[Q] HOX battery problem

hello m usin CM 10 4.1.2 on my HOX and m having issue with battery my drain horrible last day my use 2 hours of screen on chating on facebookfor 2 hours, 10 min of surfing and my battery died in 5 hrs only so plz suggest me for better rom or suggest me for any other solution.
CM doesn't last as long as stock roms from my experience. 2-3 hours screen on time sounds pretty normal though. This is a BIG power hungry screen.
You can play around with different kernels if you want to try something... Otherwise, stock seems to have the best battery life at the moment.

[Q] Xperia Ion - Abnormal Battery Consumption

hi guys
i just got new Xperia Ion 3 days ago .... to be honest moving from Sony Erricsson C901 to Xperia Ion is amazing
the Mobile is VERY STOCK .... no additional programs or anything ... NIL
however ... it's Heating up
and the battery lasts 6-9 hours with mixed use (wifi 2-3 hours + 15 min voice call+ 30% screen brightness + screen on time = about 2-3 hours as well )
tried with Brevia Engine On and Off
and tried with Sleep timeout 15 sec and 30 sec
people told me Smart phones consume battery massively .... but charging phone 2-3 times a day ... makes it undependable and more or less like home land line ...specially when i'm used to charge my old mobile after using 3G , Music , bluetooth tethering and Camera massively every 2 days at least
so please guys help me ...
i tried to reset the phone and see if it fix the problem , however nothing yet
should i send it back to the dealer , or is this normal or xperia ion
here are some screenshots attached
thanks
Screen time 2-3 hours, then you are experiencing a normal battery life.
With heavy use [considering screen on time at least 2 hours +/-) no one here gets more than 8-10 hours I believe.
Bro. I also face this problem. Hardly I can use my ion for 2-3 hours maximum. So I tried many ways to fix it. The best way I found was flashing CM10 ROM. I can use 8-10 hours in CM10. I think you can solve it by flashing CM10. Just an idea. Many people wants to keep there warranty. If you are one of them I don't recommend it. Sorry for my bad English.
My Ion had terrible battery life when it was new. It gets much better after about 2 weeks. It takes a while for the phone to learn the battery's charge cycle.

From the picture...Screen display consumes too much, then its not the phone defects...Its yourself...
Plus, the latest firmware from sony 6.1.E.3.7 have bad battery management...Flash back to 6.1.E.2.68 and you'll see damn nice battery consmption...
But then again need to get root access...My ion normally minimum around 8 Hrs for the batt to go 0%
what can i do more !!
Screen brightness is around 20% ... and the ugly thing in this phone i donno why SONY wanted to save 2-3 dollars and don't put a light sensor on it !! -_- *DUH* Capitalism !
anyway ... i'm trying couple of applications ...one of them is "2x battery" is giving me decent result till now (4-5 hours) ...you should try it
and is there any updates soon to jelly beans ? maybe they fix the power management problem ?
and how can i flash back ? suggest some threads ?
thanks
There is an ALS (ambient light sensor) on the phone. Also it is always on. Just hold phone under a light and then cover the top of phone above screen and you will see changes.

Sv: [Q] Xperia Ion - Abnormal Battery Consumption
3 hours of screen time is okay... I thought this was about standby consumption
Sent from my Xperia S using xda app-developers app
honestly this mobile is rubbish to the ground and this is the second time with sony mobile
the phone status deteriorated so fast that now i only have barely 2 hours screen time (20% brightness which is barely watchable) , and nothing is running in the back except avast anti virus , and battery manger
the phone gets SO HOT reaching sometime to 58 c and usually 45-48 c !!!
the normal slow charger (Laptop-USB / car-charger) is extremely slow to the level that after 7 hours of charging you get only around 60% charged , and if you are using the phone while charging the battery meter goes DOWN while charging and the phone gets very hot !!!
i'll return the phone after a month of use , but my only regret is that i listened to people here who don't even have the mobile or bother to read the details about the problem -_-
There is something wrong with ur phone. Mine doesnt get hot..
I´m using it in my car, too. I charge it and use it to navigate me around, and there is no battary drain.
Does the phone overheat? My xperia s did overheat couple of times and wasn't charging even though it was.connected.
I rebooted and it solved. I had to let the phone to be cooled down before running it again.
U could try rebooting. Try hard reset if noting works.

Car-charge and laptop-usb charge WILL charge your phone,but it will charge SLOW AS HELL...you got it?
If you want fast charge,go find a plug and charge your phone

how come there is difference between the wall usb charger and usb charger ? i mean practically the CABLE itself will not transfer more than 5 volts / 0.5 Amps ??
and beside this ,how come the charger can NOT cope with the battery consumption of the phone itself on GPS or 3G service ?!!!
are you serious !

[Q] Help Battery Life

So i got myself the new note 10.1 2014 Editon .. the first thing that shocked me is the very poor battery life ... its half as much as my old note 10.1 ...
i got down to 23 % in 4,5 hours [screen on] ... just browsing the web ...
with my old one I still get about 8 hours same percentage [screen on] [ dropping 10 % per hour ] ... while the 2014 one is dropping like 20 % an hour ...
the new note burns twice as much battery when screen is on .. is that normal ? i thought battery would improve not divided by 2 -.- ...
I already disabled all the bloatware I could without root ... hell im thinking about returning that thing.. since i need 3-4 hours to charge to get around 4 hours screen time ... its not enough for me...
sure its more responsive and has better screen ... but really i have battery save mode turned on and only about 20 % screen brightness ... i read something about 9 hours battery time surfing web ... like the old one can handle so i believed that ....
any advice what could cause this ? t i use low screen brightness and mostly surfing the web / youtube / facebook and stuff......
if there is anyone who had the old note and the new note like me i would like to hear what you experienced in terms of battery life ...
You propably should return your tab. I'm getting usually 9 -10 hours on screen on time sometimes even 11.
S4 9505 / Note 10.1 2014 P600
Hit the Thanks button if I was able to help you
Mine was the same for the first few weeks, could stretch it out to 7 hours max. Those first few weeks I was constantly faffing and changing the look and not even really using it for anything useful. I had read not to leave it plugged in too long after 100% was achieved, then one night I had to leave it overnight to charge. At this time I also installed nova.
Next battery life was nearly 12 hours, with 4 hours HD films streamed off my NAS, 2 hours 3d gaming, and the rest on chrome.
Now I get between 9 and 12 hours consistently. All of this without power saving, TBH I dont find power saving saves much power on this, made a 5-10% difference on my note 2 but with this keeping the screen brightness down is key. I keep mine low to lowest most of the time, only turning it up in the day. I have also started using reading mode on chrome and email which is what I use the most, looks a touch odd at first but you soon get used to it.
Give it a long charge after running it down to 5%.

ok thx i will try that ... i also use reading mode and very low screen brightness .. about 15-20 & anything higher is too bright indoors... do u think nova launcher impacts battery life ? im getting near 7 hours max. now probably today ... updated my browser ... but still it will be abit less than my odler note ... im used to different screen color since im also usign flux on pc ... I find it really relaxing for the eyes ... but i feel like the new screen is straining my eyes more than the old one .. even though reading mode is on ... its strange isnt it supposed to be easier for the eyes when screen resolution is higher ? maybe it needs time to get used to it ?
ok guys found the culprit ... i was watching some flash videos and now noticed they cause this insane battery drain ... 10 % in 10 minutes .... thats really strange though because on my old note 10.1 that isnst the case ... I also noticed mediaserver is running at the time flash runs .... maybe thats normal ...... without playing flash videos via the browser i now get about the same battery life as my old note .... guess i need to avoid playing flash on browser then .... ;( .. or do u guys have any idea ?
Restrict (don't throw it off completely) using flash, and if videos you watch are long just download them (I recommend Videoder). Try throwing it off (assuming it's an app) using a root app (I'M NOT SURE ABOUT DOING IT SO TRY SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR INFO)

Battery issues

Hey guys , i recently aquired an LG G4 H815 powered by android MARSHMELLOW V20g , the battery drains really fast and i didn't figure out why until i realized that the screen uses up to 68 % of battery power , though i reduce brightness to the minimum , nothing really changes , please help
That is normal. The screen using that much battery is a good sign. The more the better.
On max brightness, the screen uses a fixed amount of energy so if you're using 62% on the screen, it must mean other apps aren't misbehaving.
Tap on the screen and check the screen on time. It should be between 3 hours and 5 hours. If so, everything looks good.
Yes i agree , it's definitely logical , but is there anything i can do to reduce battery draining even a little

Even non root try to disable all non used apps disable sync and gps.
Also shut of data or wifi when not used, Use facebook on the web not the app major batt hog
my g4 normally got me only 2 hours of SOT which is horrible.
It's really frustrating man , and i absolutely deactivated unused apps as well as mobile data , sync and gps , actually everything's off , i made sure of it when i did a hard reset , it's abnormal as a friend of mine has a similar phone , but he hasn't the stupid problem , is there any version i can trust to flash , i have a 6.0 v20g
c'mon guys i'm really out of options
update guys , it's about the phone's battery , when i stopped using the usual charger which was really fast , about 1000 ma according to ampere app , and switched to another slower one , after a few days the battery somehow went to normal , can anybody explain why , was the battery just getting used to the slower charger ?
You should buy a spare battery with it's charger. The G4 battery is not that good even with optimal configuration.
Enviado desde mi LG-H990 mediante Tapatalk
Yeah, well... it's always better to use the manufacturer accessories, in this case the charger. Yeah, we know that Marshmallow uses more battery than Lollipop but the difference is not that obvious if you use the right charger. I've tested and Marshmallow cuts my SOT with roughly 40-50 mins...
That's the real problem , it's when you don't have the original charger , or let's just say you have no idea if the seller would give it to you as the phone was being used , you definitely have to figure out how to pick the appropriate one , any ideas ?
c'mon guys there must be a way to distinguish between a fake and an original charger , for example through monitoring amperage or may be voltage , i just need some clue , anything !

Battery problems

Hi.
I've been using Mi 6 for 14 months and I recently noticed a huge drop in battery life after updating from MIUI 10 Beta to Stable. Few days ago I changed my ROM to OmniROM because I thought my battery would last long with less Android System battery usage, but in the end it was still the same. My battery used to last a whole day with normal use and occasional game playing, today for example I lost 50% in three hours. On AccuBattery I supposedly have 2400mAh instead of 3350, although the number kept changing for a few days so I'm not really surprised, I don't believe the app is really that accurate.
My question here is if anyone has/had the same problem and what could I try to fix this, except buying a new battery.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend to completely drain the battery to the point of not being able to turn on even for a few moments, then charge up to 100% for 1-2 times, i had done this to my S5 which had a very crappy battery (it was in use for like 3-4 years with the same battery) and after that it worked like a charm, but, this is a big but, i dont know if this is going to work in this situation.

Batteries shouldn't be drained to zero.. Doesn't do them well...
But actually I'm having similar problems lately. It drains 10% or more over night in airplane mode.. In on RR OS..

I switched to Lineage OS and the battery does last longer now, I even removed the AccuBattery app. Just in case I ordered another battery and I might even replace it if the battery use turns out to be the same or even worse than before.
