Hi friends
i find out that my HD2 use 3% battery in 1Hr in standby mode (not using phone) (in GSM mode)
PLZ test ur battery usage (example leave ur phone for 2Hr and see the usage) and say result in this topic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i found somethings !! see Post 23.

Hmm, Why?
Hi Wizard,
What are you hoping to achieve here?
Battery usage is a complicated scenario. Even in sleep mode your device is doing things in the background e.g listening for SMS & Emails, attentive to Exchange Server requests, dealing with items in the notification queue, etc etc.
Your initial conditioning of your battery also has a part to play in its performance as has the age of it. Also data connections also play into this scenario. In addition if you are in a low signal area your phone will spend more energy hunting for e.g. data connections than if you were, say, slap bang next to a transmitter.
People telling you that in 1 hour they saw x% drain or Y% drain tells you nothing unless you know why that is.
Do you want to rethink this and come back with a more focused thread.
Hope this helps.
WB
PS: You can kill off data connectivity by using a utility called Modaco No Data. Might help you if you think your battery problems are bad (do a search).
PPs: There's a stack of threads already on here about battery usage. You might want to link into those rather than kickoff yet another thread on this?

what an angry !
sorry man
Btw its vice versa here. My battery drops about 1% in 3h (or 4% in 12h exactly). If u have bad coverage than its annoying but normal that it drops that fast in standby.
Remember that the battery meter is not designed and is not accurate enouch to measure 1 and 2% of battery use.
If they where, then ALL batteries need to have the exact same discharge cycle. This is not possible.
So 3% one hour, and 1% next hour could just as well be a result from the battery meter calibration.
The battery meter have only two references. Full and empty. All values in between are guestimates

Don't take this too hard buddy
He's right about there being other threads focused on these issues and it's always best to first take a look and see if one exists before starting one. I say this coz I see this is one your first posts and you're probably not familiar with the rules.
As for battery life, yes as WB said there can be too many reasons why your battery drains this much. The most important of which are background data connections, updates, etc. So try using the "No Data" program and see if you get any improvement

all u say, was off (no update, no conection and ...)
when i use the phone battery usage is reasonable and acceptable. but in standby mode, this usage that i have, is much
Wizard,
I guess English is not your first language otherwise you would have recognised I was not putting you down. I was doing my best to be helpful.
I still think your starting point should be to install the application Modaco No Data, run it before you go to bed and see what happens.
There are just so many variable in battery usage, which is what I was trying to tell you.

yes, english is not my first language (it is my 3rd language)
i'll test it
11% on 3g with data connection on durring 9 hours
4% on edge with data connection off durring same 9 hours
Even though this is at some point so irelevant because battery usage is determined by so many other factors, wacky has a strong point here

i do a hard reset, i dont instal any thing, on EDGE, no gprs conection, and ... >> i have 18-19% usage in 6Hr. it's sooooooo much!!
i had same problem with HTC Diamond.
I also, when having no data connections on, regardless of GSM/3G, have a usage of 3% during ~8h (when I sleep).
i install "battery log" and monitor battery usage.
when phone is in use, show 160~200 ma. and when phone is standby, 6~12 ma.
i think its natural and good and acceptable. but why in practice, use so much battery ? ur usage is 3% in 8Hr but my usage is 3% in 1Hr !!!!!!
my phone use battery in other place except windows ?! lol my phone has seepage !
Wizard,
If you are absolutely sure you have all data connections switched off via the Modaco utility AND all Wifi, Bluetooth and Beam connections killed off ( for good measure you could also switch your radio off, ie the telephone, not the FM radio) and you still think battery usage is on the high side then there are a number of things you should consider:
1) You have a battery that was not conditioned properly and therefore is not discharging correctly
2) You have a dodgy battery which you need to change
3) You have a faulty device
4) You have both a faulty device and a dodgy battery.
For no's 3 & 4 I would suggest you send the device back under warranty or ask for an exchange. You know what to do with 1 & 2.

TnX my friend
now i have changed simcard and insert another simcard from another operator . (10 min ago)
maybe
you have the rare case of phone sleep walking
(sorry for my bad english)
I also have this problem. In plane mode (gsm off), with all data connection off, my battery have a usage of 11% during ~8h (when I sleep).
It's french SFR rom.
Mine's set to UMTS (3g) without having data connections/wifi/bluetooth turned on - it loses 2-3% each 4-5 hours (standby only).

which rom U use ?? (my rom is 1.43) (and i'm waiting for 1.61 official rom ) (without goldcard!)
Hi all!
Currently my battery drains about 3% per hour in sleep mode, I don't know if it is normal or not, but the point is that I don't want it to worse rapidly.
For this reason I am asking you, how often you charge battery, if you wait it is fully discharged or not, etc...
In effect it is because I asked it to my professor about this and he answered that different than the old Ni-Cd battery packs requiring the deepest charge-discharge cycle possible, these new generation Li batteries on contrary need to be charged as much as you can and have a durability inverse proportional to deepness of charging process; this means it is better to charge it every time it is possible without to let it discharging.
Now, share your opinions about that...
He's right! Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries are most efficient when charged frequently, with a deep discharge/recharge about once every 3 months to reset the battery condition monitors built into the batteries.
They are best left on a USB charge when near a PC, but of course a long day out with these new devices often means they are pretty run down at the end of the day.
In reality, the battery life, even when frequently discharged will probably outlive the lifespan of the device but I've had a few older ones that have needed a new battery after 3 or 4 years.
3% use per hour in sleep mode isn't bad considering it is maintaining a phone signal all the time- does it regularly poll for emails etc?
Thanks for your reply!
About drain issue I can say I use WMLonglife that should disconnect idle connections after a prefixed time and it seems to work as what I can see when screen is on. I can not confirm its regularity on screen off mode, but I presume so, given its proper behaviour in other mode.
I can add that I have a "flat" connection and every connection is preferrably (in order) Hsdpa, 3g, gprs.
My Leo is equipped with:
1.43 T-Mobile UK ROM, 1.24.xxx radio
Don't know if it is important.
I've seen this probably
3% per hour is bad because it means the batteries full lifetime without turning it on would last close to 1¼ days only. You either are on the limits of cell coverage or more likely your device is going to screenoff instead of sleep. Think what you have tweaked and investigate power states. Also, there might be an app running that requires some functions that are available only during power "wasting" power states and keeps the device in screenoff power state.
Thanks for your contribution... but how can I investigate on its real power state, how can I assure if it is really in sleep mode or has only shut down screen?
Same here. Battery lasts less than a day without much usage. I switched off 3G completely now and am testing how long it lasts now.
There is a HTC location option (in the configuration tab of Sense) which can be switched off. Perhaps it is this thing which eats power? What's it for anyway?
The location option is for determining your current location for services like actual weather conditions. It determines your location by using the GSM base stations and signal strenght.
You could disable this, but above mentioned services will not update automatically anymore.
Might indeed want to check any programs that could have auto-update/sync with internet on. My battery typically drains 7-10% per night with half-hourly sync (weather, twitter, mail, etc) and all other options like location services on. I'm on Vodafone branded 1.43 NLD stock rom.

The best way is to download Battlog and check from logs what is happening. It tells you the states and everything. The best thing is if the logging stops during standby. This means it IS sleeping
Hello,
When I got my SGS it only ate 2-3% of the battery during the night. Since then I've tried many different firmwares, currently on the latest JM6, and all of them have had a very annoying problem. It eats 8-10% of the battery during night. I haven't changed anything, wifi is "always on" to avoid it eating battery using 3G. Ofcourse I've tried turning it off, too. The funny thing is that using Spare Parts it seems like it's the "suspend" process using a lot of CPU, which I believe it definately shouldn't. Some times after flashing it seems okay and can sleep properly, but then it goes haywire again - without having installed anything since it worked. Anyone else having "suspend" process using a lot of CPU?
To test, install Spare Parts. Plug in the charger, and remove it again to reset stats (Spare Parts uses some system app to show the CPU usage, and its default view is "since last unplugged", very practical). Go to bed. Sleep. Wake up. Start Spare Parts. Select "Battery History". Click "Other usage", select "CPU usage". Wait for half a minute or so (it needs to load data, if you click anything now you won't get CPU time used). Find the "suspend" process. Check how much CPU it has used.
I might add, that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with wake locks, it's something strange in the system itself.
try next time with all unecessary items off
like WiFi, GPS, BT anything that you don't use when you go to sleep

Thanks, but I've noticed something strange - still checking, but it seems as if I haven't got my SD card inserted, it looks okay...
I use JM5, Wifi Always on, 3G Always on, Auto sync off when unnecessary.
I was working at the polling booths on Election day here in AU, that's from 7:30AM till 11:30PM, I didn't really need to use my phone for anything, but when I got out 16 hours later I noticed that I had only lost about 3-4% battery.
It's pretty good. D:
For the record:
Bluetooth - This only needs to be turned off if there are devices that auto-pair with the phone, such as a bluetooth headset, in which case you probably want it on anyway?
GPS - This does not need to be turned off as it only uses battery when a service is actively requesting a gps fix. For example if you have Maps open it will drain more battery, but it won't on standby unless you are using Location tracking software or otherwise location aware software.
WiFi - Truth to be told, WiFi when connected uses less power than a 3G connection on standby. WiFi does have the potential to use a lot more power than 3G because of the higher speed potential over a local wireless network. In most cases it's pretty safe to have WiFi always on, however it should be noted that when WiFi is NOT connected it will constantly scan for access points to connect to, this process uses power ON TOP of 3G, so it would be wasteful to leave this on unnecessarily unless you were using it for Google Location services via WiFi access points.
3G Data - The only reason this 'uses power' is because it's a always-on connection, you can partially remedy this by giving WiFi always-on priority saving both mobile data quota and some power. 2G uses a lot less power than 3G simply because it uses the GSM chip in the phone, not it's own higher power chip. So switch to 2G if u don't need high speed data, but want always on Push notifications and such. (EDGE is fairly fast, but I only get GPRS and 3G on my carrier. )
Brightness - This phone has a super bright screen, use something in the lower settings, auto brightness at day if you want.

I've got bluetooth off all the time, it's currently running a very new install of JM6, and I haven't installed anything that runs when I don't want it to run. 3G isn't used, as wifi is always on (advanced wifi settings).
It's around 7 hours since I pulled the plug, after having restarted phone after removing SD card, and the suspend process isn't even on the list anymore... I find this quite interesting - it might just be a coincidence, but right now it looks like there is some kind of problem with suspend process when SD card is in... Do you have an "external" SD card in your phone?
ive just flashed JM1 and hate how much power its using... no idea what the problem is, but ive just come off the official JM1 from Kies, and had a big problem so had to flash the first thing i could find. can this really be down to firmware?
i mean im really noticing a difference on standby, before id loose like 3-4% in a whole day of not using it, now it drops 10% in like a few hours...

i do use 16GB class 6 external SD from Transcent
MoWa22,
I had this happen to me last night and (am stock DXJG04) so very interesting. Trying to remember what my battery drain was last night but I think it was around 10-15% and previously I would get 1% if I turned everything off except being able to receive calls.
I always thought these issues were related to wake locks or that the phone just cannot sleep. Something to try is to reboot the phone and check the battery power before going to sleep and see the battery drain over the night. If minimal battery drain, then maybe it is a rogue app which you may have opened/used during the day. If same 8-10% drain, then am guessing some service or inbuilt process is causing issues.
Half the battle is trying to track the CPU hog or rogue app.
Dang. Lost almost 10% again tonight - but actually the "suspend" process almost didn't use any CPU, SD card still not in phone. Using the built-in battery usage thing, it has cell standby on top, phone idle right below. This is really starting to bother me...
Last night while I turned off APN, Wifi, GPS, etc, I left my phone on as 3G only. I've heard the switch between 3G to 2G causes extra battery drain so I had left the phone on as 3G only. I know 2G is lot less of a battery strain but wonder if it affects cell phone standby. Going to leave my phone on 2G tonight.
I have 3G and sync on. I have weather and feed widgets updated every hour. Plus some other widgets and Google Latitude which I know is using cpu time. My drain is about 1 to 1.2% drain per hour of standby. Firmware DJG4.
I think you dont need to bother too much if battery drains 1-2% per hour on standby (this gives you at least 2-4 days if you use the phone very little). Any more than this means you may have some rouge apps/widgets.
The more critical is the usage time (i.e. with screen on). This is usually like 15-20% drop per hour of use.
Been testing a bit again - this night I had a total of approx. 1% battery used in 9 hours. Still without SD card. I inserted the SD card one hour ago, and I've lost 5-6% already - and suspend process is on top of the list again... Definately something weird going on when SD card is inserted! Please, can anyone test with/without SD card and check for differences?
I spotted this thread and read with interest as last night I noticed my power dropped "unreasonably". I've not started any troubleshooting yet but I am curious about the SD card thing.
Have you tried having the SD card in, but unmounted? Does it still suck powere when unmounted?
Obviously unmounting it is a simpler and quicker process than removing the cover and then physically removing the card.
Mark.
Upgraded to the new Froyo today, seems to be without suspend problems even with SD card. Gotta check how much battery it'll eat during the night.

How did you manage that? Everything off? auto-sync off? Wifi? 3g? 2g?
I'm on jm5 with Samset 1.9f and for all the time ive had this phone it has only used 2% battery overnight. Exceptional cases were when i used Fancy Widget, it ate up all my battery overnight leaving me with nothing for the next day. Have stopped using it ever since.
Nowadays, my battery drains heavily when screen is on(when im using the phone). Drains roughly about 1% for every 2 mins im using it, but standby time is still great at 2% overnight...

Thanks for sharing info. in battery section, Can you also confirm what Region/variants/Batch/ROM version affected from this bug?
How widespread is this problem ?
Few Days ago cell standby : 80%
Now : ~44% after not using airplane mode in the night. Very sad about this issue because my battery life on my old Note 2 was really good

Turn off your gps and other background battery draining apps that maybe keeps your screen awake.
Your suppose to lose barely 1% during night sleep.

I m living in france, i have plk-l01 runing c432b100 build version.
Many users have the same issue...
It make me loose 25% per day, just for cell standby.
Even with aiplane mod active and cell broadcast disabled.
My screen consume less than cell standby :/

I am waiting for delivery but my model will be as for UK as everyone have across EU, This is very serious issue, I request all user to Email to Huawei/honor to they can release patch or update regarding that ASAP ? Can you tell me how much % battery drain overnight ? for example since when you turn off screen before you go to sleep to wakeup in the morning with or without dual sim and all bt, wifi & Mobile data off? Have try factory reset and see better result in drain ? Can you also measure Temperature when you wake up phone and when normal usage with Wifi and Mobile data using app. called CPUTEMP please
I loose between 5 and 10% per night, with airplane mode and w/o BT and wifi.
the phone stay cold.
I didn't wipe, but some users already tried and it don't fix.
I asked to honor to patch it, they know how to fix it.
I advise to get replacement, specifically ask them to give you different batch is possible, btw my 2013 LG G2 drain only 1-2% battery overnight on without airplane mode , try install CPU SPY and tell me your deep sleep % please

That doesn't mean there is a problem. It was reported in another review that cell standby reports high usage but it has no affect on battery life and they loose only 2% overnight. You could be losing high amount of battery overnight for other reasons, such as background apps.
i did many test, it's cell standby which drain my battery.

I don't thing that this problem should exist in Honor 7 as such not mention in Two dated review website like gsmarena.com or notbookcheck.net, if such a problem exist they must have mentioned in it, in the description of search result which say Description:
"When mobile data (2G or 3G) is switched on, all the internet apps continue to consume battery and keep the mobile data active unless they are force stopped. On kitkat, this didn't happen because apps stopped using mobile data whenever their transaction was over. But here in lollipop, they don't seem to stop ever and cause a huge battery drain.
Please look into this.. It's still present in 5.1 (aosp and all custom roms)."
The above statement means it confused your battery when you leave turned on Mobile Data or Wifi, There are so many app which terminate your application when you turn off the screen or even hibernate or stop until you use next time to stop battery drain even with Wifi and Mobile data off, I don't think any apps consuming battery or keeps CPU awake with Wifi or Mobile data off
Try installing "CLEAN MASTER" which will tell you any power and CPU hungry apps which running or restarting in background and also terminate or Hibernate apps when not in use with many more functions without ROOT
Can you also publish screenshot or battery usage and screen on time please
see here, many screenshot from different user :

Huawei Honor 7 - Battery Performance (Not Bad)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtAU05Eyxa8a
What runs under "Phone Idle" on the V20. It's been the largest battery consumer for the last week of use that I've noticed. My wife's V20 is the same and I had my brother check his and his wife's V20.
I'm only asking because I'm not see great battery life like other have been reporting. I don't have live wallpaper, have only two widgets on the home screen. GPS is set to battery save, screen is set to auto but that doesn't even come close to chewing up the battery.
Sadly I feel like I'm still using my old 2.5 year G3 where it'll need a charge mid way through the day.

Really??
Pretty sad that needs to be done on a week old phone with minimal apps. I'm not even a heavy user.
I feel like I'm back on my old DroidX days where everything was a factory reset but never helped...

I agree with you. Although my phone is just beyond a week old and does have all my apps installed, a factory reset can't be the solution here. This is the typical "I don't know how to fix this" answer always given by manufacturers and carriers.

In the roughly 3 weeks I've had my V20 I've only seen this once where phone idle was higher than Screen. I started looking thru all running apps for 'keep awake' time being high and noticed Android OS had keep awake of over 2 hours when it's normally less than an hour after a full day use. I power cycled the phone and it stopped.
The weird thing was Android OS didn't show high battery usage even though something was triggering keep awake. Looks like the keep awake was causing phone idle to be high.
I'd look at everything in your battery usage to see if you have any high keep awake times.

Sorry did not mean to be short in my response. When you set up your phone did you restore it from another phone using the nfc bump thing? I did the same and my phone battery was the same way. Wouldn't last even half a day. After i factory reset and set everything up manually i get 18+ hrs with 7 hrs screen on time sometimes.
If this situation doesn't apply to you then maybe a reset won't help. But you have to understand your situation isn't normal.
Make sure Google now features are all turned off and not running in the background.

I'll have to go through the apps one by one like I did previously on my G3 and see. Now within the battery stats there is only a handful of apps like hangout, play music, chrome and camera. The rest is OS related so that's why I was curious what ran under Phone Idle.

No and sadly I was looking for that feature a week ago but couldn't find it so I had to individually install most of my apps I had on my previous phone...made for a long night along with the additional emails and configuration or icons and such.
I'll keep digging away at the phone...I really want to like this phone ?
Has there been a definitive resolution to "phone idle" battery drain? I just got a V20 2 weeks ago on sale for $360 and its a fantastic upgrade over the One+1 I've been rockin all these years, but I'm also suffering from mediocre life due to whatever phone idle is. Some forums (for other phones) say phone idle is related to your wireless signal. I'm still with the same carrier and frequenting the same locations and had no such battery drain with that old One+.
i finally discovered whats was goin on with me..
i had the same issue..
phone idle was topping my battery usage list
it turns google plays have this "locationmanager service " and locationwhatever" that kills your battery over wifi even with location button off
Go to locations/ 3 dots in top right corner/ turn off WiFi scan. See if that helps.
My phone has been suffering from poor battery life for quite some time now, here are the screenshots, Android OS has been this high on almost all battery cycles.
I disabled wifi scanning as suggested above and will watch the performance, does the community have any other inputs to fix this? View attachment 4212978View attachment 4212979

Phone idle is always the biggest battery draw on my phone too. I have minimal apps too. No Facebook or similar types of apps. I'm on a Verizon V20 stock with the latest security update. Is this normal V20 behavior to have phone idle consume more battery than everything else?
how about doze mode , isnt that meant to help with this sort of problem ? ( my phone is currently on a ship )
Any update. İ have the same problem

So what did you do?
Would also be grateful if anyone shared a solution.
I specifically have a SIM-unlocked Sprint model (LS997) which am using in Europe with another carrier.
Using it in LTE preferred mode drains about 10-15% overnight.
Using it in WCDMA preferred mode drains up to 5% per night (yes, wifi and cellular data OFF and many apps greenified) . So I'm really interested in how this can be fixed and achieve 0% battery drain across several hours.
Or maybe it's SIM-unlocked Sprint ROM related?? I can't root my phone since it has the Feb 2017 patch and is a ZV6.
I suspect rooting it and using another ROM would solve this + the annoying issue of not being able to send images via FB Messenger and Viber while on cellular data (I imagine the Sprint guys placed some kind of restriction to deny media transfer for these apps when using cellular data).
I have noticed this too.. wondered why "phone idle" takes most battery... any suggestions would be great!
I am also curious about the solution. Phone Idle is at top. Even without SIM card. 30% drains during a night (everything is disabled, but no airplane mode is on). I tried factory reset, reinstall older ROM, replace battery, use no app but still sucks.
hi
my v20 phone battery draining was about 1% per hour before (about 7% totally ) and recently increased to 2% during sleeping time overnight. (draining 15% overnight in sleeping state)
it seems that during day either performance off battery is decreased.(about 5h with wifi and screen on usage)
Fast charging while second screen is On , is slower than when it is off therefore when second screen is Off , fast charging goes better . exactly , first 30 mins fast charging makes about 40% battery charge(instead of 50%) and after 60 min leads to 85% and full charging taking place after about 100 min instead of 80 mins.
another important thing is that sometimes shades have been seen on the LCD that many users have complained about it.
phone information is :
Android security patch level: September 1, 2017
BASEBAND : MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00045-M8996FAAAANAZM-1
KERNEL : 3.18.31
BUILD NUMBER : NRD90M
SOFTWARE VERSION : V10g-AME-XX
MODEL NUMBER : LG-H990ds
my actions are as follows :
phone is factory reseted. No third party apps is installed. [especially social media apps.]
battery calibration steps for not rooted phones is taken place.(turning off the phone and charging several times repeatedly).
testing battery drain in safe mode in done and didn't change results
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
turn off WiFi being On during screen is Off.
turn off auto sync, NFC, GPS etc.
not using auto brightness.
not using comfort view .
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
second screen is off during test overnight. (either with second screen is ON with faced down to lower brightness in other day test )
phone is in Air Plane Mode and all data services is off.
system apps like Google services and Play and Assistance is limited by permissions.
following are some advanced battery drain overnight figures of my phone for more analyzing.
any help with this issue is appreciated.
