[Q] Weird CyanogenMod (nightly) Battery Usage stats.

I have a desire z and I am using a recent nightly and loving it but I have one concern my battery usage stats are like these:
After Charging and letting it go standby at night:
When I woke up after 7 hours battery was %89.
Usage was: Cell standby : %46
Phone Idle : %41
Display: %7
Wi-Fi : %5
Now you may tell me it is normal to have only cell standby if I let it go standby but even if I use a lot of gps and google maps for around an hour maybe it still show a lot of cell standby. And when I am using the phone I feel like it drains the battery a lot.
Are these stats normal. I remeber on my stock rom My display was always eating the battery like %40 %50 ish now display never shows above %10 even if I use the phone a lot!
Is this because of radio? Should I try different radios? I had radio that came with downgrade of my Desire Z and than I flashed the neww Bell radio.
Please help cause I am not sure if this is normal.

Noone ? any idea?

I'm on CM7 #186 since Sunday and my battery's live is slightly higher than with stock Gingerbread.
I recommend that you install "Battery Monitor Widget". It uses a lot of RAM, but it has some pretty good statistics what's using the battery.
About the display: I think in stock the battery display stats are wrong. Mine had always 70%. On CM7 it's 7% right now after two working days and moderate news in the evening. Phone idle is 43% right now.

Probably the display usage is wrong on stock rom but i am not really sure. I will try that app you recommend thx.
So my stats arent that weird.

[Q] high battery drain on ARHD 6.1.0

hi all, i am experiencing ridiculous battery drain on my desire hd. usually last about 10hrs with little to moderate use, have tried battery calibration but did not make any difference? i quite often see battery drain of 100 - 300 mah but do not know what is using that power.
Any other known fixes?
Am going to do a clean flash of 6.1.1 over weekend to see if this helps...

yep... when i was on ARHD 5.2 with the older radio i never had this problem.
i have noticed the battery drain on standby quite often. i have sent just a few text messages and read a few e-mails today and battery already down to 47% after just 8 hours, which is only because i refrained from using it too much...
i'll tried the calibratiojn by damo but charged while the phone was switched on... will try this again like you said,
thanks

Battery drain -

I am still experiencing high battery drain issues. I am using Badass Battery Stats, and I am seeing high battery use from App Usage (30%), with System (com.htc.launcher) taking 16%.
Is this normal, are you guys seeing similar results? What is your Launcher usage?
I am at 65% after 10 mins of screen usage and 3 hrs of standby.
For comparison, my phone lasted like 35 hrs yesterday/the day before, with ~2 hrs of screen usage.

your best bet is to use BetterBatteryStats and that will give you a more detailed explanation in what is draining your battery when screen is off. Launcher should not really eat that much battery it is normally the screen. so if i was you i would remove that app for one charge cycle and try bbs which you can get from a thread here on xda and found out from that what is eating your battery my friend

*#*#3424#*#* -> More -> Battery Test and if it's faulty ask for a return/exchange. I got around 87% +/- 1 after1 hour of the test.

I actually swapped my unit once already, the last one had drain issues as well. I wonder if it's something on my software end.
BetterBatteryStats couldn't find anything unusual on my last device, but I will try it on this guy as well.
Will try the battery test as well, thank you.

I have a ton of contacts (1k+) that got imported from my Gmail. I wonder if the device is trying to sync those, which causes some of the battery issues - since the included "Contacts" package is indicated in the screenshot I attached.
I turned off auto-sync for contacts, will see if that helps at all.

solution...

Get Slim ICS installed. I've tried almost every ROM out there for the HOX, and this is by far the best battery consumption I've ever had!

A new ROM is a solution, but was hoping I could get stock working fine first... :/
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to diagnose what could be causing that htc.com.launcher is taking so much battery? I'm up to 25% now.

Is it me or are people using Badass Battery experiencing bad results for battery?
Well let me tell you when I use it I get worse battery. It tells you what is using your battery, but when I decide to disable some of the things it picks up on. I get worse battery life. Also the app itself drains a lot of battery.
I am not an expert, but some the items disabled are integral to the system. And the system trys to enable these apps, but can't. It's like batteries playing hide and seek with the apps and running out of breath.
I got my ram usage down to 490 mb ish with all apps killed, but I had the worst battery life ever. It was draining fast even with the phone in sleep, and I had random apps I disabled starting (Flickr and PDF viewer).
My advice is trial and error. Use the task manager as apposed to these battery heavy apps, and if you find a place where you are getting awesome battery results, stop tinkering!
Edit: a bit enthusiastic in the Ram department.

There's a new battery monitor just come out for free on the play store called carat.
This app's meant to tell you which apps are using your battery and compares it to other phones.
It has to monitor your device for a week before it can give you the results but if it works properly it will be worth it.

have you found a solution? I have the same issue and don't know how to fix

I'm a new user of one x and the battery drain is appalling....i charged it full and was just playing around customizing the phone/settings and i could see it was draining one percent every one to two minutes!
I'm coming from sgs2 although it wasn't great but wasn't as bad as this!
Also, following my customisation etc i changed the sim card and all my customized settings such as wallpaper etc reset back to default!

I, for once was having the same problem..but after one week or two, the battery seems quite stable, and after I played among those beautiful ROMs, I can get the most out of my battery..thank God, I hope you will have the same experience..
Maybe if you wanna stay stock, start to analyze what 'culprit' that actually drained your battery..try using the search bar and use different search terms such as 'battery saving guide' bla bla bla..there are several thread have discussed the same issue..

I am on stock Rom and this is the first full charge after a factory reset although the phone is not brand new but a few months old...

Hi guys..after a few charges it has improved a little but not by much...don't understand why it goes down in 2% increments?
Also i keep hearing random notification type sounds without any notifications...why is this as I'm using stock Rom and unrooted?

Sorry...i know it's the wrong thread for the question but finally why can i see the text message sender's name and the content of the text message inside notification bar even though I've selected not to show this in the stock messaging app settings?
Have a good day...

Try disabling Location & Google Search (Settings -> Location). Noticed that Google services drained 65% of my battery, and heated up the phone. And it only happens when I turn on wifi and update the weather widget, which uses network location service. The drain won't stop until I restarted. Under the services, there's a network location service. So I tried disabling the said setting. Not sure if it will work for you, but it won't harm if you try.

Battery Drain Problem

So I bought my ATT GS3 out in Los Angeles this summer and then I returned to New Jersey to find that I have horrible battery life. It was not right away so this could be completely unrelated. As of right now my phone is at 75% and I let it drain while i was sleeping for 10.5 hours. I have tried several different roms which are usually good the first two days and then after that the battery life is bad again. I thought it may be some application I have installed so I removed a few of the ones I remembered downloading since I got back to NJ. I also updated to the latest radio ending in H9 because I was two behind when I checked. I have attached some battery information below. Any help anyone could provide would be great. I have tried Juice Defender which did save some battery life but it also caused a problem where I couldn't use the internet for 10 seconds after I wake the phone.

U need a Rom with cell standby fix
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I thought the cell standby problem only effected the international GS3? If the cell standby fix was the problem then I shouldn't actually be draining that low right? Something must be draining the battery then. Google maps is probably draining the battery but how do I stop that from happening?

No its not just international and it is cell standby using almost 10% battery

try Triune ii or Black jelly 0.7 i tried them both on my s3 these both hav good battery backup..

Ariel 2.10 fixes everything!

I just installed the standby fix and im going to test that and see if it helps. If that doesn't work I'll try the other roms everyone has suggested. Will take a little while to make sure whats good and whats not though. Thanks for the advice.

Just another observation. Battery tends to drain faster if you leave it in your pocket. If you flash a rom, you might have to calibrate the battery stats. I only lose 1% every 2 hours overnight if I leave it on a cold surface.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

So I have tried a few different roms and I'm still not happy with the battery life. I calibrate the battery after every rom installed and I usually keep that rom for atleast 2 days to test it. Right now I'm on AOKP. If the phone is on standby whats the general %/hr? When I go to sleep my phone drops from 92%-75% for about 10-11 hours (on desk at temp 60F). By Apocalypse487's response I should only see a drop of 5-6 % over night when I see 17%. Am I supposed to me losing this much battery life over night? To me I feel like I barely use my phone. Today wasn't too bad with 1 hr with screen on and about 1 hr in calls. I made it about 1 day 1 hour 36min on battery. My phone was sleeping for about 23.5 hours. Is this the typical battery life or is something wrong with mine? Tonight I'm going to try juicedefender and see if that helps.

I'm using ParanoidAndroid based off of CM10. Version 2.16 of PA gave me the best battery life. Try that. Certain Roms have better battery management, but that probably depends on the kernel. PA uses stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I'll give ParanoidAndroid a try and see what that does. So Juicedefender ended up making it so I only lost 1% over 9 hours. Thats pretty good. Way better than I wanted. So what could be draining the power over night. Is it because my data is on all the time but shut off when using Juicedefender?

I use Trinue 2, and I use an app called Go Power Master.
In GPM you can setup options that will turn off mobile data/gps/wifi when the screen is turned off, will automatically turn them back on when the screen is back on.
Those things little things I find can make a big difference for the battery to last throughout the day.

It's as Sianspheric says, common things like gps, data, and wifi uses power. I just started using Juicedefender since my friend told me it helps. Also download battery calibration. It's a root only app. Don't let your device discharge completely. It's bad for Lithium Ion batteries. That will clear out any bad data from Samsung.

[Q]Drunk battery?

Hello guys,
You might not know me, but i'm new to the Desire HD forums. I just bought one from a friend and i realy love the device.
Anyway,
I thought i might aswell root it. So after 3 hours, i finally managed to root my Desire HD/ace.
While flashing This Rom, 4EXT recovery said i had 50% battery left.
After flashing, and booting, the Device said that the battery was 95% full?
Is there something wrong with my Radio?
Thanks in advance,
TheRinseM.

Radio has nothing to do with battery (at least as far as spikes; I suppose a more inefficient radio could drain more battery). Did you full wipe before flashing? How old is your battery?

No the flashed ROM's on our Desire HD particularly ICS and JB have a problem with Battery %. Sometimes you can get random falls and a reboot will usually put the % right again. If you charge to 100% overnight then go into recovery and reset battery stats it can help.

My battery said it was 56%, then i did a reboot, and it was 95%. But wiping battery stats works! Thanks alot!

Mine has the drunk battery too. I really have no idea what the battery percent really is ever, but it never runs out before getting down to 0% so at least I have some reserve. I have the original battery in mine.

wipe battery stats in recover, I think.

Did not work. Stock and cm10.1 it's the same no matter what I try. I "calibrated" the battery several times. Has no effect. I guess the battery isn't as bad as it first seems because after it gets below reading around 40% it drops slower the lower it gets. 1% will last another half hour screen on time playing a game.

New battery may fix this. I had this jumping around issue a few months ago irrespective of the ROM and it turned out the battery was dying.

My next step is a new battery when I have the money. That's what I think is the problem as well.

1% lasting 1/2 hour screen on is very good what are your battery stats, Mine is about 13 1/2hrs with 30% left using in 3g plus Sync and internet and calls and navigation on AOKP 7/4/13.

With screen on it can go from 100% to 45% in like half an hour or less iv think. Once below 40% it lasts a while. I can get a day out of it moderate use. Should be good once I replace the battery.
