Hello guys i dont know if it is posted already but , im having problems with my battery life im using my phone for a couple of weeks now. I tried to factory reset my phone but still, i also installed greenify to see if it is because of an app but NO. Basically i find that sometimes the battery peecentage drains so rapidly without me doing anything on the phone with my brightness at 0% and all other stuff like gps, sync etc turned off. Also another big problem is that the battery percentages skips i may be using my phone at 88% but suddenly it goes down to 84% thats really dissapointing.
I have heard people praise about the battery life of this phone which is one of the reason i bought it but now its not what i expected especially with the skips.
If you guys can help me do anything I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Hello,

Did you do a restore of previous apps or a clean re-install ?

Set GPS on battery saving. Use high accuracy only when required.

I did a clean re install , and i put my location services off since when i noticed the percentage skips and drain
Also i forgot to say that some times when i use the phone for some time say im at 49% then after switching off the screen for some time and coming back later sometimes it says 50 or 51%.

What does GPS say when you go to location.
Regardless of whether its off, ensure it says battery saving and not high accuracy.
Can you post some usage grabs. How much sot/runtime do you get on average, with wifi only, with data only and a mix of the two.

Hi guys. I'm a bit concerned about battery life, I'm not sure whether I'm on the average or the battery drain crowd.

AVS is off but I've just installed the zip that turns it on at boot, so should see some improvement
What do you guys think? Reasonable power consumption as it is? Sent a few texts, went on internet (3G) a few times and made a couple of short calls.

I think that's alright. I normally get home from work after about 12hrs on battery at about 75-80% with some light browsing, sms and a few calls made.
If I'm completely on standby I lose around 1% per hour!
Cheers 00droid! On standby I loose very little too so I guess it's doing alright!
Wow that's so much better than mine...I'm just about to flash that kernel so will see how it goes tomorrow.
By the way, what are your settings with regards to wifi/data/screen brightness/syncing etc? Wondering if those could be impacting so drastically on my battery life...
EDIT: Just had a look at mine now, and Display is 72% usage - I've had it on auto - should I just turn it down to a very low brightness? Also, I've been on "All Animations" - will reducing this to "Some Animations" increase it somewhat?
I'm using some animations, screen brightness I've got it set at about 35% which is plenty for me and I turn wifi off unless I'm at home surfing on the net. I've also got a few hours between weather updating, then facebook, twitter and all other syncs I do manually when I open the program
I'm doing much better with my battery today turns out I had everything set to drain as much battery as possible - after 6hours of sending a few texts and downloading a couple of apps, but mostly standby, I'm on 93% - best I've ever got
@kharekatoh do you have mobile data on all the time?
i cant eek more than 8 hours out of a full battery !!!! yours is amaing

Yup it's on constantly unless wifi is turned on
8 Hours is pretty bad... must be some app sucking all the power maybe
I been using viper rom for a while now but the rom is eating my battary up. i loose 10% in 5 minutes of browsing or listening to music. Best rom out in my opinion but the battary drainage is becoming an issue. I wiped battary stats and recharged while phone is off and problem persist. i lowered clock speeds and adjusted profiles while screen is off but helped very little.
any suggestions?

Might be a specific app or something. Post a screenshot of your battery graph
I'm not experiencing unexpected battery drain on Viper. I'm betting you have an app or setting wreaking havoc. Did you restore Apps and App data from TB? That could be a cause. It could also be an App that's not playing nice with the ROM. Run some battery and cpu apps that may help you nail the rogue down. You could also try a full wipe and re-flash, then install your apps fresh from the market. Appbak from the market can help make this process easier.
I have used TB to restore apps...i would hate to reflash and restore apps the long way but so far this is the best rom out. thanks!

Im running viperrom as well and it actually seems like my battery lasts forever but its just reporting wrong. the other night I got LOS around 50% and when I rebooted the phone it came back on at 9%, today same thing happened, was above 70, rebooted and was in the 40's... but then once it finally does die, charge it for a few minutes and then turn it back on and it magically charged 70% in a few minutes, check this battery graph out...
I need to figure out why my awake time was so much greater than the screen-on time... I did stream pandora but that was less than an hour and it is only shown as 4% of the battery usage.
(taken with the netbooks webcam is why the pictures are so great...)
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Suddenly Play Services is the number one user of battery on my phone, and I cant go more than 7 or 8 hours instead of all day like before.

I use ROM Toolbox to take away some of it's startup privileges, the easiest way though is to turn off location services, but some people aren't willing to do that. And that battery life pictured isn't that bad, you can see that the line is slowly sloping down with no spikes... especially with Bluetooth on. If you don't have it connected to something I suggest turning it off.

Thanks for the suggestion.
This is something that just started, and it appears that it wakelocks about 30% of the total run time of the phone. (20 Minutes out of 60). Definitely not right.
More searching has found a suggestion that this bug has something to do with google hangouts constantly forcing play services to wakelock. Since I don't use hangouts I have frozen it, and I'll see if anything changes.
Update:
After a full charge and 2 hours of runtime with Hangouts frozen I no longer see any hint of the Play services in the battery stats, and I'm down to 96% instead of 92 percent. I know it's not solid proof but it looks promising. compare the screenshots:
With Hangouts unfrozen^

Hey. Not exactly the best place to do this but I've just noticed my battery is spiking down rapidly. I'm not sure what going on. Every ten seconds or so I drop 1% This issue has just started occurring. Any help?

Hello everyone,
I have noticed an absurd drop of the battery level when I'm using my device for usual applications such as Facebook, YouTube, etc...
When it's on 20% approx the battery reaches zero level in less than 10 minutes. This problem started when I have updated my device to the last firmware available (14.6.a.1.236)
I have re flashed the firmware 2 times via flashtool and the results are the same.
It could be an software or a hardware issue?
Thank you for your help :fingers-crossed:

Thank you very much!
My device has 13 months of use.
I use greenify in root mode, but don't have xposed.
I have used a calibration battery app and still have this problem.
May I use xposed in stock ROM without the risk of bricking my device?

Chances are it's a hardware issue and replacing your battery could fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ttery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120
I had the issue where my battery would drop from >70% to 0% suddenly, and replacing my battery has fixed it completely.
Test disabling "Google Services", "Google Play" and "Get More" in accessibility settings. Also test disabling temporarly the Google Account "Search for threaths on the mobile" feature. I was having quite fast battery drain until I did this. It nearly takes twice as long time for each percent to go down. As for your sudden drop check if you got apps that could interfere. Apps that can modify the battery stats.
Btw I had same sudden drop of 5, 10 and even once 30% when screen was off. I thought it was the battery and it was like that for some months until I uninstalled official Facebook app. Now I dont know if the Facebook app was the reason or only reason but after that it has worked flawless for months and continues to.
I tried everything and the results are the same ?.
I think my battery is damaged. Right now my device is plugged to the charger. After 20 minutes of being connected, my device shows only 7%
As you can see my phone Charges pretty fast. It Charges 0 to 100 in one hour. But charge Drains fast also like 4 and half hour screen time. Im on MIUI 13 global.

That's stock MIUI, right? It's possible you have some background stuff going on that drains the battery on a regular basis. If you haven't already, try clearing your Recents view to see if that helps.
I am using Arrow OS 12.0, myself, and ended up enabling the Developer Options selection for 'kills all activities once user leaves them'. This improved my active consumption rate from being ~8-9% per hour to ~6% per hour. You can give it a try, too!

Yes its stock. I couldnt find any app yet, im Still searching and looking for a help.
Oh, maybe you have the same issue that I had.
Check if the MIUI gallery is going crazy in the background. I have yet to figure out what caused that, but it wrecked havoc on my device.
Get something to view your CPU frequency in real time, normally all cores should idle at under 1000MHz with nothing else open in the background (I used CPU Float to check that).
If your little and/or middle cores appear to be clocked high, try to see if force closing the gallery and not reopening it helps. I fixed it for good only after having disabled its storage permission, ended up switching to google photos instead.
Hope this helps.
