Battery Usage

I'm noticing a big battery drain from my screen, just curious what other peoples usage is like and what you have for brightness settings:

I've always had the understanding that your screen should use the most. Here is mine in HORRIBLE coverage (no bars and back and forth from 3G to 1x) normally my screen % is pretty close to yours. I am running aokp build 38 with auto brightness oc to 1113 max 245 min uv -1 step across the board with smartassV2 governor and noop scheduler.

Mine usually looks like yours. Only difference in our setups is I'm on the v10 kernel. (Not 10.5)
Another way to increase battery life/decrease that screen percentage is to use custom backlight settings and levels. I found some in a thread here a while back that helped my battery life significantly on the stock battery. Using the same setup as above poster and the custom backlight settings I get ~3 days on an extended battery with light usage.

I think 10.5 is not great on battery life.

I can provide the v10 kernel via Dropbox if you guys want....I haven't seen it anywhere lately.
Credit to Aeroevan of course for the the awesome kernel.

Ive been running aeroeven v9 for a couple days now and I'm liking it, so I'm a little hesitant to try v10
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I'm also running Aeroevan's CM9 (7/12), but using the 10.5 kernel. No overclocking, and I have the brightness on auto at all times. Have the wifi on when at home, scarcely have GPS on. Sync on all the time. I usually get two days of battery life, but at that point the battery goes down to under 10%, so I usually charge at least once a day to keep it higher.

Try one of the custom kernels....my battery life improved using Franco's latest version. I got through a whole day without plugging in which never happens.

What ROM are you using though ? I'm paradigm , I'm thinking of trying stock idk yet xD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Kernel or rogue app.

I have tried so many kernels and roms including cm10, aokp and slimbean but in all of them the same 'media' process is taking 40 to 50% of my battery even in standby. Is it some app that might be responsible for this drain?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Most likely an app.

Can you recommend me the best way to find out which app is it? I have uninstalled 80 apps and still the problem persists. There are only 40 apps on my phone now, mostly trusted ones like viber whatsapp etc so kindly recommend me the best possible way to find out which app is responsible for the drain
thanks

I was reading in another thread that the viber app was causing battery drain for some people. I will see if I can find the thread.

I'm seriously confused now ...i have installed paradigm rom and also slimbean again with stock apps only and still the problem persists ...is it possible that some of the files in my internal storage might be being used up by GAPPS constantly and causing the drain? :S

Use an app called Better Battery Stats - this app will help you determine which app may be keeping the phone awake.

I was having some pretty abysmal battery life with google now enabled,but since I've disabled it I've noticed a upswing in battery life.

Kernel controls and battery life issues.

For the last few months Ive been using the thread located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599025 while this does great help to my phone I still have a hard time keeping a decent charge. Lately Ive found that It takes an incredibly long time to charge however, it seems less time for it to go dead. What am I doing wrong?

hows your usage? post your battery stats and screen on time from tbe phones main settings, battery.

Now this is just standby time...this is including minimal usage

Screen on time sir.
And screw the 4G. The max screen on time i see for people using 4G is 2h+, a GSM gnex can normally achieve 3h-4h+.

BatteryLife is great since first release.
Must be an app problem. Android-OS and Android-System must be under 4% of total consumption, then your setup is OK.

somebody with f*cked lock button can't turn off sweep2wake or else he\she will be throwing his\her HOV against walls

I uninstalled each and every app except whatsapp and power amp but still there is a loss of 30% battery overnight.
Battery stats were something like this.
Everything is same this time except governor is ondemand.
And one more thing. When i woke up today i found that my HOV was pretty warm.
Yesterday morning also the situation was very same.

I've didn't change any performance setting on the rom and I've installed crossbreeder and turboboost mod. I've a lot of app installed. battery stats are like this.
(it says 14 hours 7 minutes 20 seconds on battery)

Just an idea
Leave sphongle as it is
And then make separate experimental build
Or best don't even port halo, it's ****ty
But if u have the time, camera calls to u, that's all what most of us needs, except some people

It works for me, and our ROM, luckily. No hangs seen it.

Okay...here is something i did..
Last nyt i allowed battery to drain down completely....
When it came down to 4% i purposely increased screen brightness to maximum and turned on gps....was quite surprised to see...battery stayed on 4% at least for 45 mins....
And then when it drained out completely i put on charge. ..
Allowed it to charge till morning....
And now m noticing a slight increase in battery life...
With the same amount of use...as i do daily....battery is giving better response....
I think charge is there in battery...but d phone is not reading it properly...i suggest yu guys to drain it completely and charge to 100% in one go....
Hope that helps...

Both are completely different . .. not comparable ... I prefer cm ROMs for better battery and customization.. and shpongle will be faster .than stock .. but stock has awesome camera and and some HTC stuff

Actually Sense and Aosp both are good at their respective places..
If you need performance customizations and loopy smoothness .. Go for Aosp .. I would say that shpongle is the best over here..
While Sense has quality .. Camera and keyboard are the main attraction for a sense ROM .. But the HTC Sense consumes RAM at a high rate..

Try and see for yourself
We can tell you stories for pro and con, but, unless you try for yourself, you can't be sure...
Knowing that you can change roms more frequently as your underpants, it's easy... Just do it! :victory:

I know, but I have to see how strong and many positive feedbacks are

see my battery is back to normal, and not drain too fast
first of all try to charge your battery to 100% after that open app battery calibration (http://d-h.st/DR1)
after that hit the calibrate button and power off your phone and take out the battery for 2 - 5 minutes, after that boot up your phone and keep discharge until battery is low, and when battery low recharge your phone untill full and recharge again
install pimp my rom (http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=com.androguide.pimpmyrom)
and open menu kernel, after that go to i/o schedulers
hit enable disable i/o stats to avoid overhead on device
and go down again and search vsync
select re-enable vsync and close that app, after that use your phone normally until battery level is low, and give a full charge untill 100%
and try how your new battery
ok that's all i know, hit thanks button if i help you :good:

lemme try this!

Ok I hope will work for you:thumbup:
