whats wrong mate? please speak on topic

I'm on pie and haven't noticed any battery issues so far.
But i did factory reset my phone before I upgraded to pie.
So if your experiencing battery issues you'll might want to factory reset your phone. Backup first though!
Or you have a bad app draining your battery.

I am also on official Pie and it does seem like my battery life might be a little worse than it was on beta 1. My battery life was outstanding on beta 1, where I did a "dirty flash" from Oreo. Doing a factory reset before flashing official Pie, it does seem a little bit worse, but still well within in the realm of being manageable.

Mine is SM-N950F so we got the official pie sometime in Feb/March.

I just put a new battery in mine as I always do around the 2 year mark. Previous to the pie update my battery would last 10hrs easy. Now it's pretty ****, I find myself recharging the phone at lunchtime.
But otherwise everything else is smooth and fast.

I am in the same boat as the battery is performing poorly in recent times. I have two questions for you
1. Where did you buy your battery from? I don't trust Amazon ones, I don't think they're reliable enough and are mostly fakes.
2. How did you install the battery since Note 8 doesn't have removable back panel? You took it to a service center?
Thanks,

First time ever that I didn't do it myself, I just put it in to have a new screen, frame and battery, charge port replaced so it's like a new phone again.
I normally do it all myself and just buy a decent or own Samsung battery but I didn't have the time.

Also, I use it with my gear watch so bluetooth and 4g is running the whole time and I'm getting half the battery life I was with oreo with the same setup. I personally think the adaptive battery is garbage doing nothing just an smoke and mirrors.
Having it on medium power save it says gives extra battery life but actually timing it..... It doesn't.

FWIW after performing the latest update this week, I noticed yesterday that my battery performance seemed improved. Obviously it's early days, but perhaps something has changed in the April releases that has improved battery consumption?

I only just received the March security update so ok, looking forward to a change

I'm in the US on Verizon. My battery life has decreased, but not in a significant way that makes me feel that something is really, really wrong. For what it's worth, I never did a factory reset.

3500 mAh battery for Droid X works for Droid X2

Just in case anyone wanted to know, the 3500 mAh batteries that work for Droid X also work for Droid X2 (although most websites that sell these batteries never really make that claim for some reason).
I was using this battery on my DX and loved it. Unfortunately I went swimming and forgot I had my phone with me. Luckily, Asurion sent me a DX2 as a replacement but I was worried the extended battery wouldn't work (as it turns out, the water also killed the battery).
I took a chance and bought a 3500 mAh battery off ebay for about $19.95 and it worked perfectly.
I still have issues with getting a correct battery reading (the phone always thinks the battery is dead by the end of the day when in fact I still have ~40% left) but I just ignore it.
I use my phone HEAVILY - My day starts at 3am and go to bed around 9-9:30pm. I'm constantly web surfing, using facebook, email, weather (every app constantly "pushing" data or refreshing every hour), automatic brightness on, about 2-3 hours of streaming music, play Words with Friends, ZDefense and other battery hogging games, and STILL have plenty of battery left to last me all day.
Yes, this battery if physically HUGE but to me it's totally worth it.
SO in case anyone was interested in using one of these monsters, just know the DO work for the DX2
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info i had 3500 mah,ill try to look for it for my dx2.
Question
Hey,
Could the phone be re-calibrated so that it properly reads the battery level?
I understand that there is a method to recalibrate batteries, but with this battery being so much larger would it still work?
Also what rom are you using with the phone?
Thanks!
Ed
If anyone finds this battery I'm curious to how big it is. Please post a link.
If recalibration does not do the trick then there must be some code in the software that tells the phone how much capacity to expect.

Here is a link to the motorola forums where some guy has the 3500 mAh Gorilla Gadgets battery and has 2 pictures to show you:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/383083
I used to have this exact battery on my DX but it died after I took a dive in the pool. Like I said before, it definitely adds some heft to the phone but I really like it. It makes it more sturdy in my hand. By the way, I don't use a case of any kind.
Since then I just went on ebay and bought the exact battery (minus the Gorilla Gadgets casing) for about 10 bucks less. Works exactly the same. I just searched for "3500 mah battery droid x" on ebay and then did my research as far as a reputable seller is concerned. Once I found someone I could trust, I bought it. It's been working great for about a month now.

I'm not using any ROMs of any kind but if I remember correctly, ROMs on the DX did calibrate the battery correctly. Not 100% sure on that, though.

Moto Z Freezing and (Possible overheating)

Hey y'all,
Quick question to those who own the Moto Z.
1. What's your battery life and Screen on Time?
2. Do you use the battery mod?
3. Do you use a case with it?
I'm having overheating issues when using the an Incipio Bumper case + TUMI battery mod :
Device randomly freezes (requires a reboot to get out) or it doesn't wake up from sleep.
Bumper only / no Mods: no issues (except the usual terrible battery life)
Battery Mod only: thermal throttling (it lags a fair bit, occasional system shutoff)
(above happens at room temperature or air conditioned room)
There's no overheat warning either and issues persists after hard resets.
Previously there's issues of random freezes every couple few days, but I'm not too sure if it's due to heat or the device itself going bad.
Thanks.
Device: XT1650-03
Build: NPL25.86-30
My Moto Z does sometimes get hot and lag, especially when using the Tumi battery mod. Battery life is pretty bad for me but I work from home so it didn't bother me. I just use the battery mod when I'm going to be out all day.
Interestingly, the new Turbo Power mod doesn't seem to cause the same overheating issues.

I'd recommend getting a warranty replacement from Motorola. Their service is good and will have a new device to you in a couple of days.

Can you confirm that ? The TurboPower Mod I mean.
Yeah. I will probably head up to the local service center, reproduce the issue then and there

I haven't had any issues since using the Turbo Power Mod. But I've only had it a week so the jury is still out.
I regularly use the Incipio Battery Mod and It barely heats up, no throttling whatsoever. My device rarely gets warm, even when gaming. Z's outside the US have a lower clocked 820, maybe that's why.

Hi.
My phone heats up a lot when ambient temperature is around 30-35 deg c. While using it in the sun , phone temps go to 41-44deg c, that's the point where the phone throttles hard. It's so annoying to use it when it gets hot which is almost all the time, coz it's so slow.
Don't even need to talk about battery mod. Literally my phone stops working when it's charging with the mod. Btw I'm using mophie battery mod.
I'm planning to throw this trash away. But I invested in this ****. .
So frustrated.
I'm sure Moto says this is common and it's part of the deal.
Please someone give me a fix. If rooting and custom ROM solves it then I'm down for it. But since my phone's still in warranty period someone confirm if there's any ROM which solves this. .
Thanks in advance.

Hey Sanjay,
I updated to this firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/how-to-update-to-official-7-1-1-moto-z-t3640298
And it solves like 90% of my issues listed above.
My Z sometimes gets warm when using Chrome, but that seems to be a Chrome-specific issue (already had this with my OnePlus Two, which, however, got HOT, not just warm ...) Apart from that, I can say that I'm very happy with my Z which I find to run consistently stable (not using any mods.) I usually get SOT of 3-4 hrs and have to charge every 1.5 days. I'm not an overly heavy user, though, and rarely play games.
Oh, and I'm using the European version, so if it's true that the US version clocks higher, this might explain why my phone never gets really hot (and also doesn't need to throttle aggressively even under high load.)
I have experienced sudden freezing frequently on my Moto Z Nougat 7.0 and still persisted on 7.1.1 - If i put the device down and returned in 10-15mins, it would be back to normal. Other times when I became more frustrated I would turn off, clear cache & reboot. This problem happens between one and two times a day. The battery life and projections are slaughtered upon rebooting from freezes. Safe mode doesn't exhibit the same problems at all so it is probably an app.
Color me SOL.
My Moto Z has been exhibiting a similar issue. It would heat up very easily on even mundane tasks, thermal throttle HARD and stay there until I leave it to cool off before very easily doing do again, at which the phone is already past the point of being uncomfortable to hold. It gets worse still with the Mophie Motomod.
I had to use a custom kernel and deliberately put the CPU in a state that causes it to be slower than a SD400 in order to even get acceptable temperatures.
I can’t do any OTA updates because my particular device would constantly brick every time it would apply an update. It has done this twice already and requires constant reflashing. As such, that guide isn’t of any help for me.
And since Motorola support wouldn’t help me as I didn’t get the phone from the country where I’m living now, I’m SOL. I might just get the Galaxy Note8 and be done with it, especially after receiving 2 electrical shocks from it (although to be fair, that may be more of a result of a bad USB-C cable, but still scary nonetheless).
Aside from the aforementioned shock (more to blame with the cable but the metal design did not help either), it’s been issue after issue since the beginning of this year, and since Motorola refuses to help due to an internal company policy, I’m forced to consider cutting losses and switching back to the Note. Really unhappy with this.

Battery drain in every ROM, WTF?!

Hi all. From a month to now I'm facing an odd problem with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 SD International. First of all I tried several ROMs: both MIUI Global and Developer, LOS, RR, LegendROM, AOSP Extended and XenonHD: in every of these ROMs, battery performances are quite poor: two months ago screen on time was not less than 9 to 10 hours, now it's hard to reach 6 hours of SOT. I have to charge the phone every two days instead of three. I tried several kernels and power consumpion profile but they didn't help. Is my battery faulty? How con I solve this problem?
These are some useful screenshots.

Done, let's try it!
I'm sure it's planned obsolescence. The redmi note 2 had the same bug. It drained quickly and charged quickly too. But when you let it drain to 0%, and powered it back on, it still had 35% left. You could still use your phone for 1h after that.
Overnight charge is okay, just don't let it drain to 0%... You should charge your phone everyday. Not once in 3 day.

*.Do not charger overnight

*.Clean install any Rom and use it until it last and then recharge it again fully. Do it again and again few times.
*.Also, Turnoff mobile data whenever there's no use of it.

Assuming the battery was charged every 3 days, are you usually use it from 100 until it's very low power or empty??
if yes, then your battery might already broken...
its because full cycle usage will degrade battery performance faster, just do full-cycle when the battery meter is not accurate to calibrate it, otherwise don't let it fall under 10% or even 0%.
Believe it or not. Battery gets weaker and phone tends to easily heat up after we begin torturing our phones by unlocking and flashing tons of ROMs very frequently. In such Flashing back fastboot images also doesn't bring back that wow factor of the phone.
This is my personnel experience with 5 Android phones till date. The one locked and unrooted is still giving best backup.
But yea we obviously miss some wow mods of xda like Viperfx being unrooted.
Hi, I've opened a thread describing my situation, you can take a look at it if you want to, it may help in finding the solution. I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
The problem is causing buy the wifi.
The phone have a wifi issue.
I write a tread about this.
I found some strange behavior with my phone for the past two months. Actually, the problem started when they released MIUI 9 and it is getting worse over time. The battery is draining really fast. When I check the usage, android consumes almost 70% of the battery. I had reported the issue to MI support and it seemed ok for a few days when I updated it to 9.6.1.0, but the issue seems to be back now. The only option I have right now is to use other custom roms. Can this happen because of faulty battery? I hope not!
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------
I am facing a similar issue. When I checked battery usage, android is using 70% of the battery. Could this be an issue with battery? I used to plug my phone over night in the past.
Try let your battery drain to 0% so phone will shut down, this is called calibration btw.(do not use play store apps, all they do is deleting some files which do not work like intended)
Then charge till 95% at most and try again. Btw don't charge phone overnight as it was mentioned above and try charging it when the battery drops to 15%-20%. At most let it charge until 95% you don't want to overdo it. If the issue still persists then you might want a battery replacement.

Battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat?

Hi
How is the battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat on tab s3? I'm worried that the oreo update will decrease battery life and performance, so I haven't updated it yet. I read many posts about the oreo update messing up the battery life of Samsung s8 phones, so I'm very sceptical about the oreo update.
Thank you in advance!
In my opinion, the battery consumption is far more worse, than I've expected.
But that's no big news, because it is/was the same with the nougat/oreo update on the galaxy s9.
Got the v8.0.0 April 1 2018 update yesterday. So far zero issues.

But is it significantly worse than with nougat as the os on the tab s3.
A couple of days in and battery life seems to be a lot better than with the previous OS version. I find I don't have to plug in again until well past lunch time where as before I was plugging in at lunch time. So better battery life and the UI is feeling a little crisper and faster.
Sorry long time irregular user here but on my US wifi only S3 9.7 if that's what we're talking about here, the battery usage is waaay worse than it was before the update 2 days ago which I thought previously was excellent. I don't buy tablets to tweak them but it seems like I have to do something, I did try a list of tips I think I found here when I got the device in December I'll try to dig up, assuming that doesn't work I'll be in here asking noobishly how to roll it back.
I did not do a factory reset after the upgrade from nougat to oreo.... It's still lagging.
I have done nothing after the upgrade and continue to have superior battery life than before.

Negative. Did the upgrade and restarted the tablet. I don't do factory resets.
Oreo improved my s3's speed, minimal lag now. The battery does appear to have taken a small hit tho.
Mines turned into a lag fest and the battery is shocking. Its made a top of the range tablet into a dog.
Upgraded to oreo yesterday (Verizon U.S.). No reset here. Battery life seems worse. 10% drained sitting on my desk for 5 hrs doing nothing, mobile data turned off, wifi 'never' on during sleep.
Battery drain is fine for me. Looks better than before.. Stock WiFi not Verizon.
Update: After a few days of battery drain, things seem to have stabilized now. I seem to remember seeing something in Battery settings stating 'determining battery usage' or something similar. So maybe it takes some time to get straight, but all seems normal now.
That said, why was Oreo even released? I see no serious added features or performance gains. Only a few surface changes. But hey, at least we now have numbered badges. Big deal.

Terrible battery life?

My battery life is pretty terrible at the moment, I also had to turn a setting off in the battery options to get it to charge above 75%. Anyone having battery problems? I am thinking the battery might need a good calibration.

Mine seems fine as well. Ran all day yesterday under heavy usage, and was at 40% at 2am when i went to sleep. So far I've been running all day today under moderate usage, and am at 77% (~11pm)
seems pretty good so far, if you use the dual screen you will see decreased battery life..been two days since I got it and it is still in the "analyzing usage" mode for determining battery life. but a normal days of Microsoft teams chats since we are working remote, and moderate use of the mail and web browser with some (15%) dual screen usage was only down to 65% at the end of the day yesterday. Probably will take a week while is adjusts itself and we can see true battery life. Have not seen any way of getting an additional dongle for the dual case charging, just one is supplied in the dual screen box..
Well, it isn't like there is some foolish electron sucking device (like a 120 Hz screen) in it.

If that's the case, that means the phone was partially charged during a 23h period, meaning these are not accurate battery statistics. No biggie, I'm just trying to get an accurate idea of how long the battery lasts

It wasn't. That was off of the first overnight charge after getting the phone. I was at work the whole day and didn't put it back on the charger until I went to bed last night. I'm getting similar results today.

I'm not sure why it reports idle time as the same as the usage time

K thanks. I must not be interpreting that stats correctly. I think the 16h 30m idle must be referring to the LTE radio. Otherwise the numbers don't add up. Were you on WiFi this whole time? I know I am since we are locked down ?

I am assuming the same thing. I'm also just amazed by the battery life because I've been using Galaxy phones for the last few years and I have always had terrible battery life. It seems that the reporting in this phone is rather vague as well. I'm going to use a different app to track usage

It was mostly wifi, but with some spats of LTE

I'm pretty sure this will be my next phone. I just might be a few weeks, since everything is kinda crazy right now. My last LG was my V20 which I loved

My phone idle stat nearly matches the time since a full 100% charge was completed. Bad name for the stat if you ask me.

Did you set up the phone from scratch or use some switch app like lg switch? I had to reset mine to fix app instability and battery issues due to the restore.

OK that makes me wonder. I used the app to reinstall everything, and I'm getting pretty sucky battery life.
If I reinstall from scratch, is there a way to restore settings, emails, and messages from my previous phone?
I'm getting awesome battery
I just pulled some awesome battery life! I've never seen it this good in my life. 1080p screen you are just fine for me. I don't miss my 1plus 7tpro McLean at all.
