[Q] Battery Issues - Froyo on Defy - Defy General

Spent untold hours trying to figure this battery drain issue out ...
Before Froyo (stock T-Mobile) update, would lose about 5% battery overnight. No widgets running, but Exchange e-mail, bloat freezer to turn off some stock apps, but no undervolting or other tricks.
After the Froyo update, would lose 20% battery overnight, and an hour phone conversation would take down 30% of my battery. Tried undervolting, checked battery users (only report is phone standby), and even installed Cyanogen (same exact battery consumption).
Could it be the T-Mobile radio eating my battery? Saw other anecdotal evidence of this issue in other posts, but nothing clear and definitely no real solutions.

Try 'USB Debugging - ON', switch sometimes 3g/2g/auto, reset battery stats,
Take a look at software - Power Tutor, Wathcdog, and so on.
I have 6-4% per night with wifi off, and 3g on.
Barebones 1.5.1 ROM (177 sbf)
Here is my usage graph, 2h per 1% at night

Good points
Thanks for the suggestions. I did reset the battery stats already, that didn't help either. Trying out Juice Defender now ... maybe something connecting too frequently (even though Android power settings set to night time saver).

Even with ...
Juice Defender running with agressive settings (airplane mode between midnight and six AM) still lost 20% power overnight.
Graph shows losing 10% between midnight and 1AM and 10% between six and seven AM. Hmmm. Thoughts?

Get a bugreport from your phone, all the info you can find is there. Just be aware it may contain your private info (messages, phone numbers, etc) if you post the file online.
Look at the kernel log, and the battery logs. You may find some clue there.

Do you think this is about right?

Hi guys. I'm a bit concerned about battery life, I'm not sure whether I'm on the average or the battery drain crowd.

AVS is off but I've just installed the zip that turns it on at boot, so should see some improvement
What do you guys think? Reasonable power consumption as it is? Sent a few texts, went on internet (3G) a few times and made a couple of short calls.

I think that's alright. I normally get home from work after about 12hrs on battery at about 75-80% with some light browsing, sms and a few calls made.
If I'm completely on standby I lose around 1% per hour!
Cheers 00droid! On standby I loose very little too so I guess it's doing alright!
Wow that's so much better than mine...I'm just about to flash that kernel so will see how it goes tomorrow.
By the way, what are your settings with regards to wifi/data/screen brightness/syncing etc? Wondering if those could be impacting so drastically on my battery life...
EDIT: Just had a look at mine now, and Display is 72% usage - I've had it on auto - should I just turn it down to a very low brightness? Also, I've been on "All Animations" - will reducing this to "Some Animations" increase it somewhat?
I'm using some animations, screen brightness I've got it set at about 35% which is plenty for me and I turn wifi off unless I'm at home surfing on the net. I've also got a few hours between weather updating, then facebook, twitter and all other syncs I do manually when I open the program
I'm doing much better with my battery today turns out I had everything set to drain as much battery as possible - after 6hours of sending a few texts and downloading a couple of apps, but mostly standby, I'm on 93% - best I've ever got
@kharekatoh do you have mobile data on all the time?
i cant eek more than 8 hours out of a full battery !!!! yours is amaing

Yup it's on constantly unless wifi is turned on
8 Hours is pretty bad... must be some app sucking all the power maybe

[Q] viper rom draining battary

I been using viper rom for a while now but the rom is eating my battary up. i loose 10% in 5 minutes of browsing or listening to music. Best rom out in my opinion but the battary drainage is becoming an issue. I wiped battary stats and recharged while phone is off and problem persist. i lowered clock speeds and adjusted profiles while screen is off but helped very little.
any suggestions?

Might be a specific app or something. Post a screenshot of your battery graph
I'm not experiencing unexpected battery drain on Viper. I'm betting you have an app or setting wreaking havoc. Did you restore Apps and App data from TB? That could be a cause. It could also be an App that's not playing nice with the ROM. Run some battery and cpu apps that may help you nail the rogue down. You could also try a full wipe and re-flash, then install your apps fresh from the market. Appbak from the market can help make this process easier.
I have used TB to restore apps...i would hate to reflash and restore apps the long way but so far this is the best rom out. thanks!

Im running viperrom as well and it actually seems like my battery lasts forever but its just reporting wrong. the other night I got LOS around 50% and when I rebooted the phone it came back on at 9%, today same thing happened, was above 70, rebooted and was in the 40's... but then once it finally does die, charge it for a few minutes and then turn it back on and it magically charged 70% in a few minutes, check this battery graph out...
I need to figure out why my awake time was so much greater than the screen-on time... I did stream pandora but that was less than an hour and it is only shown as 4% of the battery usage.
(taken with the netbooks webcam is why the pictures are so great...)

Wakelock, better battery help

So I feel like since I rooted my phone and installed nova my batter drains more...and I'm really new to all this stuff and I don't understand what any of this means:

That's not normal. Whatever wakelock is keeping it awake is not captured in your WLD screenshot. Track it down in better battery stats instead, using "partial wakelocks"
Thank you...that's what I thought... I don't know what happened...so I went into partial wakelocks and everything looks like low %... But kernel wakelocks there was a lot of high percentages...
First thing that sticks out is drop box. It shouldnt be running for that long. Did you turn on auto backup? This will cause huge drains. If turned on turn it off. Also check in service running for 21 minutes... Turn off your gps. This is Google now constantly running and locating you to try and provide you with what it thinks is useful cards (weather, traffic, food in your area) I only then on my gps when I'm gonna use navigation. Otherwise all apps with gps access will start to run and kill your battery. Also I suggest greenify. It'll help a lot with things like Facebook, Twitter, Google search, ect. Wakelocks. Also removing or freezing bloatware helps tremendously with battery drain. And last carrier iq. Something that always runs in the background. Google search it or read up in the battery threads here on XDA. They talk about it a lot and how to try and stop it. Also this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2816353
although for the SGS5 it can be applied to our device as well

Deep sleep

I don't think I have yet seen this phone in deep sleep... I even got a deep sleep battery app that turns off the radios and is supposed to put it in deep sleep but I don't think it's actually going to sleep. From what my cpu manager tells me that it's spending a lot of time at 300 mhz, but shouldn't I see deep sleep as one of the cpu frequencies?
I'm used to my android devices sitting around for hours and not losing much battery because of deep sleep, and I am wondering why this phone doesn't seem to actually sleep.
Which app? "Deep Sleep Battery Saver"? Just for fun, what's your percentage in "Settings" ➜ "Battery & Storage" ➜ "View battery usage" ➜ "Phone idle"?
Can't say much about it, because we know nothing about your overall config... but you're right, it should be below 300 MHz for deep sleep.
ofc. it's not allowed to sleep because it has to send data to the AWS servers. ^^
After about 9 hours it's listed 7 hours on phone idle, or 4% of the battery. In that 9 hours about half of my battery has been consumed.
And yes it was deep sleep battery saver, not all that impressed with it really. I have been testing other settings and configuration apps and disabling system apps, re-enable some as well at the first hint of an undesired effect.
Last year I had an android with a bad battery that I could get almost 2 days of sparse use out of but it only a few hours of normal use. So I have expectations that when I'm not using my phone it won't go dead so quickly
That's a massive leak. My device loses 2% charge in ~ 12 hours. Has it always been that much or since you went on a "removing spree"?
If you haven't experimented with an app like this in the past, try using GSam Battery Monitor (or similar) to get an in depth view.
You can install it next time the device is fully charged, so it can monitor things objectively.
Tap on "App Usage" and then from the drop down menu on the top right "View Kernel Wakelocks", maybe you'll find some clues there.
You should be able to narrow it down to see which app(s) / service(s) is / are sucking tha sweet juice. You know I've dealt with similar battery behavior but I "enforced" it on purpose by deleting crucial apps. ^^
edit: Installed "Kernel Adiutor" again and restartet the phone, let's see which CPU frequencies I get during deep sleep.

Big battery drain overnight and low deep sleep (problematic kernel wakelocks)

So i flashed Butterfly kernel successfully, and i immediately installed kernel manager and cpu spy to measure cpu states, and betterbaterystats in addition to that, after close measurements i saw that it spent roughly 60% of time in 652 freq and only 40% in deep sleep, which accounted for 15-18% battery loss overnight with wifi and mobile data off. Betterbaterystats show that only small portion of screen off state (30%) is spent in deep sleep, rest is spent in "screen off awake" state with portions in doze states. I am confused and beg your help on how to fix that. Obviously these kernel wakelocks are preventing deep sleep from happening. I am talking about dozen of wakelock that fired off 20k times in couple of hours. I really like this kernel, its just that i have serious problem with screen off battery consumption.
I factory retested the device last night and left it to stay overnight. As you can see from the accu battery stats off screen battery drain was around 10% that is 1.3% per hour. And I already ruled out user apps because I have bare minimum of them installed on the phone. I have magisk with only xposed framework and Sonymusic4magisk modules installed. I am currently on stock ROM 8.1 Oreo version 9.6.11.0 and am using butt kernel for 8.1 normal and undervolted version 4.9.x.20150123.
Tried stock kernel, oreo normal, undervolted, overclocked, no magisk, factory reset, clean flash, but dozen of ipc wakelocks and timerfd wakelock still persist and actively disrupt deep sleep.
I tried to block them using MTweaks Boeffla block option, but they are blocked first 5-10 mins after boot, and after that they persist. This issue is present in both dragonheart and CAF kernel.
Im providing detailed logs and screenshots, so please help anyway you can, I would be super grateful.
