Battery Life?

I've had the HTC Aria for about four days now and my biggest issues is the battery drains to quickly. At first I attributed it to use because android phones prompt you to use them more often. However, even without use it still drains pretty rapidly. Does anyone know of a solution to this issue software wise. I have already turned off Bluetooth, GPS and Wifi. Are there other solutions

I got mine on Saturday, and I've actually gotten pretty good battery life out of it. I'm still in the habit of charging it every night, like I had to do with my old WinMo phone, but I think I could probably go two days without a charge. And that's with GPS / data always on, Wifi parts of the day, and pretty heavy use, since I'm always playing with it.
Have you tried something like Advanced Task Killer to keep apps closed that you aren't using? You can also adjust your screen brightness and timeout to try and save power.

It says that of my power is used by cellular idle or something like that 50% of it was used by that. Could it be my AT&T service

I don't get more than 10 hours out of mine. When I know I will be out all day, I turn the screen brightness almost all the way down to help conserve energy.

Good as it Gets.
With basic usage (some texting, a few calls and some market browsing or playing a game here and there) about 2 to 2.5 days without charging. Maybe the ones having issues with there phone sucking battery have to many widgets running.
In my current configuration I am only using 3 of my screens and only 3 widgets [favorites (small one), HTC clock/weather widget, and the HTC calendar widget (small)]. I have my work email checking every 30 minutes for syncing. I also have gmail and the default mail app pulling mail. I run ATK but only to kill apps on startup (cause it runs almost everything), other than that you don't need a task killer as you will have to reload these tasks next time and that will drain battery. I don't use it after that to kill anything. I am also running my screen at about 30% brightness.
Just some tips, widgets are nice, but they suck the battery life as well as constant updates. Check to see what you are running and disable/remove what is not needed or adjust sync times.

My battery life is fine. I got two days over the weekend with light usage. You need to look at what services are running and disable any widgets that you dont need. You may also want to look at the sync settings and turn off things you dont use (such as news). You do not need a task killer.

Also, see this post:

some quick tips:
1) disable market notifications - Market -> Downloads -> Notifications -> 'Don't Notify Me
2) Lower the sync times for your social network apps like twitter and facebook (or make them manual)
If you still suffer, have a look at some of the great tips HERE on the Cyanogenmod forums...ignore 1 and 3.

Also one might do *#*#4636#*#* then change phone setting from WCDMA to GSM .... Then that get little more out of battery...

It's critical that you turn off auto-sync; I have found that it absolutely destroys battery life.
Before I was losing maybe 5-10% every hour on standby, but ever since turning off auto-sync, I'm still sitting at 100% battery after 5 hours of standby.
Turning off mobile data/Wi-Fi doesn't make an impact on battery life, in my experience.

I edited your response..
Auto-Sync in itself is not going to be a problem.. Depends on what's syncing. EVERYONE will have different battery life because everyone uses their phones differently. Different configurations, different accounts used, different amounts of traffic on those accounts, not to mention actual usage patterns.

90% of people will have *slightly* different battery life.
5% of people will drain it fast.
5% will use it like a voice phone and might even get 16 hrs out of it.
But to turn off all apps makes for an invalid test because then you're testing the phone as if it were a non-smartphone, like a voice only phone.
I think the battery is too small for me and probably too small for most people. I look forward to fat batteries for this great phone.

My wife gets 2+ days out of hers... The battery is not that much smaller than my Nexus One, a more powerful phone, and I'm a power user with a lot of crap running including IMAP push mail, weather syncing... I look in at Market, Facebook, Twitter and manually sync those types of things etc.. I can easily get a full day out of it, off charger ~8am back on the charger midnight, 20-30% left. What I don't do is sit staring at my phone all day or play games for 8 hours at work, nor do I use it as a mp3 player..

4.4.2 battery life is terrible

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in battery life since the 4.4.2 patch?
At first it seemed comparable to 4.3 battery life: 6-7 hours of screen time with Chrome:The Battery Hog. It also didn't discharge AT ALL when idle. Maybe 1% overmight or so. That is with most programs set to sync hourly and wifi off when screen is off.
However, I've let it fully discharge one time from 100% to 0% battery. It turned off and i immediately put it on the charger. I cant remember if it was since then or a few charging cycles later (100%-15% ), but now it uses a lot when idling: around 5% per hour or so. Screen on time is also terrible. See screenshots for details.
Can you guys share your thoughts on this matter?

More than likely it is your Google Play Services that are killing your device. This issue has been occurring ever since 4.4.x

Is that fixable or do i have to wait for a new update?
Also, I remember that the battery drain started when i connected to a friends phone to tether via his phone over wifi. Does that have to do anything with it?

I cleared data on Google play services, and put my location settings to battery saving. The GPS on all the time drains the battery. With moderate use, I'll last about 10 hours.

You could use an application called Disable Service but it requires root access.

My video playback battery life have dropped significantly since I updated to from 4.3 to Kitkat
details can be found here
The following are using MX Player Pro, H/W+ Hardware acceleration, 720p videos( in 16:10 aspect ratio to fill the full screen). I seen no visible change between 4.4/4.4.1/4.4.2 AOSP in battery life.
Android 4.3(AOSP), Full brightness(15/15 or 583 nits), 6 hour 6 min for 86% or 14.1% per hour
Android 4.4(AOSP), Full brightness(15/15 or 583 nits), 5 hour 15 min for 86% or 16.4% per hour
Android 4.4.2 (DJLKang 4.4.2+ElementalX 2.5), Full brightness(15/15 or 583 nits), 5 hour 30 min for 86% or 15.6% per hour
Android 4.3, 2/3 brightness (10/15 or 389 nits), 8 hour 5 min for 86% or 10.6% per hour
Android 4.4.2, 2/3 brightness (10/15 or 389 nits), 7 hour 20 min for 86% or 11.7% per hour
Android 4.3, 1/3 brightness (5/15 or 194 nits),10 hour 41 min for 86% or 8.06% per hour
Android 4.4.2, 1/3 brightness (5/15 or 194 nits),10 hour 13 min for 86% or 8.4% per hour

I usually get 5 1/2 hours of on screen time max. Pretty annoying.

That's pretty normal if you are maxing your brightness all the way.

This is the battery time I got while using it for two days. Not bad in my opinion.

I keep my brightness almost all the way down. And I have location services, and always listening turned off.

Okay so ive had another cycle. Now, it drained 10% overnight. The screen on time seems okay but ive switched to art with this cycle, and ive seen people get 10+ hours with that.
Im going to try to delete google play services data as you suggested, but it doesnt use as much battery, as you can see in the screenshot.
Android system and Media server seem to use the most energy, though at the time of the screenshot, 80% of my screen on time was whilst using chrome. Also, theres this process called com.android.chrome:sandboxed_process4. What is that? I have googled it, but to no avail. Ive seem multiple imstances, ranging from 0 to 4, in my battery usage list.

Thank you for the information, but im no IT specialist. Could you decode the page for me and tell me in short what it does?

These are screenshots with the tablet idling. Ive let it rest for 8 hours straight, and havent opened any apps.
Seems like it drains 5% per 8 hours. Previously, it drained 0-1% overnight (also 8 hours). Seems like there is the problem.
Wifi seems to drain a lot too, even though i have the "Keep wifi on during sleep" setting set to never.

Yes, I am. Thanks. I will give it a try.

Or install app ops since you're rooted and disable keep awake for all android stuff, especially Google play services and Android system . For some reason Googles devs thinks drainage is less important than whatever they do but fortunately we can adjust their mistakes to our benefit. I get 3 days 10+h SOT. When the Google devs push out an update for something outside of play store "android OS" usually keeps awake until a reboot is made but luckily it doesn't happen too often.
And also, use a superior browser. I recommend Next or Dolphin.

At my age (15) I do not have much experience in developing/understanding how operating systems work but I'll try to explain it in a way that is understandable:
Android and pretty much any modern operating system has a way of "sandboxing" applications or programs. Basically picture a sandbox with sand in it. The sand cannot escape the sandbox because it is around that box. (This is where we actually get the term 'sandbox')
When Google was designing Android, they basically made an implementation into the system that reduces the frequency and impact of application security issues. With that being said, this was made so you can use the default file systems and such without harming the system itself. If you were modifying the system, you could potentially open your device to a exploit. The sandbox features come into play so it can isolate your application from other applications. If it wasn't like this, any application could execute code to steal data/code from other applications. You can still do this with exploits in the kernel and such, but it isn't as easy as it seems.
You may have heard of the software on Windows called Sandboxie which is designed to to prevent "permanent changes" changes to your system, files, etc. It basically separates the system from the application itself. It is commonly used to test to see if software that you have is infected. In short, this is similar to what Android has.
--
The site I linked you in my other post basically explains how Android creates these processes in a more technical manner. But that link was specifically for Google Chrome, but it can be pretty much used in any other application if needed.

I would suggest greenify and put everything but the system to sleep and see if that does it for you. If you unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root and install a custom ROM on your tablet you can use a custom kernel and adjust (in layman's terms) the power your tablet consumes and when. You can remove some of the system apps you may not use and cut back on ROM usage too. Google adds all kinds of apps to the system that will function just fine as user apps.

Lollipop battery drain

I got the German 5.0.1
IS it only me or is it general with the battery drain?
Even in Flight Mode, I am losing the battery in a couple of hours

Hello everyone, two days ago i downgrade to kitkat, I decide to re-put Lollipop because I'm documenting on various forums Italian and foreign, and this drain the battery does not have all .... well for my case I installed the GSAM Battery Monitor from Play Store that seems to work well with Lollipop. I left the phone idle and discovered that the deep sleep has never been reached. The phone was always active, even when locked.
GSAM has reported that the app "Unified Daemon (EUR)" was among the top three applications that consume battery.
According to various forums is a preloaded application from Samsung that unifies information like weather across other applications preloaded. I really do not know what good has this application.
I tried to turn it off, and in fact the phone goes into deep sleep with consequent consumption "standard" like KitKat.
The downside of disabling this app is that you lose the weather from the lock screen and through the window of the cover S-view, while the widget on the home seems to work perfectly.
Obviously there is to say that others should do the same test and see if this app will appear among the first applications to battery consumption.
A greeting

disable Facebook app (use web version) and turn off wifi when not being used. My battery usage has transformed! See other thread....70% after 10 hours. 56% after 13 hrs! Lollipop is buggy. Manage wifi manually and you're battery will be awesome.

^^^^this^^^^ . Me too. Disabled damn Facebook and it a few Google apps and I'm back to normal. The main culprit is the stupid Facebook. To make easy access of it from Web just make a shortcut on your desktop.

I will leave wifi on today regardless of whether or not it is connected and see if things get warm / battery usage ramps up. If it doesn't it might indicate an issue with FB alone or at least prove whether or not wifi is stopping the phone from going into deep sleep after a period of non use. Yesterday having left FB and wifi off, resulted in 40% battery remaining after 16 hrs usage. It never got hot once. This is my yard stick.
Lots of users are having issues with the latest update to facebook - just look at the comments on the play store!
Anyone else been having high battery usage but are not users of FB app on lollipop?

@gasland Here is what i did.
I uninstalled
Facebook, Facebook pages, Facebook messenger and com.facebok."something"....
I removed everything that had the name "facebook" and rebooted my device.
Battery has been okay since then.
Ps: I also froze "unified demon" as I don't use either of the weather services or finances or all that crap.

App standby and Doze problem in M.M.

Hello:
App standby in developer option is showing all my app active, even the calculator, fm radio, adobe reader, it is supossed to inactive them if i don't use them and there is a lot of apps that i never used and they are "active". All my apps have set to optimize in battery and i was having better battery life in L.L.. Perphaps performance is a lot superior on marshmallow. In another hand, Doze is not working, my device idlle is eating 1% or more a hour.
Does anyone having this issue?
I have no autosync but notification on with whatsapp, badoo, happn, tinder, facebook, facebook messenger and precisition set to accurate. No games, just chrome an apps allready named. I am getting 12hs of baterry with 5-6 hs of Sot.
Now i have disable personal data on google play store, google play service and motocare in security.
Thanks in advance!

idle is draining more than 1% because when the device is idle the location services and fb notification services are still running in the background.

By default Doze doesn't kick in until your screen has been off for 30 minutes and then it checks to see if your phone is motionless - if it isn't (ie. it's in your pocket and you are walking around) then the 30 min timer kicks in again.
This is, btw, an absolutely over-simplified description. Basically if you are checking your phone every few minutes or walking around with it in your pocket, it's not going to Doze.
In your case, I wouldn't worry about what is active/inactive, instead I'd look at what wakelocks might be causing your battery drain. An app like "Wakelock Detector" or "Better Battery Stats" can tell you this but you have to be rooted.
Did your phone come with Lollipop and subsequently updated OTA to MM? If so, and you haven't done so already, a factory reset would probably help (or at least eliminate one possible battery drain cause).

You have Badoo, Facebook and Facbook messenger with location set to accurate + 5 hrs of SoT!!!!! 12 hours is a Miracle!!!!
What do you expect more? Sun, Moon and The stars?

Thanks all for your answers!
-Update via OTA, factory reset, wipe cache.
-Allready know how doze works, doing test in the nigth, phone on a desc, idle for like 9hs.
-Same apps than in L.L but worse battery. In L.L these apps didn't keep my device awake, now they do. Y checked and the one that make my device awake was Messenger. Uninstalled, tested and device didn't awake with screen off. Like 2 hours laters, same test, now facebook start keeping the device awake... I am checking manually because i didn't root it. I am trying too to see if this problem has to be with high presicition on location service or just facebool and messenger apps, but ****ing tinder don't work with battery saving ubication. I know all are ****ty apps but i love to **** strangers hahahahahhaha.
In the other hand, i had read that in nexus phone and other M.M phones in the developer options app didn't use figure "inactive", in my phone all apps are active and can't toogle to inactive!
Again, thanks a lot for your help!

Also, dissable a system app called motorols notification service, didn't know what it do but was with google play services an Dm services in not optimizing apps. Anyone now what it is? All functionality work the same!

Hi. Don't you have a problem with Facebook Messenger notifications? I set it to not optimize, but my messages are not received immediately. Sometimes even after 5 minutes after turning screen off I don't have notification and must turn screen on.

Battery drain anyone ? Oxygen 11 OnePlus 8 Pro

After upgrading to Oxygen 11 i do feel there's battery drain.
Tried to factory reset + Cache Wipe but still same.
Put display on 60Hz & FHD+ but no go..

what are the top drainers when you go to :
1) settings
2) battery
3) press on the ellipse ( three vertical dots ) in the upper right corner and choose 'battery usage'.
. . . for me, my largest app usage is aodNodify at a whopping 20 percent, followed by messages.
4) press on the ellipse again and choose 'Show full device usage'.
. . . for me it's Screen at 20 percent, and then Wi-Fi at 11 percent.

I get 10 hours with 120hz and FHD so no need to disable that.
Tbh besides what @old_fart said the main killers are
5G
Facebook
Not wiping after a major system upgrade ie; 10 to 11
Poor kernel
Misbehaving Google play services
AOD (looks great, kills battery)
Charging overnight (eventually this will murder your battery)
Gaming
Video calling
Misbehaving rogue app.
Misbehaving launcher.
Ads ( block them all)
You get the picture, I've compiled a large list of problems and suggested alternatives in the review section of this forum, can't remember which one but a lot of good tips are in there, give them a look.

Attached Battery status.
The Os was cleaned after the upgrade to Os 11.
AOD - is switched off.
5G - Not working anyway.. disabled.

Good to all that.
Are you on stock OS or any kernels installed? Magisk ROMs?
It's possible if your phones just been set up that it may be backing up/ syncing Google photos.
Go through your apps and make sure that there set up optimise instead of intelligent control.
Facebook is always a killer, maybe use the browser version it's not much different, personally I'd delete the account and every bit of info in it, hate Facebook

I would say OOS11 drains more battery than OOS10. I game a lot and my battery lasted longer on OOS10.

Depends on the game for me.
Emulation is a good test and it runs about the same for me.
I have tweaked my CPU thresholds though.
So there is no difference in up or down actions or peak speeds, all of which i reduce

Stock mate.
I've used some magisk ROMs then I realised I can actually make the changes I want to myself.
I've used CRDroid and PE but I missed the OOS camera, battery was very similar to what i have in OOS but gaming does burn the candle a lot faster

Here's that list I made in the standby drain the in the review section, I made it a while back so some may no longer apply
"Change 5G to 4G
Remove Facebook use web based
Remove Facebook messenger use web based
Remove Twitter use web based
Remove any ad based apps pay for the pro version
Turn off gestures like lift to wake
Change from QHD to FHD (No difference)
Allow auto brightness
Turn off WiFi overnight
Turn all updates to manual not auto (play store)
Remove any so you don't use
Change back up to once a month (WhatsApp)
Turn off location history (Google)
Use titanium to remove any system apps you don't need
Don't allow anonymous usage statistics for any app ever.
Don't allow tracking cookies on any website
Use adaway (root needed)
Don't open web pages in Google app (I use Samsung browser)
Don't use xposed.
If you game you will not get high SOT scores, period.
Don't bother with battery saving apps or monitoring apps.
Streamline your apps, if you don't use it, remove it.
Don't allow WiFi scanning (as in letting other apps use it when it's not on)
Never allow personalised ads.
Never allow notifications from websites
Always decline cookies unless your absolutely have to allow some tracking (common sense prevails here)
Optimise as many apps as possible unless it affects performance.
Don't allow apps to remain open in the notification area.
Change your launcher, my preferred launcher is lawn chair and this did actually burn up some battery when compared to the OnePlus launcher.
Don't use live widgets (yes they look cool, but they annihilate your battery)
Live wallpaper, again very cool, but battery burners.
Again! Don't charge overnight, make a note of your percentage then see what it is in the morning, you shouldn't be losing more than 5% really, if you've done well then it'll be reflected here, the good SOT results will follow.
Turn off live read outs of network speed, RAM usage in the status bar.
Turn off NFC unless in use.
Leave location on in quick settings.
Don't overcharge your phone, IE: overnight
Don't allow your phone to fully deplete the battery.
Whatever anyone says, this does 100% damage batteries, there is no argument here and I won't entertain anyone who says otherwise, Ive seen through real life tests what this results in, bloated, inefficient, possibly dangerous lithium batteries.
Keep your phone out the sun.
Keep it out of extreme cold.
Keep your device clean dust free.
Snapchat, Viber, house party, apps like that tends to use more battery as they don't have great dormancy periods.
Apps like speed test by Ookla tend to have location tracking, similarly they tend to turn themselves on and off when they feel like it, my advice, install test and uninstall.
Allow a couple of battery cycles between tweaking sets, to give you an idea of how much of a difference you've made.
Use BBS to see what is being used, once you've removed problems, remove BBS.
I've just written this from the top of my head so o probably missed some things, the general idea is to keep your device clean and fresh, remove files you don't need any more.
Keep an eye on apps that misbehave or aren't wanted, index your folders so they aren't a mess
The more good things you do means the more potentially bad apps you can have on your phone, eg if you really need Facebook, you could keep it so long as you clean up other areas of your phone"
Good luck

Based on some years of experience i would add to this amazing and great list:
- Only use either wi-fi or 3g/4G/5g at a time. Alternate between them. ( ex. leave home - off wifi - on 4G, arrive home - off 4G - on Wi-Fi ) Don't use both on all day long. Battery will drain.
- Use sync off ( Playstore (mentioned above) and "sync app data" ). Only turn on when you want the phone to update and shut if off after.

Disabled some weird facebook management apps and it looks a bit better, currently 25hr's with no charge, 68% battery left and 1:48hr's of SOT.
Will test it for few days and update.

Not the most apps used today but still heading for 10 hours.
Lot of painful lost bets today.

Well, my battery now lasts longer on idle, but SOT while using it is still 6hrs
Some other guys from Facebook groups shows about 10hr's of SOT with QHD + 120HZ..

Not sure I can believe that tbh, QHD just kills the battery
