Normal battery drain is 6-7% overnight.Even if i turned on aeroplane mode, the battery drain overnight is 3-4%.
Any Remedy?!
You have to find the cause of the drain. I get a drain of 0.6-0.7% per hour overnight. If that's the level you're at, then you're fine, (I don't know how long you sleep- can't make that calculation). Some setups can go below that but really your phone should be consuming some energy overnight. If it's much higher than that, use gsam battery or better battery stats to figure out 1. No of times each service is waking your device. 2. Are there any apps that are consuming a lot more than everything else. Charge your phone above 90% and let it be overnight as you normally would. What you do after will depend on what you find out, what rom you have, what kernel you have, what your phones unlock status is and what kind of performance/usability you are willing to give up.
PS. Don't turn off sync or turn on battery saver at night. That actually causes some apps to misbehave. As an overall fix , naptime or greenify with aggressive doze are good. Just don't use both at the same time

Hi all,
Why does my battery drains faster? I checked the battery used and "Cell Standby is 70%" could this be the reason of it?
Currently using Custom Rom OptimusXrom v1.1..
Help please..
Download Spare Parts and monitor with that.
Hi badeaioan, I'll check it later.. Thanks!
still my battery drains faster, cell radio is almost 70%.. can somebody help me here?
Install Watchdog. That monitors your app's CPU usage and warns you if it goes above it's threshold.
Also, you can try wiping your battery stats.
already wiped the battery stats... nothings happens.. still the Cell Standby is 70%.. how about yours?
20%.
Do you have SetCPU installed? Try setting a profile that lowers your maximum frequency down to 245MHz when the screen is off.
EDIT: Also, you have to note that the battery info in the about menu is not live information. It updates slowly (once in a while).
yes i have installed SetCPU. I'll try to make a profile, and monitor it.. I'll post an update tom. Thanks.. I'm planning to try UbuntuDroid if this wont work.. I already tried, amber home, prime and currently using optimus x.
Cell standby is also at 75% for me and the battery has juice for 2 days. So don't worry about it.
All the p500 phones show that cell standby is the biggest conssumer (i know 4 guys with same phone). For example on a Galaxy S the screen eats all the battery.
I figured it out!
The battery usage info menu does will not show you whether your battery is draining faster or not.
Here's how it works:
Suppose I have 5 apps: a, b, c, d, and e. Let's say cell standy is app letter a. Overall, battery usage is 100%, right? Assuming everything consumes power at the same rate, app a gets 20%.
If you have cell standby consuming 70% power, everything else consumes 30% power.
Confirm this by visiting your battery info menu. Also, you only have a problem when what's consuming more is an unnecesary app. As for cell standby, I wouldn't worry about it.
Do you have a screenshot of yours?
No I don't have any screen shots, so you mean it's ok that my cell standby is 70% sometimes more... ? My officemate's Samsung galaxy s cell standby is something like 3% - 10%.. that's why I'm thinking that cell standby is the reason why my battery drains faster?
What apps do you have there by the way? I'm guessing there are a few, or many but using only about 1-3%
If you ask me, no. Out of the 100% battery use, cell standby is using 70% of that. 30% goes to everything else.
How you use that 100%, though, is a different story.
hmm.. I see... well I guess I'll try different rom... what rom are you using? I noticed, before I go to sleep,for example I check the battery 90-95% when I woke up and check it again, the battery goes down to 50%... I wonder why... standby.. and drains that fast?

Light. Wow, that's a huge difference Try another ROM. See if that solves the problem.
Yep, that's what I'm planning to do.. I hope it'll solve my problem.. hehehe I'm just waiting for my phone to finish charging.. I'll post an update tomorrow.. Thanks again kpbotbot.. how the rom you're using? how's the battery life?
Feels like the stock ROM (which is why I like it). The only difference is that stuff under the hood are tweaked, optimized, and the like. Plus the useless apps are removed. Battery life is... adequate I can go about a day and get about 60%. I don't know how long 100% will last since I always recharge.
PS - In case you're wondering why I reply so fast, it's because I have nothing to do at home since I was advised to rest for at least a month after release from the hospital xD
Try battery saving apps like juice defender.
Im using juice defender with ultimate juice and use its mobile data toggle widget to switch off my internet when I dnt use it..
hmmm..actually I was.. hahahaha.. now I know why you reply so fast.. Thanks dude.. get well soon..
40% it's a normal value?
I don't know why your battery drains so fast (50% over night is tooo much) but right now for example in "battery use" menu I have:
13h 50m since unplugged
Cell standby 78%
Android system 13%
Display 5%
Voice calls 4%
Android OS 2%
I think this is normal.
couple weeks ago, i pulled my battery out when it was at 81% started it back right away and it was 45%, did it again today, it went from 71% down to 29%, my battery reading is tripping, I noticed. MY BATTERY IS HORRID, i lose 1% power per min on the lowest screen brightness display setting, could this have anything to do with this?
side note:
using my battery. battery stats says that my screen is causing 99% drainage.
my buddy battery: my screen is 80% drainage.
bad battery??? it still drains really quick with my buddy's battery, but DOES perform better. but not by much...
another thing, lol..... charging differs. sometimes it can charge like 10% every 10 minutes, and sometimes 30min for 10%.....its just weird. and my phone doesn't last me longer than 10 hours full charge, minimal use.
You may want to look at your battery health under the battery information menu.
Also to better understand and provide support we need to knock out a few things.
What is your current set up? ( rom,kernel, etc)
Have you done a battery calibration at all?
Have you run things like cpu spy to see what apps could be at fault?
All of this can give the community a better picture of what may be going on
Also I pull my battery alot because of testing and sleeps of death and I see very good battery life still. Atm 15 hours @ 72% and I am far from conservative.

kernel is the community TSM, battery still was wierd in stock rom, sc 2.9.2, and others.
battery health is good according to spare parts at 3850mv.
currently charging its been at 16% for 10 mins.....

Just FYI, you don't have to do a battery pull when you get SOD. Just hold the volume up and power buttons until you see the samsung logo, then let go. This is a hard reboot of your phone. That will save you battery a little bit as you won't be pulling it as much.
I have the stock 4.5.9 gingerbread update on my AT&T ATRIX. However I am observing a terrible battery life. There are too many solutions in the forum to follow. Can someone direct me to the appropriate one? I am rooted and unlocked. I used the unlocked 4.5.9 sbf for upgrading from from Froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
there;s a lot of solutions because poor battery life can be cause by many things, you have to find out what is draining your battery. try calibrating first let it drain until your phone turns off and then if you have cwm install then wipe batterystats and then a full uninterrupted charge
Try setting profiles in SetCPU and freezing apps with TitaniumBackup. Theres a topic for each of these two solutions.
battery stats 6h 3m 29s on battery (now left with 10% of battery)
Display 49%
Phone Idle 22%
Cell standby 6%
Android system 5%
Launcherpro 3%
xda 3%
Android OS 3%
this is just terrible .. i never had such battery life with Froyo. i dont understand what might be the problem. Meanwhile i will try to calibrate my battery.

Calibrate your battery.
Then freeze your bloat.
Problem solved.
dont forget you might also being playing with your phone a lot more trying to see all the new stuff in the update. Thus causing more battery drain.

There are some strange things happening with the battery. I let my battery discharge completely to the point where phone shuts down. Then I plugged in to charger, waited for 2-3 minutes so that I can start the phone. Started the phone and saw 50% battery. Don't know what's going on.
I was told by an admin from another site that most of the battery programs do not work with ova ginbread. You go to settings/about/status and observe the battery. I do no I was also getting flaky results with 2 of the battery programs.

That's a GB bug... there's a battery fix in the development section to flash which deals with the reboot battery jumping. (turn off phone at 50%, turn on phone and it says 70%)
I am having problems with my Atrix too. With my usage, I used to be able to get almost 3 days of battery life. Now it hardly lasts a day. I have checked pretty much all settings (sync, sleep) and all seems fine as far as I'm concerned. So I am having hard time trying to find what is causing this. The only suspect I have right now is wifi. I don't think wifi is sleeping even though I've selected "When screen turns off" in the sleep policy.
Hi guys. I'm running on CheckROM revoHD4 and while sometimes I lose 10% of battery overnight today I dropped 30% in 3.5 hours doing absolutely nothing with screen off and not a huge ammount of apps running on the background. And its not the first time I notice inconsistent discharge. When I installed this ROM battery would last for 20h/3h screen/3h voicecalls. now sometimed it doesn't even last half of that. Any ideas?
You should check the battery info via Settings > About Phone > Battery Stats to see if you find a proccess that is huging the battery.
Also you could download Better Battery Stats from the Market and find which proccess are the ones doing the more Wake Locks and how much time they have done it. You could find for example an app thats been doing that for hours and that could be the cause of the battery drain.
Hey I hope you guys are doing great !
Well i bought this phone like last month and the battery was working fine for the first few days but then its battery started decreasing faster than before while using the same apps as before. The most battery drains while its still in the idle conditions and overnight.
At first it would only loose like 1 or 2 percent over night but now it looses like 1 percent battery every hour it stays idle.
I have attached 2 screenshots below to show what I'm talking about . Both screenshots were taken 1 day apart and as you can see , sometimes the battery works fine but sometimes it drains a lot and its mostly when its idle. Kindly suggest me something if you got anything in mind that what might be the issue here.
Maybe the radio of your phone, that's what's draining mine fast.
And Facebook is a well known battery drainer
If you tap on the graph once, it allows you to find out the battery drain for specific time intervals and their length can be adjusted as well. Please do that and tell us which app or apps are draining the most battery during standby. Btw is your aod on? Aod prevents the device from sleeping properly so the battery drain can rise up to 2% per hour if its on. If that is not the case as well, try turning off location and nfc if they are not being used, and turn off wifi and cellular before going to sleep and then check the drain. Also try disabling google play protect from play store, and check out the link below which improved battery life for many people including myself:
