Hey everyone,
I was checking out the battery stats thread over at the m7ul forum, and I was blown away. People were getting 5+ hours screen time, no problem. Obviously, we can't reproduce their setups; our phones aren't compatible with their ROMs.
So, I thought this thread may come in handy for those of us struggling with battery life, and would like to know what kinds of numbers can be achieved. Post your battery stats here along with your setup. Include ROM, kernel, tuning, services, etc. please!
I know the Sprint M7 is kind of a dying community, but hopefully we'll get a lot of participants.
*ahem*
Wow guys don't all post at once.
Anyway, I guess I'll just share mine to get you started.
As you can see, my battery life sucks. Not sure why, because I'm running SD 9 with Kangaroo, and I installed Amplify to reduce the Google Play Services Wakelocks. Also, power saver is on 24x7. If anyone has a recommended setup, that would be great. thanks!

The sound of silence...
Yeah, hopping place ya got here. LOL. I've ROM hopped all over the place, tuned and tried apps, prayed to the dark lords of battery power, all to no avail. The M7's battery life simply stinks. But, it's a supercomputer in your pocket, so I kinda have to think that's fairly amazing. I use power saver mode ALL the time, never have a need to crank it up, I turn my brightness down to the first bar on the quick toggle when I use it and the lowest setting for just glancing and messages, Beats off, NFC off, any radio I'm not using off, GPS off and in battery saving mode. I stream via Bluetooth for probably five solid hours at work and I can make it all day with some texting and make it home, so I can't complain. But, if I'm streaming, talking, surfing, and such, I'm glad I carry my charger everywhere I go.

Well you can't objectively say it's battery life "stinks" because there are definitely people out there getting absolutely incredible numbers in the int'l forum. I just wanted a Sprint specific thread so that we could replicate the setups of people having great success.

Does CDMA use more power than GSM maybe? I've never researched that.

That's actually the reason I created this thread. I want to see if there are any Sprint users who can actually get that kind of battery life. So far, it seems that they can't.
I would hate for that to be true, but I've never seen a Sprint phone get those insane numbers. So, it's possible that Sprint's network is a battery hog. But we can't conclude that unless absolutely nobody posts a good setup.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of us left, unfortunately. Must of the guys I knew when this thing was hot jumped to the M8 when it came out due to the problems this phone has. There's not alot of devs out there making ROMs either, though in HTC's defense, Sense 6 was so awesome there wasn't a huge need to go crazy. The one thing that has always been said though, is poor battery life. I'm on SkyDragon v 10 now with nagging wife kernel and I'm not too unhappy, I can post my stats for fun tomorrow. But, do us unstock guys count in your test?

Yep, anyone who has a sprint htc one can post their stats and setup here. Im running the same thing as you. Hopefully after the settling i get something out of this.
Honestly, Im just desperate to find out if m7sprs can get the same battery life as those insane gsms.
So far, it seems like a no.

OK it's not that serious, but why is this?
8/5 means 60% EXTRA battery life. That would explain how the people in the international forums get such insane numbers.

I started a thread on this, but I'll guess I'll ask here too.
What percent of your battery usage goes to Android System? According to GSam. I've noticed that the GSM guys have app usage in the high 20s or mid 30s. Mine is in the mid 50s. The Android System battery drain and kernel wakelocks are the issue here.

From what I've heard, poor signal on your sprint phone decreases your battery life. My average is around 2 hours OST within maybe 13 hours of use? I gave up on trying to make this thing last more than a day

It's likely half the rating if that. There's a reason these are so cheap. They're crap, and fake.
Best scenario: Everything works, albeit the battery doesn't last as it should.
Worst scenario: Ends up breaking your phone.
Yikes. Yeah if the voltage wasn't 3.7V I'd stay away from it - my initial thought was that they might not be Li-Ion. Do they have a factory in Hong Kong specializing in printing fake labels to put over old 1000 mAh batteries? lol. Well I'll let you know how it goes, either way I was told it "shipped"...
I'm running Codename Android 3.5 with the latest stable Air Kernel at the moment, and that gives me a good 3.5 hours of screen time and 30 hours running time in general typically between charges - with my old-ass original battery. Maybe I should just be happy with that and not take the chance of plugging this guy in :/
He's got a 99% feedback rating and 700 sales so we shall see.

It's a worst case scenario. Most likely it will simply not hold a good charge. I don't believe they have a factory specialized in printing fake labels. They just have a very optimistic way of calculating these things.
Then again, aren't you surprised they can cram supposedly 2450mAh in the same format of a quality Samsung 1500mAh battery? That's more than 50% added to the OEM battery in the same size battery. And for cheaper.
I got this rule in life, but even more so with chinese electronics. If it seems too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true.

please report back.... it should be very obvious the increased battery life it it is what it stated.
I doubt it, but if its true ill be buying one haha.
So I'm sure you've all been anxious to hear what happened with the miracle battery. Lol. Got it in the mail today. Which is funny because the day after I ordered it I called him out on the fakes... he ended up giving me a refund and it was processed. Ha! Well I bought a Samsung SGH-989 I'm using as my main machine since all this and have given my Nexus S to my son... But I'll test out the battery over the weekend and report back with details

O MAN! i got excited until i read the comments
I just received one of these (charging up now). I will report back with performance results after a day or two of use.
Does anyone know of a tool or utility to verify the stated capacity of the battery? I used battery spy but it didn't really have a stats page other than to see the graph of power related activity. My son's battery has been working fine for the past couple of weeks. He seems to get about 36 hours runtime with WiFi GPS and sync on. No 3g data plan just a my5 talk and text. Typically 3 hours screen time, 30 mins talk time, over that 36 hour charge. If there's an app for this let me know and I'll put up some screenshots.

In order to properly test your battery vs stock one, some battery testing software is needed : obviously:
Look at these apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.NanoDinamics.NovaTester
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterybench&feature
note: the first app's description is in russian but app language is in english and it does give exact capacity in mah and both app take long time for testing.
Choose app you like and if you or your son have enough spare time try to test it out. Also state what ROM and kernel you're using. Then we can see does battery really have stated capacity.

I was being a little of both. It just cracks me up to see people post their battery stats but yet the phone was never used. No harm sir just making a bit of a funny out of something commonly seen.
DISCLAIMER AS PER USUAL: YOU DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Although procedure itself is simple enough, but as alway, anything involving flashing, especially firmware has it's risks.
Oki doki. Time to come out in the open
Prelude. I was hard pressed to get 4h screen on time in 10-12h off charger. Then i screwed something up (irrelevant ) and had to reflash stock images.
Now my next findings are sure to attract so flaming from more experienced users that will say "it's placebo", "it doesn't work like that" etc. While I don't have screenies to confirm pre flash stats, i have gathered a few post flash stats. Here we go.
Some cycles are missing, since i either accidently deleted screenies or forgot to take them. But that should give you a general idea. WiFi used mainly, apart from last cycle, where 12 were on data only and the rest was while connected to wifi and reading a book in fbreader.

And this is ROM/KERNEL i used before and after flashing images. Note, kernel has been updates since, but it didn't make much difference.
So for me it's fairly conclusive, reflashing stock images has GREATLY improved my battery life. I had a few chats and we came to a conclusion that it is possible that at the factory device has simply not been flashed "properly", mass flashing differs from your usual .img flashing normally.
What you think...Well, it's up to you for decide. I know few more people who've done the same, and while their improvement is not as drastic as mine, it is still an improvement.
Please vote AFTER you try it, and after min of 2 cycles.
How to in post no2
Simply follow this great guide by efrant. Keep in mind it will wipe your storage, so backup all the pics and other stuff.
Before you do it, take below quote into consideration if you use google wallet.

Oh yes, you have to reset Google wallet before you flash it. You would log into Google wallet then settings and click reset wallet. I remember this from galaxy nexus days.

efrants guide
People who are more experienced will know how to cut corners If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you follow efrants guide to the letter. This way you'll learn a fair bit too.
Same process for every images version. Also, I ALWAYS do it for any images update, since I'm not a believer in patching. I might be wrong, but hey, it works for me. So my personal recomendation would be to redo this after every new OTA.
So:
1. Backup your "SD" contents.
2. Flash ALL stock images as per efrants guide (or any other way if you know how to)
3. You are most likely to get stuck on boot. Hold power button, shut down, reboot into recovery. Once you see broken droid hold power button and tap +vol. Once in recovery do factory reset. If you don't get stuck on boot, still do it.
4. Boot on stock. It's a good idea to transfer your rom and kernel onto sd now since you can't mount sd in recovery.
5. Reboot into bootloader and proceed to push recovery and then flash your previous setup (ROM/KERNEL)/
How to push recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-image-name.img

All on auto, the only two things i have disabled is gnow and location reporting (which is primarily used for gnow anyway) and had that disabled from day one. The rest of the settings are irrelevant, since they are the same from before i reflashed stock.
Interesting, be good to see what others report.
If i hear a few good reports, i might take the plunge next week.
Edit: might just be Rasbean jelly giving you good battery life!
Cool, I'll give it a try and see what it does!

Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.
The thing that's helping battery life here isn't the reflash, it's the factory reset that happened when you did it.

I would tend to agree. But which would be the cause, removed culprit user installed app(s) or something not set as intended from factory as a result of mass flash/ reset etc at factory? Or both?
Maybe even a difference between OTA updating new units after setup or before?
Would be easy to test the theory by just doing a factory reset without re-flashing and see if it makes a difference.

I did think of that. Thing is flashing ROM fresh IS factory reset. Factory reset doesn't do more than delete all the data and maybe reflash /system. So i disagree with you here Rusty. Think about it. I took my time to carefully evaluate changes, and you might know from my time in Sensation forum that I do look into things before posting it.

Also, apps have nothing to do with it, since my (and other people) setup is identical to what it was before doing that.

I can vouch for this experiment that we somehow agreed to without even hesitating lol.
Personally, i manually installed EVERYTHING. no nandroid or titanium back up. Before i would get roughly 9hr phone usage with 2.5-3 hrs battery. After going through this i now get 13-14hrs phone usage with 4-4.5 screen on. I know that's normal for some but compared to what i had before, is an improvement. This was just in the first cycle. I'm on my second and wool report back when I'm done

Not sure. But someone already had very decent battery life and extended it by another 0.5-1h screen on. I guess you wouldn't lose anything if you tried. Just a half an hour of setting things up.

Make a nandroid. You have nothing to lose but time. It's the weekend anyway.
Dont want to say anything but on screenshoots there is practically no apps other than browser or taptalk, play a game, watch a clip on YT, listen to some music ohh and switch off WiFi. Phone is to be used outside where you dont have a WiFi, At home I have my Laptop that is far much better than than a phone to read stuff, and XBox that is far much better for gaming....
I could probably pull 8h screen if I switch everything off sans WiFi and just have web browser opened on one page.
Ohh And I'm on stock since day 1 + had to reflash image due to kernel net being compatibile with screen sensitivity driver .... No changes, What you have on images wont repeat itself outdoors.
Look at that screen where you dont have WiFi on. Your usage dropped by 8hrs screen time by 1hr and still no phonecalls, txt, nothing really.... just chrome
I get 3hrs 30min screen + 17hrs usage with music in bacground, quick game + and reading, no reception for about 8hrs or if there is any its 1bar....(and that drains the battery)

Ohh And I'm on stock since day 1 + had to reflash image due to kernel net being compatibile with screen sensitivity driver .... No changes, What you have on images wont repeat itself outdoors.
Look at that screen where you dont have WiFi on. Your usage dropped by 8hrs screen time by 1hr and still no phonecalls, txt, nothing really.... just chrome
I get 3hrs 30min screen + 17hrs usage with music in bacground, quick game + and reading, no reception for about 8hrs or if there is any its 1bar....(and that drains the battery)

Ok. I think I have to explain something. This is absolutely not about how or what for phone is used. I used it in the same way before I flashed images.
Concentrate on the MAIN thing. Same usage, same rom and kernel, same settings, same apps. The only difference is battery life after flashing stock images files. Immediately.

Yeah, he totally missed the point. Same usage, but better battery life. This is not a battery life comparison thread.

Well, I guess poll won't reflect true outcome. This is annoying since I do it for you guys. I get no benefit from sharing that, I don't ask for donations or thanks, don't ask for credit. I just want people to enjoy great battery life I'm enjoying.

Mine is rooted with all the deepsleep fixes but still the same thing happens to me. And I cant find whats causing it. No wakelocks, no apps that would drain. It just seems like the battery acid magically vaporizes overnight. If someone can help us with this issue, please do. I'll be grateful.

If you look at the graph, till 10pm the device was fine. Then I checked for the time on the phone and let it just sit there. You can see the steep part where it's draining like hell. Then it stopped. Then it started draining again. I haven't touched anything on it. Just checked the time by clicking the home button. It just happened. I have no idea what's going on. I swear if this doesn't stop after marshmallow I'll snap this phone in half and throw it in the trashcan. There is no way someone could use this thing with this type of issues. I'm done with samsung.

Well, you see this whole problem comes from the fact that samsung doesn't open its sources to developers. No one knows what's really going on underneath the system. What kernel is really doing and what hidden services the rom has. The developer support for exynos devices is very little(thanks to those who are still trying despite the closed source code). My nexus 6(which I'm currently using instead of the note 5) had poor battery life. But thanks to open source kernel and aosp, now my n6 lasts me days with single charge. If anything happens, devs are fast to patch it up. So i think jumping straight to iphone is not really necessary if instead you can buy devices that welcome the dev support and community and are also more fun to use than iphone.

Yeah, no that's not it. I use the original fast cable charger- the same thing, and I use the wireless fast charger(yootech) - still the same thing. I don't think it's a hardware issue. I hope it's not, cuz I got no warranty on my N920C in the US.

I charge mine overnight as I get to the end of the evening and its on 20% max. I will try to charge mine when I get home this evening and see what happens overnight off charge........I suspect the wifi will drain the battery as a minimum. Have you tried it with wifi off?

Did you rooted your phone ever or always stock? Actually i just try to understand a theory real or not??
Peoples talking about a chip, which is cracked when you root your phone and never let you reset your knox counter? and same chip, causes deep sleep issue! i want to understand, if deep sleep issue just for rooted phones, then this theory maybe true and this is so bad for samsung!!! but if same issue happens to completely stock and original phones (i mean non-rooted!), then this theory is a crap!
1) Do you facing this issue with never rooted phones?
2) when starts to drain your battery? after an update or install an apk?

As per their own statistics in the Battery Menu, I have no app that is "over consuming". As you brilliantly explained before, maybe Samsung is just not showing all the info? I might bring it to an official Samsung Store and ask them to change the battery at my own cost (even if it is still under warranty, because they will never replace it for free if they do not clearly identify the problem).
And if the problem remains, yep, I might become a youtube speaker showing how long a Note5 can survive in a washing machine.

Don't pay for the battery replacement. Tell them the issue and show screenshots. Ask for a solution. If they can't identify the problem they should give you a new device. You shouldn't pay for something that wasn't broken by you.
By the way, I'll be waiting for the washing machine video if anything... that would be so satisfying.

slept with 70%, woke up off, no more battery. And you know what? I also activated the super energy saver option that turns the screen black and white with very limited apps. It was giving me an estimation of 25 hours. More than enough to spend the night right? But no. Which makes me think more and more that this is a hardware issue... Need to find some time to drop it to samsung and update you...

Let us know what happens after you take it to the repair center. I personally blame the issue on a core process that eats up the battery but doesn't show up in the wakelock detector and the battery stats. It really happens randomly which makes me think that there is some switch in the system that clicks and doesn't click back making some process drain the battery. And it's also not a deepsleep issue so makes it even harder to guess what it possibly can be.

@umudeus Saygılar
Thats kernel issue 'IMO'.. I would prefer you to root and flash a custom kernel but as you know it will trip kn.. bla bla. I've faced the almost same problem with yours(Last %23 battery had gone in 6 hours, I thought it will sleep deeply but found it dead when I woke up in the mornin ). It was my bloody first day with my phone(btw its s6e+) and boom after two days rooted and flashed custom kernel Till now(and will go on) it was sleeping like a baby when I turned the screen off. (Extra: DS Battery Saver app has good options in the deep sleep case, >>HERE<< )(For Rooted devices).
Edit: If wonder; my deep sleep time is just %3 for 7H 41Min. See the attached shots
Sounds like a kernel or hardware problem. But, can you try something that helped me before, maybe it will help you as well?
Try to charge the phone with a regular 2A charger (I had my note 2's charger handy). Believe it or not, I said farewell to battery drain on my phone. (I used the note 2's charger for a few days, and then switched back to the fast charger and everything is fine: I get ~5h SOT before the phone reaches 5%).

I actually wasn't trying to be a troll or spam. I'm on an AT&T V10 so I'm obviously running stock Rom rooted (as there's no unlocked bootloader yet). Only other thing I have from xposed is gravity box only for visual changes. I copied and pasted directly to the ETC folder as you stated was allowable later in the thread. I only asked to see because, like you said, it's hard to mess something up. Don't really appreciate being called a troll for asking a simple question....
Edit: only other thing I can think of is I changed batteries on a daily basis because I'm away from outlets for most of the day and have nowhere to recharge. I think I read something that the phone takes up battery on start up. But without this mod I would usually get 5-6 hours SOT and about 14 hours on a full charge

Your screen shot included nothing but a battery graph. No app usage, no explanation of what you are running / doing. And your saying "I'm rooted running xposed and all stock" is not you running stock. It is you running xposed rooted and probably with other small modifications here and there.
Just would be useful to not just come up here and make it look like this script magically destroyed your battery life somehow when it is literally nothing but basic shell scripts to modify very high level parameters of device operation. Like I said, you are literally the only person to ever have an issue. Post something useful other than "hey this is terrible here's a one off screen shot and no other information about what makes me unique from everyone else."
I didn't respond to your original question in the other thread because it was uninformative as to what you might have done wrong while installing the file. You posted a graph, then asked what you did wrong.
Good question. I have no idea. But obviously something because I've been using this for weeks now, and many other people as well and nobody has experienced this mystery battery sucking you are seeing.
It is important to note that your device will boot with all CPU governors set to "performance" which taps your frequency to max. This file changes it post boot, so if you didn't copy the file, or more importantly didn't set it's permissions properly afterwards, your device will be stuck running performance, possibly reboot, and certainly will suck your battery dry very quick.
You need to give me more if you want my help, otherwise I will ignore you. I do this stuff for a living and it isn't my job to be a test engineer for your device as well as my own.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I meant stock Rom as in no custom Rom. And as stated all I have xposed wise is gravity box with visual only.
I'm going to try a factory reset as someone else stated and copy only your file and see what happens after a few days.
I'm no noob when it comes to flashing and changing parameters which is why I was confused about why this had such a detrimental effect.
Again I thank you for your hard work and all the positive things you've given xda on your own time. I'm sure it's just something to do with only upgrading from root and not starting fresh

@greekunit690 it might just be coincidence, but under your display settings try unchecking & rechecking the Auto option under Brightness. I've found that for whatever reason the brightness setting will get stuck at the highest level even though I have Auto selected. This has led to rapid battery drain for me when it happens.

Its not hard. Just follow the instructions and use terminal emulator to input the commands. After you do it once from the commands you can simply copy and paste the file in the appropriate folder and correct the permissions when an update is posted.

The comparison is not exactly valid. You're comparing a smaller 4.6" screen with HD resolution only (Z3C) with a 5.0" Full-HD (X Perf.).
Think it's more realistic to compare it to the Z2, Z3, Z3+ and Z5...

I have a few things.. The phone going to 3g is normal, in Denmark when making a call to a number from another provider it goes to 3g but when making call to one using same provider it uses 4g for HDVOICE.
LTE is the same as 4G even though it is not 4g but that is another story. It is the same...so no big deal there.
I will await my phone and I look forward to it, my old z3 is in bad shape ?
Thanks again and have a great weekend ?

HellRoot,
Sure thing man!
Well here a phone w/o VoLTE should stay in 4G at least, but I guess if the one is not FROM (or locked) a carrier, it's not gonna get 4G. I just found out what I'm getting during a call is that it's switching back & forth between 3G and H+, or 3.5G. Some real BS eh? lol
Yeah NOT during a call my int'l XP shows LTE, which I know now is the same as 4G LTE. But it's DURING a call that is what I'm concerned with. Apparently there's more to it than just the VoLTE-certification, b/c my phone is no different than the T-Mo Z1s (which again does NOT have VoLTE either) EXCEPT that it's unlocked and int'l.
Yeah I had the Z3 too and I LOVED it!! Got the S7 but it just wasn't the same. lol Tried the HTC 10 too but still.........to me, Sony is still the best. The Z3 had better battery life than the XP does though, so make sure to get that 360 Hibernation Master app (full paid version!) too. See my review for all the details. Also a QC 2.0 or esp 3.0 charger will help deal with that too.
YW. You too buddy!!

Lte is 4g, it is exactly the same as lte4g or whatever you want to call it. The shown symbol or name is down to region of firmware only.

This phone is finally a fine replacement for my z3c. The z5c has been a huge disappointment, horrible battery life, average camera, constant resets or firmware reinstalls.
First off, it's ridiculous that the contacts app force closes. Not sure how that doesn't get caught in beta. Aside from that the phone stays cool, is fast, takes amazing photos, and is eminently stable.

Hey Bialynia,
Yeah I really love it too! I wish it had a bigger battery like my Z3 did, but it's still pretty good, esp when using the 360 Hibernation Master app with it. Works like Stamina Mode but better.
Yeah I think it's ridiculous too. I started a thread on here a few days ago about it. MGS seems to have found a fix, but it didn't work for me, though it might for you? Take a look at the thread here. Let me know if it works for you or not (if you try it)!
I agree on all points....... the camera is definitely better than the HTC 10's and even my now former Galaxy S7's! More detailed than the 10, and more color accurate (and not oversaturated) than the S7's. It runs and loads up apps much quicker than the S7 did, and that had an extra GB of RAM on it! The speakers sound much better than the S7's super awful lone speaker, it doesn't skip while playing music through MicroUSB port with headphones like the S7 constantly did, looks really premium too, etc. I have absolutely no regrets about buying it this phone.
I'm hoping to have an unlocked US version of the X performance possibly late this week and will post thoughts.
lindseybp,
Nice. Despite Sony Mobile not advertising it for the US XP, many people are claiming that the US XP WILL in fact be IP65/68 compliant. It'd be nice if someone (not saying you lol) could test that. Others on here say sometime soon (if not already) someone will develop a flash for the US XP that will actually activate the fingerprint sensor. You may want to ask around on here about that if you want to use it. They say it won't require root or even unlocking of the bootloader, which is extra nice. lol

Would be nice to have a flash like that. I would definitely give it a go. As for testing the IP65/68......I would have to think about it....

Yeah it would. lol So far I've been told you need something called Flashtool (bookmark that link and download now) and then the FTF file (int'l individual firmware file which will just activate the fingerprint sensor, vs the full int'l firmware file which will change everything, but you may not want that.) It's nice b/c unlocking the bootloader on an Xperia phone has been known to permanently mess up the camera, but this doesn't require that or again rooting either. I'd also check through these threads with the word "firmware" being the search term used for the XP. Or just start your own requesting that FTF file.
Haha again, I WASN'T implying you should test that, but someone. I'm sure someone on YouTube will soon enough too, so I'd keep checking there.

My contacts app doesn't not force close. It currently takes up like. 824kb of space and fully working.

I started having other issues with XP this weekend. It randomly restarted like twice on its own, and now after doing another factory reset, I'm noticing that during calls where I have Speakerphone off the screen is STILL not turning off. So returning it for a new one, and am hoping I'll have the same luck MGS did with everything including the Contacts app. lol
