Optimus G Pro E980 Battery

hi. i just got my new phone E980. its the AT&T model. the batter is so ambiguous man... like i got the phone just yesterday, started checking out the phone and the battery was like 23%.
after LITERALLY like 10 mins the battery went to like 12%... i was like WOOOOT.....
i discharged the phone completely and then took out the battery and discharged any remaining power from phone as its recommended.
then i charged the phone to full and started using again like paystore apps downloading.
as i checked the battery from setting the idle was using like 3rd most battery in the list after screen and android OS.
what is this man??? isnt it supposed to be a phablet? is it ok for my phone to be this worst at battery. this is first ever non-Samsung phone and i m used to good battery life where idle does not take freaking 3rd most of the battery... WTF... im kinda disappointed
also can someone tell me and pls like me here any good roms and how to root this phone and also tell me which roms provide good battery life?
i will be so thankful for these links...

smiler what happened to me :\
now i need to wait for new battery to arrive
EDIT:
small tip
its might help the sudden restarting if changing the processor speed to 1ghz max

I've solve the same Issue by using an Ipad Charger because the 3140Mah battery need a 2 Ampere charger.
First day my F240L drain full battery in 3 hours, the 100% charge was fake by charging with Galaxy S3 charger (I got Phone Used without Charger), the phone show 100% charge but the value was fake.
Try a charger with 2 Ampere Output.
This metod is working with ipad charger and Galaxy Tab 3 charger.
I hope that my Hint work for you.
Now my battery works very well. yesterday i disconnect phone at 8.30 am and at the 23.30 the charge was 47%, with mid-heavy use and wifi turned on all the day.

Plus 1!

Just got a set of these and a charger and they are great!! They are fairly cheap but not crap like the VERY cheap ones. Plus they have 180 day warranty. I suggest anyone who needs a battery go for the Zero Lemon.

Sorry that's all I got but you will see in the first screen shot during the 3 days the phone was powered on and off charge, the screen used 35% of the battery. I have had 2 previous phones, TMO GS2 and ATT Note1 and never had the battery last longer than around 24-26 hours on any ROM under similar circumstances. That is with notifications enabled and data and Wifi active but Bluetooth off.
2nd screenshot shows phone was sleeping (offline) 95% of the time so if my calculation is correct, on screen time would calculate out at 4394 minutes * (100-95.4) % = 202 minutes or around 3.3 hours during the 3 days I was using it (little more than 1 hour a day). Assuming the screen was on whenever the phone was online.

You just need to press Screen to see screen time

[Q] Performance/battery life on stock 6.0.1? Currently on 4.4.2 [Wifi]

Hello
I am currently on stock rooted rom on 4.4.2. I never bothered updating since it served my purposes of watching movies.
I need to gift my nexus to someone I know, so wanted to update and unroot before giving. Would anyone please tell me how the performance and battery life is on 6.0.1 stock (will be used unrooted most likely)? I have the Wifi 2013 nexus 7
I understand it may be too obvious of an answer butI searched the thread but could not find an answer. Been away from xda for a long time. Good to be back!

I have owned my Nexus 7 since Christmas it came with 6.0.1 Marshmallow installed and I am very happy with the performance and battery life. I don't know how it compares with an n7 running 4.4.2 but I have had plenty of android devices in the past 5 years all rooted etc so know good from bad. Just be aware that some n7 owners have had issues with firmware updates leading to bricked tablets. I would say go for it, do a full wipe first though and maybe use the excellent Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. Enjoy.

Pretty Great!
I am not running stock. I am on Commotio by TeamVanir and I get 1-2% discharge on standby during 12-16hours and when I am using it and watching youtube over wifi or just general browsing on reddit and google plus or chrome I get around 5-7hrs of SOT. My tablet is around 2 years old now and I used to charge once every 3 days so its battery is also not what it used to be when it was new.

Stock rooted, I use about 8%/hour (reading, internet connected, dim screen), about 10%/hour browsing the web, dim screen). I routinely let it sit on a Qi charger when not it use, so can't comment on the standby time. Subjectively, much better than I saw on KK.

I just updated mine recently to Marshmallow from Kit Kat as well. I had an issue on 6.0.1 with standby battery drain being about %10 overnight, even though it appeared to enter doze correctly. I couldn't identify any wakelocks that accounts for this drain.
I switched to 6.0.0 and it's much better now, completely same settings and apps. Overnight, it's probably a 1.5% loss, if that. Overall, battery performance is improved. But for me, 6.0.1 didn't work out. Not quite sure why.

When you flash a new build you have to wait for a couple of charge recharge cycles until it correctly displays the battery. On a different ROM normally i lose 1% per hour on standby but after just updating and for the first few cycles even in dozd I loose more than 10% and sometimes even 50% during the night but it settles down after a charge cycle.

Good information, thanks! I had already given it a couple weeks and few discharges, but I'd be willing to try again and hope it will work itself out.

But is the performance better or worse? And is rooting / unlocking still no problem?

Phone shutting off at 35% battery level

Ever since I upgraded to Marshmallow, the phone is shutting off at 35%.
If I plug it into a fast charger it'll start back up. Non fast charger forget it. Battery shows 35% when I plug it in to charge.
Took it to Best Buy after speaking to an AT&T tech. The Samsung rep at BB, said he ran some recovery software to check for missing or corrupted files associated with the upgrade. It appeared that they just reinstalled the 6.01 update.
Anyways it did nothing and the Samsung tech said I could try doing a factory reset or maybe try a new battery. He then said that if the problem started after the the MM update, then that's the issue. He mumbled something about the phone just wasn't able to handle MM blah blah blah.
ATT offered to ship me a new phone with a working upgrade.
Before I go that route or try a factory reset, I thought I'd check here for other ideas.
Not happy with the phone since the MM upgrade. Along with the phone shutting off issue, it's shutting off while charging on my wireless charger, phone screen is screwed up in landscape mode and doesn't show any of the buttons that show in portrait mode.
Is there a battery calibration app that will run on this without root?

I'm a computer tech, with a VZW N4. I popped over here to see if I could help a friend with the ATT N4. Looks like he's stuck without root, but saw your post and decided to reply.
I always recommend installing 'Battery Left Widget' from the Play Store and use it on the main screen. If you want to test the battery... do the following. But I'd recommend getting a new battery. It's most likely the cause of your problem.
Go to the settings and change the 'Discharging Widget Man Text' to "Estimated Battery %". The other settings can be as you wish, but I prefer the 2nd to be time remaining and 3rd to be time dead. Do the same for the charging options.
Let it calibrate for a few days. If you see a big discrepancy between the system battery (in the top right) and the widget, you've got a dying battery. Buy a new one. My Verizon version of the Note 4 started dying at 22% and rebooting. Dying battery was the cause. I knew this because it would read 72% in the top, but 42% in Battery Left Widget. And when it would get to 5% in the widget, it would start rebooting. The other battery at the top was reading much higher. A new battery fixed my woes. However the OTA upgrade to MM did a job on the battery too.
One word of advice ... turn off Fast Charging. It probably killed your battery in the first place. The original Samsung chargers will still charge it to full in a couple hours, but Fast Charging does something bad to the batteries, and they don't last as long. I know, I've had a Note 4 since day one, and I'm on my 4th battery.
A note about MM upgrade. I have to say, I wasn't a fan either. My battery didn't last as long on MM as it did on LP. The tricks about doing a full wipe didn't help. The only fix was to get my VZW model rooted and I regained control. Now I have a MM rom that actually works well and gives me 15 hours a day of usage, 3+ hours of on screen time.

What rom you are using anyway. I have changed my battery and switched to miui 8. But problem remains same with an extended battery life... But mine won't charge more than 67% and shut down @ 12% with a SOT of 3 hours and above.

I would try your battery in another device, just as a test.
Well ... mine is a VZW Note 4, not AT&T. I've used multiple roms over the past few months. I don't know what type of extended battery you are using, but if it's the ZeroLemon, it may need a better kernel to work with it. The phone doesn't know about extended batteries without additional instructions, so charging and time to empty can vary.
I just know I will NEVER buy another Samsung battery from anywhere. I think 99% of them are fake. I went with an Anker brand and it's been perfect.
Currently, I'm running MODest v5 ROM. I just installed Nseven on a 2nd device as a test. As for the MODest ROM, after only a couple of days of testing, it looks like I'll get even better battery life than I did with PaulPizz v2 (over 16 hours of heavy use compared to the 13 with PaulPizz)

Thanks for your quick reply... Im using samsung original Stock battery and there is sticker of smart care and it is from a samsung showroom
So no idea its original or not.. Should have been original... My note 4 SM 910S SK tel korian version so the rom options are very limited. Do not have any warranty period left so im confused whether i should go for a hardware checkup... Anyway im pissed of since the marshmallow arrives....the problem started right after that update.. Since then i have changed rom changed battery.. So now i guess i have to change the phone finally... Anyway thanks for your reply..

I have the same problem with charging to only 67%
If you take out the battery it will continue charging to 100%.
All this cr*p started when updated to MM
Going back to stock 5.0.1 and doing the #*0228# reset should help.
And samsung batteries are a disaster, even the genuines ones.

Problem with new battery

Hello.
Two weeks ago I replaced my battery (2 years old) bacause the phone bagan to shut down on 35%, it was getting very hot, with very short life after recharge and so on.
They replaced it with genuine battery and now it's not so much better. Yes, now it goes to 1% and then it shuts down, but still the battery gets very hot and the battery life is not much better than the old one. I installed AccuBattery and it showed Estimated capacity: 2000mAh so I decided to try the guides in the forum for battery calibration... now the estimated capacity is 1400mAh
It's running on Oreo firmware and a custom rom Android 10.
What can I do? Is the battery defective?
Any help will be appriciated!
Thank you!

Darn I can relate to your situation, as mine says about 1837 MAH estimate in accubattery, I just bought this phone about 2 weeks ago from someone on craiglist, got it pretty cheap. I was also thinking of changing my battery but it looks like pretty difficult job. Like the most difficult there is just about.
Are you familiar with the HTC battery test? I'm curious what your old vs new batteries would have scored. My phone is on the charger right now and then when it gets to 100 I am going to run that test finally. I have been using accubattery and charged and discharged the battery a couple times since I bought it which helped (it was estimated as low as 44% capacity at one point ). Right now mine is 63% capacity.
Some lean towards it being a software issue. Also hard to say the source of the new battery and they do sit on the shelf 2 years probably at least since the phone is from 2016.
I am reading a thread and trying to find out what the best rom is for this phone and it might help the battery too. I am just having a problem with Windows 7 connecting (the driver install error, need to reinstall the drivers, M9 also has problem connecting to Windows PC so I can't unlock the bootloaders yet).
Update: I forgot to mention, mine hovers around 60-65% in accubattery, and says about 3.5 hours screen on time. BUt I have not been using this as my phone so I am gonna try that after the battery test and see what I am averaging. I am a light user, wanted a metal phone because they are stronger. A Motorola G7 Power would be a good phone if someone wants battery life and not too expensive on ebay.
This is the thread I am checking out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/q-htc-10-power-hungry-htc-one-m8-t3791451

Hi.
I tried HTC test tool but it didn't show anything. Unfortunately, I hadn't run any tests with AccuBaterry with the old battery and I cannot compare. I'm beginning to think that it's the battery sitting on the shelf for years (I don't know how much time they can sit this way without worsening their properties) or the Android version. In fact when the phone was new, it had an excellent battry life and after I updated to Oreo firmware (official rom) the battry life got worse. I will try installing older rom, maybe even go back to stock to see if there is any difference.
While charging I see on lock screen Rapid Charge, then it goes to Charge, then Slow Charge... It's changing... I don't know if it's normal. Does it change this way for you?

Have you installed accubattery? You should, because it will tell you how your battery compares to the rated stock MAH capacity.
I ran the HTC Battery test, it drains the battery a bit for one hour, and if yours is 70% or higher after that, it is considered good. Mine was at 89% so that is not too bad.
Try again to run the HTC battery test, it's on page 2 of the tests. Also, I installed a program called generic battery drainer, because you want to cycle your battery to condition/calibrate it (especially with an older batter). When I ran that the first time my phone crashed at about 30-40 percent, and got hot. But then after that, the battery started acting more normal with each and every charge and recharge. That and using accubattery to tell me each time how much my battery was holding. According to accubattery my battery holds about 63% (about 1800mah). Accubattery says that it will give me about 4 hours of screen on time. It is not horrible nore is it that great.
With accubattery, you need to have the phone turned on while charging to gather the stats. I like it and I Think it really helps give me perspective on my battery.
I am thinking of getting a Moto G7 Power so that when we have an EMP attack I can still play videos games lol, just need to get an EMP proof storage of some kind to keep it in.

Have you done the HTC battery reset? (3-button hold-down for 2 minutes)? DO that first, then charge to 100% and run the test.
To run the HTC Battery test, first charge your battery all the way to 100%, then type " * # * # 3 4 2 4 # * # *". On the 2nd page there's a battery test function.

No I have not had that issue of it showing different charging rates with the same charger. It could be the cable has a short in it.

How long can you watch videos on youtube on Wifi for?
I ran my htc 10 and my HTC M9 head to head, both on youtube via wifi, watching the same at first but also some different and then later the same videos, until the phones drained and shut off.
Screen brightness for this test turned up to 100% btw.
HTC 10= 3 hours and 14 minutes
HTC M9= 3 hours and 38 minutes
Both phones are used i got the 10 on cl, the 9 on ebay. THe HTC 10 my orange led light does not function although the green led does work, I might try and run the led test. The 10 still has 63% capacity on accubattery. The estimated SOT is 4 hrs 4 minutes.
Has anything changed with yours for the estimated capacity? Have you charged and discharged a few times? Also try uninstalling and reinstalling accubattery then charge it some more, alswyas charge it 20 percent or more at a time it says for accurate estimates.
On a side note unrelated to battery I want to get my HTC Phones to work with windows 7 but the driver install never works so far.

Hi cannabiscure.
It's still the same, about 1750 mAh. I've tried the battery reset with the 3 keys before but actually the Accubattery showed less after that. I don't know, maybe it's not related and maybe I didn't made it right. I'll try again and test it but I need to install rom with Sense because it seems 3424 code is not working on pure Android. Reinstalling Accubattery does not change the readings. But I installed an app called Device HW Info and it shows 2700 mAh when the battery is on 100%. This seems far more logical for a new battery. It also shoes something called Kernel profile - 2744/3049 mAh. I don't know what does this mean.
I'm not watching many videos on youtube on the phone. Most of the time I'm browsing.

What is your screen on time (SOT)? How many hours does it say in the stock battery app and also in accubattery?
I got 3.25 hrs watching youtube on wifi with the screen on the highest brightness, so I could probably get at least 4 hours just web browsing and the screen on about 60-70 percent which is what I normally would use.
Are you using wifi or cell data for browsing, and how good is your connection?
Does rapid charging work on your replacement battery? I heard some don't.

Question Real battery capacity

Is there a way to accurately check the battery capacity other than with AccuBattery and such apps? After 6 charges it's showing 93% capacity (2103mAh) for a brand new phone. This doesn't seem right. What are you guys getting?

It should be at least twice that capacity, probably a little higher being new. Most apps don't properly report statistics for dual-cell batteries, or if they do there's a setting you have to toggle to let it you know your device has a dual battery. I know Battery Guru has good dual battery support.
The other issue I've seen is if the app ever gets killed in the background it can throw off the numbers. Make sure you've disabled optimization for the app.

Same as @terlynn4 , it's because the apps aren't (for most of them) able to detect dual cells batteries. Technically, the OnePlus 9 Pro is having two cells of 2250mAh, so just configure manually your app to this (set the battery profile to 2250mAh, instead of 4500mAh) and you should be fine.

I know about that and I've set it up properly, but I'm worried how it's so low for a new device. 2103 instead of 2250. Or rather 4200 instead of 4500, that's not a negligible difference.

The battery life on this phone is atrocious. I know this contributes nothing to the thread, just had to say it.

What OS are you running? For me battery life is better than I expected. I got the phone after the A12 update so it was the first OS I used and was getting 6hrs of SoT over a 24 hour period by the time I was at 20% which surprised me as I'd heard it was a big disappointment in this regard.

How much usage are you getting out of a single charge?

I get about 11 hours on a full charge and 6 hours of music while working lol , the fast charger also can be used for 5-10 mins gives you hella juice , have you used the power save mode from a full charge ? I've gotten about 16 hours while still using it for music
