Woeful Battery Help? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well another battery thread from me I just can't seem to figure it out. I have been off the charger for 13 hours. My phone has less than 2 hours screen on but has used half the battery and apparently been awake for 5 of those 13 hours. I've attached multiple screen shots from better battery stats. I just don't understand what the results mean from each section.
This is on Mahdi ROM. Also battery was awful on Cloudy G3 too. I see claims of 6-8 hours screen on time and I want to get close to that. I'm not a heavy user I just browse I don't game. I've even tried greenifying stuff like Facebook Twitter etc. No help.

Would you mind downloading wakelock detector then letting it run for a day and showing me screenshots of the CPU wakelock ordered by usage (and maybe some other screenshots within the app too)?

Happy to do that whatever helps I just thought BBS was the best option I'll try using both.

[Q] Xperia Play charges by itself *magically*

Ok so my battery percentage has been acting really really strange. As shown in the images below. It was at 70% then I was warching a few youtube videos and some other stuff and it dropped to +/- 30%. So far it all makes sense but then I put it a way in my pocket and after half an hour I went to take a look and it was at 60% ??? Why is my Xperia Play doing this?

Now I'm scared to rely on the percentage indicator because I don't know how accurate it is and if it is showing a higher than normal charge or a lower than normal.
I am running Gin2jellybean custom rom with doomkernel14. I am overclocked at 1.2GHZ.
I remember back when I was stock I had a similar problem but it wasn't this severe like it would usually go up 1 or 2%
Also I do the clear battery stats (I do the method properly) once every month or two. I think I did it 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Try to wipe caches and battery stats. And try bad ass battery monitor its free from the play store

Battery Life on Verizon

So my s5 is at 75% with just 40 minutes of screen on time, so by this math it'll be about 2.5 hours screen time when it dies on it's twelfth hour. It seems to me like the battery should be better. Is this similar to what others are getting. Usually android proces/system aren't at the top but they are here.

lol mine is at 3hrs at 50% so my math says that i will prob get 7hrs screen on time...
my recommendation would be that you check on what apps you are installing and see the phone settings screen brightness,etc

Click to expand...

I don't have hardly anything installed, besides if it was some app I'm pretty sure it would show up on the battery stats, that's why I'm confused.

Battery life between xt1032 & xt1038

Hello everyone, so I had some problems with my Xt1032 and took it back to Argos...they offered to replace and I asked if I could change it for the 4G model since its the same price. They accepted. But the thing is my battery is better on my XT1039 than my 1032 was...which is odd.
I haven't even conditioned the battery yet and I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time with battery life lasting between a day and a day and a half.
My most recent battery life is shown below

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it would be interesting to see..
Also I am using the XDA app which I find horrible. Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place.
There is a thread dedicated to that already...

I've posted on that I mean has anyone had any replacement devices and noticed a large difference.
Oh and the search feature on the mobile app is terrible. Gonna install Tapatalk later...

Radio shows as off+battery frain

So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?

Smartmanager showing different battery results?

I've got my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running stock rom rooted with CF-Autoroot and debloated with titanium backup.
Since I first got the phone I started checking the battery stats, and from they beginning they seem off, as you can see in theese images:
So this is the first screen I get when I open up the smartmanager battery app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The strange thing happen when I click "Battery usage", as you can see, there is a 13 hours difference:
How can I fix this, which one do I rely on, is there another, better app I can replace this one with?
Thank you
Anyone?
Top image is estimated battery time left at current usage
Bottom image is estimated battery left at idle, although this changes drastically if you are heavily using the battery before checking stats
Does not seem right either, left my phone with screen off for twelve hours yesterday, and only about 3% down on the battery, which should make it stay on for far more than 1 day 7 hours?
