I was JUST able to get into MIUI and now I'm loving it. However, the battery life seems horrible compared to CM7. I froze the stock launcher and I'm using ADW, but still. Am I the only one here that has this problem? Any solution?
Definitely not normal for miui, which has some of the best battery life on aosp. I get about 72 hours with moderate use and extended battery. Run a 'dumpsys power' command from a terminal and check for wake locks.

What will this command even do once I run it successfully (if I even can)?
Did you run them as separate commands?
-first command: 'su'
-it will request su permissions- hit allow
-second command 'dumpsys power'
-scroll down to mLock and wakelock. values should = 0.

What kernel are you using? The default bundled with miui is from CM7 i believe. I use Tiamat kernels (1.1.3, ATM). Also check what's using your battery under settings>system>battery>battery usage. It doesn't monitor by default, so you may have to enable it and check back in 24 hours. There's still (i think) a glitch that only shows display as 2% of total, but you can still get an idea if a certain program is at the top of the list, it might be to blame. I'll help if i can.

If the kernel for MIUI is the same as CM7, then that's the one I am using. Is the one that you use any better? I looked in one of the stickied threads here but I wasn't able to find any kernel downloads.
Cell standby is using 35%
Android system is using 30%
Phone idle is using 26%
Voice calls is using 5%
Media Server is using 2%
Display is using 2%
And the rest is just a bunch of apps that are using 1%
I use Tiamat 1.1.3 and use the 2x battery app from the market. It really helped and my battery (stock) is holding up pretty well. I did also recalibrate the battery as well once loading the new kernel.

What are the benefits of using Tiamat over the kernel from CM7 and where can I download it? Is 2x Battery better than JuiceDefender? Also, how do I recalibrate the battery?
2x Battery is very quick to switch and not at all invasive like Juice felt. Just search battery calibration app in the market and use it. Green Android guy icon with a percentage symbol on it. Here is the link for the kernel: http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_inc2/

So I just flash this in Clockwork or what?
Yes. Just flash via clockwork. You're gonna wanna clear dalvik cache before you flash.

No, I have never touched an overclocking app. I've always left things how they were. Never overclocked unless it was against my will (i.e.: installing a new kernel).

I'm down to 25% after only nine hours and I don't understand why.. Lol I'm confused for real I thought rooting would improve it. And I've only actually used the phone for probably 50 minutes. Any help or suggestions
Sent from my Dinc running cm7 with incredikernel
search around for suggestions. to start off control data usage,sync control,use auto brightness,turn toggles off you don't need uninstall or freeze apps especially those that run in background for no reason that fail to cache. use a different kernel. do some undervolting. overclock and underclock when necessary.use tasker to setup screen off/on profiles for different min/max frequency ranges and governor selection,use apps to monitor usage such as drain guard and cpu spy. check apps that hog too much unwanted usage. the list goes on. if you do your research you could save yourself 70% of battery usage. using tasker alone saved me around 30%. for example my phone is fully charged before bed,I sleep about 6-8 hours while listening to music and I have about 80% once I'm awake.nothing on besides the phone's cellular radio,no gps,no data on,no 3g,no wifi,etc. not even airplane mode so sms isn't queued all night. tasker can also auto turn off gps once gps based apps are killed so it's not always on,plenty of threads on battery saving tips,majority aren't all device specific so they're universal tips

agreed rooting won't do anything for your phone unless you put it to good use (uninstalling bloat apps, loading a custom more battery and performance efficient kernel, same with a better ROM, as well as countless performance/battery mods)
There are so many ways to improve performance and battery life on your phone with root, but you have to actually apply them to your phone.

Rooting doesn't improve battery life. usually a custom kernel or rom will improve battery life. It all depends what you are running in the background. With Nil's Gingersense 3.5 (2.2) and tiny's latest kernel I am getting unbelievable battery life. This is in part to how well both of these things work together along with the removal of all the bloatware. I have found that if you run Yahoo IM, it tends to kill your battery faster as well. Make sure to set most of your sync options to manual or every few hours as well. It won't impact your gmail or gtalk settings.
I understood that just rooting wouldn't change a thing. I just miss worded it lol. I was already running cm7 and incredikernel. I just hadn't realized I had 2 apps running in the background killing my battery
just flashed tinys last night and waiting to see how it works. I have two batteries and one lasts much better than the other and they have both been treated the same as far as charging and discharging....
I am trying to figure out the best setting for the rom. I am only getting like 6 to 8 hours on my phone. When I've seen others get close to 24 with light to moderate use. Like I stated in the Title The rom is Dewizzed 2.0, and I know the some people have the same rom while using tuner pro. I would ask the dev in the devolpment section, but I don't have permissions to do so. Also Hello everyone in xda. I am a long time visitor since the G1 days. I made this account a long time ago, but recently got tired of touchwiz, and decided to give it the boot lol.
from what I have heard... for dewizzed... if you use Faux, just flash gideon's script you might want to bump the clock just a bit over 1ghz to make it smoother... i believe synergy kernel works really well with dewizzed from the getgo (haven't tried it i get good results from faux).... if using gideon's script.. don't use a cpu tuner, you want to manually adjust the values in the script.

See this is where I seen people on here talk about scripts. While yes I hear great things about it. I'm pretty stupid in to what it it, does, or how to apply lol. As to say why My idiot self uses setcpu, but apparently setcpu gets stuck on conservative which was creating a noticeable lag. Which in turn lead me to tuner pro. Which in turn leads me to look for the appropriate settings I want. Just don't know how to achieve that. Things sure have changed since the G1. -sigh- Sorry if I'm more of a pain in the bottom. :\

scripts are basically tweaks to your phone. They're PreProgrammed tweaks that runs when your phone is booted.
Basically gideon's script controls your phone's clockspeed and voltages without the need of a 3rd party app. Therefore when running tuner pro it overrides the script... go to faux's kernel thread... it's in the 3rd post. You flash the script through cwm.. check out synergy's thread for its own configuration.. i haven't really checked it out yet (i should)... heard great things about that kernel
Here is a link to Gideon's scripts. Before you flash them uninstall system tuner, and wipe cache and dalvik. I suggest putting the revert script on your sd card also. In case your phone doesnt like being under volted. You can boot into recovery and flash the revert script.

I am running Dewizzed 2.0 with Synergy kernel and using System Tuner Pro, 1.62max 384min, 384max and 192min with screen off and am not UV because Synergy is already UV. Getting well over 21 hours of use, light to moderate usage,
Sounds like you have a app that is using a lot of battery.

lol 1400/200!?!? theres ur 1st problem. use voltage control instead of setcpu and stick with 1000/100 or 1100/100. i always found cfq and conservative to be nice for battery, but apparently noop/ondemand is best. maybe try both. also turn data off when not using it most importantly. also try using the auto-start manager in the ROM Toolbox app (free in market) to disable most of ur apps from staying open or updating widgets constantly in the background. freeze system apps you don't use. forget the v6 supercharger, and i'd say stick with the stock kernel. hope that helps..

If you turn of 3g data, you can still send/get phone calls and texts but no email
Also, undervolt you frequencies with voltage control, I don't think you have to go to stock kernel, but do as you please I would imagine the dark blacks from voodoo control would save battery. But anyways, Marcusant had a great guide for setting up any kernel for your phone, ill try to find it..

Im running Stock Build 31 on EL30 modem and no custom kernel nor am I oc/uv. I have very few apps and I have no widgets running and im getting horrible battery drain. I purchased the 1800 battery which is a few months old and I just dont know what to do.

Nope cpu spy shows how much time the phone is in different mhz.. like if you turn off your screen it will go into deepsleep and when you open the app it indicates how much time the phone has spent into deep sleep...

holy sh*t the android system is raping your battery, well I love wicked roms(ICS) awesome battery and super smooth. You can also check out FrostyICS and FrostyJB those are also really good ROM's. I personally like ICS ROM's as they are more stable and don't have minor issues that some the JB ROM's have.
Check out post #3112 and #3113 in the WickedV7 thread and check out the battery life pic people posted on that ROM.
GO to the Play store and download no-frills CPU control or set cpu and check and see what you Min and max is for your CPU.
I have an extended battery and after 4 hours i was at 65 or 70% which is way off!!! I check this and it showed that my min and max was at 1024 once I changed the min to 384 everything got better

When it comes to battery life, there are many thing that you can do to improve it.
First off, turn autobrightness off, and try and keep the brightness slider as low as comfortably possible.
Dark, if not completely black background are not only sick looking, but they help with your battery life.
Less widgets, especially ones that require frequent updates...like weather widgets, and facebook widgets will wake
your system up to update. I suggest removing most, if not all of your widgets from your home screens.
Download an app like setcpu, nstools, or voltage control to set your min and max frequencies. In setcpu, make some profiles for screen off to
make sure your system isn't throttling up while your phone is not in use.
Change your governor and i/o schedulers. With a high end device like this, you can comfortably sit on conservative governor without experiencing bad lag...i/o schedulars wont effect battery life too too much but simple ones are best (like sio).
Run v6 super charger, kickass kernalizer, and 3 script to improve the way your device runs, and battery life. Stick to wifi when possible. Having low signal will cause your phone to constantly look for a better signal which will prevent it from deep sleeping.
Use titanium backup to freeze unnecessary processes, such as DRM protected content.
Download one powerguard to help also.

This was mentioned in another thread. DL this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep
It shuts down one of your cores when the phone isn't in use.
Also DL CPUspy. This will show you exactly how often your phone is using certain frequencies, and whether or not it's going into deep sleep.
It looks from your screenshot however that your standby battery is not the problem, it seems to shoot down when in use (at least I'm assuming that was from when you were using the device).
Click on "System" and take a screenshot so we can see what's going on

Error is the first thing listed. Have you tested the battery by doing a full reset and flash, then not installing any apps? If this is happening across roms and builds its most likely one of your apps not playing well with the system.
Before your next flash, go into dev options and turn on Show CPU Usage. Then let us know what processes seem to stay at the top all the time.
Also get cpu spy from the market and after letting it collect its data for a while (especially when not using the phone) check it to make sure its going into deep sleep.
After those two, do your clean flash and run without installing any apps for a while. Then when you do install them, do not restore from a backup. Download them fresh from the market. Also do not restore any backed up data, at least at first.
When you do flash your system, download the full firmware to your computer (use root66 if you want to keep root). From recovery choose format data, this will wipe your internal sdcard, btw.
Now boot into download mode and using Odin, flash the firmware you just downloaded.
Once done charge back to 100% and see how it goes.
You can get the firmware from my stickied thread in development.

As long as you follow instructions, and make sure you have the correct fw for your model, Odin is actually quite easy to use.
Restoring apps and especially data can cause all kinds of issues when jumping between different builds and especially android versions. The updated apos and system often have different database structures, different data files, and even different storage locations sometimes.
I'm betting this is where the problem will be.
I understand not wanting to go through all that I mentioned, but if you want to know where the problem originates, you have to start removing variables to narrow it down.
If you don't care what's causing it, jump to the flash. Nandroid backup, wipe everything, odin flash, test. If all is well, restore the data part of nandroid. If problems start again then you know its either your apps or data causing the problem.
Odin instructions are in TheExels thread stickied in this section.

I flashed the honeycomb battery icon. I have another app that I've been using (Android booster) that is a task killer. it shows my battery life, it was right on before the new icon but now they don't match up the widget says I have 10% more life in my battery then my battery icon on my status bar. Is there any way to fix this problem? or should I just deal with it
Thank you in advance

1st off, I'd recommend dumping any "task killer" as the GN2 has this functionality built in, especially since we're talking about battery performance...
2nd, I'd concentrate more on wakelock settings, and if I had to download any app it would be those that helped manage this. This way you can force everything to sleep when your not using your phone...
Also, depending on the governor, you may need to adjust your phones clock throttling upon waking/using the device, custom may be your best bet, but there might be a "built-in" profile that works perfectly for your particular individual usage

For some reason, I seem to only be able to manage about 5 hours of screen time. I've heard of people getting 6-8 hours.
I'm using this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150145 but for some reason, that thread isn't very alive..
I tried the jedi ROM, but I just can't stand it when developers change little things about the UI. Is 5 hours normal for a ROM that's mostly stock? I'm using the UNEAK kernel.
