I have been using MildWild CM7 for a couple weeks and have been having good battery life(lite usage). However 2 days ago I upgraded my wireless router to a wireless N and the battery life of my phone has dropped. I went down 30% in 9 hours of the phone just sitting there. this is not normall. When I installed it I changed the setting the turns wireless off when the screen is off(I did this right after I installed the rom). Is it possible the wireless N is causing it to drain faster? and is there a way to disable wireless N on the phone?

Hi
Had a problem with my Desire over the last few days. From full charge the phone is dead in about 15 hours, most of the discharge seems to happen in the last 6-7 hours i.e charge was full before I went to sleep last night and this morning it has 5% left.
Now I haven't recently installed any new apps, phone hasn't really been used and is on standby most of the time, I don't have any e-mail or other sync's going on. Only thing running all the time is Bluetooth, but up till a few days ago phone was holding charge for 2-3 days. Now as said it dies overnight.
Any thoughts?

Try to recalibrate your battery cache.
or
Check what has/have consumed or caused the drain (apps, syncs, OC, weak signals, settings, etc.).
Try other ROM and/or other kernel.
or
your battery or your Desire has just given up its live.

Which ROM do you use?
It could also be a hardware malfunction. I had the same problem with huge rises of battery temperature. I took my phone for warranty repair. They changed the motherboard. Now it works flawlessly.
I am using Redux 1.2 and can get two days of moderate use.
Other thing that could cause it is Rom. With Stock ROM the battery usually drains faster. Also check how many Widgets you're running and if you have any GPS or Bluetooth on.
Check if you have 'best wifi performance' ticked in Settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>menu>advanced
I have noticed it rapidly drains the battery.
i think mines heading that way also

Hi,
Updated to gingerbread 2 days ago on my Desire HD and the Wireless / Data connections have gone mad and draining battery!!
I use green power free to manage my connections and have been getting up to 2 days on one charge, moderate usage.
I am now on my 4th charge in 48 hours since update. Last night phone was 100% charged at 10pm this morning at 6:30 it was off and no charge.
It does not seem to be able to decide between wireless or data connection and keeps switching between the 2. I have turned green power off. No difference. If I try to manually switch off wireless etc through settings it just comes back on again???
Any ideas?? (I'm unbranded on Orange contract)
Same problem here after GB update.
Phone is NOT rooted.
I hope someone has a solution for this problem.
The solution for me was to remove 'Green Power Lite' app. There seems to be a conflict with the app and the mew gingerbread wireless management.
I have had my phone off the charger for 48 hours now and have just hit the red.
Something has changed recently. I was getting up to two days out of a charge. My battery life was amazing. (GSM GNex Codename Android ROM.) Now I'm lucky to get 8 hours. I recently made a bunch of changes to my phone, including a ROM and kernel update, and a bunch of new apps. I suspect an app may be the problem. I need some suggestions for figuring it out.
The battery settings app shows 57% of my battery usage was from bluetooth and I have not even been using any bluetooth devices. Nothing else was even close to this much battery usage. The next highest percentage was screen at 18%.
In the past I left Bluetooth turned on all the time for when I did connect a Bluetooth device. Even with it on, I got up to 2 days of battery life with moderate usage. So fixing the new battery drain issue is not as simple as turning Bluetooth off.
Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.
My S3 is normally have really great battery life with disabling unnecessary features and turning off unnecessary functionality. With normal use and with wifi one it has battery life more than a 36 hrs. But at work because of poor signals I hardly gets 20 hrs. and I can understand that problem with poor signals.
But, Ones and while battery dies in 3- 4 hrs. I fully charged my cellphone at night and took the charger off mid night Battery at 40% in 4 hours. without use , where no application or wifi, data plan running. and many time it just die if I don't get up in midnight. This happen so randomly no proper time duration. some time no issue for month or week. Some times I seen this behavior in day time, phone got really hot... I just restart phone and it will fix the issue.
I didn't root my phone running on Jelly beans. Should I contact Samsung or bestbuy from where I purchase.

This is a daily problem for me ever since I bought my device so I got used to it. Rooting the device with a stripped down ROM fixed my battery life issue. But I reverted to stock in anticipation of the 4.1.2 update for the i747.
I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3 the other day via USB cable and Samsung's KIES software, and it first everything seemed fine. The phone seemed to respond faster and so I was happy with the update. However, in the past 24 hours or so, I've noticed some major battery / charging issues.
First, last night, I charged the phone up fully while watching TV around 8ish, and by 10 or 11 it was almost dead again (and I hadn't really been doing anything on it during that timeframe). Then, overnight, I had it plugged in to charge, and when I woke this morning it was EXTREMELY hot (the battery I assume) and had a message stating "Charging paused - battery temperature too high" although it seemed to be almost fully charged. I turned it on to airplane mode, left it unplugged, and went back to sleep for a little while longer, and when I woke again it was much cooler and the battery had hardly drained. Now, I just turned it off airplane mode and it's getting slightly hot (although nothing near how hot it was earlier) and the battery seems to be dropping at a much more rapid rate - from 93% to 90% in the past few minutes.
Anyone have any ideas?? Do I maybe need a new battery? Just an FYI - I'm not using the USB charger that came with the phone - I've been using others - could that make a difference?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I expect that it's probably the same problem that I described in my topic. In short, if you disable wifi location reporting you should experience much better battery life, but if you want to use location reporting you'll have to wait for a fix.
So, one setting that I've changed that has helped has been: Settings -> Connections tab -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> Always
Now, when I'm at home (or elsewhere that I have a constant, good wi-fi connection), my battery actually lasts most of the day. However, I still notice that when I'm out and about, the battery drains extremely quickly. It seems (although I'm not 100% on this), that it drains faster when connected to 3G than when connected to a 4G network. Still, I never had this issue when I was running Android 4.1.2, so I'm wondering if anyone has any other optimization or configuration change tips that might help me get my battery life under control?? Thanks!!
