[SOLVED][Q] Battery issues?

Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use

none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%
i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant
on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger
this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.

Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?

tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS
see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.
hope that helps

well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up

I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.

I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.
I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.

What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash

Is my phone the culprit?

So like everyone else my battery life sucks. No big deal. I bought the extended battery from Sprint, and I can see the battery diminish in front of my eyes. I mean dropping 1 percent per minute. Is there a way to test the phone to see if it is the culprit?

ther are lots of ways to check things. does it drop 1% a minute all the time meaning you only get 100 minutes? does it only do it when you take it off the charger at 100% where ti will drop to any where from 99-90% in a matter of minutes?
if the later then thats normal and is because the phone doesnt have a trickle charge. this means that the phone charges your battery to 100% then stops however the indicator on the phone will not change it will still show 100% once the acctual power reaches 90% the phone then charges again up to 100%. what this means is once you take your phone off the pwoer if it has been sitting there even if it says it is at 1005 it can be any where from 90-100% which the battery quickly changes to over first few minutes.
If it happens past 90% and all the time then something is wrong and you likely have at least 1 if not more apps running wild on you, you have things set to sync constantly, and you have everything under the sun turned on for your phone.
for apps the paid version of system panel is very nice for monitoring you can go to monitor top and top apps and see which apps are using the most battery/cpu.
witht he information you have given that is aobut the best i can tell you. I would not say everyone has crappy battery life with the evo as i have slowly gotten my phone set up and now with moderate usage i can get 14-15 hours and at least 8-10 with very heavy usage(stock battery) which i dont consider to be crappy battery life.

I appreciate the response, and I forgot to add that I'm running stock unrooted sense. This is not my first Android phone so I know about battery managing. I don't have everything sync every two minutes nor do I have everything turned on. It does drop rather quick even past 90 percent. I think it might be the phone it self. I doubt I got 2 bad batteries, one being extended. I'll see if I could get a device swapped out.

My first EVO was like that. It drained quickly shortly after charging. I could never figure it out. Till one night before going to bed, I noticed something weird about the bottom keys on the phone. They were " very dimmly " lit. The home, menu, return, search were all dimmly lit. It was I believe a defect in the phone. I got it swapped out. No problems like the 1% drain since then.

[Q] Battery Problem on my new Note 3!

Welcome! I've got Galaxy Note 3 for 3 days and i'm not satisfied about battery life. I read that it is possible to work on one charging even 3 days! I can work on my max 8h!!! I've got wifi/bt off, battery saver mode on, screen bright on auto and -5, only gsm (not LTE), no sync, no facebook app. When i'm working on my phone i can easily see how battery is discharging When the battery is full and after 10 usage i've got 90% without doing nothing special. Is my battery broken? shoud i use warranty?

You got some app going crazy or something. I get apps that hang sometimes and will kill my battery in a day. Lately ive been paying attention and trying to kill apps that are uselessly draining and ive only used a third of my battery in 24 hours. Just gotta hunt the problem down.
Regardless, its probably just software and not the phone itself.

Battery issue

Hello, a couple of months ago my battery started dying on me so I went to Samsung to get a replacement (my tablet is still within warranty). Despite the fact that my Knox counter is triggered they've changed my battery as well as my tablet's motherboard (don't know why). In the first few weeks I would get quite good battery 7-8 hours of Screen on Time, so far so good.
In the last month or so -though- I'm starting getting quite worse results. The battery leak while sleeping is 2% every 8 hours, so I'm great there too (amplify + greenify work miracles), so the only thing that I can think is that the battery has started dying again (already?). I've let my tablet reach 0% and shut down on its own. Then I booted into recovery and let my tablet on with full brightness for another hour until it was finally off. That's *one hour on* with full brightness!
It seems obvious to me that that's a calibration issue. I deep cycled my battery (twice!), but the results persist (battery is 0% after 5.30 hours of SoT, an additional hour of full brightness is needed until my battery is really depleted). I've made the calculations and found out that if I could actually use that extra hour of full brightness, I would still get 7-8 hours of SoT.
What happened? Why is my battery suddenly got itself "decalibrated" and why does deep cycling (or deleting the battery starts) never works? I think that I should get my tablet back to Samsung again (it's still within warranty), but I would prefer not to as it'll take another 2-3 weeks (again!) to fix it and I'd much prefer to have my tablet in the meantime. So do you have any quick and dirty method to get my 2 hours back?
BTW I know that 2 hours less of screen time , sounds little. But it's exactly the amount of time that deems whether I should charge my battery twice or once every day (yeah I use my tablet *that* much, as it also doubles as my laptop on the go)

6 Hour Charge Times - 2 Hours Screen On Times

Hi all, so I know there have been talks before about the battery on the G3 but since not all issues are the same I decided to ask anyway in hope that someone could assist me in some way to figure out what the issue is.
TL : DR:
Got LG G3 (Stock ROM: Lollipop 5.0), let battery run flat, started charging it through the mains, woke up next day to it taking 6 hours to get to 100%, using charger that came with it (5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger, model: MCS-04UR).
So I just got the LG G3 as my old phone was a pile of rubbish these days (Huawei Y530) and so far I'm EXTREMELY happy with it, I needed it mainly for VR since I do YouTube and have been getting asked to do VR Videos so after looking around I found the G3 which was in my price range and grabbed it.
But here is where the issue starts, the battery ran flat so I plugged it into the 5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger that came with it (model: MCS-04UR) and after a few minutes it came up with an estimated time till full charge, of course I was shocked at the 19hr+ estimate but figured this would likely go down after I turned the screen off and just left it alone as I wouldn't be using it for anything other then push notifications over WiFi, about 4 hours later I needed to use the phone again so I unlocked it and saw that it was going to 7hr+ hours and was only at 32% after 4hours: imgur.com/XjPqu4X
So I left it on my desk and went to bed but when I woke up I saw that it was still charging and was only around 90%, so I left it alone until it was 100% and then checked the battery usage meter to see how long it had taken, this was the result: imgur.com/LBj3L2m
As you can see it had a bit of usage for a couple of hours which im guessing was maybe updates or something but even with taking into account it took a long time to get to full charge, I was under the impression that "Quick Charge" was meant to be quick and would get you around 50% within 30 minutes but that just doesn't seem to be the case with me, does anyone have any idea why this is.
I also did another test the next time the batter went dead this time charging with the phone off and once again connected to the mains charger, from 0% to 100% it took 6 hours 9 minutes, with it taking around 3 hours to get to 80% and 4 hours 20 to get to 90%.
After it had fully charged I turned it on to see what the estimate time remaining before it would die again was and it said 2 hours, this surely can't be normal...I mean I get that smartphones use a lot of power these days but this is a 3000mAh battery, I must be right in thinking it shouldn't take over 6hrs to fully charge and only last around 2hours if the screen was left on at lowest brightness.
Worth noting that this a second hand phone from a trade-in store.
•Phone: LG G3 D855
•OS: Android 5.0
•Kernel version: 3.4.0
•Software Version: V21a-EUR-XX
(No SIM Card in it yet as wanted to give it a good test before transferring over all my contacts and such)
These are the charger and cable I got with the phone, im assuming that they are default.

•Cable: imgur.com/2naIYdT

Does nobody have a solution for this issue or have an idea of what might be causing it?
I would prefer to try any solutions that might be out there before taking it back to the store.
