Sigh. My Evo's Battery Life is Rediculous (not typical)

Fully charged my phone night before last and went to work in the morning (9am). I didn't touch it all day, didn't even turn it on. On my drive home at 5pm it was dead, off.
I plugged it in with the phone off when I got home and saw that it was fully charged a few hours later around 10pm and I booted it up and left it alone. This morning it was dead, off.
Looking at the apps that take up my battery doesn't work because it doesn't retain information what happened to the phone prior to the last reboot. Not sure what to do. My awake time matches my standby time exactly. It's obviously a 100% awake time problem but what's triggering this?
I'm on Fresh .3 with absolutely no other mods. I don't think I have any apps that ping outside servers. So what the ****!?
EDIT:
lulz, I just realized I haven't been even able to use the phone in 3 days due to this issue

Something is eating your battery obviously.
Restore to stock and see if you have the same issues.

That's a PITA. This is a clean fresh .3 rom install with only logmein, dropbox and couple non-online games installed. Why is this phone such ****ing fail right now.

Have you removed the Favorites widget? Doing that stopped all battery drain problems for me. Just delete the widget.

First thing to check is if you have a sufficient cellular signal. If you are getting a weak signal it will cause poor battery life. If cell signal strength is not your problem then it is definitely something you have installed on it eating away at your battery. That said check/do the following:
1) Check how frequently you have your accounts syncing
2) Before the phone dies look in your battery use to see what's eating your battery
3) Install a task manager/killer (I use Advanced Task Killer)
4) You don't have to do this one but it does help. I use a program called Startup Auditor to disable startup on apps I don't need to run when the phone first boots (you'd be surprised how many are in there).

delete it completely or remove it from one of the home panels?

the "time without signal" workarounds seem to prove the most effective for me. in addition, reduce background usage and automatic update frequencies as best as you can.
according to this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709768] (and link within), HTC has acknowledged some issues and is preparing to deploy a few fixes.

You are running someone else's ROM, there could be a problem with the radio, or a problem with the way it was loaded.
If you are in an area where you don't get signal, you are going to drain the battery, and FAST.
Do you have 4g on but not in a 4g area?

I am...
fully rooted and have fresh .3 as well. I am getting over 30hrs with moderate use and the last hour of that I had everything on to purposely run it down to dead. (was doing a toastch recommeded battery meter calibration).
Took my phone off the charger last night at 7:30 pm. It's 2:23pm and I have 31% left. I have Wifi, BT, and Background apps with auto sync turned on.
I would say you might be experiencing the Motorola cell tower problem. HTC has confirmed that the EVO is not playing well with cell towers that have motorola transmitters. It is causing the phone to use more energy to dial in the tower.
To be sure...
1. Set all apps and widgets to manual update or update once a day.
2. Get rid of the people app or widget from any home screen.
3. Go into Gtalk and uncheck auto sign in. Then sign out when you exit the program.
4. charge the phone until the green light comes on. Don't use a battery meter. The second the green light comes on, go into recovery and wipe the battery stats. Reboot the phone and run it until the battery dies and will not longer power the phone. This does nothing for the battery but does recalibrate the internal battery meter.
5. For maximum life...turn off: background data, WiFi, BT, and Mobile networks when not using. keep screen at 1/2 brightness.
If I do the above and manually update mail, weather, social apps, etc... and only turn radios on when I need them, I can get 40 hrs. out of my EVO and this is under moderate to high moderate use.
One other thing....plug your phone in for 10 minutes. Then unplug it and go into immediate stand by for like 30 minutes. Go to settings>about phone>battery>battery use>cell standby. Time without signal should be very low....anything over 10-15% and I'd suspect that if you did everything in 1-5, you have a towers issue robbing your battery.

I was having awake time issues with Fresh .3, so I switched to DamageControl, and everything has been great. Unplugged this morning at 7, and I still have 75% battery remaining. Better battery life than the Hero or BlackBerry Tour!

I seem to be having the same problem as you and it is quite frustrating. I get a steady 10% battery drain every hour even when its idle. I tried juice defender and setcpu and it is still the same. I turned off all my sync accounts and nothing. I also have systempanel and it doesn't seem like theres a rogue app eating my batteries.I'm going to truth to stock tonight to see if something is wrong with my phone. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your phone?

AVA9 i get 20 hours a charge
but YES something is eating your battery install system pan have and let it run a bit and check the info id bet its
1 your evo spend a lot of tWOS
2 you have a rogue app eating your battery

Way to bump an ancient thread.

DOH dear god i did not look at that lol

I do apologize for bumping such an old thread, but I feel like this thread has already asked much of what I also wanted to ask but have not reached a conclusion. Therefore I would like to try and solve the problem or provide as much info as I can to solve the problem.
I indeed have installed systempanel and here are the screenshots for the day.

(sorry my account is not allowed to post links)
As you can see besides the internet, there is nothing else thats taking up the battery. Also I took this pic after I put the phone on the charger for a bit, it was at ~ 13% before. The battery usage information says a majority of the battery was used by #1 android system and #2 cell standby, it was neck and neck almost, with #3 being phone idle. My weather app polls every 3 hours, my facebook syncs every 30 mins, my htc sense facebook syncs once a day, and I have not configured any other emails except for two gmail acconts, which received probably 3 emails throughout the whole day.
I just used setcpu today, it made absolutely no difference. Same results as yesterday when I did not have setcpu. Thanks in advance for the help!

dude you need to try my setup: superevo and setcpu
i got 7 days of battery using the evo as a simple phone.

Why would anyone use an EVO as a simple phone.
I am beginning to think peoples opinions on moderate use vary tooooo much. The EVO is similar to an unplugged laptop. The more you make the cpu work the faster your battery is going to drain.
It seems some people just dont get that.

Terrible Battery on S7 Edge?

So I switched over from my OP3 to S7 Edge as it was supposed to be an overall upgrade. I used to get through a day of work (7:30am - 5pm) and still have ~40% battery. With the S7E I have to top the phone up before leaving work and keep it on battery saver. I changed the firmware from EE branded to unbranded and I am un rooted.

I was absolutely loving the battery life of my s7 edge until a couple of days ago when it started discharging at a ridiculous rate. I tried getting rid of a bunch of apps that I wasn't using but that had little effect.
Yesterday, I wiped the cache in the stock recovery (I'm also unrooted) and I'm back in business! I doubt I'll ever know what was going on (Android system was using 32%) but wiping cache is an easy fix.
My next step would have been a factory reset which I was planning on doing after Noughet lands officially. I'm happy to put that off as it's a bit more of a PIA for me setting up my watch and other peripherals..

I've wiped the cache in stock recovery and unfortunately it didn't help. As with you, a factory reset would be too much hassle at the moment, so I'm trying to avoid that route. It really is a nightmare to try and solve!

Is this battery life normal? I'm always on 4G with minimal gaming. Please tell. Thanks.

2% drop, I don't use AOD, I have the sd820 btw

If you guys dont care about warranty and stuff. I would recommend going to apc8 firmware of apf2(has some security issues like being outdated and such but if those dont matter to you then apc8 or apf2 is the way to go!). Im on apf2 rooted with prometheus kernel v.1.4 and here are my stats. Light usage like netflix or browsing but the standby is great!

I have 5h 30min screen time

I'll report my screen shots later tonight to see if it's improved. It was at 100% two hours ago and now it's at 80%, so a loss of 10% an hour still seems quite high? I've just checked and Android system is still consuming 23% compared to 9% for the screen. It's frustrating how some people are effected by this and not others.

So my battery has almost died and here are my stats. Any other tips to fix this?

What's connected to your phone during the day and what kind of apps do you use the most? Maybe we can find some more things to disable/find more battery friendly alternatives.

I recently started using a pebble but the problem has persisted since before then. Today I've sent about 10 whatsapp messages and sent about 3 snapchat. I've used the recent apps and used "closed apps" to shut them all. It's as if my phone won't go into doze.

Idle Battery Drain

I've been getting a lot of idle battery drain after only a couple of weeks and it's very disappointing to see. I used GSAM Battery Monitor (after granting the additional permissions via adb) and it looks like my three biggest issues are Phone Services, the OS itself, and Google Play Services. I have attached screenshots below of the information from GSAM.
Anyone experiencing something similar or know of any way to fix this?

looks like it is your app usage not your screen that is using most of your battery. Try closing/uninstalling some apps.

If you look at the first post, the "apps" causing the majority of battery drain is the Kernel and Call Services. That's my problem, but I don't know how to fix this.

My battery is good. Can you go to settings, battery & power saving and take a screenshot of the bottom of the Battery usage screen. It shows what apps are using what, just like the app that you are using but stock android for statistics. Phone idle is using the most for me with 4% followed by Screen with 2%. I have had the phone on battery for 5 hours and 15 minutes from a full charge and still have 90% battery left. I usually end the day with about 60% or 70% battery life remaining.
Also are you using wifi calling? Do you need it? Turning it off might help your battery.
EDIT: also even if call services takes up 16% and you don't have any apps running then you are only using 16% of your battery. I you have 32 apps open using 1% each you are using 32%. From the screenshots it looks like you are using a lot of apps which means a lot of battery drain.

"My battery is good." Doesn't really help me man, mine was good for the first couple weeks I had the phone, but my usage habits haven't changed.
Phone Idle is at 32%, Call Services is at 12%, Screen at 10%, Snapchat at 8%. I use WiFi calling as there is almost no signal at my apartment. When I leave however I turn it off.

Ok, Yeah I was just using my battery as a comparison. Looks like phone idle is eating up a lot of battery and It is probably because you have low signal or because of the wifi calling. Not sure which as I don't use wifi calling. You might want to look at getting a Sprint Magic Box. https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/serv...16=magic box |All&question_box=magic box |All
Only problem is that it isn't out yet so you would have to preorder it. The good news is that it looks like it is going to be free.

Did you figure out any solution to this? I'm having similar performance on my Sprint G6 and not sure how to fix it... All these people reporting 5-6 hours of SOT have me really jealous.

What do you mean, "it helps with the idle battery?" What exactly are you referring to that helps?

I'm having the exact same issue with my sprint g6. Battery was fine until recently. Nothing has changed, no new apps or anything. Adb reports call services draining the most, just like your screenshots. Anyone ever figure out the culprit for this issue?

I haven't figured it out yet, but I really hope someone does. I read somewhere that resetting the phone fixes the issue even in the long term but I don't really want to back up all my data and apps and everything to try it.

Try using iRoot, maybe it can rewrite how your phone uses different apps to save battery.

Anyone have any luck solving this? I'm having the exact same problem with the same phone - Sprint LG G6 and "Call Services" is my primary battery drain.
I don't have particularly low signal - med/high for most of the day and I have wifi calling turned off. I've had this same problem across multiple phones (G5 and G6) as well as across factory resets on both phones. I used to get great battery life with my G5(~85% at the end of the day if I didn't use it much) and then this started happening about a year ago.
Wakelock detector is showing >1000 wakeup triggers from call services - the most by tenfold above everything else.
Seems like it might be related to Sprint/LG since Call Services has mostly LG related processes running on it, but unfortunately that doesn't help me get rid of the battery drain. Any ideas?

Trying to track down cause of recent battery drain issue.

Hello all,
So I know there's various discussions all over the web about the Galaxy s10 and battery issues on both Snapdragon and Exynos variants. It seems people are experiencing a wide margin of difference in avg battery life..
So here's my situation. My wife and I both have S10+'s through AT&T. We got them the first week they came out. I looked though the forums and performed several battery optimization tweaks on both phones and since then the battery life has been really impressive... No complaints really. Until this last week.
We both recieved the March security patch and fingerprint scanner fix about a week ago. My wife's phone seems unchanged by this. Everything working as expected. My phone however has been draining battery MUCH faster both in SOT and standby time. I'm losing 2-3x more battery % overnight. In the last 20 mins of just reading through threads on the XDA forum app, I've lost about 10% battery. I'm sitting in the dark with my screen brightness very low too. (down another 5% since I started typing this!)
My wife and I have very similar phone habits. Since both our phones are optimized identically, and we used most of the same apps a play the same games, I started looking through everything different I've done in my phone since this problem started. I installed Adhell3, which seems to be setup properly and working. Mike B. from Adhell's Discord assured me that Adhell shouldn't be draining my battery. I'm mostly using it just to remove a bunch of basic bloatware and block some ads.
The update seems to have worked fine otherwise. My FP scanner is much better now, but something is definitely wrong. I've tried wiping the partition cache afterwards. I've tracked down others experiencing issues after this particular update, but cant seem to find a way to fix this problem yet. I saw something about Deep Sleep problems after the update when someone uses a VOIP service like Skype or WhatsApp, but I dont use anything like that. I can't even find a good tool to use to see more information about my battery usage, as the built-in battery monitor lacks a good deal of information. CPUspy doesn't work on my version.
If anyone has any ideas of what could be the culprit, what else I could try, or what tools I could use to try and track down what exactly is causing this sudden increase in drain, I'd really appreciate it.

Which update do you have ASBA or ASCA? This is rather weird, Battery drain can also come from restoring from backups. I lose 2% every night and my phone is on airplane mode, not connected to anything except location. I do not have adhell, and last time I tested before the fingerprint update I had 10h SoT on wifi purely. When I got the new fingerprint update I checked if the phone went to deep sleep and it does, so I really do not know what might be your issue. I have an exynos variant btw. Also I charge my phone constantly from 80 I let it drop to 40 and charge it back, I do not use fast charging options. Since unplugging my phone now on LTE fully I have lost 1% in 30 min, I have my fitbit always connected, location on, max resolution, I have a semi black wallpaper and brightness around 40-50%.
I will see today how much SoT I can get from 80% part wifi, part LTE, I will update.

clear cache helped a lot of people

Update 1

Reset all phone settings to factory. Don't do full factory reset, just all the settings, fixed my post update battery drain issues

Update 2

Hrrm. It seems I don't have ASBA or ASCA, I have ASD3. The March update.

I'm really hoping I don't end up having to factory reset and manually install everything... Because I did do a restore from backup with AT&T Transfer, because it seemed really convenient and time saving. I had no idea that so many people have had issues with restoring from various back up services (AT&T, Samsung, Google etc.)
I did the same restore from backup on my wife's S10+ too and she's had no problems. Her battery life is phenomenal. My battery issues only started after this last update.

Well that seems rather strange to be honest, you can eliminate possibilities by just testing and see what works. Last possibility can be that factory resetting and installing all new, but then again, it could be that it solves your issues or not. You should be having rather horizontal lines to prove your phone is truly going into deep sleep in my opinion, but also you can check with CPU Spy

Sorry it will be this pic

Try to log too safe mode and check the battery drain
If stopped then it was from an application that have a problem
If not I think it might be a system app or something

So. I'm starting to think that some of my problem has to do with wakelocks. Unfortunately I have limited access to wakelocks statistics since my phone is unrooted. However. Last night I fully charged my phone right before bed and then took it off the charger to see how much it would lose overnight. It dropped a whopping 10% vs the 1-2% it used to.
I looked through some of the battery info and noticed several apps running in the background for very long periods of time since last night. Chrome(2hrs) , Discord(2hrs), Google Play Services(a whopping 13hrs 30mins running in background) and Google Play store (5hrs)
Somehow Discord was responsible for draining 7.6% battery in that time!
So, could this be a wakelock issue causing my phone to lose so much battery overnight? I know that's only half the problem, because I'm also experiencing higher drain than usual while using certain apps too. But I'm trying to figure out one thing at time.

Which update do you have ASBA or ASCA? This is rather weird, Battery drain can also come from restoring from backups. I lose 2% every night and my phone is on airplane mode, not connected to anything except location. I do not have adhell, and last time I tested before the fingerprint update I had 10h SoT on wifi purely. When I got the new fingerprint update I checked if the phone went to deep sleep and it does, so I really do not know what might be your issue. I have an exynos variant btw. Also I charge my phone constantly from 80 I let it drop to 40 and charge it back, I do not use fast charging options. Since unplugging my phone now on LTE fully I have lost 1% in 30 min, I have my fitbit always connected, location on, max resolution, I have a semi black wallpaper and brightness around 40-50%.
I will see today how much SoT I can get from 80% part wifi, part LTE, I will update.

You just need to tweak your settings more, put which apps do not run on the background or go to sleep, how many days you need to wait to put unused apps to sleep. Is all tweaking the settings.

Then I don't what you can do, either do a factory reset and so not restore anything from backups and see if that works. I usually set my phone that way, clean no restoration from any backup all apps are installed manually, and I do not even use adhell to disable most of Samsung crap apps and services.

battery drain FAST even with screen off

Hey there I have S10+ eu g975f with last firmware OFFICIAL. My battery is draining to fast even with the screen off. I tried to flash again the official firmware but the problem persists to exist.i don't even play games, watching movies or something similar. Just messenger and Instagram.

Last days of the battery usage. In 2 mins of using it or while screen is off is losing like 1-2 percent of ?. What can I do for it ?

Sorry for double posting

Anyone?

I can't see the pictures. But this started a few days ago? Do you have on wifi, bluetooth, location, nfc, etc...? What is your brigthness level? Did you try to reset the device?

Do you use VoLTE? Try to disable it. Facebook and messanger is consuming alot of battery.
And appears you have bad reception. That could explain the battery drain.

Bad reception or low signal drains battery because the phone is actively looking for better signal or closer cell tower if you have 1 bar or 2 bars i would turn off data or switch to wifi if you're home. Another thing also another member above said Facebook and Facebook Messenger are FAMOUS like i mean Arnold Schwarznegger famous for draining the battery in the background because they are constantly doing shady stuff when you're not looking syncing messages or listening to push notifications, also that Instagram looks suspicious as hell, i don't have one but it looks weird in my eyes that it drains so much in less than an hour.
If i was in your place i would uninstall Facebook and FB Messenger and Instagram then charge the phone to 100 before bed and when you wake up you should have about 96% left if it's like 90% or lower then yeah an app is running in the background syncing and won't let your phone go to to sleep and my bet is on those 3 apps Or just turn off Sync from the pull down menu and see what happens, let us know here what you find out good luck

How do I know that is not battery problem ?

Battery doesn't deteriorate that fast unless you let the battery drain all the way to 0 multiple times. Lithium ion batteries have a finite amount of charges to them, it is best to keep the battery in the range of 20% to 80%.
Download an app called AccuBattery i have the full version you can find out the status of your battery and what's going on with it

I know, I am charge it when it goes to 5% and leave it to 96% . Every day I must charge my phone 2 times.
Also I have the full version of this application on my smartphone, it's just shows the battery life while having this app in the background but it keeps drain because it consume battery.
I will download it again and see the battery .
Weird cuz after flashing the official firmware nothing changes....

What do you see in 2 days of using this app ?

I noticed about 2 months ago my battery life started to tank as well. I've changed nothing about my device and when I turn data off in strictly use Wi-Fi it drains even faster even with sync all turned off

It doesn't show much it's been 2 days but something is killing your battery. I purchased the s10+ Exynos version and haven't done anything to it yet no apps installed just the firmware upgrade to CTF1 June1 security patch and battery is fine here so it must be software related.
Try to find an app called BetterBatteryStats i'm sure you heard of it that app will show you in detail who or what is preventing your phone from going into sleep even system apps are acting up it will show so try that i'm pretty sure an system app is acting up.
In my old days from kitkat and lollipop era the Google play services was always the problem back then.
I forgot also another app Wakelock Detector i don't know if that app is still around that's what i used to find out what was killing my battery on my Note 3 lol

Yeah I would install those apps i mentioned to the guy above to try and trace the cause i'm pretty sure an app or a system app is using wakelock to prevent the phone from going into sleep or deep sleep
Apps that use GPS are common and wifi as well. Lately i've been reading that last firmware update messed up the phone so one step at a time we'll find out who the culprit is

First time I see this popup.
I thought don't needed to run any commands or to be rooted.

Check this out guys. Is it bad ?

Do I need to change my battery ?
