Im on android M and got the Skyhigh kernel and the battery drains very fast but i dont know what to do cause in synapse i already set everything on battery and it seems like the cpu cores doesn't really sleep so all 8 cores are in use all the time and i think normally there should sleep some when they dont needed but i also could be anything other cause android os is the thing that uses most battery if anybody knows how to fix that pls anwer
Thank you
Try to do a clean install of the 6.0.1 than do all steps from skyhigh again. After that you can try to use Wakelock Detector to find the battery consumer.
This is what helped me.

Hi,
Ive recently installed Android 2.2 Froyo on an SD card on my HD2 and the battery is going down so quick... it wasnt great in Windows mobile but now I'm struggling to get it to last all day...
I'm saying to myself this cant be normal, I'm also trying a Samsung Galaxy S and the battery is so much better!!
Is there anyway I can improve the battery power on my HD2, I know in a HD2 the battery is a 1350mah and the Galaxy S is a 1500mah battery.
Should that make such a difference?
I'm considering going back to Win Mobile but dont really want to but havent got any other choice if the battery carrys on like this....
I also notice the screen and back get really quite warm... I suppose Android is making the system work harder?!?!?!
Its safe to say that you havent read any of the threads about battery life.
Before you say I did a search and didnt find anything Ive already typed in battery in search and found a bunch of threads.
Now what you need to do is find out why its running so warm.
It could be the kernal version you are using.
Ways to improve battery life are using setcpu and underclocking. A lot of members use current widget as a method to see when High drain is occuring.
In sleep mode you should be seeing less than 10ma. If you dont see less then this there is a problem.
Set current widget to 1 min intervals.
Dont use task killers they dont help anything no matter what anyone says.
Dont compare the captivate to the hd2. 2 different phones.
I am using mccm 1.5 customize, and CurrentWidget shows 5mA on standby which I think is good enough. Sometimes, it shows 60mA on standby in a while and my battery drains very fast, even I use Advanced Task Killer but it does not help. I have to reboot the phone to get it back to 5mA on standby.
Anyone has any idea of what may cause my standby power that high (60mA)?
Thanks.

Thanks for your tips for better battery life. I was curious about a few things and hope you could clarify a few things for me and some instruction or threads on how to do so. And yes I have searched, that's the first thing I always do before I do anything web based as far as positng.
1. How do you setcpu and underclocking?
2. How do you find the amount of battery that standby takes? i.e. 60mA? How do you get to that setting in android?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Setcpu is an app used to control your cpu speed.

the setcpu dev's site with complete info on how to use it.

To check ma's use (current widget)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776085
long press on the desktop and apply current widget. It will ask you if you want to create a log. Create a log for 1 min intervals. Put the phone to sleep and leave it for a good 5 mins.
You can then open the log file usint astro file manager and check your drainage while sleep.
One thing I found is that If i am having high drain i turn my gps on and restart then it usually settles down and I can turn the gps off.
If you have apps that are syncing you will a higher than normal drain during those times the apps sync. if you set your apps to sync at longer intervals the amount of batter drain will be unnoticable.
I have major battery ocd. I constantly check my battery and have to force myself not to look but still use my phone as any normal person would.
I can pull more than 12 hours easy!
Thanks hazard99!
The first time I ran android I don't think I've had any battery issues and now that I'm looking at the percent on my homescreen Im beginning to feel battery OCD too. It's like I lose 1% atleast every 15 minutes when I look at my screen. But I did take and apply all the tips you told me and I do see that it only uses 5ma when screen is off. I truely don't understand. :/
Stop looking at your screen. Stop worrying. The more you look the more juice you use while the screen is on. There will be more points where the phone is off.

Ive also been trying to investigate this, my standby drain is usually 60+ mA, and during use it jumps to the 200's, strange stuff indeed....For you to have 5mA, lol i wish that was for me too =/

What radio and wm are you using? Do you use SetCPU?
I had high battery consumption, too. But now I found something interesting...
Due I'm not allowed to post links, yet, search for the post with topic:
[SOLUTION] Possible solution for heavy battery drainage.
With this fix: over night I only lost 20% instead of 59% of battery.
uninstall SetCPU

im using the same radio as you (2.10), energycookie rom 21916, and my setcpu is at interactive 245/729, and for sleep its at 245/384, hastarin kernal.
Use a Battdrv.dll from older HD2 ROM 1.48 Etc. I'm not sure if you recmod the module and replace the current one in Windows if you will get the same benefit as if you cooked the driver in.
i just updated my kernal to the latest zimage in mattc's froyosense's evo tree, and my standby is around 6-11 ma now, guess that solved some issues lol, anyone know whats the normal operating ma power consumption for texting?
EDIT: Now when i try to enable wifi i simply get "error", did i mess up on something? =/
EDIT: Solved above problem. WOOT!
Hi !
i own an nexus 4 device and i have a battery problem .
before i baught this device i read online and i already knew that his battery isnt very good , but i never taught it would be that bad !!
i barely touch the phone and thr battery keeps draining !!
my question is what can i do to make it better..maybe to replace my rom , or install another kerner...anything please help !
thanks in advanced, Orel
turn off stuff which you are not using, eg. data, bluetooth, NFC, wifi, location services;
and turn your screen brightness down as much as possible.
that's all you can do, but it should make a big difference.
also think about investing in a compact portable battery charger.
My battery life on my Nexus 4 is awesome.
Download wake lock detect to find what apps are eating up your battery.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS51enVtYXBwcy53YWtlbG9ja2RldGVjdG9yIl0.
Install a custom rom and go try a custom kernel.
DO NOT ASK WHAT ROM AND WHAT KERNEL IS THE BEST
Try all of them and see how it is for YOUR device. Try undervolting if you want to. Personally I'm running PA with Franco with a -100 undervolt. 8 hours on standby takes away about 1-2 %.
Hello everybody.
I installed a flashable NH6 rom. But Android system kills battery very much... I wipe and install rom again but android system consumes the battery life very much.
One days ago android system consumes 75% but i open airplane mode i remove battery and remain one minute. I insert the battery and boot my phone... and i remain 10 minutes and i close airplane mode...
Touchwiz restarts immediately and phone says welcome to Samsung! Popup
It partially fixed android system battery usage but 21% is very much
Can anybody help me ?
And sorry for my English

You can use wakelock detector, than find out what apps or system that make ur battery drain fast, than u can use greenify to hibernate that apps or system,,
use... *amplify.... *power nap..(need xposed framework) *myandroidtoolspro *greenify pro........ have a good battery life using these

Hey guys
I am experiencing too much of battery drain. In lineage14.1
Which is bugging me a lot....
Too much of heating
I am on stock lineage kernel.
Guys please suggest me some roms and kernel settings combination because it is too much irritating....
I am writing this thread with 0% battery (with powerbank connected)
By any chance didn't you recently copied a video file to your phone ( maybe mkv format ) ?
@ehsan_zt no bro... I had no mkv files... And after your saying... I deleted each and evry video from the device
ok, I thought maybe its the old media server bug...
You can install one of those apps that tells you "which process is utilizing how much cpu" . also check min cpu speed of your phone in kernel auditor(and monitor cpu speed for anything unusual).
do a clean flash of this rom.
and lastly check if other people with this rom have this kind of problem (I remember people saying recent lineage os updates were draining battery fast ).
Look, developers don't use to change CPU voltages, use my kernel, I fixed this issue
I change the LineageOS to Mokee 6.0 because this issue. Lineage is a great rom but high battery drain in standby. Mokee is the best choice to better battery backup. Try this.
AOSPextended has great battery life.Lineage doesn't give much backup for me ;Now i get about 3.5-4 hrs SOT.
use Greenify and CPU Hibernation app on all roms you use.
hey bro.. tried out your kernel .. performance increased a lot...
but battery issue still persists ... 40% to 0% within 2 hours of standby and 30 min of usage.....
Hello guys,
first of all im running ressurection rom (Android 7.1.2) , Franco Kernel and twrp.
I cant date the issue back but its Quite for a long time now, my batterylife is really poor my phone loses 15 percent of battery in 15 min of usage and i cant spot why.
But sometimes it stays at a percentage for like 5-10min before it drops more
Furthermore my CPU is running four cores all the time and atleast one is at 100% all time i thought that maybe the issue but dont know how to fix it, this happend on Xenon HD also and even with another kernel.
Also deep sleep is mentinoned as never used.
My Installation is fresh and clean flashed even with a factory reset.
Only telegram ,whatsapp , greenify and spotify are installed besides the gapps.
Maybe someone knows a solution.
(Twrp is quite old but i dont think thats the issue(?))
Edit: here is a screen of it usage with no apps open
Hi,
there is malware which uses android phones to mine monero coins, it drains CPU like hell and can even damage the battery. Did you scan your phone for malware?
Yes i did using Malwarebytes, but yesterday on another Installation
