashplayer??

Haven't had problems with screen freezing, but I was getting some pretty subpar battery life.
It may be counter-intuitive but my battery life has Drastically improved by turning off power saver. I don't know if the throttle up/down on cpu and brightness is too aggressive and does more harm than good or what but this was the major offender for me. My battery went from ~10 hours to ~20+ on normal usage.
Some other things I did that netted a gain before turning off power saver.
Change Settings/Wifi/Advanced/Keep Wifi on During Sleep from always to only when plugged in.
Freeze app/task for S-Search
Freeze S-Voice
Turn off settings / controls / motions
Turn off settings / controls / air gesture
Turn off settings / controls/ smartscreen

Hey thanks for all the info. Will try all that u suggested

HD+ battery drained 40% overnight

My wife's Nook running 10.2.1 went from about 55% to 14% charge overnight last night. It was in sleep mode and WiFi was off. Normally it would lose 2-3% in that length of time. Usage was mostly Google Play services and Android OS. What would Play Services be doing while the tablet was asleep?

Play Auto updating? Just a thought. Most of the time I've found excessive battery drain attributable to some app's hidden agenda.

WiFi is off (supposedly) when it's sleeping so that shouldn't be happening. Even so, I wouldn't expect apps auto-updating to take the battery down 40%.

Possibly an app goin crazy during a wakelock, which allows an app to do stuff while the phone is asleep.http://manojprasaddevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-is-wakelock.html
There are sleep related bugs sometimes as well in the roms, but since its been out a long time now, probably isn't that.
Not sure what else.
