[Q] high battery drain on all roms!

Hi! Before i have got a drain of 3-6 mA with most of the roms, but suddenly all roms dain 16-20 mA. No matter if it is MIUI , cm7 or sense roms. They all have the same drain .. is my battery bad ?
Got my phone waterdamaged 2 weeks ago , but this bad battery time started yesterday...

First you need to calibrate the battery.
Charge your phone until Current Widget shows 0mA. Then go into recovery and delete battery stats. Let the phone discharge until it shuts down by itself, then charge until it is back to 0mA. That will calibrate the battery.
Secondly, new ROM's do take a few days to "learn" how to use the battery most efficiently so you wont get the best battery life instantly.

I know that ROM´s need a few days , but i have waited a few days ,and noticed that it is allways the same drain... But i will try calibrate my battery next

And please make sure that during the period of charging it the second time that you do not take it off the charger. That will mess up the calibration and you will have to start all over again.

you might want to try a new radio too

same for me. I tried everything I could.
I tried these roms:
-coredroid
-ARHD
-honey
-virtuous
-MIUI(current)
I tried these methods:
-multiple new recommended radio + ril
-battery calibration app + clear battery stats(recovery) @ 100%.
-full wipe 1.5
-re-root(hack kit v12.3)
-different kernels
When I first rooted my phone battery was perfect on any roms until I flashed ARHD,thats when my battery drainage happened.

how many hours you are getting now....with regular usage ????

I'm getting the same here... Started with ARDH too, then LeeDroid, now Virtuous.
Clean installs each time, apps restored using Titanium. Also re-flashed the recommended Radios too and calibrated the battery once.
Current drain is 15% / hour on Standby ~70+mA.
I noticed no unusal Wake Locks either.
I'm loving Virtuous, but thinking to go back to stock if the new Viruous update doesn't solve this.
Just whilst typing this I lost 2% :-(

Yeah this is no fun...

Try to wipe everything before flashing your new ROM. Like delvik cache & battery stats also. Maybe it helps

Maybe your battery has worn out which is one of the causes for battd/cc_file to read incorrect battery data from battery daemon and display it.
In that case the sudden bump it shows can be reduced but technically it won't help much.

[Q] Battery History

Hi,
I'm running stock JB 4.1.1 (flashed the GSM version when it came out) on my gnex and as of recently, my phone doesn't charge over 72%. My battery history doesn't make any sense, it gives me the history of the last 20+ days, which is a bit useless. My battery life isn't bad, I get a full day of normal use. Just the stats are messed up.
Anybody ever experienced something similar or has a hint the problem is?
thx

If your phone is rooted you can do the battery recalibration from Cyanogenmods wiki (you don't need CM to do this):
1) Charge the device to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings » About device » Status » Battery Level = Full.)
2) Boot to recovery mode and delete the battery stats (in the advanced menu of clockworkmod's custom recovery). Keep charger plugged in.
3) Reboot the device immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for [your system] to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the device, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.
4) Do not charge the device until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off. Recharge the device completely and then use as you normally would.
Does this sound like what you are looking for or are you after something else?

[Q]Battery acting weird

My phone was all fine, till i flashed Arco's CM10, then my phone started randomly switching off. When started, it showed 0% battery, which was weird as it was always properly charged.
Then i restored my CM9 backup, to check if it was a ROM bug, but I got the same error again.
Attached screenshot for battery stats. Battery problem or Software bug ? Anyone with same bug ?

After flashing the ROM, did you wipe battery stats? If not, that will probably be the cause of the weird readings......
Basically, over time, your phone would have calibrated the battery usage to your previous ROM....when you installed your new ROM (that has different battery usage patterns) your phone is still trying to apply the stats from the old ROM which is what is causing the problems.....wipe your battery stats then complete 3 or 4 full charge - full discharge cycles, and things *should* settle down....

Try the battery calibrator on the playstore.
If it still persist then the problem is in your battery.. suggest you change the battery with the new one
Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you

Or you can try this:
Clear battery stats via CWM. Turn off your phone, and charge it. Wait until the charge indicator shows up on screen. Then turn on your phone and leave it until it's full.
Sometimes when I get batt weird reading, that trick works for me.
In some occasion I found that offline charging and online charging shows different battery level.

when should i plug the cable if use ur trick?

Clear the battery stats first via cwm then turn off your phone after that you can plug in your charger.

Just like reddvilzz said above. After charge indicator shows up on screen, turn on your phone (but do not unplug the charge) and leave it until it's full.

[Q] 1600 mAh Extended battery problem

After 2,5 years my stock battery is dead:crying: So I bought a 1600 mAh and a 3500 mAh replacement from dx.com. I have been using it with MildWild’s aosp roms for a while without problem.
However Last week I want to try a new sense based rom. During flashing the new rom everything worked fine but Unfortunately battery status didn’t respond. (Until the battery die it shows the same percentage). Firstly I think this is a problem with this specific sense rom, and tried some other sense roms and unfortunately the result is not change. I tried some battery calibrators like JON RICHARDS Battery Calibrator and some other but does’t help.
So can anybody help me on this issue?
thanks in advance.

Try a nonsense ROM and tell the result.

I have the same problem with a different ROM and a replacement battery: the battery indicator freezes sometimes. Even if it is connected to a charger, the percentage value does not go up. And when the phone is used, the percentage value does not go down until the phone suddenly dies.
But I've found the solution to 'reset' the indicator freeze: power off the phone, remove the battery for a second or few, put it back, start the phone up. After this the indicator works well. Until you enter Recovery mode, then the indicator will freeze again after you boot to the ROM.

Thanks for the advice, but as said before there is no problem with nonsense roms.
