[Q] Battery life issue of Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I am using Runnymede AllinOne v2.1 Custom ROM on my HTC Desire. Previously I was using AcesMod007 v31 ROM and I was quite happy with the battery life. But, I am experiencing low battery life in this ROM (Runnymede AllinOne v2.1).
Q1. Does battery life depend on the ROM or any other thing (such as Kernel)?
Q2. I don't use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS. My screen brightness is always 40%. Sometimes Mobile Network is turned on. Without suggesting usage optimization, could you please suggest me a way of improving battery life on my current ROM?
Device detail-
HTC Desire
SW- Desire Runny 5.0
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.5
Sync off (Manual Sync)
Kernel version- 2.6.35.14-gingercakes-0.8e
Baseband version- 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
I will be grateful if you please help me with the issue.
Thanks-

Either kernel, which is prime suspect, or ****y app. Or both.

Apps are fine. And I don't use auto sync option. Lets assume it is related to Kernel. What do you suggest me to do?
Thank you for your kind reply, Terepin.

Change it. But look only for Sense kernels.

I know a very little about kernel things. What is AOSP kernel and where to find it? Can you please give me a link?
Thank you once again for your support, Terepin.

You CANNOT use AOSP kernels. Runnymede is a Sense ROM so you must find sense Kernels.

Upps, my bad, heh.

Well, RunnyMede AIO has been poor on battery life from the start. People have reported slightly better battery life when using snq's kernels. However, snq's kernels currently have a bug that causes it to not have USB mode.

Thanks itachi1706 for your informative reply. Now which one do you prefer me to use? Runnymede doesn't allow me to use internet pass through. Is it related to kernel anyway? :

I believe the internet pass through is a Rom related bug although some people are able to use it while others can't, but you can try changing kernels to see if it works. Snq apparently has a USB_fix flashable zip that might solve the USB issue but there are mixed results from people using it.

Well, I wasn't trying to criticize the Rom. It IS a great Rom, one of the best Sense 3.x Rom I've seen. I'm just suspecting that the battery life has got to do with the kernel as I did mentioned the fact that people are getting better battery life with snq then GC.

SNQ sorted out usb problem in his latest kernel. You can try it. Download links are in the last pages of sebastians runnymede's thread.

CM 7.1 Best radio/kernel/hboot for battery life

Hi everyone,
First time flashing cm 7.1 stable. Pretty satisfied with the beast...but the battery life has decreased from 30h to 18-20h.
Do you recommend the latest hboot? Wich kernel? Wich radio?
What are your battery stats? Do you recommend nightly?
Thx peeps
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Latest radio. As for kernel a lot of people suggests ManU. I personally use richardtrip's kernel right now.

How is your battery life doing? What about your signals strength.
Thx for sharing

I've been satisfied with my battery life. Its pretty much dependent on how you use your device so giving you an actual figure on how long it last isn't really necessary. But on my observation, its better to flash another kernel than use the one loaded with CM7.
In addition to the kernel, I use 2G and turn off data when I don't need to be connected and all that normal battery saving practices.
As for signal strength I'd say it's pretty good. I never worry about it since there is pretty much good coverage where I am at.
I'd recommend you don't mess with your radio unless you have to.
I'm using cm7.1 with latest radio (5.17.05.23) and the ManU havs-axi-cfs kernel.. It works a treat for me

What are the consequences of flashing a new kernel over the CM one?
Data lost? Any apps non-compatible? Less customization of the cm 7.1 ?

There is a little trick how can you extend life of battery to the maximum: Use your phone only in pitch black rooms. Satisfaction guaranteed!

None of that. Everything should work fine, maybe faster, maybe slower, may more battery life, maybe less... Just try.
Only make sure you are flashing an AOSP kernel and not a Sense kernel.
The hboot doesn't affect the baterry life. A2SD dos affect, as reading and writing in the sd drain a bit more battery than just in nand.
So the best hing is to use CM7r2 and not to use a2sd, and don't have thousand of stupid and useless apps.

[Q][HTC Desire][MIUI Rom][Kernel] Which kernel is optimal for powersave and oc?

Which kernel is optimal for powersave and oc?
Tiamat 4.1.0 or ManU 2.0 Kernel?
for me cm7.1 kernel is most optimal, and miui of course.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
ManU-Kernel is very good, but I recommend to test yourself (at least one week each, kernels need some time to stabilize themselves).
Thanks

Thanks for your advise. CM7.1 kernel is stable but the battery management is definitely not the best.
I made such comments because I had Nexus S as well and flashed -=NexusMV [1.11.30]=- Rom which overall performance is better than original CM rom.
Thanks!

I had tried Tiamat 4.1 kernel for more than a week. I have found the battery performance is slightly better than the original kernel from my MIUI rom but still not good enough...
I will try ManU kernel and see if this works better.
After the battery performance, I will try to OC a little bit.
Most recommend version of the ManU-kernel is the HAVS-AXI-CFS one.
Thanks again!

Besides, if Radio version is also an issue about battery live?
I am now using the latest one: Radio_bravo_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Original HTC Sense Android 2.2 rom from HK: 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
Never heard about it. IMHO radio should only be changed if their appears a problem which is radio (=hardware) connected. Battery life is not connected to hardware, but very strongly to the kernel one is using.

It is connected to the radio as well. Radio can be updated if the user has a wish to do so. The ril is the one which should be best left alone.
@op - make your mind. You asked a question about two things that are a contradiction one to another.

Good to know, thanks. As I said, never heard / read a radio update could change the battery life.
Im running MIUI AU and I find that the best kernel is the ManU 1.4 HAVS-AXI-CFS. I've tried both 1.4 and 2.0 but 1.4 seems to yeild the best results.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, MIUI roms does not have Sense.
Sebs runnymede aio v6.1 with droidzone #18 kernel, very fast and I am currently 26 hours with 30% battery left, moderate use, all simple battery saving tips used.

If I had to choose one that has the better chance of having a
better battery life, it would be the IncROM.What do you think??
Not the rom depends on battery life, it's nearly everything about the kernel (although I think Sense is also a battery drainer).
So if uses a good kernel (cannot recomend one because I do not like Sense) and one will have very good battery life.

ive recently tried using runny 5.1 (yes... purely for the swipe notification removal) and it trounces any of the other sense roms ive used, though tbh i work at a desk all day and i walk home and im not too far from a socket so power hasnt really been much of an issue.
NICE

Yeah, and how about to ask these questions
I experienced the best batery live with runnyrom but The Aio rom is with #18 kernel is also not bad
Other than kernel I believe that choose app also quite important. For me currently using runnymade ROM and the batteries is stay quite longer and it become drain fast after I install "LED me know" app.

I would recommend RSK v7.1.... The fastest nd most smooth sense 3.5 Rom I vet used... Good battery life.... No lag whatsoever....
Tried sebs AIO nd RunnyRom.... But RSK is the best....
There have been some new Sense roms released in last 10 months, including some Sense 4.1 roms.
What is the answer to the question form the original post today?
I changed from An - droid after a year with it to Alex-V, which is a hybrid rom. Same number of apps, same number of services, at this point the rom is still fresh, but is much faster than previous which was made for Desire. I can't make judgment before a month or so using it, but I was surprised with this revelation. Battery life is _much_ worse tho so I'd say general rule of the thumb is that Sense version and battery life are reverse proportionate.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
What is that hybrid? What I'm really after is this Sense lockscreen which displays unread messages, calls, and agenda events from calendar. I tried Runnymede 3.5 and RSK 4.1 but none of them had it. I only saw it on ICS Sense 4.1 ViperS for Desire S.
Hybrid = sense 2.1+3.0.
Sense 4.1 is much closer to being an unusable pile of binary data than being a rom.

I also think that the kernel does greatly for the life of the battery, the frequency (minimum and maximum)... i use isl-r4mod-kernel-bravo. This kernel use in many roms.
A rom with sense him does not last very much the battery I advise to use the roms of mildwild ... normally I use Mildwild mw-6 based of Redux. With this rom the life of battery is approximately 2 days. : Good:

[Q] What is the best Sense 3.5 based rom?

Fast and stable
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Its hard to give answer to whats best rom,but Cool3d is very good ROM(link),you can also try my ROM,its called Sense+,its a bit modified htc sense(credits coolexe),its clutter free(no unnecessary apps),very fast and stable.Website and download link.
RunnyMede AIO is the best.
Very stable and very fast, no lags.
But battery is bad on all sense3.5 so i wouldnt recomment to use them.

You have there 2 versions' i use for stock hboot. realy fast and stable
I have doubts about the stability of aio runnymede. I constantly had camera freeze resulted in boot loops. I found that RSK was far more stable

do u try runny rom?
what's the difference between 2.1 and 3.5?
I've tried Runnymede AIO 6.1.1, Runny 5.5 and RSK 7.1
To me AIO seems most stable
i faced Exchange email issue with both RSK n Runny
But all of them having issue with USB tethering, it'll keep poping up the usb connection type options and never connect my pc to the internet
so now i'm reverting back to Alex-V 1.8 INT2SD
RunnyMede AIO here as well. Stable and fast even with stock hboot.
Battery life isn't too bad on AIO, I get a day of moderate use out of it. I did need to recalibrate the battery (i.e. charge to 100% and reset battery stats), this was probably because I flashed the ROM when the phone was 40% charged.
I was using an ICS ROM last week (sandvolds), it ran surprisingly well but I had issues with multi-touch (drag zoom) and a couple of other smaller issues (slow GPS lock, occasional lock ups). Might take another look at ICS on desire in a few months.
