Is CM responsible for battery drainage problem in Moto E? - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is CM responsible for horrible battery drainage problem like 60-80% to 0?
For investigating this I flashed cleanly CM lp based rom many times but no luck.
I turned back to CM 11 but again no luck.
Finally I flashed Carbon kitkat an AOSP rom and now the battery drainage is not like that as in CM i.e 100 -70 as normal and after that two or thee bump of 10-15% to from 70-0.
I know it may be battery issue and my moto E is 15 months old but I dont't think that in any type of branded mobile however low budget phone it is,the battery issue comes as early as in moto E.
Is it be the flashing problem as we testers flash different types of roms daily .
Then why this issue is not happening in carbon rom?
Please testers throw a light on that.
Thank you.:good:

Same query here.

Same problem here too dude..! Even I replaced with new battery...still the issue remains...

Yep...CM is responsible for the battery. If there's new features the device eats more battery....So, cm ****s battery but enhances performance and daily use.

Finally I flashed stock 5.1 optiised deodexed,lets see what's the result and I'll tell.

True, you are not the only one facing this problem.
I tried Official Cm 12.1 December build and the battery drain on standby was huge.
Now that we have official CM 13, it uses the same tree and hence the problem persists.
I am sure it is a bug but the bad part is it is not noticeable or else it would have been fixed by now.
Soltuion: Use Mokee ROM, which is official for our device and is based on AOSP instead of CM.
Note: Right now it is Lollipop and soon they will start Marshmallow nighties. I recommend using stable lollipop version.
I am using it for weeks and it has definitely the best battery life. SOT has jumped to 7 hours and the standby is also better.

Sure, try stock. I am 99% sure it is CM's problem as many people are facing the same problem.
After stock, try Mokee. It's really stable and has all the necessary features. And one more thing, the release version is odexed which means faster boot and more stability. It also has OTA updates.
Happy to help

If possible please provide the link for Mokee rom.

I have a query.
i got satisfactory battery performance when not using the phone for anything other than calling. But the battery seems to drain quick in this ROM .
I'm using the cm13 Unofficial build for condor.
The battery usage stats show computed usage and actual usage. The actual usage is double the computed usage. why is that happening?
Sry, me so NOOB.

Guys...help me...I had the same problem..so flashed stock 4.4.4..unfortunately that didn't solve battery drain problem. Even got replaced old battery with new one at the service centre..now with official stock 4.4.4 battery drain is huge..I get around 5-8 hours max. Screen is consuming around 60% of the battery even at normal usage..please please help me..

I am currently using CM 12.1 Official Nightly (latest) and I experienced a very high drain in the battery level even though the Idle time was pretty high. Can anyone help me ?

This is surely due to excessive flashing attempts. I was literally flashing five to six ROMs a day? and my battery starts to give unusual drops from 15 to 0, 25 to 0 then it started to increase, from 40 to 0 (even on stock). So I replaced the battery with a new original one and it's working great now.
I also own another condor which is also running cm 12.1 and I mostly use to clean flash a new build every one or two month, and that device is still giving a battery life like as a new one.
PS. Bought both devices on 14 may 2014.
Anyone having WiFi disconnecting during sleep issue lately on cm12.1 and 13 ?
It usullay disconnects when device is at sleep for around 30 minutes or so and reconnects on waking up. Though the setting is enabled for WiFi connection during sleep.
Hit thanks if I helped you☺

Yes, I also think excessive flashing is responsible for the battery fault and it should be not due to CM.

Me 2 having the same problem!
First it all started by a bump of 10%-0%
Than it increased ..bump of 15%-0%
Than 20%-0%
I tried many ROMs still had the same problem! ..I read somewhere at XDA that lithium ion doesn't need full charge and overnight charging is harmful.. And can cause bumps ..
So I charged my battery to 75% and than I didn't got any bump ..as I tested till 3%..
So what I suggest is..those who are facing large battery bumps, do not charge overnight and charge till 80% and check ..

Yesterday I replaced my battery with the new one.
And no issues facing so far.
I think excessive flashing harms the battery.

I was using XenonHD earlier and it was more battery-friendly rom. In CM i have drop around 7%/hour with light use.
You can try to disable bettery per app profiles - some say it might help.

Battery friendly MM [Android 6 ] Rom for Moto E | Your opinion/ suggestion !

Ever since I have shifted to MM rom, my battery is draining way too much. Have tried Greenify, Amplifier, AppOpsXposed, Powernap, Doze editor, but they have barely been able to provide me with a solution for my device.
I have been suggested by some of the above app developers to change my rom/kernel and see if the issue is still there. Hence I am seeking opinion from the testers on this forum - as to which rom for MM they've used and found most battery friendly. I will give it a try for the time being and see if battery drains the same way as before.
Any kind of input and suggestion is highly welcome, please do not forget to respond on the topic.
Maybe the reason is this:

Most of the Marshmallow ROMs available for our device are based on CM. Even some ROMs like VanirAOSP say they use AOSP as their base and dunno for some reasons I believe it's CM.
Now the problem is, after November, the device tree of CM got affected and all ROMs, CM or CM based which were compiled using the official tree, have the battery drain issue.
I am not 100% guaranteeing you that this is the reason but in my case that's what I feel.
Solution: I am using a very old build of Mokee ROM. It is based on AOSP and there are stable releases for our devices. I am using 28 June 2015 build as the new builds have a weird problem of phone being kept awake by the apps which are disabled by me. Weird, right?
So, I recommend you try an AOSP based ROM, old builds preferred.
P.S I get SOT of 8 hours on mixed usage and nearly zero % battery drop overnight.

(HELP) Very Poor battery Standby Time on Redmi Note 3 Kenzo....

Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

+1,

however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus

Horrible battery life

Hey, I have a redmi note 4 snapdragon version and I have flashed aosp extended rom and franco kernel in it, but I am getting a very poor battery life, hardly 1 hour screen on time and the phone shuts off by the time battery gets to 30 to 20%. My phone is rooted too and i am not using any kind of battery saver app.

I think this is an hardware issue but, I am no expert so please help me on this and let me know what should i do. Thank you.

The problem started probably when i rooted my phone on stock rom(miui 10), the very next day i cleaned every thing (including my firmware accidentally) to flash custom rom, then after flashing i found out that none of the hardware components are working and i posted a thread about it and as per the answers i flashed a latest chinese firmware for redmi note 4.And it worked except i started noticing an awfully bad battery backup(hadn't noticed before as all this happened in just 2 days. (as a matter of fact the battery went down 5% as i wrote this, oh 6 now!)

Cleaning everything, as you stated, including the whole firmware,
You answered your whole thread yourself, just flash stock frimware, then flash AEX like flashing any normal ROM.
I have the same problem, the battery die after 1h screen, when the battery Is on 20% the device shutdown,help me pls, i have rr with franco kernel.
hi OP. base on what you are describing, it looks like your battery is dying... nothing to do with the OS. be careful 'cause chinese batterys (like 70%) turn out to be real sh*t (on my own experiance). consider to replace battery from a confiable retailer or change device.

Better Battery LIfe Help

i have spent the last few hours looking for some info regarding battery life on the mi pad 4 and am about to just throw myself out the damn window! i keep reading about issues with the kernel and custom ROMs with no fix. some users report a 2% drop with custom ROMs while others swear MIUI is better or worse.
can anyone please give a clear answer as to what to do to conserve battery life? i currently on the latest arrowos and have a 12-20% battery loss over night and dont mind switching to a different rom.

Well I don't really use my mi pad 4 often, so basically it sits there idle. I lose around 4% per 24 hour in idle using carbon rom. Not sure which xiaomi build I used for firmware /vendor.
No battery tweaks, Bluetooth /WiFi /data always on

Well, sorry dude, I have no idea!!! Just spent ages goign through my pc files - newest xiaomi.eu rom I have is xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_8.10.25_v10-8.1.zip which has a file date of 07/11/2019, but I would assume I have flashed newer than that - vendor security patch is from 5 April 20
Latest MIUI xiaomi.eu I can see is here
I think you should try out crdroid. I've been a long time user of miui, from eu website. I tried most of the custom ones, was on bliss as daily driver before i finally settled on crdroid. It's got pretty decent battery life. The miui is very clunky in comparison and not worth the extra battery life (if any). Haven't tweaked any kernel parameters on this rom and device goes 2-3 days easy before needing a recharge. I use it mostly to read, browse, occasional video, check mail and occasional whatsapp video calls. I'm pretty satisfied with the battery
