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%.

Another Battery Drain Thread!!!

Sorry for making another thread about high battery consumption, but I need some answers about my case.
The problem is that After I fully charge battery it rapidly get drained, about 3-5% per hour with everything turned off (wifi, gps, data, background data...).
I tried every tip from this forum and nothing helps!
Only thing that sometimes helps me is tu turn off my phone and remove battery for 5 mins. After restart battery consumption is good but after some time it start fast draining again.
Also, I noticed when battery goes down to 25% it stays at same percent for more than 12h (although I am using my phone for talks and sms).
THis problem persist in all custom roms, but i am not sure about Stock Rom (I had it only for few days)
What do You think: is it problem with roms (should I downgrade to stock 2.1 rom?) or it's hardware problem.
p.s. How long do You charge Your battery? (my battery is charged within 70 mins from 1% to 100%)

In XGin 4 ROM I have seen great battery improvement after freezing Google maps and Email.apk
You could try freezing these apps and see if the problem still persists.

Yea but camera doesn't work on XGin...

Use FroyoBread v12 by doixanh
I am using Froyobread v12. My battery can last 3 days with moderate SMS, wifi calls and games.
I used battery calibration (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867) I think it really helped a lot!

Hmm, curious problem indeed... What tricks did you try? Wipe battery stats in xRecovery? Battery calibration app? Elaborate please

Yes, I tried battery calibration and now installed, Fast Reboot.
Uninstalled: gmail, Email, maps, facebook and some other apps I don't using.
Now I am testing Airplane mode, it seems that battery life is very good in this mode (1% consumption after 3-4 hours)

Of course camera works on XGin.

XGin Camera
I confirm camera works in XGIN as VGA for pics (all Ginger 2.3.4. have the same except Racht's who chose to disable it) and recording on High.

Check power management to see what causes this huge drain

I don't see anything unusal in battery use:
in standby mode it's: display: 60%, cell standby: 20-30% and all other components are less than 5%
Is it possibly that high battery consumption is caused by low gsm signal?
I doubt it can cause such a high consumption, but who knows?

Did you freeze google maps as Chris95X8 had suggested?
It worked for me.
Besides use task manager or something to check what apps are running.
map shows only 2% but during the night it took me more than 20% when the phone is not used.

as I already mentioned in earlier post I uninstalled Google maps, e-mail, gmail, gtalk and facebook apps.
Just switched to Xgin 5.3 and I was suprised with battery 'till I installed fancy widget pro. Maybe widget consumes a lot of energy! Going to test it now!

This was my problem too. I prefer to activate/deactivate wi-fi myself. I bet that in wi-fi sleep policy you don't have checked `never`. Check it and That will solve the `20-30%` to a normal percentage. In addition you can activate the `undervolt` feature.

HD2 Battery. Good or bad ?

Hi!
I installed NAND rom on HTC HD2. I have battery problems (I think).
I left it for sleep for 6 hrs. I turned of bt,mobile network wifi. He lost nearly 15% in that state. I received only one sms. I cant get battery through day. Is that normal or i have problems ? Also i would like to know is there any program to se battery wear out level like on laptops so I can know to replace it. Thanks in advance
Adition on battery stats now i have 12% 16hrs since charged 14.5 stand by 1.5 up time. Is this normal?

try controlling running operations at background. i use android assistant for this. use battery monitor widget for battery information and statistics. at sleep it should consume 2-6 ma. be sure auto sync is closed. control screen brightness, it eats battery very much. with some kernels after activating bluetooth it consumes 60 ma battery in standby until you restart. for good battery life prefer cm7 roms (i'm happy with hyperdroid

2-6 ma per hour or ? Which program to see that consumption

Use CurrentWidget from the Android market (free). Just put the widget on a homescreen, put the device to sleep then after a minute or two check the battery drain.

[HELP] Battery life??

I have seen better battery stats than mine. I don't know If something's wrong with my device (I have warranty tho so if it is, I can replace it)
I noticed that wifi is at the top of the list so I'm not sure what's going on.
I have greenify set for facebook because It destroys any battery. Also I disabled my location in case it was google now.
Accubattery shows 55% consumption while screen on (3h 29 SOT) while 38% of the battery gone while the screen is off (80% of that time is in deep sleep)
In the android's battery stats, wifi appears above screen in battery consumption.
Overall it's 16h 45 min of total battery life at 5% battery left.
I have seen 5h, 7h SOT so I don't exactly know what to expect.
I really need a hand because I can't let this pass if it's really a battery issue.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you want to post a BBS log in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884 to get proper help.

Nobody knows which device, bootloader status, dual sim, WiFi, apps, settings, rom etc. you are using. So please be so kind and provide these informations.
Also a full cycle of better battery stats is useful with all screens provided.
And as bullfinch110 said: there are threads(older) with battery tips

I'm sorry. I couldn't find a way to upload screens without external links and xda wouldn't let me.
Its xt1641, dual sim but i've only charged it with one.
Stock 6.0.1 Rom
Locked bootloader
Wifi is always on in that cycle. I've disabled today "enable wifi on deepsleep" to see what's up
I've also restored network settings.

huge battery drain help

Running pure nexus 7.1.2 with ex kernel and glasscannon profile. I have naptime greenify amplify installed.im getting 11% battery drain over night. I don thave facebook or messenger installed just whatsapp and viber. I do have a magisk module that charges my batt till 80% or any set value (magic charging switch). I leave wifi on at night. I dont use mobile data. I only use bluetooth as needed. Can someone help me diagnose where my huge batt drain is coming from a d eliminate it?

What is the battery drain when you were on a stock ROM? First test your battery with Accubattery, then use a battery drain app like BBS or GSam.

Uhm.. well sir ive never ran this stock out of the box. Once i got it, i rooted immediantly. It has been sitting for almost 2 years since purchase until i had the screen replaced. Since posting this, i have reflashed my rom of choice and kernel clean. Going on day 1 right now with very light usage. (Attachment)
Running pure nexus 7.1.2 latest elemental kernel with glasscannon profile stock values installed via aroma. Only change readhead value to 1024. Gpu at performance profile incase i wanna game on the fly. Which happens only when im bored. I never tried accubattery but magic charging switch does have a command for checking the status of the batt ( see attachment) will get up on BBS to and will post results after a full charge.
Edit:might i add yes the wifi on whole time, yes i did use this to work light browsing and messaging during break. Yes i did listen to music via headphones and via bluetooth car audio. Phone was charged the night before around 11pm- woke up to 98% which was better than what i initially started with. "AAAANNND i did tasker sync to turn on only 15 mins for the whole day before i sleep. Sync being off from midnight till 1145pm, repeat.

Heres an update...

Can you show some BBS stat's for wakelocks after you charge to 100% and don't use it at all and leave it over night and send the stat's soon as you wake the device.

Didnt my last post contain screenshots of partial and kernel wakelocks? Sorry if it was insufficient.
This is now showing up. (see attachment)
Qpnp-smbcharger-17 seems to be drainig 1.2% per hour. How can i mitigate this?

I just need to see the stats without the phone being used, that's why charge to 100% the let it go into standby (unplugged) when you sleep and then when you wake up. Take a picture of the stat's and The kernel wakelocks can be fixed with custom kernel only.

Ok. Will do.

Using multiple battery savings apps like Greenify and Naptime doesn't really make a lot of sense and can actually cause battery drain. I use Naptime, Better Battery Stats and a Magisk module that allows Google Play Services to Doze with the rest of the phone. I leave WiFi and Location High Accuracy on all the time and I get 2% battery drain overnight. I also use a battery charging alarm to keep my phone charged between 40%-80% rather than a Tasker profile but I'm not sure if either method is more efficient in terms of battery drain.
