Hey
I bought this battery a few months back. For a week it was great, now it constantly loses 5% every ten minutes. Any one else had this problem? Or does anyone have any advice on this? It doesn't matter what rom I use it is always the same.
Should I try to let it drain completely and give it a full charge?
Any info from anyone would be great. Thanks.
have you checked for powersucking app usage?
Ha I never knew about power sucking app usage before. Could you recommend an app I could use to check out what's eating all the juice? Should have thought of this myself but thanks for the advice.
Better battery stats

Before you do that...which is more advanced...
Download CPU spy. It's free in the market (yes, market).
Open it up. Options>reset values and immediately turn your screen off.
Wait 10-15 minutes.
You should see a maximum of 30seconds in any slot other than deep sleep.
If you're at like 5 minutes you've got problems.
Better battery stats will come into play in diagnosing said problems.

Cool just doing that now, reset the values and will wait for 15 minutes. I will post results I get. Thanks for the help with this.
Hey, screenshot attached of what I got. Should I run better battery stats now?
Check out this image I took. Android OS takes up a lot of battery and uses cpu active for nearly 4 hours...
How do i find out what is draining the battery?

Install GSam (don't forget to remove this later, it drained my battery itself) or buy Better Batter Stats.
See if you have wakelocks. If you have, some apps are preventing phone from going into deep sleep.

Go to BBS-> Click "Other" and check Kernel Wakelocks, Partial Wakelocks, Processes etc. to see what eats up your battery.

OK thanks Will do.
One more thing. Is it safe to have BBS running all the time? Will that drain my battery fast?
Yep. I have it running. GSam drained my battery, this didn't.
I use BBS and haven't uninstalled it once for many many months. It doesn't drain much battery life, so it's OK to have!
If you want, you can post your findings here and maybe someone can help you identify what problems you're having.
Hey guys i have been facing a problem with battery draining recently and also slow charging. When my phone is Idle i can lose up to 30% overnight(also battery draining fast with light using). I even factory reseted. Nothing fixed. Second Problem is slow charging. I calibrated the battery with an app and used a new charger and it takes 3 hours to charge. Isnt that still a lot time?Before it took like 10 hours from 4% to 100.
In Battery usage when im not using phone there is 51% "phone is idle" and 14% is "Mobile waiting"(cant post pic-new member) Any solutions? Why my battery is draining like crazy when Idle? Thanks in Advance.
Check also the USB cable. I had the same problem of slow charging and since the cable is crimped and not soldered it becomes "inefficient" (but still works) after some time.
About the battery life maybe it's going to die...

id check in battery settings and see whats using it first
your screen should be number 1 sitting anywhere from say 35 40 % or higher
you want your screen percentage as high as possible
which means apps and services arent using as much.
mine sits around 65 % screen usage with android and chrome being next highest on my device which is ok cause im always on chrome.
now for the slow charging try diffrent cables and chargers and check to see if any damage or debris in usb port
all this unles the battery is truly going bad and just cant charge and or hold charge anymore

As i said when my phone is dle, 51% of battery is taken from the "phone idle" and 14% from "cell standby" Anything you think can cause that?

Standby is time without signal if im not mistaken.
Next would be like trying wakelock detector or better batter stats to check ure wake locks cause sound like phones not going to sleep at all

Yea thats a lot. Wakelock detect can work without root on some decices. Install the lite edition and foolow the instrucs in th3 app. I have done it in a while but its a few adb commands i think. Nothin to bad to set up no root needed

Thanks i will try. But shouldn't the problem have been fixed after i factory reseted the phone? Does it matter if i factory reset from phone settings? I will let you know what happens after my phone charges.

Other thing i do is boot into safe mode and leave it there for a while. A day or two and thattll tel you if its in the system or a after market app. Then one by one reenable all your apps. But i prefer wakelock. How old is ypur battery and ure charging habbits

I will try to leave it in safe mode while im sleeping. If it still draining i will try to use the wakelock detector. My battery also is about 1.5 years old and i used to charge maybe once every 2 days. Now SOT is maybe 1-1.30 hours lol its draining like crazy when im not using it. Also it bootlooped once and got a motherboard replacement some months ago. I really need to find what is causing that. Ive tried everything like factory reset, wipe apps data, leave the phone in plane mode while sleeping.. Nothing fixed it.

Id try all that but sounds like time for a new battery. Theyre less than 10 dollars. And thats almost as old as mine mines about to that point but charges really fast and inget about 1.8 sot. I know mines the batttwry cause i use it in various phones and all about the same but im rooted debloated and already running all my optimizations

Hi ... I have a question about bn31 battery ... how do I know if the battery life is still good?
Using the multimeter, it marks 4.20v ... it means that this good or I need to change? the cell phone is not lasting for 6hrs of use and the battery is gone. Would you like to know if it's really the battery or have something else with the phone?
Use AIDA64 app to check battery health
Hi. Thanks for informativo. But i want anything more physical...no app...i don't believe much in the app's :good:

Used AccuBattery and then use your phone as normal and let it charge for 4-5 times, then you will get the estimate battery health left from your phone. Screenshot is from my Mi A2.
You know it's good if it doesn't look like this:
Late reply.
I'm using AccuBattery App since March 2019 and its working very well for My MiA1. I trust it after cross-checking with alternate indicators.
Most important is the time spent in Deep Sleep. If you get zero or small percentage of time in this mode even after overnight inactivity, your mobile has background apps that are consuming battery.
I have been using Greenify App for many years and it helps cleaning up. I think it's a necessary App.
Try the following:
Shut down the phone. Reboot from Cold.
Put the Battery Saver ON w/o doing any other app launch.
Do the same thing first, after every Charging.
Every morning, I check the Deep Sleep. I do get additional ~6hrs (same as your sleep time). The average discharge rate falls to 1 to 1.5%/h.
AccuBattery does help, working consistently for last 8 months.
Hi all, I've just bought a refurbished s21 fe and was a bit surprised to see that it uses about 1% of battery every 4 - 5 minutes with the screen on. So the battery only lasts about 8 1/2 hours of mixed use screen time.
I wanted to ask if this was normal for this phone or do I have a poor battery? AccuBattery says that battery health is 95%
If it's running warm or hot it's not the battery that's the issue... yet.
Find the power hogs; either eliminate them or tone them down. Keep display brightness at 50% or lower.
Should have said it's a sd888 version and not using 5g
Phone doesn't get very warm

What the actual current drain?
If it's constantly drawing 400-500+ milliamps at idle it going to suck the battery down fast.
Currently averaging 295mA/h but battery has just been charged. I'll post again once battery is drained.

That's reasonable. If the battery has gotten to 80% of it's original capacity it's reached the end of its usable service life and should be replaced.
It's not a big deal... unless you don't replace it and it fails which can damage or destroy the device. Any battery swelling is a failure.
In a heavily used device the battery will last 1-3 years with 2 years being the average.
Thanks. Accubattery app says that battery capacity is 95% so it should have plenty of life in it yet, if that figure is to be believed.
Just checked today's figures. it's using just under 500 mAh with screen on and 85 mAh with screen off. This thing is seriously power hungry.

85 mAh is very excessive if AOD is set to tap on.
Google backup and cloud apps are prime suspects.
My apologies, I think I read it wrong. Just checked and it now says 120 mAh used in 5h screen off, so just 24mA per hour. The app reports a bit strangely.

That's a good result if cell and data services a on.
So it's somethings that are running with the display on that are chewing into the SOT.

What's the actual usage for SOT and for screen off? Accubattery history is very useful to monitor gross usage and establish a baseline.
Example, it's getting about 11%@hr SOT now. That's normal for this N10+ with a battery that's reached the end of its service life (approx 3200mAh). With a new battery those stats would be about 6-8% instead if using mostly Brave browser over 3 hour, 13 minute period.

What do you mean the actual usage of for ? Can you explain more?
While you see the screenshot you see a normal battery life ?
Start by turning off Global power management, it never worked right. Then go after the power hogs on an individual, case by case basis.
Set power to Optimized and try these power management settings:
Now go power hog hunting...
Uninstall the trashware. Stoiximan and all social media, sales apps. They are using a lot of resources. Login to them usingy a secure browser like Brave instead.
Google play Services and its dependencies Playstore, Gmail and Backup Transport can suck a lot of battery even when the phone is sleeping.
I normally temporarily disable Google play Services unless I need to use Gmail. I don't use Google (except gmail) or Samsung cloud anything so all cloud system apps are disabled.
Google Framework and Quick Search box are always disabled. The parasite Bixby never runs, always disabled.
A logging firewall can show you which apps are accessing the internet (and using power) when they should be at complete idle in spite of the app settings.
Galaxy Battery Tracker is a useful tool:
Set AOD to tap on. The power consumption when sleeping should be >.5% @hr, if higher something is running in the background. Likely Google backup Transport.
Use Package Disabler or abd edits to block apps that can't be dealt with using their settings or can't be uninstalled. I package disable about 70.
Be very careful what you disable; target only the power hogs and totally worthless apps like Digital Wellbeing. Dependencies... don't go too nuts or you'll destroy the functionality of the UI. Leave the many smaller Samsung system apps alone except for -known- bloatware you don't use. Try to know what you're disabling does and its dependencies if any. Do Not use other people's shotgun lists, create your own based on your requirements. This takes a while

Looking at Accubattery history.
It shows say 30% used. If it shows SOT to be say 3 hours then it's getting about 10%@hr SOT.
After a while doing this becomes second nature.
Can be used to easily see how much was used when sleeping overnight too (give some charge then turn off display for the night, see how much was used in the morning).
