[Q] Battery Life, Standby Current

Hey all,
I just picked up a G2 and got all excited and dumped Virtuous onto it (I'm very used to Sense).
I soon realized that the battery life of this thing is ridiculously bad. I put CurrentWidget on it (I switched from Android on HD2), and noted that it's draining, on standby, at ~60-80 mA. That's very high; on the Android on HD2, it sometimes is as low as 7-9mA (on average).
I'm not doing anything particularly special, and I've got the same settings on both. It's unlikely it's the reading, as the percentages go down like crazy on the G2 (or get stuck; it often gets stuck at 96% for an hour or two and then goes down very quickly). Quantitatively, it's about 1% per five or ten minutes, while I could get maybe 1% per half hour or 45 minutes on the HD2.
Has anybody done any CurrentWidget tests on their G2? I've searched around, and it seems that not many others are using this test (it's very popular over with the HD2 kids. ). Does anybody have numbers they'd like to share? I'd be very interested in seeing them!
I'll, meanwhile, try the AOSP and stock build again to see how the widget performs on that. I'm very sure this isn't normal, though...
Thanks!

The norm for me is 28-38ma on stand by, you will not be able to get it as low as the HD2. It stays at 100% for about 1 1/2 hours after that it drops and at the 60's slows down again.

Do you have any task killers running? Menu, setting, about phone, battery stats, then youll see what app is eating the battery.

I've posted before and was able to get the phone to last 12 hours on 1%. It drained at such a low mA that it said 0 and 1 often. I will try to get it that low if i can again since i changed to RC4.
Will post screenshots and logs of information on apps running then make a guide about what settings need to be where and what files need to be deleted and added.

That's odd, though. I would've expected otherwise, considering that Android on HD2 requires most things to read/write to SD card, which would supposedly be more power-hungry than writing to NAND...
Nope; I've run tests on almost pure stock builds (just Astro + CurrentWidget + SetCPU installed, but I don't even have SetCPU running...). Happens on both Virtuous and Villain (Sense builds). Thanks for your input!

That's amazing. Please do post additional information when you have time! I'd be happy to spend some time in the coming weeks to replicate your behavior.

for some reason my g2s battery got better as time progressed.
fresh out the box=needed 2 charges a day
3 weeks later= 7am-10pm still at 36% with HEAVY use.

Shouldn't Standby eat more than the HD2 based on it being 4g? Also I use the GSM/CDMA Auto which has increased my battery life significantly. *#*#4636#*#* phone info. My time without signal was around 9% and is down to 0 since changing it. I am a pretty heavy user and I usually go about 24-30 hours on a single charge. (I'm using the chitech 1800 mah battery though.)
Edit: I'm OC'd to 1497 with 245/245 screen off profile.

I really want to get that type of battery life! It might have something to do with batterystats.bin being well conditioned. I've tried running to zero and it seems to help a little little bit...

That might be true, although I don't have any 4g around in my area. That said, I think HSPA+ is just another bit onto HSDPA, which is what the HD2 has anyway. I don't think it should consume that much more power... (3x fold!). I've tried switching to GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL), but I was using GSM Auto already. We'll see if it helps too!
Thanks guys for your input and feedback; I hope it'll help others, too.

Argh, it's not "4G", that's just some made-up T-Mobile nonsense about HSPA+ (still an uprated 3G technology).

[Q] Help? :(

Well, ill start off by saying "Im james! "
I recently made the switch to android because i absolutely love the capabilities and the functionality. I got myself an Incredible. Rooted and and installed Redemptive revolution and got sucky battery life. Then yesterday it starts raining and gets really cloudy. I lose my 3g coverage about an hour into the storm. Im guessing this is normal? Well i decide to install Myn's two point two, with kinxklick's LV kernel in an attempt to get better battery life.
My current standing: Im running Myn's 2.2 with LV kernel and my 3G is still timing out and crappy. My brother's Dx gets Fair signal during the storm, should i be worried about my phone? Ive wiped several times and i still get like 60 kbps down while he gets above 400 kbps.
So my questions are:
1. Is there something wrong with my incredible? Or is the X's signal generally better then the HTC's?
2. What ROM and kernel combination would give me the best battery life?
Its at :
Android System: 70 %
Display: 16%
Cell Standby: 14%
During the time writing this, my 3G has dropped at least 6 times. Is it normally like this during cloudy rainy weather?
Thank you in advance, and i Love the site by the way!

Lou's #4 is kicking ass with both his and warm.... fast and smooth, battery seems to be killer also.

Your going to heat this 50 times, but this is in the wrong place.
Nothing is (probably) wrong with your phone and its best to try several combinations. I am using MIUI to great success.

0) This forum is for discussion of development issues, not "which is right for me" or "how to use" issues... this should probably be posted in Q&A or General.
However, I hate leaving a question unanswered, so:
1) Signal strength is not related to which ROM you are using, and rather which radio. Look in settings->about phone->Software Info->Baseband version. The 3 current radios are 2.15.00.07.28, 2.15.00.09.01, and 2.15.00.11.19. Depending on your location, one of these three is the version you should use. BE CAREFUL - FLASHING ROMS IS VERY SAFE, BUT AN ERROR FLASHING THE RADIO WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
You could also try *228 to update your roaming as well.
2) This is constantly debated. Typically, horrible battery life is the result of an app running constantly or keeping the phone from sleeping. How does your awake time compare to your up time? Personally, I find that CyanogenMod 6.1 with incredibleK's kernel #18 gives me best battery life... I usually charge it every night to be safe, but can comfortably go two days of moderate use without draining the battery.

Sorry about the wrong forum, but im in the middle of flashing skyraider (3.5?) with King klicks #6. As for awake time and uptime, it used to be roughly the same. Give or take a few min. Ive speed tested on warm, and it still hasnt passed the 100 kbps mark Hows Cyanogen running for everything else?
Also, i cant get passed 1x on skyraider, it stays on "Turning on"
My radio is 2.15.00.07.38
Double check, my awake time is exactly the same as my up time.(Edit: Nevermind, i locked it and now the uptime is 2 min more than the awake time.)

That is a sign that either (a) you are literally using your phone 100% of the time, which will indeed suck batteries down very quickly, or (b) you have some app that is constantly asking for attention and wont let the phone sleep. By comparison, my uptime is 11+ hrs, and my awake time is about 3 hours. It's awake when I am using it, but it sleeps other times (can still receive calls/email/sms in this state). If your phone isn't sleeping when you're not using it, battery wil suffer.
EDIT: If you just rebooted, then it will of course be equal. You should check after you have been booted and running on battery (not plugged in) for a few hours.

No that doesnt work

Try a new radio. Legit, it will probably help a lot.
Research how to check an md5 sum before you actually flash it through hboot, but past that you're set. If the md5's don't match, redownload.
I suggest the 11.19 radio (The new EVO radio). 9.01 also worked well for me, but the EVO one works wonders. I also have a wannabEVO phone, so that might just be me.

Hows your battery life? Custom ROM help?

My friend has a Desire and he isnt pleased with the battery life at all.
I told him to root and install a custom ROM and it will help, as it did with me (Motorola Milestone).
Do the custom ROMS for the desire have better battery life? How many hours can you get out of it?
He hardly gets a day and doesnt even use much data, mostly texts, maybe short calls, and just brief stints of data

i use oxygen 2.0.2 and had the same usage as your friend, more or less.
my battery stands for almost 20 hours.
do check the auto-sync options and 2G-3G network setting.
turn-off the GPS, WiFi bluetooth if it isnt used.
and maybe your friend could install Juice Defender from market to conserve battery.
hope that helps

I second the vote for Oxygen. I heavily use data for Twitter, Facebook, four email accounts and several short browsing sessions daily. I also make a handful of calls (often with Bluetooth) and SMS a lot. I jump on and off MSN with imo.im beta (my current multi-protocol IM client at the moment) and get almost 20 hours a day. I've always had battery life problems in the past.
Your friend won't regret it.

Another vote for oxygen. Phone out of the box for me I only get about 24 hours. On oxygen 2.0 with moderate use - wifi always on, browsing forums and email, calls, no widgets except for weather and date, I got 2 days 9 hours! That's also with setcpu and rokee mod (check oxygen forum). Very happy so far and don't think I will be upgrading anytime soon unless I can get better battery life.

I am using the RCMIXHD and for now I haven't seen a huge improvement ... but I keep everything on and still have to tweak around .

AuraxTSense v8.4
Standby Time 8day's.
With checking time/date and mail from time to time.
Google latititude enabled and face book enabled.
Allmost no wifi involved btw.

So with oxygen, since he doesnt leave wifi or data on all the time, and only sparingly uses it, I assume he would get a lot more than 20 hours of use?
wow the auraxtsense sounds good

I would agree with the people suggesting oxygen, although i haven't tried the most recent one I have tried other AOSP ROMs (Such as Cyanogenmod and Redux) but you do however sacrifice the incredible camera for a terrible AOSP one, so I personally like to use Sense ROMs for that reason. There are some Kernels that can improve the cpu usage-thus improving battery life when using HTC sense based roms. I would either recommend either LeeDroid or AuraxTsense (the one i currently use) and with heavy use i can easily get a working day from it (from 9am to 5pm) and it'll only JUST reach the 20% mark for me which is fine

Using the Redux 1.1.0 rom with newest radio (32.54) and coutts99 2.6.38 CFS HAVS kernel. Battery life has never been better, 2 days since recharge, couple of games of Worms and 3d table tennis, some emails, browsing for maybe one hour, listened to a Brian Eno CD and maybe 15 minutes of talking on the phone. 56% left!
I was positively shocked. I reckon the largest cause for this was the new radio and kernel, Wi-Fi reception seems to be a bit weaker TBH than with 32.49 but this battery life is definetely worth it.

I was having severe battery issues with my desire - looked at logs via currentwidget etc - found I'm use around 55ma on standby !!
Long story short and after lots of research I found I was a victim of the usb brick bug... anyway, unbricked and now my use is around 4 to 6 ma standby on CM7 RC4..

I'm running Cyanogen since the Release Candidate 1 with the latest RADIO and this kernel: http://mirror.couttstech.com/android/index.php?dir=bravo/kernel/aosp-2.6.38/CFS/ (CFS, HAVS, Ginger).
I only use 3G when idle and WiFi for downloading updates.
Sync is on
Bluetooth and GPS are off.
Underclocked to 800 MHz when active, Max 256 when idle. Min-Frequency set to 128 MHz.
Undervolted by 50-100 mV.
I'm listening about 30 minutes/day to online radio (via 3G)
Trillian is enabled in background (ICQ,MSN,AIM,GoogleTalk)
With this, my desire loses around 40-50% in 14 hours (around 3% hour). Most battery hog is the online radio (drains 15%).
If I do not listen to online radio and if I disable Trillian but keeping everything else enabled, the drain is around 1%/hour (tested over night).
For me this is the best I could get and I'm fine with it (Also: My battery only has 85% of original capacity left).

vote for Oxygen2 or CM7. Try this Kernel too. Sync only every 3h-6h (FB/Twitter/Weather/...)

In my case Oxygen 2.0.2 is draining approximately 1% of battery every 4 hours on standby with wifi on. Kinda hard to beat that I guess.

I am using InsertCoin 2.0.1 Data2Ext
My Settings:
-Syncs: FB 6hr, Push e-mail for yahoo and googlemail, News 4 hrs, weather 3 hrs, and htc sense based on change.
-2G/3G set to auto
-CPU freq: 384-1075MHz with interactive...yes I am OCing a bit.
-Night in the City live wallpaper.
-WiFi always on at home.
-(not really a setting) GSM signal strength is somehow always full at home.
-advance task killer every 1 hr.
I have tested the battery life at home and it resulted with those settings above about 25% reduction in 12-14Hrs on standby.

I know that one.
I have tried not to use any task killer but the battery usage is somehow better with task killer running.
On the other hand, if I set the task killer faster than 1 hr, the battery life is drained drastically.
Longer than 1 hr will not give me any effect on battery life.
I also know those are only based on subjective judgement.

oh i was going to post something like this.
Using Stock 2.2 Rom.
I've found i actually get better usage with WIFI always on rather than OFF and switching between 3G to WiFi and then tun it off.
so switch phone on at 7am @ 100%, switch off at 11:30pm and im around 85% usage.

I think I might have this problem as well, been doing a search, but not sure where to look, did you follow the procedures for usb brick, or are you talking about something else. I downloaded the current app and it shows 44amp all the time, any info on where to look for a cure is appreciated.

Yeah - followed procedures for USB brick and worked fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187

Having a little trouble with usb brick procedure, I think my cache was corrupted, so I unrooted and thought I would start again. So far unrooted, replaced original battery back in taking out 3000 mah one, and funny the amps go down, when gone into idle, but they do shoot up to 130 something or more when doing things. Then I replaced it with the 3000 amp one, and it still stays at 44mah, so I think it is the battery, it won't go down in amps for some reason, well atleast I have a backup battery incase.

[Q] Battery Drain on SE.Tweaked

Hello,
Like in the topic. The strange thing is that my battery was going low in an acceptable level (~2-3%/h) then 3 days ago it jumped to ~10%/h without a reason that I know of. I'll attach a BetterBatteryStats log from todays 8h at work.
One thing i've noticed that CPU is most of the time at max speed (I've set CPU on "screen off" state to 134-460Mhz (smartassv2) and when i've checked Time in State it was almost all of the time at 460Mhz, so i've locked it to 134 in "screen off" state, it gave me a little better battery draining level but still not satysfying... (and lags when unlocking phone)
Second thing - wakeups by com.sonyericsson.android.server.dormant (only 4047 in 10h ) wtf is that
I have undervolted CPU from 0.05 to 0.1V at all frequencies
Wifi was off data was on (2g all the time)
BBS log in attachment.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions how to improve battery life ;]

problem still actual

That's not really a drain imo
On which kernel are you?
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk

I'm on doomkernel v18fix1. When this happened I was on v17 and I've updated it to v18fix1 with hope to get better but nothing there have changed.
Now I'll just change Se.Tweaked to arconium restore all my apps and see if its one of them.

I thought drain is just excessive battery usage by phone correct me if I'm wrong

You're right.
But most time mine drains like that, too.
That drain is normal for our phone I guess
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk

So I've changed ROM to newest arconium, restored all my apps by Titanium Backup and battery life still crap.
I'm just wondering how this could happen just like that. One day was normal (~2-3%/h), and next day it jumped so high... considering that I haven't do anything what could change any settings that time.
I've took some screenshots of settings of my Arc and dumped BBS log, maybe there will be a clue what could possibly cause that high battery usage.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Abismal Battery life! Found probable cause GSM0710MUXD!

UPDATE #4:
I thought I have solved, but right now I just got a process GSM0710MUXD using about 25% of my battery in one hour, locking the processor in 100% for more than 50 minutes. This process is responsible for controlling the access do GSM radio.
A reboot solved the problem, but, it is the second time it happened, so, could this be the problem?
Some people might have this and not even know about it and think that a low battery life is normal with this phone, which is not.
UPDATE #4
UPDATE #3:
Last status update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26321944&postcount=51
If anyone want some extra help besides what is posted here, just ask in this thread, I'll keep looking into it.
Greetings.
END UPDATE #3
UPDATE #2:
I must say that I solved the problem, with a hard and long way to get there.
The problem was with all the OTA updates from HTC. With several reflashes of RUU in some special sequence I could solve it.
See the sequence and problem solved here, with pics to prove.
END UPDATE #2
UPDATE: Just to be clear, I'm still having a horrible battery life, even after using a working battery monitoring program.
All below values are with screen OFF except when advised.
I have seen that with everything ON except DATA (wifi and 3g off) it consumes about 4mAh, which is very good, on par with my HD2. With 3g ON it consumes about 12-16 mAh, which is very bad and with wi-fi ON it consumes 20-25 mAh, which is outrageously bad. In idle this should not be the case. Apparently no other programs are getting anything from the net.
My HD2 with ICS or GB gets by a full day usage (1250mAh battery) with wi-fi and 3g radios ON full time and several things syncing at the same time all the time with push notifications. Twitter, facebook, whatsapp, gmail, normal mail, everything else in two google accounts. So I don't see why a 2,5 years newer phone shouldn't do it. HD2 usage with everything ON except wifi is about 2-5mAh and with wifi on (always) it is about 8-12mAh.
So, one part is fixed (the current widget) but the other is still bad, so I'll keep the thread open.
Programs used, Battery Monitor Widget, BetterBatteryStats, Control Panel.
If someone can help, it will be much appreciated.
Greetings, Santroph.
END UPDATE
I'm having a huge problem with battery life in my HOX.
I'm NOT a noobie in Android or using custom ROMs or anything like this, after all I do have an HTC HD2 with Android since the early Cupcake days
I'm new to HOX but I have searched everywhere before coming here to get help from u guys.
It's a HUGE (never seen this before) batt drain, something like 200 - 700mAh in idle, screen off. (Current widget was used to measure it)
I do have some proof below.
Some of the things I have done:
Besides knowing all of the steps from here, I have done it all gain anyway. I'm having the same draw 200-700 from my phone with everything, EVERYTHING off, sensors, connections, sync and all off.
I have tried Revolution HD 5.1.1 and 6.0.0, Leedroid 6.2.0, which seems to be good roms from the feedback. The result is the same with all of them, and the same thing with Stock RUU 1.29.401.7
I have cleaned everything before installing the roms (system/data/cache/dalvik/battery stats).
Well, any suggestions? I can't reallt return the phone because I do live in Brazil and bought it in a trip in USA, it is a UK unlocked grey model. And the phone is not sold in Brazil yet, so I will try anything that can be done without returning it.
The next pic show what is happening in Airplane mode, every radio off, and after killing everything running. I still have HUGE Drain besides entering in deep sleep and nothing running

Thanks for the help.

CW is not working correctly with ICS/Sense 4 atm bro.
Used to have the same results with it.
Try some other app/widget.

Use Battery Monitor Widget, much lighter on the battery.

No one has ever told me that before, and it is even used in the thread for better battery life in HTC One X.
So, I assumed it was working fine. I use it for a long time, since it was launched.
Do you know any other app that does something like it, logs the drain, that work?
Thanks.

NB:
- NOT all phones report accurate mA - Check app web-site for more information
- The app displays the % remaining, voltage and temperature data reported by Android OS
- HTC One X reports incorrect mA during standby, use mA corrections for better results
- Android battery stats have nothing to do with % calculations
Well at least this one says right upfront the problem, but what should be the mA corrections? Do we need to do some cal or is it just a checkbox? (I will install it right now of course, to find out)
Thanks, can't thank you in the button, it doesn't appear.
UPDATE: It is an option in the settings, correct mA report, and there we can choose HTC One X
If it is really as good as it looks to be, I'll buy the PRO version, thanks for the tip.

The updated versions already support the One X, been using it for weeks and idle drain reporting is working just fine The change log on the Play website and the change log on the Play app are different somehow. On the app it says it's fixed, and I can see proper drain on standby.

Do you have huge battery drain or just an app that reports huge battery drain?
I noticed you didn't mention that the phone doesn't last long.
At 200-700mA drain, your 1850mAh battery would last 2.5 to 9 hours on standby.

You could also install Better Battery Stats (free for XDA users) and see what is causing the battery drain.

No, I have the drain, AND the app was not reporting good things too...
My battery today lasted only 5 hours.
I had only 2 hours of screen ON and also only 5 minutes in a game, the rest was normal/light use, like web surfing and facebook. NO heavy use like watching movies.
So, it is a lousy battery life, my HD2 does last way longer with a worse battery. Sure I do have a worse screen in there too, but this shouldn't be that bad.

do a full factory restore and only setup bare minimum apps to be sure you haven't gotten a rogue process/app
if that doesn't work return it pronto

i used to have huge drain from either goole maps, latitude or navigation after installing it from the forum which enables it for everyone (outside us) uninstalled it and it got fixed. if u have drain while the phone is idle it is an app issue, try factory reset, install one app at a time and see which one causes it.

Some apps e.g games like draw something.. have push notifications running at background.
The latest version of facebook drains battery like crazy.
There's a need to monitor what is installed in the phone. Especially apps that require to run background services and push notifications (Those apps drain battery life )

Well since it was working fine I did not install any new apps, didnt change any setting. I only sync gmail. I disabled everything else. Ill do factory reset anyway, maybe just recent OTA messed up my battery

You both clearly have a problem. If you look at the battery stats graph, is it always awake? If so, you have an app that is preventing it from sleeping and need to find it.
Post this screen, as you can see, Awake and Screen on should, essentially, be the same.

Isles should be less than 20ma .

Don't worry, nothing it keeping my phone awake.
With the new app for monitoring the phone mAh usage I can see that it is using about 16 to 25 mAh in idle (too much for my taste, used to be 3 - 5 in HD2) but not that bad.
But the thing is, just wake up the phone and than BAM, 500-900 usage, WITH THE SCREEN BACKLIGHT SET TO MINIMUM
As u can see in one of the pics the phone looses 3% in just 3 minutes. So it can only be awake for 1 hour? common...
I'll install a process monitoring app, but I don't have that much hope...
Several pictures for your delight of my problem
Please help :|

My HOX lasted 25 hours the day before the latest FW Update. Today it was on 9% after 10 hours and the stats told me that the screen was on for 7 hours. The screen was off and the phone was in airplane mode over night and drained over 60% of battery live.

As far as I could tell, the WiFi is consuming too much of the battery. I don't know why but yesterday my WiFi turned off during the night (even if set to never turn off in the settings) and the drain got from 25mAh in idle to 4 mAh when just using 3g.
After waking WiFi again the drain got back to 22.
Can anyone confirm?
