Does anyone have any issues with battery life drained by media server? I left it on standby last night and it drained 30% of my battery with wifi, gps and 3g off. I went to battery status and saw that it ran for 1h:24m during the night in stand by. I didn't listened to any music and the phone was on vibrate
I'm getting this on the leaked Scandinavian Froyo. No idea what causes it, but very annoying to see the battery get eaten like this!
I know there's a million posts about battery life sucks on the LG Thrill.
At first, I agreed.
But now I've had my Thrill just over 2 weeks. And it seems to last longer.
Not sure if it just needed time to break-in or what.
But I use my phone to sync with my company exchange server and sync contacts, calendar, emails (with about 150 emails a day). I also sync a personal email account, use Twitter, FB, News, Stocks, and Weather widgets with regular updates. (I rarely make phone calls)
It's about 12 hours unplugged now and the battery still shows full. I think 2 weeks ago it would have been near half.
I thought I'd throw this comment out there for anyone else that experienced poor battery life. Maybe give it two weeks and see if it gets better.
If your battery shows 100% after 12hours of use, I would think there's something wrong with the actual battery indicator software or whatnot.
Personally, using it very lightly with Superpower throttling down the CPU + shutting down wifi + data after 30s, the battery drops to 70% after 3hours of use. I would listen to some music for about 10-15mn in that 3h period, maybe browse xda for 5mn total.
I had the phone for about 10days now...

Maybe the poster meant that the battery icon itself showed full because it's still got a decent charge despite it not being at 100%.
I actually noticed the battery life thing as well the longer I have had the device the better the battery life has gotten. I actually got around 20 hrs. on a full battery charge before I hit 15% so I think a Lot has to due with the way you use the phone. If your a media freak (Streaming Music, Bluetooth Headphones, Wi-Fi, Data always on, etc) than yea your battery will drain quite fast. I usually have bluetooth turned Off, Wi-Fi Turned Off when not near wi-fi that I access because Wi-Fi will constantly look for a signal which in turn drains the hell out of your battery, and Data turned off considering half the apps out there like to access data (In bed with ATT anyone) and I only have 200mb of data per month plus it saves on battery life.
Hey i having little issue about battery life.
those stuff drains alot of battery
sometimes 30% / 40%
how to get it lower?
well i listen musics often every day during hours
may it have consequences?
According to the Battery thread in this forum, some people experience a high overnight battery drain, and some get a low one.
I am currently a member of the high club. For battery testing, I have most things turned off, like location services and google now. Last night overnight drain (8 hours) took the battery from 76% to 58%... 18%. On my previous phone, the HTC One, the overnight drain would be around 6%.
I am curious about the people who are getting low (~5%) overnight drains. Do they all have Wifi off? What is their secret?! Do tell.

Install better battery stats to monitor what's going on. I think the one night I left it off charge over night I lost maybe 6-8% but I slept for like 10+ hours. This is with google now on, gps on, wifi on.
What i'm testing now that I think will actually improve batt life is having wifi turn off when display is off (unless plugged in). I think I noticed less idle drain at home when I did this but it was temporary. Giving it a shot over a few days now.
I leave wifi on and I get less than 5% drain. Nothing syncs when my screen is off except notification weather pro every two hours and Yahoo weather

Personally I think the X and new droids have idle drain issues. Even when better battery stats shows nearly 100% deep sleep overnight, I still lose 8-10%. In comparison, on my HTC One mini, which is setup EXACTLY the same as my X in terms of installed apps, syncing accounts, running services, etc., I lose only 2-3% overnight. The number of people complaining about the issue seems to confirm it is more widespread than on other recent phones, as do the countless screenshots showing unusually high android OS usage in battery stats.

I honestly believe it will be patched with the Camera.
I'm having the same issue. People are reporting crazy battery stats with like 20+ hours of use 2+ hours of screen on and like 20% battery left. I get MAYBE 12 hours of use and 2 hours of screen on and 20-25% left. My mediaserver is keeping the phone awake for almost an hour+ each day, and without root I can't figure out how to stop it. I always have GPS/Google Now/Bluetooth off, too.
I thought the drain was related to Wifi. But last night WiFi was turned off for the night and I still got 18% battery drain in about 8 hours.
Wifi at home and overnight. I get about 5% drain... however, the wifi at work kills my phones battery with the wlan wakelock.
Maybe there is something going on with the X and certain wifi networks?

Interesting theory but my overnight idle drain was approximately the same on both LTE and WiFi. 10-15%.

How about turning off all radios (flight mode) and observe battery drain at night. Then turning wifi while on flight mode the next night and see the battery drain and so on until you can pin point what causes the most drain.

Hey there, so recently I got a Note8 since my mom switched to a Galaxy Note20 Ultra and she gave me her old phone since I had a J3 before. She had it for 2 years and now when it was given to me I found some extreme battery draining issues, I watched MrWhoseTheBoss' video and in 1 hour the Note8 drained to 91% however in 1 hour MY Note8 drains to about 60%-40%. Also when I'm not using it the battery drops like I'm playing Asphalt 8. Any solution to this? I checked battery usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. The highest usage is Instagram at 2-hour drops 20% but I only use it at night and this battery problem is during the day. For most of the school, I keep it in my pocket and only use to listen to music. The battery still drops extremely fast. My friend has an S8 and his battery is much better than mine.
All I need to know is if this is a software issue, or a hardware issue as the battery sometimes runs out and I boot it up to 15% or something close to that.
If it's a software issue please help me down in the comments, I have turned off location, limited CPU speed to 70%, and disabled background usage.
Thanks.

It sounds to me that you need a battery replacement.

This is normal in my opinion. Even if the battery was only a year old, I'd say that is normal without proper power management.
My note8 is the same and the owners they had it before me, i don't know how much they played games with it, but how much i know about tech my note8 have never changed that battery and never was open back cower and the battery is still good up to two days average use, but i don't use apps like twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any social apps, only Viber that's all, the twitter, Facebook, or other thing i check on web-browser and that why battery should bee good.
The apps i mention up, i consider them partly spyware, battery-mongers, personal data movement mongers.
Btw, make a screenshot of your phone screen,\battery usage after the battery has drain to about 20% so we can see if we can have any conclusion to it, and pres this code (*#21*#) and call in keypad, make screenshot to see if someone is lurking on that phone on background.
