Hi! Before i have got a drain of 3-6 mA with most of the roms, but suddenly all roms dain 16-20 mA. No matter if it is MIUI , cm7 or sense roms. They all have the same drain .. is my battery bad ?
Got my phone waterdamaged 2 weeks ago , but this bad battery time started yesterday...
First you need to calibrate the battery.
Charge your phone until Current Widget shows 0mA. Then go into recovery and delete battery stats. Let the phone discharge until it shuts down by itself, then charge until it is back to 0mA. That will calibrate the battery.
Secondly, new ROM's do take a few days to "learn" how to use the battery most efficiently so you wont get the best battery life instantly.

I know that ROM´s need a few days , but i have waited a few days ,and noticed that it is allways the same drain... But i will try calibrate my battery next
And please make sure that during the period of charging it the second time that you do not take it off the charger. That will mess up the calibration and you will have to start all over again.
you might want to try a new radio too
same for me. I tried everything I could.
I tried these roms:
-coredroid
-ARHD
-honey
-virtuous
-MIUI(current)
I tried these methods:
-multiple new recommended radio + ril
-battery calibration app + clear battery stats(recovery) @ 100%.
-full wipe 1.5
-re-root(hack kit v12.3)
-different kernels
When I first rooted my phone battery was perfect on any roms until I flashed ARHD,thats when my battery drainage happened.

how many hours you are getting now....with regular usage ????
I'm getting the same here... Started with ARDH too, then LeeDroid, now Virtuous.
Clean installs each time, apps restored using Titanium. Also re-flashed the recommended Radios too and calibrated the battery once.
Current drain is 15% / hour on Standby ~70+mA.
I noticed no unusal Wake Locks either.
I'm loving Virtuous, but thinking to go back to stock if the new Viruous update doesn't solve this.
Just whilst typing this I lost 2% :-(
Yeah this is no fun...

I just flashed MIUI last night and noticed that my battery is being sucked dry pretty fast. I suspected that it is due to sync being switched on. Where can I make adjustments to the frequencies of the sync?
Either from the app or Settings>Personal>Accounts & Sync
Although I didn't have ANYTHING setup last night when trying it and lost 6% in about 10 mins - something's not right
Try resetting your battery indicator http://www.miui-au.com/howtos/reset-battery-indicator/. It is also recomended somewhere on the miui-au.com site to not charge your phone while flashing because it is somehow disruptive for the indicator.
I know all that, I wipe:
data/cache
dalvik-cache
battery stats
rotation settings
before flashing ANY ROM. Battery life is still crap

The weird thing is I wasn't charging the battery while flashing. I find it a bit surprising for MIUI 1.2.4 to be quite a beast in battery usage.

What would you consider a good battery life?? I flashed to 1.2.4 and it seems to last me all day without any problems?BUt I have noticed slight 5%-8% drop in the 1st hour or so but then it stablises throughtout the day. Ive not tweaked my phone with setCPU and I dont intend to either.
Something is rly wrong with your MIUI. Anyway, never use that Kernel which comes with miui. Use Vork or Coutts Kernel.
pls download current widget from market and test how much mA it drains in "screen off". im using miui-au 1.2.4 r2 with vork kernel and im losing 1% per our with wifi, sync and gps on. it uses 4-5 mA with screen off.
With previous MIUI builds, and with my own ROM I'm using now, I can go from 7:30am til midnight and still be on circa 50% battery. This is with my normal weekday usage. It goes down to about 30% by end of the day on weekends as I use the phone more
This build drops 5% in a few minutes and I just don't see that as being any good

I don't need to download anything, the ROM was dropping battery with NOTHING setup except for Wi-Fi. I didn't even setup my Gmail account to get my contacts!!
I think I can skip the obvious as I know full well what I'm doing and never had this issue with previous MIUI builds, and I never use the stock kernel - I always go for a Coutts one before first boot
okay so for the past weeks, i have been running the latest cyanogen rom nightly and i read about the script by puremotive that improves you battery life so i flashed it, everything was working wonderfully, noticed increased battery life but yesterday when i woke up my phone was off some how, so i turned it on and before i could even open an application it turns off. i mean like just turns off no bootloops whatsoever. When it turns off, if i have like full battery charge its drops down to 15%
so i was wondering is it my battery thats the problem or the phone?
and yes ive tried wiping everything and even flashed a different rom.

Anyways, have you filled your sd card up by anychance?
i ask as i notice massive battery drains if i have less that 1gb left on the card, the phone becomes hot and sluggish.
it runs slower than android 1.5 on the g1, and is impossible to use. once i managed to delete the files it took my phone about a hour to stabilize again.
just a thought
Wipe all caches and then wipe your battery stats.
Then give your phone a few charge cycles for the battery to stabilize. Things will definitely improve.
i'm not filled the sd card and ok i can try to wipe all caches (already did about 10 times .. lol but why 2 days ago with 6.1.0 all worked fine and yesterday when i flashed the 6.1.1 battery drain is heavy and even if i go back to 6.1.0 battery drain still persist.. it's strange very strange..
you must have something running in the background which is keeping your phone awake even when your phone is screen off. go to the thread here download the app and fully charge your phone again and use it as normal and keep checking the app specially in the partial wakelocks and see what drains the battery the most..it will be the first thing on the list.
and then when you check the screenshots post them in that thread to get some more help and explanation on what is eating your battery
i'll try with the app but the thing is strange because i've the same apps installed than before this happening
hi,if your android rooted,try "One Power Guard" download from onexuan.com,It can help you extend battery life .

Hi, i'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 and since the last 5 days or so I've me experiencing the two following situations: the battery is fully charged, i start using the phone and it discharges normally, but when I load a heavier app it just shuts down suddenly with a low battery warning. the other situation is when i connect the phone to the wall charger after this issue, it starts charging normally but then it just jumps right to 100% with the same speed that it went down. Already checked the usage statistics but cant seem to find whats causing this, the battery just goes down abruptly.
Thoughts, anyone?
Try a different rom.. I recommend a Gingerbread rom with a kernel that supports battery calibration like Oxygen Rom. If there is no improvement after using the rom, calibrate the battery with this guide. http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=723
If there is no difference, your battery is probably shot.
I've tried wiping the battery stats several times, re-flashing the rom, scripts and gapps, calibrating the battery and flashing rooted stock desire rom.
Is this method any diferent? I want to avoid moving to another rom if I can, i have tried several and i really like my current one.
EDIT: okey, I did as you suggested, flashed oxygen and followed the calibration steps. I was quite hard as the phone shut down as soon as the voltage level drop bellow 3201, but i managed. I experimented for a while on oxygen and the battery acted just the same as before. i have now reverted to jb, this time on AOKP v2.1. Is my battery ready for a replacement?
Hi guys.
I have a strange problem. My Gio charges from 3% to 100% in 3 minutes. It says fully charged...
Of course it's not real charging, if i unplug it, and start to play a game or just see my mails with wifi, it consumes that 100% on 5-10 minutes...
I've tried to charge the phone all night and the result is 2-3h of working time. If i use power consuming apps, like games, than it's just half an hour... I think that the phone stops somehow the charging process if it reaches to 100%.
I've tried to calibrate the battery, with program from market, and wiping batterystats from CWM too... It didn't help...
The strange thing is, that last week it worked well. Now something happened and it's ruinig my life...
I had THIS ROM when it started.
I've changed to THIS ROM, and it didn't solve the problem. All caches were wiped during flashing...
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!
Anybody? Please...

Hm you said you tried to calibrate the battery so it`s weird. I have sometimes the same problem but after a calibration it is fixed. I can only recommend to charge it overnight , make sure you`re not overclocking it , make sure you don`t use wifi , mobile data , gps , see if there`s an improvement keep it only with calls and messaging for 1 day see how that goes. Check also the battery maybe it has a spillage altough i don`t think that`s the case. Sorry that`s all i can say
Thanks for the advices.
I've just set the CPU governor to smartassv2. It was on Ondemand. Now I can discharge the phone with playing within 15 minutes. It's better than it was on ondemand...
I will try to use it like a regular phone, let's see how it works...

The phone is 1.5 years old. On the battery the date is: 2011/07/26
Flash a stock rom with odin if doesn't solve the issues buy a new battery maybe your's dead.

also remove any apps or games you have installed since you encountered this problem, I have tried enhanced rom it gives a stable battery life, but its worth changing to a different rom like cm 7.2 by phiexz, I am currently using it and it gives a good battery life.

I've a battery old as yours (04.05.2011)
With any custom ROM my battery life is of 3 hours...
With stock is kinda 5 hours with 2G connection activated.
I'm waiting for a new battery, but if you want to keep your phone alive up to then:
- flash a stock ROM
- install as few apps as you can (I've G+, Stream (FB client), FB messanger, Viber, WhatsApp, App Cache Cleaner, AppZorter and xda app, nothing else T_T)
- do NOT use kernel different from stock
- hope you good luck because first times battery will be strange, after some full usage and discharge now I've the battery life I told before
Hope this could help
