Hello dear friends. I got a D851 G3 on eBay few weeks ago. Just few days using it I discovered the battery life is so terrible. I spend nearly the same time charging as I spend using. It came with 5.0.1
Today I decided to see how long really does my battery last. I charged 100%, turned my data to 2G and put screen brightness at 0%.
I am attaching a picture of my battery usage as at when typing this. With the conditions above, in 3 hours, I'm nearly at 50% battery. Please how bad is this? Is this normal for G3? What can be the problem and how can I solve it. I love the phone but this is giving me concern because charging all the time is jeadacheheadache.
One more thing, it also trips off especially when the battery is low. At 4G it also gets extremely hot, at one time I had to put in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Heeeelppppppp!!!

Basically as title reads. I've been having extreme battery drain. I thought it might have been my battery that was shot, so I bought a new one, as well as a charger. I even had a massive battery (don't know the mAh off the top of my head, and it isn't with me- but it was so large that it came with its own new backing) that also seemed to drain quickly. It seems the original battery would last 2-3 hours with barely any usage (a text or two; checking the time) and with regular usage (googling, reddit, texts) would be an hour. The large battery lasted 3-4 with barely any usage and 1-3 with usage. WiFi is off as well as GPS.. Only apps (besides what regularly runs) running are Handcent, Chrome, clock. That's all.
It also seems to discharge when charging and using my phone at the same time, so I have to leave it alone completely while it charges... And it charges really, really slowly. The large battery took 12 hours to fully charge last time I charged it. (I got a new one yesterday, seems my battery is still dying extremely quickly).
Here is what I am running on my phone.
Here is the new battery I ordered for it that I'm currently using.
I also use this to try to extend my battery life to a normal amount.
I am also waiting for this to come in the mail to help juice up my battery life to get through a day at work.
I bought a charger by RocketFish a while back at Best Buy which is what I used for a while before going to default S3 charger (brand new, I was originally using my S2 charger). Nothing seems to be helping.
So all in all, is my phone shot? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm not sure I want to go out and buy an S5 (especially with Samsung being so closed about bootloaders now). What can I do?
I'm using CM11 on 4.4.4
Well some people have complaints about Cyan's battery life so have you tried taking back to stock?
Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.
Hi, guys! I really need help with this one. I drained my battery, and put the the turned off phone to charge. It charged to a 100%, I left it a bit longer (half an hour,hour more), took it off the charger, turned on and it showed only 90%.
I get 2,5 hours SOT, and 3h screen off but awake. Im on 6.0 now, so I can't root for more specific data.
Battery is 3 months old, bought from the official provider.
This happened twice now. Battery life is really bad as you can imagine with 0 brightness, location off. . Im not sure what to do.
Really appreciate any help :crying:
Hi Guys,
My issue is a little bit weird. My AT&T Note 4 has a battery problem relating to charging. This issue is consistent. One day I charge my phone it charges to 100% without any issue. The battery life is good for 2-3 years old battery 2-4 hours on screen time depending on usage. But the very next day when I try to charge my phone the battery percentage won't go beyond 85%-89% and I have to do a battery pull and it immediately shows 99%-100% and I can disconnect my charger.
I am not complaining about or worried about battery life I know it sucks but I want to know a solution so I don't have to battery pull every other day just to reach 100%.
Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.
Not a weird issue, your battery is going bad. Get a quality replacement.
So this is happening to me too.. I just got this phone over the holidays from ebay. Used/mint condition, no OLED burn or anything.. perfect condtion..except for the battery.. won't charge past 82% I've ordered a new one. But still looking to make sure since I've read a lot on the Internet about LL and MM causing battery drain problems...so..
So these battery stats indicative of an old battery?
I have had the razer phone since Christmas day, the battery life has been amazing up until these past couple of days. I charge the phone to 100% I then take it off charge and i check the game booster and it says 2h 36mins remaining even though I have no apps open and it is on power save mode? I never over charge the phone so i am not sure on what the cause to the problem is. if anyone has the answer or is experiencing the same issue please answer this please
I would also like some insight on this, as I am experiencing the exact issue.
Up until a few days ago, I've had incredible battery performance. I've had the phone about a year and have had 0 issues.
Now all of a sudden the phone wont last half a day. It's draining even while plugged into a "non-fast charger" Of course a fast charger will charge it, but it only lasts a few hours before going dead.
I've factory reset the phone and still the issue exists. Any help would be appreciated.
