I have had an extremely slow charge rate today. Plugged in for 5+hours and only made +60% charge.
Mostly while phone was off.
When its on i make almost no progress doing only light texting.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Just flashed to latest kernel and ROM .
As shown below.

What were you charging from? Was something perhaps running in the background on your phone that would eat current (i.e. would eat battery life off charger)?

im using cm10.1 stock kernel now, charges fast. when i was using kt kernel there was an option for fast charge in the ktweak settings
I was charging from ac even tried different chargers.
I checked BBS and no i don't think so.
Like i said the gain was nominal even with the phone off
I think it's something with KT's kernel running with tasks ROM that causes this.. I was using the same see setup and had bad battery life and slow charging. I suggest using tasks underwear kernel that came with his rom

So i was just messing with some settings and yeah i think it might be the kernel. I turned on fast charge and it is going noticeably faster. Even though im plugged into ac.
Ill switch to tasks kernel though and see if it improves

My phone's a GNex running the latest CM10.1 nightly and I came across this same issue while searching for a solution. I may have a different phone, but after some people suggested kernel switches, I tried it out. For some reason I was running CM's kernel even though I could have sworn I switched it out due to broken bluetooth. I re-installed lean kernel and bam, fixed. Didn't think it would work because my phone wasn't detecting any charger at all, but as soon as I rebooted with the new kernel, it started charging again.
I am having the same issue!
How do I install a different kernel and where do I find the link to the kernel that worked for you.

I rooted and flashed cyanogen 7 RC2 onto my phone today, keeping the stock kernel. Everything is great except it seems to take longer to charge. This is using a wall charger. Anyone else having this issue with this ROM?

Changing kernels will give you faster charging - I'm favoring invisiblek's latest right now. Another which gives fast charging is Chad0989's.

This worked awesome. I flashed the first kernel you mentioned and my phone was at 40%. 10 minutes later i looked and it is at 56%. Im not complaining at all, but is that charging too fast? What i mean is it going to cause any damage to the battery charging that fast? Just curious. I mean thats faster than when my phone was stock.

Lol, I understand. I will just find out sooner or later. Who cares, right now its perfect. I love this build and kernel combo. Any suggestions on setcpu settings?

The last few nights, I have tried a few different JB Roms. All with the same results. My GNex has a full charge before I go to bed, I wake to my phone telling me to charge it 8 hours later. With NO wifi or network data on. This can't be normal.
The roms:
ASCENT 3.0
Jelly Belly 4.0
New Unofficial Cyanogen Release.
No extra apps installed. Purely stock.
Tonight, I'll try it in airplane mode, and see if my network coverage is what's draining the battery. But for the most part I'm never without a signal.
Any ideas or ways I can see if the battery is just bad?
Also, what would the current Verizon radios be? I believe mine are up to date, but I guess that could be an issue if it is indeed my network signal being dropped.
Im on the 07/27 fitsugly cm10 rom with r225 franco kernel and for some reason my battery life has gone through the roof, after 30 hours of being on the battery is still at 56%. Granted im not using it much now but still i've never seen this type of battery life before. Overnight the battery dropped maybe 4% at best, wifi is always on and its fetching emails.
How odd have you tried charging up and resetting the battery stats ? May help

I installed the newest version of the ROM. I was curios what the different GPU kernels were for. Is there one that Toro should use rather than the other? I think I installed the 512 version. Should I not have?
Minooch + franco.Kernel #223 (see attached files). I haven't used my phone much in past 24 hours, but battery life is awesome. I use latest bootloader and radio firmware, CPU is set on interactive governor, 1420-384MHz, max screen off CPU frequancy - 729MHz, 512MHz on GPU.
I think I tried that ROM before, not sure if its just for maguro. I have a Verizon toro.

If you don't need the higher clocked gpu speeds then just stick with the 384mhz kernel.

Try better battery stats... I am on gsm nexus.
I tried jelly belly, minco , paranoid android, and xenonHD plus bigxies stock. I've used Francisco Francos kernel on bigxies and that gave good battery life but the others all burned cpu and battery, specifically via Android.mediascanningservice. and maps.
Right now I am back to stock 4.1.1 rooted courtesy of rom toolkit and with better battery stats and cpu spy I have a cool phone.
One thing you should be aware of is if you have a lot of media on your phone the scanning service can take a long time to run and calm down. I I upgraded my bosses razr to ICS and his phone took all night to update I guess he has lots of music on it...
To increase battery life you can install titanium backup and freeze maps, and wallet when I not in use. You can install rescan media from the app store and trunk off media scanning service. Or just buy a bigger battery.
This is not a knock on the custom roms. The rom teams mentioned above they are all awesome and are the reason us crackflashers have so much fun. I have learned lots from this experience and have a better grasp on how my phone works due to the efforts of these devs. For now I am sticking with stock... I'm sure I'll be flashing again soon.
You can never judge a ROM on battery life within a day. Every ROM I flash gets bad battery on the first cycle and most the time even the second cycle. You really have to stick with a ROM/kernel combination for at least a few days to be able to judge battery life. It may just be a placebo effect but I use a battery calibration app each time I flash

Resetting battery stats accomplishes nothing related to battery life or reported percentage. It's been debunked some time back by Google.
Alright folks, I seek help.
Ever since the ICS source code was released for E4GT, every ROM that I have used have been plagued by the same issues.
Random reboots
Terrible battery life
4G problems
I am finally seeking advice on what the best ICS Rom is currently (not Touchwiz).
So tell me:
Exact current build of ROM you are using
Kernel
Modem
Settings that help with battery life
These ROMS are amazing, it's just that I get terrible battery life, and I constantly have that phantom menu button popup because of low signal.
Is everyone who are using ICS roms, are you having the same problems?
If so, then I am not complaining about anything, I just want a really good stable build right now.
I am using AOKP Milestone 6 currently, as I had the least problems with it.

The best way to keep your battery healthy is to unplug at 99% and charge before it drops below 10%. That will keep the cells healthy, actually charging to 100% and draining to 0% will shorten the life significantly. I used to do that drain and charge on my og evo and went thru 3 batteries in 18 months

Sounds like something is eating up your battery. Try downloading BetterBatteryStats app. Fully charge the phone, unplug it and leave it for a while (about 1 hour). Then open the app to see what exactly is eating up your battery. You could post the BBS screenshots so we could help. Hope it works out for you.
EDIT: Besides that, you should post more info. Were you using the phone (playing games, browsing, videos) during those 3 hours or it was idle?
I noticed the same thing happening to me once, it turned out to be picasa trying to sync, using my google ID, but I don't use picasa. I was seeing 50-60% drain in four hours while idle. Check your sync settings.
When it happened it showed android system was using over 60%, battery.
I was having this issue. I could charge my phone to 100% unplug and go to sleep and 8 hours later it would be at like 10% i tried everything i mean everything even tried airplane mode it still drained. Put a custom jelly bean rom on it. Now my battery lasts all day. I just cant wait for

For me battery has been great but a few times i noticed its gets very hot and when i checked the CPU both cores were lit up at max speed draining my battery, after some googling a found this thread which explains the gsiff daemon is the culprit after a hot reboot.
No one has found what the gsiff daemon is for or what causes the ho reboot, but the solution is just use root explorer and rename the daemon so it does not run.
Have all of you having trouble with battery drain still tried looking at the term "deep sleep"? You can check that with an app called cpu spy. If your having that issue with the phone not deep sleeping, report back and i will post some ideas.
With those who do say they have deep sleep issues, post the ROM, and kernel you are on.

so lately i noticed my battery dieing super fast. the only thing i can think of it since att expanded lte in my area i basically get lte everywhere now and since then my cell standby is at 60% or higher my phone lasts about 6 to 8 hours now its very annoying... before lte it lasted a ton longer it could be a coincidence but its very frustrating if this is the cause because its pretty ridiculous
Post some screenshots of the battery so we can see more of what's going on.
If you flashed multiple ROMs on low battery then you may need to recalibrate. I did it with my GS3 and I wish I would have known about it when I had the S and S2. Download the BatteryCalibration app from the market and follow the instructions on it. I noticed I was losing battery life bad, but after this I got it back up to stock levels which is amazing.

I have faced the similar issue as your. After 3 days of constant inspection with various apps I figured out the process causing this problem.
Go to developer options and click on show cpu usage. If the top process is "gsiff daemon" then you have found the culprit. Download system tuner and kill the process and you can see that the cpu usage will go back to normal and your phone will deep sleep afterwards. :angel:
Hey everyone, I've tried posting this in the battery life thread but I've gotten no help in resolving this issue. This morning I unplugged the phone from the charger(I leave it plugged in overnight) and the phone dropped 20 perecent of the battery in under 15 minutes. At this point the only thing i was doing with the phone was checking a text message I had recieved.
I have optimized my phone so that I it only updates email and many other services manually but regardless a 20 percent drop in 15 minutes is not acceptable. I have calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app which hasn't worked. I have rooted my phone and am currently using the stock bell rom. Additionally, I am also using nova launcher on my phone and that is about it. The only strange thing that I've done to my phone is use a blackberry charger to charge my battery but I don't think this is the issue.
At this point I am beyond frustrated with this device need a solution now or I'll have to take it in to get fixed. Does granting root access void my warrenty? Do I need to unroot before I go to bell. I will post images of my phone stats in the next post.

Before you send it in or take it somewhere, download" Better Battery Stats" and see if you can target where the drain is coming from. And yes, you will need to return to stock but before you do you will need to run the triangle away app. That will reduce your flash counter to 0. I'm betting you will be able to find out the problem with Better Battery Stats though. Check your PM's. I sent you something helpful that I didn't wanna post on here.

I don't know what Kernel I'm using but I am using the stock Jellybean rom. I've basically just given myself root access and installed the latest stock firmware. I am using my original charger(plugged into the wall) and last night i left my phone plugged in for over 8 hours so its definitely getting a full charge.
When I was am girlfriends house I used her dads blackberry charger to charge my phone but I don't think that would have wrecked the battery in such a way. I have noticed that the battery seems to draing very rapidly up until about 75% at which point battery consumption returns to normal. I can try charging my phone whilst plugged into my pc if you think that maybe make a difference.

Ok. I gotcha. The charger thing only matters if you use the wrong charger all the time. It doesn't charge it properly. It doesn't do any permanent damage that I know of. I would advise using the Samsung charger whenever possible. Anyways, let your battery drain all the way down to 0 til the phone shuts itself off then charge it all the way back to %100 without taking it off the charger. This should recalibrate your battery. It just got knocked outta wack. It happens sometimes. Let me know if this works. And by the way, you're probably running the stock kernel. You can always get that info by going to settings/about device. Let me know if this helped.

Here are the image from better battery stats. I still ended up getting 20 hours out of my last charge but i am concerned with the rapid depletion.

How much screen on time did you have when you were at %68? How bright was your screen? There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. Were you playing games?

Hey everyone, I've tried posting this in the battery life thread but I've gotten no help in resolving this issue. This morning I unplugged the phone from the charger(I leave it plugged in overnight) and the phone dropped 20 perecent of the battery in under 15 minutes. At this point the only thing i was doing with the phone was checking a text message I had recieved.
I have optimized my phone so that I it only updates email and many other services manually but regardless a 20 percent drop in 15 minutes is not acceptable. I have calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app which hasn't worked. I have rooted my phone and am currently using the stock bell rom. Additionally, I am also using nova launcher on my phone and that is about it. The only strange thing that I've done to my phone is use a blackberry charger to charge my battery but I don't think this is the issue.
At this point I am beyond frustrated with this device need a solution now or I'll have to take it in to get fixed. Does granting root access void my warrenty? Do I need to unroot before I go to bell. I will post images of my phone stats in the next post.
thank you in advance for your help.

I have a friend who had the same problem, he had to get his phone turned in because his motherboard was malfunctioning.
He ended up getting a full phone replacement and hasn't had the problem since.
If you continue to have this issue I'd definitely get it looked at by your providers retail location.
edit: If you root you will want to avoid tripping the flash counter, which from what I've seen lately is very difficult.
Telus flat out told me in the store that they don't even care if it's rommed and have asked me what I like to use for roms etc which is nice, I don't know if Bell is as lenient.
Best of luck.

Use "Triangle Away" if you're worried about the flash counter...

Have u tried turning off location services in maps? Looks like chrome is sucking up a lot of juice too.
Have you disabled apps in the app manager that u don't need?
Start there too.

The previously mentioned %68 after 5 hours is pretty typical of what I get running stock kernel with ParanoidKANGdroid 1.40. That's while I'm at work, so I'm usually connected to WiFi, on silent, with most of my usage during that time being texting, but I do usually play games on my lunch. I have thought that was a bit excessive drain, so yesterday I set up CPU Editor and set my maximum CPU frequency to 702 MHz. I got pretty close to the same drain.
Today so far, I have the stats uploaded, and that seems much better to me so far.

Thanks for posting this thread, I'm having the exact same problem. It's been an interesting go for me.
Some times it does it and other times it doesn't.
I'm using cyanogenmod nightly from 1.3.13 with the latest ktoonez kernel and I've noticed that today, it's sucking battery more than ever. I'll attach a screenshot, but I think there might be something with the charger as mentioned earlier in the thread. When I charge it at night, I'm charging it off an old blackberry micro usb cable with a generic AC to usb plug.
I'm going to let this thing drain out and die and charge it back up to 100% and see if that works for me.
Does kernel make a big difference for battery life? For that matter, what are the main advantages of different kernels?

It definitely helped me. The main advantages that I see with running the kernel that I use is the ability to undervolt & overclock it. This will allow you to run the same frequency that you normally would but at a lower voltage therefore reducing heat & battery consumption. Google it & do some reading & educate yourself on it before you make your decision. I am glad that I decided to do it.

AOKP allows you to change those settings doesn't it? Or only with a custom kernel?

Yes I think AOKP will allow you to change some settings around. It will allow you to set you min/max clock speed & your gov & scheduler. A custom kernel will give you different gov, schedulers, & different min/max speeds. I use Ktoonsez's kernel & it comes packaged with an app called Ktweaker. He advises to use this app to control your kernel settings. I don't think that they will apply properly if you don't. Also you can undervolt with Ktweaker.
