[Q] Chrging Problem

I had about 70% charge on my device... so i thought of charging before Load sheading starts(which can be 16-18 hours a day) and after 1 n half hour... the led was green... so i knew it was full charged.. but when i celetask...i was shocked... my charge has reduced to 30%...
So i switched off n charged thinkin that some program might be eating the charge... i left for another 1 hour n agin the led was green i switched on n the charge was 83% only...
what can be the problem???? any1 have the idea...

what rom r u using?? How old is your battery?. Basically, these batteries they last like 1 year, after that...they do not hold charge as they used to. I'm using evo rom @ the momment and I had it overclocked at 216 (imagine how long my battery lasted...like 8 hours ). Since my battery is more than 1 year old, I underclocked my device @ 136 and now it last 48 hours. Phone is quite slow but I used it as my second device just to have my work's phone number .
Still rocks though .

yes, it's a 960mAh. Try to reduce your overclocking. I've seen a considerable change in battery performance with my phone since then.
Think it's under tools or accesories where you can set your clock mhz. Don't have my phone with me @ the momment

can changing the PagePool be the reason.. i remeber it happening only since i changed the pagepool to 4.5.. i'll try to reflash n see if problem still exists.. n i tried reducing overclocking.. but there r 3 settings.. Omap Clock...Omap GUI n Omap set... which one should i reduce...
just wondering.. is there any extended battery for our device.. sumthing like 1500mAh..??

I did it in 2 of them (omap clock and clicked in action) and also in the OMAP set where I enable it at the mhz that I configured my device.
Regarding the battery, yes you can find 1500.

[Q] My HTC One V drains battery fast and lag

HELP EVERYONE
MY HTC ONE V drains faster even in normal use.
I just use the phone for texting
Wifi OFF
Data OFF
GPS and Location OFF
Bluetooth OFF
from 77% after five hours it became 39%
and also is the HTC One V lag? is it normal? how to run the device so smooth?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE EVERYONE FOR HELPING ME. GRATEFUL :")

Def not normal. My battery with everything on WiFi, sync etc. And playing music for 4 hours my battery is at 72 after 10 hours

You have an app that uses the cpu too much = it eats a lot of battery.

Yea true! Some app is sucking the juice off your battery! See if you have some background app running which is trying to connect to the Internet (Since you have both data n WIfi off). Usually these apps eats up a lot of CPU speed. Could explain the lag issue too
Also does you phone heat up?

Great battery life on this phone. Better than most I've tried. Watch what apps you have installed as well. They might be tapping the juice in the background.

yep something is draining ur battery and eating lot of ram
wt free ram ua having?
and if u use swift key x thn think twice it uses more thn 3mb ram when u nt using 50+ whn ua using
soo think ovr it
dnt keep screen brightness to max
it will drain juice twice faster whn ua at home keep it low and when out 25% is enough to make u see the screen in bright daylight

I definitely agree on that. At this day and age of smartphones and their battery lives, this phone is rather exceptional.

Use apps like Watchdog and Wheres is my droid power to check what is using more cpu/battery! And remove it or find a alternative

Its always better to install apps which are without ads (mostly freewares are like that only). Keep the brightness at optimum coz its the screen which uses most of the battery.
The more the softwares are running at a moment, the more the RAM is used and hence the battery runs out qiuckly.
Dont keep wi-fi or internet connectivity open always.
Or else u can install third party softwares like Juicedefender or Easy Battery Saver.

Oh and most importantly NO TASK KILLERS!

Or you can install the program AdFree, set the adress ip for ads to be ignored and you will have your phone ad free .
And those softwares "juicedefenders" are good on a short term but on the long run it causes problems.
Use it as stock without any programs that help you to have more battery or **** like this..

Check the battery usage through Settings > Power > Battery use.
No need to use a third party app for this (unless you've removed this by any means).
Sometimes software issues cause these problems on the phone (even on the stock ROM). Common culprits are "Phone is idle", "Inactive" and "Android system". If these are reporting battery use above ~10% (and you haven't actually had the phone inactive for most of the time), the problem should be resolved with a factory reset.
Otherwise, unless you've tampered with the bootloader this would be covered under the 24 month manufacturer's warranty (12 outside EU) and the device should be sent in for a battery swap / given back to retailer as DOA.
Also, the device isn't the fastest one. The processor is running at 1Ghz with 512Mb of RAM to go along with it. The solution is to load a kernel with overclocking capabilities (Titanium for example) and crank up the CPU to 1,5 or 1,7 GHz. I would assume all of them can run 1,5 GHz as I suspect the processors are actually underclocked to keep battery life long.
Obviously this would reduce your battery life, but having less than 24 hours of battery life on an unmodified One V is what I would call poor unless you are a heavy user.
I hope this helps.

Actually, a good kernel can improve battery life even if you overclock your cpu. HTC's kernel doesn't come with all the tweaks available for volting and battery life. So if a good dev makes a good kernel, the battery should be the same as running on stock, but with faster performances. Adi_Pat has done a great job with his kernel. I was running it for 2 days until I needed to get a replacement for my phone and now I am waiting to get a new one so I can run it again. I even overclock it at 1.9 ghz and run it for 1 full day and after almost 8h of wifi on, the battery still had 50%. So if you don't have an app that kills your juice, you have definitely a poor battery built in.

does it lag
it was going to buy this phone but saw this vid /watch?v=JptIYZl8qmE that said it was very lag. do you think i should buy this or the sony arc s. plz help

I had some similar issues until I did the following:
Run the battery completely dead until the phone shuts itself off, then put it on the charger with the phone off. Charge it until it is at 100%. Take it off the charger and turn it on. Turn it off again, put it back on the charger until the LED is green, then turn it on again. This helps Android to calibrate the battery.
Install Quick System Info and see what apps are running and how much resources they are using. Also, close all apps, then go into Settings>Apps>Running and see what is running. Look for any apps that shouldn't be running and uninstall them. You have something running in the background and need to get rid of it, this will help you do that.
Uninstall Swiftkey X or Thumbs Keyboard or any other keyboard apps you put on there. Uninstall any weather/clock widgets like HD Widgets or Animated Weather. Use the stock keyboard and stock weather widget (they both work pretty well).
After doing all of this I consistently get home after 10 hours from work with about 60% after moderate usage. I also have almost no lag unless I am playing a more graphically intensive game. Couldn't be happier.

CM 10.1 Eats my battery HELP

So I use CM 10.1 BUT
it eats the battery in 6H to 15% and down in 6H and about 40mins
is it NOT fun.
How i can improve my battery live.
Please Help
Reply at XDA app on SG Gio S-5660

CM 10.1 eats my battery to i think you just have to live with it ) Well you could try the basic stuff , no overclocking , try not to use to much wifi , data or gps because they eat the most , also not to much gaming so basicaly if you use it for calling / sms / music / picture taking and whatever random stuff , it should last through the day. You could also try calibrating the battery if you didn`t do that yet so charge it overnight , preferably in off-state , calibrate the battery and use it all down to 0% , then full charge again and you`re good to go. You can calibrate the battery with many apps from playstore. Also be careful what apps you install , some can stay in the background and use up cpu/ram/battery. I don`t think there`s a problem with the rom , just that Jelly Bean isn`t really made for 800 mhz phones so it stays a lot of time at full CPU speed hence the battery drain. Hope i helped.

Did you know any good app to control that all

R: CM 10.1 Eats my battery HELP
Consider to recalibrate your battery...
Sometimes when I flash a ROM it signs that is at 4% but when I charge it when off it's like I have half of battery.

i'm having the same problem...
after fully charged, it could remain 90% just after less than 10 min use
without surfing...
i wonder if the battery is nearly dead or not!

Same here , but still after that 90% it doesn`t go down that fast , still bearable. It seems that my battery life degraded a lot since i bought the phone , maybe to much meddling around with it. I can barely use some wifi or play some games , no matter the rom. Still CM 10.1 seems to eat more right now . If you use CpuSpy you will see that it stays much of the time at full CPU speed , maybe that`s the issue.

I know my CPU is all time fastest it can be because I need Overclock it (min800-max902) because i don't vant it lags all time

[Q] Xperia Ion - Abnormal Battery Consumption

hi guys
i just got new Xperia Ion 3 days ago .... to be honest moving from Sony Erricsson C901 to Xperia Ion is amazing
the Mobile is VERY STOCK .... no additional programs or anything ... NIL
however ... it's Heating up
and the battery lasts 6-9 hours with mixed use (wifi 2-3 hours + 15 min voice call+ 30% screen brightness + screen on time = about 2-3 hours as well )
tried with Brevia Engine On and Off
and tried with Sleep timeout 15 sec and 30 sec
people told me Smart phones consume battery massively .... but charging phone 2-3 times a day ... makes it undependable and more or less like home land line ...specially when i'm used to charge my old mobile after using 3G , Music , bluetooth tethering and Camera massively every 2 days at least
so please guys help me ...
i tried to reset the phone and see if it fix the problem , however nothing yet
should i send it back to the dealer , or is this normal or xperia ion
here are some screenshots attached
thanks

Screen time 2-3 hours, then you are experiencing a normal battery life.
With heavy use [considering screen on time at least 2 hours +/-) no one here gets more than 8-10 hours I believe.

Bro. I also face this problem. Hardly I can use my ion for 2-3 hours maximum. So I tried many ways to fix it. The best way I found was flashing CM10 ROM. I can use 8-10 hours in CM10. I think you can solve it by flashing CM10. Just an idea. Many people wants to keep there warranty. If you are one of them I don't recommend it. Sorry for my bad English.

My Ion had terrible battery life when it was new. It gets much better after about 2 weeks. It takes a while for the phone to learn the battery's charge cycle.

From the picture...Screen display consumes too much, then its not the phone defects...Its yourself...
Plus, the latest firmware from sony 6.1.E.3.7 have bad battery management...Flash back to 6.1.E.2.68 and you'll see damn nice battery consmption...
But then again need to get root access...My ion normally minimum around 8 Hrs for the batt to go 0%

what can i do more !!
Screen brightness is around 20% ... and the ugly thing in this phone i donno why SONY wanted to save 2-3 dollars and don't put a light sensor on it !! -_- *DUH* Capitalism !
anyway ... i'm trying couple of applications ...one of them is "2x battery" is giving me decent result till now (4-5 hours) ...you should try it
and is there any updates soon to jelly beans ? maybe they fix the power management problem ?
and how can i flash back ? suggest some threads ?
thanks

There is an ALS (ambient light sensor) on the phone. Also it is always on. Just hold phone under a light and then cover the top of phone above screen and you will see changes.

honestly this mobile is rubbish to the ground and this is the second time with sony mobile
the phone status deteriorated so fast that now i only have barely 2 hours screen time (20% brightness which is barely watchable) , and nothing is running in the back except avast anti virus , and battery manger
the phone gets SO HOT reaching sometime to 58 c and usually 45-48 c !!!
the normal slow charger (Laptop-USB / car-charger) is extremely slow to the level that after 7 hours of charging you get only around 60% charged , and if you are using the phone while charging the battery meter goes DOWN while charging and the phone gets very hot !!!
i'll return the phone after a month of use , but my only regret is that i listened to people here who don't even have the mobile or bother to read the details about the problem -_-

There is something wrong with ur phone. Mine doesnt get hot..
I´m using it in my car, too. I charge it and use it to navigate me around, and there is no battary drain.

Does the phone overheat? My xperia s did overheat couple of times and wasn't charging even though it was.connected.
I rebooted and it solved. I had to let the phone to be cooled down before running it again.
U could try rebooting. Try hard reset if noting works.

Draining battery absurdly fast... Only 2 hour

Hello guys ... Hope you help me with my cellphone... I have an Lg g3 d858hk since a year more or less... But I think it's the only phone that the battery last only 2 hours... I was on lollipop and flashed the MM last week... My phone gets very hot when I'm charging and when I'm using normaly ... I don't play games not even see Videos ... I've tried everything possible but nothing seem to work. I've put the thicker mod in conservative and the battery it's draining the same. So put the governor in power save and the cpu only at 300 mhz and the same problem. So I've concluded that the problem is not the cpu clock speed. My battery is relatively new . just 2 months . when u bought the phone my battery last 10 hours... But now only 2 . help me guys please . I'm getting crazy . I don't know what else to do.

Same here, using LG D855 Marshmallow.
Also, it gets very hot.
My Screen consumes over 45% in the battery usage section.
