Sorry to hear about the battery life. I personally have had amazing battery life. My phone was at 14% when I went to sleep and woke up to 7%. Not sure what the issue is. Connectivity is the only thing that stands out. I doubt she had bad reception. Any apps she's downloaded that could be using her connection more than it needs to? Only other thing could be is the battery. Does she leave it plugged in all night?

Well she was getting great battery life before 2.06 I think. And I know my house, the area is quite strong for a connection. I barely got signal in my room and I got better battery life even with RILJ tripping hardcore. Not sure about the apps. But She plugs it in before she goes to bed, and its by her side all night. So it's not left on the charger all night

Hmm. Could have been a bad update? I hate doing a factory reset but it sounds like it might come to that :/ before that when did the issue start? Maybe we can correlate an app download to the start of the issue?

It could be a bad update, but without me actually on the phone myself kinda hard to pin it down. Before the update she only installed a few apps. She already uninstalled 3 of them which she never used. I just looked the apps via Google Play online account and nothing looks suspicious and those are all the same apps she used on the Inc2 before she got the DNA

My guess the update didn't go as planned. Tell her to move all her files to her pc and do s factory reset. Hopefully that corrects the issue. All else fails. She could let the bootloader redo the update and hope that was the case.

Are you turning off data? Perhaps facebook is keeping your phone constantly awake(looks like it) and that kills your battery. First post a picture of the "other" category in better battery stats and get one power guard and post a screenshot of the "statistics" page.

Looks like she has bad reception. Go to settings, about and network to see the signal strength. msm_hsic wakelocks happen when you have a bad signal, ril also causes wakelocks. This is probably the issue(90% sure).

After installing wifi calling I noticed a serious decline in my battery life. As in, unplug phone at 8am, battery dead by 2pm. Used system panel to find out wifi calling uses 30% of the cpu even if you've neve opened it! !
I used titanium backup to freeze the app and that fixed my battery life.
Problem is, now I see rom builders including the app in their roms. I installed Team Whiskey's froyo rom and there it is, wifi calling taking all my battery life. Problem this time is I can't freeze the app! Can't even kill it. If you are a rom maintainer, please please please stop including this app! It is only marginly interesting, and it destroys our batteries

i use system panel and i also noticed it was constantly in the foreground n no way to end it
Since my phone has been unplugged on obsidian froyo, I haven't sent a text or call, wifi calling is connected, not a percent of the battery was used by this app according to the system battery use...
On my mytouch 4g the wifi calling is what gave me such better battery life...
Not sure what's wrong with yours but its not inherently a bad app at all

WiFi uses more battery than cell radios.
It is the #1 power drainer on my Macnut install. I froze it in Titanium Backup to "fix" the issue.

False. Using a strong Wi-Fi signal when available will save you tons of battery over the regular cell. The probably with the Wi-Fi app is that it is always running and uses TONS of CPU. I'm talking upwards of 30% at a time.

I'm not referring to using the wifi calling. I do not have it enabled - wifi is turned off altogether, but wifi calling app is chewing through the cpu, killing the battery.
I'm not having this problem using Obsidian. It's likely not the app itself - may depend on the ROM you're using.
I noticed it taking up 30% of my CPU even when I wasn't using it. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it either. So, I uninstalled it for now.
I am not having battery problem either, in fact I believe it is helping to get better battery life. Although, I am thinking the wifi calling is not very mature yet. I tried it out few times, and I had problem of people not hearing me well on the other side while they sounded great on my side. Is anybody else having this problem?

I started off with Obsidian and noticed it was the top power drainer then too.
I don't mean to hijack, but does wifi calling use minutes...if so what's the point unless you have poor coverage at home?

it does use minutes. point is if you dont have cell coverage, you can use wifi for calls instead.

As I said in my original post, I am using obsidian. Have you actually checked using system panel that the app is no chewing cpu cycles ?

Guys the problem is that Wifi calling is using CPU when it's disabled and wifi is OFF.. Not while using the thing. Thats something different from what we are talking about.
Sometimes a reboot fixes it but it acts up again after a few mins and use even more cpu.
Hey guys, I know most of you have seen enough posts about the battery but I need some help on understanding why my phones battery dies over night when it was at 58% when I put the phone aside. Here's a screenshot

I've checked BBS and it doesn't show anything obvious. No wake locks and no processes draining battery. I did some research and read that the Google apps and services are hard on battery. I'm running the latest stock firmware with AJ_Newkirk's kernel. Is there anything I could do to have 1% idle drain like most other people? I might change my kernel to see if this a kernel problem.

Hm, that's very odd. Could you please post a Screenshot of your BBS? That would be helpful. Normally I'd say it's probably BLN or suspend_backoff, but since you're saying that there aren't any wakelocks, your battery is either really old, or very very poorly calibrated....
Poorly calibrated? I havent checked on that yet.
I also forgot to get a screenshot of BBS. Ill get a screenshot after another charge cycle. But i read somewhere that this devices fuel gauge doesnt need calibration.

Personally I wanted to test this out... so I returned to gingerbread, and then ics. By far it was a long shot that gingerbread was better than ics. Don't know whats causing it, and I've asked aj to do a little battery working on his rom. But no avail...

There is no need to calibrate your battery on the i777 as it does nothing.
On to OP's question:
The battery percentage can be deceiving at times. I've noticed that after flashing numerous roms/kernels, my battery % would increase/decrease. This is insane as it should always decrease a bit after flashing. My remedy was to use a kernel that could wipe the fuel gauge (fluxxi or siyah). You can do this by using their respective apps (as you're on the official "leak" customized by AJ, get extweaks once you're on Siyah). After doing that, let the phone naturally die off. Then do a full charge cycle. This helped a lot in having a more accurate reading of my battery % as well as longer battery life (at least from my observation).
Also, are you using the official battery for the i777? If so, how long have you had the device? I've heard that some had to buy a new OEM battery.
Yes I have the original battery. I've realized that a lot of the roms I've used have some kind of battery life problem. Roms like MIUI are rough on battery on my phone. But the best battery life I've ever had was on a CM9 Nightly. Too bad the CM9 camera wasn't too good or I would've stuck with it I think I'll try switching to AOKP and give that another try, even though I've flashed that rom a countless number of tines already.

Most of the Devs recommend 3 cycles of depletion/charge before you even worry about battery life. Plus have you checked to see if you have a roque app chewing up battery?
Yes ive checked that too. I usually dont install many apps to begin with. Ill let the battery deplete 3 times and report back. I would also like to say thanks to everyone for their input.

If you have something specific in mind then by all means share it with me.
Unfortunately, you saying "i get bad battery life" is of no help - especially when I am getting VERY good battery life, and so is everyone else who comments about battery life.
To the OP: You might want to reinstall and use the fresh install option. I have never seen Semi use battery in a bad way unless a rogue app was in play.
EDIT: I just noticed that you have checked for wakelocks. In the absence of any wakelocks, you may have a hardware issue. How much screen on time did you have in those 13 hours?

I think I had about 1 hour and 30 minutes or close to 2 hours. If this was a hardware problem how should I handle that? I got the phone in February, I'm not sure if I have warranty now since it has been a few months since I got the phone.
I have siyah kernal and if you boot cwm hit kernal specific items then set the battery to performance that may help. I've NEVER seen a drain as bad as yours. Are you on Wi-Fi? If so a bad wifi network that sends out a lot of un-needed traffic may hurt you.
Kernal specific options -> set battery to 'optomized'
If anything, and sorry if you said this, but go back to bone stock no apps, do it before bed is when I do things like this, let it set if you still see that drain jigg it and return it. Honestly if it is a hardware problem I wouldn't try to mess with it and break it then be sol. Maybe it is the battery go to any att shop and they should flip you a new one for free if you get a cool dude or lady like I usually do. Sorry if my posts waste your time just trying to help

Any help is welcome, and thanks for your time. I think I'll try to wait another few days to see how the battery life is. As of now my battery dropped from 55% to 30% in a little more than an hour. I also didn't wake the device at this time. I hope it's not a hardware problem, I've noticed poor battery life for as long as I've had the phone but it wasn't as bad as it is now. Does anyone know about how the warranty works? I always thought the warranty lasted for 30 days or 3 months or something.

My phone battery life has gotten worse on my week old Samsung device.
I first looked up that there was a problem with a decimal point somewhere in a file. I followed necessary steps online to root my device and flash whatever it was (sorry don't know the jargon, I'm an Apple geek but very new to Android) to sort out my battery problem with cell standby mode showing at 75% in the battery settings menu.
I did notice a difference after doing this for ONE day.
My phone has drained horrendously today after 4 hours after a full charge, I was down to 30% battery life.
Wifi is off, Power saving mode is off (after reading online that it actually drains more power), GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, Sync is off and Driving Mode is off.
Everytime I use my device, I always use Task Manager and "Remove All" then I clear my RAM (which always closes 22 apps, even if I've just sent a text!)
This phone is driving me crazy with this issue and I'm about ready to throw it through a window and go back to my iPhone 4S.
I moved to Android because I didn't like the small screen on an iPhone. BAD MOVE!!!!
If anyone can help me out with some resolution, I'd be grateful. I'm new to Android so this is all just confusing me.
Thank you. :good:
check apps are not refreshing every 15 minutes or so, eg Facebook. Twitter. Log out of Google Talk, its logged in by default. Turn off location history (Latittude) in Maps. Just basically check the apps you have installed.

I shouldn't have to turn off Facebook and Twitter to be fair. My iPhone never had any problems with them two apps being signed in and being set up for push notifications. I can't believe how bad Android actually is.

Maps kills battery too, network location service. Leave GPS on, turn off wireless location, if you get what I mean.
GPS is only used when an app is in use, network location is pinging away in the background all the time.
Android isn't bad, its just not a kids os like iOS, it takes a bit of learning to get the most out of it.
Once you start delving into it you'll get hooked.

Install apps like cpu spy and better battery statts, that gives you a vieuw about cpu deep sleep time and apps keeping the cpu awake with abnormal activity and thus draining the battery

I was at work during those 4 hours so I literally wasn't using my phone at all. The phone screen was locked and in my pocket.
I got it out on my break and couldn't believe just how much my battery had drained.
com.sec.android.app.launcher was showing at 23%
Android OS 20%
Samsung Syncadapters 9%
Android System 9%
Twitter 8%
eBay 8%
Screen 4%
I don't know the rest cos I just took a screen shot to send it to my friend to ask what the first one was.
I really can't see me and Android getting on to be honest, which is a shame because I love the actual handset but I really don't like the operating system at all.

Launcher?!? Damn, that's unusual.
When an app does that its called a wakelock, it happens sometimes.
You could try something simple like a reboot and that might solve it or you could go to settings > applications manager > all > touchwiz home (something like that) and clear data.
Alternatively you could download a vanilla android launcher like nova or apex from the play store.
your launcher is your home screens and your app drawer.
Search xda for "betterbatterystats" and use that app to see what else is causing these wakelocks.
Repeat the same thing tomorrow and that'll give you precise info on the troublesome apps.

dont clear ram! everytime u do that all the apps have to re-open and it only drains battery.
try to let android handle the ram.
and also let the battery drain a few times and charge at once.
battery should last at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours screen time.
also use wifi rether then 3g

Seriously, what are you doing here? It seems like Android is not for everybody, at least it's not for you... You are doing something really wrong to have that battery drain, or your device is defective.

Hey guys,
I know the battery threads are getting tiring, and I apologize for starting another. I'm having a strange issue, though. I'm getting great screen on time (when using the device) - much, much better than my Galaxy Nexus that would fall 1% per minute used. However, my idle/deep sleep time isn't really that great and is causing me to see a pretty massive battery drain. My apps are about 80% of my power consumption...with hardly any being from the screen. That's super strange to me.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll see my Kernel is accounting for 30% of my battery loss. I have no idea how to pin down what's causing it. This screenshot was taken after 2.5 hours with only 23 minutes of screen on time..and I was already down to 78%.

Here are some more screenshots for good measure. I'm trying to pinpoint exactly where my stuff is coming from... I haven't done anything to do the phone besides disable Amazon stuff and Google Movies/Books. Facebook is never syncing, Twitter is every 4 hours...and that's about it besides the usual gmail and stuff.
If you look at my one screenshot from BetterBatteryStats, you'll see that "msm_hsic_host" is the main culprit of kernel wakelocks. I googled it and it brought me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34303488
It seems as if a lot of Nexus 4/Optimus G users are experiencing the same wakelock issues related to that process. No one can seem to figure out what the hell is causing it though.
Same here. I'd love to know...

Can anyone with a well performing DNA comment on what percent of the battery their kernel is using? I'm at an average of 30%, followed closely by the Android System at 15%. Burning through about 10% of total battery per hour while idle. All seems way too high.

I'm seeing roughly the same thing. 22.4% kernel, and 18.9% for android system. Seems very high to me, I hope HTC pushes an update to fix this. Hopefully someone can figure out what is running that is causing this.

Related to the high usage, I have over 2800 wakelocks related to the dialer. Does that seem odd to anyone?

Dialer is continuing to climb in wakelocks, it's over 3000 now. This is really confusing me as to why it is so high.
Has anyone figured out why this is happening? I have been having a kernel issue as well with mine reaching over 60-70% which is killing my battery!

Do you have SetCPU? You could try undervolting it and see if that helps.
I'm not rooted. :-\
i think your over reacting a little bit... I was getting over 32 hours on the stock kernel and it was 18% kernel and 15% system... the problem I had with stock was the VZW Bull$*t that randomly was waking my device to check for sync of stuff I dont use... but with new cubed kernel its down to about 2%

How am I overreacting at all? That is abnormally high usage which is causing a drain.
Mine is also usually around 21-26%, and the Android OS is right behind it at around 19-21%
Am really interested in finding what is causing this, because with 3.5hrs of screentime accounting for less than 12%, cutting this down to an acceptable level alone would make the battery life more than acceptable.

Can you guys let me know if all four processor cores are online all the time.you can use SystemTurner or TricksterMod or some similar cpu control app to find out. Some people on the stock kernel are reporting that all four cores are always online sucking down the battery.
Also let me know if you've ever used a custom kernel on this phone.
hey guys, so some of you look familiar from the Rezound forums, good to see ya! I finally got a DNA and gave my rezound to my older brother for xmas, and much like last year, i've noticed a couple of bugs. the good thing is, though, that i was in touch with HTC tech support last year, where i actually spoke to them over the phone a few times over some bugs we had with the rezound. after noticing a few, i decided to open my old claim and talk with the same rep who i dealt with last year, as he was very knowledgeable and a great guy overall!
so a few bugs i've noticed so far:
1.) the audio/video delay lag, where in every video player, including youtube, audio lags behind video (thanks milan, i forgot which one it was lol)
2.) the home button lag much like the s3 with s-voice enabled
3.) not much of a bug, but for some stupid reason HTC enabled "auto enhance" on the camera by default! you can't turn it off. this was something big wtih the rezound that the number one thing we urged users who asked how to get good pics was to turn auto enhance off. it really softens the image and makes it look bad in low light, IMO. also, they made auto focus on by default and you can't switch it. i reported this, and he confirmed that it's just part of the software, but they do value our feedback, and i know for a fact this guy does, as the bug with audio recording on the rezound WAS fixed when 4.0 was OTA'd to it.
so i brought both of these up with them, and they're looking into it, which is great. anyone have any bugs they notice? i keep forgetting the little ones when it's time to write a reply to HTC, so it would be good to get them in here.
HTC def. does listen to us, guys.
either way, i LOVE this phone. so snappy, and has an amazing screen and form factor to it! the camera is great, but you just have to play around with the options to get a great pic. the audio sounds great with the beats as well. i've yet to get a wireless charger, but i think i'm going to start looking around for it.
great to be a part of the new community, guys!

That looks like you could have a rogue app or something. I've never seen mine above 25. And its at 11 right now.

The worst part is since I'm not rooted, I would have to go through and figure it out by uninstalling them or disabling them one by one. I don't see how I have a rogue app.
I can't even figure out where to start looking. Ughhhh.
Really to be honest at close to 5 hrs screen on time I will get 12 hours total. Is your phone 100% stock or do you have any maybe non kosher pirated apps going on that might not show up in that app. Kernel is still software related and I'm not understanding why yours is so out if wack with everybody else. You have complained about this in several threads now.
