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?
There are 2 with same name. Google's and an other 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?

Not kidding. Usually if i dont touch the phone, just the normal stuff that use the battery (display,idle etc.)
I use an app called my battery drain analyzer and it shows even when in idle the battery lose about 7%-8% in an hour.

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

changing kernels usually helps

Hi guys. Thursday last week I got a Note II, wonderful device. I see people stating that it eats 1% battery in 10-15 minutes, but for me, it eats 1% in 1-3 minutes, when in use. I am running MonxIfied Sent and RedPill 0.10 kernel with stock speed. It consumes very little battery when sleeping, but it is in use that is the problem. I will add some pics of battery usage. What's wrong?

To be honest it seems quite normal. Keep in mind it's a big screen plus if you have mobile data or wifi on then the phone is likely to be doing stuff in the background when the device is awake.

What does the partial wakelocks in better battery stats look like?
EDIT: Eh, never mind, if it consumes very little battery when sleeping it's probably not a wakelock...
There's a pretty steep drop there in the third screenshot, looks strange. Wonder what happened there!

The OP is asking about battery drain when the screen is ON.
Partial wakelocks should be of no concern really, unless his battery was draining fast when screen is off.

Wifi seems to go off at the point, so possibly phone searching for a mobile data connection?
That's a wild guess though

Yeah these are the problems ive been getting..returning my phone with warranty if they give me a new battery or something..but i get average battery life on screen stand by sucks alot.

From the other thread, your problems do sound a bit different mate

I'm having a little theory. I have also had an iPhone 4, which also had high battery drain. Could the problem be my wifi/router?

Interesting theory. Can't say I know for sure but I guess it's plausable if it has poor signal or drops out often.
Have you tired chaning the channel on it? I do that for my Xbox 360 sometimes if signal is crap.
You could also try flashing a different modem on your Note 2 to see if that improves things. I remember on my old HTC Hero and Desire HD changing the radio (modem) could often improve wifi / mobile data reception and as a result improve battery consumption.
Again, I'm not expert on this so just guessing!

72% with one hour screen on
13% drop when you used recovery
=> after 1 hour screen on 85 percent
=> after 6 hours screen on, 10% battery
=> your phone doesn't have a problem

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!

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.

[Q] Help!!! Battery problem makes me wann commit suicide.

I really am close to killing myself due to sadness and disappointment because of my phone's battery life. lol. I have a Galaxy Note 2(4.1.1 ver) and my battery lasts for 12-16 hours. I use it mostly for Facebook, Google, Viber and YouTube. I have other typical social networking/comm apps (YM,Skype, Instagram,Twitter) but I dont use them often. I have less than 10 games (Temple Run2, Angry Birds, Diamond Dash) but I dont play for more than 15 mins. I have observed that when my phone is NOT in use, it decreases by 7-10% per hour (sometimes 1% per minute on idle) during the day. At night, before I go to sleep, it is a fully charged phone and when I wake up, 25% of the battery's life is gone within 8hrs of not touching it even to check the time. I dont know if its the normal draining rate of the battery, if its a factory defect on the battery or the phone itself, or if it is the app or android system. They say you need to turn off the location or something but I couldn't seem to find it. My phone is just 4 days old, or maybe 5. Im hoping when the phone turns a week old, things will be better. Or should I try to kill myself now? Any possible solutions???
PS. Please try to use "simple" instructions or terms. I really am not good about technology.

Update to the latest firmware.. and then do a factory reset.. do take up back up before doing the factory reset. what is your screen time? post screen shots of your battery stats.. and committing suicide is not going to solve your problem.. but still remarkable that someone considers this over battery woes..

please say to us which apps are you using because there are lots of draining apps. sqich off gps brightness at the minimum values and so on if you haven't done it yet
hope it worked to you

Here you go gentlemen

It doesn't say much, I mean are you playing games such as need for speed or similars? is you brightness at maximum? I use the battery saving feature of the phone and I have to say that there is no difference in performance but there is in the battery I mean it last a more than in "normal" mode. if you already tried it at it still has that draining do full wipe and flash a new rom.
Hope it was useful

Good Lord! You wanna suicide for some ****in phone's ****in battery life? Come on man. This is a simple gadget, not your child or family. Use it heavy, have fun recharge it, throw it when you are done, then use it when you in need again.
Anyway, I think you are using 3G, turn it off if you don't need it, you'll notice massive battery life increase, but if you can't disable it then I will say get used with that.
There are two simple things,
With 3G- Moderate battery life. You CAN NOT do anything to increase it.
With 2G- Solid battery life.
PS: IMO, 4.1.2 has even bad backup.

your phone has a decent battery life... at 50% your screen time is almost 3 hours which is good enough... Well now live your life:fingers-crossed: and enjoy Galaxy Note 2.. it's brilliant :good:

what a wicked world we are living ... suicide over battery issue?
try install betterbatterystats from xda ... it'll let u know which rogue apps sipping away your battery juice :good:

You must have high expectations, 12-16 hours for a charge isn't that bad, especially if you're actually using your phone a decent amount. You won't be getting a week's worth of battery at a time.

Nice thread!! u got everyone attention..lol
like someone in this thread already mention, turn off 3G when not use..Go to task manager & switch off all running background app..clear memory..Do it b4 u go to bed every night..Good luck!!

1st look seems like the blue bar is always on. Tap on the graph and see the breakdown further, whether is it awake due to screen on or not.

Lol. I was kidding you guys!!!! Well im not on 3g and I think I ticked the option gsm only on my phone. Tried clearing rom and I always make sure to end all activities. On that 50% I never played any games. Jisy browsing on fb and google. Just dl the betterbatt thingView attachment 1704752

looking at your pic... it looks like some rogue apps is keeping your phone awake eventho your screen is off

So how can I find the culprit? Charged my phone and will show you shots from betterbattery laters. Please guys,help me figure it out.

What does BBS say under "Process"?
Also, check the built-in process manager: Long-press the home button and click the pie chart. Switch to the first tab.
Is there an app where the CPU percentage changes even though the app should be sleeping and steady at 0.00%? I see that quite frequently. Mostly by the stock browser and the XDA premium app. Thats how I found the worst ones

You've posted 11 minute old stats, post from a full charge cycle.

It would. Well, she wouldn't care as much anyway....

Well op is right.
I have wifi gps 3g sync always on with close to his usage and I get 3 days straight.
Lol.
Overnight 1% drain max 2%
I think the op has got some reason to worry.
Other than that suicide is not recommended.
