[Q] Battery drain - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My battery drain from 100 % to 96 % with 4 minutes of active screen??

My battery drain from 100 percent to 1 percent after 1 day usage with 6 hours on screen time. Please help. Oh wait batteries normally go down when in use.

Yeah, i'm still a bit neurotic with this :silly:

it depends, what are you doing with active screen? when i play coc my battery goes down fast.

Doesn't matter what he is doing. He cannot calculate the right consume of the battery just by see how long it go down 4%. The system did not set up properly yet and maybe he using at the same time, WiFi, Bluetooth and so on.
This thread is useless as there thousand out there.

You will need to see a complete cycle before you can assume that you have battery drain, like how much it goes down if left overnight, I personally only lose 1 - 2% overnight which is about right. But the second you fire up a game it will munch you battery, same as can be said for Wifi when downloading or setting up your phone, so if this is the first time you've used the handset, it's more than likely a little premature to say what your battery life is going to be like, give it a week and then see where your average 100% battery charge gets you, by all accounts a day and a half to two days is quite normal according to some users on XDA, but then that would depend on the user.
One thing I did find with the Z1 was that when gaming the average battery use is little higher than I was used to with previous phones.

You could try underclock your processor (I have clocked my processor at 1.5 Ghz) it will save you some battery. In addition you could try undervoltage but you must be extremely careful with voltages as very low could unstable your phone and very high can fry your phone (if you are newbie do not try it ).
These are some ideas it is your choice if you follow any of them not mine.

Battery Lifetime

Good Morning folks,
as some of you are already proud owners of a LG2x, I would like to know how the battery lifetime really is. Are you guys satisfied? How intensive are you using your device?
It would be nice, if you can describe what you are running, like wifi, gps and so on... pretty sure you know what to write to give me and the others a clear view on the battery lifetime ;-)
cheers,
Manuel
Yesterday I got the phone.
On very very very hard use it took me about 7 hours for the phone to be 0%. That is kinda good in my eyes.
Today I'm doing normal use, to see how the battery goes.
I withnised 100% tot around 60% went kinda fast, but from 60% till 0% took a while
So stay tuned for the today test.
I got the phone the day before yesterday started charging it. Then in the afternoon it was fully charged and i started to play around with it. It did good but then today i had it fully charged overnight and now - at around 15:00 it dropped below 15%! I hadn't been using it for other than a few calls, a few texts and less than 10 minutes fooling around.
Something is up - i don't know what, but the battery info shows most battery usage was drained due to cell standby and mobile standby...
I don't know what really caused this Other than that i love this phone, i just hope i find the reason for this insane drain soon - i tried rebooting and even installed advanced task killer

Hello, I cant really help much on the battery issue other than to say give it a few more cycles before getting too upset.
The last new battery I had in my iPhone took a week to really settle down.
I would uninstall advanced task killer as I believe it has issues with froyo and is not really needed.
Ok thanks - i think i will then
had the phone 2 days now, and feel like the battery drains fairly fast, had a BB before this and im not used to having to charge everyday. Will se how it goes the next couple of days.
Ok, it seems a lot of people already got their device. Is there someone who could try to unload (by heavy use or something else) and reload the battery again and again to get a feeling of the behavior after some loads?
Thanks!
Update: I have an update from a German guy for you who claims to found out that the service "nvrm_daemon" is the one which consumes the most power. Anyone an idea what it is? The "nv" in the name sounds like nvidia...

nvrm has something to do with the NVIDIA kernel module.

Yes, it seems related to Tegra.
I googled and found this little quote about the offending service on a site dealing with the Toshiba AC100 that also use the Tegra 2 chipset:
it makes suspend, sound and cpu frequency scaling work

Isnt it coz that dual core isnt supported very well in 2.2?
Should be fixed in 2.3.

48 hours.
Way better than the Nexus One. Not much more I can say.
Most importantly, not much more I will say on battery. It's too subjective and circumstance specific.

I should be clear - I do not mean +48 hours battery, I mean I have used the phone for only 48 hours... This includes charging.
But still, much better than my Nexus One. At the same time with the same apps and usage I have 40% and on my Nexus I would have 15%.
We all still need some days (~1 week) for the battery to settle.

okay in Eindhoven its in stock at a mobilephone shop. i seriously thought about to drive to the shop ... its about 260km from Paderborn
but lg said three days ago the 2x will be available end of next week. so now its up to amazon and its time to say goodbye to htc ... im really curious about the lg 2x
@xmoo thanks for your impressions of battery life. i was a little afraid of power consumption because of the dual core but that sounds fair
hi, 72 hours with the Optimus 2x and i have the same problem with the battery, it drains so fast!! with few use from 7am till 17pm 100%-32% !!! but i think today is better..
here in Antwerp,Belgium there is in stock at pdashop and gsmwijzer
kind regards

Ok i'm doing a real-life test atm after a few charging cycles.
What did I do/ have I on?
Have I on: Everything (gps, data, wifi (if possible),...)
What did I do: Some gaming, few youtube movies, few short calls, watching mails, some internet browsing, send a few texts.
I'm using the app : Juicedefender in combination with ultimatejuice (this prolonged my battery 2.14x!!!
How long? : Atm i'm using my cell (from full charge) for 44 hours and I still have 39% left! This means that i could get it to run for 3 days on 1 charge!
Note: this is after doing a few cycles, out-of-the-box use gets you the day around!

[Q] Battery Issue

I've been reading a lot on these forums, and no one has seemed to address ways to improve battery life on the LG Revolution. I just got this phone a week ago and I've been averaging 13 to 14 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use (applications, e-mail, texting, etc...).
Anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the battery life besides rooting it?
Is it worth rooting it now with Gingerbread rumored on the way?
Thank you all in advance.
personally..GB isnt available with Verizon yet..I would look for any leaks or anything that isnt officially supported..unless you wanna try it..turn BT off..use wifi when you can..turn screen brightness to 50 on the bar..try to look for battery saving apps on the marketplace..just a thought

I just got the Decrapified Rom on mine today, and am seeing some decently better battery life.(i used to get ~12hours anyway with some heavy usage)
Also...when I rooted and customized SetCPU a bit I saw much better battery life. I was able to clock down the CPU when the screens off, or when the battery is low, etc.
Just some thoughts for you

This helps battery life? I always thought wifi drained battery. But your saying wifi drains less battery than 4G? What about 3G?
Check your apps as well. I was watching my battery drop a percentage in literally minutes. I thought it was just the phone, and that I had to live with it, but in my case it was Go Weather!!
This app is EXTREMELY bad - drains battery insanely, and even when you configure it, it keeps popping back up in the running apps and goes to town draining your battery.
Apps like that can make a somewhat average battery life turn into an insanely bad situation.
13 to 14 hours with moderate to heavy use???
I'm lucky to get 10 hours without any use. I let it sit on a table overnight, and the next morning it was down to 28%.

[Q] Reboot causing a huge battery drop...

I'm not gonna ask any questions about why batteries drop so fast because i figured that out. Now my battery's draining 1.5%/hour on idle. That's good. The problem is whenever I use my phone continuously for an hour or so, there would be a major significant battery drop when I reboot it. I tried waiting for the battery to recalibrate but it doesn't. Not to mention an average use would eat my battery by 10%/hour or more. Other than that, whenever I let my phone on idle until it's at 40-30%, the battery level suddenly goes to 1% when I use it and my phone would shut down.
I am using Greenify donation version, and Amplify.

I have same problem. Well, not exactly the same, but similar
When I reboot my phone, my battery drop about 25%-40%. For example, it drops from 40% to 15%. After that, my battery drains normally to 1%(for example after 1 hour of SoT) and that last 1% last for 1.5-2 hours of SoT It's so crazy :laugh:

Excess battery drainage

I have spice drean uno ruinng 5.1.1 official rom.
After using it for a while i am seeing that battery is being consumed very fast.
I tested it with temple run oz for 30 mins and battery moved from 100 to 48 in 30 mins.
Is it normal or something is wrong with my device.
Battery health depends on individual usage and maintenance. There have not been any such battery drain reports. Maybe get a new battery, that will help for sure.

Try this
Calibrate your battery with battery calibration app.
Then maybe you got a manufacturing defected piece. I would say bad luck. Try to get stats of battery usage in settings. Android 5.1.1 actually improves battery, Google claims and as I've noticed so it's hard for me to believe that it's causing the problem.

Yup, its normal, switch back to kitkat if u want a bit better backup.
P.S: Most android phones gives only 5-6 hours backup on moderate to heavy usage.

[OP5] Battery life Thread

Let's make this the official battery life thread for the Oneplus 5, enjoy :good:
OnePlus 5 Battery Life Thread
Hi all,
I figure it would be useful to get a battery life thread going so we can see what type of performance we can get and also understand how people might be improving their battery performance.
I haven't done one full battery drain yet as I only got the phone yesterday. I will be doing that on this cycle to see how it performs. For reference I am at 90% after about 7 ½ hours having put down at 100% and not on the charger when I slept. I had 2% battery drain over night (slept maybe 6 ½ hours) and have 54 minutes SOT (light usage, just messaging, Twitter, slack, chrome etc) with the remaining 8%. I'm not sure how OP phones battery life reduce, I know LG always has a strong first 10% and then rapidly drops off for example.
In terms of setup, I am rooted and using Doze Settings Editor (GeraldRudi preset), Naptime, Leandroid (but I need to figure out if this is actually working). I am also using dark themes were possible as these are better for AMOLED screens. I've also tweaked kernel in EXKM but nothing major that would positively impact battery.
Just to follow up, I have completed my first full cycle and can report that I got just over 6 hours of SOT over about 33 hours.
I had a bit of Bluetooth and GPS but I do keep the screen brightness as low as possible which really does help battery life as well.
I have also included CPU frequencies for reference, I haven't made any governor tweaks but that would be something to look at or maybe wait for custom kernels which I'm sure would have different governors including EAS based ones.

For a stock rom thats some great values. Im on 40% now and got like 4hrs SOT. Device is running for like 29 hrs. Probably got the same as you

Yeah I definitely think so. There has been a trend in recent years of reducing battery life IMO. I had easily 8 hours of SOT over two full days on my HTC One M8 when I first got it and each year it's just gotten worse to the point now where 6 hours is considered great but I'm not complaining, I will take that over other phones barely managing 4 to 5 hours SOT.
Very excited to see how far this phone can be optimised on battery life with custom ROMs and Kernels. Good days ahead
Make sure to post your results when you complete a full charge and what you've done battery savingwise to achieve that

The battery life in mine is awesome. 21 hours, on 4g/WiFi and 4:30 hours SOT on half battery.
Probably will last me more than 2 days with normal usage
I can get around 8 hours SOT with medium use and brightness set to low. I am mostly indoors and I am impressed. With the same usage on my OPO I got 3.5 hours SOT.
ElementalX and 4.5.2 is out and coming out very shortly so the game will change again battery life wise. There will be different kernels that will help or hinder battery life depending on how much they are geared that way or towards performance.

My first charge was data only. I've had a couple of issues with stand by drain but I think that has been sorted now (back down to 2-3% drain over night) so should be able to get another decent reading today.
I am however now on freedomOS and ElementalX so things are changing up and I can see there is another OTA fix on the way.bit hard in the early weeks to get through a full day without something changing!!

I have never been more pleased, I might just get 8-9 hrs of SoT
