today i used it for about 20 minutes at once on the internet and music on 3g.
-from 6am to 7pm 25% with about 30mins of total use??!!!

No, not normal. I get home with like 55-60% battery left with
12 hours standby
1-1.5 hours calls
1-1.5 hours with activities that keep screen on like texting, mails, etc
i am on the ROM in my signature.
ok is there anyway to get reduce the battery drain without changing roms if not whats the best rom for battery life??

Try using a kernel that supports UV and setting slightly reduced voltages. I am using GB's 1280 kernel, and capped the speed at 1000. And reduced the voltages slightly.
Others would be normal things like switching to EDGE, lowering brightness levels, setting wifi to "turn off when screen off", etc.
what does UV mean sorry im a newb :/ and how do u install a different kernel

UV = Under volting
1. Load the kernel in my signature (attached to this post)
2. Install the voltage control app (attached to this post)
3. Start the voltage app and set the voltages and cap at the levels based on the pic in this thread.
WARNING: Voltage levels depend on phone to phone. I would suggest starting from low values. Take off 50 from the values I have posted in the pic and use them. If u feel it is ok, then add another 25. Take it slowly checking if the reduced voltages are freezing up ur phone.
I would recommend u starting with these values: 75 75 50 25 25 0 from bottom to top.
Ok thanks diablo I will test this out tomorrow and report back

Sounds like a good old battery recalibrate is in order:
1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%
2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.
6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.
I did this a couple days ago, plus wiped stats, and as of right now, I am showing 20% after 30 hours. No joke.
Running Cognition 3.04,
juice defender is amazing!! it helped my battery so much!!! thanks a lot!!!
Try searching google / this forum for a post of resetting battery stats, i need to do that also since my battery life isnt all that good either, especially how im running 3.04 cog and everyone says batt. life is amazing. SO if anyone can link to battery reset post that would be amazing.

Ironically, JuiceDefender killed my phone *much* faster than with me manually enabling and disabling my data connection.
IMO, JuiceDefender does nothing that you can't do yourself, the problem is, is that it constantly has to check apps to see if any are enabled to toggle your data connection.
I am just saying

I actually use my phone and I am getting these results
I have a very similar question. My problem is, on custom roms (I've tried Assonance, Serendipity, and another), my battery drains 1%/hour. This is even after a fresh install; nothing is running in the background. When I look into my battery info, it says wifi is doing the draining. I keep hearing people saying their battery life is amazing after flashing custom roms, but I'm getting the complete opposite. Am I forgetting something?
Without custom roms or anything, and using a rooted/lag-fixed (not sure this makes any diff anyway) setup, I lose somewhere between 2-3% battery per hour on standby. I don't even use juicedefender. I really love what they're doing with these custom roms, but the wifi on standby just rapes my battery.

+1 why have an app probe for stuff that u can do for urself. Little things like remembering to turn off wifi when not in wifi zone would help u extend ur battery.

Set wifi sleep policy to off while screen is off
i dnt even use wifi and after 5hrs of use my battery is at 74% which is good enough for me but i wouldnt mind 1 day+ of battery life... how do u do this??
Hello,
i have a bad problem with my LG starting from day one when i bought it. I tried many things now, to no avail.
The problem is that sometimes my battery falls from high percent value to 0 just in one second. then the mobile goes out and i have to charge it, even it was nearly full some minutes ago.
Another problem is a warm mobile in standby mode when i have mobile inet active, and battery wont last longer than 4 hours. With WIFI it doesnt get warm but starts to decerase RAM until the mobile is unusable (timeouts, freezes, ect)
So there are 3 problems, i think related together somehow:
1. sudden Akku drainage, falling from high percent value to zero
2. fast akku drainage with mobile inet on, doesnt fall from #to zero, but get used up very fast
3. Unusable mobile due to RAM issues when WIFI activated.
Here are following some pics and a Log attached from Android Stats. Here you can see starting at 9.34 the bettery recalculations, in very short timeframes.
Can someone see any issues from the log what could be the problem?
The situation was like this: I recharged yesterday evening, and turned mobile inet on. Then i went to sleep. In the morning i saw that i had no connection to google servers (icons white instead on green) but i saw the battery was only drained 2% over night so i thought not bad.
I reactivated internet (mobile) in hope to get conn to google servers. Well, i got it but in same time the battery got drained from 98% to just 40% in one second. Since then the mobile stays warm. I have auto sync deactivated.

I forgot:
Android 2.3.4 original, rooted but nothing changed on firmware/rom/baseband/anything
So i inserted screens now.
you have some kind of background application that doesnt let your phone enter deep sleep mode to lower cpu frequency and conserve battery (phone is awake when screen is not on, you can see the activity in the pictures). you should check what app is using most of the CPU time, it might not be code optimized and might be sucking too much of the battery.
also, it might help resetting the battery stats, search a bit and find some info on that (short version, charge it to 100%, let it for another hour plugged in, go in CM, delete battery stats, restart).
worst case scenario, your battery is busted and a replacement might be needed. hope that helps.
andrei.je said:
just a hint : most battery consumption can be checked in the battery stats, on the activity graph : awake vs screen on - if awake and screen on are not synced in the activity graph (should have same lines) then you have a problem. meaning when your phone has its screen off it should go into deep sleep mode (lower cpu frequency) but if you the phone is awake while screen is off, you have an application installed that won't let your phone sleep and just keeps using the cpu and sucking the battery.
this is mostly applied to standby battery life, if you are playing a game/watching a movie, doesn't really matter screen is on, cpu/gpu is sucking the battery.
my worst battery life while i had the O2X was about 16h, but that's with normal phone use (no games - you can have a psp for that, no music - you can have an ipod for that), mostly emails, browsing, IMs, calls/texts all day long also best battery life was 2d 10h (mostly on standby)

Thanks for also answering my post on the other topic.
It may be that theres an app that keep our phone from sleep, but even with this app, when i dont turn on wifi or mobile internet, the mobile runs 6 days straight. This is no joke, offline it could hold 6 days, i have a screen of where it looses 8% in 28 hours. And as you can see on my screen, it happens from one second to the other.
I already changed the phone the third time now, even with very few installed apps, this remains. I had it first time on day one when bought th mobile. Since then in all 3 mobiles maybe 15 times.
Anyway, it bothered me, but not as much as that the phone went nearly unusable with internet active. Always at 50 mb ram. So it was basically an offline only phone. In my 2 tests, both 5 days without internet, the mobile neither went slow, nor went off, nor lost battry, nor anything. Very fast LG OS. Until internet...
Anyway, now i installed Chuck Norris CM /MIUI ROM, lets see what happens. Until now its so smooth and soft, it feels like a complete other mobile. Also with wifi active... but i cannot say anything until tomorrow.
I tested already a lot of System Analyzer apps but theres really not much to see. Nothing seem to use much battery in whole. At least nothing that explains a loss of 70% in 5 seconds.
I posted a log here, thats the best thing to see i guess, but i cannot really read it well :-(
Anyway, your help is appreciated

I think the problem is caused by the battery stat file. Avoiding the techinical causes you should only charge the phone untill 100% and using battery calibration (you can donwload it for free from market) calibrate the battery! Hope to be helpful ^_*

Hello !
I just bought my P880 two days ago and everything is great except one thing: battery drain. It is not occouring in background when phone is in Deep sleep, it doesn't lose charge while it's sleeping, but when I just unlock it/start using it, it just starts draining.
I have rooted it, and unrooted using SuperSU. The thing is I haven't experienced that kind of drain yesterday, it was working fine except drain caused by bad signal (badly inserted SIM).
Usage by Android System is at 50% over 5 hours, Screen is at 9%. Awake graphs are the same as Screen on graphs- no wakelocks.
I have these apps installed:
Prey Anti Theft
Skype (not running)
Adobe Reader
SoundHound
Disco Light
QR Droid
Sygic (not running)
X-plore
SwiftKey 3 keyboard
WiFi, GPS, Data, everything turned off except mobile signal
Running Internation version with Android 4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4-00001-g0f9182c
Mobile network type is EDGE:2 with mobile signal -70dBm
I'm first time android user and this is my first problem so I tried to include as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance
I see 2 mayor issues, first is the android deft app, it may be running and trying to sync but bcz the data is off it will try to connect foreva.
Also, edge is (in other words) ROAMING and this forces the antenna to use more power to get signal from another provider, it get worst if you have a phone with sim card.

Thanks for pointing that out, but I have disabled every sync and I have set phone to 2G mode only, the reason is that UMTS signal was low and was draining battery even more.
I am only losing sharge when just doing random things on phone, even if that means only adding/removing widgets/apps on main screen with WiFi off.
Then you must try the Deodexed version of v10f, removing the bloatware with the script in the same thread.
The issue may be some lg apps that are running in the background so doing this will have 6 hours in standby time with 100% still, like me (if I turn all radios off ).
I have just woken up, while sleeping (9h) phone was awake for about 50%, no wakelocks but there were 30 alarms from Android/Google maps ans 29 alarms from com.google.android.gsf
Hope this helps.
I may try custom ROMs if nothing else works.
While typing this message I have lost 7%.
Similar state here as the OP. Got the phone two days ago.
All is good, it rooted OK, Directory Bind works fine, phone runs like hell (about 10 times faster than my old Galaxy S) BUT it drains battery like a genuine power guzzler.
Ok I get that according to the performance you get, it comes with an accordingly high power draw, so I don't ***** about it, I just want to know if this is normal. I mean I played 2 hours and 15 minutes of Sprinkle and the battery died, starting from a full charge. Screen was set at 50%.
GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, no 3G mobile network and screen is at 50% brightness as I said. There's an NFC icon on the notification bar next to the battery icon, which I am not sure if it should be there.
Here are a couple of shots from the battery section of the phone and from Battery monitor widget if these help.

Please note that as the OP said, the phone consumes nearly nothing when idling. Firmware is 10f.
PS I am not trying to hijack the OP's thread. I just noticed the same behavior and I'd like some help on the same matter, as well as to contribute in whatever way I can. If the OP is offended somehow, I will gladly start a new thread.
@psolord No, not offended at all. I'm glad you posted actually.
My phone has encountered 20 more Alarms, wake ups since I left it standing:
com.google.android.apps.maps Wakeups: 50
com.google.android.gsf Wakeups: 45
You can see pictures below, the drop on the second picture happened when I was writing me previous post from P880.
- I am also rooted again (after factory restore)
- I have reenabled 3G networks but the signal is only at about 50%.
Any additional info please ?
Ok buddy, so we can keep discussing it here together.
For the matter at hand, I see the same behavior, when I unlock the screen, it's like I have opened a whole in the battery.
It dropped from 85% to 65% just from downloading a new map (500MB, 20min download on a slow wifi) from Sygic downloader. I mean this can't be right, right?
I also checked cpu spy and it reports the system 75% at deep idle, 15% at 51Mhz and the rest are 0% to 1% up to 1500Mhz. So if the cpu has so little operation, what on earth is draining the battery?
I wonder if we could be looking at a bad battery batch.
Is there an app that reports exactly what activity consumes power and how much?
Indeed, the hole in the battery.
I even restored to factory from recovery mode since I screwed up the root, so it was just stock, but guess what, nothing has changed :crying:
I really hope this can get fixed, else I'll get a replacement.
I hope someone from this forum with more experience can help :/
I think I am onto something.
Can you please check how is the phone doing if you disable everything under location and services?

I am going to try this, I am also talking to LG Support right now. WIll let you know when I get more information.
I disabled everything, and I didn't see pretty much any improvement. LG Support suggested me to return the phone.
Pretty much draining the battery atm so I can charge it back to 100% and use something like Battery Calibration. Maybe it can change something.
Yeah indeed I was onto nothing. Nothing changed for me either.
Playing 30mins of a 720P resulted my battery dropping from 62% to 50%. I also used the gps for the first time with Sygic (Jesus even the GPS is lightning fast) and the battery went from 50% to 30% for a 20 minute ride. It seems that my phone cannot give me more than 2 hours of use. That's just silly.
BTW do you or anybody, know of an app that can show battery usage per app?

Stock application ?
Also you can use Better Battery Stats to see if there are any wakelocks or anything is waking up the phone etc.
What is happening right now is rather strange, I disabled screen turning off (trying to drain battery to 1%/2%) looking at stock battery app, it seems to be stuck at 21% and it's not changing.
The stock application does not do so much analysis, but the batterystats you used above seems more like it.
I am getting panicked and I miss some stuff haha. Ok lets cool.
It makes me sad that we don't get any input from the community. Something like "yeah this is normal, live with it" or "your phone is faulty, take it back to the shop for a replacement" or something.
Agreed, ANY, ANY kind of input would be appreciated, but I guess we are getting none.
I am going to fully charge it today, do some stuff and report back tommorow. Also anyone, please do post any suggestion you may have.

Maybe this has to do something with the built in power saver. Maybe it kicks in when the battery drops to the 20s and stops whatever is draining it.
I am thinking trying some battery saver to see if it does the same thing but from the beginning of the full charge.

Actually I have disabled it when it asked me if it should turn on. So I guess nothing to do with that.
I am going to backup now, fully unroot and somehow get it to pure stock. Than I'm probably going to exchange the phone in case battery life doesn't change.
hi all , before I continue I would like to let you know that I have read a lot about the issue I'm expiriencing. I'm also not the complete noob in the area and know some stuff about Android.
Here is the story :
I have a Sony Z3C which I used almost 2+ years without any issues . I like the phone a lot , especially I liked the battery strenght , which was able to last at least 2 days. ( i'm not using battery consuming apps a lot - games, facebook , etc. ).
Suddently the battery started to drain fast, even if the phone was idle. I didnt change the way I used the phone . I realized that if I leave the phone at 100% before I go to bed , at the morning it is at around 50-60% .
Then I thought , the battery is probably dead , I used the phone 2+ years already. I thought that I can do a factory reset before I replace it . So I did it , the situation was the same . I thought that some app upgrade is bad and is probably consumin, so after the reset I didnt install anything and tested without any additional apps or GApps upgrades . The behaviour was the same. Then I repalced the battery with a new , original one...
The new one behaved exactly the same way like the old one . Then I did a complete wipe using TWRP and installed a newly downloaded image of MM . Behaviour was the same . The I rooted my phone and installed a Mobile radio active fix from Gplay , which I thought might be the cause - didnt go better ... Then I have reset my battery stats by following the battery cache wipe instructions . I charget my phone at 100% i deleted the batterystats.bin file waited until phone turned off , then chaged the phone whithout starting it , once it reached 100% powered it on . Unfortunately the situation remained the same .
Here are some tests I did :
1. I charged my phone full and here is the showing 2 hours idle ( battery saver turned off) .

Please notice the showing of the apps consumption .
2. I turned plane mode and battery saver on and took another screenshot after 2 hours
As you can see there is no difference in the battery drain .
3. I turned plane mode off and took another screenshot after 2 hours
4. Here is what Google services showing :
5. And after another 2 hours :
6. Until I almost reached the end at 17 o'clock .
I only have 2 guesses here the first one is related to a HW issue with the phone and the second one includes spies , corrupted govorment and aliens ....
Any ideas guys what could be causing this ?
Many thanks in advance
P.S. I forgot to mention I have tried different chargers - the current one I'm using is the original one Output 1500 mA
Most likely Play Services is causing the issue. Go to battery and turn on Stamina mode, that should prevent Play Services from issuing so many wakelocks.

Even if stamina mode is turned on the same behaviour is observed . As you see on the screenshots even with airplane mode turned on , the battery drains almost so fast like when off .

Did the GPlay services update itself? Check if you are running latest version. You can install Better battery stats from XDA, and Wakelock detector from Play Store, than observe what's running in background causing that much drain. It certainly is weird seeing that behavior even after factory reset.
HEBF optimizer from Play Store might help minimizing Play services drain, and ultimately if you are not GApps dependent you can replace them with MicroG.

yes , Gapps are all up to date . WOW I was not aware of HEBF optimizer , offeres great stuff. I was not aware of MicroG either , but will definetevely try it ! Thanks

Well the GPlay services are complete crap, as terrible as FB app is for example. It's just unpredictable with that mysterious drain out of nowhere, you never know when will that happen, and worst of all you can't find out why, but it surely will happen. That's why I remove it completely and use MicroG instead since I don't need any of the Google Apps except the Play Store for the convenience in auto updating the apps (could do it manually with apkmirror.com though).
Have you checked with Better battery stats?
You should download and install Wakellock detector & amplify & greenify....these apps are magical
Are you on lollipop? Do you have xposed installed? If so, this module might be worth a shot:

Hi! I experienced exactly the same behaviour with Z3C.
Battery time was great for 1,5 years, and since last week it magically lasts only for few hours and charging is slower. I didn't root the phone but reinstalled software using Sony Companion (didn't help) and did factory reset (didn't help also). Nothing was changed during this time. The only suspicion - i started to charge phone using cheap power bank. Maybe that's the problem and the power circuit is damaged (eg. short circuit) ?
Does anybody with properly working Z3C can check the CPU load average? You must enable 'developer options' clicking few times at Build number in Options/Phone Info, then in Developer Options click Show CPU usage. In top right corner you will get an overlay with output of Unix uptime command with 1/5/15 minutes average load. On my Z3C i have high CPU usage (i think) - about 13/12/13. At Samsung S6 i have about 3/4/4. I don't know if that high numbers are normal for Z3C or it's only on my device.
I have got the same issue on SLiMM 6.0.1 ROM and on my dad's non-rooted phone Xperia M5 running MM 6.0.1, too. I have Xposed. I had followed battery life tweaks guide and i have disabled keep awake but it still draining battery. 6 hours later, Google Services started to use 90% of CPU usage for no reason. I rebooted my phone and it happened again. I updated Google Services to 2.0.99 and it solved the high CPU usage issue. I'll report back about battery usage

Hi ! When you say this , I remember that I used a cheap powerbank to charge my phone a month or more ago . However I have replaced the battery , so I think that even if I damaged the old battery , the new one should be ok . I have noticed that when I fully charge the battery , the first few % are draining as expected , after that it starts to drain drastically .
Here is the information colelcted with BetterBatteryStats ( this statistics were taken during the night , when phone was not in use ! ) :

Yeah, I didn't think so either :/. I mean, if you want to investigate if the problem is hardware or software related, you could try to deinstall google play services and related packages via titanium or sd maid or similar and see how that turns out.
And regarding the CPU usage data, I don't think that that's worrisome, considering the snapdragon 801 is at least one year older than any galaxy s6 or galaxy A CPU and less optimised.

The same in my Xperia. After fully charged battery lasts 100% after 20 minutes (when i don't use it). But from about 75% discharging to 10% is fast, even when i don't touch the device.
So about physical damage - i thought about damge of phone circuit not battery itself. My friend told me that he had similar quick discharging problem with one chinese phone (don't remember model - but will ask). He had 3 different batteries and this problem was independent of installed battery.
I don't know how to interpretate load average. In Z3C is quite high (like yours 11.06/11.3/11.38 or my 12/13/12 - even just after factory reset). I don't have comparsion to properly working Z3C, but i checked it for Z3 (not Compact) and load average is also high (about 11).
I installed terminal app, run 'top' command, but didn't observe any abnormal application. It looks normal, but maybe the cpu usage has a burst character... don't know.
My battery status
I have the same problem
My battery is discharging by itself even when my phone is turned off: 90% to 4% during the night. It started happening when I started using a powerbank delivering an output of 2.5 amps. The stock charger is at 1 amp.
I downgraded to lollipop 5.1.1 but nothing changed so I think this problem is hardware related...
An update :
I brought the phone to a service and they tested it for almost 2 weeks . At the end they said that they can not determine what the cause is and that they find it strange as well and can not repair it .
So I will search for a priest .... or a new phone....
Please post how much freedom and autonomy does your phone let you enjoy and your app usage time with the help of battery usage screenshots

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S Review: Cheap Android smartphone is water- and dust-proof
We review the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S with the MediaTek Helio G95, ARM Mali-G76 MP4, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.
www.notebookcheck.net
The battery is ok, but, I have a standby drain of about 25% overnight in a 6 to 7 hrs period!, wifi on, syncing just gmail in one account, dark mode on, no screen lighting upon notifications, bluetooth off, location off, haptic on, brightness at 40%, good operator signal on 3G, this iw driving me crazy! I had a galaxy note 10+ exynos (that I gave to my son) that drained less than 1% per hour at idle, and syncing everything, max resolution, running in performnace mode, etc, I just do not undersatand why this redmi note 10 eats battery like crazy, despite hqving lower specs than the galaxy note10+, but, in the end, you get what you pay for, no more, and most of the times, even less…
To figure out the culprit behind such phantom battery drains I find installing GSam Battery Monitor helpful.
Install it and let it run for a few charge discharge cycles and post screenshots to see actual usage vs standby drain

Looks like you brought it from 17% - 25% overnight drain down to 1% after optimizing your device? Try GSam
winoles said:
I have this device since August 27th, after setting it up, I started optimizing it, restricted background use for a lot of apps, well, everything that could be disabled or restricted, I only gave free pass to apps I consider important, but, the reults were really bad, 17% of overnight drain! Long story short, the optimization must be done very carefully, trying to stop all kind of things might prove negative, by trial and error, I now get a good battery life, now it barely consumes 1% in 8-9 hrs idling at night, aod off, wifi on, gps on, so, try to optimize your device carefully

Here are some tips to improve standby time by hibernating background apps using the Greenify app
How to Optimize Your Android Phone’s Battery Life with Greenify
At this point, smartphones are prolific. We use them for calls, text messages, social networking, photos, quick searches, streaming music, watching videos…the list goes on. But each thing you do drains your battery life, and some apps will even continue to drain your battery in the background...
www.howtogeek.com
I get around 20 hrs of backup with moderate gaming about 1 hour... Lots of fb youtube.. and also decent standby..
I use dark mode turning of individual apps..(coz it's glitchy).
I use automatic brightness..
auto brightness always on dark mode, sometimes I go two to three days without charging if I don't use much.
When gaming and watching youtube, browsing the web I usually put my phone on charge at around 50-40% battery life late at night and take it off charge either before I go to sleep or when I wake up. I've been VERY happy with my battery life on this device, I've never had any smartphone last this long in my life and it plays the PS2 (AetherSX2 app) games I want to as well, such a great cheap device.
For today my phone has been on for 26 hours and it's at 66% but I didn't use it that much, I played maybe one DB legends match, caught a few pokemon in pokemon go and watched some youtube vids.
I'm on global 12.5.15
edit: 30 minutes later and I am on 65% battery down from 66%
edit: so this morning about 10 hours after my previous edit I put my phone on charge at 51% battery life.

was there an issue with earlier versions of MIUI or something? coz I've only gotten my phone for about two months now and I've never been happier with a phone's battery life
Guys I recently got a Redmi Note 11 and so far battery life has been great, but Cell Standby is draining the most battery. Why? Even though its always connected to Wifi and I'm using only 1 sim card. Never had this issue with my other android phones.

this isn't for the redmi note 11
See attached. Guess those processes are what cause not great idle battery usage for the 10s (maybe ALL mtk g95 devices? ).
Anyone with an idea if
* those can be killed without affecting anything else?
* what exactly is "vendor.mediatek.hardware.pq" doing?
And since its named "pq" is this related to the oversharpening issues?

I couldn't find a thread specifically for Note 11 so I posted here. Its MIUI, its the same whether its 10S or 11, hence I asked.

yeah so basically you can kill pq by deleting one file in /vendor/etc/init, but doing that will result in broken color mode stuff, meaning no reading mode, no saturated mode etc.
So, I had to reformat my 10s after it began acting funny (lots of random reboots, weird behaviour.. )
(PS: never let your phone run down to zero - I've read this somewhere that it causes corruption somewhere and I think this is what happened to mine)
Great timing miui 13 global is available, so now have the reason to upgrade from 12.5
and now... the pq process I saw running all the time eating CPU is gone or at least running sane now, as shown in the screenshot.
Ongoing monitoring of battery but this is a great start, and a great reason to jump to miui 13.
I charge between 20%-80% that means i get 60% of alloted use and i get 5-6 hours SOT on light usage , browsing chrome and watching YouTube(10% charge per 60 minutes basically), when i do heavy activities like emulating ps 2 games (Aethersx2) it drains from 80% to 20% in around 2hours.
