Amazing battery life from extended, then all of a sudden crappy.

I got 26 hours off my first charge from getting Sprint's 2600mah battery off heavy usage. Now i can barely get 6 hours in 50% after i calibrated it. My lesson is, don't fix what's not broken -___- idk why its getting poor battery all of a sudden. I barely even used my phone today. Wth is going on? ;/

Look at your awake time. You have something up a lot. Even when your screen was off you had something running away. If you can't find it do a factory reset and back track your apps. If your rooted its really easy to restore apps, just don't restore data. Start over.

You definitely have a wake lock.
Your phone was awake for hours while the screen wasn't even on at all.

No this is when my battery was good. And that is NOT a wakelock, that is WIFI. WIFI being on counts as awake apparently when i test it.

No, my wifi is on anytime I'm in a wifi area and yet my awake time is not even close to the same amount of time.
It seems like the calibration method you used is what caused you an issue.
It might be that the phone thinks your aftermarket battery is only the stock battery and is therefore only charging part of the battery.

You think flashing a new rom will do? Ive wiped caches and stats before. But i dont have anything wakelocked for sure. I checked betterbatterystats for locks and my current awake and screen times are on par. However what can i do to make my phone recognize that i do have an extended battery in?

Simple recalibration. Easiest way is the battery calibration apologize. I lol when someone recommended it to me as I have always wiped the same file thru root explorer but it does the job. Very simple. U should really recalibrate after any battery change where mAh are dif

And wifi does not cause wake locks. But unless you were playing music the whole time that's a lot of awake time for the screen to be off.

Glad it's been fixed for you.
You should definitely watch that awake time though.
You were wake locked in that screen shot and that will eat your battery like none other.

Battery going nuts?

Running aokp with stock kernel, also paranoid android before and it did this. Any help or ideas to fix these spikes? Battery reading has gone crazy and obviously it's not charging but it bumps up the battery level though

What the hell??? Ok, u have to charge the phonte till 100% and then delete the file:
Code:
data/system/[B]batterystats.bin[/B]
Use the phone normally for a couple of days and report if the problem persists.

Clear Dalvik + cache and let it charge to 100%. OR charge it while the phone is off and do a battery cycle.

Thanks guys. The batterystats.bin file didn't work, also it's a new fresh install of AOKP so the whole data partition got wiped before installing. I think the battery got fried because it's way too hot where I live and the phone heated some times way more than normal.
I'm trying the charge withouth powering on now to see if it cures the problem.

With the phone powered off it didn't charge. If I turn it on it says 0% and then it ramps it up to 22 or any other value higher than what I think it really is. That's the spikes on the screenshot

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.

Well that pretty much clears that up, thanks!

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

fix for android os and wifi draining battery

hi bros.well i recently rooted and installed xposed and modules named greenify and amplify.well i did something wrong leave that aside but what i noticed that after tweaking by greenify and amplify android os was not on top rather screen was so these modules fix the problem which is mainly wakelock i guess.so give it try but i have bought donation packages for the said modules.bye :fingers-crossed:

What did you limit on amplify?

Just requested to join alpha.

Join, awaiting activation and then you can download it.

I just rooted my phone and installed Greenify and it improved my standby time by a boatload.
I was barely able to squeeze through a day of standby before. After Greenify, I'm sitting at 44% after 24hours.
Awesome!

with greenify , this problem can be solved

OnePlus pulls latest Open Beta for all its phones

Excessive battery drain. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/08/oneplus-pulls-latest-open-beta-phones/

Open Beta 5 pulled
Says due to battery drain issues. I've been running ob5 for about a week now and haven't noticed a difference from stable or ob4. Anyone else had battery problems?

I noticed a hit to mine. I've only been on the beta for 2 days coming from stable. Went from 26hr total battery time(7hr sot)down to 12hr total battery life(3.5 sot). Not a huge deal ATM but I didn't expect such a drastic change.

I have no issues on OpenBeta 5, pretty sure AndroidPolice is doing a late April fools joke.

Same here. It hasnt been drastic but definitely noticable. I just chalked it up to typical beta issues.

From what I could see, the cameraservice (randomly) started crashing in the background - this was evident from logcat, resulting in the device not going into deep sleep. For me it happened randomly, but when it did, the phone started draining like crazy.
