Hi all,
I'm new to ROMing. This afternoon I successfully flashed my HTC Desire with LeeDroid 2.4 ROM. I did so after wiping all user data, Dalv cache as well as battery cache.
I'm not sure if it is normal, but having been using the room for the past 6 hrs, I realized my battery is facing drainage faster than when I was using stock rom, although i have done all the setting to prevent drainage. Within 15 min of screen on for whatsapping, my battery can drop around 3-5%. Looking at the battery history, it say Cell Standy uses 30%, Android system using 31% and Phone Idle 27%. are all this statistics considered normal?
In addition, each time i load an app and press "back" to return to home screen, the system will show "Loading..." for around 5s while the home screen loads up (this does not happen when in stock rom). I'm not sure whats wrong with my device now.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I realized my 2nd issue was to the HTC Sense Launcher. But I have no idea why it is happening so. Anyone have such issue?
Please can I get some assistance, I cannot for the life of me figure out what has happened.
LeeDroid 3.3 latest.
I have gone from 48h standby to 14h. During use it's depleted in a matter of hours, it's incredibly low in relativity to what I'm used to.
I was on LeeDroid 3.0.2 previously and battery life was VERY long, I loved it - going back to this version doesn't help and the battery issue remains, and therefore it also remains on the newest build.
Previously I was running a bucket load of apps/games with normal 50% brightness, I have resorted to deleting apps/keeping tasks closed but to no avail. The Statistics for battery usage seem to look similar to how it used to be before, with display taking up a large chunk.
I tried the battery trick today but it hasn't helped. My phone has already gone to 98% (40m uptime) with screen turned off + SetCPU set at powersave/lowest mhz while screen is off.
I hope you can help, Thanks.
This does happen sometimes, not sure what causes it but a wipe and reflash sorts it out for me.
What kernel are you using? Have you made any recent changes before massive drain started happening?
Try monitor the current using current widget. If it's normal, around 1-4ma during standby, perhaps, your battery need calibrated. If it didn't resolve your problem, then, maybe the battery is dead.

I dont think this is the problem because when it happens to mine it just happens by itself after a few weeks of having the ROM installed with very few extra applications which I install immediately.
anyone know if the proximity sensor is classed under display? could be that thats stuck on. got any apps that use or used the proximity sensor? or maybe the touch screen is stuck on.
have you tried removing the SD card? see if its something on there.
Well I reinstalled Leedroid with the recommended rom and although the battery life is nowhere near what it was previously... its at a respectable 22h or so... enough to give me time to actually find a fix...
Theres no apps, nothing, just the rom and its apps so I will try it without SD card also, i dont understand how to check for proximity sensor though
Thanks
Tried searching for an answer to my problem but no solution has popped up. If anyone can help it would be great
I have installed LeeDroid 3.3.3. (did a full wipe and wiped cashe) and have not restored any system data. The battery drain on screen off (using SetCPU) is between 5-7 mA and when using the phone between 110-200 mA. This seems high and if anyone has any ideas what to do it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Using the phone = screen is on = high power consumption. That's the downside of having a 4.3" screen. Your power drain seems totally normal to me, unless your phone shuts down within 5 hours of standby etc.
Thanks for the quick reply I should have mentioned that I didn't use battery monitor for a while so the figures seemed to high. Well, I learn something new every day, thank again.
I have a problem with latest version of Android Revolution HD 6.1.0.
Yesterday afternoon I fully charged my phone and used it only a little bit until I went to bed and turned the phone off.
Today when I turned my phone on again (fastboot) I was shocked: Battery was at 25%.
How can the battery drain that fast over night while turned off?
I am using the correct Radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M), Superwiped before flashing new version of ARHD and also cleaned battery stats when it was fully charged.
Can you please help me finding out what is causing this?
I´m not getting that much battery life out of my HTC Desire HD either when running ARHD 6.1.0 ... Is there any RADIO that could help?
Weird - I have similar problem with 6.1 Revolution.
Battery seems fine all day, put it on my bedside table last night at over 80% battery...woke up this morning with 2% battery left!!
really weird.

I'm gonna download Current Widget now and enable the log option and see what is happening in the log overnight.
Post the log up then and see if someone can take a look.
Any news about this? I feel that mine is dropping rather fast aswell..
Saturday i installed 6.1, installed applications and used the phone.. At a total screen was on for 4 hours... After a total of 5 hours, the phone was down to 15% battery...
Does application installation take that much or is something not quite right? I feel that i had more batterytime with 5.2.4..
Now i can basically see the battery values dropping while using the phone.. I have current widget and sometimes when i start the screen and go to home screen it says way above 500mA, is this right?
Well i don't have any issues, while using ARHD 6.1 with the recommended Radio

How have you managed to have Display use up so little battery?
Mine always has about 75% and up, at the least...
I use Autobrightness with no Mod for lower Autobrightness.
I have nothing changed.
Flashed recommended Radio.
Flashed ARHD 6.1.
Done.
As you can see some harder Battery drops, while i was playing some Games. All time WLAN on. But i used it als always and had a very nice Battery expand.
Hmm, How much time is your display turned on? as i said, this saturday after i had flashed i emptied the battery in about 5 hours with screen on 4 of those.. Feels like the screen is taking alot of battery but i guess.. I had full brightness, not auto..
I don't know exactly but i would say display was active vor 15h+.
Autosync runs every 3h.
If you freshly flashed, it will take some time to stabilize. So maybe drain it until its empty/almost empty(10%) then get a full charge. Try to reboot and watch again. If you still have problems you schould install current widget and let i generate log. where you can see how much it drain if display is off and/or phone is standby.
If I put on screen from standby and check current widget i have 3mA/5mA. So if display is off the drain is very low.
hello mates,
I have rooted my htc desire and installed redux 1.2 ROM(gingerbread) with a ManU kernel...When charging the LED changes to green precisely at 90% (which i dont have a major problem with as it will go all the way to 100% if kept on charge)..also the phone will die at 10-15% of battery...I have read other threads regarding this same problem and am wondering if its a calibration error or is the problem with gingerbread ROMs as someone pointed out...Otherwise the battery is fine...and gives me a decent 1-2 days of use with moderate usage...its jus the problem abt the 15% n going dead which is a lil troublesome as the fone has died on me many a time for that last important msg, call or IM...any help appreciated...cheers..
That's not really a problem. The green LED at 90% is normal for android (try to fix it with battery calibration, helps sometimes) and the shutdown at 10-15% is also normal. Just take the last one how it is, all batteries are different. Some phones shut down at 5%, others at 20%.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
noticed this on ICS dev rom too but also had it on my old G1
wipe cache,battery stats try diffrent kernel

You should try calibrating your battery for the 10-15% dying problem.
And as for the 90% LED changing to green, all AOSP ROMs do that, so no worries there
What worked for me was charging it while the phone is on, when the LED turns green, power it off and charge it again till it turns green.
Repeat this twice and then reboot.

This is to calibrate the battery. Some people find it useful to run a program called BatteryRepair, in my case I noticed a clear improvement on battery performance.
To avoid calibration problems with the battery, remember to unplug your phone when you flash a new rom!

Turning off at 15% of battery with Supernova 2.4 ROM
I am using Supernova Xtreme 2.4.0.0 ROM, and my phone turns off at 15% of battery. My battery is freshly calibrated and this problem did not occured with LeeDroid ROM and with the stock ROM neither. On the Droidzon page I have found some info in FAQ section, which says the following:
Question: Recently I let my battery go completely flat. When I switched my handset back on I was bombarded with forced close messages.
This has been reported once previously, but could not be reproduced under Sibere’s extensive testing under similiar conditions. For the same reason, unfortunately, we dont have a solution too. The OS is supposed to prevent a complete drain, and to shutdown at 15% and then 5%. The shutdown at 5% is supposed to be forced too. If it shutdowns, then this issue shouldnt occur. Data2SD depends on a normal shutdown to prevent data corruption. Once Data corruption has occured due to untidy shutdown, data is not unmounted cleanly, and then the issue can recur on every subsequent boot, which would require a complete reinstall.
So it seems to be normal, connected to the ROM, and NOT connected to my battery (it is calibrated).
My question is (which goes to Droidzone firstly), what should I do, if I want to use this ROM, but I do not want it to turn off at 15% rather I want it to turn off my phone at 2%?

I'm afraid this is not similiar to the issue in the FAQ. Your issue is that phone shutsdown at a level earlier than expected. The Data corruption issue is because the phone did not shutdown at the expected level and went down to as far as zero level of the battery, which resulted therefore in an untidy shutdown with no sync or clean unmount of data2sd partition, and hence ext4 errors. The 15% shutdown level is a normal soft shutdown prompt (which was missing in case of the issue reported by the user). The shutdown at 2% is the normal forced shutdown by OS.
As I said previously, your issue seems to be due to a poorly calibrated or defective battery, and it would help to do a calibration as per guides on XDA. If this fails, have the battery checked. To reiterate, it's not a rom issue and not something like a bug in the rom.
Thanks. So normally the phone with Supernova ROM should turn off at 15%. After that I have to be able to turn it on again, and use it till it drains to 2%, and shuts down finally.
For me it just shuts down at 15% and then when I switch it on and it boots up, the battery level shows 0% and it shuts down immediately.

No, a normal rom would popup a warning at 15%, asking the user to shutdown. If he doesnt, it would continue, and then give additional warnings, and finally do a forced shutdown at 2%. If it shutsdown before that forcibly, it's something peculiar to your hardware.
Ooops, so Supernova ROM should behave exactly the same way as a stock ROM (or any other) does in terms of warnings and shutdows.
I might try to do something with battery calibration. Should I do it before or after flashing Supernova? Or it does not matter? If I flash a new ROM, does it delete battery logs or it stays as it was before flashing?

Correct. For all intents and purposes, Supernova is exactly like a Stock rom. Difference is only in where internal apps are stored.
The so called calibration is just a file at /data, which means it will be wiped when you do a wipe for rom install.
[Update] Problem solved. I flashed UOT battery MOD after first boot (not before). Now it works perfectly.
A flashed the ROM again, did the battery calibration several times, but the phone keeps turning off at 15%. I checked battery voltages at different levels of battery, and I experienced that at 16% it is 3635 mV, then it turns off below 15%. When I turn it on, battery level is 0% and the voltage is 3390 mV, and when it is charged up to 1% it is 3723 mV, which is higher than it was at 16%. What is wrong here? Actually I use UOT kitchen battery MOD, can this confuse the system somehow?
