My wifi is on. I don't turn it off/on manually and never needed to, not sure what you are asking.
Phone is not on the charger every night because it doesn't need to be. It lasts >1 day many times and I charge it to 100% using quick charge which only takes 1-2hrs.

if you arent using wifi overnight, turn it off, youll get 1-5% drain overnight. and better yet, leave it on the charger overnight, youll start each day with 100%. it wont hurt your phone, and you wont have the battery drain. easy solution.

Keeping it on the charger prevents the Doze option from kicking in. Mind you I also charge over night but also keep my wifi on all night as I dont want to use my carrier data when I dont need to.

I've never gotten this drain with wifi on with any other phone, and I don't want to use my carrier data if I don't need to. Keeping wifi off also causes the phone to hunt for carrier signals.

If its on the charger, why would it need doze?
It was all just an illusion
Is this a question or an observation?
why wouldn't you just put it on the charger and leave wifi on?
no battery drain, no data useage, issue solved...

The whole point of doze is because people dont put their phone on their charger over night. Well most dont. Other then that the device is never really sitting on a flat surface for enough time for doze to kick in. Very few charge while they sleep. I am not sure why but you see it all the time.

while doze does make it much better now, everybody that i know, and i mean everybody, charges their phone overnight. and dose isnt for those that dont charge overnight, mostly. its mostly for those that have their phone on them all day, and need that extra power, but are away from the charger. if around a charger, please charge, bump charging does not hurt, it only helps. dose is for everyone that needs the extra charge

Doze only works when it is sitting on a flat surface for a long time. Unless you sit at a desk all day that is not gonna happen during a normal everyday life.

I gotta agree with Simms; every one I can think of also charges their phone on the charger overnight..
Like Z said, "doze" means something to those who can lay their phone on a flat surface untouched during the day, but not sure how many folks can actually do that..
there you go, learned something new today. doze on a flat surface only :good:
so, it'll never be of any use to me :angel:
I've tried it as a test overnight, and it does make a difference, but, in real life use, its useless to me too..

this seems like a good spot for new development.
maybe make something to force doze all the time, and be able to white list apps and set time frames.

Under advanced WiFi settings, can you set it do WiFi is off when the screen is off?
I don't use wifi when I sleep, more so I switch to airplane mode every night, it's better to keep it that way by my head, since I use it as my alarm clock. I don't need cell either for the night we have a land line. So I keep both wifi and data on the whole time I'm awake, and with this I get 3 days battery time.
And I only charge it during evenings, never at nights beside my bed.

Not that much, I use it to receive all my work and private mail, I use Skype, and check Tapatalk when I'm not at my computer. My day job is by a computer for at least 8 hours, then I don't use my phone much. But I delete all unwanted mail, as it arrives.
Now it's on 71% with 1h10m of SOT, 8 minutes of Lara Croft, some Spider Solitaire, but it's undetectable in the list, and I used it for navigation when I tried to go around a traffic incident.

Hey,
I thought updated firmware fixed the stock messaging battery issue?
My phone had a full charge and 2 hours later, 15 texts sent/received, im down to 87% Just unlocking my screen now, i went from 89% to 87%!!
What is going on!! I have SMS popup.
I was just looking up stuff because my phone lately has been draining fast and I really have not been using it. I am at 65% and I have barely been using it today.It came off the charge at 10 and it's 12:30 now. Something is up. I can't seem to find an app that tells me which apps are using data in the background cause I think that might be my problem. Also, I checked Spare Parts and it said Facebook was Partially Awake for over 30 mins with only 14 hours up time. Hmm. I don't even have Facebook set to auto sync.

Post your up and awake times.
I've had this issue since I had this phone. I go to school with 100% charge at 8:30 and by the time I get out 12:30 it's usually around 55-65% with very limited usage. I've had fresh rom, modaco, and all the available aosp roms and it's the same issue no matter what so I just learned that if I want this phone it's has to live on the charger when I don't use it.

How many bars do you get in the classroom? Poor phone signal will drain a phone very fast. There's a couple conference rooms here where I work in the basement where phones get no signal and I see the battery on my phone drain much faster. This happened on all my previous phones as well (HTC Mogul, Diamond, etc.).

In school.....
how does it perform outside of school.. when you are at home on weekends or other places????
I am only guessing here..
but at big university, the buildings are very big.. and sometimes in hard to get receptions areas...
so, the phone might be looking for the phone network, and that will drain the battery very fast...
sorry, where can I find up and awake times? Total newbie I know...
I found "Time spent without sleeping: 36 Minutes"
I also noticed that my battery is at 73% now for SysTray Monitor but the HTC battery icon is nowhere near 1/4th gone. Looks like 1/10th is gone.
battery drain at school
another thing to consider is that if the school has wifi available and your's is turned on on the phone, it may be connecting or attempting to connect, to the school's wifi. just a thought. i tend to turn mine off, as well as my bluetooth headset, when i go to work. seems to help, but i also have a battery drain problem. this doesn't solve it, but, like i said, it helps. i also turn my screen off manually, rather than just setting it down and letting the screen turn off automatically. every bit of energy saved helps, but it will only get about 25-50 percent better. doesn't completely solve the battery drain problem. if anyone finds a sure-fire way to solve this problem, please post and post and post. i've seen this problem arise all over the place on XDA as well as other sites. may even start a new thread with the solution so it will pop up in the search.

I guess this isn't something I have not really looked at but now it does make sense, b/c in some rooms it is hit or miss so i'll just throw it into airplane mode when i'm indoors and see how that goes. Thanks
by the way...
i am also experiencing a situation where when i plug my phone in to charge, it will charge regularly through about 80%, then it seems to fly through the last 20% within a matter of minutes. it was at 82% last night when i checked it (it was already on the charger for about an hour). then i put a bowl of soup in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. when my soup was done i just happened to look at my phone, and it was already up to 96%! that just can't be accurate. something is causing it to either charge improperly or the battery charge reading is somehow inaccurate. anyone else experiencing this strangeness when charging that also has the battery drain problem? as many times as i've seen these problems posted together, they have got to be related to each other.
There is an option to wipe the battery in Recovery.
Charge the phone fully, and then Wipe the battery while it is still 100% charged. This will help the battery reflect a more accurate percentage.

well, are you guys using modaco's custom ROM or kernel? there's an issue with the power management that HTC didn't include when the released the kernel... but i'm not completely sure what causes it.
I bought a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus on Friday and spent the weekend adding movies, music, etc..So far, I love the device.
Last night I set it on my desk with about 86% battery left but did not plug it in and did not turn it off. I simply let it sleep...
When I got up this AM, it was unresponsive as the batter had completely drained. I have no way of knowing why this happened since the device went off completelya nd any programs I may have left running were no longer running of course.
Is this normal for an unusde device overnight? Anyone else experience this? Should I return it?
Thank You!

I suppose you also let the WiFi and BT run also ? If yes, then it's absolutely normal If no, you should check what apps you had running in the background... and as a golden rule : use the night to recharge and the day to use it.
Yes thanks. I did leave WiFi on but no BT. I typically do charge my devices overnight but just forgot last night so the batter drain was a little worrisome. I will try it again tonight without WiFi on and see if that makes a difference. Thank You!

Hi,
Not the slightest idea What apps are you running ? What is running in the background ? Basically, I've never heard about ABD having a battery issue, unless your battery is damaged somehow. Maybe you should try a battery-widget to check the system on battery-hogs and/or uninstall everything the reinstalling one by one testing battery lifetime.

Hi,
my left my P6200 to charge like 5 hours but it still won't reach 100% full. its only close to 85%. I start charging it around 20%.
Device is off when charging.
any idea how long does it takes to fully charge it?
and another thing is the area around the Sim card and Memory card slots area heats up at the back cover quite easily when use.
anyone experience these?

When i run my phone empty (1%) and it turns itself off, when i put in on the charger it's very difficult to turn it on!
its very annoying! is there a trick to make the phone turn off with 2 or 3% battery left? that way you will be able to turn on the phone the minute you charge it.

Yeah well, you know this, but yet you let your phone drain till that level, you're just asking for it. It's also bad for the battery to let it drain till that point. You can let it drain till that level but not too often.
For you it might not be a good thing, but such a system is actually better for the phone.

You are not really helping are you....
this happens to me daily, because the phone won't last an entire day. not if you use it as much as i do. And i use greenify, stamina and turn off wifi etc. so battery saving isn't the solution.
I was just asking if it is possible to make it turn of sooner (which would be better for the battery right?) then at 1%

Well it is supposed to be not even good to let the battery drain fully. It says to almost empty by like 5% u should charge it. Os Ur own fault u let it drain until it is dead and then complain it won't turn on. Hmm of it is empty it makes sense doesn't it?

I'll see if tasker can do it for me (i use AutomateIt right now, maybe it has a function)
and unlike many here, when i'm at work i don't constantly check my phone to see if the battery is allmost dead. And i don't have the luxury to always charge. And syncing email/whatsapp etc drains the battery pretty quickly in standby mode

Not one to stir an argument, however you're saying you don't constantly check your phone whilst at work. Why do you need it to constantly sync stuff? The way I see it (And forgive me if I'm getting ahead of myself) if you aren't checking your phone, why do you need it to sync so much? The easy answer is to not have it sync as often.
Whilst in principal I understand your question, I just don't understand why you have it syncing so often if you aren't checking it that often? My XZ is checked regularly and I have atleast 30% battery 15-16 hours after unplugging from overnight charge. I sync every 6 hours on weather, 30 minutes on Twitter, manual for Facebook, Gmail every 15 minutes I think, WiFi is off when not in range and I do internet surfing/calls/texts/whatsapp etc at will.
Whilst I'm not a prolific battery user, I certainly use the phone more than average (based on people's own phone usage claims).
If you aren't checking your phone (which you would be seeing the battery anyway) why not change to manual syncing as it'll only connect when you actually have chance to check the phone....
As for the answer to your conundrum, I agree it would be better to have it shut down sooner I.e before its critical; you're right about how long a drained battery seems to take to have enough juice to turn it on.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yeah Ur phone should easily last a whole day if u don't check all the time and I agree u don't need to have everything syncing constantly. Like every hour maybe for Ur emails? I don't know I run 5 emails and they sync every hour. Besides Gmail that does it automatically. And I have kik and whatsapps and still get easily a day out of it. If u don't check Ur phone often then I do not know how Ur battery can even drain that fast and why Ur stuff has to sync constantly. I am puzzled.

I am stock. Not rooted.
I have restored the phone to factory settings thinking it will help it. But it hasn't.
I have tried the completely stock and immediately the Android os was keeping phone awake. Then I started disabling Verizon apps, unnecessary g9ogle apps and still I have the os keeping phone awake about 6-7 hours per charge.
What should I do? I've dealt with this on my old nexus 4 and haven't been able to figure out why Android phones are plaged with this Android os wakelock.
I believe this all started when I got the 25b ota. After that I've done a factory restore. I don't have Verizon so I'm not getting any more ota for 26A. Is there a way I can manually flash the newer rom?
No answer for you, but just wanted you to know my battery life with the last 4.4 upgrade just the other day is now miserable. Can not make it a day. Use to be able to get like 2 days. Thinking about just selling the phone, and buying something new cause of it.

Have it installed.. even installed greenify yesterday to see if that helps.. Wiped some of one of the batteries average length per charge and started it fresh today, so I am going to chase it down I hope. Battery shows it's Android. Note 4 anyone? Have to pay full price for it though, can't justify 700 bucks. But I do have a trip coming up where I have to be gone for 2 weeks.. so maybe then?

Looking at the second set of shots, are you on a public/work wifi network? The wlan wakes are what's keeping your phone from sleeping. That can be caused by things like DHCP queries from the network waking it up, etc.. My battery life takes a hit when I use our open network at work, constantly woken up by the wireless lan.
Are you having the same issues off wifi?

Yeah, I normally don't run wifi. I just happened to turn it on today at work. I can let it sit for another 30 mins or so and do the same thing. Phone is at 57% screen on time of 1 hour, I use to get at least 4-5 a while back.
Add me to the list.. I'm stock and after the update a few weeks ago this turd heats up lots, freezes, re-draws home screens VERY slowly, Swype effs up badly now and my battery life is literally about cut in half. This is all after a factory reset after taking the update.

...as I said, I'm stock. My wife has the same phone and hers has no problem, or so she claims. However, her phone is nothing more than a window into the world of Pintrest and Facebook whereas I actually use my device constructively.
I just took the plunge, flashed back to 24a, re rooted, upgrade to 26a, and now it is much better.
Tried to post a pic.. but it is too annoying
26h 20min battery usage,
@24%
screen on time of 3hours.
That is much more in line in what I got when it was new.
So just running it all the way down, 33.5hours of usage @ 5% battery left, 3.5 hours of screen on time.
Much better.
I'll try to grab the battery pics, since I know no one will believe it..
You might want to fresh flash.. not sure what got messed up.. or if it was an app. Even though it was listed as Android system stuff.

Which application do you use to track battery usage?

Pretty sure I was just using the stock battery tracker at the time.
I can't figure out why after complete off my phone still drains battery like 20% in 24 hours.
How i figured? I charged phone to 100%. Switched off and left home for a week.
After coming back i found phone dead to zero and it took me some efforts to make it alive.
Then i decided that maybe i left it on. I took sim card away, charged to full, wiped and off.... After 24 hours i switched on and found thta phone drained 20%.
Phone SM-N950W
Any suggestions on what it might be?
Batteries discharge over time by themselves, but not at the rate you obseved, the phone, even when off, also uses energy to keep some things running, as time and date and a service watching the power button among others, but, again, at a lower rate than you are experimenting
Install Greenify and Naptime.

If you have powered off your device, there shouldn't be any power drain.

I understand that it should not, but it is.
I can't understand how is it possible.
When phone is on, it behave like it should be with 4.5 hours screen on time and like working day with average load. But when i turn phone off, no matter what happen it consume 20% in 24 hours.
I tried to look threads with similar problem but all i could find related to switched on phone.
I guess its time to visit service center.

Yeah I would go to a service center. I don't think the battery is literally draining 20% when off, it's more likely an issue with the battery capacity itself not holding a full charge like it should. Still, that would require service.

I think you misunderstood the post. His phone is off. As in, it's not on. Not just put to sleep or the screen is off. The device is completely and entirely switched off. These apps won't do anything if the device is off.

In short I visited Service Center today. They told that battery is fine and the issues in Motherboard. Since I live in Exynos region no chance for me to fix this. Internals of the phone are different.
To send phone in Canada from Russia is unreasonable. So I have to accept this and live further.

No I didn't! My SGS 2 that had the same inexplicable battery drain when switched off. The battery got into deep discharge. As the battery was removable, I modified an AC adaptor with the same voltage to "kick start" the battery. That worked a couple of times. In the end I had to say good bye to my first Samsung phone. What actually led to the discharge was never discovered. I only remember that the phone got wet during a day long cycle tour. 6 months later the problem developed. That's why I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem. I hope this guy gives us a feed back if he finds out what the problem was. Cheers LJ

I wasn't replying to you, now was I? I quoted someone else whom I was replying to, as Sefrcoko also mentioned.
