If you battery power goes below 50% thats when the problem starts. Is there away to get the right juice to the radio at all times ?

I'm not sure thats actually the case, but perhaps. I may try it.
My battery level has never been below 60% as I am anal about having a charging source near by. The Radio Reset Issue is directly related to certian Programs (or versions thereof) and how they force connections to the internet.
Please anyone reading this. please lets try it out. please post your results back. Lets see if you can still get constant and good signal if your batery is below 50% .
and also if your having battry problems. like your phone sometimes refuses to charge. I think that it could be the battery. please lets all see.
My battery level is currently at a little under 40%. I have a full 5 bars of service and sound quality is the same as if the phone were at 100% (I called my voicemail and a friend to test it out)

Thanks for helping
i never had any problems with the signalstrenght and battery health,
even with 10% or less i still have maximum signal strength..
but i live nearby a cellbroadcast-antenna, so maybe that's why
Here's an update. My battery life is at 29% and still no drop in call quality. I just had a 10 minute convo with somebody and she could hear me perfectly fine.
Thanks. From my observations, at least with me, If your loosing signals and you notice it happens when your battery is below 50%, or sometimes when you try to charge your mda and the battery refuses to charge, Then its the battery.
Get a new battery.
Thanks for those that helped.

Going off the Signal Topic
WONT IT AFFECT BATTERY LIFE?
I mean Li-ion Polymers dont have a memory problems but once in a while u gotta drain them completely.
What u say? Maybe I am wrong

Okay I'll admit that there have been 2 times in the 6 months I've have my phone that my battery accidently went flat but otherwise I can count on one hand the number of time it has been below 60%. I've had it off the charger for hours and my battery is just fine. Even had a two hour call once without being plugged-in using my BT headset. Still plenty of juice when I hung-up the call.
Great !
Dont know where But I read it at the P910 Forum somewhere.
A user had his phone charging on the cradle.
The moment he got a call, he picked up to answer that.
The call lasted for barely 5 mins.
After the call he put it back on the Cradle.(for charging)
SINCE THEN he says" the battery went KAPUT !
He says that an expert told him that he should have waited to Recharge the battery a BIT more than 10-15 mins allowing the batt. to cool down a Bit.
If this si the case None of the MANUALS MENTION THIS EVER and these people do Provide warranties too...
Funny.......

I'm using ARHD GE 3.0, Bulletproof kernel, GPS off, WiFi off, Bluetooth off, low brightness, Google sync off, almost no apps and yet it drains for no reason! It doesn't even last 4 hours of screen time. Please help.
My usage is based on Whatsapp messaging [90% of the time] and sometimes surfing Chrome for very short periods.

Android battery stats are the internet's new p***s measuring contest. It's possible to game the stats by monkeying with the settings so your phone isn't actually doing anything but sit there with the screen on at lowest brightness. Doesn't mean anything.
4 hours with normal configurations and usage seems fine to me.

And what about this: sometimes I charge to 100%, then when I use it for a minute it goes down to 99%, then I leave it for 5 minutes and it's suddenly 95%? It should take 1% per 3-4 minutes.

I've seen that happen with my phone sometimes, especially if it's been sitting on the charger at full charge for a while.
If it's continually dropping at that rate you have a problem, but I think there is something quirky with the battery voltage that confuses Android's battery calculations when you pull it off the charger. The phone trickle-charges the last 5% or so, and I think sometimes may stop short of true 100%, or stop charging altogether and let it drain a bit even on the charger. Plug it back in and charge to 100% and it seems to fix it.
Hi!
I've searched the forum but didn't find a straight answer. What's your battery life?
Mine, having no apps, few notifications, black face and always on get just 13h. And that's frustrating. My unit it's just three day's old and if this is the expected performance I will return it at once. What do you think?
Thanks!
I'm getting over 2 full days easy. But I also have enough ambient mode turned off so the screen is completely off, unless I get a notification or am using it.

Just a update before I put my watch on the charger.
2PM on the 19th to 8:35PM on the 21st
I usually get 2-3 days with moderate usage. Always-on screen enabled seems to be about the same as when it is disabled for me so I leave it enabled now. However, my watch screen does shut off from 0000-0650 hrs everyday. If you aren't playing with your watch a lot then 13 hours seems unreasonable.
I just checked mine : 72% remaining after 13 hours. Always on enabled - used lightly (notifications and some small utilities). I'm charging it every evening though .. just to have it 100% in the morning.
Thanks!
After a watch reboot it seems I'm getting a couple of days of battery life. I imagine I had some mysterious app depleting my battery. So I'm keeping the watch.
I have also experienced poor performance of my LG G Watch R. It will drop from 100% to 0% charge in 4-6 hours. When I look at the AndroidWear log, it shows about 15-30% power drop over various applications. I am then questioning where the other 70% power drop has gone.
This is extremely frustrating. When the Bluetooth is off on my phone, the power drop is as expected - a few percent every hour.
Anybody else have this issue? Could it be my phone? I have a Galaxy Note 3 on the Verizon network.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
B.D.
Yes, I also had the issue today, already for the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks. Something happens and the battery starts depleting quickly ...
Any idea how can I see which apps have caused this rapid battery drain? Someone mentioned android log ...

I'm getting 2-3 hours of battery life. I've had the watch for less than 24 hours. I realize once an update is done battery life isnt optimal for a day or two on Android but this is nuts. I have screen always off and haven't installed any apps. I'm gonna give it to Monday and If I'm still seeing this drain, It's going back to Google.

I read recently that there is a bug in the battery meter when watch is shipped. It will show 100% then drop very quickly for first few days. I've had mine nearly two weeks and I get through a shift at work (8hrs) with 60%+ remaining. I work nights so I keep brightness set at 1 which probably helps. Hope it gets better after a few cycles.
Hi,
I have problem with my Xperia Z3+ (E6553, firmware version 32.2.A.0.305 rooted). I use it everyday, and I don't use it a lot (about 1-2h SOT), but still my wakelocks are very high, and I can't target them. After a day of use, my battery is about 10-30 %, and this is below expectations. I have WIFI, NFC turned off for most of the time, the bluetooth module is active to connect with Smartwatch (Sony SW2), and transmission is always on.
I also use Amplify and Greenify.
According to BetterBatteryStats, in Kernel Wakelocks, I have 45 min of PowerManagerService.WakeLocks (which is sum of all partial wakelocks):

, but in Partial Wakelocks its about 15 mins. Also I'm aware, that some of the partial wakelocks are triggered at the same time:
also I include screenshot of Alarms - there are lots of it, but it doesn't show duration:
, and process:
So, my question is: what is consuming the power, what's with "lost" wakelock time, and how to measure it?
I also send screenshot from WakeLock Detector:
and system battery usage:
Please help, because I have 3000 mAh battery in smartphone, I do nearly nothing on it, and my battery is depleted after less than day.
Tbh I don't really see a problem here. I might be wrong, but 5%/hr drain with bt and sync always on and light usage seems completely normal to me.
Only thing I can suggest is to disable amplify for a few days and see if you blocked something you weren't supposed to, but i'm skeptical that you'll find anything wrong. That bt is triggering alarm more than every minute...can you post cpu states bbs page?

Well I disabled Amplify and we'll see what it changes.
BT is triggering alarm very often probably because of Smartwatch, but I can't target any specific app for SW2 that could do it.
Also I wonder, what's with other Kernel Wakeloks such as qpnp_fg_memaccess, netmgr_wl, or event1 to event6?
I'm sending today's screenshots from BBS including processor stats:
Are you new to this phone? Are you comparing it to what you had before?
In my experience 4.5% /hr drain with 90min screen on time doesn't really seem like it has anything wrong. After 12hrs (a full day) you have half battery left and that's not bad based on what i'm used to...
Phone was on for 2hrs with screen off but thats probably due to bt and smartwatch sync..I have trouble finding anything wrong here :/ maybe somebody else will have better insight

Well I tried to turn off smartwatch, and "awake on screen off" dropped down to 10%... (from about 20%). So I think it's smartwatch related. Also bluetooth alarm dropped off to 4/h instead of 1 per min. I don't believe, that smartwatch synchronization is consuming so much power (if so, there would be already several threads about it), and I suspect one of smartwatch apps. But how to check which app exectly is draining power? It doesn't show on BBS nor WakeLock Detector. Is there some other app that can track it?
I'm sending list of smartwatch apps installed - maybe one of them looks to you suspicious?:
Hi everyone,
I'm coming to you with a random problem which I can't reproduce. Over the 2 past years, I had it about 2 times but I had to wake up at 5 am.....
Here's the explanation :
I'm putting my phone on charge, the alarm (The app AMDroid) is supposed to ring at 5 am but sometimes it doesn't. When i'm finally waking up, I'm finding the phone blocked. Black screen, no sound, no response to physical buttons (volume, power) or fingerprints. I'm forced to reboot it with the volume up + power off keys.
I really don't understand from where comes the problem. I already had when I was using the regular sony alarm app and as I said above I can't reproduce the bug which is kind of embarassing when I have to get up early...
I hope you'll be able to help me,
Thanks !
Bump !
I just had this happen to me this morning, and solved it with the same procedure.
I noticed this morning when I woke up that the device was extremely hot, potentially a temperature failsafe kicked in?
If that were the case, I have no idea what would be causing it. Presumably something has the CPU pegged at max load.
I may try to dig for logs, but I'm not familiar with how to do this on Android.
Hi Telomeres, thanks for your comment !
Two quick questions :
- do you have the fingerprint unlock feature enabled ? (do you have at least one fingerprint recorded)
- si you have the battery maintenance (i don't know the exact name in English) enabled ?
I'm trying to pinpoint the problem, so far i have those only two options..

I do have the fingerprint unlock enabled, despite being the US. My guess was that I was accidentally shipped an international version somehow? I did not go through any measures to enable this on my own.
If you're talking about "battery care" where the device slows down your charge rate to increase longevity, yes I do have that enabled.
Your information about the battery overheating is making me think about the battery care. I don't have regular schedules so this option activates kinda randomly just like the problem pops out.
I'm asking you that about the fingerprint because i saw a thread where someone said the fingerprint sensor was at fault.
Unfortunatly for us, we both have the same settings hahaha
Actually, on checking my settings Battery Care was disabled and I believe that setting persists through reboots. However, I did not have my phone charging overnight. I don't recall what percent my battery level was before bed.
Damn. So close to find a clue !
Happened again overnight last night.
I had battery care enabled this time.
I really don't understand from where comes the problem ; we both have a totally different setup and ways of use/charge our phones :/
I'm having the same issue...... I'll see if I can get get some logs..... I do use battery care and stock alarm..... Twice in the month of October ive nearly been late for work because my phone locks up, charge light remains amber but is full (no excessive heat) and I have to force reboot
I had the same kind of lockup like 5 times now in the last two month. Last lockup was tonight with the September security update.
This happened to my phone twice recently, but my phone was NOT charging.
Last time it happened, I went to bed before midnight, my phone was at about 70% battery, so I decided not to plug it in. I put the phone on a shelf beside my bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning (I don't use phone alarm, rely on my smartwatch for that), the phone was unresponsive, black screen, needed to long press VolUp + Power buttons to reset it. I'm not sure when I plugged it in - before or after the reset, but the battery was basically flat. I took a screenshot of the battery chart that morning, which seems to tell that the phone has been dead for most of the night. As you can see in the screenshot, the battery line is natural until after midnight and then it's just a straight flat line until the morning. This leads me to think maybe it's a battery problem?

The device is new, has only 2 weeks of use and I've updated it to MiUi 12.5.6 (RKLEUXM). My use is very moderate, some videos, social network just for conversations and only wi-fi connection. After the update, I noticed high battery usage even when I'm sleeping with all connections turned off. Obviously there is some battery thief, but it only appears in the graph as "smartphone services", this is not normal. Any idea?
I can even feel the phone a little warm around the cameras when I'm using it for basic stuff.

Try battery guru's app...
It's seem a 12.5 MIUI problem for all Xiaomi note 10 series
Something(s) are running in the background.
Try putting into Safe mode at night to rule out 3rd party apps.
Track down the culprits and deal with each on a case by case basis.
I have this device since August 27th, after setting it up, I started optimizing it, restricted background use for a lot of apps, well, everything that could be disabled or restricted, I only gave free pass to apps I consider important, but, the reults were really bad, 17% of overnight drain! Long story short, the optimization must be done very carefully, trying to stop all kind of things might prove negative, by trial and error, I now get a good battery life, now it barely consumes 1% in 8-9 hrs idling at night, aod off, wifi on, gps on, so, try to optimize your device carefully

Hi,
Did you single out what was the culrpit. I have disabled every non essential app, tried this solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/improving-battery-life-on-miui-12.4139913/
But nothing helps. It only shows that android system is drawing power.
I will be glad if you could point what you made to fix your phone
If there is any Firewall that can log with the newer "secure" OS's you can use that to help pinpoint the rogue apk(s).
With Pie I use Karma Firewall but it's logging feature doesn't starting with 10.
After doing everything I could think of, the AOD seems to be the culprit, even thoug I really like it, when disabling it, overnight battery consumption lowered to 1% in a 7 hrs period

Is tap on an option?
No, to achieve this low bat comsuption, I disabled miui optimizations, then, the option for aod is on or off, no more settings, I really like the aod, but the drain while idling drives me nuts... I painfully miss my galaxy note 10+.....
Meh, I hear that. It's to the point I got a second new 10+ while they're still available. They are the last of the stock devices running on Q.
I won't touch 11 or 12. Funny thing is it doesn't run like an outdated dinosaur.
Been a real bad year for Android...
