Stock Battery getting drained every 10hours

Hi All,
Recently there was a problem with the sliding stripe of my xperia play. So i got it fixed from a local store.
After this i observed that my battery is getting drained out very fast. maximum i will get is 10hours.
I even tried flashing through WotanClient, but even with limited applications battery performance is same.
Most battery is consumed by Cell Standby and PhoneIdle.
Battery Stats:
Day1:
Total Duration : 8h 42m
Android System : 40%
Cell Standby : 31%
Phone Idle : 30%
Day2:
Total Duration: 7h 9m
Cell Standby : 31%
Phone Idle : 31%
Temple Run : 20%
WR Pay-Per-View : 20%
Day3:
Total Duration: 7h 58m
Android System : 40%
Cell Standby : 31%
Phone Idle : 30%
I am having android 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)
Please help...
Thanks and Regards,
Harsha

I would be happiest person if my battery can resist the usage of 8 hours.
Stats i posted above were without any usage. I charged my battery 100% before i go for sleep. And morning when i wake up battery would have drained. All 3 days stats i posted above are just over night stat without any usage.

What? My play battery lasts over a day and a half for the least. Thats not right.

this probably isn't something that's very helpful, but i bought a mugen power battery because i wasn't satisfied with how long the stock battery lasted, and now it lasts like 5 days. something to consider.

Which one you took? Mugen 1800mAH or 3600mAh?
But before taking new battery i want to know why my Cell Standby and Phone idle draining my battery? Even without any usage.

Hey dear.
IT sounds to me that your stock battery was replaced by a FAKE. do you think it possible?

I don't think so. Because i have purchased this battery 2 weeks back from SE service center.

My stock battery doesn't last very long as well. If I keep the display on all the tine with WiFi it'll only last about 2 and a half hours

You can try downloading BetterBatteryStats from the market and see whats REALLY draining your battery. If its the display , you can only reduce the brightness to the minimum and turn off auto brightness. If its Wifi , you can lower the scan time (iirc some options from Supercharger and Autokiller can do this for you) . That mostly helps if you dont have an active Wi-Fi connection .
However i think TC has a faulty battery...theres really only one way to fix that...
BBS can tell you what part of the android system is draining your battery , but i dont that will help much

I can generally keep my phone on standby for about a day and a half, with it not being used of course.
If you're sure you don't have a rouge application eating your resources, causing your battery to drain faster than it should, then you were supplied with a faulty battery pack. Margin of error is inevitable with mass produced products. In this case, you should buy a replacement battery pack off ebay or amazon, preferably with it listed as being the official/genuine product.

My stock battery was giving up after a year so i bought the mugen 1800 and with very little use i can prolly get it to 4-5 days before recharge but on average in lasts 2 days.....with very heavy usage like gaming for 5h and surfing the net for 2 its down to 35% at the end of the day so...........

Might also be any new apps you've installed recently. This happens to me all the time, so I go back and check what apps I've installed recently and remove them and that solves the problem. Or it might be a new rom?

Battery Problem

Usually i using cm10a4. The battery life is really good.
8hours deep sleep just eat 5-15% of batt.
But now... cm9 and cm10... All the same. MY battery won't hold for long time
8hours deep sleep eat a lot of my battery!
it make me have to recharge everyday...
I found some People got this prob too. They said it's Kernel problem...
Does it true?
I have tried Battery CAlb. but still the same.
The battery app say my batt can hold for 1day 16hours 34min.
but suddenly change to 5 hours 23min.
please help ...

cm10.1 most likely same as cm10 regarding battery life.
try using betterbatterystats maybe there is some culprit. and also check your network signal. bad signal also affect on power consumsion. unstable signal cause cpu to work more.

using better battery stats (bbs) is great for killing some of the wakelocks in your phones (since not all wakelocks are directly identifiable, at least remove those most problematic is good enough). However, take it from me that bbs itself is causing serious drains to your battery. After spending 2 days with bbs, successfully eliminating most of the problematic wakelock, i used titanium backup pro to freeze bbs and my battery life improved tremendously! (from 4% drop an hour which is a little high, to 1% per hour). I am using Queen Anne's Revenge v2.3 rom with hurtsky cm9 kernel v2.1 (the latest 2.2 seems buggy), underclocked to 1MHz (shouldn't matter when it comes to just idling) and undervolted to extreme-UV values provided by CastagnaIT kernel here (credits to pepoluan for providing the link to the UV table)

note that it's not for increase your battery but for showing the actual battery status...

Battery drain is a general problem of new kernels I think...

Check if its bloated. If you can't see it well, take out your battery, put it on a table and spin it. If it spins for more than 15 seconds, then it is bloated. You will want to change it. And yes, we will require a screenshot of your battery usage

Don't take that as being 100% correct.
I have had batteries reported as healthy when in fact they were starting to show the smallest amount of bloating and starting to fail, which caused fast discharge and other problems like rebooting when forcing the camera flash, sudden drops in battery charge level etc etc...

It´s all your battery programms draining your battery. Yes they are draining battery too and if you need so much programms, don´t wounder your battery is drained so fast.
So rather than using all that battery apps better check what else is draining your battery.

sorry for late reply, but thanks for all of your suggestions..
gonna post the battery usage sooner when i got 10 post

Hey guys, so it's turned out that my battery is leaking, now i have replaced it with a new one, but it's still draining so fast. So what do i do ?

There might be an app draining your battery. I use better battery stats to find which app is keeping my device from deep sleep. (Its paid app but I found it on the internet. Can't share links obviously)
For me today isn't a good example as I changed kernels etc but this is what u should have a look at too in settings. If your device is awake the whole day some app is preventing it from sleeping. I got 5.5 hr sot b4 I charged and that was with alot of snapchat
So overall my deep sleep was ok but apps like spoifty kept it awake.
Also the one in better battery stats is only the last 20℅ of my battery life. Didn't get a chance to do my sleep lol I was using it alot today.

Terrible Battery Life

I don't know with the others, but there seems to be mysterious battery drain on my A70. It's night and day, compared to my old ZE553KL with only 500mAH difference in battery.
Is there any tips to get even more battery life from this thing?

Hello,
I have the same problem, battery goes down so fast, very disappointed with battery life.

My battery life is great (6h SoT at least), I usually end the day with more than 50% battery left. Maybe you have some apps draining the battery in the background or the update messed it up so it might be worth doing the reset to factory settings.

Check - background scanning wifi and gps if is ON it drain battery a lot , also if not need change gps accuracy to coarse . Battery draining apps samsung software report itself after 2-3 days .

Hello thank you.
Where I can found this settings please?

I actually have very good battery life,i would suggest you to install greenify app and add all the apps in the hibernation list and create a shortcut key on the home screen,one click and all those battery sucking apps will hibernate.

+1 I can easily get 2 dats use between charges (UK H3G branded Firmware).

I also have a terrible battery life for two weeks, before 100% to 90% I did more than 1 hour of screen and now does not reach 40 minutes, attached screenshot

I've never had that application installed

I'm getting excellent battery life.. I'm only using 4g network...

I can't say why but I found out that disabling bixby (voice thingy) makes a huge difference on my A70 with battery.

to those, who use 3rd party battery apps:
I think you should stop using 3rd party battery apps (battery monitoring, saving apps) they consume a lot, too, and do the same as the built in battery app. I experienced when I installed one of these "useful" apps, and it consumed the most battery, so these are fake. Simply uninstall or disable really not used apps. You will see difference in my opinion
