Greetings all. I have a major issue with my A3's (2017) battery and it seems like many people are having the same issue. Despite the number of users experiencing this, there are no solid solutions to be found anywhere. I've tried absolutely everything; from changing my WiFi settings to disabling almost every built-in app. Even when the screen is off my battery drains at almost 5% an hour, regardless of whether AOD is turned on or off. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether I'm using WiFi or HSDPA either.
I'm unable to post any links, so no screenshots unfortunately. Android OS is utilising 24% and screen is at 18%. My battery usage graph is at a 45° angle: Not the nice, relatively flat line that you would expect to see.
If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it, as I'm on the verge of smashing this POS with a 4 pound hammer.
It almost sounds like it's something wakes up the phone a lot during deepsleep or something.
Try to install wakelock detector from play. Maybe it can give a hint of what's draining the battery.

Try use Gsam for identify your problem.
I'm having the same problem and i think it's becuse of the new update i installed recently. On the January build(with the January security patches) I had way better battery life. Attached a screenshot so you can see the new build number. Do you think if I revert to the old firmware this will be fixed?

I also thought of that but unfortunately I haven't rooted it yet because it's still fairly new and I'm not sure if I may have to return it or not. I might just have to root so I can try get to the bottom of it.

Ok so I installed GSAM and it's reporting that my screen is using 61%, even though my screen brightness is set to almost as low as it can go. It's used 18 percent in just over 2 hours. Can you confirm if this is normal? Also I noticed that Android OS stay awake is at over 11 hours. Seems a bit much to me. I'm thinking I should just root it so I can do some proper diagnostics.
Thanks for your help guys.
If you do not mind losing the warranty, do root. But I would first make the factory reset and have done testing without installing any other applications.

1) factory reset device
2) drain battery till 0%
3) charge it to 100%
4) Use sleep/doze mode for apps
5) Use power saving (mid/high)
Hey guys , i recently aquired an LG G4 H815 powered by android MARSHMELLOW V20g , the battery drains really fast and i didn't figure out why until i realized that the screen uses up to 68 % of battery power , though i reduce brightness to the minimum , nothing really changes , please help
That is normal. The screen using that much battery is a good sign. The more the better.
On max brightness, the screen uses a fixed amount of energy so if you're using 62% on the screen, it must mean other apps aren't misbehaving.
Tap on the screen and check the screen on time. It should be between 3 hours and 5 hours. If so, everything looks good.
Yes i agree , it's definitely logical , but is there anything i can do to reduce battery draining even a little

Even non root try to disable all non used apps disable sync and gps.
Also shut of data or wifi when not used, Use facebook on the web not the app major batt hog
my g4 normally got me only 2 hours of SOT which is horrible.
It's really frustrating man , and i absolutely deactivated unused apps as well as mobile data , sync and gps , actually everything's off , i made sure of it when i did a hard reset , it's abnormal as a friend of mine has a similar phone , but he hasn't the stupid problem , is there any version i can trust to flash , i have a 6.0 v20g
c'mon guys i'm really out of options
update guys , it's about the phone's battery , when i stopped using the usual charger which was really fast , about 1000 ma according to ampere app , and switched to another slower one , after a few days the battery somehow went to normal , can anybody explain why , was the battery just getting used to the slower charger ?
You should buy a spare battery with it's charger. The G4 battery is not that good even with optimal configuration.

Yeah, well... it's always better to use the manufacturer accessories, in this case the charger. Yeah, we know that Marshmallow uses more battery than Lollipop but the difference is not that obvious if you use the right charger. I've tested and Marshmallow cuts my SOT with roughly 40-50 mins...
That's the real problem , it's when you don't have the original charger , or let's just say you have no idea if the seller would give it to you as the phone was being used , you definitely have to figure out how to pick the appropriate one , any ideas ?
c'mon guys there must be a way to distinguish between a fake and an original charger , for example through monitoring amperage or may be voltage , i just need some clue , anything !
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.
Hello team
I'm coming with a question regarding the battery of the nubia read magic 5S.
I have been with the phone for less than one week and I am checking that the battery capacity is not the same as the one that is stated by Nubia. It should be 4500 mah but I have 4000 according to the accu battery app.
Can someone please double check this capacity in your phones?
Thanks

the Capaacity on mine is quite good. i think less than 3% when full its 4370mah or around that the last time i checked.
its possible you've charged it at poor intervals. and maybe used a speed charger of some kind.
for the health of the battery and to test. do this for the next 3 or so days.
during the day try to get the phone to around 5% (no lower than 3%) try not to do this fast like with gaming heavy or whatever.
then connect to a slow charger 2 or 3 amps max. and allow to charge to 100% without using the phone. allow 10 minutes grace time after the phone is fully charged to allow the battery to cool a little.
then again use the phone as you would, up to 5% again. and repeat the process 3 times. then check your capacity. that will be your real capacity. if you follow those steps exactly.

Hey Patrick
Thanks for your feedback. You are kind of right about the fast charger. I iused the 65w PD usb of my Lenovo laptop which really charged the device at full speed.
I will post my results as soon as I can
Thanks again

Hello Patrick
I have done 3 slow charge discharge intervals and the data in the accu battery app remains that same
Actually maybe the battery is not damage cause the cycle is kind of good. Just trying to figure out what is the issue

it may be best then to contact nubia or the seller you bought the phone from. if the battery is faulty or old is should be replaced. its very odd that the battery is not the rated 4400mah especially for a device that is just new. a small discrepancy like mine 2-3% is usually alright for something left in storage for 2-3 months after manufacture. but if you're past a large amount of capacity in such a short time, its possible that the battery is faulty and will need to be replaced.
do try other battery monitor apps incase your app is giving false readings. But I would contact Nubia about a warranty repair. if you bought it directly from Nubia, @JerryYin may be able to help forward your request.

Hey guys,
Long time accubattery user here.
You'll have to uninstall the app and re-install it before trying the above.
The estimates are not great for long term information but benefit more over long term (months).
If you want a fast reading, try the above but also check your estimated capacity on the main screen (charging), go to the bottom and you'll see it there. Make sure your phone is fully charged first.
My estimated capacity was 4000mah originally, but now I'm showing 4545mah (on the 5G, not 5S).

The battery capacity have a bug that will cause most of the software can't identity all the capacity. This should be fix in future update.

Please fix:
1. Ongoing app notifications such as my weather app showing app icon instead of weather info, same goes for
other apps such as emails, missed calls, messsages etc. where it only shows app icons instead of proper info
2. DTS X crashes on bluetooth headphones everytime, works OK with wired, but come on, it's 2020, everything's
wireless these days.
3. Every few days you need to clear "Bluetooth system app's" cache otherwise it stops connecting with paired
devices.
4. Can't set up default apps at least not all of them
Thanks in advance.
For the last 2 days my phone has completely lost its mind in term of battery.
Contant 1% per 10 minutes drain no matter the load.
Charging doesnt affect this at all.
Once my phone drops below 1% and turns off rebooting instantly brings it back to an exact 74% each time.
Factory reset doesnt fix it.
Most 3rd party apps show the same stats, Accubattery says that there is no usage information for proper calibration.
Thankfully its still under warranty, but it would take more than a week.
Is there any chance this is a software issue or should i just ship it back for repairs?
That looks very wrong and looks like a hardware problem. Did this occur over time, or right after you got your device?
Poco F3 easily holds 2 days on light usage, or 1,5 days with mid-heavy usage. Your graph looks very bad.
If AccuBattery isn't able to show information about your battery, that's also bad. Really looks like battery-failure or something related to it.
In terms of software, you'd have the possibility to flash the ROM (Android) again. However I don't think this would do anything. I don't think anything from the system could be corrupted in any way.
I think you should return it.

Ive had the phone for about 2 months and this is the first issue ive had with it( 2 days ag). No other issues other than the battery. no heat no crashes no restarts no nothing. battery life was brilliant.
I should also mention im running stock miui 12.5.3

I don't have anything in my mind that could potentially help you, other than reflashing the ROM. Reflashing would get rid of any potentially corrupt system files or configs and refresh the whole OS. But I don't know if this would help you.
I wish I could give you another tip but I can't think of anything. Did your phone fall maybe?

I've already done a factory reset. I dont recall anything happening to it recently. I removed my case to inspect for any bulging or cracks but everything looks pristine.
Well i guess its back to my oneplus 5 for a week.

Hello everyone, This is battery percentage graph of my 5 days old POCO F3. I believe screen is consuming way too much power in my device. Can you check it please? What do you think? Is it normal?
My display refresh rate is 120 Hz and auto brightness is enabled. MIUI 12.5.5, RKHMIXM

I couldn't tell you by looking at that how long do you think you get with video games on screen for 100 to 0 and how long browsing the web or light activities for screen on time?
It should be about 5 hours or so for games - I don't game so I can't confirm
8 hours or so for light activities. I can confirm 8 to 10 hours on light activities from personal experience
Also I use custom Android 12 aosp roms like evolution x
I do think stock does about the same.

The screen alone is consuming 1183.22 mAh for 5 hr 44 mins, while PUBG consumed 502.89 mAh for 45 mins of gameplay. I did play PES for 1 hour also. But the data shows exactly which app consumes how much. Here the screen is consuming 1183 mAh alone and the phone's battery is 4520 mAh.

Even if you are led to believe that these values are exact, they are not. Not at all. Android can only estimate the consumption.
Usually, Android can only read the voltage of the battery and then knows something like 4.2 volts = 100% = 4520 mAh, 3.7 volts = 0% = 0 mAh. All consumption values are then calculated from voltage drop and usage time.
It is not possible to determine the consumption of a single component or a single application exactly, since they never consume separately, but always together. Maybe there are a few inbuilt constants (like WiFi takes between -0.05 and -0.2 volts per hour or something), but the moment you play 3D games, so many components are demanded simultaneously and very differently that an exact determination is not possible.
TLDR: Don't care about the mAh.
As @Techguy777 said, 5 to 6 hours SOT while heavy gaming is quite reasonable.

Thanks for the explanation
I'm having the same problem with the battery. It charges to 31% e drains fast and when the phone reboots, it goes back to 31%.
Any infos on how to fix this? Maybe replacing the battery? If it's not the battery, what else could it be?
It's not the rom, the problem persist event on recovery and I already tried to flash different roms.
This issue already happened to my poco F3 three times. For first and second times i went to xioami service center to claim warranty repair. Its took a week or two to get back my device. For the third time happened recently and its too hassle for to claim warranty again coz the service center is too far. Read on other thread that the problem actually can be fix by reseating battery connector. But to do that will have me to open and put back the back cover. Its happened to remind me the old way, hard reboot. For the first time, i try press and hold power button for 15 sec an the device will rebooted couple of times but nothing change. Second try, i press and hold power button for 30, this time after finish booting the battery percentage info has changed but the charging and disharging info still problem. Then tried for third time press and hold power button for 45 second, this time all the battery issue for my phone have fixed. I suspected this happens when device in my pocket. The device accidently pressed some combination of key and when it reboot the issue happened.
