From 100% to 40% battery in an hour and a half? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have admittedly only just re-flashed the ROM (full wipe beforehand) on this device and it's only been through a single charge cycle since I wiped battey stats after calibration, but I am still disappointed that after only 90 minutes of web browsing and im-ing I am down to 39% battery.
Should I expect battery life to improve in the coming days/weeks?
end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500

I'd try re-flashing the ROM again.

How would that change anything? I'm not saying it couldn't I just want to know how that could improve battery life since I would be flashing the same ROM, with the same kernel over the same radio...

I had the same problem with Cool Sensation v7 ROM. Battery drain was terrible after about a week of flashing it so I uninstalled all my apps planning to re-install them gradually, a few at a time to see which of them was draining the battery but it was still a problem after uninstalling all user apps. I then did a full wipe in recovery and reflashed the ROM, added the user apps gradually and my battery life is just great now.

Please define gradually. One app a day, or what?
Do you advise against Titanium restore of all apps and their data?
end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500

I tried re-installing about 3 apps at a time and then checking the battery drain over 24 hours. But, like I said, it turned out not to be any of the apps it was the ROM, but I can't explain why. Once I did a full wipe and reflashed the same ROM I could have just re-installed all the apps using TB anyway as it was the ROM flash that was the culprit.
What I actually did was - Full wipe > Flash ROM > Batch restore all apps that I've had for a long time using TB > Restored all newer apps (downloaded in the last 2 weeks) a couple at a time each day.
I didn't need to do the last step really because I'm convinced the problem was just a bad ROM flash.
Reflashing a ROM can help solve many problems, though I don't know the mechanics of this actual issue.

Right... Thanks man, I guess I'll just re-flash then.

This sounds about normal to me.
60% in 90 minutes isn't that bad.

Yeah I know, my phone drops 1% a minute under heavy use. That would be 90% in 90 minutes, taking into account my phone turns off at 20% you can see where I'm going with this.
As I said, its not that bad.

I've been using Insertcoin Rom, my battery just went from 90% to 75% in about an hour. I'd say 10-20 min heavy use, and the rest is just standby. I don't know if what i'm experiencing is normal or not, but right now i'm trying to find a Rom that has better battery life

Yeah it was constand web browsing for 90 minutes, just that it was over 3g/hsdpa and not wifi, but the drain is the same over wifi.

Hsdpa or rather mobile internet in general is a battery drainer. But with WiFi this is really high. With oxygen I have 10% per 30 minutes screen on using WiFi (brightness set to 25%).
I would recommend to try another rom.

[Q] Battery Drain

Hi all,
i'm new with DHD, i flashed Revolution rom and i have high battery drain.
I charged my phone untill current was 0 mA, deleted the battery info and reboot.
So i turned on only data connection and leaved about 8 hours sleeping.. from 10pm to 10am all sync are off.. the result is: -25%!!!
I'm trying to find the batterykillerapp but i can't do it!
If i type the code *#*#4636#*#* i can see only battery info, no battery history, if i try using Spare Parts the app crash
how can i find the app that sucks my battery life?

Go back to the thread and look for the radio recommended for the rom. I'm pretty sure these radios are the main reason for battery drain
OR
What do you mean by battery drain? if it goes down fast when you're using your phone. That's not battery drain at all.
You can also go to OC daemon and set governor to ondemand so that the CPU doesn't stay on higher clocks.
i mean that battery goes down fast when i'm not using the phone! -25% in a night
sleep governor is on conservative and wake governor ondemand

When you enter Recovery , your screen will be black ,that means you don't have a custom recovery installed . You need to have Root & RomManager whit Clockwork Recovery installed in order to wipe battery stats .

Well lithium batteries fell best if the are fully recharged once or twice a month and then charging just whenever you feel like it really! like from 30 to 76 percent. They do not need so much looking after.

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...

[Q] Battery drain on CM7.2

Hi all,
I am using CM7.2(FXP106) on my Xperia arc, with the kernel that comes with it. But I find out that battery drain is much more worse than the stock. 42 ROM. I usually charge the phone to 100% before I sleep, and the phone only uses 3% during my sleep with stock ROM. (stock kernel, cpu is downclocked to 768MHz when screen is off, using conservative governor.) However with CM7.2 my phone consumes more than 10% during my sleep. I also downclock the cpu to 768MHz when screen is off the cpu governor is smartassv2. In battery usage, mobile standby and phone idle consume the most. lol (It used to be display with stock rom) Is there any possible workaround? thanks a lot.
Ivan
ok, i try to give you a view points to check:
read and install this on your phone. I had also a battery-drainer on my phone. i found it and now i´m happy
One time, on my x10miniPro the facebook app drain my battery.
Have you clear dalvik-cache before you install the rom? full wipe?
I installed many custom-roms at my x10 miniPro. Sometimes i have also fast battery drain. Then i made a second time a full wipe, clear dalvik cache and install the rom new. This fixed most of the problems.
try this and report
I had the same issue, but they closed the Issue at the project-page:
http://code.google.com/p/freexperia...tatus Priority Milestone Owner Summary&id=155
for this reason i changed to Arconium, and.... 1% during a whole night in flight mode, with FXP it was about 10%!
i really miss the additional settings from CM7 but as long as this Problem exists , even if they say its normal, i wont switch back.
I had exactly the same problem whith CM7.2 FXP107
It was "Cell standby" (I'm not sure it's how it's called in english) that was anormally draining battery. It may be linked to baseband (I was using 64 one).
I had wiped everything possible before, flashed with CM7.2 kernel.
So I swiched to Arconium 7 + DoomKernel 0.18 + baseband 36 with patches. No problem since.
I don't know where the problem came from, it didn't took time to investigate, it was to much of a drain to keep my phone like this.

i also tried Baseband -36 and -56 no difference, Full Wipe Battery Calibration and so on, but nothing changed.
There is no excssive battery drain on CM7.
Flash latest kernel, try different basebands, calibrate the battery sometimes (correct calibration !) and you won't have battery drain anymore.
I lose about 1,5 % in deep sleep and about 5 % with heavy (e.g. streaming, gaming).

2. Charge your phone to 100%
3. Turn off the phone and boot into recovery
4. In recovery, go to Advanced options --> Wipe Battery Stats --> Yes
5. Take the battery off
6. Insert the charger chord
7. Put the battery back and wait for the phone to boot
8. Once the phone boots up, you will notice that the battery percentage is around 88% instead of 100%
9. Charge the phone back to 100%
10. Repeat 4-5 times, seems to be the sweet spot

Thx for the Guide , but this doesnt work for me, once i had 82% after the first reboot , but now my phone doesnt boot automatically when i re insert the Battery, there is just a charging Symbol. when i boot manually , i have 100% battery.
You can use Toggle 2G with CM ROMs, pretty good in saving battery, you can set data to switch to 2G after certain minutes after the screen is off.

Battery life, not so great

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.

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.

Well a fresh charge overnight and I'm at 83% for 3 hours 14 minutes usage.
Very light usage, 1 call that lasted 30 seconds.
Bluetooth off
GPS off
Sync off
Wifi on-used when needed
Screen 60%
Cell 9%
How bad is this?

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.

The OS isn't always the reason for battery drain, many factors take into play.
How often you use the device.
Applications like widgets, email push.
Wi-Fi. If your not on it shut it down it else is always going to try to find a signal and drain battery.
Bluetooth. same with this.
Using the net.
Things like Google now, it's always running and trying to update info, shut it off of make intervals longer.
These are just some things to take into account, but at all use the phone different, and im not saying the OS doesn't drain but it solely isn't the only reason.
Hope this help.

I seem to be having the same problem. ..
Same here. With sync turned off, google now turned off, and most everything else that eats battery...
In the battery setting is shows that media is eating at least 25% battery.

I'm having the same issue. I read that the media drain could be caused by bad media files, but I didn't have any issues before this weird.
In my experience when you first update to a new samsung rom, the media using the battery is your phone updating the picasa albums...which stinks because it also eats your data like crazy if you are not on wifi and forget to turn off sync until wifi is available.
I've noticed faster than normal battery drain as well on my device. Normally by 4:30pm I'd be at 40-50%. Now I'm in the 20-30% range.
I'm going to try factory defaulting it soon and run it for a day or two. OR I might not even do that and just go directly to Task's AOKP or CM10.

I am going to flash to tasks tonight, not fond of what I've been reading about cm10.
But guys remember we all use our phones differently, take into account apps, usage, ect
Some days my battery lasts a bit longer than normal but I want using it as much.

i dont have any issues with battery drain, but i would suggest a full restore after upgrade. dont restore using titanium, just install through playstore. then report back but i doubt it will be an issue
Before everyone jumps ship, may want to try a new kernel. KT and a few others should work on the new release. Just make sure you choose one that works on JB TW and not ASOP.

I'm currently a kt kernel for jb twz.. but I'm not really complaining about my bat as I use my phone like a cheap hooker lol

I have the same problem.. After JB update there is huge battery drain. With average usage it drains almost 100%. Before update with heavy usage I was going through the day.
Maybe I should try KT kernel I don't know. I wiped all after updated, nothing saved from ICS.

Try kt kernel and change the governors to suit your usage

Same here,
It's seem the culprit is the android.process.media.
Each time i bootup,android.process.media is running for about 30 min, non-stop.
I already do a factory reset+sd formatting, but no succes.
With startup manager, i can block that process,but you need to be rooted .
I use the same settings as before i did'nt upgrade yet..i got it fully charge with no texting and calls the next 1hr its already 80%..i think i would try to cycle first my battery for 2 more days..then i'll see if it still have heavy drains..thanks for the response guyss.
Check out my overnight drian! from 1:30 to 10 the average drain is around 4% an hour, Losing about 20% overnight doing nothing.

I just got this phone the other day and immediately updated to jelly bean.Though I have nothing to compare it to my battery drain seems normal. I'm losing about 5% an hour but that is with some use (it's new so I'm playing with it a lot).
I did notice more drain the first day of use (may have been because I was using it a lot) and noticed maps was taking up quite a bit of the battery and I wasn't using it. So I uninstalled the updates for Maps and then re installed it. Battery drain seemed much better after that and now the maps app doesn't even show up in the battery report(before it was about 3rd and it seems kinda high on yours as well though you may be using it).
i'm noticing about the same battery consumption as the stock ICS rom. about 1~2% per hour when idle and sitting, 2~5% per hour listening to music over bluetooth with the screen off, and 5~10% per hour surfing the net and watching videos and stuff.
Well after doing probably 5 resets on my phone , it seems like everything is working fine . I was having issues with the battery drain ,internet not connecting, and phone calls taking 2 minutes to connect.
I was having issues with high battery usage as well after updating to JB.
I froze most every app and widget associated with AT&T and Samsung (with the exception of AllShare) and flashed KT747 kernel and set governor to ktoonservative (default settings).
I am really never a heavy user during the day, but with the same usage I had on ICS, I average 15.5 hours (with the phone at approx 15% when I shut it off to charge) - screen on time between 2.5 and 3 hours; call time between 45 min and 1.5 hrs; media (which seems to be a big battery hog) only about 6 minutes. I use bluetooth exclusively, so that radio is on all the time the phone is on. I keep sync and background data on, but only turn mobile data on as needed.
