i just wanna know how much people has battery drain on GingerDX (all version)
pick your Polling here
and tell us why your battery drain
Gdx is really sucking my battery,but u can install the supercharger script for longer battery discharge

wow
a lot people have battery drain
Yesterday, I've observed huge battery drain during the day .. about -15%/hour while doing some basic tasks on the phone (email, IM, inet browsing). Later, I've found out, that auto brightness was set way too high and had to manually decrease the brightness levels. After that, power consumption dropped to about -5-7%/hour while doing the same tasks as before. The display value in battery use menu also dropped from 70% to 30%.
The idle battery drain is OK... about -1%/hour with only GSM network on.
IMHO if your x8 battery is draining too fast, check doixanh's FAQ and then check the brightness levels...
Hi,
I'm afraid that the battery consumption is not related to GingerDX itself but to the additional software and phone usage.
In order to improve battery life in GingerDX do the following:
1. REMOVE or freeze Google Maps (ownhere). Use a different software instead (like maverick pro 1.94, which has google maps enabled and it is not consumig your resources)
2. Also, you may want to remove dsp manager (use the built in equalizer in your favorite music player instead).
3. Disable data MANUALLY. Use the built-in power widget to disable mobile data when you're not using it. Don't use automated 3g disable software because it will drain your battery too.
Your battery should last for 2+ days with normal phone usage. No need to mess with the good working autobrightness, you can leave it on.
FroyoBread:
1d 7h 29m since unplugged - 71% battery left
That's pretty good, isn't it? (Sorry for "offtopic")
hello everyone, i just think that battery callibration and some apps freezed is enought for the battery drain... some apps like gmail, maps, maybe market..
for me the battery drain is normal
i´m using gingerdx V011
Wow Still battery drain use this Doixanh Suggestion
Clear battery stats in xRecovery
Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
Don't set brightness too high
Don't install too many unused apps.
Turn off WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when unused
Turn OFF LED Succession. It's turned of by default, but maybe there are some people still leaving it on.
Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past) for me, even when I stopped listening to music.
Hi. Im using GDX v012 and I don't know if I'm having a battery drain..... in last night battery drop about 17-20% in standby... with all the things off (wifi, data, gps).
So, i went to check the graphs and i noticed that the cell was active during all night....
somebody can tell me why?
and second, maybe the battery drop a little faster because of my signal strength.. but not so fast....
GDX v012, DSPManager manually pushed back into the system and Google Maps + Streetview from the Market (can't live without it); apart from the apps I already had installed.
Depending on the usage of my phone (calls, WiFi, GPS) I get 1-3 days on a charge.
Mind you, I don't use the phone for listening to music or watching video [EDIT] or gaming; that's where my Liberty Tab G100 (mod-flashed into a Iconia A500) performs a whole lot better thanks to the Tegra 250 chipset and faster CPU [/EDIT].
I did a test and found that it consumes my battery is the signal strength that is weak in my location....
when i put my phone in airplane mode during all night, battery has not decreased even 1% ...
i have many apps installed, including maps etc etc
GingerDX v012
Yea, I kinda just upgraded to GingerDX v012, from v010. Somehow I missed v011.
Anyway, I realised that v012 drains my battery a lot more than v010. I wonder why.
Just today, in 3 hours of idle mode, my battery drained from 80% to 60%. That's alot o.o
Any tips on how to reduce this battery drain problem?

loving the ROM, but my poor battery!
This is my first post on this site. doixanh, you are a legend for making this rom available to X8 users. Its smooth and pretty. stock eclair can go in the rubbish with no reservations. When I first discovered just how limited it was I regretted buying my phone. Then I discovered froyobread (which I used for 1 day) before updating to gingerDX v13. Stoked!!!!!!! My battery drains pretty badly though. I have quite a few apps installed and use live wallpaper so I guess I can put up with it. I need my koi carp dammit! lol
My battery was draining 20% to 30% an hour on idle mode with bluetooth, 3g and wifi off. Turned on Airplane mode and now it drains around 2%-4%.
Any ideas on how can i improve the battery life without having to turn on airplane mode?
displays drain my battery 90% omg
when i check what uses battery it indicates 90% on display
my phone only last for about 8 hrs doing nothing just in idle mode
i follow all the instruction but it failed (

I tested it and got no significant results.
The change in values doesn't seem to improve battery life...
Using GingerDX 013, so far no battery drain. Yet i have noticed, that it's the cell standby that uses the most power. Although it drains 1% in 2-4 hours depending on quality of signal in my region. Usually everything's off and i have the supercharger v8 script installed. Also applied the smartass tweaks to save battery time as well. And i kill all unnecessary processes after using apps.
small update: Current uptime is 3d 22h as of this point and i still have 21% battery left. And i've drained over 15% when i was meddling with the supercharger settings. Otherwise regular use - phone calls, messages, some tinkering and wifi usage.
status update: standby was 4d 14hrs to 6% including the 15% drained when trying to set up supercharger. So it is possible it can do 5 days with small use and 6+ without any use at all.
Hey all, I had been really dissatisfied with the battery of XSP, leaving it overnight from 90% it used to drain to 50% with all apps being turned off so there's finally a way which you can use so the battery doesn't drains out quick I tried it myself last night and from 87% battery when I saw in morning battery was 83%, awesome isn't it
Ok so here's what you have to do just add the line below in system/build.prop add it in bottom of build.prop enjoy
"ro.config.hw_power_saving=1"
hmm, gonna test it tonight
Good one
But for me no battery draining issue while stamina mod on. Yesterday night i leave my phone with 34 % battery with stamina mod on while sleeping . In morning its 32 % ..
before i sleep, my phone's battery status is usually 20-25% and i charge the next morning before going to work. when i woke up, my phone doesn't drain a single percent at all, but sometimes the phone's battery status is reduced by 1%. just sharing.
build.prop
According to some one website, it should:
# allow to tear down mobile data connection when device is idle
I think you can achieve the same by stamina mode.. The question is, what is causing so much drain. Try to install BetterBatteryStats or similar app to find out the real reason.

The phone ignores lines starting with # so no it shouldn't be. But the stamina mode probably does the same thing indeed
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Yes i know about the # lines, I just posted what does this settings actually influence. It shut downs mobile data while screen is off, which is achieved by stamina mode as well.
BTW, what else does stamina mode do? You can choose which apps will be active in the standby mode... in case i have email synchronization set to 30mins, an don't touch the phone for 2 hours, then it won't be synced? If I add it to stamina mode apps, it will be sync then?
battery while screen is off is perfect on my sp.. i dont know whats the matter with yours.. but the problem im facing is during a movie.. of approx 2 hours.. the battey level is 90% .. after two hours it drains to 20%.. with 50% brightness ... its kinda odd.. if you guys are feeling the same.. or not.. at least give me some advice on this!! i dont think this is normal for sp whose video play back is almost 7-8 hours!

m not facing such an issue.....the other day i watched 2 hollywood movies both approx 1hr 45 mins+ with full brightness on MX player and from 90% the bettery went down to approx 30% so that was like 60% drain on full brightness for 3hrs+ movie
I know there isn't much problem of battery with stamina mode on, but even while stamina mode is off or watching videos, playing games it still saves a lot of battery from being drained!
Greenify + Stamina Mod = perfect battery :thumbup:

Hi
Can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.
its works in custom rom?
Hi guys,
I have SM-N900 Note 3 and was worried about the battery life.
I factory reset it and only signed in with my Gmail account.
I left it for 7 hours at night, and the battery has drained from 100% to 93%.
Is it normal? I always thought Note has much better battery life and without nothing running in the background it should drain like 1%-2% over night.
what do you think?
(running stock Samsung firmware, 4.4.2. no SD card)
Thanks
If all working well my Note 3 would drain about 2 % overnight, (thats on wifi with BT, GPS on, no power save, no blocking of any type), anything above 5% I usually start looking for the cause. But to be honest with original 4.3 I rarely had to look, since I updated to 4.42 it's all over the place from as high as 20% to as low as 2 % and I can't pinpoint the cause, which drives me insane. ATM it's running about 4-5%, which I'm not too happy about and if it get's any worse I will start deleting everything until I get this phone under control. I have couple chinese tablets, where inside the settings there is a menu where you can stop programs from start at the boot up time, I search everywhere and I can't find anything like that on the Note, but since I'm rooted I can freeze or delete stuff, maybe not the best solution but it works.

woah, so many crossed data about your %.
and yeah - since you're rooted, you can install Xposed and install BootManager module, so you can see which apps are running from the boot.

2% overnight - 7 hours - for me. Data on, no sync at all, weather widget update every 30 minutes, KK, Faux kernel.
0% - If I turn on Powersave when Screen Off in Performance Profile(Xposed Module). It is amazing with of course a slight delay when turning it on. [Around 8hrs]
1-2% - Depending if my network is stable. Wifi-on. Zooper Widget not greenified. [Around 8hrs]
Hi guys,
I have been having an issue with my Motorola X Play (UK Single Sim) I have only owned it for a few months from new.... The battery is draining fast and I can see in the battery stats that it's not sleeping, otherwise the battery usage page shows nothing of interest, apart from perhaps Mobile Standby which is quite high, above the screen but the signal bar is all green...
I rooted my phone to better find out what was causing these issues, otherwise stock Marshmallow. Unfortunately Motorola now are not interested as they say my phone is rooted and now has no warranty - useless idiots!
Using GS Sam battery monitor (rooted) I can see that the following is keeping the phone awake, no other app is.
48.3% of battery consumed by Kernel (Android OS)
Keep awake over 2 hours
CPU usage 59m 53s
Number of Wake Locks: 1
Byes sent: 246.21KB

I have tried safe mode but it appears to be the same, I have hardly any apps installed apart from Facebook and Facebook messenger and I have even tried it without them...
I have tried turning off/on WiFi / Location / GPS is now disabled. WiFi Scanning is off. Restarts make no difference... I have even done a factory reset about a month ago.
Any ideas, this phone is having the same battery life or less than my Nexus 5 which had a much smaller battery...
Many thanks
here's a way to avoid it http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/google-c2dm-checkin-services-t1321520
i'll update if i find anything else.
don't tell them your device is rooted. if you go to service center just re-lock the bootloader and its back to normal.[it won't get your warranty back but they don't check that much]
can you post a screenshot of gs sam.
1 - Install BetterBatteryStats (BBS) - this will give you detailed information on what is draining your battery. Get it from XDA v2.2.0.0B6 - this gives you the detailed breakdown in the UI that you are after, the google play version doesn't do it in the UI (older version).
Get baseline results (charge it full, don't touch it for 5-6 hours) I like to do this while sleeping.
2 - Install Greenify (you don't need the Xposed module if you don't want to fiddle with that yet, alto I highly recommend it) set the working mode to root. If applications are still not sleeping, add the widget and force sleep everything before you turn off your screen
Get BBS results (do the 5-6 hours while sleeping) - improved?
3 - Install Naptime from the google play store (by Fransico Franco)
Get BBS results - improved?
Getting anal about battery usage?
4- Read up on Amplify - this yielded even more results for me. But this can take a bit of work to get right. There's a lot of great threads on XDA for setting this up.
5 -Smart network - allows you to control data, networks, wifi, bluetooh, nfc, gps on/off with a ton of great features for auto. management.
I have all the above and yield a 0.4%/hr drain on stand by (see signature for phone build).
Amplify is a god sent app. It has been 4 hours now, and I have been using whatsapp on and off (about 20 seconds each time) and I still have 97% left in the tank.

Facebook app has been known to cause serious battery drain in the past. Uninstall it and test again.
In 99% of the cases it is caused by an app. Try to find out which one is causing the drain.
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay and thanks for the replies. I performed a factory reset again, after clearing the cache etc, the same as I did last time. The only difference is I then installed Android 6.0.1
The battery drain has now gone. I didn't perform a restore of apps etc, and the only apps I have installed so far in addition have been Facebook and Facebook messenger but I have found these have had no effect at all on the battery drain. I haven't even updated the stock apps (apart from the security ones).
I now get two days of use easy. It also seems to be running slightly faster. I will update apps one by one, over the course of a few days to make sure nothing causes it again...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
I use this guide, works really great to limit wake locks.
And I don't use Fb app but use the browser instead, battery lasts easily two days of "heavy" usage !
I found the problem, or at least a major bug. Whenever you cast to Google Chromecast Audio and then stop casting completely there is a massive wakelock until you next restart the phone. My phone was awake all night and down to 20% battery life. Android OS takes a massive portion of the battery life and under keep awake stats it's 9 hours +. It seems that when it says disconnected it is not. A major bug! I'll try and report it using Google's bug reporter...

not even Doze could kill it? perhaps you could try Servicely and see if it could stop the thing from running.

Nope, Doze had no affect at all but it should be as it was sitting stationary overnight - normally the drain overnight is a few percent at the most, last night it was around 65% and I was left with 20% in the morning and this was I think the first time I had used Google Chromecast Audio since the factory reset with great battery life up to last night... I could try Servicely but I am not sure on the service to kill and I'd like to keep it 100% stock for now so I can help out Google to fix the bug (or Motorola if they bother)... What a pain as I just bought 4x Google Chromecast Audios!!
I have reported it here in the Android bug tracker, feel free to comment / star the issue to bring it to Google's attention.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=208324
However I am not sure if this is a Motorola Issue or a Google Marshmallow / Chromecast issue?? Motorola support have been very unhelpful so no luck if that is the case...
If anyone else with Chromecast Audio could confirm the bug that would be great.
Thanks
Laurence
There's a post on reddit about battery drain with chromecast audio about a year ago, not sure if it's the same issue though.

I have now had my galaxy s8 for over a year and i have noticed my battery life hasnt always been that great.
I have noticed that over a total day i only get 2-3 hours screen on time.
For an example when i go with the bus home for 25 min my battery often drains over 10% without even using the screen for 25 minutes.
Once i installed another rom called lightrom or something over the renovate ice rom and it got much better the first day but second day when i got more apps on it begun to be bad again.
I then went back to renovate ice rom and i was back to bad battery life again when i installed all my apps.
BUT in this case i have an app called greenify and i greenify all my apps in the background but i still have a massive standby drain
I have never found out what has caused my problem but for sure it cant last a whole day
I have this thought that it can be weak signal but i have disabled the option "Keep mobile data turned on" and followed multiple tutorials of how to make battery life better
AOD off, Location off, Wifi off, bluetooth on ( for gear s3), nfc off,
So i only use bluetooth and mobile data.
I apreciate all help

Since the problem starts when you install your apps, I would start with checking which apps are the culprit. Apps like snapchat and Facebook are notoriously known for unreasonable high battery drain in standby.

I have deleted Facebook a couple of weeks ago and that made no huge difference. Though I think snapchat may be the one. But I often have it hibernated
