Hey please don't tear my head off, Ive been looking through all the threads that I can, but haven't really found an answer.
So I got my g2 and left it stock for a couple of days and the battery did pretty good, meaning I didn't have to charge it during the day. I then rooted and flashed cm 6.1.1 stable and the battery was terrible it would drop about 1% every 5 min or worse if I was playing a game or using maps etc.
I tried switching to pershoot's cm_2632.28 012211 and it was just as bad. I then tried reverting to a back up of stock and it is still bad, I also tried RC4 and one of the nightlies, same problem. I tried wiping the battery stats with the instructions on cm's wiki, still terrible.
It is really frustrating to me and I have been looking around and it seems a lot of people are having trouble with battery life. I don't really want to buy another battery, and have tried removing anything on my phone that could use battery (widgets, apps, etc.) I also think it's odd that Cell Standby takes up the most battery.
So really what I want to know is does anyone have an idea of something for me to try? A mistake I might have made? Tip? Or am I just crazy in expecting my battery to last the day on stock?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
A lot of people who ran the cm rom seemed to have this problem I don't and I assume it only happened after cm and still occuring I think somethings wrong with cm's kernal idk but it seems like it shorts out the battery because I ran a wrong kernal on my stockrom and had terrible battery life.

The battery truly might be a dud... The fact that your Cell Standby consumes most of the power is probably normal because you said you stripped your phone of widgets, apps, etc.
My gf has a Wildfire and her first battery couldn't last more than a couple hours, and she's a fairly light user. She switched out the battery and now it's fine, goes for a couple days now..
I am running cm 6.1.1 oc to 1.2 I do not have this issue. Try a new battery maybe?
Which kernel are you using? And with what settings?
Kernel is toxygene #1, screen brightness auto, gps off, bluetooth off, Wifi only when I need it, "wcdma only" so I don't get any edge drop-offs, overclocked to 1.2ghz-368mhz screen on, 245mhz screen off. My battery will last 9-12 hours of normal use, that's a few calls, some txting, facebook, mp3s in the car on the drive home from work, and an hour or two of XDA. I unplug at for work at 10am, I let it die and charge from 0 every day..
Google sync every hour, weather widget sync 4 hours, facebook widget every hour. Those are all my widgets.
You should really upgrade to CM7 now. Pretty stable, and my battery life is SO MUCH BETTER. If I use my phone heavily I will lose about 30~40% during the ENTIRE DAY lol. So my battery with moderate usage will easily last 12 hours. Before I had the exact same battery life as yours.
Also, I'm using the UV kernel from pershoot.

I'm on Virtuous v0.9.0 and I routinely get 12-15 hours a day out of my phone. That's with brightness set full, WiFi running (and usually connected), Tweetdeck, gmail, gtalk, etc all running with constant updates, etc.
If I pull it off the charger at 7a, by 7p I'm typically still around 20%, depending on how much extra use I've done (sms, voice calls, etc)
Yes, the newer version of virtuous is great on battery life and doesn't even have to be oc. I just flashed back to cm today to get everything up to date (I'm ocd like that and have to have all my ROMs current) and I too am having the cell standby issue with 70% battery after 2 hrs and light use. Just flashed the newest pershoots and letting it fully charge before I clear batt stats... will report back.
Have setcpu set to lowest with screen off and oc 1.2-346mhz

synchronization
I am using Visionary 0.9.0 and I had lousy battery life too, and have now either turned off background synchronization or at least made it very infrequent for all my apps that use it (facebook, peep/twitter, HTC Sense, HTC Hub, News, Weather, etc. etc.)
This has made a very big difference!
The biggest difference of all came from turning off synch within the HTC Sense and HTC Hub apps. These were having trouble connecting to their servers, and were constantly tying up my 3G signal causing battery drain. This change alone has almost doubled my battery life.
I recommend you check what is using wifi/3G and how much before we assign blame to kernel or ROM.
Also, I can recommend GreenPower app which turns off connectivity automatically when it's not needed, greatly extending battery life. However after a long period of using this successfuly, I have turned it off as I started having trouble "waking" my 3G connection during the day. Hopefully future updates will help with that app.
I had the same problem with my first G2 and after complaining/convincing T-Mobile it was defective, they sent me a replacement and that problem never came up again.
Alright I feel stupid but I was charging my phone with my bluetooth charger (didn't even think about it) but now I'm using the stock charger and my battery is lasting way longer. Night and day difference. I don't exactly understand why this would make such a difference in technical terms but eitherway major facepalm.

I got my Desire in april and ever since I've never managed to get the battery to last more than a day.
I've tried different ROMs (Defrost, OpenDesire with and without Sense, MoDaCo r4, DJDroid, Neophyte, Pays-rom 2.1) but it's always the same: almost no drain in sleep mode but as soon as I turn the screen on and start using it the battery goes down ~20% every hour. I don't believe that's normal since some people get 3-4 days out of their battery.
For example, today my phone has been on for 2½ hours and lost 43% battery with WiFi on, just surfing the net and using Tapatalk.
The screen brightness is fixed at 30%, auto-sync off, bluetooth off, network mode set to WCDMA only and I have good 3G reception where I live.
I have no clue what to do, maybe someone else does?
I have the same life spend for my battery. I think its quite normal for desire. Unless I'm abnormal too : x

You can use setCPU to underclock the processor or to create rules to make it powersaver.
I (as many other people) have one for setting the max/min processor to 245MHz when the screen is off, so it doesnt waste so much battery. I havent tested a lot, since I did it yesterday but the battery is lasting longer.
Also there are different ROMs that have better battery life...

I use JuiceDefender. Just by installing the free app from the market, I've increased my battery by 1.5x what it was originally.
With Ultimate Juice installed, I saw an increase of up to 2.5x.

I've tried it but it's not helping since I'm not syncing anything automatically anyway and the battery isn't drained with screen off.
It's when I start using the phone my battery percentage goes bananas.
And btw I know how you feel, I live in Sweden and we don't have paid apps here. Thank god for MarketAccess.

My Desire was acting like that during my first 2 days of usage. The battery was draining really fast even in standby mode. I installed advanced task killers and after that the battery improved. I do not know if it is because this app or there were some other configurations that I accidentally did...
But the battery life right now is way better than before (even lasts longer than my previous iphone 3gs). Hope this helps =D
I have pretty decent battery life and I use the stock unrooted unmodified rom. Some apps completely obliterate battery life. I used to keep eBuddy open, but I found that it kills my battery faster then anything else.

Hmm, when you say "just surfing the net", you're actually using WiFI + AMOLED + CPU, which are 3 of the biggest battery drains on the device.
IME, you can get days out of the phone, but if you actually have the screen turned on all of the time (i.e. you're actually using the phone), then 20% per hour probably isn't that insane. After all, that's 5 hours of continuous use, which isn't too awful from a modern smart phone.
Honestly, I think the answer might be "Yes, it does that" and "you'll probably need to charge it during the day". I've taken to charging mine on the way to work and back again (about 45 mins each way) and I'm still at 90% at bedtime.
Oh, and forget JuiceDefender. Yes, it makes a difference...but only when the screen is turned off. As soon as you start using it (and that's what you're obviously doing here), it shifts out of the way. Once I realised this, I uninstalled it...never looked back.
Daern
Oh, couple of other notes. Bluetooth doesn't make that much difference unless you're actually using it. 3G uses quite a bit more power compared to 2G. Consider switching to 2G when you're on WiFi. (sadly, no automated way to do this )
i am not using any of these tools.
i have wifi always on 3g on
no live wallpaper and push mail (k-9) with 2 accounts
my battery lasts 1,5-2 days. with phone turned off during the night. 0am till 7am.
i am surfing a lot and writing a lot emails.

Here comes a hint:
Turn off ALL unnecessary widgets like "Bluetooth", "GPS", "WiFi". Turn off also "Mobile"-internet widget, and turn it on only when u want to update some apps or check your mail.
I have noticet that "Mobile"-internet widget drains hell of a lot battery, but if u turn it off now and then u will have ure phone, like I had, for 6 days - with one charge!

Ive had my new HTC desire from 3 UK for a couple days now and although i had read the battery life wasnt great on these things im shocked how bad it is!
For the first couple days the battery was not lasting the day from a full charge in the morning so i decided to try the new leedroid 2.3a on it.
Still no better. The phone does seem smoother with leedroids ROM but from a full charge this morning 8AM to now 2:15PM the battery is already down to 30!! I have not really been messing around with the phone alot, couple of txt and a phone call but thats it.
Any tips on what i can look into to see whats killing my battery so fast?
Had same problem with sense roms untill i swapped to cyanogen mod. Running 6.1 with defrost kernel. Always have above 30% when i put it back on the charger, 15-20 hours. Used alot. Try a aosp rom. Guarantee better battery life.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
How much are you actually using the phone? I'd imagine you're on it quite a bit so of course battery will go down quicker
I also assume you didn't make a note of your original ROM version so you can go back to stock with an RUU if you decide you wanna send it back...
battery sucks...get used to it. sorry.
I've had a desire since may and i can count on one hand how many days my phone has lasted till bed time from a full charge in the morning.
some tips for you
3g kills your battery, 2g and sync on will use less battery than 3g and sync off.
get some power widgets to controll your phone, ie 2g/3g, sync, wifi, brightness, gps and use them wisely.
a bright screen on an amoled desire will kill your battery...turn it down unless you cant see it.
+1 for cyanogenmod
That is not true in all cases. My battery lasts more on 3G compared to Edge,not sure why. I experience frequent overheating as well when on Edge. 3G+WIFI Hotspot tend to last more than 2G+Sync.
I've been using auraxtsense for a while now, with browsing the internet, texting, maybe 20 mins of phonecalls my battery would last around 36 hours on a full charge, however i've gotten into the habbit of charging phones when i go to bed anyway.
I've left it for 3 days before doing nothing on it other than getting the occasional text message on some days off from work.
Hello all,
A few months ago I became a proud owner of a Moto Defy, a great rugged phone that has been working great for me until just last week. For some reason the battery life was cut drastically! So bad that while the screen was off and not touched at all, the battery percentage would go from 100% to 40% in four hours.
what was even worse was when I would connect the charger, the phone would charge completely in less that 1 hour! I didn't seem to matter if I was browsing the web, playing music over the loud speaker, or just leaving it alone, the battery seemed to fall the same.
I began to research online for some answers since I couldn't believe that the battery would just go bad just like that! first I installed a custom recovery that had the option of wiping the battery stats, but that didn't work. then I stumbled across this thread on a battery bug in the android os 2.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039696
Even though the os on this defy is 2.2.1 I thought I was on to something. they talked about an app called watchdog. I also found an app called Battery monitor widget, which allowed me to see the battery usage in milli-amps.
I got concerned when during the day, I noticed a spike in the battery usage that was crazy! the app showed where the usage went from 99ma to 2399ma drain and I lost 8% of the battery in that one minuet! Keep in mind that the battery is only rated at 1500mAh to begin with. With that being said, I was thinking I have a short in the phone! The spike happened again later on that brought my phone to it's knees!
while reading further into the thread, I installed watch dog lite. Immediately after the installation finished, I started getting flagged for an app using over 60% of the cpu while the screen was off! Fancy widget 1.3, I had liked this app so much on my old Moto cliq, I imported it over to my defy.
Maybe I have found the culprit, I donno. This is just my experience so far, if anyone can add to this, please do. I will continue to monitor the phone and the activity of the apps. I am still shocked about the battery drain spikes that I saw! I am still, to my knolage, running the stock rom that came with the defy, now with the addition of Clockwork MOD recovery installed.
i have issues too, in the last week my battery dies in 13-14 hours with normal use. before that, it lasted 24-25 hours with heavy use. i also have sudden pattery percentage drops (which is probably the same as yours, that 8% in one minute). i already tried reflashing sbf/cm7, calibrated battery with cwm and app, nothing seems to work. now i disabled boot oc and use setvsel, and installed battery monitor widget and watchdog lite, maybe those will help :S

Since I installed rc1.5 my battery last for a fairly long time. It droped from 100% to 26% in 23 hours with medium use (data connection always active, when I used it heavily I turned on 3g, I used wifi and I was on a sunny place so the screen was bright)

many have reported battery drain on rc1.5, seems its not present in every case. just installed 110909 nightly, so cant really report on that yet, but ill do as soon as i can.
Im on CM& RC 1.5, my battery last me a long time (more than 30 hours) using a lot of wifi + edge data, and lots of calls and sms, so i guess i dont have the battery drain bug
I've about had it with my EVO 4G. I can barely use the thing before the battery is down to 30% or lower. When I first unplug it in the morning, I'll browse reddit or XDA for all of 5-10 minutes and my battery will go down to 75% easily. I've tried tons of ROMs (running Energy w/Shooter Anthrax kernel as I heard it got amazing battery life) I've tried resetting the battery stats -- i've tried unplugging and replugging in the phone multiple times when the charge light is green, I've tried just about everything I can find on here dealing with battery issues and to no avail! Listed in my battery stats the only thing that's ever high is my Display usage but even factoring that in should I really only be getting an hour or two of mild internet usage before my battery is completely depleted? I can barely make it through a 6 hour work day (checking texts on breaks, light internet, maybe a 5 minute phone call) without having to recharge it in my car.
I'm open to ANY suggestions short of buying a new battery -- sadly it's not an option at the moment.
Do you keep 4G on? That drains a battery like nothing else if left on. Same with GPS, especially in Sense Roms for some reason.

i recommend using a aosp rom if battery life is a MUST. I would suggest you use Decks aosp rom with CoD tweaks Tiamat 3.7.7 and vipermod and underclock to 500 on smartass governor........all this is what you should do if you choose decks rom
Make sure your 4G is off, but Evo is known for its horrible battery but thats ridiculous. Try a new kernal to adjust to CPU settings. If that doesn't work, you might need a new battery. Evos are know for having their battery fried easily, mine fried and I had to get a new battery. :/
You should definitely make sure your 4g, Gps, Wifi, and blue tooth is off. If that does not work I would strongly suggest you downloading Cyanogenmod 7.1. When you aren't using the phone under clock it and do medium speed when you are using it. I last around 8-9 hours doing this. Hope it helps.
Okay I installed Decks Evo GB rom and the Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel. I followed the guides but couldn't seem to do the undervolting correctly with the apps i was provided...but i'll do some testing and report back!
Can someone point me in the direction of the right app for undervolting and whatnot?

vipermod is used for undervolting http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/vipermod-voltage-control/
Also, it could just be that your battery is tired. Is it at all swollen, in the least bit or rock hard? It should feel firm, but give a little.
People tell me all the time, "my battery is not holding a charge", it's not designed to. But, how it releases the charhe, is another story. Obviously, it's also dependant on use. Remember, the phone is only rated at 5 hours talk time. I can't think of a time I've actually tried that, but when I have been caught on the phone for extended periods I've only gotten at most 2 hours of conversation out of a full battery.

my battery doesnt last too bad in my evo. granted not like the old days, but i do get about 12-15 hours on a 1700 mah battery and a powerskin charging case with a built in 1500 mah battery. This is in a poor service area.. constantly switching into and out of roaming. i keep 4g, wifi, mobile network all off and screen brightness at about 25%.. this is with moderate txt, some light game play, occasional turn on 3g to check email and browse web. im expecting better now thzt i am rooted with energy rom and anthrax kernel.
Hey, im on Telus so i dont have any other modes I can switch to to lower the drain. Ive noticed my battery drain is HORRENDOUS
Over the past 4 hours ive dropped 60%!
Now im wondering if im just running too many apps or if my stock battery may not be holding a proper charge anymore, and wanted to compare with others to see if others are running the same amount of apps and getting better battery or what
Ive got the following on:
Trillian (IM app)
K9-mail checking 2 aps
Regular Sync (Twitter, FB, Dropbox, Google(Calendar, Gmail, Contacts)
The battery usage summary seems to lie, 35% is the screen but only 13 minutes. Yet im at 40%
Android System at 20, Cell standby 13, Phone Idle 8
While heading to work, i ran DI Radio(music streaming), and lost 20% over around 35 minutes.
Im using the Tuesday rom with it's default kernel.
Is there anything I can do for better battery, because I dont have wifi in most places, and im running 3-4 bars constantly yet the phone just drains rentelessly. Even my Mugen battery was only lasting 16 hours...
It's quite possible that it's the ROM. I used to always get 8 hours on a single charge, regardless of location or ROM. I'm running Eugene's CM7 and I'm getting 13 hours on the same typical usage.
I'm running on Telus as well, with no wifi at all.
Although I am not running all of your apps, I would still consider myself a moderate to heavy user.

any syncing or usage of the network will take a drain. any usage.
you can always turn on airplane mode and let it sit a few hours and see the drain, that determines whether its network or a ROM/kernel drain.
But yes, using 4G has big battery cost
Battery Life
I will tell you what, I have wasted so many hours playing with different ROM's and what not to find the one with the best battery life. And I will tell you what, the DARKSIDE:IGITAL::WARFARE ROM's out do any other ROM out there. I dunno what it is that thederekjay is doing, but Samsung should get this guy on pay roll because his work is the best.
I'm at hour 8 today on Darkside Digital Warfare, and 70% free from 8am to 4:30pm. I have push corporate email, automatic brightness, friendcaster push, and a slew of accounts and it runs like a champ with amazing battery.
Make sure your phone is going into Deep Sleep as often as possible when screen is off. My phone seems to be extremely picky in regards to which charger it likes and more often than not (even had this happen on the stock charger) the phone refuses to sleep after being charged (even if only for a few seconds...).
Download CPUSpy from the market and after each charge, go to CPUSpy, press menu and Reset Totals (phone cannot enter Deep Sleep during charging so it's important you start fresh after a charge to get accurate sleep time). Turn the screen off for a minute or two and turn it back on. Press menu again and Refresh Totals. In my experience, if the phone is not sleeping at this point - Deep Sleep showing in Unused States - then it will not sleep all day and remain in 384Mhz for hours, killing the battery rather quickly. From then, if I plug the phone in a supported charger (even for a second) and disconnect, Deep Sleep resumes normally. Rebooting always fixes it too.
If, like me, a lot of people also have this problem with the stock charger as well, I bet many are dissatisfied with the battery performance... The phone is supposed to spend the majority of it's time in Deep Sleep. I get this issue with several different chargers and cables and on different ROMS / kernels (including stock... go figure).
Im pretty sure its the signal itself draining it. It uses sleep for at least 40% of the time its on. I use my phone a good amount, but its the fact that if it sits on 4g even with the screen of, its rapidly draining during this time. ive even reset timers and left it sitting for an hour and itll be in sleep but lose 8% over an hour just doing nothing. I still wanna be able to recieve notifications tho so turning off data isnt an option. I will test turning off data anyways to see if the drain stops.
The battery drain is all those persistent internet apps running. That is what you call heavy usage. Trillian and the FB app being the two biggest. Music streaming would be up there as well if you aren't in good signal area. Look at your battery stats and see what your signal strength is.
