[Q] SGS to be used as pocket heater? Wifi eating too much?

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with battery like everybody else.
I'm not a n00b about this and I have no crazy apps installed (I'll attach the list of apps I have)
My rotation sensor is off,
AutoBrightness is off,
HSDPA is turned off,
UMTS is turned off,
EDGE is always on and AutoSync is always on.
I have only 1 widget running that is Battery Monitor Widget.
Using SpeedMod K13C 500Hz with no tweaks applied and no lagfixes applied, I'm having huge battery drain randomly, most probably when I switch network connections wifi-edge-wifi-edge.
Here's my RomKitchen log file
http://romkitchen.org/logs/VgOonoWjJx.txt
Here's my installed apps list
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1339016/SGSInstalledApps.txt
Here's a screenshot from my last battery graph (this rom is installed almost 20 days ago)

As you can see, my battery instantly dropped by huge amount.
All I did was wake up the phone,
toggle Wifi ON,
open Skype,
login, call a contact for 3 minutes,
logout Skype,
toggle wifi off.
What I want to know is, if Wifi driver patch needed with this setup? Will it make any difference? Maybe it was not my wifi but my screen?
I desperately need advice on this.
Thanks guys.

Uninstall Skype and test it. Its running even when logged out and eating too much battery. Have tested it withhero and system panels monitor. ..

The battery draining that much all at once strikes me as very odd.
Off the cuff that seems like a reporting error to me. Try recalibrating the battery a few times the old fashioned way (drain fully, charge to 100 while off, wipe batt stats, rinse, repeat) and see if it happens again.
Good luck.

Thought about trying totally stock for while I tried different kernells and found I still go back to stock best ive had is js5 getting around 45 hours on stock against charging twice aday with modded phone

Calibrating battery and freezing skype with titanium backup seem to fix problem.

[Q] Battery drain on unrooted phone

My MotoG 2014 with Lollipop 5.0.2 is unrooted, I have read other threads about this problem: I've installed Lollipop on it from brand new phone.
The scenario is still that there is no way to track down who is draining the battery on unrooted Lollipop? :crying:
I have Google position on, wifi on, bt off, 2 sim with one active for data.
Yesterday the phone lied on a table for about 11 hours before taking the following screenshot, I may have used it (in that 11hrs) for less that one hour not continuously

How can I find the responsible app? Should I start powering off Google position?

Try to reset your device ..! This should fix it..! And that's not a huge drain in my opinion because WiFi , 3g , and auto sync is on always so its Normal 11 hrs standby and still some juice is remaining that's great actually..! ☺

If with reset you mean Factory Reset, I will leave that as last because restoring an unrooted phone is a pain (to be polite! )...
Right now I've followed the (few) steps for unrooted phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/guide-how-to-best-battery-life-moto-g-t3049970
configured localisation as "Battery Save"
removed "my face" from Smart Lock
installed Greenify and hibernated (manually... ) a few app
I cannot leave the phone in standby for long time now, I will see on next weekend!
BTW: from my point of view 80% used in 11 hrs standby is not great...

The above steps didn't change a lot the battery drain...
With "App of the Day" I got Battery Booster, actually I'm using it only to its statistics: I do not know how much I can trust them but so far the only apps that are using battery even when the phone is in StandBy are:
System UI
MotoCare
I can understand the first, but what about MotoCare?? Is it a vital component? Can I safely disable it?
I do have only Motorola Alert activated and running, but I can disable it! Both Assist and Migrate are disabled.

Battery Drain

Hi everyone, currently I'm a bit frustated by the battery issue that I have on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5(SM-N9208)

is it normal to have device idle and android os > screen ?
With that screenshot, my SOT is only 1hour 20mins
is there any apps to track down what is draining the battery ?
And I think that the percentage is shown is wrong?
Best regards,
Alex Yamin

I think you're right in saying that the idle shouldn't be that high, maybe an app you recently downloaded?
How long has it been this way?
My battery isn't that great either and sometimes even Pandora or Spotify drain my battery faster

When I'm at work, I don't play any music/games, mostly only whatsapp,telegram,instagram, and a few calls
I think it's already been half a year, been a bit frustating to bring powerbank anytime you go
I also tried to install GSAM battery monitor, saying my battery usage is 15.5% per hour, pretty insane but it is

Whoa... That's a lot. I use YouTube a bit, Spotify, stitcher, WhatsApp, messenger, maybe Gmail sometimes i use a gear S2 and Bluetooth headphones which is why I drain my battery so quick, when I don't use them it lasts me all day... but when I do have them on I always have to charge my phone at lunch or i won't make it thru the work day.
I'll post a pic before I start charging my phone...

Battery life not quite good

Hi everyone,
I have this little phone for about 2 weeks and I've never ever reached a good and consistent on screen time. I've always had about 2-3 hours, although this phone could manage 5-6 hours on screen time!
This is my situation right now (I have 43% battery left)

Is that normal??

If you disable RCSservice you will get at least 20% of your battery back, with no side effects.
RCSservice was invented by google as an alternative messaging protocol, to be added to mms messaging. But it never really took off and from what I can gather, some service providers don't support it, at which point RCS seems to go into some sort of error state, eating battery.
I put some instructions together on how to remove it and reclaim some battery.

Disable wifi scanning under location settings.
'Keep wifi on during sleep' should be set to 'only when plugged in' (under wifi prefrences\advanced)
Try installing Greenify to slow down the wakelocks.
Better Battery Stats can be installed on a non-rooted phone with some ADB commands. This will tell you everything you need to know, what's waking the phone, what's using the network, whats' waking with alarms etc etc. As well as having a helpful thread to talk about what you find.
Using 5Ghz wifi uses a lot of juice, if possible sepearte 2.5Ghz & 5Ghz bands on your home wifi and use the 2.5Ghz. The speed difference is negligable.
Disable sync under account settings . This will save you heaps of battery, but then you're going to have to open Gmail and press refresh to find out if you have mail. Most other stuff works ok with it turned off whatsapp/twitter/snapchat/et all

Here a similar issue with the XZ1 compact. Think battery life is quite disappointing to be honest, felt it was better once upon a time.

My XZ1C battery life is quite good

Question Massive Battery drain on idle. Battery went from 70% to 45% overnight with all background apps closed.

I have no idea why this is happening. It's been 2 weeks since I purchased the phone. The screen time is showing 1hr 23mins but the phone was idle at night. Is there a fix for this issue?

Something is keeping your phone from deep sleeping. When the display is off it can be in one of two states, one is the phone is still on, CPU is running but the screen is blanked out, this lets apps continue to work, for example sending an email you've just sent then turned off the phone. Then after a little bit more time the phone goes into deep sleep, this sees everything frozen so nothing is running and the CPU is off. It should be in this deep slate state most of the time you are not using the phone. What can happen is applications take a wake lock, and stop the phone from going to deep sleep, and over many hours that really drains the battery.
Restart the phone and see if it is now okay. Consider what applications you have installed recently that might be causing the issue.
