[Q] Battery issue : software or hardware ? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I facing with a big issue since a while with my battery life. The battery is draining very very fast without visible reason...
I've tried everything to spot the problem but I now wonder if it is not an hardware problem (died battery).
So how can I know if I have to replace my battery or not ?
Thanx
P.S : sorry for my english

Please give us information about Hboot, Rom, kernel, etc.

I didn't even know that I created the second topic. I suppose it's related to server problem I had few hours ago when I was told the topic wasn't created but apparently it was...
So, please close this topic and sorry :'
Thanx

Batt fix f/3VO 6.5 2.80?

Hope I'm asking this in the right place. Noticed a battery drain fix in threads for 3VO 6.5-ver2.50. Will there be one for ver,2.80? I installed 3 pixal battery bar and can literily watch it drain down. Am I the only one with this issue ? I'll live with it if I have to, love the ROM that much. I know stopping autosync stuff and shutting off data connection will help. Any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Runny Rom V6.0 Battery 20% Shutdown and Dialer Batt Drain

Hi,
First of all, thanks to

for the awesome Runny Rom. I am not sure whether he will read this post or not, anyways worth a try.
I am a noob in flashing and after trying a few ROMs for HTC Desire I reached Runny ROM v6.0. I find it very friendly and super cool. But I noticed 2 minor bug (Not sure whether its just me ). One is the Phone Shutdown at around 20% and another one is battery drain by dialer.
I searched for the same issue in XDA and google but couldn't get a fix.
Any one facing the same issue or found a solution please care to share the fix
In the mean time I have tried to do clean wipe, clean cache (all), clean battery stat, reflash, use battery calibrator, third party apps and other common stuff in google but in vain.
Since i have a few screen shots to share I started a new thread. If its a repost, I beg your pardon and please help to direct me to a similar thread in QA (As I cannot post in Developer threads).
Since I cannot post pictures here are the details
Android Version : 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version : 3.5
SW Number : Runny Rom v6.0
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10_basekernal-gfb 1198d-dirty [email protected] #18
Baseband: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build: 1.27.1400.4 CL182513 release keys
Browser: Webkit/533.1
I will try to put a picture of the graph for battery usage

Sorry cannot link pictures now.
Solution
Hi
I found a solution for the Battery death at 20% at
h.tt.p:././.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534892
(Did a search for 15% instead of 20% ....got lucky)
But Can I change the Kernel to a new one for the Batt Calibrator app as the Runny Rom V 6.0 comes with kernel built in (I guess)...
Any advice for Dialer battery drain bug is much appreciated.
Thanks

I know it is almost a year ago, but it may help anyway: the Dialer eats up lots of battery after a phone call as it keeps probing a proximity sensor continuously. One way is to restart a phone after each call (a bit silly), another is to block the proximity sensor: add "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to the build.prop file located in /system and reboot.
Search for "dialer wakelock bug" if you want other hints how to deal with the problem. The bug exists in many (all?) GB-based ROMs

[Q] Wildfire S battery Stats

Hi all, this is my first post in that forum, with a doubt about my girlfriends wildfire s. I rooted the phone months ago (unlocked + s-on) but cant find a stable and long-last-battery life with a2sd anywhere. Ive tried out with wildchild, cyano 7, miui, stocks and others ive find in htcmania (im spanish) and here in xda. She wants a ROM with Sense because of the widgets and simpleness. Now, shes using a sense 3.5 based one, but battery life cant last long more than 10h with about 1 or 1 and a half screen time... Without a2sd because it makes the phone bootloop and force closes everytime. I checkd the battery with an app that i use in my One X, gsam battery, and got immpresed about the radio drains.
Any help, suggestion? Thanks
Hi mate. I'm spanish too so i guess that you know some spanish developers such as chucky6600. He's permanently developing Sense roms and he's quite obssesed with battery friendly ones. If you are interested please contact me by MP in order not to make spam :angel:

Asking for help with battery issue.

Hi to everybody! Nice to meet you guys.
Well i'm a newbie and it's my first post so it's also my presentation for us. :highfive:
The point is that my brother has a Samsung galaxy ace II (GT-I8160). The device had the last original Samsung's firmware with android (4.1.2). So i flashed the phone with the custom rom from teamcanjica CM11 built wich is (4.4.4) stock.
The device flies compared with the stock firmware. And it's works better but i have already decalibrated the battery so i tried with the tutorial that talk about a program from the play store called battery calibration and all the steps to do it but it didn't worked. Because when i restarted the phone the percentage moves from 70% to 62% for example, and after that suddenly it shows 68%.
So in that point i don't know how to do. If someone can help me. i will apreciate very much. Thank you.
You can try Battery Calibration. It is very easy to use! Download in play store

Read please!
i said that i have already done this and it didn't worked.
What kernel are you using?
Have you checked for wakelock?
Our battery technology doesn't suffer from the memory effects thus have no need for recalibration.

I have the same issue with ace2nutzer rom+kernel.
But I had quite similar issue with stock rom. Are you sure this came with the new ROM ?
Maybe this happen when battery become old.

Okey, i informed about that, now i know what is a wakelock and i have the app called wakelock detector, but i don't know the data that shows to me means. if someone of you can guide to me i will upload a screenshot with the information to contrast the measures. :good:
I don't know how to make a screenshot.
I also have the problem of wakelocks on this ROM, and it drains battery. It seems to be a common problem on CM, and I'm not sure it has been solved on this ROM. And it's quite hard to figure it out.

Try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
I am using that, and using VanirKK + Chrono's kernel with 120+ apps, I could get a drain of 0-2%/hr on idle, and around 2-5%/hr on Ace's kernel.
Well gentlemen, i have solved the problem, i have flashed the phone with the last version of aze2nut ROM and his last kernel with novathor 1.6.6 and it fixes a lot of bugs, after flashing i callibrated again the battery and now is ok. The duration is about one day and a half so i'm happy for the result. :victory:
Thank you guys for helping me. :highfive:

Massive wakelock in Android OS proccess on H815 MM roms. Please help !

Helo to everyone,
I'm facing a serious problem lately. No matter which stock MM rom I flash I get wakelock on Android OS proccess. Let me explain all in details. The way I flash a new rom is as everybody - I wipe all partitions except internal memory and external sd card. Then I flash the new rom and later I restore my apps using titanium backup pro. I find it very usefull as with it I can restore my programs the way they were setup before the rom change/update. It's very usefull if somebody like me is doing some tweaks for battery life with amplify, greenify and etc. in which there are a lot of tweaks and settings that are needed to be applied. There are several several nice guides on xda on how to get a nice battery like my favorite one from our member v7 - ✭[GUIDE][07-02-2016]Extreme Battery Life Thread(Greenify+Amplify+Power Nap)✭ It's very time consuming to make all the tweaks on this guide on a new rom one by one so I use titanium to restore the amplify app with the setup. Anyway all was working fine and I was able to get very nice SOT and great battery life and almost no drain if I don't touch my phone - here is a screenshot what batterylife I was getting before - screenshot 1
In a few days before a new versions from our favorite modified stock roms were posted and I decided to update my rom with one of them and then after setting my phone as usual I noticed extremely hard wakelock on Android OS process. Now my phone cannot enter on deepsleep and if it enters it doesn't sleeps long enough. I did some research and the only thing I found was it maybe from Google play services. I made some screenshots from BetterBattery stats program to show for what I'm talking about. Please check all the screenshots and they speak for themselfs. I tried several guides on how to fix playstore and services but with no luck. I'm almost pretty sure that the problems are in google playstore and google play services as it seems they are running 99% of the time and are preventing my phone to enter deepsleep. I tried to freeze and remove them and my phone entered deepsleep with no problems. I don't play games and don't use any battery hog programs - the only program that is running all the time is facebook which I moded to use without messenger and it was working fine. From the screenshots it is clearly visible that it is not draining my battery. Please if anybody can help me fix this problem please write me what I'm missing or doing wrong.
I had uploaded all the screenshots on my dropbox that I made to help you guys find what my problem is. They are uploaded here also. Thank you for your time ! Wish you all to have the best battery life that is possible
Hi guys,
Today I noticed that the developer of genesys rom found about this wakelock in Android OS proccess and he removed the links to his rom until he fixes it and release a fixed version. I also read that other guys are experiencing the same issue. That is some kind of good news for me because I started thinking that I was doing something wrong, but now after I read that other people are experiencing the same issue on the new version of the genesys rom (3.9) I feel better as the problem is not at my phone and apps setup. So now all we have to do is wait till the problem gets fixed. There wasn't any responses to my thread maybe because all is looking good from my screenshots but it is acting wierd and maybe nobody wasn't able to give me a solution for this problem. But I'm sure that the developers are doing their job and they will get it fixed. Anyway I'm very interesed why this happened and would like to know more about it but we will see this in future. So if somebody else is experiencing the same problem - let's wait patiently till it get's fixed. Thank you all for spending some time to check the thread. Good luck.
A better tool that can help figure what is causing these problems is battery historian.

Generate a bugreport, check it in a txt editor and remove any sensitive info, then upload to the server setup.
You want to do this at the end of a charge cycle so you can closely examine where the drain is happening and maybe get more clues as to why.
Your case is more complicated since you are using a rom. But maybe this can still help.
Varna ? you come from gsmarena country
