I have installed Cyanogenmod in my S4 Mini Duos and everything works great but... my battery is draining so fast! From what I've seen, the major battery drainer is the "Standby Cell", as it takes out from 20 to 30% of all the energy of my phone. My cellphone's battery life was lasting 2 days when using stock Android, now it only lasts 20 hours. One thing to note is that: when in airplane mode, the battery lasts much longer, but I don't want to always keep switching the airplane mode on and off during all the day.
Any possible solutions on this?
Anyone?

Hi I have: HTC Wildfire with CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1
In about the past 2 days my battery life has dropped considerably with the phone not lasting more then 12 hours, as opposed to the previous life of 2-3 days.
I charged it too 100% last night and this morning when I checked it it was at 20%
I have not installed any new apps, my screen usually runs on low brightness and the data connection only running on 2g/Edge and I have changed no settings lately.
I tried a battery stats wipe, no change.
I remember having that problem just after I flashed a new recovery.
It was about 80% before I sleep And when I wake up I find it 55%
I installed Sympfinity kernel and it really improved battery life.
now only 10% (sometimes less) are lost through the night.
Try Sympfinity kernel.

I Flashed CM7.2 RC2 it seems to have fixed the problem.

I advise you to install battery calibration from play store, sometimes after flashing a new rom, battery may be miss-read
tip
the battery life is also affected depending on the time you have automatic update on your phone because if you have updated very often it spends considerably battery not in use so the phone .. hechale a look at this and help us a lot of your battery greetings
Welll i used to have a similar problem on my wildfire,so i downloaded power max and used it on standard mode and used Go power master with autoswtching and other stuff...just before exchanging it for a Nexus, i had the battery to last around 40 hours with 5 hours of browsing, 3 hours of listening to music and 2 hours of gaming with heavy use of whatsapp and texting and 30-40 minutes of calling...previously my battery use to last only 10 hours...hope this will help you...you can also go up to ebay and buy an extended battery for just Rs.960 which is 3000mah...cheaper than the original smaller battery....link to the extended battery http://www.ebay.in/itm/3000MAh-Exte...4-HTC-Wildfire-G8-/140533335447#ht_1453wt_907
Hello guys,
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus running the latest Android 4.2.1 Officialy from Google. I hae bought an original extended battery for it, but the issue is that it seems that it holds less juice than the original one, that came with the phone.
With the default battery, i get around 3 hours of screen on and with the extended one, i barely get 2:40 minutes. Tried this a couple of times.
What's the matter with it ? Do i need to calibrate it somehow ?
I have the same battery and had the same issue. After using it for about a week it started working better. What I suggest is charge it all the way up and then use it until it completely goes dead then fully charge it again. Do this a few times then you should notice the difference which isn't huge but I'm averaging about 4-5 hours more than standard now.

I have been using this batter for over 1 month now.

With Li-ion batteries, this should make no difference what so ever. It should get better over time. From what I've researched, you should never let a li-ion battery fully die. When it hits 20% - 30% fully charge and then don't charge again until you hit 20%. There are only so many charging cycles on a battery.
You might have something constantly running in the background that is eating your battery. Try juice defender, it drastically improved my stand by time.
What i was saying:
The stock battery holds a charge of ~3 hours of screen on time
The extended battery holds a charge that lasts less than 3 hours witch is strange because it haves a bigger capacity.
Is there any way to reset the baattery stats ? Or to reset the battery count ? Something like that ?
The whole "wipe battery stats" thing found in CWM is useless. Confirmed to be by a developer at google.

I see. Anything else i can try ?
So I also run an Moto X pure and love the thing. After Marshmallow dropped for my Sammy s6, I decided to switch back and try it out. I wanted to know how yall's experience has been and if your battery has been noticeably better. I switched to the Moto X Pure for the better battery life as my s6 seemed to only last me half a day of use at work. So how's it going?
I think the battery life is just as awful as it was on Lollipop. Doesn't seem to be any improvement there. That's just my opinion.
Standby battery has definately improved, screen on time has not changed that much
I had better battery life on 5.1.1 Screen on time is worse on 6.0.1
GF is running MM and complaining about battery life compared to LP. I haven't tested it or logged anything, just anecdotal from a heavy screentime and data user.
Hello guys
On my S6 Device idle takes 18% and cell standby takes 16% i think this is too much, can someone help me?
It for sure is a battery drainer... I just have the MM 6.0 on the phone and no apps whatsoever and with it just sitting there on the table with the phone doing nothing in 20 minutes it was down to 79% from being fully charged. I could go all day at work with phone in my pocket and after a 12 hour shift I would be at 93% battery on 5.1.1. I just can't leave my phone plugged in 24/7 because I might have to use it. I am going to install facebook and see what 20 minutes will do to my battery life. Sure enough it went down after install my battery was at 65% from 79% and now its at 45% with less than a half hour of facebook. so I figure its about a percent per minute ratio so my life expectancy is about 100 minutes with 6.0 on a fully charged battery.
Nice improvement for me. I never had much more that 1- 1.5 hrs SOT before getting about 15% battery. Now I see the same SOT time but have 50% battery left.
That's enough to get me through the day now.
I was jonesing to get the S7 as soon as my upgrade is do. Now I'm not so sure.
I'm feeling the same. I'd be loosing the IR blaster if I upgrade to the S7 and it's come in handy too many times to live without. My battery life has made living with the phone a more pleasant experience.
I got stock os with all the fancy stuff disabled.
My battery charges 1% per minute when between (0-85%) after that charging slows down.
It doesnt however fully charge it usually wont go higher than 97%.
Battery drains 1%/h in standby
5%\h listening to offline-music
Today I had 6h 5 min with 3:54 on-screen time ( starting from 93% down to 2%.
About the same for me but I can do a full charge in 45min coming from about 9%
About the same, recent CM builds are better. I'm considering the Nexus ROM

At first i thought the battery life was ok, then i switched to the nexus rom for a while and came back to stuck because i wanted my camera back. There is a huge difference in battery life as far as I'm concerned. Stuck OS burns way more battery when idle but then again it has a lot more bloat :/ so it's to be expected
I get awesome battery life. On rooted stock with third party launcher with various tweaks. Way better than my desire or Moto g or Moto x or nexus 4 ever were.
Agreed, all other roms besides stock get awesome battery life. I've disabled or uninstalled as many apps as possible and the battery still drains unacceptably fast at idle. If we could get a stock rom modified to get the battery life of a custom rom that would make this phone perfect for me.

I consider the battery in mine to be working very well and use ~33.3% every two hours with the screen at full brightness and constant touching for reading. So looks like its about the same.
Standby is ~50% used in 48 hours with wifi on and background apps using the internet.
That's based on the apps I use and whatever they're doing in the background to wake the cpu, use wifi, etc.
Stock rom with the 'fancy stuff' disabled as well.
A few days ago I went to buy a new battery for my s4 mini plus . However my s4 mini plus had the battery of the Ace 4 not the s4 mini one . After buying and installing the new battery for some reason the phone depletes battery faster and after some point it enters deep sleep and stops the battery consumption from 5-7% every 45 minutes to 0 % after 2 hours (data and WiFi off). If I leave the phone with data connection enabled either LTE or WiFi it carries on to deplete the battery 3x as fast no apps running . Before and after the battery change I was using the same apps. Can this be a problem with the battery not being the one the plus edition had but the battery of the s4 mini ?
