Abnormal battery life on stock 4.0.2?

Lately, I noticed my battery has been dying much faster than normal. I got the phone maybe like 3 weeks ago, and it was lasting longer. I'm not sure if it's some app I downloaded or just the bad radios in 4.0.2 causing me to keep searching for signal, but it's definitely impacted how much I use my phone.
Anyone know what's going on? Or if theres some known issue with this?
Attached are some pictures of the running applications and the battery charts.

8.5hrs with 31% is pretty good to me.
You should look at my battery, 5hrs down to 16% (I have all active sync disabled, turned of 4G AND screen brightness only at like 5% for the entire time.)
*sigh*

If you look that is almost all standby time, which should be lasting way longer.

That's not horrible but you should look into what's waking up your phone so often.
Whats your screen-on time there? It looks like its really low.

It was at about 25 minutes of screen-on, but the keep-awake on the android OS was an hour. Could this be the culprit?

Well look at your "awake" bar. Something is consistently waking the phone. Just syncing email etc wouldn't keep it awake that long. Its another app.
Use something like "BetterBatteryStats" to monitor microscopically whats waking the device.

Thanks, I'll use that app and post results.
Another thing is I looked at the cell standby, and it told me that 25% of the time it did not have signal. Could searching for signal cause the intense battery usage?

yes, absolutely
90% of battery problems are either user installed app or radio related so far on the nexus thread

Looks like you had some times of bad signal based on your screenshots, but not the entire time.
Bottom line your phone should be idling much better than that. Granted I'm on GSM and not LTE, but when I turn off my screen and let it idle (i.e. forget to plug it in over night) the graph is almost flat. It will idle forever. Yours is not seeming to do that.

reboot..
I reboot my phone twice a week. It works really good.
Battery after a reboot and 9 hours standby. 96%
Without a reboot 70%
Big difference..

After much testing, I found out the anti-theft feature in Avast! is causing the massive battery drain. It prevents the phone from going to sleep.

Ow that sucks well out with that app, I use avg very good. Also I get an average battery usage of 3hours screen on time.
That's with most syncs on also wifi and GPS are always on.
Usually its bad apps that can't handle ics
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'm also using Avast but I think my awake pattern fairly falls in line with the screen on pattern. Twice out of the 2 months I've owned my nexus the battery has drained really fast - normally I will get about 28 hours. Any ideas?

Mugen battery for S3

I bought a Mugen battery for my S3 and am currently testing it out. Rooted, stock ROM.
I charged it and then discharged it until the phone stopped. The put it on charge again with the phone on - as recommended by Mugen - for about 9 hours (as recommended).
I supose that it hasn't be an especially heavy usage day but still, after 9 hours of very light use the battery still show 88%. Amazing.
Battery usage wasn't a real issue for me anyway. On a standard battery with heavy use I could get through a whole day quite easily - which compared to my HTC desire HD was fantastic. The HTC realy needed a Mugen battery. Anyway, I decided to fork out the price - $44 -ouch! and it looks as if it will be a very good battery indeed.
I'm going to do a full discharge again and then long recharge. At this rate, I expect it to take at least a couple of days - maybe three to get it to 0%.
After a few cycles, I may even have a four day battery - certainly a 3 day battery.
We'll see.

30 hours later - light use - reading papers, some email, some calls - 65% left

Can you put here screenshots with battery usage and screen-on figure ?

My regular battery was on 87% after 16 hours of very light use yesterday.
Need battery stats, screen stats etc. as everyone's definition of light use changes!

Yeah his screen looks scratched to **** lol or could be the camera he is usings lens is scratched to ****

Screen is perfect - but the protector has had substantial use. I've just changed it.
Battery is possibly just a smidgeon larger than a standard battery - but it's just an impression. The battery is 2300ma and fits without any problem under the standard cover.
I don't know why, I lost root and couldn't use a screen grab so I had to take a photo instead.

Can you provide a screen-on time shot? How many hours was the screen on for?

You scared the life out of me.....for one horrible minute I thought I had wandered into "accessories".....then I realized I was indeed in "general".....and everything was ok

What do you guys class as light use?
I left work 1 hour ago with 100%. Been listening to music, checking facebook, xda and news site and now at 81%.
Is that heavy use?
I'm not complying because compared to my old i9000 that's good!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I consider 1 hour's use as light use.
My light use over a much longer period was "light" compared to a heavy use when I might be checking and writing emails several times an hour, checking my twitter account and posting in my forum several times durring the day.
Whatever "light use" means - the new Mugen battery is very much better than my standard battery with mr normal light use.
I don't think that it is worth this thread getting into discussion about what is "light use".
I shouldn't have used the phrase.
What I want to say is that the Mugen battery is substantially better.
I still don't know if it was worth the $44 - because that is really very expensive for a battery - especially for me when battery usage wasn't a particular issue - unlike the DHD which was badly spoiled by the poor battery life

Thank's for this information.
Can you post one picture showing the back and one side of the phone. I think the Mugen Power Battery is fatter than the genuine one.
What looks like the galaxy s3 now ?

sorry - I don't have time t do that. It is a standard size and fits complet;y under the standard cover.
I think that ther is amore powerful Mugen battery which does need a special cover - but mine is a standard size 2300ma

1 hour 20 mins use and 65%? That's really not very impressive at all. That equates to about 4 hours screen time which is quite easy to achieve on the stock battery. It's certainly not worth the inflated price.

For comparison a cheap $15 4500 mah battery gives me 45 hours with 7 hours screen time. Here are some screenshots

No problem. If it has a standard shape and size, it's perfect.
I've already seen Mugen battery with high capacity (more than 4000mAh) which added 5mm on each side.

Battery draining on Cellular Network even no SIM card inserted

just fully charged it last night, play a bit, battery was at 90% when i went to bed, wifi was on, i even had the juice defender installed.
when i got up this morning (6 hr sleep), the battery has 50% left! when i check the battery usage, Cellular Network is the one used battery most, says 30%, then Phone idle came second with 25%. is that normal? ( I don't think so...) even the phone in idle mode it used that much battery? and even i don't have a SIM card in the phone, the Cellular Network still consuming battery?

Sounds like it was searching for the network all night. I would hope it'd be smart enough to just stop, but apparently not! I'm sure it'd sleep like a baby in airplane mode.

If the radio is on it'll consume power - and with no SIM card inserted, unless you enter airplane mode, it'll leave the radio on for emergency calls.
Might even consume MORE power in that configuration. I've noticed that Qualcomm devices often behave badly in terms of power consumption when they don't have a SIM.

Yep, way more. I work in AK and you often leave coverage, do so without going in to airplane and the battery will plummet as quickly as if you are on an active call because your phone is constantly searching for a network. Some phone will search for a while and then take a break and resume after a set interval. These are not as bad but you're still way ahead of the game going to airplane until you get in coverage.
Some people are not aware that you can go into airplane and then turn on WiFi after.

Anyone else have OppoKinectService.apk show up as a major contributor towards battery drain? When I look at my battery consumption history its always between 30%-40%. Does anyone know what that app does or controls?

Isn't that the service which controls the off screen gestures?

Not sure to be honest. I have all gestures turned off and yet I still have the drain. Only gesture I have enabled still is knock on/off. That can't account for that much drain. Unless they are still working out the kinks in color OS

You're either out our you're in because enabling one requires the phone to standby for a potential input every bit as much as enabling them all. You do benefit from killing the voice because the phone no longer has to keep a live mic going or use cycles trying to parse out whether you did or did not use the trigger phrase.

Yes, I posted on the Oppo Google+ community yesterday on this very thing. My battery life is atrocious! I even reloaded the phone after a few days (to rule out an app). I have tried everything under the sun to improve the battery performance, even turning the LTE off and going with Edge service - made very little difference. I love the hardware, but this is ridiculous. I understand each phone has its nuance, but there is a limit. Thankfully, Oppo included an extra battery. Perhaps with this freebie, they acknowledge battery drain? Thankful for the rapid charger too. I hope a firmware release is on the way that will address the battery drain issues.

I don't get poor battery life by any means. I got 13+ hours yesterday with 7+ hours of on screen time. I just want to know where that drain is coming from and if it can be avoided and yield better battery life.

At that point I still had the knock on/off gesture enabled. I just had other gestures off. After disabling the knock feature I noticed the OppoKinectService stopped appearing in my battery manager so I guess that solves that.

Strange you have the OppoKinectService listed in your battery stats, I have all the gestures on and never see that.
But I, and I think many others, aren't seeing anywhere near the screen battery time you're getting.
What else have you configured/disabled? Which software version?

i normarlly have over 3hrs screen on time during my 1st week with 7a.
phone used time from 17~30 hrs depends on my usage. but generally i think the battery is very good.

and strangely enough, when i leave the phone idle (during my sleep) , it seems to drain faster than when i use the phone during the day? anyone else have the same experience?

Yes, the reports on poor standby are so ubiquitous that I'm pretty sure the rare few who are claiming otherwise don't know what they are talking about or are mistaken. It was mentioned in every single review that bothered to mention standby at all so you can figure you have a known issue(s) affecting all devices.

[Q] How is the battery in G3?

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

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.

Battery life became horrendous the past couple of months

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes that app. Just disable everything in mi fit and use the same and more functionality in mi band tools.

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?

As I'm aware of this, yes all mi 6 phones have lithium polymer batteries.

I meant smartphones in general, because I always hear "lithium ion".

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?
