Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

AdamG's Official Froyo HTC Sense might hold the key to this since it seems to give about 2 days battery performance with the original battery unlike any other rom.

It would be great if he could share the knowledge
I am using LeeDroid 1.4c and I too experience battery drain issues...
Someone tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7170484&postcount=173 ?
There's a really good battery life on the OD 2.3 ROM Love it!

Thanks, but i don't like the interface.. want have the sense feeling
Drain
Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.
Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.
Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

Yup, that ROM has the best battery life by far...

people are having mixed results on the battery perfermance of adam's sensefroyo rom. i experienced a poorer battery life compared to eclair (i used Amer_v4 and the battery was excellent) but can still manage to last a full day usually. haven't tried out the froyo roms though.

btw aren't you're using opendesire?
I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1
Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off
Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers
I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?
I have no idea how to solve it. I have charged my Desire to 100% and after 3 hours I have only 20% left. I have not been using it much. Before upgrade it took about 24h to be only 20% left... Moreover the phone is hot when I touch it. How to solve it...?

I'm having the same issue!
It seems that the phone does not go to sleep (up time same as awake time)
Any help is appreciated as my phone dies within hours
Mine has done the exact same thing... With in approx 3 hours it had gone from 100% down to 50%, in the same normal usage in 2.1, it would of been lucky to drop 15% if that!!!
Mine dropped from 45% when i went to sleep, to 0 this morning!!

I cannot reproduce this, my battery life is a little better than with Eclair. However, I'd recommend downloading Android System Info from market. In the CPU Panel, you have the statistics of CPU clocking, it should give you heads up concerning a phone not going to sleep.
As for reference: my phone's CPU runs at 250 MHz 85% of the time, 1 GHz for like 10% and the rest is somewhere in between.
If you find anything, you should consider downloading Auto Task Manager as well and try killing anything unnecessary. It is not recommended to be using a Task Manager, but it might help in this case. Good luck!
Wich one?
There are 2 with same name. Google's and an other one

Did you all restart after reboot? And did you flash the latest radio?
I flashed to froyo 7 hrs ago, played an hour with it to see the new features and went to bed and woke up still 80% of battery (after mentioned 7hrs, 6 of which my phone and i were sleeping )
Seems to be 245 mhz 50% of the time and 1ghz around 40% of the time, the problem is that I can see that my phone isn't going to sleep according to the battery info
The new radio is already flashed with froyo, isnt it?
And how do you flash a radio without rooting?

Have you tried a factory reset aka hard reset? It could also be some app that keeps the phone awake.

The one from ElectricSheep. The other one is probably not from Google, but from Googe. I'd also recommend looking at battery draining apps in the settings (certain bad live wallpapers can harm battery).
As said before, if you aren't using your phone all time and CPU clock at 250 MHz is less than 80% of the time, something is seriously wrong.
I have the same issue..
After froyo update, the battery lasts only a few hours not even using the phone much. If i put in flight mode the battery not discharge ..
I think it's a problem with radio and not of applications. I already tried hard reset..
Moreover, the phone become very hot..
I hope the htc resolve the problem. I'm in holiday
excuse me for my english

I think HTC did good work here, but I'm sad to hear other people are having issues. Anyhow, I don't think our impression of better battery life is purely due to real improvements, but also because they fixed the battery icon (like Apple did with the signal, but in the other direction...).
Prior to FroYo, my battery icon would look like "50%" when there would still be like 75% power, "90%" would look like 75% and so on. I noticed that when I tried several battery widgets. You know, it's all psychological
I had 55% yesterday night and at the morning i had 49%
idk if its bad or good
Found the problem!!! It was an LED widget stopping my phone from going to sleep, if you have it make sure to get rid of it ASAP!!!
Cheers guys!!

Hi there,
I'm using a HTC Desire bravo with newest Runnymede Rom installed how the FAQ it wanted.
But the problem I have is not related to the rom I'm using. The problem is that my desire shuts down at a battery level of 25%. When I get it two years ago it was 10%, fine so long. But 25% is much more and in my opinion not acceptable. After each rom flashing I wipe battery stats and also a few days ago. But the problem is still there.
Are there any information about to "repair" the shut down to 0% or nearly 0% ??
Thanks!

I am using the rsk 7.1 Rom with the droidzone #4 kernel and I am 6 % at the moment. I tried all the sense 3.5 roms in here they all shutdown at about 18 %.....this is the first time in months I reach the 6 %.....
Sorry I mean 5 %

I am not saying that my setup works for you. Every phone is behaving different and it also depends on the batt. But it surprised me that this is the first time ever on a sense 3.5 rom that my phone shuts down at 5% !

I used to have that problem on all sense ROMS i tried. But then i came across a fix as it was called. I flashed the .zip in recovery. Booted back up. Charged to 100%, wiped battery stats using battery calibration, then let phone discharge to 0%. Then re-charged back up to 100%. It now all seems to work fine and dies at 0%, rather than 20%. I dont claim to have making this, you can also find it in the dev section.
The .zip file is in attachments

Hi.
The last few days I tested the method with the nobcap tool. But nothing works. I did everything like the manual said. But there is no time to plug in the phone when the splash comes. When the 3201 mv is reached the pop-up comes and the desire shuts down immediately. I tried this several times :-(
Also I got some jumping black lines with the kernel and wlan doesn't work. The Runnymede kernel doesn't support nobcap. :-(
And now the battery drains much faster then before :-\

Sorry to crash the party. I had a similar problem. The solution is easy.
Change the battery.
That's what I did and the problem went away.
OK. But in 2-3 I will get the HTC one x and therefore I won't buy a new battery.

I can not understand why it happened to me, i have been using gio for over a year now with 2.3.3 and my battery could take out 2 days with music, wifi and games but a month back i flashed Cm7.2 and the battery drained like hell.
This battery issue is killing me and i tried everything, calibration, wiping stats, flashing other ROMs at 100% and alot of other tweeks but now i give up.
I think its battery problem but how can this problem arise, iam thinking to buy a new battery.
Does anyone has same issue and changed the battery?
Was the problem corrected after new battery?
Please reply as your replies would really help me
Thank You!
reflash but wipe all battery settings and retrain all wipes battery effects are software is obscure complaining(intelligent?) battery deductions
but once max==min it fails
wipe battery after 24h load then drain as far as possible at the end reboot untill it does not start any more or boot cwm
then rest a while and boot Rom.
maximizes spread software min and max
but you can never beat a real dead battery

Very glad with the work done
But sometimes a pusher for results( nothing bad intended)
So u saying, i shuld buy new battery?
I already said im gonna buy a new one as this one is swollen.
I asked if anyone used new battery after the battery is swollen and their experience.
Will 1500mAh battery on gio do good?
1500 is fine, just remove batterystats

I have also problem with battery after about 14 months: battery will go down faster than before (in normal use - not wifi, data, games...)

- stock ROM
- rooted
- battery stats/history not wiped
batteries dont life forever, just like humans. however, batteries are smaller, also in life. after some time and lots of charging it will lose some Mah and not have the 1300 like it has normally but maybe 1200, and even less if you use it a long time.

Yes it is known thing of all batteries (in phones, notebooks etc)... ...but it is good to know, that battery of Gio will go down after about one year (cca 150x chargings)
Hi everybody...I have this phone and I have a problem.When I charge the phone up to 100% battery and then take it from the charger,battery drops to 99 or less without phone usage...And when I go to sleep and then wake up,the phone lost about 10-15 percent...Can somebody plesase help me?
Check what's keeping your phone awake during idle, "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Though you need root for these. You've nor given us any details of what your phone is and what ROM?? Try searching for threads on how to calibrate your phone battery.
Ohh sorry...My phone is S4 mini GT-I9195 LTE....I have stock android 4.4.2 kitkat...I have already calibrated battery and bought new battery...But same problem...
Will be an app causing your phone to wake
I dont know...i searched on the web and someone said that stock kernel have some problems

Not always the case... Depends when and where your phone was made. Could be a faulty kernel or motherboard but it also could be an app or a setting on your phone or an unclean install. Have you always suffered this issue?
I got phone about 3 weeks ago...and the battery was very bad so i bought new one.I also tried CM 12.1 but the phone is heating in unnormal way but the battery there is better...
You have problems with motherboard. Go to service center to replace it on waranty.
Powered by CM12.1
But my phone isnt on waranty...i got it used haha....ahh nvm,i will live with that problem.thanks for help!
Bad luck then. Normal consumption for our device is 0.2 - 0.3 % per hour in stand by.
Powered by CM12.1
How long does yours battery last with some normal usage?
Almost 3 days with moderate usage.

Your best bet seeing as unless you pay for a new motherboard is to try one of the battery drain fix kernels on here. Though I think you may be limited to certain compatible ROMs.
Why are you not staying on cm 12.1? For me it's amazing, i observed at least 100% more battery efficiency than stock (4.2.2). I also observed the same problem with high temp too. But i think we can't have it all. When i play games and the outside temperature is about 35 celsius, i do not expect anything less, because this mobile is not designed for this android version. I think that's reasonable and i finally can use my mobile with a joyful way without having my mind always on the battery stats!

Thanks guys! And i will try CM 12.1 for longer time to see if anything will be better!
