[Q] Battery issue while on 3G

Dear,
I have been on forums for a while with my wakelock issue. msm_hsic_host and com.android.internal.telephony.ACTION_CHECK_NETSTAT, but I have not found any solutions.
Things that I tried so far:
- Different official ROMs
- ARTMOD
- disabling fast dormancy
- terminating NlpCollectorWakeLock with wakelock terminator under xposed, re-enabling it, and
- modify Nlp bouncing to 3600
- uninstalling fb app and messenger
- disabled LG apps
- removed google play services updates
The increased battery drain is only up when on 3G (I have no 4G/LTE subscription)
I am definetely want to use LG's official firmware...
What kernel, rom, and settings do you recommend to use?
Please help me to fix that

Check if there are apps with using sensors.
I had same issue with similar problem. I solved it with delete apps that using sensors.

Thanks for your report, I'm going to try it out.
Meanwhile, I found out that I am using E97510H-232-10 which is referring to an Austrian carrier. (E97510H-MCC-MNC - is that the pattern?)
Firstly I want to install E97510H-EUR-XX firmware, and then check if anything draining my battery.

Improving battery longevity

I've had Lollipop since the intro and and at first it was fine then it started to be buggy. I decided to hard reset and the phone works better but what I miss was the stellar battery longevity. From an unplug at 7 am I'd have 45-50% by 7 pm, now that's gone. I have 13% by &pm. Keep in in mind that I have a retail version and turned off any app possible that I don't want to work ,plus used Debloater. Lastly I use Greenify .
Looking at the battery specs I see that the Exchange services are at the top . Plus I see that Nova launcher is high on therunning list. This is a new version and i wonder if it's a power eater?
Here's what's in the running list-
settings- 210mb
nova- 71mb
weather app- 24mb
ipec - 8.3mb
securitymanagerservice- 5.4mb
passpoint settings- 4.4mb
android- 5.4mb
Bluetooth- 9.7 mb, Bluetooth is off and used only when i need it but still shows in this list
google play- 52mb
contacts- 15mb
context service- 17mb
email- 43mb
exchange- 20mb
greenify- 8.8mb
samsung keyboard- 45mb, why does the keyboard have to show and it's not being used
systemui- 16mb
Thanks in advance

Well, I'm not sure why you're using the data you've provided to try to explain battery usage. The data you've provided looks like the amount of RAM the app/file occupies. The amount of RAM an app or process uses is not indicative of the amount of battery that will be consumed when that app/process is running. A much better indication of what's going on with battery consumption is data that indicates what and how much battery is being used by an app or process...like screen on time or cpu time used by an app.

If I understand you rightI think you're talking about the settings /battery area-
if so
Exchange services are at 4%
Android system- 1%
Android OS- 1%
Email- 1%

Yeah, that area gives you a better idea of what is using the battery. If you really want to analyze what is using the battery resources in your phone you need to download and run an app that is designed to monitor your system and report what is using battery resources, how much and when. There are a number of apps in the Play Store that will do that. Many of them are free, but the better ones will cost you a dollar or two. But, if you're really interested in finding out what is "eating" your battery resources it may be well worth a dollar or two.
Here's list of the most common battery hogs: Facebook, live wallpaper, apps that sync data or other information every minute or two, screen on time-how often are you looking at the display and for how long, streaming video and music, gps, wifi, nfc and bluetooth turned on but not needed or in use, widgets open and running but not needed or used.

Facebook, I use a browser link not the app
no Live wallpaper
apps that sync data or other information every minute or two- sounds like the emails. There doesn't seem to be a tweak anywhere for that
no streaming or music
GPS is on but didn't seem to bother before the reset
Wifi - used on demand
NFC- don't use
Bluetooth-also used on demand but is still listed as running when off
The only widget i use is my weather app- I do like it though- Weather XL
Thanks

About Facebook app and Messenger

Hi cant find accurate answer about the issue of battery drain of fb app and messenger
so im asking us this true? they used more battery than other apps and also more ram used and still wake up even ur phone is in doze or idle? thanks for answering and sorry for my bad english
----------------------------
i dont know whats the meaning i installed betterbattery
please explain to me heres my screenshots

You can verify this by installing BetterBatteryStats, download here.
After installing, just let it get stats, use your phone like you regularly do, and then see the Partial Wakelocks and Alarms section to see the apps draining your battery. That being said, there are also other sections of the app that would give you detail to where your battery is going.

thanks ill try it
i have 16% in fb app and 14% in messenger alarms whats that mean? thanks
no fb apps on partial wakelocks

@t0per666 : What rom are you using there?

Yes, facebook has made a very bad app, which consumes large portions of ram, battery and also reduces performance.
Rather than using facebook official app, i recommend on using folio, folio uses less ram and battery but still not good enough.

Run far away from the fb app or anything connected to it. I access via my browser.

The kernel that comes with CM13 works reasonably well. A few things can cause excessive battery drain and its not just the kernel that is at fault. We don't know all the settings and installed apps of the people who have claimed long battery life for their phones after flashing this rom or that kernel, or even if their testing methods are reliable and can be compared with others. So any claims about long battery life is very suspect.
Google services has always had a big problem with power drain because of bugs. Google's location data gathering is not only bad for privacy but for draining power as well. And many free apps tend to use too many non-related permissions and they may misuse google play services which also drains power. So the easiest thing is install the bare minimum of google apps (start with google pico package) and use xprivacy to tighten up permissions. I think nothing can be can be done with rogue apps that use google play services.

What do you use your phone for if you don't install google play and gapps? Many people including some reputable posters liked Kairi's Xcelerate for increasing battery life but there isn't a version yet for MM. You could try the God's kernel which works with CM13 but it looks buggy from the looks of things.
I doubt any kernel (Xcelerate included) can instantly transform the redmi 1s and give it good battery life. 4-5 hours of SOT is reasonably good and believable. Claims of 12-16 hours otoh......

does removing snapchat and Facebook help battery life

I see everyone posting crazy good sot and here I am getting 3 or so with stock 8. 0 and custom kernel. Is no one using snapchat and Facebook apps on their phone? I'm trying to figure out why my battery life is not as good.

Snapchat App I don't know, but removing Facebook, definitely yes, Facebook is awesome but very battery hungry app.

Snapchat is the biggest battery hog app probably followed by Facebook and Facebook messenger. Unfortunately I use both quite a lot so understandably my battery is about half of what others get but oh well

I get like 7 to 8.5 SoT everyday on OB3 stock kernel even with facebook apk, messenger lite and instagram or whatsapp not using greenify or any battery saver just all my apps on black amoled substratum themes, this phone's battery is amazing!

Removing both not only prolongs your battery life, but also your general life

Snaochats hogs all of my battery. Sometimes it uses 30% of my battery. Way more than fb

Battery usage varies from person to person.
Your screen on time will be less even if you are not using any battery hoging apps, when the phone is idling for more than a day.
You get more SOT if you use phone continuosly.
Also screen brightness matters

You might need to get an app like Gsam Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats to see if something is keeping your phone from sleeping. Facebook could definitely be a culprit but I can't really say for sure because I don't use it.

For Facebook and Messenger use Lite version, looks bit strange at beginning but give Your phone way better battery life.
