my battery drains fast and i dont know what to do.
ive installed juice defender and did everything else to limit the battery drain as much as possible.
one thing ive noticed is that my screens brightness is set to low, but on my battery stats it says Display 64%
and recently my system says 30%
i left my phone on the charger overnight. and it got unplugged from the charger, when i woke i looked at my stats and the display was at 64%
the phone signal bar was filled and it was bright yellow.
and my system said 34%
can anyone help me?
When you plug it into a wall charger, can you confirm its charging AC and not USB
How old is the battery? Have you checked all the software that are automatically sync ?
I think that you must dig deep on what's your battery being used and consider the age of the battery in there too

Yes I can confirm it, it says ac charging

@ megabiteg not even a year old. I tried screen filter, flashing diffrent radios, changing wallpapers and turning off haptic press. How do u suggest I dig deeper?

There are battery monitoring apps that you can find to monitor unusual activity.
Now your display is at 64% which is very peculiar.

Hmm I don't know what's up with it. I set my CPU low and I'm running evolved Final ROM.

Could it have something to do with sense?

Try System Panel, it's in the market. Best app I've found for monitoring battery consumption, especially when you need more details than the About Phone section under settings provides. It is a premium app, but cheaper than a new battery. Hope you find a solution quick! Battery problems are a pain.

Have you tried calibrating your battery? Charge to 100%, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (or you can use the Battery Calibration app). Let the phone discharge fully - don't plug it in until it dies - then charge back to 100% without breaks.
It could also be an issue with your usb cable or charger. Sprint can run a test on the battery to see if it is the problem. Try calibration first to rule that out, and never wipe battery stats unless you're fully charged.

I've tried the battery calibration. And I've done the wipe stats. I've read on how to recalibrate from HTC....

try charging it while its turned off then repeat the steps plainjane said. i was in the same boat as you when i flashed the evolved rom, now my battery life is pretty good.
What I just did was downgrade my radio one. My battery has been so much better in life. I am at 7 hrs right now at 66%. I have been using 4g, texting, and sending emails. Currently running Decks 1.3, SZ 2.2.1 CFS Havs.
What radio do you suggest? I'm on 1.77

Have you tried installing current widget to see what is exactly happening, or how much voltage is going through your phone, even though it's sleeping? (ie, screen off)
I have not tried yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
This happened to me a few times (with almost no apps running) on RC7. Updating to 2.01 seems to have fixed that for me.
If that doesn't help, try using a different kernel and/or a different radio version and see if that works for you (we're reduced to experimentation as nobody has ben able to determine what exactly causes this issue).
I'm well impressed with mine. I went to bed with it fully charged, used it a bit in bed, always play a game and check the forums. Not plugged in at all and woke up this morning and its still fully charged!!
Amazing, since I have yahoo messenger running always. Been using it a lot since I woke up and now on 96% but I know its mainly the screen that uses a lot.
Brilliant ROM tbh
See if this helps:

well it's not really going to save your battery life, it just lets you see when/how the battery is being used up

I have RC1 and my better life is terrible. Gotta figure out why.
Everytime I reboot my phone my battery drops a significant amount. I tried charging it in full, unplugging it, & doing it again & then wipe battery stats but its still the same. Anything else I could do?

There are different theories/methods for this. I charge to full, unplug, wipe battery stats, plug in and charge to full again, wipe stats then let it run down to about 15% and recharge and wipe one last time. People will say my way is crap but it seems to help. Also, just letting the battery run down and charging back up seem to condition the battery to your new setup. There are several little tweaks made by devs in pursuit of better battery life so it may read inaccurately at first. Let your battery settle in. I say in a day or two, you will see improvement

I know this has probably been answered somewhere before but I couldn't find a good answer. I have lost 10% battery in an hour and a half with no use other than stand by. Any tweaks within the Cyanogen settings I can make to help at all?

Did you add any kind of task killer on your phone to prevent things from running in the background all the time?
I have advanced task killer but its just an app. Its not running all the time.

And I let my battery drain all the way to 0 and charged fully from scratch with it off. It lost about 20 in an hour add opposed to 10 today.

You can set it to auto-kill. I'm actually kinda surprised you're having a lot of battery problems with RC3 though, you may just need to wait a few days for everything to stable out. When we get new ROMs we like to play with them a lot and drain the battery! I would also suggest using auto-brightness to prevent excessive screen power usage.

That's not normal for idle at all. Is the battery old and just wearing out? if it's fairly fresh (< 1 year) then it should be fine. Try betterbattery stats to see if the phone is keeping wakelocks and also CPU spy will let you know if your phone is reaching the deep sleep state.
I have the brightness not on auto because it was picking up the light right, but it's turned down pretty low. I'm about to post the results of the battery info, and those 2 apps... They're in the below zip folder...
I unplugged my phone about a half hour ago and have been using it a decent amount. Went from 100 to 80 in that time.

No matter which ROM i choose wether its 2.3 based or 4.0 based, Calks or Phantom. Even CM9, Team Dirt. I always get crap battery life. ANDROID OS and ANDROID SYSTEM hog the battery!!! Why is this. The only thing that has not changed will i have been flashing all these roms is the Modem. I am currrently running FF18 Modem. Could this be the culprit? Please help guys!
The android os usage in ICS is normal. What do you consider bad battery life?
So many things affect battery life. Low signal will wipe out a battery in no time, synching multiple accounts (email, facebook is notoriously bad...) and software you may have installed. How is the battery drain when the phone is sleeping? Since there really isn't much we can do about battery while you're actually using the phone, the next step is to improve on sleep efficiency and this will help the battery life overall.
Try installing BetterBatteryStats. There is a thread here on XDA you can search for and download and install this app. The best way to use it is to let the phone sleep on battery without using it for a minimum of 2-3 hours, overnight is best. Then view the kernel and partial wakelocks to see if something isn't allowing the phone to sleep properly.
battery battery life?
Couldn't you also use multiple profiles in an OC app to undervolt and underclock the phone when it sleeps? (screen off profile set to 800MHz and screen on 1200MHz) Just a suggestion, hope this helps.
I have to charge my phone twice a day because I am on it all the time. My ave battery life 11hr 47min. Running Badass Battery Monitor.
Turn off auto sync for your Google account on your phone and manually sync it from time to time. Before I did this android was at the top of the list in the battery. Now screen time dominates everything else in usage.

Yes I did this too, it helps a lot
Yes, synching too often is a killer.
Don't forget about the phone radio too: wifi/bluetooth/gps/data/4G all can have a negative impact if left running.
Someone recently posted that at his workplace, he had zero signal and he could barely make it through the day. He discovered turning data off entirely in that scenario saved battery in a huge way.

I lose 10% an hour (sometimes more) doing absolutely nothing with my phone. I check battery stats and like 98% is screen.
Question: how can that be possible if the screen isn't even on ?
I have tried everything. I'm running CM10 stable (which is supposed to be good for battery life)
10% an hour? This is a joke right? I have like no apps running. I even tried using apps that put the phone into DEEPSLEEP as soon as the phone/screen shuts off -- meaning every app is closed.
Nothing.
Any ideas? please help i love this phone but im going through 2 batteries a day and im not even using the phone that much.
