Battery life just terrible, need since help plz!!

As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.

I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/

You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...

Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.

i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..

Agree with cygnet

Is there another non sense rom? I really like stock better...

Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.

update to the last radio

I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.

Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

(using Cyanogenmod 6)
When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)

You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use

Juice Defender

I'm installing this as a last resort before sending my phone back. After hard reset and everything, battery is still a major drain.
For those that are using it, how well does it work? Which settings are you using?
I've only the free version for now but would consider upgrading if it does help?
Also, how do you prevent meebo from disconnecting when the screen turns off? Is that an option on the free version?

About Juice Defender, for me it worked with ~1.6x batterylife.
About Meebo: get Trillian, they made it for free this week. You stay connected even if your phone is off(for max of 1 day, changeable in settings) and you'll receive al the messages which came while your online the enxt time you login again. You can manage all your accounts on the PC with the regular Trillian program and then login on your phone with your Trillian account and all the accounts will be there. It is a real nice app with very low battery consumption.

The free version is very limited. I use the ultimate version and I'm rather happy with it. I don't want to schedule traffic when my phone is idle, but that would be a massive battery saver.
Yes, you can set different settings for each app in the paid versions. You can set a trigger that makes sure your internet is always on when meego is running, even when your screen is off.
But overall, I have no problem to use my phone for more than 12 hours on battery with moderate usage. Maybe you should send your device back anyway.

I had terrible battery drain as well but ive managed to resolve this. have you tried:
1. Deleting all social hub accounts?
2. Deleting your mail account if you use the stock mail app?
3. Updated to latest official firmware?
I was experiencing 10% idle drain per hour. Now i'm at 1-2%. Battery life is a huge improvement compared to my old desire. Dont guve up on this phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

In my experience standard battery drain per hour should be
1~2% screen off / data off
3~5% screen off / data on
12~15% screen on / data off
18~20% screen on / data on
WiFi uses less battery than 3g but as you can see display is main problem...

1. I froze all Samsung-related apps and accounts with Titanium Pro
2. I'm using the Gmail stock app. Is that bad?
3. I updated to KE2 and hard reset twice
4. I also froze the wifi apps

Sounds like you need to clear your battery history, leave it over night, then check what's been using it overnight to me.
I have 5-10% drop at most overnight (7 hours or so).

thanks. how would i clear battery history? is that under setting -> applications -> running ?

Also try clearing data on the software update app. That appeared to work for some people. U definitely have a rogue app eating your battery... Can you give us a list of your running processes immediately after you restart?

So after using Juice defender ultimate for a couple weeks now, with the customizable apps configuration, I see no improvement in battery life.
I lost 50% charge overnight with just push email on (stock gmail app), only synching email and contacts.
For those with this app, what configurations are you using to improve the battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

I have it setup to turn the data, and wifi off while the screen is off.
Night mode is enabled, from 11:30, to 7:00am
I also have it only allow wifi via location, work or home.
It eats 1-2% while in standby per hour.
and about 3-4% overnight.

i tried juice defender ultimate and it made no difference. I deleted it just because its another app working in the background...

I found it to be very effective when set up correctly. Lose less than 1% an hour at idle.

Mine does that (1-2% per hour at idle) without Juicedefender and push email/facebook active. The problem with JD is also that when set to switch off Wifi and data in the background when the phone is idle, it doesn't always switch them back on after the phone awakens, resulting in many pain in the ass moments.
I bought it 6 months ago and never use it any more.

Pretty standard really wifi and mobile data enabled (ultimate version), autosync on ping, 15 minute scheduled check for 30s. I don't have it turn off data at night because the phone is usually plugged in and have data enabled when the screen is on. It also manages the wifi locations so usually it only connects to wifi.

Hmm I'd never heard of that app, but did a bit of research and it looks like it really does wake the connections well with the latest release... will give it a try!

I lost 4%/idle for 12 hours.

battery draining too fast new or old

im on a stock rom not rooted and new battery and old battery both discharge really fast. Totally dead in 5-6hrs light use. Im guessing there is a hardware issue with the phone as this isnt normal. Any ideas?
lets see I did a factory reset after Jellybean update
changed the battery for a new one
biggest power drain is showing up as screen 33-39%
I have the thing on power saving mode and mobile data I turn off when not in use.
only thing I can think of that I didnt try is flashing another radio. But I doubt thats it because ive put it in airplane mode and it still looses power fast.

Get Better Battery Stats and check your wake locks. A lot of information in that thread. Might have a rogue app draining you.
Edit: also screen on is always going to be your biggest drain. Keep brightness down as much as you can. App called screen filter is good for achieving lower brightness than system allows. You could try the ktoonsz kernel, undervolted as well. Turning off sounds in settings (key press, vibrate, etc as well). Toggle data and WiFi when not using. These are just some basic suggestions.

This is my second s3 and the first one never had a problem going 10-12 hrs normal use. Im thinking it is a hardware issue as I did a factory reset and it still persists on fast draining.
Edit.. I just disable google talk maybe that was causing it?

It's not Google Talk. Check your battery and it'll show you what's drainage ng it the most. Also check screen brightness

lol sd card?? well I tried it anyway and no, it still drains like a pissing racehorse. Ive noticed this phone gets pretty warm sometimes even with light use. Im not sure what is causing this but must be a factor in why the battery life is so poor. When I talk on phone, not very often, the ear piece actually gets hot. Im gonna send this puppy to samsung and see what they can do.

GSam Battery Monitor can offer better details about your battery usage, including wakelocks, cpu usage, etc.. It's more detailed than what Android offers.
I'd also recommend using an AOSP based rom as they include out any carrier/Samsung services that may adversely affect your battery life, particularly in a fringe coverage area or with many sync and push items. I'd also stay away from powersave mode for the time being.
If you want to know for sure, I'd do something like this:
- update PRL on current rom
- wipe and format everything in CWM
- flash rom as per developer suggestions
- wipe battery stats
- boot and do not sign in with your Google account (very important!)
- do not install or restore any apps
- turn off auto-sync and leave data on
- enable auto brightness
- confirm that phone signal is somewhere between -50 and -90dbm
- turn off phone and charge overnight
- turn on in the morning and use normally for the day
- install GSAM if issues persist
Please post back with updates.

It could be a hardware problem also you know.... if something ground off in the phone then the battery will drain faster than anything....I had a n96 with a grounded problem and it use to dead in 4 hrs....

13% is ODD. Something is sucking up your battery.
Expand your Android system and post the Screenshot - want to look at cpu wake time.
What is your setting under - Advanced Wifi options - while asleep - wifi on or off ?

To be honest I have done so many tweaks to help with wakelocks. It is definately not an app but the standby time is sooo much worse on my Note in comparision to my HTC One S. I'll get about a day regardless of screen time. On my One S I'll get 2 days with the same screen time and with the same apps.
The only thing I can think of it being is that mdm_hsic kernel wakelock. Have no clue what to do about that though, and it's clearly a Samsung/Note 2 bug given that the HTC doesn't have this sucking away the standby time.

Try uninstalling and see if this makes a difference. The ebay process/service constantly runs in background even tho its disabled in app settings and doesn't show battery usage.

The thing is, I also have the ebay app on my HTC and it doesn't suffer from this problem. The HTC is 4.1.1 though so I'm guessing this is either a Samsung problem or a 4.1.2 problem.

hi,just a few pointers to think about ....?
i am on stock 4.1.2 not rooted ,and my avarage battery drain overnight (10/11 hrs +) is 2%..or ..3 %.
i also have a note8.0 and battery drain is normally 1% in standby mode overnight (10/11 hrs )also on 4.1.2
lucky ? no i don't think so .
(maybe i got my all "tweaks " right..no ?)
just a few pointers (things to think about, why others get better results and others not,in this case on 4.1.2 )
good luck

Do you have any Battery manager apps installed? I had one that constantly pulled WiFi status and since I have WiFi disabled when outside of home or work it kept on turning it on/off and drained my battery. It was my error for configuring it wrongly, I admit but still, that may happen without control.
Check Wakelock Detector, click on this:
Awake.............................Statistics since..............................Deep sleep
bar after night of rest and post statistics that you find there, The most interesting is a difference between Screen-on and awake times. If your phone is awake much longer than it has it's screen on then there are some processes that keep it awake and drain battery.

Wifi does seem to be messed up on this phone. I find, on standby, it causes more drain than 3G does. Usually something like 10% - 15% overnight.
This is not right and something is seriously a miss with Samsung. My HTC running the exact same apps does not have this problem. You shouldn't have to turn wifi off as opposed to 3G to get better battery life.

Are you thinking about some hardware problem that causes wifi to use more memory than usual? Like higher voltage or something? Because that is not very probable. I think there is some app there that is using wifi, high power usage happens when wifi is performing scans is being turned on or actively transmiting data. Please use wakelog detector to find what app is causing kernel wakelocks and from there we can find a real culprit.
I does not have to be malicious but may be an incompatibility between hardware and some software, one that works well on HTC and not on this Samsung model.

No I don't think it's hardware.
I also don't think it is an app given what I have observed with wakelocks and deep sleep. I have made many adjustments to the phone and I'm clued up with wakelocks and the like and this doesn't seem to be a wakelock issue.
I have even assigned a static ip and made tweaks within my router but it hasn't helped. There seems to be a strange way this phone handles wifi and it is causing unnecessary drain.
In regards to Kernel wakelocks, it would appear something called mdm_hsic is causing lots of wakeups and more standby drain than it should be and this does not feature at all on my HTC. This is not related to wifi, but I'm pinning the general crappy standy drain im getting on this but there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of it.

mdm_hsic is related to Modem part, you may try different modems (be mindfull of efs problem in newer firmwares), also try to enable/disable "fast dormancy". I think you could test that by selecting "GSM only" and observing.

Thanks for the reply
I have tried different radios in the past. If that's what you mean?
I've also tested around with fast dormancy (it is currently disabled)
My network only works on 3G and has no 2G coverage. It is purely a 3G network and therefore GSM only will not work. This problem still persisted when I was on a different network though and selected gsm only fornthe majority of the time.

What method did you use for modifying fast dormancy setting? Because the correct one includes full factory reset when changing CSC. Anyway fast dormancy would be a problem only if you used 3G network for data.

Nope have not tried changing the CSC.
The method I used for fastdormancy was with that app in the marketplace than allows you to toggle it on and off. I'm not sure if fastdormancy is linked the mdm_hsic though, to be honest.

[Q] HELP cell standby huge battery drain[tried each n everything prb still persists]

hey guys...
i have tried everything to stop the battery drain
switched to many different roms
under-clocked processor to 768mhz
set a black wallpaper
brightness set to minimal
did battery calibration
switched of all background processes and made sure no location seeking programs works.
used CPU spy, the cell does go to deep sleep
tried juice defender and deep sleep battery saver
but nothing seemed to work
phone locked on full charge drains 40 to 50% in night without using.
then after a few days later i restored everything and opened airplane mode and I went to sleep, in the morning the battery didn't went low a single percent. battery health is good as works really well on airplane mode.
i have low signal issues but i get text msgs and calls with no problems at all, and my explorer and s3 seems to perform well
my all type pf connectivity is off example: location access WiFi Bluetooth etc only gsm is working, i manually selected the network and set it to gsm only rather them auto from *#*#4636#*#*.
what shall i do??
i searched and tried many things from the internet.
i really want those calls i cant always be on airplane mode, the problem is 200% of the antenna draining juice to get more signals. please help.
is there any way to stop the battery drain or restricting the antenna to consume less juice?
PS:using cm10.1 by nightly version:19 Aug 13.

anyone??
one thing more i installed better battery stats it says
no or unknown signal
no data connection
and it is running continuously like since i installed betterbatterystats.
where can i get this bug?? or disable this service??
please give a detailed explanation.

There are a few good apps to try I use
battery mix (I think this is one of the best) and wakelock detector both from my the market.

i am thinking about changing my radio... doing research n stuff... lets see what happens.
as it would solve the signal issue and battery all together.

bro if ics solves the problem of battery drain due to low signal then y not... i will surely try...
i dont get a single percent drain on airplane mode the problem is surely network sucking it down... yesterday it went 100% to 48% in 8 hours in deep sleep n no wakelocks[betterbatterystats] :crying:

Battery drain
I´m having same problems with my DHD, currently im using 4.2.2 Samsation (was it named like that but anyways 4.2.2). Without using phone it still drains 40% in few hours.. I got replacement battery from eBay and thought that would help but didnt help at all. I´ve tried different roms but would like to have newest roms without battery draining so much, so could someone share how to get it better?
And about changing radio, was there a possibility that you may brick ur device if installing wrong radio?
Thanks already!

and regarding the radio if u do it right and reasearch a little u wont brick it for sure. got my radio from here:http://www.icsforums.com/forum/showthread/26951
downloaded this zip and replaced the radio.img within the zip from above link.

put the file on sd card root
booted in bootloader
that did the job.

Have you tried looking at Better Battery Stats to see if it's an app draining your battery?

yup there was nothing, no wakelocks etc i even underclocked my processor to 768mhz... the thing is the signal reception cause when i turn the cell in airplane mode and leave it over night the battery doesnt goes down a single percent. it acts solid.
i get around 18 asu signals at my place i check it from *#*#4636#*#*
but the thing is i was using an HTC explorer before switching to desire hd and with the gsm mode(no airplane mode) the battry stayed solid like the desire hd one with airplane mode(didnt dropped a single percent) at the same house same place.
dont know what going on.
