Hello guys I'm a newbie here so please do explain to me some of the stuff if you need to
so recently (about 2 weeks ago) I used this guide to root my Incredible S and did everything except the Blackrose part
and since then
I've noticed that my phone has drained its battery a lot quicker than usual
I lost 11% of battery when I woke up, fully charging it the night before
I usually do not use it much, only a call every 2 days or so, and I do not have internet connection
so I cannot understand how I have to charge it every day now, when it used to last 4 days (on Sense)
here's a pic from betterybatterystats
thanks everyone
------- 4/10 edit
ok
back to stock rom
it has the SAME problem
"No data connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" on Betterbatterystats
with steep drops in battery whenever there is "Mobile network signal"
and next to no drop whatsoever when there isn't
PLEASE HELP ><
new attachments down there with stock rom
tell me if you need a translation
THANKS

Battery drain has already been discussed much in the CM10.1 thread. Its been discussed in practically every AOSP thread really.

I know and I've tried to look around for answers for quite a few days
but for most people
it's either the same as Sense or something else (too many apps, not charging fully...)
and for those with similar conditions
I can't find solutions for
and the problem got worse today
in the 7 hours I slept yesterday
the battery drained from more than 50% to nothing
so the alarm didn't ring because it shut itself off

The standard charging time isnt what it says on the box or anything. It should be roughly 6 hours from 0% to 100% and thats providing you plug it into an AC outlet. I would suggest trying an app called Greenify. It hibernates certain apps/ services that may not be in use thus saving battery. I would also regularly check the Running Apps in settings and clear out anything unecessary.

nonono
I don't have a charging problem
it's a drainage problem
and about Greenify
I already installed that when I looked over the battery saving guide (which didn't help)
I literally have 5 apps in the Running Apps section
the part I don't get is
why does Cyanogenmod 10.1 use battery so much quicker than Sense
when I have 1/4 the apps I originally did?
it's the "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" part really bothers me.
oh and thanks for the time btw

Hmm then this battery drainage is strange. Try making a full backup in recovery. Then clean flash the ROM again. If the problem still persists, then I have absolutely no idea whats wrong lol

Actually
I tried that...
on Sunday afternoon I reflashed it
my exact steps:
1. ClockworkMod backup
2. Install from zip
3. Advanced restore - data (I restored the whole thing too once before that, but thought that just restoring the data might actually change something)
and that's when it went from 50% to 0 overnight
not looking too good -.-

Well then sit tight. Szezso is gonna release a CM10.1 for us as soon as he gets his new USB port.
oh well then
thanks for the help anyways
I'll just keep waiting
might want to go back to Sense though...
and more pics from BetterBatteryStats
just in case anyone knows what they mean
Drained 56% of my battery while I was asleep yesterday (for about 7 hours)
only 6% in the time I was at school, because of Airplane mode (I even listened to music and played a little Doodle Jump)
but I obviously want a phone to CALL PEOPLE
so I'm reverting to stock Rom
OK
so that didn't work out
I edited the main article
hope someone can help!!
meanwhile I'll look for more articles online since I know it's not (really) CM's problem anymore
thanks
Ensure to charge your mobile fully and after a NORMAL usage (calls, WiFi, Mobile Data on).
Just share the dump file from betterbatterystats. It would help to analyse better.
Edit:
Could notice you are using some widgets in the home screen. Usually widgets with high refresh rate drains your battery.
2. Facebook app is causing the partial wakelock. Even when the screen is off, the app is using your CPU. Try to disable autosync if it's enabled
3. Audio_out3 wakelock is due to phone vibrator is enabled. May be during call or keyboard haptic feature.
Power manager service wakelock is common and its in good level.
Try to check your CPU freq n governor.
And adjust accordingly. One more, Li-on battery should not be charged fully. Just charge till 85-90%. The battery will drain little lower compared to fully charged device. And you need to charge your device only when battery is low. Frequent charging n discharging will affect the battery life. Consistent Charge and discharge cycle is encouraged.
Try to share your fresh dump here or in batter battery status thread. There are many folks to help you with.

Thanks for the detailed reply sir
My widgets (aka weather & tasks) only refresh manually, and nothing is on Autosync (in the auto sync menu, anyways)
originally had only vibration for calls, turned that off too now
and what is "CPU freq n governor"?
didn't know that about the batteries
I'll do that next time
and I just reinstalled betterbatterystats, so I'll post the Dump File after a few hours
Thanks again!!

I mean CPU frequency steps and CPU governor. It's a kernel thing. Just search xda, you will lot of info regarding that.
Sure, post your dump with normal usage.

got it then
I'm going to install SetCPU
but because the RUU unrooted my phone, I'm going to have to root it again
meanwhile
the Dump File
***4/12 8:20PM edit
finished rooting, reinstalled stuff
I installed No-frills CPU Control instead
since it's free
but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it
am I suppose to just record the data and post it here?
Um...
guys?
Just when I think I've got it all setup nicely...
Latest AOSIP rom with Hellscore kernel, stock settings greenify, full discharge and recharge, all seemed so good....
And then boom. Go to reboot to recovery and I get the little empty battery icon upon reboot - but I was at around 40%?!
I use the battery calibration app, for what it's worth knowing the debate about the battery stats file. I've done the bootloader logs 'trick' and still I get a random occurrence like this?!
Anyone else been plagued with this randomly happening to them?
There are so many reasons it can happen. on thing id recommend is install ampere form play. Using this you should be able to monitor the voltage of the battery and at least know that it is operating within the correct range. if your 0% voltage is too high, it could rule some stuff out.

Cool. Just periodically check the app and jot down the percentage and voltage. keep doing that until its ready to shut down. preferably a reading every 10-15% if you can but really important is to try and capture readings just before and after any drop off you may see.

Perfect thanks for the advice, I've got it installed and now juts doing a full charge.
Following that drop out, the device then reported 7% battery so I let that go flat and now fully recharging.
If it's the case that there is something going on here, how can the issue be corrected? Does Ampere help configure reported VS actual readings, or does it purely show what's being drained?

Its worth getting a voltage reading now too then, to see if it is as low as expected. As for solution, we need a root cause first.

Ok here is my first screen. I'd browsed Facebook (web version) and watched a video or 2, battery dropped to 97% soon after.
Yep. Just keep going. Every 10% is fine. No more than that. Actual battery charge is voltage so we just want to see if there are any conflicting data sets later on

It just did it again!!?
I had even doing the Ampere monitoring but didn't go all the way down. But today I just experienced the random drop out again. Strangely when I booted back up, it was as if the cache had been wiped as the Android Optimising app screen came on.
This was from the other day though, if this helps?
The other day did it seem to deplete normally? I'm around 20%/right now and see similar voltage to you.
Sometimes my phone used to crash and when it booted up I had this graph / drainage issue. It's as if it goes into some manic sleep that kills everything. What you've got here seems similar. I don't think there's an issue with the battery cycle itself.
I'd be tempted to do a factory reset and start clean to be honest.
Is the back of your N6 lifting away from the frame? I had this issue too and ended up doing a RMA because the battery was bulging.

Just took off my case and checked and all seems normal, back doesn't appear to be coming away and seems to be ok.
It's times like this I miss my good old Note 3, never had a battery life like it for its flat lining ability!! (see attached)
If it were the battery capacity due to bloating, I would expect to see the Voltage value to be wrong
Go back to stock and run it with no restored apps / data. If it still happens RMA

Your battery calibration is messed up. It happens.
DO NOT waste your time with "battery calibration app" -- there is NO software you can install and run from Android that will have ANY impact AT ALL on the battery calibration. All those "battery calibration" programs do, is delete the battery stats file, and all the battery stats file does, is store a log of what programs are responsible for how much resource utilization -- nothing at all to do with calibration.
Battery calibration reset is done through the BOOTLOADER.
Reboot your phone to bootloader. Scroll to "bootloader logs". Press and hold power button until the phone shuts down.
And that is all there is to it.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I have tried this many times and so there must be more to it than this. On my latest rom, I had wiped phone and clean flashed whilst phone was connected and at 100%. Therefore a new clean install whilst phone was at 100%. I cleaned that stats (for what it was worth) and also did the bootloader logs trick. I would have thought that would have solved the issue, but as reported it still happened.

Your calibration is fine because the % matches up to the voltage, which is all calibration matches.

It's hard to say. It seems like the system may be crashing or something at that time and causing an inordinate drain. Thats what mine used to do sometimes.
Hi, I have p30 pro for about 3 weeks now and the software is updated. However, I have noticed in the last few days that battery drain is happening a lot faster than it used to be. I did not install any new apps nor do I have a live theme or notification app... I think I can only get about 5 hours on screen time now, but earlier could do better.. How long does your battery holds and what is your average on-screen time? Also what is the unlocking frequency of yours in the past 7 days or so?

After update, you should clear cache via recovery so it can optimize apps back properly. For me easily 7hours sot with my Samsung gear connected 24/7 + GPS always on and that's with around 15-20% left. Also in App Launch, I don't set it to automatic. I manage them manually allowing those I want and disabling those that I don't need running in the background.

Can assure you that almost everyone here can get 7 hours of SOT. Do you have any rogue apps ? Reboot your phone into recovery, then choose Wipe Cache.

So now it's 2 am, I have charged the phone to 100% at 9:30pm, It has not be used much although it was on mobile data the whole time. This is the result now: 85% baterry, and it says "time awake" 1:06 mins. Does that mean that phone was unlocked and used for 1 hour and 6 mins after being fully charged? Since I don't think I have used it for so long, since I was in cinema for 3 hours, from 10pm until 1:30am, and only unlocked it for couple of times during the movie. Something strange is def going on. I don't have rogue apps, just normal ones and tbh just a few.
Can you please be so kind to type step by step tutorial where to find all that in settings and what to do, because I don't want to mess something up.. Thank you.
i unplugged the phone at 6:30am today its 9 pm. phone has been playing pandora thru BT since 10 am to 7pm still have 50% battery left. cant see how many hours of SOT. Battery life is amazing for me.
I'm expierencing same thing. Only about 4 or 5hrs sot. Something isn't right. Running 131 aoftware

Yes sure, shut down your phone. Then hold volume up and power key. Once you feel a vibration, then release the power button and keep holding the volume key. You should now be in recovery menu. Find Clear Cache. Then reboot when you're done. You wont lose any data. It will optimize all installed apps. The time awake you're referring to in the hardware section is the screen on time. You should also note that if your network coverage is bad, then consumption will be higher too. Try downloading this app to lock it in either 4g/lte or 3g only if coverage is bad in your area : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
Hope that helps. If you're still facing bad battery life, then i reckon you to do a factory reset as a last resort.

Okay, thank you very much, I will do that before my next full charge. Are you sure no data will be lost?
Ps. Update on the battery status. So it is 9:26am now, screen awake time 3:26, battery 66%, 12 hours since last charge. Only on wifi, no mobile data.

Okay thanks about the data info. But not sure whether it's fine because ppl have 7,8 on screen time and have 15-20% remaining.. I will test it today until the battery fully drains to see what screen on time will I get.. Also, one question considering the wipe cache, will it get downgraded to original emui version that was on the phone before the update or will the. 124 update still be present?

No it won't too. Firmware can't be downgraded.
just do factory reset and start over ...
Update. 16:50 now, 23% baterry, 6 hours on screen time, 19h34min since the last charge... So it was yesterday at 9pm fully charged, not a full day of without charging, not to mention two days that others are experiencing.. Tonight I will do the cache cleanup and measure the results in the next couple of days.. If no result achieved I will do a factory reset, hoping it would fix the issue..
I have done the cache clearance, but no difference at all considering the battery drain. Can you share what is the best way to save all data before doing the factory reset? Upload it on some cloud or some other way? Also, are you guys always in normal mode or do you enable power saving mode?

If you're still facing battery drain then i guess you may have restored your apps when you first setup your phone. For call logs, sms and contacts , you may use huawei's in built cloud back up and for photos , use google photos. Then factory reset and don't restore any apps from google. Start fresh.

Okay, thanks, I will try that and share the results.. From the downloaded apps I only have viber, WhatsApp, messenger, Facebook and AliExpress app. That's all..
Any update?
I am exactly like you. Consistently getting 35 percent screen and 65 percent software
Is there any battery life issue that anyone may have encountered ever since the previous two updates.. my 6000mah battery that used to stay for 2 days minimum has gone to a single day. It's all been after the update and i saw plenty of forums in Asus itself of the same thing.
Reference :- https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/54786/battery-drain-issue-on-rog-3
Anyone got any leads for this?
You're just overthinking. Stop staring at the battery percentage 24/7 and enjoy the damn phone.

You damn right! But how, bro. When u were accustomed to charging ur phone once in two days and you have to subtract 24 hours from that.. it surw changes the usage from a gaming plus daily driver to either one of the lot .. change for the bad questions a lot of stuff

What is your battery usage? Have you tried a factory reset?
What is showing as consuming most power? An optimized debloated ROG 3 with a healthy can go a week on stand-by with data enabled and even longer (no kidding) and easily 2-2.5 days with normal use.
You have to pinpoint what is doing it. It's wearing down your battery as well...

I tried, actually. The thing is i fear the Android system itself. Coz in one of the threads on the Asus website forums, there were people discussing Play Store or Play activities that keep auto restarting and also twin apps.
So for starters i did try to force close play services (can't disable coz of the emails), then battery turned out great. But afterwards it started reducing again. Same with twin apps.
I ain't kidding too. It's supposed to a 2-2.5day phone easily with the 6000mah battery, but for me it's a single day max to max a 12+ (3-4) hour phone

Ok. I also had some battery drain (not on idle tho) and installed Kirisakura kernel, seems to have solved the issue for me. I also wiped Dalvik cahe. It may also have been the solution

You can also try to use the Naptime app, it forces the phone into Doze when screen is off. Adb access or root is needed
GSAM can also be used to find the culprit
If disabling Goog Play Services stops the issue, it's likely linked to one or more running apps or processes. It's likely not Play Services itself but because one or more other components are making calls to it. Try to review all the running apps & services on your device and selectively disable them and gauge the difference. Apps that do a lot of syncing, using location services, excessive notifications (cloud messaging), Firebase indexing, etc etc.... If you have a good app manager tool, that will make the hunt easier.

That's great, will try the kernel coz I still haven't rooted my phone. Does the kernel need root?

Does installing a Kernel need root access? Coz I don't want to root as of now.. and i haven't installed a Kernel ever.. is it riskier than a root?

I think it's because Play Services is running in the background. Try restricting apps. Or you can try recalibrating your battery.

Several apps won't work without play service.
So can't restrict that.
But how to calibrate battery, it will work ?

Yeah that's the use of "Google" apps obviously. Also restricting won't kill the app, it will just load notifications slowly. I mean you said also you change rom but still battery drain continues then yea, your battery might be displaying wrong percentage, calibrating it might help
I would suggest a clean install, to begin with, and mind what the developer says about the firmware needed. I am on ArrowOS 12L and can't tell any battery drain. Installed it 5 days ago and still have 20 odd per cent of battery left, waiting for the first full charge but I do not use any google apps/ services (gapps or else).
I really suggest also flashing latest Vantom kernel from telegram channel. first 4 days no battery drain on Pixel OS, at 5th day it started with 20-30% drain overnight. Then I flashed latest Vantom and until now, no problems anymore
Battery Calibration isnt really a thing anymore, modern batteries dont need it, google that info anytime, however, going into recovery and wiping cache etc, then turn phone off, fully charge battery to 100% before turning phone back on should correct any misreads. Do remember with modern Li Ion batteries, how you treat it will determine how long it lasts, maybe reading an article of 2 about how to look after your battery may help you to maximise its life, or in the end, you find you have a battery with the iphone issue, they end up only charging to about 80% on a full charge.

Just to add guys, its very important not to regularly completely drain your battery, that also can potentially damage it, always a good idea not to let it drop below 10% before fully recharging
I can recommend between 25 and 75 percent charging. In this way I've a old tablet with always display on (dim if not use) and acca charging controller in my house for house control, used 6 years without any problems (battery is still alive)
