So please what is the perfect combination to get good battery life and performance ?
I am rooted and unlocked bootloader.

You need to figure out what is draining your battery. Then perhaps figure out ways to limit that draining. Better Battery Stats can help you figure things out. Perhaps an app is checking in too often in the background, keeping your device awake.
If the battery wasn't new when you got the device, perhaps the battery has issues.

flash the cm-snap kernel, charge and then calibrate your battery
IIRC, that is normal for Cyanogen. It cuts normal battery usage so much that the display eats more than the rest of the phone together. Hence, the biggest battery moocher becomes the screen, not because it eats more power, but because its competition eats much much less.

no cm does not have the snap kernel. to calibrate the battery you charge it to 100% and then wipe your battery stats from recovery. this should take care of most peoples battery issues.
but i dont see your problem. almost 13hr unplugged is very good for this particular phone.

High android system usage at 20%.

I usually get android system usage at 1%, hence im freaking out. Help please! Could it be because i use vipernod, v6 supercharged and savagezen kernel?

I would say it could be any number of things, however the question is, what have you changed recently? Any updates, new apps?
Also, with this increase have you seen any decrease in your battery usage? I will have 70+% android usage sometimes but battery doesn't drain any faster. This is a normal thing for AOSP especially. Someone noted that they had high A.S. usage on a stock Nexus 4g.
This may just go away with a days usage, but be sure to check for partial wakelock. This option is in Spare Parts app not sure if its built in to MIUI. The wake lock is what kills your phone, when an app goes bonkers and keeps your phone awake.

True. Miui has updates every Friday. So yeah, i updates last Friday. I switched from tiamat to savagezen just so i can fix the high usage but to no avail. I can't check battery partial lock because miui has battery stats issues right now.

In addition to what imheroldman stated, charging your device will oftentimes cause your android system usage to spike, but 20% is nothing to be concerned with.

Weird battery activity

So I charge my phone all night, take it off the charger to go to work at 6am by 3pm my battery is at about 8 percent. Here is where it gets funny, if I turn the phone off then back on I have about 59%. How does that happen

Sorcery. That's how.
I'm guessing the reason your battery gets drained so quickly is because of the poor network coverage.
Could you also provide a screenshot of the apps/programs/hardware that have drained your battery? By that I mean the screen you see after hitting battery under settings.
The fact that it goes up so much after a reboot is very weird indeed. It usually happens the other way around with mine, the battery level drops about 15% for me after a reboot, which I also find weird.
I have had the same expierence with my phone as well. Dont understand it either.
I suggest you use a battery calibration app or s-off/root and install Clockwork Mod recovery to clear your battery stats and run a few cycles. Your phone doesn't know where full is and can't detect it as well as we'd like.

I think you need a battery calibration. Before i calibrated mine would drop 10-15% sometimes but now it is good. I would also add expect a small margin of error if you were using your phone heavily and it is warm/hot and you reboot. Some people report, myself included, that you might see a slight spike after your phone cools down.

[Q] Battery Calibration Question for Classic v0.0.9

Sorry, I can't post in the ROM thread yet. Just wondering if I need to calibrate the battery every time I pull the battery. I ask because I use a wall charger for my batteries.
I have three that I rotate so I always have a fresh one with me. I feel a lot better letting the wall charger do the work so its one less thing the EVO has to do. No wear and tear on the port too.
If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Che
No, you just need to calibrate the battery each time you flash the rom; pulling the battery is fine.
Thanks. Wasn't sure if it needed to be done for each battery every time since they are different ages and have limited lifespans.
I've been doing it every time and have been getting amazing battery life. Could be the new ROM too.

I use to calibrate the battery as well until I read heard about by wiping it doesn't do anything... Correct me if I'm wrong.. just throwing that out there..
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
To be honest, I'm not 100% on what exactly happens during battery calibration.
I thought it was something done to the phone; how it saw the limits of the battery; and not something done to the battery it self.
Any one who knows a little more about it feel free to correct me.

Question Google Photos consumes a lot of battery

I have recently purchased the GT Master Edition and I am doing very well. I noticed that Google Photos consumes a lot of battery, about 5%. I tried to check in the settings but the automatic start cannot be disabled, does anyone have the same problem as me or know how to fix it?

HELLO !!!!!!
I too have the same battery drain problem.
Download this app and see the "real capacity" of your battery !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery&hl=fr
My phone is new and I realized that I was at 45% of its real capacity !
And my phone is 100% charged
Maybe a problem with the C.06 update
The Realme has 2 batteries, so I couldn't tell you !
I think yours is a software problem. My problem is not that the battery does not last long, it is that Google photo consumes too much battery, it had even consumed 15% on 100% recharging. I solved by uninstalling it, but I would like to have it because I used it to look at photos instead of the stock app ...
@Pippo_02
If you solved the problem, great !
Otherwise, if one day you have a similar problem, in the application you have an awesome tool that shows you the discharge speed for each application, in percentage and in mA !

In the realmeUI these features are already present, without the need for third-party apps
