Hi,
since i installed the ViperX Rom a couple of days ago, my battery drains pretty quick when it is in use. The screen and the back of the phone also get pretty hot after some time. Any clues as of why that is?
I would use the newer Jellybean Rom, but because of my phones H3G cid i can't use it, correct?
Thanks for help
Its not the cid that is important , the hboot number has to match, but afaik H3G has not rolled out the JB yet, and there is no unofficial firmware for your cid so yes in that case you are stuck on ICS roms !
But you ha e problems with viper X ICS, did you try another rom t check if its software related or that its just coincidence that leads to a faulty battery ?!
The problem didn't occur when I was on the stock rom (either rootet or not) for a few weeks. But no, I haven't tried any other custom rom until now.
I had great batt life with stock kernel on viper X , also with ncx kernel. You could try a different kernel. Also install better batt stats from the playstore. It shows you what's eating the batt
Ok thx, i'll try that and report back later. I'll probably try wiping the phone and flashing the rom again too.

hey guys,
i have looked everywhere, especially here, and couldn't find a solution.
i have recently upgraded to LeeDroid, and since then i am experiencing battery drain issues. here is the list of the things i tried:
re flashed after complete WIPE (with the .zip file)
re flashed after complete WIPE without restoring from backup
calibrated the battery
worked with current widget - keep seeing 40mA and above even during the night ?!?
worked with Spare Parts - keep getting FC when trying to view battery information
i have the matching Radio and RIL!
when i check the battery usage in the settings menu, i see that phone calls are just behund display
try to change the network type from WCDMA prefered to GSM/CDMA (PRL) kept getting 3G but no improvement on battery life
'where is my droid power' shows the phone at the top with 7.19% sometines its HTC Sense with ~5%
please please tell me what i need to do? i find it hard to believe that a custom ROM takes more battery then the stock ROM, i mean - whats the point?!?
highly appreciate it!!
Roy.
Is this battery drain showing even before restoring your apps (or any data)? If so, try a different rom but it's possible the battery is on it's way out.
well, to be honest i haven't tried flashing and installing the apps one one of thats what you mean...
battery out? meaning dying? i bought the damn thing brand new 2 months ago, when i was on stock Froyo - was perfect...
p.s. i havent restored the apps from backup - manually installed one by one...
Install the rom and don't install any apps, and see what your drain is like. If it's fine, install apps one by one and see if any problems arrive.
If straight away the battery is bad try some different roms (with the correct radio - very important) and try a stock (but rooted) rom.
If it was fine on froyo and has only arisen since installing a custom rom the battery itself is probably fine then.
yeah i guess that the only way to be sure... to install one by one...
ok man, thanks a lot!!! i was also wondering if there is an app i havent tried yet that maybe can pinpoint me to the source of the problem...

Hi Guys
I have a Problem whit my Phone. ATM i have RCMIX 2.0 running but this Rom eat my battery in Night from 100% to ~45%. I Read all Treads about long Battery. So i have all things off (Internet, Wlan, GPS, etc...). OK i think NP, flash another Rom. I try 3 Roms (InsertCoin 1.0.8,Ginger Villain 2.6 and Cool AceS) and i have no Lockscreen and no Themes, i can nothing do...
my Device
Desire PVT4 S-OFF Rooted
Wipe ALL! before Falshing (Always)
I hope anyone can help me whit this Problem.
Oh, i Use A2SD Versions.
Peace SDR
Record your desire's battery drain in standby with battery monitor widget for ~8 hours (at best over night, the time when you sleep and cannot touch your phone). If it's over 3-7mA something is wrong.
Already calibrated your battery:
Charge till full when on
Go into recovery and wipe battery stats
Also what u need to do is reboot and check which all processes are running in the background
i had a similar issue with google maps eating my battery in standby
Apps
Very interesting behavior...
I assume you did not install any apps after flashing any of the new ROMs? If it's not the battery, not the ROM and not any of the phone's settings, then it's another app...

It seems that something is leaking. You have some software which is overusing the CPU. I can't remember which version had this problem with the SMS app, it dried my battery in 4-5 hours. I would suggest to upgrade to 2.1.
I had a similar problem after flashing a kernel (kernel only, not rom), after changing it the problem resolved. Upgrading as suggested above may include a new kernel.
Hi. I have only 4 apps installation.
- vr.de
- Vodafone app
- xda
- zeitung
And the stock apps from Rom.
I try later the battery wipe..maybe its help
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
So, i bump my thread
In the last day i tested many Roms on my Device and 2/3 Roms eat my Battery in 10h MAX. 1/3 have many Bugs on my Phone (2 clocks on lock, apps dont run etc...) Now im back to the org. Ruu and my Phone still life over 2 Days whit the same Apps, same Settings and Sense.

You could try Oxygen rom. The battery life is superior, and if you flash the relevant hboot after s-off, you get a huge /data partition, meaning no need for a2sd etc.
Seems to tick the boxes you need, and you can always just restore if you don't like it!
have you calibrated your battery ? Try battery calibration from the market

Why should i do? My battery is fine on Froyo Roms only on GingerBread Custom Roms a Bad :> BUT i have tested for 2hours and no result.
I try maybe another Hboot but first i must read all treads about this- dont know to flash it or something else :>
I have an annoying problem. Im currently runnin Supernova ROM, which has proven to be as unstable as early AMD CPUs and I have been trying to get to the original rom running the RUUxxx.exe. Problem is that the RUU flasher refuses to work because it things the battery level is below 30% (which actually is 90%). I have tried pretty much everything from wiping the battery stats and installing another rom after which I tried to install stock rom. It's a no go.
Anyone got any ideas how to go back to stock? Or do I just need to flash some other 'stock' rom made by a forum member?
P.S. I have tried with another battery as well.
Have you tried a Battery Calibration.
try battery caliberation.
Hi, I've been suffering some random reboots (about 3 per battery cycle) and after every reboot battery goes down drastically. I've changed the ROM and kernel and it still happens. I attach a photo of the battery life (you can see when the 3 reboots happened in the interruptions of the graphic) and a catlog (it's my first catlog so I'm not sure what to do). If you need any more info or the previous part of the log just tell me and I'll provide it.
Mine is a GSM gNEx and now I'm on Rootbox ROM (31/01/13 version) with ak 670.42 dummy kernel but as I said, it also happened in CM 10.1, AOKP, PA and with ak purity, leankernel and franco kernel.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
it could very well be the phone itself. i had something similar happen on my toroplus and havent had the problem since i replaced it.
It could be your chip, but let's look at a couple of things first.
1) Are you dirty flashing by any chance?
2) Have you gone 100% stock and see if it happens there?
Nope, I haven't tried 100% stock, will try tomorrow (after doing my last exam of my degree). Also I've just had a reboot at 82% battery and the first one yesterday was at 82-81%. Is it a coincidence or can it be a hint? Maybe it's the battery...
Also I've been doing a full wipe between ROMS, no dirty flashing except for upgrades on the same ROM (just upgraded rootbox to latest JOP40G)

Well I would do 100% stock boot, recovery, ROM etc... and see what it does.
I doubt it's your battery.
My random reboots stopped after I stopped flashing custom kernels. Try a clean install and keep the kernel that came with the ROM and see if you still get them.
Thanks, then tomorrow I'll try going back to stock ROM + kernel and see if it gets solved, if not I'll try with full stock.
Greetings! I have this problem I realized after I try to flash latest ViperX ROM. My Radio is disabled and the phone doesn't show IMEI number. I have tried flashing the included kernel manualy to no avail. Funny thing is it works fine with older kernel from ViperX. Before this problem occur i remember I have flashed a few kernel before such as IcedColdJelly, Renovate, Revolution to name a few, all went smooth without any problem. Now I can't flash any of those above and sad thing is I can't even use latest ROM from ViperX anymore. Can someone point me solution for this? I can't find any threads regarding this problem with answer.

there is a viperX rom thread if you would ask there you would get fast better and good answers... which kernel did you flashed when you flashed viper? the stock from viper or custom kernel?
