Help with battery, MA too high

I have wiped everything did everything you are supposed to do and im running 180MA that isn't right for a mod which nearly all are saying 3-5 is normal and 13 is high, the rom is PNK Killer Llama V2 my radio is 26.04.02.13 M2 not M2 SF, what am i doing wrong :/

Is that 180ma with screen off?.

3-5 is normal when the screen is off.
i bet you are measuring with screen turned on

Well i waited for an hour then checked again checking at half an hour and it was at 72 so i though oh thats good. then i checked at an hour bang 142 :|

I reckon it's an app because it's now at 5MA with everything turned off apart from network. im in a 2g only area btw but it's usual to get full bar signal so it's odd

Check the running apps in application settings and try stopping all that are not necesarry, do you happen to have sky news installed ?

I just flashed ARHD with the recommended radio and ever since then, my battery drains like mad. Around 75mA with screen off and 350mA with screen on.

I'm using leedroid 2.2.2 and latest radio 1-4mah drain with screen off

I had the same problem with the ROM Cyanogen CM7.
Consumption of the battery far too high.
You should know that the HTC rom with sense use a proprietary driver and less greedy.
For other's rom's, hacking in the kernel.
I going on a rom with sense, Leedroid 2.3.4, I' have never eaten my battery so little.
For Rom's nosense, I wait that problems are solved

No i don't is sky news a battery killer?

Yeah apparently

Not really mate, check out my battery thread i created from personal experience, if not then try reflashing the rom NANDROID first! also full wipe before you do flash, most battery problems and problems are caused by people not full wiping

nah i mean nandroid backup, post me your current widget log, ill have a look.
Also do this: goto phone/dialer then dial in *#*#4636#*#* then check the battery history from here you should get to a menu which allows you to view certain usage, look at all the usage and tell me what is first second and third on all of them, these are possibly your problems, also which kernel you using? his latest 2.2.8? leedroid has a fantastic battery life usually so this is unusual, i doubt it's your phone
i also forgot to add in, delete your HTC SENSE account, it's useless and eats cpu for breakfast, which means drain on battery is higher, and when i say eats it i mean 100% usage sometimes, this could be your problem, it was mine :L
also what radio are you using?

[Q] Runny Rom V6.0 Battery 20% Shutdown and Dialer Batt Drain

Hi,
First of all, thanks to
shubhamchamaria
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
for the awesome Runny Rom. I am not sure whether he will read this post or not, anyways worth a try.
I am a noob in flashing and after trying a few ROMs for HTC Desire I reached Runny ROM v6.0. I find it very friendly and super cool. But I noticed 2 minor bug (Not sure whether its just me ). One is the Phone Shutdown at around 20% and another one is battery drain by dialer.
I searched for the same issue in XDA and google but couldn't get a fix.
Any one facing the same issue or found a solution please care to share the fix
In the mean time I have tried to do clean wipe, clean cache (all), clean battery stat, reflash, use battery calibrator, third party apps and other common stuff in google but in vain.
Since i have a few screen shots to share I started a new thread. If its a repost, I beg your pardon and please help to direct me to a similar thread in QA (As I cannot post in Developer threads).
Since I cannot post pictures here are the details
Android Version : 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version : 3.5
SW Number : Runny Rom v6.0
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10_basekernal-gfb 1198d-dirty [email protected] #18
Baseband: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build: 1.27.1400.4 CL182513 release keys
Browser: Webkit/533.1
I will try to put a picture of the graph for battery usage

Solution
Hi
I found a solution for the Battery death at 20% at
h.tt.p:././.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534892
(Did a search for 15% instead of 20% ....got lucky)
But Can I change the Kernel to a new one for the Batt Calibrator app as the Runny Rom V 6.0 comes with kernel built in (I guess)...
Any advice for Dialer battery drain bug is much appreciated.
Thanks

I know it is almost a year ago, but it may help anyway: the Dialer eats up lots of battery after a phone call as it keeps probing a proximity sensor continuously. One way is to restart a phone after each call (a bit silly), another is to block the proximity sensor: add "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to the build.prop file located in /system and reboot.
Search for "dialer wakelock bug" if you want other hints how to deal with the problem. The bug exists in many (all?) GB-based ROMs

Best ROM for battery saving?

Dear friends,
I have had some problems with my battery, as you can check here:
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.

What do you mean by breaking the camera? I suppose only software...!
Thanks for letting me know that, I was going to flash ManU kernell with Oxygen Cosed! So I'll flash it over MinWildCM.
There is a lot of reading about roms but not about kernels!

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.
Cheers

I gave my old desire to my brother because the battery was dying , before I do so, I flashed MUIU rom, it seems fine when he is using it

OxygenMod worked well for me well.

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%).

Battery drain - custom ROM CN10.1

Hello.
Sorry if the topic repeats.
I am new to this forum.
I was given one old HTC desire. Installed 4.1 cn10 rom and now this 4.2 cn 10.1.
My question is about battery life. It drops quite fast. Is it becouse of the custom ROM or maybe the battery is old?
I suspect the ROM. So can you give me any tips for battery savings options, some tunning for deep sleep or any other tip?
I am new commer to Android world, before that for five years was with iPhone. Must say I love the droid.

Some general tips
Remove any kind of haptic feedback (vibration on keyboard, touch, lockscreen, etc)
Disable auto brightness
Use static wallpaper if you're using a live wallpaper
Switch off auto sync (for Gmail, FB, etc) and disable data connection when you're not using the phone
Switch off GPS if not using
Set 'quite hours' in the nights were the phone goes to deep sleep mode and minimal battery is used
That is all I can think for now. If battery still drains, install 'Better Battery Stats' and monitor which app is draining your battery. You can take appropriate action based on it.

[Q] T-999 S III gets really hot and kills battery in matter of couple hours.

(this is my first post so im sorry if i posted in the wrong place or asked in the wrong area)
A couple nights ago i flashed a 4.2.2 P.A.C man ROM ( dont get me wrong i love this ROM thanks to the devs ) but ever since i installed this ROM my phone has been heating up to temperatures like 96 degrees Fahrenheit this kills my battery really fast, i just use basic apps like stock messaging app or apollo music player :'(
(today i unplugged my phone from the charger at around 7:25 AM and by 10:00 AM i was down to about 23% battery life) along with this sometimes my phone crashes ( i believe its from the heat) and i have to pull my battery pack out and reinsert it to boot up the phone.
I love this ROM but this is irritating me i cant get 5 hours out of my battery i already tried a new SIII battery and the same thing happened.
If someone could please help me or atleast guide me somewhere that would help me i would appreciate it i used to love listening to music on my way home but now i cant :/

try to reflash the rom with full wipe . if that doesnt work use another rom in the meantime. i would of said use another battery, but you stated the problem continued. i think its the rom

Sounds like something may be keeping the CPU at 100%. Let's see some stats?

Wouldn't go as far as the rom is the issue as the person using the rom (not a shot at you op) we need more details on what you did to install and what you came from and stuff. Might be your boot loader needs to be updated. Might be a kernel issue. Like I said can't immediately run and blame roms, even though its possible. Download betterbatterystats and report battery life with detailed info.

The pacman rom is an CM10/AOSP/AOKP or a ported rom.
It is an excellent rom for developers and for those people who like to do a lot of experimentation with their phones.
What I would suggest is to flash a custom rom like "Wicked V10", "Darthstalker X2" or the "STOCKORAMA" V2 rom.
Any custom roms based on Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 would be a very excellent choice.
These custom roms are feature packed with themes, addons, mods and other extras. - Check em out!
Here are the links to those roms in case you decide to flash one of them.
STOCKORAMA | VERSION 2 | Aroma | Multi-Carrier | Multi-Window
WICKED™ v10 | AROMA | Rom Control | Full Customization
DARTHSTALKER ☆ | VERSION X2 | Aroma | Multi-Carrier | Customizable
Good luck!

Please stop posting that its only a good rom for developers... I used aosp type builds steady for 5 months except for when I worked in a certain job site and had to have WiFi calling, I restored right away as soon as possible. It might not be 100% stable but its good for a very very large community including some friends of mine who know close to nothing about phones or modding and devving. Those other ROMs are just opinion (not bad ones at all) and you aren't helping the op at all with his question that he asked.
