Somedays ago, i use CM12.1 10xx build and experience a battery problem, i though it was only me who had this problem.
But guess what, it's actaully from CM build problem.
And after the days, people says that they fix it which having a 6 hours of SOT and AMAZING things.
ANd right now i am suing 10192015 build which still suffering Battery Drain.
I mean, 44% for 1h and 15min.
I was like WTF?
So, guys, please, help me out, gimme ur review on CM12.1 that have the most stabil battery life.
Otherwise, i should go back to Cloudy ROM again which giving me 5h of SOT. :/
I use this phone for works, so of course battery life is damn important for me. :silly:
The only reason that i switch from Cloudy to CM is rotation got some bug. But that's another story.
anyway, dont forget to answer my question.
A clean flash of cm12.1 may resolve the battery issue.
I'm using Inazuma 2.8c and the battery life seems to be quite good, although I am not a heavy user.
A clean flash does not solve anything because i already did.
Anyway, i appreciate ur reply.
i have the same problem on note 4 with zero lemon10,000 battery. Let me know if you find a answer
Try going into privacy guard and setting location to ignored or always off (I did this to the built in apps as well).
Where is privacy guard?
Hello,
Please help , I 'm new in this forum .
My English is not good and therefore it is for me very laboriously to search the points all the posts .
I bought a new Yotaphone . 2
It is installed following firmware: the build number is : KTU84L.4.4.3 - S01-003 - VIT.0.3.50a
There is no automatic firmware update .
Yotaphone informed me that this is a Vodafone firmware and therefore there is no update .
I want to use the Yotaphone to 90 % of GPS navigation with the E - Ink display on my mountain bike .
Therefore is important for me, that is the ROM stable and has little battery drain .
What Firmware version can you recommend me .
I live in Germany and the menu language should be in German .
I have read that is to be flashing with the tool YotaPhoneFlasher .
Where there is a detailed guide , so that nothing 's wrong when flashing and the unit is then scrap .
(wrote with Google Translate)
Thanks
Dieter

Can you go into settings then tap about phone and tell me what android version you are running? Are you running android 4.4.3?
A lot of people have said that KitKat (android version 4.4.3) is better then other firmwares for battery life. So if your running 4.4.3 then stay there for now.
I haven't used KitKat on yotaphone (android version 4.4.3) but I can tell you don't update to lollipop (android version 5.0) if you need good battery life.
Use RU ROM they are updating very frequently.
Battery life on Marshmallow Beta seems quite good to me, so that's something to try

I just upgraded to RU 1.31. How much SOT do you get? And, whats the idle drain per hour I can expect?
Is it better or worser than 4.4.3?

Currently battery is at 60% and sot is at 2h30min, which is more than enough for me. Idle drain I don't know about.

2.5 hours with 60% Battery Left - That is very good.
I upgraded only today early morning with literally no extra applications installed except WhatsApp. In fact, with Titanium Backup, I uninstalled few Google and Yota Apps which I never use. Waiting to evaluate the battery life in few days.
Hi there,
EPD + GPS for sunlight-navigation sounds like a good idea with the yotaphone 2. Especially in direct sunlight.
I had great experiences with that phone regarding battery life using EPD only.
BUT you should keep in mind that yotaphone has a rather small battery (2500mAh) compared to similar phones on the market at the moment.
GPS navigation uses alot of power for GPS itself and CPU power for navigation. So a normal screen would only cause 30-40% on normal displays with full brightness in summary.
If you compare pure battery power with other cheap phones like xiaomi redmi 4 pro/prime (4200mAh) and a decent LCD IPS this could also work out for you + better bad light/night time usability.
€dit: would still go with the yotaphone since it has a galaxy S5 grade AMOLED display
Hello, so okay I agree the title is a bit too dramatic but I'm veryyy frustrated, so basically I've owned three android smartphones so far:
Samsung galaxy grand prime ve
OnePlus X
OnePlus 5
(a steady increase in specs)
And I have a question: why can I not get reasonable battery performance on any phone? On my oneplus X when I bought it, for the first few months I used to get 2.5 SOT and then months later I started getting barely an hour (45mins). No matter which roms or kernels I flashed, it made no difference. Battery saver on? No difference Greenify on? A small negligible amount saved...
Infuriated by this I finally came to buy a OnePlus 5 which I thought would put an end to this. However here I am, full of my battery saving habits still in me (which I have done so much research on to make sure they don't make it worse, trust me, I could write a battery saving wiki) and with a draining oneplus 5 in my hands. I've tried different roms and different kernels but still the same bad problem : a DRAINING BATTERY... I can get through a day with 3hrs SOT if battery saving mode is turned on but with a normal stock OOS I could never. I don't understand... I've tried BBS and GSam to try and find the source of this and still nothing. So I have resorted to the unofficial RR which comes with Lighting kernel which I have underclocked and use with battery saving mode on (not android's, ex kernel manager's one). So I have finally turned to xda so someone may be able to help me.
Cheers
Ps: I don't believe I am a target of the NSA and I have a special phone that is customized to track me...
I'd be looking at the apps you haveinstalled... Sounds like there's something running in background eating away at your battery life...
Or it's an energy vampire living in your home....
I am getting radically different battery performance with this phone day to day. One day it'll get a solids like 6.5 hours SoT and others I'll get like 4. Various issues it seems. Shouldnt be that hard to get consistent battery life.
Agree with above. Only common denominator here is you / your apps. But, stock+magisk with franco kernel and the app naptime is enough for me to get 5-7h sot out a full battery, but usually it's half full when I go to bed
You've mentioned that you tried many things to resolve this but I'll go ahead and tell you the things I use to make my battery last a little longer (hopefully there is something useful for you)
- Greenify with Magisk Module
- ForceDoze
- Location almost always on battery saving mode
- Force Doze for Google Play Services Magisk Module
- if WiFi is on, data will be off, and if data is on, then WiFi is off
- Bluetooth is always off if nothing is connected to it
- brightness is kept relatively low/halfway at most, the majority of the time
Running unofficial RR with Lightning Kernel v11 (1000hz version)
All this combined gives me roughly 9-9.5 SOT (about 140 apps installed)
If I forgot to mention anything, I'll edit it in here!
I've been very careful with my apps and I can't see what could be causing, I've tried third party Facebook apps instead of the official one for example and there's nothing strange installed.

Try with basic steps. Factory reset then:
1) Have totally stock OP5 - no "battery saving tricks", no apps. Run a bit. What is SOT? If less then average of 5-6 hours - either you have a "curse"/NSA tracking you or defective hardware.
2) Install your "battery saving trick" one by one testing after now and then. Are there any improvements in SOT? If yes, then write your wiki page, share your findings . If not, write your wiki page and tell us what application is a culprit.
3) Rinse and repeat until no more application left to install or you got bored.
I'm getting incredibly poor battery life after the latest update. I haven't let it fully deplete yet so maybe it just needs recalibrated?

There`s alot of sstuff activated on your 1+5. Try turning it off and check the SoT afterwards. Also some people were complaining because their Android-System was consuming way too much energy.

Oops, I meant to follow up on this. Android System and Google Play were causing a lot of wakelocks. I cleared cache in the Google Play and Google Services apps sad now I'm back to my typical 6-7 hours SoT.
Android 10, One UI 2.0 (beta) has been out for a while. I can understand that the software can be buggy. Still, it would be nice if someone could post their experiences about the battery life on the beta update.
I am currently on ASIG, september update, and believe the battery life was better on previous build.
Someone please share battery life experiences from Android 10, One UI 2.0.
My battery life is significantly worse. I've always had questionable standby drain but it seems worse. Also general use drains the battery more. The fact that they changed device care into worse doesn't help at all.
It's not great. And the way battery usage info has been reworked is awful, it's convoluted and difficult to understand compared to the way it was in pie.
If you use the U1 firmware the battery life is great. You do have to have a clen install (factory reset) but you can restore a smart switch backup no problem. The carrier (U) firmware version has really bad battery life though. So if you really want to use the beta flash U1 firmware BSIC, make a smart switch backup, apply update.zip from external sd card in recovery, and restore with the smart switch backup.
Sent from my SM-G975U1 using XDA Labs
So the removal of some device features and the overall worse battery life have lead me to installing BetterBatteryStats, with which I noticed that samsung cloud and com.process.media along with system (this I suppose is normal). Here is a screenshot:
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

In my use I have noticed great autonomy especially to play it no longer heats up in pubg Mobile and it gives me up to 5 hours of play with a 100% load and is more fluid, consumes less when you are not using, I have obtained up to 8 hours of active screen in multimedia and social media playback
My battery life is great improved on the beta. Normally I get 3hrs SOT, been getting closer to 5-6hr SOT with the Beta, location and GPS are always on also use spotify over bluetooth for 8hrs or longer every day.
Thanks all for your feedback
Hi,
I'd like to know if there is a way to test my pixel 4 battery, is it just bad or is it faulty?
I've just dropped my beloved Pixel 2 and got an upgrade to the 4. Upon receiving the Pixel 4 the battery was almost dead, something I've found uncommon in recent years. Normally new phones last 24hrs+ but this phone needs 2 charges a day, the same as my 2.5yo Pixel 2. I also notice it gets quite a bit hotter than my pixel 2 used to.
Is there a test available so I can determine if the battery is faulty? The operator said I can return it for an exchange but don't want to go through the bother if the Pixel 4 battery life is just bad.
Thanks,
Bradley

Hey Bradley, the issue here is that while you are giving an accurate question the circumstances described by yourself are a bit vague. The Pixel 4 is ok to make thru the entire day provided you are not into gaming. Plus if you are having a dark mode and the same goes for Chrome. The SOT was, is and ever will be an individual thingie no matter what everyone say. The battery has been quite a matter especially because of reviewers. I am not saying they are wrong. But if a phone can handle 15 % or 30 % by night it matters not, at least to me. I have never experienced any heating issue. Does that get warm? Yes, again when gaming. But I didn't notice it differs too much compared to the others. The Pixel 4 is no way a marathon runner but for a day it can go pretty well. You can download Better Battery Stats or any alikes to see what processes are the ones demanding the most. If there's no bad ass I would strongly consider getting a replacement.

Thank you for replying. I will return the phone for an exchange.
I use custom kernel, forcedoze, etc. to last more than 24 hours when idle. Naturally, it consumes faster when I keep operating it.

I used to use an app called ForceDoze, but recently I've been using FDE.AI.
The kernel uses CleanSlate.
