Battery

Ok... What are all of you doing for your battery life? I just watched that video from the guy who showed the SetCPU and stuff and don't believe his battery is that good. My phone has been off the charger for 20 minutes and Klaxon was running and it is down 5% already AND I have the 1600 mAh Seidio battery. It just isn't possible. Android is a battery hog. I've messed with SetCPU and noticed nothing different. I have the sleep profile set to like 245/3xx and I messed with the advanced settings. What do you guys have your advanced settings at? I have the screen brightness on auto and I don't use twitter/facebook/news. The only data all day is my Touchdown e-mail and weather updates as far as automatic goes. Can someone please shed some darn light here? For the whole day at work I have full 3G and Bluetooth is on, but no WiFi. Any help, PLEASE?

Do you get good reception at work? Bad reception wastes battery life.
Have you tried running the phone down to a low 5-10%, wiped battery stats in amon's recovery, powered off, and given a full charge to help reset it? This can help.
You dont have that notification in succession stuff going that keeps you in a wake lock state right?

Seconding the recommendation to wipe the battery stats.

How do I change notification in succession? I'm on the latest Cyanogen which I believe included that. Also, how do I install the UV .33 Kernel - will that help? And where is the amon's recovery to wipe stats?
Thanks for all of the help!
EDIT: From Modaco's kitchen, I did Cyanogen - so is that the kernel I want. And nvm, I do know where the wipe battery stats is. Brain fart. So I should leave it charing while off?

Check this out - are we sure Klaxon isn't doing any damage? Or is there anything else of concern here.

I got the two extra batteries and external charger for $20 bucks from China off ebay. They work phenomenally. I haven't ruled out the possibility that they are giving me some kind of terminal illness though.

What was the benefit of the external charger, battery last longer? if so much better than before?

welp. When the current battery cruds out, I pop a fresh one in, and then the empty one goes into the external charger.
I got the extra batteries originally for long trips etc, but this current system seems to be working fantastic.

Man what do you recommend to make your battery last LONG..

After I installed setcpu, my phone is getting an additional 1/2 day of life...so something must be eating your battery!

All of the above. I've been on MCR, Desire and now CM. I've just installed the .7 kernel and am reverting to the stock battery to see how that does. More to come.

2 - one Seidio 1600 and one stock 1400. I just threw the stock one in and will wipe Battery Stats as soon as it hits 100% and then see how it goes tomorrow. Should I be using SetCPU or no since I am on the .7 Kernel?
Thanks

I never rooted so couldn't recommend what to do. But if you know its not tested then don't. Use a supported kernal always to minimize your problems and headaches..

I haven't rooted yet. I did the turn off notifications thing and get a sms program from the market thing. worked wonders.

setCPU profile to screen off max power is 245, UV kernel, I get around 50 hours use.

Aos y u no

How can his battery be fine? He lost 69% due to a bug and he's supposed to get excited?
Let me guess: this means his device is entering DEEP SLEEP, right?

100% is the maximum
therefore if we assume a basic scenario with three things using this 100%, lets say:
Android OS - 50%
Display - 30%
Something else - 20%
Total = 100%
Now, if we do not turn on the device's screen, the next result will be something like:
Android OS - 75%
Something else - 25%
Total = 100%
Does this mean that Android OS is now using more power? NO!
What this means is that Android OS has used a larger percentage of the power used BECAUSE THERE ARE FEWER PROCESSES GOING ON!!
In the above example, the total amount of power used has actually fallen.
But the genius folk who complain about Android OS (AKA idiots) all of a sudden believe that Android OS is now using more power and start moaning like a bunch of little girls. As you can see from some elementary mathematics... this is a load of b*ll*cks.
Do you understand now?

Oh oh, effin' manual right?
so tell me, wise guy, have you heard of DVM ( sorry, aka Dalvik Virtual Machine) and native/core libraries?
I bet you already know everything that is to know about them an you're ok that those, along the kernel drivers< let me enumerate for you, so you don't have to wake your brain from deep sleep and wait for the 1 sec lag: display, camera, wifi, keypad/keyboard(if present),audio, flash mem, BinderIPC DRIVERS and power management> are grinding so much battery that it depletes in , let's say, 20 hrs.
Well, my hat's off to you, sir. You hold the power and the knowledge to be perfectly satisfied with what others don't understand.
As for the one that suggested to buy the Sensation and quotes the display off analogy, what could I say more? He explained how battery works so I'll buy the Sensation or whatever he wants after he explains how magnets work.

You have no apps installed.

I have, only 96 apps though. We all have different usages.

Alright, if the percentage doesn't say anything, why don't they use another measures? Like mAh or other units.
Also these 15 hours WiFi was turned on most of the time. I used to turn the screen on and check Facebook/Google+/browse for 2-5 minutes, every 30-60 minutes. So let's just say the display was on for about two til three hours over this 15 hour period. Compared to 19% for the display I would say 50% is A LOT for AOS/CPU usage.

On a 2-3hr usage, at the AOS is THAT high its pretty much a LOT! Look at how low my AOS is compared to Andriod system, heck even cellstandby is taking up more power.

Nice uptime, but I guess you don't use packet data OR talk to friends/ppl because after all it is a PHONE you have at your possession.
So it seems imo that you AREN'T a normal user like the most of us, making phone calls and receiving them in avg per day, which is about 1 hour (call and receive) and letting packed data being online.
Correct me if I am wrong about this analysis.

Without seeing your wake bar and wakelock stats its hard to have any idea what your phone is doing.
Try using better battery stats(link in my sig) to see if you have any out of place wakelocks.

Terrible Battery Life

Hey guys. I know XDA is filled with battery threads, and I've done numerous searches around the forums and across the internet. Nothing seems to be helping me.
Recently, the battery life on my Nexus 4 hasn't been so great. I've attached a few screenshots of GSAM. Any ideas on what is causing the significant drain? I'm down 15% in 1 hour and have barely touched my phone. Using stock 4.4.2, rooted with some Xposed modules (none of which seem to correlate to being installed near the time of the battery life becoming crap).
Here is a dump from GSAM as well: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6uo3q5059mcwhu/02-26-14.txt
Edit 2: After just over 4 hours, I'm down to 50% with a ton of wakelocks. This is the part that I can't find any helpful info about. Here's the new log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tv01k9tbmo38gbv/02-26-14 2.txt
Edit: Trying to fix the images yet again:

You know, I haven't ever on this device. I had on my Samsung Captivate and Nexus S, but have yet to use any sort of battery calibration on my Nexus 4. And now that you mention it, I've had some strange behavior with going from 35% to 25% rapidly, rebooting, and then having it at 30%.
Do you think it's worth a shot? If so, any good apps for this? When I did it on old devices, I just used the CWM option to delete battery stats and then charged/discharged fully. Seems that TWRP (which I have installed) doesn't have this option.

Thanks a lot, hopefully this works!

what the app does it deletess batterystats.bin
but google already stated that its just placebo, this file is only for the batteryicon
thats why cwm removed it.
second those wakelocks are just seconds. so its normal
third. do you have any sync service?(skype,facebook,email, or even google) if so
try disabling temporaly
if dosent work you may wanna try the xposed + xposed module called disable critical shutdown
then wait till phone turns off and charge for minimum 8hours
if not
change rom/kernel
if still not
its your battery(if so, and you still have warranty, you can get an rma if you live in a google area or get money back if you live in a area where lg controls,or buy another battery

Hadn't read about it being a placebo, thanks for the info. I downloaded BBS and think the issue is actually the (common) msm_hsic_host issue. It had several hours today. I'm flashing Matr1x kernel right now, so we'll see if that takes care of the issue.

Try going back to stock android and check the performance. It can be that one of the Xposed modules is causing you the problem.

Btw That was an old screenshot I just had in my gallery from not long after I got the phone.

Ive gotten 34 hours out of it so far im really impressed

I have the moto Maxx, Mexican firmware. I´m from Argentina.
Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!

Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much

I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.

Serious battery life problem after update yesterday

So guys, I love my S7 edge, as I'm sure a lot of you do, but after the update yesterday my battery life has taken a serious dive in the wrong direction.
Turns out its the Bluetooth, except I haven't used Bluetooth all day, I've been at work, where I only look at it a few times a day.

Funny thing is, bluetooth was never on.

Damn if restarting or clearing system cache in recovery mode doesn't work you might need to do a factory restore

I was thinking "Oh great, yet another dude complaining about losing 5 minutes of his 8 hour SOT", but I'll admit this is a weird issue, especially if you haven't enabled or used bluetooth at all. Have you checked with a different logger, like Gsam?

Yeah I'm not the type to moan about poor SOT. The battery life on this phone is among the best. But yesterday was just terrible. Seems today it is doing better. Only time will tell.

I also have battery life issues after the APD1 update. Whereas before the phone had no problem lasting 48 hours, now it struggles to last 36 hours (Exynos here). I hate these stupid updates: notification LED is dimmer under most light conditions, battery life now sucks...thanks, Samsung !

I know you are going to hate this, but do a factory reset. Pain in the ass I know, but your battery will be back. Happened to me on the last update. I was relieved after the reset.

Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk

Is your phone at&t?

Here's a thought, I also had pretty "bad" battery life after the previous update, and then it got back to normal after I re-enabled the stock Samsung apps that I had previously disabled, so enable them again and let them be for a day or two and see if you notice any changes. This doesn't apply to your bluetooth issue, but I just thought of this now.

if you have app backup set up through google it should be automagic

Im in the same boat... but i did a factory reset when i installed echo rom. My battery is lucky to get 9hrs with 4hrs screen time. Befoee the update i was getting 14hrs battery with 8.5hrs screen time. Its the 3rd day today so ill see how it goes cos i know it can take a while for thr phone to settle

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I've experienced exactly the same thing with this update - was getting about 48hrs with just shy of 6 hours screen on time. I have a long weekend coming up, so I'll see how it goes and then restore if I think it needs it.
I typically use Ultra Power Saving Mode overnight. It lost 13% last night in about 9hrs. I would have been disappointed with anything more than about 2%. So hopefully a reset will fix this because I've been loving the battery mode up to this point!!!!

that backs up the apps, but not the "app data" which is a internally saved to the phone itself.

Basically my "Android System" usage went from 2-3% to 17-19% after this update. On the Exynos. So now the Exynos is now as bad as the SD820 at battery life.
I will reset my phone to factory right now, if this does not solve it (and I highly doubt it) then my only option is to flash the old APC8 firmware (it's possible to do it without rooting, right ?)

Use Samsung's own Smart Switch Windows application to take the backup.. It backs up everything, your Msgs, Contacts, Documents, Images/Videos, Apps and their settings..
