So, have my new rezound (old D2 r2d2 lost a fight with the driveway) unlocked and rooted, running 2.01.605.11
Display brightness is set to ~25%. Running on CDMA only 3G. Only auto sync tasks are my email accounts, and those are push updates (only get 5 or so emails a day). All other accounts and apps (weather, news, Fbook, etc, are manual updates when opening apps)
Yesterday i charged to full, wiped the batt stats in recovery, ran it dead and recharged to full overnight.
Unplugged around 7am and then gave the charged phone a bump charge to bring it up to full. Turned on the phone right around 8am. In just a shade under 4 hours (only 22 mins of which were screen on time), the phone went from 100% to <20% charge. Phone had signal 100% of the time, no roaming etc.

Suggestions? I just ordered a 3400mh battery, but still, I gotta believe something is WAY wrong here. I really don't want a huge battery that's still just gonna die in 6 hours....
Screenshots of relevant stuff attached
what the temperature u getting
if its not getting heat enuf i mean 45c
ur battery could be not good i guess u replace it
After 15 hours (7 am to 10 pm) of moderate use yesterday, couple texts, a few emails, couple short phone calls, 2 hours of listening to music at the gym, checking facebook couple times and I was at 60% when I plugged it back in to charge it. So something is definitely wrong with yours. Under Settings>Power>Power Mode I have mine set to Normal, I also turned off all animations but have all notifications and auto updates are still active and have weather set to update every hour. Set to CDMA only out of the box too.
Are you playing words with friends? How about any other ad supported apps like Angry birds? All ad supported apps are battery killers even when you aren't using them.

Proz - Screen's been off for like 2 hours now, plugged into a wall charger, temp is 43.2 degrees C. I disconnected it from the charger, and let it sit for 10 minutes with the screen off - temp went down to 40.3 deg C.
I've noticed high temps occasionally, especially if i'm streaming netflix while charging, or running screen at full brightness for an extended period of time. When it gets that warm, and I plug in to charge, the LED alternates green and yellow, indicating overheating, but after a minute or two with the screen off, and plugged in, it cools down and charges normally
kzoo - not really. The only apps I use are the yahoo fantasy baseball, and aldiko reader. The phone still has all the bloat on it, but I don't ever open any of those apps. Also, i do run advanced task killer before i shut the screen to kill programs and background tasks. I then exit out of ATK - I don't keep that process running on auto kill, as I've heard that when you let it kill stuff every 1/2 hour, those processes re open, and ATK kills them again, and that open/close/open/close cycle just chews up battery even with the phone off
i would replace that battery and ask for more info in post ur battery thread too
while only charging the battery should be the room temp'
that look too high

The fantasy baseball app could be doing it. That 71% display usage is high, are you accessing the fantasy baseball app a lot during the day or for long periods of time? And of course Netflix will be a big battery drain too as it takes a lot of juice to power this display for long periods of time. I get the same % display time that you posted on my wifi only Incredible that I play Words With Friends on during the day and my battery on the Inc only last about 6 hours when I'm playing it. My Rezound's display only uses about 30% for 15 hours but I don't play games or stream music or videos on it.
Maybe try uninstalling all your personal apps and see what kind of battery life you get just plain stock.
Edit: Are you connected to wifi or 3g when your doing all this?
I don't think it's the yahoo app though - i got the phone friday, and was dealing with the major drain all weekend. didn't install the baseball app on the phone till monday. No appreciable performance difference with the app installed and being used
also, i think one of my screenshot showed my screen on time - 22 minutes on, out of 4 hours, maybe 10 mins of that was on the baseball app, 5 on aldiko reader, and the rest going back and forth in my settings/app settings to double check that i had all the sync settings set to my preferences (i.e. push only on gmail, lowered brightness, etc)
Yeah then something is not right with the phone. I added some screen shots of my battery stats for today in my last post. With 9 hours on so far today, I checked email about 20 times, made a phone call and got a couple texts and played music for an hour at the gym and I'm still at 84% battery. I'm getting great battery life out of this thing without any tweaks.
cool - i'm going to wait and see what kind of battery life i'm getting with the 3400mh battery. If it only doubles to 8hrs, i'll know it's the phone and not the battery. If it jumps to like 16 hours of usage on one charge, then my stock battery is going to be on a one way trip to the scrap heap
i'll post an update in a few days when my new battery shows up
in the meantime, do you think VZW will give me a new stock battery if I go to the store and show them how hot this one is running?

It's worth a try and asking them for a new one otherwise they would have to replace the entire phone. I had them check my battery on an Eris a couple years ago when I had charging issues with it and they were ready to swap out batteries with me but it turned out it was the phone that was the problem.
So I basically unplugged my tablet last night after it was fully charged and let it sit overnight.
Checked it this morning, and under then normal battery graph it showed it was awake pretty much the whole time.
Using BettterBatteryStatus I see 0 Deep Sleep, 10h34m of "Awake"
Checked Kernel Wakelocks, I have "suspend_backoff" at 5h28m and "alarm_rtc" at 4h10m.
Partial Wakelocks only show "bwl" (Beautiful Widgets) at 8m9s. That's the highest Partial Wakelock.
It appears to only have dropped 5% all night. Although I'm not sure I believe that either, this tablet seems to stay at 100% for quite a bit, but once it starts dropping it starts dropping faster... I can use it for 30 minutes and still be at 100%, then another 30 minutes and have it drop from 100% to 92%.
I've only had the tablet 3 days so far. So far I like it, I'm just trying to figure out why it won't go into deep sleep. Better Battery Stats isn't giving me any idea, and usually it's pretty good at telling you what is keeping the tablet awake.
And no I have not rooted the tablet yet.

don´t use apps that are running in background. look in wakelocks tab of better battery stats (kernel and partial) and lookup whats waking it.

That's... what I did. See my first message.
That's the whole reason I use BBS.
Wifi is on all the time, maybe you should try to turn it off while screen is ff in wifi setting or use Better Wifi On Off.
You don't use Stamina Mode ?

Yeah, I'm playing with this tablet a bit more and realized if I have to use stamina mode to get it to go into deep sleep. Most other android devices I have and have used will go into deep sleep even without any sort of 'stamina' mode and even with Wifi set to always be on. Looks like Sony has made quite a few changes to the way the power settings work with this tablet and the kernel.
Even without stamina mode I get pretty good battery life. With stamina mode it's better. With stamina mode (and very light usage, screen on time is only 42 minutes) I'm at 1 day 8 hours and 84%.
Also I remember one of the sony dev said on their forum that there was a bug (on previous rom) that report wrong battery drain, sorry too lazy to search for the link.
Youn can use geolocalisation to manage wifi too, when near a registered access point it turn on/ and off when going away.
Can't wait to get mine in a week!
My deep sleep is back after I've found that some Sony's b2bcustomerinstall was sending alarms like crazy. Disabling it reclaimed the battery with a notable difference.
Yesterday, I turned off the wake up feature, and I found that the battery lasted a lit longer.
Was this the culprit?
What about the "Always On" feature?
Does auto brightness play a role, as well?
I would say that all 3 play a role. These are my personal stats, so I hope it helps.
1. All day with clock always on feature enabled and motion off i have about 40-50% at the end of the day
2. With motion on and clock always on disabled i have about 60% left at the end of the day
3. Both features off i get 75-80% left at the end of the day.
Cheers
Wow, with Motion On, I was getting about a day of power, and with it off, I was getting about two days of power.
I believe that Motion On will kill it faster.

It wil because the sensor is always polling when motion is enabled.
With motion off and clock face off I get two days easy without using the external booster pack. I'm a welder so my watch is always buried under 3 layers of clothes and a leather gauntlet so those features don't help me. On my days off I turn them on and can usually make it till the end of the day sometimes only till dinner time.

Motion on lasts me about 2 days. It does affect your battery life though. Without a doubt.
As you can see on the attached photo, my phone drains a lot more battery between 23:00 and 9:00 - over 5% per hour, before Nougat it drained 5% all night
I thought it was because I set "do not disturb"for that period, but it does the same without, I did a factory reset, problem stays
I took OFF most permissions, I dont have any new apps or settings that I know
Same thing was happening to me as well. Tried factory reset several times. The thing that worked for me (at least for now) is reflashing stock rom once again via LG Bridge. Just try update error recovery.
Edit: I have an international H960a variant.

Did it, lets see how it goes tonight, thanks :good:
Mine sometimes eats 0% whole night, but sometimes it eats 20% in 3 hours at night. I have no idea what is going on
It is ridiculous, between 14:00 and 23:00 (-9h on the screenshot) it used 22% battery, and I was using the phone moderately, calls, chrome, whatsapp, SMS, etc...
From 23:00 to 08:00 it used 48%, just sitting on the bedside table second screen OFF
I didnt have Do Not Disturb, just second screen OFF
I dont know why the image doesnt show, posted again with a link instead also dont know why I cannot delete this post

Tonite just on the bedside table face down, nothing set, nor "do not disturb", nor second screen off, 55% 9 hours
BATTERY USE DETAILS only shows apps using 15%, what used the other 85%
Bad batterY?
Bad battery would drain a lot during the day too
Try this, goto settings>apps> click the 3 dot menu in the top right hand corner, reset app preferences. It helped mine, not a whole lot but it helped. Some apps will ask permission again when opened. Android System is my main battery drain.
I had an hunch, left the phone in the living room, face up, second screen on all night, it drained only 1% per hour
In the bedroom with face down, second screen off, it used 6% per hour
Wifi is the same, I use an internet radio as alarm, and it works fine, so it must be something related to signal strength, any ideas
A bad cell signal for example can add significantly to battery consumption. I.e., frequently dropping or low signal will make the phone search for other cells again and again.
Also, did you try disabling the 2nd screen via battery saving? Because if the phone lies face done, a sensor will disable it. Maybe that sensor can also add to battery drain.

Tonite I will test with "Do not disturb" and second screen OFF from 23:00 to 9:00. Then tomorrow wifi OFF in the bedroom
Please keep us posted. I'm invested in this matter myself a great deal
My battery drain is rather constant though. Very strange that it's so inconsistent with your device.
Thanks for testing

I work in IT, time to put my experience to service
With "Do not disturb" and second screen OFF from 23:00 to 9:00 it used less than 1% per hour, as it should :good:
Tonite I will test WIFI OFF in the bedroom
Thanks for letting us know! The more I read about this, the more confused I get -_-
What you could also try is setting up some apps that can track down wakelocks, e.g. Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector. Might be that there is some services running that sometimes keep your phone from sleeping.
If it works properly you seem to get pretty decent ratings with your device though!

I dont believe the problem is with WIFI, but I have to test everything, to be sure what is the problem, at the moment I pend to something to do with network access, we will know soon
Well, tonite, in the bedroom, 5% per hour again, it is not WIFI, "Do not disturb" nor second screen for sure
The bedroom is next to the living-room, both have windows facing south, only a thin interior wall separating them, so it doesnt make sense that the network signal would be different enough to use that much battery
On the other hand, I noticed yesterday that location was ON, I always have it OFF, so I reset to OFF for last night. This morning set it ON again, and it started using less battery, so tonite I will test with location ON :fingers-crossed:
Dude i had battery saving on all the time and it eat few % at night. Now i turned power saving off and it eat 0% battery in sleep lol
I'm not exactly sure what is causing it to drain like this. I'm assuming it's not supposed to be this bad otherwise nobody would be using it.
Strange. ..
No bother here, AOD I have no use for especially with extra battery drain.
It can't be the AOD. I've been playing around with this since your post yesterday. I've been unplugged since before 6am and it is now after 1pm here. Battery usage is saying I've been unplugged for over 7.5 hours. In that time, I've used 15% with 7% in the last three hours. Since then, I've had AOD on, watched a few youtube videos, listened to music from the SD card for about an hour, checked email and texts, checked G+ a couple of times, and scrolled through Instagram. Phone idle is reading 4% usage, Android OD is 2%, Google Services 2%, Screen 2%, Music 1%, Android System 1%, Youtube 1%. Which leaves a few mystery processes that didn't register enough to warrant a 1%.
Hi,
Make sure in aod settings that brighter display is not enabled. I agree with the previous post that since having the phone for a week and a half that aod is very minimal on battery usage. Personally I think it is a great feature since there is no led to show missed text or emails. I just glance at the screen to see if I missed any without having to unlock the phone.
Thanks,
Bryan
AOD might take 10% over 8 hrs at most. You def got something else happening.

I'm not sure what's eating it up then. I have wifi enabled but I don't think that should cause so much discharge.
Can you try the test again tonight in airplane mode? That will give a more accurate result.

Maybe try to turn off anything that syncs and test again? Im thinking Google auto syncs and the like.
phone idle 39% then second is android OS at 31%
39%? You definitely need to look into what else is running because I can tell you it isn't AOD. I get about 1%-ish per hour for phone idle.

Do you recommend something? Nothing tells me in detail to what is causing the discharge. My phone is not rooted and I don't really plan on doing it. Now it's saying idle 55% and Android OS 41%
No idea what to tell you to look at. I just know that I'm running AOD my phone sips 1% of battery over an hour's time if I leave it alone. There's something else going on with your phone when it idles.
Personally, I'd do a master reset ... if it continues - and not associated with an app - trade that sucker in for a new one.
Okay so this may sound odd and I can't officially say it's related but I disabled google's location history on my old phone and so far there's a noticeable difference. I will test it at night when I go to sleep. Usually by the morning 30% of the batter is drained.
Did you try to disable all google syncing?
This is really weird. I just checked my phone and I've had it off of a charger for the past 9 hours. I'm only down 10% battery and only 3% phone idle battery usage. I checked my google location history and that's turned on as expected.

So I left it the same way I normally would over night and this time it drained 9% instead of the usual 30%. Although the usage still says 41% on idle. I don' t know what's going on. I may have to do a factory reset as suggested by someone else
I noticed something weird. If you've got sync on for all of Google services but have each app (Like Drive, Etc) setup to update on Wi-Fi only, it might keep it attempting to sync forever. I went into each individual app and changed to update over Wi-Fi and data. Then the sync completed. Not sure if this is relevant but I thought it worth looking into if you've got sync on.
