So this problem has been going on for the past 2 days, and its very perplexing. Any help would be much appreciated.
For whatever reason, my phone has stopped automatically turning off after X minutes.
I'm talking about when you go into Start, Settings, System tab. There's options for automatically turning off the backlight after X amount of minutes (one option for when its using battery, another when its on AC Power).
The backlight auto off works just fine. After 1 minute, the screen goes semi-dark, but not blank.
What's not working is the Power setting, where you go to Power, then Advanced, and then both battery power and external power, you can have the device turn off if not used for X minutes. I've tried 1, 2 5, 10, and none of them seem to work.
The device only turns off the backlight, but then remains on, draining the battery at incredible speed. I need to manually keep hitting the hardware power button on the right side of the device to get the screen to go off completely.
Any help, ideas, suggestions? Thanks!

Are you running custom or stock rom, have you thought about possibly doing a hard reset. besides adjusting those settings have you tried something else. Was anything instlled just before this started if so what....I know thats alot of questions but it might help..
I thought dimming the screen was the manufacturers idea of turning off....mine has done that since day one. I too have tried everything and thought that was normal.
Hmmm, Mine dimms then turns off IE: 1 Min to turn off I'd say 30 Seconds it dimms and 30 seconds later it turns off.....
I'm using a stock ROM, havent installed anything "new" in the past few days. I normally run a bunch of various programs though, but I wasnt having this issue before.
I did a hard reset. Everything was fine. Then I ran a backup and it reinstalled all my programs/files/settings, and issue returned.
So its obviously being caused by oen of the programs I use, I just dont know which I guess.
Edit- Upon further investigation, I *think* its Palringo. I removed it completely, and everything seems to be ok again
Hey guys just like we all i suffered from the insane battery drain in CM7 with my lovely Vibrant. But yesterday night i found a cure that gives me now great battery life - almost like a 2.2 rom.
What i did?
I googled around and found this post:
1. Open up the dialpad, and type:
*#*#4636#*#*
(the numbers are for 'info'; don't press call, it should automatically go to a 'Testing' menu)
2. Go into 'Phone information'
3. Press Menu, and select 'Select radio band' (this will result in a force close, but that's what we want.. just keep going.)
4. Go back into 'Phone information' and scroll down to the bottom'. It will probably still say 'CDMA auto (PRL)', but the problem is this is probably a visual glitch. Or it might say 'Unknown'. Either way, switch it to something else, then switch it back to 'CDMA auto (PRL)'. Then you can turn off the radio and turn it back on with the button right underneath that.
5. At this point, the fix has been applied, but it would be a good idea to clear the battery stats to get a fresh start. So boot into recovery and do that, then reboot. The fix *should* stick after this reboot, but I think it didn't when I first did it. But assuming it does, then you're golden. It will be like this for all other reboots. If it does not, then just do it again. You can tell if it worked if when you go into battery usage, and go into cell standby, the TWS% is much lower. I charged mine completely overnight after applying this fix and have been off the charger now for over a half hour and TWS% is still at 0% (even though cell standby is at 46% (but that's not a problem at all..), and my battery is still at 100%
My Vibrant gives me now GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) as network type.
So let me know whether it works for you too or not.
For me its asesome, since i can enjoy CM7 all day long ;-)
Seems to be working fine for me, would I have to do this for every nightly.

great find +1 the battery life of cm7 drove me away to a JVQ rom but imma try this find and use it!
I don't know if the cure will work for me, too. I found out that my device doesn't enter deep sleep, so even when I'm thinking it's sleeping, it is not.
The process Android System keeps it awaken. At least it did in #54 and other recent builds. It completly depletes my battery like me drinking lemonade.
Does it sleep for you?
I like this. I can actually stream music while charging without slowly losing charge.
I'm going to try this and see what happens
Hope this gets run through Atinm.

I hope this works, but when i first went to phone info and did radio band, it asked for country, i choose usa, it didnt FC thou, then when my setting was already GSM/CDMA (prl) . I will report back tommorow how it goes. thanks
I'm guessing the same would apply to MIUI?
It definitely seems to be doing something. My signal hasn't dropped below the full four bars yet, which is weird considering it's normally around 1 or 2. The phone also seems to go to sleep faster, but that could be placebo.

yes i tried this it didnt seem to work for me i dont think i got it to stick on im gona try it again
didnt get Force closed at the select radio band. Now what should I do?
on Miui I had to select Turn Radio Off first, then it forced closed and now it seems to stick when I change radio bands. Just turn on/off radio a few times and it should help.

Thanks! Finally I got it to force closed and I did everything else. But I went into cell standby I saw my TWS% is 71 when my cell standby is only 21%. Is that a problem?

I had this same problem. Apparently alot of others did too, but no one seems to have a solution that I have seen.

Effect of USB Charging on CPU Idle Utilization CM7
First, this test was performed on nightly #55 with KB5 baseband. I have performed this on KA7 as well and found the results to be similar.
I am very sensitive to my battery utilization. In turn, I am also a very frequent charger. Even if I'm at 80%, I feel I must plug my phone in as soon as possible. Because of this, there is hardly a time where my phone is on during a session in which it had never been on usb. This changed, however, this last weekend. I was playing around with KA7 vs KB5, and was away from my computer and charger. Later, when I reviewed my cpu utilization during idle time, I was shocked to see that the phone was just sipping the battery. Less than 1% utilization in System panel.
My initial reaction was "KA7 is amazing." However, the next morning, battery usage appeared to be the same as normal. On a hunch, I wondered if it was possible that it was the charging that is causing issue. As we all know, when the phone is plugged in, cpu utilization is fairly high (~30%), and some even report the battery getting hot (in some cases, even to reboot the phone). But -- is it possible that even after you unplug, there is some lingering "stuff" happening that will not go away, regardless of how long you idle?
What I did was simply charge my phone fully, unplug, reboot. I consistently find that my phone will go in and out of very low cpu utilzation state when I do this. If I go into airplane mode, I will even see full sleep state with no green bars in System panel (not that I would do this, as I like to USE my phone).
I am very curious if some of you may be able to try this experiment and report back. If this is confirmed, I wonder if there may be a way to determine what is getting stuck and robbing our cpu cycles after the phone is unplugged from charging.
Attached are four screenshots:
syspanel_pre_reboot_8hr.jpg: showcasing the long overnight charge, followed by very low activity, yet with >3% cpu utilization while idle. (by wall charge, though this has shown to be the case via computer usb charging as well)
syspanel_pre_reboot_2hr.jpg: a closer look at the idle time after the charge.
syspanel_post_reboot_8hr.jpg: A big picture view of the charging, the reboot, and the subsequent idle time. The first thing I did once the phone booted was download and install several app updates from market. I wanted to stress the phone before letting it fall back to idle.
syspanel_post_reboot_2hr.jpg: here you can see the lower idle cpu utilization on the phone. Initially there is activity as I updated apps from the market, and then it fell to hover around ~1%.
This behavior can be replicated and repeated on my phone every time. I was hoping someone with logcat experience may be able to help me define a filter so that we can see exactly what processes plugging the phone into usb starts, compared to which it terminates when unplugged. If we were to find this, I would suspect it could be added to the code itself.
THAT is what I'm experiencing TOO.
I have tried that fix. When entering the "select radio band" it doesn't force close. I just see "EURO Band" , "USA Band" etc...
also on the bottom it says "GSM only".
Is the fox already applied for me?
I'm using TRIGGER (CM7 based).

no i have the same problem for some reason i cant get this fix to work either
Gave it a try, will see what happens. Battery life is now the only bummer on CM, if this solves it, I'll be a happy guy.
My phone under a full charge will go off. The problem is, there's no pattern, it will turn off because of different apps, sometimes in a middle of drafting a text message, or while using twitter. So I ruled out the possibility of being apps that causes issue.
When phone off, and when I attempt to turn it back on the phone will not get passed the boot animation, sometimes it will, and will automatically shutdown right after. There are times it will stay on pass the lockscreen and go no further unless plugged.
There are too many inconsistencies in battery life, if phone goes off at a given percentage, it will not display even close to the same battery level after reboot.
At first I thought it might be the ICS ROMs (CM9 by elk... and Ice Cold Insomnia by Cnote...) then I reverted to CM7.2 RC1, but I get the same problem across the board.
I downloaded a battery drainer app from the market. Will drain battery til I get 0%, then will spend an hr or more charging phone til its full, while it remains on. I timed the amount of time it takes to turn off under ICS or GB, no consistency at all. Anyone has suggestions as to what might be happening to my phone?
Hey guys,
searched the web and the forums, with no result
I got a brand new G2 this thursday (thought why pay double for a G3 for features I don't need). After unpacking it I plugged it in and waited, until the LED turned green, aprox. 2 hours or so, and then turned it on the first time. I fiddled around with it a bit, was very pleased with the phone, then decided to update everything. On friday I went to work with it, played around with it every now and then, and around lunch time I noticed, that the battery showed 100% in the status bar. Wow, I thought, that's battery life :silly:
An hour later, the phone just turned off... and 'cause I realize you dont want to hear my life's story I will make it shorter now:
Phone didnt react to anything, plugged it in, battery logo appeared: 100%, turned it on (battery 100% in the status bar), turned it off and on (still 100%) let it load for a while, unplugged it, used it for a while, always 100%...
So no matter what I do, it always shows 100%. Turned itself off again since then. When I go to settings -> battery, in the field where it wants to show me the remaining time on battery, it just says "gathering battery info, please wait" (or something alike). Tried several battery apps, all showing me 100%.
Can anyone make something out of this?
Also, everytime when I turn the phone on, it shows me a message, that some process com.google.gapps (or so) was closed. When I delete the Cache of the play store then the message does not appear on the next restart, but on the 2nd restart after that it is there again...
@martinowski - Here I have to ask a few basic questions: Is everything still stock as it came out of the box?
Not Rooted or rommed we assume?
It might be a HW fault requiring a return to seller.
Have you tried a 'Factory Reset" under 'Settings" / "Backup and Reset"
If that doesn't work I would return to seller before doing anything else - you do not want to risk your warranty!(assuming you have one):silly:
Everything is stock out of the box... I already assumed I would have to return it, but wanted to get a second opinion.
And yes, I did a factory reset, didn't work.
Always bad luck with my phones, now I am back to my one s with home button bug...

Hi everyone!
Recently, for reasons of having a fast and economical mobile, I bought a second-hand Moto X Play XT1563 Latin American version.
The first problem I noticed is that the battery tends to go to 0% even while charging. It can go to 70%, or 50% or whatever percentage. Or if I open the camera after a few seconds it goes to 0%.
What happens, when I start the phone in "Factory Mode" after it "dies", it works without problems. And it still maintains the battery percentage with which it went out. And if I try to turn it on normally, just before the Bootanimation is finished, the low battery sound sounds and then it shows the "Turning off" and turns off.
Also if I put it to load off, it shows the percentage with which it went off. I turn on the phone normally and it shows the percentage, but when disconnected after a few seconds it does the same thing of going to 0%.
I thought it was because the previous owner never updated Nougat, I have read that the ROM of 6.0.1 gives a lot of problems, so I updated it to see if it was the problem and it has not solved it. I tried putting the Kernel "Squid R23" to see if it was Kernel Stock problem and nothing.
It should be noted that I do not have the Motorola Turbo charger, I use one of 5V 1.5A. And it takes about 2 or 3 hours to charge. And it is downloaded two hours later, I don't know if it also has to do with it. Although it still seems strange to me that "Factory Mode" if I work without problems. It basically works like a Tablet, only WiFi.
I guess it may be the battery, but I have read similar cases and they say that replacing the battery does not solve the problem.
Personally, using my mild common sense, I think it is something of Firmware as a type of descaling. But I don't know how to accommodate it either, I've already deleted the "Battery-stat.xml" several times and it doesn't help the problem either.
I hope someone can have the solution to the problem. A cordial greeting!
(Sorry if my English can have errors, I speak Spanish and I don't know how to speak English well. I use Google Translate)
EDIT: When I am in "Factory Mode" and have an already low battery level, the touch screen starts to make ghost touches at the top and bottom. Especially when I do things with consumption, such as opening the camera or if the phone is just turned on. This only happens in the "Factory Mode" and when there is little battery.
Same problem here

I have installed the LineageOS 14.1 in my X Play and as you mentioned, in Factory Mode the battery continues to drain out completely, and in a normal startup, it randomly shuts down below 40% of charge.
Once I drained the battery in Factory Mode, then left the phone charging overnight. Next day it powered itself off at 20% and eventually 40% again, so no solution there.
I tried deleting the Battery-stat.bin and the Battery-stat.xml but nothing changes.
Then in Factory Mode there is no mobile network connection, and in Normal Mode something is sending a shutdown signal nevertheless the battery level, so I was wondering, can I manually turn on/off such services so my phone doesn't turn off in Normal Mode or turn on the mobile network connection in Factory Mode?
Can someone lead us in the right direction? I can't find the right services nor the way to enable/disable them.
PD Your english level is above average, I speak spanish too.
Got any solution guys?!
