airplane mode - battery drain - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am experiencing strange issue with airplane mode. My nexus one is loosing about 2% / hour when in airplane mode. In standby mode energy drain is similar. Have any of experienced same issue ? Nexus one is unlocked using method "Root FRF91/FRF85B/FRF83/FRF72 (T-Mo/AT&T) Without Unlocking (100% Working) ". I've tried different Roms, kernels etc, no luck. I'll appreciate help from your side. Thanks.

Download spareparts and check whats using the most battery..
I get around 1% to 3% in 7 to 8 hours.
Also be sure that you "close" games/apps with the back button, not with the home button..

I have the same problem.
I turn on the airplane mode all days at the same time (00h) with the battery at 100% and when i wake up (07:15h) my battery is about 90%

Is your nexus one unlocked the same was as mine ? "Root FRF91/FRF85B/FRF83/FRF72 (T-Mo/AT&T) Without Unlocking (100% Working) " ?

No, mine is Vodafone Spain with EPF21B->FRF91.
I have this problem in Eclair too

I've orderd second battery, should have it tommorow, will report if it's resolve the issue.

Unless I'm missing something, I doubt this is an issue with the battery itself.

I've tried everything, on a stock 2.1 rom phone do the same... On hero night battery drain on airplane mode was 1% for 8 hours...

So you've excluded the possibility an app is doing this?

I find it odd you have a question about battery usage and haven't mentioned what the actual battery usage page (Settings > About phone > Battery usage).
Charge your phone completely then unplug on airplane mode and leave it sit overnight. See how much your battery goes down and what the Battery usage page shows is using your battery.
It'd be silly to talk about this any further without knowing this basic information.

Here is Battery usage after 11 hours in airplane mode /battery lost 18%/:
(Settings > About phone > Battery usage).
Phone idle 61%
Display 33%
Android System 4%
Spare parts:
Cpu usage:
Android system
android.process.acore
settings
suspend
akmd
mediaserver
clock
partial wake usage:
Android System
Clock
UID 10053
Dialer
Do you have any ideas ?

Is anyone able to help me?

I tried to look up some exact information on what items are considered Phone Idle. Like most things Android, it's next to impossible to find any official documentation on the matter, just a lot of forum postings of users guessing.
First, let's make sure we understand what we're seeing. After 11 hours you lost 18%. That is about 1.6% per hour on average. Now if we use that to calculate an average per hour % loss per app it would be:
Phone idle: 61% of the 1.6%/hour = 1.0%/hour
Display: 33% of the 1.6%/hour = 0.5%/hour (although it doesn't make much sense to think of display usage over all time)
Android System: 4% of the 1.6%/hour = 0.1%/hour
I'm wondering if you have an app installed that has very aggressive update settings? At this point all I can do is guess since I don't really know what Android considers part of the "Phone Idle" group, but if Android had to constantly start up a service maybe that would build. I would think the service getting started would appear in your battery usage though.
Additionally, do you still have GPS turned on, and do you use anything like Latitude that constantly tries to ping a server about your location?

I decided after writing my last reply I would charge my phone up fully and then let it drain with my normal usage to see how it compares to your airplane mode usage.
Used with light usage and listening to music for 3 hours and 55 minutes. Battery drained 21% (seems higher than usual, not sure why). That works out to be 5.4% per hour. The battery usage showed the following:
Wifi: 27% = 5.7% of battery, 1.5% per hour
Cell Standby: 21% = 4.4% of battery, 1.1% per hour
Phone Idle: 19% = 4.0% of battery, 1.0% per hour
Display: 15% = 3.2% of battery, 0.8% per hour
Android System: 6% = 1.3% of battery, 0.3% per hour
Media Server: 4% = 0.8% of battery, 0.2% per hour
Android OS: 2% = 0.4% of battery, 0.1% per hour
Last.fm: 2% = 0.4% of battery, 0.1% per hour
Music: 2% = 0.4% of battery, 0.1% per hour
So the most interesting thing here is that my Phone Idle actually worked out to be the same per hour battery loss that yours did. I have everything turned on except for bluetooth and have Latitude reporting my location in the background. I also run other background services such as the last.fm music scrobbling, news&weather updates, foursquare notifications, twitter notifications, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

Display battery issue

My battery drains ready and if I unplug it at 6am it won't last me past 4pm. I use my phone lightly mainly just texting. On the battery usage app it says 92 percent beside the display. I use the lowest setting for brightness. I currently have andromeda 1.0rom on my rogers captivate. Previously I had the cognition 3.04 but still the same problem. I've tried deletingbattery stats through recovery menu. I also tried calibrating the battery. Wifi is used instead of mobile network. Gps is off. Bkuetooth is off. Emails set to push (i read somewhere that push is more energy efficient than autosync)
Could this be a hardware issue? Any idea on what I should do about my problem?
How much actual usage does your phone get? 10 hours of battery life is abnormal unless you have like 4 hours of screen time.

Well you can check your screen time by going into the battery stats then pressing Display.
Other than that, it'll tell you how long you've used voice calls and stuff as well.

You can check your actual screen time by tapping the "Display" entry in the Battery Use screen. That will tell you how many minutes your screen has actually been turned on.
I have a similar problem: My screen seems to use a TON of battery power, and it's almost always over 93% or for battery draw. I don't see a huge difference in power use between minimum brightness and automatic.
I tend to use the internet and text/email heavily, but I'm wondering if even that could account for the insane battery use. Today, I unplugged my phone at around 6:40 am. By noon it was at 1%.
Before I started using custom ROMs, I could usually make it to 4 with what I considered heavy use. Now, I can't make it past lunch time. I've done the battery calibration, bump charging, deleted battery stats, and discharged the battery to shutdown before charging fully. The screen power draw has persisted through two ROMs and three kernels. I'm wondering if my usage pattern has just changed this much, because I can't find any hardware or firmware issue to account for this.

Yea our problem is pretty close, if not then identical. I'm using it moderately and its at 10% right now.unplugged it since 6am. Ive tried a lot of different methods to try to fix my issue to but still nothing.
A few minutes ago, I checked my battery use. Here's how it played out:
Unplugged for 58 minutes
Screen on time 28 minutes 3 seconds
84% battery left
92% of power used by the screen
Do these stats look normal for screen power draw? This is what I'd call heavy use (I've been reading forums), but should the battery be draining this fast?

I have no idea. thats what i want to find out. heres mine...
66%battery
9h27m52s since uplugged
display - 76% --- time on: 1h23m22s
wifi - 13% --- time on: 9h26m51s
cell standby - 8% --- time on: 9h27m42s
phone idle - 4$ --- time on: 8h4m29s
any idea? i slept at 3am and woke up at 930, but didnt charge the phone.
Before i slept the phone was around 72%, and when i woke up it was around 70%. from the time i unplugged it to the time i slept it went down from 100 to ~72% under moderate use.
are these numbers right to you?? the only thing i am worried about is my display consumption that seems to be killing the most. Also, wifi uses less battery than 3g/edge right? so i shouldnt have a problem leaving that on. even when im not using it.

That seems like regular battery life there. If your phone is reading your battery accurately, that means you would be getting almost 30 hours with pretty decent usage before it dies.

Here is another update. tell me what you think.
29% left
13h13m49s since unplugged
85% on display -- 2h 52m 44s
7% on wifi -- 10h 7m 44s
6% on cell standby -- 13h 13m 40s
3% on phone idle -- 10h 21m 4s
It doesn't even show me my voice calls and 3g usage. weird.
also, do you know if the timestamp on you batterystats.bin is supposed to change? is that normal? or does it mean my batterystats is wiping on its own?

I believe the timestamp is supposed to change with batterystats.bin being updated. The only way it is wiped is if the file is deleted completely.
And still, that seems about right to me. 3 hours of display is a fair bit. In a regular day I normally see about 30 minutes of display usage.

wow really? 30 minutes of display is like bascially not touching the phone at all.
Is there a reason why the battery usage does not show my voice call usages and my data uses (mobile data, not wifi)
I feel like my battery life is... Less than ideal.
I'm going to be doing a few tests, unfortunately, it seems like my battery dwindles very quickly in 30% chunks, according to JuicePlotter.
One thing I've noticed that helps a lot is disabling your data network in general, unless you plan on using it.. You can still send/receive texts and phone calls, and that's primarily what my phone is for. It helps save a significant amount of battery.

Unfortunately, because I am waiting for some emails i cannot turn off my data network. my data network is on when i cannot get a wifi signal. I also feel that this battery is not ideal. I cannot last for more than 10hrs unplugged time if i unplug it when i wake up. if I unplugged it before i slept it would be a different story for obvious reasons
again, any help is and will be greatly appreciated
Here's more stats (running Cog 3.04, Gen X 1.14 theme, stock kernel)
Unplugged for 16h 22m 40s
69% battery life
38% display: 41m 24s
23% voice calls: 29m 39s
21% wi-fi: 16h 22m 40s
13% cell standby: 16h 22m 40s
7% phone idle: 15 h 41m 16s
It seems like I can easily get around 40 hours of battery life here, but obviously I'm in the light usage market, although I do use my phone to make a lot of calls.
In the past, I found that running different modems and kernels (specifically DG's Firebird 2 kernel) drained my battery life faster. While I loved the extra power and features (Voodoo sound specifically) the drain on my battery life was not so hot (see above specs but my battery percentage would be closer to 30% than 70%). I recommend returning back to stock via ODIN, see what your battery life looks like, then adding a custom ROM, seeing what your battery looks like, then kernels, then modem. That way you'll find the source of your problem. If your battery still drains heavily on stock, try a different (possibly new) battery. If its still doing the drain, it's gotta be hardware related and you might need a new phone.

Interesting, I was at 18% battery after 2 hours 45 minutes of screen time. 93% screen, 3% wifi, 2% cell standby. I'm starting to think that a) the screen really does just use a lot of power and b) my battery is becoming deficient.

Xperia SP battery issue?

Hi
I think I might have an issue with the battery on an xperia sp which I got a few days ago. When idle with stamina on it's loosing between 1-2% per hour. I've used Gsam and recorded some stats to show what's using up the battery when the phone is not in use. Hope it makes some sense
loosing ~2% per hour phone in idle screen off
Stamina on, GSM only
Tried airplane, not much difference
Tried Stamina off, no difference
Charged to 95%
61% @ 10:16PM
34% battery use - of that
screen 56.3% (1hr 47min)
phone radio 6.5%
wifi 3.7%
apps 33.3%
TOTAL DRAIN ON BATTERY
-------------------
19% screen (avg 0.18% per minute)
2% phone radio
1.2% wifi
11% apps
____________________________________________
13 HOURS IDLE LATER - 17-20% BATTERY GONE
____________________________________________
44% @ 11.04AM(QUICKLY DROPPED TO 41% in around 2
minutes)
51% battery use - of that
screen 49.8% (1hr 48min)
radio 13.1%
wifi 7.4%
apps 29.6%
TOTAL DRAIN ON BATTERY
-------------------
screen 25.4% (WHY THE INCREASE of 6.4% when OFF all the time?)
radio 6.6% (+4.6%)
wifi 3.78% (+2.58%)
apps 14.8% (+3.4%, not sure why, stamina turns off all apps?)
6.4 + 4.6 + 2.6 + 3.4 = 17%
Why are these using up so much power in idle with stamina mode on?
Hello,
remove your simcard, reboot, got in to flightmode and let Wifi enabled.
now let phone unused for 8hours. its all Ok then accu should drain only 0,05%/h.
This is my XSP which i use only as alarmclock an every day 1 hour as Musicplayer.
I have tried without the sim card but it didn't do anything.
I notice in your screenshot though that there is no connection to 'mobilfunknetzsignal' ... mine is there even when the sim card is out, how did you get rid of it?

You must enable the flightmode under "settings->network->more" .
and then please install BetterBatteryStats to see if you have wakelocks and your device go in to deepsleep after turn of the screen.

Ah yes.. I tried flight mode one night and it still lost 15%
I have also used wakelock detector and it says phone is in deep sleep 99 percent of the time but still the battery is draining 1-2% per hour
Right now the battery is 27% down from 44% 2 hours ago... and I have hardly used it. I'll recharge and try again without turning screen on at all and see whats using it up.
Is there any explanation why the screen used 6.4% of the battery overnight when it was off all the time?
I'm too having about same problem..and am really interested in answer/solution,,,
Please, anyone?
I think I have fixed it but not sure. Phone was charged 24 hours ago to 99%, now its 94%. Definitely not using alot of power with stamina mode now but the screen was only used for 5-10 minutes, I've yet to test if it acts the same after screen has been used for a long time before going idle.
What I did was run phone setup again and update all apps
Now 88% after 40 hours, screen on for 25 minutes. Xperias battery monitor and gsam show completely different usage, android system takes up the majority in the xperia one but only 10% in gsam (under apps)
I checked wakelock detector and something called 'syncloopwakelock' was on for 4 and half hours. Is there any way to disable this? I already have auto sync in settings turned off.
A phone is meant to be used. Using it only from time to time to have as much standby time as possible is just a waste of a good phone.
I can get two days with heavy use. A lot of music, whatsapp, facebook and XDA Premium app..

I know, but there was a clear issue before as the battery was draining 20 percent overnight reducing the time I can actually use it. I was getting 5 hours screen on time one day, and only 2 hours the next. Just trying to make sure it has stopped, seems like it has
Would like to solve this syncloop thing though. I have no interest in syncing any accounts as I don't use them.
Simple fix
Change your rom, stock rom eats so much battery and has so many bloats, apps keep running in the background all sony apps.
MIUI is on jellybean and it gives me average of 1 day 20hours on normal use with wifi always on and sim card inserted..texting call and stuff
Problem has returned, woke up today to find battery under 50% and it was at least 75% when I went to sleep. Wakelock detector doesn't show anything and says phone was asleep all the time. Sony's battery graph though shows the phone was awake most of the time, but I can't find the cause in GSam or wakelock detector.
i think i have a idea. it can come from WiFi. there is a bug in all android 4.1. Set Wifi to allways on and deactivate/delete LocationBasedWiFi app from sony.
you can found it with BetterBatteryStats under Process.
Some screenshots
in this screenshoots the problem is not shown. When it comes from WiFi driver it is not a app that drain the accu, but a process.
The Line with awake in history details you can ignore, its buggy in 4.1.
I have searched through everything in Wakelock Detector and only process I found with alot of time is syncloopwakelock which is 4.5 hours. But this was already about 4 hours when battery was 85%
If I buy BetterBatteryStats will this show the problem? As you an see it drained at slow rate for 2 days then suddenly started dropping faster yesterday. I made no changes to Wifi settings, it is always on ... and I use Stamina mode.
Yes BBS will show the problem as "wifistatemachine", if the error should really be come from. you must not buy it, search on XDA for apk.
but if it come from your syncloopwakelock then i can not help.
Holy crap
I charged the phone to 96%, used it for 30 min (down to 92 percent) then went to sleep. Woke up and it was 28% and kept dropping !!! I've checked BBS, Gsam and I can't find the cause... again. After uploading these SS its at 12 percent.

Battery problems overnight after upgrade to 4.3

Before upgrading to 4.3 I would live the z1 with data, wifi and sync off overnight, only 2G would be on, and the phone would use less than 3% of battery.
After upgrade to 4.3 I am now getting inconsistent results, sometimes it is even using 1% per hour on 3G only and screen off.

Wait overnight when you're asleep and check the results in the morning. We can then get to the bottom of why your battery is draining so much. :good:

Ok thanks will post tomorrow
Hi again,
I think I found what is causing the drain: google localization services...
I repeat: wifi, gps, data and sync were all off, only 2G was on.
I attached 6 screenshots: 3 from better battery stats and 3 from localization settings (they are in Italian but I will trasnalte).
- Batt Stat 1: in 10 hours and 5 minutes it went from 99% to 94% with a rate of 0.5% per hour, the phone remained most of the time in deep sleep and was awake only 11 minutes
- Batt Stat 2: I see 3 kernel wakelocs on the top three positions: alarm_rtc, qpnp_soc_wake and powermanagerservice
- Batt Stat 3: at the top of partial wakelocks here we find LocationManagerService with 630 instances for 25 minutes, for an equivalent of 222%
Follow my location settings:
- Settings 1: in Localization Settings I have ACCESS TO MY POSITION enable, GPS disabled and ALLOW GOOGLE LOCALIZATION SERVICES enabled
- Settings 2: again here you can see how ALLOW GOOGLE TO ACCESS YOUR POSITION is enabled
- Settings 3: here in GOOGLE GEOLOCALIZATION (this is accessible either from maps or from G+ settings) you can see that ACCESS TO MY POSITION is enabled (and this reflects the same settings in Settings 1), in addition SHARE MY POSITION is enabled but POSITION HISTORY is disabled
I have to admint that localization settings in Android are not clear at all
I know that 0.5% per hour is not a lot, but trust before upgrade to 4.3 the drain was maybe 2% in 8 hours.
Thanks
anyone?
And have you tried disabling these along with location apps such as Google Maps and checking overnight drain again?

I am having the same exact settings than befire upgrade, thus means that localization settings were not draining in 4.2
In addition data and wifi is off so why would licalisation try so often?
Maybe a bug in 4.3 localization services?
Location based wifi setting is on in Power management?

It seems this is a general android problem, also an old one... mmmmmmmmm...
Will do some more google search, but till now in 3+ hours of serach I have found no solution...
Could please someone with 4.3 run the same test?
1. Install better battery stat
2. put phone in flight mode
3. put phone on charge for 5 minutes
4. unplug phone and let it saty for 6 or 8 hours overnight
5. run better battery stat and check the battery drain and rationduring the 6/8 hours and under partial wakelocks report the LocationmanagerService data
Thanks

I need help to minimise battery drain when not in use

Hi everyone,
The battery drain on my phone is atrocious, and I'm thinking it's a software related issue rather than hardware (phones aren't really my area, so this thinking isn't based on much). Now I don't use my phone much, and when in standby pretty much all of the toggles are turned off (no wifi, data, bluetooth, NFC). Yet even so, if I charge my phone and then unplug it before going to sleep, in the morning I'll only have 20-50% charge left. This is the most common outcome, though once or twice this drain hasn't happened and I've had 2 or 3 solid days of use.
As mentioned phones aren't really my area, but I've installed several apps (Doze, Gsam, Wakelock detector) and tried to lock everything down when not in use, without results.
I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.0-20160908, and Nova Launcher. I've got screenshots from Gsam, but not sure how to add them here (or where to upload them to link to them). Some of the details include (after being charged then not used till I took the screenshots):
Used 77% in 21h 9m (3.6%/h - 13h 54m Active)
Phone 0%
Screen 00:13:49 2%
Phone Radio 21:09:31 7%
Wifi Active 21:09:31 2%
Held Awake 13:40:30 12%
App Usage 76%
Then from App Usage breakdown:
Kernel (Android OS) 25.7% --> CPU Usage (Background Only) 2h 36m, Keep Awake 13h 35m
CyanogenMod System 20.6% --> CPU Usage (Background Only) 2h 5m, Keep Awake 26s, No of Wake Locks 233, No of times waking device 40
Phone Services 17.7% --> CPU Usage (Background Only) 1h 47m, Keep Awake 3m, No of Wake Locks 11107 --> Wakelock Detail: RILJ 3.6m (9884), ServiceStateTracker 15.5s (1223).
Let me know what details would be useful, and thanks in advance for any help. If flashing another rom or back to miui would be likely to fix things I'll do it. I have a few other minor niggles, but if this can be fixed I'd appreciate it.

Terrible battery drain cause by "video2" kernel wakelock

I'm hoping someone can assist me. I can't seem to find much information regarding the "video2" kernel wakelock.
I just charged my phone to 100% over night. I have only used it for about 19 minutes and the battery is at 75%.
I am rooted, on the latest OOS - stock; running xposed and magisk (latest versions)
I have forcedoze and leandroid running and I also use wakeblock to limit some wakelocks.
I use an app called WLD (Wakelock Detector) - to show me what wakelocks are being used and I see one in particular that is "video2". What could this be?
video2 shows 3h 28m x1244 in WLD
PowerManagerService.WakeLocks shows 6m 20s x407
All the other kernel wakelocks are under 1m
leandroid should be turning off my network settings when the screen is off, and only turning it on hourly for 60 seconds to get the occassional notifications if there are any and then turn off again.
I am normally connected to WiFi and my location services (GPS) is turned on as well, but as I mentioned, when it's not in use leandroid should be powering them off.
I'm trying to figure out what is using up over 25% of my battery only after 19 mins of use. When I go into settings to look at the battery I see the following:
Screen Usage since full charge - 19m
Android system - 4%
Phone Idle - 2%
Android OS - 2%
Cell standby - 1%
Screen 1%

Thanks for the response, I exported all the logs from BBS. I ended up charging my phone to 100% again and then just left it doze for a bit and once again it eats through the battery idle.
I hope these logs help.
I am uploading screenshots from my phones battery and the BBS screens.
I have left my phone idle since yesterday. SOT is only 3 mins and I'm down to 61%. I would really appreciate any help I can get.
Well, I assume for those who had a look over this thread, you were as baffled by this issue as I initially was.
After a lot of trial and error, I believe I resolved my issue. To help others (in case other users run into a similar issue as I), I will write up a detailed summary of what I did to fix the issue and the apps I used. For now a quick summary.
I would like to bring up an interesting fact, and I'm not sure if my scenario is just an anomaly, but it turned out that the reason I was having this issue is because of having "doze mode" enabled in the developer menu. Apparently this setting conflicted with the battery saving apps I run such as forcedoze and leandroid.
If you use custom apps to save battery, make sure you disable force doze on your OP3T. I did a few other changes on my phone, but after disabling this option, I saw an immediate difference in my phone battery when it was idle and screen off. I only lost 1% battery in about 5 hours, whereas before it seemed less than 1 hour.
