Battery Drain after OTA Froyo

I have no idea how to solve it. I have charged my Desire to 100% and after 3 hours I have only 20% left. I have not been using it much. Before upgrade it took about 24h to be only 20% left... Moreover the phone is hot when I touch it. How to solve it...?

I'm having the same issue!
It seems that the phone does not go to sleep (up time same as awake time)
Any help is appreciated as my phone dies within hours

Mine has done the exact same thing... With in approx 3 hours it had gone from 100% down to 50%, in the same normal usage in 2.1, it would of been lucky to drop 15% if that!!!

Mine dropped from 45% when i went to sleep, to 0 this morning!!

I cannot reproduce this, my battery life is a little better than with Eclair. However, I'd recommend downloading Android System Info from market. In the CPU Panel, you have the statistics of CPU clocking, it should give you heads up concerning a phone not going to sleep.
As for reference: my phone's CPU runs at 250 MHz 85% of the time, 1 GHz for like 10% and the rest is somewhere in between.
If you find anything, you should consider downloading Auto Task Manager as well and try killing anything unnecessary. It is not recommended to be using a Task Manager, but it might help in this case. Good luck!

Wich one?

Did you all restart after reboot? And did you flash the latest radio?
I flashed to froyo 7 hrs ago, played an hour with it to see the new features and went to bed and woke up still 80% of battery (after mentioned 7hrs, 6 of which my phone and i were sleeping )

Seems to be 245 mhz 50% of the time and 1ghz around 40% of the time, the problem is that I can see that my phone isn't going to sleep according to the battery info

The new radio is already flashed with froyo, isnt it?
And how do you flash a radio without rooting?

Have you tried a factory reset aka hard reset? It could also be some app that keeps the phone awake.

The one from ElectricSheep. The other one is probably not from Google, but from Googe. I'd also recommend looking at battery draining apps in the settings (certain bad live wallpapers can harm battery).
As said before, if you aren't using your phone all time and CPU clock at 250 MHz is less than 80% of the time, something is seriously wrong.

I have the same issue..
After froyo update, the battery lasts only a few hours not even using the phone much. If i put in flight mode the battery not discharge ..
I think it's a problem with radio and not of applications. I already tried hard reset..
Moreover, the phone become very hot..
I hope the htc resolve the problem. I'm in holiday
excuse me for my english

I think HTC did good work here, but I'm sad to hear other people are having issues. Anyhow, I don't think our impression of better battery life is purely due to real improvements, but also because they fixed the battery icon (like Apple did with the signal, but in the other direction...).
Prior to FroYo, my battery icon would look like "50%" when there would still be like 75% power, "90%" would look like 75% and so on. I noticed that when I tried several battery widgets. You know, it's all psychological

I had 55% yesterday night and at the morning i had 49%
idk if its bad or good

Found the problem!!! It was an LED widget stopping my phone from going to sleep, if you have it make sure to get rid of it ASAP!!!
Cheers guys!!

[Q] incredibly fast battery drain on xperia arc s.

Hi everyone. I've bought my new xperia arc s on Wednesday and unfortunately I'm very disappointed with the battery performance. It is worse than my 3 years old iPhone. I've read many advices in the internet concerning this issue, but none of them gave any improvement for me. I want to emphasize, that I switched off: wifi, auto-sync, GPS & wifi localization etc. My display is at 30% of brightness. The only functions which are turned on are: 3g network and background data.
However, my smartphone needs to be charged after around 10 hours of not very heavy using (web browsing, ca. 20 minutes playing games such as angry birds or cut the ropę and 20 minutes of listening music player.
Today's performance was just tragic: 5 hours of working (less than 3.5 hours of the turned on screen; only 3g connection on). What should I do to improve these results or maybe the battery is broken and I should send the phone to the warranty service?
Thanks for help

Of course I'll wait, cause I don't want to miss my phone, which looks and works amazingly great. But do you have any tips which would help me to increase battery performance? All I need is 3g or wifi constantly turned on for google talk and facebook messenger.

Are you kidding me? It cannot be that bad.
My phone isn't arc s it's only arc but my battery lasts over 24 hours.
I run wifi and 3g always, usually there's over 1h of calls some web surfing and stuff. With this kinda usage it normallly last something like 36h. If i don't use phone it's over 48h.
You should check what has been using the battery.

I don't know how it's possible. I have only 3g data transfer turned on, while everything else is turned off. I checked in settings and it is screen which consumes 60%-70% of energy in my case. Is it normal? Moreover, could you tell me what is your maximum time of the screen turned on achieved without loading the battery?

Ill give u few suggestions
Turn the screen brightness to 30 40 % this will give you 4 5 hours more of stand by
Turn off 3g(data internet) it eats as much battery as the screen,use when u need it 4 6h more on stand by
GPS turn it off lol u dont need it to be turned on all the time,use it just when u need it
Im using this setup for 2 months not and its awesome im on 54% battery and the phone is charged before 21h.. i will have 30 + for sure

Hi, just some suggestions.
1. Do you use latitude?? That puts a huge dent in your battery.
2. Do you travel around during the day?? I find that my battery drops a lot quicker when the phone is forced to switch between towers a lot.
3. Try and check the date of manufacture on your battery, It may be old.
4. Did you properly condition your battery when you first got the phone (Takes about a week to do it right but well worth it in the long run)
5. See if you can borrow some one else's battery for a couple of days and see if it makes a difference?? (Isolation testing its called)
Or you could just have a bad battery, that happens.

I'm not sure how much my screen uses battery. I haven't evaluated screen always on usage.
I'm running currently at 46% 23h 3m 54s
voice calls 38% (1h 5m 20s)
wifi 19% (23h 3m 54s)
cell standby 14% (23h 3m 54s)
phone idle 12% (21h 45m 47s)
display 11% (47m 32s)
after these come other less significant stuff like Android OS, Android System, Web browser etc.
In my use are: DoomKernel v20 undervolted -75mv and Juice Defender.
I have also removed many softwares that are useless for me like support.apk etc.

It must be bad battery. If no apps are draining your batt.

read this thread get the betterbattery stats and check it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433309
it will identify it down to a specific app or a module in the kernel, where the drain is coming from.

Man, this is a problem that occours in every android phone, even those ones which have a more powerful battery.
I use an Arc S overclocked (but not too much) and the battery lifes varies a lot, depending on which kernel and which rom I use. The best battery life i've find so far was DoomKernel ICS v4 with Arconium ICS v5. But it was a little bit laggy and now I'm using KA13 with the same kernel. The battery life is not bad, but not really good.
Sony knows this issue and I'm sure they're working in order to fix this on the official release of ICS. Just wait

Sounds like something is eating up your battery. Try downloading BetterBatteryStats app. Fully charge the phone, unplug it and leave it for a while (about 1 hour). Then open the app to see what exactly is eating up your battery. You could post the BBS screenshots so we could help. Hope it works out for you.
EDIT: Besides that, you should post more info. Were you using the phone (playing games, browsing, videos) during those 3 hours or it was idle?

I noticed the same thing happening to me once, it turned out to be picasa trying to sync, using my google ID, but I don't use picasa. I was seeing 50-60% drain in four hours while idle. Check your sync settings.
When it happened it showed android system was using over 60%, battery.

I was having this issue. I could charge my phone to 100% unplug and go to sleep and 8 hours later it would be at like 10% i tried everything i mean everything even tried airplane mode it still drained. Put a custom jelly bean rom on it. Now my battery lasts all day. I just cant wait for

For me battery has been great but a few times i noticed its gets very hot and when i checked the CPU both cores were lit up at max speed draining my battery, after some googling a found this thread which explains the gsiff daemon is the culprit after a hot reboot.
No one has found what the gsiff daemon is for or what causes the ho reboot, but the solution is just use root explorer and rename the daemon so it does not run.

Have all of you having trouble with battery drain still tried looking at the term "deep sleep"? You can check that with an app called cpu spy. If your having that issue with the phone not deep sleeping, report back and i will post some ideas.
With those who do say they have deep sleep issues, post the ROM, and kernel you are on.

so lately i noticed my battery dieing super fast. the only thing i can think of it since att expanded lte in my area i basically get lte everywhere now and since then my cell standby is at 60% or higher my phone lasts about 6 to 8 hours now its very annoying... before lte it lasted a ton longer it could be a coincidence but its very frustrating if this is the cause because its pretty ridiculous

Post some screenshots of the battery so we can see more of what's going on.

If you flashed multiple ROMs on low battery then you may need to recalibrate. I did it with my GS3 and I wish I would have known about it when I had the S and S2. Download the BatteryCalibration app from the market and follow the instructions on it. I noticed I was losing battery life bad, but after this I got it back up to stock levels which is amazing.

I have faced the similar issue as your. After 3 days of constant inspection with various apps I figured out the process causing this problem.
Go to developer options and click on show cpu usage. If the top process is "gsiff daemon" then you have found the culprit. Download system tuner and kill the process and you can see that the cpu usage will go back to normal and your phone will deep sleep afterwards. :angel:

Battery Drain

Is there an app or way that conserves the battery power. The phone is still completely stock but it received a firmware update through Tmobile and ever since then the battery gets drained by 4 pm (after all apps are x-ed out and phone is just in standby) the batter drops to around 30 percent... what can I do? I don't think it needs a new battery since its only a few months old... suggestions?

I dont know how much you use your phone and weather or not you watch movies or download files with Wi-Fi alot but it could seriously drain your battery if you leave things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Brightness Up, or use live wallpapers.
If not, I would recommend checking your battery against someone elses because I've had a phone before that had a bad battery that could explode and caused me to have battery issues. Make sure your battery isnt swollen at all and if it is make sure you take it out and dont put it back in and go to a Battery+ store nearby and I'm sure they got one for your phone (they come with warranty).

Well my wife and I have the same phone and it does it to both. I don't have signal in my job since they have a Verizon antenna and it blocks our t mobile signal so I don't use it during the day which means the phone is just on stand by for the first eight hours. I make sure I turn off wifi, blue tooth, GPS etc and close all apps....but by the time I get out of work it's at 30-40% power.... both phones were bought this April so was hoping it wasn't/isn't a hardware issue and have to replace the batteries....

This is where the world of rooting and tweaking your android becomes extremely attractive.
There are ROMs that last 1 day + ( that's 24h+ hours of battery)
Only need two things....
1. Patience - to sit, read and closely follow instructions
2. Guts - to take a dive and risk ruining your phone. (Which doesn't happen if you have number 1)

1. juice defender is a start.
The rest all needs rooting really.
2. Build.prop tweaks
3. UV with a custom kernel
4. Lowest screen brightness (doesn't require root)
5. Restrict yourself to 2G networks either using AOKP settings or a build.prop tweak
There are others but this is how I achieve great battery times mostly.

Why not try and find out what is using your battery up first? Try GSAM from the play store, its free for one, easy to use, it will show you what is draining your battery, there are a few paid ones as well, but try the free first , HERE is the direct link to GSAM.
or QR code, just scan it with phone.

That is a very weird situation and try a app that shows the apps using battery. Even check the stock android battery section in settings and see whats getting used. Your brightness should be first since it can really eat your battery if its turned up. I dont think its defective since both your phones are having the same problem but both my parents have the 4.0.4 firmware installed on their T989's without a problem and get decent battery power. I however am using a custom rom with kernel. Did you use the same battery for each phone? or each phone has the same problem with their own devices and their own batteries when getting updated to 4.0.4? If you used your battery on her's I'm assuming the problem may be the battery and you just got unlucky with a defective one.
P.S. I'm assuming 4.0.4 because thats the latest update to ICS for the T989 on T-Mobile.

The battery manager that comes with the phone identifies the display, but I've set it to lowest setting and have a dark background. And yeah both phones have their respective batteries which makes me think it's a software issue.. We just upgraded to the 2.3.6 ( I guess t-mobile is a but behind lol). But I going to try the juice defender tomorrow... It's just while I root the phone and get a custom ROM... (doing my homework before doing anything since it'll be first time)

Those apps wont really help, it basically does what you can do manually, turning off settings or putting them at low usage. Rooting is the way to go, its rather simple, once you do it, you will have wished you done it sooner. Trust me, I was in the same boat, I had just got my phone last december, the wife and I were in Vegas and my battery was horrible, I was taking lots of pictures and video, but my battery was dying. I had no way to charge it til we got back to the hotel, next day was same thing, horrible battery, this was all before ICS even was around for this device. When I got back home, I rooted my phone, to date, I have gotten a best 44 hours out of the phone. I ROM hop so I try out the variety, there is how to's and videos here and youtube, you will kick youself on how easy it truly is to root and flash. GSAM will show you in more detail what is using your battery the most, good luck with whatever you choose to do. There are many people here who can help you along the way, thats what this site is for.

Juice Defender will help a ton with you're screen being off for extended periods of time. Normally without it, I lose 30% at work without touching it. Today, I have lost 6%. The margin won't always be like that but it's a sizeable difference. Also, I have an app monitor application you can use to track rogue apps. There is also this app called Autostarts where you can disable an app from opening and it's really useful for apps that you don't need running in the background. Turning off auto sync will help as well IF you are okay with not getting every email in 5 minutes.

HTC one x battery life

Hi I've just recently decided to swap my xperia ray for a second hand HTC one x and unfortunately the battery life is horrid, under 4 hours and the battery is below half. 3g is on 24/7 and I didn't browse the internet for even a second , only text and call and I can't believe it, seriously considering taking this back unless somebody can convince me otherwise. All I use is the internet and calls and texts, and if it can't even handle those , then how am I going to be able to use the internet ..

are u using a custom rom ...? if not then say which base it is...3.14 oder 2.17 ...

You might try searching the forum, there are LOTs of battery related threads.
Install BetterBatteryStats (search here for it and how to use it), and check wakelocks and partial wakelocks, should tell you what is preventing the phone from entering deep sleep.

i like the battery life of my phone very much but also think, when you are using a custom rom, the rom and the kernel need to settle and i think, this take a time.. try one and give it 1-2 days, until you see the real battery draining

Came from Xperia arc myself, but wasn't expecting tremendous battery life, tbh. That said, there's virtually no drain in screen off on any stock based rom, so it evens out. Haven't tried aokp, cm10 or miui due to the pretty horrific battery life on the arc with them.

mine hox have nearly 1 year, but no better or worse battery performance. max 1 day :crying:

the battery life of the htc one x is an enigma to me (no other word can do justice to how much confusion it's causing)....I understand everyone uses their phone differently but the battery life shouldn't be all over the place as it is. My battery is lasting between 24 and 48 hours regularly with normal use i.e. normal everyday use on my one x, calls texts, camera, finding a place on maps while lost etc etc
screenshots attached.
I understand a lot of the problems are being caused by the phone not going into deep sleep. One of the ones I pinned it down to was if you go into Maps and check the location settings through there...i've turned them all off (and i still get correct google now information).
If someone wants to try that and then let us know what its like then that'd help everyone.

well not quite sure what you're doing with your phone - in that image, your mobile signal is only on for about half of the total time? did you have it in airplane mode or something?
my battery is pretty terrible - actually shocking the past few days. I can't even get through a full work day without it being down to <30%, which is only 9 hours or so. I've had power saver turned on all the time, too. I use it a bit for texts during the day and that's about it - no heavy data use. so I have no idea what's sapping it so heavily. it's quite bizarre. even if I try to micro-manage my data by turning it on only when I need it, I still get down to 40%.
this is on a stock ROM by the way. considering changing to a lighter weight custom ROM to see if that helps, as this is just ridiculous!

im getting same type of drain also. i made a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090024&highlight=+q+battery+life
idk if this is normal or not cause its new. also im coming from 2 hr battery drain on g2x so idk what is normal nowadays
-----------
actuallyi just glanced at ur screen shot and for u it might be the mobile radio. It seems like ur signal is spotty for most of the time. this drains battery like no other when trying to find a good signal this goes with wifi too

HOX's battery live was terrible at first. (ICS & Old kernel)
Now it seems that it has reached its max capability. It saves the day, but it would be great, if the battery had been 2100 mah. :angel:

How much was your screen on time tho? I could just leave my phone doing nothing and have over 1day battery.
@op you could try the battery calibration. Charge phone till green light, once fully charged unplug and switch off the phone and charge again till green light now switch on and use phone.
You should now have better battery.

Calibration doesn't do nothing and certainly not gonna give you better battery life.
