Just recieved my 2400 MAH extended battery, I have had the device running now for 12 hours straight with all connectivity turned on (including syncing, wifi, data) and in that time I have also done some web browsing. The battery is still at 100%.
I know it is an extended battery but still, by now my standard battery would be at 50% roughly.
My concept is that the standard battery the phone comes with maybe faulty or have some problems?
Any thoughts or ideas?

It heavily depends on the ROM you're using... I've tested several Sense and non Sense ROMs and the variation of the battery could go from 1 to 3 days aprox. I'm actually using OpenDesire latest ROM and its easy to get 2 days of battery life with a normal use and 3G/Sync enabled all the time.
Obviously having a more powerfull battery also helps...

Well i've got an unrooted desire and using stock 2.2 rom. The battery life has been so bad, even when i turn syncing off.
I know its an extended battery but still why was the standard battery so bad
Hmm. Not sure. I don't have a bad battery life, but that sounds pretty awesome as far as battery life goes. You wouldn't happen to have a link to where you bought that from would ya? Would be interested in taking a look at it my self. Is it larger then the normal battery, or just higher capacity? I know many of the aftermarket batteries are a good deal larger then the stock ones.

I can't see how your battery could possibly show 100% after 12hrs usage
It's either bad battery stats, or the battery status indicator isn't scaled correctly for your battery.

Dave
it is probably because its voltage figure is still higher than that of a standard one.
Greetings everyone!
I'm facing battery issues using Gimmeabreak 2.0.6, but (maybe) read somewhere that is a cyanogenmod related problem, but I still can't find a way to solve this problem.
I got huge battery drain by screen from (40% to 50%), with auto backlight, 1 min shut off.
Battery is 2 months new, cleaned cache and dalvik cache from recovery, recalibrated battery.
Is a rom related problem or a cyanogenmod problem and there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Thats an awesome rom by an awesome developer.. If you concerned about battery use Gimmeabreak 1.1.. Best battery backup and most features as 2.0.6... Dirty flash over it...
Thanks, I'll try that later!
I think that for most ROMs, custom ones at least, the biggest battery drain is often from the display/screen. I'm currently using Jellytime 4.2.2 R11 and my battery drain from the screen is ~40% but I still get a decent 15-18 hours of usage daily before recharge. You could try saving battery life by disabling other features such as Google location reporting and turn auto syncs off your accounts
Hope my input could help :good:

The only other things I could think of would be to:
1) Wipe battery stats via recovery
2) Recalibrate the battery (but I see you've already done that)
3) Use the app BetterBatteryStats to find out what apps are keeping your phone "awake" cos it could most probably be just an app causing battery drain.
4) Worse-comes-to-worst, buy a new battery?!

eheh! Done everything, used another battery, still no solution!
I think I'll wait for a stable kit-kat rom!
Same case here
I have the same battery drainage issue. The battery drains from 80-70 or 50-40 in matter of mins or sometimes seconds when the screen is on. I guess its something to do with the CM ROM. I also use Greenify and i've hibernated most of the apps that relies on GCM.
Any good battery saving kernel's for CM10.1?
Wipe battery stats via recovery seems to help a little
It seems like a normal drain, I have the same drain for screen, is pretty big for the battery...

My battery is 2 year old, normally the screen uses about 50% to 60% with also auto and 1 min. I think your battery drain is not very normal.

I think you should consider replacing the battery after 2 yrs. It.s cheap, at least on ebay, you can buy one of 2-3000mah. I did so and the problems stopped, but I didn't had such a battery drain. Try a different rom, I.m on JellyTime R10, and I find it most stable and no battery drain.

Normally the battery can hang on about 1 day for a regular use, and I have 3 backups, after this one dead I will use another one. After randomblame release the stable 4.4 I will try. Maybe it's a cure for all problems, haha
Cheers

Don't know, seems to affect every rom I try... On slimbean 4.3.1 the screen drain the 80%

Seems you need a new battery too
I'm thinking if it's not because of the battery life or the ROM, maybe it's some apps are using too much resource. I've tracked my CPU usage, one weather app was always using about 20% CPU.

Sorry to bother you, bit which brand and model of batteries do you buy and use?
I already searched many and many opinions, reviews, etc...
And all say the best ones are OEM, Mugen and Anker.
I really want the brand with the best battery life 100% to 0% , bit also the best life and reability to end of life (years) based onde old users that buyed.
And best quality too, this is with temperature sensor and protection overcharche, trust legit laws, that things =D
Which are your recomendations guys/girls?
Thanjs so much
PS: sorry errors of keyboard correction prediction, and english not my native language. Lol.

It was just some batterys without a brand, haha. I think it's not gona be a big problem if we use a third party brand, just don't use too cheap one I think. I'm using it even with CPU overclock to 1.5GHz.
My battery discharges pretty quickly and I just don't know what to do anymore...
It usually goes down pretty fast when I'm connected to wifi. I think the main culprit might be Kernel (Android OS). Please take a look at some screenshots I took while using the Gsam battery monitor app and Better Battery Stats app and correct me if I'm wrong.
I have stock ROM, stock Kernel and my Radio version is: 5.1204.167.31
What do you think I should do? Change the Kernel, Radio or maybe both?
And if so, what would version would you suggest for my stock ROM?
Or should I just replace the battery and hope that fixes the issue...
Wifi will definately drain it quicker, usually keep mine turned off until I use it. Depending on how old the phone is definately affects battery life, mine is now just over 2 years old and I find that although it charges to 100%, it will drop to 91% in the first 5 minutes of using it. HTC has a self test in the dialer enter *#*#3424#*#* then follow through to the battery test. I think phone needs to be in airplane mode and has to be fully charged, then leave it on for an extra hour or two. Test takes an hour and from memory if battery is above 70% it passes.

Mine does the same. It drops to 91% fairly quickly after charging. I did the HTC battery test about a month ago and it showed 81% battery left after the test (it said that if it's below 70% the battery might be faulty).
Since I made this thread, I managed to change the stock kernel and now I'm using Alex's kernel. The battery usage is much better but still the Android OS or kernel drains much of the battery.
Do you think changing the battery completely I might have better results?

Before Alex's kernel, I tried XM's latest kernel because I read on OP's thread that it works with stock ROM too, but I never managed to boot my phone after flashing it. (and I did everything right I think: cleared fastboot cache, fastboot flashed the boot.img then flashed the zip in recovery)
I am all for trying lyapota's kernel but the download links have been removed in the official thread I think. Can you provide me with a link for downloading please?
Try app called greenify

@bigsupersquid and other developers please help me!
From the date i'd rooted and started customising my phone, my phone is charging almost 1% per 6-7 minutes!!!
This is insane...
I've changed the charger, the usb cables and till now the problem is being faced.
Is it any software issue?
What should i do?
It is not charging man! :crying: @rjcool1999 and others please help

Flash your stock rom once again, if your phone gets quickly charged then there is some software issue and if the problem still persists then I think there is some problem in the microusb port

Brother successfully flashed ota, now phone's software is fully stock including Bootloader.
Till date phone was company stock, it was working fine :crying:
I know my 816 sometimes has to be turned off (and stay off) to charge. Otherwise it'll drain itself dead while plugged in. After a good solid charge it'll work again for a while without having to turn it off for charging. Turned off until fully charged works best. Happens on stock or cm, had the same issue with my evo 3d... Both htc phones.
I've not found any good reason for it, I seldom have much software installed to drain the battery.
@bigsupersquid nd @singhjot0020 I'm using cm13 with lots of apps nd I don't face any battery issue. You guys can try Nitro X sparkle mod and calibrate the battery into Nitro booster although I dnt require it. Greenify is the best app available, nd my personal experience says both lollipop nd mm update uses to much juice as compared to my kk rom still my phone manages to charge quickly on cm13. @singhjot0020 now everything is working fine on stock so flash cm13 once more and flash the microgapps package nd use greenify

Welcome
@rjcool1999 is it that my phone's is 2 years old that's why battery life has reduced that much ?
Someone of my known had the same battery issue, he got a new battery from htc service centre for ₹1400 with 3 months warranty, although same would be taken for ₹300-400 from Karol Bagh. He's saying that now his phone is working fine.
Battery draining issue solved, but charge time's same (appx. 2-3 hrs)
@bigsupersquid any comments? @rjcool1999 any suggestions

Its obvious that battery performance will reduce with time and if u wish u can get the battery replaced from service centre or from wherever u want nd make sure its a genuine htc battery otherwise it will effect your phone. For the charging time issue the best thing is to buy an asus charger, it has 1.35amp voltage output nd charges the phone very quickly faster than the original htc charger also. You can get it from ebay for 600-650

Okay thanks ?
@rjcool1999 i had replaced the battery with the new one, battery performance is fine, but charging time is increased, even after switching off and charging sometimes charges only 8-10% in 20-25 min.
What would be the cause?

I think that the battery backup is somehow increased from that of 2 year old battery (htc desire 816 a5dwg)
Today only, I've charged phone to full and in 30-35 minutes, battery has fallen to 84% from 100%

In 1hour it is draining 3percent of battery without any use if I use it,It hardly came half day.so I want to know how to solve this battery draining issue. thanks in advance
Huh, What did you by mean you used to get better battery life, what ROM was on the old motherboard?
