For the past month my battery has been going haywire. Its been dieing at 10-20%. And sometimes it will get to 0% then randomly jump to 15%+
I've tried battery calibrator app on several roms followed all the guides but after learn detect and a full charge it never updates the battery's age.

Have you tried following the battery calibration method on for example Cyanogenmod?
I've tried it several times on seb15's runnymede rom, but it would also never update the battery's age. Therefore I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 and it worked the first time, after that just flashed back seb15's rom with droidzone's kernel22 and my battery is still calibrated
That's the rom I'm on now and its failed 3 times

Hi,
Try to install Juice-Defender its very usefull,just organize it how you like,and it will save your phones battery.
I use runnymede aio s/e beta and no problems at all, seb even explains in OP about calibrating the battery, just follow his guide.

Hey XDA community I have been having problems with battery life on my Desire ever since I put the Starburst rom on it. I searched a solution to this on google and came across "kernels". I know how to install them but well I dont know which ones are considered good or bad and such. Could anyone make a suggestion to me?
I am running version 1.3.3.5 of Starburst
My kernel according to the software info screen on my desire is as follows:
2.6.32.15 - froyo _ bravo _ V 5 root @ alhena #9
Unless the entire StareBurst rom thread is filled with battery life problems it's not kernel related. Probably a bad app/setting or you imagening battery issues.

I dont think I am imagining it, you see on the Default software my phone was capable of a day to a day and a half.
Now on starburst its laggier and the battery just runs down. In 15 minutes of standby the battery ran down 2% just doing nothing. (I have a class 4 8gb Kingston SD)
Now, im not saying it is nothing I did but still a helpful comment or suggestion would be appreictaed as opposed to an acusation of imagining things.
I answered your question and gave two other options. From there searching will help you. It's not the first question about battery issues.

Sorry, I didn't think that reply through as I was rushed. I will try searching some more and checking my apps for battery drain issues.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Battery drains really fast, done a battery calibration but nothing, phone is only a year old ish and when its on charge it sometimes says full when its lower than 100% see picture below.
I had the same problem with charging.I charged it few times when it was turned off and now it is back to normal to 100% fully charged. About the drain issue try different kernel if you are using a custom rom!

Just switched to MildWild CM-2.8 and its charging fine, recommend a different kernel even with this rom ?
I had a mildwild rom for about a month and battery life was great but if it still drains you can try ManU kernel! I didn't try it but people say it's great!

No, not on oxygen derivatives. Uses different camera drivers so that doesn't work, but think other things won't either. Have to stick with the _thalamus kernels, which I believe are pretty good too. Same .35 base?

It could be that theres a bunch of apps running in the background?
Without a process manager I find my battery doesn't last as long.

You are right! My mistake
i use task killer and let apps close when screen is off, dont use any apps though really just facebook really. Using nighty 258 now battery seems better but have to data Wi-Fi is a killer :/ last about 5 hours with wi-fi on, having mobile data on is just as bad.
One shouldn't use a task killer app with Android. It does more bad than good, in terms of battery life.

at this point we don't know what ROM/kernel zakkkkk is using, so droidzone's may not even be compatible.
calibrating does not increase battery life, just might stop if from shutting down suddenly at a higher than normal percentage.

so what rom/kernel combination are you running at the moment, did this occur after flashing something/installing an app?
in the battery usage, is it shown as awake during this time? i would check using something like betterbatterystats to see if anything is accidentally keeping it awake.
if there is still a problem, make a nandroid and do clean install of your ROM or 2.3.3 RUU without installing anything else, see if the problem still persists. may then be hardware.
(can't remember exactly, but i think the dialer issue could have been a gb sense error, which reported it much higher than it actually was actually using. i remember clicking the dialer battery use and seeing the actual cpu usage and runtime was minimal)
im using droidzones supernova rom and have been using it for about 6 months now. my battery life has been excellent. this problem only occurred today. i installed a few apps/games over the weekend but i dont know which one is causing this. i have also tried uninstalling a few but with no affect. are the any apps in the market that show which apps are draining battery?

sounds like you've partially answered your own question...
if you were having excellent battery life, then suddenly went bad after installing something, then this is the likely cause...

instead of flooding all other threads I thought of creating one of my own.
I am running ARHD 8.1 with faux kernel 006. Previously I was on stock kernel with ARHD but due to poor battery life I flashed faux kernel. With gsam battery monitor I saw that my HOX kernel is consuming 40% of battery. After flashing the kernel it remained the same. What is the matter I don't know. Is this the reason of poor battery life? This is my screenshot:
I also
Installed system tuner. The CPU is always running at 1ghz and doesn't allow me to change it. What could be the problem. I am totally messed up.

I noticed that you seem to have flashed and done a lot of mods to your phone.
Try flashing it back to stock, leave it that way for a week and let it stabilize.
You're doing too much expecting magic instantly.

Thanks but how to flash it back to stock? And does HOX automatically turns on when fully charged? It happened to me everything I charged my device when it was on.
Should I revert back to stock or should I wait for a few days with ARHD+faux kernel?
Btw I have installed system tuner. Any settings you recommend to save up more juice? I am a total noon with all these.don't wanna duck up my device again. I am leaving with full charged. Let's see how it goes.
P.S. just checked the battery consumption and these are the stats:
Kernel-42%
System(HTC launcher)-9.2%
Internet-2.3%
Charge is draining by 1% every 30 secs. Wow.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I use watchdog to see what's using the cpu and causing battery drain. Maybe try that app?
I agree with the poster above- go back to stock and wait it out..
If all fails then you might even have a faulty battery which is covered under warranty, but because of unlocked bootloader its risky trying to claim it.

Dude. Flash to stock. Don't install any battery apps. Wait one week.

Oh yeah. Don't install system tuner, setcpu, anything. Leave it stock.

can u guide me or send me a link on how to flash to stock rom and kernel
1. Find the correct RUU for your devices. They are in a stickied thread in the development section.
2. Flash stock recovery.
3. Relock boot loader. (fastboot oem lock)
4. Run the RUU.
To find the right RUU, use fastboot oem readcid and post your cid here and I'll tell you if I know the RUU. I'm not sure where to get the stock recovery, but this is what I've read others say about returning to stock.
Sent from my HTC One X
i am on ARHD which is stock so do i need to flash stock recovery. where to get the RUU and stock recovery? even on the stock kernel with ARHD i was getting my kernel using 40%. so should i just change the rom? if so suggest me one rom
edit: i went out at 9:00a.m with 100% came home at 1:30 with only 14%. had two reboots and only1hr screen on. there cant be anything terrible than this. will charging it again and again work. also the cpu doesnt fall below 1200mhz. its between 1200 1400 and 1500. i just want good battery life whether its dual core or quadcore. charge was 20% just after 1sec it fell to 14%. app usage is 54% with 41% consumed by kernel

You might have something eating your battery. And yes, you do need to flash stock recovery in order to run an RUU.

I installed cm10 and battery life is so far good. Just on my first charge cycle and got 35% left with 2hr 18min screen on. Is it good?
You cant really tell with your first cycle, you seem to keep a rom for a couple of days complain then switch. You need to wait a week or so to let the battery settle so to speak.
That sounds great to me. I usually get to 15% with 1hr 48m screen time.

Exactly. He has made a bunch of posts over a short amount of time.
My battery life is very good on stock rooted. Run stock for a week and let it calibrate. 1 days results are meaningless.

Good or bad we don't know. Depends on usage type of data used, signal, screen brightness, auto sync and various other factors that can contribute to draining of the battery.
But that seems average anyway so not that bad.

Run arhd super wipe Install a clean rom like aosp and don't install any apps, seems like you have a rouge app do you restore apps from titanium? Use watchdog like mentioned it will alert you when any app is being naughty and running cpu when not necessary.

Hi guys, I have massive battery stats problem. I was yound and stupid when i came to xda. I wiped my battery stats two times while I was running arhd 15 i think. I am running the same rom without any updates but I have problem. Once I wiped my stats when hox had 30% battery and once he was 100%. So when I take him from charger he is good for 5 minutes and then he shuts down and gains some battery loss. Then he is ok untill 30% when he shuts down again and losses 20%. Can somebody help me, will the flashing kernel boot.img help? And will the factory reset help? Please someone I am desperate.

Weird :S
Wiping battery stats doesnt make a difference to that
Either you have a faulty batteyr, or its a software issue.
Make a backup of apps and stuff,
then wipe data/factory resrt in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and flash another rom with its boot.img (IN fastboot)
Try Blade, amazing battery
I am using blade right now, I saw your comment and installed new hboot and the Rom. I must tell it is great. It didn't crash one time, but battery isn't that good but I guess it is couse old battery stats are still in there I will just use the battery calibration application. Thank you
