[Q] heavy battery drain while browsing

http://forum.xda-developers.com – Hello. I have a huge battery drain while browsing on my sgs2 running CM10 and recently siyah 5 RC1 (before original cm10 kernel). It is hard to find threads like that, there is always talk about wakelocks and other drain issues. So I wrote a new one. The battery drain surfing the internet over wifi is huge compared to other things I use my phone for. Example: Streaming a 720p TV show over wireless and watching it on MX player drains about 3x less battery. How is that possible?? I have no problems with wakelocks, the screen on time is usually around 3-4h, BUT, only when using rss and othe (HowTos)

The 03/04 build of CM10 should give you about 3-4 ma drain during sleep (i.e, unplugged with screen off).

There's some good discussion here (including how to measure it) if you don't achieve that: Battery Drain issues on HP TouchPad - HP Touchpad - RootzWiki

[Q] Battery Drain problem? 18 weeks 3 days ago

Hello xda

I've been experiencing problems with my Desire S

Basically I've been having massive battery drain when on a data connection (wifi and mobile data), my battery gets fully discharged within an hour.

This sort of thing never happened before and I haven't installed any apps (that I know of) that may contribute to the huge drain.

I've installed Better Battery Stats to identify whe

I flashed xxkpe then ddlf2 then xda bam kernel..... But then also the battery drain was at peek... Plz suggest me what can be done....

Recently, I switched from Oat's Light n' Tasty to CM9 nightlies (currently on 20121202) which I flashed with CWM. I have noticed that the battery drains significantly faster with CM9 when the device is asleep. Looking at better battery stats I found that ath6kl_wow seems to be the culprit, which was reinforced with GSam which reported that 89% of the battery was consumed by wifi.

Hey all,

New to the forum. Just got a gs3 the other day and I love it so far I think there is some issues with my battery. I've read about this good the battery is supposed to be, however mine barely lasts 8-9 hours when connected to WiFi the whole day and with minimal use.

Battery Drain after app 19 weeks 3 days ago

Hi,

Phone: Motorola Atrix 2

Problem: Battery drain in less than 24 hours with less than 10 minutes talktime and 15minutes of internet use on wifi.

Problem event: My wife's Motorola Atrix 2 was fine and used to last 2-3 days. But then I configured email by following steps given below.

If I flash CM10 as opposed to my stock android 4.1 jellybean, leaving all my brightness, wifi etc settings the same, will my battery life be extended? ie: is the drain while the phone is on lower?

I heard switching to CM10 over stock will basically for all users reduce drain thus increase battery life

Hi,

I've had the Galaxy player for a few months now, and I'm generally very happy with it. Although I get pretty decent battery life out of it, I'd say normally about five to ten days of idle time with roughly six hours of screen on time and about as much wi-fi on time, with maybe an additional three hours as a music player, one issue relating to battery drain appears to be constant.
