My battery life was really good but downloaded a couple apps and noticed a big difference in battery life is there a app that you don't need to be rooted that I can use to find out what is draining it?? I thought about just starting fresh and doing a format but I have the phone setup like I want and figure if there is a app I can use would be much easier thanks!
use easy battery saver it saves battery and tells u which one is draining it
normally its whatever ones access the internet constantly, like facebook messenger, that one drains a lot.

Seriously my phone dies in like 10 hours or less. im a heavy txter and caller... so it dies pretty fast. i did root my phone, and i did download SetCPU and put it on conservative mode... but didnt help much.
Can anyone help?
try this
If you don't already have it, get a file manager like root explorer. next go into settings/ applications/ running services and that will show you what's eating up all your ram and in-turn eating up some of your battery as well. Figure out which apps are linked to the services that are unnecessary to you and get rid of them. This should help speed up your phone at the same time as improving battery life. Make sure you read up on how to get clockwork and make a nandroid backup or learn how to make a backup some other way and find out which apps are safe to remove also. That should be a good start!
Not sure if you have your social networking widgets, or any widgets for that matter. But set your refresh times for everything to atleast 3 hours, that and get rid of wigets you don't need. you can do this by going to settings -> accounts and sync. That and make sure you are using auto brightness (even though with the amoled screen it probably wont make that much of a difference.) Also, don't know about this phone but on my droid1 when i had wifi turned on and a decent signal i got better battery life then having data on, but that might just be me.
BE happy you can atleast get 10 full hours of use. I heard droid X users only get like 7 and have to recharge.
Juice defender is also pretty great.
The best way to make the battery last though is not use the phone. You'll actually get several days in standby mode on airplane mode. It's great!
my biggest battery saver was turning the screen brightness all the way down
Why worry with silly software fixes when you can just get a spar battery with a spate battery charger? We sell them at our corporate stores for 39.99 or 29.99 if you have am employee discount loaded into or system. I have 3 batteries charged at any given time and never have to worry about charging

I was getting really fantastic battery life until today when I installed dolphin hd. I'm not sure why, but the moment I installed that, my battery could literally be watched dropping, even when it wasn't open. Once I got rid of it, my battery life then went right back to being great as it was before. The odd thing is, under battery usage, it wasn't showing up when it wasn't running, yet as it was the only change I made, and the sole factor in the change in battery life, I'm positive that's what it was. I'm curious how many people experiencing bad battery drain are using this browser.
i am using dolphin mini and dont think i have battery problem.
maybe you should try it.

Get a widget to turn off data with a single click, stopping it from running, slightly. I use extended controls

I have all these and my battery life is fine, I don't think you get what I said at all. I think dolphin could be the cause of so many people having battery troubles, as once I installed it I started experiencing the same things they said, and then once I uninstalled it the problem was gone. I am back to about 1% an hour drop hen in standby, however with the dolphin installed (even when it wasn't running and I wasn't connected to wifi or 3g) I was dropping about 5-10% just in standby per hour.
Hmm.... might remove it and see if I can see a difference.. but my battery life isn't even horrible. A little worse than before maybe. But I'm getting a solid 10 hours at least.

freex10 severe Battery drain with latest X10i official SE update.
Running Beta 4 after factory SE updated yesterday on my X10i. I have severe battery drain. 89% after loading the freex10 beta4 with apps zip install and a TI restore of all my prior progs. Left the phone plugged in and charging overnight and this morning it was 4%. I am not using any special browsers. I am using Advanced Task Killer and killed all the programs before leaving the phone. Any ideas??
I really wish there was a way to dual boot with xrecovery.. that way we could use stock SE during the day because it has better battery life, and when we are near a charger we can use 2.2
I had the battery drain problem where I was losing 5 - 10% per hour after upgrading to beta 4. While I cannot prove it I think the drain is related to the baseband upgrade and how it interacts with 3g on AT&T. I can't turn off data as this is my work e-mail device. After some experimentation I found that switching to 2g "fixed" the problem. I took my phone off the charger 4 hours ago and with moderate e-mail use, 1 30 minute phone call and some XDA and web browsing I am at 91%. I added the 2g/3g to the power control widget and can quickly switch to 3g when I want/need the additional speed.
One other unintended benefit I found from 2G. For some reason my phone will not drop in certain areas where I drop calls every time I am on 3g.
Possibly due to wifi?
Ok guys so I re-did the OE factory SE update and re-did the xrecovery to redo freex10 beta4. all went well but I was to sleepy to setup the wifi. This morning my phone was fully charged and ready to go. I came into work and turned the wifi on to use on our network. Phones been on standby and wifi is set to be off with the display. Its only been 3 hours and my phone is at 10%. Why is wifi drawing so much power even when not in use?
So far I saw many causes in 2.2, check my list here
> Dolphin HD (from this OP? - unconfirmed)
> Stock Email get partial wakelock with exchange server.
> Dialer - partial wakelock (you might not feel it, but it is, compared to 2.1)
> Dialer - drainage when turn 'turn to silence' on (Call setting)
For Dolphin, well as I trusted in android system, I believe there might be something else 'between' dolphin and the battery, I don't think it's the dolphin itself. Since it doesn't report anywhere between spareparts or battery usage, or even CPU usage. I must admit that 2.1 is doing better in term of 'system stability' (not about hanging, crashing - but to handle when something go wrong)
I also must admit that using ATK in 2.2 is likely cause trouble, I used to have battery trouble and there was no way out before I turned to ATK. well, thing got 'weird' (it was not worse) If you feel something wrong, 3G trouble, some stupid force close, try disable ATK.
I never used ATK in the fresh install. Posibly the stock E-mail however I haven't set that up either. Its a shame as the rom is real good and appears stable other than the battery drain issue. I've already tried the Xrecovery wipe of battery stats, cache, etc with no luck. I may just stick with the factory SE rom till freex10 is no longer a beta..

gotta give this a try
it's been driving me crazy wondering why my batter drains so fast
Worth a shot for sure! I get 24 hours easily with heavy usage... It's a lot better for me than beta 3 was
I use to have bad battery issues with this rom but then I install juice defender and it has done wonders for me. Task killers help but nothing like this app does.

I'm using beta 3 with constant 3g and dolphin hd. No problems. Batt drain is as usual with 2.1 original. I get about 1-1.5 days of usage, sometimes even 2.
How long does a full charge last for you on your continuum?
I got a new warranty replacement battery from verizon yesterday, because my battery only lasted 4 hours. This was with turning off applications and having the screen off. I also have the brightness turned all the way down for when I actually use the phone.
Right now, Im running Adrynalyne's kernel and the "3.30.11 Clean Continuum DL17 Rom". I hope this battery lasts.
Mine will usually last all day (around 12 ish hours) with moderate use (meaning checking facebook, browsing the internet lightly and checking email, making calls and texting). I've never had a problem with my battery except when I first go tit and I couldn't put the thing down lol
Tricks to get your battery to last longer:
1. Get "Advanced Task Killer" from the market and kill all unnecessary processes that run. The Task Manager that comes on your phone can detect applications that are multitasking, but it can't detect processes. Processes can randomly start running when you open apps like Facebook, Browser, etc. When you press the "back" button to exit an application, these processes keep running and consume lots of battery life. I saved muchos battery life with this app.
2. Go to Settings>About phone>Battery use and see what's consuming the most of your battery life. Click on the items you see that are consuming battery life and it'll tell you if you can do anything about it.
3. Live Wallpapers consume a considerate amount of battery life, so if you're having battery problems, avoid using them.
4. Remove unneeded widgets.
5. A friend told me using battery conserving apps actually increased his battery consumption. I don't know if it's true, or why that would be but I would try testing to see if using a battery conserving app actually helps, or makes it worse.
6. Turn off WiFi when you're not using it, or it will constantly attempt to search for WiFi, decreasing your battery life.
7. Try using SetCPU, and set a limit to the processing power (is that what it's called?) that your phone can use. Don't set it to the minimum because you don't want a laggy phone, but try lowering it a bit and see if that reduces the amount of battery life used.
If that doesn't work, nothing will. I don't know why you only have 4 hours of battery life, but that should fix anything that makes your phone have less battery life
There's a better apparently than adv task killer it has like 5 apps in one its called android assistance. And its worth looking at trust me

Ok...I love this phone, it's smoking fast the screen is just amazing and love the size. Too many things to list that are awesome.
You know what I hate...BATTERY. what am I doing wrong. I have never had good battery life on any phone. WHY?
Here is what I have on all the time:
Wifi
BT (I have a smart watch(
GPS (use it for Google location for work)
I uninstalled FB, gmail, and Inbox. I use gmail from chrome. I roughly have 70 apps installed. I use hangouts because of work, so I use it for all my SMS too.
I did a factory reset from recovery last night to see if that helped battery life. NOT!!
I am seeing people getting 7+ hrs SOT..WHAT, how is that possible? I want to be able to use my phone , not turn everything off...how are they doing it?
Today I was at 10% battery left and 2:23 Screen on Time, WTF? Android System was at 26% of battery consumption. Screen was 13%.
Any advise will help...there should be no way I can't get at least 4hrs scene time on this 3600mH battery.

Guys, please help me again!!!
My phone has horrible battery life. I know for a fact that it has up to 4000mAh as expected, I have keeping account of how much each apps used. However, it is drained out very fast. It has been this way even with the stock rom. Now I have flashed in Turbo rom the US version 21s (which I love very much, btw) and it is still draining like crazy.
I have even disabled location service and history and it is like that. I have even used other roms (lineageOS and paranoid), the battery still drains like crazy. I have only like a 15 hour-ish battery life on a phone that I used lightly so far.
I really want to keep this phone but if it keeps being like that, I might have to send it back or something which I desperately don't want to do...
Maybe you need to remove some bloatware on the stock LeEco ROM.
Otherwise I think you're getting decent enough battery life. Download Greenify or some other battery checking app to see if any app in particular is draining battery life. Look in the optimization page in Battery and try to unoptimize or optimize some apps. Doze might be causing issues.
Damn it.
I'm having the same problem, I can not fix what I've done, doing a clean setup completely erasing everything did not solve the problems.
There is no such problem in custom roms.
What can be done in this regard.
Power ManagerService and PowerManagerDisplay have no way to stop exploiting the battery. : Ağlayan:
