I would say that looks normal for you being on the phone but media is a little high there is an app you can try its called KMS media killer it basically kills your media process bug that causes your media to be higher than normal and cause battery drain look that up on Google and you should find it otherwise I would give the ROM a little more time to settle before pulling actual battery stats

Never seen a battery screen that had the phone as being double the screen. My screen is always several times higher than anything false, and the phone barely makes a mark on the battery.
I'd say you got problems.

I know I got problems, I rarely talk to anyone, use data more than voice.

I installed this ROM a few days ago and it seems to be eating away at my battery. My screen has been on for 59 mins, 68% battery left, 18 hrs standby. Ive barely used it at all. ive been purposely not using it trying to figure out what i wrong. I am coming from CM10.1. i also used battery calibration for chemistry ROM. I am on WIFI network. the battery cycle has used no 3G at all.
i also noticed that i lost about 10% battery or more overnight. i had 83 and woke up with 74. i dont think ive ever had that happen. i also had it on airplane mode so the battery should not have drained at all. someone please help me figure out what is going on.
Better Battery Stats
There is no way for us to really know what's draining your battery. You have to DL Better Battery Stats and monitor what is keeping your phone awake. Some biggies are Maps, email, and Calender. Good luck! :good:
I am on chemistry. 16 plus hours with over 3 hours screen time. Better then my evo lte. Only second day with phone though

No issues here. Try a different kernel.

*Chemistry_ROM v6

I recommend flashing Ktoonsez TW kernel and underclocking your processor and also use some of these tweaks from team kernelizers they work wonders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032956

are you a power user? what exactly is a power user? ive heard that factor matters in how long a battery should last. also, i am probably a moderate user. i dnt watch any movies, i only play temple run occasionally, text, 2 or 3 phone calls, etc.. my battery last 1 day

ktweaker seems to have made my boot up animation disappear. it has the nexus boot logo from chemistry rom. is that a big deal? also, i noticed that boot up is slow. when i rebooted my phone, the SU box came up to grant super user permission, ive done that quite a bit since installing ktweaker. i also underclocked. it that necessary with the ktweaker battery tweak? or is it like, one or the other?.. my phone seems a little laggy too.

Could be calender widget. The key is to look at the "raw stats, raw alarms" under "more" in BBS. What are the top three things waking your phone? If calender is up there it's probably the widget. I wouldn't change kernls just yet. A lot of times is just wakelocks keeping your phone awake.

how do i fix wakelocks?
Bbs is an app called Better Battery Stats. Very useful in detecting what is waking your phone hence draining your battery. Wake locks are not easily explained....at least by me they're not. You will have to do some research. I don't have links ready available..Sorry. :beer:

Hi!
I have installed Revolution rom yeaterday. Due to my small post count I cannot post my question in the rom's thread, so I will post it here.
I have noticed some lags. The first one comes when the ringtone is ringing (whether somebody calling me or when alarm clock is.. alarming). The ringing sound sounds not smoothly and normal, but rather.. mm.. stretchy, like there is some kind of CPU intensive task is going on the background.
The same stretchy sound is when I am listening to some mp3 - the audio is not playing smoothly, expecialy when I am oing some stuff in parallel, like scrolling phone's settings.
I haven't noticed any fast battery drain atm, so I doubt there's some kind of CPU-hungry process running.
What could be the problem? I doubt that 4.2 is not very fast on my DHD because 4.1 runs just fine.

Hello there! I got the same problem
I noticed its not the CPU over user, otherwise is the cpu is in sleeping mode.
If you unlock the phone and call it again, the ringtone works just ok.
I guess is a problem around the CPU governator and the minimal cpu speed. So I will try changing governators and the min cpu value.
If you found the solution please post it here Ill do the same.

They are known issues, flash the latest KangBang kernel to fix,
otherwise, for lag within the ROM, use Seeder application, use the V6 Supercharger or overclock

Use the stable kernel. I had lots of random reboots with the performance variant.
I installed Quantum 3.15 ROM a few days ago with decimalman's kernel.
I am getting battery drain with my phone doing nothing at a rate of 7-8% per hour. BBS lists the PowerManagerService.wakelock at the top of the kernel wakelock section. A little research tells me this is a placeholder for all partial wakelocks. Problem is, partial wakelocks lists nothing. So I have no idea what is really going on. Can anyone give me some advice where to look next?

+1 Having the same question. About to post but turns out you have already post it :good:
Exactly the same situation tho my battery did not drain that much but still found the powermanagerservice and main kernel wakelock had been running very long time, while partial wakelock had very few awake. Any method to decrease the running time of powermanageservice and main without rooting your device?
bump for the answer!
Anyone got it fixed?

3 days ago I flashed Android Revolution HD v33.1, the battery consumption of Android 4.2.2 really shocked me! What do you think if you turn on WiFi, watch the websites for just 15 minutes and it costs you nearly 20% battery?
Here I find some methods to fix the problem and boost battery life time a great deal!
What you need are
1. root your htc one x, and
2. an app called: root explorer
If you just use your htc one x for website watching, calling, messaging, and not for gaming, then my method will fit you well.
Now we start!
1. Most importantly, restrict the number of cores of your Nvidia Tegra 3 used.
Use your root explorer go to the folder: sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/, mount as r/w, find and long press the file: max_cpus, choose: Open in Text Editor.
There you can set the core number used by you CPU at most. Default value is 4, here you can set it to 1 or 2. The less, the longer battery life. I set it to 1 and experience no lags in device performance. Min_cpus is 0 by default mean it uses only the assistant 500MHz CPU core and no main 1.5GHz cores when sleeping.
2. Turn on power saver in settings/Power/. It will conserve CPU usage,reduce screen brightness, turn off vibration feedback, and put your device to sleep when screen is off.
3. Go to Settings/Developer options/Advanced/, turn off animation. and
4. set background process limit to at most 2 processes (or 1, 3, on your demand. The less, the longer battery life). Setting it to 2 guarantees that you can switch between 2 apps your use simultaneously, and have a chance for the app you switch to the background not be killed by background process started by android OS.
After the above all being done, you can enjoy your happy times with a very long battery life!
The attached picture shows the battery history. You can see that nearly 90 minutes websites watching with Wi-Fi on only cost you 20% battery. Is that amazing?
Attention: You should set CPU cores and background process limit again after reboot.
limit the cpu to only use 2 cores won't help that much and also can even take more battery juice then with 4 cores...but it's up to you if you want to use that...

My best result is lonelyX ROM and lyapota #23 4:20h talk time, 2h screen ON and mobile data 44h with used browser a lot.
These are just once in a lifetime chance when you happen to stumble across miraculous results. Nowadays I can still get the same standby time for only 2.5hrs of screen on time
cm11 stock kernel ... regular use (sms / call / some mail check / some facebook check)
the trick ? easy ... only connect services (net / wifi / gps / bt) whey you need them .. i have always everything off
I prefer to leave my mobile data on whenever I go since I use whatsapp alot...
A bit off topic, has anyone give the CM11 M5 releases a go? If so, how is the battery life?

I see everyone posting crazy good sot and here I am getting 3 or so with stock 8. 0 and custom kernel. Is no one using snapchat and Facebook apps on their phone? I'm trying to figure out why my battery life is not as good.
Snapchat App I don't know, but removing Facebook, definitely yes, Facebook is awesome but very battery hungry app.
Snapchat is the biggest battery hog app probably followed by Facebook and Facebook messenger. Unfortunately I use both quite a lot so understandably my battery is about half of what others get but oh well
I get like 7 to 8.5 SoT everyday on OB3 stock kernel even with facebook apk, messenger lite and instagram or whatsapp not using greenify or any battery saver just all my apps on black amoled substratum themes, this phone's battery is amazing!
Removing both not only prolongs your battery life, but also your general life
Snaochats hogs all of my battery. Sometimes it uses 30% of my battery. Way more than fb

Battery usage varies from person to person.
Your screen on time will be less even if you are not using any battery hoging apps, when the phone is idling for more than a day.
You get more SOT if you use phone continuosly.
Also screen brightness matters
You might need to get an app like Gsam Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats to see if something is keeping your phone from sleeping. Facebook could definitely be a culprit but I can't really say for sure because I don't use it.
For Facebook and Messenger use Lite version, looks bit strange at beginning but give Your phone way better battery life.
