[Q] viper rom draining battary

I been using viper rom for a while now but the rom is eating my battary up. i loose 10% in 5 minutes of browsing or listening to music. Best rom out in my opinion but the battary drainage is becoming an issue. I wiped battary stats and recharged while phone is off and problem persist. i lowered clock speeds and adjusted profiles while screen is off but helped very little.
any suggestions?

Might be a specific app or something. Post a screenshot of your battery graph

I'm not experiencing unexpected battery drain on Viper. I'm betting you have an app or setting wreaking havoc. Did you restore Apps and App data from TB? That could be a cause. It could also be an App that's not playing nice with the ROM. Run some battery and cpu apps that may help you nail the rogue down. You could also try a full wipe and re-flash, then install your apps fresh from the market. Appbak from the market can help make this process easier.

I have used TB to restore apps...i would hate to reflash and restore apps the long way but so far this is the best rom out. thanks!

Im running viperrom as well and it actually seems like my battery lasts forever but its just reporting wrong. the other night I got LOS around 50% and when I rebooted the phone it came back on at 9%, today same thing happened, was above 70, rebooted and was in the 40's... but then once it finally does die, charge it for a few minutes and then turn it back on and it magically charged 70% in a few minutes, check this battery graph out...
I need to figure out why my awake time was so much greater than the screen-on time... I did stream pandora but that was less than an hour and it is only shown as 4% of the battery usage.
(taken with the netbooks webcam is why the pictures are so great...)

ICS battery life vs Miui/CM

I have tried Andromadus, Desire s port and ICS for desire z. Although the battery is better with each release, it still drain really fast.
When I say drain I mean in use. Not really noticed typical 'battery drain' from background services etc.
My DD has been various versions of Miui or CM7 for a few months and the battery is great.
Loads of people are saying that battery is good on ICS but I just don't see it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Well let's start knocking stuff off a list...
For each of these, think about what it's like on ICS compared to MIUI or CM7:
Brightness setting
Screen time on
Music time
WiFi time
3G time
Browsing/syncing time
Different apps running in background (how many do you kill if any on either?)
Any apps replacing stock ones? (messaging mainly)
Number of messages
Sound/vibrate on or off
Think about if these are equal for both. I've noticed mainly and largely that my battery drain from having 3G turned on is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than on MIUI, just an example.

Brightness set to auto on both.
Screen set to 1 minute auto off on both. Running time is just general use (as a heavy user).
Haven't used music for a little while.
So far most of my testing was on wifi so that and 3G were left alone.
As for usage and apps. I use stock apps on both. And any apps that I added were added on both.
Vibrate/sound were mostly the same on both with haptics turned on but selection sounds off.
As far as I can tell, without testing again to get the battery stats, my usage was standard for me but ICS uses battery like a machine. Oh and no app killing.

My observations are the same as yours no builds of ICS gave me more battery life than MIUI and CM roms.

I wasn't getting great battery life on ICS either until this morning when I flashed Virtuous Quattro. I'd say it's just as good as what I was getting on GB.

'Good' to see others are getting similar results.
I'll keep an eye on updates as they are bound to improve just as GB roms have.

with andromadus im back at a days batterylife, with ILWT cm7 i get about 27 hours use, 7 hours is of course when im sleeping, but i get 8 hours of music with some pauses for games.
here you can see where im playing games, and when im just listening to music

Mine hasn't been too bad. This was with AndroICS. Took it off the charger Christmas morning around 7-730am. Was out and about all day with some moderate use (ya know, to keep my sane around the family), wifi on probably half the time.
Then again I don't know how well battery stats are tracked in that ROM.

Battery issues with aokp

I didn't want to ninja the aokp thread so I'm posting this here. So for a while i was running aokp version 26 with no real issues. I wasn't following the development for a while so when i checked back they were at version 32 which runs 4.0.4.
I also want to mention I'm running no new apps, basically the same setup as when i was on 26.
Facebook seemed to be a big culprit and when i closed that it helped a bit. The screen seems to be using more than it did too. I am mainly concerned with all the wake time. The phone is awake a lot more than the screen is on.

That battery doesn't look too too bad actually.

system wakelock ?

whats the name of that app sucker app you posted.
reset your kernel, wipe and then flash again. It might help

It's called badass battery manager pro. I downloaded it last night from the market because someone on another forum suggested it. It's pretty nice in that it shows battery use app by app.
I'm also using lean kernel. Flashed it a couple days ago. Was using trinity for a while then tried out lean. It actually runs a lot smoother with lean but no battery change.
today it actually isn't to bad. All i did was manually stop Facebook. So once again it seems fb was causing issues. That app is junk.
i am still curious why it is awake so much. GPS is off, wifi is off (always have 3 or 4g), sync is off. Only thing i leave on is nfc but i have been told that is only active when the screen is on. I use no weather type widgets either. I have no clue what would keep waking the phone.
Edit: and what do you mean by reset the kernel. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I installed the rom, then a couple days later flashed the lean kernel over trinity. Is there another way to do it?

I only saw battery improvements with AOKP's 4.0.4 integration.

Quick update, i have a screenshot from a better part of the day. I'm getting a ton of awake time. are there any common culprits that i can maybe freeze with titanium?

Yeah, I'm going to stop using the Facebook app I think. It's such a drainer. I don't mind a game taking up battery on its own but something like that should not use as much as it does! Hopefully they fix it soon.

[Q] missing processes for battery usage

Hey guys, very new to the note 2 here and after I charge to full I only get a few items showing up when I go to
Check battery usage. Gsam shows everything fine but I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on this. It has happened on both Clean Rom and SkyNote. The last time it only showed screen and idle. I wiped and reflashed but it still happens.

It wipes it all when it's fully charged. Try running it down to like 60 or so and see if any other apps show up. My guess is that they are just taking up less that 1% battery over the 3 minutes

Alright I'll let it run down, but it's weird cuz android OS and System are never below 1%, they're usually always there. On Gsam they are showing up. Xda app is there too at 13%

Alright so I found a few threads with the same issue of different roms/phones unfortunately no posted resolution.
Tried wiping caches fixing permissions, uninstalling apps, reflashing the kernel. Nothing had worked until I reset Perseus kernel to default settings and rebooted. Soon as the phone came back I was able to see 8 or so processes and apps were now there like usual.
My settings are back to how I had it before all this started so we will see if it happens again

@ speghead, Yikes, I just lost all items in my battery usage screen except the main graph and hope I don't have to bomb my phone back as far as you did. Will try full drain and full charge first. What other threads did you find for this issue?
Edit:
D'oh! The per-application battery stats came back at the next full charge. On thing that can throw this off is that some battery meters report 100% at a point when the android system does not yet consider it full and if you stop charging at that point the stats may not refresh.

Not charging as quickly as used to since Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly flash

Hello,
Not sure if I am supposed to (allowed to?) ask for help or troubleshooting on Nightlies. ^_^' So sorry if I am doing something wrong. I'm fairly new and have only really helped a couple of people fix stuff here on XDA.
I have an LG Optimus G pro e980 running cm-11-20140425-NIGHTLY which is Android 4.4.2 KitKat. When I flashed it I factory reset, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache, and flashed the ROM and flashed Gapps. When the ROM booted up I didn't do a second factory reset, don't know if this is bad. Here is the tutorial I followed. http://true-android.blogspot.com/2013/12/update-lg-optimus-g-pro-e980-to-android_10.html I still have excellent battery life, it just doesn't charge as quickly as it used to. I think the battery life is actually better with Cyanogen.
I was having terrible battery life but it was because I had setCPU holding the CPU at 1.7ghz constantly, and CleanMaster wouldn't allow the phone to deep sleep. I can deep sleep now and have resolved all battery drainage issues.
Here's screens of CPU

That is after 23 hours uptime.

On stock ROM I could 100% the phone in 45 minutes to an hour from like 20-30% range. it would take only a few minutes when I was around 85%. It charged ridiculously fast and I loved it. Now on Cyanogenmod it takes 6-8+ hours to charge. I find myself tied to a charger all day now. Sometimes when I put it on the charger at night and wake up it'll only be at like 94%. I did some research and I think it might be the kernel changing the voltage regulator's amperage limit. I don't know if this is the issue, or how to go about fixing it. I haven't flashed a kernel myself (at least I don't think so). Kernels are new to me. Perhaps there is an app to change the voltage regulator's setting, or a different kernel? or maybe it's just a problem with the Nightly and it will be resolved eventually? Seriously this is almost enough to make me go to the stock ROM again, lolxd.
Also, I get the message every few minutes "Unfortunately, Google+ has stopped responding". Could be this be because I didn't do the second factory reset?
Thanks, the best.

Bad flash? Have you tried a clean install?

I did a clean install and it is still charging much slower than it was on the stock ROM. The "Unfortunately, Google+ has stopped" error is gone though. That's good. ^_^ Think it's just because KitKat draws in too many system resources? Then again my battery life is still great as far as I can tell... Hmm...

working
Thought I would update on this. It's working now.
Thanks for the advice on flashing again as that solved a lot of problems i was having.
It seems to have sorted itself out over time, though. It's charging just as quickly as ever now. (If not faster than ever). It probably just needed a few charge/discharge cycles for the new ROM to adjust to the battery capacity. Thanks for the help, though. ^^
