battery Drain -SPB Mobile shell 3? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hey guys...
Coincidently, I installed MS3 just the same time with panosha 2.6, and I started to notice battery draining very fast... Normally if I fully charge before I go to bed at night, after I finish work the next day, I normally have between 50-60% left.... but since my upgrade, the battery drains alot faster, today at 4:30pm the battery was completely flat....
Is this a MS3 problem? or is it Panosha 2.6 problem?
Also, do you notice also that from 100% down to 75% battery drain slower than when its from 25%-0%?

i'm using duttys v3.2 and had the same issue. I was lucky to get a day out of it. I have since uninstalled and am back to about 2.5 - 3 days again.
MS3 does have a nice look and feel but lacks in the music player which is one of the things i use the most.
I find the battery for me drains from 10 - 0 the fastest. have known it drop from 10 - 2 in under 2 mins I think is the record so far

so by "it" do you mean duttys 3.2 or MS3?
MS3 have the widget for WMP... which i find quiet nice.

I can also confirm it is MS3, I am on dutty 3.3...

MY MS3 is not draining me dry. works like a charm for me.

Spb MS3 doesn't drain my battery.
But I'm using the stock rom 1.56.
I think it's the combination with Dutty roms.

Had it installed on an XV6800. I think it was OK on SMS 3.0, but when I updated to 3.0.1 suddenly starting having random severe battery drain. Not every day but often enough to be a concern. 100% to dead in less than 8 hours. De-installed and now am sitting at 90% after 5 hours with moderate usage. Makes you wonder ...

Same here, stock rom on tilt and severe battery drain. I did have m2d installed as well uninstalled it still battery drain. Uninstalled all other spb apps and testing now with only ms3 installed. Not looking good.

I've been using SPB Mobile Shell 3.0.1 (6501 build) and I'm currently experiencing massive battery drain (10% every 10 minutes!) on my X1. I read this but it's still no good for me, but it might prove useful for someone here:
My observation: the problem occurs randomly, immediately after upgrading an already installed app. I *think* something gets out of sync in the Windows Mobile kernel.
I have found that it can be cured (I posted this somewhere else ages ago, but can't remember where):
- put the phone on charge until it shows 100%
- *with the phone still on charge* soft-reset
- repeat if the phone doesn't show 100% when it comes back up, until it does
I did that yesterday, & the drain seems to have gone away. It always worked on my MDA Compact II, & now on my MDA Vario.
Hope that helps

lose 70% charge in 1 day!

hi
i have no prolem with my p3300 until 4 days ago!!! suddenly my device use 70% of battry in 1 day! i try soft reset, but not solved! also cpu goes to 36santi grad! but no process in task manager.also i try airscanner antivirus! and no virus ...
i use artemis tuch 3
please help me
Hi,
I am having similar problems since I installed Black and Blue 4.3.
Phone appears to discharge twice as fast. However, sometimes a soft reset seems to increase the battery again!!
I am going to try a hard reset to see if that fixes it. I have also ordered a new battery.
Anybody else had this and more importantly did you find a solution.
Regards
same here on orbit.all started 1 week ago.the phone is 8 months old.I can't believe the battery is gone so fast.
same here
same here battery life is crap
even with obly a few calls
whats up? is it the rom?
Okay,
A number of us with the same problem.
Can you all confirm what model you have and what ROM you are running. Also any new apps you have installed at the start of the battery drain. I will kick off
T-Mobile MDA Compact UK model.
Tom Condon's Black and Blue 4.3 ROM.
Only new software is AC S2U2 latest version.
Regards
htc p3300
artemis touch 3.0
no new software
bluetooth and wi-fi is off
no program running in task manager
but when i put my device near headset,i can hear some sound like TEGH TEGH!!!! every 1~3 sec.
i know it will solve by install new rom,but i want to find main problem. today i turn on then turn off my all units(bluetooth,wi-fi,camera ...) i must stay and see what will happend
Yeah thats the reason why i sell my Artemis, battery life is just crap. I call allot for work and use my phone allot, my battery is good for just one day . So byebye artemis and welcome HTC Touch .
I had these problems to..
Who I fixed it: I flashed original t-mobile ROM. Finished the install EXT-rom..
Did a hard reset, 2 soft buttons + reset, then green ring button..
Installed the USPL then HTC WM6 ROM, before ext-rom installation a reset. Then did a radio rom update, to latest version.
I can go up to 3 days without needing to recharge with GPRS @ 30 minutes sync..
Hello,same horrible problem.After 4-5 days the upgrade to B&B 4.1 with flo3the power of battery go down very very fast and a working day is impossible.When i bought the Artemis the first thing thats wondering me was the working life, but now...
I kill all task in background,set to maximum power saving, without effect.
Don't want to think that the best solution is to come back at wm6 standard.
P3300
WM6 5.2.1620
B&B 4.1
Flo3
SDHC support with 4GB card
DualSim 15th generation
I recently read a thread - either here or at ppc-welt.de - where some people found out that the gsm unit consumes a lot more power when you have a cooked ROM. When they put their Artemis next to some speakers the got that strange buzzing noise that you usually get when someone calls or you receive a message.
That sound in the speakers was there a lot more often than usually, when they switched back to the official ROMs the problem disappered. If I can find it again I will post a link. I haven't had any problems with my battery yet using Touch 2.1 WWE, only after a fresh upgrade pdas seem to consume a lot more power for a few days and get back to normal then.

what a pity because installing betterystatus (or configuring it properly if you had it already) would probably solve all that problems.
most (if not ALL) roms come with batterystatus... and sometimes it seems to misconfigure itself and overclock your CPU very much, which ofc leads to fast battery discharge. configure batterystatus to 201mhz and problem solved (or even lower if you dont need uber speed mobile, but loads of battery)
my p3300 battery lasts 2-3 days, doing some calls, using bluetooth for sync, listening to some mp3 while in the underground and using tomtom to find a street 15 minutes. nearly 4 days if totally on standby
Hi,
I have reinstalled my phone using the T-Mobile ROM.
I will let you know if that sorts the battery problems.
Regards
I had this problem after installing the htc official rom. I installed back the touch rom from the forum and everything is ok now. Tha battery last me again 4 days with mixed regular use.
Hi,
Tried the T-Mobile ROM and whilst under general use the battery drain is slightly reduced as soon as I ran Tom Tom it dropped by about 30% in 20 minutes. When I first got the device I could run Tom Tom for about 4hours before the battery died.
I have ordered a new battery so will see how that goes.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to pinpoint the problem.
Regards
my mobile service provider found problem with their GPRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just install this software and disable GPRS
just 23% battery used in 20hour!
but i dont have any program that automaticly connect to internet! and also always i keep my quickGPS up to date by active sync ....
please test this and DISABLE your GPRS and see what happend!! is it our problem or another ... ?
Hi,
Disabling your GPRS may fix the problem but it should not affect the battery this way.
I have just put in a new battery and it is charging just now.
Will update how the battery drain is with the new battery.
Regards
Hi,
Did a quick test running Tom Tom and battery usage is back to normal with the new battery fitted. Obviously the old battery was on the way out.

[Q] about battery life on sense roms

Probably not the newest dillema but here goes nothing, since I've read all the posts regarding battery life, almost all comments from custom roms threads about that and so on.
Right now im using MCR r8 w/ addition + a2sd. My apps list running on desire can be found here:
http://www.appbrain.com/user/baadnewz/apps-on-the-phone
Now my problem is that ive tried Pinky Desire, Leedroid, Nextsense, Delite and for the life of me, I barely make it through the day with the battery, like unpluging it @ 8 AM and pluging it @ 11 pm. Same goes for all roms metioned above. Tried with .20 radio and now with the newest version .30.
I must say I do NOT listen music on phone and I don't even use gps. I send 2-3 texts, and max 20 mins of call. I have 1 exchange mail running and 1 gmail account, i have friendstream syncing every 3 hours. I use Wifi and 3g. Im using it on vodafone romania, and since im in the city the gsm signal is good.
I tried using juicedefender, and setcpu with screenoff profile, they seem to make it worst (this is my apreciation, i didnt use any stat program to acctualy verify in % but for me so it seems).
To be honest im sick of hearing ppl "my desire last 4 days with music gps and 10000 mail accounts"
I even followed the battery recalibrate guide posted here on xda .
Anymore tips ?
Thanks, and yes I know this is the n+1 post about battery issues but all ive read the info is one inconclusive, some says they battery lasts 3-4 days on "heavy" usage" some they dont make it through the day (like me)
My desire has 2 mounths old.
For example. Last night arround 1 am i went to sleep and i was having 89% battery, this morning arround 8 i was having 72% left. No wifi on, just 3g data connection with exchange syncing @ 1 hour and gmail app for mail
have u tried non-sense rom?

No, since im a really big fan of sense
I have exactly the same problem as the OP.
I have tried all sense ROMS, it seems the best ROM for me was Opendesire which doesn't use 'sense'.
So far Pays has been rather good, but I don't get more than a day from my phone... I too have tried the calibration setting that was on XDA but to be honest, I'm kinda stuck too as I dont know which ROM to use...
Hi there, had the same problem as you and it didn't matter what rom I tried but still my battery kept draining, til I found out that I had a program that kept monitoring my desire's cpu constantly. Check for program's permissions where it won't let your phone go to sleep. Also check any program that constantly monitors your phone and refreshes every second.

The only app running that monitors anything is advanced task killer
Carlo, do up mean that we can save some battery if we stop that program?
I'm also can't get a full day usage out of my Desire.

I must say I totally agree with you. Changing ROM does not changes battery usage. It just won't last a day. I charged mine twice every single day. With mixed moderate-heavy usage of mostly internet basis.

Again, I totally agree with you. I couldn't believe with the slightest chance ppl could get 2 full days with heavy usage (4 hours of music, 4 hours of wifi, multiple account sync, facebook, few hours of browsing etc). I think they are just trying to bloat up things. (Eventhough they knew it's impossible) (or maybe they completely turned off their handset everytime they dont use the phone)
I also personally don't think a world class and professional company such as HTC will make highly variable units+battery performance for their products. Such as 3-4 days able HTC with half-day able HTC's.
Some ppl always argue that battery performace improve over time after several weeks of charges and discharges. Actually, they don't! Even if they do, the changes between 'just new' and after several weeks were not more than 10% differences. I got a blackberry 9700 and spare Nokia, and the battery last as long as ever started from second or third charges !
Based on my experience you really don't need task killer constantly running in the background, android OS does a good job of killing programs in itself, and task killer sometimes kills programs that need to be running in the background and the OS then restarts the said program which takes up more battery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Right now as I'm typing this I'm at 38% battery running for 1 day 20 hours and counting, by the way I'm using DeLite 1.1 as I really like sense, but as I said, it doesn't matter which rom you use, its the programs that drain your battery

Yah i know what you mean, but I dont use the autokill function, I use to kill some programs i choose too
Also check battery use in the settings, my android system use now is only around 5-7%, when i had the battery drain problem android system was constantly above 50%

Looks just like mine, are you on 3g? mine stays on standby for about 8 hours during work, but heavy use when I get out but mostly on wifi since I don't have an unlimited data package

I used to be a sense freak aswell. I soon learned to love AOSP builds, smoother, faster and much better battery life. Do a nandroid backup and then try OpenDesire, CM6 or Defrost (whichever you prefer) just to test the battery life for a day or two.

Yes last night was on 3g, but i turn on wifi @ work and @ home
Could be the 3g, I would think that with you're usage its normal that it would drain quite fast...

It seems you have tried most of the tips from the various battery threads. However did you check your running services?(menu/settings/aplications/running services) I seem to remember for instance the skype services uses more than average battery.
Also, initially my battery life on leedroid wasn't great, untill i complete drained the battery, wiped battery stats and ever since then easily 36 to 40 hours connected to 3G, way more connected to 2G.
Also, check the mV value when your battery is charged, 100% isn't always the same. You can check this with spareparts, included in leedroid. Another thing i just remembered, people seem to recommend the overcharged application to check the mV value. On my phone that application actually seemed to drain the battery much quicker.
last tip for now, if you want to connect to 3G network set your phone to connect ONLY to 3g, NOT automatic 2g/3g.

some personal experience, I have stop using the little green thing, Advanced Task Killer Pro for 3 days. i realized my battery last more than slightly longer.
When i was using ATK, especially after waken from 8 hours sleep 20%-30% gone during idle. now without the ATK, these 3 days after i have waken only 5% gone during idle.

[Q] Battery drain: mystery network usage?

I'm running CM6.1 RC2, and the past couple of days I have experienced excessive drain, mainly in the first 50%. I attached a picture of the issue. I went to spare parts battery history to see the network usage, since in the about phone battery usage cell standby was 84% of the battery usage, and under network usage there was just an entry for 0, using the most network. When I clicked on '0' the settings application crashed. Yesterday it dropped 35% in 2.5 hours, before it slowed down. It was ridiculous, never used to have this problem, and the battery is only a couple of weeks old so it has to be software. Today it is at 53% after 7.5 hours, which is pretty decent, but at around 70% I disabled 3g and background data to save some energy for a few hours. Is there any way of figuring out what is causing this, or should I reflash? Could it be a CM6.1 RC2 bug? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance
BTW I have no idea why the dialer was so high in usage I only had like MAYBE 15 minutes total of voice calls in 2 hours. The 0 is what I'm concerned about.
Anyone? Bump? No one else is having the issue? Still happening to me on RC3.
I've been getting that problem too.
I used to have battery life of up to 4 days (Mostly standby), now I'm lucky if I get 1.5 (Same usage).
I went in to spare parts and it crashed for me too.
Battery drain here too since cm 6.1

Well '0' is he system's ID, 0 is root. In the graph the blue is bytes sent, red is bytes received. Have you checked other usage like CPU usage? That might be a better indicator of what's using your battery. Then from there you can start to narrow it down to a specific process or app. I'm using the latest nightly and don't have that issue, never have. I use a bit more battery than I think I should but nothing crazy.
Do you have wifi or bluetooth on? Those drain your battery like no other.
I havent used wifi at all today, unplugged at around 6:30, it's 3:45 now and I'm at 63%, but from around 9:50 to 11:45 and then from 12:20 to 2:20 I had airplane mode enabled since the time without a signal was at 70%, very low signal area. So it seems like for only 4 hours or maybe 5~ of non airplane mode time I should be at above 63%. I only had wifi on for a half an hour today. I'm considering going back to stock for a few days just to see the battery life comparison, and then nandroiding back to CM6.1. I always end up going back to AOSP-based roms in the end. I don't have a data plan on my phone at the moment, getting it today I'm pretty sure, so could all of the blue be from the phone continuously trying to access a website? But other people said they have the same issue and I'm assuming that they have data plans, so that can't be too much related. Hmm.
I also checked cpu usage and such like you suggested, there were a lot of things listed but all but two of them were too small to even have a bar. The two that did have a bar visible were minuscule to put it lightly, so that can't be an issue. Battery use in the about phone area always has cell standby at the top, normally between 40 and 80%. It would seem like there is way too much cell communication going on, moreso than normal. Cell standby stays at the top in even high signal areas, so it's not the signal levels. Kind of stumped here.
Well if the cell is in standby then it's linked to a tower and awaiting activity. Every now and then it 'checks in'. If it's doing that too often then that could seriously drain the battery. You're right though, I'd just switch back. Trouble shooting the exact issue wouldn't be worth the time. Maybe try flashing it again later, could have just been a corrupt download that didn't flash properly.
After conditioning my battery religiously (full to empty with every charge cycle) I am back up to about 15 to 16 hours from full battery to system shut down which is way better than the 10-12 hours I was getting when I first loaded RC2. CR_OTA ROM gave me up to 24-30 hours off of one charge with the exact CPU/2g/3g/wi-fi "routine" as I am using with RC2. Tracked battery usage with System Panel app and RC2 has a steady and even drain pattern ... an even diagonal line down the graph (100% to 0%). Cell standby uses a ridiculous 40% of the battery from full charge! On the stock ROM System Panel app shows plateaus throughout the day when the phone screen is off/sleeping where battery use is virtually non-existent. I'm going to load RC3 today and track the cell standby and battery usage. This time I am not going to use setCPU and just let the ROM run as the CM team designed it to be used and see if anything has changed. I tried this with RC2 and the battery still trended absolutely evenly from 100% to 0%. I can live with a 16 hour battery cycle for the CM ROM because it is very smooth and never has a glitch. The stock ROM is smooth as well but it has some buggy behaviors that I just cannot stand for and it does not run the latest GAPPS.
I've noticed i have exacly the same problem(was actually gonna post it when i found this thread)
Needless to say that on eclair my battery lasted ~48 hours constantly, not its drained in max 24...
The highest I have EVER gotten was 24 hours, and that was on a cm6.1 nightly build, pre RC2. I loaded cr_mod and experienced a HUGE drain. I had airplane mode on, just to test, and it dropped 7% in an hour, in AIRPLANE mode, with no screen on time. I went into spare parts and looked at the usage, and sure enough, "running" was at the top, with 99% of the time spent without sleeping. This has never happened before though, so I can probably attribute that to my modifications. I deleted a few apk's and de-odexed it before I flashed it, and I have a feeling something I did corrupted something else, so I'll flash plain old cr_mod and see where that leaves me. I should probably get back into the habit of full charge/drain every cycle. I used to do that until my battery started lasting longer than I was awake for, so I always had to plug it in at around 15 to 30%. I'll run some more "trials" and see what's going on.
Also, on an unrelated note, I love the stock rom, I always love the sense UI, but I hate HTC_IME compared to the froyo Latin_IME, is there any way at all I could port the froyo Latin_IME to the eclair stock rom?
Edit: also, I flashed dumfuq's OC kernel over cr_mod, could that have been the culprit to the battery drain?
Shouldn't be the culprit. It would drain quicker because of the clock speed but shouldn't be too bad.
Yes Latin_IME should be able to be used with sense. Just delete htc_ime and clicker.apk then install latin_ime and it's corresponding clicker.apk which you can get from various roms'. Btw, clicker is used to calibrate the keyboard so you don't have to install it.
NJAZ, what's the result on using CM6.1 without SetCPU? Big difference or not?

Actually, by process of elimination, the kernel was the issue. I remember hearing about there being a bug in the older dumfuq kernels with something idle being null, I really don't remember but it had something to do with sleeping. I flashed pure CR_mod and then 3.5 dumfuq and I experienced the same issue where it wouldn't sleep. I flashed 4.0, but I think it's too soon to determine whether or not the same issue with sleep is occurring.
I tried doing what you said with LatinIME.apk, I even imported the lib file from /system/lib on CM6.1, but the it was nowhere to be found in the system when I booted. It wasn't under keyboard settings, and HTC_IME was gone. I figured it was an incompatibility between froyo and eclair, since the stock sense rom is eclair and the LatinIME.apk is from a froyo ROM. Do I have to something more than just adb push the apk and lib file? I also tried installing it with a file manager, and no surprise, problem parsing the package. It's a system apk so I didnt expect it to be able to install via a file manager. Do I have to use adb install instead of adb push? I'm wondering if htc IME is so wired into the system that it won't work that way. What if I rename LatinIME.apk to htcime.apk or whatever the name of HTCime is and see if that works, because the system may be is treating that as the stock android keyboard, rather than a third party one, because it is labeled touch input in settings, just like LatinIME in aosp roms.
I'll experiment some more I guess
edit: Nevermind, 4.0 is draining as well, albeit less rapidly. Ah well. I guess I'll have to go back to CM6.1 if I want to do overclock. Shame, I love sense so much.
ANOTHER edit: nevermind, you were right, it isn't the kernel at all. It happens when I turn wifi off. I'm assuming that's because I don't have a data plan so it's continually retrying a server that it can't access. I don't know why it didn't do this on the stock HTC kernel, but I'm pretty sure it's the issue. If I turn wifi AND mobile data connection off, it stays at normal drain as well. Well, I'm at 11% and my battery app is estimating roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes remaining, so I don't know if that's GOOD, but I'll give it a good full charge tonight and run it tomorrow. I hopefully will have data activated tomorrow so I can really test it.
Hey guys new to the slide forum but not new to the site. I come from the G1 thread and we had the similar problem. How is your battery life on a 2.1 ROM? I have my phone rooted with a Sense ROM and it has 2.2 and i do see a bad battery drain as well. I remember froyo ROMs battery life may not be the greatest yet. I remember that was always a big problem over there and it looks like it still hurts here. Have you tried setcpu settings?
Maybe this information will help, i forgot to mention last time i posted that i'm not using a HTC device, i'm using Samsung Galaxy S, and there are more ppl with this problem on our forum aswell, so maybe someone can use this information correctly, i mean, it's either a program that's doing this or some strange freaky froyo process that not everybody has? or idk..
We'll need to get a log or something from one of the phones doing this and see if we can pinpoint the issue. Anyone experiencing this issue using compcache? Maybe it's doing some sort of background compression/decompression or swap is swapping too much while the phone is 'off'. Like I said, we'll need a log dump uploaded so we can sift through it.
As far as the latin_ime, try getting the one from a 2.1 vanilla rom. Check the slide rom bible for the 'senseless' roms like CM5 or something. That should do it.

As far as the latin_ime, try getting the one from a 2.1 vanilla rom. Check the slide rom bible for the 'senseless' roms like CM5 or something. That should do it.

Well my desire was to get the froyo latinIME onto eclair, since it's prediction engine was so much improved, but I'm getting used to HTC_IME so it doesn't matter.
As for the battery, for me at least, running the cmkernel from dumfuq, v4.0, I get BETTER battery life than the stock HTC kernel. Weird right? If I enable data I get tons of blue in spare parts, under network usage, for things like calendar and contacts. I'll have to assume that's because of the lack of data plan, my data plan doesn't become effective until december 9th. Otherwise, I have no excessive drain. It must be a cm6 issue, with cell polling. Cell standby was always up in the 70%+ range in battery usage in cm6, and on the stock rom it's around 27%. Wi-fi and display are highest, and I still get 20-25 hours.
I agree, to pinpoint the cause of the problem in cm6, someone needs a log to analyze, I'm not actually that smart with these things, nor am I running cm anymore, so can't really help there, but it'd be a good start.

Well I just recently saw this almost exact same issue (maybe not as extreme) on the samsung tablet running Cyanogen. They removed the phone, telephony, mms, and one more .apk to resolve it. This issue was caused by the lack of a use for those .apks but the system was still using them... a lot. It seemed similar but not exact, maybe some of us more tech savvy people can look into those and see if there's an issue.

Yeah that'd be cool. It must have something to do with that, since it's the cell radio sucking battery.

I flashed 6.1.0 stable, battery drain seems to be slightly less. I'm still at around 5 or 10% below where I was at this time on stock, with 9.5 hours off the charger, current level 57%. Although, I did use airplane mode for almost 2 hours, so really I'm like 10 or 20% below where I should be. I just can't figure it out, cell standby is at like 80% usage in this ROM. It's ridiculous, is it the polling intervals or something? How can it be so much less battery efficient than stock?
I flashed 6.1 RC2 with a low battery and had trouble with battery life. TMO's service was acting very strange for a couple of weeks and my cell standby was consuming a lot of juice. Flashed 6.1 RC3 with a well conditioned full battery. At first I used no setCPU just to see how things would go ... 11 hours from full battery to empty. Added setCPU to RC3 and got 27+ hours out of a full charge. Either TMO fixed it's towers or RC3 was better with cell standby because my network usage was not cranking overtime like it had been. Finally, I flashed 6.1 stable with setCPU and I average around 22 to 24 hours on one charge.
One observsation - when I first flashed RC2 I was really into my phone again. I was constantly tweaking it and flipping through options, testing apps, digging new Gapps, etc. ... bottom line I was just using my device waaaaay more than usual and I think that played a huge role in my (supposed) poor battery performance. All seems to be well with 6.1 stable.

[Q] Battery drained over night!

I have a problem with latest version of Android Revolution HD 6.1.0.
Yesterday afternoon I fully charged my phone and used it only a little bit until I went to bed and turned the phone off.
Today when I turned my phone on again (fastboot) I was shocked: Battery was at 25%.
How can the battery drain that fast over night while turned off?
I am using the correct Radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M), Superwiped before flashing new version of ARHD and also cleaned battery stats when it was fully charged.
Can you please help me finding out what is causing this?
I´m not getting that much battery life out of my HTC Desire HD either when running ARHD 6.1.0 ... Is there any RADIO that could help?
Weird - I have similar problem with 6.1 Revolution.
Battery seems fine all day, put it on my bedside table last night at over 80% battery...woke up this morning with 2% battery left!!
really weird.

I'm gonna download Current Widget now and enable the log option and see what is happening in the log overnight.
Post the log up then and see if someone can take a look.
Any news about this? I feel that mine is dropping rather fast aswell..
Saturday i installed 6.1, installed applications and used the phone.. At a total screen was on for 4 hours... After a total of 5 hours, the phone was down to 15% battery...
Does application installation take that much or is something not quite right? I feel that i had more batterytime with 5.2.4..
Now i can basically see the battery values dropping while using the phone.. I have current widget and sometimes when i start the screen and go to home screen it says way above 500mA, is this right?
Well i don't have any issues, while using ARHD 6.1 with the recommended Radio

How have you managed to have Display use up so little battery?
Mine always has about 75% and up, at the least...
I use Autobrightness with no Mod for lower Autobrightness.
I have nothing changed.
Flashed recommended Radio.
Flashed ARHD 6.1.
Done.
As you can see some harder Battery drops, while i was playing some Games. All time WLAN on. But i used it als always and had a very nice Battery expand.
Hmm, How much time is your display turned on? as i said, this saturday after i had flashed i emptied the battery in about 5 hours with screen on 4 of those.. Feels like the screen is taking alot of battery but i guess.. I had full brightness, not auto..
I don't know exactly but i would say display was active vor 15h+.
Autosync runs every 3h.
If you freshly flashed, it will take some time to stabilize. So maybe drain it until its empty/almost empty(10%) then get a full charge. Try to reboot and watch again. If you still have problems you schould install current widget and let i generate log. where you can see how much it drain if display is off and/or phone is standby.
If I put on screen from standby and check current widget i have 3mA/5mA. So if display is off the drain is very low.

[Q] Phone dies in less than 10 hours with extended battery.

So I've been running the RCMix3d for a week or two now, and everything has been great. Generally, after 16 hours or so I have 40% left on my extended battery (both on stock and RCMix3d). Now for the last two days, I've been getting this extreme battery drop where my phone dies in something like 10 hours.
I have no idea what it is, I thought it might be the newest facebook update (and facebook in the past was a CPU hog), but this time neither facebook nor any other offending app was appearing in the "Battery Use" chart. Everything seems completely normal, my battery use percentages are just about where they were when everything was fine. Watchdog is not showing any apps exceeding over the default threshold.
What can this be?!
Thank you
Run a dumpsys power command from a terminal. I bet you have a wake lock.

Too bad I wasn't patient enough to wait. I have reflashed stock already. Out of curiosity, what could cause a "wake lock"?
