[Q] Battery Drain

My x10 is losing all of its juice in maximum of 5 hours , I've bought a new battery from SE showroom but the brand new battery is also giving me the same bitter taste ..... I have tried various ROMs and presently flashed my fave ROM DONUT HD2 ROM based on GB......I also flashed stock GB 2.3 with new batterty but the same battery issue is noticed.
Its music port also stopped working from the day im experiencing this battery issue.
I calibrated the batteries , but also NO use.
In battery stats it shows that the maximum battery consumption is for Display and Cell Standbuy. NOW I have no idea what the hell is my phone problem , but i love it , so wanna fix it ANYWAY.
Please suggest me your valuable ideas.

What screen display timeout do you have? I have mine set to 2minutes.
What screen brightness do you have? I have mine set to the lowest setting as I'm indoors mostly.
However, it doesn't really matter if you have a short screen timeout.
Do you have 3G mobile data, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and Google Maps with Latitude/location tracking all turned on?
The battery can be drained in low/poor mobile cell areas.
The phone boosts the receiver to get a signal which all takes power.
If you have no or very poor 3G mobile data signal, it'd be best to disable 3G mobile data when in poor signal area(s).
In the battery History display (Settings->About->battery use), tap on the graph to display battery status.
This will show you the signal strength of the battery over the time from the last full charge.
If the phone signal strength indicates red/yellowish that's not good, dark grey/green is good.
A new battery should be charged to 100% and left to continue charging for approx 8-12 hours.
The charging cuts out at 100% and then drops back to ~93% and then charges again.
Leaving it for 8-12 hours on the first 4-5 charges help the battery find it's maximum charge.
Any new battery may not provide it's maximum charge for the first 4-5 charges.
I found Google Play Store GSam Battery Monitor a very good indicator of process and battery usage. Also shows percentage of cell signal strength state.
Look for "View time held awake" and "View number of times waking device" in the applications section.
If you have root access, you can run something like Google Play Store SetCPU and have a screen-off profile which can under-clock the CPU when the screen is not on. Using a Powersave Governor can massively improve battery life when the phone is in standby state and/or not in use.
You can use Google Play Store CPU Spy Plus to verify that when the screen is off the phone is going into 'deep sleep' for most of the time.
I get approx 60-70% of the time spent in 'Deep Sleep'.
I know on my 1800mAh battery in my XPERIA X10i gets 3hrs 17mins when CPU is at 100% and screen on 100% brightness, with 19% of the battery still left.
In 'normal' operation I get from 1 - 5 days of battery life.
I have had 10 days when I didn't use the phone, with WiFi forced active at 8:00am once a day and email(5 accounts), whatsApp and weather widget active.
In 24hr period when not using my phone, it uses approx 7-9% of battery(1800mAh).
should CPU rate decreased????
THANKS for your REPLY
I set my Network Mode to ONLY GSM , switched OFF location services (GPS,Maps,G altitude,etc etc) and my screen Brightness is ZERO , time out is 30 seconds. And i've been living in the same place since 3 years and it is not the problem of the network.
From your suggestions it is clear that , we (x10 users) should not use x10's at 100% CPU.I should NOW try this.
I got a 1500mAh battery in the box when I bought my x10 and the battery I bought when i messed up with old battery (I thought that the old one is damaged) ) was also a same 1500mAh battery.
The apps(EXCEPT GSAM battery Monitor) you have suggested me were also used by me in the past and Im actually fedup with the battery.
Now i will try to underclock the CPU rates at screen OFF mode and use GSAM battery monitor App.
ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.

The 100% CPU was an AnTuTu battery stress test know as Google Play Store AnTuTu Tester
This tests the battery use from 100% down to ~20%, calculating how long it would last.
Using a 1500mAh battery the AnTuTu Tester should return approx 2hrs 45mins on a battery operating at the same capacity as my 1800mAh battery.
I still really enjoy my XPERIA X10i and use it daily, probably helped by the fact I have a 64GB SanDisk Ultra card in it.

Huawei Mate 10 Battery Drain Problem

I bought this Huawei mate 10 In China from a retailer store, it costed 4299 RMB. I've been using it for Youtube and instagram and for some reason, the battery drain is going down alot. I'm not sure if its the battery problem or the quality of efficiency or the power drain from apps. I lose around 1% Every 5-10 minutes on Instagram and SOT takes up alot of battery as well.
Screen - 24.42%
Phone Idle - 10.03%
Mobile Standby- 6.38
Youtube - 22.45% - 697.69mAh
Instagram - 14.46% - 449.29 mAh
Spotify - 3.63% - 113.05 mAh
The phone is currently at 48% Brightness is around 20% , I only have WLAN turned on and phone on Vibration and Auto rotate. Location information is turned off.
Is it just the apps draining so much, or the efficiency or the actual battery being messed up

Charging after 70%

I have both redmi note 3 and Redmi note 4. In both phones, i am on dotOS 2.4. I noticed that note 3 turns down the charging speed after 70 % and last 30% takes nore than an hour. But redmi note 4 takes less than an hour to be fully charged. It it a kernel issue? Any fix for it?
the kernels protect your battery with chargers...
when your charge is low or high charger amperage is low, with this your battery has better life time.
In miui when i bought my phone the battery charge time is very low but this is bad.
if you can charge your phone to 80% and no more... and use until 10% your battery can work more years.
(when you charge a battery try to no use the phone or no much)
this if your battery can reach a day use with 80% to 10% aprox.

Battery charging at 4,300mV is healthy?

Charging the poco fone using the bundled charger charges at around 4,300 mV. Is it healthy for the phone battery?? I use accubattery app and it shows this voltage in red colour, which makes me concerning about the longetivity of the battery life...
POCO F1 supports Quick Charge 3.0 featuring INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage), which allows for a fined tuned power output and a more optimized charging cycle.
INOV has the added benefit of being able to dynamically adjust the charging voltage over the battery charging cycle. As a battery charges up, it slowly draws less and less current, which is partly why it takes longer to charge the last 20 percent than the first. Qualcomm states that its new technology allows the phone to request just enough voltage to reach the desired charge current, thereby maximising efficiency.
This is useful as it reduces the amount of energy wasted during charging. Previously, extra power not used to charge the battery would be lost as heat, warming up your phone and reducing the longevity of the battery. By exerting more control over charging efficiency, less power is wasted, resulting in less heat.

Thanks. But Qualcomm doesn't say anything about the health of the battery.i have observed the phone during charge Cycles. It charges at higher voltage and slightly warm. But I'm concerned about the li-po battery longetivity. I would even switch to a 5v- 2Amp charger to increase the Life Span of my device as it takes around 30 - 40 minutes more which isn't a much difference as I have that much time to charge unless necessary...

i used the accu battery and it shows the estimate capacity 91 percent in 30 session , can u share your stat pliz ,
its only been 4 month with poco f1 and the battery degrades so badly

Charging slowly the battery does not means that you are increasing lifespan of the battery. Charging slowly means high temperature for longer time = Less lifespan. I suggest to use a QC4+. It keeps temperature lower than every other charger. I'm using it since 3 months and temperature on charge is ~30-32 degrees on idle and ~36 while using it

Question Realme GT battery life

I'm not really satisfied with battery life of my less than two months old Realme GT 12/256 GB.
What is your average screen on time on this phone?
Mine would be in the 3.5-5 hours range in a day and a half, maybe more if I watch a movie or something.
I'm not playing games and only have Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook... usual stuff.
I didn't see any tanglible difference between "auto" and 60 Hz screen mode regarding battery life.
Also, what percentage of battery drain do you see overnight?
I'm on latest firmware, tried every possible battery saving combination, but always have at least 3% battery drain overnight (usually around 4% in 7-8 hours) and that with radio and all apps off and various battery saving settings applied (global and per app).
I'm starting to believe it's "normal" for this phone and its SD 888 chipset.
Thanks.
Same
I have very similar results as you. Battery life is just ok.
Current battery life:
from 93% to 28% in 1d 19h, SOT: 3h 15min.
Before this I had Poco F3 for a month or so and I don't recall exactly, but it was something like a 1%, 2% max. drain overnight with pretty much the same usage pattern.
Also I have Lenovo tablet with far weaker MTK CPU but not much bigger battery (5000 mAh and 10.3'' screen) and that one almost doesn't use battery in standby mode (beats all phones I had).
I'm currently disabling various apps and testing and I'll post here if I find out something useful.
Optimized standby - Ultra standby makes exactly no difference in my current setup so I turned it off completely.
Quick device connect is also turned off and not in use, as far as I can tell.
