Terrible battery life

I have a huge problem with battery life on my G2. Everything started after playing with Kitkat custom roms and kernels.. With every single combinations (rom + kernel) I always have battery life problem. Yesterday I decided to go back to JB and see how it will works, but.. I have same issue on it.. I am using my phone for 19 hours and 2.19h on screen and 27% of battery left. What can I do to deal with this problem?

Also curious...

Few screenshoots from wakelock detector.

Here's an idea: Uninstall all that crap and test again.
Also, post English screenshot if you want help. This isn't a ->Insert your weird language here<- forum.

I'd clean reinstall a new ROM (I'm on cloudy G3 with native kernel) and just use Clean Master to help boost battery life. Mine is very good so far. Around 5 hrs of SOT and almost 3 days of standby.

To the OP,
Are you restarting your phone in either silent or vibrate? That's what caused my 1013 wakelock in the past. I always reboot without vibrate/silent on now, and have not seen this issue.
Secondly, game playing will use a lot more battery than normal. It heats up the phone and works the GPU/CPU. For example, my battery only lasts 3.5 hours with Ingress playing.
Third, looks like you have some Android OS wake locks. Do you have Google now/location settings on and reporting?

[Q] Problem with process "Multimedia" in Battery - Kitkat 4.4.2

Hello everybody,
I've looked everywhere on the web for an explanation of what has been happening since long time ... but I have not found anything.
Why I find into processes that "suck up" battery always "Multimedia" on top level?
I do not understand what could depend on .... moreover the percentage increases more and more during the days.

In the second picture there are 3 packages inside. I exclude the first two because I'm not downloading anything but I think it may depend on "Archivio multimediale".

I have a 32 GB MicroSD with stored music, videos and photos (many) but I thought that once phone start and it runs "multimedia scan" in background should no longer affect the battery consumption after it will be finished.
Please give me an explanation.
Thank you!

I woke up this morning to the same exact problem.
My phone went from fully charged down to 15% while I was sleeping in a little extra. 3 hours and it was dead.
Since then I have installed a few items. Particularly the Apollo app that CM makes you use.
The multi media crap has so far stopped.

Hi, I don't know the App to which you refer. Could you explain me better?
Thank you

Replaced battery, finger crossed

My MAXX has been acting up as of late with what I believe to be battery related issues. The phone would run fine to 50% battery and then become unstable, sometimes it'll all of a sudden drop down to 5% and more often would reboot. Ordered an Onite 3500mah battery off Amazon and installed it. Charging as I am typing this post. Hope it fixes my problems as I still love this phone even being an iPhone 6s owner for a while now. Lenovo can go suck it, it's not Motorola's fault it is not upgrading the MAXX to Lollipop, it's the new management.

Currently sitting at 70% on the same charge as the OP. Seems like the phone is doing OK with the new battery. Will see if it'll make it through the day without a charge. I miss the JB days when the phone legitimately can go without a charge for days. KitKat and Lollipop ended that with a quickness. My iPhone 6s with its tiny battery have very similar battery life to the MAXX on normal use but iOS is much better at idling as I can go without a charge for days on low usage occasions. The MAXX with Greenify, Amplify and Power Nap still can't come close, don't know how the deep doze feature in Marshmallow compares. Guess I'll find out here shortly as CM13 for the MotoX seems to be coming along nicely thanks to a few dedicated members. Guess the trigger point would be when they fix the flashlight issue... They seem to have everything else working.

Quick charge or not?

So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?

R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.

Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".

Swapped in a new battery, faulty battery or

I bought a battery off eBay, but I’m either thinking it’s a dud or that it’s fake, my old battery only lasted 2 hours, but now the new battery stays on 100% for like 3 hours, then rapidly drops to like 40-30% then the phone freezes and I have to power reset it, And it shows 0%, than when I charge it will get stuck on like 45% or whatever and suddenly go to 100%
I tried factory reset, downgrade to marshmallow, problem persists, I’m thinking a fake battery, because I replaced my 7 Plus and it’s good, no need to calibrate that

with eBay you really do take your chances. Same goes with memory cards. Personally I wouldn't go anywhere near ebay for either.
With that said, I bought my replacement battery from here... No problems at all. Battery still going strong after 8 months. You do need to calibrate, but it tells you how to do that when the battery arrives.

Or in states
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Huawei-Mate-8
Ifixit also has great tutorials on how to carry out the replacement procedure. Both on there website and YouTube....

I bought another off another seller, it's all good now, I'm guessing the other was a fake, it weighed like 5 grams less than original. Now I'm getting epic battery life again + marshmallow
