What do you mean?
It's normal for a rom to use more battery the first time you use it. Besides that there is no such thing as a fake battery state.

Ok sir
I use amlify, freenify, and boot manager but...
After 3 days using this rom or every CM based rom i lost 25% of battery on 7 hour without using my device.
Sorry for my bad english.

...and?
battery life will decrease when not in use, this happens to ALL phones or electrical devices that use a battery

well obviously everything that is not plugged-in , on the electricity needs power to run, but i think you lost the point of his message,
i think he means that 25% is a lot, for a phone in no use.

I lose more with data on. I think it's normal result for 7 hours.

Custom ROMs need a "settling in" period where the software polls the hardware for its capabilities. The OP may simply be impatient and expecting instant benefits from the ROM without giving it a chance to adjust itself to the hardware. 25% in 7 hours is typical for someone not using Greenify, but it's arguably high for someone using that app. If the OP isn't being impatient, it makes me wonder how old the OP's battery is, since a new battery shouldn't be having this much drain.
The OP would greatly benefit from updating to an Android 6 ROM. In situations where the phone is simply sitting there, Doze kicks Greenify's a** all over the park.

Wing speed

ok you kno when u start your device for the first time or hard rest it, when u slide the phone up and down and the screen is so responsive. But after when it boots up its sluggis. Is there anything out there to make the screen change faster.
Or is there a rom out there with great speed with slowing down the phone?
HelpPlease
Hi rod1189,
I was searching the same thing and tried many of the ROMs, by the way thanks to ROM developers effort and time they gave the privilege of trying different ROMS, finally I am using Just2Clean and I think it is fast, of course not that responsive cause I think it depends on the hardware but when you slide the keyboard it takes about a second to respond, and boot time is nearly 42 seconds.
Overclock it? I have mine set at 312. It's awesome.
Here is the average speed of mine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBkfl2pC00
I use JustMe from ivanmmj, overclock to 299 and remove all the unneeded today plugins using Today Plugin Uninstaller.
On the video I am still using HTC Home but I use a simple rltoday xml skin and it even sped things up more.
But dosent overclocking eat up the battery. and how log does yours battery last b/c mines get drained like crazy without any kind of overclocking program
Battery life on my wing has consistently been under 8 hours for constant use (sms, web(using opera mini) games. Cut that number in half if I use wifi and Skyfire. 48 hours for standby with only sms and a few calls. It doesn't matter if I overclock or not my battery life is pathetic. Honestly I am used to it and just enjoy using my phone. I use a car charger alot when I am away for extended periods of time. My wife has an Xperia and her device last two times more than mine given both scenarios. It is just the battery quality. You might consider buying a bigger better battery if it is an issue.
Note: These are my personal averages and are not metered and verified by any official source.
Mine battery life is great even with overclocking. I can last 3 days without charging but thats just texting and talking. If i use Wifi and internet program(skyfire,opera,IE) it can drain my battery fairly quick. But i only use wifi for short periods at a time anyway.
well if this helps in anyway to determine the problem mines is a
VLN-08
1200mAh
3.7v.
buy a new battery man mines 2000 maah it last me exactly nine hours wit wifi n da battery i bought its called an extended battery for wing so my battery is around 80% longer than da original
highly recomend the battery fix for you.... If your wing is flashed, then you will get bad battery life. period. the cooks need to have the battery fix in the rom or you need the battery fix seporatly if your flashing.
for wizard but the fix works.

Draining before Charging
I have been hearing that people have said that its best to drain your battery and then charge it. Is that true? Because they say on cooked roms they dont give accurate battery readings. And they also drain quick as well.
Any Help would be appreciated.

How long did it end up lasting after you did that. Did our battery stop losing power % like every 8-10 mins. Mines do that now. Now im like whats the point of having new rom for the wing if its juss gonna die this quick with no overclocking or anything.

Battery problems? Google lies?

So I found this great app that tells me how much life I have left on my battery. I find that with my phone I can hardly go pass 16 hours with MODERATE use yet everyone here is bragging about easily passing 30hrs with HEAVY use. So I'm asking you guys, to please, download this app called BatteryTime Lite and post your pics or info here. Lets compare the results. Remember to set the level to 100% as shown in my pic below..
Also I herd the P/N might be related, mine is 99HKE002-00 F ..Guessing F means Failure.

Thats what I herd too..thats why I'm also calling google a lier about saying this thing lasts 20hours with audio playback.
I'm curious, do they see a big improvement in battery when the display using 15-20% battery or its just numbers that were out a place to begin with?
I have identical figures. That combined with picking the N1 from a list says to me that these are just database figures rather than real world ones for your handset.
Root your phone and then install cyanogenmod and one of the under volted kernels. I usually get 24 - 30 hours battery life.
I just ran a test. I left the mp3 player on all night turn all the way on repeat. SO far after 8hrs of playing I was at 52%. If I'm correct, I just might be able to hit 18hrs...MMMM

No problems at all? no 3g issues?, battery only lasting a day or half? or touch screen issues?
Ok after 100% charge..the app is telling me that my phone will last 10hr:48min with moderate use....anyone thinking that the F on my P/N might mean battery sucker..
i have the exact same numbers as you. if you choose other instead of the phone type it asks you to enter your battery's info so it sounds like it only goes by the type of battery anyway. Not actual usage specific to your phone
My phone ends in an F as well. My battery life SUCKS right now. I have tried everything. The weird thing is it was good until I rooted my phone and applied Cyanogen rom. I've tried .2 and .3 for the Cyan rom's, all with bad battery life. I've tried wiping batterystats, fulling draining battery then recharging, task killer to wipe anything in the background, I even have a 2nd battery. No luck. I've also tried the undervolted kernal, but I didn't really notice a difference with it. (Only tried it for about a day so)
Bottom line though, something is going on. Something (I suspect with Cyan's roms) is killing battery life for some of us. I just wish I could figure out what it is.

Any chance you're using Weatherbug or Weatherbug elite (based on your SS)? After installing weatherbug and using the widget I got absolutely ABYSMAL battery life. I've purchased several other weather widgets and none had the effect that Weatherbug did for some reason. I removed it and battery life is back to normal again (moderate use and plenty of battery at the end of the day).

no problems AT ALL
no dead pixels
no purple tint, crystal clear and saturated colors
battery lasts 1.5+ days
3G (at&t) is almost ALWAYS there and quick as balls
palm reach thing is gone.. i mean, i had the t-mob version before this one and its exponentially a better experience all around.
data is QUICK too... i mean quick
How long your battery lasts definitely depends on the apps youre using, I use my phone a lot, probably more than the average user, although i dont make many calls. My phone will easily last from when I leave my house around 530am till 11pm or so when I go to bed. I do use a task manager to kill stuff I dont need running every once in a while, I think it really just depends on how you use it. I use it for a lot of texting, surfing and news, and Pandora at work. I use wifi when im at home although ive never noticed it eating my battery. Yesterday I was playing Pandora over bluetooth on 3G for a little over 3 hours and it only took 5% of my battery. Im on Cyanogen 5.0.5.3, if that matters. With all that said I rarely go all day without charging it, I usually plug it in a bit at work and plug it in when I get home, but if I dont for whatever reason it easily lasts my whole day.

[Q] Best Stock Rom For Daily Use ?

Hi everyone !
I´ve been flashing roms frequently for like a year or so, testing each and every rom released.
Ones are clearly better than others,but every developer is making a good job.
The thing is, since my last 3 flashes,i'm experiencing a HUGE battery drain once i'm over 3G network, so i'm considering flashing a STOCK rom so i can use my phone correctly.
Which is the best BASE ROM i can have ? (JPS,JPQ,JPM... 2.2 Froyo ofc).
I'm tired of flashing and reflashing things that are not working 100%, stability is VERY important.
Also, any idea of whats happening to my 3G ? My battery life is OK once i'm not using the 3G network,but once i turn it on my battery goes down like water in a waterfall.
Thanks in advance.

JPM was very stable. But you can try JPS too.

Actually, all i need is a rom that does not EAT my battery over 3G network.
I guess i've messed up my battery flashing all those roms.
Since i've already calibrated it 3 times and it still draining as much as it was before the whole process

Over 3G usage ...you will definitely get low battery, due to resource usage over the high speed network.
Try My ROM and let me know if it helps your cause ... though my ROM is based on XXJPS and have lots of battery Customization to improve performance the battery backup as well.

I dont think it is normal to have my battery drained like hell over 3G Networks...
I mean,i wasnt like that,it started someday and never stopped.
Do you think that flashing a STOCK rom would fix it ?
All i want is to be able to stay connected to 3G for like 4-5 hours,maybe more.
If i turn it on,my battery drops to ZERO in matter of minutes.
Then its time to change your battery.same thing happens with me.i have already changed so many roms...but after data network on battery drops in 10min...

[Xperia X F5121] Incredible Battery Life on Nougat (Concept 38.3.A.0.107)

Just wanted to point out, without evidence yet, that battery life on Nougat (Concept update 38.3.A.0.107) is amazing. I'm talking about days here.
¿Anyone else experiencing this?
As for the evidence, I will charge my phone to 100% today and upload a battery life screencap as soon as I can.
What? I need that firmware! My battery goes from 80 to 70 in 5 minutes On screen time!!!
Hi,
Just a quick update with a screenshot. Just 2h short of a day with 14% to go, the mostly horizontal part of the graph happened when I was asleep.
SOT for that is 3h13m

Poor Battery Management!!!

I am using this phone from Last 1 week and one thing I've noticed that battery management is very poor. it keeps decreasing without no usage even when the phone sitting on the table. the phone has 4000Mah of battery but there is battery usage tab in the settings like stock android to track down what is consuming more battery. The battery is not even lasting a full day.
I think its better if someone makes or port a Stock Android-based ROM for Samsung A51 or get the solution for Poor battery management.

I think you can check battery management in Setting > Device Care > Battery.
I agree with you that the battery is poor. I cant use the phone in 1 day without charging.
Thanks for the update, let me track down the background apps for 24 hours, let see if I can help to minimize the battery drainage. BCS its the first time when I am using a Samsung phone. I usually like to use phones with stock android & never faced this issue before regarding the battery

Hello !
You said that u can use u're phone 3 days and that's because of the firmware.. Can you give me more information about that please ?
I got recently this phone but the 4000mah is drained too fast, I optimize a lot of thing and got the minimal app in background or fonction like sync. The proof is that One UI is the app that drain the most of my battery.
Finally i think that is because of the screen..
But do you have an solution with a firmware or root for the autonomy of this phone ?
Sorry for my english and thanks for you're answer !
