[Q] Can someone take a look at my batterylog?

A couple of days ago I noticed my phone partying on my precious mAh's, it won't even last a full day anymore and even though it's being used quite alot I haven't changed my usage and still got a full day and more earlier.
I have auto-sync, wifi and 3g on constantly. But facebook sync is manual, other than that it's just skype(only when I'm logged in) and whatsapp and ofc google services. I think all Google's stuff uses push? I can't find any sync settings for that.
I should add that removing the widget was the first thing I did when I woke up so no actual usage is in the battery log. After that I checked tapatalk for 5 mins and put the phone down, after 20 min battery was down to 60% just like that...
I don't get why it uses around 40 mAh for a minute so often, at one point it was up to 162 mAh. And what the hell was it doing at the end? 60-100 mAh for a full hour? And only because I stopped it, could go on for alot longer I guess...

battery stats
Hi that is weird coz ur stats were excellent up till 8.20 ish, how about adding the 'Log running applications' setting in current widget to see what's turning on and draining ur battery.

Okay, I'll run another log tonight. Too bad the log gets like ten times harder to read with that option.

u could see it urself aswell btw, in current widget, go to analyze log and select top processes, itll tell u what is draining sorted with the biggest power consumer. from ur earlier log standby should be at ~4ma and whatever is at the top is ur culprit. but post the results anyway just to be sure

I can't find that option? Anyway tonight it was a mess: EDIT I somehow didn't see the update in my apps...
The top of the list reads: com.cyanogenmod.cmparts(what's this?); gentle alarm(gotta have this...) and audiowidget(I don't even have the widget on a homescreen)

CMparts is cyanogen settings,
audiowidget is the audio manager app -https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&hl=en
u need to remember that android has a memory management system which doesnt shut apps down immediately and only suspends them, it does this for quick recalls of a recently used app. when the phone needs more memory for a bigger app it then kills of the oldest recently used app, to free ram. you can use the task manager to kill apps off manually but not recommended since it may or may not destabilize android itself.
As for the battery drain, its actually very good, u lost 1% per hour with all of those apps running. The spikes that happens is just the phone syncing background data such as facebook, foldersync, etc as well as standby apps such as viber and go launcher activating from when you actually waking the phone up from suspend.
Google does use push sync, if this bothers you u can shut it off from Settings > Privacy > untick backup my settings - note that this will wipe backed up data and application history from google servers and not ur phone - doing this wont wipe calendar or contacts as that belongs to gmail.
if u actually notice on current widget during idle the phone sits between 1mA to 5mA. this is the expected range, now say if u open facebook it should spike up, on mine this spikes up to ~263mA for a while till it finishes downloading.
Wifi is another cause as well, since it usually disconnects after a certain period unless u specify the wifi to never standby, it will use up power to scan for the signal every so often and then reconnect.
Apart from that ur battery consumption is excellent. you can expect to use the phone regularly (browsing, calls, etc) w/o charging for a couple of days.

Thanks for an excellent reply. The thing is it usually lasted a full day and with around 30% left. Now I need to charge it around 9 or 10 so it's a couple of hours short. I use my phone alot, about an hour of music, constant wifi, games, Tapatalk, browsing and lots of texting. I was actually surprised it lasted as long as it did and even if my battery life is good now it was alot better before.
I have noticed that sometimes, say I've just exited and game with 80% left. After five minutes it can go down to 70%, don't know if my indicator is failing or my battery is crazy.
Btw wifi policy is set to never.

[Q] Wrong stats on Bluetooth activity

Hello, i'm using betterbatterystats to check my battery life.
Everything is OK but i have a strange behaviour.
The App says that my bluetooth is always ON

but my Bluetooth is always OFF :
and i double checked in Parameters, and even restarted my phone, still same problem ....
Then today i checked my batterys stats and i get this :
My log is 19h10m5s long, and i have 2% of Bluetooth time.
But when i look at bluetooth time it says also 19h10m5s
so it should be 100 %, shouldn't it ?
Anybody also experiencing these strange Bluetooth stats ?
My Bluetooth is ON or OFF ?
Thanks.

battery stats doesn't really work, looking about the forums you see if you put wifi on all the time it says you have No or unknown signal for the same time as wifi was on.
you can look at your own screen shot for this one
seems it doesn't report as it should on the HOX

Hi, it is quite sure that betterbatterystats doesn't work but it's the system logs which is in fault not the app itself.
Even the stock app shows strange values on Bluetooth and wifi as you mentioned ...
In the case of the One X it is very useful to read those stats, but if they are totally wrong, how can we do a correct analysis of battery drain ...
By chance it is rarely bluetooth or wifi that drains the battery.

apagado es mejor!!!

19+ hours on battery with 65% left, and you call that a drain?

Hello, i have no drain, and never said that.
I just noticed those strange bluetooth stats when checking battery usage ...

Can you disable widget locker and associated power widgets in you home screens and figure out?
I would imagine some kind of interaction comes into the equation with these 3rd party programs.
Bonne chance.

Hello, thanks, it is a good idea ...
I removed the power widget on the home page and disabled widget locker.
I restarted my phone. Weirdly i had to insist to restart the phone.
When pushing power button, after 3 seconds, the lower buttons were blinking
but it didn't start, and then keeping power button 3 ou 5 seconds longer the phone restarted .
That is not the first time i noticed that the phone doesn't start or stop normally ...
At restart, i didn't see 100 % "bluetooth on" in betterbatterystats.
It looks like problem is solved ...
I will let the phone like that for a moment and put again the power widget on home page to see if i get the error back.
And then activate back widget locker.
Merci.

I activated the bluetooth for some minutes and turned it off.
Now i see on betterbatterystats that it is still ON in stats.
I refresh and the time "bluetooth on" is increasing.
I will wait a moment to see if bluetooth appears on "stock" battery stats.
It looks like a android system issue with bluetooth stats

If you feel you have found a bug in BBS I would be glad to help you clarifying what is wrong (or fix what has to be fixed). But please take the discussion to the right thread.

[Q] Battery drain question

So, when i updated to official JB , i immediately went abroad, so i didn't have access to packet data. When i returned home, and when i turned on packet data, i am getting higher battery drain. I am not turning off packet data at all because i was used to that. Can that be the cause of my higher battery drain. Syncs are turned on, also auto update on weather..
Here is screenshot of battery details. You could see that i charged it a bit atm cause i need battery to write this thread. You can also see that i used a bit of wifi.

Most of us are now seeing higher drain on JB exactly like your pics show. That's how mine looks too. Look at all the awake lines. I just assume its because I'm now running Google now. I've been planning to turn it off and test but just been lazy. On ICS my idle battery was dead flat and showed not a single awake line.

even im facing the same battery is pathetic
is there any way to increase ??

I swiched to Android Revolution HD 6.0.1 (with JB 4.1.1) ans since then I have a higher drain on my phone.
The strange thing is I have a lower, wehn I turn it off, but a much higher when I'm using it for browsing or anything connected with the screen.
It seems that either the changings have a higher usage on the graphic area or that (somehow) the screen uses more power.
I have noFrissl installed , and it tells me that most of the time the CPU is at 350MHz, so this can't be the reason.
Anytime I use the screen (by an app (even without internet)) it sucks the battery faster dry than at 4.0.4
I'd appriciate a solution and to be able to use my phone more than just 1.5 days (but more the two days I had before)

Ok this is the thing:
When i use my phone modest, i have great battery life. It means that im using wifi for half of the day, using it for taking photos, playing some games etc. As soon as i turn on mobile data network, i have higher battery drain...

I would agree with this comment. For me...mobile data always is a battery killer. I always use WIFI over it and turn off my 3G unless I need it. I save a ton of battery life. Your phone always is gonna have more significant drain hunting for towers and for a good signal. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Hi everyone,
I dont have this great battery drain, using always mobile data on and wifi when i'm on home.
The first thing you can do for better battery is install franco kernel r230-jb or Fugumod ( <3 ) kernel, this help alot with consumption and have no negative effect.
second thing is remove haxsync or facebook app , using tweakdeck ( support facebook&twitter ) or only one ( Facebook ) or mobile browser ( no update ) , its more less battery expansive.man with that usage, you are very lucky with this battery life, you have a lot of ~45% screen on ( ~4-5 hours ) with 8% facebook cpu usage, and ~8% haxsync , and some calls, of course battery go down so fast
another suggestion is always stay on 2g, switch on 3g(4g?) only when need ( for me never, because i use twitter/pulse/facebook update/web, twitter go good also 2g network data, pulse too, facebook is extremly low, but update and notification work, web is fast with Opera Mini.
No problem at all.
ALWAYS REMOVE GOOGLE NOW, ITS USELESS AND THE FIRST CAUSE OF BATTERY DRAIN

From previous posts on Q&A thread:
My GS3 i747m lasts around 50-55 hours per charge cycle..
It is running stock Rogers GS3 ICS, not rooted, all stock. Battery is stock as well.
Not using LTE, using HSPA+ ("4G") with data turned ON with Sync turned OFF
(**NOTE: sometimes, the battery is drained due to poor reception, and the phone will use more power for the cellular signal.. In my case, my 3G connection in my area seems alright for the most part, about 1 bar less from full)
Power saving is turned ON. WiFi powersave is turned ON.
Moderated WiFi usage in 2.4ghz 802.11g-mode only.
Every night when I go to sleep, my flight mode is turned ON. (I sleep around 9-10 hours everyday, so the phone stays on flight mode for 9-10 hours a day)
In the morning, I turn the flight mode OFF.
Bluetooth, GPS both are turned OFF
Screen brightness turned 1/4 brightness
LED notification turned OFF
Also, I have a task killer killing ALL BACKGROUND SERVICES every half hour.
Without killing all the background apps, my RAM usage is around 600-700 MB out of 1.6 GB of RAM
Killing all the background apps brings the RAM usage to around 360 MB of 1.6 GB
Without killing background apps, my battery life is shortened even when the phone is on standby.
Do this, and your battery life is pretty good..

Please stop killing background apps because it's really pointless. If you want to increase your battery life, the first step is to use BetterBatteryStats to diagnose wakelocks and ensure that nothing in the background is chomping up precious mAs while the phone isn't in use.
After that, disabling always-on mobile data is basically the best way to ensure that your battery is stretched as far as possible for use in standby.
When in use, only using LTE for when you really need the extra bandwidth will save a lot of battery. So will using all black wallpapers, using dark themes for icons, Touchwiz, and applications. Another really useful way to save battery is to use Samsung's browser background changer that you can use to make websites have black backgrounds if you need to save even more battery while in use.
Of course, after just eliminating partial wakelocks, you have to give up a lot of time and effort in order to reduce battery drain while the screen is on, while trying to reduce battery drain while the screen is off will require losing a lot of "smart" in smartphone.

BATTERY DRAIN FIX - Asus Zenfone 2 64gb ZE551 ML (ASUS_Z00AD) - MM - Stock - No Root

Dear Friends,
Short Read: Disable Asus Cover Application and Reboot.
Full Story:
I recently bought an Asus Zenfone2 as I needed a Dual SIM Dual Active phone. Last week I observed that battery was draining quite fast and phone was feeling warm too, which is definite hint to an issue. As I dug into Battery usage, I found that the phone was always Awake - obviously leading to fast battery drain.
I searched the net for a possible fix but could not find a concrete one. One thread suggested disabling selected Apps only in Auto Start Manager - but the screen to identify "Running Processes" is not there in Marshmallow.
So I started on my own and the plan was to disable everything possible and see if that fixes the issues. So I uninstalled many downloaded apps, disabled all preloaded apps (including Weather which provides clock on lock screen), disabled location, location scanning, blocked most notifications, and so forth. After I rebooted, to my joy, the device was cool and was not Awake all the time.
After that I slowly start enabling apps in batches, leaving the phone for some time and monitoring the Awake status. Over a period of 2 days I enabled back all the apps, kept location on (but location scanning off), enabled lock screen notifications. But the phone was still going to sleep and not Awake all the time. I was surprised as I wanted to identify the rogue app and here I was back will all apps and phone performing good with battery. On the third day, while I was playing around with settings trying to enable few more things, and it started again! I could feel the phone warmer in my pocket within minutes and the Battery Status showed that the phone was being Awake continuously. The only thing I had done was to enable "Show Status Bar" in lock screen, enable bluelight filter, and also started Themes and Asus Cover apps and closed. I reverted all the settings changed but phone was still all Awake. Then I stopped the Asus Cover App, disabled it, and rebooted. Now things were fine again!!
It seems that once your *start* Asus Cover app, it does some initial set up that starts keeping the phone Awake, even if you leave the check box to enable cover unchecked. May be it starts checking for magnetic proximity to make the phone sleep, and since I don't have Asus cover it was not going to sleep. So there seems to be some bug in this app.
So friends, this is my finding after two hard days of investigation. Please try if you are also suffering standby battery drain, with phone Awake all the time, and you don't have Asus Cover.
After the fix, here's how the battery drain looks like after 100% charging and then 1 hour of standby - only 1% battery drained!
