I switched to jellybean (android 4.1) recently. The system is great. However it drains the battery much more than cm7. During a night the battery can reduce from 80 to 60. Is it normal? If not is there solution to extend battery usage?
Unfortunately, that is normal. Turning the fire off can save the battery, but I just charge it everyday. Compared to rooted stock, battery usage increases between 10 and 20 percent for me under normal use.

According to Better battery stats, most of the drain on my Kindle is caused by AudioOut2 wakelock. I failed to resolve the issue and i'm not sure what is causing it. I would like to know if anyone else experienced similar issues.
IMHO, it must be sort of a bug since JB is fairly new and devs need time to resolve all the issues.

Same exact issues here. And I agree that it will (hopefully) get ironed out over time.

I don't seem to seem that terrible of battery life with mine. I'm running twa_priv's cm10 and during the night it might go down about 7-10 percent. I do have Wi-Fi off while in sleep which helps.

That's not normal for a standby... it should be <5% ...not the mention that device does not have to communicate with 2G/3G networks (unlike smartphones), and on my smartphone i get average of about 3days (medium usage, light on wifi) without recharging
It's a bug - some process prevents device to go to sleep (aka. wakelock) which causes drain. I expected at least 2-3 days on a single battery charge, and tbh, recharging it daily is little bit disappointing Something tells me it's a kernel bug since i encountered it on every CM10 rom so far :S

Well coming from an previous ICS build it's a major improvement. Typically the battery life from ICS builds(That I used, Energyrom, AOKP Kindle Edition, GedeRom) would drain 20-30% nightly like the OP said, so coming from there it seems like JB fixed whatever was killing the battery. I can probably go a week with light usage on my kindle before I recharge it. ICS in general drains the battery on any device. I used to get 5 days on my Droid 1 running CM7. With ICS I'll go through 3, though I never want to go back to Gingerbread, hahahaha.

My record for battery on a smartphone is 6 days... using ICS
Anything that drains battery more than 1% in 1.5/2 hours in standby is bad, no matter what OS version...
I also have the impression that on a fully working Jellybean ROM, battery usage is more intense than on a stock ROM. I still prefer the advantages of the new ROM, and also charge daily. Being mobile, I use the XTPower MP-10000 Powerbank, which gives more than enough battery life and charges the kindle while in use to 100% full. This has resolved the issue of battery drainage for me.

then i wonder can we get some information to know where the problem come from?=> we can fix the battery drain issue on all GB build. Hope it help out devs. cheer
Sorry for my bad english
What drain?
Are there really so many problems with drainage on CM7/GB builds?
2d, 3h, 25m on battery with 60% left.
The first CM7 build i used is the one in my sig. I'm amazed by the lack of problems with this build
The only drain that's still ongoing is bluetooth on standby drain AFAIK. This DSP issue is not related to the HD2, thus I don't think it's valid to implement. With bluetooth turned off and heavy usage, I get roughly 2 days out of my device also... I really don't think the drain is a big issue. Honestly, the biggest issues is (And it's not much): Robot voice once in a while, some Wifi issues (EAP mostly), Wakeup lag and BT drain on standby.
the drain is related to the toolchain used to compile our kernals and roms?). I however can do easily 3 days with out charging on android, using the same setup as KrewsialNL
Actually
Actually, i get pretty horrible battery life across all builds...
it could be that I have a v1 TMOUS hd2 though... something is weird with it. I always get random energy spikes (even with sync off)
can't get more than 14-18 hours...
My battery drainage is fine using the Typhoon rom. I think some people are expecting a little too much out of their batteries.
It's only 1230mah if it was 1500mah it would have been way better.

How on EARTH are you getting that long out of your battery?
Are you using the phone at all?
I've used loads of different builds and never come even close to half that battery life, in fact no more than about 20hours MAX with light usage.
I am using Juice Defender to disable my WiFi and Data when the phone is not in use too.
Any tips?
I have run all the latest GB builds and I also get this weird spike (around 70mA to 100mA) usually when I leave the phone overnight (not charging) and this drains my battery down to almost empty by morning. This is with bluetooth off and wifi on. No apps installed on the phone.

mmmm That CM7 build has great battery life but yours is beyond reality... are you sure you haven't connect the phone in those 2 days?
Mine says "4D 10h 1m 50s on battery" and has more than 50% left but it has 3 green spikes (in battery use, I connected 3 times but didnt charge to 100%)

Well I was going to say exactly EXACTLY the same thing! Except that i didn't like Juice Defender
Is battery THAT GOOD?!?
Battery
well yes, it's certainly feasible...
it's just that MY hd2 specifically gets random spikes in energy usage.... I'm not sure why, been trying to resolve it for a while.
I don't really get those spikes in WM, only when I go someplace that doesn't have signal... it will spike up initially and then settle down (dutty's rom)
However, with these android roms.... i get random spikes of increased current around 100-200ma while the phone is in sleep. Bluetooth off, sync off, wifi off etc.
also, when the phone is in use... it is not uncommon to have current of 400+ consumption... hitting 500+ when web browsing...
I never got this high in windows mobile...generally around 400 when streaming youtube in wm. I'm wondering if it is an android thing...
edit:
in a perfect world, our battery consumption should stay around 4ma constantly... Which we know that isn't always the case because we have data syncing and signal strength changing...but to give you an idea....
if we have a 1230mah battery... dividing that by the current draw (4ma) gives us a standby time of ~307.5h....
that's ~12.8 days
however, with my current usage... say, i'm getting about 14 hours out of my battery... that's like if i constantly had a current draw of ~68ma...
Taking a look of my usage charts.... if we say the phone is only in use for 6 hours, and the rest is in standby for 10h at 4ma...
the 6 hours would have a power consumption of ~300ma the whole time....
which i think is kinda excessive....
meh. i don't know.
perhaps i'll upload my usage charts later... lately on this new rom, i've been getting only 8 hours of battery :/
but it could be because i've been playing around with it too much
I am on a TMO US HD2 first generation and I am doing good if I can get 6 hrs of battery with the stock battery and normal usage. No wifi, 3/4g, no GPS, and auto screen dim. If I am using the net or something like angry birds I am down to 2-3 hrs max. I have tried underclocking and still not getting a full 8 hrs of life. Would love to find a solid rom that lasts 12 hrs or more. Ordered an extended battery so maybe that will help a bit.

Thanks for the tip. I have a second HD2 that I test builds on and I was actually in the process of installing the ROM you mentioned last night I am excited that this may be the rom to drop on my daily driver I have noticed that non GB roms (2.2) seem to have much stronger WIFI signal strength so I am hopeful this GB version will have solid WIFI signal too. Love using GB but hate the wifi issues I keep having. Thanks agian for the tip.
Well, this thread didn't go anywhere.
I'm finally trying to get up the courage to switch to a NAND rom.
I get awful battery life out of my SD build I've been playing with and that is with a 1500mAh replacement battery.
I'd hate to switch only to find myself in the same position?

battery drain on SD builds may vary from SD card used.
I can confirm that from my experience, i was not able to use the phone on the second day (total up time 1d + 12h TOP) when i was on SD builds
BUT.. while on NAND (no A2SD no Data2SD)
I can confirm that i can now use the phone for 2d + some hours, depending on use.
All battery info apps told me that battery life is Good (not excellent, not very good).
Made the switch. Battery life as good if not better than with WM and SD build. I feel the biggest improvement came when I installed setCPU.

I just installed ICS a couple days ago and have noticed a dramatic decrease in battery life. I was able to get a full day without charging on Gingerbread, ~15+hrs or so. Now on ICS I am maybe only getting half a day. After 5-6hrs, the phone is about ready to die with any use. I was hoping it would get better after a few days but it doesn't look like it.
I have attached a screenshot of my usage this morning. I talked on the phone for about 5-10mins, and played some games for maybe 10 mins or so, sent a few e-mails, and did some light browsing. All pretty normal use for me. Before I would still be at 80+% still, down into the 50's right now.
Whats gpsd and why is it using so much?
The gpsd is a GPS like service on your phone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, Did you calibrate your battery? That might help
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Turn off gps until you really need to use it. It's a bug that keeps gps actively searching for a signal and that will drain your battery quick, as well as make your phone super hot.

Thanks guys, my phone has been super hot! I turned GPS off, we'll see what happens....
How do I calibrate my battery?
There's no need to calibrate your battery, I did notice yesterday that GPS was on even after I turned it off, but that was after using Google Tracker for a jog. I simply restarted my phone and it was fixed, lets not forget that this is still in early development. Although I will say that now on my third day with this rom, the battery is getting better by the day! Good luck and Happy Flashing.

Yep keep your GPS off and your battery will improve dramatically. When it works, it's a major battery drainer. We'll need to wait for a build further down the road for a fix.
The answer to your question essentially is, you don't. This phone has an auto-calibrating fuel gauge that makes previous methods of battery calibration (wiping battery stats or using the battery calibration app) useless.
For the one "possible" way to calibrate the battery on this phone, see this ...

But I don't think this is you issue. Turn off GPS for now and you'll be good to go.

how long have you had the ROM flashed? it may take couple of days to have it settled into the new system/software. give it couple of days with the same cycle of usuage/charging times.

I had the same problem but after a quick reboot it stopped, and even with the gps off the 3G/4G will still show location just no navigation.
Hell no BS i get 4 MAXXXXX hours with the fb17
On CM9 3.1 with Steady's FB15 Kernel and the FB15 modem I get about 1/3 to 1/2 of my previous battery life. The estimated mAh draw is also in that neighborhood.
From what I can tell it's mostly low level stuff that is causing the drain, stuff in the kernel and Trebuchet launcher. Exactly what I expect from early, un-optimized code. With time I fully expect that I will my old battery life if not better as developers get the time to work the bugs out.
I can't discount that some of my apps are partially incompatible with ICS and causing wonkiness as well. It also doesn't help that I enjoy ICS so much that I can't stop playing with it.
I installed CM9 FXP 127 yesterday on my Arc and the battery lasted about 8h only after being fully charged.
All this being in lock screen, no extra apps on except what is running after flashing the ROM, no toggles on to drain battery.
Anyone else got this problem? Got any fixes for it?
EDIT: 1 day before flashing CM9 rom, running the latest official ICS update I listened to music 7h straight on the phone with headset on while fishing and battery did not drain completely...still had enough battery to last me overnight when I got home and the second day (all this in idle). That's why I believe it's a CM9 issue
It may be initial syncing and stuffs. I tend to find my battery doesn't last the usual amount after flashing a new rom, but it's fine after a few days.
Thanks for answering. I will give it a few days to see how it holds up. At the moment I don't get more than 8-9h while in idle mode out of the battery.
Besides this issue there's no performance or any other kind of problems with the rom, at least for me (disregarding the posted known bugs ofc)

try jj'hybrid rom ithas the feel of cm9 however, it is highly battery efficient. in idle mode, it just discharges about 0.5% per hour (measured using batterydrain from market)

Can you say with certainty that rolling back to an older version of Android would give marginally better battery life?
I had a similar issue to you several months ago. My battery just became useless. Since I switched ROMs frequently, I also thought it was the ROM, but ultimately the battery was at issue. The Desire HD is getting up their in age, and so are the stock batteries that came with them. They can go from a decent charge to holding a pathetic charge in a short amount of time. Suggest you pick up a new one, you can even get higher capacity batteries for 10-15 bucks online.

Hi there, thanks for your help!
I did buy a new battery, one with an increased capacity. It seems that a simple battery calibration tool + juicedefender is doing the job pretty ok, the battery life is somewhat still disappointing as it was before, however acceptable.
You need to flash the Kangbang stable kernal V3.3 I believe and also use greenify to kill maps trying to get location and any other app thats opens without you wanting it to.
I had RC! CM10.1 and got 16 hrs and 30 % left before I cracked my screen. Now waiting for a replacement to fix it.

Hi!
I've been running Lineage OS for about a week now and I'm experiencing poor battery life. I get around 2 hours of screen-on-time and I'm not doing anything demanding other than browsing and social networking and I have the settings on Efficient in the power menu. I feel like stock was a good 50% better on battery life than LOS.
I also noticed that LineageOS System, Android OS and the Phone Idle processes eat up around 30% of the battery.
I didn't install any battery draining apps and I'm running the latest version of everything.
I tried reseting app preferences but it didn't help.
I also want to note that standby time is amazing. If I don't use the device the battery level stays the same while it's sleeping. When I wake it, it loses 2-3% immediately though. It seems that it only loses battery quickly when the screen is on.
Can someone please help? Is this normal battery life on LOS?

if you want more battery life you can use Greenify or something like that. It is stopping the background apps. This is a alternative way. Hope you find your solution

Ah ok have a good career w/ android.. bye
Hey.
I'm using the latest LineageOS same as you, on my LG G2 D802 32GB and having the same issue as you. If I leave my phone on table for a night, it usually drains 1 or 2%, but if I start using facebook or facebook messenger, or just browsing the system settigs, or just ANYTHING, the battery percentage suddenly starts to count down, like 1% every minute or so.
So i've tried stock LineageOS kernel and Lambda kernel aswell (most advanced, latest kernel for G2 atm), rooting and using Greenify, turning everything down to minimal, underclocking GPU and CPU frequencies, changing govenors, battery saving modes on, screenbrightness to minimal without adaptive, everything syncing off, bluetooth, gps, and wifi is usually off, but nothing really helped and it's been buggering me for a week. Compared to the Stock 4.4.2 or 5.0.2, the battery is half as good. Also, I've been reading posts and I've noticed that not everybody have this issue, because some people experience really good battery - or they just say that -, on the same phone modell. I've been thinking about reverting back to stock because of that, but I havent given custom roms like (crDroid or AICP, I'm torn between those two) a shot, but that not relevant to you because G3.
If I find a solution I'll let you know.
LineageOS doesn't have any battery draining bugs for me currently. Have you installed a custom kernel?
G3 D855 user here. Can confirm the same issue, with all nightlies I have used so far. Standby is OK, but it still drains faster than stock. When I use the phone though, that's when it begins to go down waaay too fast. One percent per minute or two tops, certainly at least 2x faster rate. Tried to solve it in many different ways, so far to no avail. Asked some people with D855 and lineage too and they had no issue. It's a mystery to me (btw I bought a new battery just recently)
Second that, same D855 with latest baseband 21C, i encounter same bizarre battery drain..

I'm glad I'm not alone then!
Same problem as everyone else.
Overnight lose only 1% per hour but using the phone it drains extremely quickly.
Look at this crazy battery history:
I've never had this issue on my other devices running CyanogenMod in the past.
Has anyone tracked this issue down to something in particular?
Phew, its not just me. Stock LOS nightlies, pick any... same issue as described by everyone above.
D855/32Gb etc and can not shake it. Wakelocks are all good, as meant to be, just screen on seems to destroy the battery. Have screen on adaptive brightness with around 50% brightness on slider in the first place.
Something is not quite right. Love every other aspect of LOS apart from the battery drainage.
I've got the issue too. I don'y know why but it starts to drain the battery quite fast during the usage of the phone. Any help will be appreciated.
I don't see an open bug unless anyone else has seen one:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-167?jql=text ~ "G3"
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-17?jql=text ~ "D855"
There's also this bug:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-364?jql=text ~ "battery"
which is similar to what happens to me, i.e. get to 30% and then suddenly shutdown.
I think this is the bug:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/REGRESSION-372
Clear caches!
I was having this issue, with Lineage OS as well as some others i tried based off CM. I would get better than stock battery life for a few weeks, then suddenly the battery would start draining in a few hours.
Booting to recovery and clearing all caches fixed this issue for me.

This is a hardware issue with the battery, not a software one. You need to replace your battery with an official one from a reputable source (careful, there are quite a lot of fakes around, so don't be tempted by saving a dollar).

This sounds like some app you're installing on your phone.

I'd generally think that, but I haven't installed any apps for weeks!

I had already tried this but no luck.
Could you please check your battery stats?
Does the percentage used equal the total of the individual apps?
In my case, it never does, e.g. 15% usage but only 3% used by apps.

Same for me - the numbers never add up. When this occours, I can watch the battery go from fully charged to 30% in an hour or two, but the battery usage meter doesn't show anything like that kind of usage.
I'd post a screenshot, but I've just taken my phone off charge and have no data as yet. I'll post one tonight - but since clearing the caches, mine is behaving at the moment, although I'm not getting the same all-day battery I was 6 weeks ago.
Same here
Also experiencing this issue on my 6P. Lineage OS system consumes the largest portion of my battery and I usually only get 1hr 50 minutes max of screen time. The phone also seems to die at minimum of 24 percent. Just shuts off. I no longer think this is a hardware issue either as other people seem to be experiencing this. (On a somewhat unrelated note, I also can't flash SuperSU in TWRP without it going into a LOS bootloop)
