Hello,
I own a Jiayu G4 Advanced for about a week now and I have been having these weird battery drops. Whenever it reaches about 40%, it drains to about 10% in just minutes. Anyone else experiencing this or know a solution? I already tried battery callibration, newer version of the ROM and even a factory reset without result...

You can install some battery saving apps such as Du Battery Saver, Battery Doctor, Juice Defender etc. It may help you to stop the drain of your battery.
Hit THANKS If It Helped You
I don't think that will help, since my battery is not draining fast in general, but only when I reach about 40%. So something must be using a lot of the battery but I don't know what.
Old Problem
Its an old prblm with android. Android is power hungry. I think theres a prblm in your battery.
Same Problem.
Hey, i got a Jiayu G4 Advanced, also having the Problem you described.
For me this happens when the battery reaches 30%. After that it'll go down to 15% in minutes, and from there on it becomes normal again.
It's not caused by powerhungry apps, because when it's over 30%/under 15% it drains normally.
I already used a battery calibration app and also fully discharged the battery - both didn't fix it.
I assume that it's software relate, maybe a bug in the ROM? I'm too lazy to try other roms right now, maybe i'm going to give those MIUI roms a shot later this week.
Just to say that I have exactly the same problem with my recently bought Jiayu G4T. The battery usually takes somewhere from half a day to 1 day to drop 20%. However, between 30 and 40% it starts dropping with a speed that's even greater than playing a game while using all 4 cores for some other power hungry tasks. From 35 to 15%, which is 20%, it drops in like half an hour (and not half a day or 1 day). And then, from 15% to 0%, it again takes something like half a day.
Battery drain...need help
hi,
I have the G4, advanced, 2GB, 3000mAH model. I have the same issue...when the battery reaches 30% it immediately drops to 15% within a mater of seconds. I hope some of the experienced members from the forum help out in fixing this.
Regards,
Sid
Bump
I too can confirm this issue, jiayu g4 advanced 3000mAh version
Its rom issue mates.... change the rom! !! Look at needrom.com for cuztom onds

Same issue here. JG4 advanced (or turbo, whatever) 3000 mah. Very fast drain from 40% to 15%. Pretty sure that's a software issue!
Someone there can help us?
If you are rooted then you can do a battery calibration:

As already said, calibration does NOT help. IMO it's seriously the ROM's fault,here's why.
JIAYU has 2 memory versions : 1/4 and 2/32. (RAM/ROM) , and most ROMs are prepared either for 1/4 (1850 mAh) or 2/32 (3000mAh) .
You probably have 1/4 3000 mAh version, and to make battery work find specific ROM.
Hey,
Now i start to think diffrently. Maybe it's hardware issue.
There are 2 types of battery: li-pol and li-ion. Please post what your battery is if you having this drain issue.
Compare to photos in attachment.
I'm having this issue and have li-pol battery.

Hello
I've been having some battery problems with my sgs2. I've bought it in june of 2011, it is my first smartphone and I was immediately pleased with it. great phone, everything working properly. since it was my first phone I was a light user and the battery could last me 2 days, sometimes it even got to last 3 days. However, at the beginning of the year I felt a sudden drop in battery performance, coming to last only 12-15 hours with light use. by this time I became more of a medium-heavy user and under "normal" use the phone would be dead at 10 hours, maximum.
I bought a new battery, official samsung 2000 mAh, and the performance became slightly better. It would at least last a day of work, but the performance was never as good as the original 1650 mAh battery when I first bought the phone.
by this time I began experimenting with ROMs, ressurection remix, miui, and now pfittech. but as time passes the performance is always dropping and today something strange happened. I locked my phone at 17% of battery, and after a while I checked it and the battery was at 18%. I checked again and is now at 19%. Right now it's 21%. What the hell?
can anyone help me? any help would be much appreciated.
p.s. i've tried calibrating the battery and I've read in the forums that on JB it's not necessary because the phone now clears battery stats when they reach 100%. I've also changed the stats with extweaks to absolutely no effect. I've been reading many topics on this but nothing quite seems to fit my situation.
mate u have to reset gauge in extweak then kill ur battery and pull off for 5 min then charge that should do

I was really suffering from massive battery drain....see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933012
ive now found out that i am having a very wierd problem...My rom is showing some 30% battery while 4ext shows 50%......Sometimes it is exactly the opposite....Once i discharged my phone to 2% (rom reading) and when i saw in recovery it says 17%....
I have completed many many cycles of battery from charging to full....and discharge to 0.....Also i used the battery callibration app SEVERAL times!!!!........But nothing seems to work...
Can somebody help...Please
I am really suffering from massive battery drain http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933012 :crying:
Did you try to delete battery stats? Or use an app to improve battery life?
I have the same issue too when booting into recovery. I don't worry about it. I suggest the same as Ramjet in your other thread.

I had this issue with my old battery and old charger,
Now I dont use my phone while charging , I charge other batteries with the wall charger while using other ones and everything is fine now.... battery % seems to be same in both android and recovery.
I have that same issue too. Lol maybe the recovery can't read the battery correctly. It'll show up higher in recovery and then when I reboot, it will read the same way like in recovery. Tried numerous batteries with the same result. Although I havnt tried battery calibrating. Ill give that a shot.
Is there any solution ??
Try klect's solution and go into recovery, wipe battery stats. Then let your battery drain and die. Then charge your battery back to 100% with no interuptions like pulling your phone off the charger too soon. When you wipe your batt stats you are getting ready to recaliberate your battery. After you let it charge to 100 percent. Let it drain to 0 a couple times to recondition your battery.
You do know that the evo 3D gives around 3 hrs of screen time dont you? even on stock rom on normal usage. If you have the wifi on all the times you'll get around 2:30 maybe 3 on a full charge.
Your battery certainly is draining faster than usual but have you tried keeping it idle and seeing what kind of drain you get? From that screenshot in the other thread it seems like your phone is getting some heavy wifi browsing or something (and do check if facebook or email apps are the culprit. Having push email on drains a lot)
And the recovery/rom reading wrong stats happens all the time. just recalibrate your battery like these good folks here have already suggested
Yes i keep wifi on all the time...
But once i kept my locked for abot 3 hours after full charge...when i unlocked it showed 99%...i was happy and i didn't do anything just surfing my screens it dropped very very fast to some 70 % !!!!
Also please hit our thank you buttons please. Even if you didn't get the exact answers you wanted. It's appreciated for helping one another.
you really should check your apps battery usage using one of the apps ramjet73 told you about
ramjet73 said:
There are a bunch of tips here.
Usually that kind of drain is caused by an app. Try running a stock ROM for a day or two and see if the issues go away. Or use one of the battery monitoring apps (BetterBatteryStats, SystemPanel Standard, Battery Monitor Widget) to determine which app is causing your drain.
It may take some work on your part to isolate the problem since there is no global solution to battery problems.

top culprits are mostly facebook,email exchange,google maps and pretty much anything that syncs alot
Also try using you phone on min brightness auto brightness is also a battery killer
I cant beleive no one asked you this but which kernel are you using? And is it overclocked?
I am on mwakious 13.1 default...no changes to it
Hello! I bought this phone last month. Since I got it, I've never experienced any problem with it. For four days, I noticed that the battery drains very quickly, without any logical explanation for this. The data connection is turned off, Wi-Fi is turned off. Last evening, I charge it to 100%. This morning,I found it turned off, with 0% battery. What solutions do you have to solve this problem? Have you encountered this problem?

Can you please provide some more details on this?
I.E. What is it plugged into to charge? Laptop, Desktop, AC, etc etc.
- I ask this because I had a phone that would actually consume more power than a USB port could put out. when turning off the laptop, it actually allowed a back drain for some reason, and the next morning the device was dead. (Not this phone)
Also, what applications are running? Any?
Finally, you can try to retrain your battery... Wiping stats does not work, ever. So despite what anyone tells you, don't do it. You're just wasting time. SOURCE
So, how do you retrain your battery? Let it die completely. Then plug it in to charge. Don't use it while it's charging if you can help it. DO NOT remove it from the charger until it's at 100%. Once this is done, use it til it dies on it's own. Then yet again, charge it fully and then go back to your normal use.
In some cases, these batteries can go bad, for various reasons. A quick test, but is not always trustworthy is to spin your battery on either side. If it makes more than 2 full rotations, it's swelling and going out. Replace it.
The best alternative is to take it to a battery shop, and let them put it on a Cadex machine. (Pronounced Kay-Dex) ... This machine will charge and discharge the battery several times over a few hours and truly test the current life -vs- the life it should be. Anything rated less than 80% remaining life should be replaced.
SOURCE: I work here
I charge it only from power outlet, with stock charger.

6 hours 40 minutes from 100% to 10%, and the phone in stand by! Cell standby - 45%, Phone idle - 48%, Screen - 7%
And all this after a hard reset and retrain battery! The battery is almost new (aprox 1 month)!
I want it to make a screen shot of battery drain, but I have no clue how to do that on LG L9...

I attached a screenshot. Yesterday I changed the battery. Same problem! I take it this screenshot this morning, after I fully charged the phone ... Same problem, a new battery.
Can you please tell us what applications you have running in the background?
Also deactivate google now.(or the google services in google maps). download and install GSam Battery Monitor and after a cycle tell us what applications are eating your battery the most. It's clear that you either use yout phone(screen on time) allot or there is/are some applications that prevent your phone from going to sleep.
I use battery widget reborn and it shows me wneh the phone woke up,when the phone had the screen on,wi-fi on,gps on. Try it as well.
I also had battery issues when on JB. I downgraded back to ics. It's much more reliable when it comes to battery life. And the performance is about the same.
I don't have any app installed. After i replace the battery, i made a hard reset and I did not installed any app. I will install cpuspy and betterbatterystats for more results. I will back tomorrow. Until than, maybe you can provide me more advices. It can be from a damage sim card?

I guess your signal quality isn't good enough because cell standby is eating up more than 40% of battery. Cell standby in my phone is only around 5%..

I removed the sim card, but in flight mode is the same problem... The last solution is to change the rom with a custom one. Any recomandation?
It's not that. Not the signal. It's the firmware. JB has these problems. In ICS Display is the major consumer followed by Phone Idle and Cell Standby.
I also had these problems in JB and reverted back to ICS .
I would advise you to install CM 10.1 on the phone. The battery life is better than stock. I get around 12-16 hours normally. The latest RC4 has fixed almost all the bugs present in older CM 10.1 variations. Give it a try.
I will root the phone and I will give a try with CM 10.1 or I revert to 4.0.4. If all this will be for nothing, I will sell the phone!

On ICS you will get great battery life Telling from my experience as i have reverted back to ICS after trying JB and CM 10.1( both have very poor battery life ) . So instead of wasting time just flash ICS and forget about battery issue :good:
Where can I find a tutorial to revert to ICS?
Same question. Can some one please give a step by step guide on how to revert to ics for l9
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Use the offline flash..
I also reverted to ICS and the battery drain keeps like a countdown
I have the p769, and I offline flashed up to V20D (and rooted). Removed some tmobile bloat, and I have pretty decent battery life. I guess I'm lucky.

Hey all,
I have an issue with my Xperia Go. When fully charged it says the estimated standby time is 6 hours... Switching on "Stamina mode" says the same thing, 6 hours : (
It usually lasts much more than 6 hours... more like 24 hours of standby (not great, but much better than 6!).
Here's my current set up and what I've done so far:
- With a brand new Xperia Go, installed ExtremeSecurity Rom, done a full wipe, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik.
- Charged fully to 100%, wiped battery stats, allowed to drain with normal use (mostly standby, not in stamina mode), then fully charged again.
I'm using the supplied, official charger for this and checking battery usage there's nothing unexpected going on (Screen 35%, Android OS 16%, Media Server 16%...) The only non-standard non-system app using power is BeyondPod which isn't downloading, just playing from time to time and it's at 12%.)
I'm really confused and don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I guess you did not read the op properly. That thread you mentioned is about battery drain, and that's not the issue here. The battery usage is fine. The problem is the standby estimate.
I´m having the same problem. My Xperia P usually goes a day and a half to use the whole battery with medium/low usage, but my estimate is usually around 9 or 10 hours. I have not tried to delete the battery stats yet, but my phone is charging right now and once it reaches 100% i'll do it and post the results.
Anyway, since it doesn't affect battery life, it's not a major problem

Yeah it's the same with my xgo too, but i think that it's a wrong estimate time... a kind of bug that like u sais doesn't affect the battery life

Hmm, so it's probably not the ES ROM. Plus nobody else is reporting this over in the ExtremeSecurity thread (I can't post there yet, less than 10 posts).
I know this issue is (probably) just about the estimate, not the actual battery life, but I can't help but wonder if this affects the actual life too. My phone seems to charge very quickly, like from 0% to 100% in an hour - 90 minutes (is that normal?), and the real standby time is OK, but less than I expected. Without an accurate estimate, it's hard to know what to expect from it!

I believe it doesn't affect battery life at all, because i´m having about the same battery life as when i had ICS, and then there wasn't even an estimate.
The charge time sounds right. My Xperia P usually charges in that time.
Hi xda! So I've been having a problem for a couple of months with my SGSII and i have searched a lot but i haven't found a solution yet.
The problem is that battery behaves normally and has a normal drain rate, but when it reaches 40% more or less it drains massively and drops to 10 % (more or less, could be 11% or 9%. It is not something precise and accurate) and screen immediately starts to flicker, backlight as well, then the signal is lost and phone shuts down. After that i can not turn it on unless i charge it.
I have looked a lot and pretty much all of the forums recommended to buy a new battery. I bought another battery (original) and the problem still continued. I've also tried swapping batteries with a friend, but the problem still happened to me and not to him. Also I have tried a lot of Roms, I've tried going back to stock as well, but still nothing.
Currently I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC2 because it gives me the best battery life in those 60%.
I leave you an attachment of a screenshot. As you can see battery percent dropped a lot at the end, and i wasn't using it heavily.
Thank you in advance.
It is a hardware issue, I had the same problem (battery would drain below 10% though), sent it to Samsung, Motherboard and Charge Socket got replaced, I don't know which one was causing it because I had other issues like broken home button too.

May be there would be some hardware related problem. But why dont you give a try to to a wakelock detector app like betterbattery stats or wakelock detector? Atleast you will know which app is eating your battery or is it a hardware related problem.

I have tried a lot of battery related apps. BBS is one if them. I haven't seen anything unsual. In fact I've also tried apps like greenify. However battery life in the first 60% of battery is actually good. After 40% comes the problem.
