Hi all... im new to this forum n sorry if this question had been asked before. Im on stock + deodexed + zipaligned + abyss kernel 3.5b + thunderbolt tweaked rom. Its a great experience for a newbie like me before moving on using custom rom. The only issue I have right now is the DISPLAY battery usage in setting -application-battry usage too high, 85%. Is this normal or theres something wrong? Driver or tweak perhaps? Right now,and usually, theres only 3 or 4 service running (in the battery usage)... display, android system and cell standbay but the battery wont even last a day. Other than that, this note rocks....
Sorry.... forgot to mention... its LA4 rom

Your battery usage depends a lot from how much you use your phone, but how you use it is also very important. If you're on full brightness all the time it has a big impact on your battery, because of the area that has to be illuminated. Also the more white color on the screen, the more battery the screen uses (because it is Super AMOLED).
So my advice would be to lower your brightness setting. This should make a big impact if your brightness is now set to full blast. If you use less than 50% brightness most of the time (I find that mostly sufficient) then post here about how you use your phone.
For comparison, I can use up my battery in approx. 7 hours by watching movies on the Note on around 60% screen brightness.
Also, I prefer dark wallpapers just to save up drips of juice. Haven't tested the actual impact of doing so tho
If the screen is on. The battery it consumes will appear in the battery stats. Don't panic its normal. I doubt change in kernel is going to help you. Below are my suggestions for you.
a. Reduce brightness
b. Use black wallpaper
c. Stop being so anal about the battery life. ;-)

Lol good advice I find even on the lowest brightness the screen is still very bright. In a well lite room I can still use the screen without much added glare only when I'm outside in direct sunlight do I find myself going 50-100% brightness. My display usage is typically 50-60% compared to everything else in terms of battery usage.

I am faci.v the same pro lem.. Sometimes my battery usage sbows 85 per in display and some times 55 per... This mornin i was playing world of goo.. N in less than an hour my battery dropped to 67 percent from full.. I am on rocket rom v21.. Wifi sharing frozen...
Also when i am using internet the battery drops very fast. .. In half an hr there is approx drop of 10per... Brightness setting is on the lowest... even posting this message from my phone and the battery level dropped from 85 to 84. . i cant compare it with stock rom because when i was on stock rom there was no battery indication in percents...
thanks for the advice. my brightness is always at its lowest level and i dont use auto brightness. i tried auto brightness n random level brightness before, it doesnt seem to lower the DISPLAY battery usage. last nigt,i set my note to aeroplane mode, and really great,2% usage for 8 hours. installing betterbatterystats didnt show any wakelocks, either from kernel or rom. its just the DISPLAY consuming too much. any chance its a driver issue?
Hey,
Did you also turn off the image analyzer setting? It messes w/ ya brightness just like auto brightness does...
And set screen timeout to a longer duration so it dont cut off in the middle of usage. on/off/on/off repetition eats more battery.
Try key light set to light only in the dark. theres only one key per side so it being lit in the day serves no purpose other than being prettyyyyy

What battery widget are you using?
So that 6% is not from display anymore?

i am not using any battery widget.. i am on rocket rom v21.. it shows the battery percent in the sstatus bar up on the top... i am sure you must be aware of it..
a detailed version of my above post.. this morning i took my note with me on a 76 per charge... used it to make some calls and a little messageing.. without any surfing on 3g or wifi... after about 4 hrs when i checked my battery stats it was 74 percent... and then i started using wifi in about no time ( abt 15 min ) the battery dropped by 6percent.. was just looking at another thread ( kernel comparsion )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1473733 ..... and i think wifi and surfing really takes a toll on abyss kernel 3.5 c.. will try updating to kernel 3.6..
its been off all the time... i mean the image analyzer.hmmm.... maybe its the display driver ...
Personally, I use 10% brightness and it's good enough for me, even under sunlight. It lasts about 9 to 12 hours on daily usage with 3G (I don't switch it off), mp3 and two or three 25 minutes videos, phone calls, twitter, sms, G+...well you get the picture. Full charge when I go out in the morning and about 10 to 30% battery left when I reach home in the evening without any random recharging in between.
I'm using stock rom by the way and my display uses 25% of battery whenever I check what's eating up the energy.
Am loving the battery on my Xperia ZR. Am on 4.1.2 now, haven't got the update to 4.2.2 yet.
Wow..
Thats amazing dude. Can you post the screen on time screen shot pls?? Am planning to buy one soon and this would help me.. Thanks :good:

wow you seriously get that backup???
do you have mobile data on all time or just when you need???
Me too. Never thought i would get battery backup like this. I got only a day and a half of battery backup max on my old Galaxy Nexus.
Mobile data always ON now, but also have STAMINA mode activated which cuts off mobile data while screen is off. Also Wifi is automatically deactivated when i leave home and turns on when am back!
Here's my battery backup. Heavy day and I was on the road from morning to evening.

Standby Loss?
My experience with the battery has been mixed.
The standby time is great. But sometimes i experience abrupt drop in battery level (about 4%) while idling and no background apps, data,bluetooth, wifi all off.
Also, can someone please tell the standard battery loss for following scenarios (in % loss per hour or other time intervals)
1. While using Mobile Data (not WiFi) and browsing on Chrome ( I lose 17-20% battery per hour)
2. Sleeping with STAMINA MODE on. (i lose 3-4% in 6-8 hours overnight)
Any replies or help is appreciated.
What kind of sorcery is this??!! :silly:
GREAT!! :good:
Thought I should update once more.. This time I have more voice calls than screen on time.
Using Opera instead of Chrome, I have seen far less battery usage and also memory usage.
It's better battery life than GNexus for sure. but playing game really drain up the juice
Usually using Calls, SMS, Internet (Jasmine, Twitter, YouTube, Opera) via 3G and Wi-Fi, listening music via BT PowerAmp -
Gaming RealRacing 3 from 96% to 28% -
Good Battery i think.

Ciao
I just bought the xperia ZR. I haad sgs2 and I was very please with that phone. Recived OTA 4.2.2 as I turned on the phone. Updated.
Screen, design and UI responsivness is just top of the notch.
Camera in low light envirioments is poor, pics are full of noise... You have to play a lot with the settings to get a decent pics. I heard that is a software problem... Well... I hope they fix it soon cause is worst than sgs2 pics which has less MPixl.
Question about stamina mode. I turned on but I do not see it working... Please spare me lessons on how it supposed to work. I do know that. When I turn on the display the H o 3G icon is there as the networks never been shutted. I still receving FB whatssapp notification, and i didn't put any app in the allowed list.
I read that many other guys experienced this sort of problem after updating to 4.2.2
Any suggestions? Is yours working well? So u have always the network logo?
By the way yesterday was first day without stamina the battery hit 13 hrs with 1hrs call and 3hrs screen on. Not bad I might say. But I cant get 1 or 2 days as guys with stamina did....
has anyone tried the mugen power batteries yet? I watched the video showcasing the 4600mah battery and it kinda looks like they doubled the thickness with the new case? I don't think i would want my phone to be that thick so can anyone who has it post comparison pictures, or at least testimonials about the 4600mah and 2500mah ones.

I haven't updated to 4.2.2 yet, but I have sudden battery drops (4-8%) with 4.1 JB on C5502. It usually happens when battery is below 40%.
These drops have happened more than 20 times in last 2 months.
I was hoping that this issue will be fixed in 4.2 update?

Could you please tell me the size of the update by PC companion? Is it like the FTF( 700MB) or OTA update (200MB).

Mine getting 9hrs on high tweak.
still wondering how you can get that much SOT. My Highest was sth with 5 hours
I got my OP5 friday and thus far can't get past 2.5hrs SOT.
Getting about 6 to 7 hours with hours of playing Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.
Got 9+ hours but don't remember how I had used my phone that day.
- OOS 4.5.5 (stock)
- mobile data all day (with more or less giving hotspot)

No, only using Whatsapp, Google Chrome and sometimes Snapchat / Spotify. Also Mobile Data / Wifi enabled all day.
Well I probably would have hit 11+ hours but I had to charge before going to bed the first Sunday after I got the phone. About 9.5 hours with 25% still left. All stock, stock kernel. I for for titanium backup and a couple other root apps.
I've got 5h 50m SOT with 54% remaining
How do you guys do this? I get like 5Hour on display in one charge.

Screen on time depends heavily on how you use your phone. Playing Pokemon Go all day will result in much less screen on time than doing something light like watching a locally stored movie.
Just wanted to ask what the AccuBattery app says about the "health" of your battery? It was showing me that the battery only has 3.053mAh (about 8% less than it's supposed to be) from day one.
It's at 3.051 mAh right now.
My op5 eats 10 percent of the battery for every hr of screen on time so I get about 10 hrs per full charge.
For those who don't know...it helps to keep your screen as black as possible as this is an AMOLED display. So wherever your screen is black...it's off. I use the dark theme . My wallpaper is solid black. I'm used the "lines" icon pack as well
When I'll be reading online for long periods of time I sometimes use the "inverted colors" option but I'm not doing anything else special. I always have auto brightness on as well
I always get around 7-8 hr. But could not pass 8 hrs

I don't usually pay much attention to my battery at this point. One of those things that once you have it for a couple weeks, it's just looking at the same thing.
Also, I charge my phone each morning before leaving for work, so my battery never really goes below 60-70%. Those pics are over Saturday and Sunday. Tried killing the battery but only got it 25%.
My usage is medium to heavy use. Calls all day for work, about an hour or so a day, YouTube and web surfing, emails on push with 2 accounts (I get about 20-30 a day). Occasional game, nothing much. 2 hours of music streaming 2 hour total commute to work on the train. WhatsApp mixed text, photo, videos about 200 a day (mostly text)

On my GS8 I always had AOD on and never saw it show up in battery but on the Note 8 not only does it show up but it is second only to Screen on time. This doesn't seem right at all. I checked in the About AOD and there's no option to update.
Anybody else with a Note 8 seeing something similar? I understand that AOD drains some battery but this seems to be draining way more than I expected. Hoping this is a bug of some type.
That's odd. Mine showed as 1%. Something definitely isn't right. Do you have the infinity wallpaper on it?

I had de s8+ and I didn't have that issue
Same for me AOD is second only to screen on time. Going on mah used. 9 hrs of AOD was 240mah and 1 Hr SOT was about 240mah.
I've now turned off AOD to get he extra SOT. I now use the led for notifications which works perfectly without draining the battery.

Hoping a future update can fix this drain because I've noticed a considerable improvement to my battery life after turning off AOD. As of right now, it's not worth the juice. I have a wristwatch.
I have the same issue.
My AOD version is 2.8.42.32 and there is a newer version available on Apkmirror.
Couldn't install that version however.....

I've actually been considering turning AOD on because notification have been total crap for me on this phone. While on the charger, sometimes the light actually flashes and sometimes it just stays lit. Sometimes the phone makes a noise and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I'll turn on the screen and I'll get a rush of notifications that the phone didn't apparently pick up. I love the phone, but sometimes this makes me miss my Note 4.

Note 4 was the best note, removable battery was the best I really miss it
AOD continues to be the biggest battery hog so far. Nothing has changed.
try this
settings> display> "block accidental touches" and turn it on.
not sure if its on for you guys, but this will turn off AOD when in your pocket/purse/murse and reduce battery drain.
Yes, is on
That's not the issue, something happen with the AOD un the note 8, in my s8, everything was OK

If it worked fine for the S8, it's something that they should be able to fix with an update on the Note 8. Hopefully they will.

Is there a reason why I haven't seen this update on my Note 8 and is this update meant for the S8 phones only? What's up with Samsung not pushing this to our devices yet and is it meant to address the battery drain on our Notes?
Hi all.
I buy the Galaxy S9 Plus, received two days ago.
Currently i have the January Firmware, no update here in Italy, that seems unstable right now.
Compared to my Oneplus 5t, sorry to say, but it is a bit laggier.
In those days, 2 times / 10 some application (Google maps - Twitter) have crashes or made the phone unusable (i have to force close Google maps three times yesterday).
Also, the battery is draining really fast, battery today drops with a medium usage to 10% after 2h of screen.
Hoping that the situation will be better with the new firmware.
2 days for testing battery life not enough the device still learning how u use it
for crashing and unstable for sure updates will solve that
The device isn't even officially released yet. Give them time to release the update that we already know is being released (already has been in Germany).
Allow more time for battery. A new phone has to learn your usage patterns before the battery is properly optimised.
If you're getting a lot of app crashes there's something wrong. Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, return it as its faulty.
battery indeed drain very fast. I own a regular UK dual sim s9. compared to S8 which I previously own, sot is up to 1.5 hours shorter. basic operation heats up phone fast too.
I have none of such problems. No crashes so far. Battery life is great. Maybe faulty unit?
These are my battery figures so far.
I have had no crashes just yet. I managed about 4 hours SoT over an 18 hour day yesterday. Not amazing but better than my old 6P.
The device is lightning fast and keeps quite a bit in memory too!
Got the plus and had an ota yesterday. 1 fc of something I can't quite remember prior to update.
Been rock stable and battery excellent since then

I can tell you one thing when users report 5-7hrs sot and you just get 2, you can't blame the phone something is wrong with the apps you have or with some syncing issue

I will post in those days, some screenshot about my battery usage, so you can understand.
However, i will reset the phone tonight, so we can check if it's something wrong with my apps.
It is the usage pattern that counts as well as the apps, theme and so on. Some might not use Facebook for ex that is known to heavily drain battery. Others might have dark/black themes that helps, or medium batery saving mode...there are hundreds of scenarios. One user that has his phone set on FHD+ resolution wil have the battery lasts longer than one that has it at WQHD. Some might have smartwatches and devices that require permanent BT on or high location settings. All these consume battery so just saying mine has that much SOT or it lasts that much time, means nothing.
For ex, in the print screens above mix197 had 13 hrs of standby with 2 hrs SOT...2 hrs of doing what? Cause there is no voice call (and he has VoLTE active that sucks battery), no navigation, no nothing. Read the Bible for 9 mins and browsed the internet for 20...and having 13 hrs of IDLE. That's a graphic showing night usage...probably lasted like this since he was sleeping and the phone too.
What I want to say is that don't bother to compare your new devices with others....eventualy compare it with your old devices since those had the same apps and usage pattern (mostly). And read how to improve on battery: use a dark theme, disable un-needed packages/bloatware...including but not limited to Gear VR, Gear S, Facebook, Bixby if you don;t use, ANT+ and so on...deactivate BT, or set the mobile data to turn off when on WiFi (is in dev settings as I recall and it's on by default to switch quicker from wifi to mobile data). All these will help you get some more battery

It is the usage pattern that counts as well as the apps, theme and so on. Some might not use Facebook for ex that is known to heavily drain battery. Others might have dark/black themes that helps, or medium batery saving mode...there are hundreds of scenarios. One user that has his phone set on FHD+ resolution wil have the battery lasts longer than one that has it at WQHD.

The only reason people try to compare is to know if theres a problem with their device. For the s9+ it is the case as some are reporting 6-7Hrs sot while others are reporting 2-3hrs
I still believe that usage pattern and applications makes the difference. Such comparison should reflect something if same person was doing the tests. As this is not the case, results may vary by a large margin as I said. Besides that, the difference in hardware might be the binning (as it was the case with Note 8 or S8/S8+ devices). Could be that devices with higher SOT have higher values for nAsv too so that would mean they're much more power efficient and have higher performance too.

That's why i started a thread called chip bin and benchmarks
Ok, i think that maybe there are some serious problem.
Only 1h and 30 of screen on, and already at 57% of battery.
Something goes wrong.
See screenshot attached
Yes android system is an aggregate of many things you need to install BBS or gsam

Got the plus and had an ota yesterday. 1 fc of something I can't quite remember prior to update.
Been rock stable and battery excellent since then

How do you get such good battery life. I bearly get 3-4 SOT

Something wrong with your apps/configuration. Android system can't be the top drainer....

I can tell you one thing when users report 5-7hrs sot and you just get 2, you can't blame the phone something is wrong with the apps you have or with some syncing issue

My screen is usually on top then it's Android System. How do I figure out what's causing my bad battery life?

Install betterbatteystats and grant it the permissions via adb

I just did that with gsam. Now what?

Now you leave your phone for an hour or 2 untouched and see how it behaves. Look for partial wakelocks and alarms
