[Q] Some Battery Issues - Defy General
Hello!
So, I always noticed that my battery wasn't good at all. But i thought it was OK, until a friend of mine bought the same MB525.
He asked me to flash CM7 for him (mine's CM7 too), and his battery performance was stupidly better than mine.
Comparing, my battery drains 1% every 20~25 minutes (wifi, data, sync off, 2g only), and his, 1% every hour or around 40 minutes with 2g mobile data on.
So my question is: My defy is 6 months old. So, can I run any test to diagonose my battery for capacity and any other problem it might have appeared on it's lifetime?
Notes: I already tested for everything, background apps and etc, and that's not the cause of the battery drain.
Thank you!
Additional Info: Battery Calibration was also done after flashing.
Did you charged full the battery after installing cm? ?

Yes, I did a battery callibration too =(
Try wipe battery stats in CWM , and charge the battery again

Shall I do that with a 35% charge?
Wipe battery just restart the battery charge count, i think you will not have problems with that

install battery monitor, great app for monitoring! and have you checked which color is your water damage indicator on your battery? mine is red and that means my battery got wet, which probably caused a short, and now my batt eats a lot more than before!

What you need to do:
Install CPU Spy first, so we can see if your phone is actually going into Deep Sleep.
If it is going into deep sleep most of the time how it should, then there is an app consuming insane amounts of power when the phone is on.
You should then check (after consuming the battery from 100% to about 20%) the Battery Usage to see which apps are on top. The screen is normally on top of all battery usage.
In the case your phone is not entering Deep Sleep, then that is your issue. (which is not doing from the numbers you are getting).
If you are connected to the internet using WiFi, then thi is your issue. WiFi uses a lot of power, and it prevents the phone from entering in Deep Sleep mode.
If not, well, report back and we shall move into another stuff

Installed Battery Monitor, some data collected:
Batt Level 94%
Temperature 34C/93.2F
Voltage: 4030 mV
disconnected 50 minutes ago with moderate use (2 phone calls (5 minutes total), twitter/fb check on 2G for 5 min each)
That's quite bad =(
Also, on CPU Spy, on standby the phone sleeps correctly, so, no problem with background apps and etc.
The Batt Stats were ereased too.
Obs: Sync is off.
Any other clues? Thanks!

Vitor, você já fez aquele macete de aumentar a capacidade de carregamento da sua bateria? Se não, tente isso, outra coisa que pode resolver, é voltar desde a froyo e instalar uma outra versão da CM7, já que algumas(como é o caso da estável) consome bastante bateria. Se ainda não fez a primeira alternativa, posta que eu explico. Abraço.

I followed all of the steps, then i'll run a test overnight and check wether it worked or not.
Hopefully it will!
Thanks for the help so far.

Poor battery life on all ELxx roms????
So I have had the stock(EG30) then stock + OTA(EK02). Then tried EK02 fresh full. On both of those roms, with nothing more than root, I had great battery life, could easily hit 16+ hours with 2-3 screen on time. ELxx doesn't matter if it is stock or some ones rom with scripts. Doesn't matter if it is flashed through recovery, or ODIN and whether a full or partial wipe is performed. I am lucky if I get 10 hours with 40-60min screen on time....... what gives?? I am not alone in this as I see a ton of people saying that they get crappy battery life as well, and others that are scoring more bat life. So far I have tried 4 different roms from the ELxx series with a battery calibration each time and nothing changes. So I went back to EG30 OTA'd to EK and did a battery cal and now I am back in the 18hour range with 3H 44m screen on time???? What is so frign horrible in the EL series that is causing me and others to get such crappy batt life? I am floored on how every EL rom out there says excellent or super or really long battery life when I loose 8+ hours and 2 hours of screen on time.... Don't take this as a complaint, I am simply bringing to light that something in the stock EL series of roms are really taking a toll on battery like. Also I am not mentioning my setup due to it being irrelevant because I have the phone setup the exact same on each and every rom. Since my setup is the same and differs from yours I am simply comparing my own results and not to other people, for the most part. I am showing that loose battery time in the EL series of roms and feel that if the EL is released from Sprint and I OTA the thing I could be in big trouble. So I want to see how many others are having bad battery life on EL as compared to EG/EK.
Screen on time
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Moto Z2 Play before depleting the battery. Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Battery life has been quite good.
Yeah the battery is great
Z play, not Z2 play is a beast in terms of battery life Just got over 9 hours of screen on time over 2 days
Battery life is really good, In wifi in a get 7-8 hours of sot, 1 day and 7 hours total, using only 4g I get 5-6 h.
La batería ha durado bastante, me ha dado 12 horas, es muy buena no pensé que me fuera a dar tantas horas de pantalla
I'm coming from a Moto X Pure/Style which has a poor battery. So I'm pretty pleased with this phone and battery life. 12 to 14 hours of battery life and around 8 hours of SoT with heavy use of the phone. Music, some high demanding games, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp, Instagram and a lot of browsing using Chrome. The brightness always at 25%-50% (Depends) and even with the annoying haptic feedback of the fingerprint sensor for gestures turned on.

My cell standby is a bit lower than screen.
I have the Verizon version, it seems pretty good to me., 1 hr & 54 minutes so far on this charge

30% left, 9h sot. If I would have waited till 5% it could very well be 10 to 11h max sot. This all with usage of WiFi and LTE throughout the day, some gaming (Lara Croft Go, Horizon Chase) and streaming. All things done equally. If I would deactivate Tasker another 30 minutes could have been saved. Never had such awesome battery life. Although I've cheated for a little bit - my whole device theme and websites viewed are dark...
You can easily use this phone for 6 hours a day without worrying about it the battery. For example I used it 3 hours today on medium load and it still did not hit the 50% mark. My Moto Z was about 3x worse and even the Axon 7 did not manage more than 4h screen on time.
Phone slows down if battery is lower than 10%
Hello, my Moto G5 XT1676 slows down if battery is lower than 10%. Is it bug or a feature (decreasing performance to save energy)? Does it happen to anyone's other phone? Thanks in advance.
is a feature of the cell, it reduces the clock CPU to save battery below 10% Original language é um recurso do celular, ele reduz o relógio da CPU para economizar bateria abaixo de 10%
You can disable it in settings in the battery section, if you want.
Screen refresh rate
Is it possible to increase screen refresh rate in our device?
Sure , it's easy. Use the microfiber cloth more often. Envoyé de mon Redmi Note 5 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes, it's possible.

Question red magic 8 pro, fast charge and maximum fan speed
I hope you can help me with a situation that I have with my redmagic 8 pro. I have auto fan set to start when the phone is plugged in for fast charging, so the fan starts on low speed. Lately when connecting the phone for charging, the fan starts, but at maximum speed (without being active). It is normal? Or is my phone getting hotter than it should be in the charging process and that's why the fan starts at maximum speed?
El ventilador lo puede configurar su modo de arranque y si lo deja que inicie cuando carga, si el terminal esta caliente por la parte del procesador es normal que vaya a máxima de velocidad
