Is it me or do others have battery issues with .15? Is it posted somewhere else? I never had my battery go below 35% even after watching movies, TV shows, browsing, and games for most of the day here and there. Today is the first time I am actually down to 5% right now! What gives?
Download better battery stats to see what's been draining your battery more than usual. Check for rougue apps or Widgets running in background. Those can cause battery to drainer faster than normal.
Killed mine, not even a factory reset will let me get away from .15
Mine is getting drained at like 30% per hour when I use it
Hi there!
Since I updated from CM 10.2 to CM 11, I've been having battery drain issues with my S3. It drains really quickly, and won't last me through the day most of the time. Today I unplugged the phone at 6AM, and by 2:30PM, the battery level was at 10%. It was after 2PM that it started losing like 1% of battery every minute or so (even when not in use!) so I switched to airplane mode in order for the battery to last until I got home. Also note that I only used the phone for a while today (1hr 23 mins - see battery stats) and the usage was light - 20 mins music playback, one Bluetooth transfer, 15 mins WiFi tethering, 5 mins Hill Climb Racing - these are the most 'demanding' things I did with the phone. What really shocked me was that around 2PM, my friend's Huawei phone was at 60%, while mine was at 20%, but he'd had 2.5 hrs of screen time while I only had 1 hour. Not to mention his phone is more powerful and has a better screen...
I have Location set to Battery saving mode and have Location Reporting & History as well as the hotword recognition thingy turned off.
I've been on CM 11 since January, and recently updated my phone from M2 snapshot to the M3 version. While updating, I wiped the cache, dalvik cache and wiped all user data, thinking it would fix the battery drain. It didn't. Back on the M2 snapshot I tried greenifying Facebook, Messenger, Google+ and WhatsApp, but that also didn't solve the problem.
Also, about a month ago, I bought a new (original) charger for the phone, because the old one wouldn't charge the S3 when in use and when not in use, it would charge really slowly (like only 70% overnight in a few cases). The new charger fixed those issues, but could the battery drain be connected with the charger issue? Could the battery be damaged or dead? Or do you think it's a CM/Android issue?
I'll probably try to buy a new original battery, but I wanted to discuss this as a new battery might not fix it.
Thanks!

BETTER BATTERY STATS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539568
I did perform a search and I know there are many threads about battery life but thought my problem was a bit different so I made a new thread. Thanks for the links, though. Even though I've already done many of the suggested tips from the guide, I switched to ART yesterday and installed Better Battery Stats.
Now, 13.5 hours since unplugged, I have 37 % of battery left with 2 hours of screen on time. I guess enabling ART might have helped a bit...
Just a question, what am I supposed to look for in Better Battery Stats? I mean, is it Kernel Wakelocks or Partial Wakelocks that drain the battery more?
Oh and btw, the second link took me to OnePowerGuard Pro not Better Battery Stats. Just saying.
Recently, my battery percentage has been suddenly dropping like in the pictures below. It usually happens when I'm playing a game or doing some other battery intensive thing. I don't think the battery is really drained because it usually discharges to 1% and stays there for a long time in standby. But if I keep playing games, then it will shut down.
I am currently running Neutrino 3.02 and have had the same problem on CM 10.1 with the latest kernel.
I use ravilov's battery calibration app, but it doesn't seem to solve this problems. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Maybe the battery is too old or something else... Thanks for your help!

Install BBS and figure out what's keeping you phone from sleeping.

Hey everyone,
I haven't posted here in a while but I've got a problem that suddenly surfaced on my Nexus 4.
I am running Android 5.0.1 and my ROM is Mako (beta.v0.8-20141206-OFFICIAL-mako).
Starting yesterday afternoon, my battery is suddenly draining extremely fast. Even with the screen off it drains about 30% every hour, which is ridiculous because just the day before it was only about 1-2% every hour... It also takes a very long time to charge. I charged it all night last night (about 7 hours) and it only gained 45% battery.
According to my power usage it says that "miscellaneous" is taking up 52% of the battery so that must be the cause, but that's not really helpful because it doesn't explain what miscellaneous task is the specific problem...
I haven't installed anything new, or updated any apps, or uninstalled anything. I haven't really changed anything at all for a while now.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!
