Battery Drain

Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

Thanks, but i don't like the interface.. want have the sense feeling

Drain
Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.

Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.

Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

people are having mixed results on the battery perfermance of adam's sensefroyo rom. i experienced a poorer battery life compared to eclair (i used Amer_v4 and the battery was excellent) but can still manage to last a full day usually. haven't tried out the froyo roms though.

btw aren't you're using opendesire?

I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1

Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off

Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers

I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?

[Q] G2 ROM on Desire Z = Lower Battery Life?

Guys,
I've been jumping between ROMs since rooting my phone last week and one thing I've noticed is that my battery life takes a big hit when I'm using the G2 ROM.
You'd think that since it's a lot closer to stock Froyo than the Bell Desire Z ROM it would have better battery life, but that not what I'm seeing.
With both ROMs it seems that they will stay at 100% for a two or three hours and then start coming down - however it's much more dramatic with the G2 ROM and it seems as though it's battery drain gets accelerated.
Has anyone else noticed this?

For my part, while using CM 6.1RC1 the battery drain was amazingly bad.
Under Modaco G2 ROM, it's more reasonable. For casual use for 7h since being unplugged, I'm at 76%.

My phone's been unplugged for almost 7hrs and I'm at 85% battery on my original Bell ROM.
If you have Spare Parts installed, check Battery History. From there click on the "Running" bar. This will tell you how much time the phone has spent "awake" (this excludes the time the display has been on or while on a call).
I'm at 2hrs 18mins (+20mins with the display on).

Give my stock g2 rom a chance and tell me how that compares. I get better bat life out of stock kernel myself. Bet we could use some uv.

I've noticed something new.
I had my SIM card out of my phone today and it's been unplugged for 5hrs with not cellular network (but everything else going via WiFi) and it's still at 99% battery life.
Uptime is 5hrs 53mins with Awake Time at 1hr 36mins.
Is the cellular connection using more battery than it should be?

it looks like a combination of issues.
1. the android system uses a lot of battery
2.cell standby uses a lot of battery but less than android system
i have a unlocked bell desire z.
installed CyanogenMod RC2 but had to roll back to a sense based rom because the battery drain was just too much.

I figured it out, Kik Messenger was the main culprit.
It's been great since I uninstalled that.
To figure it out o had to restore to a clean rom and install one app at a time. At that point id leave my phone alone for a couple hours and check "wake" time under battery history in Spare Parts. If it was more than 10% we had our app.

Longest time with Display On while on battery

To all the heavy users out there: I'm interested in hearing about the battery life of your phones under heavy use. I figured that the Display On time in Settings>AboutPhone>Battery>BatteryUse seemed like a good measure - the amount of time the phone display is on before battery runs out. Also, I usually have wifi/3G on almost all the time. To make a start here's mine (mostly browsing):
ROM: 2.29.405.2 WWE
Time: 4 - 4.5 hours
I'm quite happy with the results, though I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this. Thanks.

i got about 4 and a half hours of screen time over the course of 2.5 days... tons of texting.

Great, which ROM are you using? My 4.5 hours was over the course of a day. I might consider flashing a custom ROM as soon as I can get my hands on a class 6 micro SD. The battery gives about 5 hours of on time for games, watching movies and other non data stuff, which is pretty decent I think.

Same here... 4,5 h is a good value. If I dim the screen for at-home-use (6% brightness via quicksettings) I might get 5 hours.. a lot of network/wifi usage or gaming of course decreases the lifetime...
BTW: I'm on LeeDroid 2.2f

i am using defrost on the 6.0i HAVS 1113mhz kernel BFS.
probably best rom around. really fast, and i can use 20% brightness and get 2 days worth no problem. hope this helps!

ics and battery life

At first my girlfriend had her Nexus S updated to ics and immediately we noticed a huge difference in how long her battery lasted and she is the furthest thing from a heavy user.
So when I heard that ics ws being released for our phone my first thought was i hope that what she experienced won't be what i do as we have a better phone right?
Well I am sad to say on a stock but rooted rom I experience the same lack of battery life as her.
Now I am no beginner to Android and have changed all sorts of settings available and nothing syncs on its own and when I unplug my phone from charging in the morning I will need to plug my phone in at night before bed as my phone will be completely dead.
I have to say I am very disappointed in the battery life of thr the stock rom and hope some good kernels make it out to help.

Have you tried to find out which app/process is draining your battery? Better Battery Stats can help you identify what is using up your battery.
I had a big keep awake problem when i first installed stock ICS on my T989D. I did a full wipe of the phone and formatted my internal SD card (after backing things up of course), reinstall the same stock ICS and everything works great now. Battery life is about the same as before (stock GB w/ Synergy kernel), which is about 30 hours with moderate use.

Try CM 9. I get almost 2 days of battery life.

Though I am now on AOKP, I had great battery life on stock ICS as well. But, everything is subjective. How many email accounts are being synced? Do you have Facebook / Twitter / G+ updating every hour? Do you have news feeds continuously updating as well?
I have to agree with the poster above. Get Better Battery Stats and find the culprit draining your battery and work from there.

biggest thing draining the battery is the screen.
you can literally watch the battery usage drop 10-15% in a period of 10 to 15 minutes which is absurd when its set to low.

Wait for kernel development. Its underway as we speak. It will make a significant difference.
Some battery saving tips:
- use juicedefender and set it to aggressive mode.
- use romtoolbox or other programs to underclock cpu frequency.
- also try using telus stock ics. Very good battery life.

I have a brand new T989D (I'm new to Android, former iPhone user) and got the ICS upgrade the day I got it (9 days ago). Battery life is terrible, I'm lucky if I get 10 hours of moderate usage. The phone also tends to run very, very hot. Sometimes apps freeze and all I can do is either wait or, in some cases, remove the battery to reboot.
I'm open to any tips that will get this fixed! I haven't rooted yet (no time). I think I will try those wipe tools and reflash the stock ICS ROM.
First post btw - glad to have joined XDA!

Stock, not rooted, my battery life is great. Something is using your battery up, and flashing some exotic kernel isn't going to change that. The stock kernel works fine. You'll want to find the root of the problem. Keep a real-time (or 1-5s interval anyway) eye on the phone's current (mA) usage, and when it's high for no apparent reason, you'll know that whatever is sucking your battery is doing it right then. That should help you characterize the problem. I've noticed when my WCDMA/GSM radio signal sucks, so does the battery life, so I either turn off the radio or switch to GSM only when I'm in that area. If your display is what's eating your battery, well a kernel can't stop that. Turn the brightness down, leave it on auto-brightness, or just deal with it if you need the display on all the time. But if tweaking and modding makes you happy, by all means...

I have the same complaint. The "screen" battery usage is just unacceptable, especially compared to GB. My phone has been draining from a full charge for ~4.5 hours and my screen usage is 70% and battery is down to 65% with hardly 10 minutes of screen-on time.

I use an app called autostarts and you basically enable/disable apps that start running when certain events happen (phone startup, wifi being turned on, incoming call/sms/mms, other apps turning on, etc.). Just make sure you do your homework so you dont disable something critical. Hopefully this app works on ICS. You'll be surprised what different events make certain apps turn on automaticly. Screen, data/wifi, gps and bluetooth are the biggest battery drainers. No matter what Rom you are on if you don't keep control of those items your battery will drain fast. Keep ur screen on auto, let it go off @ 15 seconds ( you have to be pretty used to your phone for that setting not to annoy you), turn OFF your data or wifi when not in use. With bluetooth and gps...well u know that when you use them your battery is gonna drain faster than normal...just keep that in mind. Its all pretty much common sense.
I'm not going to tell you how much battery time I get cuz its nonsense. There are times my phone lasts till the next day and others Im charging it by sundown. Then again Im still on Juggs n Darkside kernel and Im gonna wait a bit still b4 I make the switch. Also don't go by what other people say on battery life cuz if you might not get the same results on that ROM. Everyone of our devices is unique and acts different. Everyone user uses their phone different. You can't define "light, moderate, heavy" use so don't go by that either.

After upgrading to ICS stock unrooted battery life sucked (5-6hrs). I did the whole remove battery, factory reset and still sucked.
Broke down rooted (still stock), downloaded batterycalibration from play, followed the instructions. Easily get over 24hrs before having to charge again. and when I say easily, I mean I still have over 25% left.

Bingo. Vastly different battery life between ROM's is generally BS. Every once in a great while one of these threads has merit but typically someone saying ROM X had "Killer" battery life is clueless and drinking the koolaid. Then a placebo effect takes place. And definitely someones "Heavy" use is subjective. If someone says they get a day out of an android phone they are not heavy users by my definition. It doesn't happen with heavy use. Perhaps the Razr Maxx or another phone with a very large battery but I've had 5 Android phones. If I get past noon it's because I am not using my phone that much and forget about a full day. It's never happened in the 4 years I've used google OS phones. Never.

Honestly, you are the smartest dev left on that team...
So, I will share.. radio eats up battery and display does.. so, I don't check my emails frequently.. in fact have network off most of the time.. operate on wifi and sip when needed, gps never used.. display at a minimum with a fairly quick timeout.. power saving features in kernel, undervolted and underclocked more and more as battery expires.
Wouldn't release a rom like I use to the general public bc most would consider the stuff I disabled as broken, but I only allow what I use, when I use it... Currently trying to eek 72 hrs out of this lil phone Not gonna make it on this try though.
