[Q] Terrible Battery life - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! Yet again another issue and problem with battery life. Mine I think is bit extreme. I consider myself pretty capable at using adb, flashing roms and kernels.
I have this terrible battery life problem though. (Although it might be normal I'm not sure.) I've tried calibrating it using the battery app as well. My phone only gets about half a day's worth of battery and dies at about 47%.
Just shuts off. When I plug it back in I get 0%. I've dug through the wake-locks and other things but still no avail. Is cyanogen really this bad on this device? I've had the phone for over a year and a half
and have been running cyanogen for about 4 months. I've switched back to my GSIII because it's so bad. Any ideas? Maybe its a radio and kernel problem? I'm not sure.
Thanks if you can help! The relevant info is at the bottom!
Here are the battery screenshots and buildinfo, if you need anything else let me know!

use a RUU and go back to stock and see if it improves

Wanted to avoid it haha. But it does seem like the most logical step. I'll give it a shot! Just wanted to see if anyone had anything similar! Thanks!

Bad Battery Life?

I'm having really bad battery life. I don't know what it is. When I reboot my phone it will take 10% of my battery. Also my phone will use about 10% of the battery just sitting there.
Is there anything that might improve my battery life? It might be always awake and I don't know about it. IDK.
Also I'm using DarchDroid ROM.
But I don't think it is the ROM for my batter life has been pretty bad on all ROM's.
Thanks
I started seeing much better battery life when I stopped using systray monitor, if you use it try going a day without it.
ALSO have you calibrated your battery??? This is essential if you have wiped battery stats in recovery. I mistakenly thought it was good to wipe everything before flashing a rom so that's what I did, wiped everything every time I flashed a rom. Little did I know I was jacking my battery usage up by throwing the gauge off by wiping the batt stats.
That's all I got, hope it helps

lol oops.
how do I calibrate my battery?
**EDIT** Also does the stock radio give off bad battery life? and does PRL matter to teh Batt life at all? Thanks

This is how to calibrate your battery
I'm not sure about the radio and PRL affecting battery life
Thanks man I will do it when I get home.
Try different radios. The stock radio from 1.5 just drained my battery. I use a Verizon radio. I get much better battery life. Just try them out for a day each.

Thanks guys for everything. I'm really tired. Not in the right mind I guess.
Only thing I want to ask now. Is if anyone can tell me which one is best in the Dallas area.
But I can find that out on my own I suppose.

Battery issue, 17% then off

That's strange, my battery is inaccurate. When it arrives ate 17% it dies, when I start charging again it starts at 1%, then when arrive at 80% it appears at 100%
Something is really wrong, I dunno why.
I already tried wiping the battery stats (on recovery), but still the same thing.
Any help? Any app to fix it?
Thanks.
Try this, need root:

The battery seems physically dead. Calibration is bullcrap anyway, it proceeds automatically once you reach 100% battery.
My phone is buging. Can you help me? Thank pro.
Thanks for the help guys. Going to see if it fix
You fixed it?
No it didn't fixed it
Tried, but I think it's really broke like Jack_R1 said...
Damn!

Purchase a new battery and test again.
That has worked for me.
It's the idea, going to do that, thanks
Perhaps you will give this one a try?

Maybe try wiping battery stats in cwm recovery and reflash the rom ur using I had this issue but mine used to die out at 7% or so after I did that haven't seen battery issues since then I'm on miui rom might work for u too. I think it happens if you flash new roms a lot at that time I was experimenting with all kinds of roms then stuck around with miui since I believe its the best

[Q] Ridiculous Battery Drain

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?
Regards....

Use the better battery stats app and check which app running in the background is draining your battery without allowing the device going into sleep....
but if the drain is like what you have described....then it is time to move on to another battery....
just a word.....Kernel is something (other things being Baseband) which takes care of the battery performance....so maybe you can try changing this and check which one suits you well.
CHECK IN THE FORUM TO FIND INFO ABOUT APPS LIKE GREENIFY...
Hope this helps you

Thinking it like this: the phone probably can drain a fully charged battery in 10 minutes if you turn on every major component, like vibration, flash, display to 100%, gps, wifi, 3G and what else... But having just wifi on and getting a phone shutdown in 10 min seems excessive. This would suggest your battery is not charging properly. This can result from end-of-lifetime battery only charging to some 10-25% of original capacity, broken charger, battery self-discharge and probably some other reasons I could not think of right now.
The best solution, most likely, is to replace your battery (like SREEPRAJAY above already suggested), but if you like to troubleshoot you could try to charge your phone via USB to reduce the charging current (Li-ion batteries show a lower voltage during charging with lower charge current until 100% is reached). This way you may be able to charge to higher capacity. Also, it may hint that some kernel might work better for you, but I'm not sure about this, since I don't remember what part of Android (SW, charger HW or what) handles the charging logic, i.e. what triggers the charging actually to stop.
Thanks...I'll try the suggestions

well maybe your battery isn't so good anymore or you must try also other roms like jelly cream and those kind of roms and if you wanna know the rom slimbean and cm10.2 from tonyp are also pretty smooth and battery saving but cm10.2 is sadly not working camera still but further it's damm good
Hi I have experienced some issues with battery draining, when I check battery stats it says that most of the battery is drained from Android . media. Service... I have no idea how to work out or disable whatsoever is using those services.. Btw I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly

[Q] Terrible Battery Life?

Hi, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

how can you change your battery?
though you can update your firmware to the latest
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.

percentage battery problem after uptade 6.0.1

Hello,
I have a problem with my battery percentage since the MAJ 6.0.1.
My 6 nexus is rooted, so I flashed manually system.img and new radio from the Factory Image.
After restart phone, My Nexus indicates 3000/4000% battery.
In recovery I have the right battery.
Do you know how to solve the problem?
Phone discharged thoroughly but still the same problem.
Sorry, I can not put outside link to image.
It hasn't happened to anyone ever. Ever. So searching the forums for "battery percent" will not give any results, I assure you.
i guess you dont first search for your issues solution? well, the same question gets posted on xda daily, id suggest you search. anyways, its a bug. ignore it, it will probably get fixed next update.
I cannot ignore it because I never know level of my battery
My Nexus turns off without warning me : finally, discharged battery !
Thanks
