I brought Micromax Canvas HD A116 by last august. The phone is not rooted. For first few month it was ok it gave atleast like 8-9 hrs of battery backup...but recently it has been causing lots of issues..it gets sudden drop in battery like from 70% to 20 or 30% then rapidly goes down to 10% holds for couple of hours and then dies out.
I am normal user(less phone calls, average internet usage, average gaming) and it suprises me when I am not using also battery drops like this and it lasts for 6-8 hrs backup only. I don't use heavy games because of this. If I don't do anything then the backup will be upto 9 hrs but it certainly defeats my purpose of having a mobile if I am not even going to use it for phone calls:crying: I also use less number of apps only and they are not power hungry apps...just normal apps.
And also one weird thing I noticed is that whenever I charge it will charge upto 60% and after 1 or 2 minutes it will steeply rise to 100% which is like battery is doing some magic....you can check screenshots I have shared.
And the next weird thin I noticed is that my "phone idle" and "cell standby" percent are always high like beyond 45% always....I donno why... I have compared the reception and also other friends phones where they have only like both stats are around 5-10% only.
Now I really donno what to do with this situation.
Should I go for new OEM battery? Can any one suggest where I can find one online or offline(I am in chennai)?
Should I root my phone? Will it solve my problem?
Should I reset my phone? Can some one suggest best backup and reset solution if you are suggesting this...
Or should go for some other Phone itself(I have moto E in my mind, cuz within one year I don't wish to go for high budget... Now I feel is a bad option for me to have chosen this mobile)
I appreciate any help any one can provide me for this issues....Am REALLY REALLY grateful to you....thanks in advance resolvers.
Edit:
And my OS is Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Do I need to update my OS to sort out my situation? Will it help? If so can some one let me know how to install KitKat for MMX Canvas HD A116?

Basically mate, Micromax a116 is the worst smartphone in my dictionary. My battery drops down out of thin air, bluetooth doesn't connect, wifi is history, fm is extinct, etc, etc.. i just want to throw this piece of good for nothing in the water... (gosh i wish i could!).
anyways mate, the problem is with the battery that the OEM provided you with, buy another battery, your problem will be solved- for a few months-. I bet once 2 or three months are over the new batter is going to do the same drama. Buusha Micromax, and yea i almost forgot, my camera's flash died too.. R.I.P.
P.S. My canvas is just over 1 years and 1 months.
Try that !

I've had same problem and was lucky to solve !!
I always root my new phones and i recommend that you do the same because it gives you awesome privileges and tweaks !
Now coming to your problem. Some of your apps are using phone processor so dramatically or your battery files are corrupted. Root your phone if you can and try battery calibration (search battery calibrator in playstore for that) do the calibration switch your phone off then let it full charge. That's fine and will solve your problem as i guess. then after install "DS battery saver" (I've tried too many and this is longest running till now).
That's all check your battery performance again and if the same persists then change battery!
PS. Always full charge your battery then let it drain to 20% and then full charge (Battery life cycle that will enhance your battery life)

Dude. You may have a faulty piece. My whole family uses Canvas HD A116. We all have used it over 14 months. Till now no issue regarding anything. So just because you may have got a defective piece there is no need to defame Micromax. For all you know you spoilt it

Does the next update (2.1) somehow include a way to improve battery? I'm guessing no, wouldn't you need to replace the battery itself?
There may be battery performance improvements in the next update. My battery life is actually stellar. I set Timescape to update every 3 hrs and have brightness at about 75%. Off the charger at about 7am and at midnight that night I'm usually at around 40%. That's plenty good enough for me.

I dunno about the update and battery life but, Its 100% to 20% in 25-27 hours for me which i think is awesome as my usage is high.
Try setting the updates of your apps lower, check the Batt usage history from the settings menu to see what sucks the juice more.
If you want more battery life then you'll have to sacrifice some updates, which according to me ruins the entire purpose of having such a high-end smart Android device. Just use the phone the way you like it, have the charger with you always
Whatever phone you choose i think you are going to have this issue since batt usage depends solely upon the way you use your phone. In 2.1 live wallpapers suck more juice so you'll be advised to turn it off its either functionality or performance, the decision is yours
According to me any phone u buy will have same battery life or there is 70% Probability to have worst battery life. X10 has one the best battery life amongst all smartphones

Hmm... could it be just me? My battery went from 100% to 53% from just staying locked over night (around 9 hours). I checked what's been eating it and it said "Cell Standby" and "Display". My brightness is on the lowest possible and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is constantly off. I'll check that Timescape stuff and try to get the App Killer from the Market... (if my device even had a market!).
nah this device is ****ed up ...
sony homepage says that standby time is around 450 hours .... (more then 17 days!)
i dont have timescape on autoupdate - the only thing i do is gmail push and i get 1 and maybe 1/2 day(s) of standy time (depends if i make 1 call or not )
the update should increase it a lot i think
btw if some1 has a 2nd phone please try this:
charge it fully and then turn it off completely ... after 17 days turn it on ... my bet is it wont turn on coz the akku is totally empty...
I have no Wi-Fi at my hotel and I don't have a data plan. How on earth does it drain this much battery. I'm gonna go turn off every app and try another night just on standby.

Good question for you actually, how long have you had the phone? my first 4-5 charges were appauling but it quickly got better and now i could not be happier. more often than not getting 7am - 11pm the next day (whats that, 40 hours or so?) out of one charge, with plenty of go left.
Mine is running RB##26 firmware, rooted and a chunk of apps deleted though.
When i first got mine it was a bit poo, remember for the first 5 or so charges to let the battery go down pretty low and it will improve battery life.
Get runcpu and you're golden.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Sounds like you're running 014 firmware - I had the exact same problem until I updated to 020. The whole battery usage profile changed and one hour of standby only uses up 1-2%.
yeah, the 020 u/g makes a difference. I've rooted and overclocked mine, heavy usage on 3g can drain the battery in c12 hours but more than adequate for general usage
I'm a big user. Even with my G1, I was happy with a day's use. Anyone who thinks they're gonna get days of use without a charge is kidding themselves. A smart phone with a big screen us gonna suck juice regardless of what you do. As many an XDA user will tell you, keep your charger or at least the cable with you wherever you are. With FW026 it did help a little, but if you need life from your battery you really do need to sacrifice some of your widgets or updates.
MrZ
Today my battery have gone to 10% in about 10/11 hours, i'm using sip and wireless are active all day, even when it are on standby, installed some apps and played some games, some calls, its good enough, sometimes i get 2 days, depends on what you do, you can do some tricks...
My galaxy s2 has had battery issues the day i got it.I was getting around 6-7 hours then, thought it was some issue with firmware checked the battery usage and everything seemed fine expect for few times the android os seemed a little high , so i installed a custom rom , tried sensation and villianrom and a few others .Villianrom seemed to help battery a little but few days in and battery is again draining like fuel in a f1.So i decided its nothing about the firmware and all , maybe i have a bad phone or battery cause its draining like 1% every 2 -3 mins while browsing or doing anything as a matter of fact i get about 4-5 or at best 6.5 hours but thqts rare.I mostly use wi-fi so it definitely uses less battery than 3g . So now my question is ... As i have rooted my phone do i get
The warranty assets as my phone is like 4 months old.I know about unrooting but will that do the trick ?
And btw apart from battery issues , which seem like i have a unique case , my experience with the phone has been amazing this is definetely the best phone on market ;-)
Please respond....and also share your experiences with battery backup of s2 .....thankyou. cheers B-)
*i forgot to add that another thing that i have been noticing is the high battery usage by the display , it sometimes is as high as 80% even on low brightness to which i have found no cure...no matter what i try it lowers sometimes to about 30% or more and is back again to higher, this has furthered my doubt that i have a faulty piece. Pls comment.

I'd say 1% every 2-3 minutes sounds about right if you have screen fairly bright.
Did you do a back up before installing custom rom?
If so install original rom back, then I think you need a usb jig, which is available from ebay. This will reset your custom binary counter so the warranty peeps won't know you've flashed a custom rom at some time.
I'm quite new to this so hopefully someone else may reply and correct me if wrong.

Display uses the largest amount its relative all the figures say is that of the battery percentage used display has used xx amount . Could be battery used 5% of that 5% display used 50% as little else was used .

on regular use, my batt wear off in a day or a day and a half, but when my kid play a HD game, the battery drained in just 3 hours.
I've only tried 2 custom roms, miui and criskelorom, and I think using criskelorom combine with neak kernel is my best so far
I used the trick of battery calibaration by ram3n and battery seems to hold up a little better. Betterbatterystats was really helpful as well as battery monitor and cpu spy . But still i guess yhe phone will suffer on heavy usage or even medim .

My Samsung Galaxy S2 Battery drains heavily all of a sudden. I noticed that suspend backoff is consuming battery. It doesnt go into deep sleep either. Using ICS 4.03.I have attached Battery Stats dump file. Please advise.
Hello guys, I bought my s3 from t mobile Germany and so far i had only Problems with.
I had the Software Problem in wich instead of 3.4 mAh He consumed 34.
Solved with the help ffrom bala gamer thread.
I have miui Rom with syah Kernel. No widget whatsoever juice defender premium, brightness on lowest posible, wifi when posible...
I am so angry on my Device Because a friend of mine got the phone from Vodafone and He was with battery on 32%. was using the phone 3 days 12 hours and something about 5 hours of onscreen tine...
My Best was 3 hours on screen time and around 14 - 15 standby. I am Not a heavy User i just like to Chat alot so i am on messenger Facebook all time...
Is this normal? Maybe the whole stocklot from t mobile is somehow defekt Because I have another Friend that bought the Device From t mobile and He got He Same issue... Is is posible to be some Kind of Software Problem? I Checkd alot of roms and Kernels with almost the Same Result.
Thanks alot dudes

I am also a new S3 user (migrated from an Iphone), and have been plagued with the battery issue. However, I have come to realize that you can't have everything with charging twice a day. You need to turn off the GPS, and set the WIFI to go to turn off when the Phone is in standby. I have also turned on the Power Savings menu, but will do tests to see if that is really needed. So far 30% Discharge in 5 hours....
Here is a link to a guy listing all his settings ( http://www.samsunggalaxys3forum.com...ttings-worth-try-those-poor-battery-life.html ).... Experiment and make your own call. Unfortunately, you have to be very aware what you have turned on... or at least that has been my experience after the last few days...
Facebook is known to cause some battery drain. Anyway, you should install BetterBatteryStats (search the foruns, there's a huge topic about it). BBS will give you precious information about what is using your battery and how much it's using it.
Nevermind what I said... 4 hours today with "normal" usage and I am at 45%. The S3 is a battery hog compared to the Iphone.
I installed this morning bbs, ill post the prinț screen when i got my battery empty. An update i just bought a 4300 mili ampers battery and i still cant get the Stats from other members even with this.
I forgot to say GPS is off all the time aswell and wifi only when i need IT.

Hi everybody,
I just bought this smartphone some time ago. Ive been pretty satisfied with its overall perfomance, the screen quality, the stock android it runs. Coming from a 512mb RAM device i couldnt be more satisfied regarding this smartphone pros.
However, I simply cant stand this smartphones battery life. Its absolutely awful, dropping to 50% in 2 hours with moderate use(Chatting on FB messenger, browsing the internet, listening to music). Even if i use the smartphone lightly(only chatting), the battery still drops awfully fast. I dont consider it normal at all, because my other smartphone with 1400 mAh battey lasted MUCH better, dropping only to 70/75% battery if i used it the same way I use this phone.
Seems like no matter how lightly I use this smartphone, the battery keeps dropping like i never seen. Any help there? Ive bought this phone 5 days ago, could the battery still be "asleep"? Any suggestions?
Thank you in the advance.
What does battery manager say? In settings? It could be a wakelock or something.

under battery or power in settings then usage
and see what is using all your juice
So I have the Cell Standby eating 31%, the Wi-Fi eating another 31%, and finally the Phone Idle eating 26%. Screen comes far behind with a 7% usage. Is it normal ?
If I flash the stock ROM provided by Wiko, could the battery life increase ? I'm thinking on it , can it solve my problem ?
I got an LG G5 2 weeks ago and the battery has been outrageously bad. I bought it used and the owned has owned it for 2 to 3 months. There is very little standby drain and the phone is cold to the touch within minutes. Overnight drain is around 10 to 12 percent with always on display which is normal considering the 1 percent per hour loss plus the normal overnight drain. However when I turn the screen on the screen on time is very poor only about 2.5 hrs to 3 hours. The screen brightness is set 20 to 40 percent no auto brightness. There appears to be nothing draining the battery with the screen being the biggest battery draining. I have location nfc Bluetooth and LTE turned off. Along with touch sounds and touch vibration but toggling these settings makes no difference. Its impossible to find out more because I have no root. If this battery continues to be this poor I'm going to be selling it because I cannot stand having to charge twice a day even with quickcharge 3.0 old xiaomi redmi note 3 lasted 2 to 3 times longer on the battery. Any ideas what could be eating my battery?
Hi
I get 4 to 5 hours screen on time and I use my brightness at 75% to 100%, never as low as 20-40% it's too dark.
What apps do you use when you do have the screen on? Maps and games will drop you to 2-3 hours screen on time like all phones, but normal apps (excluding snapchat) will give you 4-5 SOT.
I would turn off always on display, you won't miss it.
Eeeeh , your Android system and android Os are high , screen should consumpt most of the battery about 30-40% mine does 34% with 35% brightness and Phone idle 22% my android system at 9% android Os 6% , if you dont game you get nearly 1 day life from your battery but if you do you need 2-3 timers charging per day , also if you use Data it just sucks the battery like vacum. So there is a drain in your system but its true lg g5 consumps a lot in order to give you performance in priority and not power saving. Dont forget G5s are the only high range phone that you can swip your battery with no deal , they are giving you that feature , Use it!!! You can grab up to 3600mah (2800 stock) extended capacity battery with a wall charger from ebay really cheap and never again have a battery problem. Also this batterys are lithium ones , i saw in your pic 10% i suggest not to go below 20% you are killing really fast lithium batterys if you decharge them!!!

Always on display barely drains any battery. I use apps such as facebook, text messaging, messenger, instagram, chrome, etc. I rarely play games because the second I open a game the battery life is only about 1.5 hours sot.
Well Facebook and messenger should be a couple of alarm bells when talking about battery life surely? Also, you bought it second hand, you have no idea how the previous owner treated the battery in the time they had it no matter how short a period it was.

Hello friends
I have a problem with battery and also unable to turn on the WiFi after update.
I just bought my brand new G5 H860 TWN and updated it, which cause the whole device to malfunction.
please correct me if I'm mistaken. An update is meant to improve the functionality of a device not to destroy it.
Apart from this problem the interesting thing is that non of the LG customer cares know whats causing the problem,
A word of advice to LG. Please Do not make something that you don't know **** about.
yours sincerely
have nice day.

Do a factory reset. Then feedback.

Thanks for your advise my friend, factory resetting the device was the first thing i did, but i did not solve the issue.
i have tried the following:
-Flash other ROMs from different countries for H860
-booted the device into safe mode and tried to enable the WiFi and etc.
my WiFi MAC is set to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it means that WiFi has not been detected by android. Also the Bluetooth address is defined as "unavailable".
and the worst of all is its battery drain issue which kill my battery within 5 hours in standby mode, while i can not notice any abnormal battery consumption in "BATTERY USE DETAILS" section in Battery usage setting. this probably means that some other consumer(perhaps the WiFi) uses the battery without being listed.

H860? H860 haven't got root nor custom ROM yet. Bootloader of H860's still locked.
I've got a brand new LG G5 which I have been using since Thursday and I honestly can say it sucks big time compared to my 2 year old Z3 which can easily get me 4 hrs SoD on mixed usage. Using the exact same set up of apps, location and wifi/mobile use, I am struggling to see more than 2.5hrs SoD with the G5. Honestly, it just drains battery like no tomorrow and this is fresh battery... I dread to think what it will be like in 2 years. Sony made a lot of mistakes but the Z3 really excelled...
