[Q] battery monitor widget result on sg note - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

im trying to compare battery discharge results using "battery monitor widget" app. the lowest sustained batt discharge i got from my note is -51ma while on standby with all connectivity off except voice. ive only installed battery widget monitor and antutu for now aside from stock apps. no config changed from stock 2.3.5 except syncing my google contact, mail and calendar
in comparison with my old moto defy, defy is reaching -13ma/-17ma as its lowest with live wallpaper, facebook and a lot more apps and config changed but still getting the abovementioned battery discharge result. defy is still at stock rom 2.1.
what's yours? would just like to compare since i noticed that sg note's battery discharge is faster while on standby.

I've gotten as low as 9, but I guess 11-12 is normal. I drop my connection to 2g unless I need 3g.

Unless mistaken, the Note is not fully supported by this widget and the mA reported is estimated, thus not really precise and fully reliable.
However, overnight (about 8 to 10H on standby with flight mode ON) I loose 2 to 4% of battery. It's really good !

What is your display power drain?

Maybe my battery is not trained yet, but so far, on my 2-days old n1, battey lasts for 4 hours (mid. backlight, no wifi, very little use).
Still running stock rom and not planning on rooting.
What I noticed is that in my battery drain stats show Display contributing to 80% of total drain. That's with display being on mid setting... is that normal? What is yours (esepecially for people with stock roms)?
Are you playing with the phone a lot? Like is your display always on? 4hrs still seems extream to me, I am rooted and runninng a custom rom, but even when I wasnt I never managed to get through the battery that quickly, and I use the phone a lot
Here's what I do to get good battery... I only keep backlight on like the a ****as hair..lol barely unless outside...... widgets are cool n all, but if there constantly updating thats polling your battery, live wallpapers are cool, but a battery drainer, I also keep gps, locations and bluetooth off unless using them, wifi also.. also the background applications setting uses battery but if ya want updating widgets no way around that...
Also look in seetings about phone, battery use and see what's eating your battery, I use my phone hours at a time so my display is most my battery drain which is normal, everything else is like 7 percent or less, mostly 2 or 3 percent. ....
I think thats all I do, but you may keep stuff on like widgets and that unfortunately eats battery..
I am running everything in my Sig. I have had my N1 for about 2 months now right around that. After a 14 to 16hr day with some heavy to mild usage I am still over 50%, but then again I have 3g turned off and i am only on Edge all the time since i am always around WiFi. So i would tell you 4 hours is a bit extreme but hang in there it does get better. I remember being around 25% for the 1st few weeks until it got better. Other wise do what Temperbad said that is the best way to go. Only widget i am running that updates every hour is my Weather one. Turn the screen all the way down unless it other wise needs to be up. I am sure that is what is killing your battery. Mine is always on the lowest setting until i am outside.
Sadly I'm rooted, but I will state my percentage too.
Weirdly, my display usage is only 15% on Paul's Desire ROM. Honestly I dont see how this may be - but that is what it says. My brightness is quite high too..
Yeah, I'm well aware about widgets and battery drain regarding 3G and all that, I've had PDAs for quite a while.
For comparison, my old and ****ty TP2 would drain about 30-40% of its battery with same usage that would drain my N1 dry.
I do remember that LiIons get better in a week or so of usage, but I wanted to hear what you guys are getting. Would love to hear from someone who's just bought an N1 like me.
It's under full warranty, so I'm not worried too much. Just an inconvenience.

I have my display set to "Auto Brightness," have a display timeout of 1 minute, have my email get synced every hour, and also use a live wallpaper.
My display accounts for 63% of battery usage.
Auto brightness will use more battery than keeping it low. Cause its constantly checking light density through the sensor to give it the correct lighting...

I agree, but disabling that, disabling GPS, WiFi, turning off 3G, killing all widgets.. ok yeah my phone will last me 2 hours longer, but it's also boring as hell.
Might as well go pick up a simple nokia for $10 - battery will last for weeks, but what's the point..
Not saying your advise is bad, it's a good idea.. just that all these advices to turn everything off - what's the point of even having a PDA then..

I've read otherwise, though I don't think that Auto Brightness is the optimal battery saving setting.
Obviously it's a middle ground between max and low.
Here's a report of my usage today:
~Wifi and 3G both turned on the whole time
~30 mins of MP3s with head phones
~20 mins of 3G tethering over Bluetooth
~40 mins of apps usage (mostly the Browser and the Gallery)
~8 mins of talk time
one 1 min update through the bootloader
have gmail sync turned on, also twidroid syncs every 15 mins
The Battery use app shows:
54% Display (active 6% of the time)
16% Cell standby
14% Phone idle
4% Wifi (active 51.6% of the time)
4% Android System
Right now 14h26' since unplugged, still having 43% of the battery left. The battery meter says 12 more hours until 0%.
All things considered, the battery life is quite good on my N1.
Edit: forgot to mention, the display is set to the middle setting with the Power widget, no auto brightness

Wow... that's some serious battery life.
Ok, some questions..
1. screen brightness setting?
2. how long have u had that phone (battery) for? Did it improve over time?
3. Is it rooted/flashed or stock rom?
4. you got any syncing widgets running (RSS/twidroid)? Live wallpaper?
Thanks a bunch for your input!

Just one comment. I keep Wi-fi and GPS on all day because Wi-fi sleeps when the screen is off and only polls when the screen is on if you're not using it. GPS is only used when your location is required in an application. i dont know why people are always like "you have to turn these off to get good battery life" (Notice wi-fi is 2%)
also i've been running 8 hours with moderate to heavy use (internet, music, phone calls etc) and I'm @ 40%. The drain from 70% - 40% seems to go so slow compared to 100% - 70%.

Your right... about the updating widgets and wallpaper, they do make the phone funner.. but why need gps on when not using, or bluetooth, or wifi? Just simply turn them on when using...
So much going on with this phone I can say its good pretty decent battery....
Anyone know how to make my gmail sync every hour instead of instantly?
When I got my Nexus my battery was just as poor, but after using it for a couple of weeks I'm getting about 10 hours usage with medium brightness, WiFi, and gps.
So just give it some time and it should fix it itself.

Your phone or battery is defective. Call HTC for a replacement.

ok, my phone battery life is messed up. Help please

Hi guys, this is not another rant post about battery life, but i'm starting to become really
frustrating with it, i tried almost all the solutions provided here on the forum but i can't
simply get the **** out of it. This is my story:
I bought the phone as used around 1 month ago (the guy who sold me the phone used it for around 1
month as well). I was quite satisfied about the device, but i noticed almost immediately the damn
poor battery life. With stock battery, my stats are (this is an average of the last 3 times i
used it):
Average duration: 27 hours
Average display usage: 2.5 hours
Average display %: around 45%
Average standby: Cell 30%, phone 15-16, other apps and android core 1-2
This with the following configuration:
3g off
gps off
background data off
bluetooth off
display brightness set to the minimum
no background applications or live wallpapers
No animations
No vibration feedback
No sounds
No widgets
Removed 5 touchwiz panels out of 7
Wi fi on (actually i noticed some small improvements by leaving it off)
The strange thing is, i noticed that the phone drains a LOT of battery while in standby. During
the night (7-8 hrs standby) my phone can drains up to 20% of the battery life. I read on the
forum that a lot of you guys have a battery drain overnight of around 2-3% which is 10 times
lower than mine.
So i thought about 2 possible causes:
1) Software related(processes or applications running in background)
2) Hardware related (battery ****ed up by the previous owner; phone not going in standby correctly)
Regarding the problem 1) i tried almost every solution provided here on the forum. Updated to new roms (JM5 and JM8) installed ultraslim roms, installed battery saving applications and task killers, performed some exotic "fixes" (removed battery stats file, tried to completely drain the battery following some procedures explained here on the forum). Nothing helped. To check case 2) i bought a cameronsino extended battery. Well with this battery i have exactly twice the duration of the stock battery. Last night i charged it to full before going to bed. This morning, when i woke up, the phone drained 10% (!) of the battery in 8 hours. So the stock battery is not the problem. What should i think then? that My phone is ****ed up? is There no chance to obtain a decent battery life? How is possible that a lot of guys have almost twice my battery life with stock battery?
I guess your phone may not be going into the sleep mode correctly ... try using system panel (from the market) and figure out which rogue app is causing the problem. Mine usually drains 4-5% at night.. (jm8 stock + voodoo)...

[Q] Battery issues

Ye, my battery just went from 48% to 3% in about 3 minutes. Does anyone have any idea why this is?
Same problem here. From about 43 % down to 7 % while it started to charge the battery with the original charger. Afterwards the Tab didn´t charge at all. Battery drained and got very warm.
I Called Vodafone and was told i have to send the Tab in for fixing. I hate waiting for the tablet 3 weeks.
Update: After 2 hrs. of waiting the Tab cooled down and i was able to start it again. Did a factory reset and was able to charge again with the wall mount charger.
Just wanted to bump this as my battery life is miserable and it discharges really fast in standby...
My HTC desire has been on for 52 hours, used for a lot of stuff and is at 20% battery.
The Tab charges to 100%, I unplug it at night and in the morning it has lost approx 10%, I leave it a few more hours and it't down to around 60%. This is with no use and no apps running!
I've tried killing apps or leaving them in memory and it doesn't seem to make much difference. I also use setcpu and have a profile where the CPU speed decreases when in standby to conserve battery?!
If I charge to 100% and use it constantly, I get fair life out of it maybe 4-6 hours of light use - some streaming over wifi, web surfing, kindle, sudoku etc. If I use it occasionally or heavily though, it dies very quick and if I leave it at about 40% on the evening, it's generally dead in the morning.
Why does it discharge so fast in standby??
Check to see if it continually searching for a signal. I've noticed that mine loses a lot of power constantly searching for a signal, cellular and wifi. So, I used airplane mode to conserve power. Remember that it syncs to different services that require it to periodically download data. That may be your issue.

Thanks Chuck, I use it in airplane mode all the time and only use web over wifi (bought unconnected in the UK). Would it still be syncing for email etc? I didn't think it could turn on wifi and sync itself but only when I turn wifi on. I always turn wifi off when not in use. I had problems with widgetlocker asking for superuser permission quite often and that killed the battery quicker so I removed that until it's fixed and saw an improvement.
I'm not seeing the times that other people are though, losing at least 10% overnight and there's nothing really running.
I installed battery doctor and the times it quotes are high for different types of usage and nowhere near what I'm getting.
I'll make sure email and calendar are set to manual update, adjust brightness etc and see what happens. It seemed better when I first got it so perhaps an app is draining it? I installed system panel to monitor this but it's hard to see what is actually draining it, any recommendations anyone???
Quite disappointed at the moment, ipads barely drop 1% overnight and I'd rather not have to turn it off to conserve battery when it should maintain it in standby...
Check the task manager and see what application are running. Also you can go in settings- about device - battery use to see if a specific application is using your battery out of normal. Also , the display is generally the battery hog, you may have set it to a super high level. One last thing you may have the buggy 3d gallery app, and it will show in the battery usage.
P_
this is an interesting problem. its very similar to the Apple Macbook Air.
The Macbook Air was very thin - very nice looking - however it needed to depend on wifi to do most things.
the association i am trying to build here is this: the Tab needs a bluethooth headset so you dont get all your calls broad-casted over speakers and that could drain the battery a lot.
for me the battery drainage didnt seem so bad and its been on for the last 36 or so hours. the battery icon didnt look like it moved so much and i was impressed considering this thing had a gigantic battery. then i loaded up a utility that read the battery and said i had 59% so my jaw dropped. not only is the battery indicator wrong there maybe rogue processes casuing the battery drainage. and this is on 2.2 which is supposed to be somewhat battery efficient.
i dont know - frustration is what i am all about here with this thing. it seems that every time i buy a new android device i want to move to another android device. no one is getting the damn thing correctly setup.
Am at work right Now, Charged the tab overnight, just few minutes ago my battery said 60% left and now the tab is completely dead, wont turn on, I ll wait until i get home to charge, fingers crossed.

I am experiencing the same thing. Tab on flight mode and charged to 100% overnight. Unplugged at 9am, still on flight mode with no apps running, and it is 88% at 2pm.
12% drop in 5 hours with no usage whatsoever is way too much imo, comparing let say to my HD2, even not in flight mode. Wonder if they have a bad batch of battery for certain tabs........
Just wanna report back after my last post. When the percentage was dropped to 85%, I did a reboot. And guess what, now it displays 95% !!!!!!
5% drop from the morning til now in flight mode seems right and okay. Does it mean the tab is miscalculating the percent left?
PS.
I have been following the voltage in Spare parts this morning. All settings are the same (no apps opened, same screen brightness and in flight mode. Only turn on to record voltage)
94% - 4087mV
91% - 4081mV
88% - 4075mV
85% - 4067mV
But then after the reboot
95% - 4040mV
Man, I am not sure whats going on here........

let me jump in here again and share a similar deli-ma i had with my X10i.
while i was messing around with some custom roms i decided to stick to one that looked somewhat nice. well the funny thing is the battery indicator would always display 100% and for about 4 hours it would drop ever so slightly. then i removed the battery and put it back in -- the battery indicator showed 0% and i got a red light flashing ....
after screwing around with it for a bit i re-flashed the stock firmware from Sony-Ericsson and magically my battery meter and my battery worked fine.
so to sum up -- it maybe a software issue like the one i had on my SE X10i above?

Sleep/Standby Battery Drain

I have seen many posts about the poor battery life on the ADAM when in heavy/normal use. I have seen very bad battery drain just in standby/sleep on all the roms I have tested (Stock Newest build, edenx, and now CM7). SetCpu currently doesn't support profiles but I wonder if the processor still runs heavily even when in standby.
I should note that i usually turn off WIFI when not in use and also background data sync.
Pixel Qi Wifi.
As usual, after unplugging the device in the morning and not touching it for 8+ hours, it has about 50% battery left and battery history shows Phone Standby using all the battery. I guess these quirks will not be resolved until Honeycomb if ever.
Which do you mean "cell standby" or "phone idle"? I have the same model and the battery still drains more than expect overnight, but notas much as 50%. Did you apply a fix to remove cell standby?
Phone idle is what is reported. Here is a more specific example: on battery power for 10 hours today in standby with wifi off and background sync off and the battey is down to 55%. This is not a huge problem but I dont like to leave it on the charger constantly when not in use.
Kill the "phone Idle" <- that's really draining and if you don't use SIP on a WiFi only you can de-install phone and phoneprovider
2 other things you could try,
Install from the market:
"autokiller memory optimizer" and
"Juice defender"
They seem to help for me.
or use BEAST ROM 2.2. My ADAM batterie status is after 23 hours on 36%.

[Poll] Battery Drain On Gingerdx

i just wanna know how much people has battery drain on GingerDX (all version)
pick your Polling here
and tell us why your battery drain
Gdx is really sucking my battery,but u can install the supercharger script for longer battery discharge
Sent from my X8 using xda pertamax
wow
a lot people have battery drain
Yesterday, I've observed huge battery drain during the day .. about -15%/hour while doing some basic tasks on the phone (email, IM, inet browsing). Later, I've found out, that auto brightness was set way too high and had to manually decrease the brightness levels. After that, power consumption dropped to about -5-7%/hour while doing the same tasks as before. The display value in battery use menu also dropped from 70% to 30%.
The idle battery drain is OK... about -1%/hour with only GSM network on.
IMHO if your x8 battery is draining too fast, check doixanh's FAQ and then check the brightness levels...
Hi,
I'm afraid that the battery consumption is not related to GingerDX itself but to the additional software and phone usage.
In order to improve battery life in GingerDX do the following:
1. REMOVE or freeze Google Maps (ownhere). Use a different software instead (like maverick pro 1.94, which has google maps enabled and it is not consumig your resources)
2. Also, you may want to remove dsp manager (use the built in equalizer in your favorite music player instead).
3. Disable data MANUALLY. Use the built-in power widget to disable mobile data when you're not using it. Don't use automated 3g disable software because it will drain your battery too.
Your battery should last for 2+ days with normal phone usage. No need to mess with the good working autobrightness, you can leave it on.
FroyoBread:
1d 7h 29m since unplugged - 71% battery left
That's pretty good, isn't it? (Sorry for "offtopic")
hello everyone, i just think that battery callibration and some apps freezed is enought for the battery drain... some apps like gmail, maps, maybe market..
for me the battery drain is normal
i´m using gingerdx V011
Wow Still battery drain use this Doixanh Suggestion
Clear battery stats in xRecovery
Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
Don't set brightness too high
Don't install too many unused apps.
Turn off WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when unused
Turn OFF LED Succession. It's turned of by default, but maybe there are some people still leaving it on.
Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past) for me, even when I stopped listening to music.
Hi. Im using GDX v012 and I don't know if I'm having a battery drain..... in last night battery drop about 17-20% in standby... with all the things off (wifi, data, gps).
So, i went to check the graphs and i noticed that the cell was active during all night....
somebody can tell me why?
and second, maybe the battery drop a little faster because of my signal strength.. but not so fast....
GDX v012, DSPManager manually pushed back into the system and Google Maps + Streetview from the Market (can't live without it); apart from the apps I already had installed.
Depending on the usage of my phone (calls, WiFi, GPS) I get 1-3 days on a charge.
Mind you, I don't use the phone for listening to music or watching video [EDIT] or gaming; that's where my Liberty Tab G100 (mod-flashed into a Iconia A500) performs a whole lot better thanks to the Tegra 250 chipset and faster CPU [/EDIT].
I did a test and found that it consumes my battery is the signal strength that is weak in my location....
when i put my phone in airplane mode during all night, battery has not decreased even 1% ...
i have many apps installed, including maps etc etc
GingerDX v012
Yea, I kinda just upgraded to GingerDX v012, from v010. Somehow I missed v011.
Anyway, I realised that v012 drains my battery a lot more than v010. I wonder why.
Just today, in 3 hours of idle mode, my battery drained from 80% to 60%. That's alot o.o
Any tips on how to reduce this battery drain problem?

When I first discovered just how limited it was I regretted buying my phone. Then I discovered froyobread (which I used for 1 day) before updating to gingerDX v13. Stoked!!!!!!! My battery drains pretty badly though. I have quite a few apps installed and use live wallpaper so I guess I can put up with it. I need my koi carp dammit! lol
My battery was draining 20% to 30% an hour on idle mode with bluetooth, 3g and wifi off. Turned on Airplane mode and now it drains around 2%-4%.
Any ideas on how can i improve the battery life without having to turn on airplane mode?
displays drain my battery 90% omg
when i check what uses battery it indicates 90% on display
my phone only last for about 8 hrs doing nothing just in idle mode
i follow all the instruction but it failed (

I tested it and got no significant results.
The change in values doesn't seem to improve battery life...
Using GingerDX 013, so far no battery drain. Yet i have noticed, that it's the cell standby that uses the most power. Although it drains 1% in 2-4 hours depending on quality of signal in my region. Usually everything's off and i have the supercharger v8 script installed. Also applied the smartass tweaks to save battery time as well. And i kill all unnecessary processes after using apps.
small update: Current uptime is 3d 22h as of this point and i still have 21% battery left. And i've drained over 15% when i was meddling with the supercharger settings. Otherwise regular use - phone calls, messages, some tinkering and wifi usage.
status update: standby was 4d 14hrs to 6% including the 15% drained when trying to set up supercharger. So it is possible it can do 5 days with small use and 6+ without any use at all.
