How well is the battery supposed to be while running the universe V1.4. All I get is about 5hrs with everything usually off. Is that normal. Should I get an extended battery? Can someone like me to one? Thanks.

While I cant speak for universe V1.4 that seems to be extremely poor battery life, i am currently on Blazer 4.1 GB, and with Wifi on, and moderate usage getting a whole day or more on a single charge.
have you wiped your batteries memory recently or just flashed the rom? it usually takes 4-5 full charges and discharges after a flash for the phone to re-learn the battery.
I would reset battery data in the recovery and then charge the phone to full and then fully discharge the battery, do this 4-5 times and see how your battery life is then.
Thanks but how am I supposed to reset my battery stats?
Edit:Nvm Got it.

besides going into recovery to wipe battery stats there is an app called battery calibatiion (market). does the same thing.

1. No not at all just a visual fix.
2. Yes that is fine.
3. Only if you think it looks wrong or really high mine was over 20% most of the time til I flashed this now I'm at 2%
It does not extend your battery life, flashing it is just a cosmetic fix.
Your battery will last the same amount with or without it.
If you are in CM10, I think it is fixed already.
Thanks..

I use battery monitor widget pro and battery calibration to get my extended battery calibrated for new roms and kernels. It works fine for a few cycles, but after the third or fourth cycle, my total mAh measurements go all out of proportion. I have a 3500 mAh extended battery and have the phone registering that it IS an extended battery. The issue im having is that it will only measure 1400 mAh. Is there any way i can fix this or is there a better way to calibrate the battery? This issue is causing battery life to drop from 16-18 hours of use for a full cycle, to now 6 hours tops. Also nothing i do seems to get rid of wakelock either. Any suggestions for either?

Assuming you are using smelkus recovery, go in and wipe battery stats
I have amon-ra recovery. Ive wiped battery stats and everything. Its just reading the mAh wrong. Using cm7 and the mason kernel

How old is your battery?
Maybe about 4-5 months old.

Maybe try looking at hipkats guide. Its gruelling but gets the job done.
Mind sending me a link? This app is a pain when it comes to searching for topics. Ill post a screenshot for whats going on with my phone.

Ive started recalibrating for the third time this week. The wakelock will not go away. Im using the old custom set of radios to get rid of the wakelock. Ive also flashed the gps fix and everything I'm not sure why its like that. Within an hour i lost 13% and im connected to my wifi. Havent recieved any calls and as you see i havent been doing anything on the phone. I sent three text messages since my recalibration period started. I just dont get it.

Hi guys using wicked with trinity 7b. See a few people posting 2 days on one charge and over 6 hours screen time. Would like to know how as i cannot get anywhere near that. I use system tuner, odex my Rom and kill my tasks whenever possible. I use lh2 modem.
Anyone with huge battery time please help us out here. I'm sure many of us would like some help. Also if you tweak your build.prop press share that.
Looking for details. I'm not a noob

They are not using the stock battery. If you want battery like that, buy an extended battery. That is the only answer.
What I find most telling in many of these screen shots is that Device Idle and Cell Standby are almost always in the top.

Cell standby is actually lying. It was coded with a decimal in the wrong place and so it shows that it uses a lot more than it actually does. Purely cosmetic really, but can be annoying when testing battery issues.
Edit: many custom roms have corrected this btw.

No it's on stock battery. I get about 5 hours now looking to take it to a higher level. Pun intended

Ya, I saw that before. There is a zip floating around here somewhere that moves it from .34 to 3.4 and fixes it. But you're right that most custom ROMs have this (Cell Standby) fixed.
I just mainly think that Device Idle even being in the top 3 or 4 is a very telling sign that the phone is not being used very much.
Install the easy battery saver app.
I hate to be the jerk... but OP has spammed every rom thread nearly bugging about screen time. Nowadays its hard to get 6+ hours of screen time. Maybe switch to an older, dumber phone with not as sexy as display and you will have better luck. Or carry a spare battery... or strategically place chargers in common spots.

This isn't a battery screenshot thread. You charged your battery anyways.

The only way i could probably make 6 hours screen on time would be to lower brightness all the way down, turn off data whenever Im not using it, turn of autosync, underclock and undervolt. But then what would be the point of me having such an awesome phone

Because you CAN.

I do all those things (-underclocking and undervolting), and more, because I don't need most of this on all the time, and my screen time is great. Plus, I bought a 4400mah extended battery & get 4-5 days on a single charge.
Then u need an old nokia.

When you plug you phone in the charger the hours reset, my screenshots were to show that its not impossible to get 6+ hours, if I under clock and turn everything off I can probably get that.
The liquid smooth ROM has amazing battery life, you should give it a try I think you will like it.

Screen shots are great guys. I do want to see them. Most importantly trying to see if there are deeper settings and apps to freeze or avoid and tweaks to build.prop etc.
Rom and kernel and modem used would be helpful.
Also, you did charge but the timer will only reset when you fully charge the phone.

This is most I can get with everything normal on ( data, sync, and music) I can reach six but I would have to under clock to 1.3-1.2ghz and turn off data.

When restoring a nandroid, do you have to cycle your battery a few times for better battery life?
Or does it come back to where the battery life was?
Reason I'm asking is because I flashed a new kernel but want to go back to my old kernel without going thru 4 or 5 cycles for best battery life.
I'll never buy all that battery nonsense.
Is battery life an issue for you?

I bought two spare batteries with an external charger from Anker on Amazon for $20.
Totally worth it and even restarting the phone isn't as annoying as I thought it would be.

Well, it you dont wipe your battery log it shouldnt affect the system but I alway recalibrate my battery after flashing a new ROM. Search on PlayStore for the app : BatteryCalibration . It work great and I see the difference!
