Has anyone managed to get 2-10 mAh power consumption?

[Forgetful]

Yeah mine seems to settle down between 30 and 38, went with the conservative number. Running Imoseyon's 1.4 lean kernel and stock rom (debloated). Using the conservative governor, getting around 16 hours now with my use. Was getting 4-5 on stock.

What are your up, running, display times, and usage for that time period?

I honestly didn't check during my tests, I had played so much with tweaking options and checking the partial wake,etc statistics to get it where I could live with it that my main focus was idle draw. I use google voice push for sms so i have always-on mobile data turned on (3g). If it helps I have been unplugged for 7 1/2 hours (Running 36.1, Screen on 10.9) and am at 63% battery (stock one)

Some new information on my end but lots of confounding issues too.

1. I swapped by Tbolt. Due to battery and some other minor issues. It has been charged and discharged a few times now including a couple of bump charges which I did not try before.
2. Just downloaded a new update to the Battery Monitor software.

So I did an experiment last night, not plugged in.

Fully charged.
Force stop to all VZW/HTC bloat apps (the ones that start at boot).
GPS off, airplane mode on.

Results:

1. Current consumption up from prior tests. Up quite a bit, from about 80-120 mA with an average that was about 100.
2. Battery drained a mere 4%,
3. Battery drained from 100%->97% in the first, single 5 minute step.

My only conclusion here is that the Battery Monitor software MUST have some bugs.

I'm certainly very pleased with the very low drainage with everything basically off but not powered down. I will repeat this test with GPS and radio on tonight.

Fwiw a guy on XDA forums says he gets 10mA draw when idle.

Link or any details to share? I trust he has made a significant effort to achieve this?

I don't see how. I have tweaked and fooled with the Bolt an dBattry Monitor for last 2 weeks. Lowest I got was 28 mA, but avg is 34-42.

I honestly don't know how it'd be possible...



So...Was the Thunderbolt worth it? Battery the main issue? - Page 2 - xda-developers

Repeated test everything the same except with WiFi and Mobile network turned on. Background data enable but sync turned off.

Remaining consumption (after the same 6 hour period) was 72%.

It may have been concluded but the problem on this thing is the radio when idle. I guess I should try to narrow this down to 3G, 4G or WiFi so I can try to manage that one more cleverly with the screen off.

Swamp, from my experiments if it helps and to save you some time, I found that 3g and wifi when idle are about the same. I have not done with 4g but would assume that's the idle culprit.

My 4G and wifi idle currents are just about equal. ~38mA with random spikes to 90

I am in a "border 4G" area. About 5-8 Mbit/s 4G speed. Thus I do automatically revert to 3G sometimes. I've heard others mention this as a possible battery using culprit but I have not tested it myself. Would be easy I guess, the full 4G area close to my house is strong and I can get 30+ Mbits/s there.

Galaxy S5 10ma idle

My Tmobile Galaxy S5 idles at 10ma, sometimes 5ma, while connected 4gLTE (t-mobile) with ProfiMail email running (Imap Push).

My smaller Galaxy Light (SGH-T399) idles at 2ma, sometimes one. It's only used to receive calls.

neither is rooted

both run Battery Monitor Wiget and WatchDog also.

S5 is KitKat 4.4.4
Light is KitKat 4.4.2
