battery sucks PERIOD on these phones.. if your a heavy user you should prob think of upgrading your battery..might make it a little more bulky but at least you wont have to worry about a charger in 2 hrs

I'm on Virtuous 3.01, Kernal 2.6.32.17, Radio 2.15.00.07.28, with the stock battery and on average I get about 5.5 hours of heavy use per charge. I've used this setup for the past 2 weeks without bump charging and it's pretty consistent.

Thats basically normal. Go on ebay and buy galilio battery there are 2 for $20 and they work really well. Then you have an extra battery to carry and youll get through any day

Wow... Wish I could get that amount of time from my battery. Looks like it's time for an extended battery.

Is it 2.5 hours of constant web browsing over 3g? Even then that seems a bit short. I can pull around 4 - 4.5 hours with that behavior. Then again its been a while since I've used a stock rom/kernel...

Don't forget, there's other stuff that uses battery:
GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, screen brightness, and.... synching.
Take a look at the number of and frequency of the accounts you sync - these all consume battery.

I licked my battery leads.
Don't do it.

You sir are the man

I would say try a new rom...if it's battery life youre looking for try out redemption or redemptive rom both by heyitslou...they have bloatware removed and I've been able to keep it goin all day on 1 charge overnight with moderate usage...i work 7-5 everyday and usually leave work with 60 percent left...i actually just switched to ziggys oc kernel and battery is better for me

[Q] Battery lifetime on official OTA Froyo ROM release?

Hi
Any news on how long battery last on the new official release?
Im currently on Pays ROM, and battery last between 24-48 h, with 3g and wifi turned on and daily use of phone, sms and browsing.
Just tried some ROMs that didnt even last a whole day
In 3 hours I have nearly used 50% of battery and that is with 3 short phone calls.
System, cell standby, wifi and phone idle account for 80% usage. Was using a different froyo rom before putting oem one on and did not have this type of drain.
Also not using an app killer as people have been saying that the system can handle the apps, that has not been the case and will install again.
My battery drain has been up massively since I went to 2.2 with the OpenDesire ROM. Phone standby takes most of it. What's causing such excessive usage? Even on the official ROM now :-/
What ROM's are you guys getting best battery with?
You should post on which ROMs you have the battery drain...
I have had massive battery drain on all ROMs until I started using the rooted 2.2 OTA. I would have to charge my phone twice every day but now it's great, I have 65 percent left after a full day of heavy use.
Edit: tried almost every FroYo ROM before this.

Which ROM are you using? I can't decide which one to download
Battery life is also my only problem with this otherwise amazing phone
Maybe it's the rom/radio combination!?
I had PaysDesire v2.3 before installing the OTA 2.2. The battery with PaysDesire with average use went from 100% to like 60% in 12 hours. With the latest one, i lost 8% in 2 hours but with over average usage. Testing the camera, installing apps, setting up things...
That is why I am still not convinced that the battery sucks on 2.2 and I will wait few days (until the shine wears off, as Coldplay would say) before bringing my final decision.

yep ,I now about
you use OTA officiall not ruted
Doesn't you guys' phones' display use most of the battery? For me it's at least 70% of the battery usage.
With SetCpu I use about 1% battery on standby, but as soon as I use it, it drains battery like crazy, even though the brightness is set to 25%...
I am using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
I took it off charge at 7 a.m. an have used it quite heavily today and the battery is still at 50% so I am pleased.
8 Hours and im on 68 %
2 Hours 3D Gaming and browsing 1 Hour.SmS/Few Calls between.
Official 2.2 Froyo ROM.
Wait for Kernel Sources and i think Battery Drain will fall and fall =)

I'll second that. Definitely getting better battery performance on ieftm's ROM than any of the 2.2 ROM's I've used before including Neophytes's, DeVillain, and various others. I've also got much more memory too.

you win the prize for the 1000th desire user posting in the wrong section. The moderators are probably going to win their 100th prize for not moving threads/warning people. And we'll just end up with the 10th thread about battery life scattered in every place.
that aside, no rom or os version has changed a fig for me about battery. It's still good in reasonable terms.

+1.i am getting really good battery performance on this ROM.
but from my experience even from WinMO you will never find a single ROM on which people would agre on 100% that is good or bad.everyone is getting different results.everyone has different apps instaled,using different combination of services (push mail,wi fi,3G...).
Someone will always claim good battery life and others will say it is crap.this is really about testing what works for you the best.
Sorry for my english guys...
When i have a good connection then my battery is ok. After 16 hours i have still 12%. If my connection is bad (i'm in a building) so it search for connection and lost it again i see the battery drain and my battery is empty after few hours...

Unfortunately, there are no definitives, and if you aren't getting good battery life with the stock kernel with warm2.2, you might want to start looking at some battery tweaks.
There is a thread over in the Evo 4g General forum, the title is "2.2 ultimate kernel review :: Updated 11/6/10" and the OP is skydeaner. His site also has one of the battery "fixes" if its not holding a charge correctly.
Unfortunately, I can't link to it, since I'm still a newbie poster, but, some of the higher rated ones are Kings #11, and the new Net 4.2 kernels.

Im having good luck so far with Nets 4.2.1 CFS more aggressive smartass universal.
There were a lot of people complaining about the awake time of the 4.2 build, so Net tried to tweak the 4.2.1 to have the great sleep time of 42 with the great awake time of 4.1.9
I havent had the phone awake alot today but with light use I have gone from 100% at 8 am to..... 75% at 10:30pm This was no browsing or games, just phone for about 5-10 minutes and maybe 5 minutes of texting only 1.25 hrs awake time total so far.... so very light use today. But ive NEVER had the phone stay 75-80% inot the evening.
I REALLY hope the awake performance is as good as the sleep performance. We'll see how it does tomorrow under some stress.

Just for a baseline, I just put my phone back to root to take it back, I've lost 50% over about 26 hours of moderate texting and usage with just JuiceDefender running.
I have Kings #11 and my battery blows. I drain 25% in less than an hour with moderate use. This is off topic but when you enable your 4G does it automatically turn off on you. I think my 4G is broken and just want to know. I may need to reflash it.
im runnin it with stock kernal and i have no complaints. I just took a screenshot showing like 43% left off charger for 14 hours and talk time was like 1hour and 23 mins. Plus iv used it to play mabey half hour of games and half dozen text. Il see if i can get the ss posted.

Battery sucks free root

Hello guys, I'm new to the scene but my phone has been rooted for a few months now and the battery life has been sucking lately. When I first rooted my phone I used SetCPU and it worked great, but it started freezing my phone. The most battery life I got was about 21hrs with light usage. On an average day I'd get about 18hrs with moderate usage. But lately, its been going downhill. I have about 3 EVO batteries and switch em from time to time when I don't have time to charge my phone , I use a 3rd party battery dock to charge my spares btw and it doesn't overheat/overcharge them. I no longer use SetCPU and I am now using the Overclock widget v3.26, and the latest versions of JuicePlotter/JuiceDefender which are 1.1.6 I believe. Please help, I'm stumped. I hardly even get 10hrs on moderate use. Specs are posted below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Horrible Batter Life - MikFroyo 4.4

As a base comparison, while I was running the stock HTC software (3.70) I could go 15-17hrs a day on a single charge. My typical day was to unplug the phone at about 8am and plug back in at about midnight. My average usage of the phone would be a little time in Angry Birds, a lot of crossword puzzles with an app called Shortyz (typically 2-3hrs a day), a lot of texting and email and some phone calls. Sometime I would have some usage of Google Nav. Wifi would be on 100% of the time, even when not connected to a network. When I finally plugged the phone back in I would typically have between 20-30% of the battery life left.
I flashed MikFroyo last week. Initially I did not wipe the user data first. I did wipe cache/dalvik. Updated profile and PRL on first boot. Everything was working fine, however, battery life was terrible. My typical battery life running MikFroyo has been 7-8hrs. About 1/2 what I was getting. And, with a typical day keeping me out of the house and away from a charger for 15hrs or more this is not a good situation. I am still using the phone the same way.
A few days ago I thought maybe the better actually had more life but the battery status was reporting it wrong. So, I wiped the battery stats, ran the battery down to 0 and then fully charged the phone. So far, I am getting the same reporting on the battery life.
Yesterday I had 100% at noon after another charge and by 6pm I was down to 20%. I love this rom and would like to keep running it if I can figure out how to get my old battery life back.
Thinking that it may have had something to do with the full wipe first I reflashed the rom, this time I did a full wipe/cache/dalvik twice before flashing the rom again. Battery life is still horrible. This does not make sense to me with MikFroyo using the same kernel as the HTC software and with all the bloatware that was removed plus my use of Titanium to freeze even more useless apps.
Anyone have any ideas what I can check to try to restore my original battery life?

I just restarted the phone and have been going through all of the settings screens again. So, both times are very similar right now. I will let it sit for a bit and check agian.
If it is staying awake for some reason, what would you suggest I look at to fix it?

It depends what is causing it.
I just checked again and the uptime and awake time are only a few seconds apart. So, it appears that I do have an issue with the phone remaining awake after it turns off the screen.
Back to my original question in regard to this: What should I check as possible causes?
Here is what is listed under Android System

HTC Widget Download Manager

Network Location

HTC Checkin Service

I've been on Mik's ROM for a weeks now, and I LOVE it!
Can't give you a battery comparison as I am on a 3500 mAh battery with netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-nohavs-nosbc Kernel.
You may want to flash a new Kernel and see if that helps as well. Won't be an apples to apples comparison with the stock sense with stock kernel, but if you are looking for better battery in general, I know that it has definitely improved mine.

Downgrade your pri back to 1.77 and all will be well again. This has solved many a battery problem, you're wake time will no longer be 100%. Give it a shot, always nand first just in case.

Many people have reported 100% awake time with the 1.90 and different ROM/Kernel combinations. There is debate on what it actually is ... I won't go into that but give it a shot you shouldn't have ill effects and I'm betting the 100% wake will be fixed. If not you can always go back to 1.90. If you search there are plenty of threads on this. It was just discussed in the Mik thread also. Calkin has a whole thread on it. I'm on xda app right now or I'd post a link its "all radio wimax pri versions" or something. Just grab the 1.77 pri zip and flash away. Let me know how it works.

I had an issue with battery life with the first MikFroyo I flashed and the PRI downgrade was the answer. Also a netarchy kernel helped even more.
I flashed PRI v1.77 and netarcs 4.3.1 cfs-havs-nosbc. Will let you all know how it goes. I don't want to jump the gun either way without giving it some time to really show me what it will do.
There is nothing wrong with the PRI or the rom! You should find what is keeping the phone up. It certainly is not a PRI!

Apparently there is still something going on. The Uptime vs Awake time seems to be more in line now but the battery is still dropping like a rock. It has only been off the charger a couple of hours with about 10min of uptime and it has already lost 25% of the battery.
So far today all I have used the phone for is about 20 minutes worth of calls and three text messages. Any other suggestions about what I should check?

List what Apps you have installed, how often you have stuff set to sync, etc.
What are your current awake vs Up times? Are you using it as much as your up time says?
Also, netarchy says
NOTICES: If you are noticing abnormally high battery drain and/or uptime, and you've updated to PRI 1.90, it has come to my attention
that this PRI has been problematic for a number of people, often resulting in large uptimes and/or poor battery life.
This issue affects people regardless of whether or not they are using a custom kernel
Downgrading your PRI and NV to 1.77 has been reported to resolve this issue.

Yep, I like it a LOT. I haven't gotten any FC or problems except with SetCPU but that was because I had set on boot checked. Everything else is phenomenal! It seriously is like SBC without the SBC, netarchy is the man. I'm off the charger for 3 hours today and at 90% after medium-heavy use (GPS, Gmail, etc).
With all the advice you're getting here (cannot necessarily disagree w/ anything altho I've had no problems on PRI 1.90)...once thing to keep in mind. Make sure you give any new kernel you flash 2 to 3 full battery cycles (full charge to dead back to full). You won't get a good idea for how it's working w/out a large enough sample size.

[Q] HTC Evo Battery Problem - Uptime/Awake

I have a really frustrating problem with my HTC Evo.
My battery doesn't even last me 6 hours.
The battery was never great but now it seems to be much much worse.
I can charge the phone to 100% and 20 minutes later it will be at 70% with little to no use.
I checked the battery use list and the display is using the bulk of the battary at 48%.
I don't see any rouge apps that are consuming my battery.
I noticed that the Up time and Awake time are exactly the same. This doesn't seem normal.
The Awake time should be the time the phone is actually in use, right?
I have tried many times to calibrate my battery using the BatteryCalibration app but it doesn't seem to help.
In the Battery Calibration app it lists the current charge at 8% with 3647mV.
The mV amount seems quite high for 8% battery left. Shouldn't the mV be closer to 0?
I am using Scott's CleanRom 1.1
Baseband version: 2.15.00.05.02
Kernel version: 2.635.10-Agressive-Freedom-v0.9+
PRI version: 2.15_003
PRL version: 60686
Any help would be appreciated.
It seems like a wakelock issue. I am not sure how to fix it. There are a few threads about it though. I know you have to enter some commands in terminal emulator and that will fix your problem.

Have you tried flashing different rom? Or different kernel. Some phones don't like certain roms with kernels, try different kernel first because your most definitely have wakelock issue. Try to use amon ra recovery to flash.

Would you recommend I do that or follow this guide?
What other kernels would you recommend I flash to?

You can try to do that, it might work. Just to be honest with you that rom is a bit old. Maybe you can try classic by tommytomatoe or sos by swagstr or team nocturnal rom. Let it run for a day or two. Then if you don't like regular kernel, you can try Calne's kernel or chop suey.

Your battery may need to be replaced. I had the same problem, and bought another battery and my problems subsided.

Battery problems with HTC
I'm also having charge retention problems with my HTC phone, but I thought it might be partly my own fault for using so much tethering. I tried to drain it all the way to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to have done much. Almost no use of the phone today, and it's already dropped a lot. However, I think the more serious symptom is that it doesn't seem to charge above 80% or 90% even on its happiest days.
As regards the usage meter, that's pretty clearly bogus. Right now it shows that the usage was Cell standby (57%), Phone idle (36%), Android System (5%), and Display (2%). Nothing about the apps I briefly used. There are a couple of apps that will sometimes show up, but usually it's just about like that--and useless.
My carrier has offered to replace the battery, but the charge is about the same as breaking the contract two months early--and that is what I am inclined to do. Nor do I forgive my carrier for having dropped HTC phones. They should have checked more carefully before they sold me this dog in the first place. Everything good I credit to Android, but everything bad is HTC. At least that's how I feel about it.
The phone is not that old, but it has always been problematic and HTC has never been helpful. I would start another 'I hate HTC' thread, but that's apparently against the website's policy. I saw one such thread as I was cruising around, and it had a bunch of posts in the few minutes before it was locked. Anyway, a list of all the problems this phone has given me would not be amusing...
Have you tried setcpu with custom profiles, change kernel(check posts for good ones for your rom), when you flash do u wipe battery stats?
