I'm on miui with manu 2.0 kernel at the moment, and if i do a normal call the battery drains very quickly ( 1% per minute).
is there another rom or kernel which cosumes less battery or is ist normal?
I doubt stock rom consumes that much....
anyone share his/her experience?
no 1 an idea?
If you're S-OFF you can try a different Radio/RIL combination. You might see some improvements there, otherwise you could try a different ROM altogether and check the battery drainage on those.
Hi
since a few time my arc s is draining battery in airplane mode at night (20-30%). I am using Arconium 3c.
- So I tried to come back to Arconium 2.4 (it was ok before) : the same (20-30%)
- So I tried to turn off the phone and the same : the battery lost about 20% during the night.
The battery drain used to be great in airplane mode (2-3% per night) few months ago when I started using arconium. So I don't think it is because of this rom.
Maybe my battery is bad? Or something else?
How old is the phone
In wich interval you recharg it
Check out the battery usage under settings and look if you have installed any program that uses much energy from ur battery
I think the easiest way is to try the other ROM first. If this problem still occur, maybe you have to check your battery
I also had that problem but with this stay good:
Use this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
Use this Baseband
http://puu.sh/pAgX
Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU
For me is the best option
Well, thank for your answers. So the phone is 6 months old and I don't understand why if I change my ROM or my kernel it would do anything? Because the battery drain occurs even if my phone is off. Is there a way to check is my battery is damaged?
Tonight I will try to remove the battery for the night.
PS: I checked that I have no weird application that is draining battery...
jap check what happens if you put the battery out for a night
but you should even check the other kernel

Well, I am back to Arconium 2.4 (with .562 firmware) so the other kernel would not work correctly as it is for 4.1.B.0.431, would it?
I guess I should try .431 based kernel if I come back to Arconium 3c.
I have tried battery mix to check if there were an app draining my battery when phone is truned on but nothing (appart from system android) seem to consumes much battery.
Ok
well but if you really want to know what i think i would say (not assure) that it depends on the rom cus some time ago i had a2 different phones (galaxy spica and galaxy gio) wich i flashed to spicagenmod and the gio to cm7 and i recognized that the battery usage increased in a huge amount
u say that even if you turn of the phone it seems to be that you get a loss of power in your battery
the spica often crashed and i had to restart it (used many experimental features)and after the restart i had a huge los of batery power....
some roms have problems updating you the current battery status and if you restart it it seems that it had taken much battery
if you really want to safe power you may search for a undervolted kernel
Hope that really finished ur problem =)
Ok I think I understand what you mean about the voltage. ie at 100% the voltage is about 4178mv and now at 41% the voltage is 3775mv (with battery calibration app). So it seems to be not linear.
So I am going to flash kernel as recommended previously. And Do I have to reflash rom and baseband after flashing new kernel?
depends on wheather the kernel works with ur rom
what do you mean? I flash new kernel, reboot phone and if it does not work, I Reflash the rom? Maybe it risks to brick?

I dont think that there is any risk and thats what i meant flash kernel check if it works if not reflash rom =)
Download betterybatterystats and see what is causing the drain, think iridika did a thread a while ago, lemme find it for you
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433309
Check what is causing the drain using that
I dont't think it would work when phoen is turned off..
And I am trying to flash kernel with flash tool and it does not seem to work, it is like I still got the previous kernel... any idea?
did u enter fastboot mode? did u get any error while flashing?
Yes, everything seems to work fine. Maybe I don't know where to check my kernel version.
go to settings..about phone...check about kernel.

Just an FYI
0% on the lithium battery is not 0v it is more like 3v or so... depends on the battery.
if a lithium battery measures 0v it is DEAD.

So I try this app and it appears that com.sonyericsson.android.server.dormant is guilty... about 2500 alarm wake up in 1h. so I used titanium backup to freeze fast dormancy...
But it does not solve my problem about battery drain when phone is turned off

As said earlier full charge the phone remove the battery and leave it out when you would normaly have it off to see if it is the battery or phone.

I recently flashed root66_TMO_T999UVUENC2 on my t999 and i am having terrible problem with deep sleep the battery keeps draining for some reason pretty fast and i was thinking of changing to custom kernel or custom rom itself and see if the problem is rectified any suggestions for kernel / rom main aim is better battery !
You could do that, but it may not help if you don't find the problem.. If you don't see something obvious in the stock battery stats, get better battery stats and find the root of the problem
Hallo,
I'm using CM 12.1 latest build with F4k kernel. But I have problem with quick drain battery. I have 60% battery after 6h, while the screen is off, 3g connection is enabled, sync and GPS turned off.
Could you tell me, which ROM and kernel is the best for battery?
Regards,
uspy
I also have CM12.1 and f4k kernel, my battery life is good, try to change the cpu governor
Hi
I use CM 10.1 Battery life is great i watch youtube at 480p for about 4 hours and battery life dropped 10-20%
CM 10.1.3.3
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_vlSjY0nNrkMlRDOTE5M3FlSWc
I got the all the stuff from this forum which i asked for.

If you get forbidden by any download just download it from Internet Explorer.
Hello. I've recently installed CM 13 on my phone (great ROM btw thx devs). The Android OS drain of the stock ROM has gone away and the performance is much better. It also uses approximately 3%/min when being used with medium load. However, the idle battery drain is atrocious (I believe this also applies to the stock ROM). The phone uses about 5% every hour when connected to 3G (displaying 4~5 bars), Bluetooth and WiFI on. Because of this, the battery life suffers greatly.
So the questions that I have are:
1. What cause this battery drain? Google Play Services? With clean flash, no Gapps, nothing installed doesn't have this drain. So I'm suspecting it's to do with Google Play Services or the background processes being managed incorrectly.
2. Is there a way to fix it? Custom Kernels? Amplify? (I know that you're supposed to clean flash and provide logs to devs, but the thread is more about how to fix it so yeah)
Thank you in advance!!
Battery drain happens mostly from Google Apps and Facebook and Messenger. I uninstalled most of Gapps and Facebook and installed Greenify, PowernNap, Amplify and the battery drain is gone.
