So, me and my wife both started seeing this issue pop up. My wife first told me her battery went from full to almost empty within in few hours, but I think it was never fully charged to begin with.
The meter doesn't match the settings % very well...

Mine is showing the same. Even if it's at 50% the battery icon will still be at 3/4 full. Oh well. Must be an issue with this version of Froyo.
jv
after flashing a rom(any rom), it is recommended that you recondition the battery. you can find instructions on how to do this in this board or the vibrant boards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939425
this will make the phone relearn the battery and read it properly(unless of course there is a problem with the rom reading battery life)
I just ran some high CPU apps to drop it below 60% and the bar dropped some. I dunno, I would think the bar is reporting a bit to generous for being at 59%!
From what I've heard, the stock battery icon goes by 20% increments.
100-80, 79-60, 59-40 ...etc
Since your phone is at 61%, it seems to be displaying it properly on the notification bar.
I cleared the battery stats in CWR already, but the value in settings seems more accurate since I've been plugged for 14 hours.
Reconditioning the battery wouldn't only effect the GUI bar. Maybe it is only a thing with Froyo or maybe its a TBD fix for DL30 before it gets an offical release.
It looks the same way in DL09 I bet... And this is development related how?

Could be... but I'd think it would be more 100(full), 99-80, 79-60, 59-40, etc.

The stock battery icon is horribly inaccurate. I think there's only 4 or 5 different icons to display the whole battery range. That said, there can be a mismatch after flashing any new rom. To reset everything, charge your battery until it's totally full (check it in settings). After that says 100%, shutdown the phone and leave it on the charger until you get the full battery message on the screen (the screen will light up and display a battery with 100%)
Once you're totally at 100%, boot into clockwork and wipe battery stats. Reboot your phone, take it off the charger and let it discharge totally - to about 5 or 10%. Some people say you should discharge it fast, I'm not so sure. I just let it discharge normally. Once it's gone through the whole range, it'll be synced up and the numbers should match from then on. Worked for me.
And if you're interested, I modified the DL30 framework with a new battery icon and 1% increments. You can download the Clockwork flashable zip here, the modified version and the stock version if you wanted to revert:
DL30_BatteryPercent.zip
DL30_StockFramework.zip
And this is what it looks like. Stock aside from the battery.

Nice. I've never ran a mod before. When I flash this through clockwork, do I need to wipe data or simply run it?

I have the same problem, and I run a theme which has uses a numeric reading. It doesn't match the figure I have for my minimalist text widget.
Which CWM recovery actually wipes the battery stats? I tried it with the new red voodoo-looking CWM and that didn't seem to work for me either. I hit wipe battery stats and it just takes me right back to the menu without actually saying it wiped anything.

New snapshots. From 91% to 19%
Same for me. Maps app takes all the battery.
Maybe you guys try disabling the Location services (a checkbox enables by default during setup after FW upgrade), and that couses drain? No idea how to disable it, though
thats easy mate
go to google in your stock browser and below the search box u'll see an option as to whether u want share your location. u can disable there!!
do you use Latitude?
Do you have any idea about "Android OS" usage because it looks too much?

You should not have Google maps taking any power if you're not using it. I do not see in my list if I have not open it since unplugged.
Battery level can behave in a strange way for a few days. Mine dropped to 70% after being plugged and charged to 100%.
Next day it dropped from 100% to 90% and the began climbing to 94% for 30 minutes.
Usually main battery hog is the screen, you should not have those drainage with the screen off.

Right, that not the problem. I have used maps, location and latitude services on other roms too. I get 2 days without recharge. Or alteast one day with heavy use. But I only got 12 hrs with no use at all on stock gingerbread.

Exactly. The screen was off. I flashed rom, restarted, charged to full battery, slept, woke up, checked my phone and this is what i got. U can see display has consumed hardly any battery. (no wonder it was off all the time)

This is also a question? Why is that so high too?? Even if maps would not have consumed any battery, gingerbread alone would have emptied it in under 24 hrs with no use at all. (display off)

Root with CF-Root-XW_OXX_JV1-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1_NO-CWM and then original kernel.
Flashed from I9000XWJS8 with bootloader, re-partition and pit512.
I got a similar problem with Android OS eating all my battery.
It was only after I plugged my phone off and pressed the power button so that the display turns off. From that point on Android OS consumed battery.
Restarted, cleared dalvik cache, now no problems anymore.

This might be the problem, I have seen that sometimes the system will not go to standby state although the displey is off and the reason was Latitude (this might also explain high usage by system and maps).
Too bad that Spare parts are not working on Gingerbread, there you could see what app is causing the system not to go to sleep.
So I think that some app is causing the system to be awake, and my gues is Latitude.
To be honest, since I don't use "maps" or "latitude", I only have Android OS eating up my battery. Bloody 75% in the span of 7 hours with a hint of WIFI and texting.
Going to try the "wipe Divik Cache" idea posted by h4m74o.
Just an update, I believe the dalvik cache idea is working. Screenshot shows my last hour of usage stabilizes instead of the decline I was experiencing. I will post back tomorrow for a reconfirmation.
I had the same problem with maps on CM7, never found out what caused it so i just uninstalled it
Battery is pretty good acutally, but i also have the strange Google Maps drainage (31% of consumption: 5.5hours stay awake and 50min CPU). I did just receive an update for Google Maps; Hopefully this fixed something, but that would be just luck .
But how do I wipe the Dalvik cache? And why would thit help?
Btw currently @27% and just under 40 hours. (1d15h)
I tried a few things.
1. Uninstalled the update to google maps.
2. FC google maps.
9% battery drain in over 11 hrs. i.e les than 1% per hour. But this is with no use at all.
The problem is, WHY is Maps still the major consumer of battery???
Can't I remove maps completely?
If you use modified kernel, try to flash JVK stock kernel, fully charge and see if any improvement. This gave back to me normal battery life.
Hi,
I have replaced the battery of my MB525. Now, I have an issue with the way it charges and discharges.
The battery percentage decreases/increases proportionnally faster than voltage, so when it decreases and reaches 1%, the phone can run again for hours ! Then, when it finally automatically shuts down, I perform a full charge and when it reaches 100%, the voltage is not to maximum value, I have to keep on charging for a while to reach around 4.164 mV.
My Defy is on CM10 (20120817 Quarx build)
The New battery is an original one (BF5X 1500 mAh)
Done things with the new battery :
- one full charge/dischage cycle --> issue is still there
- cache and dalvik wipe, reboot --> issue is still there
- cache and dalvik wipe, flash again my ROM, reboot --> issue is still there
- Full wipe, flash again my ROM + gapps, reboot, apps reinstallation with Titanium Backup --> issue is still there
UPDATE: - played with Battd files
Do I have to wait some full charge cycles to fix this or is it a hardware issue ?
UPDATE: Currently on my phone bootmenu, it displays 54% remaining when in Android it's 1% !
Another minor issue : the battery temperature sits to 25 degrees (sometimes 26 or 27) even if the phone is hot like hell....
Thanks for your help.
I am having the same issue and I think the problem is that the battery is not genuine.
Externally the battery looks genuine, just like the one that came with the phone, and it lasts what it should (day and a half) but the battery controller must be different from the original and that causes these problems.
My workaround has been to disable the battery icon and use battery monitor widget to display mV. Knowing that 4.1v is fully charged and the phone will shutdown at 3.3 - 3.5v I can live with my fake battery.

I'm trying "battery monitor widget" to see if it fits me... Do you know other apps with mV and % conversion support ? And is it possible to disable pulsing red led when low battery threashold is reached for our Defy running on CM10 ?
Otherwise, I'll try to purshase a guenine one... Do you know a website where I can find a guenine BF5X battery ?

OK thanks.
I've just purchased a REAL (I hope...) new BF5X battery on the Motorola Store. Indeed, I don't want to play with mV to know autonomy (inaccurate stuff) and to constantly have pulsing red led after only few hours and ... for hours !
Thanks to everyone.
Finally, I received my new real BF5X and everything is now OK !
- Autonomy is OK
- NO MORE PERCENTAGE DROP
EDIT: - No more 1% left for hours (voltage and percentage are synchronized)
- Temperature sensor is working
It's really really a REAL BF5X
So one advice, if you want to replace yours, don't purchase it on Amazon... Go to Motorola store.
Big thanks to all !

Hey guys. I just got a Nexus 7 recently (sold used, but "like new", description said it was used briefly for a day and then packed back in the box again). It was working really well until I flashed this kernel. I had CM10.1 on it for a while and flashed that kernel so I could use CIFS.
After I tried this, I saw the the battery had gone from around 75% to 55% one night (over 8 hours). This is much worse than it was before, where it would only drain around 3%, or at most 5%.
I understand that my issue is probably simple: Just flash a different/old kernel or a new ROM and see if it helps. But I was wondering if there's a way to see specifically what is draining the battery. I tried getting Battery Analyzer, but says that "android keyboard" uses the most CPU, and the actual battery settings says, other than the screen, that "Media Server" is using 8% of the battery, as well as System Idle or something.
I don't know what this means exactly. But I do want to know a couple of things:
1. How can I know for sure what is causing the battery drain. Is there any way to figure it out?
2. How can I troubleshoot this, that is, I want to try disabling features and seeing how much the battery drains after that.
In the mean time, I'm gonna flash a different ROM and I'm sure that'll fix it for now. But I'll have a NAND backup just in case.

Install. Follow directions. Post log as an attachment into their thread asking for help.
High loss while idle implies wakelocks and possibly CPU activity.
I actually found this before and tried it. It showed something with Google+ being highest with partial wakelocks, though I didn't fully understand it. I ended up removing the G+ widget from my home screen on a whim and it seemed to help a lot, only reduced 3% over 8 hours. I'd like to improve even that if possible, but that's how it was when I got it, so I'm really pleased with that. And hopefully it's not a fluke, I'll have to see what happens another night.
Thanks anyway. I'll monitor it more and see if there's anything else I can do.
I use System Tuner to set the off-screen CPU max to 384, seems to help a lot.

May have well just have told him to only touch his tablet on even numbered dates and to only charge it face down on an espresso colored end table. They have the same effect on battery charge and indication that wiping battery stats does. The myth of wiping battery stats was clearly and concisely given an official debunking about a year and a half ago. If anything, wiping battery stats will hinder the OP, not help.

Check if your phone turns off the display after the display timeout. I have seen this happen in Moto X sometimes.. It just stays awake. Restart fixes it.
How about brightness? Set it in Auto Brightness mode. Check your Settings->Display page and check all the fields. Apart from that Screen taking 38% is surprising.

I've been having the same problem. I updated a bunch of apps yesterday, (mostly Google apps) and it the battery seems to be better today. It may be too early to tell, but I'm hoping it was one of the Google apps that draining the battery and that it was corrected with the update.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's battery suddenly got a lot worse. I thought it was Snapchat since I had started using it recently, but the battery usage page doesn't reflect that.
One thing to check is the awake time. If you notice that your device seems to be awake all the time, I'm willing to bet that it has to do with google play services.
If rooted, there is an easy fix via gservices app on market.

I'm having the same issue. Really only getting about an hour of screen time these days. When I first got the phone it was 2+ hours. Mostly use WiFi vs cellular for data, which I thought should be more battery friendly. I make sure I don't have apps running... I'm thinking maybe my battery has just been getting weaker over time.
Here's a good read on battery wear http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
If you charge once a day like everyone the battery decreases by 15% after a year.

I downloaded the gapps fixer from the Play Store but after installing it and rebooting I could no longer send e-mails via the gmail app (clicking the "send" icon would do nothing)

Check if your phone turns off the display after the display timeout. I have seen this happen in Moto X sometimes.. It just stays awake. Restart fixes it.
How about brightness? Set it in Auto Brightness mode. Check your Settings->Display page and check all the fields. Apart from that Screen taking 38% is surprising.

Brightness is already set to auto. Also, I've check the settings and display page. Its as it should. I wiped out cache partition and it improved a little. Though I didn't saw significant change by doing that. It still runs for max 6-7 hours. That's it.
have you tried to clean battery stats from recovery?

Doesn't actually do anything. People need to stop facilitating this dumb myth.
Google said:
This file [batterystats.bin] is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings. That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you. It has no impact on your battery life.

May be u need to calibrate your battery. Try to put the phone in charge and let it reach 100% and post that dont remove the charger for 4-5 hours. This is a method to calibrate. Try this and lets see if it helps.
And, I see that you are in H+.. Try using your phone in 2G for a day and observe the battery patterns.
You should clean battery stats from recovery.. Have you tried this?
Mine will drain fast but then it will sit at 1% for several hours before finally shutting off. I have not found a fix and it's been going on for a few months now.

u let the battery die out then recharge to full without switching it on. Once complete boot the phone and when booting is complete then remove the charging cable.
Hi,
I updated my Moto G4 to Nougat last week. Everything was fine. Yesterday there was some 114 mb ota update. I downloaded it and since then I am facing two issues-
1. Whenever I lock the screen using the power/lock button on the side, the screens becomes black and white for a millisecond and then it gets locked. I haven't seen any other phone's screen becoming black and white for a tad and then lock. Is everyone experiencing the same?
2. The battery is draining just way too fast. 40% depletion since morning. I only used the phone to make two 4 minutes phonecalls. I did not install any new app or game. Any troubleshooting for this?
This is the build number etc.-

Though it's unrelated to this update, when I first got this phone last year I had the same problem with the battery. What fixed it was manually recalibrating the battery. If i remember the steps correctly it was something like: Let phone fully discharge, plug it in and charge it with the power off for about 8 hours, power it on and keep it on the charger for at least another hour.
I updated my phone to Nougat yesterday and manually updated to the same update you're on. I haven't noticed that black and white issue with the lock screen and, if anything, the battery life seems better than on marshmallow. Hopefully battery recalibration helps out. A factory reset may not be a bad idea as well, especially if it wouldn't be a big inconvenience.

The phone charges fully in under 2 hours, thanks to turbo charging. Don't you think 8 hours are way too much? The black and white issue is being faced by other users too-

No. The whole point is that the battery percentage is inaccurate. Here's a guide for you:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-callibrate-battery-device-t3308554
When I followed this process I let it charge overnight before turning it back on. I also didn't use the turbo charging charger that came with it, but instead a 5 port Anker usb charger. Perhaps I wasted time, but it worked.

Thanks. Will try the same.
That second photo of S6 looks scarier for a phone with non-removable batteries. Is that the case with most of the phones with non-removable batteries?
