Hey guys,
It would be really nice if people start posting the battery life of their defy on CM7 any build.
Pls mention the build detail and how much do you use.
let me start.
i am getting around 2 days 10-15 hrs on a single charge..
i am using cm7 RC1v2
i listen to music for around 4 hrs, i msg frequently, i take pics,only 2G, wifi for an hour, no gps, no mobile data.
Lets try to keep this thread alive to help ppl who are trying CM7 and wants to know how much they should expect battery life.
Thank you
I m having the latest build july 1 and it charges only till 95............
2g is 6hrs
cm7 beta 6
around 30hs
2h listening to music
1.5h talking
30m gaming
30m web surfing
auto-brightness enabled
wifi/3g constantly on, wifi never sleeps
undervolted:
800/45, 600/30, 300/18
up threshold: 90%
vsel1 when screen is off
vsel2 when battery <20%
wow...that alot of info...thanks..really appreciated..
cmon guys...70+ views but only 2 replies??
I've noticed that if I am busy and I don't have time to play to much with Defy (using it mostly for his basic function = mobile phone) the battery can least over 4 days with moderate use (talk time around 40 minutes). I generally keep it on 2G network mode as the 3G coverage on my current carrier is not so god and I use the internet/data connection on Defy only on demand. The screenshot below was taken on CM7 beta 6.
1 hour usage can drain as much battery as 20 hours standby. So "battery life" can hardly be comparable even with slight difference in usage pattern. Maybe how long 1% battery can last on average is more comparable.
In my case 1% battery can standby 1~2 hours, or use (call, video, game...) 3~7 minutes. I was actually recording battery level/time with pen and paper but not by impression. And I don't notice big differences among roms, including orange, finland, noric, hk/tw, or cm7.
And I noticed that after using the 720p recording patch to record video (in other stock roms, not cm7), battery would be drained at 4% every hour standby.
3 hrs of GPS tracking, screen off, 3G always on:
100% to 70%
Hi !
With rooted froyo (the official one from Orange France), SetvSel to undervolt the proc (vsel3 : 52V @ 1000 MHz, lowering by 2V the others vsel), i could go for more than 26hrs with one charge.
Now with cm7 nightly from 01/06 n°0114 (which by the way works like a charm and was really easy to install even for a noob like me), no undervolting at all, 9hrs drained 35% of the battery (with a more intense use I must recognize), which leads to a little less than 26hrs.
I will try to undervolt it, but I definitely think I will get a better battery saving with cm7 !
It's terrible to see that with some little tweaks, cm7 moto defy beats the stock one.
I consider that I paid moto enough that they can provide these tweaks by default in their product, it doesnt cost much time (in my case less than an hour) and it benefits a lot.

did u wipe battery stats?
if not then do it! download battery calibration app from market and use it.
u can also do it manually in custom recovery..
This is mine. im using CM7RC1

wipe battery stats after flashing a ROM..read few post above to know how to do it..
turnoff wifi,3G,gps,bluetooth and mobile data when u r not using..these consume battery alot!
or else use apps like juicedefender or green battery app to do it automatically..
reduce screen brightness or keep it in auto brightness mode..it will save alot of battery
task killers might help..some people says..but i think it consumes more battery then it gives
avoid using live wallpaper..i know it looks gr8..but its not gud for ur battery
try these and report here..
All the best
my battery uses is not normal
help!!!
the display use too much
sorry for it is chinese version
hope all can identify the icons

hmm..many people have problem with display..
its been only 33 mins since last charge..
report back here after few hrs and let us know if the display is still taking max battery or not
still not fixed..
after i use the battery calibration, firstly its good..
but now the battery stats is changing again the position
current position of battery 76%
20h 35m on battery
display 30%
phone idle 24%
android system 11%
cell standby 9%
android OS 5%
etc
(on airplane mode, wifi off (on for 1h), very low brightness)
Newly flashed rom, charged it full, and recalibrated battery.
only 6% battery drain while sleeping
But when im using it, it could use 1% battery after 5 minutes, but then suddely the next minute it has dropped 2-3%.
Sometimes it holds the battery, but then suddely it drops like crazy.
I havent let the battery die after recalibration, but i thought that after resetting the battery stats it should be more linear battery drain when im doing the exact same operation the whole time, so i guess it would drain the same amount of battery, not being that jumpy

using Current widget or battery monitor to observe how many mA it consume every one or five minutes? average 2-10mA is normal
Hi,
I have had this tablet (N5100) for a couple of weeks now and am wondering what the average battery drain for others/you is like?
Mine is draining around 1%/H when idle / sleep (screen off, wifi-on scheduled with juice defender, Mobile Data off, Cell Radio on) with little to no activity.
so after my 4-5 hour sleep it's down by 5-6 %. is it normal, too high/ too low?
my other device samsung galaxy player YP-G70 has much better results, but then that is a totally different hardware altogether!.
Thanks.
1%/h would translate into avg current of 46mA, which is not bad, any higher value would be a reason to investigate. On my device, after some tweaking the standby current as estimated by the Battery Monitor Widget is between 10-40 mA.
Anyway, if you want to find the apps eating your battery during standby, check the better battery stats thread.

Hi,
I have done a few tests of my own.
Overnight my battery drain is 1%(about 9/11 hrs )
I further ran a test in standby for over 24 hrs and
battery drain was only 6%.(from 100% down to 94% )
Good luck
Just want to add ,i get like 2mA in standby,
Also the 6 % drain (in 25 hrs plus some min.)
Include my twitter updates ,weather,market apps update, etc once or so .data off there after.

wow, that's a little depressing! haha
I guess i'll have to go on some app shooting spree and see what i end up with.
As of now i have put google currents to sync only while charging and disabled google now and some location stuff in google maps and that seems to have improved things some bit already.
bad or good battery
I play samsung note 8 without screen off , and screen on just 4 hour
i think note 8 only survive 1%/5 minute
If play 1% just only 2 minute
Hello
I have new Samsung Galaxy S4 I9195, and everything will be ok, if the battery life will live more then a day. First few days the battery life was around 2days. Yesterday i plug off from charger (i only charge when it drop abut 15-10% to 100%). I go sleep with about 70% battery, and in the morrning what was my suprise when the battery was below 45%. What the **** i mean.
And i looking for the suff about the cell standy and i dont know what to do.
I find something like that:

I use only 2G and in home i have always wifi turn on. As you can see in 15min phone eat 2% from battery when i write this post.
Phone is 90% time in one place where signal power is-73dBm 20asu
Whats the problem ?
I find this normal, 15 min - 2% (depends on what you are doing) i suggest you to turn your phone off when you are sleeping.
if i use chrome for like 5 min it drains 1/2 %
candy crush 10 mins drops 3/4 %
i have 17/18 applications so, it also depends on how many apps you have.
more apps is more battery use
so dont worry
Edit)
and 2% drain for posting this?
your lucky bro, my phone will drain probably 3/4 % (not sure)
@lgorek, to have some hints, read all this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380723&highlight=drain
It could be a bug in the stock ROM. arco68 seems to have fixed it in his custom stock kernel :

For 99% there is problem for now i test it and search of the bug.
I notice that when i restart phone when is charging or after charge the battery life is at normal drop, BUT when battery drop to 10% i plug the charger and it reach 100%. Something is not working fine becouse the cell standaby power drain more battery.
I give more info in few day i will have more photos and you can see it.
dsavard i will check it, but first i test like i write up.
