I was always unsatisfied with my battery life, but now it's gone too far!
1. No matter how long I charge it, at the very second I unplug it it goes down to 99%.
2. It doesn't even go down correctly, one moment it's 65% and the other it's 58%. Always.
3. It drains soooooo fast even though I do nothing with it!!!!
Here are some pictures
1. This is 17 minutes after unplugging it, all I did was to put music on [earphones] and check if my girlfriend was online on Whatsapp.

2. That's after a minute and a half, 2% less, doing nothing but listening to music with my screen off!
3. One minute later..
4. Sixteen minutes later, phone is idle and untouched [not even music, I started my shift]
5. Again, idle.
It lasts 3 hours tops!!!! What the hell do I do.

This app already told you the culprit! Your getting wakelocks so an app you installed is keeping the device awake all the time. The rest is for you to figure out partner . Use the search function on XDA and you will find all the info you need.

Ok might be but to the level where the phone doesn't last 3 hours? That's not cool. It should be lasting more even with heavy using.

yeah you're right, it should last more anyway! maybe it's the rom.. what rom are you using? or maybe the battery failed. it happened to me with another phone, basically i was in the seaside with about 38°C the phone was boiling hot, the battery was fully charged but in about 20 mins it was at 5% without even using it then it died. since then that battery never worked again and i had to buy a new one. do you remember if you had a similar situation or if your phone overheated for any other reason (maybe while charging or near a heat source)?

Hey guys!
Today I charged my Defy like every day. I woke up in the morning and it had only 6% of battery left despite it was connected to the charger. I grabbed it to reconnect it to the charger and it was hot like hell and the touchscreen was unresponsible.
After pulling the battery i took a look at the Battery Monitor Widget logfile and it showed some crazy stand by drain of up to 350 mA/h and temperatures of 60°C.
I really don't know if I should charge it again now because i don't want that my phone takes damage due to a broken battery.
Any suggestions? Should i charge it again and check the temp?
Here is a screenshot of the Battery Widget logfile:

Wonder if this is widespread?... I called t mobile about my phone rebooting itself and dying so quick that they quickly ordered me a battery and said if the new one works I can send the old one back or even keep it... got an extra battery yet to try...
Does get hot... hottest mine registered was about 41c... 60c ish quite hot for a phone... even battery? lol...
Edit: sorry sloppy grammar, yet I edit saying so lol.
were you using the official charger? might be unrelated but I used to keep a cheap charger at work for my phone, worked well for all my old phones but with this one the screen becomes unresponsive when its plugged in. Ive tried two cheap ones now and they are both the same but with the official one or my old HTC one its fine

Hi! I have the same problem with you with high temperatures and sudden drain.. But this happens not all the time. So sometimes my phone will stay awake for 3-4 days without charging, or have a problem like yours and 3-4-5 hours after charging it's battery it's almost empty....
If you have found a solution and/or you can just tell me if it is hardware issue or software, I would be gratefull to you!
Thanks!
What Android-Version are u guys using? Any special ROM?

mine is 3.4.2-155 but I had the same problem with 2-3 older versions.. So I think its not about firmware...
Sure sure it's with light use, but just the fact that it can hit 6+ hours screen time after more than a day and a half... sits pretty well with me.
No games, 30% screen brightness, 74 mins of calls, quite a bit of texting & whatsapp, 30 odd mins browsing, wifi 100%, sync on, only 1 widget.
aokp, lean kernel, undervolted, K6, extended battery.
Loving this phone!!!

Not bad at all! Especially considering 74min of phone calls.
NICE!!! Can't wait till my extended battery comes in.
Nice. I've had my extended battery for 2 days now and I am seriously impresses ed with it. It on my drive home I'm at 65% instead of 30%. I really think the extended battery should of come stock.
I got a similar 6 hour in airplane mode. I was watching a movie while roaming on vacation.
Verizon stock rom. stock battery.
Even stock SGN makes wonders with battery on Wi-Fi But still your stats are truly amazing
OP did charge the phone for a bit....like 3 times don't know for how long....but nonetheless amazing stats...

No, he didn't? Look closer on first screenshot. There is no sign of charging on those lines below the graph. Those places where graph line goes up are pretty normal and that doesn't mean device war charging.

There's no charging there.
Line is going up for a little, but that's normal and it often happens in my phone too.

Nah I didn't charge it at all, as the other guys pointed out. I remember my battery dropping to 4%, I then put down my phone and when I came back later on, it was reading 5%. I thought I was going crazy, but looking at the graph now I see it really did happen. It raised from 4% to 5% and stayed there for a bit before dropping to 4% again.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't a one off... it's not doing as well today with the same usage. We'll see...

Actually, the phone calls don't do much damage... You should be able to talk 11hours on this phone apparently...
I am very jealous. I am lucky to get 3-3.5 of web surfing.
With standard battery, you can get almost 11 hours screen on time (by doing nothing):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366878&highlight=max+battery
So, that's the limit
My experience with extended battery, 2000 mAH, GSM, I could get 4 and a half screen on time with 61 hours stand by time. For sure, it can go down to 6 hours or more screen on time if I down the standby time. All with stock ROM, stok kernel, un-locked
It is not difficult to achieve that knowing the limit, all depends on how you set it up and how do you use your phone.
Am I in need a new battery? Which ever ROM I use this happens.
Need a little bit more information then that in order to help

Left the phone idle after I pulled the charger. Came back and it's already below 90% (87) I haven't used any apps,as you see only the usual stuff show up.

Researched a bit and heard cell standby could be the issue,are mine normal? Can't tell.
How long was it off the charger for? Also I would be more worried about wifi, if your actually using wifi then yeah leave it turned on but if you're letting the phone just sit there I would try turning it off but I don't user wifi so I'm not sure. You can also try turning the brightness settings down.other then that it looks normal to me.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
Brightness is always below 50%,I keep around 25%.
So 2 hours off the charger,wifi on and idle,87% is normal? Everytime I turn it on just to check the battery it drops 2%, I don't think that's normal.
Honestly that's probably normal if you were away for an hour or so or if you left wifi on. Battery life also depends on which kernel you're using as well.

I'm using DooMKernel v14
Installed Juice Defender, did some tests and just after I unplug, it took a while to go down to 99% took 10 minutes while watching YouTube on 3G but as it got down to 95 % the battery just drains quickly , went to 85% in 5 minutes while browsing the web

i noticed the same thing
i lost my old charger so i bought a new one and thats when i first started having this issue.
phone would seem to charge faster than before but died faster as well when using this charger. (this was my work charger). at home i use laptop to charge and takes longer but lasts longer.
also noticed phone got warmer when charging at work. so i returned that charger and got a different one and problem solved.
so if your using a different charger recently a new one may help
WiFi seems the culprit. Maybe Google how to set the wifi scanning interval

I'll try a different charger. The phone does get hot when plugged in.
Better Battery stats.
I'll bet one of your apps (a wifi app) isnt sleeping, and thats why you are losing the battery.
Time to replace a battery, or is something wrong here?

Using android is like changing a new phone every month!
Better check you apps behaviour and syncs with BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for deep sleep. No way a battery drains that fast normaly.
Interesting thing is, I just did a full wipe/factory restore, couldn't be an issue with my apps, could it? Gonna go log my battery in the mean while

Could it be due to this process "audioOut_2"?
Dont have vibes installed though, yet somehow this is preventing phone from sleeping.
Will try with second handset to see if this is an issue with rebooting phone on silent mode

how many screen time? have you put you phone in a hot zone? have yoy been playing while charging for a long time? i say it because it is known that some samsung batteries inflate themselves and decrease the battery life to like about 15 minutes so look if the battery is normal or a bit rounded (fat battery)
hope it helped,

Hot zone meaning? I haven't been abusing my phone, but when I play some games/surf the Web, the battery seems to die at almost twice the speed it did before.
If buying a new battery would solve this issue, then I would buy without hesitation! I'm just scared that the battery condition is not the main issue with this drain.
Currently doing a full drain/charge to recalibrate the battery

by hot zone I mean let the phone in the sun or somewhere when the temperature is high. I recommend you to check your battery physically, I mean open the back of the phone and see if the battery is in the same condition as when you received it. As I said before the main problem could be that your battery have been inflated if is this you must replace it not only because the bad performance but also because it is really dangerous(there are acids in there and if it explote..)
However it seems more like a continous draining try calibrating as you said with battery calibration or similars. If the battery starts to decrease its life (i mean today lasts 5h., tomorrow 3h.) it is almost sure what i said about the battery.
hope i helped you somehow

Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day
what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.
Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.
