I've gotten the 2,100 mAh extended battery. I've turned off lte. and with NO web surfing or video, I run out of juice in 6 -7 hours. Not even a lot of calls. Maybe 20 minutes max. In Settings, the battery tab shows Android OS using 60% of the battery. My wife's Droid X show Android OS at 2%
What's going on? What could be using so much of the battery?
Any references to where tishas been discussed?

how many days have you been using the extended battery? i also had 6-8 hours when i first got it, but just wait a couple of days, you will be fine. it takes a couple days for the battery to actually settle. i have had the extended battery for over a month and now i get 12-14 hours on one charge, with LTE & WiFi & GPS on, 40% brightness, and quite a lot of use
Just got mine yesterday... also having similar results the first full day of use...took off the charger at 10 and was at 25% by 6. I was at work only slightly browsing forums, web, calls, etc ...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
me too
Me too got my gnex and full charged at 8am and usually i will be down to 25% by noon.
I have tried flashing kernel (fransco) and rom (bigxie) and same.
They are talking about the device is not getting deep sleep. Any recommendations on what apps could have wait up or prevent the phone from getting deep sleep? I assume email push, IMs? But then iphone has them too and they can last long...
Any help is appreciated. Thx.
when you get a new battery, the first few days are gonna suck.
I'm sitting at 14.5 hours @ 29% left. I leave 4g on all the time. I'm a moderate user, heavy user sometimes.
Yes Android OS is the culprit. The problem went away after I put a the Open Kang Project rom on it.
I didn't hear about an official 2100 mAh battery. Maybe it's not original. Not original batteries are most of the time over stated. you can remove 50% of the mAh in that case.
I bought the official 2000 mAh battery with a new back cover (because the old one won't fit) and it gave me 10-20% more autonomy. Now it's up to 12h
2100 is the battery for the Verizon Nexus, 2000 is for the GSM one

Just root and flash a custom rom. I'm on the standard battery and getting 1.5 days with moderate use 3G + Wifi on Manhattan IC112 rom with overclocking enabled to 1.32Ghz (using imoseyon kernel that come preloaded), bluetooth on half the time, sync on, and a ton of extra features. (full day with moderate-heavy usage).
Almost similar performance on MCR Ir10 rom.
Using XXKK6 radio.

Use CPU Spy to track how often your phone is going into deep sleep and Better Batty Stats to find out what is wakelock'ing you phone.

This is nonsense. AOKP probably does provide better battery life but that has nothing to do with "Android OS" being "the culprit". Battery life for Android OS is reported differently in ICS than in any previous version of Android, that's why it shows a higher % than previously. It's neither a bad nor a good thing.
I have had very battery life for some reason (dies after 6 hours of light usage). I replaced the battery with a galaxy s II OEM battery which is also 1850mah. I also am using every battery saving root apps on stock 4.2.2. Any reason why? Maybe water damage since I got this from eBay?

Hi Im also having a similar issue. the way i regularly use my galaxy nexus the battery usually last 4 - 6 days. after one recharge i am loosing 5 - 6 percent an hour . I am currently running 4.3.1 on a yakju (previously yakjuux) galaxy nexus . my phone has worked fine since i bought it a year ago and the battery is just under 2 years old (Manufacture date is 2011.12.18) should the battery really be dieing this fast after one recharge?

Do you also get 60-70% battery useage by screen?
Install BetterBatteryStats, or similar, and check if the cpu enter in sleep mode when the screen is off.

Well the software issue might be resolved if your phone is rooted.
try charging yur battery to a full 100%, now go to the file "/data/system/batterystats.bin" and delete it. Unplug your charger and use your phone without restarting of powering it off. Let the battery level reach under 10%. Now charge your phone again (IN ONE GO). Do not unplug until it is again at a 100%.
If yu are not able to complete a full charging cycle, repeat from start.. Don't worry, nothing would get hurt.

Hey peeps,
ive flashed my phone with B122 firmware as people were reporting extended battery life and better wifi. My wifi and the gps seems A-ok, but the battery still seems shocking, goes down 1% like every 5mins or less im on web. Ive only had it 24 hours so battery is new. Ive go into power managment and set on middle option, average or whatever its called. ANy help or advice? some people saying they get 2 days out of it

All mobiles lose battery much in browsing. Go to gsmarena and you can check the browsing hours (via "endurance rating") of each mobile. Only LG G2 has exceptionally large browsing time.
Other than, check if there is anything else draining your battery like auto updates or auto sync or location access.
Edit: Seems like The xperia ZR gets a exceptionally good battery life too in browsing, even though with 2300mAh battery. A slightly smaller screen may give it an advantage but makes me feel that P6 should be able to do better. Hopefully the upgrade to kitkat+emui2.0 or the custom roms helps.
---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------
1% every 5mins means you get 500mins of browsing time. That means 8.3 hrs , more than what gsmarena calculated. The LG G2 with around 11hrs browsing time would be losing 1% every 6.6 mins.
My battery on B122 is better than on B118.
Sorry for noob question, but is the numbers you talk abought on the end of the build number? my build number ends on B111.
If so, is there a changelog from B111 to B122? I cant find any. Phone only on second charge but battery SUCKS!
Thanx alot
How is the battery? Should I buy this phone?
I usually get 17 to 18hrs, heavy usage but no game play
Battery life is very good with custom Rom, custom kernel, some disabled services...
I love battery life, I can easily get 2 days with a single charge, wifi or 3G all the time. No games though. What is more strange is that 3G doesnt drain my battery at all.

Most people get about 4-5 hours of SoT on a charge. I find I can only achieve this when I have the backlight set on a low setting. I usually have it somewhere between 0-30% and the phone can last me about 30 hours on a charge. I usually charge when I'm around 15-20% though so I could technically go to about 36 hours but I don't like waiting until I'm fully depleted to recharge. If you're a daily charger, the battery life on this phone will be completely fine for most days.
(The 4-5 hours of SoT is for when the battery gets completely depleted, not what I get around 20% battery left)
If you're planning to play games most of the time, than this is not the phone for you. Games just drain the battery, I don't think it will last for more than 2, maybe 3 hours while gaming. For everything else, battery is very good.

Battery gets winged about on this phone alot.
Myself i find it amazing - if im just using basic stuff on it every couple of hours i could easily get 3 days out of it, on standby it drains about 1% every 7 hours - that was after i used greenify.
Wifi and 3g just sitting on dont seem to affect it at all

Not at all for gaming. Maybe just one lite game once a day.

So battery is ok?
With sync on, brightness on auto on around 50%, some gaming, mostly low usage you can get 24 hours of the thing.
The battery is not "excellent" but it's good enough.
The battery has always been really excellent for me. Most days, I can go without charge at least until 10:30 at night, and I am a very heavy user. I have gotten over 6.5 hrs on screen time on multiple occasions. That said, my brightness settings are usually quite low, 0-30% range, and the screen still consumes about 57% of my battery usage.
The best was 112 hours, but it was a week with a lot of stuff to do and little attention paid towards the phone...usually I get 3-4 days, so 70-90 hours with medium usage, wi-fi or data used during day and all communication turned of at night. I am very pleased of the battery life of G3
I'm mostly through the day in a 4g environment with 50-70% signal strength (unscientific on what the phone shows). guess that accounts to the battery life, most likely on 3g I would squeeze more out of it, but it's not all "dandy" and "overwhelming".
---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
This was today, good, but low screen on time... I should reach the 24 h mark with that usage but if I would stress the thing more...
It depends on the service your getting. If I'm in a good service area it lasts forever. It's comparable to my m8 and m7 and Galaxy s3. Not much more or less.
If you do decide to buy this amazing piece of tech, download deep sleep battery saver. I noticed about a 20 percent increase in standby time.

I myself have the G2 and it's excellent from the specifications, everything amazing. It should even have better battery life than the G3 because of the resolution.
Anyhow I would say never LG again! The software is a mess. It's slow, laggy, bloated and has an awful design. Of course you can use Aosp roms but guess what? LG has closed sourced drivers so using an aosp rom will ruin your camera quality and battery life. It's really sad. Such an amazing phone, but ruined by the software

I ran the G3 port too, but the difference is marginal. And it's very slow, loading caller, contacts or settings shows that LG can make one of the fastest snapdragons as "fast" as the smartphones four years ago lol. I think in the end nexus devices are the best, as they have clean and updated firmware as well as tons of good and usable custom roms.

Hello. I bought my Mi 6 (Chinese ceramic model) in... January, I believed, maybe even February. The screen-on time from full charge used to be 12-13 hours with mostly web browsing and the occasional gaming. I guess it lowered somewhat throughout the first few months, but it was still quite high and usually over 10 hours. Now, Xiaomi released several OS updates in that time, and I suppose none improved battery life (even though I check user feedback before updating and occasionally that was a claimed improvement), but since the last update I think something went seriously wrong.
I'm not sure it became like this exactly after I updated to 10.0.1.0(OCAMIFH), which makes it even stranger, but currently my battery gives less than 3 hours screen-on time before shutting down. It also drains considerably when idle, possibly >10% over-night.
It doesn't seem right that the battery would age so quickly all of a sudden. The phone is less than a year old and the battery acts like it's 5. Is there anyone else who have it go this bad all of a sudden? Maybe something on my phone is spying on me and drains a ton of battery? Or perhaps the battery used in the Mi 6 is crap and loses capacity too quickly?
Thanks in advance.

you should check what is draining your battery (you can find it in the settings) and i would advice to do a "factory reset" as maybe after the update an app got "crazy" or dose/doze? isn't being "used", also there is an option on the app's settings page where you can select what type of "optimization" the phone does to conserve battery atm i have mine set to "let miui choose the best"
Hi! Did you for any chance bought a miband? I ask this because both me and my girlfriend have mi6 and I use the mifit app. I get around 3 or 4 hours screen on time per day while she gets 6 or 7.
Either way, don't think you should expect the 10 hours to be normal.

Nope, the phone isn't connected to any peripheral. I didn't think it should last 12+ hours (so even more than 10) for eternity, but to my understanding lithium ion batteries lose about 30% of their capacity after 1,000 recharging cycles, and I doubt I got even close to that in 10 months while my battery has supposedly already lost 50% or more than its original capacity.

Just for the record: We don't have lithium ion batteries, we have lithium polymer batteries.
But the thing that matters is, lithium polymer batteries have less full charge/discharge lifetimes.

Btw I have a mi band 2 too and I just use mi fit app for basic connection, then everything else is handled by mi band tools app + root for better sleep as android integration. And it just doesn't drain my battery as yours do. I still have around 10 hours sot here, after 14 months of use.

Oh I really want/need that ahaha I've been using this version of the app, I notice it doesn't drain as much battery, but still I almost never reach 4 hours of screen on time. Is there any tutorial where I can check how to configure mifit and mi band tools better or is it just a matter of having mi band tools installed?
Edit:
Is it this app?
@TLxda-d and my suggestion to you is making a clean installation/setup by factory resetting for example. To get rid of all these cache and also so called miui optimization sh¡t's cache too. Miui tends to be fuk'd up after a year or so.

Are all phones using Lithium Polymer batteries?
And is it reasonable thus that my phone holds less than half the up-time now between charges?

Lithium-ion and Lithium-polymer (mainly know as Lithium-polymer-ion) are identical, just their physical sizes change and some of their characteristics are a tiny bit different, nonetheless i get on my mi 6 like more then 10hours of battery life (browsing instagram, playing a few games here and there [somewhat high demanding], listening to music all the time) and i also charge mine from 67%~40%-25% and i have not seen any type of "degradation" on my battery, i would reccomend you to not charge it all the way to 100% (as a way to lessen the charge cycles, i mean even if you dont reach 100% the closer it gets to "full" the more strain you put into the battery, the same goes for reaching 0%) i would also advice you to do a factory reset, as usually it is an "app" that eats the entire battery life. ( sorry for my bad-ish english, hope i helped)
My mi6 is suffering from the same sh*t... Almost 2 years old. I was on miui eu for almost one year... Never updated...
Wanted to go back to something different.. tried RR OS 8.1 final and now Mokee 9.0 but they give me horrible battery life. I did a complete fresh install with erase data.. can't make it through one day. Maybe 2hrs SOT..[emoji26]
Last night it drained 11% within 7hrs in airplane mode [emoji848]
In settings it says: no data about battery usage ..
It really annoys me since i don't wanna miss the smoothness of that ROM...
Miui eu gave me Bluetooth problems with my car otherwise it was okay, especially battery wise...
Any suggestions?
Appreciate it!
Well, let's not transform this in a Lithium related topic.
The thing is I'm having the same problem as OP, and have seen many users in en.MIUI forum in the same situation. I'm now with latest global stable(V10.2.1.0.OCAMIXM), but even after that update i was on V10.0.1.0, never rooted, never unlocked bootloader, etc. I always had good battery life, even in v10.0.1.0. But one day, suddendly my phone started a huge battery drain.
No, it's not associated with any app installation, my usage routine didn't changed, everything was still the same as before, but a ramdom battery drain appeares, did u guys get it?
Just to record the gravity of the situation: overnight i lost 20%~35% of juice, this is ridiculous!
I though to myself: It must be a battery problem. Ordered a new original one and for my surprise the problem continues.
I don't now what to do, i don't want a custom rom not based on miui because i really like it. Is anyone using the latest miui.eu and have this battery drain?
