[Tip] How to analyze you battery drain

Hello all,
Here is my 2 cents contribution to all the people that are wondering why their batteries are out in 10 hours!
I would like to share my tool, and maybe get help with my code if people are interested.

The goal of my application is to show the battery drain in percent per hour.
This unit if for me the most important, I don't care about the charge level of my nexus.
So my analysis lead to:
5-10 % lost per hour when normal use.
more than 20% when on Youtube
about 1% (even less) during the night with wifi off.

Does it work on other devices running gingerbread??
Thanks for the app anyways!!

Yes, should work on any device, this app is really basin in term of code.
Please do not quote my whole message, it will decrease the readability of the thread!

I just updated the app and removed thhe stupid graphs to have something more easy to read:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

Great idea! My suggestion would be to add an option to show how long it takes to lose 1% for each %battery.

Great app, but it doesn't seem to work with Force GPU Rendering On

Great idea, and here are my suggestions:
Feature to show summary
Something like this:
Start logging: [datetime]
Time now: [datetime]
Duration: [?d ?h ?m]
Average drain: 1% per X minutes.
Common phone settings:
* Brightness: ?%
* Airplane mode: ON
* WiFi: ON ?%
* 3G Data: ON ?%
* NFC: ON
* Sync: ON (5 accounts ... ) <--- if possible to check/stats
* etc.
----------------
When measuring WiFi/3G percentage, just check every 1% change whether it is OF or ON
The idea is to be able to make screenshot of this summary to compare with other user when discussing about battery drain.
You know, to make this tool as some kind of "standard" tool for battery drain measurement. That would be nice.

A lot of great suggestion, the main problem is to detect when wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, etc.. are ON during a lost of percent.. I will have to make a lot of approximations!
I will create a summary screen next week!

I'm using a GSM Galaxy Nexus that is running stock 4.0.2 thats unrooted and has a locked bootloader.
I downloaded the app from the market and initilly it didn't work with GPU Rendering. Since then, I believe you pushed an update? Now the UI is blue rather than white (a good choice) and now it does work with GPU Rendering on

Great start, love to see where this one goes.

DLed it. Will try it now..

As much as I hate to analyze my phone's behavior...
...I still understand that it is necessary to know what drains the battery.
So until we get better batteries in our phones, I applaud efforts like yours. TY.

Just to be clear, my app will never try to diagnose wich app is causing the drain, I don't want to make hasardous approximations...
My goal is to display the raw data in the most efficient way and to let the user make his own decisions and compare the drain with or without an app installed or some settings turned on off.
I will try to display only very accurate data only

Just a question...
Do you need a lot of explanation for the summary windows I just created?
I don't want to make a too complicated app and will now work on making the app nicer and more clear to understant, but I would like to know what id the most diffucult to understand from your side.
Thank a lot for your feedback.

I think those look good, just an easy way to see average drain. It would be quite cool if you could break it down with a couple of averages (kind of like you mentioned in your first post):
%drain during standby
%drain while in use
I like where your app is going so far. Keep up the good work!

+1 on this.

I will of course implement that feature.
But you have to remember that the standby/in use detection will be quite approximative.
I need two consecutive points with screen OFF to start counting standby.
As you may turn on your screen during the interval, I don't like that for my computations... I can add some trigger, but I want my app to be nearly invisible regarding battery...
By the way, please wait one week or 2 and you will have something!

I'm quite good with the standby/in use detection being approximated. I'm primarily interested in seeing a value indicating battery drain in standby for long periods of time (like overnight) versus during the day while I am frequently using the device.
Definitely looking forward to what you can cook up!

Something is draining my battery!

That screen alone doesn't tell us enough...
What's the screen on time?
What's the bandwidth usage?
What's the GSM time?

Is it just me or does the battery levels at the end not match up with the battery icon at the top?
And what firmware are you using?

Where can i get this informations that u're asking for?

If you keep your bluetooth on all the time may i suggest you turn it off till needed, this will drain unnecessary life from your battery.

No, i used bluetooth for last 5 minutes before that.

I would have to have my screen on for the whole time to get my battery to drain that quick, even then i think i would hit 5 hours

If you click on each item it'll give you the detail needed to gauge how your battery is performing if you list the items I suggested, that'll be a good start.

see when you finish from facebook do you sign out or do you leave it on? and i know this may sound stupid do you have keypad tones on and lockscreen sounds on? if so untick them from settings and sound..
Simple guide to do mate. Go to my sig. Click on BetterBatteryStats thread. Download the app from that thread if you do not have it already. Fully charge your phone. Then as you go ahead and use it like normal when you come to near the end of the battery then post screenshots of your wakelocks and let us see what causes the battery to drain. that app will tell you what keeps your phone awake and what causes the drainage. that is all i can advice you with

That is what causes the drainage in my opinion. Keypad tones and facebook. But to confirm it best to do what i said above.

Zenphone 2

I have a few questions before I get a ZF2
How is the battery life now ? Did they fixed the battery drain ?
Is Lolipop 5.1 available for this phone ?
Did they improved the camera ? I remember some reviews complaining about the lack of DR in most pictures.
Thank you.

There is no battery drain on this phone. You will always find people complain about battery drain on every smartphone out there.

you should check Android authority's review and tons of people are complaining about the battery life. Maybe you got the phone with an update preinstalled ? That would be a good news !
Are you a moderate user like me ? If you are, how much battery do you have left at the end of the day ?
Thank you

I have it for a month now, got it with an old firmware, now i'm running latest. I get 6 - 7 hours sot over 24 hours. Also, don't use the integrated Asus task killer, battery saver and autostart manager. They only drain battery. I rooted and installed a custom rom that has almost all Asus apps removed but i didn't have battery problems on stock rom either. There is an "android system" that is showing on top of battery usage but it is not a problem for me as it only drains 2-3% over night. I olso turn on data, wifi or gps, only when i need them. I always get top battery life on every smartphone i have, i don't think this is coincidence or luck. The drain is exactly the same as on every other powerfull smartphone on the market.
This phone receives software updates every two weeks and is getting better and better. It just got a new update today if you look in general section. What other oem updates their flagship so often? ?

As previously mentioned, there is no extra battery drain on this phone. It holds up to a good 5-6 hours on daily use. It is an amazing device except for the camera, which is the only bad thing I find about the phone.
Incase you're wondering, ZenUI is AMAZING! I don't know why everyone hates on it, but I've used almost EVERY manufacturer's edition of Android and ZenUI is by far the best. It is the most customizable, it looks the cleanest, and it takes medium amounts of RAM. I say 'medium' because HTC takes A LOT, Sony is whatever, LG is okay, and Samsung takes TOO MUCH.
I feel like ZenUI combines the best in all of the skins and features into 1 neat package that is highly customizable. NOT TO MENTION, you get tap 2 wake STOCK while I had to custom ROM custom Kernel my HTC in order to get a battery hungry and impractical version of it.
Just buy the phone, and make sure to get the 2.3GHz/4GB RAM version.
Enjoy

I'm running stock and get ALMOST what he's getting with stock kernel.
The key is to get root and uninstall/freeze any ASUS apps you don't need/use, install Xposed and use Greenify to freeze apps after they are closed, and finally, set proper battery options such as disabling WiFi & 4G when the screen is off. I need constant email notifications so with the automatic Data Disabling option, I set the GMAIL app as its exception and I continue to get notifications at 10 minute intervals. I assume it disables the networks but re-enables them momentarily and lets GMAIL sync, then disables again. I've never seen this done before especially as a STOCK option.

there is no battery draining (for now) when both are enable anyway, so I dont see why I should turn it off. The battery start draining fast as soon as Im using it. It is by far the worst battery life I ever got.
The good news is I can apparently return the phone at no cost, not even the shipping. I will know more next week. Hurray !

Best battery measuring app for OP5

All.
Yesterday I gave AccuBattery a try. An app loaded with information and stastics.
Anyway battery was 100% at 23:00hrs. Woke up at 03:00hrs (yes I'm an early riser) and battery was at 90%!???
Day previous battery hardly decreased during the night. (That's without AccuBattery installed)
Currently have greenify installed. Plus Boeffla kernel.
Surely AccuBattery must be the culprit?
What other apps are people using, that are effective and don't drain battery like nobody's business?

I've removed it since the original post.

I have Accubattery on my O+5. I used it also with my Axon 7 before. This phone always reported a high consumption of battery coming from Accubatery. Yet, I'm not sure it was really the case, the battery didn't seem to suffer from it.
Now, I think I'm going to try GSam and see how it goes. This software is vastlty used, seems to be pretty good at telling exactly how the battery is working, which app is using too much, and so on...
I wouldn't use Greenify with my O+5, I think it doesn't work well with Nougat. But I might be wrong.

I use BetterBatteryStats , it helped me a lot debunking the wakelocks and alarms associated to the huge wifi idle drain in the 4.5.5 update
And for the charge monitor I have the very good ChargeMonitor from XDA Apps --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/charge-monitor-t3555496

Just out of curiosity for those using Accubattery, what is your battery estimate? Mine is 3073mAh with of course the 3300mAh advertised.
Weird, I had a greater estimate on my Axon 7 when the battery was advertised as less (3250 advertised and an estimate at 3300mAh)

It's a feature of the OP5
How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on the OnePlus 5
Next, OnePlus offers a helpful “scrolling screenshot” feature. This takes continuous screenshots until you tell it to stop, allowing you to capture more than what you can see on the screen at any given moment. This is helpful for capturing an entire conversation of text messages, saving a full web page or long emails.
Press and Hold the Volume Down and Power button at the same time, then let go
You will see and hear the screenshot capture
Tap on Scrolling Screenshot on the bottom right side of the pop-up toolbar (rectangle phone icon)
The phone will scroll automatically and continuously take screenshots
Tap the screen to stop
Additionally, the OnePlus 5 will stop taking screenshots when it reaches a maximum file size or reaches the end of a page. Essentially it does all the work for you and is extremely convenient. It saves automatically, and now you can edit or share the screenshot like any other image.

High battery drain with my Mi Mix 3

Hi Guys,
facing a really annoying issue with my battery usage! I have my phone since two days and from the beginning i reconized, that android system use most of the battery what is really strange! Att. some picture where you can see it. I have a SOT of a little bit of 1 h and have already used 43% of the battery. Something is using my power a lot. Some of you guys aware of this issue and has anybody a solution for me!? (MIUI 10.0.11.)

I already gave it a try, more than one reboot of the system, but still android system is at the top of the list! Overall my SOT is ridiculous.
No idea what could effect that, when i read that some user has a SOT of around 9h i'm really sad and sure that something is wrong.

I'm not sure what app is causing the issue. I get 9 hours SOT on the EU weekly for 2+ months now. I'd probably get the same results using any version of miui. I use the same apps on all my phone's and always get great battery life.

I own a Mix 3, DO NOT factory reset. Simply go to Apps, Google Play Service, clear Cache & Data. This will solve the issue. We had a discussion on MIUI forum

Yes I am actually, Nova launcher. Hm. It doesn't show as being a heavy user in the battery section though, did yours?

Not showing nova, but Android services using more then it should.. Had more then 30 %of android service usage and after switching back to miui launcher, have about 10 % max

In my case cleaning google services cache didnt solve the problem. I didnt do factory reset becouse i did it few days ago whe I bought used mix .
What I did was downloading last fw update package from phone settings and updated which means I flashed same rom I had on my mix.
Before CPU usage 100% all the time, now looks much better (see pictures)

There is a bug in the beta builds of MIUI if you are using one of those that causes ALL apps to get autostart permissions. This leads to severe battery drain. Simply going down the list and stripping most of the apps of the autostart permission fixes the problem. This has been reported as a bug to Xiaomi. I also submitted logs and bug report as I found the cause (I think) of the Verizon MMS issues.

You're right, beta builds for this device are a complete mess regarding battery consumption. Even with autostart option turned off I still have severe battery drain from "google play services".
