Hi all
At the moment I seem to be getting about 10hrs out of my battery that came with me brand new HD2!
I was told to upgrade my radio which i did to 2.08 and firmware which i did to ENERGY ROM 23544 but the battery life is the same, maybe i have a faulty battery!!!!
I just did a Battery Log and need your help in trying to find the problem and hopefully getting me to the point of my phone lasting 24hrs would be good!!!
the phone was put into standby mode and left yet it goes upto 200+mAh when the screen is off
ok i have email checked every 15min
no weather
no location
no facebook or twitter
just emails
wifi off
WMlongbatterylife installed so 2G all the time except when running certain apps which are not in use when in standby, I have emails to use on 2G
just cant understand why it can go to 12mAh in standby but not stay there,(in standby mode is 12mAh high)
ok a little increase but not 250+mAh, i could understand it being every 15mins for the email but its every couple of minutes!!
in taskmanager all that was in it for this test was active sync and arkswitch, plus batter Log v0.2.1.1
Please please help
Battery Log
Battery Test Graph
just in case the test was too small, i did a test on the 15th March which i will also upload just in case it can help, many thanks
15thMarch Bat Test
Way too short indeed. Make one over one whole day, or at least over 50% of the battery, and if possible tell when the phone is in standby and when in use, hard to guess what you're doing from the log.
I did Nothing, the 1st log was the phone in standby, the screen was off so why would it go up and down in the 2nd graph when its in stand by, its crazy that every couple of seconds it goes upto 200+ mAh
the short log and graph are the same time when the phone was in standby!!!
I meant on the longer log, the short one is too short to see much.
You certainly have some program that wakes up the device repeatedly to do whatever...
I have had my phone since december. My experience was also unforgivingly short battery time to start with, just as you have. My experience is however that the battery time has increased more or less continously up to now. Now it may last one full day, through the night and maybe all of next day (with moderate use and no automatic checks). Letting the battery down to 1-3% before charge did speed this process.
Where can I find such Battery Log / graph app ?
i did a bat log test last night when i was sleeping and if you could have a look at it when i post it that would be great i was sleeping so i do not understand why it shows a 150+mAh strange!!
all that is running is emails every 15mins i did a bat log test last night when i was sleeping and if you could have a look at it when i post it that would be great i was sleeping so i do not understand why it shows a 150+mAh strange!!
so to make clear, last night i was sleeping, phone in standby mode but i have emails every 15mins
no weather
no twitter
no FB
no location
wmlonglife installed
as far as i know its just emails are running every 15mins
when i go in task manager all that is there is active sync and bat log
but if i go in processes i see more
Bat Log App
Bat Log running all night when i was sleeping
These are the processes that were running
Wow, your nights are short
Anyway, there's something that prevents your HD2 from going to standby, as there's no "hole" in the log. I was suspecting it was the logging software itself (if it logs, the device must be running, right?)
But I tested it and it doesn't seem to cause trouble, see attached log. When the device is properly off, the log stops.
I also tried without logging but by watching the graph, knowing each square is 15secs by default (3x5), during a 10min standby the graph only advanced 15sec, so the time out of standby is minimal.

haha yes sad to say last night was short, head hit the pillow at 2am and was up at 6am
but thanks for replying
so like i said i have my emails downloaded every 15mins, could this stop my device going into standby??
i used to have it set up through gmail but with the bad battery time i thought i would try outlook, tried push which got them instantly but that was a shorter battery so now i am trying through outlook but every 15mins like i had before, but still just as bad!!
on all the logs i have done when i press my power key so my screen goes off and i do not touch my phone my mAh just never stays low, sometime over 200+mAh with the screen turned off so my battery just dies in 10hrs!!
as far as i know from the apps in task manager and the processes all i have running is my mail and the needed system processes so i am struggling, i would kill for it to last 24hrs and i never thought i would say that because that is still short i think!!
another 1350 extended battery on its way but i think no matter what battery i have if the phone is using upto 200+mAh in standby then it will just drain it too
please help as i am stuck now
I'd try getting rid of the programs that run (shakeandsave and possibly wmlonglife, one at a time).
If it still fails... well, reflash another ROM with the recommended radio, with prior mtty erase, then a good hard reset after flashing (read the flashing tutorials for those), and try again without installing any program.
Push should use less power as it only turns on and transfers data if needed, not every 15mins for nothing.
I run with data, wifi and push active 24/7, and a 8hr night only eats me 5-10% of battery.

Thanks for that great set of advice
not wanting to sound like a school yard kid being a copy cat but 5-10% sounds great to me, dont suppose i could know what ROM and Radio your running so i could try your setup....please!!!!!
thanks for all your help
Check my signature, the ROM already contains the appropriate radio and it works fine at least where I am.
Since your advice on removing WMlonglife i have a question
that app used to disconnect my internet connection when i finish with the internet or when it checked me email
but now because i do not have the app when i click the top bar on my home page it shows my internet connection and battery and always at the side of the top bar is the clock ticking away saying i have been connected for 13hours and increasing, now yes i have a unlimited internet kind of, its meant to be unlimited but they said its a 3GB limit and when i go over 3GB they will just decrease my internet speed, so i have no problem with it being connected all the time but wont that use my battery????
Nope, being connected all the time has no drawback that I could notice. And as you said they'll bother you if you transfer more than 3GB, time doesn't count.

Excellent, then i will let the time tick away since its not downloading anything unelss its fetching an actual email
in that case it looks like the problem for me was WMlonglife which is crazy since its an app to make battery life longer it did the opposite for me
i unplugged my phone from a full night charge at about 9am and now its nearly 4pm and i am on 88% with push email on and about an hours music and changing setting ang general going through the phone and replying to about 12 emails so far which i have recieved since taking my phone off charge!!
also 3G but no BT or wifi running!
if this keeps up i will easily get through a full day and now i have 2 batteries i think all is good
so thank you, thanks for the fast replies and all your help!!

Great, your battery life is even better than mine now
Recently I have noticed on several occasions that my phone have gotten hot and started eating away the battery. One time I had around 30% battery and the phone was laying in my pocket. I felt the heat through the pockets and took it up to see what's up. It then had 0% battery and turned itself off.
When looking at battery use in settings, it's hard to pick out one specific application that might do this. If anything it would have to be "Android system", right now it's tied with the screen on 40%, but I charged the phone an hour ago and I haven't used the screen much.
Edit: I should add that the same thing just happened, from 99% to 89% then it stopped. That's why the information above about battery usage is relevant.
Do you think it might be hardware-related, like a partial short circuit or something, or is it most likely a software thing?
Bump. 10 signs.
Had mine for a few days, have not experienced anything like what you describe
I have though felt the screen get hot when turned on full brightness and reading a e-book on it (white - black text)
Well this is while it's laying in my pocket, with the screen off, so it's not the screen. (it's the battery that gets hot)
Take it back.
[Funny story that probably isn't relevant. I had a dodgy micro sd card that made my phone drain battery super fast and as a result my phone got incredibly hot. Took it out and it's back to normal.]
Sounds software related to me, your android system should definitely not be 40% of your battery. It sounds like some rogue app/process is utilizing your cpu and thus your battery very heavily. If you select the "Android system" in the battery usage list, does it not give you a further breakdown of what is included in that that is using your battery? Also, what does it say for the cpu time for the android system?
May be firmware bug
I've had this happen to me a few times when I was running the original firmware. In some early firmware there was a bug related to switching between wifi and 3G, which would get it stuck so that you couldn't toggle wifi on or off. The times this happened to me, it was also stuck in the wifi bug (although I had the wifi bug and it didn't drain the battery).
I now run the newer firmware (JG4) and both problems have stopped.
I've had this problem with my asian i9000 since the beginning. The app called Top showed me that it is ksoftirq/d that is running and System Panel showed me that the cpu was running at 100% at 1ghz.
At first the only solution seemed to be restarting the phone. However some information shared on this forum led me to try restarting wifi which also works. For that thread search for "ksoftirq/d."

I have had the "stuck wifi" bug, but I'm not sure if it was happening the last time this happened. I'll check it out the next time.
There's no official firmware update on Kies for Norway yet, so I think I'll wait for one.
Had exactly the same problem and tracked the culprit - it was Fancy widget in my case. Removed it, installed Beautiful widget and all is well since
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That might actually be it. If I'm not mistaken Fancy Widget had 30% battery consumption when I checked. I deleted it just to see if it would make a difference. So far so good.
Some details:
Fancy Widget will hit the 100% cpu on auto-refresh if there's no data connection available (either wifi or cellular). It seems there are 2 bugs with Fancy Widget; it ignores "auto-refresh off" option and it tries to connect to server even when offline.
A dirty work around would be to set refresh time to let's say 12 hours and make sure to manually refresh at least once every
That makes me even more convinced that Fancy Widget is the culprit. I usually have cellular network disabled (APNDroid On/Off Widget) to save battery and my wifi connection keeps loosing connection, probably due to some software bug in XXJF3 stock firmware.
This is my first android phone and I'm wondering if I am doing anything wrong. Yesterday I charged my phone and it was at 83%. I unplugged the phone and went to sleep, when I woke up this morning the battery was completely drained.
This happens a lot. Even if I am not doing anything it still drains like crazy. I just text, make some phone calls and it barely makes it through the day. I don't play any games, no gps, no Bluetooth or anything. With my plan, I don't have a data connection so I can't connect to 3g/4g so that shouldn't drain anything.
What could I be doing wrong? When I'm done using the phone I tap the power button on top, the screen goes black - to sleep I presume and I put it away. I had an iphone before this and I did exactly the same thing and the battery lasted for 3-4 days on one charge.
Whenever I see what's using up the battery, the display tops the list. The display is using up 75-80% of the battery. If the phone is asleep for most of the time why is the display using up that much battery? Am I not putting the phone to sleep correctly?

If you cant connect to 3g/4g, you should turn it off in settings. Otherwise, Your phone will constantly look for a signal, draining your battery.
Battery life is all relative. Every single person will experience different battery life. The apps you have installed, the amount of time you spend on it and the time you spend on/in each app, distance from cell towers, distance from Wi-Fi sources, settings you have for every app and things like sync and what not.
The first thing to check is if your phone is being affected by the init or suspend bugs. The good news is the former has an easy fix, and the latter can be temporarily fixed by a reboot.
First, download & install Watchdog Lite from the market. Then open its preferences and check "include phone processes," "monitor phone processes," and "display all phone processes." Then just use your phone as normal. It may take a while before you get an alert from Watchdog (and maybe you never will and it ends up you have a different problem). But if you do, note the process that is the culprit.
If it is the init process, go to settings>applications>development> check "usb debugging."
If it is the suspend process, reboot the phone. It should keep it from happening again for a while.
I know the second answer isn't really an answer, but so far it's all we've got for that problem. There is more information on the 2 problems in these threads:
Init:

Good luck...I had both of the problems and my phone didn't last to dinner time. Now I get better battery life than the iphone 3GS I had before this...about a day and a half of moderate use.
EDIT: also you'll probably want to go to settings>wireless & networks>uncheck "mobile network" since you don't have a data plan. No reason to have that on since you don't have a data plan.

I installed this using the Moderate setting, and then selected those options as recommended in preferences.
Does Watchdog use a lot of system resources when running in this manner? Will it cause the battery to drain noticeably faster?

Completely unnoticeable, IMO.
I installed watchdog lite and I have had couple of alerts. I got suspended couple of times and I also got Android system once.
Android system - 50.1%
Foreground
Suspend - 54.4%
Linux Process
I turned off the data usage from the settings and it did help save battery. The display is not using so much battery life anymore. It went from using 70% to 35%.
Edit: Battsatt reported that the battery was at 93%. When I saw the two alerts above I rebooted the phone and Battsatt now starts reporting the phone is fully charged.
Make sure the GPS is turned Off, too...
All these answers and the easy ones were not mentioned..
Make sure you shut your AUTO SYNC off...
Make sure you lower your brightneess....
Make sure you turn off GPS(was stated above me)
Turn off your wifi if you are not using it.. make sure you are not transmitting your hot spot stuff...

You just summed it up right there. You are experiencing the 'suspend' issue, period. There is no app you can install to fix it. There is no app you can uninstall to fix it. There is no setting you can adjust to fix it. There is no fix for the 'suspend' issue, literally.
I started the following thread in an attempt to consolidate posts and hopefully work toward flushing out what the real issue is...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872839
This is a real, legitimate issue with Android 2.2.x Froyo. As I linked in my post, this is Issue # 11126 on Google Code...
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126
If there was an app or setting that fixed the 'suspend' issue, we wouldn't even be discussing this right now. There are fixes/workarounds for a lot of things, but right now, the 'suspend' process issue truly is a mystery. No one, not a single person has yet to post, "this is the cause of the issue," let alone a fix for it.
I wish you had a fix man, I really do. My fiancee experiences this and there's only one way she's found to sort of workaround it, sort of - she reboots her phone every morning. This seems to keep it at bay, at least more so than when she doesn't reboot each morning, once she takes it off the charger. She still gets it though and she's just used to looking for Watchdog and checking her processes now.
This thread could go on and on forever but it comes down to this:
- The MT4G does not have insane battery drain and will give you about 12 hours of life, under normal>medium usage. If your battery is draining insanely quickly AND if you're seeing the suspend process jacked up so high, then there.is.no.fix.yet.
There might be a ton of other replies after this about uninstall this, install that, change this, don't use widgets, use widgets, etc. Those attempts will be futile.
For a month or more I'm facing totally unexplainable battery drain.
As seen on the screens below, the phone is awake, but it is not detected anywhere - not by android nor by GSam. In any case the battery draws faster.
I have one observation tho - this happens after I make phone calls. Not every time, but once per 2,3 days.
Any ideas?

You have this problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274
I'm pretty sure that I don't have this issue. Yes, the percentage in GSam maybe high, but I don't believe this reflects what is happening.
First of all - I don't have bad battery life. Usually my over night drain is less than 1%/1h.
Second - the issue appears sporadically.
Third - in the provided thread I don't see the issue appearing in stock battery monitor, while mine appear.
At last - my battery drains faster only while the issue is present and before I restart. After that it is back to normal ...
@Spo0f
Just some suggestions maybe you're using 3g I always have that turned off and switch it on when I use it my guess is that some apps are causing your drain after a call maybe like you said if you're not fimiliar with greenify I suggest you use it to stop all those apps and system apps also uninstall all those bloatware you don't need or at least freeze them if you don't mind lower the resolution to 1080p with nomone app use power save or disable dvfs and use an app to lower and raise the CPU to save juice when not needed....
Thanks for the suggestions, but as I said - this problem appear sporadically - home when using WiFi as well as outside when using 3G.
All of the rest is done - I'm no newby

Oh sorry mate well I don't use much 3g so I can't help you there but if you're having drainage when you're using WiFi in general then maybe you should reconsider investigating the post above with the link I don't have so much drainage on connectivity with 3g or WiFi....viewing the pics you uploaded it seems suspicious.... Maybe an app? I don't know...
Use wakelock detector

My overnight drain was also very low, but that was because the faulty device on the network was asleep at night too (my desktop).
If you're not rooted, use the PC version of Wakelock Detector at the end of your day and post screenshots of your highest drainers for the various categories. In my case, the device was being woken up by something on the network and it showed.
Bear in mind that actively downloading something in the time period will also raise wifi power used but more stats will help.
The fact that you're still experiencing a lot of drain even when outside suggests it might be a rogue app
One phone call today and after it the phone stayed awake.
Because I had issue with the PC WLD the screen shots are from 11 minutes after one of the disconnects. The device was awake all of them.

I also checked out my battery behaviour this night and was very disappointed. Although my phone was in flight mode and every peripherals and services shut down, today morning my phone was crying for energy. So I made a quick investigation in my power diagram and found out, that "Android OS" requested a wakelock during the whole power-on time. So I installed "CPU Spy" to check in which states the phone was really over the whole charging period. I couldn't believe my eyes. Although the kernel should do it's job good, cause most of the CPU times are in lower freqeuncy states, the deep sleep mode was never activated.
Therefore I installed an app called "Wakelock Detector" to check out which apps could cause that. I found out, that S Health had a big amount of wakelocks and also active-time, so the first thing was to disable S Health. After some minutes I checked back, but nevertheless still no deep sleep time in "CPU Spy".
So I searched around and found another one arguing about the wakelocks and that they could be the products of some programming issues concerning WiFi. The should be gone, after turning off WiFi and rebooting yout phone. And it seems that he was right. I waited some time and hooray, "CPU Spy" listed the phone state "Deep Sleep" the first time as an active state and also with the major active-time. So at least that was some step ahead. (I have to remark, that S Health was already unfrozen at this time, so S Health should not be responsible in any way.)
The next step was to reactivate WiFi, leave it on and set the phone on standby. After some time I checked back again the phone showed even more deep sleep time. So that was an improvement. I reactivated everything and waited some time... Deep Sleep all over the time. Can't figure out for now, if it was S Health, WiFi, or anything else that caused the wakelock for sure. At least the reboot helped. I'll check that out on a long-term test, maybe I get some further conclusions.
Not sure what exactly this does but it's some sort of diagnostics or logging program tmobile uses. I had my phone on airplane mode as I was in a place without service. WiFi on, WiFi calling enabled, Bluetooth enabled, WiFi set to always on when phone is asleep. I did not touch this phone for 4 hours. It was within my sight the whole time and I didn't have a chance to pick it up because I was so busy. I picked the phone up for the first time since setting it down with 100% battery life and realized it was very warm and that the battery was down to 32%. Nothing was showing in the battery optimizer, nothing out of the ordinary, no rogue apps or anything. Android system was at 50% usage and the next one down was com.tmobile.pr.adapt. Reboot did nothing. Lost another 15 percent in the next hour.
Long story short I did a lot of troubleshooting and realized that com.tmobile.pr.adapt was actually the culprit behind Android system showing such high battery usage. I used package disabler pro and disabled this process. Problem is now gone for good.
I highly suggest you consider this if you are having unexplained battery drain or a hot phone with high android system usage. Picture attached.

Disabling NOW, big ups too you kind sir.
I still got a drain and that wasn't in my processes on titanium. Still has android 25% usage.
I'm rooted and this app asked for superuser privileges. It's some kind of security monitoring app that reporys back. I didn't grant privs and froze it with Titanium BU. It's nice to know I'm saving battery, too.
Try doing the same with Samsung+. Another battery hog.
I'm not rooted and I've been disabling bloat all morning trying to get the battery as close to usage stats were before the recall debacle. I'll sacrifice the smoothness to not have to charge this battery draining hog halfway through the day.
com.tmobile.pr.adapt is the process that allows T-Mobile diagnostics (see what apps are on your phone, how you use them, if you're rooted)
I just deny them permission to run diagnostics when the option is presented (when you first set up your phone) and it never runs. You can also go into the T-Mobile app itself, and disable diagnostics. No need to freeze the process itself.

Completely untrue.
I always 100% uncheck the box during setup to disallow tmobile from doing ANYTHING. I have factory reset my phone and reflashed the firmware around 10 times and always be sure to uncheck that. When you do there is a toast message that pops up at the bottom that says "please allow 48 hours to process your request". Process still ran yesterday and destroyed over half my battery.

I think it only arises when in airplane mode with WiFi calling enabled. I had Bluetooth on as well and WiFi calling was set to network preferred. It may take those exact circumstances to reproduce it, I don't know. I have had the phone since release and this is the first time I've seen it happen, but if it can happen to me it can happen to others. Also no tmobile app or process should ever be requesting root permissions so the process should be killed regardless.

It may take those exact circumstances to reproduce it, I don't know. I have had the phone since release and this is the first time I've seen it happen, but if it can happen to me it can happen to others. Also no tmobile app or process should ever be requesting root permissions so the process should be killed regardless.

Could be. I disable WiFi calling from the moment I see up my phones, so that scenario would never occur for me. I'll tell you what though, Samsung+, S Health and S Voice always get disabled immediately because they are battery draining monsters IMO.

It is in fact part of T-Mobiles app that will report back device info. That is usually the first thing that gets frozen on my devices. Love being snooped on by my carrier.
