Screens off but sucking the power still

Hay I just left my phone on over night to see what uses the most battery with me doing anything.
The screen used 30% of the battery, what is odd is that everything in the settings is off or set to the lowest it can be set to.
Can you guys help me with how to save more battery from the screen, this is silly that its using so much when it's not doing anything.
What can you think of to help?

Are you unrooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Have you tried taking battery in and out? Or even when these things happened when I was not rooted I found turning airplane mode on and off to work or rebooting the phone as it might of just been a rogue app not allowing the phone to sleep.

hi ,
i would say it is a app,behaving badly ,( badly coded, battery drain? ) that's draining your battery like that ..?
i would suggest try "currentWidget " to check you battery drain ( just remeber to enable the log file, in settings !
my drain, if i leave it overnight,
say about, 9/10 hours, is about 3%/ 4% for this period ( 1mA /3mA a hour )
also try "SystemPanel " to monitor you applications over period of time .
i had same problems as you,
say 15/20% battery drain ,from time to time ,but everytime managed,to id the culprit , with above apps ..!!!
you can find both applications in the market ?
you also don't need, any root for these apps above .
good luck

I'm using LEEDROID v5 I think which shouldn't make a big difference.
Thanks in will download the app and see what they say

Now using cord Droid this is much better on the battery.

regarding the OP, with a lot of the newer kernels the power monitoring stuff is snafu, confirmed by Mad-murdoch on cm, thus the reports of what's using the power are useless, although the overall usage is correct.

What app to use to find running apps?

Hey guys. What is the best app to find apps that are running and eating up battery? Yesterday my phone starting having abnormal battery drain when the screen is off. I lost 30% overnight! Yikes!

Just use the stock App Manager in settings. And if battery is an issue, go to About Phone, then battery and you can see whats been using it. Hope this helped

i like ZDbox app.

don't use task manager they screw **** up more then they fix, suggestion,
Find the list of safe to remove apps and remove ones u don't need, apps lik keis, mms, gmail/email, etc are constantly running, remove and replace wirh 3rd party counterparts.
Use a rom with CIQ removed, use undervolting scripts helps with battery aswell.
I can't stress this enough, DONT USE TASK KILLERS unless u know what their actually designed for.
Think of it like a PC in this sense, if you use taskmanager and kill a load of programs, depending on what u kill, can have horrible side effects, in the sense of android, when an apps not closed properly, peices can still exist in the ram.
Those peices can have effects on that, and other programs on your phone.
Your best bet for clearing ram is a reboot.
Simple, as for seeing programs running, hold home and hit taskmanager (plz keep in mind the above)
Or simply go to SETTINGS>applications>memory use and click running tab on top right.
Hope this helps. Peace

Im thinking it has to be an app gone wild. Ive never had a battery issue with TDJ's stuff. Overnight i get maybe 5% drop over 8 or 9 hours.

Ye there's no way it should b doin that..
10pm to 5:30am my battery drops 7-10%
@OP
2 possible solutions:
1.) Above post gut it pretty good
2.) Kernels not allowing deep sleep mode, flash a new kernel
#2 seems more plausible at this point considering your OP in full.
If its abnormal battery drain screen off ur phones not enabling deep sleep.
At this point most apps are effectively "paused" or slowed down
Making the battery drain almost irrelevant, my battery dies about 1% hourly screen off
Thanks to this mode.
Apps like SetCPU etc. Can also cause this if configured incorrectly
If using a CPU. Control app, uninstall it, trust the phone enough to do
Its own thing.
I will never recommend taskmanagers or CPU utilitys, if I did, what's the point in kernel deving besides OC?

[Q] huge battery drain

Hi all , my lt18i face a big drain while 3G on and it could take 20% over even more per hour...:crying:
and i wonder if there someone can help me with it,i'll attach some screenshot and the dump by betterbatterystats.

thanks in advance!!!

I use the rom aokp milestone m1-r1 with kernel 4.0 fusion and also notice this problem. if I use the 3g, the battery dies quickly. I am always on 2g with data off and only use when needed. wifi does not occur with this problem.

Another battery will not help.
Another kernel will not help.
Wiping battery stats does nothing, all stories about "improving battery life" are complete bull**** - it has nothing to do with battery!!
All ICS and ICS-Based ROMs, yes that also means all Jelly Bean ROMs,that are based on ICS, have that ICS bug, which causes battery drain after every charge. You need to restart your phone in order to fix it. Restart after charging and no more massive drain should occur.
If it does, it must be something in your personal settings.

Flash 72 baseband...Baseband 77 has battery drain issues...Also facebook eats some battery in standby...Change the refresh interval to 30 min and see...Also alarm app eats the battery. I know that. Dont set a daily alarm, instead set it just before gng to sleep.

I'm experiencing quite the same problem on my Arc (LT15i) although I don't think it occurs after every charge, and I'm not even sure it does only appear when I charged the phone.
I remarked that the radio is going a bit buggy (switching from Wi-Fi to 2G/3G or constantly reconnecting to the mobile network) and when this appears, I have to reboot the phone or the battery dies in 6 to 8 hours (when the problem don't occurs, it can go on for 36-48h).
Anyone has noticed the same thing or am I experiencing another battery drain problem ?

Not trying to hijack or anything, but as my problem relates to yours, I thought I'll write to this thread.
My LT18i battery drains around 10-20%/hour even when put to airplane mode and rebooting before. I just tested last night and charged the battery full, left the phone to airplane mode and at the morning after 7 hours there was 20% left!!! I even checked from betterbatterystats and the phone had been on deep sleep almost all the time.
Have had this problem for a while, but havent found any solution to it, if anyone can help, PLEASE do!
P.S running on stock GB

There is an app or something, that is using lots of battery. Check sync settings (some apps have it in app settings), turn off WiFi/3G/Bluetooth/GPS, make sure app is working.
And do not use taskkillers.
And if you can, post a screenshot of Battery Usage screen, with the list of apps consuming battery.

I flashed Stock ICS .587 on my arc last night and charged it 'till today in morning so i took my arc restarted it and 'till now worked just fine,my battery is almost dead but i used my phone today at max.I did some callings,played Asphalt 7,used wifi and internet,dolphin browser,installed some basic apps from market,done a cwm bacup,installed some cam mods cyber-shot,tested the camera.but hey even the battery is dieing now it's cool.I had fun with it for today,i hope this battery will last always ss today.
Apps kills the battery,so i deleted FB,i frezzed some apps that i don't use everyday,and i have my brightness on 50%.
I know i didn't help to much but i'm sharing my expirence.
And yeah sry for my english.

Pretty sure, theres no apps running and I have everything turned off, I even took the sim card off for testing purposes.
Betterbatterystats shows 98% deep sleep at my tes period of one night.
Now it gets even weirder...A friend of mine suggested that I try to turn the phone fully off (power totally off).
I charged the battery to 100% last night and pulled the battery, putted it back on and let the phone sit on the table untouched for the night. When I turned it on on the morning battery showed 4% left!!!
So theres a huge drain even when the phones power is turned fully off. I dont know does this indicate a broken battery (battery 2 months old) or something wrong with the hardware ???

Turn phone off. Charge to 100% when 2-5% left
After fullcharge, use ur phone. When it drops to 50% exactly shut it down. Remove battery for a minute. Reinsert battery and dont turn it on.
Charge it again to 100%
Done
This worked for me

By the way, is it normal that the phone warms up quite lot from the top back (about under camera) ?

I'v been using it for about a week. Continuously waking up the phone for sensing and checking apps and options was draining more battery than actual saving it. I wouldn't reccommend it at all.
Classic solutions like Greenify + Wakelock Detector work way better IMO.

I am yet unsure to how much does this improve the battery life, I've been using it for a month and giving it time to check. Although my device doesn't come out of deep sleep with it running, I kinda feel the battery drains a bit faster. Can't say that for sure but thats what I am feeling.
I will keep it up-to-date with you. Just did a full charge on airplane mode and I will be monitoring everything.

I'm telling you guys from my experience i have seen better battery, also MAKE SURE you go through the settings because there are settings such as WIFI Management (Automatically enables and disables WIFI during your day) which i dont need/use.
Also enable your Inactivity Power Boost option via your settings.

Even I got massive battery drain. I wasn't using my phone at all. And in half an hour it reduced from 91-86 percent. Data/Wifi/Sync and everything off. Wake lock detector shows Battery guru woke the CPU most number of times.
I've tried this earlier and uninstalled it. I'm giving it another try. Its in learning process now. Let me see how it goes after two days.

So when you change your habits it will drain battery again; why bother?

Help Me Figure Out Whats Making My Phone Die Over Night!

so recently my lg g3 been dieing over night left at 100% before i go to bed i usually wake up and its at 80-90%
this week my phone died 3 times over night. its really aggravating.
this time when i woke up it was at 5%!!
i thought it was led manager because on the wake lock it showed over 1000 wake locks
so i thought to remove and install a different one still same wakelocks.
this has never happened before when i used led manager.
heres some pictures from gsam and wakelock

What's with applock? On the last image right below led blinker. It was turned on even more than led blinker. Like 32000 times.

What SD card do you have and have you removed it to see if it is the cause. Have you recently installed a new app. Under settings, battery, usage what is using power. Under setting, apps, running what is running in the background.

shouldnt be doing this tho i never had this issue before. so i dont get why it would start doing it now..

Back to app locker. Is the vault on board or cloud based? Is it possible it's trying to sync and can't make a connection to the server so it keeps trying.

I think if the battery was bad it would have less internal resistance and charge to full super fast too. Maybe try and swap a battery with a friend if you can or reinstall the stock software and keep your downloaded apps to a min. Maybe install a few at a time and see what you get.

Something just happend. I left my phone to charge and it wasnt charging! The charging indicator was there. I just restarted my phone and it stil lwasnt charging but it says it was charging but the battery stayed the same over an hour.. So i took out the battery and put it back in now its charging correctly
