[Q] Severe Battery drain.. :( :(

Hi Guys,
I have a very weird issue with my play.
It is having a very horrible battery life, the battery drain is so fast i cant even use it for 4-6 hrs also.
This issue got started after I flashed XPACman-zeus-v3 ROM.
Earlier i was having ICS rom and it was working nice but now after flashing PACMAN JB rom this got started.
After this issue i tried ICS rom again and also GB roms but same issue going on.
Please help me out with this.
Thanks.

Try Battery Calibrator from the play store.

does battery calibration worked? did u fix your problem?? i will try it

I have the same problem, calibrated with Battery Calibrator but no hope, so I bought a new battery and everything works well again. The tech guy told me that a phone battery is in good condition for only 1 year plus / 1000+/- charge cycle, after that you'll face battery drain and lots of battery issues like shut down even it has 20% battery (my case). Calibrate it, if problem still exist, buy a new battery, it isn't expensive anyway

i was facing the same problem..i fixed it with reset to factory data setting. i don't sure if this will works on your device but it works fine on my Play.

[Q] battery problem - drains then jumps to over 50pct when plugged in

As per title. Battery will drain .... Quickly !!! Then when I plug in to charge it instantly changes to over 50% charged. It will then charge to 100 (which I guess is actually less than 50% in reality).
I have tried various ROMs. I believe the battery is empty, just don't understand the instant reading of over 50% ??

I would assume the battery is done for. But I would try to drain battery boot into recovery And wipe battery stats. I've heard wiping the stats doesn't ddo anything useful..but its worth a shot.

Thanks. I was going to try resetting the stats but so many people say that does nothing .,... Have tried flashing 4.3 and will see if that kick starts the battery again.

Let us know how it goes, I've noticed my stock battery lasts about the same amount of time as my extended because I've used my extended the whole time I've had this phone. Good luck: 4.3 is slick

A full wipe and flash to 4.3 has managed to clear it.... Next dilemma though I've been offered a 4 month early upgrade to an s4 ..... With the x phone disappointing (IMHO) I'm not sure what else is worth waiting for

[Q] CM 10.1.2 Terrible Battery Life?

Hello,
I have had Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 for awhile now and i have only had one issue. My battery life has gone down dramatically compared to the stock touchwiz rom. I usually take my phone to school on standby and airplane mode and i loose about 20% in 3 hours. If I use the stock rom I loose about 4-7% in 3 hours. I looked in the battery settings and it said Screen, Google Play Services, and Cell standby took up the most. I'm thinking it's the kernel but I do not want to take the chance of flashing a new one. If there is any other solution please let me know.

you might need to re calibrate your battery.
also, check if you have any wake locks using better battery stats.

Here's a recent thread where they are working on similar issues. Won't be exact to your situation but may help you to track it down on your own.

Also, in the stickies, I suggest you read Woody's battery thread for a better understanding of some common issues and power saving tricks.

If you are putting the phone in Airplane mode, make sure the Location Services are off.

using themes and live wallpaper also is bad for battery. really bad!

i installed CM10.2 on my old Samsung Captivate and gave to my mom to use. Turned everything off and I'm getting excellent battery life. She gets 4-5 hours of talk time and still has 70+% at the end of the day.

Abnormal battery drain

After installing lollipop OTA, I experienced battery drain, so I did a factory reset and the battery was better than ever. Now recently, for the past 3 days, the battery is awful. Doesn't even keep a charge for like 5 hours. Look at the screenshot. I am fed up of always doing factory resets, and I barely have any apps installed. This isn't normal. I have an SD card, I tried removing it for a day and I still experienced the same battery drain.

Gsam / WLD / BBS?

Providing us your version will also help, you might be using a version that had a battery bug in it

I find battery life unstable too on all Lollipop versions from D to H. Test versions had much better battery life.
I also tried greenifying apps that wake my phone often, but still I see percentage drop even when I don't use the phone. I barely use phone thourghout the day (30mins-1hour on screen time in the end of the day) and I am left with 70% before going to sleep.

Try doing a CSE flash via FlashTool versus doing a factory reset. See if that helps.

Samsung galaxy S4 mini battery drain!

Hi everybody...I have this phone and I have a problem.When I charge the phone up to 100% battery and then take it from the charger,battery drops to 99 or less without phone usage...And when I go to sleep and then wake up,the phone lost about 10-15 percent...Can somebody plesase help me?

Check what's keeping your phone awake during idle, "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Though you need root for these. You've nor given us any details of what your phone is and what ROM?? Try searching for threads on how to calibrate your phone battery.

Ohh sorry...My phone is S4 mini GT-I9195 LTE....I have stock android 4.4.2 kitkat...I have already calibrated battery and bought new battery...But same problem...

Will be an app causing your phone to wake

I dont know...i searched on the web and someone said that stock kernel have some problems

Not always the case... Depends when and where your phone was made. Could be a faulty kernel or motherboard but it also could be an app or a setting on your phone or an unclean install. Have you always suffered this issue?

I got phone about 3 weeks ago...and the battery was very bad so i bought new one.I also tried CM 12.1 but the phone is heating in unnormal way but the battery there is better...

You have problems with motherboard. Go to service center to replace it on waranty.
Powered by CM12.1

But my phone isnt on waranty...i got it used haha....ahh nvm,i will live with that problem.thanks for help!

Bad luck then. Normal consumption for our device is 0.2 - 0.3 % per hour in stand by.
Powered by CM12.1

How long does yours battery last with some normal usage?

Almost 3 days with moderate usage.

Woww thats a very big difference haha.

Your best bet seeing as unless you pay for a new motherboard is to try one of the battery drain fix kernels on here. Though I think you may be limited to certain compatible ROMs.

Why are you not staying on cm 12.1? For me it's amazing, i observed at least 100% more battery efficiency than stock (4.2.2). I also observed the same problem with high temp too. But i think we can't have it all. When i play games and the outside temperature is about 35 celsius, i do not expect anything less, because this mobile is not designed for this android version. I think that's reasonable and i finally can use my mobile with a joyful way without having my mind always on the battery stats!

Thanks guys! And i will try CM 12.1 for longer time to see if anything will be better!
