Battery life.. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running sms by rsk ROM, which is nice and stable, has the brilliant amaze cam (I like the panorama mode) and sticks everything on my 16gb sd card, so I don't worry about app storage.
Only problem I have, and it's a biggie, is battery life. I carry 2 spare batteries with me to see me through a day, lots of facebook, a bit of kindle, occasional angry birds..
So, what am I doing wrong? Should I change to a different rom, or a setting somewhere?
Thanks

Battery life is normally 1 day..depends how much is your device old

Thanks.
A bit more reading done and I flashed the ManU kernel, which not only killed wifi, but also added some interesting green stripes to the status bar (i did flash the gingerbread version), so I guess I got something wrong there
Going (back to?) the droidzone #18, wifi back working.
Now using Rom Toolbox to set cpu to Ondemand (was on performance) so I'm guessing that's going to make a big difference

I guess I read enough to get just a little less information than I needed
Going for another install of the ROM, this time adding the rosie options which I think allows me a little more power tweaking...kinda embarrassing having friends with iphones have their phone last all day, while I change batteries after a few hours

[REQ] Stock Rom that allows us to keep root

Im looking for a stock rom with no changes to it that allows me to keep root. I Looked through all the older threads in development but it seems there have been updates and such. Right now I am running CM 6.1 and it seem my batt is dying way faster then it did on a stock rom. I'd like to compare them and such. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction i'd be happy! Thank you!

Yes, I am experiencing higher drain as well. Search the development section for cr_mod, look for the CR_Mod OTA 1.35.something. It's the rooted stock ROM with a wireless tether built in, OTA update and all. That's what your looking for. I flashed dumfuq's OC 4.0 kernel over the stock ROM and got better battery life than the stock HTC kernel, so I also recommend doing that. I'm on cm6.1 stable now, so I can easily modify themes, since it's AOSP based, and also so I can use the gingerbread latin_IME keyboard, since you need at least froyo to do that.

Hey thanks! I went back for about 8 hours and hated it. Im back on CM 6.1 and im getting terrible battery life still. IDK, I am going to try and reformat my SD card and reflash at a full battary etc. I migh ttry the kernel, but, I really don't want any OC of any kind, just maybe a lower standby setting, something in the range of 50mhz while the screen is off or something.

I cant see how formating an sd card could help. Anywho, cm 6.1 has the oc kernal already built into it. You dont need to flash any kernals, just use setcpu to adjust the speed.

I said try flashing dumfuq 4.0 over it because I THINK, not positive, but I was speculating that cyanogen had modified the kernel slightly that was causing a battery drain issue, because I stopped having so many issues with it when I flashed dumfuq's 4.0 kernel over it. Sounds weird, but it helped. I still have an occasional glitch where something is holding a wakelock on the system and it won't go to sleep, which is really annoying, and I think I traced it back to the music app, but still not sure there. I've been off of the charger for over an hour, with just 11 minutes of screen on and screen is 71% of the usage while cell standby is 11%, that's what makes me think flashing dumfuqs 4.0 fixed it. Cyanogen must've made a modification.
So, also @ the OP, go into spare parts battery history and see what is using it. If "running" is up above like 30 or 50% then you have something holding a wakelock, go to partial wake usage, and look at the app or UID that's got the wakelock. Rebooting normally gets rid of the lock for me, like I said, haven't quite figured it out yet.

[Q] Gingerbread vs Froyo

Hello
So recently Ive been wondering if its worth to install the Gingerbread over the 2.2 Defrost mod, I cant say im unhappy with it, cuz its awesome but just bored recently and maybe gingerbread runs even smoother and battery is better and has some more functions?
thinking about oxygen rom or villain rom
what do you guys think? also will all the apps work on the gingerbread? cuz heard something like launcher pro doesnt work on gingerbread?
thanks
I am using LauncherPro to write this, all apps work fine. Nandroid and try it out if you don't like it restore Froyo, not that there is anything to dislike.
Launcher Pro works great on Redux too.
I agree with @Kalavere - many of the Gingerbread ROMs are reliable enough for everyday use - give a couple a run and see whether you like it or not. You probably won't go back.
thanks guys for the info, could you just tell me of some visible advantages over froyo? well apart from the different graphics, like any new features etc etc?
just looked at some reviews and dont really see a point of upgrading to gingerbread unless theres some improvements on smoothness, and battery life?

Just flash and see, there are screen on and off visualizations, better battery graph logging, new RAM, internal and external memory graphs. And a few other features and bits and bobs.
Using Oxygen for some time now.... Try Gingerbread.... NEVER GO BACK!

On oxygen v2 rc5 battery lasted longer than now on latest miui (froyo). It wasn't pronounced that much on full load, but with screen turned off, i could get to first night with 80%. On miui, at best, 40-50%.
All the options were the same, and same apps were installed.
I went back to miui because on every other Tom i missed something.
On oxygen v2 rc5 3d didn't work, but that wasn't such a deal breaker for me.

That's really bad battery life no offence. Try a different kernel and radio. In 6 hours idle I go down to 90-95%

[Q] which *froyo* ROM would you recommend for desire?

Hi,
I'm currently on a stock ROM but I don't have enough memory anymore to install the apps that I want so I'm finally planning to make the step towards installing a custom ROM.
Unfortunatly there are so many (Leedroid, MIUI, CyanogenMod, ...) that a noob like me doesn't see the trees through the forest anymore
What are the ROM's (+ version) that the experienced flashers over here recommend?
I have a couple of prerequisites ;-)
- good battery life
- stable & everything working (bt, wifi, gps, ...)
- fast
- shortcuts to wifi, bt, data, gps, ... in the notification area
- all apps movable to SD card
Thanks for helping me making up my mind ;-)
PS I use launcherpro so sense or no sense doesn't matter
Cheers
B
EDIT 06/04:
OK I've tested a couple of GB ROMS: Oxygen, Redux and CM7
Overall functionality was very good on all of them although there are still some things on GB I'm not happy with
Basically reverted back to my Froyo
Anybody got a good fully functioning Froyo rom with good battery life and apps2sd?

personal opinion on the best roms available
Root -> S-OFF -> Bravo CM7 HBOOT -> CyanogenMod 7
And you will never use anything else.
Also its not worth moving all apps to SD, because SD card is much slower than phone internal memory. And so it wont be fast then.
Oxygen 2.x drains only 1% of my battery on standby every 4 hours with wifi on. VERY stable, havent found a single issue during 1 week of intensive testing. Its very fast... I have tried faster ones but at the cost of stability/incompatibility/issues with certain apps. It checks all your boxes, I cant recommend it enough.

Hi,
I already found a couple of posts somewhere where people were mentionning worse battery performance with this ROM. I can't remember which version they were speaking of, but have there been battery improvements on this ROM?
What's your experience with it battery-wise?
additional questions:
- can you configure the toggles in the notification area to your liking? e.g. wifi - data network - bt - gps - vibrate
- is the dialer t9?
Thx!!
B
I would recommend you try AuraxTSense for decent battery life with all the other things that you want from a ROM. I have used it more than anything until last night when i installed iNsertCoin HD which is also pretty smooth.
I would suggest Redux 1.1.x
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896213
It's stable, fast and the battery are outstanding.
i'll never change rom again

I guess you can remove the notification power widget if you choose to, maybe the user on that video did so, or maybe that feature wasn't implemented on RC2. Anyway latest version is 2.0.3, you can download it with the link I provided above and YES, there is a notification power widget included that you can configure as you like: Buttons, order, behaviour and everything.

Yeah, the battery drain issue has been fixed on latest versions, it wasnt AdamG's fault (he is the Oxygen developer), it has affected several different roms here around, kernel issue I guess. Anyway, it was very easy to fix editing wifi sleep policy options. And trust me, the battery consumption of this ROM is ridiculous. Have in mind Oxygen is made with simplicity and minimalism in mind, so you wont find any battery sucking features.
Yup, the notification area power widget is fully customizable, as I said above. In my case I removed the wifi on/off because I need it always on. I also added a button to toggle the flashlight, and the possibilities are endless.
Dialer T9? I'm sorry but I cant understand, I thought T9 was predictive stuff for text entry. Why would I need predictive text if phone numbers are just that, numbers? I guess I am confused, could you explain it to me?

Sorry, no clue, never tried that. BTW in case you are interested on installing a custom ROM, have in mind some of them require a custom MTD partition (Oxygen has its own). You can find them at alpharev.nl. Sounds much more complicated than it really is, dont be afraid.
To be completely honest, the first thing I did when I got my desire was to S-OFF it, root it, and install a custom ROM. The HTC stuff on it looked too much like bloatware to me and I love to tweak all my devices to get maximum performance.

I can then just form the name of one of my contacts using the numeric keys

AOSP ROM's from Google have no T9 dialer, but that's why the Market is for. Dialer One or Dialer2 could be a good replacement.

I am in complete agreement with Tysken91.
I am not sure I will ever be completely happy with Battery life but this is my first smartphone device and I guess I need to get used to it.
With a combination of Y5 Battery saver (to turn off Wireless), Juice Defender and the Redux 1.1.1 (RC3), my battery life is quite good.

Have tried most of the roms and found that MIUI is clearly the best!
Cyanogenmod v7.0.0 RC4 is really the best ROM i have tried so far.
But ofcourse it is very personal
hi,
thanks for the feedback... unfortunatly there's still not a clear winner apparently. I guess I expected it a bit, everybody has their own preference.
I've heard good things battery-wise about redux and oxygen so I think my choice will be one of these, anybody any good arguments why one is better then the other?
I really like Go Launcher currently but it's a bit laggy on my stock sense rom, so anybody had any experience with this launcher on any of these ROM's?
I've followed the noob guide with success, I've just partitioned my SD card

Now in the video the CM installation is performed, is there something special about the redux and oxygen installation?

Best ROM for battery saving?

Dear friends,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697584
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659525
I don't know if I have been spoiled by Nokia, because I had a Nokia E72 with a tiny screen a 1500Ah battery (Two days connected with EDGE/Wifi updating Whatsapp and Gravity).
I just need Whatsapp and any Twitter application running al the time.. 3G or HSPDA is not a must, I could live with EDGE for battery saving.
I have tried:
Stock 2.3 ROM
Oxygen COS'ed
CM7 RC1
Minwild 4.9 CM
I don't care about fancy widgets and so... I just want battery life... sometimes I use the screen with 10% brightness!
Please, help me! Help will be highly appreciated.
PD: Moto RZR MAXX is too expensive
PD2: I'm using lastest radio and have not messed with Kernels, always using the one that comes with each ROM.
PD3: Testing is so easy, I wonder if someone have done that before? Install ROM, install whatsapp and twitter, config, fully charge, see it discharge and take the time and try with another ROM, right know I don't have the time, but that's what I want to do...!
Bets regards.
Far as I know those roms aren't exactly power hungry.
ManU kernel is recognized for batter saving.
You can use with MildWild CM version.
For oxygen I think you have to use thalamus kernel.
I'm using Oxygen V4 MildWild with latest thalamus kernel and with normal use (wifi once in a while but usually switched off, some browsing, some phone calls, some texts and even a little game once in a while) it lasts me a full day. If I play too much, the battery can last as three hours (with bat, intensive games).

Which ROM uses ManU kernel? I'd like to try that one.
Right now I'm using Oxygen Cosed with Thalamus (I think)
I dont think there is a rom that uses ManU kernel by default. But as long as a rom is based on CM7 I believe you can replace the default one with ManU.

Not entirely true. Oxygen rom and those that use it as base need to use Thalamus kernel. Using ManU on Oxygen roms for example will break your camera.

The best rom for battery, performance and stability is none other than GINGER VILLAIN. If you look at the screenshot most of juice is gone into display as I like 100% display. I am sure you can save further battery with switching off wifi, mobile data, gps, vibrations, display etc. But this rom is pretty much beating other rooms. Only problem people find is there are no future updates for this rom. If you looking for above all then go for this rom.
Hit thanks if it helps you.

And that would be about 50% correct. The rom does play an important role on battery consuption.
I know you asked about ROMs, but if you dont mind a thicker phone you could also consider an extended battery. I'm using a Cameron Sino 2400MAH battery, cost me £7 from Amazon UK and I get between 30 - 38 hours out of my Desire, depending on use. That's with ICS for Desire by Sandvold installed.
I cant post links yet but take a look at batteryboss.org and it mentions it as being "not a bad deal".
ICS works fine for me
I use the BCM - Ice Cream Sandwich from CM9 Source and it works fine for me. Been up for almost 16 hours with decent usage and pretty poor cell signal the whole time.
The lowest battery drain I've had was using Mildwild's Oxygen Based. Nearly 2 days of battery with pretty decent usage. See the attachments below: you might found them a bit dark cause they were made with screen filter at 50%.
- During night, phone had 2G (GPRS).
- Screen on-time: 3 hours, above 50% usage.
- Always with WiFi or HDSPA (3G) excepts during nights.
With battery perfectly calibrated (it shutdowns at 0%).

[Q] data roaming issue on Cool Droid v3 ROM

hi all
I finally decided to give some new life to my HTC Desire, rooted it, S-OFFed it as well and after long search for most suitable ROM for me, flashed Cool Droid v3 Bravo on it.
ROM looks great and works fine, but it has only one big issue (so far) - I cannot turn on data roaming, it is turned off by default and tweaked to stay that way. As a noob, obviously I cannot post this question in specific thread about that ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279016 so I have to ask here:
is there any fix for it, an advice or procedure how to change the script (I figured out that it's just a line in build.prop file but it doesn't allows me to change it). I'm not scared to tinker with it as long as it's not too complicated and makes sense.
I need it because I live in Europe, travel a lot and I use national roaming very often.
Please if anyone can help me, because this issue is a dealbreaker for me with this ROM and I'd hate that.
Thanks in advance
PS: the screenshot shows how the setting stays no matter what option I choose
Install a rom that hasnt got a lot of Verizon stuff in it.
I would, if I can find fast, stable and reliable ROM, based on GB and preferably with Sense on it.
I'm not into flashing new ROM every few days and trying out every custom ROM out there, I just need my phone to work well within its capabilities as I travel a lot and use it for work.
I guess that this data roaming issue shouldn't be too complicated to solve, it's a piece of cake for every developer...

well, I flashed this rom and been testing it last few days. It has pretty much all that I need but I find it quite heavy on my device. Too many times it slows down, lags and freezes, especially when running games and apps that need syncing. Also, quite a lot FCs. Battery drain is also significant.
I'm not sure where exactly the problem is, it just gets stuck with black screen and only notification bar is visible.
Any advice where to look at? Might it be kernel, radio or CPU issue?
thanks
A tip for ya when flashing that rom. When u first install it from recovery and reboot, when it boots past bootanimation and gets to the lockring.... Leave it settle for 15-20 mins, dont unlock. Then after 15-20 mins unlock then reboot. Then no force close, sounds mad but its true. U could try a different kernal, Droidzone has a few good 1s for sense 3.5 roms and also in settings/RCMix tweaks, u can fix permissions there, try that, it sometimes fixes force close. Im using Aurora v6 special edition, its android 2.3.5 and sense 3 and not 1 problem so far, great rom infact. Saying that, Runnymede aio s.e is my personal favourite sense 3.5 and never had any problems with it, but letting it settle for 15-20 mins is a must.

About the radio.... What do u have? Lastest is recommended.

I followed that flashing procedure pretty much, I was gentle and easy going right after flashing it, not rushing anything, left it to settle (maybe not 20 mins) and rebooted it again. Actually, FCs are not such a big issue like freezing. Usually 1fc comes on 5 freezes. My radio is 5.11.05.27, I haven't touched it since rooting the phone with Revolutionary. I kinda hesitate to flash it, I don't want to brick my device because I'm not sure about the right procedure.
As my name says, I'm just an ordinary noob, not too experienced with all this.
thanks
Did u do a full wipe before flashing.

I did a full wipe, formatting and partitioning SD card from the scratch (fat32 partition included), 4ext is 1GB... I did all following developer's recommended procedure step by step. SD card is brand new SanDisk 8 GB, class 6.
It works well after reboot, but after a while, as soon as several apps are opened, it lags and hangs heavily, making the phone unusable.
I'm not sure does it matter, but I moved all movable apps to "phone storage", except those that have widgets that I use. Yet, the phone still freezes even when using non-movable apps.
I'd flash it again right now but I get messed up contacts list every time because not all my contacts are on google and I have 1000+ in total, so after every restore I get many duplicates and triplicates, so I'd really like a solution that doesn't include another flashing.
Here is a better tip. Don't use sense 3+ if you want reliability. I recommend cool bravo s, but change the kernel.

So your telling me that you have no fcs, no lags, especially when receiving a call, no battery drains? Do you use your phone? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I really want to know, because every sense 3+ rom I had wasn't 100%. Which rom are you using right now?

I'd like to stick with this rom.. I do have lags but not when receiving a call, that's why I suppose that I just have to do some detailed tweaking and that's where I need help as I'm not experienced with it. FCs are actually not so bad, pretty much the same as I had them on my stock froyo so I can live with that. Battery drain is there though, but I've been using the phone intensively since flashing RM AIO, trying to set it up.
Can maybe someone post here proper radio/kernel/CPU settings please?
My device is amoled version, with 5.11.05.27 radio and 2.6.35.10 [email protected] #11 kernel
CPU settings are untouched after flashing the rom, so they are "default".
thanks
