[Q] Battery Issues - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
Since a couple of days I use the Streak with Pocket Informant as my agenda and tasks / project manager. before that I used my Palm Treo for that, but the screen is so amazing... how can one ignore that
Anyways, normally the battery wouldn't drain that much but I noticed since I use the streak as my main agenda the battery life isn't great at all anymore.
I already disabled the autosync option for Pocketinformant(tasks) and the agenda(stock), but it doesn't seem to have any effect. For example battery indicator pro says my battery is used as following:
- 1h 30 min since 100% charge @ 92%
mobile stand-by 45%
wifi 26%
phone inactive 22%
display 5% (it is set at 0% brightness)
android system 2%
Before I made the agenda change the battery would be at 98 / 95% or so. I wouldn't say I use the phone more than I did before and I can't imagine that the stock agenda consumes that much. Pocket Informant reads events from the stock agenda and is a separate tasks manager.
Do any of you have an idea about what I can do too see what is up with the drainage or is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
ps: while typing this post it dropped to 90%

Which ROM has best battery timings?

I have MINICM 7 Pro v6 for my Mini Pro, its battery timing is about 15 hours. Normal use with wifi and internet of barely 15-20 minutes, I guess its bad? I have the standard battery which comes with the phone. Please help me, I have tried the procedure of calibrating your battery (that drain battery totally again and again procedure)
What ROMs have the best battery timings?
ok, my english is not so good, but i try to write a few letters:
i phone around 30 minutes, send around 30 sms per day, 3G is always on, Bluetooth is around 1h on. With this "settings" my mini pro with GingerDX V17 hold the battery over 60 hours. - Bevor Ginger DX i have Stock rom (2.1) on my phone. with 2.1 an Black theme my battery hold nearly 100 hours.
At night i turn my phone into flight mode. So i have my alarm clock and safe the battery.
But if i surf in the www with the phone or install apps from the market, the battery drains quick

can you confirm these timings? This is almost 3-4 days always on!!
I never ever exceeded 2 days, with normal usage and 3G on...
Now, on MiniCM7 Pro, I can confirm the timings of TH3KiD: around 15 hours, with "normal" usage (3G on, several SMS, some calls).
Yes, it is so. I´ve also the Brightness from the Display at 40%. Over night at flight mode my battery drain only ~2% (~6-7h).
I don´t sync any apps (no Contakts with google, Facebook or beautiful weather). I do all this things manual (beautiful weather for example ~ 5 times a day). I´ve also turned off the "Background data" (unless i surf at the market). so my phone will make no updates or other thins, which drains the battery unnecessary.
Ok, the most people say at this point: "if i turn off the most features of a smartphone, i don´t need a smartphone..." - But a long standby time is for me more important than a update at (for example) facebook every half an hour or less.
I´ve found out, that the facebook app at the home screen also without automatic update drain the battery. After i´ve delete them from my homescreen, the battery drain not so fast.
Now i completely uninstall facebook from my phone. I make all the things on facebook with ma Internetbrowser (Opera mini)
Without this settings i also have to charge my phone every night.
I install GingerDX two times. At first my battery drain vom 100% to 10% in ~10h. So i made a full wipe and delete all "things" from my phone, than i install GingerDX a second time an since this time my battery hold about 60 hours.
The same at the update from 1.6 to 2.1 (original SE). First time the battery drain very fast, after the second installation it works great.
i post this also at "androidhilfe.de" (post 66) and the user "FOE" (post 69) can confirm this times. (at this time we have Stock SE Android 2.1 at the phone)

Q ] Battery life!!!

Hello,can anyone tell me how longer last your battery life with normal usage?
i've tried everything but my battery last less than 2h in normal usage, and not to be able to unplug the charger is pain in the head
Am using MiniCM7 by nobodyatall!
Thanks in advance : ]

Mine used to last about 4 days on stock rom, playing with nAa's kernel kind of buggered it up for me, so i'm not using that anymore. I've got my battery back to about 2 days now, but it's very erratic.
But that doesn't happen to everyone, so i'm not sure where the problem is with that.

Check what is hogging ur battery. The time the screen is on is what hogs battery the most, but in ur case is very extreme.
Did this happen right after u flashed the rom? or after a few days?
Try a full wipe and reinstall it. If problem still persist try a different rom.
If still no solution then most probably ur battery is dying on u. Best if u can test with a spare batt to cross out battery problem.
mine in standby (with 3g enabled all time) goes between 18 to 27 hours, depends of the signal strength and signal fluctuations
using it, (with 3g enable all time) goes between 4 to 6 hours depends on what I was doing and if I was static or on the move.
app running almost all time:
beejiveLM
facebook
smooth Calendar
google services
dspManager
Multiling Keyboard
account & sync settings
background data - enable
auto-sync - enable
accounts
1- twitter
1- friendcaster for android
1- facebook for android
1- gmail account (calendar, contacts, mail)

smartassv2 min 19 max 691
undervolt
swap of 512MB
compcache 26%
jit - enable
surface dithering - disable
SD cache - 1024Kb
On my X10mini depends how often I use it.
- 3,5hours of hard playing (from max to absolutely depleting the bat)
- 12 - 16 hours of normal using (internet, sms, calling, gprs still enabled)
- 2 days standby (with few sms, some calls...)
Latest minicm7 with latest nAa kernel, cpu smartassv2 122 - 600 (now at 691), swap partition 200MB, brightness about 25% - 50%...
i'm running MiniCM9-3.0.3 with the nAa-ics-04 kernel on my mini pro and the bat lasts ~10hours by normal usage (sms, calls, a LOT of twitter, g+)..
before i had minicm7 with stockkernel and the bat lasts ~6 hours.. after deleting the facebook app it lasts ~8 hours.. (the fb app used nearly 20% bat and i haven't used it..)
try to delete all apps you don't use..
sorry for my english.. i'm not a native speaker =P
On my battery stat page. Display is always at the top, somewhere around 60% :S brightness is set to Auto and I barely ever use phone in bright light. Display off time is set to 30 secs, but i cant make it any less. I need it to be this much. The whole battery timing is around 18 to 24 hous in normal usage. Dunno how long standby should be, never tried. Using MiniCM7.

E2333 battery fast drain on idle mode

hello everyone,
I used to have great battery life on M4 aqua dual 16GB version E2333 with stamina mode on
it only dropped 1% per hour in idle mode, now it will fall a whole 4-5% in idle mode
the device is only 2 weeks old
the most recent changes I did were installing :
colornote
evernote
google keep
swiftkey beta
and I think I may have logged in facebook app but not sure if this was prior to battery fast drain or not
I checked power management in settings and it is not pointing any fingers toward any battery hogger application
I just need help on how to troubleshoot this and I swear that i will immediately make a full system backup
if it goes back to tiptop shape
I'm using stock android Build 26.1.B.2.147 not rooted
Solved

it doesnt seem to be consistent sometimes the battery will be minimal sometimes not i think it depends on what running in the background however the batery life is acceptable
I sleep 8-9 hours and my battery goes -4%. You should enable more STAMINA features and disable exceptions. You should delete Facebook app since you don't use it. If it doesn't help, considering your phone is not brand new, change your device's battery and don't let it go under 20%.

Improved stock android battery total standby calculation?

Dear developers,
Thanks for your great apps and support. Thanks to many of you my Samsung G901F can last about 3 days standby. The stock rom 6.01 only gave about 30 hours. I used CF auto root, greenify, Xposed framework, Amplify, setCPU, Appopsxposed, Bootmanager, Wakelock detector pro...
But I still got an question: Can someone program a better battery standby app and replace the stock?
The android 6.01 stock battery standby calculation is deceptive. If you use the phone in the beginning, like play a game for a few minutes it will remember and keep that battery usage in the equation to calculate your future usage.
This is just strange! Because the same usage cycle usually never repeats.
Perfect calculation would be to have 2 calculations and shown to user:
1) add an option that calculates standby time as in deep sleep battery drain .
2) and another calculation based on current drain (screen on, using app). So there are actually 2 different calculations.
Did someone program such app or stock battery calculation ?

Any way to turn off data when screen is off? Battery saving tips?

Hi Guys,
battery life is super important for me because i am all day outside. I had an asus zenfone 3 zoom before (5000mah battery, total beast with 7-10 hours SOT). The asus had a battery saving mode that would "turn off data after screen goes off".
This mode was perfect for me, because the phone was working normal when i use it, and when it lock it, it drains almost zero battery, no background activity (its like being in airplane mode). I wonder if there is any way to do the same with the Mate 10? Any workarounds or suggestions?
With the mate 10 i notice that there is a lot of battery drain when the screen is off. If i go to sleep i will lose 15% the next morning.
I dont like the normal battery saving mode of the mate 10 because it makes the phone slower when im using it, and whatsapp messages/emails dont come through unless i open the app manually, which is annoying. So its not a solution i can use all day.
Any other tips are welcome.
My Mate 8 had this under in the power management tab in the phone manager app. My Mate 10 arrived today, I'll inbox it later and check. 15% drain is excessive, most are reporting 0 to 1% drain.
Ok let me know
Sorry for the late reply, got too carried away testing my new phone
Go to the Phone Manager App, click on the battery symbol in the left bottom corner, then click on the settings icon. The settings icon is in the top right hand corner. There you will see the options to disable mobile data and wifi during sleep.
Install "Brevent" from playstore and set it up using ADB (if you r not rooted)
Will help to boost your batt throughout the day
