Is my battery normal?

Hi,
I used the app Current Widget to manage my phone battery.
I just caliberated the battery an hour ago.
Now, when I turn off the screen and left it on standby for like 20 mins, I got the log report on the battery which said -4000mA (or something like that) every minute.
Is there anyway to improve this?
Thanks
Also, I have rooted my dvice to ARHD 1.2.3. For the last 10 mins, the log files recorded -4268mA constantly

I believe the standby drains aren't reading out correctly.. i have the same issue with battery monitor widget. Imagine with a drain of 4000mA constant the phone would be dead within ~25 minutes (as the capacity is 1800)

Yes, I think so too, hence I uninstall it and use battery monitor widget instead. Now it measures about 100 mA in standby. Is that normal for the One X?

Even 100 i think is a little high, because the companion core should kick in @ standby.. and that's the problem at the moment with the monitoring apps i think.. sometimes battery monitor is reading 4-10mA drain but sometimes as high as 1000+

[Q] N5100 Avg Battery Drain (idling / Standby)

Hi,
I have had this tablet (N5100) for a couple of weeks now and am wondering what the average battery drain for others/you is like?
Mine is draining around 1%/H when idle / sleep (screen off, wifi-on scheduled with juice defender, Mobile Data off, Cell Radio on) with little to no activity.
so after my 4-5 hour sleep it's down by 5-6 %. is it normal, too high/ too low?
my other device samsung galaxy player YP-G70 has much better results, but then that is a totally different hardware altogether!.
Thanks.

1%/h would translate into avg current of 46mA, which is not bad, any higher value would be a reason to investigate. On my device, after some tweaking the standby current as estimated by the Battery Monitor Widget is between 10-40 mA.
Anyway, if you want to find the apps eating your battery during standby, check the better battery stats thread.

Hi,
I have done a few tests of my own.
Overnight my battery drain is 1%(about 9/11 hrs )
I further ran a test in standby for over 24 hrs and
battery drain was only 6%.(from 100% down to 94% )
Good luck
Just want to add ,i get like 2mA in standby,
Also the 6 % drain (in 25 hrs plus some min.)
Include my twitter updates ,weather,market apps update, etc once or so .data off there after.

wow, that's a little depressing! haha
I guess i'll have to go on some app shooting spree and see what i end up with.
As of now i have put google currents to sync only while charging and disabled google now and some location stuff in google maps and that seems to have improved things some bit already.

bad or good battery
I play samsung note 8 without screen off , and screen on just 4 hour
i think note 8 only survive 1%/5 minute
If play 1% just only 2 minute

[Q] Typical idle battery drain on your 8.4?

I was curious what kind of idle battery drain people are getting on their tablets/ROMs?
Measuring with Battery monitor Widget Pro, on my 8.4, running stock TW except for Towelroot, I am averaging -150ma.

Since I have an amper cable I can see the current the tablet draws when its plugged in with screen off / idle and fully charged. mine does this
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-20
so I would say its draws a quick 20 ma every 10 seconds - but since its plugged in it might not be in the deepest sleep setting that it would be when on battery.
anyways I have no problems with it staying at 100% or 99% leaving it off for the whole day unplugged so it has very good power management in my opinion. - just have to keep the wakelock apps in check

I updated from the ng1 build to the latest nk1 build and my idle battery drain is much improved with the exact same setup running. Now down to -40-50 mah.

I have terrible battery drain randomly for no reason and I don't no what is causing the battery to drain so much. I have attached an image is there anyway of seeing what causes this much battery to drain so quick?

You should install better battery stats, available here on XDA, to pinpoint your battery usage.
Looks like there was a really battery draining event that occurred quite suddenly?

I noticed in the screenshot you have might GPS on, there could be an app running in the background abusing GPS or polling it too quickly (look for a blinking / solid white pointer Icon in the top left of the statusbar, this will tell you if something is requesting location).
GPS will drain battery very quickly and should be disabled unless it's needed.

Any benefit to greenify these days?

I haven't been able to root my last few phones so I wasn't able to really use Greenify recently (i mean I know I could use it in non-root mode, but I never cared for that and found that to be kind of buggy)...
With all the battery improvements supposedly implemented as Android has continued to evolve, do you think that Greenify still offers any benefits?
My standby drain is not so good -
According to EXKM My idle drain is somewhere around 3-4%/hour.
According to BBS, so far today out of 5 hours 30 min on battery, I have drained 5.2%/hour, down 28% in total, with almost 3 hours of deep sleep (54%), 1 hour 23 min of screen on (25%), and 1 hour 5 min awake (w Screen off) (20%). The 1 hour 5 min awake seems high to me - I did listen to 15 minutes of music so that would explain 15 minutes of it.
I checked out my partial wakelocks and the highest is ImsSenderRxr.
According to Battery Usage in settings #1 is Screen at 1 hour 23 minutes (that's good it is first), #2 is Google Play Services which has used about half the same amount of battery as the screen, #3 is Ambient Display which has used almost as much as play services.
I'm going to try adding Greenify and see if that does anything beneficial, but figured I would ask the community to see what your mileage has been like with Greenify more recently since it has been awhile since I've used it.

Honestly, I haven't found much of a need for Greenify, aggressive doze, or wakelock blocking apps on 8.0 and above. It might be beneficial to Greenify battery hungry social media apps (especially those related to Facebook), but then you end up with Greenify running constantly in the background. Plus it requests usage permissions, enabling it as a device admin, etc.
Do you have Adaptive Battery enabled? There is a thread in the general section where a few users have reported that their battery life improved after disabling it.

I came here wondering the same. I had Greenify installed for a while but im not sure its really doing much anymore. I just took the lastest OTA update and im gonna roll without Greenify to see if there's a difference. Ill report back in a few days.

I know it's the wrong phone. But I have just bought a Pixel 3a and am introducing myself to its battery usage. I use Greenify on my Galaxy S7 running superman rom. I forgot to reinstall it last time I reinstalled things and I reckon it makes between 20% and 30% improvement.

My idle drain using EX is usually around 2%. What is your charging behavior... overnight and leave with 100% in the morning? I leave mine on the Pixel stand all night. If you are keeping it in your bedroom off-charger, use flip-to-shhh. You should have done that with BBS. If you didn't run BBS again overnight. 100% charged, hot off the charger and flip it upside down. This is just for a proper overnight battery drain test. Second, I would install Accubattery. It is NOT a battery drain app, but rather will eventually zero in on your remaining battery capacity compared with new. It uses several full charging sessions from say above 20% all the way to 100%. After a few full charging sessions it will give you solid information the condition of your battery. Just ruling the battery out here. If Accubattery confirms your battery capacity is well over 90% then you may want to do a fresh install. Sometimes that is the only thing that is going to return the good idle battery drain. Just my .02 cents. Take it for what it's worth. For reference, my battery capacity started at 106% new and is now at 94%. Cheers!

how to increase lifespan of worn out battery?

Ok guys,
SOT was just around 5h 30 min so I suppose battery is pretty badly worn out.
Probably the phone has been used around 1.5 y and I see date of manfufacture 09/2019.
So I switched to dark mode,enabled power saving,disabled all gestures,switched to fullHD+ res and for sake of battery I'm nor charging with super fast option.
I think I won't even charge at max capacity because accubattery tells me the wear out has smallest value when I charge it at 85 %,so I suppose I will charge it to 85 %.
I will discharge battery at 15 %,never less.
I'm charging with airplane mode ON,because I'm not busy person to need phone while charging.
I can also charge the battery when the phone is OFF and I suppose that is good for battery too.
So dear friends what else I can disable in Android 11 and try to increase it's lifespan?
These are all things which came to my mind from experience.
Phoneinfo is reporting under USAGE HISTORY when I tap on it few times health of only 41 %,but don't think it's accurate.
With other software DevCheck and AccuBattery can't get battery wear level,discharge cycles info.
Now I charged it for first time after buying phone to 80 % (suggested by Accubattery) and this is what I got,dunno if it's accurate or not,but I don't believe that health is 96 %,I wish it is.

Don't discharge past 20% but 30 or 40% is a better cutoff. Charging to 70 or 80% max most times will also help. Li's prefer frequent midrange charging.
These batteries aren't that hard to change out. Just had one fail in my Note 10+. As they age that becomes more likely to happen.
Keep an eye open for rear cover bulging, replace the battery asap if this happens.
The battery sits directly on top of the display and can damage it if it swells.
Erratic fast charging and diminished capacity are also signs of a Li battery failure and with the hump there's no doubt.

oh okay,thank you.
Look at the accubattery readings,doesn't look that bad,huh?
How and when will I know that battery is for replacement?
I still can't find software which would report me wear cycles.

Accubattery... this is it's least useful feature.
Compare your SOT now to when it was new.
It's way more than a 4% drop in capacity.
In reality it's more like 60% or so! It depends of course on how much it's current draw is now and if it's about what it's usage was when new*.
It may also be the phone as it maybe incapable of actual ma measurement and only estimates it bases on battery voltage drop.
*my 10+ is getting around 10 hours SOT but with some battery hogs it could easily fall to 6 hrs SOT with a new battery.

Great deal. You did good, the 10+ is a great phone
It still running on Pie?
The SOT runtime is very subjective depending how well optimized it is. If it's running warm* while surfing the web with screen brightness at 40%, it's not optimized and probably using more battery than it has too.
*ambient temp around 72°F but the phone is noticeably warm.

Great app for getting most of of your battery with some great performance tweaks as well. Difference is very noticeable on my device and premium is very reasonable.
Also recommend tasker. I have it set so my NFC and mobile data are automatically of when at home and automatically turned on (with WiFi off) when WiFi disconnects. Also GPS off at all times unless Google maps is open. These made all made a huge difference for me. Reckon combined they at least doubled my battery life per charge.
