I thought we could have a thread posting battery statistics in the similar fashion to the one on the Captivate General forums.
1. Make sure your battery is properly calibrated.
2. Charge the phone overnight.
3. Start using your phone in the morning and do not charge throughout the day
4. When your battery hits ~5% record your statistics.
Here's my latest stats:
Still using K10H 256hz kernel on BUPJ8 Doc Rom v9
Have a black background with a black theme, brightness on Auto today.
5% battery after 14h4m
Display 95% with Time on 3h41m6s
Cell Standby 3%
Phone Idle 1%
In Battery History
Running 40.3% 5h40m without sleeping
Wifi on 16.7% 2h21m
I was using JuiceDefender till I got home and also had 3g disabled a majority of the day, however after I got home I wanted to see the drain without juicedefender on.
Drain without juicedefender when on 3g was pretty appalling, probably a % every 5-10 minutes.
Mostly just
-Bit of Tweetdeck
-Few minutes browsing web
-Texting
-Emails
-1 phone call (5 minutes)
-Read Ebooks for 30 minutes
-Played Dungeon Hunter for 23 minutes
-Music for 1hour
-Grocery list for 18 minutes while shopping
Ok, this may sound a little bit strange, but once, maybe twice a day, I see a long bar on the Awake status in the Battery Use screen, indicating that something is keeping the phone awake for some time, usually a couple of hours.
Straight example:
I charged my phone to 100% on 8 April, around 22:30.
It's 10 April, 14:35 now, so it's on for about 1d 16h.
It still has 26%, with screen brightness set at 10%.
The alarm was set to 9:00 on 10 April.
Usage statistics:
- Display 28% (2h 16m)
- Cell Standby 22% (1d 15h 44m)
- Android System 17% (51m keep awake)
- Phone Idle 9% (1d 13h 28m)
- Android OS 5%
- OS Monitor 5%
- Voice calls 4% (7m 24s)
- Google Services 3% (16m keep awake)
- Google Search 2%(12m keep awake)
- Launcher PRO 2%
On the battery graph, I clearly see the flat line part of the last night (10 April, 00:00 till 10 April, 9:00), where I was asleep, indicating that there was no awake state, and the battery wasn't drawn of power.
But, because I was to lazy to get up when the alarm rang at 9:00, I consecutively put it to snooze about 8-10 times. That meant from 9:00 till ~10:30. After the last time on snooze, I completely turned the alarm off. I got up at 13:30 (yea, I know, I was kinda of lazy today).
Well, the problem consists in the fact that, even after 10:30, when I shut the alarm down for good, it was still awake. The awake bar in the graph points from the first time I put it on snooze till when I got up. That means from 9:00 to 13:30.
I installed OS Monitor from the Market and analyzed the logs. Indeed, from 13:15 till 13:30, the wakeup wake lock was triggered about 15 times only for alarm. So, the process was still on, even after i turned it off. What gives ?
Is it normal to even stay awake after snooze ? Can't it just wake up right when the snooze time ends ? I can't believe that it really needs to stay on all the time. And what about AFTER I turned it off ? Why the hell does it need to stay awake then !?!?
It's so unbelievable, that I actually don't think it's something Google-related (Android code fail, I mean), maybe something to do with MY phone in particular, though that would be stupid as well, I know. So what the hell is going on here ?
PS: Oh, I almost forgot. It's not only the alarm. One night it started to stay in awake mode from ~01:00 midnight till 10:00 in the morning. Unfortunately, I didn't have OS Monitor installed then. But I can give you another 7 processes that bust the wake up, besides alarm. Those would be the following: mmc_delayed_work, gpio_input, modem_fmt, modem_ip_rx, KeyEvents, PowerManagerService, max8998-charger (WTF IS THIS !>!>!>>!>!?!>!>!!?!?!?!?)
PPS: About the battery, I think it's faulty, because I have barely used it in the last 1d 16h and it has 26% left. What do you think ?
Dont think its a faulty battery. I get 17-18hrs n I use the hell outta my phone (200-500 text/day, gtalk, twitter, reading news articles, a couple YouTube videos n maybe a phone call or 2...)
Yea, well... if I send 200-500 text/say + gtalk + etc. etc. those 1d 16h would drop to about 8-10h. Compare that to your 17-18h. It's not really good now, is it ?
What's your screen brightness and how long does your screen stay up ?
Well, I have an update for 1 process from the list of 7:
gpio_input, is a process that handles physical buttons. To be more precise, every time you press the power button to wake up the device, the process is being activated.
Furthermore, after I pressed 2 times Volume Up + 1 time Volume Down + Power button, with a total of 4 button presses, it would fire up 4 distinctive gpio_input processes. So, for every physical button pressed, another process would fire up.
So no need to worry about this one. Let's see the others. The alarm one is still present all over the freaking place !
PS: Forgot to mention something: the always-awake state has gone sometime during the day. I think it was right after I did a restart. Dunno why... it just ended. Pff.
I think this is a bug because I see it on my nexus one too. Over night I'll see solid line for hours showing my phone woke up. But interestingly no battery drain happens, its just reported as being awake.

Exactly.
As for the battery, I've calculated my usage of 3G talk-time (10 mins of talk time on my phone representing 4% of battery), compared to the official stated talk-time (of 400 mins):
Oficial:
400mins = 100%
10 mins = x%
x = 2.5% from the total battery level (x represents how much % of battery level should 10mins of 3G talk eat juice, after Google standards)
Real stats:
10 min = 4% out of 95% battery level
Phone = 4/100*95= 3.4% from the TOTAL 100% battery
y mins = 100%
10 mins = 3.4%
y = 1000/3.4 = 294mins ~= 300mins REAL TALK TIME
So, after calculations, it seems that for MY phone, the 3G talk time is actually 300mins, not 400 as Google states. That's an argument for WHY I actually believe my battery sucks. Well, it doesn't TOTALLY suck, as some of your batteries here on the forum... but it is indeed below the standard. Isn't it ?
Yep, it happened again. No problems during the night, but in the morning, when the alarm started, the always awake state has begun. It now shows a long blue bar that spans for about 3-4 hours. What is peculiar is that the wake lock alarm is on during the hole day, even if the alarm is completely off.
LE: Surprisingly, after a restart, it would sleep normally. I can't think of any other possibility besides the alarm (I mean, if you put the alarm to snooze, it will keep your phone in permanent awake state onwards from that point.)
What is even more interesting, is that you don't need to restart the device to finally put it back to sleep, as I stated above. I've charged it to max and the always-awake state was gone. Interesting, isn't it ? Guess it's just a glitch... If, somehow, someone knows the answer to this, I would gladly listen to it. Until then, well... I guess I'll just forget about it and never bother again. Hope you guys don't have problems with this and/or something similar. Cheers !
I have the same on Acer Liquid Metal.
Any remedy foud?
Tried to track down with aLog, but useless
I'm not quite sure... but I think maybe Maps is the cause. Again, I'm not sure at all, I'm just seeking a pattern every day I use it, and this far, Maps has been the best bet for this glitch. Can you confirm that ?
LE: Forgot. The remedy is, well... just go to Task Manager and stop the app.
Also, I have seen 3 instances of this process:
- com.google.android.apps.maps
- com.google.android.apps.maps:NetworkLocationService (I think this one is the problem)
- com.google.android.apps.maps:Friends (or something like this; and wondered what the hell it is for...)
For me the culprit is definitely maps. And that effect is doubled when I'm signed in to latitude. Just by signing out of latitude I can double my battery life and by disabling "wireless networks" in the location settings my battery life can be tripled! There is something really wrong with the maps app here.

Thanks a lot for the input, really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I don't use Latitude, so I can't confirm that part. Neither the wireless networks part, I haven't notice that before... but I'll see what I can come up with.
Still searching what to stop
All you said was already deleted/frozen but problem persist
When I look at my battery usage I saw that my S2 is constantly awake, even when I turn the screen off and put the phone away for a couple of hours.
I've turned off Wifi/3G and even background sync, but it stays awake all the time causing the battery to drain a lot faster than I want. Is there a way to stop this?
I hear people talking about theirs dropping only a couple percent per hour when not using the phone but mine at least drains 10% per hour.
Could it be the Social Hub?
Btw, my S2 runs on the latest KE2 firmware.
For me, I've noticed a big decrease in idle-battery draining when I rooted and removed Social Hub and I never even used it. It still stays "awake" as much as it did before on the little lines in the battery usage app, but a lot more juice.
Used to lose 10% per hour like you, now more like 5%.
If it stays awake all the time, something is _wrong_. If I don't use my phone the only awake time I can see in the battery status is every 15 mins (approx) when it goes "awake" a couple of seconds to update all the **** I have updating. It never stays awake all the time.
edit:
And just to give some more info. Mine is still stock on KE2 with all the crap Samsung put in the phone still in place.

sorry for highjacking your thread, but how do you guys get all this awake battery time info, is there a particular app you guys use.?

I think I experienced the same thing this night. I lost about 10% in 7 hours but the graph still showed that my phone was awake all the time.
Again, I turned the Wifi and 3G off. I'm still running the stock KE2 firmware together with all the Samsung apps. I haven't rooted it yet.
Also, Maps and Social Hub seemed to be active a lot when I look at their stay awake times.
bump.
to much awake time here as well.
how can i find out whats causing it?
I'd put money on it being widgets. Remove all the widgets from home screens, restart the phone and see if that fixes it. You can thank me later ;-)

I have this problem from time to time, killing wifi sharing stopped it for me. Comes back once a day for no reason I can see. 1 Kill a day keeps the phone last a full day for me.

Yeah I also see the occasional WTF moment when the phone suddenly decides in the middle of the day to stay awake 100% of the time. Battery then drains about the same 5-10% an hour you see. Not sure what causes it but a reboot usually fixes it, battery drain goes back to 0.5%-2% an hour that it usually sits at.
Sometimes I also see wifi sharing eating a constant ~50% of CPU, at which point battery drains more like 25% an hour, though not sure if it's related. If only I could disable the damn thing without rooting.
I also have this weird problem. My 2g data connection remains on because I receive a lot of emails so Ive enabled push notifications. However the problem is even when the screen is off, the phone stays awake 100% of the time.
I went to sleep after completely charging the phone at around 11pm and when I woke up at around 9 am, the battery was at 30%. That is 70% battery gone for not doing anything at all. Really need a solution for this guys. Or should I just turn off my data connection?
i had this prob with Widgetsoid installed.
Problem gone when i removed it.
Find on XDA BetterBatteryStats app.. Use phone for a while then run app. Check detected wakelocks. Based on that you can hunt which app or widget keep device always on.
Phone works normally if you compare Screen On and Awake graphs. Both graphs should match. Awake periods can be sometimes be out of screen-on intervals, but no too often.
In my case, I found that maps keep my phone awake.. then I figired that weather widget kep tracking my location (and uses maps for this). Also Lattitude uses maps to track location. When I configure weather widget to not track my location (im usually always in a home town) and turn off latitude, lots of awake periods dissaperar.
It started last week, I think after the update to 4.4.1 (stock). Phone app seems to be using lots of battery. My phone is usually only charged every other day, but now I need to charge it daily. I have not installed anything new last week.
The pattern is very weird. There are times where it suddenly drain lots of battery for no reason - no call was being made - then sometimes it fix itself.
Right now, the phone app is showing
CPU Total 21m
CPU foreground 0s
Keep awake 3h 40m
Same issue as this person here:

4.4.2 has solved the problem.. upgrade your os.
I'm on full stock . My last boot time is around 52 hours for some reason gsam battery monitor has my phone as held awake for almost 8 hours of which 3 were sot and around 2 was doze . I'm using greenify with aggressive doze and a lot of apps greenified . Is this normal ? There is no app wasting battery in battery tab . Only thing not normal is a media server process which run for 27 minutes total
Your device is being held awake nearly 100% of the time (look at Held Awake and then add Screen On time).
This is not normal... In my bone stock device Held Awake time is typically 1 hour for every 5-6 hours of screen off time.
I would suggest installing Wakelock Detector and seeing what is actually keeping the device from sleeping.

After a fresh reboot and after two hours I have a held awake for 11 minutes and the phone actually went to deep sleep now I'll check the app you told me and report back
Edit: quick question since I don't have root is the ADB activation safe for the phone? I only have it for two months so I don't know how to handle these commands yet

I have the permission from yesterday other than some system processes there isn't something that shouldn't be running . I suspected it could be google fit causing the phone to stay awake since most of the time I have the phone in my pocket and I'm walking . After the uninstall nothing major . Most stay awake time during a 5 hour session is 36 minutes or so

Lol... I wish I had 11% wake times, mine are more around 25%. I'd call this one good.
The radio phone in my Style consume around the 17% of the battery, I have seen that you have lower %

This varies a lot based on signal strength... the SD808 is pretty battery friendly with great signal, but poor signal will drain the battery quite quickly, nothing you can really do about it.

Something is requesting your network (rough) location via Wifi and Mobile Network, and Google Services is trying to do it but can't because you are in airplane mode... It's a misbehaving app that doesn't acknowledge airplane mode, very hard to find when it's so intermittent.

From the time you go to sleep til you wake up, assuming at least 5 hours or more, I would think no less than 95%. I typically hit around 97-99% depending if I wake up and check the time or snooze my alarm a few times. But I use amplify and Greenify along with various other tweaks (I.e, no WiFi, mobile data, or auto sync) maximize battery.
This is what I got... But I am stock and not rooted.
