My phone dies so quickly it's not even funny. ~20% in 1 hr even after just barely using it.
- Using Android (CoreDroid Nand)
- Bought it second hand, but I've had it for about 4 months.
Should I get a new OEM battery? or is this just normal?

That's not normal amigo.
Get CurrentWidget from the market and see how man mAh it's using, even when the screen's off. Can help diagnose the issue more clearly then.

Have done, and it's often hovering between 4-6 ma during screen off, otherwise, when just playing with animations, it stays below 300-350 ma.
yes you need a new battery. on android my battery lasts from 24-36 hours depending on how much I use the phone.
wrap it up so no moisture can get in then put it in deep freeze over night or 24h, take it out and then let it thaw at room temp and then charge to full.
In some cases this will work and has worked for me on a laptop battery and a phone I had a few years back. They used to die after a hour or so and then after freezing they was back to normal for a good while.
If it works or you get a new battery always make sure never to put it on charge unless its nearly dead, ie 1-5% or max of 10%. If you keep on putting batteries on charge when they are not dead this f*cks them up as some battery types have a sort of memory.

Yeh , i learnt that in my physics class too Make sure that there is no condensation when you put the battery back in the phone.. it could spoil the internals!

Those actually sound normal. What you should do is check how much juice the battery is retaining. Let it charge fully - charge until current widget is reporting single digit charge. Use spare parts to check the battery information. If it's significantly less than 4200mv at full charge then try to wipe the batterystats.bin from /data/system, reboot and charge again. If it's still very low voltage then you need a new battery.

I always wipe batterystats when flashing a new rom, and it's pretty much at 4.2 - 4.22 at full charge
My sd android builds will last 24-36 hours if I don't hardly use it and keep it on standby... that's with getting 4-6ma drain. If I use it, though, it will only last 4-6 hour of straight use, depending on what you're doing. That's with 150-350ma drain during use. So with normal use I can usually make it through a 12-18hr day before charging. I usually carry a spare battery with me just in case though.
Normally, Li-ion batteries life-span is around 300 charges before they start degrading and not holding a charge as well... so if the battery has been used a year, it's probably time for a new battery.
I think this is a great topic. My battery uses about ~350 mA on just browsing internet, and dies within several hours (about 3). At 100% charge it says 4202 mV in spare parts, but dropped to 99% and 4138 mV within next minute. In another nibute it dropped to 98% and 4108 mV. It means battery not holding charge well? Stats were wiped before flashing

Three hours of browsing is not bad - but three hours of continuous screen turned on is a sure battery killer. Have you set your screen to a dim setting, or is it bright?
My battery dies very quickly too, about 4 hours on Android, with heavy usage, and about 2 hours on WP7
I have the official extended battery, though, and also the Cheap Chinese one, so i have backup

Depends. I often keep it on auto. The place I work has very bright lights. I read a lot about HD2 Before I got it. Powerful phone with a tiny battery. On the stand by it actually isnt bad. Eats about less than 1% per hour. With little use, texts and calls, it can last quite a long time. I asume my battery is fine.
What is your mV reading at 100% and less than that?

Dunno. I don't generally check that kind of data. My phone is at 69% right now, mAh is 8694.
NRG ROM includes tBattery. This particular battery showed 12296 MaH at full power, but this is only the first discharge cycle for the battery.

Not true man. On NiMH rechargable batteries (those are really old - I've never actually seen them in phones although I'm sure they were used sometimes... I still see some AA batteries of that kind laying around though) have a memory effect and get screwed if you charge them without depleting the battery life first.
However, we have Li-Io batteries - which, although there's been a lot of controversy, it is basically agreed upon that either it doesn't matter when it's charged or it is actually better NOT to fully discharge (except for around once a month in order to calibrate the battery).
But the freezing the battery thing is pretty cool! I have to try that on a friend's laptop battery that got screwed up!
that is way beyond normal. change your build.

Have done (flash one every couple of days), and still the same problem, also tried what TheAthiest said, but didn't make a dent.
Would Task29 make a difference for this person? Just throwing that out there
Sooo. I have had my Optimus 2X for 2 days now. I charged the phone fullt before goint to bed and left wifi on. (should turn off when phone sleeps)
The first night i lost about 3% of the battery. Great....
But... The second night i lost 42%!!!
I have been trying to investigate the issue and after some digging with spare parts i found out the wifi was on all the time the second night... Also for some reason car home allways runs in the background (starts at boot and restarts if killed) and spare parts claims car home uses the phone sensors 100% of the time.
Anyone else having battery draining issues?
Im going to charge 100% again tonight and run with no installed user apps. If the problem persists i try and freez some of the loads of sys apps that run in the background all the time.
I also noticed some battery drain on mine but not over 40%... its more like 20%. The battery really disappoints me anyway. I have to recharge two or three times a day?l maybe thr battery needs to get trained over time, I hope...
You found a solution yet?

My battery already holds up alot better now, then when i got the phone four days ago.
About 60-70% left after a 14 hour day with some surfing, benching and calling/texting. Much better then my Desire on stock ROM, but still nowhere near the Desire on custom ROM.
Looking forward to some community goodness
BTW, removing carhome.apk seems to make quite the difference.

Same here
Quick question about best used on the battery ...
Should we dry the battery to 0 for the first cycle ?
Or only to 20% ?
Is it bad if we start to charge the phone whent the battery is at 60% ?
On the contrary:
modern Li-Ion batteries don't like it if you discharge them to a minimum. Moreover they don't have the memory effect that you seem concerned about.
In a nutshell: Charge your phone whenever you can, at any charge level. Your battery will thank you.
On the first few charges though, you should always charge to 100% to help the battery gain her full efficiency
hey thx about those informations
but then i'm concerned about people saying stuff like "have been doing 3 life circle" for me it does mean they put the battery dry clean ...
Went to bed with 64% charge on the battery. When I woke up (8 hours later), still 64%.

What's your usage like?
Hmm... My phone last for 6 hours before drained... Had it for a week now... Takes about 2 hours to fully charge up again..
I even hardreset, turned of wifi etc... but alas, 6 hours and it was out of power again...
And that was just by being in standby.
If I actually use the phone, I can see the percentages going down from 100 - 0 in no time..

My battery is useless to. Yesterday ive charged my phone 3 times hehe.
On moday I'll send it to the service as DOA.
Gonna try getting a new battery tomorrow... Hopefully it isnt the phone that is faulty...
2:nd day in my phone lasted about 5.5 h before I hade to recharge. Turned off the option for applications to sync and 20 hours later im at 32%
Is my charging routine bad? Here is my daily recharging
I let it charge over night. By the time I get home its normally in the 60% or so. So its left on all night until about 7am.
Then about half way through my day I charge it again while I'm at on my office. By then the phone is around 70%. So I let it charge to 100% then move on with my day.
So about 2 times a day I charge my phone. Is this healthy for the battery or does it not matter? I'm trying to get the most out of my battery. I seem to burn about 3-4% per hour with it just sitting on desk. Thanks for any advice!

Nothing wrong with that
You are charging twice a day though so you will half as many days until your battery dies. Still a couple of years until it reaches 80% capacity though

Well yeah, but don't worry about it. You'll get another phone by the time you notice a battery drop on this phone.
Ideally you should be charging the phone when the battery gets down to around 40% and charge it to almost full, 97%-99%

I've always felt that the less you charge s phone, the better in the end. And once its done charging, unplug it. So don't leave it charging over night. I have a timer set up so my phone charges only for a few hours a night then shuts off. When I wake up, my phone is usually in the 90%+ range

That's simply not true.
Lithium-Ion batteries are designed to be used - not to be used as permanent storage (thats why batteries in always-coorded laptops die faster)
(storing li-ion batteries should be done at 50% charge, never 100% nor 0%... )
Li-ion batteries should never get below 30% and likewise never hit 100% - The reason why, is because you are stressing the battery the most in the extreme ends... an almost empty cell is stressed when it has to deliver .. and an almost full cell has to charge at higher voltage to reach 100%.
So the best thing you could ever do is to charge from 30% to 95% if possible.
Regarding the amount of charges... with Li-ion you shouldn't think about the AMOUNT of charges, but the SUM OF HOURS that your charge..
so lets say you charge 500 times a year and you in total charge for 500x4 hours = 2000 hours of charging..
the battery usually last for 5.000-10.000 hours of charging ..
The reason why it is so, is because charging li-ion burns the Kathode (or Anode, can never remember) -- and when its all burned off, the battery wont charge anymore ...
Discharging too fast, also burns the Kathode (Anode) !!
Everyone is all over the place in this thread. The two things I will tell the OP to do is not leave the phone plugged in over night, and stay away from 100 and 0% and you will be fine.
But even if the OP keeps treating his battery the way he says, it will be okay. Not ideal, but still okay.
I personally try to keep the phone between 30-80%.

Does the HTC One battery stop charging after it hits 100%? There for no longer having the issue of over charging?
So I'm burning 1.8% per hour according to BBS. Does anyone here know how to decipher the info and tell me what's the culprit?
1.8% per hour? That's not even bad. Round it up to 2%. That's 50 hours. What's wrong with that?

Simply run the battery down to about five to eight percent and let it die. You can speed this up by streaming a YouTube video. Then, when the Moto X has died, let it charge for a few hours before turning it back on.

Never go to zero
Obviously, using your battery is going to make it degrade. But it's going to slowly die even if you just leave that iPad in the closet for a bit. There's a trick to minimizing that inevitable aging though: leave it a little bit of juice.
If you're going to be shelving any lithium-ion battery for a long time, try to leave it with at least 40 percent battery power to tide it over. Lithium-ion batteries don't hemmorage power at 30 percent a month like nickel-metal-hydride batteries do; they'll lose maybe five to ten percent of their charge each month.
And when lithium-ion batteries get too low—like, literally zero percent—they get seriously unstable, and dangerous to charge. To prevent explosion-type disasters if you do try to charge one, lithium-ion batteries have built-in self-destruct circuits that will disable (read: destroy) the battery for good, if it reaches rock bottom. And sure, that'll save you from a face full of battery-acid, but it'll also leave you short one battery.

Always have heard it is bad to drain the battery in a phone. I know other people swear by it, but its not worth the risk of it not charging again, or worse blowing up.
Charging sooner doesn't hurt since there is no "charge memory" like nickle based batteries. so just plug it in when you can, and if you your away from an outlet for too long, maybe it time to consider an external battery backup.
OP, here's another thread that has been discusing the same issue, its a good read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418077
I burn around 6% after the last update, with no other changes to the phone. And that's with Battery Saver on too. Used to be around 1.5 to 3%. Everyone said "just wait, this always happens after an update, it will eventually settle out". Total BS. My daily battery life has been cut in half for months.
Well I did a better battery stats 6 hours test ( let it sit no touching etc ) and Im only at 1% an hour. Im pretty happy with that.
I've tweaked the crap out of my phone....and get 24+ hours with 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hour screen times. Extremely happy......and best I've got on standby is 1ish per hour.
Again....tweaked the crap out....for battery life. LOL. So 1 percent even may take sacrifices some may not wanna make. I'd say a stock sorta phone would get 2 even and you'd be doing alright.

wow you guys are getting great battery life! According to GSam Battery Monitor, I'm at 9.7%/hour. Currently 6 hours since unplugged and I'm at 35%! With only 2 hours of screen on time.
I think I messed it up when I first got the phone. I immediately upgraded to the 2 OTA's and forgot to do a factory reset. I think I might do one now and see if it fixes the battery life.

Hi all,
I having issue with my note 9, and I’m new to using note, is a 4% drain normal? Unplug at 12am and not use since and this morning I check battery was at 96% at 6.45am
How long have you had it. It takes some time for it to do battery optimizations but that drain doesn't seem too bad.
tat is only my 2nd or 3rd charge, have it only for 2 or 3 day
I have been draining about .7% an hour since I got it. I wish it was little bit better but the SOT more than makes up for it.
Sorry, but what is SOT? Screen on time?
So now on android ppl use SOT to measure if a battery usage is normal?

Wow I'm telling you some of you people have some really unrealistic expectations. Your complaining your phone looses a few percent in 6-8 hours. What do you expect? If you don't want your battery to drain then turn off your phone or plug it in. And then don't come complain you miss calls or have to have it plugged in all the time becusse your worried about a few percent while you sleep.
YoshiYino said:

Preferable to not leave it plugged in at night if you want to lessen the longevity of your battery.
~.7% an hour is not bad. With root and older phones I was able to lessen to 2-3% per 7-8h. Ideally that is what you want, less than .5% an hour. But we don't have root. Other ways to get less drain at night during sleep is to turn off sync or airplane mode or better yet turn your phone off. But as I said .7% an hour is all day for me in standby. I don't even know what it is at night, probably less.
I've been getting well over 10h SOT and had another hour or two of SOT left should I have chosen to drain down to <5% battery. I have been able to get 8h+ SOT over 36h on a charge. Your expectations are unrealistic as are many others on here. Be realistic or get another phone.

That's interesting has to be a app causing the drain what third party apps do you have installed? the screen res wouldn't affect anything in terms of battery life because the screen is off. I charged last night and I'm at 16 percent right now on WQHD almost been 22hrs since I charged my phone

Preferable to not leave it plugged in at night if you want to lessen the longevity of your battery.
~.7% an hour is not bad. With root and older phones I was able to lessen to 2-3% per 7-8h. Ideally that is what you want, less than .5% an hour. But we don't have root. Other ways to get less drain at night during sleep is to turn off sync or airplane mode or better yet turn your phone off. But as I said .7% an hour is all day for me in standby. I don't even know what it is at night, probably less.
I've been getting well over 10h SOT and had another hour or two of SOT left should I have chosen to drain down to <5% battery. I have been able to get 8h+ SOT over 36h on a charge. Your expectations are unrealistic as are many others on here. Be realistic or get another phone.

10hrs of SOT? That's crazy I think 6 was the most but this battery definitely gets the job done for me

Wow I'm telling you some of you people have some really unrealistic expectations. Your complaining your phone looses a few percent in 6-8 hours. What do you expect? If you don't want your battery to drain then turn off your phone or plug it in. And then don't come complain you miss calls or have to have it plugged in all the time becusse your worried about a few percent while you sleep.

That's interesting has to be a app causing the drain what third party apps do you have installed? the screen res wouldn't affect anything in terms of battery life because the screen is off. I charged last night and I'm at 16 percent right now on WQHD almost been 22hrs since I charged my phone

Everything up to 1%/h is normal, if it's over then worry.

Change the resolution to WQHD+, the power saving is too little to worth the downgrade of screen quality. Tested on s7e,s8+ and s9+ and read about it for note 9.
Also worth to note that iphones tend to show less drain at high percentages and then speed up after below 60%, i.e. if you leave the iphone over night with 30% battery, most likely it will drop 1-2%. Still, iphones standby is a little bit better vs android and samsungs. I achieved 1% drop over night or non in M8 android 4.4 times, not since them. My best is around 0.3%/h via root and custom tweaking, for samsung stock it's normal to have 0.4-1%/h. Hope that brings some clarity.
