last night my battery in wildfire was drain from around 50% to 2 % over the night. previous days i observe nothing strange about battery draining. Strange is that i didn t change anything or install any other app.
Rom: cyanogen mod 7 last stable release.... no 3g network, data connection or wifi during the night.
I dont know why, but you may install autokillet who dont let at the phone use so much memory

Task killers give a placebo effect, don't get me wrong they do what they say they do but in my eyes most apps use the most resources when first starting so is it really better to have an app start then be killed then start again and repeat this process over and over and over again, I think not.
If I was you I'd keep an eye over the next few days to see if it persists, give the phone a reboot before shutting it down for the night to clear out any apps that may be lingering in the background.

Your widget needs to be configured , it would keep trying to update you're weather every hour or whatever when there's no data available causing more battery drain.

Sorry to disturb, i'm no specialist, but is GPS on? sweep notification bar down and see.
(GPS is on my Wildie allways activated, if i play on a new nightly)
Maype thats a problem.
I think 3G/BT/Wlan is out.
I`m on nightlies and i have no battery drain.
Please do not hurt me, if 'm wrong.
Well first thing you should look into is apps like facebook, twitter, beautifull widgets and check their sync settings.
Second is to turn off GPS, WIFI, Mobile data
If they are ok, you can try with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.
I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/
You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...
Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.
i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..

Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.
update to the last radio
I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.
Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)
You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use
Hi there,
I am on the newest Leedroid Rom and his 2.0.4 Kernel
flashed the recommended Radio, but yet my battery runs out 60% in 8 hours of stand by. Had Wifi on and launcherpro, switchpro etc... nothing really special.
Any Tips for increasing my batterys life?
Thank you!
I gather the 2.0.4. kernel has issues and a new kernel will be made available as soon as Lee gets to it. In the mean time you could use 2.0.3..

if your using wifi, a good idea would be to change your wifi sleep policy, you can set it so when your device is on stanby, the wifi will switch off and the device connects to your mobile network, when you unlock your screen, the device connects to your wifi again
thanks for your replies =)
i think i'll wait for tonight kernel update, but anyways
how do some guys make their battery last for 3 days? that would be just like dreaming =D

Setting it to 2G is a good start as well, tbh if you dont use data heavily whilst outside you are more likely to download data on wifi anyway.
Twitter, email and facebook updates if you use them are fairly minimal on data/battery and use even less if you turn down the frequency checking.
The only real data hog when walking around is maps data and if you preload the location maps for your country you dont need that either.
Also install current widget, put the widget on the home screen and charge your device to 100% and leave it plugged in, then wait and keep an eye on the current widget. It will slowly drop down to 0 amp as the battery fully charges. Once that happens reboot into clockwork and delete the battery stats.
I see under my task killer (yeh i dont use it anymore) that 2 diff map programs always load. Do i need these? are they resource/battery hogs?
I have a problem with latest version of Android Revolution HD 6.1.0.
Yesterday afternoon I fully charged my phone and used it only a little bit until I went to bed and turned the phone off.
Today when I turned my phone on again (fastboot) I was shocked: Battery was at 25%.
How can the battery drain that fast over night while turned off?
I am using the correct Radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M), Superwiped before flashing new version of ARHD and also cleaned battery stats when it was fully charged.
Can you please help me finding out what is causing this?
I´m not getting that much battery life out of my HTC Desire HD either when running ARHD 6.1.0 ... Is there any RADIO that could help?
Weird - I have similar problem with 6.1 Revolution.
Battery seems fine all day, put it on my bedside table last night at over 80% battery...woke up this morning with 2% battery left!!
really weird.
Matt
I'm gonna download Current Widget now and enable the log option and see what is happening in the log overnight.
Post the log up then and see if someone can take a look.
Any news about this? I feel that mine is dropping rather fast aswell..
Saturday i installed 6.1, installed applications and used the phone.. At a total screen was on for 4 hours... After a total of 5 hours, the phone was down to 15% battery...
Does application installation take that much or is something not quite right? I feel that i had more batterytime with 5.2.4..
Now i can basically see the battery values dropping while using the phone.. I have current widget and sometimes when i start the screen and go to home screen it says way above 500mA, is this right?
Well i don't have any issues, while using ARHD 6.1 with the recommended Radio

How have you managed to have Display use up so little battery?
Mine always has about 75% and up, at the least...
I use Autobrightness with no Mod for lower Autobrightness.
I have nothing changed.
Flashed recommended Radio.
Flashed ARHD 6.1.
Done.
As you can see some harder Battery drops, while i was playing some Games. All time WLAN on. But i used it als always and had a very nice Battery expand.
Hmm, How much time is your display turned on? as i said, this saturday after i had flashed i emptied the battery in about 5 hours with screen on 4 of those.. Feels like the screen is taking alot of battery but i guess.. I had full brightness, not auto..
I don't know exactly but i would say display was active vor 15h+.
Autosync runs every 3h.
If you freshly flashed, it will take some time to stabilize. So maybe drain it until its empty/almost empty(10%) then get a full charge. Try to reboot and watch again. If you still have problems you schould install current widget and let i generate log. where you can see how much it drain if display is off and/or phone is standby.
If I put on screen from standby and check current widget i have 3mA/5mA. So if display is off the drain is very low.
hey guys...
i have tried everything to stop the battery drain
switched to many different roms
under-clocked processor to 768mhz
set a black wallpaper
brightness set to minimal
did battery calibration
switched of all background processes and made sure no location seeking programs works.
used CPU spy, the cell does go to deep sleep
tried juice defender and deep sleep battery saver
but nothing seemed to work
phone locked on full charge drains 40 to 50% in night without using.
then after a few days later i restored everything and opened airplane mode and I went to sleep, in the morning the battery didn't went low a single percent. battery health is good as works really well on airplane mode.
i have low signal issues but i get text msgs and calls with no problems at all, and my explorer and s3 seems to perform well
my all type pf connectivity is off example: location access WiFi Bluetooth etc only gsm is working, i manually selected the network and set it to gsm only rather them auto from *#*#4636#*#*.
what shall i do??
i searched and tried many things from the internet.
i really want those calls i cant always be on airplane mode, the problem is 200% of the antenna draining juice to get more signals. please help.
is there any way to stop the battery drain or restricting the antenna to consume less juice?
PS:using cm10.1 by nightly version:19 Aug 13.
anyone??
one thing more i installed better battery stats it says
no or unknown signal
no data connection
and it is running continuously like since i installed betterbatterystats.
where can i get this bug?? or disable this service??
please give a detailed explanation.
There are a few good apps to try I use
battery mix (I think this is one of the best) and wakelock detector both from my the market.

bro if ics solves the problem of battery drain due to low signal then y not... i will surely try...
i dont get a single percent drain on airplane mode the problem is surely network sucking it down... yesterday it went 100% to 48% in 8 hours in deep sleep n no wakelocks[betterbatterystats] :crying:

thank you for all your support.

now it drains 40% instead of 50% but still its not enough.
can somebody tell me how to control the modem to not search for signals that rapaidly.
Battery drain
I´m having same problems with my DHD, currently im using 4.2.2 Samsation (was it named like that but anyways 4.2.2). Without using phone it still drains 40% in few hours.. I got replacement battery from eBay and thought that would help but didnt help at all. I´ve tried different roms but would like to have newest roms without battery draining so much, so could someone share how to get it better?
And about changing radio, was there a possibility that you may brick ur device if installing wrong radio?
Thanks already!

as i mentioned bro the problem is purely regarding the network sucking down the battery my bluetooth gps wfi everything is turned off... i use 2g gsm only... if u put ur cell in airplane mode the battery doesnt goes down by a single percent. its gsm standyby sucking the battery.
and regarding the radio if u do it right and reasearch a little u wont brick it for sure. got my radio from here:http://www.icsforums.com/forum/showthread/26951
downloaded this zip and replaced the radio.img within the zip from above link.

yup there was nothing, no wakelocks etc i even underclocked my processor to 768mhz... the thing is the signal reception cause when i turn the cell in airplane mode and leave it over night the battery doesnt goes down a single percent. it acts solid.
i get around 18 asu signals at my place i check it from *#*#4636#*#*
but the thing is i was using an HTC explorer before switching to desire hd and with the gsm mode(no airplane mode) the battry stayed solid like the desire hd one with airplane mode(didnt dropped a single percent) at the same house same place.
dont know what going on.
hi. im a brand new rooter. i got a preowned s4 mini last week and decided to root it using a guide here(im very new to all of this) i deleted bloatware and use apps like greenify, setcpu, wakelock detector all to my knowledge have been done right and im still having crap battery times. worse than my 5 year old iphone 4s!
i can post any screenshot of stats upon request but from my new knowledge of all of these apps and rooting, i see nothing out of the ordinary. if im being honest, "battery doctor" seems to be a nusiance to my battery. but it often gives me reminders that my phone is draining quickly with 29 apps open that i cant delete with app master or even see on greenify. some of them are..favourite contacts, active apps manager, s planner widget, csc, remote controls, factory mode, alarm and video player. the rest are the ones above like setcpu, greenify etc.
so im asking..what now? ive seen mentioned that getting rid of touchwiz and installing a new ROM like cyanogenmodgod. but what then?
ive no idea how to understand some of this but im fine with following instructions with technical stuff i.e rooting my phone in the first place.
i really hope i can be helped as im really liking my first android experience bar battery life

notice how battery doctor has many aps as being in the backround even though i greenified them AND turned permissions like "always on" to OFF so there isnt a reason why they should be on.

If you go to settings > Battery > Battery graph , does it show the phone actually sleeps? (the "awake" bar)
I attached a screenshot , if the bar is compleatly highlighted , this means the phone does not go in sleep.
If this is not the case , i suspect something is wrong with you battery.

nope..the awake bar does have bits missing (being asleep, right?) i seem to be getting acceptable charge times as of late..some games make the phone very warm and do destroy battery % but so did them games on my iphone 4s. this phone isnt brand new..it is almost new..im "happy" with the battery times now but not so much as i expected better times than my 4s but its about the same at best. i may try an OEM battery someday and see if that gives me even a 10% increase.
any advice on charging? took me about 2.5 hours to fully charge..about 1.5 of them hours, i had the phone turned off..the rest was on airplane mode

That indeed means the phone is sleeping.
What kind of Screen on time are you getting ? do you leave bluetooth / 3G / Wifi on all the time ?
3G and especially 4G is a huge battery killer.
EDIT
About the charging , i generally just charge my phone at night functioning as a clock since the battery lasts me a full day.

i have wifi only on. its on most of the day, i turn it off while i sleep or if im out and about with no hotspots about.
i seen on youtube something about a faster touchwiz thats available here..it apparently helps battery life?
also nova launcher may help with battery life too?

Other launchers probably won't help with battery life.
I'd suggest turning off any radio's you don't use and (off course) keep the brightness low. What kind of screen on time are you getting ? (Settings > battery > screen )
