This just recently started (in the last 3 or so days) to kill my battery. I have an AT&T S6 Edge on OE2. Anyone know what it is and how to stop it?
Any ideas what CoverAuthentcator is?
And if anyone is wondering, I do not have a wallet cover on my phone.
Use this link to see the BetterBatteryStats of it's wakelocks... http://imgur.com/ZR8g6zE
I have the same issue, CoverAuthenticator just keeps eating my battery. Found any solution?
Use "Wake On Gesture" as the app to wake/sleep your device when you open your case, it's battery friendly. I tried another app for it but it drained my battery miserably.

I am having huge issues with my battery on my galaxy s2. It drains really fast, 60% over the last 15 hours this night when the phone has been idle. This has been an issue for about a week now; I cannot seem to find a solution? I have tried various roms, wiping and doing a clean install, but the problem continues. Currently using lightening rom 3,2.
Do anyone know what can be causing this battery drain? Is the battery defective??
What apps do you have installed?

That is quite a drain I can see there. The drain might be caused by having too many widgets or having too many applications open. If you plan to put it on standby, do close those apps that are not important to you.
Have you tried rebooting?
I have a stock lightening rom 3,2. no apps installed, except titanium backup pro and opera mobile. I have frozen all kinds of stuff in titanium to try find the cultprit, but without success. As you see, no apps except andoid OS is running. Same drain on villainrom, lightening. Don't know what can be causing the error. Is there some way to check if the phone or the battery it self is to blame?
Try with screen on - normally I think that should run for 6 hours or so. Using that as a reference, you can check to see if the energy stored in the battery is normal. It doesn't look like your OS is staying overly active to me.
Hi bjorninge,
Every time after you flash a new ROM you should calibrate your battery.
Get the app "battery calibration" from the market and follow instructions and please report back whether you can achieve better performance.

I have a similar issue, as was the same with my captivate. I have stock ROM on my GS2 though, the way I got it out of the box pretty much. Android OS takes up most of the battery usage. I don't know what it is. Widgets updating constantly? The constant syncing from Gmail/push email?
Well that's surprising! Awake and Screen On bar is quite low and totally synchronized, yet 60% drain, now I gotta say it's weird.

Tried calibrating the battery, but it doesn't seem to help too much

Unfortunately, I have the same issue as you've described above. I am running on stock KE2 kernel and the battery drain is quite a lot. The 'Android OS' is always consuming a lot of processor time on standby mode.
This needs to be fixed A.S.A.P.!
Download and install the app BetterBatteryStats from Android section, it is a very useful app which will show what Awaking the device from deep sleep and processes too. For me, it was the damn Latitude stuff going on background and wasn't letting the device to go to deep sleep.

Thanks for the tip. I have downloaded the app now. what spesifically should I look for?
You just look under 'Wakelocks' and you will know what apps are causing the Awake, then you could take further steps.
Regards.
Would be great if you could look at the screenshot and tell me if something is wrong. Also, after the battery calibration, I've "only" lost 26% the last 7 hours mostly idling. I don't see anything abnormal in the screenshot I provided :/
Well nothing is wrong imo as everything is very low. You should check those which are using more than 10 mins Wakelock, some seconds doesn't matter actually. And you can post any query further to the original thread of this app, here,

OK, So I'm now back to 12% battery usage (from 100% to 88%) with 17 hours and 30 mins on battery, which IMO is normal.
What did I do? Well, I removed the battery and put the rest of the phone into the stove for an hour on 50-60 degreed celsius. My 98% android OS usage is gone and the battery works as normal .I also had problems with the phone constantly going into "car mode" which is now gone.
I got some tips around the internet that my issues were all related to moisture on the inside of the phone.
Hie guys, I just woke today to see my phone was off and when I switched it on the battery was @17%, from the battery stats in settings it shows my phone switched off after 2hours of me sleeping. So what can really make a phone lose 74% battery whilst it's OFF??!!
Help me or you can paste me a link to where similar problems have been discussed.
Thanx.

Download a battery calibration tool off the market and use it, I have had this happen to me before where i would lose over 50% of battery life just by restarting my phone, and it would gradually go back up.
Also check if their are any updates for your rom and os you are running

Probably a pointless exercise since it's been proven you can't "calibrate" the battery in an S2.
I've had something similar happen, I was raping my battery with a torch app then restarted. Before the restart I had about 90%, after it was around 30%.
Could it be a sign of the battery failing? I've not had any real problems otherwise..
Perhaps you have wake locks? Purchase better battery stats or download it using the search button.
A high battery drain is often a limiting factor for a great user experience.
With BetterBatteryStats you can analyse the behavior of your phone, find applications causing the phone to drain battery while it is supposed to be asleep and measure the effect of corrective actions:
- Spot drainers based on detailed information about the root cause
- Use the online Knowledge-Base to find how to reduce or remove the wakelocks
- measure the effect of actions to reduce drain
- detect changes in the awake/sleep profile and quickly find the causes (rogue apps)
Im looking for an app that will do the following:
log the battery percentage at set intervals.
(for instace, every 10 mins it would take note of the percentage of battery left.)
Im having problems with the battery in my epic 4g and I think that an app like this would help me diagnose the problem.
The default battery monitor app kind of does this, however it doesnt record the actual times (to my knowlege) it just shows a line graph.
The battery is draining at about 15% over the course of an hour.
UPDATE: A big thanks to user: JR67 for suggesting "Battery Monitor Widget" This does exactly what I was looking for.
EDIT/UPDATE:
So, im making some progress trying to find out whats wrong. I put my phone on airplane mode for over an hour and when I checked it again the battery had not dropped a single percent, as opposed to non-airplane mode, which was taking about 10-15% in that same time period. I suspect that there is an app or two that are contancting a server a little too often. Im going to keep an eye on my data use to find out what could be using it. I dont think that I have any third-party apps that could be doing this so I think it is something default in CM9. I'm going to keep updating this with more info as I figure it out. When I get to the bottom of this I might start a new info thread with the details of whats going on (in the EVO 4G forum)
Take a look at Battery Monitor Widget. It will log battery stats at set intervals. You could also take a look at Battery Monitor. It keeps track of how long your battery remained at a certain percent.
Cool I just flashed cm9 and it seems to help a bit, I'll try the widget and see what up. The sprint store said the battery was fine. I also underclocked the cpu to .8 and that seems to help. Im also thinking it might not be sleeping properly.
If you think that your phone might be having sleep issues then you should use BetterBatteryStats.

I would use Battery Monitor Widget as a diagnostic tool and would only enable the monitoring/logging when I'm having battery issues. It'll cause wakelocks when it reads the battery stats.
I think I have the problem 'solved'. As soon as I turn off all mobile(3G) data the battery is fine. loosing 1-3% per hr. I wonder why the data is taking so much...
I've come from using the ipad air to the Z2 and over night the battery drains by over 50%.
See attached.
I didn't use the device at all and stamina mode was on. This is frustrating since the ipad can stay in standby for days without even 5% drain.[emoji15]
Anyone?
Need help here guys!

Well, for starters, not sure if the battery temperature chart you attached will help.
So you say it goes from 100% charge to 50% overnight? If so,you got some serious issues there. Typical loss is from 3-5%.
But 50 is absurd.
When you check the battery usage, what kind of usage is going on? Display of course is a biggie and uses the most. It's possible some application is keeping the tablet awake/display on. This might explain it a little.
I will explain how to read it. If the usage chart states "Display 54%", then it means of the 50% battery you lost, the display was responsible for 54% of "that" figure. That's how to properly read it.
But you need to find out where the drain is. I suspect a "rogue" app or a bad battery perhaps. A rogue app can certainly cause it, as with running some strange mods that just don't get along well. So you are going to have to hink back and remember what you changed just before you noticed the drain.
You can install an app called Better Battery Stats, and it might actually pinpoint what is causing the severe drain.
You have already installed GSAM Battery Monitor, so you should be able to find the cause for your battery drain.
Do you already have the Root Companion App installed, too? If not you probably should do so, this should provide better stats. Your tablet needs to be rooted, though.
After the drain appeared, open the GSAM-App and select ´App Usageˋ or so (my app is in German, so I donˋt know exactly). Then select ´Show Kernel Wakelocksˋ or so.
Now you should see how long your device was awake and what caused this.
Hi guys! Thanks for your help here.
I have found out now that the battery is definitely faulty as it went dead last night and I tried charging for 2 hours and it still won't turn on.
I am sending it back for a replacement.
Again thanks for your help

No problem. At least you know the cause. Personally I can't recall a bad battery on a new tablet, but I would think it's possible as many tabs as are sold. Sucks you got one though.
Getting about 40% drain overnight with no usage (location/gps off, etc). Couple of questions...
Is this normal?
Any tips to slow down usage?
Would this be under warranty?
Has anyone replaced the battery themselves?
Thanks in advance, hope there is some advice out there!
I found this, but I am a little intimidated to do this...

Install "better battery stats" give it permissions via adb and see what consumes battery
your phone is non-rooted after all, right ?
Yup, I haven't played with it. I will try that, is it in the google play store?
Check your battery usage for 1029. If that affects you, google "LG V30 1029 battery"
How can I check which battery I have without opening up the phone?
