AW: Post those battery stats!

My stats:

I'm on ics stock, sync all on

For me I'm only getting more than 5 hours screen time when watching a movie or only doing whatsapp and then of course less than one day total battery life
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Ok I thought I was getting good battery life..............until I flashed my Retail GB ICS to Retail EU ICS and then upgraded to Jelly Bean EU.

Now all I get is 12-13 hours tops.

Last charge is on 7% with screen on 1h 18 2s - in total been on 13hrs, 23mins, 14s.

It's poor, very poor. Before it would last about 20 hours with sync all but now I am dreading if I am going out for a full day.

Google now is turned off. I switched to manual brightness and turned it way down.

Can anyone advise? Thanks.
[RAZR i General] kenrw7:
Not had razr i running ics gb retail on Tescomobile long but I've installed velis auto brightness and current have 58% after 16hr 48min with Android OS as the main user of battery at 39% at 2hr, screen 33% 44minr
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Cool I will try it. I take it I set the brightness to manual within the android OS (and turn down low?) itself and then use velis adjusted to auto brightness?

I am on the exact same boat as you, I think the EU JB update is doomed. Just yesterday I downgraded to Retail BRAZIL, and upgraded that one to JellyBean and it is behaving a tad better -- too early to tell.

I disabled Google Now too on both, and disabled FastDormancy... will see how this runs out for a week. :cowboy:
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Cheers for that but how easy is it to downgrade to retail brazil? I heard downgrading bricks phones?
[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
1. I have an unlocked bootloader.

2. I used RSD lite.

3. Downloaded the SML-20 Retail Brazil file.

4. Opened the *.zip, and edited the *.xml file.

5. Commented <!-- comment --> the motoboot partition, and the radio partition, and the getvar maxdownload.

6. Flashed everything onto the phone.

7. Booted to recovery and wiped the /data partition.

8. Rebooted the phone and now it is in the Brazil ROM. :laugh:
[RAZR i General] woodyby:
When I checked the cpu speed, there is no more the "ondemand" option and "interactive" is enable. The other option is "userspace". I think that with ICS the "ondemand" was available. Maybe it the reason why the battery drain so fast...
[RAZR i General] kooldadof4:
I'm really happy with mine, I have after 12 hours only gone down to 80%, this is with light Internet, some texting, a few calls , even one 15 min call on speakerphone, I urge all of you if you are experiencing high battery drain disable motocare, fast dormancy , disable google now, and stay away from live wallpapers. That's what's done it for me. Google now is relatively useless in Europe in my opinion until we have optimised Internet like the US, 3G just doesn't cut it and drains the battery.
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Thanks bud - can you provide a link to the brazil rom and is everything ok in English? Is it also the JB rom or do I still have to do the OTA update to JB...just a little worried you see about downgrading to Brazil ICS coming from my EU JB. Would it be ok to post a screen of what you mean by step 5.

Cheers!!!!
[RAZR i General] woodyby:
Back to 81.5.400002.Retail.en.EU to test the battery ...

Impossible to go back to 81.5.400002. Have a bootloop and impossible to go in CWM ...
[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
Commenting the radio partition is optional, but I think it useless to reflash it since the BR JellyBean update will just flash it back. :D

Boot into recovery and delete wipe data. You can't downgrade without doing that.
[RAZR i General] ro_explorer:
Yesterday I got some pretty awesome screen on time.. brightness was on auto.
[RAZR i General] Sizzers:
My battery goes down like watching a countdown timer with hardly any use and I don’t know why.

The only connectivity I have is my SIM: Data, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, Auto Sync, etc are all “Off” and only enabled as and when I need them which at the moment is quite rarely. The display is set at 5% brightness which I find perfectly adequate for indoor use, only turning it up when I’m using the phone outdoors which again isn't too often. Watchdog shows nothing untoward and I’m at a total loss as to why the battery life is so poor on this phone

I’m on Three network which can struggle with signal in some buildings, and especially so on this particular phone as I find the signal reception very poor indeed compared to my previous Nokia. Unfortunately Three doesn’t have a backup 2G network, so in two weeks when my monthly allowance has expired I’m changing network to see if 2G improves matters but I’m not holding my breath.

This is my first Android device and apart from the poor battery performance I’m rather enjoying the experience so far, but essentially I’ve paid over £300 for a phone which I daren’t/can’t use as I would wish. This is also my first phone with a sealed battery which was a cause for concern as I’ve always ran two batteries to have a spare when needed. I had considered the Samsung Galaxy S3 for this reason but I found the build quality to be so shockingly poor I really couldn’t go ahead and buy it.

Anyway, enough of my moans as otherwise I am very happy with the phone but I can’t see me living with it for too much longer, but then again financial constraints mean that I will probably have to.

AW: Post those battery stats!

Ro Explorer, can you tell me how you get those amazing stats? Setup of your system? Installed apps? Woukd be very kind! The max screen on time i get is 4 hours :(
[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
So the ICS version of the ROM for this phone did not have FastDormancy at all, I wonder if the large discrepancy of users reporting good versus bad battery life on JellyBean has that as a culprit? -- specifically when their carrier/network does support or does not support FastDormancy. :eek:

I thought I had frozen the FDormancy.apk, and don't know why FDCompleteTime showed up here, maybe I should reboot and know for sure -- and if not start looking up to why that still shows as a Partial Wakelock.

Edit: I forgot to reboot after disabling FastDormancy.apk
[RAZR i General] ro_explorer:
Nothing special. It is stock jelly with unlocked bootloader and root applied. The activity during those 7 hours of screen on were mostly related to reinstalling the apps and configuring them after the unlock of the bootloader as well as some Internet browsing and some YouTube streaming.

Of course, if you start using some cpu intensive apps, your battery will die faster than what you see in the pictures I attached.
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Thanks for posting that.

But it's weird. I turned off Fast dormancy and motocare as advised by others and got no improvement in battery at all. 12-13 hours TOPS.

Then yesterday I thought sod it, I deleted Viber (prefer whatsapp), Lightflow and MapmyRun.

Today - well I can't explain it. I unplugged at 630. Used my phone like I would normally and suddenly I am thinking what's going on. The battery seems ok! I.e I got home after being on for 8 hours and the battery shows like 70%. Just taken it out on a run with GPS on for 30 mins and battery is showing about 63%. That is exceptional. At this rate I might get 20 hours which given what I have been getting, it's a god send.

This could just be all a fluke and tomorrow might be rubbish again but we shall see. I suddenly a feel a little better at least about it.
[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
I am now on retail Brazilian upgraded to JellyBean and it is going good, finally FastDormancy is now disabled (I forgot to reboot after disabling it, that was the culprit) so now I am getting 2 days of regular use like I was getting on ICS. :good: Finally.
[RAZR i General] wingy1:
Cool - at the moment still haven't charged it from my last post and it's at 25 hours. Pretty good considering.
[RAZR i General] Marco Lomas:

My carrier do not support FastDormancy, so I will disable, I didn't do it yet :)

However I turned off mobile data while I'm using wifi,

I can't post the links :(, so... it's 21h 11m 42sec and my battery at 8%,

Screen activation 65%, 6h 9m 8sec,

[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
Ok, so here is what I know. I am finally happy with the JB battery life.

I am using retail Brazil upgraded to JellyBean.

I downgraded to the C9 baseband. Take a look at this thread to reflash the latest ICS baseband.

Fast Dormancy must be disabled on carriers that do not support it.

I think it is worth it to try the EU version with the C9 baseband too (but I just know I couldn't get good battery life on the EU myself so I went to use retail Brazil), and since there are different people getting good or bad battery life on their phones it could be because the ones who used the Home Made fastboots never flashed the updated baseband/radio firmware and kept the C9 version(?).

So I am finally at 84% with 6 hours and 15mins on battery time, the screen time is 41 minutes and have been 60% of the time WiFi and the rest with HSDPA+ (not 2G or anything trying to save battery that way) . Btw Google Now is disabled too as I don't use it.

So this finally looks to be around the 2.6% per hour drop with regular usage. So I am eagerly expecting 1 day and 14 hours of full connectivity with regular screen time using this setup on JellyBean.

Just sharing my setup and details, I hope someone finds it handy as I struggled for a week after seeing how bad the battery life on JellyBean update was compared to the stock ICS counterparts. :p

If I do have FastDormancy, how do I desable it?

Thanks.
[RAZR i General] ro_explorer:
If you do not have root then you know you have FastDormancy enabled and you can not disable it.

Anyway, do not worry, there is so little impact on battery that you will not notice anyway.
[RAZR i General] tlucian:
My battery used to last about 3 days before the update. Now a little more than two days.

How is your battery life on Jelly Bean?
[RAZR i General] SharpnShiny:
Same problem: ICS (2 days for me) JB(1 day). On JB have a black wallpaper, 50% brightness, various smartactions etc. and still battery is reduced.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

That is EXACTLY the same kind of good performance on ICS that I had. It's only when I read that that I realized that's the kind of performance I had too. Hmm
[RAZR i General] densets:
Well this are my stats.

Wifi and 3g always on. Brightness on auto.
[RAZR i General] SharpnShiny:
^^^^^ You used your screen for only 3 hours in two days? Did you leave it sitting on a table? What percentage of brightness do you use? Maybe 50%? Also are you using ICS or JB?

I've been thinking about this thread over the last few days (my first week with the phone). I would recommend adding some more detail to stats e.g. like GSM Arena uses: telephone call usage, video playback usage and internet browser usage per day.

So, on Jelly Bean, if I use it like this:

telephone calls per day: 10 minutes

video playback: 3 minutes

internet browser: 15 minutes

other apps: 3 hours

The phone will die after 1 day with about 3 hours or 3.5 hours screen on time, normally at 50% brightness and autodim on. It's important to add this I think, because, you could be very busy for a few days, use the phone only a little, then post battery stats of 3-4 days - but that may not be normal usage. However, I see some stats saying screen on 4-6 hours - I'm jealous! xD
[RAZR i General] RafaelOliveira:
I installed the Brasil Retail JB one week ago using the homemade fastboot (my Razr was ICS GB before). In the first 2 days, the battery usage was pretty good, like the ICS was. But now, I think it's using too much battery. I uploaded some screenshots from the battery usage. As you can see, after 7 hours that I disconnected it from the recharger, it got already 57%. The usage was as simple as possible, just one SMS, display brightness in the minimum, Wi-fi most of time, when wi-fi was off, it was using the 3G. I used the Facebook for 2 minutes maybe, just to reply a post, see the lastest photos of Instagram. Both Facebook and Instagram was used with Wi-fi. Before the last recharge, I stopped the MotoCare process, Google Now off, I have just uninstalled Viber (when I took these screenshots), I didn't find the Fast Dormancy, probably it's on. The screen-on time was just 36m. I don't know what is the battery eater in my Razr. I noticed that something is using a little bit over the normal of the CPU. In the Android OS, CPU Total was 54m, and Keep Awake was 1h 10m. I've downloaded nothing with screen off, didn't play games, did no calls in this 7h period. What can it be if I used the Razr for 36min (the same of Screen-on time)?
[RAZR i General] jonaxxxo:
AW: Post those battery stats!

Find out which app is waking hour device all the time. You can use gsam battery for that. Your phone seems always awake, that's why your battery dies so fast
[RAZR i General] RafaelOliveira:
I found what was the battery eater... the Viber! I uninstalled it yesterday before connecting the recharger in the Razr, and today, after 6h 54m that I disconnected it from the recharger, it's 85% battery level yet, with the mobile data (3G) on, and I used the Facebook for 5 minutes today. In my opinion, the only reason was the Viber app. Who is having battery drain issue on JB, try to uninstall the Viber and see if it improves...
[RAZR i General] densets:
Brightness on auto as stated and using ICS. I guess we've reached a point were looking at your phone for 3 hours a day is "normal".
[RAZR i General] woodyby:
When i'm home with wifi on , i only use 2 % for one hour... as soon as i am on 3g, i use 4 or 5 % for one hour ...
[RAZR i General] okaban:
JB, screen 6:11
[RAZR i General] SharpnShiny:
I reset the phone after Jelly Bean update, as Motorola suggested. I think it did improve the battery a bit, I can reach about 5 hours screen on time on one charge which is more than before. I think the darker wallpapers really would benefit here - the screen on AMOLEDs doesn't even have to light pixels that need to appear black, so time spent navigating apps, the settings, alarm etc. will help retain the battery. I'm not surprised at the hours we spend with screen on - smartphones are designed for navigation, video and music players, constant email on the go, browsing, as well as usual communication so I think that is normal. (converged technologies)
[RAZR i General] gbetous:
You mean we should perform a factory reset after updating to JB ?
[RAZR i General] piskr:
I really recomend to wipe data and perform factory reset. I had had issues with gsm radio after upgrade and they disapeared after wipe/reset. That implies that it might be as well something else what remained corrupted after OTA. By the way: I've got only slight decrease of battery drop after upgrade if any.
[RAZR i General] SharpnShiny:
Yeah I emailed Motorola about battery disimprovement after the Jelly Bean upgrade, they recommended that I reset the phone to factory settings. I think that really did help the battery. I agree with the poster above too ^^ :D
[RAZR i General] Falster:
Yes, factory reset and turning off google now. I actually have 2d 10h uptime and I´m at 25% accu :)
[RAZR i General] Omar-Avelar:
So did you tweak any of the CPU governor settings or what's specia to get it last 2 days for surel?

I usually get 1 day + 12-16 hours with data enabled and occasional Wi-Fi.
[RAZR i General] Williknot:

Wifi on, whatsapp, always on facebook, and chrome navigation. Screentime: 10 mins

When people are posting, can they post screen on-time as well? (Doesn't have to be a screenshot) Given that it's by far the biggest battery hog, it gives a much better indication than just screen percentage.

Lots of us have. Look at my post above yours for instance.
[RAZR i General] .: SID :.:
Here are my screens of power consumption.

I use only 2G with my cell operator.
[RAZR i General] SharpnShiny:
I totally agree. A few more details would help a lot. I've 50% convinced myself to put my phone in aeroplane mode for 1 week and post a screenshot to show my 'awesome battery stats' without any information - just to illustrate the point. There are many posts here with screen time of 2 hours but 3 days battery usage - which means it sat on a table doing nothing or in a bag - which isn't normal usage at all. WOW awesome battery...:good:

I'm on Jelly Bean, I get about 1 day and about 10 hours with about 4 hours screen on time. I achieved much better on ICS and something like this: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_i_xt890-review-828p2.php (go to the bottom of the page)
[RAZR i General] clickstop:
This has been the worst my battery has been so far this week, if I let it run down to single digits, I could probably get 5 hours screen on. I've been averaging six this whole week, which is pretty awesome compared to my lumia. Barely any idle drain. I would suggest force closing Google play music though, it can suck your battery dry even after you stop using it. That screen is a real killer too. Mine is always set to the lowest setting.

[RAZR i General] clickstop:
Woah, crazy battery life there! What do you use your phone for? That list on the first pic looks sparse
[RAZR i General] Phill_UK:
Mainly browsing, Facebook, Twitter and Tapatalk. I think the reason the list is sparse is because I had to reboot about an hour before that screenshot, due to a wifi issue.

[RAZR i General] telekid:
I can't reach this level of battery (2d something with hours of display).

Maximum I've reached was 2 days with 3 hours of screen + wifi only.

When I'm on 3g only I get maximum of 1d and 15hours + 3hs something of screen.

What I think drains my battery is the fact that I receive an email from gmail every 3 minutes...avoiding the mobile to standby.

Also, my Android OS keeps in the 13% average. Is that normal?

Btw, I have ICS Brazil and I'm on the 4th recharge cycle.

[RAZR i General] TheNineZero:
Good initially...

Hello

I'm pretty new to posting here, but this issue has mobilised me!

I was regularly getting 2 days + on ICS, with ~5 hours screen time. I upgraded OTA to JB and immediately performed a factory reset once the update finally became available to UK retail phones last week. The statoff the first charge post update are below.

Since then however, things look to be going downhill. I'll get some stats up later as I've only felt the change until now and I want to back it up with some figures. Right now though, the phone seems to drop the first 10% in the first hour of discharge and it was even dropping while on charge and Web browsing this morning!

I hope I don't have an issue...
[RAZR i General] clickstop:
Nope, you're not that only one with that issue. I find that after I updated to jellybean my phone charged extremely quickly, but the first ten percent would go within an hour.
[RAZR i General] TheNineZero:
Same again yesterday-down to 90% in the first hour after coming off charge at 9am, 57% by 10pm. As far as I can see, nothing special happened in the first hour, no heavier screen use and still accounting for 88% of the overall drain as I'd expect.

Is the problem with the battery meter (i.e.there's no extra drain, just incorrect readings) or with the charging/discharging cycle (so there's a drain spike after first coming off charge)? Either way, I can't trust it at the moment, so I'm back to charging every night.
