Battery Drains QUICKLY!

I got school at around 6 am. By the time I eat lunch it's already at 57%. By the time I get home around 5 and it's already at 17%.
All I do is listen to music (doubletwist/playerpro) and play Cut the Rope, WTF!?
Cell standy by is 46% in batter usage followed by wifi with 11%
any help guys?

What I tend to do is have brightness down to about half. Have you also tried fully charging the phone, taking the battery out and charging back to full? I sometimes find it drops down but regenerates itself.

Brightness is below half,I never go over. WiFi is on but not all the time.
Stock rom 2.3.4 rooted

Do you have data off?

How's your phone signal most of the time? It has been proven that low/bad signal drains battery quicker than good signal.
Sometimes certain buildings/rooms have pretty bad reception making it a huge drain for your phone.

This is a useful piece of information, however is not really practical. Ideally we don't want to be turning off our phones on every charge :/
I myself own 3 batteries, and alternate them (I have a wall charger for the batteries)

what ver are you using if 2.3.4 the battery issue is fix.

I get 3 /4 bars, at school right new and yea some times I get nothing, especial ly during the subway ruse which is an hour

Once I updated my phone to 2.3.3 I noticed that the battery life was sub-par, only lasting 3/5s of the day on a full charge.
I proceeded to root my phone (as I don't have the money to unlock my Big Red Bootloader); after installing SetCPU I took down the clocking meter 1 notch (768MHz) and the phone is stable with not difference in performance (so far). Doing this and removing some unneeded bloatware has increased my battery life 2.5x and I can go almost 3 days on a single charge.

xiEvo is correct and I've read a lot of good stuff regarding battery life with 2.3.4. I can only begin to imagine what kind of battery life I'll have once I get that update.

get juice defender off the market ultimate version is best. this will lookafter everything for you.. juice defender is a must have app for all android devices

I'm 2.3.4.
Honestly I had the best battery life with 2.3.2, IDK why.

Battery drain with 3g on terrible

Hi guys,
Is anyone else get terrible battery life with 3g and data on even on standby? I believe the phone function drains the battery and it lasts only 2 days or so on standby. I constantly have the tab on flight mode with wifi enabled and battery is much improved to about 1 week standby. Anyone else? I am on stock 4.0.4.
Thanks

Wtf r this guy even serious? I wish i had 1 day standby, what a joke

Hi Iong. We are talking about a tablet here, not a phone. Tablets should have 1 week standby at least. The battery drain with 3g and phone on is unacceptable. I think the reason is the connection to phone signal which is constant.

Mate 1 day pr 2 day standby is a lot, given the fact you install many program and it constantly connect to tinternet to check for updates notifs etx. You dont have 1 week standby whatsover, forget it. Big tablet big baterry big screen. Ot all goes scaling together

So 'l2_hsic' and 'batt_work wake lock' are the 2 processes keeping my table awake for 5 hours in total since yesterday. Any idea of what these do?
Thanks

most likely is that one or more of your apps is causing the problem. try a reset and see if the problem goes away. if it does, install apps one by and and check which one is the problem

Use juice defender ultimate in tablet mode. I can go several days idle time and lose almost no battery.

wow guys are you all serious??? i lose around 10-15 percent overnight man

Dude.. My phone was on 60 percent at 6pm once when I slept... Next morning at seven it was off... Wifi off data off.. All **** off... I dint even get a call or msg... Definitely not 1 percent I guess...

If I leave data and WiFi off, about 2% to 10% but that isn't usual. When I am home, I leave WiFi on and that gets my currents and YouTube video preloaded. 15% to 20% Max. I rarely leave it to charge overnight.

REBOOTED - nothing, drain battery like hell, lose about 30-40% in 5 hours...
I woke up with 15-20% battery drained... wtf guys ?
I kill all apps, turn of data, wifi and etc, still nothing...
BATTERY STATUS - messaging use 84% of battery... wtf ?

To all of you having problems with battery drain, you should know that last Google Maps update messed up the deep sleep state of the system.
I´m running Carbon ROM, but also tested with other 2 ROM´s and the results were the same, around 20%-25% battery drain over night.
I read that disabling "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings in the Google Settings app(the one with the green icon) helps a little, but still is an issue.
With these settings disabled, I get around 5% battery drain over night. Although the wakelock has decreased, is still there waking up the device. Already reported to Google to see if they can do anything to fix it. The wakelock appears as "Android System" or "Google Services".
Before update I had around 3% battery drain over night(around 8 hours) with WiFi.
Hope this helps.
:fingers-crossed:

As a battery life druggie, I get 1% max. Regardless rom. Usually wifi off and 2g data on. (wifi on is bad for HUMAN DEEP SLEEP).
A not sure useful or not hint, set pm.sleep_mode=1 in your build.prop
Disable everything you can think of. Wifi, gps etc.
Uninstall bloatwares, replace with downloadable ones, use greenify to freeze them.

Phone Idle Battery Drain (Deep sleeping & no wakelocks)

Does anyone know why this is happening? My phone deep sleeps but loses ~10% per hour. I tried replacing the battery and restoring to stock but nada

uuuhmmmmmm quite weird... I think that must be a hw issue.. did u contact google? does this happen with every kernel?

I got my phone from a carrier in Canada and they will not honour the warranty because I bought it outright. I have tested stock and franco

Install BetterBatteryStats and see what the other wakelocks are.
Sometimes WakelockDetector does not show every wakelock that is happening.

And look what i said, WKD does not seem to be able to see all the wakelocks, install BBS and see if you get any extra wakelocks.
If that doesn't help, i would suggest you to do a complete reflash to stock and see if it still happens on stock.

turn off your wifi when you are not using it. there is a constant drain with a wifi connection.

Drain is STILL there with wifi and everything off (airplane mode)
I installed BetterBatteryStats and everything seems normal. In a 1 hour period the largest offender was msm_hsic_host and sns_async_evwakelock and suspend_backoff with a total of 4 min.
It seems to drain the same whether I use the phone or not.

Anyone have any ideas? Here is more info

I was after a red light I bought a new battery because I wanted everything back. but after replacing. the phone loses all the time very fast.i think is battery fault. I tried all the ROM and the kernel and does not help

Seems like the exact same issue. Have you tried using another battery? I am being sent another battery to replace the one I bought so I will try that when it arrives.

I not tried yet. I wait for the 4.4 ROM and if not help i buy new battery but from someone else
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I have a question. as you put the batteries you put blue tape too? It's a bit strange but maybe this is the reason because I threw my to the trash.it is called blue anti-electrostatic discharge tape

What blue tape? Do you are exepriencing usb connection problems too? I have all those symptoms after I've replaced my battery, and also the usb stopped working

Well, I didn't replace mine.. Could it be the culprit? Where can we buy that tape?

I doubt the tape is the issue.
Have any of you tried using another new battery?

Battery issues....

So I'll start off by saying my battery only lasts 8-10 hours from 100% to dead. So fair I have pinpointed the issue but I don't know how to fix it. I'm using an at&t d800
When my WiFi is on, no or unknown signal and no data connection start ticking and killing my battery. If I never turn my WiFi on my battery will last 19 hour or more.
Has anyone less encountered this issue and/or know how to fix this.
I have had this on bone stock 10o and on gravios rls 4.
Please I really would like to use my ac router and to get better battery life.
Thanks for your time.

get betterbatterystats and look into wakelocks, check kernel, then partial and google the living daylight
turn wifi off when no signal, not that complicated really.
lobby with your provider for better coverage in your area.

all of that dont work, then warrantee, or get an Iphone so you dont need to worry about silly wakelocks and unfriendly way of managing phone that Android requires

No odd wakelocks killing my battery. Sorry forgot to say my signal is 100%

lol, just bring it back to a lg dealer
if that doesn't work, buy replacement battery, there are threads here how to open the phone.
or root it, twrp recovery it, wipe the bagesus ( not the sd card) out of it. so its clean. Then reinstall stock or good custom.
then condition battery, a couple times full charge down to zero and up again.

LG Dealer? also its not the battery not holding a charge its if my wifi is on the battery drains like crazy because my phone thinks there is no siganl so its boosting the cellular radio. with out wifi on it doesnt do that so the battery lasts a long time.

well good news it is software related. i installed cm 11 and wifi on is not causing the no signal wake lock.

Conditioning is only good for Ni-Mh battery's but bad for Li-Poly battery's. (which g2 uses) 0% and 100% are bad for them. The best is to charge them from about 10% to 95% if possible.

I dont understand why my battery if I charge it past 100% grants me an hour longer screen on time. I did notice a different span when using till 50 and then charging it again. Once I went from 100 to zero and back up it seemed it reset itself.
weird battery I guess.

Bad calibration is all. Its that magic 1% @100 and crap 5% bottom end. Noticeable across all devices. Evens itself out, never ends. Seems at 100% starting, its not really fully charged.

actually it doesnt cause all that does is lose network when network reception is low. It doesnt affect battery like your battery is affected.
