No matter how many forums and threads there is no solution to be found for this massive battery drainage. stock rom vs poison with greenify, underclock, tweaks, lower brightness, other mods, and the battery is exactly THE SAME in both. Draining massivly. I have 60% now, 2 minutes ago when I was browsing in mozzila I had 66%. Also draining when screen off. I kept using the battery with same patterns for a lot of days, adaptive charging doesn't seem to help.. Any solution??
Go back to stock with fastboot and see how it goes.
There's probably a much more convoluted solution out there but it would probably be too much hassle.

Hi guys. Sorry for slow reply. I have tried going back to stock rom and other different roms. No difference. You see the weird part is that the battery lasts the same no matter what you do, stamina mode? same. Nothing running on background ? same. New thing happened: After the poison 7 rom in battery settings ann option "battery care" appeared. I turned it on to see what it does. Only after some weeks it decided to pop up when I plugged my phone to charge. It said something like "Battery Care active. Your phone will be fully charged in 5 p.m Tuesday (example) while it is still Monday 3 p.m. Should I listen to battery care and leave the phone plugged in for 1 day or not? (no matter if it reaches 100%).
This is a bit irrelevant but I am asking just in case: Is your phone too charging very fast ? I have the basic charger (not the fast charge) and I believe my phone is being charged a bit too fast

Me too i have the normal charger included in the box and it takes about 2 hours from 20ish to 90ish % if i plug it to a usb 3.0 port it takes about 1:30hr to charge from about the same
Battery Care is a nice app if you charge your phone overnight.It limits the duration of your battery charged to 100% by charging rapidly to 90% until a half hour or so before you wake up. To do so it needs to learn your charging habits first. Supposedly this prolongs your battery life. Attached an example. You can see it charges rapidly as well.

I agree it is unrelated. Since your battery problem seems independent on the rom, a few options are left: a rogue app that you always install, something related to your Google account, or a hardware problem.

Is it worth it to try going back to stock again and also unrooting? Or relocking the bootloader? I thought of an app but the only thing that it could really be are the google services , the play store. Messenger doesnt seem to drain much and makes a minimal difference, and with the app we mentioned above I didn't find absolutely anything draining the battery apart from screen and OS (it could also be more than normal)
I did all the trip concept-stock-concept and it seems it is an app right now I'm getting almost the day through and have 20ish of battery, it was easier in my case because I didn't unlocked bootloader or rooted, so might try a full clean reinstall to your phone

I'm currently also having massive battery drain(6% an hour) I tried stock rom, Posion rom and concept rom, sadly all with the same result. I use grenify & fordoze but somehow my phone wont 'doze'/go into deep sleep. I installed better battery stats to check out the problem. On a normal day(one charge) the sumery of better batter stats look like this:
deep sleep 7 hours / awake(screen off) 5.5 hours / screen on 1.5 hours
when i look to kernel wakelocks there is one that is always on top of the list:
bluesleep 5.2 hours 243 wakelocks
Also under alarms there is a suspect:
com.google.android.gms: 864 alarms 1/min
So there are some strange things happening on my phone... really wondering if you got the same wakelocks/alarms as I do
I use greenify and HEBF. Same story here, it seems like nothing changes with battery life. Crazy, only 1,5 hours? My average now is 3. I haven't checked the drainage when screen is off but I did notice similar drains to yours. I think we're in the same boat. I will tell you about the wakelocks, haven't looked into that yet

I've just received my phone for just one day. Backup my TA partition, unlock bootloader and use rootkernel tool to root my devices. I'm using the .331 version stock ROM. Just then I installed the ElementalX app on play store, and surprisingly found that the cpu frequency statistics show that the phone is always on the max freq. So I changed the cpu governor to interactive governor. Haven't test battery time yet. Hope you know this issue, if you have the same problem.

I'm wondering if you've check the cpu freq statistics. See my post above. If that's the common issue, than the stock rom maybe has trouble dealing with the cpu governor problem.

Actually I'm not lowering frequencies, I use EX Kernel Manager to tune the interactive governor according to this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
After tuning the governor, it's about 4 hours SOT. Still not good compare to my Xperia Z3, but much better than before(about 2hr SOT)

How can I make my battery last longer? I am using set cpu and various profiles to give me the best optimization I can, however my phone barely makes it 10 hours with light use *1hr web browsing, avid txting, light music listening via music on phone ~ 1 hr as well.* I'm not faulting the phone. I just want to know what can be done to get the most out of the stock battery as I see people getting results twice as good as mine and just done get what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks for the help in advanced.
I have the exact same problem as you. Are you using unnamed with Enthropy's experience kernal as well? I'm about to flash cm7 to see if I can get better results.

I used cm7 for a while now using UnNamed and cm gave marginally better battey life but
Just use the dang phone . You dont need to do anything special for great battery life. Try a factory reset if theres a problem though. Im rooted on cog beta 4 getting amazing battery life. I talked my mom imto getting this phone over the new iphone and hers is completely stock and she knows nothing and doesnt close any apps and gets the same amazing battery life as i do.
Reset and use it. If you cant get through a day of heavy use the phone is defective.

+1....or you have wakelocks. Find BetterBatteryStats and CPUSpy. BetterBatteryStats will tell you if something is preventing the device from going into deep sleep. I like to use "wakelocks since unplugged." CPUSpy will tell you the amount of time your device spends in each frequency, including deep sleep. For this, you'll need to reset the timers each time you unplug the phone.
Its add easy as flashing cm.... I went 15 hours and still had 60% left. with OC. Nothing else special (aka no juice defender our set CPU). The only trick is deleting everything in the dcim folder (known medias bug ) you'll see 1% battery loss per hour, with fb and GV sync

my solution: keep a charger with you anywhere you go
I have a car charger, home charger and work charger (as do most people)
Thanks for all the replies. I'm sure there's go to be a work around for this
Not sure about a workaround. From everything I've seen, the max battery life is around six hours when the screen is on. Basically, if your screen has been on for 4-5 hours, it's time for a recharge.

Well based on all I've read it seems like the battery is a mixed bag depending on the OC profiles, roms and kernels being used with the device.
Is it true that setting a screen off profile in set cpu will cause the device to not be able to enter a deep sleep mode and thus will kill the battery faster?

Not true. It is true, however, that on stock kernels and ones without the "sleep of death" fix, setting a screen off profile with a clock limit lower than 800 MHz can cause "sleep of death" issues. Right now I think only my kernel and the Cyanogenmod kernel have the SoD fix.

Thanks for clearing that up
I'll post here as I don't have enough posts for the development forum yet.
I'm running Entropy's 16th exp kernal, and Cog4 and I noticed my battery draining far too fast, CPUSpy then showed that the phone simply isn't entering deep sleep. I had previously been undervolting with Voltage Control but I uninstalled the program just to be safe, still not deep sleeping. I also uninstalled Widgetlocker, and I don't think I have any apps that would cause infinite wakelock. What are some possible causes of this issue? Just so I have an idea where I should be changing things.
UPDATE: Reflashing the kernal fixed the problem for a while but then I reinstalled voltage control and now I seem to have it again. Uninstalling and reflashing again however, did not fix the problem. I am utterly confused
On another subject, has anyone actually noticed better battery life after undervolting?
Freaking SWEET! My battery lasted 33 hours and 13 minutes! I've only owned the phone for 3 days now and this is off of teh very 1st FULL charge! Usage was between light & moderate. Data sync on, Wifi On, GPS OFF, BT OFF, FB Data Sync OFF, Capacitative buttons set to light up only in the dark & NO haptic touchback...mmm, can't remember what else I tweaked at the moment but I think that's fantastic battery life! I'm upgrading from a G1 that couldn't last more than 17 hours when it was on standby ONLY with maybe 2 phonecalls and less than 20 text messages. I usually only averaged 6-8 hours and with SIMILAR usage in the last couple of days, I've been able to get 33+ HOURS? ^_^ <-- I'm very, very happy so far! This is on a stock root - NO custom ROM for me at the moment...I'm actually digging TouchWiz 4.0 which I thought I was going to hate when I played with the previous version of TW on the T-Mo Vibrant. (yes, my G1 was running CM 7.1 and battery life still sucked and I went through 2 different aftermarket batteries w/o any luck!)
Don't know what the voodoo in the programming is with this bad boy, but I think Sammy did a nice job this time!
The best thing you can do is having "Autostart" to prevent App to start automatically. I saved 25-30% on my SGS 1 and the same on my SGS 2 (i777). My son on the I9000 SGS 2 saved also 30%.

Check for wakelocks in BetterBatteryStats, and if that doesn't find anything, do the following in an Android Terminal Emulator shell:
Code:
cat /proc/wakelocks > /sdcard/wakelocks.txt
or better, using ADB (Google it and if you're on Windows, Droid Explorer)
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/wakelocks > wakelocks.txt
Then post wakelocks.txt here

Hi everyone!
My Atrix battery won't charge past 69%, it constantly overheats (recently it even shut down because of it) while in use or charging (in the lower area of the phone) and the battery drains really fast. I can't get 12 hours of battery life. I am running CM7 (obviously), and before CM7 i had the stock 2.3.6 and Avatar ROM, which was based on 4.1.2, and all of those problems persisted on all ROMs.
I never leave WiFi, Bluetooth, 3g, 2g or GPS on. As far as I can tell, there is no application that's using up my CPU.
Right now, I've installed Usage Timelines to make sure that nothing uses my CPU, and at first it was normal, staying around 10%, and then all of a sudden it jumped to 100%, and the only two things that were using it were android system (at around 50%) and status bar (at around 30%). Basically, the whole phone acts abnormal and I don't know what to do anymore. I've installed multiple CPU monitoring apps, and every one showed different results. A few of them showed very anomalous readings, showing that my CPU rapidly changes speed, while a few of them showed perfectly normal readings.
I bought the phone on eBay so no warranty. I've had the issues since I bought the phone, but I thought they're just battery issues and since I was already planning on buying a new one, I didn't ask for a return. Now I'm wondering, is it really the battery or could it be hardware?

Check with CPU spy after running for a day, and make sure its properly entering "Deep Sleep" after inactivity. If its not, that could be the culprit. I seem to remember there being a BT Deep Sleep fix that fixed this issue.
I some times have the same problem with the overheating. I just solved it changing the kernel or the rom. I believe there must be something incompatible between our hardware and the software/kernel in our devices
Okay feltZ, I'll try that.
I'll also try changing my kernel, but I don't think that is the issue, because I believe both Avatar ROM and CM7 come with their own kernels, and as I had the issue on both of those, as well as on the stock ROM, I don't think that's it.

Hi,
I feel that my battery is going bad after about 8 months of usage. I'm not sure if i still have the warranty (it was bought in different country).
I changed to fully stock rom but it's the same.
It get's fully drained in about 8-10h. Light usage. Even with all the stamina mode/low brightness etc...
The worst thing is that when it's down to about 30% or less, it starts acting up. The % would drop to 0% and the phone would turn off, then after i would turn on the phone again, i would see 70%, then 22%, then 30% again, something like that. After that it might "hold" and work for a few more hours or it might just keep on turning itself OFF.
What the hell is wrong with it...?

hi, thanks for your answer
i charge the phone overnight and in the evenings
from 7am, until 16:00 it is almost empty with virtually no usage since i'm at work...
sometimes i need to charge it couple of times a day if i use it frequently

Post bat stats along with CPU Spu Plus free(check enable charger events at settings) and Wakelock Detector (check the statistics since unplug in settings) screenshots and we'll see if it's the battery or something else.

For Less battery, go for Custom ROMs
I don't find this kind of drain now.. I felt it in my previous ICS. Now am in Enigma 6.1. This ROM has some mod, which will makes the phone enter in to deep sleep mode after 5 minutes. This makes it more battery friendly....
MoonBreaker v3.5 also a good choice.
sorry guys, i forgot to post my results, i will try to get that info by tomorrow
Anyway, i found this on ebay and i'm thinking on giving it a try. Do you recommend i buy somewhere else? Is there a more quality product out there?
I also found a dissasembly video on youtube how to get to the battery and it doesn't seem that hard + the battery on ebay comes with all the needed screws which is nice.
I have tried 5+ roms and none of them changed anything.
But something troubles me...i spoke with a guy from the Sony repair shop and he says that it's not necessarily the battery, it might also be a problem with the motherboard.
I do not have the warranty anymore so motherboard would be the worst option. Phone works normally though...
I hope some results from the mentioned apps might shed some light on this.
HI
Why dont you try DU Battery App , it will help you to charge it fully. What i observed is that even though the battery status will show as 100 % but when you check Setting --> About phone --> Status --> Battery status it will still be showing charging & if i keep it plugged in for another hour or so it turns to battery status --> Full. So using this App DU Battery you will be able to actually fully charge the battery . Also if you try a custom rom with custom kernel like nemesis 6.3 you will be able to change the cpu govorner settings and can save more battery.
thanks, i'll check it out
i have locked BL so no possibility for custom kernel

A seller refurbished battery...
sorry but, meaning what?
edit: ah, i read the description on ebay...heh
anywhere else i could get the original batt?
I recently charged my phone overnight and suddenly the battery has gotten worse. I thought it was an error with the ROM possibly so I updated it and to no avail. On Ampere the battery health is good but the actual speed of charging fluctuates from 10ma to 1830ma (but it also peaked at 4880 so take that with a grain of salt). The battery has also been lasting a lot less than before. I'm running the default Global ROM. Any help is appreciated as currently I'm charging it fully to try and calibrate it.

Deep Sleep and 691MHz have the biggest bars but Deep Sleep has around 12 hours and 691MHz has 2 hours

seemingly rooting & deleting battery data file is the only solution. I'm hoping to recalubrate it naturally by totally discharging & recharging it to 100 upon normal usage don't know if it'll harm my battery though :/

Did that work for you? After 8 hours of charging I'm finally at 100 and hopefully it'll be good when I fully empty it and then charge it again

It is giving a little progress. But don't go discharging your battery down to 0%. It might harm your battery.

Does your phone charge quickly again? I'm following a guide I found on Android Pit and I hope it helps.
yeah I've noticed bad battery on last 2 updates, 7.3.6 and 7.3.7 global rom. Looking in installed apps, runing, I can lots of processes stuck on restarting all the time.
My battery was actually charging normally but the max amount of usage was like 4 to 5 hours SOT and in normal use one day and a half... This happened to me after flashing CM13, though i don't charge the developer for this "Problem" as it might not be the dev's fault but mine...

Have you also noticed slow charging as well?

well it's my wife's phone and she says charging was still fine, but i wouldn't completely trust that.
but anyway, i think i jumped the gun on saying the problem was in 7.3.7 as well, as today's testing seems to show is back to something like normal again.. but I'm still going to keep an eye on it over the next few days
I am currently running debloated stock .305.
I am not overwhelmed by the battery performance. my z3c with slim rom was much better.
So i wonder if i could flash another kernel and improve the battery performance.
So if you guys have some experiences that they will share i would appreciate it.
thanks in advance for any reply.

I'm on the xpower rom and it's weird: during 8h of sleep it only lost 1% of battery, after 10 minutes of browsing and whatsapp it lost 10% of battery. Unacceptable, "screen" is taking most of the battery as there doesn't seem to be any other battery intense app.
Does anyone have any idea?
Sounds like you have 10% drain in 8 hours with light use. That's 1.2% per hour. I think that's pretty usual... And yes, screen should be the most demanding component unless you don't really use the phone. Try lowering the brightness, the effect is almost exponential

Not really, I have 1% over night (which is great) but then 10% in 10 minutes as soon as I start using it (just browsing the net).
I would assume it's just not getting the levels right just after sleep, in fact you've lost 8% and another 2 while using it.

you think so? I rebooted it several times and it would always show the same %, only to drop drastically as soon as I used it. It's really weird to see the battery going down while using it for just a couple of minutes.
Battery % is always a guess.
It would be much better to actually use the device for a few days and then deduce how much battery time you get according to your own usage.
Im using XPower as well and notice the same issue. Battery can last forever screen off but then drains quickly when on.

Maybe then it's a kernel or rom related issue?

Well compare to the latest stock firmware the battery seems to be night and day. I can easily get two days with light use. The battery drain on stock seemed to just be constant.
