Hey guys. Just got this phone. Amazing.
Anyway, just checked the battery and this came up.
Which is strange considering the phone hasn't even been on for a day, and it says the CPU has been going on for over an hour, but battery life is fine and it hasn't got hot at all. Standby time seems to be good as well.
Just thought I'd share this.

I got pretty bad battery life today.
Usually I make it through a day with moderate use.
Today though, it was really bad thanks to "tcmd".
Thats all the info the battery usage page gives me.
55% and 2h:40m CPU time !!
What is that process? First time I see that problem.
My display time was just 55 mins today.
I am rooted on 57.
In terminal, "ps" gives me mot_tcmd /system/bin/tcmd
Anyone seen that before? What is that?
Thx
Me too! I used to use one battery charge per day and all of a sudden my battery is dead. Batter shows tcmd using 40%... I thought it may be related to the 1.8.3 update I applied over the weekend. The internet says tcmd is total commander app which I dont have unless its bunded with another app. I dont see it in the task manger either. Any info would be great. Thanks!

I had this problem once also. But it was before the update that I just did. Wasn't able to pinpoint what it is though.

My battery was dead in under 5 hours this morning. I restarted the phone and recharged and it seems fine now. I dont see tcmd in the battery list either. Ill see what happens in the morn.

TCMD is draining my battery fast. Running at between 34 and 40%
Would like to know what it is.
Are you all using Gingerblur 3.1? I flashed Kenn's new update and my battery life was total crap today. I dunno if it's related or not...

Im running stock 8.3 no root. After I simply restarted my phone I havent had the issue resurface again. Weird fluke I guess. My guess is that process must connect or do something over the wireless network and att may have been having issues with whatever that service is causing the service on our phones to use up all the battery while retrying. That theory but who knows.

i used max 7h for 1 changed of battery . the baatery of atrixis very bad or processer run so fast ????
Hey guys,
Had my phone fully charged last night, went to bed, and 7 hours later the battery was at 19%. Quick check on what's using the battery revealed Cell Standby was the major power factor, using 60-some% of the battery.
Any one else experiencing this issue? The X10 is rooted, Android 2.3.3 installed.

Too much updating/synching going on maybe
Try increasing the time between sync on you running apps( weather,facebook,email,etc)

How is your phone reception/signal?
Cell standby usage is high for me as well, but that is due to the poor signal at my house.
The poor signal will drain your battery
Signal is good.
The syncing hasn't changed. mostly battery lasts for quite a while. I think it may be caused by the Facebook app.

Install CPUSpy, leave the device for a while and see if there is derp sleep.

I got school at around 6 am. By the time I eat lunch it's already at 57%. By the time I get home around 5 and it's already at 17%.
All I do is listen to music (doubletwist/playerpro) and play Cut the Rope, WTF!?
Cell standy by is 46% in batter usage followed by wifi with 11%
any help guys?
What I tend to do is have brightness down to about half. Have you also tried fully charging the phone, taking the battery out and charging back to full? I sometimes find it drops down but regenerates itself.

Brightness is below half,I never go over. WiFi is on but not all the time.
Stock rom 2.3.4 rooted
Do you have data off?
How's your phone signal most of the time? It has been proven that low/bad signal drains battery quicker than good signal.
Sometimes certain buildings/rooms have pretty bad reception making it a huge drain for your phone.

This is a useful piece of information, however is not really practical. Ideally we don't want to be turning off our phones on every charge :/
I myself own 3 batteries, and alternate them (I have a wall charger for the batteries)
what ver are you using if 2.3.4 the battery issue is fix.
I get 3 /4 bars, at school right new and yea some times I get nothing, especial ly during the subway ruse which is an hour

Once I updated my phone to 2.3.3 I noticed that the battery life was sub-par, only lasting 3/5s of the day on a full charge.
I proceeded to root my phone (as I don't have the money to unlock my Big Red Bootloader); after installing SetCPU I took down the clocking meter 1 notch (768MHz) and the phone is stable with not difference in performance (so far). Doing this and removing some unneeded bloatware has increased my battery life 2.5x and I can go almost 3 days on a single charge.

xiEvo is correct and I've read a lot of good stuff regarding battery life with 2.3.4. I can only begin to imagine what kind of battery life I'll have once I get that update.
get juice defender off the market ultimate version is best. this will lookafter everything for you.. juice defender is a must have app for all android devices

I'm 2.3.4.
Honestly I had the best battery life with 2.3.2, IDK why.
Hi guys,
Is anyone else get terrible battery life with 3g and data on even on standby? I believe the phone function drains the battery and it lasts only 2 days or so on standby. I constantly have the tab on flight mode with wifi enabled and battery is much improved to about 1 week standby. Anyone else? I am on stock 4.0.4.
Thanks
Wtf r this guy even serious? I wish i had 1 day standby, what a joke

Hi Iong. We are talking about a tablet here, not a phone. Tablets should have 1 week standby at least. The battery drain with 3g and phone on is unacceptable. I think the reason is the connection to phone signal which is constant.
Mate 1 day pr 2 day standby is a lot, given the fact you install many program and it constantly connect to tinternet to check for updates notifs etx. You dont have 1 week standby whatsover, forget it. Big tablet big baterry big screen. Ot all goes scaling together

So 'l2_hsic' and 'batt_work wake lock' are the 2 processes keeping my table awake for 5 hours in total since yesterday. Any idea of what these do?
Thanks

most likely is that one or more of your apps is causing the problem. try a reset and see if the problem goes away. if it does, install apps one by and and check which one is the problem
Use juice defender ultimate in tablet mode. I can go several days idle time and lose almost no battery.

may be change firmware?
Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Whats the bluetooth test process? I can only see 'bluetooth share' running and it only let's me stop the process not disable.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.
