[Q] Strange battery issue - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It drained like 8% two nights ago while it was on normal but last night I had put it on battery saving mode & it drained 12% :/
I'm not using any external battery saving application while I've had disabled extra services that I don't use (following a guideline here at xda), any suggestion friends?

Are u on KitKat or Lollipop?? Are you using any Rom or Stock? Do u leave your wifi on or 3g while u sleep? There might be an app that keeps your phone awake

I'm on lollipop 5.0.2 got out of the box, 3g, wifi & even sim services were off (there wasn't any sim inserted) Plus+ had also preferred to reset it before using it when I got it.

[Q] How can I tell what's eating my battery?

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??
In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.
I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.
Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

I charged battery fully, made a reboot and left device for a night. Wifi was on. I lost 10% per 9 hrs.
Phone haven't slept at all
Is that all bcoz of gtalk?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Dude your phone is just fine...10% down in 9 hrs with wifi on is too good...everything looks normal..gtalk seems to be waking up the phone to update the online offline lists.in general syncing...thats all..if it was 10% down in 1 hr then it wouldve been a problem...the data looks just fine..and trust me your phone is entering sleep mode..or else it wouldve showed different result..to confirm that install cpuspy..it will say what all frequency are being used and how much phone is sleeping and all...
so just chill..
BTW I logged out from gtalk yesterday evening so I can't understand why it's trying to connect

[Q] battery drain - can't identifiy despite bbs

hey guys,
i have a problem with my i8190 since i've bought it... the os is draining battery and i'm loosing about 20% battery over night...
i've tried several things:
installed newer official versions from samsung
deactivated nearly every app
calibrated battery
tried benzrom
tried juicedefender
but still no success.
can you identify something in my bbs??
thx in advance
I have the same problem, i had a full charge at night, then i woke up and the phone had 50 % battery, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi were off and it drained half my battery, also installed CPU spy, and i notice that my phone is not going into deepsleep, i only have 5 hours of deepsleep and dont know when that was, i have the latest firmware, anyone else having this issue?
It's normal for this phone. Put the phone in airplane mode at night helps me with battery drain, just 2% juice gone.

install adaway
should decrease the battery drain and free up some memory in the process
Well for mine it was an app called Jango, for some reason this app after quitting it wouldn't let the phone go to deep sleep, removed the app and now its going to deep sleep.
Use JuiceDefender or or try to change your brightness level.
Please reply to my better-battery-stats...
I has nothing todo with screen brightness
thanks for the tip with adaway... i'm already using it... but no success
@kicker63: this can't be, when i see people having the s3 mini with up to 4 days usage

Your battery might be defective i guess, if deep sleep is that long and you're losing battery, i guess u have to blame the battery
I don't believe people get upto 4 days usage, if they do they hardly use the phone. Most people on here say about 1 days usage is common. Screen brightness on full will drain your battery more quickly.

It's a long shot, but I also experienced a lot of problems using Viber.. JuiceDefender etc wouldn't solve it, betterbatterystats wouldn't detect it, ...
Just noticed after a while that my sudden battery drains were triggered as soon as I received a message on Viber.
I also heard about facebook apps draining the battery.
Maybe you should first try to reset it to factory settings before asking a new battery?
Good luck with your phone, I know it can be frustrating..

If you're rooted, use greenify to stop facebook from running in the background during sleep
resetting the phone wouldnt help since he is getting almost 99% deep sleep reported in BBS

Admins, please move to corecrt Thread (One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting)
Hy all!
Im having major problem with my HTC One battery.
In the begining, battery works realy good (2 days of light usage) and then of the sudden starts draininig 10% over night (standby, wifi off, sync of, hard reset is done, only GSM).
I`ve noticed that sometimes, back of my phone got warm (even im not using it)
Yesterday, i turn on airplane mode and battery lost 30% over 8 hours.
WakeLock says 98% deep sleep.
GSAM says 30% use phone radio, 70% apps (system and kernel)
I cant post pictures cause im writting this from work.
Stock android v 4.2.2.
T-Mobile carrier (M7 version)
Can anyone help? I tried almost all solutions founded on forums...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Try Greenify on the Playstore, it show you all the wakelocks and allow you to hibernate them
hooh! that's bad. maybe you have a lot of apps running in background.

I have WakeLock Detector instaled and 98% is in deep sleep. I disabled all apps i dont using and that can cause such a masive battery drain.
My mobile radio is big power consumer (switched to GSM only with very good signal).

Could it be a bad battery? Should I return the phone?

Try to re flash the stock ROM and then root again using doomlord easy rooting toolkit or use custom ROM

Do not reflash stock ROM it is a waste of time.
Do the following:
Open settings > Apps > All > Eco mode controller (delete data)
Reboot your phone. The data of the Eco mode is messed up so it is a waste of time to reflash stock rom and lose all your data

Don't mind the estimate. If I switch on Stamina Mode it shows 11 days (!!!) and when switch off shows 6 hours(!!!)....
Use your phone for everything as much as you can (instead of looking at it ) and if phone is new give it a week or several charge cycles.

Well, it showed me 11 days when Stamina Mode was ON. When switched FF showed 6 hours. But I had issues with my phone (very fast battery drain, extreme overheating), so cleared Eco mode data, and disabled/uninstall few apps. And now, when turn ON Stamina it shows 1 day 10 hours (example), so looks its back to "normal" . I think something was messed up in the system as now phone performs perfectly. Better than my previous phone, the mighty S3 LTE.
And I have to admit, I didn't like Sony (had only SE X10 which was a disaster), but this SP impressed me so much, that I ordered Z1 as well.
It's a good experience and refreshment from Samsung

A yeah, will stick with with Sony for a while. At least until Samsung S5 is out. Then will see ...
And btw, the Snapdragon Guru app does a good job as well.
Also I find out that AV's and task killers doing more harm than good.
Disabled most useless apps (GAPPS,FB,Whatsapp etc) and I am really happy with my SP now.
One thing did a magic : in the Settings I switched Off Animation, Transition and one more thing and phone performs absolute perfectly.

New HTC One battery problem

The phone was bought 2 weeks ago and I have battery problems after 2-3 days. So the battery drain is huge, i got 10% (100%-90&) after 6 hours with the phone idle no use at all. What can I do?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Mine (bought on March 2014) with power saver on goes from 100% to 96% in one night (data, Wi-Fi are off). I think that is normal. Battery lasts 2 days normal use (not much screen on).
You can do a Factory reset. Don't install apps and watch if the drain is still there.
1. If the drain disappear install your apps one by one to see witch cause the drain.
2. If the drain is still there send it to service you have a battery problem.

Did you installed some apps that may cause?
Is this brand new or used phone you bought?
need a bit more info.
go to settings - power - usage, and look at the app usage. You should see the typical apps you use a lot, but also look for apps that look out of place. like an app you don't use much, but uses a lot of battery use.
also look at settings - more - data usage, and scroll down. That will show which apps are using the most data, and also if it's foreground or background data. Don't worry too much about foreground data, that is data use happening while you are using the app. Instead, look for apps that are using a lot of background data. if you click on the app, you have an option to disable background data for those apps.
Note some apps don't function properly without background data enabled, like some google services/play store. also make sure the play store options are set to never auto update.
fwiw, I usually get 2.5-3 days between charges with light use.
Sounds like a major issue

If the phone is that brand new, it could be a malfunctioning phone that eats through battery life. I would try taking it back to where ever you bought it from and try getting a new phone. See if that helps. Otherwise you may need to purchase a different battery from a reputable seller in order to get a good amount of battery life.
Cheers!

You could try GSam Battery Monitor (dowload it form Play Store). It gives you a report on which apps drain your battery.

Those should be on the top of your list. You might have a faulty battery then. Have you tried a factory reset?
So, I tried a factory reset but still battery drain. I have another HTC One, with heavier usage and still goes all the day with 30-40% left at night. I will talk to Vodafone to sent the phone to warranty but I think they will say It's because you unlocked the bootloader, put a custom rom, and there is a chance to lose my warranty. Probably I'll buy a battery case

You could Greenify the apps running on the background. That way, they will only be running when you open them and not after you close them. This could help too.
