As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.
I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/
You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...
Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.
i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..

Is there another non sense rom? I really like stock better...
Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.
update to the last radio
I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.
Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

I may be dumb but how do you force your phone to go into sleep once screen is turned off ?

(using Cyanogenmod 6)
When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)
You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use
Probably not the newest dillema but here goes nothing, since I've read all the posts regarding battery life, almost all comments from custom roms threads about that and so on.
Right now im using MCR r8 w/ addition + a2sd. My apps list running on desire can be found here:
http://www.appbrain.com/user/baadnewz/apps-on-the-phone
Now my problem is that ive tried Pinky Desire, Leedroid, Nextsense, Delite and for the life of me, I barely make it through the day with the battery, like unpluging it @ 8 AM and pluging it @ 11 pm. Same goes for all roms metioned above. Tried with .20 radio and now with the newest version .30.
I must say I do NOT listen music on phone and I don't even use gps. I send 2-3 texts, and max 20 mins of call. I have 1 exchange mail running and 1 gmail account, i have friendstream syncing every 3 hours. I use Wifi and 3g. Im using it on vodafone romania, and since im in the city the gsm signal is good.
I tried using juicedefender, and setcpu with screenoff profile, they seem to make it worst (this is my apreciation, i didnt use any stat program to acctualy verify in % but for me so it seems).
To be honest im sick of hearing ppl "my desire last 4 days with music gps and 10000 mail accounts"
I even followed the battery recalibrate guide posted here on xda .
Anymore tips ?
Thanks, and yes I know this is the n+1 post about battery issues but all ive read the info is one inconclusive, some says they battery lasts 3-4 days on "heavy" usage" some they dont make it through the day (like me)
My desire has 2 mounths old.
For example. Last night arround 1 am i went to sleep and i was having 89% battery, this morning arround 8 i was having 72% left. No wifi on, just 3g data connection with exchange syncing @ 1 hour and gmail app for mail

No, since im a really big fan of sense
I have exactly the same problem as the OP.
I have tried all sense ROMS, it seems the best ROM for me was Opendesire which doesn't use 'sense'.
So far Pays has been rather good, but I don't get more than a day from my phone... I too have tried the calibration setting that was on XDA but to be honest, I'm kinda stuck too as I dont know which ROM to use...
Hi there, had the same problem as you and it didn't matter what rom I tried but still my battery kept draining, til I found out that I had a program that kept monitoring my desire's cpu constantly. Check for program's permissions where it won't let your phone go to sleep. Also check any program that constantly monitors your phone and refreshes every second.

Carlo, do up mean that we can save some battery if we stop that program?
I'm also can't get a full day usage out of my Desire.

I must say I totally agree with you. Changing ROM does not changes battery usage. It just won't last a day. I charged mine twice every single day. With mixed moderate-heavy usage of mostly internet basis.

Again, I totally agree with you. I couldn't believe with the slightest chance ppl could get 2 full days with heavy usage (4 hours of music, 4 hours of wifi, multiple account sync, facebook, few hours of browsing etc). I think they are just trying to bloat up things. (Eventhough they knew it's impossible) (or maybe they completely turned off their handset everytime they dont use the phone)
I also personally don't think a world class and professional company such as HTC will make highly variable units+battery performance for their products. Such as 3-4 days able HTC with half-day able HTC's.
Some ppl always argue that battery performace improve over time after several weeks of charges and discharges. Actually, they don't! Even if they do, the changes between 'just new' and after several weeks were not more than 10% differences. I got a blackberry 9700 and spare Nokia, and the battery last as long as ever started from second or third charges !
Based on my experience you really don't need task killer constantly running in the background, android OS does a good job of killing programs in itself, and task killer sometimes kills programs that need to be running in the background and the OS then restarts the said program which takes up more battery

Right now as I'm typing this I'm at 38% battery running for 1 day 20 hours and counting, by the way I'm using DeLite 1.1 as I really like sense, but as I said, it doesn't matter which rom you use, its the programs that drain your battery

I used to be a sense freak aswell. I soon learned to love AOSP builds, smoother, faster and much better battery life. Do a nandroid backup and then try OpenDesire, CM6 or Defrost (whichever you prefer) just to test the battery life for a day or two.

It seems you have tried most of the tips from the various battery threads. However did you check your running services?(menu/settings/aplications/running services) I seem to remember for instance the skype services uses more than average battery.
Also, initially my battery life on leedroid wasn't great, untill i complete drained the battery, wiped battery stats and ever since then easily 36 to 40 hours connected to 3G, way more connected to 2G.
Also, check the mV value when your battery is charged, 100% isn't always the same. You can check this with spareparts, included in leedroid. Another thing i just remembered, people seem to recommend the overcharged application to check the mV value. On my phone that application actually seemed to drain the battery much quicker.
last tip for now, if you want to connect to 3G network set your phone to connect ONLY to 3g, NOT automatic 2g/3g.

some personal experience, I have stop using the little green thing, Advanced Task Killer Pro for 3 days. i realized my battery last more than slightly longer.
When i was using ATK, especially after waken from 8 hours sleep 20%-30% gone during idle. now without the ATK, these 3 days after i have waken only 5% gone during idle.
This seems strange.Yesterday after upgrading to gingerbread ( with the RUU because the OTA didn't work for me) I got a huge battery drain.Over the night I got a loose of 40% and now only 3 hours after unplugged and lost 20%.
I only took a few pictures and a phone call.
Only few apps installed since i got this rom since only yesterday.
Anybody experienced this and is there a fix?
Hello,
I can confirm this.
I have also a high battery drain with ALL Android 2.3.* ROMs.
I use the recommend Radio for each ROM and I've checked the RIL to be sure the Radio is correct. But doesn't matter, current in StandBy is between 30 and 50mA.
Only if I turn off WLAN and Mobile Intenet, then I have normal values between 3 and 5mA.
With FroYo I can leave WLAN and Mobile Internet enabled and I had 3-5mA in StandBy
It could not be an application, because I've tried this with a fresh install without Google account to avoid the installation of external apps.

you'd have to edit the build.prop and change the rescan time from 15 seconds to 30, 60, 90 or 120 (or whatever you perfer the rescan intercal to be at)

Try resetting the battery stats by doing the whole charge, lead out, charge, turn off, charge etc. thing.
Also, whilst not a stock RUU I did find it took a few days for the battery drain to calm down a bit. First instal lowest was around 50mA but adfter a fe days it went down to 4-5mA.

What does that value do?
Is that the rescan value of WLAN?
The current stays high even if WLAN is off and mobile internet is on.
Only if both are disabled I get a low StandBy current.

After a few days? How many days do you mean? 2, 3, 4, 5 days?

But why this problem does not exist on froyo?

Unknown. It's not 100% due to GingerBread as I've only seen a handful of people complain of this issue (relatively speaking). I see more people saying how much better their battery life is after the update than saying it's poorer.
Doesn't help I know but makes me believe that this is maybe a Network / Radio issue in that the new Radio with GB does not play well with the Network. We had this a few times on the HTC Hero.
Ok...i have airplane mode on for about 2 days.in those 2 days i almost didn't use the phone and got only a 7% lose.As soon as i used the camera(recorded around 15 min) it got down to 50% .
I will test it tonight widought airplane mode on and see the resoults.Also wifi seems to a lot of battery in comparance to froyo.

I haven't noticed these problems with CM7. I got 2.5-3 hours per 1% of drain in standby using juice defender.
If you are finding that turning off data etc is fixing the problem use juice defender. Even the free version will help a lot as it will stop your phone using data willynilly and instead turn it to a periodic sync. With the paid version you can have it stop all together during certain periods or increase doing certain periods. Aka stoping at night and extra during busy hours at work.
Should be a good fix, though it is only covering up the underlying problem still.
Can't really recommend the app enough. With it my phone only uses data when I tell it to (like opening facebook app) or periodicaly to sync and check emails etc. I do use the paid version though for the extra features.
totally agree. i have been using juice defender for about a week. its been a big help. just bought the ultimate a few min ago. going to start customizing.
sorry that i dont have any data yet to back up my statement. maybe in a future post.

im using Leedroid 3.0.3 and i dont get any such battery drain..
tbh im getting a better battery life from GB than from froyo..
on standby currentwidget shows me between 4-7ma with wifi on... with a peak once in a while..and i lose abt 1 to 1.5% per hour
with wifi off i get about 3-5ma..
i dont use mobile data much so cant really comment on that..
try calibrating your battery and try changing the scan interval in the build.prop... i normally keep it at 90...
i never used any battery saving apps, so cant comment on their performance either...
go to wifi advanced settings and untick Best Wifi Performance... that also helps a lot!
hope you get your problem sorted
Thank you all for the help
The issue was not with gingerbread...I just left my phone one night with wifi turned on and lost 40%.But still when I was on Froyo wifi wouldn't loose so much battery.Now I loose almost 2-3% every 15 min if surfing the web with wifi.
And about changing the scan interval in the build.prop...How can I do that?Do I need root?
I'm also having battery problems, but mine are a little bit different, if I'm on wifi it uses between 3 to 5% with a peak now and then. if wifi is off and I'm on 3g, it's between 5 and 500 ma and you see only peaks if you check currentwidget. anyone a clue? working on ARHD 5.1.6 now, but problem was there since version 3
I have battery problems also, my battery dries after 1 day of use. For example this morning, I unplugged my phone full from the charger at 10 am. I went into town, listened to about 20 minutes of FM radio. When i stopped the radio, I still had 98% left of the battery. OK so far. After, I talked for about 5 minutes, sent 4 messages and played for about 15 minutes. I arrived home at 2 pm with 75% of battery left. That is 25% in 4 hours.
I was on 3G, but with Mobile network off. BT, WIFI, GPS off. A few days ago, I tried running the Battery Calibration app, but seen no improvements so far. My phone is routed, 2.3.3 and has Android Revolution HD 5.0 RC1 ROM .
I expected the battery not to last for long, but this is ridiculous.
Help me, please!
I don't know if that will help, but I sometimes switch to 2G networks as HSDPA is using quite a lot the battery.
I have a DHD running 2.3.3, and it's definitely the mobile standby bit which is first in the battery use screen (33%). It was true before 2.3xx but now it's a bit more - annoying in other words.
I have to admit, having to switch to 2G networks is a bit of a pain in the *ss, so I'll check if juice defender give me some good results tomorrow and will post a feedback there.
Maybe try AR 5.1.6. + he recommended radio. It works wonders. the battery life is improved a lot...
malik
Juice Defender works very well - with basic settings I still have 35-40% of battery by 7pm.
furstrated with the battery life...
hey guys,
so this is my first post and all i've done up until now was to read... i'm afraid not real solution has come up.
i have:
Leedroid 3.1.2 with the recommended radio and i ran the script for Full Wipe 1.5 and cleared the battery stats, i did a fresh install and then didnt restore from backup - just installed everything from scratch. i hoped it would be ok, but when i woke up to check the current widget log, i saw that in the middle of the night he climbed to 150mA and stayed there draining about a 1% of battery in 3-4 minutes (!!!)
what can i do? 'where is my droid power' shows only HTC Sense at about 3.8%
please please help... thanks!
Hi,
i have changed from stock to Revolution HD today, because the dialer of the stock rom (since the GB update) drains my battery up to 50%.
But the problem is not fixed with Rev HD. My Dialer is still the top 1.
Is it possible to fix this bug in the same way as the cyanogen rom has fixed it?
Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929054
And here the changeset:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,3904
Or is this option available in Rev HD?
Home Screen > Menu > Settings > Call Settings> Turn over silence
I could not find it in the specified settings.
I have no apps installed. It is a fresh image of Rev HD.
I have read the linked battery threads too, but i think it looks like the same problem as in the CM7 rom.
Many thanks.
Kase
edit: I am using it on the Desire HD
There's been some discussion around this and in my opinion (which means it could well be wrong) it's not an actual issue.
I don't experience any more battery drain when Dialler is listed than when it isn't, and the details for Dialler in the list typically show it as only being awake for a couple of seconds over a full day.
Personally I think either HTC (or google or whoever) have combined several system processes and listed them together as "Dialler" making it show higher up the list, or it's a bug in how they calculate battery use in Gingerbread.
It might well be that it's continually using the sensor as was presumed in cm7 but I would expect to see more evidence of reduced battery life that were the case.
As I say, I might be wrong

Hi hopscotchjunkie,
thx 4 your reply.
I am very sure that it really drains the battery. I have tested it a few times with the stock GB rom.
If i reboot my phone and never do a phone call, the dialer is not in the list. My battery time increases from 2 days to at least 3 days on low usage (only 3g on, but auto sync off). With Froyo, i always had up to 2.5 days (and no dialer problem).
Maybe you can test it too (i know it is hard to reach 2 or more days without phone call )?
I will install CM7 the next weeks (if i have some free time), and test the battery usage with this rom. But comparing 2 completely different roms is very inaccurate i think. But i will give it a try anyway.
I know whilst the problem may sound related but just to be on the safe side of things, ensure that you have the recommended Radio and the compatible RIL installed on the phone. The Radio and the RIL will vary depending on the ROM that you use, and as far as I know both AR and CM7 all have listed their recommended Radio. The RIL you will have to match depending on the version of the Radio. Both Radio and RIL library is avaliable in this forum.
As others have mentioned possible bug, once the phone has been fully charged, go into CWM and clear the Battery Statistics. This will allow a sort of "restart" for the battery life articulation.
I am using CM7 (with custom kernel) and generally speaking, from what you have described, I havent had such issues before with either ROMs, although the last AR I used was prior to the 2.3 releases but have since been with CM7, noticably higher benchmarks, possibly better battery life, but definitely free up more RAM, which I suppose = better battery life?
Try This!

Wow, you battery is a beast if it can last up to three days, no matter how little you use the device. Back to the topic, it may be worth backing up your settings and try a factory reset, although you probably did in first place when you installed Revo HD. You may want to look at uninstalling Sense dialer and get a replacement and see how it goes. There are a few good ones out there.
I hope it helps.
Hi all, thanks for your replies!!!
I have done some tests now with the AR 5.19 ROM.
If i reboot my device and do not start the dialer, the phone drains my battery 15% in 10 hours. No usage, only 3g on with whatsapp and icq, but no messages written at all. I have tested it many times with different battery charge levels, its always about 15%.
=> Battery usage: 50% phone standby, 50% phone inactive (i dont know the exact english words).
If i reboot my phone, start the dialer, but still no usage, same conditions, the phone drains the battery about 30% in 10 hours. Also tested many times with different battery charge levels.
=> Battery usage: 50% dialer, 25% phone standy, 25% phone inactive.
With the dialer, my battery is <10% after 2 days of low usage. If i reboot the phone and never start it, my battery is ~40% after 2 days, same usage.
I am very sure, the dialer drains the battery with the exact amount displayed in the battery stats. It matches 100% for me.
@0semaj0: I use the recommend RIL and Radio for AR 5.1.9, i have done a full wipe before and cleared my battery stats.
@HeiDuDer: I also tested this, deactivating the 3 options you have described does not change anything, the dialer is still in my battery stats after i used it at least once. Even after reboot.
@fdelosriossanchez: I will give it a try. If i use the nosense script, do i have the stock dialer??? Maybe i will test AR 5.1.9 with nosense.
I will post an update in a few days. Thanks to all!

Bumping this with my own observations, deactivating the 3 options doesen't have an effect on the battery life, and the battery drains far faster after a reboot if I make a single phonecall to start the proximity sensor polling bug
Hi there,
Recently I got a secondhand HTC wildfire buzz and the original battery had a remarkable short life. After + / - 6 hours was empty.... without touching the phone!.
I replaced the battery by a new one with slightly higher capacity (1500mah) but after approx. 7 hours this one is empty too!....without using the phone, I mean the phone was closed with the on off button, not used and checked after 7 hours
I can not imagine that this is normal and I'm wondering what can be the cause of this problem?
Specs:
Android 2.2.1
kernel 2.6.32.21
Build number 2.22.405.8
- Phone was connected to my local wifi
- Only app in background was What's app (didn't send or recieved messages)
- Killed rest of apps with "App Killer"
- Noticed a few processes with the app "OS monitor" and the process "Android-system" used between 8-20% CPU. And the process "System" about 2% CPU
I can not imagine that this is normal and I'm wondering what can be the cause of this problem?
Kind regards,
thats strange.

you dont gave proper description. well yiu are new so i consider you don't know about rooting process and your phone is not rooted.
first of all install wakelock app check from playstore. i will give you a hint wats eating your battery. well on froyo 2.2. plenty of battery monitors are avaliable. at last and the best follow some rooting guides in wildfire fourms. they are sometimes confusing for new users . well follow a method to install recovery and get rooted. install a new rom and recalibrate your battery. its a file that somtime help users .
at last if you dont want to root. simply erase everything and reinstall everything. but i suggest you to get rooted and soff. because froyo users now can not download anything from playstore. google has dropped support of froyo...

I dont think that root is the answer here, also wiping battery stats from recovery does nothing except delete a batterystats file from the rom. no actual calibration happens. no need to rush off into s-off without a real need for it

To be honest with you friend it could be many things. ive seen many wildfires over the years that had massive battery drains just because they were old, with new batterys not really helping much. your device being on wifi is probably keeping it awake and not allowing for a deep sleep (which conserves more battery) if you go into wifi/advanced settings i think there is a option to have wifi always on during sleep. if that is ticked, then untick it and see if you gain any performance boosts. its also possible that your 3rd party battery may claim to be 1500 but it could be much lower. trusted brands are safer bets in these fields. also consider how you charge your battery, if you charge it excessively (much more that it needs, ie charged overnight while you sleep) then you could be causing permanent wear onto the battery.
as a last resort you could flash an android kernel that supports underclocking your cpu, that would increase your battery life but at the cost of performance. like the above user said try to install wakelock app and see if it pops up with anything useful but i don think it will
thanks
Thank you guys for the answers.
@sachoosaini
I did a successfull ROM flash on a HTC Prophet (QTEK S200) but that was a while ago.
@heavy_metal_man
I agree with you that it's hard to find the cause only with these info. Hard/software are very complex today. Yesterday I completely switched off Wifi but the results where the same.
I've noticed that the phone gets pretty warm while charging so perhaps that's the cause. I charging with a 5V 1.3 A usb charger.
Anyway, I'll try wakelock app to get some more info
Kind regards
