I recently purchased Redmi 2 and with the stock ROM I think battery is draining faster. I meant, with normal usage (1 hr call, 1 hr music, 2/3 hrs 3g Intenet) , it lasts barely a day (24 hrs). I am not using any extra battery saver app and not sure if there is any such thing pre-installed with this phone. Need some suggestions.
mine using tweaks + greenify, try it.
Try searching in google ... saw a post in miui about this
Try to look the battery usage in setting > additional setting > battery..
If mediaserver is the one consuming the battery, then it must be the mediaserver bug ( im also facing this problem yesterday).
to resolve this bug, try to format your sdcard (backup in pc first) , then factory reset your redmi2..
I've tried this and now my battery is good (not draining anymore).
heating problem
i am using redmi 2 with cynogenmod 11, it works smooth on my device but it get heated when i use 3 or more apps at a time....... someone please help me...
You can use Pure Performance X
For stock ROM use apps like greenfy etc. or otherwise install a custom ROM + custom kernal for both better performance and battery life.
Which custom Rom is bugless for redmi 2?...

BTW My Device model is HM2014811.
Rooting + Greenify, that would suit the best
Rooting, Pure Performance X + Greenfy. Put to hibernate services like facebook (to use only on demand).
You can try tweak too in developer options, like animation times and using GPU instead software to draw 2D.
Short question: did somebody noticed differences when using 4G vs when using only 3G? Is any of the options helping battery life?
thanks!

Hello, everu body ,
what do you do to keep your battery to be used more...
i have a defy offcurse....
Questions go in the Q&A section
Switch to 2g signal(no data), set screen brightness to low, turn off wifi, don't run unnecessary apps and set screen off(sleep) at 15 seconds. I hope this helps answer your question
try juice defender and installl cm7 latest nightly..
juice defender I get 3 days out of mine. Well as long as I dont play around with it heaps lol
You can also install custom roms known to have good battery management... i use walter79's ms2ginger based rom and its gives 2 days with moderate to heavy usage (I play games for a total of around an hour or so daily )
i have a custom rom,
but i don't understand how to use correctly this juice ....
and threads on forum about it ?
I installed the latest CM7.2 from quartx and I get heaps good battery life. I installed V6 supercharger and Setvsel
I didnt change anything in setvsel but I think my settings from changing them in recovery are still there.
It says I am running
30 @ 300
44 @ 600
53 @ 800
58 @ 1000
Now I use setvsel to limit vsel 1 when screen is off and apply sd speed fix.
I dont use Juice defender, I put the power control widget on the main screen and turn everything off (except the 3g) I could add the switch to run 2G only but dont bother. Set the brightness to auto but could set it to Dim or 25% till you need it.
going by battery monitor I have 4d and 13h left on my battery, So I am happy with that!
AVOID using mobile data...if possible use wi-fi to access net...and even if u use mobile data just make sure u turn if off whenever not required..
switch to 2G if 3G is not necessory..
to be frank undervolting wont work save much battery...but still recommended..
switch off GPS and other stuffs whenever not required..
and make sure ur phone is sleeping nicely
Lux auto bright app makes huge difference

I using Juice Defender Ultimate
I find the power control panel on the main screen is alot easier and does everything juicedefender does AFAIK. Just turn on what you need when you need it. Then just turn it off when your finished.
i Agree with kelbygreen .....
most of that stuff can be done mannually and would give u much more control....
but i do almost all that has been said here and still do not get more than 24hrs ...
how do u guys manage to get four days????
please tell me ....
---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------
u really get 4 days????
I am on WIUI and supercharged with SetvSel....
I get a max of 24hrs... that also when i am careful not to use too much of 2G and keep brightness etc at the most optimum for better Battery perfomance...
Please help
Thx in advance
Well I have a defy+ so got 1700mh battery and I doubt I get 4 days (just what battery widget says) I would get 2-3 but I am still setting up this phone so are using it prob 2-3 hrs a night so that drains it as I have wifi and network on and the screens almost always on.
It depends how you use it. I have set mine up now so I may use it to call between 5mins to a hour or so a day and dont really play games so it will last me a while. But as I just put this ROM on and setting and moding things then it uses it up. I been on the phone for about 1.5hrs and playing with the phone prob 3hrs total in the last 28hrs and its down to 48%
Well I just tested my Defy+ once.
Turned off the data,
Screen brightness to min,
& I managed to run it for 4+ days, finally plugged it when battery went to 2%..
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
Hi,
When I first bought GS2, I used to get great battery life overnight like 3% total with app settings below, and my phone was able to last up to 5 days if I don't use them. I use my phone to receive occassional calls and use apps like GPS navigations/browsers for urgent work only.
After many Kies stock upgrades and flashing custom ROMs, my phone is down to ~1-2% battery drain every hour at night, I consider it a lot because I prefer to go multiple days without charging. The ROMs I already tried were CM7, CM9, neatrom, checkrom, etc.
Can someone suggest a ROM that meets my criteria:
Apps:
- default apps / configurations
- Works with gmail sync and have google play
- Works with exchange mail setup
Settings that I can live with overnight:
- 2G
- no data, no wifi, no gps, no sync
Battery criteria:
- no more than 4% drain overnight (8 hours), ideally 2% or less!
gb roms drain less than ics roms do, so if you want more batterylive, i would advise you to install checkrom v6 or other gb roms (checkrom is the best for as far as i know)
i had best battery with it, and then you can undervolt a little bid
manually disabling data when you dont need it saves alot of battery! Data on is one of the biggest drains of battery.
Install betterbatterystats (you can find it for free on xda), and see which apps are causing wakelocks then change their settings or uninstall them.
a long time ago, on checkrom v6, together with phenomenal kernel and undervolting, i only lost 2% or less during the night.
i cant seem to find gb version of phenomenal kernel though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601520)
Lp7 for me has the best batt life, first do a full wipe

Wanamlite with shun kernel
right now rr 2.6 and siyah 3.4 give me awesome battery life, about 1 % every 2.5 to 3 hours.
Stock LPM gave be the best batt life i ever had.
[Q] Battery life terrible, despite trying all the supposed "fixes", hardware problem?
I got my N4 a bit less than a month ago by this point. I've rooted and tried most ROMS from stock to CM10.1 to PA, etc. However, my battery life is consistently not so good. Coming from a One XL on CM10, I was used to bad battery life, but I expected the N4 to be better.
I don't have any screenshots, but here are my averages:
Time on Battery: 10-14 hours
Screen on: ~1.5 hours (usually, never have gotten over 2.5)
Android OS kept awake: ~1-1.5 hours
I know I'm among the group of people with the problem of Android OS keeping the phone awake, and I see all of these kernels attempting to fix the msm_hsic_wakelock issue, but I'm still having that as well.
I'm always on auto-brightness, Google sync on (calendar, chrome, gmail), Google Now enabled, etc. I'm also always on data, usually 2 bars + (the signal never gets worse than yellow on the battery graph.
Lastly, on wifi, all of these issues are gone. My idle battery drain is also phenomanol on wifi compared to data or even no wifi + no data. In about 8 hours I drained ~8% even with the data off.
Any ideas? I'm getting really frustrated. I see people claiming 2+ hours screen time or 20+ hours on battery on stock phones! I'm nowhere near the average battery times.

Android OS is not keeping your phone awake. It's one of those crappy apps you have installed that are causing a wakelock causing the phone not to deep sleep.
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Use it to debug partial and kernel wakelocks (primarily partial wakelocks). Check CPU states using that app or download CPU Spy from play store.
It needs to be deep sleeping.
Google Now: Disable cards that you dont use.
Turn off auto brightness and adjust it to your liking (CM10.1 has a feature if you long press on status bar it will adjust its brightness so you can do it like that).
Use Franco Kernel r23 (it's the most stable one, if you want to experiment you can try r26).
Google Maps: turn off Google Maps Latitude and its automatic reporting of your location and uncheck auto reporting in your location.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5iaWdleWVzMHgwLnRyaWNrc3Rlcm1vZCJd use that app with Franco Kernel (or buy his app) to adjust its kernel settings.
http://zephik.com/upload/Screenshot_2012-12-14-19-05-58.png is a screenshot from last month. Pretty good battery overall for me.
Press the thanks if I helped. Will reply back if you have any questions or follow ups.
I've been on CM10.1 nightly 1231 for 3 days now and I can happily say that my battery is much better than before.
I've averaging 24-28 hours with 3 hours screen on with data only and usually charging at around 10%.
Always Enabled:
All Location Services
Google Sync
Always Disabled (except when needed):
Google Maps/Latitude location settings
Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS
Google Now cards that I don't normally use
Some things I've noticed:
- When I flash a new ROM and restore my TiBu (flashable zip or regular restore) I find that my battery life is average at best.
- When I flash a new ROM and fresh install my apps from the Play Store my battery life is good to great.
- Third party kernels can sometimes be wonky on this phone. I haven't tried Faux or Franco kernel since flashing 1231 because I've been getting great performance on CM kernel.
- When my kernel CPU is set to "ondemand" the performance is average at best. Changing it to "interactive" has helped improve my battery life... with no other kernel tweaks involved.
Apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger seem to cause issues with my battery life also. When I was on CM10.1 nightly 1223 I had Facebook Messenger installed and my averages were 12-14 hours off battery. So by eliminating a few apps on fresh ROM installs I've been able to see the different effects they've had on my battery life. Basically any app that uses GPS can potentially be a battery hog even when the phone is not in use.
So from my points above are also some of my takeaways. Try a fresh install and watch what apps you install. Try a few different kernel governors (esp if you're on a custom ROM). You can improve performance by trial and error!
Good luck.
EDIT: zephiK's points above are also valid and I can confirm they've helped my battery life also.

I agree 100% with Facebook. The facebook app sucks your battery life HARD, especially if you plan to have it refreshing intervals. The app continues to request GPS location, so therefore because of that I disable the GPS on my phone completely (its that bug where if u have GPS globally on your phone you see it on the top left of your screen, and it doesnt go away). I leave FB all notifications off and manually sync it by pulling up on news feed. It's either that or check FB via mobile webpage.
Another thing I forgot is your refresh intervals. Make sure your apps don't have it on like syncing every 5/10/15/30/45/60 minutes. Set it to a couple hours more. using a twitter app? instead of having it sync in the background, just manually do it so you get all the missing tweets all at once. No reason to have it sync in the background randomly.
+1 on interactive. on Franco kernel it uses Interactive as it's default governor and it includes a lot of the latest interactive patches that really help out. It also includes qualcomm fixes with msic (not 100% but its better than stock), and newer drivers that will most likely be included in the next OTA.
Thank you for the replies everyone. In regards to all of the fixes you've suggested, I've tried all of them in the past week or two based on hours and hours of reading. This problem even exists on a freshly installed ROM with the bare minimum apps.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if there may be a problem with the radio in my phone. I live on a farm with an AT&T tower, yet I'm only getting "ok" signal, when I should be getting perfect signal. Called Google and just ordered my RMA, seeing as this battery problem has persisted from the day I first loaded up stock 4.2.1 on the phone upon receiving it.
If you constantly have a low signal, that will drain your battery a lot, because it has to boost the signal and that needs a lot more power.

This would have been useful in your original post. Obviously "worse" signal is going to cause more drain on your battery. Hopefully it's just a flaky radio for you but if the replacement has the same issues then it's something else and you should keep at it until you figure it out! That's half the fun with these phones.
My only concern was that he said android os was up there, so that means he has a app preventing his phone from sleeping.
personally i wouldnt take a RMA on poor battery life but as a result due to signal.... but yeah signal does play a huge factor in your battery life
Hey there guys,
I have been using this phone for two weeks. I have been searching for a ROM and kernels that will save my battery life without loosing the performances. I installed Purelook HD 5.0 ROM with the latest Perseus Kernel. I used eric-filth's settings with the undervolt and some tweaks. I set the "turn off wifi in sleep" to never in the wifi settings. Other than that, i also turned on the "Force GPU Rendering" in the development options. After several hours of usage, i am so impressed with the battery life without turning on the power saving mode
So i want you guys to share your battery life with the screen time. Tell what ROM and kernel are you using and also the tweaks
The screenshot below was mine.
Please not another battery post we have them already going back to the start .
Its just a disguised what rom best rom for battery post .

Hi guys.
How can i get the best battery backup on kenzo?
- No MIUI (at the moment, we can have better and it limits us)
- Try battery saver or something else
- "Flash and forget" , "just flash it" roms
My usage?
Always 10-20% brightness, wifi or 4g, location off. Less than 20 apps, i just hold the necessary.
Surfing, chat, social and calls.
Can you tell me which kernel and parameters for minimum battery usage?
I am agreed about underclock.
My goal is 2 days each cycle or just 10 hours of SoT
I will be grateful for each reply and thank you in advance.
My opinion install nitrogen os .. Forget your worries
Nitrogen os ... U dont need even any custom kernel or tweaking .. use performance + battery backup...best rom ever... don't forget to clean flash otherwise don't complain.... according to your usage u will surely get 10 hrs SOT
and i got 5 hours of screen.
