Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Also my display is using 59% of the battery consumption but I have it turned all the way down.

As of right now I'm just rooted with the update.zip, I did lag fix but unlag fixed shortly after. Didn't have this problem when I was stock battery actually listed a good amount time.
There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.
My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.
What can I do to fix this? I have rooted and installed lag fix from this link
I had the same issue before applying ryanza one click lash fix. My battery now lasts aboutlag 2 days. Which lag fix did you apply ?

I know this doesn't help... but my phone is stock and with normal battery management practices I'm not having any real problems... However, I'm really used to my blackberry which could be left on forever without using any battery at all.

Yea compared to my last two smartphones, the vibrant battery life is no worse. It's definitely better than the n900. But no smart phone's battery life has compared to my blackberry's I used to use.

N900 to vibrant and man what a difference. N900 battery life was absolutely horrible.

I reset the phone and applied the raynza lag fix. I'll test it out and see how battery reacts. Thanks!
Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.

I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

i been having the same problem since i have rooted my device i dont know what else to do.... i am getting a new battery next week lets see how that works out. but i don't think its the battery
Hey guys,I have seen some things with my GS2's battery that aren't exactly what you'd call normal.Let me explain:
Today,I plugged my phone it at about 45% battery for some minutes(I was gonna be away from home for a long time,so I wanted some extra unneeded juice) and unplugged it just before I left the house at 58%.I was en route to the bus station when I checked the time(I was late as always! ) to see I had 59% battery.After some twenty minutes,when I reached my destination,I took my phone out of my pocket to make a call just to see that my battery was at 61%! After that all was normal.
This was the third time I experienced something like that.First time was more impressive.I went to the cinema with 38% battery and left with 50%!All without plugging the phone anywhere!
Now,I know I shouldn't be complaining about something like that,but something must be wrong here.If everything wrong was like that I'd be a happier man,but just sayin'.
Any ideas?Or is my phone unique in that aspect?
Sounds like bad calibration to me. Let the battery drain till the phone turns itself off, then charge it (while off) till full.

Me wants . With that said its probably bad calibration

Definitely calibration problems here. The screenshot below explains what happened with my SGS2. This was the first charge out of the box. Plugged it in and at first, the charge went up steadily. Then, BOOM, 100%. Disconnected charger, and after some time noticed phone was off - battery was at 0% in under 2 minutes.
It's OK now. I'm getting 2+ days of use on a single charge.
same here. my battery-percentage also raised once while using the unplugged phone. then I turned it off and charged it. since then everything is fine.
Too bad.I thought I was like the guy from Infamous or something!
Thanks for your replies guys.Will callibrate and report.Although the Android OS drainage persists still...

Hey I've searched for help on the subject all over and. I'm not seeing anyone with this problem, on the contrary everyone seems to be doing better.
Anyway I got the OTA update to 4.2.2 from the. General forum a few days ago and flashed it without much consequence and everything seemed fine. I reaquired my root but I have noticed my battery is losing charge way too fast doing light browsing and use.
Checking battery use I got 2 hours of screen time with 30% of the battery and again this has been simply browsing sites with pure text. As I'm writing this it went from 70% to 68%
To list a few key things that have happened that might be important and I'm hoping anybody can help or give advice.
1) I stupidly forgot to wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the update, when I remembered I went to recovery and did this
2) I rerooted
3) On Friday I fell asleep using it and when I woke up it was completely drained, honestly I don't even remembered what I was doing cause I had a bit too much wine but I think I was playing an emulator and when I woke up it wouldn't even turn on so I charged it back to 100%
As I write this now I think back and problem seems to have started then.
I tried re flashing a backup, which didn't help and I flashed franco kernel reading it gave good battery.
My last idea is simply reverting back to stock and see if it helps but before that I wanted to check some opinions or advice here.
PS I have already used BBS and its finding nothing wrong in wakelocks or use (except something called AudioOut2)
As I finish this im down to 66%, definitely not normal.
Any help is appreciated.

Having the same problem.
Didn't even make it to work and was below 50%. Weird.

Did you at some point let it drain completely to 0% after updating to 4.2.2?
If nobody has any idea ill just go back to stock and report results.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Well if anybody has a similar issue or cares, going back to stock seems to have fixed the issue. Regardless I did some light testing on the battery. It shows marginal better perfomance on 4.2.2
By switching Kernel there was no change it seems but then again the test only covered two activities perhaps with further comparissons better results would be gotten.
But long story short if anybody has this problem apparently going back to stock is the way to go.
I'll keep a careful eye on the battery and gauge on regular use and if it happens again have a better idea of what caused it.
Its a program that's running or not completely shutting down.
Torrent was my issue. Uninstalled rebooted and then reinstalled.
My battery life is good now.all day and still over 80%.

Well I have encountered a completely new problem lately.
In the last week this has happened 3-4 times. I leave it charging or simply on deep sleep for a while and when I try to turn it on it won't, I'm not sure if its shutting down since when I plugged it in (thinking battery had drained) not battery charging animation came up, instead I left the power button pressed and it came up with whatever charge it had.
Not sure if its a side effect of the original problem of the battery discharge or something to do with torrent clients as 3 of the total times it has happened I was downloading something and left it running.
Not sure what to do at this point since I find no info on this or it happening to anybody else. What I find are things like it not charging etc which really arent my issues.
I will avoid using torrents on it for a few days and see if it happens again, if it does I will seriously have to consider contacting Google or Asus since this device doesn't even have 90 days in my possession yet.
If anyone is following this (really just posting here to help anybody who finds the same problem and as a sort of journal) I found this post on the kernel im running thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38422891&postcount=4603
Somebody replied to that post stating its a 4.2.x problem
It could also be a kernel problem with torrents as further down the posts another person complains about the same happening when using a bittorrent client
I'll post with whatever I find out.
I've been having the same problem glad to see it isn't just me.

Hi Chaps, Since my upgrade to 4.2.2 I thought the battery life was great. It stayed at 100% for ages and when I was streaming music for a few of hours and the battery only went to 96%. Superb I thought..
But, yes there is a but. My N7 now shuts down when the battery is at 32% and I need to charge it to get it to reboot as it is well drained. Is it possible to zero the battery indicator or recalibrate it for an accurate reading? TATA R.

Battery calibration, which should be done rarely, is merely a matter of putting your device through one complete charge/discharge cycle. Don't waste your time with battery calibration apps, as they are 100% snake oil. Likewise, you can disregard any misinformation about wiping battery stats, as that has absolutely no bearing on battery charge indication.
Try unplugging your battery for a few minutes, and then plug it back in, ensuring that the connector is firmly seated.
Getting pissed off here. N7 shuts down at 42% now. WTF. Is this a 4.2.2 problem? If so how do I revert back to an earlier version?

I am seeing reduced battery life on 4.2.2...
I used to be able to go all day on a charge. Now I can't make it through the evening ...
I know that is subjective as I didn't indicate my prior usage compared to my current usage pattern.
But my perception is that battery life has degraded ...
As an aside, I noticed that an el-cheapo IKEA power strip didn't provide enough juice to keep the battery from draining further while using it when plugged in...
It plugged in at 20% and kept using the N7... awhile later I was in the mid-teens.
I don't use that power strip any longer....

Now some of us have had the phone for a few days or in the case of our German friends, a week, can we start to collaborate some stats together about the battery usage?
Post in here screen shots of your (Epic) Battery stats, or not so epic as the case may be, screen on time, hints and tips on improving daily usage, what Rom you are using if Rooted etc.
Here is a current shot of mine, charged to 98%, then data etc turned off about 1am, phone left switched on, then data, wifi etc turned back on this morning. Currently 1 hr 15 mins screen on and 67% battery left after 18hrs.

should have left everything switched on!
im not someone who feels they should have to turns bits and pieces on and off in order to make my phone last the day.
if it lasts a good long day with decent usage throughout, thats good enough for me!
Plenty of time for that usage test, i just decided to turn it all off last night while drunk to see what was used by the morning, it lost 1% during the night, granted it was only about 6 or 7 hours. I think general use stats will shape up quite nicely on this phone.
EDIT:
Power save on at the moment as well, CPU Power, Display and Vibration checked, Data connection unchecked.
Closing in on 39hrs here at the moment. :victory:
I have a question for the Germans, where exactly have you got your One?
My parents are at Berlin right now. (without taking me :crying: ) I may still benefit from their trip (besides an empty house).

Browsing, texts, calls, light usage i know, but i still have my One X in use as well while my number is ported.....currently standing at almost 2½ hrs screen on, over 44hrs on battery.
Tomorrow will start normal usage trial with no wifi on and data etc on all the time. I'm trying to see what i can get out of it, and then what i can't.
Okay, this where i got to with my stats. Today i will try for more normal usage and see what i can get with that.

Here is a shot of my first normal day, not massively epic but not too bad, no power saver until maybe the last 1 hour or so.
This includes Bluetooth car connection, some calls, lots of whstsapp and facebook. Small bits of web browsing, 20 to 40% brightness. Photos in the evening and then lots of foruming the last few hours.

For people who arent rooted - use gsam battery monitor.. post the normal page showing the big clunk battery with the screen time
Also post the battery history page from gsam or from htc..
Also post the app sucker page..
For rooted people- use better battery stats.. post kernel wakelock, partial wakelocks and alarm pages on here along with the battery history.. then everyone will get an idea how the battery works and people will even help you to find which apps cause wakelocks...

if my battery has any probs then it'll not charge upto peak i've chk the Vltg levels too...
I dont think so that battery has any probs coz before calibration on that particular ROM I was getting exact flow from 100% to 0%.....so after that calibration m getting that drops so Do I make a clean install or remove the battery profile.....how to remove that battery profile n make a new one?...
Ok, instead of reading around to fix your problem you made a new thread about the same thing.
There is a thread "battery drops explained", just a little down this very page that explains it all. If your battery is >1,5 old, it's getting worn.
Li-Io batterys have a lifetime (end of life is when it only has 80% of it's capacity left) of 500-700 charges. Nowadays people charge their phones at least every two days. Do the math. You'll see some more batterydrops at 20% and 70% (I think), the sum of these drops is how much juice your battery has lost permanently.
