I just got my G2 less than two weeks ago. At first, the battery life was great, but in the past couple of days, it's been absolutely awful. Can't get a whole day with a single charge, which I could easily do with heavy use in the beginning. And I've read some threads about it being false reporting because of KK etc, but this definitely not false reporting. Others had theirs at like 4-5%, but this is way too much. Screen:
Stock KK, rooted with IOroot and using 2 Xposed modules: G2 Xposed and G2 Tweaksbox.
I really hope someone can help me out, this is really frustrating.
Is your bt just "on" or is it connected to a headset or anything?

Nope, it's completely off. I only used it for a couple of file transfers like 2 days ago and turned it off, that's it. I think that's when the battery started draining...

Ever since I got my NS4G my battery will never charge to 100%, and the maximum it displays 97%.
Is this a matter of rooting and re-calibrating the battery?
The phone is completely stock, and I've had since the beginning of the month.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
thats normal.
only way to get it to 100% is switching on wifi hotspot while charging.
Working as intended.

Tapatalk does have a direct link to the browser and if I'm not mistaken I think 99% of all androids have a dedicated Google search button actually built into the device, very week excuse.

I can't figure this out and its driving me batty. When my phone is on wifi and the screen is off, it will stop syncing with Google.
I turn my screen on and the wifi signal is grey, then after a moment, it turns blue and I get my Google voice texts, gmail, etc.
Dies anyone have any idea?

what ROM/kernel are you running? Did you flash a kernel with updated wifi drivers and flash another (kernel) without reinstalling the ROM?
Otherwise, yes...check your router settings.
I'm sorry that changing out to wifi never sleeps, didn't fix your problem.

The stock Droid 3 ROM has a battery saving "feature" in the settings. Do you have that somewhere?

Make sure to read the changelog of the kernel. Some kernels include updated WiFi/Bluetooth drivers and if you switch kernels you must reflash the ROM to revert the drivers.

one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.
Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.

I’ve installed it. The usual, maybe placebo effect, but it feels smoother. My Antutu score went up about 10K.

Think I figured it out. I didn't use my usual troubleshooting steps because I was following everyone else's threads and issues. I neglected to try audio wired as well as with alternate music apps. So after trying several different headphones (wired and bluetooth) as well as various bluetooth speakers, I was able to narrow it down to a specific app that was the issue (Power Amp). I cleared the cache and data for the app and now all is A-OK. Classic case of user error I guess?
