Dramastic drop in battery only when screen on?

Ok so today I noticed I had my phone on but screen off for about 6 hours only dropped about 15 percent. But then I used my phone for about an hour surfing/texting/XDA and it dropped almost 20% in just an hour? Idk this could be normal just seems like a lot for just an hour. How much do you guys lose with an hour of the screen on?
Also I do have setcpu to the lowest setting when screen off, but even when its screens on its not overclocked and is set to conservative. And I'm running miui..

I would turn off set cpu and let it stablize and check.

Well of course you are going to use up more battery when you are actually using the phone than when it's just sitting idle.
Think of it this way..... if your car is just sitting and idling, it barely uses any gas. If you are driving, it uses more gas.

What build of MIUI are you running? There is no reason why you should lose 15% in 6 hours if the phone is just idle. I'm on 1.1.28 with the prepackaged kernel, not using any screen off profiles with setCPU and mine loses 0-1% over the course of say 8 hours if the phone is not used.

I'm on 1.14 I was going to update to 1.24 bc they just released the front camera fix.. It has the Savage sbc kernal on it I think. So do u think if i update to 1.24 it'll help? I don't really want 1.28 bc u lose theme manager.. thanks

It's worth a shot, just make sure to do a full wipe, run calk's format all script before flashing. I'm skipping 1.2.4, probably going to wait for a significant release before I update, 1.1.28 has been the best of all of them for me. And my theme manager works just fine with 1.1.28.

Here. It formats everything (boot, cache, data and system partitions), good to use before you flash a new ROM, gives you a nice clean install. Flash it from recovery and then flash your ROM right after.

Nvm....tired

i second that.... i lost 0 percent in a hour and a half and i sent like 10 texts.

you could also try (after using the formatALL.zip) calibrating the battery. I drain the battery all the way then I charge it all the way to 100% and then go to recovery and wipe battery stats and then I use the phone normally and drain it completely. I usually do that whenever I flash a new kernel. Right now I'm using one of the stable savaged-zen kernels and I average about 20-24 hours of use with moderate-heavy use.

Any bugs that can bother daily use?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Btw if i wanna move to a nightly from rc1 do i have to wipe the whole data or just wipe the cache and dalvik cache??
Or do i have to flash nordic all over again??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

No need to wipe data, just wipe cache and dalvik (and battery cache just in case).
Personally i wipe just before and just after flashing the new nightly, even though I'm sure the just after isn't really necessary.
So far, once you are on some cm7 version, you don't need to do anything more before flashing any other (newer or older) version of cm7.

havent noticed any bugs, so dont worry. im running on 1ghz, and watch videos for about 1.5 hours daily, gaming for half an hour, wifi constantly on, browsing for an hour, and can get 1 day out of it easily.

I'm using the 110819-nightly and I'm very happy with it. No bugs or force closes...
The battery life is better than in stock froyo.

+1 for 110819 - 110814 was good too (I can't tell the difference) so either would be a good choice IMHO....

The CM7 nighties of Defy are pretty stable. If you want 2.3.5, go ahead. Flash it. I don't think you'll face any problems.

I have tried many of the leaked gingerbreads just to find that this or that doesn't work. The best that I have found for battery life and everything works is this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146630
This is the most complete rom I have tested. Good luck

All the info you need "should" be in the OP for the ROM. For instance SRF 1.2 requires you to also flash a kernel of your choice. Most ROMs are EXT4 these days but there are a few RFS ROMs out there. And almost all include a kernel. So if you want to try someone's recommended ROM for battery life, just remember to run several backups first, a nand and something like Titanium Backup.

thanks ..im just bein a litttle more cautious cause its not my phone and i dony want to get yelled at if i mess it up

I liked simply aosp, it was a good ROM. I ran the revolted kernel with it and got good battery life and performance. if u did triple wipes in cwm like u were supposed to, then it would be like starting a new ROM with nothing on it. Are u sure u flashed it right?
Edit: flashing roms on the epic is very similar to flashing them on the evo, minus the cool amon-ra recovery

When modding someone else's phone that it the kind of ROM you want. The one that makes some new graphics and keeps everything else the same. What launcher is on her phone? If it is still Touchwiz, get her to start using another launcher since a lot of ROMs remove twlauncher as bloat. I got ADW for my GF and I use Zeam. It will save you a homescreen nightmare.

well, as long as it works, then you're good to go. i always found that flashing without wiping data or restoring data from a previous flash has a tendency to cause issues with the rom later on. if u do have any problems, u may have to go back into cwm and wipe data as well as the cache and dalvik (3x/ea) then reflash your rom. but again, if it ain't broke... also, kenny said something about the touchwiz launcher... that launcher is included in the simply aosp rom under the "simply settings" app, as are the gingerbread launcher and the froyo launcher. i like touchwiz ok, i prefer the gingerbread launcher over that tho.

[Q] No internet/3G with full reception

Hi yall,
I am running MIUI **.9 and tiamat 1.1.5 kernel for the Dinc 2. Both have been installed for over a month or two, and just recently I noticed I won't getting internet away from wifi networks. I have full bars but next to it on the statues bar, there is no 3G or 1X icons and no internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you check to make sure you had movie data turned on?

tiamat 1.1.5 kernel broke 3g a couple updates ago for MIUI. I would just flash .7 aero bfs kernal. Its the best kernal for MIUI to date.

You need to place it on your sdcard, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & davich cache and flash the new kernal. Make sure you do a nandroid backup first though.

JUGG ROM

Okay, so i just installed JUgg rom for the first time on my phone.. hoping that it will increase my battery life and everything. But it seems the same to me ..The battery is still dying quick as usual. I got my auto brightness/4g on most of the time and also is there anyway to get back the swype keyboard because the keyboard that comes with this ROM is crappy. I tried the swype beta and it doesn't seem to let me install. It says "problem parsing the package"
So like ... what can i do? I uninstalled all the progarms i don't need off Tita Backup.
Plus the bloater doesn't seem to turn on for me .. It lists my T-Mobile SGS2 and everything .. but when i click on it.. nothing pops up and says XML ERROR or something.

Not to knock Juggs, its a great rom for gaming and whatnot but I find I get tons more battery life out of TDJ's Digital Warfare 2.7 and SetCPU - I run my CPU with a screen off profile to run bare minimum when not in use.. Insane battery life..
You should give it a try.

I'm a pretty heavy user and get about 19 hours on a bad day until I hit 10% on good day it'll go 24 hours + Running beast mod 4.2 and set cpu under clocked 756 max 384 min governor on lagfree and using juice defender. Runs super smooth too.

I was running jug with the synergy kernel and I was getting 16+ hours on a heavy use. That's why I stuck with it for about 4 months. But I couldn't help but flash aokp. I have 4 batteries so it doesn't matter to me anymore.

Synergy Kernel? How do you run jug with a kernel ? Instructions please

If I'm not mistaken, Juggs is more about power. I could get 15 hours+ out of it on a normal use day but if I played games quite a bit or stayed on wifi for long periods it would go under 10 hours on a full charge. I'd say, if it's battery you're looking for, Juggs isn't for you. It's a great ROM but again, it's more about making your phone powerful and less about conserving the batt.

Go to the android development section and look for a thread that says synergy kernel. You are going to download it and just how you installed jug through cwm you'll do the same with the kernel. Before hand wipe cache and dalvik cache which you find under advanced. Then flash the kernel. Then wipe both caches again and reboot.
