Battery drain - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm on viper4g my battery life on stock kernel has always been good on jellybean typically still have well over 50% by the end of my day just using my phone intermittent browsing Xda on my break at work or what have you. The other day this battery drain kicks in and I couldn't find a runaway app or anything that had change significantly bring it about. I heard about this app gsam battery monitor and have been using it only problem is the percentages are going way over 100% for phone signal I can't make out what the issue even is. From my understanding having a high percentage for screen is good since that means the power is drawing primarily from the display being on as oppose to data or radio having drain when you are not using them.

I had the same problem today. Also on viper4g, running custom kernel. Yesterday I ended the day with 1 day 4 hours on one charge. Today my phone was dead in 8 hours. Tried restarting it a couple times when I noticed the battery was dropping quick.

My house gets a weak signal but that hasn't ever been a huge factor...when it drains it does even when I'm working in town where there's good reception.

Strange wish I could pinpoint what happened, it appears I'm back on track now but I'm weary of phone signal % creeping back up near or over 50%

I had the same problem when i was running viper a couple of weeks ago and i just switched to a stock rom and knock on wood my battery lasts me the whole day.

Well vipers Rom isn't built to hold a charge for along time what they emphasized on was the ability to customize just about everything which seperates it from the rest.

Try to see which applications are running and what is more consumundo battery.
And also recommend that you calibrate. Me, whenever I do this procedure, I have a good improvement in autonomy.
Does this happen across different ROMs? You might have a bad battery.

Use Better Battery Stats and Watchdog Lite to see whats happening. In watchdog lite u can set the cpu percentage max to be 20% so that anything going beyond that can be reported. Usually works for me.

I think it might have been the state my battery was in when I flashed the first time because it hasn't done it yet and I was rom surfing last night nothing out of the ordinary happened I'll report back after work tomorrow that should be a good enough time to test it out

Phone not switching on: Battery and phone very hot

Just woke up and my phone is boiling, especially touchscreen and battery. Its not switching on, I left it on charge like I do every night.
Just to let you guts know, never flashed or rooted my s2. Its still on 2.3.4 with kernel 2.6.35
Turn the phone off remove battery and let it go cold .
Then connect to Samsung charger and see what happens .
Problems
One factory reset after backing up data .
Two try a another/new battery
Three return to service .

Try with another battery, I'm pretty sure that that will help

We've had it happen when a app has "hanged" and not closed on Gingerbread. Haven't had it happen yet on ICS *touch wood* .. phone gets hot and huge battery drain quickly.. even while on charge.
Maybe a recent app you have installed has caused the hang?
leaving your battery on charge overnight is NOT the problem
I posted this few days ago, I'm having another problem now, unsure if its linked to this. But occasionally when phone on charge, I'm getting a pop up notification saying 'battery paused, temperature too low or hot'
This happens regardless of the battery or charger. I've taken screen shots of they help. Battery temp is 67 with condition over over heating. How do I solve this

Bump, anyone?
Have you a bumper on the phone or other case protection ?
Depends on which battery I use, if its the official 2000 mah battery then I use a cheap £1 mesh case. If its the standard battery then I don't use any. The extended battery is now charging.
A friend with a phone shop told me to warm the batteries up before putting them on charge and to my surprise its worked, weird since batteries were saying over heating

Battery not reading properly/dying quickly

Hey guys, I've been having a strange issue with my amaze... I currently have Android Revolutions sense Rom, with faux v022... Well my title says it, after I finish charging, after it INDICATES it being 100%, I unplug and wait. 5 minutes later it would be down to 95%.... It continue to drop fast and stop then slow down.... And decrease fast again... I'm guessing the indicator is malfunctioning... I'm also reading the voltage of my battery when fully charged (i have a 1900mah banker) and it would hover at 4100-4200v... I feel that's a little low for it.. anyone else experiencing this issue too? Anyone got a fix for this? I'm getting really frustrated with this false reading/fast draining of my battery... Ive tried calibrating, fully decharging and recharging... New Roms, new kernels, stock kernel... Am I missing something here?

With an anker, what you're describing sounds pretty typical from what I've read on these forums. They don't behave like a typical oem battery. How long does it last? Worse then stock?
Yes, its an anker issue. Every amaze anker user will tell you the same thing like you described.

Hey thanks for the responses! The phone definitely lasts longer than the stock... I gues ill just have to live with the whacky reading.... Haha.. on average I'm getting 18+ hours off this battery... Just wish there was a fix to this but oh well! Thanks again for the response again!!

I have been using an anker battery, I'm running Fourth bar with faux kernel. So far this is the best battery life I've ever had. I used my phone quite a bit yesterday and even watched an hour of Netflix this morning.

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode

How much screen on time did you get?

[Q] Crazy battery drain

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.
