battery life

I have a samsung captivate running P5. I noticed though that the phone loves to consume the energy quickly. Are there ways we can do so that battery stays longer? I noticed that even if I didn't use it for an hour, there is a drop of 3%.
I've already brought down the brightness to 0. I am not using live wallpaper.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to reset your battery stats. There should be a bunch of posts on this topic outlining the steps required if you do a search.
Goodluck.

Yup, I did that after I installed P5. Then I charged it to 100% while it was ON. When it was FULL, I turned it OFF and charged it again to 100%. It didn't help.
Should I consume the battery first and retry it?

Yup try to do the calibration by draining then re-charging to 100%.
BUT... you might want to do a few other things to improve on Batt life.
Turn off Wireless/GPS when not in use.
If you have a ton of widgets running.. try and trim them down. Make sure your updates on your widgets isn't "real time" and try and set them for an 1hr or more for pulling updates.
Also goes if you have a ton of applications installed - odds are one or more is attempting to always run in the background and pulling/pushing information and that would cause battery drain.

should I delete battery stats again?

Update:
I made sure it was 10% battery remaining before I deleted the battery stats in recovery mode. I rebooted it and booted it to normal and charged it. I wait until it notified me of 100% full. When it did, I removed the charger and turned it off. I charged it again. The battery icon was full green. I think after 5 mins, it sounded again saying it was completely charged. The battery icon was also gone so it was just black screen.
Today, I removed all the widgets. I turned off GPS and Wireless. I'm using a plain wallpaper. I don't have any scheduled backup. I monitored it for 6 hours and the drop in percentage is 2.75% every hour. That's without my usage. So looks like after 36 hours(1.5 days) without usage, the phone will be dead.
So what process is eating up the battery so fast? Is there an app that can create a report which will show battery consumption?
How long does Captivate last? Is it the same?

I was playing around with creating shortcuts on my home screen and found there is an activity under Settings that shows battery history.
Long press home screen>Shortcuts>Activities>Settings>Scroll down a way to find Battery History (com.android.settings.battery_history.BatteryHistory)
See if that helps you find a drain.

That is so cool!!!

so I noticed wifi was the top 1 consumer. So does wifi sucks up battery power really big?

I suggest that you change the gallery app to the one from the market called gallery 3d. Then find on the forum the samsung galaxy tab email apk. Just delete the old ones and install these. The old ones got bugs that suck the juice of the phone wayy to much. Aftee that if you're still experiencing high drain then try to turn of wifi

I was downloading it and it was at 27%. I cancelled it because I was on AT&T network. I wanted to use my wifi. I redownloaded it again but it's failing to install now. Is there a cache that I need to clean?

Same here. Gallery 3D says "installation unsuccessful" even on repeated tries! Anyone help please. I am installing directly from Market App.
I am using "[ROM][Spaceman] aospMOD v 1.1" ROM.

What I noticed is that it only downloaded 490k and the information about this app says it's 0.96mb in size. We're missing half the size.

Thanks. However, what should I do with this apk file? I'm sorry, I'm new it.

I figured out what I need to install apk files. I installed AppInstaller. I executed AppInstaller and chose the Gallery3D.apk that I put on the root of the sdcard. I clicked Install button and it's giving me an error.
"Application not installed"
What should I do?

can you please post the MD5 checksum of this file so I can compare it to mine?
That will help a lot in troubleshooting.
Thanks.

I am so pleased with my new settings and results. In an hour, the usage in percentage was only 1% compared to my previous 3%.
The only thing I changed is "Disable all animations". The WiFi is still on.
Update:
After 6 hours: 10% was consumed compared to previous 16%. It's better but hopefully we can still make it better.

Mine is also using 4-5%/hour when idle. I'll go to sleep..7 hours later its about 35% down. I look in battery usage and it seems odd that the display is still the "top user" even though the phone has been off all night. I uninstalled a couple of recent apps: Pageonce Travel and Lookout, but that hasn't seemed to make a difference. Haven't changed any settings in the last couple weeks..pretty frustrating

Battery drain due to RILJ. (Solved!)

Hi everybody,
I have seen quite a number of users get troubled and complain about high battery drain in JB roms. Most of them have used BetterBattery or other applications and found that RILJ seems to be the culprit. But I haven't seen anyone suggest a solution until now.
So I spent sometime tinkering with the settings and found that on CM10 roms (and may be others as well) turning off the Background Location Reporting removes the RILJ wakelock and stops the battery drain. The reason I guess is that since RILJ might be responsible for providing approximate location (using cell tower identification) it maintains a wakelock to do so.
I am using PA 2.10 so the following instructions are based on that. Other roms should have similar steps.
Here's how you turn Background Location Reporting off.
1. Go to System Settings
2. Under accounts, select Google/Maps and Latitude
3. Maps will fire up and it should show the Location Settings screen.
4. On the top tap Location Reporting and select Do not update your location.
That's it.
Now observe BetterBattery for a few hours and you should see a significant change in the listings and also battery drain. For me battery consumption went from ~1% per 3-5 mins on idle to ~1% per hour on idle.
One side effect of this change (I am guessing) could be that Google Now might not be able to show the location triggered cards. So take your pick on what is more important for you, battery life or value added services.
Cheers

Just come across this via CM forums - I'm on I9100, but I guess it's the same thing. Trying this for a few hours to see what happens. I've seen a dramatic increase in battery usage over the past few days, strangely just after the most recent Maps update...
Quick update - turning that off doesn't change anything for me. Looks like Google Now still knows where I am and therefore there's another setting checking my location. I'm going to try turning Google Now off for a bit too.
Update again: it's not Google Now for me either. Need to do some further looking to try and track down what the exact request is!

good job

Thanks to the RILJ, my battery drain is 10% per hour right now and I'm going to try this solution immediately. Thanks a lot!

Ahalford has already done an indepth research on this subject and summarized all the wakelocks with possible solutions for each, RIL is one of them...

I really am close to killing myself due to sadness and disappointment because of my phone's battery life. lol. I have a Galaxy Note 2(4.1.1 ver) and my battery lasts for 12-16 hours. I use it mostly for Facebook, Google, Viber and YouTube. I have other typical social networking/comm apps (YM,Skype, Instagram,Twitter) but I dont use them often. I have less than 10 games (Temple Run2, Angry Birds, Diamond Dash) but I dont play for more than 15 mins. I have observed that when my phone is NOT in use, it decreases by 7-10% per hour during the day. At night, before I go to sleep, it is a fully charged phone and when I wake up, 25% of the battery's life is gone within 8hrs of not touching it even to check the time. I dont know if its the normal draining rate of the battery, if its a factory defect on the battery or the phone itself, or if it is the app or android system. My phone is just 4 days old, or maybe 5. Im hoping when the phone turns a week old, things will be better. Or should I try to kill myself now?
PS. I really want to try the solution given above coz upon reading it I realized that viber/fb etc is now showing my location. but i cant seem to find this on my phone. Can someone help me pleaseeeeee.

Alternative way to pick "Do not update your location"

Alternative method for turning on the setting "Your location is not updated":
1) Open the google maps app.
2) Press the physical "menu" button on your phone to get into settings for maps.
3) Click on settings in the menu that pops up.
4) Click on "Location Settings" in the menu that comes up.
5) Wait a second for "Location reporting" to update.
6) Click on "Location reporting".
7) Choose the "Do not update your location" option.
8) You're done.
This is how I did this on my Galaxy S3 and it seems to have fixed the RILJ wakelock issue I've been getting. It was waking up the cpu almost 300 times an hour. Hope it works for you.

[Q] proces.android.acore constantly uses more cpu - until reboot

Hello community
I know there are hunderets of threads about the acore proces out there. but none of them seems to be related with my problem.
My acore proces uses a lot of my cpu and therefore my battery drains very fast.
(you can see what happens in the screenshot attached. every time the graph begins from zero i rebooted my phone)
My config:
I9070 - Stock 2.3.6, rooted, supercharged
Go Launcher & Go Locker
so what I hve done until now:
- cleared all my contacts (someone stated that contact sync could cause this)
- unsupercharged
- used another launcher & locker
- even reflashed stock rom
the acore proces is used from different apps like digi clock, go locker and go launcher.
maybe someone has another idea how I could get the cause of my problem...
until now I used battery mix and ASI to get the info.
Thank you in advance!

This is android main proces from framework. It doesnt make difference to battery and working in background. You can see it as android os in battery info.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

but its behaviour is not normal, is it?
you can see the android os proces as well in battery mix. and when I open ASI I can see which proces is "hiding" in the acore one. the battery consumption was not that high as I bought the phone. at first my battery lasted for at least two days, now its not even 10 hours. also the battery consumption in sleep mode is beyond normal - if I unplug my phone in the morning and dont wake it up the battery is drained by 25% after 3 hours...
i am searching a way how I can get more info about that drainage...

Thank you for your support! Make sure you have "Hide system processes" unticked in Battery Mix.
I found something else that may could help me: "adb logcat"
There are strange things going on when my phone is in "sleep" mode...
This is what happens while my battery drains 1%: Pastebin
Somehow my softkeys are turned on and off the whole time the phone is in my pocket. I have a slight clue that NoLED is causing the drainage.
I now disabled the background light of my softkeys and uninstalled NoLED. (although I already had NoLED Disabled for a whole day and the problem persisted)
Will post results!

Battery draining after oreo updat

Hello everyone,
I received Oreo update 3 days ago and I have noticed that my battery is draining since that update. For instance, when I use facebook it drains by 1% every 2 minutes and it was not like that before update. What should I do?
I really need to go back to nogut.
Any help?

I had the same when I first installed Oreo.
Then I went to Settings, Device maintenance , Battery, Battery usage and found that android system drained my battery. I un-ticked "Allow background activity" and fixed draining.
You may also give it some time to calibrate battery measurement.
After 6 days with Oreo, I can say it's a little bit better than Nougat regarding battery.

Do you use the built-in app power monitor in settings/battery?

Use Betterbatterystats to see what's going on. Additionally, try a day or two with wifi turned off. I had huge battery drains on nougat when wifi was on and with it off I got 5 days on a single charge!! Maybe the same bug carries over to Oreo? Not sure, but worth a try if you can afford the data usage.

I'm having the same issue, and it's not like Device Maintenance and BetterBatteryStats are showing anything suspicious at all. One night idle time is nice, then on other nights i find it having a decrease of 15%.

Your Android System drain is way too high...something wrong there for sure...

If you haven't already, do a full wipe/ factory reset. This fixes most problems, including battery drain, after a major update.

Wow!! Android system is killing it. Dude, I had the same issue on nougat. Not sure if it'll work on Oreo, but try it: turn off wifi completely. Use cellular if you can for a day or two. Do this after a full recharge so battery stats have resetted so you can see if that makes a difference.
Also, use Betterbatterystats and give it permissions on adb. Post screenshots from that. The one you posted already isn't telling at all.

I downgraded it to Nogut and I think I am fine now. F**k this update. I think this company is intending this sh*t to push up its sales.

Fix for battery drain for Note 8 after upgrading Oreo
1) Go to settings
2) Go to Apps
3) Click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
4) Select "Reset App Preferences"
5) Power your phone off and on again and the battery draining problem should be fixed.

Have you tried it on your own ?

Yes. I am on my phone right now and have been on YouTube this evening with normal battery drain. After the update yesterday my battery was draining for no reason and I had to charge my phone three times. I remembered this fix from the last update when I didn't want to reset my device. I figured it had something to do with all of the Apps utilizing my location, so I wanted to do a reset of the Apps without resetting my device and it worked.

Battery life after December update

Hi everyone, December update decreased my battery life..now I can't reach more than 6h/ 6:15 of sot while with the same usage I could reach 7:30 h and sometimes 8h..I have also the Wifi issues, what could I do to solve the problem? Merry Christmas ti everyone

I get around 9.5 to 10 hours sot. I took following measures.
1. format phone using recovery.
2. perform graphic test. It will re-install your update.
3.reboot your phone.
4. Setup your phone fresh Do not recover any apps from your google account. Manually install from play store or take a backup of apk's on your memory card/pc.
5. Enter your google account only after entire phne setup is complete.
6. Install all your apps.
7. Setup your apps under Adaptive battery as per requirement.
8. Disable adaptive brightness.
After setting up your phone, messages and other stuff force stop and disable google and google play store(wipe data and cache of both apps). This may seem controversial but it seems Google apps are causing some issues. You can activate them on need basis.
Your battery will drain faster for a week as Adaptive battery learns your battery usage. Post one week it will perform as a charm. Also recalibrate your battery from 15-100% 1-2 times, it might help.
I would also like to point that I am not using Nokia's quick charge but rather Sony's normal charger. It charges a bit slow by also keeps my device cool.
I can confirm this as for the last cycle my Sot was 9hrs 40 mins(90%to 15%) and for previous to last cycle it was around 7 hrs 43 mins(this was when I deactivated google apps and play store at 53%). Sorry I forgot to take screenshot to prove it. Refer screenshot below. I started video loop at 53%. At this time my Sot was 4.5 hrs.
I am sure you would have tried every word in the dictionary to get you battery performing good, there's no harm in trying this one too. But, it's your call.
I am not saying that you should try it. This is what worked for me and I am sharing it with you.
My entire test was with 90% Volte and 10% wifi(I exhausted my data pack).
P.S: I have deactivated all the fancy stuff like glance, wake up on pick etc. Brightness at 35%. I am using dark theme for app drawer and wallpapers.
Hope this works for you.
My only gripe is how to reduce battery standby time. It seems rooting would be the only option.

As I said in my previous post, I tried all the possible solutions to get a good battery. This was part of the last thing I tried and I got a pretty decent Sot. Hence I am sharing it.
The graphics setup may work for some, it may not for some... but for sure it won't brick your device. So no harm trying it.

Completely charging and draining the battery twice fixed my problems. I get good battery life on Pie.

I am not saying that you should try it. This is what worked for me and I am sharing it with you.
My entire test was with 90% Volte and 10% wifi(I exhausted my data pack).
P.S: I have deactivated all the fancy stuff like glance, wake up on pick etc. Brightness at 35%. I am using dark theme for app drawer and wallpapers.
Hope this works for you.
My only gripe is how to reduce battery standby time. It seems rooting would be the only option.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience and giving me your help..I will consider this option

Try disabling adaptative battery and checking that it is dosable because it likes to activate itself.

Completely charging and draining the battery twice fixed my problems. I get good battery life on Pie.

This is exactly which I tried for the past two weeks and am getting mixed results altogether.
Medium usage 6h 30min SOT with 42 hour standby
Roughly 2 days since i charged and it has been connected mostly on wifi. That is a good mix.
Flat out if i use it from 100% then it will/may last even 9-10 hours SOT

You mean draining battery completely to 0 % ?
