Every night I connect my phone to the ac adapter and run night clock. Well this morning the battery was at 70 percent and draining at 1% a minute. My phone was still in charhing status when I saw it was at 70 too..and normally when I leave nightclock running the display consumption is shown to have used most battery power, but this wasn't the case, and once unplugged it was literally dropping 1% a minute.

Use the app "spare parts" or dial *#*#4636#*#* and see if you can see which app is consuming it all??

It would help if you provided more info, such as what rom you are using with which kernel and such.
I have noticed, in my own experience, that I have had very bad battery life if the phone does not wipe properly when I switch roms.

I got spare parts and it was blue tooth for some strange reason. I re enabled it and everything is fine. I think it was stuck on scan mode or something.

It happened again this morning, but didn't drain as fast. When I shut my alarm off and closed out night clock the battery was at 70%..I'm not using any Roms, just tempbooting.

Try this from a commandline:
Code:
adb shell top -m 5 -n 5
This will show you the top 5 CPU using processes, 5 times. Just let it do it's thing, won't take more than a few seconds.
Output should look something like:
Code:
User 24%, System 2%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 76 + Nice 0 + Sys 9 + Idle 230 + IOW 0 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 315
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
1043 18% S 14 231036K 33360K fg app_176 com.maxmpz.audioplayer
1932 4% R 1 964K 444K fg root top
1617 3% S 36 320012K 50560K bg nobody com.htc.launcher
1453 1% S 70 357464K 49044K fg system system_server
5 0% S 1 0K 0K fg root khelper
See that top process using 18% of the CPU? That's the kind of thing we're looking for. In this case it's my mp3 player running in the background so I'm perfectly fine with that
I'm wondering if in your case some process is running wild...
if when u got the the phone and didnt fully charge it the batter wont last as long thats why soon as u turn the phone on when u first get it make sure to charge it

Hi all.
Flashed 2.3d a couple of days ago and have been monitoring my battery usage.
It hardly lasts 24 hours.
My general usage is here:
Browse for approximately an hour - Facebook, Twitter and the regular stuff.
4 -5 short calls (of approx. 3 minutes)
No text messaging at all. Have another phone for text messaging only!
My wi fi is permanently disabled as I rely on my EDGE connection - which is ON only when I browse. I make it a point to switch off EDGE when not in use.
Display settings is reduced to 30% using Quick settings.
No automatic sync of accounts.
GPS is never ON on any given day as such.
No bluetooth usage as such.
I have absolutely NO widgets on my homescreen, I prefer launching the apps directly.
Using the latest radio and I did calibrate the battery after flashing 2.3d.
Haven't overclocked at all. It's the default "smartass" settings. And I have setCPU coming into picture when the screen is off (499 max and 245 minimum).
Any thoughts?
Install currentwidget and set I to log every 5 min. After a day see if, during standby, the current is often above 3 to 10 mA. If so you have a bad app or setting (probably facebook), if not there is not much you can do.

Some people are saying that the following steps increase their battery life, why not give a try :
# Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more
# Unplug the charger
# Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
# Unplug the charger
# Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes
# Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
# Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better

Thanks mate. I guess I'll try this if the problem continues and see where it takes..
turn off use gps satellites in location
turn off use wireless networks in location
turn off wireless and everything in wireless&networks
turn off background data in accounts&sync
go to wireless&networks->mobile networks and change network mode to gsm only
and turn off data roaming, data roaming sound and enable always-on mobile...
Also when you bought HTC you shouldn't power it unless you didnt fully charge battery. And also dont let your battery drain to end, when it comes to yellow you can charge phone freely. And I don't know but when I rooted my phone, battery seems to last longer. Maybe I am wrong.

I installed the battery widget and have been monitoring the usage, and yes the usage when the phone is in sleep mode is around 5 mA extending upto 10 mA at times.
Should it ideally be ZERO? Coz I could also see 0 mA at a given time but it wasn't widespread.
5 - 10 mA is widespread when the phone is asleep (display off).
In that case there is not much to do about battery life. You could lower the CPU speed and the brightness but that are not the best solutions. At last in my opinion.
Getting the mA to 0 during standby is/ should be impossible. The best I got was 3 mA with only 2g.

Oh okay..
On an average, at standby (sleep) how much current does your phone consume?
I've already changed the resolution from auto to a level which I feel is good. Wouldn't want to underclock at all.
Running Syndicate and Genocide.
I noticed last night that the phone dropped from 97 to around 86 within a 20 minute period of just moving icons, etc., normal stuff.
Let it charge all night, unplugged it this morning, and it says 97 instead of 100.
Am I misssing a step? Do I need to set something, calibrate something?
I even turned down the brightness.
It is normal for the phone to vary between 100 to 97% on charge. This keeps the battery from overcharging. As for your issue of losing so much in 20 minutes with brightness down, perhaps some apps were syncing while your screen was on. Grab Memory Booster Lite and check task killer for all the apps loaded in memory and see which ones you don't really need and which ones may be running a sync. Set all syncs to manual or never. Go into applications>running services to see what else is using your battery while the display is on.

You know what, you are right, my Google Music was syncing up as well as my Work email.
I will monitor it today and tonight and see how it does. Thanks.
I installed the new app yesterday. Its nice to have a options menu again, I set update to never so when I close the app I expected it to fully close but I am left with 3 apps running for Facebook. I left my phone unplugged last night when I went to sleep and my battery went down 12% whilst I slept. Normally only looses about 2-3% in this time. Only app has changed is Facebook so it must be this. Anyone else having this issue?

Same Herr! I only lost 10% but i think this depends ob Thema length offen my night (only 7 hours) and in Thema fact that i'm switching permenantly all my connections off

yes, somehow with the new update, if we press home, the total cpu time will continue going up and eat my battery a lot probably 5% idle per hr wifi sync on.
Then i decided to swipe it away in the multitasking menu, and it stops, battery back to my normal 0.5 - 1% idle per hr wifi on and sync on and whatsapp on. So u can try that. hope that helps.
Glad it's not just me. But I thought I would do some extra testing.
When I first got my Nexus, coming from a rooted CM'd Desire, I was amazed the battery went down only a few percent over night and I've been getting over a day of use with it easily even when using the phone frequently. After an average day I was on 30-45% battery. I even tested with Skype on wifi, then left it on 3G and I still got good battery.
The day after fb install, I barely got through the day. 12% is what I ended up on. I'll test for a few more days.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing a major battery drain from my stock One X. It seemed to start when I was playing around with settings for juice defender.
Firstly JD saved good battery levels but disconnected my roaming.
I then reset JD to balanced and now my battery drains within 3 hrs.
I disabled it, changed settings, nothing worked. Now my phone is constantly on charge.
Can someone help?
This happened once before before JD a quick restart and then fine.
Btw love the forum and one X

I think you should remove JD from system and check again. Also check WiFi sleep policy and apps running in memory via task manager. Or install CPU spy to see which process eats your battery. What you stock battery app shows? It also should show the process which eats battery juice.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Installed cpu spy like you said. There seems to be something at 1200mhz that was at 67% over 1 minute 37 secs.
I've un installed and reinstalled JD but it made no difference.
I've been using for the last 20 mibs and used about 30%
Arrrgghhh so frustrating

What app does your battery gauge say you're using it on? Settings, Power, Battery Use. Post a screenshot
Hey so is it normal for a note 2 to lose 30-40% battery every 24 hours in sleep mode?
In gSam battery monitor it says:
Phone 0.7%
Screen 16.3%
Phone Radio 20.6%
Wifi active 1.8%
Held awake: 0.5%
Bluetooth 0%
App Usage 60.1%
When I click on app usage it says:
Kernel (android OS 56.4%
and the rest is around 1%
I use ondemand and deadline.
Thanks!

It says: Linux version 3.0.64-CM-g0a49c6d
rom: probam 4.3
I lose 1% per hour in sleep mode. So 30% in a day isn't awful. Plus gsam says your screen has been active for 17% of the time. So 30% now sounds good.
I'd say try better battery stats. also I'd suggest you try a different kernel. My understanding is that it is this which defines how your battery will behave whilst asleep.
In Stock I never got that great performance but the new saber kernel gives me that performance which for me is brilliant

I've just faced something similar on my phone - I blamed the modem initially. It wasn't, it was the Facebook app. Suggest grabbing Greenify from the Play store and shutting it down when not in use.
BBS didn't help identify it, sadly
