then i wonder can we get some information to know where the problem come from?=> we can fix the battery drain issue on all GB build. Hope it help out devs. cheer
Sorry for my bad english
What drain?
Are there really so many problems with drainage on CM7/GB builds?
2d, 3h, 25m on battery with 60% left.
The first CM7 build i used is the one in my sig. I'm amazed by the lack of problems with this build
The only drain that's still ongoing is bluetooth on standby drain AFAIK. This DSP issue is not related to the HD2, thus I don't think it's valid to implement. With bluetooth turned off and heavy usage, I get roughly 2 days out of my device also... I really don't think the drain is a big issue. Honestly, the biggest issues is (And it's not much): Robot voice once in a while, some Wifi issues (EAP mostly), Wakeup lag and BT drain on standby.
the drain is related to the toolchain used to compile our kernals and roms?). I however can do easily 3 days with out charging on android, using the same setup as KrewsialNL
Actually
Actually, i get pretty horrible battery life across all builds...
it could be that I have a v1 TMOUS hd2 though... something is weird with it. I always get random energy spikes (even with sync off)
can't get more than 14-18 hours...
My battery drainage is fine using the Typhoon rom. I think some people are expecting a little too much out of their batteries.
It's only 1230mah if it was 1500mah it would have been way better.

How on EARTH are you getting that long out of your battery?
Are you using the phone at all?
I've used loads of different builds and never come even close to half that battery life, in fact no more than about 20hours MAX with light usage.
I am using Juice Defender to disable my WiFi and Data when the phone is not in use too.
Any tips?
I have run all the latest GB builds and I also get this weird spike (around 70mA to 100mA) usually when I leave the phone overnight (not charging) and this drains my battery down to almost empty by morning. This is with bluetooth off and wifi on. No apps installed on the phone.

mmmm That CM7 build has great battery life but yours is beyond reality... are you sure you haven't connect the phone in those 2 days?
Mine says "4D 10h 1m 50s on battery" and has more than 50% left but it has 3 green spikes (in battery use, I connected 3 times but didnt charge to 100%)

Well I was going to say exactly EXACTLY the same thing! Except that i didn't like Juice Defender
Is battery THAT GOOD?!?
Battery
well yes, it's certainly feasible...
it's just that MY hd2 specifically gets random spikes in energy usage.... I'm not sure why, been trying to resolve it for a while.
I don't really get those spikes in WM, only when I go someplace that doesn't have signal... it will spike up initially and then settle down (dutty's rom)
However, with these android roms.... i get random spikes of increased current around 100-200ma while the phone is in sleep. Bluetooth off, sync off, wifi off etc.
also, when the phone is in use... it is not uncommon to have current of 400+ consumption... hitting 500+ when web browsing...
I never got this high in windows mobile...generally around 400 when streaming youtube in wm. I'm wondering if it is an android thing...
edit:
in a perfect world, our battery consumption should stay around 4ma constantly... Which we know that isn't always the case because we have data syncing and signal strength changing...but to give you an idea....
if we have a 1230mah battery... dividing that by the current draw (4ma) gives us a standby time of ~307.5h....
that's ~12.8 days
however, with my current usage... say, i'm getting about 14 hours out of my battery... that's like if i constantly had a current draw of ~68ma...
Taking a look of my usage charts.... if we say the phone is only in use for 6 hours, and the rest is in standby for 10h at 4ma...
the 6 hours would have a power consumption of ~300ma the whole time....
which i think is kinda excessive....
meh. i don't know.
perhaps i'll upload my usage charts later... lately on this new rom, i've been getting only 8 hours of battery :/
but it could be because i've been playing around with it too much
I am on a TMO US HD2 first generation and I am doing good if I can get 6 hrs of battery with the stock battery and normal usage. No wifi, 3/4g, no GPS, and auto screen dim. If I am using the net or something like angry birds I am down to 2-3 hrs max. I have tried underclocking and still not getting a full 8 hrs of life. Would love to find a solid rom that lasts 12 hrs or more. Ordered an extended battery so maybe that will help a bit.

Thanks for the tip. I have a second HD2 that I test builds on and I was actually in the process of installing the ROM you mentioned last night I am excited that this may be the rom to drop on my daily driver I have noticed that non GB roms (2.2) seem to have much stronger WIFI signal strength so I am hopeful this GB version will have solid WIFI signal too. Love using GB but hate the wifi issues I keep having. Thanks agian for the tip.
Well, this thread didn't go anywhere.
I'm finally trying to get up the courage to switch to a NAND rom.
I get awful battery life out of my SD build I've been playing with and that is with a 1500mAh replacement battery.
I'd hate to switch only to find myself in the same position?

battery drain on SD builds may vary from SD card used.
I can confirm that from my experience, i was not able to use the phone on the second day (total up time 1d + 12h TOP) when i was on SD builds
BUT.. while on NAND (no A2SD no Data2SD)
I can confirm that i can now use the phone for 2d + some hours, depending on use.
All battery info apps told me that battery life is Good (not excellent, not very good).
Made the switch. Battery life as good if not better than with WM and SD build. I feel the biggest improvement came when I installed setCPU.

I have to charge it twice a day, and my use is for only couple of hours talking and few browsing.
I tried that with stock as well as
[ROM] cwm-Phantom-X-
is anyone else also experiencing the same?
a few hours being like 10 hours straight talking?
You're crazy. This battery is the best I've seen in a long time.

im getting 12 hours with normal use and 8-9hours with very very heavy use(basically on my phone all day non stop)
I can drain a battery in 6 hours or less. I can't make it through a 8 hour work day without charging it. I guess you guys that go 12+ hours on a charge aren't power users. I tried every rom and kernel and my results are exactly the same.
Maybe the people who are complaining about battery life came from a flip phone or a blackberry. As far as smartphones go, this is the best you'll find for the features and enormous screen we have. Don't believe me then get an Amaze, Sensation, myTouch 4g Slide or G2x.

I dont know bout anyone else... but the only battery problems ive experienced is the fact that ive become so damn lazy on keeping the phone charged.
The battery lasts so long that i forget to charge it, and then i run out of battery
I'm a heavy user literally all I do is watch 1080p movies and plays games on my phone. I get twelve to fourteen hours every day. I also get at least a text every fifteen minutes if not more. Maybe the developers didn't remove career ciq which bogs down performance and drain the battery. You can also try a different kernel.

don't forget that in areas where you have crappy signal, you phone pumps up the power to try and compensate. you may notice your phone heating up in your pocket too. If you have no signal at all, i weep for your battery life.
go into airplane mode to save juice.
I too get 24 hours or more from light to moderate use with juggernaut.
Heavy use still nets me at least 10 hours. Although I toggle things off if I remember and don't need them. Like wifi, data, auto bright, sync, etc. although WAY lead important with this phone than it was with vibrant running cm7.

Why don't you try adding another core to your G2 and see if you can even get 6+ hours!!!
Cmon man, this is a dual core phone...it's just common sense that it will use twice as much battery power to get it to run smoothly.
But honestly, I was able to get 21hrs out of a full charge. With heavy use but i had it UC'd @ 1.2max and 192min. Still ran pretty smooth tho.
I get about 18 to 20 hours from a full charge. Stock. Non-rooted, and no modifications of any kind. I have all my apps auto-sync every 4 hours, and my usual display "on time" is around 4 to 5 hours. Here are some screen shots. This is the best battery life I ever had.
Just to add. My brightness is at 40%
is it better to use autobrightness on our device or a set brightness setting to save battery?

I'd say set it to certain level. Having the phone constantly adjust I would think would use more battery.
It feels like my phone can't last much more than a day.
Am I expecting too much juice from my phone or is this the normal amount it should be at?
Generally speaking for me I only last about 12 hours unplugged. Even when not in use on idle, i seem to lose 1% every 10-20min or so.
Someone please shed some light based on these battery screenshots and tell me if its normal or not.
Your biggest wakelock is audio out. Turn off keyboard sounds and screen touch sounds and lock sounds. Now your phone can sleep better.

You seem to have fairly frequent screen-on usage paired with frequent intervals of GPS usage (see battery graph).
Are you using GPS that frequently? If not, id investigate on why your GPS is being utilized so frequently.
I'd say based on your usage, your battery life is fairly normal.
Two hour screen time... That sounds about normal to go from full to dead. You're lucky the phone made it 12 hours. Many people get a lot less.

Two hours screen on time is normal? I hope you mean for the Verizon version..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
with wifi on the whole time, that should help the battery last longer. I'm on LTE version and my battery life is similar to yours, but on 4G.
Based on your info, I would guess that you can improve it by turning off some things going on in the background. Widgets, weather, screen brightness, anything else using lots of background data or ram?
Sleeping with 4G, sync, and GPS all on I lose 1-2% per hour. But that's with no background apps other than stock OS stuff + AVG. I normally get 2.5 hrs screen time 100%-0% on 4G over a 12 hour period.
Well there's half the problem right there, facebook, it's refreshing for updates all the time.. also, underclock your phone so the max is 920MHz might save some, unless you wanna do some gaming or something it doesn't matter. Audioout seems to cause a lot of wake time for all android phones.. seen it in the epic 4g forums. But yessiree Bob.

Normal for a lot of people. Just look at all the poor battery threads. I get 2:30h with my gsm GN running Wifi and very minimal apps which sync. My browser is inverted and my screen brightness is low.
I get good standby time, but that doesn't really comfort me as I have a powerful phone I can't actually USE.
You will hear people say they get great battery life or they are fine with 2h screen time, but I just think they don't want to admit that a $700 phone in 2012 should have better life than this.
If you ask for advice, people will tell you to stop complaining and / or get a new phone. Don't reply to them or an XDA mod will threaten to ban you. Happened to me.

With standard battery and stock ROM this phone can only give 2.5 - 3 hours screen time, which is unacceptable IMO in this day and age.
Turn GPS off, turn wifi off, don't use this app, only use that app, turn sounds off, don't increase the brightness, limit the cpu etc etc... So why did I buy a smartphone that I can't use then?

I have owned more android phones than I can count, and tried more ROMs and Kernels than you can imagine. Countless times I have seem claims of improved battery life, and until recently nothing made a noticeable difference short of not turning on the phone. I am running the latest GummyNex Rom with the Franco Kernel 15.2 and it is shocking. I have verified the last two nights by leaving phone off the charger. Night #1 -8 hours 30 minutes phone sat while I slept, on 4g GPS enabled, and used 8% battery. Last Night 8:15 phone sat, same conditions only 7% battery usage. I am using the "Franco Turtle" governor and notice not performance degradation and only incredible battery life. Very impressive
Currently using latest calk rom I get about 2 hours using my phone for browsing thr internet at home. When 3g is turned on it drains even faster.
It has always been like this. If the phone is set on idle without 3g and wifi it lasts about 10 hours.
also it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge, i feel this is too long.
so any rom that might help me? is the battery faulty?

Blazer ROM
why are you using your phone to browse all day long ? use a pc or a tablet. its a phone not a desktop pc. plus put it into airplane mode and then turn wifi on, it disables the cel/data radios hence the battery last longer. If your phone takes 3-4 hours to charge from 0-100 something is wrong with it. turn if off and charge it, cuts down charging time A LOT !
That is ridiculous. But I've been using Blazer Rom for about 2 weeks now and I always get 30 hours+ battery life. I just got 3.8 and I hit over 40 hours just this weekend.
well, um, wow, those are some ... great suggestions...
you might have a bad batt, sure.
i would think it is likely something else though.
a few things off the top of my head.
is this on a "clean install"?
is there some app you have loaded that might be pinging/updating constantly? (I'm on the exact same rom, getting all day at least)
what modem are you on?
did you flash a custom kernel?
do you know how to take a screenshot of battery usage? show us what processes are eating it?

It could be a bad ROM (bad install, not the ROM itself), but don't presume that's the case.
Measuring whether the phone is draining appropriately is difficult to do when it's in active use (e.g., 2 hours of browsing) ; thus most people measure effective drain by measuring the drain rate when the phone is 'sleeping' -- though in some cases a bad app or bad install will prevent the phone from sleeping.
I would recommend charging the phone to full, leave all default radios on (GPS/Wifi/3g), and let it sit for an hour or two. If you're losing more than ~3-5%/hour, then you have a problem.
Tools you can use:
- CPU Spy - Will show you whether your phone is entering Sleep state or not
- Battery Monitor Widget Pro - will measure your mA drain rate; during sleep, you'd want it to be at least below 20mA, ideally below 10mA (note, this app requires a couple of charge/discharge cycles before its measurements are reliable).
- Better Battery Stats -- If you find your device is NOT sleeping, this will help you figure out what applications (including the kernel) may be preventing the device from sleeping.

Your point? I could kill my phone in 6 hours too, but why would I want to do that? I play games all the time when I'm out at work or just out in general and I still get over 24 hours of battery. I never use my phone when I'm at home, that's what I have my tv and computer for.
how long has it been since you flashed? Maybe it needs a few cycles to settle. Do you have any wake lock issues? get betterbatterystats app, free for xda members, to check for kernel or partial wake locks.
I'm on BlazerROM 3.7 and getting about 1% every 2 hours on idle. It took me a week to see the battery life i'm getting now. My wife is on calks 2.8.1, I don't know what shes getting but when she gets home from work, she's still around 50%. On stock, she was typically around 30% already.
how do you get betterbatterystats for free as an xda member?
I'm on blazers and i'm at 79% battery at the 7hr mark on battery.

I have seen this "mystery battery drain" problem in other threads. There is usually an app responsible. Try Watchdog, its not bad.
I also have heard that SD card or file errors can be responsible for the drain. Formatting the memory takes care of the problem. If it were me, I would format the memory, then run chkdsk (Windoze, or the equivalent in another OS) to mark bad sectors. In the case of internal memory, you will have to do that through the USB cable. Do so at your own risk, of course

The point is you walk into someones situation and act as if their usage of the device on whatever rom your on is going to produce a parallel experience. One of the biggest factors no matter the rom is screen brightness. If you spend most of your time out doors the experience is completely different even with the same usage patterns otherwise. I love screen brightness personally, haptic feedback is nice too who cares about the battery when the experience is better?
I have games on the phone, GTA III, MC2/3, Dead Space, etc. I don't actually play them. I remote into my PC, browser the web. I have a TON of apps that use the phone idle/background. I keep steam and im+ pro going. I let TEP ping GPS data every 10 minutes. Weather widget, google voice, etc. I even have Samsung Apps installed with its oh so horrible push service that apparently rapes peoples batteries... cant say it hurts at all.
Today was a day for me where my boss was around so I couldn't use the device much and when i did it meant leaving things like a remote client on because I couldn't touch it to turn it off. 52% battery was left after 12 hours so it obviously was going to survive the 16 hours I am awake, going to sleep now so it would easily last 24 hours. But the battery being Li-Ion and me actually caring about it, its going on the charger. Tomorrow could be 30 and the next day will probably be 8 hours.
As far as the topic is progressing. Check your apps and your settings. Ive had battery life so bad the phone died on the charger. Same rom, same apps slightly different setup later and I am getting good to acceptable and that constant wake this guy is probably getting is gone.
If your using a lot of push apps, you're battery becomes nothing more than a decoration, lol. Apps like aim, kik, basically all the chat ones. Games like words with friends. The more apps you have checking for updates on top of heavy usage with kill your battery fairly efficiently

Which personally was part of the issue before on my setup. I still have them going again and battery life is decent. I mean Id want 16 hours out of a phone surely whatever my day is Ill have it on a charger by bed time.
I personally usually get 12 hours or more on days Im not using it constantly, 6 to 8 if I am using it every waking second. 24+ on days off. Haven't tried blazer in particular myself yet but Calks seems manageable even for demanding use.

I recently went 36 hours on a single charge with my typical usage. Streaming Youtube, playing music through GP Music, facebook, twitter, instagram. Then add in emails, phone calls and texts.
Yeah 3000 mah battery sucks! In all seriousness you might need to turn auto brightness on or you have apps running in the background.

Not sure if this was a question or statement.. If your not rooted, root it immediately, then remove whatever bloat you have. I would also greenify everything, and that should give you much better battery life. I went from stock rooted barely getting 3 hours, to almost 6 hours after I rooted.
Try out lux for your screen auto dimming and juice defender or green power to help out.
Battery is comparable with Note 3 if you managed to disable sync when not in use. Mine can usually last one day without changing battery.

You need to do some research and understand what you can do. I have gone as long as 70hrs on a charge.

I don't buy three days almost. Was the phone sitting in a drawer on WiFi? Did you ever use it? I get an average of 15 hours at 50% brightness with mixed usage. YouTube, Netflix, gmail syncing, SMS, calls, a few games mixed in. I average around four hours screen time. I just can't see 70 hours of usage.

I had 3.5 hrs of screen time and like I said that is my record for battery life.....no synching, no wifi notifications...... I typically average over 24 hrs on battery.easily. I'm rooted, running zonerom. People that get 8hrs or less don't have their phone set up right. Plenty of info in XDA how to maximize battery time.

Itchy. Tasty.
I just had to, sorry.
I wouldn't say battery life sucks but it is definitely not what I expected. It lasts me all day without boosting, but I can't go without charging overnight, unlike my OPO. I charge my OPO every other day. The G3 must be charged every night. Not a big deal, because I am used to charging my phone every night while I sleep. But considering the G3 and OPO are essentially the same phone except for the 1440p display, that shows what the G3 battery life could have been if LG had gone with 1080p.
Battery sucks doesn't really present much of a platform for helping you. I get all day usage from my phone on a single charge over night, that's all I ask from a phone. Screen time will vary from just shy of 4hrs to my best of 6hrs. I have 2 email that sync, web browsing, bt all day with my gear, calling and texting with minimal gps usage and turn on and off gps and Wi-Fi as I need.
Post some screen shots and let us know your usage habits, are you stock or have you rooted, what apps you use frequently and what you are doing to conserve battery life. With that information perhaps we could help out some. I will also second greenify. It does help.
