[Q] Use root to solve cell standby battery drain? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Has anyone found a way to fix the cell standby battery drain with the new root powers that we have? I'm hoping we might get the 2 day battery life once that gets fixed. Thanks in advance!!

You can check wavelock, and look for culprit, app ops can help with permissions

I know cell standby battery drain mostly has to do with how good of a signal you got, but I agree that the drain is a little excessive even for bad reception... I am hoping for a workaround too. Maybe somehow making the antenna more efficient
Also I am not sure if there is a way to get a better radio image (idk if image is the right word) that is specific to your area... a way to manually update it? you may need BL unlock for that, but no idea really

Just wait for Lollipop update and it will be gone. With KitKat I had around 10% or more battery drain overnight, but now I'm having at most 1%-2% with the same synced settings, so it was a huge improve, believe me.
Also, as far as I know, Turbo will be updated directly to 5.1, so it would be better, but hope that Verizon crap-ware doesn’t ruin the update.

GPS off =battery drain

I seem to notice that keeping the GPS off seems to drain the barttery faster in mango
Anyone here can replicate the problem?
I think some kind of process looping going on draining the battery because the phone maybe trying to access the gps
Again? No, I´ m not having the problem, you need to get a new battery after those expirements of yours.

^^ he may be right. For me, turning off GPS improves battery life.

Charge your phone to 100%, then wait for the issue to happen. When it does, open Better Battery Stats and take a screenshot of Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks.

tnx for all the help bro
Audio_out4 is the speakers. It seems you're getting lots of notifications? To test it, try setting it on silent or vibrate only. This wakelock should disappear. I've had this on my HoX before, but it didn't eat as much battery as yours is doing though. Let me know if it still drains in silent/vibrate.

I don't seem to see anything that's wrong with your wakelocks ): I'm a bit interested in the No Data Connection, and No or Unknown Signal. Did your phone spend a lot of time in low reception areas?

If you're trying to achieve ZERO PERCENT battery loss when the phone is idle, you're going to be sorely disappointed. As you've noted, even when you're not actively using the phone, the battery is still discharging. He'll, even if you were to POWER OFF the phone completely, the battery would still discharge. It's physics and unfortunately I'm not educated enough to explain exactly why. 2-3% battery loss per hour is really good and probably the best your going to get.

but my frind have the same phone and in idle of 8 hours he lost 2-3 %
why my phone use more?
I saw that answer coming and, no offense, I think your friend is full of it. Short of leaving the phone powered down or in airplane mode, I can't imagine how he's pulling that off. Never in my phone loving history dating back to the good old G1 have I achieved that. I've seen it done on my iPhone before, but not Android. If he's really pulling that off, get him on here ASAP and have him share his secrets! D

Only way to achieve that is probably on the HoX with undervolting. That companion core really sucks very little power.

Battery drain no matter what i do

Even without sim card, the battery still drains, drained 10% every 5 hours. ( even wifi is off it still drains)
According to BetterBatterystats, the highest wakelock count in partial wakelock before is *backup*, (removed after disabling google backup)
The most wakelock right now is SuperStamina Xssm, it can be stopped after disabling Stamina mode, but even i did , this battery still drains.
any way to solve this? airplane mode also drains battery, basically nothing works from stopping battery drain.
in your screenshot you use wifi right?
Try to switch to GSM only (2G) in network settings and see if there's any difference.

How little do you expect the battery to drain? What are the current wakelocks right now? Are they still the same?
Can you use Wakelock Detector instead? The Xperia SP's battery might not be as great as you think....
Let's just calm down, and of course, help can never be demanded. Maybe your phone has a hardware problem that none of us can solve.

Why wait so long?
Take your phone to a sony service center(or where ever you bought the phone) and let them have a look at it, might be that your battery is just not working properly. They will replace if it for you.

they said it's normal for a phone without sim card to standby 2 days without using it
i personally think is software problem, i tried drain the battery down to 0%, then charge it full without break,
after that, the battery drain is just godly, after 2 days left 98%, but then the battery suddenly started to drain like hell,
after 5 hours it became 94%, then it keep draining down as usual.

not sure if backing up ta and flash cm is the last resort, i'll go with aokp but there's no official built for sp yet.

If all the app draining apps are closed and alsoare bluetooth screen brightness and wifi.
The problem may be deeper.
Your kernel may have flipped and its draining this much battery i am not sure how to check it but i would not suggest you to flash a new kernel right away just because i think thats the problem.

for your information, see this graph, 2 days with good standby, and then went from 95% to 35% in less than 20 hours
this problem is occuring with stamina mode on or off, nothing works

Does anyone know what Over-Counted is?

I have been seeing this in my battery stats and I have no clue what it represents. It just says over-counted...does anyone know what this is?
Thank you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What does GSam or BBS show?
Yep. It's what used to be called miscellaneous.
Basically the os cannot know how much battery has really been used.. It's all a calculated guess.
For example, there is a file that tells android how much power WiFi uses when connected.. Let's say that file says wifi uses 2mA when connected.. Let's say then that 10mA of battery has been used in total.. Android then works out that WiFi has used 20% of the battery.
Ok, let's now pretend that you are sat very far away from your WiFi router. It takes more power to maintain a connection. Let's pretend that it really used 3mA.. In reality the WiFi actually used 30% battery but it is reported (because of the file) that it used 20%. When android adds up everything in its file, (not just wifi) it can only find 90% of the battery used reasons, because it doesn't know about the extra 10% used by wifi, because it expects it to be 2mA not 3mA. So there is 10% of battery used "missing". This 10% needs to be recorded because the battery usage must always total 100% (even though it kind of doesn't work like that anymore)... So it records it as this stat.

That actually depends on your usage. Since you are on stock, your battery should be awesome, but weird that it isn't (especially when you said that it is unrooted).
it could be that your battery has finally reached its state of dying. The way to confirm this is to try another ROM, but that is your decision
To answer to your question, it may make the issue go away.

For the sake of troubleshooting, would you like to root your ROM?
If you do, install Towelroot app on your stock (I am assuming 4.3 Jellybean) and root your device. Afterwards head to SuperSU on Google Play and install it. And proceed to updating the su binary to the latest one.
After your root setup is complete, reboot and install Wakelock Detector. Give it a root access and a refresh for the first time.
Allow your Xperia SP to drain its battery like how you would normally use it. After hours, please screenshot the content of the app and upload it here so I can inspect it
if i use my phone with something like wi-fi ,whatsapp .....etc (not heavy apps) how much time my battery must hold it?
thanks.

You might wanna give more details like what apps you got installed, your usage, your brightness level etc. Also wifi, whatsapp does drain battery. How much screen time were you getting before with the same config? How bad's the drain when the screen off? Like someone mentioned above, you could root your phone and try Wakelock Detector to see if something's constantly preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.
Also your battery could be a dud but like you mentioned you haven't had your phone for long so that probably shouldn't the issue but you might want to make sure of that before switching roms. No point rooting/unlocking your phone and flashing a new rom only to find out that the issue still persists but if you wanna try a LP rom nevertheless, you could always give it a shot.
Much like yourself, I am suffering from rather poor battery life myself but my issue is most likely a dying battery. I am telling you this cause I have tried about a dozen roms and it makes zero difference so changing roms isn't a surefire solution. I use Greenify, PowerNap, keep the brightness rather low plus use a bunch of other battery tweaks but it hardly matters. My battery drains rather quickly either way (screen on or off). Even when my phone's in deep sleep, I still get bad drain so check thoroughly before you make the switch.
Did you check which app or feature is draining more the battery?
Sometimes, doing a factory reset will solve the problem. Have you tried it? Make a backup first.
