New phone battery help

Hi.. Im a new Nexus One user. I just got the phone on Monday. I dont have it rooted and am running the latest build of Froyo.
My battery is depleting at an alarming rate. Just this morning, after a 3 min conversation and a gmail check, my battery dropped almost 10%.
1) I have no live wallpapers running
2) I have tried using an app killer and not using one since its effectveness is questionable.
3) I have my display all the way down
4) Bluetooth off, wifi off, sync off
5) No major widgets besides a calendar widget. rest are just app shortcuts and the power control widget.
I saw someone with a Nexus One yesterday - he was bluetooth on, a live wall paper and after 5 hours - still in the 90% range. My phone loses 10% in 10 mins after a 3 min call, and email checking.
What do you think the problem is? Phone is brand new

I have posted a thread about this, and another member took it even further a contacted a HTC rep.
1. Use phone until battery drains
2. Charge while phone is on, until you get green light
3. Turn phone off, in a few seconds the light will turn orange
4. Charge in off mode until light turns green.
You've just calibrated your battery, and you should'nt have issues after that.

It literally takes a week or even two before the battery levels itself out. When brand new my battery drained incredibly fast as well. Try to give it some time perhaps.

I have exactly the same problem. My phone went from a full charge in the afternoon to a 37% charge by the end of the day, and it was on standby with just a few calls and texts and a light gaming session with GENSoid. It also overheats to the point where it becomes uncomfortable to hold when charging via the included AC adapter.
Your best bet would be to call Google support (they're the best CS I've ever come across) at 1-888-48-NEXUS (American international rates apply, toll free in the US). They'll send you a replacement battery for free.
I wasn't as lucky because my IMEI didn't show up on their records and I couldn't verify I had the unit in order to be eligible for a new battery.
I've tried calibrating and everything, and my phone turned a month old a few hours ago. Still have the same issues.
Hope you have better luck.

Bluetooth keep awake after update

This is killing my battery. Is anyone having this issue?

Nada boss.

Well that's the top on my list of my battery usage for the last 4 days even after rebooting the phone couple of times. The only way to prevent it is shutting down the BT but I don't want to manage my BT all the time.

also having this issue
Just saw your post. I am also having this issue. To test, with BlueTooth on and the phone idle with screen off, I was burning 3-4% an hour. Battery drain was worse if I actually used the phone. Turn off BT and I'm around 1-1.5% an hour. The keep awake percentage with BT on was something like 75-80% awake (the bar on Battery Info looked almost solid). Now that BT is off, the phone wakes up a few times an hour when idle/screen off.
I previously had a Droid Razr Maxx HD and kept BT on all the time with no real effect on battery drain. I had BT paired to my car radio for hands free and to a Motorola Keylink (using the Moto Connect app) for SmartLock. I'd like to keep BT on all the time for the KeyLink/SmartLock feature in Lollipop, but not with that kind of battery drain.
Have you had any luck figuring out how to get BT to work without the Keep Awake?

Has anyone find out what's causing this?

I'm having the same issue - seems to have just started within the past week or so - anyone know what's going on?

Yeah I am manually turning off my Bluetooth when not in use again. Haven't had to do this on any phone since ICS.

The same issue just started for me today. I may have found the cause and (at least temporary) solution. My phone is no longer constantly awake and Bluetooth awake time has stopped increasing.
Cause: power cycling the phone while Bluetooth is on
Solution: turn bluetooth off before power cycling the phone
This is just a rudimentary discovery, but if people can confirm if this also works for them we can maybe get closer to a real cause/solution for this.
edit: False alarm. Bluetooth is now keeping the phone awake again, even without a reboot. Gonna try changing around smartlock settings to see if this helps.

Two days ago, I disabled the settings to let smartlock unlock my phone when in range of my watch. I did not reboot, however. That evening, the phone ran out of power and shut down. Since then, it's been fine. Phone still shows awake all the time, but the battery usage has been much more reasonable (20 hours use out of it vs. 12). Once I verify that it's working reliably, i'll re-enable each setting separately to try to figure out what's going on.

Moto Z force update turns the force into the Note 7

So the latest update to the zforce did some major improvements. Like making wifi not find any networks. Bluetooth not working and best of all the new Note 7 feature.
The phone has been factory reset and the cache Cleared. With nothing installed the phone gets so hot it can't even be touched. Installed this to see what was going on and after the update the battery if let sitting screen brightness turned down and just sitting at the main screen after a few min the battery gets to over 90c. The frame on the phone gets to over 60c. Checking the phone has a constant 1amp drain and I seen it as high as 2.5 at times.
Moto knows about this fire hazard and they do not seem to concerned about it. Refused to send me a safe box to ship the phone back. They also did not advice me to stop using it and keep it powered off.

Wow that completely sucks I'm so glad that I'm still on marshmallow. Please keep us posted if they exchange it and the process

That stinks. On Nougat with no issues here.

I have (no wifi (intermittent 2.4gz connection and no 5gz available) and no bluetooth) and had (major battery drain) since July. I fixed the drain issue with a battery reset (after a full charge, wait 2 hours, reboot the phone by holding power button till it reboot) by making sure wifi ain't turn on and no micro sad card inserted when I reboot...
Still have some battery drain issue when phone is below 30% with wifi on at night... Wake up the next day with a dead battery, other than this battery life is like it used to be.
It's sad to see Motorola/Lenovo doing nothing to help its community with updates, I've explain those issues but only got replied I should get it return and get a refurbished one... when lots of those refurb ends up with the same issues afterwards...
Hope Oreo update can fix this

Bluetooth sucking battery?

I just got this watch and updated it. On the first day of real-world use, it sucked up around 10% an hour. At first I thought that this was normal, but when I looked at the battery stats Bluetooth had used 80 to 90 percent, while the others only used 1%. Are there any tips or way I can help with this? I did update to the beta version (the one with Android o as the base and not n) so if that's the issue I'm fine with that, it does make it to around 4 pm and I wake up at 6-7. This is a very good watch though. I had tilt to wake, aod, Bluetooth and wifi although wifi didn't appear to use much. Cellular is disabled because I don't have a plan for it.

I also just got this watch, and was concerned about the rapid battery usage. However it is now much better. This could be for 2 reasons, or one or the other. The first is that the initial pairing causes a lot of activity over Bluetooth while the watch updates and syncs all apps and may have just settled down. The other, and from advice on this forum, was that I disabled cloud sync (not that easy to find, go into Android Wear app on phone then Settings, then Privacy and Personal Data). Since then the battery life has improved vastly. Hope that helps.

At least you get something other than Bluetooth. I'm on the beta as well as now I get nothing but Bluetooth listed. I had major drain and thought it might be because I tried sideloading apps via Bluetooth. Whatever it was I couldn't figure it out. Factory reset and I'm back to normal

Yea today I woke up at the same time and before, at 3 I would be charging it from 5%. Today, it's 6 and it's at 33. I did disable cloud sync and a weather complication. I also disabled NFC. Other than that I dont remember changing anything else.

You don't happen to be using a Pixel 2 XL?

Having a very similar problem and I am indeed using a PIxel 2 XL, is there something you know about this?

I started a thread in the questions section for battery consumption, which still shows on the first page. The biggest consumers of the battery I've found are the Bluetooth/wifi radios and Tilt to Wake Sensor. That TtW Sensor was sucking down about 4% of the battery just on its own. The best configuration I've found is no wifi, no TtW sensor, no bluetooth, using LTE combined with AT&T NumberSync, from which I get approximately 24 hours. If you want to see other configurations that have been tried and reported, you can check out the other thread.

I've had pretty decent battery life on my watch (depending on what it's doing in a day) but today the thing was dead in less than 7 hours and it shows it's all from Bluetooth. So, riddle me this....do I even need to be synced via Bluetooth when I have NumberSync? What are the advantages/disadvantages (besides battery drain) to leaving Bluetooth on and connected to my phone?

Sounds like something wasnt letting it sleep
Do what I do. Every 2-3 days do a restart of the watch just keeps things fresh.
Mine can easily last 2 days if stretch it. Normally I'm around 50% by the time I get home after 12 hours

Thanks for the advice! I'll start that routine tomorrow and see how it works out.

Gear S2 battery issue, drain in OS but when docked shows 60%

My Gear S2 operates as normal as it should, however even at idle, the battery drains rapidly. Once the unit is completely dead, I then dock it and it will say 60% charge, which I know is wrong given that the unit will not power on undocked, meaning the battery had been completely depleted. Unit charges normally but I think a bug is preventing it from reaching actual 100% since it believes 0% to be 60%. Is there a way I can fix this without tearing apart the unit or replacing the battery?

same issue
I'm having the exact same issue, did a factory reset today updated all apps still same. I use a basic watch face, turn brightness to 2, everything off except Bluetooth and can get about a day of use . Is anyone else having this issue and has a solution?

Battery dead

So update on this issue, (on the Gear App on the phones most updated version) I went to the basic watch face in gray scale, then turned off all notifications, under gear connection, I unchecked sync wi-fi profiles, and under about gear I unchecked marketing information. I'm not sure which of those if any made the difference but at the end of day one 16 hours of use I was at 70%. So on the second day I tried a colorful watch face with animations, and 16 hours in I was at 63%. So one of those changes I made may have fixed my issue.
I did uninstall and reinstall the app on the phone, as well as reset the watch itself, neither seemed to work until I did the above changes. Hopefully that will help someone, or at least help to find out what is causing the massive battery drain.

With all that I have done with my gear, most I was able to get was about 10 hours. Though today it did to something odd. It died completely like it normally does, (it dies anywhere between 3-10% ish, and when it does die, its completely dead) so I placed it on the dock. Two minutes later I check and it reports 34%, "thats odd" I think to myself so I undock it and power it up thinking I would get no more than 5 minutes battery life on it since it couldnt possibly have that much charge in two minutes. I also expected it to report a low percentage but it didnt. I placed it back on my wrist and it continues to run about 10 minutes later down to 25% and still going! I find it odd. My current leakage issue I think remains and might be why the watch doesnt last as long. I might end up getting a new battery and see. My top battery user: watch faces at ~45%, even if the face hardly came on, and I am using one with a custom background that is mostly pure black.

Drain
That does sound pretty weird. I had a custom watch face installed "Mr Time" and started with a brand new install and I'm slowly adding things back in.
I would suggest a fresh install of the phone app, and the watch, using the classic face black and white. If you can get similar results to what I have then one by one start customizing it. I tried a lot of things to get it to work, over several days and that's what worked for me. I even uninstalled all of the watch faces I want using from the app"i felt that Mr time was still running in the background, even though it probably wasn't.
Good Luck
