So I'm rooted on Android 10 and I'm trying to get more detailed battery usage.
I'm using gsam battery and I have extra stats enabled and I'm using betterbatterystats but nothing adds up right to me, or I may not be understanding the data, hence why I'm here.
When I look at the Android usage it says screen % and wifi % etc. And the other usage says apps usage. My assumption is that if I add up all the % it should equal what battery I've used. Example if I've used 10% screen, and 10% wifi and 10% on Reddit I should be at 70% battery left, right? But that's not what any battery app tells me, I'd like to see all the information.
Or am I asking for too much from a smartphone?

Hey guys,
I have been looking for an accurate battery app that shows battery drain for every % level. I have tried many different apps that claim to show each % drop, but these apps tend to show every 10% drop, not every 1% drop. Unless I'm doing something wrong, does anyone know of an app that will actually show each % drop? I am trying to monitor my battery drain, now that I am on GB, and an app like this would help a lot. Apologies if this has been brought up in an older thread.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I decided to go with CherryBlur, and the % drain indicator works.
i am using my mobile for 2 months but there was no problem in past but now its making battery problem
Android Os Usage is 25 % and Android System is also 25%
So times Android OS usage will 8-10 percent otherwise 25% all the time
i have tried:
Changing Os Version
Factory Reset ETC ETC
BetterBatteryStats
Install BetterBatteryStats and find out what processes are draining your battery.
Better Battery Stats is the app to use.
For me, it turned out that turning of keyboard sounds etc made a big difference.
was facing the same issues.. for me it turned out to be Google latitude, signed out of it and now its back to normal
Hi,
If, say, I use some app for 10 minutes, which uses alot of battery. And the phone was just after the boot. And then it shows App 80%, Cell Standby 10% and Phone Idle 10%. Shouldn't App start decreasing once I quit it? Why doesn't it?
To the best of my knowlege that number is telling you what percent of your battery has been used on apps (out of your total amount used).
For example, if you had used 10% of your battery and your phone is saying you have spent 80% of that on apps then that meants that the apps have used up 8% of your total battery.
Does that answer your question?
Ok guys i found a big problem with battery in xperia sp ! Batter battery stats showed a process called *backup* running all the time in partial wakelocks ! Well i can also say that in 5 hours 7 percent o battery were consumed ! If you have this problem go to settings-backup and reset and uncheck everything ! Then reboot your phone and put in charge untill its 100% leave it there for 1-2 hours
magicaly my android system process from 65% dropped to 30 % (sometimes less)
good luck
That is most likely the backup function from Google. It will create some list with the latest apps installed so that after a reset or reflash the apps will be installed automaticly.
There is no Android System in my list so that is or may not be your cause.

dude this 63 percent and after unchecking backup it went 30 percent and better battery stats sayd a process called backup wass consuming the battery !
Dude, it is perhaps an idea to upgrade to 4.3
And man. 11 hours and 36 minutes. You lost 12% charge only. This means that the only thing that would drain battery most is Android system because it means you barely used screen or apps. It's common sense. So it's no surprise your android system consumed so much

well i remember my xperia p holding 7 hours with 100% but okk
Devices are diffrent... Hardware is diffrent and battery is diffrent.
7 hours on 100% does not indicate a thing

because in fact that android System process is the very first process that android will start compared to regular apps/system apps ,thus it is also the first one you'll see taking much battery percentage in battery stats specially if the phone is fully charged then you pulled out the charger,the battery stats will reset and it will detect which eats most of the battery at that very moment which is obviously the system process,and you'll notice battery drain percentage will change depends on how you use your phone..
for example on the first 5 minutes the android system will take that 83% of battery consumption, the Media is 10%, Cell Stand-bye is 2%, Google Services is in the remaining 5% thus totalling to 100%, but if you play on the next minute (says Asphalt 8) for a few minutes..it will varies accordingly.. The Android System process is cut down to 62%,Media is 12%.Cell Standbye is 2%,Google Services is 8%, Screen is 6%,Asphalt 8 gets the remaining 10% of course totalling to 100%.
If your not using your phone that much then you will always see that android system is the one that eats most of the battery as it is the only heavy process running (compared to MEDIA & Cell Standbye,it is alwasy present)..
LOGIC??the battery drain percentage is a dynamic measurements of whats eating battery at that very the moment and it will varies depends on how you will use your phone the next minute, the percentage per app is the total of drained battery not the whole battery charge. Say for example you've got a charge of 85% left in your battery, The 100% total measurement of per app battery consumed percentage is that of 15% drained in your total full charge of 100%.
Edit: a detailed overview of what @Sadman Khan says.
For about a week I experience huge problem with my Z2. The battery drains like crazy. When I watch a youtube video for example it will lose at least 1% per minute. The other issue is charging. To fully charge the phone from let's say 20% to 90+% I'll need 6hrs+. Funny thing is when it's on charge and I use it it loses battery!!! I checked the power management and it turns out that the biggest consumer of battery is "Android system". It consumes around 30%. I'm prerry sure that the last time I checked the power management, before the issue, the Android system had around 8-9 consumption. I haven't installed anything that can cause such an increase, so I'm very confused.
Any help and/or explanation will be appreciated!

More info would help. What rom, what kernel. Are you rooted, do you have recovery, xposed etc? Screenshots would help also.
