Nexus 9: heat, chrome and battery drain topic

I've just bought a nexus 9 LTE, no light bleeding, buttons are OK and no cracking noises from the back. I was so happy.
Then I started using it: the back gets quite hot near the camera, not so hot to not be able to hold it, but annoying indeed! Moreover, it gets so hot just by surfing the web using chrome. This really drains the battery I guess and in fact looking at battery stats chrome drains more battery then the display itself. This is ridiculous.
I just can achieve 5h OST or a little bit more, not a good result at all for a tablet.

I've read thousands of reviews and seen a lot of videos: no one talked about these problems, then am I the only one?!? Well, they didn't talk about light bleeding and recessed buttons too, then maybe the issues I'm facing could have been easily omitted too. :(

I'm pretty sure that all these issues are connected to each other and they will probably be fixed in a future updates, but, come on, I didn't pay all those bucks just to be Google's beta tester. :(

Battery drain topic

Lately I'm having huge battery drain, the battery only lasts a few hours.
Is it a hardware or a software problem?

[Q] Battery Drain on Nexus 6 while using case topic

I have been using my Nexus 6 for around 2 weeks now - and have experienced good (as expected battery life running my usual config, using stock Lollypop.

3 days ago, I purchased a beautiful Stilgut Book cover case - since which I have noticed significantly more rapid battery drain consistently over those three days. i.e. Battery dies around 9pm rather than taking me into day 2.

I have come to the conclusion that since I havent changed any apps or my config, the case is having this effect - the book cover style flap auto sleeps/wakes the phone when opened or closed and I can only think that this is the reason for the battery drain.

Does this sound familiar to anyone (or anyone with similar experiences?).

Thanks.

Massive Battery Drain On My LG G3 topic

Hello guys,

I came across many topics about battery drain on the G3. I am using the international 16GB version of the phone with a software version of 5.0. I get the same battery drain as everyone is complaining about. Its just intolerable. Still even going through every topic on xda, I dont seem to find a solution. Today i am leaving my country for 4 months and wont have time to deal with getting a replacement, so i really hope it can be from the software. I tried everything like factory resets, all battery tips like switching off location and sync.... Believe me everything. Some says it can be kernel wake, but I really dont know what to believe. It starts to become a major issue for this phone and more people are getting that problem. Please if someone has a possible solution that would be great!

Low signal battery drain topic

Hey all, firstly I'm running stock everything on my nexus 5. 5.0.1 with stock kernel and root. Using twrp however for recovery.

When I go to work I get really bad signal and my battery usually drains away (that's understandable) however when I leave work and head home to better coverage the phone stays hot (36°c) and continues to drain with "android os" having a large awake time. I usually fix this by restarting the phone.

I would like to know if there is any other way to fix this without a reboot? Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't, but it happens more often than not with the phone draining 10-20% per hour and staying continuously warm @ 35-36°C during idle.


Thanks in advance !

Tips to Avoid Battery Drain! topic

Hi fellas i recently been testing a few roms and of course everyone out here is complaining about the battery life, almost the 45% of the user have a bad experience with it. and i saw that we were a little bit lost about how to preserve our battery and this below was something that i have test and other people has test and its work for all of them so now im sharing with you this with the community, i have collect some of this solution around some places and now they are here all in one place. hope you like it.
(this can work with any Phone with a rom based on android 4.4+ or lollipop and Remember to check your battery and how much mA has your battery.)

Here we go....

Well i have a I9190 and i been working on the battery life with this phone for almost one year since i bought it, look the first you need to know (and sadly is the worst thing about this phone) is the battery, for some reason the battery gets hot when you play or use Facebook over 3G networks and even when you are not using it, it might for the processor remember our cellphone have a powerful processor dual core 1.7 ghz and it will run ass hell.

From what i have done to get a better battery life with this phone (i love this phone for that reason i still have it), you can try this.

1. Use Greenfy ITS THE ONLY APP IN THE PLAY STORE WHO REALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THE BATTERY LIFE WHY? is hibernate these apps like Facebook and other who runs in background eating your battery, (do not greenfy whatsapp or messegner you may not receive messages, but its work very good for me!

2. the next thing ( as i mention before the mess with 3G network) try to use 2G network you will see a remarkable battery save.

3. you can try a processor manager to control the processor and set it up to run at 1.4 GHz or 1.3 GHz and in that way your processor will not use more power from battery(remember you could experience some lags few times).

4. if you are using this rom Lollipop Rom Port use the power saving mode and disable the CPU Performance to get a better results!

5. Sync Options are pretty good but the sync option its running 24/7 so its mean your cellphone will be transferring data all day, you can turn it off but... if you will have to enable it to sync your contacts info and phone number that your recently save(you can lose data like number is this feature is off and you do not sync your stuff manually, and emails will not reach you till you check the app or turn on the sync option)

6. Wifi, for me wifi is a battery saver, why? i have test my phone over a wifi network all day and i get 19-22 hours that is pretty a lot, so wifi can help you to have better battery life at work or a place where you can get a wifi network.
for me the most comun problem could be the sync option, but as i said before there some things to think about it before turn it off.
if you have any question about my results and research about how to get a better battery results PM or skype!
See ya!

mediaserver, google play services and battery drain topic

hey everyone. I noticed recently that my battery life on my m7 was really poor. The battery was draining at 6-8% per hour idling in my pocket, so I decided to see what was up. I noticed my cpu usage never went below 80%. I checked my app usage, but nothing specific was showing under battery usage in settings, so I did some googling. I downloaded a bunch of apps including Gsam and better battery life and saw mediaserver was thrashing the cpu nonstop, as well as logcat, and google play services was constantly waking the device.

I tried all sorts of things from the common reboot to adb commands. Finally, I found something that at least partially worked.

I downloaded an app from the play store called system tuner, which let me kill mediaserver, and instantly my cpu usage went from 80% to 7%. logcat also stopped when I stopped mediaserver. I have noticed no side effects from doing this. I hope this can help someone out there.

Now I just need to figure out 2 things:
1) prevent play services from wakelocking (up to 46 times per hour, wow!)
2) automate killing mediaserver on startup, as I noticed the issue returns everytime I reboot the device.

If someone out there can help me, it would be appreciated, and if I find out on my own, I will share this info here for all the people with the same problem.

Note 3 battery drain... topic

Ok so i've seen a few threads between here and other websites regarding the Note 3s battery issues but felt the need to make my own as I still haven't found any kind of solution.

I purchased my Note 3 N9005 (I live in the UK) around a month ago and ever since my battery has been terrible ever since. I am basing this on the fact that I have owned a Note 3 twice previously (I managed to get one just after they came out for a reasonable price second hand and also owned one around 6 months ago for a while) and battery life on those two devices were fantastic.

Around a week and a half ago I decided to root and try a couple of roms to see if it would make any difference after making sure it wasn't my SD card causing the problem and couldn't really try anything else. After going from the CMRemix, CM11 and Echoe 5.0 not a great deal changed on each after using each one for a couple of days, every day my battery gets hammered by 'android system' and 'android os'. After seeing a post about it I have gone back to stock touchwiz using the 4.4.2 Nordic firmware. This made no difference either.

I have posted some pictures of my battery life since getting up this morning. I always have sync turned off and my screen is always just above the minimum brightness. Im on Wifi a lot between work and home which in theory should use less power. I've been playing contest of champions quite a bit recently which I would expect to be a battery drainer but it is still beaten by my screen and this android system and OS combo. I also don't get why battery dropped around 18% (30 something to the 15% warning) in around 20 minutes which is the red line on the battery graph. Last Friday I went to sleep with my battery on around 78%, when I woke up it had dropped to 42% with no apps left running.

I'm literally out of ideas. I've tried everything i've seen on forums and it hasn't worked. I've owned an S5, m8 and z2 but ended up coming back to a note because they are simply fantastic phones. I am however seriously considering selling this and getting a different phone if I don't figure this out soon though. Can anyone help or is this simply an unsolvable problem caused by horrendous software implementation, or am I being stupid and should be content with 13 hours irregular battery life???

Xposed Drain Battery :( topic

I cannot abandon Xposed, But it drains the battery :(
We wish a new update solves this problem :)

[Q] mediaserver battery drain. topic

My AT&T Moto X was on standby for 1 day and 22 hr while I was using a different phone for other reasons. Anyways, it started off with 100% and after nearly 2 days of not using the phone, it was drained to 28%. I checked the battery stats and it listed Mediaserver at the top of the list for battery use. I clicked on the graph and it shows that the phone was awake for the entire time it was off the charger. Mediaserver says it kept the phone awake for 1 day and 20 hrs. My phone isn't rooted because it's the AT&T model which has a locked bootloader. It's on KK 4.4.4 and on Nova Launcher. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

Idle Battery Drain topic

Hi,

I'm experiencing quite big idle battery drain, but not always. Sometimes by battery lasts for 3-4 days with minimal usage, but some days it goes down by up to 4% per hour with no usage. I'm sure it's not a rogue app keeping my phone awake and I've done the Google Play Services "fix" in App Ops. I'm running stable crDroid KitKat with stock kernel, and a lot of people don't seem to be having issues.

I've attached some screenshots from Wakelock Detector. It looks to me there is an insane number of wakeups for some reason. Has anyone had anything like this and managed to fix it?

Thanks.

Lg G3 Massive Battery Drain from bam_dmux_wakelock (Pics Included) topic

Alright everyone,

Some details about my phone before we begin-

I am a moderate user. I play some games, check emails, text and that's about it.

My phone is NOT rooted and obviously I am not running a custom rom, or a alternate launcher, and I haven't really modified many if at all any settings.

So, that being said I am experience some sever kernel wake lock issues form bam_dmux_wakelock for the past week or so. As you see in my picture, 6 out of my 7 hours of up time (off charger) has been kept from deep sleep, therefore destroying my battery time.

Today I have maybe 30-40 minutes total of screen on time, but not nearly the 6 hours of non deep sleep time.

I've turned off "okay google" detection, disabled wifi when screen is off, restricted background data for youtube, disabled google + (I don't use social media) and my brightness is on auto mode, typically around 35% when the screen is on.

If google can see this I would like to offer them a huge F you for changing the permission architecture so that gplay apps cant detected whats causing the wake-lock without root. They are pretty much forcing us to root our phones to access features locked meanwhile continuing to call android "Open Source"

Can anyone give me a recommendation on what are my options? Or should I really just root my phone, which I don't want to do (I have in the past but I haven't needed too with the G3 since it has everything I want without root)

Battery drain high or average? topic

I have got a good deal on an open box WiFI only Galaxy Tab S 10.5 at Best Buy. I've been trying to put it through it's paces to make sure there wasn't a good reason it was an open box unit. So far all is well, but I can't tell if I'm getting a shorter battery life than I should. I read reviews with people talking about 8 - 10 hours of video, but it's so hard to know what else they did since they don't detail exactly what they did very often (brightness level? Video used? Aeroplane mode? Task killer preventing anything else from running much? etc...)

Anyway, just to get a ballpark, I charged mine to 100%, left it charging for a little while once it hit the 100%, and I've been watching Netflix on 50-70% brightness since I took it off the charger (and a brief 10 minute period when the WiFi slowed down). It looks like it's going to manage about 4 and a half hours of streaming Netflix over WiFi after a fresh system restore (so, some Gmail and Google Sync activity in the background, but nothing else extra installed).

Does that seem low or similar to what others would expect with non-stop Netflix streaming?

[Q] Galaxy S2 CM11 Extreme battery drain problem! topic

Hello there, I recently installed CM11- 20141224-Nightly and now I have a serious battery drain issue on my phone. It barely stays 5 hours with minimum usage, like browsing the web reading stuff it stays for about less than 2 hours, and without using it(on sleep) drains from 90% to 75% in 2hours. Because of this I have to charge the phone like 2-3 times daily! :( Is this something to do with the nightly? I thought of updating it to the new nightly that appeared on the 30th of December.
Will updating my phone into the new Snapshot make things any better? Should I do it? :confused:
I tried all kinds of battery fix apps, nothing works. The battery is a bit old though, maybe like 1 and a half years and I dont know how it was like on stock because it was handed to me from someone else. I would appreciate any help please! :)
FYI my phone is i9100T, after upgrading to CM it became i9100. Heard somewhere its not an issue.
