[Q] EMERGENCY!!! BAttery draining like a rocket - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

CAn anyone suggest how to fix battery drain im on fxp Cm 12 02/09 and i turned everthing off and battery on low brightness.Also this happend before on other roms.NEEd a fix please reply fast:crying::crying:

What other ROM's did this happen on? Were they also Lollipop ROM's? I personally experienced this once on CM12, my phone went from 70-ish % to 1% overnight by doing absolutely nothing! My advice is to come back to Lollipop when it is more stable, it's way too buggy right now to be used as a daily driver IMO.

ok
Ok ill try crystalpa 8.50 and will let you know about the battery. Well i dont in the first place why my battery is draining it wsnt draining last week i use to leave my phone overnight. It used to be 100% to 95%.NOw its 100% to 79% which is bull****:crying::crying:

i tryed
I have already implemented that guide it works for 5 mins and then starts again to drain. How much screen on time do you usually get.:crying::crying:

Have you switched back to KitKat yet? I noticed the battery going down a lot quicker on Lollipop myself.

i use stock jelly bean, and i get 5 hours screen time on average, sometimes i get 6h+

kitkat
Yes I'm on KitKat now crystalpa 8.50 that battery is still draining and how do you get 6hours battery screen on time on jellybean please explain the method thanks:crying::crying:

battery efficient rom
Can anyone please suggest a good battery ROM that doesn't drain battery thanks.:crying:

The stock Sony ROM's have the best battery life.

My battery drain faster then Light!
Since 4-months I seeing that my phone battery draining like as faster as saying 123456789.before 4month its worked really fine suddenly what happed i could not understand! My phone battery is 4000mAh at first its worked really fine...But what happen now? yaa i changed the Rom to Lollipop but after saw this problem i came back into kitkat again... My phone model is Walton Primo GM..Hope I will get my solution! Thanks All!

Same here with the battery. I returned to stock 4.3 to see will the problem remains.

i have been using one plus x charger since few days.. battery charges from 14% to 70% in around 30 minutes (with 3g onn!!)

What could be the problem for this? Few days ago i didn't have problems with battery and then suddenly yesterday morning it went to 50%, though i charged it at 100% the night before.

[Q] Bad battery drain, new SGS, tried everything

hello,
i've had my SGS for a little over a week now. from day one i noticed battery drain but i thought it was normal for a new device. i flashed darky's 10.1 extreme on the second day i got it because it was very slow and had a lot of bloatware ( i wasnt very patient and i flashed at 95% or 96% battery), the drain was still there. i let it go through a few recharge discharge cycles and no improvement, so i used an app from the market called "batterycalibration" by marosige, no improvement and it the reading would drop to 99% or 98% after taking it off the charger.
i did a little digging and discovered i had the android os bug (was over 50% usage usually) so i used titanium to wipe software update and samsung account, and froze the first, didnt help by much
i then flashed darky's again at 100%, and now it still reads full charge after removing charger and android os bug i gone (reads 4% system and 4% os), but drain was still there. i emptied it to the point it couldnt turn on anymore then charged it from wall charger while turned off to 100% while i slept
i woke up and tested it by playing a game (Blastmonkeys) for like 20 mins and the battery went down to 90%, that was less than 2 hours ago, and now its at 87% and it was completely idle
notes:
my brightness is turned all the way down with no animations but display reads 54%, wifi is usually on when im home but battery stats show 6% wifi so i dont think its a big problem
also, the device was bought locked in france by someone else and im in egypt, so i dont know anything about warranty..
im sorry for the long post but i tried to be as detailed as possible...
hello,when i upgraded my sgs to 2.3.3 i also got battery drain and android os was consuming hell lot of cpu about 70%,..,.,then i flashed 2.3.4 jvp i didnt get any battery drain in that firmware then i upgraded it to 2.3.4 jvq this also donot have ny battery drain..,,.i recommend u to flash it and try it once
will try, but isnt darky only compatible with JVH? what happens if i change to JVQ?

see jvp and jvq are bug fixing firmwares and i didnt use any custom rom ,..,i have stock firmware which i just rooted and didnt use any mod or rom.,,.,.jvp and jvq are stable roms diffrence between the both is that in jvq browser is improved gallery improvement,.,..,etc
As far as I know, the percentage not being 100% after unplugging is normal. To prevent wear on the battery, the phone cuts the charger after reaching 100%, and restarts charging when it reaches ~95%.
I don't think a 3% drop in battery over 2 hours is uncommon. Wifi and data connection will pull a lot of power if on, even in standby.

Normal, this phone drains about 20% battery per hour of screen use, slightly less when watching video.
2-3% drain over 2 hours is also pretty normal if you have wifi/sync on.

I just got my SIM card replaced today. The one I had used before was about 12 years old. So whenever you-re having battery issues, make sure your SIM card is not the cause for it .

Battery drain.. kernel (android os)

Hi everyone just got myself a HTC One and I've been experiencing quite bad battery life, usually start the day on full battery around 8am and by 4-5 it's dead or near enough, this seems quite bad for me since my iPhone with a much smaller battery lasted a lot longer, so I downloaded GSam battery monitor and something called kernel (android os) is taking 30% battery usage, is this normal or some kind of bug? I took some screenshots of the battery usage so if anyone could help me out or wants to see the screenshots please let me know, thanks
I've done a factory reset and also running stock version of android updated to latest firmware

If your phone is in idle state for a long time, there will be no third party apps running, only android OS, in the background. So, even if you loose 1% battery during the idle state, that will be cause of android OS, that is how it works. So Unless you are getting extremely low battery life, there is nothing to worry.
For example, suppose you left your phone for two hours and it drained 5% battery and Android System drained 80% of it, that means, Android system is 80% responsible for the 5% battery your phone lost, that means 80% of 5%drain=4%drain.
This means, for two hours, to keep your phone in idle state, Android system used 4% of battery. that isn't bad now , is it ?

You are right i guess.. :good: I'll give it couple of days and see how battery life is. Not satisfying for now anyway like %10 per hour or even worse.. Thanks for reply :highfive:

Since it is a new piece, give it a couple of charge cycles. once it stabilizes it will be good

[Q] Battery draining too fast in CyanogenMod 10.2!

I flashed CM 10.2 last night, and it had about 80% battery. But in the morning found the phone's battery dead. Recharged it again, and found out that it was losing 10% of charge in 15 minutes on standby. This is the first time I had battery issues like that.
I was using HarshJelly (latest build) , over which I flashed Carbon ROM (Build 6). But the carbon ROM was stuck in a bootloop.
SO, I decided to flash the benevolent CM 10.2. But got the battery issues I just mentioned.
I checked that wifi was off and brightness was at minimum.
AFAIK, kernel might not be the problem as CM installs its own kernel, as told to me by the people here at xda.
Does somebody has a similar problem? How can I stop this?

You did factory reset and you wiped cache and dalvik cache? What was consuming your battery most? BTW CM10.2 is draining battery more than stock and CM10.1 I think.
Yes, the usual drill - factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Each of the times I flashed a new ROM.

Discharge/full charge 3-4 times. It should make it more normal... In Battery settings, what is shown to drain most?
The top drainers are-
1. Android System - 21%
2. Android OS - 18%
3. Mediaserver - 16%
4. Apollo - 12% (listened to music for over an hour before last recharge, using headphones of course)

This is first chageing after installation? Probably Mediaserver scan something, after it is done it will not drain that much. Like I told, do 3-4 cycle of discharge/charge. After that you will have better picture about battery life.

I bought another battery and for my surprise I got the same performance. So I investigate and I installed a battery calibration. You must be root for use it. You must charge the phone all the night, and on the morning, you launch the application without unplug the phone to the charger. Once you did it, unplug it, and try!
You must do it after every ROM install.
As shut_down said, the battery pretty much figured itself out after a couple of discharge cycles. Right now, I charge it once every two days! :highfive:

I want to try this too...
It's charging until 100% and then use until 0% then charge again???
Or is charge until 100% then discharge a little and charge again until 100%??

Charge to 100%, discrarge to something about 0% (0-5%). And again charge to 100%.
there isn't such thing as battery calibration. 10.2 is a battery drainer, period

Offtopic: I remember Saint from MadTeam said that battery calibration didn't existed... And i agree with him...
Well i tried this (I discharged my phone completely) and after charging overnight, it feels good...
Still testing...
If i play n64 on my phone for 1h, then the screen time lasts around 2h30m...
fix battery drain issue:cyclops:
i guess you use greenify and hibernate some apps drain your battery
sorry for my bad english~

Install BetterBatteryStats from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 and you will see which wakelocks are draining your battery. If you read through that thread - or search for particular wakelocks - you will begin to understand what is causing the drain.
There is an almost infinite combination of use, ROM, phone configuration and apps installed (and occasionally malfunctioning), so it's impossible to give a useful response to your question.
That app will point you in the right direction, though. You need to install it as a system app (follow the instructions, reboot, then re-install the apk again), then leave the phone for 4-6 hours before reviewing the outputs.
