Hello friends,
I bought a motorola defy yesterday.It is a September 2011 built and came with 2.2.2 froyo. I charged the battery yesterday to 100% used it around 1.5 hrs with Wifi and 3g which brought it to 70%. I then left the phone for about 11 hours and after which the battery was completely discharged and I had to charge it first to switch it on.
Even now after charging completely , it went from 100% to 90% in 17 mins with 8 minutes of mild usage.
Its currents stats are 90% battery 34 minutes since unplugged with
Mobile Standby - 45 %
Phone Idle - 29%
Display - 19%
Android System - 4%
Wi-fi- 2%
com.motorola.home - 2%
please help , what should I do, should I call for a replacement ?
Turn off automatic sync. Turn down screen brightness. Buy a extended battery, which is almost a must with android phones these days.
The first couple of charge - discharge cycles should be ignored. It should start functioning better after that.
If the battery discharge times you mentioned persist, then it's not normal. I usually got 2 days of charge with normal usage when on froyo.
It might be an app which is hogging power. Can you
1. Look at battery usage. In the settings menu and see if any app is drawing excess cpu?
2. Download spare parts from the market and check battery usage?
We may then have some info to help you out.

my device too is plagued with battery issue, 1 day is the max I get with all wifi off/data off/screen auto options. No task killers either.... bought this on aug 2011, still have not been able to to take time out to visit service center.
In my defy battery drop very quickly from 100% to 90%, but rest is all good then. I dont know why too... I tend to discarge battery till shutdow then charge till full, it help.
so i visited the service centre, told them about the battery running on one day w/o gps/data/wifi.
They said they would replace the battery. As it was not in their stock, asked me to check in 3/4 days.
fingers crossed, the new one is not faulty as the current one.

When I woke up this morning, I turned off my phone and after it booted up I unplugged it, because I wanted to get a realistic idea of it's battery life (it's been fluctuation on me). It was at 100% I'm reading at 19% now, I have an Up time of 3:12:00 and an Awake time of 2:44:16 (I have been using it pretty constantly, so the awake time doesn't worry me too much). This is obviously ridiculous, this could possibly die in less than 3 & 1/2 to 4 hours. Battery use is: Android System: 58%, Display: 17%, Cell standby: 14%, Everlands Lite: 6%, Phone idle: 3%, android.process.acore: 2%. I just downloaded Everlands today and played it a lot, but with that low of a percent it can't possibly be an issue. I'm running Damage Control v3.2, and I'll post the DConfig in the next post.

Please, any explanation for why my battery drain has suddenly jumped up so much would be greatly appreciated!
did your battery suddenly start dying quick? mine will last all day ONLY if i leave it alone all day, no calls or anything. If I use it minimally i get about half a day and if I have heavy usage on it then I get about 4 hours or so.
Prior Battery Life
I was able to go about 17 hours off the charger once without holding back on my usage at all, and that wasn't a huge outlier. Seriously, I know I've been able to get at LEAST 12 hours out of it streaming Pandora for an hour plus lots of texting, twitter, facebook, web browsing, and even moderate GPS usage.
I think other battery threads would be more useful if they included Awake time more often, because obviously I am not having a problem with it not going to sleep (since I was actually using the thing almost the entire time I had it off the charger).
You may actually have a bad battery. Mine gets unplugged at 6am, has a 30 min charge at 8pm on my way home in the car, then plugged in at 11:30 or 12 with 40% left.
The only thing I have done is kill most of the widgets, use a static background and that is about it.
you might have a bad battery, or maybe it was just something for that time. if it keeps happening, go back to sprint and they'll probably give you another battery or even phone (assuming they have them in stock)
Battery Defect?
I tried the method that one user supposedly learned from HTC ( I can't post a link but it's titled "Official response from HTC RE: How to double battery Life (WORKS!) + 2nd Reply" ), and I'm not sure I've gotten the same battery life out of it since that happened. I just got it charged back up to 100% now, I'm going to try upgrading to Damage Control v3.2.2.1 and I'll throw it into the Power Save mode in the DConfig, then see how long it lasts.
Hello,
I've read the threads about battery in the desire, BATT FIX with new kernels etc but can't really find a definite answer for my problem.
I bought my phone 18 months old and from the beginning it has shut down at about 20%. Tried the battery thing with charging, on/off, charing again etc, wiping battery stats etc but it doesn't seem to matter. So, I thought I'd just buy a new battery and be done with it.
The new battery arrived yesterday (actually, it's a used battery from customer returns but seller tells me it's been tested to be in mint condition). So this battery shows 3% when I first start up with it, "good, this seems to work" I think. But when at 75% the charger indicator (LED light) all of a sudden turns green and battery % jumps straight to 100%. I do the battery calibration trick with on/off charge and wipe battery stats. Stuck at 100% for some time as reported by others trying this "trick", have been using it all day and it shuts down at 25% even worse than the other battery...
The best voltages I've seen on this supposedly new battery is 4,144 and somewhere above 3.5 (nowhere near 3.2 and 4.2). What strikes me as odd is that I get very close to the same values with my old battery so I'm starting to think that maybee both battery are good but the phone reports way wrong values...is this possible?
Battery life with phone and data connection on, 1 gmail account but disabled backup feature (no GPS, BT etc) gives me -5% after 10 hours standby and I can use the phone for browising, light gaming for about 3 hours and 40 minutes before it dies (more or less constant usage at very low autobrightness levels and Turbo 3G enabled).
If someone has some insight into this it would be really helpful before I contact the eBay seller for this particular battery.
Regards, Olle
Same thing
My phone shuts down at 35% now... Is that a problem with the chipset or what? Only with Alex-V's calibrated kernels my phone shuts down at 0%, and sometimes it decalibrates too, but after calibration is Okay. I wonder if i need a new battery or my chipset has issues.
I bought G Pro day before yesterday. The device is amazing and i love it but i have got a small problem. First day i charged battery to 100% and i got a day usage with 25% of brightness set with screen on time for about a little less than 4 hours which is amazing. Yesterday i had to charge phone twice because the battery depleted within 2 hours on screen time and moderate usage like calls n text (no gaming). Today morning 80% power was left of second charge. I went to college and and did not use the phone much but battery got completely depleted within 1 hour of screen on time at 50% brightness. When i came home back i charged the phone to 100%, when i disconnected charger from phone the charge dropped immediately to 98%. After 3 mins it fell to 93% and now is depleting fast. there is no apps running in background or anything and no apps showing up in battery stats that may be depleting battery. Any solutions to this? can it be faulty battery? Plz Help!!!
Edited: viber or whatsapp was causing this battery drain. I rooted my phone n installed greenify. Hibernating all user apps fixed the battery drain. If anyone has battery drain issue may try this solution.
Context:
My dear LG G4 started having some battery issues this summer: it would sometimes turn off at around 15%, usually if I tried using the camera app. It would turn back on, at <10%. Left idle, it would actually increase the battery %.
About 1 month ago (maybe a bit more), the problem started to increase: it would turn off at ~40% - but not always, rarely. Last week, this happened everytime. Sometimes it would turn on back with ~5%, sometimes with 30%. Anyway, weird behaviour.
So I decided to buy a new battery. Can't be sure it's 100% genuine, but reviews say it should be fine (looks 99% like the old one).
Hoping it would finally solve my issues, I put the new battery in the phone. 5% charged - well, it's new, ok, np -> charge it to 100% and then go out to lunch.
The drain was awful, in less than 30 minutes it was at 75% (moderate usage at most). When it hit 74% it turned off. Problem is, this won't even turn back on. Got back to the office, plugged in charger - battery still reported 74%, phone turned on. Disconnected the charger, 1 minute later, phone turns off.
It's like when it hits 74%, it stops working.
Any ideas? Phone is still in warranty for a month, but not sure if this kind of problem is covered.
It's also my second G4, first one was replaced due to bootloop in summer 2016.
Download Accubattery app from Play Store, for the old battery , check it's health, repeat for the new battery.
My 2.5 year old LG G4 still has bad battery life because you know the SD 808 heats up quickly specially on hot summers or while charging, the battery's no1 enemy would be heat! So with the help of the app , I found the battery health had depreciated to 69% of it's 3000 mAh (that is 2069 mAh ) If your battery is new , I think your battery health should be 90%-100% in the Accubattery app!
Buy a new battery its done
Hello.I have htc 10 from year and 4months.Never had a problems with the battery before.Usually i charge it to 100% before i go to sleep and in the night without using the phone have 93-94% in the morning when i wake up.But this morning i woke up and saw 25% 75% battery drain without using.Every time after when i using phone i delete all of the recently apps.Before 35min i charge the phone do 100% again and after 35min without even touch the phone i have 93%.I checked the apps that drain most and its this - System - 6%, Mobile networkk 2% and Phone idle - 1% and everything other 0%.
I never let down the battery to 0% to turn of the phone.Maximum 5 times my battery was lower than 15% and never used Power saver modes.Always with the last official software.Can this be a problem of the battery and can the warranty fix that battery issue ?
I tried the fix from this theme but dont see any improvment.Also i noticed that when the phone is on the charger, the phone says - "16min to full charge".I leave the phone and after 10min i look onto it and it - "14min to full charge". After another 10min - "12min to full charge."
