Battery issues on 2.3

Im noticing my battery is draining faster than when I had froyo anyone else noticing this.its very disappointing .im using it just how I used it on froyo and it barely last through half the day. And should I use a task killer, droid life said it would save me more battery if I didn't use one

You might want to recalibrate your battery. I am getting much better life on gingerbread. Definitely do not use a task killer. Android is designed to keep the programs you use most in memory and drop the ones that aren't. Even the ones on memory won't be using much power.

Charge the battery to 100% and then boot into CWM and go to advanced > wipe battery stats

It actually was doing pretty good until today and maybe its me not noticing how much im using it since I am trying out gb and all its new features lol

Another reason that I regretted upgrading to it is the battery seems to run down a lot faster.
I also noticed the keypad lights stay on considerably longer (and brighter too?). Can it possibly be assisted adjusted?

Yea the lights are way to bright for no good reason.

We just updated my wife's DX to the Gingerbread OTA this morning. (We are running stock)
My wife showed me that her battery was down to about 40% today, when normally she is around 70% by the end of the day.
I don't have CWM on her phone (if I should be resetting data as mentioned above).
Is her battery draining faster, or is it just a battery recalibration issue?
If we need to recalibrate, what should we do without CWM?
Thanks ...

The battery is likely draining faster. It's an issue discussed by many others. I have questionable battery issues following the upgrade. My usage patterns haven't changed, but my battery life seems slightly worse. Moto is aware and hopefully will fix relatively soon.

I'm also experiencing 20 to 30% faster battery drainage on GB. No change in usage or apps.

Yes, and so far the suggestions revolve around disabling any sort of syncing/polling apps, turning down screen brightness, turning off 3G radio and living life with only WiFi, doing a factory reset, and a few others. Some believe it's a 3G signal issue and the radio bumping the power to compensate. I'm betting on this as the phone does get quite a bit warmer when using the 3G radio. Realistically, the only real solution will come from Moto when the issue is fixed.

Motorola claims the DroidX has 480 minutes talk time and 220 hours standby!

Anyone here get anything remotely close to those times?

Definitely not since the GB update. Might have been able to get that before if you remove all widgets, syncing/pushing apps, and only turn the screen on to dial a phone number.
On a side note, I broke down and bought the extended battery and I seem to be getting worse battery life now than before Time to exchange it or get my money back.

I am experiencing the same fast drainage and excessive heat. I am more than ready for a fix & root.

Just updated to 2.3.3 today and my battery is doing a lot better than on froyo. im unrooted

I was having a similar issue with the battery draining and the phone feeling warmer that usual after I first updated. I fired up OSMonitor and found that there was a motorola service running nonstop at like 20% CPU usage. Found out it was trying to sync my exchange account but couldn't connect. I manually went in to the mail app and refreshed; it sync'd my account and the problem was solved. Great battery life ever since.
Don't know if this is a similar issue that other people are having, but hopefully it helps someone.

I had the same problem (battery would drain in a few hours and the phone would get very hot) and could not determine the problem.
After a few days I tried the "Droid Factory Reset"
under: Reset instructions for DROID X on 2.3 Gingerbread Android:
motorola-global-portal dot custhelp dot com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48517/~/droid-x---factory-data-reset
It worked. The battery life went back to what it had been before the update, or at least to something similar. Of course, all the data and apps were wiped.... but it was a perfect trade off for having a phone that worked once again.
Just waiting for the Gingerbread OTA Root!

funny, cause when i go through privacy to factory data reset and get all the way to the final button to erase everything...the damn button does nothing. Doesnt work.
it's fine cause i can just boot into android recovery and do it there, but wtf.
this OTA GB has been pretty bad thus far. lots of lost functionality such as extended controls / power control widget, task killer widgets...none of them work.

After MF9 update my battery drains fast, what gives?

Before the update my battery life was ok, now it drains so fast im not sure what the update did but they need to fix this problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Check what is using a big part of your battery in the settings. Chances are that Google Services is near the top of the list. If so, delete your Google acct and then sign back in. This cured the problem for me....now, Google services settles near the bottom of the list. After doing this my battery life is much better but still a bit below battery life of MDL.

Very very vague.

Well, when it comes to these kind of things the OP has no idea what is causing the issue and apparently has done nothing different because if he did and saw a difference he would have either said what he did or reverted back to before he did whatever he did end up doing so actually it was quite clear. Something is happening as far as battery issues for him versus MDL and from what Igot from OP he has done nothing to it or done nothing different than his previously decent battery setup. Just saying.

When did the OP say he had the same setup? You cant just assume that because he didn't say anything that it means he didn't change anything at all. He could have provided us with more info such as what ROM , kernel, mods, etc.

I am also having the same issue, today will be my first full day with the update so I will see how my battery life is. I have already tried deleting my google accounts.

My phone was at 100% this morning when i left for work at 7AM, i played a few races on FF6 and listened to music for a while. I am at work and it is now 8:47 and my battery is at 60% I went to the battery section and it says my screen uses 50% but i have the auto screen brighness on and the power saver mode on also. Before the update i would be at around 80% with the same use. I dont have Google Now enabled.

So, in just under 2 hours, your battery drained 40%, with about 30 minutes of on-screen time. That by itself seems to be higher than expected drain for the battery. But you indicated a few races on FF6, and listening to music (I'm not sure what FF6 is, but if it is CPU intensive, maybe that contributed to the drain).
Did you have kernel or partial wakelocks from GPS or something else? How much was your sleep time? (I think you need betterbatterystats to check that, unless you have another similar app that will give you that detail).

Also, did you guys dirty flash or did you do a full wipe when going from mdl to mf9? I think it's always a good idea to do full wipes before a flash especially after a big update.

...and just the same that you expect others to not assume they changed something - you also can't just assume that because they didn't say anything that it means he DID change anything either.
By the looks of the subsequent and actually HELPFUL posts after yours, there's enough useful information to give them some traction on a resolution. Especially for those that apparently fit the under the original assumption that they didn't change anything with the update.
Noteworthy post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43662159&postcount=15 ..a full wipe

@saintholigan. So you're saying if I had battery drain and needed some.help I would make a thread and just say. My battery life sucks, what's wrong? You would all automatically assume I didn't change anything.
@OP
I would suggest to go to a stock rooted ROM and flash a different kernel other than stock MF9, then google search "better battery stats XDA". There should be a link to XDA that has a free version. Make one or two full discharges with that app and it will tell you if there is any wakelocks or apps that might be draining your battery.

Also you want to disable power saver. From my understanding it doesn't actually save you that much battery and slows down your phone.

[Q] Help With Battery Drain

In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.

Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?

Are you on MJA?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...

ATT D800 KitKat Bluetooth battery usage

So I just OTA updated to 4.4.2 and have noticed my battery is draining a lot faster on 4.4.2 than when I was on 4.2.2. Under usage there is Bluetooth using 15% battery with 1hr48mins of stay awake time. Is there something I can do to remedy that? KitKat is great and all but I've gone from an average of 7-9 hours of on screen time to 3 hours or so since the 4.4.2 ota.

Factory reset fixed mine, but I'm on TMO and not ATT.

I am running on 4.4.2 with root and am seeing Bluetooth using 4-5% under battery usage when it is supposedly off. I did inadvertently factory reset my phone last night and still see the issue. Hopefully there are some other solutions.

My bluetooth was at 18% battery usage. I did a full discharge and recharged it last night and that dropped it down to using 5% but seeing as how bluetooth isn't active at all on my phone it shouldn't be in the list. Interestingly I have narrowed it down to a KitKat bug bc I factory reset my device to 4.2.2 and the bluetooth usage issue isn't present. So it's a bug. I don't know if it is actually using battery or not or if the device is just reporting falsely because when I go under running apps Bluetooth isn't running BUT... when I click all apps and click bluetooth it has the option to force stop bluetooth. So it's as if it IS running but it isn't running. Makes no sense. Hopefully AT&T will issue a patch for it. Until they do I am staying on 4.2.2

For me everything is much quicker and significantly better battery life since upgrading to KK and using a few Xposed modules along with Greenify and the firewall. I wouldn't go back to 4.2.2 just b/c of a Bluetooth glitch, however annoying it currently is.

Yeah but see what you had to do to get where 4.2.2 is? You had to use xposed And Greenify to keep your wakelock in check. I will agree that kitkat runs circles around 4.2.2 in terms of speed but imo if it comes at the expense of battery life and forces me to jump through hoops then I'm good with waiting until the Googs patches it. Google is aware of the issue and are working on a patch.

I noticed an increase in battery life going from rooted 4.2.2 with greenify and firewall to 4.4.2 stock no root. When I got root on 4.4.2 and started using a couple modules in xposed along with greenify it only got better. The first run down of my battery netted 58 hours with about 12% battery left.

I noticed after using my Bluetooth for an extended period that I now have two Bluetooth objects listed under battery usage. One has the Bluetooth logo and the other has a system styled logo with a small Bluetooth logo embedded into it. Not sure if that will be of help to anyone or not.

I've seen BT go nuts and actually drain my battery (25% battery drain per hour), but rebooting fixed it. Beginning to think that maybe JB is more stable right now.
I also get several random reboots everyday if I try to do to much at once.

Lol so LG has let out an update that basically ruins using earphones due to a hissing sound and this bluetooth bug which actually could also be a security concern. Nice work on their part... At least they mad the status bar icons white

It's a known bug on G2 4.4.2. They are supposedly working on a patch. I can attest that 4.2.2 is more stable. Being that one of the best things about our device is the awesome battery life, the fact that kitkat drains the battery is inexcusable. If the ROM wasn't done baking they shouldn't have released it. Some say it's false reporting. In my case it isn't. I went back to 4.2.2 and have zero issues.

Same here I have d801 and it says 6% is being used but its off

my phone is draining the same way

Even though I see Bluetooth listed, battery drain is actually better from 4.2.2, without doing a clean install of KK.

Factory reset fixed this for me.

I noticed this today, I never use bluetooth but have 5% battery drain. I can't say that battery life has got worse in KitKat, I still get the best part of 2 days use out of it. I'll try a factory reset, if that doesn't solve it I'll patiently wait for a fix.

The battery is the same if anything slightly better for me on kk

And i don't really hear a hissing noise in my headphones. So I'm having no bugs in kk. I love it, just can't wait for root

just a thought, to all those with draining, did you have apps disabled\services disabled whilst updating?
just guessing.

Correct - the 4-6% Bluetooth "usage" (it isn't draining the battery!) is a service called BlueSleep. It is merely being (poorly) reported in a manner that worries the masses. Expect an AOSP reporting fix sometime.
Lots of misguided hysteria around this...
(The 25% "drain" issue is poor wipe/flash regime.)

Hey guys, I also had a problem with huge battery drain with bluetooth. When I connected my phone per Bluetooth with speakers while charging, the battery needed for 50 % charging 9 hours.
I solved this issue by doing a factory reset in twrp.
