A couple days ago 'NFC service' started draining battery really quickly. Never had any problems before that. For some reason, I can't turn NFC off. Restarting device doesn't do anything. I'm on the pie beta if that makes any difference

Before flashing CM9 to my mopho I had only used the stock rom, on Gingerbread my battery would last for 1.5 or 2 days, but since i updated to ICS it dies whitin 10~ hours of idle...
it usually goes from 100 to 70% overnight (6 hours). Recently I purchased Juice Defender Ultimate hoping it would help fix this issue, well... it did help but id didnt solve it, went from 30% overnight battery drain to 15-20% with airplane mode enabled in JDUltimate.. wich is ALOT from what i've read most users are getting (1-2% overnight, am i right?).
I've wiped my battery stats over and over (even tried the market app method) and nothing has changed.
I installed BetterBatteryStats and Watchdog from market, and both of them and the android battery stats show that "suspend" or phone idle are the cause of my battery dying so fast.
If anyone experienced anything similar and knows a way to fix this I would really appreciate it!!
Ive never seen my Photon go overnight with only a literally 1-2 percentage loss.. Not on stock, Cybiks CM7, or on CM9. but it usually only drains maybe 10 or 15 percent on higher end so nothing major. Talking ~8 hours off charger idle with random text or two and led going nuts blinking all night with data/wifi/bluetooth etc off but NOT in airplane mode. Are you on latest CM9 build? My bet is you have a random app screwing with phone keeping it from entering sleep mode or whatever its called. Check the "Awake" time under the battery settings to see if the awake time is allot higher than the "Screen off".
I have the same problem, no matter what kernel, no matter what cm9 build, still draining too much in idle. I know, others don't have such draining. But I give up and I am back on cm7, where everything seems fine.
I noticed that this happens to me as well. Previously, I fixed this by re-calibrating the battery. Now I was suspecting skype, but it is not causing this. I have noticed that having both GPRS/3G enabled and Wi-Fi drains power very quickly (about 4 times faster than having only one of those switched on). I'm using Photon in Europe in GSM network, so not sure is it the same with CDMA.

during night, "Awake" seems to be up about 50-60% of the time, a lot more than "screen on"
I´ve read that setting your phone to "never turn screen off" shuts down suspend process and battery actually lasts longer, has anybody tried this??
Are you guys logged into Latitude? I signed out of it yesterday and now after 10 hours on battery, although 6 of it was sleeping, I still had 86% left.

Thanks, I logged out already will report back after some time
I am not sure, but never logged in latitude myself, so I think, no.
And CPU was perfectly sleeping with turned off screen. But still the same draining. And what I know, it has nothing with gsm.
I as well am having the same problem, dropped from 88% to 72% within 20 minutes.
phone idles killing my battery at 50% any fixes?
try wiping battery stats in recovery with a full charge
I have a Captivate running Dark Knight's 4.0.4 and the battery life I get is very poor. Usually it says that Android OS or Google Services is taking about 30, 40+ percent in battery life. I get about only 10 hours of use with the device, and i still get battery drain even when it is in sleep. I've checked better battery stats and gtalk_async_conn has been waking up the device. I disabled all syncing, and in the Play Store disabled automatic checking for updates. I've tried calibrating my battery also but nothing, mainly since the phone cant turn on for some reason while it is charging. But no matter what I do, that process is still killing my battery. Does anyone know how to fix this? I had the phone off and charging for 12 hours, and 1 hour has past since i turned it on, using the phone for about 3 minutes, and the rest of the time it was in sleep, and the battery is down to 91%. Please Help!
Hi, today i experienced something strange with my s3. I was outside, battery was 16%, i heard the alert for 15%, i took phone to check and was 15% left. After 20 mins, my phone vibrated in pocket like does when you switch off. I checked and was switched off, when i came back i put on charger and turn on and under battery stats is really something drained it, but i'm not sure exactly what or whats the problem. How can i check exactly what app drained the battery like this? I attach a screenshot.
And another thing.... after phone turns off and you turn on, doesn't the battery stats reset ?
As per previous posts use Better Battery Stats .
after phone turns off and you turn on, doesn't the battery stats reset
No it does not .

No, is the i9300 version. I have 2 of them, never had any problem with any of them..
Just today happened this strange drain, now i charged it completely and i uninstalled some apps that i think might drained my battery like this. So far everything is back to normal.
use better battery stats... instead of uninstalling every app you should look for what is causing the drain in bbs and unistall it
Hello, I've started having some weird battery issues with my HTC One X+, wonder if anybody else has seen this before. I've attached a screenshot of the battery graph for my phone, so you can see what I've been encountering.
It all started two days ago, when my phone charged down and shut off, despite being idle and connected to my laptop for USB charging the whole time. Since then, I've been seeing all kinds of wacky behavior with the battery stats. The status has been stuck on "11M 19S ON BATTERY" for the last three days. It discharges really fast even when idle, which it wasn't doing before. Last night, the battery chart shows the phone either being awake or with the screen on, but it is wrong: the phone was turned off.
I turned it off almost all of today, turning it on maybe 2-3 times just to check the charge and then immediately turning it off, and connected it to AC charging the whole time, but the battery charge seems to go up and down during that period! At this point, my battery stats seem completely corrupted, except for the fact that the phone does shut itself off when the charge goes to zero, so the total charge may be correct.
I'm not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, as I seem to be getting strange data from the software. I looked at many of the battery threads in this forum: they say to charge the phone to green and discharge a couple times, but I cannot get it to go to green again, even with the phone turned off and AC charging! I should still be covered by the 1-year manufacturer warranty: do I need to send it in for repair or this is some known software issue that I can fix myself? I'm running stock unrooted Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 on the international unlocked HOX+.

I thought I'd update with the latest. After a couple days of freaky battery behavior, I was finally able to get the HOX+ fully charged again, after which the problems went away, still no idea what caused it in the first place. I wanted to make sure it really went away before posting: it hasn't recurred in the weeks since.
I fell asleep last night with a podcast playing on my HOX+ at the lowest volume setting and held next to my ear, woke up this morning with only 50% battery used after 12 hours of almost continuous mp3 playback. I've always been impressed with how little battery this device uses while playing mp3s, still going strong. :victory:
Sigh, spoke too soon, it's constantly discharging again, no rhyme or reason why, and the charger can't keep up. The weirdest part as always is that it can't even recharge while turned off, implying there's a short circuit or something else wrong with the hardware. I'll see if I can get it to charge eventually, may have to turn it over to HTC this time.
So lately my 1.5 year old Galaxy Alpha running Lollipop (never rooted or modded) started having poor battery life. It used to shut off at 1% battery life. But started to die at even 15% recently. Now this past weekend I was on vacation and a few times the phone died at approx 35% and wouldn't turn back on without a charge first. And when it did come back on the time and date were very!! far off although I was in air plane mode but still seemed odd. A few days later I had it plugged in over night as I always do and saw that the phone was very hot in the morning in my hand. I unlocked it and a notification was up. Cant remember word for word but something along the lines of "battery too hot to charge". It would not charge, I've tried to pulled the battery and reinsert it etc. The odd time it will show on the screen that it is charging but it is stops very quickly. Is this normal for a 1.5 year old battery? Will a new battery solve this problem? I've had no issues with the charging port on this phone. The only problem I've had with this phone is the fingerprint scanner but I've opted to just not use it.
Basically I am hoping someone else has had similar symptons. I hope its not hardware and hoping its as simple as a new battery. But hate to order one and wait a week to find it hasn't helped. Thanks so much for reading this and hope to hear from you guys!

I've had mine since it was released and have never had a heating problem, even with the original battery.
