Use Gravity Screen instead. Have used it on many phones without issue or fail.

Yes, gravity screen works really fine, I use it since my note 3

It really isn't that hard to google for battery calibraiton... And it can help.

Battery dead with 1 hour screen-on time. PLEASE help.

I just got a Z and I really like the phone. However, my battery life is abysmal. Here is some relevant information so we can maybe find the culprit of my abhorrent battery life.
Phone is rooted.
Soundmod installed, PureXAudio
apps that I installed that could POSSIBLY(?) be causing battery drain:
Adblock plus
HD Widgets
iPhone Notifications
Lookout
PandaApp
ScreenStandby
Full!screen
Greenify is also installed an whitelisted.
I installed BBS to try to figure out what might be causing it and I will post results for people more versed in Android than me. But my sister also picked up a Z and her battery life isn't nearly as terrible. To test the device I put it in stamina mode and didn't charge it when I went to sleep. In the span of 4 1/2 hours it dropped 11%. That can't be right. I unplugged the phone at 9am this morning and it was totally dead by 5 with VERY light use. I'm talking a handful of sms sent, stamina mode on ALL day, and an hour of streaming spotify. You can see the horrific results ins BBM. Something is terribly, terribly wrong and if I can't get to the root of it, this phone is completely useless to me.

Please let me know if there is more info I can provide. There must be a reason for this.

[Q] Weird status about battery

Guys. I had a very big problem here. My phone is just off the charger for about 10 min but the battery drops to 97% already. And I checked with the stamina mode which the battery only last for 18 hour and standby time only less then 2 days. Any idea about this? and any way to fix?
Thx.

How long have you owned the unit? I found mine needed a few charge cycles to become more stable.
One strange thing I have noticed is that whilst charging the notification light turns green at 90% for some reason, has anyone else noticed this?
Hi homer285. thanks for your reply. I had it for about a week only. So is it better I make some cycle charge for it to make it back to normal?
Thx.

that is normal for all Sony devices.
90% to 100% is green. below 90 is orange. and below 10 or something is red.

for the first part, the battery dropping so quickly, can you provide another screenshot for the battery and the apps working, to see which app consumed more battery. I usually charge my phone before going to sleep and after waking up ~9 hours later the battery drops from 100-96%.

For the second part, this is normal. the estimated battery gives indication depending on your usage (so yours will be different than mine). while standby is where your phone is not being used and thats why it is longer although it is quite little, my phone at 62% and says 3 days and 2 hours in standby mode.
if I didn't answer your question, please explain further but other screenshots would help as well, thx

I noticed this when charging mye phone the last time too. Maybe it is not quite calibrated yet? I did charge to 100% then totally drained it though, after charging it the first time out of the box.
Hi ahomad
Thx for ur reply. Attached is the photo of my battery usage for this morning.
I do understand what they mean but for the first few day usage my stamina standby time is up to 3-4days, just don't know what happen it dropped for used about a week.
And is it just the normal status or is it better to make some calibration for battery. If so, what is the best way to do that.
Thx.

you might have been playing games heavily (assuming the second app using most power is a game) thus the estimation was lowered as the phone assumed you will play more games in the coming days.
But from the picture you attached, you do have quite good battery as you were playing heavy game for 40 mins while having LTE on yet the battery dropped 9% which is really good
just ignore what the phone is telling as long as you don't see real world weakness of the battery performance. these estimates are never real just to give an indication

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Moto G4 Plus's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Having problem, Battery is draining quickly in 7.0
i used to have a moto g4 plus, I did not find any unusual drain unless i had 4G data or wifi on
My moto g4 plus was working fine until a few days back, now the standby drain is terrible even charging my phone takes more than 3-4 hours.
The battery status shows that my phone is almost always awake and draining the battery. It works better in safe mode, how do I find what's causing the phone stay awake??

I had the same issue........,but i fixed it(somehow)....................,first of all,doing a factory reset is sure to fix it...........................,also ,the main cause for this is because of the tons of apps and services running in the background......................................,if you don't want to reset,try using greenify,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it hibernates apps and prevents them from working when the screen is off..........................greenify works on both rooted and non-rooted devices,although it is much more effective on rooted devices...........i highly recommend it........................good luck....
My battery was draining pretty fast so I installed GSAM and found that the app DSub was taking up most of my battery. Never had the issue with the app on previous phones/android versions so I went into settings and found that DLNA was enabled. The description said to disable if it was causing battery drain on Nougat. I turned it if off and now the battery life is MUCH better.

Where in the settings did you find the DLNA option to disable? Please help.
Same here. Help. It charges up way too quickly and then loses battery just as quick . Standby shows 19% !!!!

Looks like you're in an area with poor signal strength, and that you use the Turbo Charger for daily use.
That graph looks perfectly normal for those conditions.

Anything has to be the top stat, but don't forget that it is only 18% of 6%.

Sorry for the late reply...in DSUB, go to Settings, Casting, and scroll to the bottom.

Thanks buddy. I just checked in the display settings and went to Cast option. It's empty. Please see attached screenshot. It's that the right place?

I'm talking about the DSUB app specifically. I've attached a screenshot. If you don't have DSUB installed, maybe another media app is causing the problem? Try installing GSAM, which will tell you what app is causing your drain.
Good backup

Doze will help I think
mobile network standby drains a hell lot of battery.. Half of my battery consumption is due to mobile network standby..
If app consumption is 30% then standby will be more then 30%
I cross check other users for their battery stats but cell standby was 0-1% but in my case it is around 40-45% or even more if used from a single charge.. Battery life is dead due to mobile network standby. Please help.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 SN-N950W Extreme battery draining Issue

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.
