As title says guys, I don't no why but my battery life is just really bad since I moved from stock 2.1 Rom to custom ROMs :-(
Is it my phone? I can't work pig wot it is. I checked the battery usage #*#*4636*#*#) and it seems the Android system is using A LOT of it. I tried charging with phone off, clearing battery stats, not overcharging, but just can't resolve this issue.
Also, I have sync set to update manually and have mobile internet off always, only on wen needed. Same with WiFi. Screen is on auto and time off screen lock set to 30 seconds
I am using OpenDesire sense Rom
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I could feel WiFi siginal of 2.2 is much better that stock 2.1,
I suppose that the better performance will bring the fast battery drain,
if your custom ROM support WiFi N mode,
that really makes your battery life short that before.
I have the same problem and same settings as you. I read on other forum that people who updated to official 2.2 have even better battery life.
I cant even squeze 20 hours out of my battery :/
You guys should always post what ROMs you are using...
Opendesire 3.3, its the same with defrost.
i also had really bad battery life on those 2 roms
even doing nothing the phone would just keep dropping
go to official froyo 2.2
neophye roms for me have amazing battery life = 48 hrs..
Agree with cygnet

Is there another non sense rom? I really like stock better...
Check if the phone goes to sleep correctly. Spareparts > battery usage: other usage, since last unplugged.
I had the same problem, until I found out that the phone was not going to sleep. (running and screen on percentages were way off. Almost 100% running and a lot less for screen on.
update to the last radio
I found that after forcing everything to install to SD card my battery life plummeted. There were apps/widgets that should have stayed on the phone. Once I moved these back, battery life was back to normal.
I use Systempanel to see the battery drain graph and could see a pattern to it.
Same issue here, Will try Neophyte tonight
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, and it's fantastic! However batt life on .08 and .20 radio is a shocker. I watched a 1 min trailer on youtube, in and out and I lost 4% battery. Before with OpenDesire I'd be shocked if the battery percentage even twitched slightly.

I use Defrost 1.5a and I just use about 2% every hour when the phone is sleeping, and that's with auto sync and mobile data enabled. (disabled it's 1%/hour)
Always underclock to the lowest mhz when the screen is off using SetCPU and when you do use your phone make sure the brightness isn't too high.
I could make a whole list of tips, but I'm sure you'll find more than enough of those on the net.

I may be dumb but how do you force your phone to go into sleep once screen is turned off ?

(using Cyanogenmod 6)
When your screen is off, your phone should automatically go to sleep. Sometimes widgets or apps keep this from happening (like the music player), making it use battery as if you are constantly working on it.
How I resolved this issue was to find out what app or widget caused this. I ended up starting from a fresh reset, installing first all apps I really use (calendar/message widgets, powerstrip etc.)
I tested by installing an app, rebooting (or sometimes not), check the running time of the phone, turning screen off, and check again in 5 minutes. The phone should go to sleep in about 30 - 40 seconds. I am telling you this, because most apps causing this are widgets/apps running constantly.
However, I found in spareparts also that 'settings' was taking alot of usage time in usage statistics. A simple reboot did the trick from here on. But I am guessing I had installed something which made some app not close properly..
Maybe it is better to have a task manager/killer for these situations.
Running and Screen On percentages should not have too much of a difference if your testing and not using the phone while screen is off (music, bg stuff)
You could try juicedefender, it helps improve battery life by disabling unneeded connections while the phone is not in use
Hay I just left my phone on over night to see what uses the most battery with me doing anything.
The screen used 30% of the battery, what is odd is that everything in the settings is off or set to the lowest it can be set to.
Can you guys help me with how to save more battery from the screen, this is silly that its using so much when it's not doing anything.
What can you think of to help?

Are you unrooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Have you tried taking battery in and out? Or even when these things happened when I was not rooted I found turning airplane mode on and off to work or rebooting the phone as it might of just been a rogue app not allowing the phone to sleep.

hi ,
i would say it is a app,behaving badly ,( badly coded, battery drain? ) that's draining your battery like that ..?
i would suggest try "currentWidget " to check you battery drain ( just remeber to enable the log file, in settings !
my drain, if i leave it overnight,
say about, 9/10 hours, is about 3%/ 4% for this period ( 1mA /3mA a hour )
also try "SystemPanel " to monitor you applications over period of time .
i had same problems as you,
say 15/20% battery drain ,from time to time ,but everytime managed,to id the culprit , with above apps ..!!!
you can find both applications in the market ?
you also don't need, any root for these apps above .
good luck
I'm using LEEDROID v5 I think which shouldn't make a big difference.
Thanks in will download the app and see what they say

regarding the OP, with a lot of the newer kernels the power monitoring stuff is snafu, confirmed by Mad-murdoch on cm, thus the reports of what's using the power are useless, although the overall usage is correct.
Hi guys.
I have a strange problem. My Gio charges from 3% to 100% in 3 minutes. It says fully charged...
Of course it's not real charging, if i unplug it, and start to play a game or just see my mails with wifi, it consumes that 100% on 5-10 minutes...
I've tried to charge the phone all night and the result is 2-3h of working time. If i use power consuming apps, like games, than it's just half an hour... I think that the phone stops somehow the charging process if it reaches to 100%.
I've tried to calibrate the battery, with program from market, and wiping batterystats from CWM too... It didn't help...
The strange thing is, that last week it worked well. Now something happened and it's ruinig my life...
I had THIS ROM when it started.
I've changed to THIS ROM, and it didn't solve the problem. All caches were wiped during flashing...
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!
Anybody? Please...

Hm you said you tried to calibrate the battery so it`s weird. I have sometimes the same problem but after a calibration it is fixed. I can only recommend to charge it overnight , make sure you`re not overclocking it , make sure you don`t use wifi , mobile data , gps , see if there`s an improvement keep it only with calls and messaging for 1 day see how that goes. Check also the battery maybe it has a spillage altough i don`t think that`s the case. Sorry that`s all i can say
Thanks for the advices.
I've just set the CPU governor to smartassv2. It was on Ondemand. Now I can discharge the phone with playing within 15 minutes. It's better than it was on ondemand...
I will try to use it like a regular phone, let's see how it works...

The phone is 1.5 years old. On the battery the date is: 2011/07/26
Flash a stock rom with odin if doesn't solve the issues buy a new battery maybe your's dead.

also remove any apps or games you have installed since you encountered this problem, I have tried enhanced rom it gives a stable battery life, but its worth changing to a different rom like cm 7.2 by phiexz, I am currently using it and it gives a good battery life.

I've a battery old as yours (04.05.2011)
With any custom ROM my battery life is of 3 hours...
With stock is kinda 5 hours with 2G connection activated.
I'm waiting for a new battery, but if you want to keep your phone alive up to then:
- flash a stock ROM
- install as few apps as you can (I've G+, Stream (FB client), FB messanger, Viber, WhatsApp, App Cache Cleaner, AppZorter and xda app, nothing else T_T)
- do NOT use kernel different from stock
- hope you good luck because first times battery will be strange, after some full usage and discharge now I've the battery life I told before
Hope this could help
I have galaxy gio and it problem is whaen i charge my galaxy gio 3 min later to touch to 100 percent and then i plug out and on it then it show battery is zero
hey guys...
i have tried everything to stop the battery drain
switched to many different roms
under-clocked processor to 768mhz
set a black wallpaper
brightness set to minimal
did battery calibration
switched of all background processes and made sure no location seeking programs works.
used CPU spy, the cell does go to deep sleep
tried juice defender and deep sleep battery saver
but nothing seemed to work
phone locked on full charge drains 40 to 50% in night without using.
then after a few days later i restored everything and opened airplane mode and I went to sleep, in the morning the battery didn't went low a single percent. battery health is good as works really well on airplane mode.
i have low signal issues but i get text msgs and calls with no problems at all, and my explorer and s3 seems to perform well
my all type pf connectivity is off example: location access WiFi Bluetooth etc only gsm is working, i manually selected the network and set it to gsm only rather them auto from *#*#4636#*#*.
what shall i do??
i searched and tried many things from the internet.
i really want those calls i cant always be on airplane mode, the problem is 200% of the antenna draining juice to get more signals. please help.
is there any way to stop the battery drain or restricting the antenna to consume less juice?
PS:using cm10.1 by nightly version:19 Aug 13.
anyone??
one thing more i installed better battery stats it says
no or unknown signal
no data connection
and it is running continuously like since i installed betterbatterystats.
where can i get this bug?? or disable this service??
please give a detailed explanation.
There are a few good apps to try I use
battery mix (I think this is one of the best) and wakelock detector both from my the market.

Battery drain
I´m having same problems with my DHD, currently im using 4.2.2 Samsation (was it named like that but anyways 4.2.2). Without using phone it still drains 40% in few hours.. I got replacement battery from eBay and thought that would help but didnt help at all. I´ve tried different roms but would like to have newest roms without battery draining so much, so could someone share how to get it better?
And about changing radio, was there a possibility that you may brick ur device if installing wrong radio?
Thanks already!

yup there was nothing, no wakelocks etc i even underclocked my processor to 768mhz... the thing is the signal reception cause when i turn the cell in airplane mode and leave it over night the battery doesnt goes down a single percent. it acts solid.
i get around 18 asu signals at my place i check it from *#*#4636#*#*
but the thing is i was using an HTC explorer before switching to desire hd and with the gsm mode(no airplane mode) the battry stayed solid like the desire hd one with airplane mode(didnt dropped a single percent) at the same house same place.
dont know what going on.

In standby overnight, maybe 3-5% battery drain. A lot of things come in play though such as what apps you have installed, if your on LTE, or 3g, or wifi, or even go into airplane mode at night, etc.

first of all , I'd like to thank you for your reply ..
I've bought a new desire 816 two days ago and I can notice something wrong with the battery as it drains faster than normal
and it gives false percent as it increases after restarting the phone ..
I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting in turn off by itself then recharging it to 100% but then I realized It's still giving me false number
I don't know what to do ... It would be great if you can help

Have you tried a battery calibration app such as the one by NeMa in the PlayStore? It requires root but it basically asks you to charge your device to 100% which is done from empty to max in about 3 hours. At this point you go in the app while its still plugged in and "clear" the batterystats. This is the file that tells the device how much charge it can hold and on some devices this file gets buggy/glitched. It will wipe this file away and generate a new one based on the charge the battery holds at max. It then asks you to use the device as normal until it dies and recharge to full afterwards. This has worked for many and I hope it will work for you as well.
If you have excessive battery drain look at the Power settings and review the usage. If it shows a green line on awake and it doesn't show the same matching the screen on time then you have a background app sucking battery from the device. Facebook and its Messenger are known to be the culprits but if you download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will allow you to hibernate practically every app so there is no battery drain when your device screen is off. In combination with this app I am able to get an average day and a half of use with no charge and normal use with Videos, Music, Facebook, Messenger; etc. I average I use about 6-10 hours on this device with pure stock w/ root & Greenify with battery calibration via app done.

I fixed my battery issue. the exposed software killed mine relating to the same issue i believe you had or have. reporting wrong percentage. once had 50 percent, took it back out of my pocket and within 5 mons i had 4%. wouldnt charge.
Power it off... hold all 3 buttons (power+volume up+volumedown) after 15 seconds it will boot back up. this calibrated my battery. hope this works for you.
Wrong battery percentage report is fixed by HTC on 1.58 rom update. it works fine on 1.58 Rom
My battery on my htc is draining fast I think it went from 100% to 83% percent in like 20 minutes is this normal? I have disabled everything that I'm able to disable on this phone but once it gets to 70% the drainage kinda slows down
