[Q] Seriously? Cyanogen ROM kills battery like this?

I have done a bunch of reading since my first flash to Cyanogen's 6.1 but not finding really satisfactory answers.
With the old rooted stock deodexed...I was getting about 14-15hrs of moderate-high use. So basically I pulled the cord at around 7am and plugged back in around 6pm with about 40%.
Was fine.
Flashed 6.1 last night and now I am two hours off charge and sitting at 58%!! I have all syncs turned off and I have no wifi/gps/4g running. The ONLY widget at the moment is weather and it only updates when I hit refresh.
My search has shown something called battery calibration...but that doesn't make sense to me. I have done the long charge, power off charge, power on charge etc... But since I have a wall battery charger I have just moved away from that and occasionally swap out my batteries for a full charge in that thing.
Does that 6.1 REALLY need another voodoo approach to battery life? Also the threads I have found seem to be for the nexus one or the HTC Magic(?).
Anyone else suffering HORRIBLE battery life after flashing 6.1?
Anyone got a link to a fix for the EVO and maybe something that I can get through the day with (do not have my charger at work)?

When I flashed CM7 to my wife's phone the battery was horrible (Less than 2 hours). I recalibrated the battery and the next charge lasted 2 days. Give this a try:
Battery recalibration
If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following:
Charge the device to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About device -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)
Boot to recovery mode and delete the battery stats
NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the device immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for CyanogenMod to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the device, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.
Do not charge the device until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.
Recharge the device completely and then use as you normally would.
Also, CM6.1 or CM7 should get decent battery life. If it still doesn't try flashing a different kernal. I found that savaged zen bfs sbc kernal extended my life considerably.

Thats a old cm, cm is now cm 7... maybe try that one..

Yea Cm6 is dated. But that shouldn't matter.. I actually had fantactic battery when I was on cm6, much better than what I get on cm7.
First, check spare parts for wakelocks and make sure you don't have any. After that, follow Fazulkas advice to reset battery stats, follow it correctly tho. I never thought wiping stats would make a difference, but it surely does.

Ok, I'll try that process when I get home tonight. (Guess I can survive w/o a phone for a few hours?!?! :^O) Haven't set up more than just the google account on this ROM as I wanted to test it first. So maybe tomorrow it will win me over.

DATED?!?! LOL! It was only just a final release a few months back...;^) It has all the important stuff working where as 7 doesn't and it is still a RC.
:^P
(Have you seen my sig? Old dogs only try the proven tricks thank you very much. :^)

CM6 is not dated. In fact CM 6.1.3 is the most current stable-release version of CM available!

Its not the ROM. Anytime you flash a ROM, you need to calibrate your battery. By calibrate it isn't the plug in over and over method.
You charge to 100%, discharge it fully. Charge back to 100% then wipe battery stats in recovery. Then use your phone.

There is your problem. Anytime you flash a new rom, you need to give it at least a day or two to fully calibrate everything in the rom.

HUH...this is my fourth ROM flash, first one away from stock rooted and I have never had this issue. Maybe the stock ROMs do not have this issue?

Need battery advice!! -g2

Can someone please give me some advice on what to do with my battery! Only been on for about 7 hours and I'm already at 34%!! Well 33 as of now.. This is NOT normal! Only talked for about an hour total today! I always have wifi on because I don't have a data plan! -Medium usage.

Some advice I can shed on this is having Wifi on all the time, (by all the time you mean at least 24/7), that could be a strong point why your battery life is low. Another thing is the number of apps that require data being pulled running in the background
1. Having Wifi on for the time you state is bad if you don't have a signal. Reason why is that since there is no signal for your Wifi to obtain it will continue to search and fail, search and fail which actually drains some good amount of battery being forced to repeat such a task unlike when having a steady signal it's usage becomes minimal
2. High number of data pulling apps also works the same except then have the option to change the time they pull data which can be usually found under settings/options tab
Try these out and let us know how it goes =]

When I have wifi on, I am always somewhere where I have wifi. I do leave it on while driving, but that's no more that a few minutes until it reconnects.

Hmmmmm
I barely noticed that you are running a custom rom. After flashing the new rom did you wipe battery stats? If not, that can actually affect battery life as all roms run differently and different data is applied to the battery stat
There are two ways to go about wiping the stats. You can boot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache under the advanced settings or you can download Battery Calibration from the marketplace which in my experience is a lot easier
Battery Calibration
The instructions are inside the app on how to implement the process

I had this rom for a while but when I flashed it, I did not wipe data or anything. I decided to wipe data to give it a try and reflashed it. I charged it completely and calibrated it. I am in the process of running the battery until it dies so I can recharge it to complete the calibration process.

DO NOT drain the battery until it dies!!! Just down to 15-20%, then charge to full, repeat a couple times. Over-discharge is not good for Li ion batteries.
People on here keep recommending it, or saying they do it. Its NOT a good idea, and proliferating this bad advice needs to stop. Draining the battery to dead is bad for the life of the battery. Also over-discharge can possibly render the battery unable to take a charge, requiring you to buy a new battery. It doesn't happen often, but its happened to a few different people on this phone, and other phones as well.

You seem to know a lot so i'm gonna ask ya redpoint. People say there is a built in safety zone so even when the battery is reporting as 0 it really isn't. The batteries do not allow themselves to get below a certain threshold for the reason you are explaining. Is this not true? Lots of people who know nothing of xda or cell phones in general let there phone run the whole way out for whatever reason. I would think that cell/battery manufacturers would take that into consideration.

the reason people used to tell you to drain the battery complete was based on an older battery tech that has what you would call a "memory" it needs to "memorize" it's lowest and highest point in order to calibrate the battery. Li-ions do not need that. They actually keep track of your charge cycles.
suppose it can handle 1000 cycles. on the first day, you used up 75% of your battery and put it on the charger to max. then the next day you use another 75% and do the same thing. at this point what actually happens is that the battery will count this as 1.5 cycles rather than 2 cycles. But redpoint is right.
Do NOT drain the battery completely when it's a Li-ion battery. it's old advice for old tech battery that is legit for that type of battery but not Li-ion batteries.
To calibrate your battery, you just use your phone normally. It will figure out where it is supposed to be as you use and charge it over the course of a few days.

better battery life

It is true that there is a built in 'safety zone' so that the battery does not drain completely to zero.
However, it is also true that this 'safety zone' can and HAS failed for some users (including some who are on these forums)
With the way that Li-Ion batteries work, and 'calibrate', there is no added benefit to draining it completely to zero. If there is no benefit, then the risk is not worth it.

These ideas ran through my mind reading your post:
I. You might want to calibrate your battery. I've run into many instruction how to do this (just google the keywords: Desire Z calibrate battery), but basically the ones that do NOT require you to drain your battery to zero first, came down to this:
0. Turn Fastboot OFF!
1. Power on your Desire then connect to your Charger and Fully charge until the LED changes Green.
2. Disconnect your phone from the charger and then power off.
3. Reconnect your phone to your charger with the power off and wait for the green LED.
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5. Once the phone has fully booted / ready to use ... power off again.
6. With the power off connect the phone to the charger and wait for the green LED.
7. Disconnect from the Charger then power on and use normally.
Many people seem to have greatly increased their battery life just by following those simple steps. I am currently in the process of trying it myself, but will probably need some hours before I can verify if the overall life has significantly increased.
II. You might want to install an App like "Watchdog lite" for a longterm check if you have any apps or processes, that work as a battery eater in the background.
III. if the above tips should fail, you might want to upgrade your radio and maybe also align the radio library (RIL), to match it best with your radio and ROM. But do a lot of reading and research before actually performing that task, since this is nothing for beginners and might even make things worse. This thread might be a good point to start your research.

Boostmobile evo battery drain!! Help!!

Hello all, I hope all is well! I have a huge problem... I've been running my evo on the boost network for the last two months and have been getting no more than 4 hours of battery use from every rom I use. I even tried the old destroyer rom and a number of different kernals. Im in need of help as soon as possible!!

How about a little more info. What battery are you using? How old is it? Have u checked to see what is running? Did this start as soon as you switched networks?

Im using the stock battery and its only about 3 months old... It was a claim from asurion. It started happening soon as I switched networks. While on sprint I could easily get a day 1/2 usage.

It could have something to do with your radios, or just be a random coincidence with something else that's causing the drain. I'm not familiar with flashing to Boost at all, so I don't know if you have a different set of radios, PRI/NV, etc. You could try flashing a different radio, newer or older.

Just updated to the latest radios and battery still sucks!

I have Boost too.
The battery drains quicker with low or no signal.

download Spare Parts and check Partial Wake Usage, this will tell you if an app or apps are causing this.

Well I GUESS THIS IS DEAD...

Be sure to calibrate your battery whenever you flash a new ROM to optimize battery life. I prefer to calibrate using this method:
1) While your phone is powered on, charge the battery until the LED turns green.
2) Unplug the phone from the charger and wait until the LED turns off.
3) Now power off your phone.
4) When the phone is off, plug the charger into the phone and charge it until the LED turns green.
5) With the phone still off, unplug the charger and wait until the LED turns off.
6) Now power on the phone.
7) Wait until the phone is booted completely and then power off the phone again.
8) When the phone is off again plug the charger into your phone and charge it until the LED turns green.
9) Now boot your phone into recovery mode and navigate to the "Advanced" option using the volume up and down keys and then choose the option "Wipe Battery Stats."
10) Now reboot your phone and use it normally. You should notice improved battery life.

Wiping battery stats is actually been found to be ineffective/cause more harm than good the best way to actually "calibrate" the battery is to backup your rom flash to aosp or froyo with an sbc kernel let your phone drain til it powers off boot it back up and let it shut off again usually only takes a few mins sometimes it wont power on again, plug in charger wait til red led stops blinking turn the phone on and charge it to 100 uninterupted and leave it plugged in for 15-30 mins at 100% then nandroid back to your back up do this once a month or find an aosp setup u like and stick with it, the myth of sbc damaging li ion batteries is just that a myth newer phones have trickle charging kernels stock now such as the rezound et4g and a few others that i dont remember off the top of my head

Well, everyone has their own opinions. For me, I prefer the method I posted over the app for battery calibration, because I get better results. Also, I've never heard of any negative side-effects from wiping battery stats, but feel free to do what you wish.

Monday and Tuesday I stayed in New Orleans Louisiana. I typically had 5 bars as far as signal goes.. While there I didn't have to charge the phone at all for 2 days with heavy usage might I add. The minute I made it back to my small town, the battery started to drain incredibly fast! So I've come to the conclusion that it is the poor service that drains the battery. With that being said, I would like to thank you all for your input!

[Q] Need help with battery

hi all , i used my htc wildfire for 8 month and at first my battery displays 100% when its full but since 3 month till now it always display around ~ 40 - 60 % and can't increase more . So someone can help me . Thx for read and sorry for my bad english

Are you using custom ROM or the stock ROM that comes out of the box(Froyo v2.2) ?
If, you are on custom rom, then you may try deleting the batterystats.bin present in /data/system. But first charge your wildfire, and if your removing your wildy from the charger after it gets the green led indicator, then wait till it reaches the 100%. In my case my wildy gets the green indicator in 90% but I wait till it reaches the 100%.
So, when you get to 100 reboot into recovery and select the option "delete the batterystats.bin" in wipe section. and then use the phone till it reaches 20% and then connect to charger but this time make sure you do not use the phone till it reaches the 100%(you may charge it when its switched-off.).
Note: charging through USB connected to PC gives a better battery life than the adapter provided for charging.
If, you are not getting 100% as previously mentioned, then also you can try deleting the file using recovery. You can download an app from market which will also do the same "Battery Calibration".

I have same problem too. My battery charge till 75 % and then stopped, i charged it on turned off and then turned on. I tried to install Battery calibration but this app doesnt let to calibrate battery till is not on 100 %. Also I tried to unroot the phone, some say that it will helo but still useless.

@Justin5 : "Also I tried to unroot the phone" if you haven't unrooted it then you can try to delete the batterystats.bin file from recovery(explained in the previous post). If you have unrooted your phone, then you will have the stock Sense ROM v2.2. In that case also, your battery backup will decrease.
So, better stick to any custom rom. I am now using SplashMOD v1.6. Its fast, stable and backup is also good with some customization. You can try CM-7,RemPuzzle also(try searching in CM7 post for the stable ROM, you can read reviews to get a better idea).
Note: You haven't told of the ROM you are using.

Batterystats.bin contains information about what uses the battery doesn't it? I don't think it tells it how much charge to hold + it gets deleted everytime you wipe and flash so I don't see how deleting that file can help.

I was reading an article on this the other day in the android forums,and I believe it was saying that wiping the battery stats does absolutely nothing even in regards to calibration. I might have read wrong but I'm sure that's what it was insinuating.

Battery calibration does work (at least it did for me, when my battery discharged in 1 hour on my and worked normally after calibration on my tablet)

Don't shoot the messenger lol.the article (not me) was saying that just a good old discharge and recharge is enough and wiping stats is pointless. If I can find it I will link it.
one minute it works,the next it doesn't......yes that's right its the crappy xda update.

deteling the battery status can work but if the battery has some damage will stay that way, i hate the battery for the wildfire, it does not last very long...

I also noticed the difference before and after wiping the batterystats.bin when I was in SplashMOD v1.0. The backup also get increased if the battery is charged through USB till it gets 100%.
But, If the phone has been continuously used without the complete charge cycle, then the battery life will get decreased.

I'll say it again for the hard of hearing, Its not possible for batterystats.bin to affect battery life in any way.
When you go to settings/battery where it tells you what %of the battery has been used by what, that is the only information stored in batterystats.bin and nothing else, it also resets itself every single time you fully charge the phone so no need to wipe it as chances are you already have not long ago.
Yes discharging the battery fully and then recharging fully will prolong battery life, but its not always practical to do so and even if you do, all batteries will come to the end of there life sooner or later.

Battery Calibration[Root][No recovery][APP][02/05/13]

BATTERY CALIBRATION
Hi!
As we know when we install a new rom we sometimes have battery drain or when we flash a new kernel etc..... what is this?? this means that your battery goes to 0% very quickly!
The normal steep is goes to recovery and wipe battery stats!!
but what i do if in recovery don't appear something like wipe battery stats??
simple!! be sure that your nexus is completely charged,download this app ,, tap on battery calibration !! (after that charge your nexus without break)and congratulations.... buy a beer and make a party!!
I don't made this app.... just share it....
i will upload the link in a note pad... why?? simple.... i can't put links!!!

There is no need for battery calibration. Just discharge to 0% then charge back to 100% and you should be good to go.

It doesn't even need to be to zero.
Everyone should go to batteryuniversity.com and read the articles on cycling and charging li-Ion batteries. Then you will be able to make sense of conflicting advice on batteries.

The myth of wiping battery stats was thoroughly debunked almost a year and a half ago. It is a 100% true statement that neither this app nor wiping battery stats in recovery has ever affected anyone's battery life or battery indication in any way, shape, or form.
Want to know why battery drains after flashing a new rom or kernel? Hint- it has absolutely nothing to do with incorrect battery stats- totally disregarding the fact for a moment that batterystats.bin has absolutely nothing to do with battery charge indication.. After flashing a new rom, your device is actually using more battery than usual as accounts are set up and synced. Likewise, after flashing a new kernel, it takes a short amount of time for the kernel to "settle."
If you still believe the myth that battery stats need to be wiped every now and again, there's an even easier way to do it than wiping in recovery or using some snake oil app... charge your device to full or near full and then unplug it from the charger. Voila- you've just successfully wiped battery stats!

OP, stop posting nonsense. Seriously.

Strange battery behavior
It's actually odd, my battery started getting stuck at 100% like a week ago or so, after 11 hrs standby time and 30 mins screen-on time, it doesn't even drop 1%. However, it shuts down normally at 1%. I actually tried so many things to fix this, i opened the back cover and pulled the battery out, i let it run dead and charge it all the way up, but it just seems to like that 100% mark. Since it actually shuts down at 1%, i wanted to make sure it's completely dead, so i booted into recovery and oddly, with max brightness in twrp, it took about 15 mins for the device to completely shut down.
Any ideas what might fix this?

Bear in mind that you optimally do not want to discharge the battery to the point of shutdown. Doing so shortens its lifespan, and can trigger the N7 to go into a hibernation mode on order to protect the battery from permanent unrecoverable damage due to a deep discharge.

i have a question....... i discovered this app because mi battery was giving me problems..... for example...... it charges very quickly .... and when i had mmmmm 15% my tablet just shutdown....... when i use this app, i charged my battery to 100% and i "calibrate" my battery ,and my battery works perfect again, now my tablet shutdown in 0% or something like that..... so that could be called calibration.... o what?
thanks!!

The app has nothing to do with it as the only thing it clears is the list of processes that have operated on battery since the last full or near full charge.
The only "calibration" that an end user can perform entails a complete discharge/charge cycle. This resets the flags for the battery's internal fuel gauge.

Is there a fix for stuck battery percentage? My tablet was working fine and all of a sudden I realized it was being stuck at 100% regardless of how much I used it.

This is all the recalibration the device needs.
Naja is 99% correct. It's not the only calibration you can do (you can wipe stats), but it's the only one you should need to do.
batteryuniversity.com has a couple of good articles on the care and feeding of Li-Ion batteries. There is a lot of less than accurate info that floats around about batteries. The above site is a good way to learn the difference.

Wiping stats does nothing in terms of calibration.
