Battery life issues

I'm running the Mahdi rom 2.5 on my gpad and my battery life is terrible. I have been doing some basic Web surfing for the past hour and the battery dropped 20% . I checked battery stats and it says the screen used 90% of the battery. I have it set at 70 percent brightness which doesn't seem to high. I'm new to Android so maybe I'm missing a setting . Any help will be great

One thing that helped my battery life was turning off the location access in settings. Alot of apps these days like to monitor your location to assist in features they have within their apps.

That seems about normal.
With the screen all the time on you can get about 5 hours of battery life.
It's the screen that eats pretty much all of the battery so there's no solution for it.

I was thinking 5-6 hours sounds about right too.

I'm using Mahdi rom too, but it's not that bad, I think it's generally the G Pad not brilliant on battery.
I know this doesn't help with on-screen time, but get yourself Greenify app which helps with off screen battery usage. You'll need Xposed module for it to work.
You can stop wakelocks for certain things too. Get yourself Better Battery Stats to show you what's eating your battery up, especially when in sleep. When you know what's causing wakelocks, you can block them with the Rom.
You can turn this feature on under Settings > Developer Options > all the way to bottom, find "Wakelock Blocker" > Click "Enable"
Here's a few which cause problems, for me anyway, by all means try them out and see if it makes a difference:
- ActivityManager-Launch
- AlarmManager
- AudioIn
- AudioMix
- GCM_CONN_ALARM
- NlpWakeLock
Hope that helps.

All those things don't really help, unless you are losing more battery than a couple of percent overnight (which shouldn't be the case normally)
Actually I think that apart from the screen the G pad is very efficient and hardly uses battery when sleeping.
And there's nothing you can do about the screen being power hungry.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I will have to keep it close to the charger.

G Pro Kitkat Battery hogs

is it just me or is the kitkat ROM really sucks----battery pretty well?
I also notice that the CPU usage does not drop to 20 percent idle but when I used other ROM (JB based) it becomes 5 percent.
RAM usage is good but I think it hogs the CPU. I used cpuz on measuring the cpu usage

Where can I get the JB rom for OGP?
For me, Android was best at JB and went backwards with KK.
Yes, I've noticed absolutely horrible battery life with KK. KK just feels like it is several different parts all just thrown together.

The only reason I think is that theoretically JB uses more battery is that the system uses more voltage than the kitkat. however, what's less voltage use if the CPU is always busy and wakeups are just everywhere.

Hi guys, maybe you could post in some battery stats so we could know more about whats draining your battery in particular and suggest some fixes. I've actually experienced the opposite with kitkat-battery life for me improved. There was even an instance that I got the phone to last 30 hours, with 5 hours, 48 mins. screen. On another instance I got 15 hours life and 5 hours 25 mins screen on. I just lost the screenshots as I had to reflash stock when i was doing some G3 mods., but nevertheless i could post some new ones.
I value batter life was well and i'm curious to see how yours could be improved too..

What a battery life. 15 hours screen time?
how can we accurately measure? because I only use CPU-Z and installed DS battery saver to save power. right now it only used 2% of my battery during the night. (from 1:45 - 5:50am)
I see. can you tell me what app should I use to determine CPU usage of each app/service?

No, my battery lasted 15 hours, and my screen-on time (total time i spent using the phone) was 5+ hours coz i basically used my phone then for gaming the whole day I suggest you download gsam battery monitor app (it also has a temperature_bat. Usage graph), as well as wakelock detector. Another alternative would be better battery stats. What you would need to observe would be the apps and wakelocks draining your battery both when you are using your phone, and also when its idle.

I also notice that battery capacity is 2A in which it should be 3.140A right?
this shows on kitKat but on jellybean, it's 3.140A again.
is there something wrong with the detection of battery capacity?

What happened was that in kitkat, the permisssions required to be able to access battery stat files changed. Thus, apps w/c could freely access the batter stats in JB cannot gain complete access in Kitkat. This is the case for some battery monitor apps w/c now have lesser accuracy in reporting battery. No worries though, as there are means to bypass this problem. If you have xposed you could install a module for this. Also, some apps like gsam battery monitor come with a separate root companion app. Once you install those batter stats will be accurate.

Here's a screenshot of my battery stats for today..might not be 5+ hrs of screen on as i did a lot of rebooting today (themed with g3 tweaksbox). Nevertheless, this is just to show that kitkat has the potential to provide good battery life. Also enclosed is a screenshot of one of the battery apps i use, gsam.

Hey everybody! I have some findings I absolutely must share so you can benefit as well.
I've been doing some tinkering and I've find a way to significantly increase battery life on the OGP.
First thing you'll want to do is put your phone into airplane mode.
Second, turn your screen brightness down as low as it will go. I mean, all of the way down.
Third, don't play any games on your phone.
Try those three tweaks and see what kind of battery improvement you get.

Just so you know, first my cell radio and wifi were both on the whole time. Second, i was on auto brightness the whole time. Third, i played clash of clans as you see in there.

If you have not done this already, adjust your cpu to save your battery juice. Set the cpu governor to powersaver or interactive mode if you just using the phone to send msg and make calls. I let my phone run on msm-dvcs and when I'm not plug in. Check out ROM toolbox if you're rooted. Seriously folks, instead of complaint about how much the roms suck the juice, try these different ways to see they make any difference for you.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the ZTE Axon 7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

One of the better SOT phones I've owned since coming from smaller 4.5 inch screens. I easily get 4 hours on a long day (16 -18 hours off the charger). I watched 2.5 hour movie the other day and did some more stuff. In 8 hours, I had over 5 hours of SOT with 47% battery left.

I don't like gsam because it doesn't read the SOT from the system. It records it's own stats.

GSam battery monitor allows you to see the stock android battery stats and screen on time from there by going to the menu on the bottom right, clicking more and then Battery Use - Built In. If there is an easier way to get to stock android battery stats, I'd love to know.

What settings do you guys have setup? My battery is down to 27% after only 8.5 hours off the charger and not much video watching. How do you have your phone setup concerning gestures and everything? I use the fingerprint unlock and the double tap feature and so far I am not impressed with the battery.

Nothing special, really? It's basically stock, I just disabled some stock apps: Browser, calendar, stock email, Gmail, Hangouts, and stock messaging. Everything else is left alone.... I even installed the actual Facebook app (aka: battery eater) for the first time in a few years, since my battery can keep up now.

No screen on time. I am in an area where I get no service and was using WiFi, so today I turned on Airplane mode and then WiFi and it seems to work a lot better. though I still need to investigate is battery drain is bad when using the phone in normal service area.

This is the best phone I've owned in terms of battery life. With nova launcher and using nova's battery widget I can see my SOT. I average 5:30 which is alot for me. I have gotten as much as 6:40! This is all usually over 12-28 hrs. The phone is just phenomenal, just wish the camera was better.

I would believe it. I got about 5 hours in my last run. What I think ate up about 20% was listening to music through the speakers.. The phone drained faster than normal Witt the speakers on at max volume.. Which makes sense and is 5000% tolerable because how amazing they sound.
Furthermore, if I could get some stronger cell phone signal, that would help with screen on time too. I never have no signal, but I never see over two bars of signal either.

Sorry about double post.. Forgot to include second one..

Ok, I thought this was a battery beast but I think I was wrong. I don't expect any phone's battery indicator to be totally accurate but I've noticed that if I top the A7 up a little the battery doesn't drain *at all* for a long time. I've been letting it go down to 30% then topping it up to 40% where it stays without moving even while I'm streaming music and surfing for half an hour. Fishy.
I thought that as I was on about 3:30 sot at 40% I'd let it go down further to see if it would reach 5 hours. Three charging cycles in a row the phone has hit 19% and then reported that it's empty and shut down.
EU model build B03.

Huge decline in standby time.

For the last 2 days I've been seeing a huge decline in standby time. Last night I went to bed at 100%. A little more than 6 hours later and I was down to 88%
The battery settings shows no apps using battery and the full device usage only shows Android System, Phone Idle, Android OS and Mobile network standby.
GSam shows 70% of battery for app usage but won't say which apps and as already mentioned the battery settings shows no apps using battery.
I also haven't installed any new apps in the last two days either. I even rebooted my phone last night right before I unplugged it when I went to bed.
I usually lost like 2% over 7-8 hours of standby. Now I'm losing like 12% in just over 6 hours of standby.
That's a standby power usage increase of like 6x for what seems like no reason.
Any ideas of what could be going on?

1%/hr is common and yours is 2%/hr. (2x) Repeat in safe mode to rule out one of your user apps.

In my experience 1%/hr while in standby not being touched at all(doze) is NOT common. It's usually like 0.333% for me. Your claim of 1%/hr would result in an 8% drain in 8 hours. I usually see 2-3% over 8 hours.
I will try to remember to use safe mode when I go to sleep tonight but since I haven't installed any new apps in the last several days and the battery stats don't mention any apps using a lot of battery I don't expect much difference.

FB app is the devil!
When on the 6P I was losing a ton of batt life after installing the FB app.
I uninstalled it and used a bookmark on my home screen to access FB via browser, and my batt life immediately jumped back to where it was.
FaceBook app or 25% less batt life? See ya FB!
As far as the OP question: I'd suspect something is going on in the background as I have two apps that are recognized as using battery in the background and I only lose 3-5% overnight.
Could you have changed a setting and forgotten about it (GPS, WiFi scanning, sync, etc,) or is it possible your service/signal has been really poor the last few days?
Good luck figuring it out!

FB was the one that really stood out as a huge batt life killer. Any app that's constantly checking for and sending notifications will likely put a good dent in your batt life as well.

Question S21 fe battery life

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).
