For the last week or so my phone just reboots, not sure what is causing it ? I did notice the battery is a little warm but not always it does this 3-4 times a day. I switched roms and kernals with no result.Is my phone junk?

I'd go back to the earlier kernel/rom first (at least another kernel) before saying phone is totaled.
Also know your rom, most aren't vanilla and might be running stuff you don't usually want/need. Turning off, freezing, or uninstalling some of that might help. Grab something like watchdog lite and see if you can pick out what's using most cpu and if you can do without it.
You could have also overclocked too high or made some change the kernel that caused some instability. If you didn't mess with any of that, then I don't know what else to tell you.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
Well thanks for the advice but I've already checked those areas and only ran the kernals that the builders had with the roms. On another note my battery temp hovers around 100 F at idle and goes up when in use, I've noticed reboot when using gps or playing words and sometimes youtube. Might need new battery anyone have any temps to compare?

Do battery calibration after each flash to new ROM, also make sure you are not too undervolted which makes the battery work harder. And do not bump charge battery is set to 100% at about 95% of battery to save battery life. 100% is the worst state a battery can be in.

You could always try flashing the stock RUU from your computer then run your backup. The stock RUU has been known to solve many issues.

So I did a battery config and my temp is down how do I check for undervolting, with a meter or application?

I asked the same question, from research I found out most incredible's are having this issue, something to do with the usb or sdcard not working or something, there are a few threads here just not sure where the on with the link to the fix is

I have a battery widget and it fluctuates 3.8-4.05 V but the battery rates at 3.7V ?? Most of the reboots are when the battery is 30% or lower. Last night the battery got to 109 before rebooting while I was using it on the charger. Then vibrated 3 times while the screen was off??? Hopefully this phone makes it 1 more month til new phones hit Verizon.

I purchased the official Seidio 3500 mah batteries for my evo and the wifes evo. After a full charge, her battery under normal usage all day and night is at 57%. My phone after a full charge and barely any use whatsoever was at 13% after an hour..... We are both running Azrael x3.0 rom with the newest htc kernel #15... any suggestions?? Maybe my new battery is faulty?? I would expect this from ****ty ebay batteries, but not something official!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try eliminating a variable by swapping batteries with your wife....then use your old one again.....if both work well then you have your answer......
Sent from my rooted evo using the xda app
Swap batteries ... if hers only lasts a short time in your phone then issue is with the phone. Then you can start troubleshooting.
Edit: Ha I was a few second to slow!
Ok I will give that a try.... I noticed in the battery left widget when I go to usage, the very first one says "running" 84%, and I click on it, basically it is stating that the phone isn't sleeping when I lock the phone..... could this mean that the everything is staying on when it should be sleeping?
Thank you for tips!!

Ok after being on the charger for all night, I unplugged it, and really haven't done anything and I dropped to 90 % within 8 minutes.... I haven't had a chance to try my wifes battery yet, but im thinking this one is definitely faulty...
Why would android system be at 63%???

Dropping the first 10% quickly is not a certain indication that its the battery....your battery charges to 100% and then, begins to be used up to 10% before it charges again.....so you could have been lower than you thought you were originally ...thus making it appear that you dropped 10% in minutes.....if the remainder of the battery does this then I still recommend you try swapping with your wife to eliminate or confirm

Ok well I just wanted to say thank you guys for your advice, but I think I figured it out.... I think that some things within the phone were not getting along. I flashed the SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-havs kernel #11. I fully charged the phone, including bump charge, and I left it on for about an hour or so longer, and I have been unplugged for 1:44, and my awake time is 45 min. I am still reading 100%!!! So I think I am good to go....
Thanks again guys
On full battery or still plugged on the charger.... I know if u change your rom on half or low battery it really screws up the battery...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've never heard of such a thing. I've switched ROms many times while @ 30% or below. Regardless, I think it's best to be above 50% and on wireless.
Why would it screw up the battery? I've installed many roms on many occasions and my battery was not fully charged. I'm gettng excellent battery life on CM7 right now (yesterday/today's uptime is almost at 19 hours and still at 40% with moderate usage).
I have the stock battery, mind you.

It really doesn't matter at all, just don't do it with 5-10%, don't want the battery dying while you are in the middle of a flash.
When u recharge the phone when recalibrate does it have to be off or on

This is all you need to worry about man. This goes for updating radios and recoveries through bootloader aswell. If your batt dies in the middle of something it could turn into a brick
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Make sure that it's just charged enough that it wont die in the middle of a flash. You don't want that expensive of a paperweight. Other than that being said, i've flashed roms with under 40% battery before.

If you are talking about wiping battery stats, that really doesn't do much.
okay so im running the mikofroyo 4.3 rom it starts off with 26 hours of battery life at a full charge... after about 3 days it decreases and at a full charge i only get 7 hours what can i do to fix this? this, has also happened with other roms as well
You probably use,it differently at other days..

no the most i use it is on the weekends where i work we are not allowed to have cell phones so it just sits in my pocket or in the car all day
Do you use chats or something like that ? Like aim and stuff
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Get an app called battery booster. Let the phone's battery get under 20% click full cycle charge. See if that helps. Also how often do you let the phone just die out? That could help. Oh yeah and don't mess with the phone on full cycle charge.
Yeah try different things

I've been through most ROM's and numerous Kernels. Sense ROM's. AOSP ROM's Froyo. GB.....
I am still absolutely totally frustrated by the battery life.
I am currently running SR4 with Lou's number 8. SetCPU with screen off setting 245000
I unplugged my phone at 8:04 this morning. Some light Foursquaring, light Facebook chatting (about 10 messages in total) 4 minutes of phone calls
And I'm down to 67% at 10:11 am.
Totally, totally frustrated by all this.
Facebook chat is constantly cheecking for new messages, turn that junk off.
Have you experimented with undervolting? I can get a day out of my phone pretty easily. Original stock battery that came with the phone on day one, too.

I'm using stock battery as well but with the original cm7.0.3 kernel. which kernel do you have and where can I find it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I also get at least a day of moderate use. I use chad's incredikernel, the new beta 2, as well as his undervolted script in his op. Check in the dev section.
I can also say that the cm7 / incredikernel combo works extremely well as far as battery life and performance. Can definitely get through the day with moderate use on a charge on the stock battery.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
it sounds like there might be something keeping your phone awake or you got a bad battery? I've been running SR4 with Lous 8 and easily get a full day's use out of it. bump charge gives me a couple extra hours of juice too. stock battery btw
Also, if you do not have a constant signal, you can say goodbye to your battery. I work in a plant and my phone searches in and out for signal all day. Sometimes bounce from 0-2 bars all day. It doesn't help that I live out in the boonies either
I unplug my phone at 6am every morning and a few text messages and a couple emails later, I'm looking at 25% at 9am.
To back that up, I went to Charlotte this past weekend, I had full service. My phone was off the charger Thursday at 3pm, and headed to Charlotte. My phone did not die until Friday night/ Saturday morning. And I constantly used Facebook BC I was so happy I had enough signal to have it load everything and text like crazy when I went out with my friend.
And now I'm back home, back at work ... enjoying this 3-5 hour use of a battery.
SN: I am using the stock battery. ROM and Kernel is in the sig.
I can take any z rom with ziggys bfs wo havs kernel and get a full fay with moderate to heavy use. Display at 30% brightness an i turn off 3g while driving, use wifi at my house. Do all myfacebook thrubrowser unless i need to upload a pic.. any syncing app is going to kill your battery. I sync the minimum.

I'm using the second beta of Chads Incredikernel. It can be found here:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.38.6-incredikernel-beta2.zip
I'm also using an undervolt script that he made, and made some adjustments for even better battery life. There are 3 different undervolt scripts on his downloads page ( http://chad0989.dyndns.org/). They are:
setvdd_levels-4202011_signed.zip
setvdd_levels-5052011_signed.zip
setvdd_levels_signed.zip
The bottom one with no date is the most aggressive, giving you the overall lowest voltages for your CPU. But, it may result in reboots, depending on whether or not your phone will be stable with such low voltages. The 4202011 one is a bit less aggressive, but should be stable on more phones. Finally, the 5052011 one is the least aggressive out of them, but it should be stable (your mileage may vary lol).
If you get reboots with one, flash the next one thats not as aggressive and hopefully it'll work for you. If you get reboots on the least aggressive one, just remove the 95havsvdd file from /system/etc/init.d.
I hope I helped you (and anyone else that may have read this hefty post! Lol)

I think what you would find if you had a pile of phones at your disposal is that they are all like that. What I would suggest is buy the extended battery from Verizon and have a fatter phone. You will make it through the day on that I would think. GL!

try this
Two things that will kill your battery faster than anything:
-Anything that syncs
-your screen
So, turn your brightness and screen timeout down and turn off anything you don't need syncing all the time, or at least turn the sync frequency down.
Also, keep your wifi, vibration, tactile feedback, and gps off unless you really need it.
Kernels, roms, undervolting...no where near as effective.
Think about your phone as a smaller version of a laptop (which it pretty much is), what's going to save you the most energy: throttling your cpu speed, or turning the screen brightness down?
Much love brother

My phone has TERRIBLE battery life. It lasts about 2 hours usually and sometimes 2 and a half. I'm running the stock GB from that came with the phone, but I am rooted. I have tried every single from out there..none of them give me sufficient battery life. By the time i get home from school by battery is down to 30%. What could be causing this? I'm also on my third warranty replacement phone and my second battery.

This really has no useful information to be helped. 2 hours? On stand by, screen on time, any cpu tuners, etc?
Maybe take screenshots of what the battery chart looks like and what apps have the highest percentage.
It is about 2 and a half hours of screen on time. And I can't get a screenshot of it because I just flashed a new rom, and my battery hasn't had a chance to settle in with the new rom yet. If it doesn't improve I will post a pic of my battery stats. Thanks.

Well, I'm guessing there is an app that keeps running constantly. You should try an ICS ROM, that might help.

Same problem
I've been experiencing identical issues with my T989. I've had terrible battery life without many apps running in the background (as I use the stock task manager to execute all running apps). I've finally decided to root my device and install a 'set cpu speed' app. Even though I've set my minimum cpu speed to 200 MHz and max to 800 MHz it's still lasts for a maximum of 4 hours until I get the "Battery is critically low" message.
Does samsung provide warranty for their batteries? Because I've called to complain about battery life and they asked me to remove the battery and send the device itself so they could repair it. And under no circumstances would they offer me an exchange for the battery, maybe I just caught a bad rep?
I love this phone and all it's features and prefer this over the iPhone but I feel like i'm being forced to just purchase the iPhone 4s.
