Uptime: 2hours 27minutes and x amount of seconds and dead.
did I break the record for stress testing it?
Anyways, anyone got any tips on battery life? I was thinking of getting 3000mah or 3500mah, but the design of it (bulky) just doesn't seem the right option in my mind.
Also anyone here actually have the 3000mah or 3500mah so they can chime in on the design + battery life compared to the original?
just powered the phone back up. and it says battery is at 50%. wtf.
It turned off on its own cause of low battery, and now it says 50%?
E-gad the ghost recharge strikes again.
I had the same thing happen this morning. Woke up to a dead phone, plugged in, boot ed and battery showed around 70%... Go figure

Battery may not be calibrated correctly. I have to say my only major disappointment with the EVO is how the battery life is so tied to the particular rom I'm using. I mean I expect different drain rates on different roms, but having to recalibrate the battery every time I switch roms is just plain dumb.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do you recalibrate the battery?

Juice defender did not do it for me either. I got 1.58 but too many things were turned off to get there. What is the purpose of a smart phone if everything has to be turned off to save battery.

It used to work for me, but now it is doing the same thing. Im at 1.76 now but for the past week it was stuck on 1.00, then slowly went up with each flash.
just a quick update. The reason the battery showed empty one minute and then it showed 50% the next was because of the heat. The phone was very hot when I was playing with it, and then when it cooled down it seemed to have fixed itself or w/e. Happened again today.
im sure its been answered..but how do we calibrate the battery?
Pretty sure you can erase the battery stats through clockwork recovery. Also there is a way through ADB which is pretty easy too
Sorry I don't have any links atm.
Hello, I have a Nexus 7 16Gb. I have been using it for about 20 days. Battery life was amazing. All of a sudden yesterday I noticed that i had a huge battery drain when using it. Installing Battery Calibration from the play store I saw that my maxumum charge was only 4 mV while it should be around 4200 mV. Is there a way to fix it or my battery is faulty. Have in mind that I have rooted it, and I have Codename Android rom, along with motley kernel v 1.1.1. I dont know if its a coincidence but just before I notice that drain I followed that guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30864511#post30864511
Any ideas on how I should proceed?

There's no way it would run on 4 mV.
What app does it say is eating the battery in Settings -> Battery[/b[?

Thank you for your replay. Well i thought of that but the screens dont lie... I am hoping that its a bug. Anyway the drain is real though...

wow..well, apps do mess up sometimes.
and I dunno about everyone else, but to me the "Screen" looks like it's using a ton of battery. do you just leave the screen on all day doing nothing? the next runner up is only at 3%...seems a bit odd to me. Is the brightness all the way up or something?
Anyway if you reflash the stock rom and/or try a different ROM and you still have this problem, I think you will be able to RMA it.
did you get it thru Google Play?
Also, approx how long does the battery last on a full charge?

Well when the screen is about 35% brightness. And I didn't mean the screen is draining battery. I meant when I am actually using the tablet its draining battery faster. I already flashed another rom and its the same. 3mv when its unplagged and 4 mV when its near charged...Do you thing I should flash the official image? I bought it from Tesco in the UK. Will I have a problem changing it?
Edit: Is it possible that the voltage reading is correct and the way its displayed is wrong? maybe the kernel reads 4V, but the app displays it as 4 mV? Any kernel experts? Thanks!
My N7 keeps showing 100% even though it's being used. :\ what's going on

Just wanted to point out, without evidence yet, that battery life on Nougat (Concept update 38.3.A.0.107) is amazing. I'm talking about days here.
¿Anyone else experiencing this?
As for the evidence, I will charge my phone to 100% today and upload a battery life screencap as soon as I can.
What? I need that firmware! My battery goes from 80 to 70 in 5 minutes On screen time!!!
Hi,
Just a quick update with a screenshot. Just 2h short of a day with 14% to go, the mostly horizontal part of the graph happened when I was asleep.
SOT for that is 3h13m

Maybe I'm coming from a terrible phone and this seems very good then.
Nevertheless, I can tell you for sure that my phone isn't dropping 10% batt in 5min SOT.

well now that I have applied some fixes and calibration it isn't in mine either. I am not sure really, but 3 hours of SOT is just not good, and Im coming from a bad phone too
I'm thinking x-reality might be disabled afteryour update. My screen takes up 30 percent battery with x-reality on.
I never havwe x reality on.. seriously yoy think I didnt check it or what

With poison i have more than 6 hours SOT. Without any mods. With the original rom i had 5 and a half hours SOT.
I dont understand.. my phone is brand new, I have optimasations, underclock and everything except wifi is off.. what am I doing wrong? I have also calibrated the battery, full discharge ans full charge, its not any app im using since with stock and. nothing. installed battery runs the same.. Also the camera is worse after the drm fix than before drm fix (too much noise) the hell is wrong with my phone??

you too are in concept rom? because that is standard now battery going way too fast, try installing gsam app and give permissions via adb so you can check which app is consuming too much power, i have done it but i still can't figue out what is causing it

No, I am using the poison nougat rom. Actually, I have been using gsam for 2 weeks I think, just like you I cannot find the problem. My SOT is 3 hours, 4 hours at best. And keep in mind that is with very simple usage , not any intense apps or games

Every phone has these kind of problems
My battery life is shocking. I do use my device a lot so it's understandable.
There is battery tweaks out there to help people with problems. Someone will bring something out or find something for our devices

Correct, but in our case it is beyond normal. 3 hours O-S-T is not normal for this phone in any case

Yeah, I understand what you mean, the problem here is that we do not know if it's connected to software (or somehow to the bootloader / root probably not though) or if it's the actual phone being faulty. I doubt it's faulty, I have absolutely no problems apart from the drainage

Yea I'm the same mate no problem other than battery I'm sure we will find something out soon enough dude
This came up to my mind just now, after all this time, but I'm not certain it is causing the problem since I haven't tried it out (like I said, came to my mind just now,) There is a poll up there, if you are suffering from battery drain please say so.
So here we go.. my phone XX with the latest poison rom is experiencing a weird battery drain that doesn't seem to get fixed by doing anything. I recently stumbled upon an article, about the problems of cutting your SIM card. Well, I did cut my SIM card instead of buying a new one. According to the article, the problematic SIM card could lead to battery drainage. This is my last guess, I don't know how to explain it otherwise. What are your thoughts on this people?
If you are experiencing a battery drain, is your SIM card cut or brand new?
i`ve got battery drain on stock rom (7.1.1) and my sim card is brand new.

I heard that other xperia x users faceing the same problem with the baterry, some models come with fantastic baterry life and others with poor baterry life, i strongli sugest that you replace the baterry.

That is very dissapointing. Sony releasing faulty devices, so it's 50/50 if you get a poor battery or a display with backlight bleed. Maybe that's why they discontinued it.
i found out that logd causes the battery drain, renaming (and disabling it) in TWRP made it much better...

5000mAh battery lasting only for 3 hour's. Definitely your battery damaged.
Still more information is needed for assessment.
Provide the below mentioned information
year's you been using this device ?
Do you use any kind of rogue app like facebook ?
provide a screenshot of battery usage.
Are you rooted or have knowledge of using adb ?
Thank you. Have a great time !

Unfortunately the screenshot that you shared provides no data related to app usage.
You can try few things to troubleshoot but it's time consuming. So if you're interested let me know.

Follow this post for getting idea about battery stats.
First thing is remove all other battery monitoring apps . And just use BBS ( no neee to use amplify now ). Rest follow the post.
