Android OS over 60+%

[expertzero1]

I have no clue why its over 60% most of the time.


I just rebooted my phone, with beautiful widget running, and its over 60% for the past few days.

I thought it was go launcher, removed it and still presists, battery drained 50% in 8 hours with maybe 10 minutes of 3g data use, and screen brightness at 1% or whatever...

Any ideas why it would be over 60%?

I thought the same

Thought it was launcherpro

did a hard reset but still got horrible drain

Maybe take it back to sprint store?

Mine is currently at 55%, but it has been to 60%. I'm also wondering if I need to return the phone. How long have you guys been getting on a full charge?

I've gotten 50s-60s as well. What's the normal percentage?

 

[DaveInFL]

Same here too. I also have beautiful widgets installed. Is this the culprit perhaps?
Currently my battery lasts about 10-11 hours a day with normal usage.

I'm around 40% but have still had extremely good battery life. I'm just asuming that all the other functions are more power efficient which makes the AndroidOS artificially inflated since it is a percentage of a percentage.

If you all are talking about battery consumption, mine is 5%.

I've gotten double digit percentages as well for android os, but battery life is stellar so it's more of an annoyance as to why this occurs rather than a major concern for me.

I also have beautiful widgets installed, maybe this is what's wrong. I thought it might have been the applications manager widget but I uninstalled that and the problem is still going on, I guess I'll try beautiful widgets next.

I hope it's not the problem though, especially because it's a paid app....

I don't think it's beautiful widgets.... Now the only thing i can think of is wifi, because i'm either at school or home all day, and i just keep wifi on the entire time

I too have Beautiful Widgets installed and have noticed this as well. I'm only using it since the AccuWeather widget doesn't properly update my current location.

 

[DaveInFL]

Today has been pretty good for me. 8 hours off the charger and still at 70%. OS usage was down to 35% or so. I did have WiFi off earlier but I've turned it on again since I am home. Didn't realise it was off. I'll keep an eye on the remainder of the battery to see if WiFi is the culprit.

I don't know why, but I'm really leaning towards this being a visual bug of some sort.

 

[DaveInFL]

After turning WiFi back on Android OS is back up to 60%

When I first got the phone on launch day I experienced this. Now it only gets up to 17%. I do not have beautiful widgets installed. Can't think of a reason why it changed suddenly. Maybe it was the battery pull I did on Sunday, idk

It looks to me that its having WiFi enabled. I have been running 14% after disabling WiFi and then if I enable WiFi it goes back up to 50%+

 

[tkemack]

I've had wifi on and connected for about an hour and it's still holding at 13%

I just turned WIFI on for the first time and I've been seeing usage around 65% so I don't think WIFI has anything to do with it....at least not in my case.

 

[youngjediboy]

Ok I just shut off and did a battery pull, started up and opened up the battery status and now I see Android OS at 93%!!!! Isn't that extremely abnormal? What's going on?

 

[youngjediboy]

I'm worried about this now. I checked again and Android OS is still high at 89%. I have wifi, 4G, GPS all off. It's just on regular 3G and looking at Android's Task Manager I don't have any active apps running.
This morning I was at one of my jobs and in 5 hours it's dropped from 100% to about 40%. I only used the phone to check emails a few times.
