battery depletes in idle mode during night, any fix? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On both stock ROM and CM ROM I'm losing 12 to 15% odd of battery at night while phone is idle, data off, WiFi off etc, nothing major in wake-locks either, was wondering if there's anything to be done? My Note 4 lost about 2 to 4% at night and my iPhone 6 loses about 5%... so the 12 to 15% is just too much I reckon, but am unable to find a solution, any ideas? thanks

How old is your device?

Device is new, I have since I wrote the original post installed Exposed with the Amplify module and adjusted wakelock settings which seems to have helped, down to about 5% during the night which is much more acceptable, thanks.

Display + Battery level

Hello,
I recently got my nexus, and rooted only two days after receiving it. I installed cyanogen's latest. I am getting low battery; in only 5 or so minutes, the percentage goes down by at least 2 percent (while using). I looked to see what may have been draining the battery, and found that the display alone was using 62% to 75% of my battery. I tried undervolting, but the display seemed to still be in the same draining range...
Is this a hardware related problem, or is this a common nexus thing?

same here, really starting to piss me off when i see people talking about 70% battery at the end of the day while my phone dies in 6 hours
Cyan?
Woah, I think this might actually be cyan's Rom.
I flash enomther's rom and i got display percentage at around 15-16% ...
I think cyan will look into this soon enough...
But for now... I guess I'm gonna wipe... :/ and stick to enom's or some other ROM...

I think the problem is only with a few people, but I know others are experiencing this. This might be something with the "latest" nexi. But idk, it's a mutual issue, a fix should be coming
Probably you are right...
But, I would like to know, what settings peolple use: like updating wheater every hour, emails, widgets,..ham many apps are running and so on, ... perhaps connected to...sometimes people dont even know that
Edit: I got my Nex in january.
The change in the display usage percentage is just due to the way the powermanager works. Its not using more battery, its just displaying how much power it is using more accurately.
have the same problem.
100% airplane mode ON no WIFI, in 5 hours 72% battery remains . (PHONE IDLE took most of this - my G1 could go 1 month with this settings)
IN 12 hours in was 6% and with LOW use of my N1.
Yesterday I removed numbers in my battery and it was a litle better, not much but a little. (about 8% better)
I had 5.0.5.1, 2 and 3 and everyone had the same problem!
CM please take a look at this. What do you need any LOG info or something!
Have you tried wiping battery stats, then charging to 100% with it off, then booting into recovery and wiping battery stats again, then charging to 100%? The few times I've had battery issues that's taken care of it for me.
I flashed cyan again with a wipe (again), but got the same thing.
On enom's rom, I get beastly battery. I think we just have to wait for a fix for the people who are affected.

Do you need root to wipe battery stats? how do you do it?
Well I did the wipe battery about 3 times and in OS it was already green light 93% full.
I WIPED and put the power in on NON POWERED PHONE. It took 1 hour more to come to the green light . than I wiped again and went to boot up.
at 11PM i had 100% battery went into airplane mode wifi OFF.
And i did one other thing. Some of you had the battery drain issue with trackball wake. So I disable it.
7 hours of this and I got 97% - beautiful
before that I had 72% so there is a difference.
Now I have to see if the wakeup trackball is the cause of this or the wiping the battery stats.
Will eliminate one and other and keep you posted
I took my phone off the charger at 4:30am and the next day at 5:30 am i had 12% battery left. i used my phone a total of 3 times. most of the time it was on standby. i have setcpu with my phone UV and UC to try to save battery with profiles set up. in battery information 85% of the phones battery went to cell standby. Any suggestions on how to improve this?
Try wakeup trackball OFF in spare parts and battery % OFF in upper taskbar.
I have now from 100% to 59% in 7 hours. wifi ON all the time.
I have tried to wipe battery settings and charge fully with the phone off, but after the full procedure, I still get the same end result. I attached a picture of my battery usage.
Im pretty sure i saw a post online about the newer nexus's that were released having a better display. If this is true then wouldn't the phone's hardware alone be using more battery?
I can confirm I am having the same problem. I wasn't sure until I checked battery usage overnight. It used to be that with my phone on airplane mode I would use about 2% while I slept. Now, it's 9 or 10% with "Phone Idle" taking the lion's share of it.
I have tried deleting batterystats.bin after a full charge; powering off (while on charger); charging up to full again, but this has not solved the problem.
A few notes:
When the phone is idle (but not in airplane mode) it uses about 1.5% per hour (compared to about 1.1% in airplane mode)
I am using setcpu profiles to keep cpu usage right down when idle
Around the same time I upgraded to 5.0.5.3 I also started using the himem version of fastboot. And yes, if you suspect I don't know what I'm talking about here, you are quite right
For my next trick, I will try resetting battery statistics via recovery. What fun!
I've kept the cyan rom, and changed some settings to increase battery life. I turned off the battery percentage icon, and turned off the trackball to wake. I still got that the display was using a lot, but the battery still lasted pretty good. I guess there isn't too big of a problem on my side. It probably is the "newer displays" on the "newer" nexi. Maybe there really isnt a big problem
I changed now from CM to Enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 1.8.1 and battery now works great.
I unplugged the charger at 12.00 am at midnight and with quite good use, not extremely havey but a good use I had 30% battery left at 20:00 (08:00PM) that day.
I lost only 2% from midnight to 7:00AM in my airplane mode and with Gmail check 10 min of phone calls wifi ON all the time checking web pages and showing off my live wallpapper at my work I had at noon (12.00PM) 70% battery left!
I LIKE IT!
now I'm thinking to push Kernel - .32 & .33 to see if there is any change with my battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653598
After resetting battery stats in recovery, I still lost about 10% overnight while on airplane mode.
For my next trick, I'll use a task killer like "Process Manager"* to keep everything unnecessary switched off overnight. Maybe I'll be able to narrow it down to an application if it's not something integral to the actual ROM.
*Yes, I know it will use up the battery too

Battery Drains during Standby Mode

Does anybody experience a 3% to 5% battery drain just a few minutes after charging the battery to 100%? It has already reached 100% so I already unplugged it from the charger, but then I noticed after a few minutes, it went down to 97% already, and then in 10 minutes, it's already down to 96%. In 3 hours, it's down to 84%; in 7 hours, it's down to 38% and that's just on standby mode with Wifi/Bluetooth OFF, 3G OFF, GSM only. I've been experiencing this problem for the past few days now. I've already conditioned my battery, charging it to a full charge (100%) after draining the battery until it shuts the phone off. I only charge the battery while the phone is off and usually it takes about 3 to 4 hours maximum to charge it to 100%.
The longest time it reached was 12 hours (battery unplugged from charger) and that is with light use, such as Wifi is only on for a couple of hours, so basically just 2 hours web browsing and skype, 10-20 text messages and 30 minutes to 1 hour browsing the photo gallery or watching videos. No phone calls and 3G is off. The rest of the day, the phone is just on standby mode. I only have at most 10 widgets on the home screen. I have Avast Antivirus running in the background.
I am currently using Easy Battery Saver, Easy Task Killer, GO Task Manager and Battery Monitor Widget. I've uninstalled Juice Defender since I don't think it helps that much when it comes to the battery drain. Currently, the power saving option (available on Note) is enabled at 50%.
Wifi and Bluetooth: OFF when not used

Any feedback or comment on this matter would be really much appreciated. Thanks!
From a personal standpoint. Your screenshots shows that your phone had never ever done a deep sleep at all. the 'Awake' mode is continously consistent as well. I guess the probable reason for that is you've installed ''Avast AV" on your phone. It's always running in the background (whenever the phone is ON). From my experiences, Any background application running would always cause wakelocks and the phone would never enter into deep sleep at all.
How bout you try uninstalling some of the background apps your using esp. Avast AV and give it a day to observe if your still having that battery drain issue. (Don't forget after uninstalling or removing those apps, try to wipe dalvik cache and battery stat and restart your phone after.)
and Oh by the way, I am using Juice Defender and contrary to your saying it doesn't help.. IT DOES HELP save battery as I my Note is able to reach 1.5- 2 days of normal use.
Cheers!
Yeah and download betterbatterystats and do some searching on it. With it you can discover what is causing those wakelocks. Search the web for more info on your wakelocks.

I'm using avast and never seen a drain like that. Only time I have is because of background processing. First thing I would do is turn off Background Data
Then as others have said - check batterystats to see where wakelocks are
Plus a rooted phone is a good thing. Titanium backup allowed me to freeze wi-fi sharing which also made a big difference
Finally - clear all caches from Applications menu and reboot

Only picture that shows that is the one with 1 minute 56 sec discharging time, so it was taken shortly after taking charger out. No suprise of it being almost 100% screen on time there if its only 2 minutes
Also installing "cpu spy" will give the cumulative time that your cpu spent at each frequency including deep sleep , mine is showing 88%
John.
Anti virus app is battery hog, I had avast before too, and I uninstalled it after 2 days using. Also that Juice defender, from my test before, it use up more battery than it saved. turning on and off those 3G/Wifi thing is using up alot of battery. and you know what? even the betterbatterystats use up alot, at least to me, becoz it scan what is up frequently.
Hello! Thank you all so much for your response. I've installed both BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy and here are the results (please see attachments). Upon checking CPU Spy, it shows there that phone did went to deep sleep, maybe? I'm not quite sure, but it shows on the screenshot that it went to deep sleep for 19%. So does that mean the phone really went to sleep?? I'm sorry to ask this question, since I've never really encountered this problem before with my previous Samsung Wave phone, how will you know that your phone went straight to deep sleep mode?
Also, after 46 minutes or so, the battery went down to 96% already after charging it. The battery drain was already 4% in less than an hour.
@letters_to_cleo: I have not uninstalled Avast yet, since I'm still hesitant to use my phone without an AV. But I will try your suggestion for 1 day and see if there's any battery improvement.
I'm looking forward to your response or suggestions. Thanks again!
i am having problem too with new battery original samsung ( made in japan, finished in korea) previously i use samsung battery made in china, finished in korea. charged it over night with power off. it only last 13hrs. my wife phone can last 30hrs.
i've used batterymix to check the battery usage graph, the usage graph drop very fast compare to my wife phone. i'll post some screen capture of the graphs.
another issue is i used once wifi sharing. after turning switching the wifi sharing off, the wifi sharing service always at the background even after many reboot. how to turn that off??
You might need a new battery. Any rechargeable battery has a finite charging cycle. Just a suggestion.
Hi, all! I just noticed that the battery drains still even during deep sleep mode. After 3 hours or so (during sleep mode according to CPU Spy), the battery went down to 92%. It drains even faster when the phone is in use, especially when Wifi and Bluetooth are on, maybe 2-5% drain in 1 hour.
Maybe there's something wrong with the battery?? It's still a new battery and I can see some improvement each day though, but that's because I use it less each day. Before the battery can only last for 8-10 hours, then it increased to 12 hours, and then to 16-17 hours. BetterBatteryStats' current estimate to empty is 24 hours as of today, but that's because I only used the phone today for only a couple of hours, with 20 minutes Wifi and Bluetooth ON and most of the time, it's on deep sleep mode according to CPU Spy.
What do I do with the results from the Partial Wakelocks? Do I have to disable those apps?? The Kernel Wakelocks didn't show any reference apps running. The screenshots for the Partial and Kernel Wakelocks that were taken a few hours earlier still show the same results after 3 hours.

That would be really bad luck. I got my Note via preorder in Germany at the first day it was sold and since then I charged it everyday, sometimes even twice and there is no difference to the first day. If I get told by Samsung after 6month of normal usage the battery is dead that would be the last Samsung device I bought and I use a lot of Samsung stuff.
@ebichan24
Your last screenshots show between 9:35 and 13:35 5% of battery drain. That's not really a good value but ways lower than before. Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
And since when occurred this issue? Did you install new Apps before this happened?
On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
Gesendet von meinem ARCHOS 101G9 mit Tapatalk 2
Agreed with Kanalcommander.... try a reboot in the first instance.
Others have also noted that it takes a few refresh cycles before the phone more accurately reports battery use. Perhaps what you are reporting is because the phone and battery are new (new ROM or Kernel loaded?)
What I have done in the past is to reboot into CWM recovery then clear the battery stats (in the Advanced menu option) Recharge the battery to 100% until it says to remove charger and then use normally until battery down to around 20%, then recharge the battery to 100% again. Do this over a few days and that may help.
thanks, it is new battery two days old.

I was having similar problems with my new note and finishing full charge in 12 hrs but fixed some things and my last charge gave me 2d6hr seriously..few things i did were stop using live wallpapers! Get badass battery to thoroughly monitor stats and then use zdbox to extend life even much eg. I put phone to auto flymode using that app when its sleeping time rest i am more than satisfied even if on GB LC1 fw..waiting for official premium suite for ics since i recently upgraded from sgs2 using ics i miss that smoothness and much better bat life.. Let me know if can be helpful.. Good luck

That's what I'm currently doing right now, well, actually, what I do is I discharge the battery until it reaches 0% and turns the phone off. And then I charge the phone for 3 hours while it's switched off, I turn it back on again to check if the battery is fully charged and then I unplug it from the charger.
@Kanalcommander
**Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
I haven't deleted any apps yet since I don't know which app/s to delete. Most of the apps I downloaded in Note were the same apps that I used in my iPhone4 and Samsung phone before.
**And since when occurred this issue?
This issue occurred since the first day I bought the phone, which was a couple of weeks ago. How long does it take to condition a new battery and new phone?? I'm sorry if I have to ask this question, it's just because I never really experienced this problem with my previous smartphones.
**Did you install new Apps before this happened? On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
I only installed recently CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats and that's it. The drain of 5% from 9:35 to 13:35, the phone's just on deep sleep mode. And then from 13:35 to 23:44, it went from 92% to 74% while the phone is on deep sleep mode at 90% according to CPU Spy. That's 18% battery drain. It's just an unacceptable number for me. I tried rebooting the phone already, but every time I do so, just a few minutes after I turned the phone ON, there's already a 1% drain in the battery.
Also, does the battery really drain faster when the Wifi is ON? I've read in other threads that there might be some problem with the recent OS update that Samsung needs to address. Is this true?? Because as you can see on the screenshot below, the battery was still at 74% by 23:44 and then after I turned ON the Wifi and used it until 01:26, the battery went down to 54%. That's already a 20% battery drain in just less than 2 hours. I was only browsing through the Android Store and Skype.
Calibrate your battery in case you flashed any roms and for first usage I got my battery to 0% 3 times then everything is running great for example its at 47% now its 22 now and I have had it off charge since 7 morning..... i have wifi gps and 3g always on and use music player bluetooth and made some calls

My battery (also only a week old) drains quickly too. Can anyone tell me if widgets draw a lot of current? And then is it only the ones on the visible screen or do all widgets draw juice all the time?
I will ask such thing, did you guys check the battery expiration day ? Mostly sibce you got your phone almost a yeae after it was announced you nay get a bad battery, as for widgets the ones that are always active and asking for informatiom. Like location or weather over the internet yes they do eat your battery kinda fast.

Recurring battery drain? - Caused by memory of using app to drain battery?
Hello!
I used a battery drain app when charge left was 30% to accelerate drain to "die out" stage. After I completed the calibration process for unrooted phone as suggested in various sites (charge fully, switch off and charge etc.) I started using it from a 100% stage.
This afternoon when the battery showed 30% I saw in BMW the current flow was in -10ma to -15ma and it started spiking to hundreds. There was no change in settings or usage. From the 30% level it dropped to 10% in an hour and I had to charge again.
Was puzzled why the battery which was dropping around 0.5%/hour in standby earlier to the 30% level suddenly went down hill. My first guess was it was possible some file in the system remembered the previous usage history and replayed it out.
Any suggestions? Anyone faced this before? Everyone says LiOn batteries dont have memory so if anything it has to be the phone.
Thanks!

Battery drain

Hello people
I bought z3compact, and I started to have big problems with battery drain, I tried to downgrade on 5.0.2, then tried factory, then 6.0.1 beta, and at least I tried custom rom Lolipop Slim and everytime is same story, I barely had one day battery juice, and when i go to sleep, I lose more than 20% thorough the night, when I go to settings number one in battery using is Cell standby, SOT I have barely 2 hours.
Is there any help, I think the radio is problem.
Thank you very much

Check the mobile radio active time in the apps that show the greatest battery drain. If any of them are more than an hour when you're sleeping, then the big has bitten you. Connect to wifi as a workaround. There's also a supposed fix for the mobile radio active bug somewhere on XDA. Try searching and food luck!

Look at which apps are using the most battery under settings/power management/battery usage.
UNINSTALL facebook, which will be the biggest eater of battery, access it through the webpage
If you have a rooted phone, install AFWall., then restrict whatsapp,twitter,*messging apps* to wifi only, see if that makes a difference. Once you see a difference in batterybehavior, slowly let them back onto mobile data one at a time until you find the culprit (whatsapp probably)
Google Play Services is a usual suspect. Start by turning off synchronise on your google account.
There's a fix for google here.
If you have poor reception of mobile signal in your house, trying turning the phone to GSM.
Settings/wifi/advanced wifi - scanning always available OFF - keep wifi on during sleep ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN
Research on the BBS thread
If you have a rooted phone download Disableservice from the playstore.
Once it's installed, open the system tab, open Google Play Services, then untick (disable) the following:
ConfigFetchService
FitnessSyncAdapterService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
NetworkLocationService
ProximitySettingInjectorService
UserPresenceService
WearableControlService
WearableService
WearableSyncService
then reboot your phone.
Disabling these from running should have no impact on your phone, it doesn't for me, and will give you 10-15% more battery life.
The other thing that extended my battery life was deleting the cached data. Settings\Storage and hold down on Cached data until you get a popup asking you to delete it. I know it sounds bizarre, but it really worked.
As a last resort you could try amplify as it is good at reducing wakelocks, but to get it running requires xposed as well as entering lots and lots of changes to the phone timings, getting these wrong will stuff your phone! Beware

There's an extremely great guide here on XDA on how to save battery Here check this out
It incorporates Greenify which is used to hibernate apps, Amplify which is to limit wakelocks and many more, personally Ive been noticing a great improvement, I only lose 1% per 8 hours per night of sleep
battery
So I tried everything that you wrote, and last hope was KITKAT, and baterry is little bit better but not enough, barely I can use it one day, so when I am on sleep battery % drops quite fast, about 4% per hour, but when I have screen on I have 20- 25 minute in 10 % of battery. do you think it is battery bad or software bug?
Thank you
So guys i put marshmallow, and when the screen is on all day i have 6 h of SOT, but when it sleeps i have barely 1-2 h SOT, what the hell is going on with my phone
Screen on time measures just that, the amount of time the screen is on. You can drain the battery by playing music all day and get 0 hours of screen on time. It is not and should not be used as an indicator of battery life. Send us another screen shot of your usage statistics

3%+ per hour drain on idle--how to detect problem app?

So my first Note 8 had draining problems which seemed to somehow fix itself with every other cycle. I replaced it with my current Note 8, which had really great battery life for a week. Yesterday, it started draining randomly at 3%++ on idle. I didn't download any new apps. I didn't change anything at all. According to GSAM, it just says it's from app usage, but I'm not using the phone and all apps are closed.
In Settings|Device Maintenance, you can find a list of apps that are draining the battery.
What does GSAM report for deep-sleep percentage?
Do you have AOD turned on? Many are reporting excessive battery drain from it.
I have found this useful on more than one occasion. It will give you deeper insight into what's going on, than the battery monitor in the phone.
https://www.xda-developers.com/stop-wakelocks-android-without-root/
Another vote to look at disabling AOD.
I checked my battery stats yesterday and it was the top consumer after 5 hours of work. I didn't use my phone much - there was about an hour of SOT, but the AOD seems to be taking way more than 1% an hour - more like 4-5% an hour in my case.
I do hope that they fix this issue in an update. I'd like to use AOD, but not at the expense of that much battery life per hour. I guess when they're testing their software, they don't test battery drain.
I wonder why the AOD draining more. I don't ever remember seeing AOD using battery on my S7E. I love the AOD but i have it set on a schedule. ifi leave it on all day it consumes 5-6% battery.
Chiming in to say AOD was the culprit for me as well. I was losing as much as 5% an hour on AOD. Just not optimized. I had it on all the time using my S8+ and it didn't drain more than 6% for a whole day which is something I can live with.
I don't have AoD turned on, but it's also not disabled. It's still active, but I can disable it with BK Disabler.

It doesn't list anything in particular that is draining it, which is why I'm having so much trouble finding out the issue. My old Note 8 would drain for 3% per hour and then after a charge or two, it would go back to normal. This time, it hasn't reverted back to normal yet.
For deep sleep and light sleep, they're both around 40-something percent.

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.
