Hello.
Does anyone have a problem with battery life?
I got my new htc one x last week and rooted it 2 days ago.
The rom that i installed is InsertCoin v6.4.5 and also installed franco kernel r9.
I really like the combination of these two except battery life. I have been using a lot of android phones and never have a experience like this before.
Battery just drains quickly. It droped from 100% to 60% in 2 hours. Im not a heavy user and didnt install many apps or any games. I can see that it doesnt drain much when its off but when im using it, i feel like battery decreses 1% every 2 minutes.
I installed rom - more than 3 times - when the battery was charged 100% and im not using any task killer or battery saver etc. Moreover, battery life was fine before i rooted HOX.
Is it only me having this problem?

There can be many reasons for your battery drain ranging from weak phone signal to power consuming apps running. I would suggest to use something like BetterBatteryStats apps to see what's draining your battery.
With energy rom and franco r9, I am getting 12-24 hours depending on usage.

Couldnt figure out with betterbatterystats apps. There is nothing suspicious thing. Well.. i have probably a bad luck with InsertCoin rom. I will try Android Revolution HD + stock kernel.

mate if u read thoroughly through francos thread, u will realize that the kernel needs time to settle. atleast 2 days with 2 full charges. yes, u will have abnormal battery drain at first, especially that u flashed both rom and kernel. just give give 2 days or 3 and u will notice the difference. hope this helps.

So thats what people say 'stablize'
I saw people mention that but i thought my case was completely different. Cuz its been 2 days since i installed insertcoin+franco.kernel.
Thank you. I will give another try then.
Full charge? i tried googling how to full charge mobile phone but couldnt find it. Is there any special way to full charge?
One thing that one should always do after installing a custom ROM is to wipe the battery statistics.
Simply go to the recovery, then to the advanced menu and wipe 'Battery Stats' from there.
This solves a lot of battery related problems for a lot of people.

Battery says are wiped when you get close to 100% charge, and hold the stats you see in the power options. Has no effect on battery life.
I noticed on the pkmn rom I had bad battery drain for no reason but on leedroid I had none.
I had nothing installed and no wake locks but I could watch the % drop like a stone.
Try going back to stock kernel first see if that works. If not try a different rom.

Me to experience battery drain at first time when flashing charmeleon. As i love the tweaks over there i can't switch the rom. So i just reflashed it.
Let me say how i did again and there is no battery drain after that.
1)Erasche cache manually(fastboot erase cache)
2)Use charmeleon boot.img flasher v5.0.0
3)Then again erase cache manually (fastboot erase cache)
4)Then goto recovery and factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache,wipe battery stats.
5)Then installed rom with full wipe and there is no battery drain after that.
Guys try this method. You will get no battery drain.

Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

AdamG's Official Froyo HTC Sense might hold the key to this since it seems to give about 2 days battery performance with the original battery unlike any other rom.

Drain
Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.
Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.
Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1
Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off
Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers
I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?
Hi
Any news on how long battery last on the new official release?
Im currently on Pays ROM, and battery last between 24-48 h, with 3g and wifi turned on and daily use of phone, sms and browsing.
Just tried some ROMs that didnt even last a whole day
In 3 hours I have nearly used 50% of battery and that is with 3 short phone calls.
System, cell standby, wifi and phone idle account for 80% usage. Was using a different froyo rom before putting oem one on and did not have this type of drain.
Also not using an app killer as people have been saying that the system can handle the apps, that has not been the case and will install again.
My battery drain has been up massively since I went to 2.2 with the OpenDesire ROM. Phone standby takes most of it. What's causing such excessive usage? Even on the official ROM now :-/
What ROM's are you guys getting best battery with?
You should post on which ROMs you have the battery drain...
I have had massive battery drain on all ROMs until I started using the rooted 2.2 OTA. I would have to charge my phone twice every day but now it's great, I have 65 percent left after a full day of heavy use.
Edit: tried almost every FroYo ROM before this.

Which ROM are you using? I can't decide which one to download
Battery life is also my only problem with this otherwise amazing phone
Maybe it's the rom/radio combination!?
I had PaysDesire v2.3 before installing the OTA 2.2. The battery with PaysDesire with average use went from 100% to like 60% in 12 hours. With the latest one, i lost 8% in 2 hours but with over average usage. Testing the camera, installing apps, setting up things...
That is why I am still not convinced that the battery sucks on 2.2 and I will wait few days (until the shine wears off, as Coldplay would say) before bringing my final decision.

you use OTA officiall not ruted
Doesn't you guys' phones' display use most of the battery? For me it's at least 70% of the battery usage.
With SetCpu I use about 1% battery on standby, but as soon as I use it, it drains battery like crazy, even though the brightness is set to 25%...
I am using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
I took it off charge at 7 a.m. an have used it quite heavily today and the battery is still at 50% so I am pleased.
8 Hours and im on 68 %
2 Hours 3D Gaming and browsing 1 Hour.SmS/Few Calls between.
Official 2.2 Froyo ROM.
Wait for Kernel Sources and i think Battery Drain will fall and fall =)

that aside, no rom or os version has changed a fig for me about battery. It's still good in reasonable terms.

+1.i am getting really good battery performance on this ROM.
but from my experience even from WinMO you will never find a single ROM on which people would agre on 100% that is good or bad.everyone is getting different results.everyone has different apps instaled,using different combination of services (push mail,wi fi,3G...).
Someone will always claim good battery life and others will say it is crap.this is really about testing what works for you the best.
Sorry for my english guys...
When i have a good connection then my battery is ok. After 16 hours i have still 12%. If my connection is bad (i'm in a building) so it search for connection and lost it again i see the battery drain and my battery is empty after few hours...

Guys,
I've been jumping between ROMs since rooting my phone last week and one thing I've noticed is that my battery life takes a big hit when I'm using the G2 ROM.
You'd think that since it's a lot closer to stock Froyo than the Bell Desire Z ROM it would have better battery life, but that not what I'm seeing.
With both ROMs it seems that they will stay at 100% for a two or three hours and then start coming down - however it's much more dramatic with the G2 ROM and it seems as though it's battery drain gets accelerated.
Has anyone else noticed this?

For my part, while using CM 6.1RC1 the battery drain was amazingly bad.
Under Modaco G2 ROM, it's more reasonable. For casual use for 7h since being unplugged, I'm at 76%.

My phone's been unplugged for almost 7hrs and I'm at 85% battery on my original Bell ROM.
If you have Spare Parts installed, check Battery History. From there click on the "Running" bar. This will tell you how much time the phone has spent "awake" (this excludes the time the display has been on or while on a call).
I'm at 2hrs 18mins (+20mins with the display on).
Give my stock g2 rom a chance and tell me how that compares. I get better bat life out of stock kernel myself. Bet we could use some uv.
I've noticed something new.
I had my SIM card out of my phone today and it's been unplugged for 5hrs with not cellular network (but everything else going via WiFi) and it's still at 99% battery life.
Uptime is 5hrs 53mins with Awake Time at 1hr 36mins.
Is the cellular connection using more battery than it should be?
it looks like a combination of issues.
1. the android system uses a lot of battery
2.cell standby uses a lot of battery but less than android system
i have a unlocked bell desire z.
installed CyanogenMod RC2 but had to roll back to a sense based rom because the battery drain was just too much.
I figured it out, Kik Messenger was the main culprit.
It's been great since I uninstalled that.
To figure it out o had to restore to a clean rom and install one app at a time. At that point id leave my phone alone for a couple hours and check "wake" time under battery history in Spare Parts. If it was more than 10% we had our app.

Okay, is it possible my battery for my One V is already going bad only 5 months into owning it? Over the past 2-3 weeks my battery has NEVER reached a full 100% charge unless I reboot it, otherwise it get's stuck at a certain percentage until a reboot. Then about 2 days ago I started to notice severe battery drain with incorrect percentage reading, my phone would literally lose like 5% every 30 minutes. And it would drain to 0 really fast but when I reboot it owuld only be a like 50%, then it would drain real fast again, i'd reboot and it may be at 40%, and this is continuing to happen.
So is my battery just going bad?
If u are rooted,wipe battery stats in recovery..... It might help.... And also, if rooted, which rom are u using.....????+ check your overclock....
I have tried battery wiping, it hasn't helped, I am using Code Fire X and I am OC'ed but i run it on SavageZen so it's almost always underclocked.
PrimoC????
Ask the rom developer about it then.... He might be able to help u bettet...

first wipe your battery stats from recovery and wipe dalvik cache then install battery calibration and charge the battery up to 100% then let it go until it become show zero % remaining then charge your battery and check the performance
You must be joking. The issue is with misplacement of battery. Remove the battery somehow and wipe the contacts and replace it

Simon has said that he's still working on getting the battery kernel modules working correctly on the CFX ROM. I would probably try a different JB ROM to see if it's really your battery, or just the ROM.

Hey guys I'm kind of new to the rom world and let me say i LOVE IT. So much stuff you can do with the android. I'm on a i747 galaxy s3 and I've just downloaded the Pacman rom.I've downloaded other roms so i know i flashed this one correctly. I even re flashed it again last night. Both yesterday and tonight my battery went to 100%-%50 in one hour. After i charged it up it would decline 20 percent in one hour. I look at the time screen time on and to see if anything is waking up my phone excessively. And all sings say to no. Any tips? I feel like I'm back in pre ics days haha.

when you flash a new ROM it is recommended to wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. If you've done that you should be okay with the installation portion.
Have you modified the kernel at all, have you over clocked anything?
Go to the play store and download BetterBatteryStats. This will help you determine the cause.

Yeah i have. When i installed i did the whole wipe thing. And I'm useing gsm batter monitor. All the readings are normal which is the weird part to me. And no i haven't over clocked (No need to imo) and haven't modified the kernel. I know that on previous androids you would have to do a wipe batter stats. I actually tried looking for that in CMW but i wasn't able to find it. Would you have to wipe the battery stats using "batter calibration" or wiping it manually in CMW? Or is that even necessary for galaxy s3s?

I would also recommend using Better Battery Stats as it is the best one I think. I always use the battery calibration app after I flash a new ROM. It usually takes a couple days or so anyways to have the new ROM settle in and everything. After a couple days you should see your battery life where it should be and not draining so fast depending on what your settings are.
Battery calibration is a myth and has been confirmed by Google themselves. Its all over the forum and wholly unnecessary. Those apps are useless. The only way to truly let your battery stats "calibrate" is to let the ROM and kernel settle into the phone after a few charge cycles.
Here's the Google+ discussion by one of Google's people: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
If you want to keep "calibrating" your battery for the warm and fuzzies, its your time and device.

Wow thats interesting. Everywhere i go people say that battery calibration is a necessary part when switching roms. Just out of curiosity what do you do for better battery life ? Basically what you use and not use settings wise.

Everyone's battery life varies. Honestly, it doesn't matter the ROM. The kernel does play a part in it but its how YOU use the phone, display brightness, sync, etc. Way too many factors.
As for me, I get about the same life on most ROM's I use after letting the phone settle for a few days. The only constant I have is the kernel I use which is in my signature. Lately, I've settled on one ROM as the dev is on top of his game with this device. That ROM is also in my sig.
