I'm running ef02plus. My epic will sometimes go out to lala land and reboot or just become unresponsive. Sometimes the battery will drain within 5-10 minutes. It has always been a little unstable no matter what rom or radio I had installed.
I opened a shell window to find out where the space was being used and found that in /data/data/log (I believe if I remember correctly) there was about 200mb of what appeared to be core dumps from apps and system processes. I removed the files and resolved the problem for now.
Is this common? Think I should go back to stock and do a switch out? It's been annoying but I've put up with it until now.
Why don't u go to a newer gingerbread rom ef02 is way outdated

Hmmm...I'm just one leak away from current. I didn't see much in the way of improvements?
I froze DRM launcher with mytoolbox and turned off auto sync. I've read a few posts that low signal areas can cause the battery to get hot when sync is turned on. Will try that for a few days and see how it performs. Battery life already seems better.

EG22 is much more stable than EF02. Those reboots and lockups that you speak of occured constantly for me on EF02. I have been on EG22 since the day it came out and I have not had a single lockup, force close or reboot.
I have a brand-new stock HTC battery although I have never let it completely discharge from when I got it replaced. I've been using Battery Monitor Widget's Calibration setting to calibrate the battery. Still getting bad battery life and awake time is almost equivalent with uptime...with the screen off. Running MIKG2.59 with ChopSuey9.2.7. Any Ideas?
Well u could do is try a different kernel and see if that works. Also I see that to me your times are fine. Just don't constantly keep ur screen on and youll see that after a while, times between the two would be much different. Try and see if those options work for you. If none of those work, there is a posting about this issue. Just click in the search box and it will come up. Hope that helps.

Thats the thing about it is the screen was off. I drained it to 0% and it is back to full charge and calibrated again. I still get the awake and uptime as being the same. I would expect the awake time to stop incrementing once the screen turns off and the phone is idle. I'll flash a different kernel and see if that does the trick. Does anyone know where to get the poonsense kernel? it won't download in kernel manager pro.

I did have it on my phone. But I don't think I have it anymore. But let me double check and see if I can upload it once I find it. I know I seen the the kernel in another forum in the Evolvedroms section. Check in there unless someone can upload it for ya before me.

There's no wake lock there. Just charge your phone all the way, calibrate battery, let it die, then charge all the way again. Your stats look normal to me.

If nothing seems to work, try reflashing your kernel(wipe dalvik and cache before flashing) or reflash Rom. Wipe stats as usual.

Easiest fix is Factory data reset and set your phone back up. If you can get to Titanium Backup you could just try to wipe data in Google Framework Services.

Also if you are going to leave your screen on like that make sure your brightness is down. The biggest drain on our phones is the display.

Get betterbatterystats from the following thread and see if some process is running or trying to sync that is killing your battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download that app. I have not seen it change anything. I watch my stock battery and it drops a whole % in 4 mins. And my extend battery drops a % ever 40 mins. That is with no wifi,gaming, browser or music or anything. I need help.

I think you misunderstood... the app doesn't help with battery life... it is a tool to help you pin down an app that could be running in the background and syncing data and killing your battery... just installing the app doesn't help you have to check process and wakelocks and determine what the offending app is...

Yeah, what Flast said it's a tool to find out what is using your battery but from what you posted it looks like your stock battery is bad. Your extended battery appears fine.
yea i did not read the app. thanks. do you think my problem has anything to do with the new problem i am having. when i have my phone on wifi it will keep jumping on and of.. reset the router and everything is fine just my phone.

The battery issue should be unrelated. Try assigning a static IP to your phone's connection. That is the only way mine will always connect.

Well, I thought the battery life on my T989D (Canadian version) would be better after installing a ROM (Darkside EVO3, Venom ROM) but after about an hour of usage (phone calls, texting, no video, no WiFi, no GPS).
I replaced it with a new battery and still it's bad.
Could it be a defective unit?
Ideas anyone?

Is this your first flash? Ive have flashed plenty of times, battery life, no matter what ROM, cannot be judged the first, second or third day of usage. Give it five days, and report back. When I used darkside, I was getting 30 hours, with moderate use. Give it time, use your battery till it dies, and charge it fully while off. You will see a difference.
On my fourth day, but I just had to reinstall the ROM..
Now I'm using my carriers ROM, done by Derek Jay.
Hopefully it had something to do with it, not sure.
But I have read that ics and the t989 were having problems.

Koooba, i just posted in another thread about battery issues, check it out here. I been running Derek's Roms since Digital Warfare and never any really issues with his Rom. i would suggest to calibrate the battery, turn off sync on all apps (Facebook is one of the worst) and keep brightness down to a 20% or whatever is comfortable for you. No joke, i get 17 hrs avg on his roms. People been known to get 24hrs+ on his roms and those are the TMo version...Telus is suppose to have be even better.

one of the ways these guys are getting such good battery life is by turning off data. that's a huge one.
btw - i'm on a D as well, and I get consistently just under 3 hours screen on time, and i charge every night. usually end with about 15% left.
it could be due to the horrible signal in some of my university buildings... or the fact that i just leave wifi on all day. but I haven't really been able to crack that barrier.
it will always take about a week for your kernel and phone to settle down.

Very light usage, 1 call that lasted 30 seconds.
Bluetooth off

Sync off
Wifi on-used when needed

How bad is this?
Still under warranty, very seriously considering sending it in.

Most battery drains are from apps constantly running in the background. Use better battery stats and gsam battery monitor and I guarantee after a day of usage, you will track down what is killing it. Widgets, auto syncing of apps and Google are the biggest culprits of battery drain.

Well, after installing GSAM and checking off the option to prolong battery life in the default settings, the battery is a bit better, but not great.
When you turn off data, do you guys turn off ALL data?
Because I have every possible option off...
syncing, GPS, bluetooth, the only data I have on is the basic network data I would think I need to receive text msgs.

Yeah I got all that off when I don't use it. If I get no signal, I put it on airplane mode. I found even if you turn off data and you are in a building with poor signal or none it kills it, even with data off. Do you use any third party apps for text, phone or anything. What launcher do you use? Facebook on manual sync, emails too?
What does app sucker say is draining?

That's crazy then, because I'm LUCKY if I can squeeze out 5-6 hours and I turn off EVERYTHING.
I even frosted GTalk through Titanium, I don't have use Facebook, so I disable that app altogether.
Something definitely has to be wrong with my phone then.
I got the battery replaced for a new one, so dunno what's going on.
Just checked out your post, not sure what badass to governor setting is...?
I just installed the Venom Kernel over the Derek's Evo updated ROM.
All syncing is off, GPS is off as well.
Has to be an issue with my phone and ICS, because it originally came with Gingerbread.
Help. For the past couple weeks, my batterys been complete ****. When I'm using my phone while charging, the battery life is draining. Also charging is super slow. Auto data sync is off, GPS,Bluetooth off, brightness in the middle, light apps. Idk what's wrong. Before, battery would last the whole day, but now id get lucky to even last half the xay. All this started to happen when I installed a 4.2.2 ROM and Odin back to 4.1.1 and restore backup. Idkkk. Oh and I also noticed the battery bar indicator is displaying it wrong. Like its at 49%, but the battery bar is filled 3/4th.

Open a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /data/system and find the file "batterystats.bin"
delete that file. (be sure to change the attributes of the file to read & write - by default it's read only)
The phone will recreate it automatically on next boot.
By doing this the battery bars in the statusbar will reflect the battery condition a lot more accurately.
Also by using the AC wall charger instead of the computer's usb will charge the phone 20% faster.
Good Luck!
Uhhh...I think you answered your own question...problem started when you installed new ROM. Ftlog people just stop rooting your phones and live with factory stock ROM. 99% of all complaints on this forum are due to custom ROMS.

You're funny.
@Chris, from my understanding and personal experience of using custom ROMs the only way that a major problem could occur when moving from custom back to stock (or modified stock) is if either (a) there is an issue with the download itself; or (b) if the person didn't do a wipe (full or dalvik cache) during the install process; or (c) the ROM installed is not built for the person's phone. So don't paint all ROMs with the same brush.
