Hi, I've had my Play for about a week now and absolutely love it. The only thing I don't get about it is it's weird battery usage.. it seems to charge slower than it uses for one thing, and the usage seems kind of random.
Last night I went to bed with about 70% battery usage. This morning I woke up and my phone was off. I tried turning it on while charging but it didnt work (not even a charging indicator), I took out the battery and put it back in which got it working. Once it booted I checked the battery usage and it showed it basically went from 70% to 0% at once..
Also when checking what processes used the battery it seems off.. Camera 15% while I hardly used it, Keypad 5% seems weird as well.
Anyone know what's going on? Is this a common thing with the Play or is my device possibly malfunctioning?
Thanks
Your usage seems nothing like mine. Mine says standby, display and wifi take the most and doesn't even show keypad. And my battery draining is always consistent, it doesn't fluctuate like yours did.

@Naatan I've sent my device to service for the second time now. First time it was something different than this, but since i got it back last monday it has acted like you posted, not exactly the same as you describe but close. My phone also turns of during the night at some point, first i thought it was drained. Had to pull the battery first and then leave it in the charger untill the charging symbol showed before i could boot again and when booted up the lockscreen showed 35% one morning and 62% another morning. So my phone is not draining but acting weird. Even when i turn it off i have to pull the battery to turn it on again. My phone is updated to the newest firmware 4.0.A.2.368 - 2.3.3.
As i said it's at a service place right now (they broke my volume button last time they fixed it, so i had to go back) and when i get it back from repair i will downgrade to 2.3.2 and run it for a week and see if the same thing happens and then i will update to newest for a week and see what happens. I think it's a bug in the new update, randomly hitting devices as they are not all alike as in the hardware behaves a little different from device to device, hence when oc'ing you have to do it a little at a time cuz one clock works perfectly on one device but messes with another.
Will report my findings.

My cell standby is 56% battery usage and its on 11% battery and only off charge 12 hours ago. Horrible atm

I haven't charged mine in 3 days, and have 35% left, with around 3 hours use on wifi for browsing and Facebook

My battery has certainly suffered with the update. The battery life used to be pretty awesome, now id compare it to an iPhone struggling to last through the day. And thats with pretty minimal use.

What's the mystery with this 4.0.a.2.368 update.. I got kinda same problem too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17545087&postcount=13
im using gummynex rom, with the sgs-ns-ics kernel, and the battery drain suddenly became HORRIBLE.
i've used this combo before as well (kernel is on conservative/cfq), but never experienced this kind of drain. cant remember if it happened after updating or what.
1-2 hours of screen time, phone is DEAD. android os 50%+ battery usage.
left my phone unplugged overnight, and this morning when i woke up it was sitting at 40%, and it was 100% when i started sleeping. (6hr 30mins).
i used to get atleast 15hr, should i be changing the rom or the kernel? or downgrading the rom?
wifi = always on
3g/gps/autosync = off
good signal
Mix it up, try a different kernel... if that doesn't help, try a different rom.

You're kidding right? The exact same thing happened to me today! Gummy with matrix.
Down to 8 percent in 2 hours 30 mins.
I restarted, plugged it in and everything was fine.

Could be a hardware issue too.
happened to me as well. Updated to 7.7, less problems after tinkering

Try draining your battery to 0% (until it shuts off by itself). Then, charge it (non-stop) to 100%.
I had similar problem flashed new ROM codename + matr1x kernel
And battery only last 10hrs.
I drained the battery then fully charge and used battery calibration app then drained again and full charge difference was amazing got 22hrs . I left my phone all night with wifi on when wake up 98% .
It might work for you too.

With ICS, you don't have to delete your NS' battery stats, as it resets automatically once it reaches full charge.
I am using the stock 4.0.3 rom with air kernel 3.1....the phone is working normally with 50+ hours of battery time since its unplugged and it still is sitting at 22 percent....
Lol that's funny: see what happened today to my battery indicator:
It was 18%, i shut down the phone for a minute, when i turned on again my Xperia it was at 43% LOL.
Then the discharge was quicker and i had my phone at 5% three hours later.
Strange problem!
I'm on 4.2.2 Generic Es flashed with flashtools.
Same thing happened to me yesterday, im on PAC however.

well seems 4.2.2 don't have better (or even the same level) performance on battery. Needs to be improved by Sony in next edition
Happens to me too, just turned off now it was 20% I forgot earlier on I turned it off and the battery spiked up.
Well at least it'll get a full charge now..
I got the same problem after 4.2.2 update

ive also experienced this once since I updated to 4.2.2 ES version
but its not returned since
yesterday
so thinking it was just a software glitch
I noticed the battery performance getting worse than 4.1.2, I charge the battery until reaching 100% and when I remove the plug; the % goes to 98 and discharges faster, never happened with the later firmware.

It happened after 4.2.2 update battery was 70% then it hit 80% after restart
happened to me a few times... guess that is just bad calibration, think it will be better after a few days of full charge and complete usage.
It's turned off at 15% and kept going for an hour at 1% so far,after a couple of full charges, I haven't checked how they are measuring battery in the kernel source , presume a voltage drop. but the algorithm isn't right.

Just a piece of info for you. Deleting the batterystats.bin file does nothing apart from wipe the info that is used to display battery usage stats when you look at your battery graph. The file is deleted and recreated when the battery is fully charged anyway.
See Android framework engineer Dianne Hackborn's post on the matter - https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13dgb0rksywh3muq222fzkqnwfgdbgrk04
Also, while it's nice to see high standby estimations in the power management app, it is very rarely accurate. If you search around, there are posts complaining that it doesn't work properly

Good to know that this just didn't happen to me. Two days ago I was on about 30% then my phone just turned off. It wouldn't reboot for me though until I had plugged it back in. I don't think I have been getting worse battery life since going to 4.2.2 as it has seemed normal for the last week, it was just that once and I'm guessing it was just reporting it wrong for some reason.
Yup.. Thanks..I saw the post on g+ once but I had no other option.. When I asked some ppl, everybody told me to delete the batterystats.bin file.. so I was helpless..I knew that wasn't the right solution but I had to delete it..do u know any other way we can calibrate our battery for more accuracy?

Battery
same problem happened to me....but what I did was I had fully drained the battery and left the mobile to cool off for half an hour then charged the battery upto 100% then switched on the mobile and did a battery calibration by using 'Battery Calibration' app I don't know whether this method is correct or not but this method has regained the battery life now my battery is draining correctly it seems ok now......

That's exactly what I did but instead of using the battery calibration app I directly deleted the batterystats.bin file,that's what the app does too..and after two to three times charging to 100% and discharging to 0,it worked fine for 2 days and now when my battery was at 28%,I restarted my phone it showed the battery as 56% and the phone switched off at 27%..this is happening even after I did all that battery calibration stuff..I'm really getting mad cuz this bug..I'm hoping an update would roll out soon

Battery Issue
Hello
I know there are many threads about battery life, but those threads did not help me. So my problem is fast battery drain, such as, when I'm checking ez pz rpg for like 5-7 mins the battery reduced by 5%-10% and the back of the phone is warm (like 35°C), when my battery was at 77% I started watching a video (2:45h length) and haven't finished cause for the last 20 mins of video battery went to 5%. I will add my battery is not draining when a screen is off, sometimes when a batter is lower than 100% it can self-charge like 1%-2%. I got that phone 10 days ago so still can send it back, but my question is if it is necessary or I can fix it somehow?
Up
Any idea?

Faulty battery perhaps
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Hmm... dunno then. Battery is ok while screen is off, battery is still at 100% after 6 hours of screen off.
For example my system is running 19h 52mins, Phone Radio ate 13% in 19h 50m 27s, screen 27% in 1h 7m 24s and the "ez pz rpg" ate 12% in 13mins its like 1% per 1 min ... i can show GSam Battery Monitor screens. There is a chance it is not a battery? Maybe cpu have to high timing, 4x 2,2GHz all the time while playing. Can it be?
Hey man.I have the same peoblem over here.Though i have done a lot system changing stuff on my precious lg i am pretty sure the problem is somewhere in the hardware.Did you somehow fix your problem?
How old are your LG G2?
After 3 years batteries usually reach their end the lifecycle.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem that happens to my OPT over and over again.
At night the battery drain is crazy! i was charging the phone and go to sleep with 100%, and in the next morning it was 91%.
I saw a guide that says to delete the cache of the phone but it was helping but only for a while .
I cant flash a ROM into my OPT cause i still have Manufacturer Warranty.
Please tell me if there is an other solution for this
Thanks,
Afik
Same thing Happened on my phone too..
same here
but thers some battery calibration issue from what i know
so it should not affect your SOT or your use-time
Did you turn on Airplane Mode? If not 9% through a nicht with aprox. 8 hours is pretty damn good. For more advice pls post Screenshots and log of Better Battery Stats.
If you unplugged the phone it's a nice standby drain.
Plugged in??? Faulty cable or charger
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
A drain of 1,125%/h is pretty good? 9% over 8 hours?
Hi,
It should not be like that especially with this huge battery capacity,during the night i never charge my phone it always stay next to my bad without connected to my charger,and my Airplane Mode is always off.
Only my WiFi is on during the night,it sometimes its drain only 5% and sometimes more than 5%, the last oxygen is sucks the version before was better.....
1-2% per Hour is pretty good. Trust me. If you want to take a deeper look in what causrs your "drain" look into Better Battery Stats and post some screenshots. A bit more Input would be nice too. Which Kernel do you use with which Settings? Xposed or not?
Unplugged state idle drain between 1-2% untouched stock rom is very good.
Also is normal for my phone to sometimes stays longer at 100% once unplugged.
For the long story read this
