hi
i have no prolem with my p3300 until 4 days ago!!! suddenly my device use 70% of battry in 1 day! i try soft reset, but not solved! also cpu goes to 36santi grad! but no process in task manager.also i try airscanner antivirus! and no virus ...
i use artemis tuch 3
please help me
Hi,
I am having similar problems since I installed Black and Blue 4.3.
Phone appears to discharge twice as fast. However, sometimes a soft reset seems to increase the battery again!!
I am going to try a hard reset to see if that fixes it. I have also ordered a new battery.
Anybody else had this and more importantly did you find a solution.
Regards
same here on orbit.all started 1 week ago.the phone is 8 months old.I can't believe the battery is gone so fast.
same here
same here battery life is crap
even with obly a few calls
whats up? is it the rom?
Okay,
A number of us with the same problem.
Can you all confirm what model you have and what ROM you are running. Also any new apps you have installed at the start of the battery drain. I will kick off
T-Mobile MDA Compact UK model.
Tom Condon's Black and Blue 4.3 ROM.
Only new software is AC S2U2 latest version.
Regards
htc p3300
artemis touch 3.0
no new software
bluetooth and wi-fi is off
no program running in task manager
but when i put my device near headset,i can hear some sound like TEGH TEGH!!!! every 1~3 sec.
i know it will solve by install new rom,but i want to find main problem. today i turn on then turn off my all units(bluetooth,wi-fi,camera ...) i must stay and see what will happend
Yeah thats the reason why i sell my Artemis, battery life is just crap. I call allot for work and use my phone allot, my battery is good for just one day . So byebye artemis and welcome HTC Touch .
I had these problems to..
Who I fixed it: I flashed original t-mobile ROM. Finished the install EXT-rom..
Did a hard reset, 2 soft buttons + reset, then green ring button..
Installed the USPL then HTC WM6 ROM, before ext-rom installation a reset. Then did a radio rom update, to latest version.
I can go up to 3 days without needing to recharge with GPRS @ 30 minutes sync..
Hello,same horrible problem.After 4-5 days the upgrade to B&B 4.1 with flo3the power of battery go down very very fast and a working day is impossible.When i bought the Artemis the first thing thats wondering me was the working life, but now...
I kill all task in background,set to maximum power saving, without effect.
Don't want to think that the best solution is to come back at wm6 standard.
P3300
WM6 5.2.1620
B&B 4.1
Flo3
SDHC support with 4GB card
DualSim 15th generation
I recently read a thread - either here or at ppc-welt.de - where some people found out that the gsm unit consumes a lot more power when you have a cooked ROM. When they put their Artemis next to some speakers the got that strange buzzing noise that you usually get when someone calls or you receive a message.
That sound in the speakers was there a lot more often than usually, when they switched back to the official ROMs the problem disappered. If I can find it again I will post a link. I haven't had any problems with my battery yet using Touch 2.1 WWE, only after a fresh upgrade pdas seem to consume a lot more power for a few days and get back to normal then.

what a pity because installing betterystatus (or configuring it properly if you had it already) would probably solve all that problems.
most (if not ALL) roms come with batterystatus... and sometimes it seems to misconfigure itself and overclock your CPU very much, which ofc leads to fast battery discharge. configure batterystatus to 201mhz and problem solved (or even lower if you dont need uber speed mobile, but loads of battery)
my p3300 battery lasts 2-3 days, doing some calls, using bluetooth for sync, listening to some mp3 while in the underground and using tomtom to find a street 15 minutes. nearly 4 days if totally on standby
Hi,
I have reinstalled my phone using the T-Mobile ROM.
I will let you know if that sorts the battery problems.
Regards
I had this problem after installing the htc official rom. I installed back the touch rom from the forum and everything is ok now. Tha battery last me again 4 days with mixed regular use.
Hi,
Tried the T-Mobile ROM and whilst under general use the battery drain is slightly reduced as soon as I ran Tom Tom it dropped by about 30% in 20 minutes. When I first got the device I could run Tom Tom for about 4hours before the battery died.
I have ordered a new battery so will see how that goes.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to pinpoint the problem.
Regards
my mobile service provider found problem with their GPRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just install this software and disable GPRS
just 23% battery used in 20hour!
but i dont have any program that automaticly connect to internet! and also always i keep my quickGPS up to date by active sync ....
please test this and DISABLE your GPRS and see what happend!! is it our problem or another ... ?
Hi,
Disabling your GPRS may fix the problem but it should not affect the battery this way.
I have just put in a new battery and it is charging just now.
Will update how the battery drain is with the new battery.
Regards
Hi,
Did a quick test running Tom Tom and battery usage is back to normal with the new battery fitted. Obviously the old battery was on the way out.
Regards
but my device is 1.5 month old !!! and i think ...

mine is over a year old now... it lasts about a day, mainly caus i spend all day on t'internet using GPRS
cant say i've noticed the battery get worse since i bought it.
who know how much temperature affect on battry life ?
it seems when i put my device in a hot place,3.5 day working decrease to just 2 day!
Hi,
after updating my arc to 2.3.3 i´ve a problem with my battery. the arc is running very well but there´s a big jump from 20% to 1% in just one minute. is there a chance to recalibrate my battery?
i´ve tried three times to let the phone shut down and reload but the problem still exists.
what can i do?
Try turning the phone off and removing the battery and re-inserting.
This seemed to sort the same issue I had (30% > 1% then shutdown).
so after removing the battery the phone must be without for some time?
It seems that battery drain is one of the most common issues to xperia Arc. I just bought this sexy one about last week and also encountered this problem. After doing some soul-searching and experiences, here are the key factors that help u guys alot, bcoz it works for me:
+ You don't need to get your phone rooted as the other recommended, all you need to do is reflashing your rom to the generic one. I'd recommend the O2 generic rom and Global generic rom. Bcoz they don't have rubbish software (bloat ware)running in system background and consuming your battery like hell.
+ Turn of 3g, wifi, bluetooth and location services, only turn them on whenever you need internet access. You could add the power status widget up to manage them easier.
+ The battery itself will improve day by day, it might need a week from the time you bought the phone to have its maximum capacity (it's true)
So, with my light-weight use a day, i normally get my phone worked up at least 2 days without recharging
P.S: sorry if my english get you guys confused :|
[Q] "This app is using a lot of battery" notifications for Spotify on G3 Lollipop
I am using Spotify on LG G3 with Lollipop update installed (Build number: LRX21R.A1421650137, Software version: V20h-EUR-XX) and I keep getting a notification from "Android System" that "This app is using a lot of battery", asking me whether I want to close it (see attachment).
I don't get this notification for any other apps (even the ones that use a lot of battery), and while Spotify does seem to use too much battery, it is not significantly more than other apps (at least as far as I can see).
I am all in on Spotify, so even if it's true, I would like to disable this notification, but because it is a system notification, I can't turn it off, but it pops up ALL THE TIME, and is driving me mad.
Has anyone experienced similar issues, or know how I make the notification go away permanently?
There also seems to be a G3-specific Reddit thread about this issue (I can't post the link, because I am a new user.)
Same stuff is happening to me. I think it's just the amount of batt Spotify consumes. I noticed is draining far more batt than PowerAmp for example. Hope they improve the app.

There is nothing to improve, Spotify accesses the network to load your music. This uses more energy than Poweramp could use, no wonder! Still the power consumption is nothing compared to the screen or whatever.
Everything is fine with that and the problem is just this useless notification. I also did not find a solution by now. Interesting thing is that I have a LG G3 too, but I can't imagine this to be device specific. Isn't that a lollipop "feature"?

I don't think this is a fair assessment of the problem. Other music player apps which conceivably have the same type of usage, e.g. Google Play streaming which I also tried out, certainly didn't cause this warning. In fact, no other app of any type on my phone causes this problem, some of which use more battery than Spotify.
The warning that appears from the Android OS seems to based on real battery statistics gathered by the OS. If I click on the nofitication, it takes me to the battery up that is built in to Lollipop, which shows battery usage percentages for each running app. Spotify is indeed very high up on the list, and based on these statistics seem to cause the battery to detoriorate faster than normal.
The way I see that there is one of three possibilities:
Spotify, for some unknown reason, uses much more battery than it should, e.g. there is a long thread on Spotify community about Android and massive battery drain. This seems to be anecdotally related to "keep awake" and/or SD card. On pre-Lollipop versions of Android, there was no system-level battery usage statistics so people could not point a definite finger to the problem, but with Lollipop the system can for the first time record and notify this higher-than-normal battery usage.
Spotify battery usage is within normal limits and there is a bug in Android battery usage notification/statistics that is causing this notification to show up incorrectly.
Sptofiy battery usage is within normal limits, there is no bug in Adroid battery usage notifications, but in LG G3 Lollipop ROM, LG messed something up in Android which means the notification shows up incorrectly.
It has to be one of these three issues, anything else is not a possibility. Regardless of which one it is (hopefully whoever caused the problem will acknowledge and fix it eventually), it drives me mad that this notification keeps popping up every time I use Spotify and there is no way for me to disable it, because it is a system level notification.
I believe it is ultimately a flaw in Android OS or LG ROM that there is no way to take note of and turn off this notification, even if it is valid.
What is strange is that I have not seen this issue reported for other Lollipop devices, e.g. Nexus 5/6. It seems to be G3-specific at the moment. As I mentioned before, there is a G3-specific Reddit thread about it as well, which I can't paste the link to at the moment (nor can I post the link to Spotify Android battery drain thread...)

==============
...it's still the memory bug, I quote; "It seems one of the bugs that plagued Android 5.0 Lollipop is still haunting some users who recently updated to Android 5.1 Lollipop, the first major update to Android Lollipop.
Some users have reported a memory leak issue in the Android 5.1 update that causes apps to crash and even fills device's memory." (gadgetsndtv.com)
Sorry but I agree with rikoe on this one. if this is an Android 5.0 issue, I would have seen the same alert on other applications (I use like 40) none of them are showing up this alert, only Spotify.
Then I tested it about batt consumption. While POWERAMP uses 5%-6% for 1.2 hour of music playing, Spotify uses 10%11% (playing only saved songs and not using 3g or 4g at ALL, only 2G with streaming disabled)
Spotify needs to improve the app.
I see this notification when using TuneIn Radio Pro, which suggests its not a Spotify specific issue.
Naturally TuneIn Radio does use a lot of battery whilst streaming over 3G / 4G, especially if I'm also playing that stream at high volume through the phones speakers. The same I assume is true with Spotify.
I find this notification to be very irritating. Whilst this function might have limited uses in identifying rogue apps which are have significant battery drain, I am fully aware that in this instance my chosen use of my phone will result in faster than normal battery usage. I don't need a notification constantly alerting me to this, especially a notification in the style of Lollipop notifications, which even after seeing this issue for several weeks I still automatically assume to be a genuine notification (FB, Whatsapp etc) rather than an annoying system warning which I can't disable.
My best guess (based on this not being reported for any other device, LG or not) would be that this is an option built in to Lollipop which LG have either chosen to enable and/or set the threshold for activation too low. If LG insist on having this sort of option it needs to either be tucked away in the Battery Settings section, to be viewed at will, or it needs further functionality to allow me to 'approve' TuneIn Radio, Spotify or any other high battery usage app.
LG do seem to like to baby their users, whether that be through this particular issue, constant volume warnings or telling me to unplug my fully charged phone to save power. I don't like it and it isn't improving their chances of my next phone being another LG.
Let's hope they fix this quietly with the next update.
I believe, it is in the LG Rom. Because I have been using AOSP for 4 months and I've never had this problem until I updated to LG lollipop rom. Vs985
Another LG G3 user here.
I had this issue on LG stock lollipop, it dissapeared when I installed Cloudy 2.1. Yesterday I upgraded to Cloudy 2.2 and the problem reappeared.
I am now trying another lock screen (echo) to see if it dissapears.
Also happens with Spotify on the LG G Flex 2. Slightly ironic considering it came with Spotify (or at least the Sprint variant does).
I'm getting this popup for different programs, all are listed as using 0% since last full charge (which I do once per day)
I was just searching this issue for my LG style 2 plus... I have android 6.0.1. Like martenw I get 0 battery usage since last charge, however the app causing me issues is jet audio. So I was really hoping someone has made an xposed module to turn this nuisance alert/warning off...
Hello together first my specs:
Model: Sony Xperia ZL C6503
Android 5.0.2
Build: 10.6.A.0.454
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g8fa3dae [email protected] #1 <- Vanilla Kernel I beliefe
Root: Yes with kingroot following this HowTo Link I now got SUperSU 2.46 installed
Bootloader: Locked - I didnt unlock it and I think the rooting didnt unlock it either
Apps: ~95
I have the following problems:
1. Ever since 4.4.4 my Sony ZL is somewhat laggy. With 4.4.2 I had a really smooth experience but since 4.4.4 its been a dirt road. I am happy that Sony still brings us the newest updates with Andorid 5.0.2 and soon 5.1 but I hate that my user experience drasticly decreased. Not only do games lag since Lolipop, now the UI interface is lagy and my browsers (Dolphin with Jetpack) lags. Its just a big **** up! Its not smooth anymore and it doesnt make fun to wait several seconds (3-5) before apps open or close. I have no longer any task killer, with my last it felt to decrase performance instead of increase.
2. I have a heat issue with the phone somtime it gets really hot really fast.
3. Battery doesn't hold a whole day anymore. Could be casue the phone is 2 years old already but sometimes I have really bad battery life. If I turn on GPS I can forget to use my phone cause battery dies within 3 hours and apps just collapse under the heat.
I have Stammina tunred on and @30% Low Battery kicks in. @15% Battery saver tunrs on.
Battery drops from 12% -> 0% and turns off phone. Sometimes I get to 8% and then 0%
I would like to fix those issues and I need your help and advise. Yesterday I was almost to the point where I threw my ZL out of the window but I decided to give it a last chance with some help of the XDA community. So for my phone you are the last chance otherwise I will throw it out.
My Problem: I dont really want to completly start fresh and install all apps and configure everything again. I have Titanium Backup insallted (but I dont really know how to use it). If I have to completly start fresh I will probably get a new device casue there I will have to do the same legwork anyway. Only if money is thight next month I will stay with the ZL and do it all over again.
So can you guys help me to fix my problems? My biggest problem is the lag issue. I can life with the allright battery life and the heat issue but the lag drives me insane.
Edit:
In the past I already tried to root my phone while I had 4.4.4 but at the time there was no root available yet and some tasks failed. Not sure if that had any impact.
sorry for stating the obvious, but did you reset your device when you updated to 5.0, or anytime when you updated to a newer version of android?
its preferred to factory reset the device after every new installation of a new android version. i also updated mine to 5.0 but didnt felt any lag. however i am facing a play services issue which is rapidly draining my battery. i created the mess(lol) but thats a different issue.
I had a G4 that I rooted earlier this year. It was great. Everything worked perfectly (aside from the battery of course). Then, one day I was about to check out of a hotel and I placed the RFID room key in my pocket next to my phone. As soon as I pulled it out, the phone completely died. I have no idea if this was a random coincidence or not but either way, the phone was dead. I tried to troubleshoot it and found a few sources that said to (in so many words) heat the motherboard for a bit and then restart. I tired that, got the bootloader screen but that was it. I tried a second time at work and unfortunately the heat gun at work was too powerful and I fried the circuitry. So I bought another G4 off ebay that was refurbished. I rooted it just fine but I'm still having issues with it lagging and freezing. I always turn my phone off at night to charge. Here are the things I've noticed.....
-Sometimes when bluetooth is connected to my car, the Play Music app will freeze and won't work properly unless I restart my phone.
-Email and text notifications come though but take forever to receive compared to my previous G4
-Sometimes when typing a message, either in facebook messenger, text, or email, sometimes the keyboard will freeze for a moment before the letters will appear
-Sometimes the phone just lags altogether
I have the brightness set to auto, battery saver at 15%. I'm also running Greenify, Servicely, 3C All in one toolbox, System App safe remover - these are to keep apps off in the background and bloatware removed - although I'm just guessing on all of the settings for these apps. TWRP and SuperSU are installed for the root. I do a backup once every two weeks, and all of my files are stored on an SD card. I had TMobile reset the SIM card (for whatever reason, they wouldn't just give me a new one)
Phone specs are:
Android 6.0
Kernal Version 3.10.84
Software Version H81120x
Any ideas on why this phone would be lagging and freezing compared to the other G4 I had?
