I'm on the Fasty 2.3 rom and I just cant seem to go more then 12 hours on battery life even on light useage. The only thing I keep on is my 3g service, which is all the time. I've also tried using battery calibrationaters (lol) and none of them seem to calibrate my captivate.. I think. What's a good app to monitor my battery and also an app to help me calibrate my battery in case I'm doing it wrong somehow?
I calibrate by charging to 100% and then rebooting my phone but my phone seems to drain at the same speed no matter what I do. I installed Fasty from stock also.
Chechk the battery what is using the battery, maybe it's the android OS

Remove the battery and put it back say about after 15/20 mins, This has helped some members to solve this issue. Just give it a try.

Lol, I've been reading and I guess there's a bug with the Android OS or something and it'll run high if your phone is on for a long time. The fix is just to restart.

That did it! I charged my phone up to 100% then i calibrated it. Shut off my phone, took that battery out, grabbed a plate of food and decided to watch Despicable Me, finished my meal and then put the battery back and now my phone is at 67% after 18 hours!
Great, Thats amazing 67 after 18 good going mate.
I rooted my phone yesterday to try to get ubuntu on my webtop. Is there anyway that rooting has screwed up my battery at all? My phone is getting much hotter and the battery is draining much faster now.
Any help would be great.
I also had some battery issues after rooting. My phone got very hot and completely discharged the battery in three hours while sitting idle in my bag. I'm not sure what the culprit was, but a factory data reset seems to have fixed my issue.

I will try that and report back.
how much battery life do you get after rooting?
Interesting. I am rooted and have not seen any loss of battery life. Did you remove or freeze any apps?

Yes I did freeze apps. I factory reset last night and didn't freeze and the phone is doing better so far.
Same here, rooting seems to be affecting battery. All I did was uninstall the bloatware. Gonna see today how it goes. It was fine for a couple days and then just bombed.
Have you guys tried deleting the battery statistics??
I could be that there's something off with the way the usage is occuring through operation that way.
It might help.

I can't find the link right now, but the myth that deleting the battery statistics file improves battery life has been thoroughly debunked.

Send me the link, would love to see it.
The battery statistics, it worked on my RAZR by deleting them, so I would love to see where they 'de-bunked' it as personal experience for me says otherwise.
Got about a half hour more when I did this.

I'll have to reply to that, as the battery stats do not reset upon full charge, but only upon reset of the phone.
I actually don't turn my phone off very often, and have seen stats compile for days on end.
Or at least that was what was happening to my RAZR....
Interesting, though.
Hi, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

how can you change your battery?
though you can update your firmware to the latest
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.

Got tired of battery life on Lolipop, wakelocks, mystery drains etc etc, Went back to kitKat a few days ago and to be honest it feels like I've gotten my phone back.
I had recently put in a new battery so the phone is stable, flying and lasts a whole day with some juice left over.
Was this meant to be a PM?

And its rooted ? Using apps like servicely or greenify ?
Umm? Is this an actual thread?
Either way, are you sure that 'Google Services' were not draining battery due to the continuous, checking for OTA - failing, rechecking preventing the phone from going into 'Deep Sleep' state?

Yeah, just felt like venting a bit about my experience, Not sure about google services to be honest (did that problem occur in KK too ?) but IMHO i feel Kitkat is better for me at this point, Wasnt lolipop supposed to have better battery life ? what happened there google ?

I'm actually with you on this one... Went back to 4.4.4 Omnirom. Google services seems to behave much better. I had a tasker script that disabled the update service on boot, but still get significantly worse on lollipop. I also used appops and tried a few roms with no luck.
KitKat has better battery life by far. Such a disappointment.

yep ,been a huge disappointment on my device but perhaps its better on other brands etc , it would appear google have taken their eyes off the ball here, i hope its not a sign of future quality control to come.
I am experiencing terrible battery life. It seems something is keeping my device awake while screen off? Any idea can find that out and fix it? Thanks in advance.
already so many threads just do a little reading
and as i can see your device is not sleeping is awake most of the time thats the issue
your job is to find out which process is keeping the device awake

I know some process are keeping it awake. But I don't know what it is and the top command seems does not provide much information.
Use better battery stats API from XDA search Google for it
4.0.3 has nice battery life.

Try Greenify, Naptime..

Thanks for the advice. Turns out it's the Google play services that's waking up my device. I have encountered this before and tried various methods in the forum yet still not fixed permanently. Anyway, for now, it's solved by rebooting the device.

Have your device manually power off/on during night say 1144Pm to 445AM. Some folks received many calls I don't so no need to have my phone on ALL night. Plus it helps my phone last way. .Way longer. This are my stats just from yesterday...http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a44fe5442fc/Screenshot_20170214-174412.png?

Well...

Try this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/google-play-services-battery-drain-t3537545
Also, use this kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/kernel-elementalx-op3-1-00-t3521298 with instructions on how to get best SOT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSa-9aWmTFk
So first try the methods to fix the battery drain issue with the thread that I posted, and then go and install the Elemental X kernel, and tweak it using the instructions on the youtube video Should work like a charm !
I'm with Franco and in getting amazing battery life. You should clean flash oxygen and the flash Franco kernel again
