Anyone else having this kind of battery drain?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I'm not sure if that's really that unexpected.
It shows the battery going down, yes, but it also shows the phone was awake and the screen on almost that entire time.
If I played a game on mine, with the screen on the entire time, my battery would go down quickly as well.
Looks like you are streaming music, so yeah, perfectly normal

If that's all you were doing, then you've got some app keeping your phone awake and the screen on.
Fresh install though of vipers 1.2 Rom as apps did not have a chance to install yet from back up. Anyone know if the lte will drain the battery even quicker or is it the same as the 3g since its now integrated?

I had a similar issue and backed up my apps and did a fresh install and everything is great now. Don't forget to wipe Google wallet first

I still think it's because the screen was on that entire time. Check to see if you have it set to auto brightness.
As far as lte/cdma setting, I have not seen any difference in battery life when leaving lte on.
Yea I had auto brightness on was that the cause of it?

Download badass battery monitor, it will tell you what is using battery. I had a problem with wakelocks from mediaserver, killed some photo and music syncing services and battery life improved substantially.

evo3d comes with a task manager, check whats on and kill it. i do it often
Try watchdog.. it will notify you if an app is above threshold.

Try using OS monitor from the market. Go through the settings, change the sorting method to "load" and watch for BS running that shouldn't be.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

The only time I had really bad battery life was with the overclock kernal. I ghetto adb'd it to my phone around 12est and by 6pm est it was dead not low battery but completly dead. I poped the battery out reverted to stock temp rooted it without overclock now im back to the 12 hours heavy use 2 days with min usage.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

So I've been struggling with battery life on this rezound since I purchased it. It does get hot every now and then sometimes for no reason. I was waiting for aosp to come along to determine if it was just sense or the phone itself but since its not fully operational and makes my rezound hot as hell, I've stuck with sense roms for my day to day. The following screen shots are venom Rom desensed by me, including no weather, or facebook. The only thing syncing manually is gmail. That's it. No gaming here either. Downloaded a 7mb song, listened to mp3s with headphones and cruised the web a bunch.

That's about what I had using viperrez, although it seems your phone is discharging quickly when screen is off. I'd recommend under clocking when screen off to about 500mhz that works for me. Doesn't help with the screen on time though

1.) sense 4 is a MAJOR battery hog. id advise not to use ut unless your showing off
2.) i usually get 2hrs screen on, so id say NOT defective
3.) if you want like an extra 30-60 mins, try aosp. its fast and good on battery
hope this helps
Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate it. I did forget to mention something though... This is with the extended battery I know 2 hours would be about right on standard but I would think the extended should yield more no?

Most likely yes, isn't the extended battery 1.5x? Either way, battery consumption is hard to perfect. Like I said maybe underclock or find a battery saving build. Prop script to try I know system tuner pro has one built in.

Right after I rooted mine I had terrible battery as well. I ended up reformatting (not wipe, actually formatting my system and caches) and then installed my rom again, fixed permissions and my battery life has been amazing. If I don't use the phone my battery maybe drains five percent all day long. If I use it a lot it will last most of the day as well.

The other thing you should check is you fast dormancy.
If you're flashing custom ROMs it's best to do it at a FULL 100% charge. In the past, before I started doing this, I had major battery life "problems." My phone would drop from 100 to 1 in a matter of hours and just hang on 1% for hours on end. If you haven't done this, download Battery Calibration, turn off your device and plug it in. Once it reaches 100%, turn the device on, run the app, and restart your device WHILE STILL PLUGGED IN. Once everything settles you should be good to go.

Hi.
I am used to get about 4h30min-5 hours max but after doing this little trick I am getting 3 hours 20 minutes with 55% battery left.
The trick is to go into settings- apps- all, find android system and force close it. Don't worry, it will start up again immediately but the battery draining process seem to be killed.
Android OS is no longer the one causing the most battery drain. Android system has settled down too. Check it out!
(It seems like I got another problem to solve - Facebook is draining a whole lot now cos it's using the GPS. Still getting amazing battery life though!)

Coming from a Droid RAZR, you learn a lot of tricks to milk battery life. Trust me, the things I had to do to get those numbers aren't worth it. The drop off in the battery graph is when I got home and was able to turn everything back on and use it normally.
Right now, I average 18 hrs battery, and 5 hrs screen-on:
I am on stock ROM 11A.
Rooted and TWRP
Screen brightness set to auto/60% max
GPS and WiFi toggled on when I need it.
Everything on EXCEPT WiFi and Verizon location services
No disabled or frozen system apps or processes.
4 push emails.
I average 600 texts a month.
I average 6-8 GB on 4G a month.

For your Facebook GPS wakelock, let it connect and lock onto your GPS and the wakelock should stop. If you're closing up Facebook before it has a chance to lock, it will create the wakelock. If you don't want FB to connect to your GPS, make sure GPS is off before you open FB. Also, turning off GPS while in FB before it can lock will create the wakelock as well.
I can't express my gratitude enough. I reinstalled it to make it work lol

Actually, the numbers are legit. I will admit though, I've never been able to get close to that again. My average when I first got the phone was between 6-7 hours screen on time and about 12 hours battery life. Those 2 days, I just happened to be working massive overtime. Almost all of the screen on time was the second day. The dropoff on the graph was when I got home, turned everything on, and actually used it. It also helped that my work provides me a work phone which I was using during that time instead.
I have tried to hit those numbers again, but I can't, it was a one time deal which is why I took a screenshot. In my head, I'm telling my self that the battery is starting to get worn, but the truth is, I can't put it down long enough or put up with all of the disabled features.
The best I've been able to do since then is 18 hours battery life, about 3 hours screen on. And, 7 hours screen on, 10 hours battery. At this point, I no longer care. I'm happy with my 15 hours battery and 4-5 hours screen on.
It would be more if the battery wasn't starting to wear out....

You have to do this whenever you reboot your phone. I usually turn my phone off, charge it and then turn it on. The first thing I do after putting my pin code in, is to force close andros system.
