The battery life on my play drains quickly after the battery gauge goes under 50%. Is there anyway to fix this?
Also, how do keep no frills classic from force closing every time try to change CPU settings?

Hi all
Yeeea I know you may think "WTF! another battery drain thread" But I've search the forum and there is nothing about that strange behaviour of my little big desire.
Usually at night when my phone is in plane mode and on standby, the battery drain is about 2ma (CurrentWidget).
But after a few hours of standby, the drain suddenly rises to 40ma. If i turn the phone on and off immediately, the drain returns to a normal 2ma.
Any Idea?
I'm using SetCPU with a "Screen OFF" profile. Could it be the cause of this?
Attached is a graphic of my battery. You can see that starting a 2 AM the phone starts to drain the battery and stops when I've switch it On and OFF a 8 AM
I've been using an app called "OS MONITOR" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lb2x3cmFsLm9zbW9uaXRvciJd since I got my GN and I'm now on a mission to improve the battery life by seeing what programs I can disable/live without for the sake of battery life.
I've got the app running in the task bar and monitoring CPU usage with a refresh rate of 2 seconds.
Now from what I've noticed in battery settings, it doesnt seem to keep the phone awake and i still get 2+hours of screen time with fairly heavy usage.
Anyone familiar with the app and its power consumption?
Ok so ive installed alot of custom roms on my wildfire s and on all of them my battery life sucks. If im on wifi my battery goes down 10 to 15% in like 2 to 3 minuets. Do you guys think its because of the roms or i just need a new battery. Please help.
Type in the call menu : *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery menu.Wrote there all the informations.
Do you full charge your phone ?(about 2-3 hours)
Try to delete the batterystats.bin file via CWM.
If i helped you,click "Thank's" button.Have a nice day

10 - 15 % in 2 minutes? WTF?
Are you sure your battery isn't faulty?
Even in worst conditions my battery never drained that fast.
Anyways here are some tips:
-Charge phone to 100%
Go to CWM and delete battery stats.
- Dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information, In preffered network type Select GSM auto PRL.
- Use juice defender or something which would turn off wifi whenever its not being used.
- Make sure all the accounts aren't set to push as it takes a lot of battery.
- End processes by going to Apps-> Running services.
- Don't use heavy widgets on homescreen or launchers.
- Brightness to auto and timeout time must be less.
I could remember just these. But I guess if it's true that your battery is draining that fast most probably your battery is faulty. Get a new one.
sounds like a faulty battery.
Kill/Uninstall Apps
Yeah, I had this problem :/
What I did was
- download a battery saver app, It closes mobile networks when you're not using them.
- Set the screen to a low but visible setting
- Uninstall some of the memory draining apps
- and kill some of the RAM munching apps.
Hope this works :L
ill try some of them
Don't download a battery saver app, it'll just use cpu cycles and battery even more.
Manually turn off mobile data and wifi when you're not using them.
Don't overclock.
Lower your screen brightness.
And ultimate solution, get an extended battery.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
What kind of charger are you using to charge the battery? If the charger's voltage and Amp's out put is higher then what the phone can take it could be over charging your phone and charging your phone way to fast. If your charger is normal then I would invest in a new battery, a o.e.m battery is good.

Dirty Flash?
Low signal area?
From what I know 4.22 has about 1 hour less screen on time than 4.12. Then again, I think we all here can drain about 30% battery in a hour, if we wanted to. What exactly are you doing in that 1 hours time.
battery isn't what it used to be.
4.1.2 was much better battery wise
Some solutions
you can try apps like:
greenify which hibernates background apps and some other apps which are hibernated as your phone goes in standby. (Root)
Ds battery saver which will turn off wifi when the phone is on standby.
Cpu sleeper which turns off one core when phone is on standby (Root)
Battery Calibration (Root)
Lux auto brightness which adjust the brightness and is battery efficient
You can under clock or under volt or even change your screens colour settings. (Root)
Hope these apps and tips help
While i acknowledge that most of battery life is determined by the actions of the user and what apps they use, some ROM/Kernel combos just have notoriously crap battery life regardless of how you cut it. I have found that 10.1 and its stock kernel are one of those instances. Hell, even while using a different kernel and great settings i still have been unable to get the same kind of battery as i can with other combos. Personally, EOS is the complete package of customizability and battery life out of the box for me. Perhaps you should give it a shot. CyanogenMod is just far too dirty.

All good except for Battery Calibration. That app, and others that operate on the same premise are 100% snake oil. And end user can do the exact same thing that the app does simply by unplugging their phone from the charger after a full or near-full charge. It in no way, shape, or form touches anything related to battery life or battery charge indication.

I have hit a wall and can't figure this out for the life of me. With gsam.. whenever my battery drops a percentage the usage spikes from 3.3% to 30-60%. ??
I've installed numerous roms and even tested this on stock and still the problem remains (with no apps installed and no google apps).
Anybody have any idea of what could be causing this? I am currently on MM and the most current firmware available for my phone.
I am losing sleep over this haha
OK, here's an example to show you what the percentage in GSam means: If your battery went down from 100 to 90% (-> 10% decrease) and you see an usage of 30% for the display in GSam, then the display has used 3% (30% of 10%) of your battery power.
Is the same true when my usage drops by 1% when my hourly percent is idle at 3.x%/hour and then spikes to 25-90%/h? It gets nice and settled at 3-4%/h then when it drops a digit on usage it spikes up to 25-90%/h and crawls back down to 3-4%/h until the next usage % drops? ... I have wakelock detector which shows nothing happening, tried bbs and same happens but I cannot find what causes my %/h to spike like this.
Sorry, this is really frustrating to me.
