Hey guys,
It would be really nice if people start posting the battery life of their defy on CM7 any build.
Pls mention the build detail and how much do you use.
let me start.
i am getting around 2 days 10-15 hrs on a single charge..
i am using cm7 RC1v2
i listen to music for around 4 hrs, i msg frequently, i take pics,only 2G, wifi for an hour, no gps, no mobile data.
Lets try to keep this thread alive to help ppl who are trying CM7 and wants to know how much they should expect battery life.
Thank you
I m having the latest build july 1 and it charges only till 95............
2g is 6hrs
cm7 beta 6
around 30hs
2h listening to music
1.5h talking
30m gaming
30m web surfing
auto-brightness enabled
wifi/3g constantly on, wifi never sleeps
undervolted:
800/45, 600/30, 300/18
up threshold: 90%
vsel1 when screen is off
vsel2 when battery <20%
wow...that alot of info...thanks..really appreciated..
cmon guys...70+ views but only 2 replies??
I've noticed that if I am busy and I don't have time to play to much with Defy (using it mostly for his basic function = mobile phone) the battery can least over 4 days with moderate use (talk time around 40 minutes). I generally keep it on 2G network mode as the 3G coverage on my current carrier is not so god and I use the internet/data connection on Defy only on demand. The screenshot below was taken on CM7 beta 6.
1 hour usage can drain as much battery as 20 hours standby. So "battery life" can hardly be comparable even with slight difference in usage pattern. Maybe how long 1% battery can last on average is more comparable.
In my case 1% battery can standby 1~2 hours, or use (call, video, game...) 3~7 minutes. I was actually recording battery level/time with pen and paper but not by impression. And I don't notice big differences among roms, including orange, finland, noric, hk/tw, or cm7.
And I noticed that after using the 720p recording patch to record video (in other stock roms, not cm7), battery would be drained at 4% every hour standby.
3 hrs of GPS tracking, screen off, 3G always on:
100% to 70%
Hi !
With rooted froyo (the official one from Orange France), SetvSel to undervolt the proc (vsel3 : 52V @ 1000 MHz, lowering by 2V the others vsel), i could go for more than 26hrs with one charge.
Now with cm7 nightly from 01/06 n°0114 (which by the way works like a charm and was really easy to install even for a noob like me), no undervolting at all, 9hrs drained 35% of the battery (with a more intense use I must recognize), which leads to a little less than 26hrs.
I will try to undervolt it, but I definitely think I will get a better battery saving with cm7 !
It's terrible to see that with some little tweaks, cm7 moto defy beats the stock one.
I consider that I paid moto enough that they can provide these tweaks by default in their product, it doesnt cost much time (in my case less than an hour) and it benefits a lot.

wipe battery stats after flashing a ROM..read few post above to know how to do it..
turnoff wifi,3G,gps,bluetooth and mobile data when u r not using..these consume battery alot!
or else use apps like juicedefender or green battery app to do it automatically..
reduce screen brightness or keep it in auto brightness mode..it will save alot of battery
task killers might help..some people says..but i think it consumes more battery then it gives
avoid using live wallpaper..i know it looks gr8..but its not gud for ur battery
try these and report here..
All the best
my battery uses is not normal
help!!!
the display use too much
sorry for it is chinese version
hope all can identify the icons

hmm..many people have problem with display..
its been only 33 mins since last charge..
report back here after few hrs and let us know if the display is still taking max battery or not
still not fixed..
after i use the battery calibration, firstly its good..
but now the battery stats is changing again the position
current position of battery 76%
20h 35m on battery
display 30%
phone idle 24%
android system 11%
cell standby 9%
android OS 5%
etc
(on airplane mode, wifi off (on for 1h), very low brightness)
I charged my HTC ONE X to 100%, took it out of the charger and I have now been 1h 37m 46s on battery, and it ALREADY has drained to 70% !!!
what my phone uses or so it says :
screen 78%
cell standby 6%
android OS 5%
android system 4%
phone idle 4%
whatsapp 3%
what does it mean 78% screen? that my screen is the big killer for my drain? because that would make non sense since I have not had it on that much..and still.....30% in 1.3hours? that's just insanely bad!
stock rom from Holland btw...didn't change a single thing to my phone since I do not know how....
any input on why it drains so rapidly?
thanks!
I would post a screenshot but I don't have ''root'' access'' or something lol sorry!

firstly you can take a screenshot by pressing power button and home button at
the same time..
how old is the phone?
you are ok bro. for me it drained 17% with 15 minutes screen on time.
this is one big lol.
i am struggling to get 7 hours battery life
If you don't mind the effects on warranty, there are some system mods things that can be done to improve battery life...
Otherwise try turning off extra wireless services, and lowering the brightness on your screen.
I was getting 8-9 hours outa my battery, since rooted and flashed leedroid's rom and I got 26 hours with 30% to go....
what a difference.....
Basically in android, especially LCD screens, you can expect under 3 hours of continual screen use in daily activities. Often way under.
I've gone through a Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S, HTC Sensation and now One X. None of them broke the three hour mark for screen on time.
Standby and other use, sure, you can push a day or so but the screen is the major killer. Even with 1900mAh after-market batteries for the Sensation I was just about pushing 2.x hours. Screen usually on auto, but often inside buildings.
Counter to what may seem obvious is that if you have WiFi available - use it. It uses less power than the data connection on cellular networks and can improve standby time by a fair bit. Assuming you use push notifications and the like.

is rooting hard? i searched it on the internet but the only thing i found was some half-assed english site trying to explain what to do...couldn't follow it, and also it didn't work :/
I don't know all the terms etc they use so that makes it quite a fair bit harder for me!
Two Questions:
- What are your Brightness settings?
(Settings - Display & gestures - Brightness)
- Do you have Wifi/3G constantly on?
(Settings - Wireless & networks: is Wi-Fi and/or Mobile network: ON?)
How to improve Battery drain:
- Go to: Settings - Display & gestures - Brightness:
and untick: Automatic brightness
with your finger slide the brightness level to much lower than it is now (I have it at only 1/4)
confirm with: OK
- Whenever you do not need to be online (internet), make sure to switch off Wi-Fi and Mobile network
- Switch off notifications for e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Email (you need to open each app and in the Menu have to untick notifications)
From personal experience, I can tell you that having internet on constantly aka WhatsApp sending notifications for each chat message, Facebook and Email sending notifications, ... costs you a lot of battery
Brightness at full level also drains battery badly.
- Following above-mentioned tips, you will get a standby time on the HTC One X of up to 2 full days.
Hope I could help a bit.

You need to get on leedroid Currently on 71% battery also, but slight difference in how i got there:
16hrs standby
half hour screen on (auto brightness)
5 mins calls,
3g/wifi/locations always on.
Very light usage day for me, but it's very different results to yours
M.
edited for clarity/typos
who would you have your phone on standby for 16hours....I used it more than half an hour a day (half hour screen on as you said) so that says nothing for me lol
and my screen has low brightness but that doesn't really seem to effect it THAT much, but yesn i do have 3d on constantly aswel as fb whatsapp etc...but I do need to be in contact with people so I guess there nothing to fix :/ except maybe a ligh rom but i have no idea how that works haha, might search youtube
I have the same problem but i'm actually using the phone.
As a heavy user (and i mean heavy user) i've yet to get more than 3 hours on screen time with this. once i used it for only 2hours 20 mins and the battery was dead. I'm rooted running leedroid and the battery life is very bad for onscreen time.
Anyone else getting these figures.
hi guys..
i am on stock rom updated to latest but having problems with my battery
take a look at the screenshot. i currently have 30% battery.
as you can see from almost 11 hours of my latest charge 9hours and 20 mins
my phone was at deep sleep.(only 1hour and 40 mins of light usage)
when its locked it shows excelent battery (1% per hour) but after an hour passes and even if i just unlock it and browse a bit my phone ,i lose 5-6% .
my phone is 4days old only.
maybe the problem is just temporary?
thnx in advance for any help.
I'm using an App called 'Screen Adjuster', in which you can set the screen brightness (say 50%), and then auto adjust brightness within the selected range (50% range).
You can adjust the brightness anytime, I found it is very handy because the original auto brightness is simply too bright.
One drawback is that you can click to install 3rd party apk with this App running, don't know why, but just for your reference.
This is what i get.
With surfing a little bit gaming and chatting.
So every night before sleeping I turn Data/ Wifi off, Past few nights ive noticed there has been a 12-15% drain in 8-9 hours.
Battery before sleeping 30%(data/wifi off)
Battery 9 hours later 15%
Stock 4.2.2
No Intense Background apps.
Is this normal ?? I don't think 4.1.1 had such battery drain with screen off and no data/wifi.
Thanks,
so u basically(roughly ) have 1% drop an hour? thats pretty damn good if you ask me
mine is usually 10 hours with intense use and 30 hours with minimal use eg: at work

That's normal at around 30% battery left. Once it reaches 30 and below it really would drain that much even without doing anything. But if you start with 95% percent and overnight drain of 15% with all off, then there is a problem somewhere. I usually have overnight drain of 3% for 8 hours.

Thanks for the reply buddy, 1.5% an hour seems higher, but as mrm43 said i think its the cause.

Thanks for your reply, I had a feeling about what you just said. But I don't recall this happening before, I could be wrong. Will charge up and test tonight and post results.
Also, I'm noticing my phone getting warm past 1 week while normal usage( Web surfin+music) area behind the camera.
So just to post back, I charged the phone upto 85% and turned off Data and Wifi, Woke up 8 and half hours later and the battery was 79%. Which is ok I guess, assuming only cell radio was on.
RE: Idle Battery life - Solutions?
Hello,
I've been using my Nexus 7 very little this week. But since I stopped charging my current battery stats read:
1 day 11 hours and 57 minutes on battery.
Tablet Idle (39%) for 1 day 11 hours and 26 minutes.
Aside from that I've had 25 minutes screen time and 20 mins Wi-Fi use.
I'm currently on 71% Battery. Does this seem like normal battery usage? I would have thought the idle tablet could keep it's battery better than this.
Any tips/thoughts on if this is normal?
Thanks

Make sure Wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth are off. They drain the battery quite nicely. Another tip is turning off auto-syncing for Gmail, etc if you plan to keep the tablet in sleep. Other than that, the usage seems within normal range, maybe a bit over.
Then again, why not just turn it off? It takes about 10 seconds to power up...
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Sony Xperia XZ Premium's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
damn no reviews for this lol im just here letting you guys know that the standby battery is amazing went to sleep yesterday at 12am with 69% of battery woke up today at 7:30am with 67% damn my old lg v20 couldnt do that lol
It's quite bad here with standby drain as well. "Phone Idle" is always on top of the battery usage apps and it's probably a few percent an hour, depending on charge of course. >90% it's 1-2% an hour, but that increases when the charge level drops.
Stock .145 rom with storm//'s hack and have greenify running
Standby drain 0,2-0,4 %/h. locked BL, .145, Greenify.
phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??
phone idle 4:11 hours
screen time 1:50 hours
36minutes of sniper 3d
7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)
I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!
phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)
not good at all, what could be the problem??
I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo
what else can I do here?

I don't know but I have the same issue for months... Usually 2,4-2,8% per hour (when screen off!!) and battery stats not showing anything relevant.
I have everything stock, and I am using Greenify since a ~week, now I have 1,5%-1,8% on standby (which is still a lot, but improved compared to the previous situation).
Is really bad because if I detach my phone at 7 in the morning, at 14 I am already at ~80% without doing nothing! That's also means that using it, specially a lot with maps or things like that, I am not able to go farest than 17-21 :crying:

i noticed that factory reset didnt work for me, neither does software repair
so what I did was, flashed .179 firmware, fresh flashing, wiped every thing!
battery life was almost still the same, it got a lil better.
BUT, I am now using stamina mode any time I dont use the phone much, in my pocket, or even if im slightly using it (whatsapp, instagram etc...), I only turn it off when im gaming or watching some thing which is getting me to lose 1% every 4-6 minutes when using the device, and not losing anything when the device is off (as I activate the stamina mode) this should get me around 6:30-8:00 hours of screen time!
also I noticed I had viberation on navigation buttons, I also had face detection unlock and "ok google" unlock, and google feed and a lot of widgets and a live wallpaper, and avg running in the background.
so I disabled all of these useless features as I really dont use any of them (maybe rarely) and i can feel a slight improvement. (still slight improvement over slight improvement makes a noticeably improvement)
so now I unplugged my device at 17:00 at 90% more or less and now its 22:07 and i still got 56% so in about 5 hours I lost 34% while 2:14 hours, screen was on so its very impressive!
I can get to 6:45 hours of screen use which is very very good! im still testing though.
Nah i know its too late to write this but,.
For you all who have a problem draining battery even at sleep try Greenify Donation Package + Powernap xposed module
Even now my xzp still have sot around 6 hours with 15% battery left. With everything enabled like x-reality, auto brightness, mobile data.
Btw i'm using existenz v10 cusrom + DT2W Kernel
