4th battery drain - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is on cm13.

Still no help?
Just updated to latest nightly and it is the same.
Anyways what is your standby time?

CM13 is buggy (like all CM's) - use stock MM, any version, great battery life!

Mines 1% per h lol but it was better earlier, about a month or two
Is there any solution like new kernel or something?

I was on marshmallow (updated right after I got the phone) and the battery was terrible. It's like 2% per h and sot was also bad I could get only 2.5 h. The battery drainer was Android system and sometimes kernel.
And another battery drain.

So this WAS by best battery life.
On cm 13.

What about you turning off syncing? You can't expect a good battery life with sycing on

i know you get less on MM but you can tweak it.. maybe its rom issue.. i remeber when i used CM i have a drain. but my phone would not go to deep sleep.. also back then
RILJ was draining it.. i think you should try another CM rom or stock.

Now I'm on AICP and it's the same gonna try rr now and then stock.

Again, on RR

Im now stock and same happened. Im even on genysys or something rom and i got a custom simplegx kernel, but nooo it drain again.

No matter what rom or kernel I use, my battery just doesn't love me.
Latest cm and tried every custom kernel and 2 of them for stock.

Why most G4 power users that i saw have a great bl on cm and on stock rom?
This probably isn't a rom issue or maybe its not a kernel issue.
And how did i make it in Greece? Im on 2G now!
Is there any secret behind this, its annoying me like every time i see it...

Check your apps. Sometimes bad apps can really screw you. I'm on stock V20H and I get 4h-5h SoT with no drains. V20G was also really good. The old V20D had battery issues and run like crap but the newest are smooth as silk. A rogue app may be the culprit. Check your sync settings and disable any syncs you don't really need. Clearing the app cache can also help sometimes.

[Q] CM10 - FreeXperia Project - Battery drain

hi, i am using sony xperia s with freexperia cm9.1.
the last few times i tried fxp cm10 and experinced a big battery draining. from 99% to 70% in just 3 hours and so on... it was in standby and i just used a few times in that time...
does anyone have the same problem?
i tried it withe the cm10 version 149 and 150 from fxp and i have still the same problem...
i can't ask here because of the "10-Posts-Rule"
when i install the rom, i clear the dalvik-cache and then flash the zip..
do i need to do something else?
The drain can be high at first let it settle and check the drain after you have recharged the battery 2-3 times.. And as always if you have bad 3G coverage it will drain your battery, I always have mine set to 2G, no DATA and no Location services(gps). If I'm only using my phone in a moderate way it lasts 1½-2 days.
Yeah I've been noticing this as of late. I'm having major battery drains and can't seem to find the cause, it's like literally less than 12 hours before I need to recharge?
I'm having the same problem as well... With the Stock Rom and CM9 i could work much longer.
CM10 is eating up my battery...
its not because gps, wlan or whatever..
i've these things always on (CM9) and the battery life is good, but not on CM10
however i'am now on DualCores StockMod and it's veeeeeerrrryyyyy goood
the only issue for me is low incall volume
to all try nova kernel
I'm using that it works good.
even fixes low in call volume.
nova kernel? is it only for cm?
gonna try it tommorrow when the world is still there :fingers-crossed:
" It is for JellyBean ROM such as CM10 and AOKP ONLY."
Use PAC rom and nova kernel. I get really good battery life with that combination. Its been on for 28h now and i have 34% left.
Sent from my jelly-PAC SxS
i am on vacation...
so i am gonna try both
thanks for help!

Battery backup gone ****

Well I am on unofficial cynogen mod with nebula kernel.
The problem is that my battery backup is just lame. I get at most 1 hour from my battery with constant usage. Pic attached.

Best Custom ROM for my nexus 5x !!

I am using stock Rom with elementalx kernel. Still facing lag and poor performance.
Please suggest me which Rom with which kernel should i flash in my Nexus 5x to get good performance and battery life enhancement.
I am using PureNexus with 0 issues and go all day on battery. I only play one game so I cannot say it will work for you as I only check in on it every now and then. ElementalX is great! Favorite kernel atm. I would say back up, I use Helium for text, call logs, and the like and flash a couple and try some out.

Thanku so much . i have heard that franco kernel is better for battery performance ? Is that true ? And can i use xposed on pure nexus as well ?
I am using xposed and i haven't tried Franco's kernel yet. Try it out. Just a flash away.
I like ubermallow + phasma kernel, great battery and some nice features so I don't have to install xposed (I've always thought it's just a bit sketchy), or if you don't want more features, uberstock, which is just a more optimized version of android

I believe what he meant was the percentage drops by 2% each time instead of 1%. So instead of showing 99% of it goes right to 98%.

Desperate for battery life!

I own Oneplus 3. And the following problem happens on EVERY single rom/kernel combination i've ever tried. (yes, even stock oos rom)
When i'm at home on my wifi connection I can easily get up to 5 hours of screen-on time, but the minute I leave my house and switch to 4G I can barely get 2 hours of screen-on time. Even with data TURNED OFF Android OS and Cell Standby use most of my battery.
I have no idea what to do anymore.
How good is signal strength in the areas you frequent....did you also get bad battery life on full stock? Are you matching roms with the correct firmware and modem?
Try to use AKT.... and use a profile like X.A.N.A....... might help you:

Signal is pretty good. First two months on full stock i got great sot but then it just got worse. What do you mean by matching firmware or modem. How do you know which one is the right one?
If u could send us a screen shot of the 'exact' drain you are currently having. What is your usage? Etc.
The ROM developers for the custom roms you've been trying will normally tell you the best firmware and modem package for that ROM....like I use a version of freedom OS based on OOS 3.2.8 with the firmware for that particular build...there is a thread on xda with a collection of all the firmwares if you do a little search. It might also be thast some apps are running rampant.
Try enabling aggressive dose. Also, post your battery usage here for more information. Personally, i prefer using Greenify with Xposed IF you are on marshmallow, else try using Greenigy with root on Nougat.
Unlock and flash Slim ROM and bingo... Insane battery life..

Facebook is the biggest cause for battery drain. Hibernating that should be your first priority. Furthermore, try disabling messaging apps that support GCM (whatapp, hike etc) It might cause you some delay in receiving texts but i guarantee a better battery life.
this battery drain doesnt sound normal.
you should check the logcat (App: CatLog for example) if there many errors somewhere that happen again and again and drain your juice.
what system are you running now?

That sounds like there is a problem with your modem. Although im not really a pro in reading logcats. But you should try out flashing different radios.

Weak Battery Life after installing 3rd party roms

I tried and installed AOSP, EU, Abhix and many port roms. In the end my battery life has fallen by half. My Redmi Note 5 Pro gives me only 4 hours of screen time. I have turned back to Stock MIUI 11.0.3 Global but no chance, still weak battery life. Is there any solution to this ?
Any idea ?
Which firmware version are you using ? Latest one ? I"ve heard it has some issues

miui_HMNote5Global_V11.0.3.0.PEIMIXM_ff4c5a6b1a_9.0 is what I use. There is also a stock rom called
miui_HMNote5Global_V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM_e714180088_9.0.zip. Which one do you recommend ?
Unfortunately i haven"t updated my phone for almost 2 years and i"m currently using a AOSP rom, so i can"t check the firmware version im using :/
And how long have you been testing the roms ? Phone needs some time to settle down and optimise battery life

3 months I guess. How is AOSP rom ? How much screen time does it give ?
Three months for how many roms exacly ? Mebay too little time per rom has passed.
Have you performed a clean installs (wiping data) or dirty flashed rom over a rom ?
Im currently using ancient build of ArrowOS 11. The only things that i found not to work are WI-FI display and 1/8x slow-motion mode in Gcam (I don"t thing this one is ROM related).
Today i"ve scored most of the SOT using Total Commander (tidying up tons of old files) and scored 5h 35min of SOT.

The application called Naptime-battery saver (requires root) solved the problem to some extend. Now It does not drain the battery that much. I recommend it. But I need a real solution.
So the problem was in standby drain ?
From brief examination of google play decription - naptime forces doze mode to kick in faster. So there had to be and app/service running in the backgroud which was preventing the phone from entering doze mode.
You should try to find out which app was responsible for this.
Mebay google play services/playstore update ? I think google play icon has been changed today, so there must have been an update.
Naptime can be used without root as well, however some permissions using ADB have to be granted to make it work

It's beyond standby drain. It has only solved standby drain. When I wake up the screen, battery drain goes on. It's not about playstore, the problem has started since I installed custom rom. The mistery is why It cannot save the day although I reinstall the stock rom ? Ridiculous.
Pixelexperience is the solution. Battery life is much better than any other custom rom.
