After I installed MIUI-au 0.12.111 R2(first time installing it) I Got really bad Battery life. With the stock rom on my HTC Desire I would go 3 days before charging it(light use), now i can only get 1 day, I have looked around and did everything I could find, I reset the battery stats. made sure I let it die and charged it up fully a few times. I have tried the new version of the Radio and RIL. I have tried setcpu and I can only get 1 day with it. I love miui but I can not keep it with such bad battery life. am I expecting too much from it? or is there something i am missing/ can try?
Thanks
Anyone else have this problem? IT seems to be wasting. Battery while idle

Im currently running the same rom as you... i'll see what battery life is like with mine over time, but so far so good.

What version of the Radio and RIL are you using?
Not flashed RIL as the matching RIL for the recommended Radio (5.09.05.30) is already in the MIUI ROM, stock out of the box.So yes, I am currently using radio 5.09.05.30 (MIUI recommended) which has given me excellent battery life, even with FroYo roms. I have not experienced any Wi-Fi issues either.
EDIT: The information in this link may also interest you as it talks about different radio versions and associated RIL, and the effect they can have on battery life especially: http://www.miui-au.com/faq/radios-radios-radios/
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks I will try downgrading my radio and see what happens.
To further save battery life, i.e. when idle at night, you can also try enabling Airplane mode at night and disable in the morning. There are apps in the marketplace that can do this for you automatically between set periods so you don't have to bother doing it manually.

Thanks for the help, but it still had very poor life about 6% per hr idle so I went back to the stock rom. Is it possible to install app2sd+ on the stock Rom or can you recommend a close to stock Rom with that and maybe a few other small changes?

hi guys
i have tried various methods and i am using a new battery on rcmix3d on leedroid's kernel.
BT,WIFI is off. Data is on 3g 24 hours.
My battery drains 1% every minute when data is on even though its not polling for any syncing or data.
my sync is set to once a day for emails and manual for the rest.
i have also done a battery calibration and still no joy.
any tips?
Download current widget, and set it to log your current drain while idling. Sense rom should be around 1ma-3ma idle.
thanks..
actually my its ard 1ma to 4ma idle.
this is when juicedefender disables the data.
but the moment data kicks in, its spikes to a max of 280ma and the battery starts draining. i can actually see it dropping per minute. the moment data is off. everything is as per normal.
does 3g really consume that much of batt?
No it doesn't use that much at all. Did u do a full wipe with install of rcmix?
Do you have any apps installed that may drain battery. Try using a task killer to close all apps and see how it goes.
Just to be sure have u tried turning off mobile data and checking battery with it off. The maybe new radio may help
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
other than 2 camera apps,ebay,paypal, foursquare and facebook, i have nothing else.
and notifications has been turned off for all the above.
i tried task killers and they really didnt help much.
i did do a full wipe and battery does last way much longer with data off.
i'm also using the latest m2 radio and underclocked the cpu via setcpu
an advise on which radio would be better?
Go with the radio suggested in the thread for your rom. If none suggested just grab something different to what your using and try it out.
You shouldn't need to UV the CPU. Mine runs at 1.4 no problem. Let me know how I get on.

Just realised your using a new battery too. The have u tried your old one just incase its a battery problem.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
yeah..the old battery was replaced with a new one by HTC service centres.
i was just reading the radio thread and decided to flash the corresponding RIL for my radio.
i'll try that for a day and see how that works out.
thank you so much for your help and i'll keep you posted
you problem is radio related.
flash the suggested radio of your rom.
had the same problem a few days back. 150-250mA idle, when i deactivated my data connection, it went down zo 1-4mA again.
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
I had the same problem, 4 hours of sleep would sometimes see 20% disappear. New radio and kernel did the trick.

Keep in mind, cell reception is also a varible factors in regards to battery life, but with the situation as precribed it is more than likely to be radio/RIL selection. Also remember that the newest versions of radio and RIL may not always offer the best reception and/or battery efficiency, ideally use the one as recommended by the ROM/Kernel. You may also consider searching the forum for see the recommended versions of radio and RIL to match.
During new flashes of the ROM, under CWM, you can also delete battery stats which should allow a more accurate report of the battery.
Hope it helps.
thanks for all the info guys
i guess its probably a radio/ril issue.
i'm testing out various ones right now.
anyone using rcmix3d 2.0 got a recommendation for radio/ril combo?

Download Android System Info from the Market. Look out for anything that is using an excessive amount of processing power.
After that, you can see if it is the radio.

batt stats bring me to the default batt stats that is in the android system
Hi wildfire users,
my girlfriend got her wildfire yesterday.
The first thing I've fine, was to root it and check the standby battery drain.
It was between 27 and 50ma in AIRPLANE mode, without sometimes at 120??
My device got 1-2 in airplane and 3-5 without.
Thought it would getting better after flashing cm7, took the rc1...not really.
Any suggestions? Iam an experienced android user, but my options are running out, what else I can do.
What I've done:
Checked drain with current widget,
checked partial wakelocks with spare parts-seems okay.
Uninstalled all custom user apps I had installed.
Read here, that reflashing the radio fixes some issues...didn't tried that yet.
Any other ideas?
What drainages do you've got?
Waiting for your answers.
Edit: perhaps it will help to let it charge it to 100% and check again...maybe let it also discharge one time ^^.¿?
....think i was perhaps a bit over motivated...

Battety drain will be above normal just after flashing a ROM. You need to make a full charge and then go to recovery and wipe the battery status.
Then do few complete charge-discharge cycles. Then it will be definitely better than stock rom. And use CPU settings in smart way. Work on the minimum setting and governor. Also depends on other factors like live wallpapers etc..,

Battery calibration gives accurate reading only, it will not improve the weared out battery.
When shifting between roms, the battery will not give accurate reading because not all roms utilize the battery in the same manner (Rom saves the details in batterystats.bin file). So, what if it gives wrong reading. There might be a possibility that it shows 100% even when not fully charged. So we think battery drains faster, but the fact is we haven't charged it fully. (correct me for any errors).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes showing 100% wrongly must be the only situation where battery calibration be blamed. But 8-10 hrs of charging from deep-down-zero should definitely make it full, right ?
Whats your general time taken for charging in standby mode (WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth Off).
I am experiencing heavy battery drain with WiFi, since I installed Sunabh ROM. (He adds a switch off wifi notification to hide this fault. Cunning.)
Any solutions ? May be re-flash the radio or change the kernel ?
Dude, attack the CID bug.
I resolved my issue without even switching of my phone once, let alone flashing anything.
Running for more than 2 days now. \m/
hey guys just downloaded this rom and its totally amazing i have to say, my battery drains at -100MA, dont know why so was wondering, memonic has mentioned to flash a certain radio but i have
baseband version 12.28B.60.140EU_26.03.02.26_M
i seem to have a good o2 signal here in the uk, all seems to be working well, should i still flash the radio, could battery drain be because of the radio, ill follow his 100% battery life guide after i get a reply from here, just to know whether the radio could be a culprit....oh i have the t version of the rom, just transfered from android revolution HD and battery life was amazing with that one....oh and guys was trying to find it in one of the search forums, im sure i read it somewhere on how to update the market in the t version if u want to since this ones a little old and i kinda like the new one...is there a way to do this...
By the way, thankyou develepor for the ROM, its brilliant
I got latest radio and I'm on o2 uk. Battery life and signal are pretty good but check what is draining your battery first

thing is since its a fresh rom install, i havent restored any of my apps as yet but the battery drain goes up to 263 MA when im using the rom, and i lose 1 prcent every 10 minutes or so, is this normal while using a phone, just going through some apps, but while sleeping its down to 2 MA....just wanted to know whether it was normal, or could the high usage whilst using be because of not flashing the radio memnoc has mentioned....ive just erased the battery stats, going to let the battery drain and charge it till 0ma just to see what its like after, did follow the

im sure it cant be i flashed the rom bad, used the same method many times when i flash a new rom, make sure i wipe and format everything, android revolution hd battery was just utter amazing so radio was fine for that, but this rom dont know whats went wrong, im guessing it couldnt be this bad since others have it too and there happy with it, hardly anyone complaining of bad battery life
I have the same issue and followed all the instructions including the battery drain threads.
I also get random crashes where the phone goes to the black HTC quietly brilliant boot screen and then just loops. Need to do a battery pull to recover.
Any ideas why it does this.
I really like the ROM and Sense 3.5 but the crashes and massive battery use when doing things are an issue. Don't want to go back to Revolution HD ROM as its on Sense 3.0.
Any help / advice most welcome.

Not possible that you followed all the steps provided in battery guides and you still get battery drains. It is possible that there can be your radio which is draining the battery (draining doesn't mean battery going down by 10% every hour or so).
I would say that you look at the apps running, if you're getting constant crashes then that means you didn't do full wipe and wiped dalvic cache/cache when changing roms...
here is another guide to check whether you're getting battery drains and some tops on how to increase battery life. There's another thread similar to this one which is good as well. Tell you what, do what i told you about doing full wipe, erase dalvic cache + cache and then try to do a fresh install of whatever rom you're using. Also search for how to flash radio and get the latest radio. That SHOULD sold your issues. If it still doesn't then you'll have to get a bigger battery
Hi,
Just rooted my DHD few days ago and flashed ARHD 6.3.1 and BlueHD theme and everything works great other then a few dropped calls and a MASSIVE battery drain. Anyone know if there is a way to fix this a bit? Even on standby it drains about 2% every hour.
Thanx
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It could be a few things, 1) You didn't wipe properly when installing the rom, could be the source of your dropped calls 2) one application is draining your battery, check in settings - about phone - battery 3) you may need to calibrate your battery, you could check out "current widget" from the market and "batterycalibration".
Also, if you have flashed BlueHD for RCMix Runny 4.x rather than BlueHD for ARHD 6.3.x that could cause major issues.
No I flashed the one for ARHD I'm sure of it. I keep bookmarks about things I install. I'll try those you suggested. Thanx a lot.

I think you should do what everyone else just said, there's probably an app that's draining your battery. Try downloading battery calibration app from the market. It helps. Or use juice defender
Charged and calibrated. Memory usage is ok now (150 before, about 200 free now). Going to see what happens over the night.

Ok so it went a bit better over the night, spent about 7%, but this is with auto sync disabled, bg data disabled, screen dim to 25% etc, so still a huge waste. Just lost 1% typing this. Anyone have any other ideas before I flash ARHD again?

What you mean with RIL?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
there is no recommendation for RADIO ... what works for me might just be bad for you!
so - RADIO is the file you flash using ADB , and RIL(radio libraries) is the zip file you flash with CWM just like a ROM .
So search a thread with RADIO and RIL and change it!

I went from Rcmix3D to BlackIce 1.27 (Cm7 based Rom) and my battery sucked. I switched my radio from 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M to 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M that seems to of fixed my battery problems.
Also some things that worked for me:
1) Switching to 2G when not heavily using your phone to increase standby time
2) Use spare parts to switch 'End button behaviour' to 'Go to sleep'.
3) Keep your brightness low/Auto
4) Try a different kernel (LordModUE latest CFS/BFS)
Hope some of these settings help
mad battery drain
I had a similar problem when I first got my DHD there's a bug on one fw that jams the CPU at 100%, the simple fix that worked for me was to turn USB debugging on in the setting/applications/development menu. I think that's the only thing that could explain such mad battery loss, also get urself a system analyser app that shows what ur CPU is doing to c if it is at 100%

You should flash any ROM you like then reboot. don't restore any apps or settings. install current widget and do a log for at least 2 hours. Leave the phone in idle the whole time. Battery drain shouldn't be higher than 10mA. If battery drain is Ok start restoring your apps one by one and find out which causes the battery drain
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It drains on a fresh flashed rom , without restoring any apps
maybe try to flash a RUU just to make sure. I know you will lose root permissions but since you have tried different radios, batteries and roms there isnt that much left for you to try. the only things that comes to my mind is a hardware failure. what else could it be!? if you still have guarantee, i would recommend you sending it to reparation.
Well i have ordered a new high capacity (2430 mah) battery and if that does not fix the problem i will just live with it till the new sony xperia s is launched and go and buy that
