my defy was flashed to rc1,but the battery using is very horribly...
about one hour in stand by mode,battery level from 100% to 94%,
after 6 hours,my defy was shut down...
i have already set the cpu to 25/35/50,300/600/1000
is this normal?
thank you!!!
i hope that all can understand wt i say (my poor english)
What did you do in the 6 hrs.???
If just standby and playing games for less than half and hour.
I think that's weird. It consumes too much battery life.
By the way, I'm using CM7 RC0 nightly 110615
I've tried RC1 first release without flashing the new rom and use the recovery wipe only. I've confronted the phone call problem but the battery life is much better than RC0.
UM...I have play a game call shadow guardian one hours i consumes my battery life to 55-60,but in the other 4-5hours,i just use the dictionary for few times
i dont think 4-5hours can consumes 55-60% battery
btw,is this rc1 v1 is better than v2?
with quite a heavy usage,3~4 hours call time,2 hours gaming,3 hours web browsing,cm7 rc1v1 lasted me 30hours,quite sufficient for me cause I charge my phone every night

is it the possible problem for the horrible battery drain?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097703

Hi all I just got my galaxy note 2 yesterday but the battery life is bugging me.... I feel that it is not normal.. every 5 minutes or less the battery percentage drops by % 1 even if I am not opening any apps and I have GPS, mobile data and other unnecessary things turned off and just using Wi-Fi with power saving turned ON.. I even didn't used it that much yet, no videos or apps that consume a lot of CPU and I always make sure that I kill apps after using them, currently I am just surfing the web with chrome and it is still inconsistent sometimes it drops after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 minutes, I also turn everything off except for power saving when I go to sleep but after waking up I noticed that it dropped by % 4 .. sorry for the long post guys but I am very worried and I just want to check if this is normal and if it's not I can get the battery or the whole device replaced since I have a 2 year warranty. I also attached some screenshots if you need to judge from them.

Have you updated your Note to 4.1.2?
I recently updated to 4.1.2 and my battery life has suffered.
Hopefully a new update will fix this.
Judging by what others have written, you should get between 6 to 7,5 hours with the screen on. I plugged mine in yesterday efter 1 day and 12 hours. This includes 8 hours om sleep and 6 hours at work -no time to use the phone at work. I did not make note of the screen on time.
As i write the phone has been on battery for 8,5 hours and the screen on for 1,5 hours. The battery is at 54%
Hope this helps.
Thanks for replying
But my device is still on 4.1.1 and haven't touched the software update option and still .. I am not getting that spectacular battery life everybody is reporting which bugs me since I love my note 2.. even while I am typing now the battery percentage has dropped by % 3

It's that a task killer icon in the top left corner? If so, you might first want to try if your batterylife improves after uninstalling that!
Also find the app called better battery stats on play store. I recommend you buy it and install it. EDIT: there is a free version of it on xda too... Then charge your phone to full and use it normally. When the battery starts to get low again, open the battery stats app and look for "partial wakelocks since unplugged"
There you might find the cause of your problems. Post the screenshot of the partial wakelocks screen here if you need help interpreting it!
There is a free XDA-edition of BetterBatteryStats as well.
I got similar battery life as Dmwitz reported, no idea how some people get 3 or 4 days or 7,8 h of screen-on time out of their device.
I have the same problem as you
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
That icon in your notification bar... Is that a task killer? If so, then that's your likely problem.
When you use task killers, apps that restart themselves or their services will constantly be starting up again, leading to more battery drain. Let android handle your running apps and only manually kill apps that are frozen or highly problematic (uninstall those problematic apps if you can).
Thanks for your suggestions guys I uninstalled the task killer and will try the battery app now, I will let you know once I try it

In standby overnight, maybe 3-5% battery drain. A lot of things come in play though such as what apps you have installed, if your on LTE, or 3g, or wifi, or even go into airplane mode at night, etc.

first of all , I'd like to thank you for your reply ..
I've bought a new desire 816 two days ago and I can notice something wrong with the battery as it drains faster than normal
and it gives false percent as it increases after restarting the phone ..
I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting in turn off by itself then recharging it to 100% but then I realized It's still giving me false number
I don't know what to do ... It would be great if you can help

Have you tried a battery calibration app such as the one by NeMa in the PlayStore? It requires root but it basically asks you to charge your device to 100% which is done from empty to max in about 3 hours. At this point you go in the app while its still plugged in and "clear" the batterystats. This is the file that tells the device how much charge it can hold and on some devices this file gets buggy/glitched. It will wipe this file away and generate a new one based on the charge the battery holds at max. It then asks you to use the device as normal until it dies and recharge to full afterwards. This has worked for many and I hope it will work for you as well.
If you have excessive battery drain look at the Power settings and review the usage. If it shows a green line on awake and it doesn't show the same matching the screen on time then you have a background app sucking battery from the device. Facebook and its Messenger are known to be the culprits but if you download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will allow you to hibernate practically every app so there is no battery drain when your device screen is off. In combination with this app I am able to get an average day and a half of use with no charge and normal use with Videos, Music, Facebook, Messenger; etc. I average I use about 6-10 hours on this device with pure stock w/ root & Greenify with battery calibration via app done.

Yes, Greenify does require root in order to work but it does work flawlessly.

Pressing the power switch for exactly two minutes and the device will tell you Alglaq Do you want to or not agreed to the demand and calibration Congratulations to you

I fixed my battery issue. the exposed software killed mine relating to the same issue i believe you had or have. reporting wrong percentage. once had 50 percent, took it back out of my pocket and within 5 mons i had 4%. wouldnt charge.
Power it off... hold all 3 buttons (power+volume up+volumedown) after 15 seconds it will boot back up. this calibrated my battery. hope this works for you.
Wrong battery percentage report is fixed by HTC on 1.58 rom update. it works fine on 1.58 Rom
My battery on my htc is draining fast I think it went from 100% to 83% percent in like 20 minutes is this normal? I have disabled everything that I'm able to disable on this phone but once it gets to 70% the drainage kinda slows down
Hi, ever since my device was updated to Android 5.0 about a month ago I'm experiencing a significant decline in battery life.
Before the update, the battey usage level page under the device settings used to be quite stable and I would get up to 6 hours of screen on time a little before the battery was emptied. (With approximately 10% battery left)
Now, after the update, I get roughly about two and a half hours of screen on time and the graph on the battey usage level is falling steadily. I would note that according to observations I made with the cpu spy app the device is in deep sleep most of the time when I'm not using it. I'm running stock rom and without Root. The wifi or the data are active almost all the time (respectively), and the location setting is "battery saving". Sync with Google services partially works for services I need throughout the day.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
PS sorry for my bad writing, I do not speak English natively.

hi. im a brand new rooter. i got a preowned s4 mini last week and decided to root it using a guide here(im very new to all of this) i deleted bloatware and use apps like greenify, setcpu, wakelock detector all to my knowledge have been done right and im still having crap battery times. worse than my 5 year old iphone 4s!
i can post any screenshot of stats upon request but from my new knowledge of all of these apps and rooting, i see nothing out of the ordinary. if im being honest, "battery doctor" seems to be a nusiance to my battery. but it often gives me reminders that my phone is draining quickly with 29 apps open that i cant delete with app master or even see on greenify. some of them are..favourite contacts, active apps manager, s planner widget, csc, remote controls, factory mode, alarm and video player. the rest are the ones above like setcpu, greenify etc.
so im asking..what now? ive seen mentioned that getting rid of touchwiz and installing a new ROM like cyanogenmodgod. but what then?
ive no idea how to understand some of this but im fine with following instructions with technical stuff i.e rooting my phone in the first place.
i really hope i can be helped as im really liking my first android experience bar battery life

ill do that later when ive spare time. ill write a little update for now..
tried CM11, simply did not like the UI, i much prefare the stock s4 mini UI (touchwiz?) so ive reverted back. ill be sure to post screenshots of wakelock, battery screen etc.
my signal is rarely above 2 bars if 2 at all..ive changed the settings from LTE to the one that means 3g...hopefully the more stable 2..sometimes full bars saves battery!
heres screenshots of various things.
notice how battery doctor has many aps as being in the backround even though i greenified them AND turned permissions like "always on" to OFF so there isnt a reason why they should be on.
ok..i cant post links until i reach 10 posts so ill add in a space in the link..

If you go to settings > Battery > Battery graph , does it show the phone actually sleeps? (the "awake" bar)
I attached a screenshot , if the bar is compleatly highlighted , this means the phone does not go in sleep.
If this is not the case , i suspect something is wrong with you battery.

nope..the awake bar does have bits missing (being asleep, right?) i seem to be getting acceptable charge times as of late..some games make the phone very warm and do destroy battery % but so did them games on my iphone 4s. this phone isnt brand new..it is almost new..im "happy" with the battery times now but not so much as i expected better times than my 4s but its about the same at best. i may try an OEM battery someday and see if that gives me even a 10% increase.
any advice on charging? took me about 2.5 hours to fully charge..about 1.5 of them hours, i had the phone turned off..the rest was on airplane mode

That indeed means the phone is sleeping.
What kind of Screen on time are you getting ? do you leave bluetooth / 3G / Wifi on all the time ?
3G and especially 4G is a huge battery killer.
EDIT
About the charging , i generally just charge my phone at night functioning as a clock since the battery lasts me a full day.

i have wifi only on. its on most of the day, i turn it off while i sleep or if im out and about with no hotspots about.
i seen on youtube something about a faster touchwiz thats available here..it apparently helps battery life?
also nova launcher may help with battery life too?

Other launchers probably won't help with battery life.
I'd suggest turning off any radio's you don't use and (off course) keep the brightness low. What kind of screen on time are you getting ? (Settings > battery > screen )
