I try now since 2 moths running Android on the Kaiser with full performance.
I fixed several problems, but there are still some which frustrates my really!
1. The Battery lifetime is very short. The battery indicator in the homescreen reacts very slow, so it could be possible that I leave my home in the morning and the indicator shows a full battery. During the morning the Kaiser shuts down because the battery is empty. If I try tio charge it and connect it to the charging unit the charging process runs. When I disconnect it several hour (approx. 5 hour) later, on the display appears the massage that the battery is still empty. The problem is nearly the same with different Roms or Different Kernel. I never had this problem with Win Mobile.
2. I have a bad Radio performance. I tried several Radio Roms, but I couldn't fix it. Are there any possible values I have to change tio get a bvetter performance? When I have my HD2 next to the Kaiser it has each time a good Radio and the Kaiser has no Radio. Is it normal that the Kaiser has a worse Radio tehn the HD2?
I'm running at the moment the .25. Kernel with the update. But I had nearly the same problems with the .32. Kernel. Just the radio performance is a little bit better with the 25. KErnel then with the 32. Kernel.
I thik the problem could be at the kernel, because the problems are similar with each Radio Rom. Can anybody provide me a source with I kernel I can install which he knows thet the kernel will work very well?
I will have a stable Kaiser with Android and full performance. Thanks in advance for the help!
Can somebody help me please?
Change the kernel to possible an older one. And mind to use Kaiser specific kernel. Plus, What build you are using ? maybe possibly the instability of the build
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I tried the .32 kernel and the .25 kernel With the .25 kernel, I had a better performance the the .32, but not the full performance! Can you please help me with a link with a kaiser-specific kernel? Maybe I had the wrong one, but 'm not sure which one is the right.
I've tested several builds. The most stable ones were:
- not so super RLS 18 and
- My Modified Fresh Froyo Release 20-2-2011
But I had with both ones the problems as described above...
Battery status not working correctly eather
I have the same issue. Using the last kernel .32 and android 2.3 but have the same performence on 1.6 and 2.2 After a day my battery go to 70% decrementing smoothly with -1-2%. And after a day go from 70% to 15%. That is annoying do you have a fix for that?
Thanks
Until now, I didn't find a solution!
Does anybody have an idea?
At the moment I think whether I'll switch back to WinMo 6.5...
I found a solution!
I tried the following kernel:
2.6.32.9 [email protected]
In my opinion more important: I tried it before with an to 450MHz over-clocked kernel. Now I tried it with the mentioned kernel without overclocking and everything works!

Hi all,
My partner has been experiencing a few issues with her 'stock' Orange branded Desire, not only being affected by calls dropping and Data being unreliable [sometimes works, sometimes doesn't], but also pretty poor battery life.
On that note, we think it may be a good idea to root her Desire and apply a custom ROM. Are there any ROMs out there which specifically target battery optimization?
I am assuming a new ROM/radio will help resolve her call/data issues, so battery is the next priority to look at.
I'm thinking CM7.0.3 is the safe bet [moreso because that's what I'm running on my Legend ] but is there a ROM out there in the Desire community known for great battery performance?
On a side note, if you can also recommend the best radio to flash [unless it's part of a ROM already] that would be cool.
Thanks in advance,
c_man
At first reducing the brigthness-level, turning off 3g/hsdpa, gps and wifi (sleep policy to "never" [settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings > press menu > advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never; press menu and save) and only turning them on when needed will improve battery life.
A rom with a good battery life is redux:

I have installed it myself with the kernel in my sig. Especially the standby-battery-power is really impressive. IMHO all small aosp-roms like e.g. cm7, devnull, oxygen or redux will have good battery life. Furthermore, i good kernel with appropriate settings becomes important.
But final one can say, the battery life is most related how much you use your phone.
Hope, this could help you.
If your wife is used to the Desire as it is (inc. HTC Sense) then I would highly recommend LeeDroid.
Its well indexed and offers good battery life. The fact that it's based on Gingerbread (2.3.3) is a big help for battery. As far as I know Orange Desire is still on Froyo?
The big benefit with LeeDroid is that if your wife isn't as keen on trying to learn to use stock and likes HTC Sense, she will not notice any difference. It would be worth putting an ext partition on the SD card as well so she wont run out of room for apps.
I have installed 7.0.3 and my battery life drains super quick. All i have enabled is mobile network. So if you ask me.. .I would say CM 7.0.3 is not a very good batt saver.
Im using Redux at the mo
3ma drain on standby with GPS and BT enabled
ManU Havs Axi kernel undervolted with Vipermod
I found GV to be very good on battery drain too...
In all fairness you wont believe the difference in battery life between stock and a custom rom imho
Thanks for the replies so far.
@MatDrOiD - thanks, currently its between CM and Redux.
@JokerNJ - She doesn't mind having to use 'pure' Andoird, she's used my Legend on CM7.0.3 and know's its not massively different. We'll take a look at LeeDroid...
@alexander7567 - this is not what we wanted to hear. CM7.0.3 has done wonders for my Legend...

Positively or negatively!?
@MatDrOiD - you mention that you run Redux with Kernel: 2.6.35.9-Redux-SVS_BFS + ULV-Script.
Is there a recommended kernel for Leedroid and also for CM7.0.3?
This is slightly offtopic but can you supply a link on how to install/flash a kernel? I've not done this before [for my Legend].
Also what radio should I go for her Desire?
EDIT:
Doesn't matter if the radio and kernel you suggest are not the latest/greatest/cutting edge, but as long as they are stable and known for good performance, that is good enough!

Mobile network is one of THE battery killers at all. Turn it off and just turn it on, when you really need it.

I do not know a recommended kernel extra for leedroid. For CM7 (or aosp-roms in general) the manu-kernel is very good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883598
Furthermore the couttstech-kernels are very good (they can be used for sense-roms as well:
http://mirror.couttstech.com/android/index.php?dir=bravo/kernel/
But i would say, search for the corresponding threads of this roms, i think you will find a good kernel.
Flashing a kernel is very easy:
1.) Download the kernel you want to flash as zip and copy the file without extracting on your sd-card
2.) Go into recovery
3.) Do a nandroid-backup, just in case.
4.) Wipe cash + dalvik-cache
5.) Flash zip rom sd-card like you would flash a rom
6.) Reboot
You are done.
I would recommend to use this radio, which is the mentionend recommended radio in the corresponding thread for the rom. E.g. for leedroid it's 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08. If there isn't mentioned any recommend radio, just use the radio which comes with the rom. Nevertheless, you are free to update to the respectively newest one:
http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/
You flash a radio like you flash a rom or kernel. But when you do this, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE UNTIL IT'S FINISHED. With flashing the radio you update your desire's hardware. If there somehting goes wrong, your desire will be bricked probably. So before flashing the radio, check the md5-sum of the downloaded zip.
Thanks! I didn't know the method to flash a kernel was the same I've done radio before for my Legend so that's all good.
Now all that is left is for my partner to choose a ROM and away we go...!

Thanks, happy i could help. But after your last post i edited the procedure for flashing a kernel and named another recommend kernel. Take a look at it.

You are free to choose. But this is the recommmended and most used one (also by developer).
Danke schön...!
Fingers crossed for the root [will use unrEVOked 3 - this shouldn't be a problem even though her Desire is Orange branded as I understand it - someone please correct me if I'm wrong]
You Desire guys are lucky to have so many ROMs/Kernals to choose from.
For us Legend guys the choice is almost made for us [and I sold my Desire to own a Legend ].
Another vote for LeeDroid here for the Desire. I have been using LeeDroid since I got mine and have never had a problem with my battery life at all. I can go for two days at normal usage without a charge. Even with heavy use I can go a whole day. I charge mine each night in a dock on my bedside.
Thanks FlareHeart, is that running the radio/kernal that arrive with LeeDroid too? No other mods?
Now it's up to her to decide if she wants a ASOP ROM or one based on Sense .
Hopefully we'll root tomorrow...
I used Amethyst a bit before the dev jumped ship to Nexus S. It used Coutt's kernel for it and the longest I got out of a full charge was 2 days. And that was general usage (few texts/phone calls a day, push email, Facebook/web browsing).
Using Oxygen now and I frequently get over a day and a half on general usage with thalamus's kernel.
best Rom for desire
I have used devnull then gingervillain, all vanilla roms. but without sense there is no sense!!. thus I went for insertcoin 1.0.5. which is stable, very nice. u need ext4 partition. 500 mb ok. use minitool partition wizard for Windows. everything is working fine.

What Leedroid version?
Rooted, wiped, and flashed CM7 to a coworkers EVO yesterday. Now his battery life is awful. It dies every 4-5 hours with light use.
I really need some recommendations on what to flash to make his phone better than stock battery wise.
My wife and I both have LeeDroid on our inspires, and our battery life is ridiculously good. Her's will go 24+ hours with texting and facebook. Mine will go 12 hours with heavy email, txt, calling, wifi, bluetooth, etc enabled. I'm looking for something that will make his phone perform closer to this...
CM7 with the Tiamat kernel, Viperboy's scripts, under clocked @ 537Mhz, and I got 2days out of my stock battery yesterday, a new record.
Did you check for wake-lock issues? Rogue programs running wild he may have installed?
Check out spare parts and you might be able to find the problem.
He has no other programs installed other than the google apps and a new clock widget (that I use as well). Not sure what wake lock is...
I may try going back to a stock rooted gingerbread rom then flash the tiamet kernel...

if the stock rooted gingerbread ROM is AOSP-based, then yea, you can flash the tiamat kernel. But if it's Sense-based, then you can't.
as of right now, there isn't any custom kernels that are made to work with any Gingerbread Sense-based ROMs (the GB kernel source has yet to be released).

Hello! I've got a S4 mini black edition (GT-I9195 with stock 4.4.2) and as many other users I also noticed the battery drainage problems (standby uses too much battery). Is there no way of solving the battery consumption problem without rooting/flashing custom rom? (I don't care much for breaking knox as long as the problem gets fixed). I've read several threads about this issue, but still i need some advice on what's the best solution available these days.
Thanks!
You can try any custom kernel like on below ::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592308 Thanks to @SilviuMik
or this :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/kernel-brisk-v1-drain-patches-t2852609 thanks to @TheBootloader
Or you can try any stock based custom ROMs. Check out the " android dev " section.
Without root I am not entirely sure how we can improve battery as main problem is with stock kernel.
Thank you sasank360! I did read the brisK thread before maybe I should it. What do you think its best, those custom stock roms or a cyanogen mod? I'm looking to solve that particular problem only.
Cyanogenmod 12 is great ROM. But for me the battery life is lower that other ROMs I tried. In daily use of about 14 hours I get over 2 and half hours of screen on time with cm12
All lollipop ROMs give me same result. But stock based roms give me atleast 3 hours of screen-on time and I will still have 10% left @ end of the day. All custom kernels for stock based roms are same for me. For CM12 or any lollipop roms you can use @F4k kernel. It offers underclocking and undervolting options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568479 This is link for f4k kernel.
I now belong to the "Knox 0x1 club", rooted and running CWM+brisK kernel, hope this solves the problem!
I currently have a rooted m8 that's is running the gpe marshmallow rom. I was having massive battery issues so I downloaded gsam and found that the android os kernel accounts for 98% of my battery usage. Is this normal?
I'm also running xposed on my phone. Since it's an early release, could it be the culprit?
