my battery drains fast and i dont know what to do.
ive installed juice defender and did everything else to limit the battery drain as much as possible.
one thing ive noticed is that my screens brightness is set to low, but on my battery stats it says Display 64%
and recently my system says 30%
i left my phone on the charger overnight. and it got unplugged from the charger, when i woke i looked at my stats and the display was at 64%
the phone signal bar was filled and it was bright yellow.
and my system said 34%
can anyone help me?
When you plug it into a wall charger, can you confirm its charging AC and not USB
How old is the battery? Have you checked all the software that are automatically sync ?
I think that you must dig deep on what's your battery being used and consider the age of the battery in there too

Yes I can confirm it, it says ac charging

@ megabiteg not even a year old. I tried screen filter, flashing diffrent radios, changing wallpapers and turning off haptic press. How do u suggest I dig deeper?

There are battery monitoring apps that you can find to monitor unusual activity.
Now your display is at 64% which is very peculiar.

Hmm I don't know what's up with it. I set my CPU low and I'm running evolved Final ROM.

Could it have something to do with sense?

Try System Panel, it's in the market. Best app I've found for monitoring battery consumption, especially when you need more details than the About Phone section under settings provides. It is a premium app, but cheaper than a new battery. Hope you find a solution quick! Battery problems are a pain.

Have you tried calibrating your battery? Charge to 100%, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (or you can use the Battery Calibration app). Let the phone discharge fully - don't plug it in until it dies - then charge back to 100% without breaks.
It could also be an issue with your usb cable or charger. Sprint can run a test on the battery to see if it is the problem. Try calibration first to rule that out, and never wipe battery stats unless you're fully charged.

I've tried the battery calibration. And I've done the wipe stats. I've read on how to recalibrate from HTC....

Another thing I've noticed is that my battery drains when I flash a ROM...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
try charging it while its turned off then repeat the steps plainjane said. i was in the same boat as you when i flashed the evolved rom, now my battery life is pretty good.
What I just did was downgrade my radio one. My battery has been so much better in life. I am at 7 hrs right now at 66%. I have been using 4g, texting, and sending emails. Currently running Decks 1.3, SZ 2.2.1 CFS Havs.
What radio do you suggest? I'm on 1.77

I tried the wake lock fix... I dunno if that one was a good pick. What do u suggest?

Does anyone else notice when plugged into the USB of a computer that the battery bar shows slow charge? At one point I thought I saw on my PC that error showed up saying something about a high speed USB not being connected so it working at a slower speed. I thought all PC USB connections are now 2.0 hi speed USB . Does anyone know how to fix since all my data transfer is now cut at half speed

Battery charge arent depended on USB version.
Charging via USB 2 times slower than AC
Hmmm... i have rooted my phone and trying to understand why when i use pdanet why does my laptop when i run speedtest it does not experience the same speed as my phone about half.
I thought it may have something to do with the USB connection
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
It seems like I've read somewhere that because this is such a beast of a phone, a regular usb port doesn't provide full speed charging... You need a usb with the special lightning symbol or a full ac charger... Not sure how that affects usb transfer speeds though.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Thanks I'll keep looking just trying to see what is affecting the slow speed data transfer and charge so I can fix it

My note was draining battery like crazy even on power saver mode, it would drain like 10% during night on power saver.
I did a factory reset it seemed to fix it for a day and then now it is draining again fast, I have all power consuming things shut off I don't know what else to do.
If there is one more tip for this would be really useful.

Some application is messing. Depends how many you have installed, try disabling them and then run each one by one...

That's a good start, 10% on power saver could be a lot on a phone with no apps, but if you have lots of apps its not that much, even on power saver some aps may be accesing the network, if you are connected to a wifi that would eat some battery as well.
If you added no apps and this happens then it could be a bad battery, unlikely but stuff like that happens.

Remember to sign out of apps like Google+, YouTube and Facebook, if you are signed in. If I notice quick battery drain, I'm often still signed in.
I dont know if the battery is bad or im missing something that is draining it

Is there a way to know if I have a bad battery please? I'm really concerned.

Unfortunately, I believe the only way you'd be able to really measure the mAh of your battery would be to compare with another of the same.
Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage?
Might help us narrow it down a little. Sounds like a wake lock but could also be due to terrible cell reception
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Do you know your device and android fairly well? I am guessing its a combination of the above stated bad reception and your os & apps update schedule. There is alot of way to save power by going through and changing your notifications and app updates, as well as various settings on the os (ex. Switching to airplane mode @ night or at least turning off your data) so that your facebook isnt uselessly refreshing at 2:18am to see what club steve is at while your sawing logs.

Hello, I have a weird issue going on with my s3. My phone discharges like crazy when my data is on, and by that I mean it even discharged when connected to a charger. Also the phone only charges when connected to usb, and does not charge when connected to wall charger, even tho it shows the phone is charging but the battery percentage stays static. I have tried changing batteries, chargers everything. I also changed roms, formatted the whole thing, reinstalled and still the issue remains. Is there anything I can do? Please help.
Thank you.

Seems like you have something running in the background when you data is enabled. Perhaps a app using GPS and data.
I'd download BBS (BetterBatteryStats) to narrow down the issue. Also, when you go under settings->battery, anything suspiciously high?
I have looked at battery usage abs android system is always usually high. Here is the screenshot.

Download BBS (you can find it on xda). Charge your battery to full and post the results once your battery is down to like 50-60%.
Android system can be a lot of things, seems you have awful signal though. That could be it, have you tried flashing another modem?
Actually I'm not on my hometown, this the signal is bad...otherwise usually u have good signal. Anyway I'll install bbs and get back with more data. Thanks for replies.

Here are the better battery stats screenshots, a process called "AudioOut_2" is keeping the phone awake. I don't know what this process is or what it does. Can anybody help me to get rid of this issue? Thank you.

Do you have touch keys (tone) on? If so, turn that off.
Anything that makes your phone make sound from the rear speaker triggers AudioOut_2.
Ok I will try disabling touch sounds...but I have always had touch sounds on abd never had any issue, I dnt know what changed suddenly.
Thank you tho.

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing some pretty bad battery drain. I've had my phone off the charger for an hour and its already down to 75% and I've barely used it. I checked my battery usage and Google Services are taking up 75% of my usage. Is this normal and if not is there a fix that anyone knows of?

I would start with going over to android central and the HTC one forums, they have a sticky post about battery life here http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/269518-htc-one-battery-life-stats-discussion.html
Looks like you should turn off your GPS and location, and turn off your sync. Download the gsam battery monitor. It will help you out too.
Thank youuuu
