[Q] Fix for incorrect display % in battery usage stats? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a fix for the underestimated display use of battery? It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying.

Yes flash cm7 or miui.
Touchwiz battery stats are screwed over.. samsprint messed them up otherwise no there's not a real solution.

Thanks, but I prefer to stay on TW.
I'm hoping there's a apk/file I can edit. I just need someone to point me in the right direction so I can poke through the right classes.dex.

No. That is a Samsung issue. What Android System is displaying is basically every use of your phone. Any wakelock, display on, boot up, sync, anything needing an android driver, even charging because it has a script that runs. So Samsung believes this to be correct. Like a computer, Windows and it's drivers run 85% of the time versus the programs using processor power.
ICS ports and AOSP ROMs have redefined that to use other than those things above. The only stats you really need is display on time and percentage of deep sleep from CPUSpy for a given percentage of battery.

Are you using this rom stir?
How much of display usage time do you get before the batery dies?

4+ hours is what I'm getting. I've hit 5 hours before. And this is with 20+ hours of total battery life. I unplug my phone in the morning and plug it in when I'm sleeping.

I am using the ROM and am having similar issue. Display kills my battery.. But it has been the same on DI18, EB13, EC05 and SyndicateROM.. Also battery usage menu is horrible. I never see more than whats displayed in the photo. Never have I seen any of the apps I use appear. Not even gmail. Any good usage apps out there?

Apps stopped showing up in battery usage. Why?

Has anyone experienced this? As you can see from the attached shot, none of my App usage is showing up on my battery usage percentages. Usage includes a decent amount of time on Tapatalk, web browsing with Opera and some games. I even played about 20 minutes of Angry Birds to try to get an App to show up. Even Android OS is missing.
I've restarted multiple times, drained and charged to full, and even wiped battery stats in CWM. What the hell did I do? I'm really at a loss.

Think it has something to do with the "Desperado" kernel. I was running that before I flashed the Rogue Stock Repack and apps weren't showing up in the battery stats. After flashing the stock repack, the apps showed up again.
Thanks for the reply. I suspected it was kernel related, but I wasn't getting any replies in the kernel thread so I figured it was just me. I'll probably have to wait until Steady Hawkin sees my post(s).
Thanks again.

Pics don't work.
It is probably a rogue app.
Download a free app from market

If your looking for applications to see if apps are taking cpu cycles there is an android info app in the market that can show you all processes and cpu cycles...looking for something that stays near the top and thats probably the issue. Also make sure that you have google now disabled, NFC, and geolocation if you dont check in everywhere. These are built in "very nice" features but they constantly pull your phone out of deep sleep on the move...and god knows we all want 2 hours screen time :highfive:

High usage of "Stay awake" in Android OS under Battery settings.

Can you guys please post screenshots of how much battery Stay awake is eating in your system? I am running stock right now. No root, no mods. Should my phone "Stay Awake" this long when my screen is off ? Is 24% use of Android OS normal? This was overnight.
Thanks.

On my phone, if I have Google Now setup it drains my battery like crazy. Seems like it wakes it up very frequently to get location data.
So if you setup Now, that could be a cause.

I have that enabled as well, but never had this issue using GNex. I googled this issue and many suggested to install better battery stat to figure out what exactly is keep it awake. Will post the results when it collects more data and when I have the culprit.

MM battery 'Over-counted' bug

To anyone who can help,
I am using @Schischu's AOSP MM rom on a T700, and I keep getting this ''Over-counted' entry in my battery log that is steadily draining my battery even when the device is idle. It appeared a few days after my first install, so I did a full data\cache\system wipe, reinstalled, and it appeared again two days later. I can't find much about it anywhere, particularly no solutions, but @SalsaForte in the ROM's thread described it to me as:
"Over-counted is not an application, it's a miscalculation based on expectations vs reality. The algorithm seems to be confused by either wrong estimations and/or wrong battery capacity."
I'm using Greenify and I'm starting to suspect it might have something to do with this, but I really can't determine where it's coming from or what triggers it. It doesn't seem to affect many others that I can find. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. I've lost 5% of battery while writing this!
Thank you

Is my issue this isolated or is this just something that is understood and not discussed? I assume it's a lack of information but nonetheless the silence worries me. I realize it's a battery algorithm estimation problem and maybe a few percent is normal but it now counts for over HALF of my battery life.
