I started having the same problem a couple of days ago too. I think it is one of the apps that I recently installed from the market (flight view). I did a hard reset (uninstalled the battery while phone is on) and everything was fine for a day or two. Then it started happening again, so I suspected it was that particular app since it was there in "Running Services" despite not starting it. So I just uninstalled it and will see how things go.

Go into settings and make sure all Auto-Sync options for updates and social web sites are not ticked, if they are ticked these run constantly to check status check them manually when you want to, also turn WiFi on and off manually don't leave it on all the time.
Had the same issure. Apparently the problem was 3G/EDGE data transfers. By disabling all data transfer battery life was improved a lot, but then i needed internet frequently so having to turn on and off data transfer wasn't the best idea. Flashed the phone with generic firmware, and so far battery life is decent.
i'm having crappy battery on the latest update 2.0.2.A.0.24
i'm using the rooted version and JIT v2 enabled.
lost 15% in 6 hours last night with the phone not being used at all.
cell standby is killing my battery (57%), but i have good signal strength.
phone idle is at 17%, display 15%, system 5% and acore 3%.
something is going on with the cell standby.
i can't figure out if it's because i'm using google voice or something else.
something else is that my phone is now listing it's model as x10i, when it's an x10a. i know this is because of the generic update firmware. but i wonder if that has something to do with the standby battery drain.

FYI - total battery use must always add up to be 100% - It may appear that the cell standby is using up the most resources.. that may not always be the case. Check your time without signal..
Hmm it seems happen to me too since I tried Jit v2. Will try to revert back to v1. Will report back when I tried it.

Alright, so to update you guys, it has been 2 days since I removed the "culprit" app called flight view and my battery life is back to normal. So, if you all of a sudden see that your battery life is reduced, then go back and check the latest apps you installed. It is probably one of them that is causing the problem. Hope this helps.
I agree with certain apps constantly running in the background draining the battery. One way I found to determine what's doing what, is by using Advanced Task Killer, and periodically checking to see what apps are running(without being opened by myself), then killing all apps, then check back in a minute for the culprits. If it started up again on it's own and uses a lot of resources but I don't use it every day, I disable or uninstall it. When I need it again, I enable or reinstall it.
Also, set advanced task killer to kill all apps on screen off. That will help your standby time. Set apps you need running in background, like messaging, to ignore.
Also, turn down the brightness of you screen, and shorten the screen timeout length. They all can add a few seconds and a few clicks to certain tasks, but I still have 30% battery the mornings after I forget to hook up my charger the night before.

The problem is I don't install new apps after applying Jit v2. And my battery works fine with Jit v1. Well today I tried to remark #dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit. Let's see how the battery performance today. ^_^
Btw the linpack score is still the same around 32.

I've deleted some recent apps and my battery return to normal.
It might be because of apps running in the background. Things like moixer mail and track id is notorious for battery drain issues. Better get them removed via titanium backup

If you updated your X10a into X10i, and you are now experiencing battery or connection problems it could be due to the missing cell broadcast widget called Cell Information only found in the X10a firmware and possible other unknown differences.

Hi
I installed watchdog lite due to weird wakes up at night the last 2 days (I thought they were gone for good with last updates but it seems to have come back) and more battery drain than I used to have, although it still good enough for me, it was excellent just 2 days ago.
I found that there are two processes that had activate watchdog alerts: "events/0" and "suspend"
Any ideas what they are? any way to solve wake ups at night I did not have before?
See pictures attached
Thank you
Villainrom 2.4.2
Kernel ninphetamine 2.1.1
Modem KH3
Wifi on at home (otherwise off)
bluetooth off most of the time
gps off most of the time
at night everything off except 3g that I never disconnect (lazyness)
I use to get these causing the alarm on watch dog, both using up to99% , every 30-60 mins during the night when the phone is in standby till i white-listed them.
I dont know what they are some heavy system process or something, watchdog will not let me blacklist them.

But if you whitelisted, it is just like shutting notifications off for those processes.. right? any way of keeping them sleep at night? like the rest of us ?
for me it's WLAN related, when i switch wlan off, events/0 and suspend wont go mad in standby at my SGS2...
someone proposed a while ago that this could be router related, and therefore not all users experience this!
this is the normal android gingerbread bug.. these are the two processes that keep it from going to complete sleep and chewing up battery. white listing them just removes them.. if you check they will still be chewing up cpu.. which is why you only get 1 day max on this phone with both wifi and 3g on vs. 2-3 days with my older sgs now running gingerbread.
turning off 3g and wifi gets rid of it but that is not really a solution...
I always manually turn wifi blue-tooth and gps off at night, and i still get events/0 and suspend waking up watchdog with 99% cpu usage?
So the solution until there is a better one is to turn off wifi and 3g...
I think I will do it at night, but during the day...
I had this phone to use it (internet, gps, etc...) not to keep it off all time, I already underclocked and undervolted... (that improved battery life a lot). If it only would go to sleep when not in use it would be great.
Thanks for help
Update: I turned off wifi and 3g and no watchdog alert from these processes or any other.
I will turn it on during the day and we'll see.

turning off 3G AND Wifi does not really tell you whats doing it. is it the data being on thats causeing the problem or a app that is syncing that is causing the problem.

Hi,
What wi-fi routers do you have?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I have the same problem with very similar ROM/Kernel/Modem configurations.
Now I may be wrong, but I thought this bug was supposed to be fixed in 2.3.4 which VillainROM runs?
Also of note is that this "bug" does not seem to drain my battery anywhere near as badly as it did with my Captivate. On my Captivate suspend would usually sit at around 15% when bugged, and drain my battery like crazy. Suspend and events/0 both sit at anywhere from 30-60%+ on my SGS2 but it doesn't seem to affect my battery at all (or much, at least).
Could this possibly be a display bug? I've noticed Watchdog doesn't seem to update every minute a lot of the time, whereas it always updated on my Captivate.
So I've also found that the longer my phone is idle, the higher events/0 and suspend usually are. Doesn't seem to happen when the phone is plugged in though, as I never seem to get alerts from Watchdog overnight.
It is true that doesn't seem to affect much, but there are awakes, and should not be there any (or at least only a few). I gave up, uninstalled watchdog and forget it... I will enjoy the phone and will check periodically for updates.
Thank you everybody.

umm.. just whitelist the two event and then Watchdog wont give you any warning for thoes too..
What's the point of whitelist? they are running anyway, so I just uninstall watchdog and 1 less app running.

well, a whitelist is for a process or event that you know might spike past your set % in watchdog. so for example if you know that Events/0 will spike past 50% for example, and you don't care to be warned of this process. So you can keep Watchdog installed and working, and when Facebook decides to sit there doing god only knows you WILL be notified.
Its kinda like a boy who cried wolf scenario, but with logic.
Watchdog catches a lot of apps that I mess around with, I think it is a super helpfull program.
UPDATE : The battery drain is absent in the 4.xx OTA update. This is for people who used the flash tool or updated via PC Companion.
PROBLEM: As you've noted, there is a bug in the new 4.x (2.3.3 with xLOUD) update. It constantly searches for network even while connected to one. Due to this users are experiencing poor battery life that lasts no more than 10 hours on moderate use.
SOLUTION: Go to settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile networks > Network Operators > and manually select your operator (2g/3g will be identifiable by the 2g/3g icon). Manually selecting the network reportedly kills the auto search bug ( No wonder Sony pulled the update from PC Companion). If this doesn't work for other devices ( I've only tested in R800i ), It's better to flash back the 3.xx firmware to ensure the long term capacity of your battery.
People are reporting normal battery performance after this setting has been done.
Comments are appreciated
I'll be sure to do this when verizon actually gets the update.... ; ;

Please root your phone and throw the bloat away. SETCPU when screen off underclockED will save even more battery. You can also put Voltage control lower for even more juice

Check your battery usage.
If you have more than 35-40%% use on mobile standby, then your phone has the bug causing the battery to drain.
Contrary to what some people may believe, "Mobile standby" doesnt mean "idle", it means it is scanning for signal.
Take sim out, take battery out, for a few minutes, reboot, then use the solution the OP describes to permanently turn of the bug.

This is a most bizzare problem you have.
SetCPU can overclock (drain battery even more) or underclock (save battery) the cpu.
Ideally you want it underclocked when the screen has dimmed off, and overclocked when you are demanding graphical intensity. (games etc).
I personally think you have the scanning for radio bug still. Are you sure you have turned OFF automatic network?

Yes, It's already set to manual..
I have a quick question.
I seem to be having the battery drain bug on my R800i (UK) however, I am a bit worried about setting it to manual.
I am with Orange here in the UK, and with Orange u can also use T-Mobile transmitters, where i live and work, i switch between Orange and T-Mobile quite often, if I was to set my phone to manual, and to Orange 3G, when i lost Orange 3G signal, what would happen? Would it still automaticall change to the T-Mobile signal, or would i be left without any signal at all??
I am rooted, and I am already using SetCPU, with also the lowest setting when on stand-by, so the only other reason for my battery drain is the bug.
Thanx in advance, and sorry that it turned out to be not such a quick question, lol.
Like the title says:
I use the stock rom and after the Update on ICS i noticed my phone is getting really hot even when im not using it. I tried using advanced task killer to close app running in the background and i also close every app i use in ics multitasking... its draining battery very fast! 40 % in 30 minutes. Its not warm the whole time just sometimes it gets warm and drains battery... dont know what to do :/

Taskkiller itself is not running in background. i use it sometimes to look which app are running in background and to kill the ones i dont need. The problem is the battery status is looking normal. Display 33% phone 19% and some other apps do also drain battery.... but the problem is its only getting warm when i dont use it. sometimes when its laying on my desk i pick it up and notice this. when i look at my battery then its sometimes 20% less then 10 minutes before when i checked facebook for example. for me this must be something with the firmware or not? or some hardware defect?
maybe take it to a mobile service
Did you make wipe after ICS update? Maybe its a bad configuration after the update.
Also, you can try CPU Spy in Google Play and tell us if phone is on state "deep sleep" (when you lock the phone, it should enter this state where battery drain is minimal).
Make screenshot of Battery Usage screen and post it here.
Then install BetterBatteryStats, use it for few days, then make screenshots(Partial Wakelocks, Alarms and Processes) and post these here.
I have the same problem, but I know it comes from the Exchange service. Sometime it becomes crazy and drain the battery + heat the phone.
For now, I just have disabled my Exchange account... Not really a good solution.
I have found others thread talking about this problem on other phones (all with ICS), but found no answer.
I did not made any wipe, nor before, nor after the update (from stock GB to stock ICS).
It's not very helping, I fear...
just a few senteces about my day:
The battery was loading untill 7:15 today then i went to school; my phone in silence mode and i used it for 4-5 whatsapp messeges and maybe 3 facebook checks and 1 or 2 instagram checks.
it got hot a few times again and its on 34% now. really bad i would say. on gingerbread i had like 60-80% after a half day in school with much more use.
Now i looked what drained Battery. in ics i cant take screenshot so i just write it down:
40% Facebook Calendar Sync
19% Display
10% Phone
8% STandby
6% WLAN
5% Android Core Apps
4% Facebook
4% Android OS
2% Android System
This is the first time i look at the battery drain seeing that Calendar Sync is taking so much Battery. I still believe it could be something else because before it was nearly the same without calendar sync and display on first place.
So for now i think im going for a wipe, hoping it will be better then.
i will share my experience with you asap. :good:
woah, 40% on that FB crap?
also, the system standby usage seems a bit large also.
try to wipe it, maybe flash some other ROM and see if it helped you.
a healthy battery usage would have display at 70% or so, phonecalls 15%, then all the rest.
depends on your usage tho.
but something is definetly wrong with your phone.
you said that the problem occured after you updated it,
so i think the hardware is out of the question (if the phone worked normal before the update), i'd definetly flash something there, the stock rom is useless anyways..
there are very good roms even if you have locked BL, check kamarush and the new CyanogenTimescape rom also.
keep us updated about ur problem

you must root first, then copy the rom to SD, reboot in CWM, and install from there. it's pretty straightforward from there on just make sure you select "locked bootloader" when prompted.
After the update from gb to ics I didn't notice a much higher battery drain. I use it like on gb and on my feelings battery lifetime stays equal to gb. I have got an unlocked bootloader but still on stock rom using rage kernel ics 3.2.

Soooo. I looke up what have drained my battery and it seems that the Xperia Facebook sync (The stock sync thats buildin in the normal firmware) have drained the battery. on GB everything worked fine. Now i deactivated the sync and the battery life is much better. It seems that my phone also stopped getting hot. But for me GB still had a better battery life. Today i woke up at 7 am (germany) and played Football Manager a few times between the lessons and in a free lesson so im at 16% battery now (should be ok because the football manager drains a lot of battery) and battery usage shows:
64% display
16% FMH 2012 (football manager)
7% Android System
5% Mobilfunk-Standby
4% Facebook
etc etc etc.
looks normal for me :good:
guys my battery life is fine now but i have freezes now... if i use my phone for whatsapp it sometimes just completely freezes. no chance to see a reaktion for any button any ideas wtf is going on there?
Battery drain that you've encountered is definitely not normal. I get about 3 days on ICS, and think that is what you should be getting as well. Crappy FB application is either bugged or broken, because you're not the first one that got their battery drained by FB calendar sync. My advice would be to remove FB calendar sync service, or disable it somehow, if you're not using it.

On the xmp with ics you have xperia facebook. its a facebook calendar, contacts etc sync by sony. This was the app draining my battery. i disabled it and now i have like 1 1/2 day battery with normal usage.
And for my problem with the freezes. i removed all bloatware i could but my phone is not rooted. i was thinking about rooting but i'm kinda new to the xmp roms and its hard to find ics ones that are working perfectly. before i had an lg p990 and i was using cm7.2. it was working like a charm.
i know how to root the xmp i saw some tutorials but im still not convinced

Within 10 minutes after all night charge it went from 100% to 93% in power saving mode.
How can we fix this situation?
Tnx!

Did you perform a wipe?
Have you let the battery discharge fully a few times yet? My battery always improves after the first full discharge

1) I did it on stock rom, should i do it again on JB ?
2) I didn't made full wipe, i upgraded my stock ICS via ODIN into JB DLI4 and then upgraded with odin into DLI5. All stable, super smoooth but life seems short on it.

Let your battery do 1 or 2 complete cycles and then judge it..when you do a fresh install a lot of syncing goes on in the background..

Then you should do a full wipe and report after at least 3 charge discharge cycles.
You could try wiping your battery stats in the advanced menu from recovery too before you start your discharges. Some people say this doesn't do anything but it only takes a second so can't hurt. I always do it after a full wipe. That way you're starting from a clean slate

Battery life on LI5 is a bit worse than LH1 but not by much.
I think it's around 15-20% worse overall.
Use betterbatterystats to find out what exactly is really causing the problems if it prevails after a full wipe. It might be that a couple of google apps synchronize at first in the backgroudn and cause a lot of battery consumption.
I use DLI5 and it only uses up about 1% in standby without energy saving. But i did some tricks to get there. For example, i disabled photo sync and google plus sync while my display is turned off (settings->data usage->disable background data for the apps that use up too much). Other than that, i don't use any battery saving apps and always have wifi on (even though this probably uses more energy than having it turned off at standby).
With some undervolting and bloatware removal plus sync tweaking the best idle drain I have achieved is 0.7percent/hr with all the apps I need. Very happy with that. Not on jb though. Ain't gonna test jb until it's officially out. Hopefully when it matures it should be on par if not better than ics

I also had this issue. In my case I realized that android.procesd.media went crazy eating up cpu and also bandwidth and it wouldn't stop.
I could not find a solution, I did a complete wipe (formatting system and even internal sdcard). In the i dropped DLI5 and went back to DLI3.

Betterbatterystats is suggested but i looked for this the other day coz i had some unusual battery drain going on - Full Wake lock bar!!
Seems that is a purchase app only so looked for a free alternative - came across GSam Battery Monitor - Free app - which is great and supplys alot of useful info. (used to be called badassbatterymonitor apparently)
Found that for some reason that the hotmail app was causing the wake lock so phone not going into deep sleep (not sure why, done it today too!!) so i just force stopped it.
Check that app out and look at hotmail app if installed. Can actually see the wake issue under normal battery status on phone to - like todays issue - shows hotmail as 6% battery use which is low compared to everything else but if i click on the hotmail line it then shows extra info including stay awake - mine is reading 2h 56m & 48s - well until i force stopped it.
Maybe this will be of some help:good:
No problems here, but then I removed all the bloatware inc kiesexe.
Use Better Battery Stats as someone mentioned. You could also try Watchdog task manager from the market. Set it up so it monitors the system level, that's off by default. Those two apps shall source the problem down to exactly what's up
Also don't compare battery use so quickly..... as has been said.

I'm looking for help trouble shooting why my Atrix is suddenly sucking the battery dead over the period of a few hours. I've had my atrix for almost 2 years now and always had excellent battery life. After some app updates a couple weeks ago my phone started sucking the battery empty in just a few hours. I bought a new OEM battery thinking my battery had just expired, but this made no difference. I've uninstalled the apps and killed the processes for apps that I thought might be to blame, but still the problem remains. The "Battery usage" app shows that "Phone idle" uses the vast majority of the power. Is there some way determine which process is actually using the power, or a way to tell if maybe the processors are not being put to sleep when they should?
Download CPU spy from the play Store and check if the processor is entering deep sleep. it might as well be that the signal is low and the antenna, constantly searching for signal is consuming that battery power. Is the 3g ( and data) enabled?

Thank you very much! I installed CPU Spy Plus. In 2 hours 45 minutes my battery went from 100% to 50%. CPU Spy shows 85.9% of the time is in "Deep Sleep", and the rest of the time is sprinkled between 216MHz and 1000MHz. The back of the phone is slightly warm. So it looks like the CPU's are going to sleep properly, I wonder what else it could be?

Then it's probably the cell standby, read this guide here!
Or, there is some Background service of an app which is running but not using CPU... could be Maps, try turning off gps.

Did you try turning that off?
Romanoff lhption
According to my phone, only 12% went to "cell standby", 17% to "display" and 63% to "phone idle". My wifi is always disabled, and I always have 3g and data enabled. I just unchecked the options to use WiFi and GPS for location and I'll see if that makes a difference. If not then I will turn off data and see if that makes a difference.
I'm on the right track! Turning off location services did not make any difference, but disabling data entirely seemed to put the battery drain back to normal, AND the "deep sleep" percentage shown in CPU Spy went well up into the 90%+ range. So now I know the battery drain is caused by some app keeping the CPU from sleeping, and possibly using the data connection a lot. FF though some trial and error, and I am now suspecting the Google Play process. With data and background data enabled, if I kill the Google Play process and add it to the auto-end list, battery drain seems to possibly be back to normal. And the CPU is still spending 90%+ in "Deep Sleep". With Google Play running, the CPU is much more active. After another day or two I'll know for sure if Google Play is the problem. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions so far!
PS-> I see that Google Play Store will remove itself from the auto-end list..
OK now I need help. The problem is definitely google play. When I kill the process my battery usage goes back to normal, however the process keeps coming back to life on its own. Adding it to the auto kill list does nothing, and I was unable to uninstall it. Is there some way to roll back google play store to a previous version, or prevent it from starting itself?
What version of the Play app are you using? Version 4.1.10 came out a few days ago, they say among other things it fixes high battery drain on some devices/systems.
From what I've seen, Play is a kinda "special" app. There is no way to freeze it or kill it permanently. Not sure why.

How can I tell which version of play is installed? My problem started a couple weeks ago right after I installed some updates. I don't remember if Play was one of the apps that was updated. Is there some way to roll Play back to an earlier version?
hi, im having the same problem but not sure what is draining the battery. Using playstore 4.1.6 on Mrom whith SV kernel ver. 45. all services and data off, wifi off full signal bars and the battery only lasts 24 hrs on idle.
cpu spy shows 99% of deep sleep time, il try stopping playstore services and post again.

You just answered your own question... I don't understand where the confusion is.
Please re-read my previous post.
Is ur phone is rooted? Den I have a killer app dat will help u out @marcous
Sent from my GT-I9082 using xda premium
Yeah is rooted thanks, i deleted the app playstore service or something like that with titanium backup and the battery drain is less than 1%/hour now . the playstore still works btw no problems until now.
the undervolt on cpu works amazing too.

You're luckier than me. Uninstalling the play store service and rolling the play store back to the old "market" helped a little, but definitely didn't resolve the issue. After that change, my battery drain was about 10%/hr. Every time I think I've resolved it, it quickly reverts back to high battery drain. If I completely disable all data then my battery life goes back to normal. My buddy at work is now having the same problem with his Atrix. I'm wondering if AT&T decided that it's time for us to upgrade our phones and pushed down some changes to make these older phones less desirable to work with, by killing the batteries faster.

not so lucky i must say , got the problem back after a couple of hours. im changing roms/kernels in order to find the best combination. Actually managed to get like a 1% /hour battery drain, with ALL things turned off, il keep testing for like a day or two.
i'm having the same kind of issues as well my atrix...
also my battery meter frequently reads wrong i've tried both the atrix battery fix app which i had setup to automatically run the fix when ever it reached full voltage and the bat meter wasn't reading full i've also tried the some other .zip program i found on XDA with minimal success
i'll be paying attention to this thread to see what comes up
Edit...
Did a complete wipe of my phone and installed neutrino 2.9 EE vice GT or GT+ that I have been running previously
discovered Facebook and juice defender ultimate have permissions to modify battery statistics, so I disabled those permissions (along with multiple others from different apps) and turned juice defender off to see if battery consumption changes
As well I uninstalled Google services via titanium backup, report back in as couple days see if anything changes
Reporting, it seems like the phone cant get in deep sleep mode, tried wipes, new roms and kernels and getting the same problem. Maybe its a hardware related issue
I'm having a similar issue. I've removed play services, and changed radios and kernel. Will check to see if this helps.

Same Problem
I have the same problem. I've read all thread and checked Play Service, yes it looks as if it's his fault.
Tried to delete it with "Root app remove" and titanium backup. No result it's coming back!
Really need help. This is a great phone with unique features (docking station). But before it worked 3 days on a single charge, and now 24 hours!
Google bought Motorola why is it so hard to fix this issue and why it's still working under Android 2.3.6... Give us ICS!
P.s.: System version 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US, Android 2.3.6, Baseband N_01.77.37P
Had Google Play 4.1.6. Today changed on 4.1.10 maybe it'll help.
