[Q] Battery leak! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys I'm having a battery leak but i dont know which app/s is draining my battery i go to battery status and i only see
Phone idle 55%
Display 20%
Voice calls 11%
call standby 11%
android os 2%
Flipboard 2%
not sure if these stats help!
... but im sure that some background apps draining it , any idea how to discover the leak and deal with it ? i dont use 2g/3g gprs , Bluetooth or anything like that only wifi and not for a long time I'm running 2.3.4 un-rooted atrix4g with go launcher please help and thanks for your time

Have you checked another battery? I think that's an hardware problem dude =/
BTW you can try CPUspy and Battery Monitor Widget
I hope that helps.

Thanks im gonna try Battery Monitor Widget i got problem parsing package with CPU spy anyway how could it be a hardware problem ?

try advanced task killer and kill the unwanted apps . That will save battery . And i dont think that this is hardware problem .

OK. I think the battery life of your phone is shorted or it's broken but you can also try "BateryBetterStats" to see what process are draining more battery on your phone.
Task killers are not recommended on most on cases to use in Android SO.

Guys i was on like 20% battery today and i restarted my device to found that im back to 50% !! how come ?
Edit: turning off background data wont make so much difference

Well do I need to calibrate my battery? I thought battery calibration only when you flash a ROM !

You surely need to calibrate your battery . There are many third party apps also which help in saving and maintaining battery such as go power manager , battery saver pro , juice defender and more . Try them .

[Q] Hello Everyone.

Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

hey buddy sorry for the late reply..go to market and download the battery calibration app by Nema..once you installed it charge your phone fully go into the app and just follow the instructions and then you should be fully calibrated..
but download the app first
Thanks, i tried it todsy but it says root needed.
I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.
Install BetterBatteryStats from the Android Marketplace. Run it and see if there is/are any app(s) gone rogue abusing CPU power other than the display.

Idle battery drain problem

Hey guys, I have no idea what's happening, but this has been going on for a while. I have an unlocked galaxy s ii, and I love it, but lately the battery drain has been unbearable. If I just play a video on it I can probably get 5 hours of screen on time, which seems pretty good to me, but if its sitting in my pocket the battery just keeps going down. Once it went down 8 percent in five minutes doing absolutely nothing. Facebook also takes away way too much battery. Could someone recommend some apps to monitor battery usage and possibly tell me what to do? Thanks

1) try friend caster instead of Facebook
2) use better battery stats (BBS) app to see whats draining ur Batt so that u can take action with them
3) use CPU spy app to see if ur phone is entering Deepsleep r not
Rooted?

hy , yeah i use phone very much in last few days.... i dont have GPS on, till now i had all accounts and everything synchronized but now i only left google chrome synchronized....
Have you tried turning 'Restrict background data' on and 'autosync' off (settings->data usage) or even using apps like Juice Defender?
Still if your phone is awake all the time and you use wifi, gps, syncs and stuff you might consider getting an extended battery. Guess you're aware that the phone only has 2100 mAh.
Are you gaming much? Primary battery killer after the screen! And Facebook POS

Not to open new topic, but strange problem.
S3 is not charging fully, i tried with 3 different chargers and outlets. When I plug in it starts to charge but after 30s or so it stops. I tried battery pull, restart, wipe battery stats, format system nothing helps.
Any idea why or how to solve this issue?
reflash stock rom, factory reset, use stock charger.
send it in if that fails

Have you tried another ROMs/kernels ? For example, in boeffla kernel you can change AC/USB Charge Rate.

Delete Facebook app if you use it and use Atrium or Fast. Official app is power and resources-hungry monster. Also - try to use Greenify it's great application which can save some additional battery capacity. Try to find which processes uses most resources and disable/hibernate them.
I have weird battery drain when my XU loses WiFi connection (when I leave my house or turn off router). It still says it's connected to WiFi and drains battery like crazy.
my battery life is about 10 hours for normal use

have you installed it correctly? which kernel did you use?
may be the kernel doesn't do the job, and do put governor and I/O scheduler might solve the problem

flash devswift1's kernel..it will do a great job...also hibernate some battery draining apps with greenify and with the help of "app quarantine" disable apps like google play n some other apps like maps so that u can onlock them only when u need them..
and turn stamina mode on...
this all wud help a lot...
Try switching off Wifi over night setting in
Settings > Wi-Fi > [Options Button] > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep
to "Only when plugged in"
Maybe change the governor. Experiment with the option "Set at boot" (i don't no why, but sometime it helps, even if it should not)
Try an automatic task killer (kill every hour or so), this doubles my "battery time"

I have been having the same issue, here is some stuff which you can try which solved the same problem for me:
* Recalibrate your battery by wiping battery stats
* Change governor and I/O Scheduler.
* Uninstall apps like Facebook, they tend to drain the battery.
* Wipe cache and dalvik.

Replace your battery.
Problem solved.Just fully charged my battery and it's ok now
You can even add some build.prop & init.d tweaks in your phone to improve battery backup as you are rooted. And you can also try any custom roms which have better ui & also better battery backup & even good performance compared to stock roms...
