[Q] Software or hardware issue? - Nokia Lumia 920

Battery says its about on 6% juice and the phones turn off (first of all that should not be hapening). However bigger problem is that after it turns off, i turn it again and battery jumps to ~32 procentage. So pretty much I have to do it every time. WTF is that ? I heared a lot of users have this problem. so hardware or software issue ?

also battery gets stuck on 100% after charge. maybe gdr3 will fix it ?

Battery was ok for few days, but this night after charge battery overnight went from 100% to 77% (in about 7 hours) in stand by mode. Obviously thats not right so I did a restart and battery back up to 100%. Seriously wtf is that?

Every time after a charge I have to restart a phone to have a good battery life. How to fix it ?

is possible firmware release in your phone have bug... same model of Lumia dont have same firmwares... almost every operator or region release have different firmware...
also for battery saving use these tips:
turn off unnecessary background tasks (in settings - applications - background tasks)
limit number of Live tiles on start screen which uses internet
use simple picture for lock screen (dont use live lock screens)
dont use battery status applications (uninstall it completely)
dont use or limit some option for Glance screen
turn off or increase mail checking time

Are you running WAZE during your phone charging?
WAZE will drain battery so fast that isn't possible to charge simultaneously.
If in charge mode WAZE can damage your battery.

So probably nothing I can do, just wait for new firmware if thats a problem I guess.

[TIPS - UPDATED 14/06/11!] Improve your battery life!

Turn off 3G, turn on only when needed
Settings -> Location -> Untick ''Wireless Networks and GPS Satelites''
Settings ->Accounts -> Untick Background data (Unless you want to use market)
Settings -> Wirelless -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy -> Never
Use phone on 2G, unless using internet (then switch to 3G mode)
Data traffic always OFF (Use only when needed)
Backlight low or Auto Brightness (And allow light to decrease)
Turn off wireless, basically everything turned off with the power control widget, turn on when necessary
Install task manager and set auto-kill mode to crazy on switch off screen mode (Put apps that always run in ignore list e.g. Launcher, Messaging. Basically the necessities)
Install SetCPU (After rooting your phone) - Min CPU 122mhz, Max CPU ~700mhz - 'On demand' profile
SetCpu - Profiles -> Screen Off -> Min 122mhz, Max 122mhz, Performance mode
Upgrade to Froyo 2.2 - Enable JIT (Saves battery on 2.2+)
Switch to a Cyanogenmod Rom
Enable undervolting (Only for CyanogenMOD roms)
Use RenderFX widget (CyanogenMOD, best to use low red, best to use when you are heading out)
Cyanogenmod - Spare Parts -> End Button Behaviour -> Go to sleep
LAST, but NOT LEAST, if you notice no significant increase in battery life, then your battery is no calibrated right! So go to market, download 'Battery Calibration', and charge your phone to 100%. Next, if its abbout 4000v - 4200v, your phone is correctly calibrated!
If its not 4000 -4200, press the ''calibrate'' button, and let your phone die out, then fully charge it (while its still powered off). Wait till light is green, TURN ON.
After boot, battery will not be 100% yet, reboot once more, charge to 100% (while phone is on), and check your new calibrated battery! It should now be 4000 to 4200v
I know there might be programs and applications to increase your battery life, but I dont have any experience with these, so feel free to post your experiences! Some examples may include juicedefender, etc
Anyone wants to add to this list, feel free =)

I don't know what goes wrong, but mine losts for only one day. If i have charged it overnight the battery is empty the next evening
No task managers. The phone manages its RAM well and the battery will last longer. For normal uses upto 1.5 days and for heavy users 1 day.

and here I heard installing juicedefender does more damage than good too.. what to believe? Everything is based on peoples hearsay and no evidence..
On my girl friends X10 mini I changed from ADW launcher to Helixlauncher and changed the brightness to auto. That made a HUGE difference.
Was on vacation and turned off 3G because I was not gonna use any expenisve data. That alone boosted my batterylife about 1 days worth.

people can do much to boost battery time, like turn off 3g, brightness control, turn off gps and so on, that all helps the battery
I have switched of almost everything and still get about 1 day of battery with about 2-3Hrs of music and a few calls and videos.
is it ok?
I get over 48 hours and I use the wifi a lot and do about 30mins of calls a day.
My tips:
* turn background data off and manually update ur emails when u want - this is the best tip I put it on my blog too
* manually enable network data when u need it
* use the top button to go on standby as soon as you are done using the phone
* keep gps, 3g and wifi off unless u want to use it
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I have background data off.
No emailing whatsoever till now....
Almost 75% of the time in standby
Gps 3G wifi bluetooth are off.
Yet with stock launcer i get 24Hrs
Helix 30Hrs..
Why?
Its been two weeks(or 3) since i bought the phone...
Please reply.
BTW when did you buy the phone?
^^Ok.
I have come to know the problem.
Running any apps in background like Battery Indicator or task manager brings down the battery so much(the latter not much though)..
Because daily i used to get the above with battery indicator pro on.
But after uninstalling it i got about double that battery life..
So people better don't run them all the time.
task manager can be used sometimes about once every 2 hrs o so.
This increased my battery life so much on stock launcher
Just got the pro today. Will be ditching my X2 depending on the performance of this one after a week. So far, I love the mini pro for the fact that I can now hear my incoming messages and calls!
A couple of questions though:
1) Is there a way to wake up the screen when an SMS arrives?
2) Custom ringtone per contact?
3) Is there a way to disable screen lock when the phone goes to sleep by itself (not pressing the power button) ?
4) Is there a way to unlock the screen without the need to press the left button, I was hoping to go directly to the pattern unlock after i turn on the phone
Still getting used to the keyboard lay-out as I've been using X2 for almost 6 months.

I use Chomp SMS app and this allows the screen to wake-up, I think Handcent SMS does too. I never used the stock SMS app so not sure if there is a way to do it with that.

Not sure if this answers your question, I just press the Menu button twice to unlock the phone, never used the power button to wake it up funnily enough, only used the power button go in to sleep mode. When I press Menu button it wakes up to the pattern unlock.

Nice, i'll try to look for those apps. I did try the menu button and it worked. At least this relieves stress on the power button since I won't be using it to wake-up the phone anymore.
How's about not locking the phone when it goes to sleep? Unless I press the power button?
After a day with it, battery is now @ 30%+. Hope it improves or SE comes out with a high capacity.
Hi, where is the disable 3G button?
I can't seem to find it. I found wifi on and off.
and I unchecked location with gps.
thanks
Helix launcher is the best thing I installed to my mini pro. Batt life is now 3-4 days regular use and 5 days if i don't play games. Games are draining the batt quickly.
I'm totally getting rid of my X2.
3 to 4 days? Lol how can that be possible.. Did you use 3g?

I can prove it, there's a display in the phone where it says # of hours unplugged. If it's not working for you, doesn't mean it shouldn't for others as well. If you barely make 2 days, then that's what we should be LOLing about.
My setting is as follows:
- 2g only
- 1 to 2 hours of wifi and bluetooth per day
- 1 to 2 hours of games (love the games) per day
- tried GPS for 1 hour using mapdroyd
- a couple of calls and text messages per day
- tried watching a movie (AVI) for an hour using yxflash
- tried the media, played MP3s for an hour
- tried meebo for an hour
- I got my alarms ON always
- notifications ON always
- custom led lights for new SMS (using ringo pro) always
- max volume for the entire day
- medium volume at night
- data connection off
- background data off
- screen brightness to zero but the sensor is still working (weird), the screens still adjusts to the surrounding
This is after installing helix. Before helix, I got a max of 1 and a half days only.

Battery Performance

Hi Guys,
I am using xperia sola from last twenty days.....:good: but the battery performance is very bad:crying: when i checked my battery usage, analysis came out that more than 50% of battery is getting used by display....so to cut down that i have started using picture wallpaper instead of live wallpaper but to my surprise i came to know that Live wallpaper is running in the background which is still consuming my battery.
Battery is lasting for less than 24 hours.
help me to resolve particular issue.

either the apps running behind the background or the 3G
is the no.1 battery killer
use advanced task killer to kill task or disable those autorun apps

Task killer won't help, those tasks will come back and make it even worst for the juice they use for initation.
Disable data, or use 2G only (turn 3G back on when you really nead it). Or you can search in this forum the way to do it automatically .
For the live wallpaper issue, just uninstall it
Bright
You should try reducing the bright, Hight bright eats all the phone battery...

just choose a static background, reduse screen brightness and usage. Today's smartphones need juice. Consider buying a spare battery

Screen brightness is going to be your number one killer. Also, if you're using WiFi/3G/4G all day long that will kill your battery too. Finally, if you're playing games that use a bunch of graphics that utilize your phone's hardware (openGL, unreal engine, etc.) it will drain your battery pretty fast.
I have seen an article somewhere saying that live wallpapers don't actually consume as much battery as people make them out to be, and i found this to be true, i got 5 days out of my Optimus 2X (no sim card inside) and it had a live wallpaper, what consumes the most battery is the screen itself (reduce brightness to get better battery life while using the phone) and data on 3G (i always turn off data when i don't use it) and i normaly get 2 days out of my Optimus 2X (1 day of heavy usage).
Thank you for the info whoever provided here.

Try or start with this app above and hunt for apps that syncing/updating in the background and basically you need to make a dumb phone out of your smartphone. Disable all autosyncs/notifications in the setting and apps like Facebook disable notifications. Open up Google play>settings and uncheck all default checked settings. Disable gmail/email notifications. Disable auto backup/restore. Disable all location services/vibrations/sounds when typing/wifi or GPS or BT when not in use. Disable data or stick with 2g in standby mode. Find a custom ROM that usually will be much better with battery management.
That's in a nutshell of how I can basically keep my phone draining 1% per hour on standby mode.

A suggession try an app called juice defender
Free available n the paid one is awesome... I am not saying saying will get 100% increase but 30~40% INCREASE is observed by me and well something is better than nothing... M using the paid version bt the free one is equally good.. Oh yeah one thing.. Download.. Thn customise.. N forget it because its fully automatic...
Hit thanks if u like my research

I highly recommend GO Power Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.gopowermaster
It lets you customize power profiles and set "sleep" cycles so that it uses minimal power when you're not using it anyway (I set mine to just be phone/text from 11pm until 7am).
It also has a "smart kill" button on the widget (which you don't have to use) that will prolong battery life by killing apps that are doing nothing. I know there's a lot of argument about app/task killers out there, but it's always worked well for me.
Adjust screen brightness to 0 (dim)
use dark wallpaper
disable gps, bluetooth , wifi when not in use and also air plane mode during night time
and also clear running apps with task manager:good:
Also you could try GSam Battery Monitor Pro, it will show you which process are using %'s of power
Try this one

Android smartphones are last for less than 24 hours of heavy use.
Solution: root the phone, remove bloatware and install custom kernel and custom ROM that fits your phone for better performance.

First, excuse me for my bad english. I'll try to said something and I expect would not to be an offense to you . . . It would to be easy to turn of the phone . . . no?
Of course I have to do something of this things, but If it's necessary to do all of them . . . it would be better to don't have a smartphone . . .

Juice Defender functions only if you have you phone a lot of time inactive . . . It functions turning of your conections in inactivity period and olnly turns it on in few intervals depending of your profile . . . It's very good, but if you want your cell phone conected every time . . . this is not a solution . . .

You are using stock firmware or custom?

Improving battery performance....

If you face problem with battery.. draining like hell..
then these tips are for you....
1. Battery Calibration
2. Control Apps
3. Device Setting
1. Battery Calibration
Don't use any application..
Just charge your battery till 100%.. Restart your phone
without remove charger..Important
after restart (battery show 60 to 98%. leave it on charge again till 100% + 2 hrs. more
Then remove from charger & use phone until battery drain to 0% and switch-off itself
Don't recharge between 100 to 0%.. then try to restart at least 3 time.. to sure drain battery completely
now connect your phone to charger.. after 10 minutes start your phone.
but don't remove your charger till battery goes 100%...Important
(sometime it take more than 4-5 hrs. so better in night) When battery goes 100% ...now you done Calibration..
Technically..
on every restart Android reset Battery (by wipe battery status)
So.. on 100% Android make Maximum level - on 0% minimum level
P.S. Do this calibration on every ROM flash or at-least one time a month..
2. Control Apps
Some Application consume battery do much..
i.e. Facebook, Youtube, Maps, Whatsapp, Viber, Yahoo! Mail / Messenger, Skype, Hotmail.com, etc.
so when you don't use these apps (running in background) kill them .
Better use Browser Bookmark instead applications
i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo Messenger, Outlook,
It help to save your RAM also..
3. Device Setting
lowest brightness..
lowest screen timeout
Close WiFi if no need
Close Data Conn. if no need.
Close Bluetooth if no need.
Close GPS if no need.
try to use dark backgrounds..
Try these tips then tell me how your battery work

Just one comment on your procudure.
The text as you wrote:

Io-li batteries cannot be fully discharged. POwering up mobile at 0% (withou charger pluged in) just to exaust battery can lead to a permanent battery damage or shortage in its life.
The rest of the procudure may help (or not),

Any way to turn off data when screen is off? Battery saving tips?

Hi Guys,
battery life is super important for me because i am all day outside. I had an asus zenfone 3 zoom before (5000mah battery, total beast with 7-10 hours SOT). The asus had a battery saving mode that would "turn off data after screen goes off".
This mode was perfect for me, because the phone was working normal when i use it, and when it lock it, it drains almost zero battery, no background activity (its like being in airplane mode). I wonder if there is any way to do the same with the Mate 10? Any workarounds or suggestions?
With the mate 10 i notice that there is a lot of battery drain when the screen is off. If i go to sleep i will lose 15% the next morning.
I dont like the normal battery saving mode of the mate 10 because it makes the phone slower when im using it, and whatsapp messages/emails dont come through unless i open the app manually, which is annoying. So its not a solution i can use all day.
Any other tips are welcome.
My Mate 8 had this under in the power management tab in the phone manager app. My Mate 10 arrived today, I'll inbox it later and check. 15% drain is excessive, most are reporting 0 to 1% drain.
Ok let me know
Sorry for the late reply, got too carried away testing my new phone
Go to the Phone Manager App, click on the battery symbol in the left bottom corner, then click on the settings icon. The settings icon is in the top right hand corner. There you will see the options to disable mobile data and wifi during sleep.
Install "Brevent" from playstore and set it up using ADB (if you r not rooted)
Will help to boost your batt throughout the day

s9 plus battery life trick

I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

Go to battery usage, open green android system icon and uncheck "allow background activity" switch

Thats right, but keep in mind that this setting will be reverted to enabled on each reboot of the phone.

With the latest update (BRE), there's no need to disable Android System background activity, because is not draining battery anymore.
I did many tests every update, and only BRE fixed the drain from it. Still, it seems that disabling the option is working for some people, is about trying.

Yeah i can confirm that, with the latest BRE update it doesnt matter if you turn background usage for android system on or off.
great
cool sharing
Where to find Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).

It says something like "Keep network data on even if wifi is on" but you should disable that option.
Oh, that one , it's already turned off for a long time, battery life still sucks
How can you guys live without 5G WiFi?
I did a reset of the phone and installed without restoring a backup of apps.
At least standby time increased drastically.
I still must check the SOT, see if that one increase too
Cool! I'll give it a shot!
Does running on 2.4Ghz really improve the battery life?

Hey, (Γεια σου μεγαλε!)
Ι also have a s9+ unlocked.
I'm on the november security patch and battery life is pretty mediocre.
I get high standby battery drain, probably form android system.
I have never achieved sot of more than 5 hours and 10 minutes maybe!
Can you share your experience with this update?
Have you tried this trick on the latest security patch?
