Well, after i tested almost every single ROM in the development section, there was a time that the battery behaved quite abnormal.
First when the phone was charging, many times it "jumped" from around 70% to 100%. While discharging with only WiFi open, it often drop from around 30% to 10-15% and then up again.
I tampered with the Governor setting, but it didn't improve much. But I did found something that somehow fixed the issue and improved the battery life quite a lot and also fixed the "jumps" while charging and discharging.
Backup whatever you need (SMS, Call Log, Bookmarks) from your favorite backup program
Download the Stock Rom Official RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1 , thanx to nitr00
Reboot in Recovery (CWM, 4EXT, whatever you use) and do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache & Dalvik and Wipe Battery Stats
Flash the Official ROM you downloaded, reboot your phone and complete the Initial Setup.
Again, reboot in Recovery and do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Flash your favorite ROM (clean install) and restore your program, settings and backups
All done :highfive:
I know that it's somehow strange method but it worked on my phone running IceColdSandwich v8.8 and on a friend's (had the same issues mentioned above) with PACman v16.1. I had no more "jumps" and the battery life improved significantly.
Since this is my first thread, i'd like to thank the fine community here in XDA for their work and efforts I really hope that the above advice help also other people.
Sounds interesting going to try it.
Hi,
thank you for sharing, got the same bug, and will try your method.
I will report back, if it worked
Bye,

No, I didn't format /system, but feel free to try it... As I said in the first post, it surely is a weird fix. But worked for me
Going to try your version and see how it goes.
not sure if this works with viperdhd as it format system upon install.
Why is the Rom in 2 parts?
Worth trying, but I'd hate to have to reinstall all apps again... any chance it would work with nandroid backup of current ROM? i.e. Backup ROM, flash stock -> restore ROM?
@OP
Did you ever just try to use the superwipe script before flashing a new rom ?
Who?

The problem with custom ROMs that battery isn't calibrated : ROM doesn't "know" what voltage is 100% charge, and what 1%.
An easier fix that worked for me
1) use your phone till it shuts down due to lack of power. It could easily work about 2-3 hours @ 1% level
2) charge it to full charge

I meant the OP, to me it looks just like symptoms from flashing a custom rom without a proper wipe and/or not deleting the battery stats.
I'd also not recommend depleting the battery completely, a deep discharge isn't good for the battery.
Battery doesn't jump on custom Roms with kernel based on stock. Like android 2.3.5 with either sense 3/3.5 or aosp/aokp with Android 2.3.x.
Still no reply saying whether this method helps or not? Where did the testers go.
I have tried this method but the results are random. On sense roms it has no effect but on cm/aokp/pa it works for a few cycles but after playing a game for about an hour the phone will charge in your pocket

poor trick doesn't work.
Battery Jump Issue
I did read this somewhere in this forum. I am not able to recollect it
Download the Battery Calibrator..
Download the Current Widget... and put a small widget in your screen which shows the amount of current being used from your battery.
Charge your Phone until the Current widget shows 0mA (Green Battery Full Indicator or 100% charge is not enough)
Open Battery Calibrator and then click on calibrate battery and then take it off the charger.
Let the phone discharge completely to 0% (It should power off by itself of no charge)
Then charge the phone completely on one go till the current widget shows 0mA
Now, your phone battery should be good Atleast, your Battery Jumps should be gone by now
You can search for similar post, if you are not satisfied with this there are other options people might suggest
Please dont forget to press "THANKS" if this post helped you
Phone: HTC Desire HD
ROM: Jellytime_R31
Battery Calibrator its work corectly!!
I've been having strange fluctuations in the battery which I noticed and I was assuming it was some of wake locks or alarms causing this drain.
I also noticed the battery getting heated during charging.
The weirdest issue I faced is that every first boot after full barge reduces to -10%later reboots meet them intact I noticed this on stock rom and custom rom also, Also while charging I saw that from 93%to 100 %jump was just in few min which is totally ubnormal.
Tough my fast charging was turned off.
Hopefully it's just a battery issue I can't live without this device after giving it for service.
Is anybody else having these issue ??
I think its a software issue did you try doing a factory reset ? Disable all the useless apps? Remove the battery once in awhile? Jumps from 93-94%to 100 is not uncommon

I guess this has been fixed by resetting the battery gauge after full charge to 100% I had to pull the battery wait for about 3mins and put it back after this reset procedure looks like the last 2 charge cycles dint have those random drops after reboots, but I've the battery drains I need to figure out what problem is I get a maz of 4hsot.

@Pratik Thanks your suggestion, I already Did this, Flashed Stock was on Stock for some time approx1day could not bear it flashed our Rom all is good so far needs a bit or battery tweaking.my app usage always is 60%> so it may take a while for me to understand on how this can be fixed.
Hey there!
I flashed the official Lollipop (Germany) rom that is posted in the Note 4 General forum two days ago without doing a factory reset. Right now, I am experiencing horrible battery life. GSAM reports that the phone radio is using 35% of the battery life. I also see the 4G icon blinking every few seconds, indicating that mobile data is being used. How can I solve this? My battery life was perfect before flashing Lollipop...
Many thanks in advance!
Screenshot just in case:
Maybe you should try a factory reset.
Although I updated without resetting and one of my friends did a full wipe before and after, and we both see a decrease in battery life. Nothing too horrible, but noticeable. So I think it's just Lollipop. After all, even the Nexus devices have been having battery issues with it.
See if a factory reset helps you, worth a shot.

Thanks for your advice. I will be sure to give it a shot. A decrease in battery life is pretty bad if you ask me. I thought Project Volta was supposed to improve battery life, not decrease it. And definitely not as much as is happening to me. By the way, the phone radio is still constantly active. I hope a fix will be out soon.
Can you check your Power Saving menu? I have similar problems with all apps that are using mobile data. Their Total connection time is really long even though I have used them for a few minutes.

Unfortunately a factory reset didn't help. My battery is still draining way too fast.. I can get around three and a half ours screen on time. Previously that was around five hours. I will check the total connection time later on when my battery has drained a bit!
Horrible battery drain in my handset, too. 910F model with German rom.
Flash echoe lollipop rom.waaaay better then stock.no more battery drain for me and much faster!
Formating cache partition helped me to get rid of the battery drain.

That sucks. It seems like this is a very serious bug in Lollipop. You'd think Google would have it figured out in 5.0.1 but that doesn't seem the case. Very annoyed by this.

here the same battery drain of facebook after lollipop upgrade (germany)
when i unplug wifi it starst keep stay connected to facebook and it grows even bigger than screen battery consumption.
heve you fixed it?
thanks!
I found WiFi to be the culprit for the rapid battery drain on Lollipop. Check out the following posts with my observations so far:
iridaki said:
After updating to Lollipop, I found that the phone behaves very differently. I have high "stay awake" times, caused by Android OS, even on Ultra Power Saving Mode. However, screen on time is still close to 4 hours, which is what I was getting on KK with my usage.
Before people jump in and say I need go factory reset, no I don't, there's another Note 4 in my home right now that was wiped before and after the update and shows the same symptoms.
Also I did install Gsam, but I'm not rooted, so it didn't give me more information than the stock battery stats page.

iridaki said:
UPDATE: I think I found the culprit. It's the WiFi. What I did today was charge my phone to 100%, switch WiFi off, disconnect from the charger and reboot. Then went about using it as usual, only I didn't turn WiFi on at all, not even for a second (weirdly enough, the battery stats report WiFi being on briefly at times, but that's another Lollipop bug).
The results were a big increase of SOT (+1 hour, see my previous post for comparison), no more permanent wakelock and increased standby time.
My findings are consistent with reports from Nexus users, claiming WiFi on Lollipop is a battery killer, even on 5.0.1, which was supposed to be an update to fix said issue.
Now, not turning on the WiFi is not really a viable solution for me, as I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I sure hope Samsung will fix this problem soon.

Below are screenshots showing battery behaviour with WiFi on (first 3 images) and with WiFi off.
It's important to point out that simply turning WiFi off doesn't appear to bring battery drain back to normal.
Turning WiFi off and rebooting fixes the issue, so long as you don't turn WiFi on again.

LOLLIPOP
I've started to have very poor battery life 7 days after installing the DBT lollipop. 60% after 4 hrs use today. It was good at first but has been getting worse by the day. Something was making the phone get hot just now so restarted and its cool shortly afterwards. However I cannot identfy what it was causing the overheating.
Is it worth trying to wipe the cache? I did a factory reset after the install as it was boot looping. I really do not want to reset it weekly! Google is crap at backing up all the apps - 160 out of 196 were reinstalled after the factory restart. Very poor.
Hello Experts,
My Battery is draining like crazy. I tried almost everything to figure out what is the issue but could not figure out. Below are the details I gathered from the things I tried.
My battery started draining almost 30 % overnight. Initially I thought it was due to the Unofficial Marshmallow Rom, I could see Wi-Fi to be cause of this drain. Hence I tried different Roms (Cyanogen Mod, PA, DarkObas, Sultan ROM, and stock Cyanogen OS ( Past 3 versions, including latest one). but the battery drain didn't stop.
So I decided to flash PA rom again, installed OpenGapps PICO (Only Google play service nothing else). I installed CPU spy and left it over night in Airplane mode. When I checked in the morning (after 7 hours) battery drain was of 25 %. This was surprising as nothing was running on my phone and only the minimum apps were installed. At this time, CPU spy showed no abnormal wake locks and was in Deep Sleep for almost 93% of the total time. The stock battery usage showed only Mobile Stand by and usage of 50 mAh.
Can you please help me figure out what is causing the battery drain.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes I already tried that. The strange thing is Battery drain is observed in Airplane mode also, while minimum apps installed(Stock apps with PA rom and Opengapps Pico package). Do you have any other suggestions.
It's really hard to judge what could be your issue, you can try different methods to find out who is the actual culprit.May be an app eating your battery or device might have nasty wakelocks,alarms etc or the battery itself would be damaged etc.
Anyways,Turn off ambient display, install BetterBatteryStats then run a full cycle and analyze entire stats of your battery, you'll get know the issue or at least a clue. If you couldn't find out the issue after BetterBatteryStats test then clean flash the a ROM(Recommends CandySix or Darkobas ) w/o GApp and give it a try
Firmware
Try a different firmware version. Here's a link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/firmware-modem-oneplus-one-lollipop-t3300907
Sounds like your battery cannot hold its charge anymore.
How old is your OPO? May be your battery life is about to over.
And this battery drain suddenly started or gradually increased?
Try diagnosing by changing the Location settings to device only. It's some weird bug with COS and CM that's making it to the latest builds of 6.0.1 . I saw that older builds in May don't have this problem.

You really should have taken my advice earlier and diagnose before making any decisions. If your battery truly was dying, then apps like 3C and Geekbench's battery test would've picked this up as they've linear-regression curve data from aggregate sources that you could've compared to. In your OP, you stated that you saw WiFi as a culprit, but did you also know that Google Play Services (depending on version) can do location requests up to 78 times within the hour on stock apps alone? I used to have this similar battery issue, but that was related to location-requests from Google Play Services that somehow propagated to other sources based on CM13's July commit, meaning that kernels also based on this could've been affected as well. What I eventually settled for, in the meantime, is using SultanXDA's 08082016 build and so far everything looks good on Wifi regarding what I expect for typical battery performance. If I learn something, I'll come back to report on it.

You might wanna try that. Possibly MM eating through. I still use Lollipop too. I find no need for MM yet. Also MM feels anti-dev to me for some reason :/ Needs all workarounds for things that were previously much easy to do. Oh well. Try Lollipop and see if it helps? It'd have been my first step for troubleshooting before buying a new battery

Yesterday, I left my phone in Recovery mode (TWRP 3.0.2.0). In less then 5 hours, I observed battery drain of 20%. Same amount of drain is observed when running MM rom. I don't think changing to Lollipop will help. To me it looks like some hardware issue, can any hardware beside battery cause such issue?
So, I have been using the Moto G4 Plus ( Indian Variant -XT1643 ) for a quite few months. Then 1-2 months ago, I rooted it, first with superuser and then replaced it with Magisk. I am using ElementalX kernel. But then after some days , the battery started acting weirdly. It drains very quickly. Also if I charge the phone fully and then reboot in bootloader , it drops to 15-16 . Sometimes the phone switches off at 10% battery. Even in idle, the battery drains very fast. When charged to 100%, the battery page of settings shows something like 45-55 mins left and that too varies. Currently on 56% it's showing 51 mins left. It's just 1 hour ago when I charged my phone to 100%. Is it time to replace the battery or is it a software issue as it drops to 15% in bootloader even if fully charged. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem but only with magisk, wih SuperSU everything is ok ?
Alright, I will try with SuperSu and update you. Thanks for the help.
Its software issue, may be ex kernel, magisk, supersu or any other app is draining it. Use better battery stats or similar like it and see who is sucking your battery juice.
And as you have already rooted your phone then try any custom rom as they dont have its problem (some may have also). And if wanna stick to stock rom then reset your phone and root it and then use for a while you will get the difference from before and now.

Ok. Its good to know that it's a software issue. I already tried factory reset but it didn't help. Strangely, the battery is fine now. I drained it completely and charged to 100%. Maybe that might have reset the battery stats or something. Anyways , if the problem still persists I will try custom ROM. Thanks a lot.

Hmmm, I never had battery drain issues while using ElementalX kernel rooted with Magisk (14.0).
At least not while using Motorola stock Nougat with the above.
Maybe your battery just lost its calibration as you assumed.
