Currently running MIUI 2.10.12 with android version 4.0.4 from (http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/two-roms-miui-dhd-ics-4-0-4-2-11-2-new.18060/).
My battery right now runs out far too quick, doesn't even last a day.
Is it worth buying a more powerful battery?
Any help is much appreciated!
Install BetterBatteryStats; you can get it here on XDA. Look at wakelocks and alarms to figure out what is draining your battery. Although, I think that one day with moderate use is pretty good battery life. I just carry a spare battery and swap it if I run out.
I have the same problem as most of the dhd owners , besides there is no ( more powerfull battery ) , the dhd battery is size-limited , so u can't get a bigger one ( bigger = more capacity ) , and when u read about those golden (2100 mah ) batteries with same size then u are reading nothing but a bull**** .... that's what I think due to the li-ion batteries facts

I agree with bananagranola. Depends on how you use your phone. You can always check what amount of battery your apps use and consider less demanding alternatives (where possible). Auto Brightness and switching to another CPU governor may help, too. Also, if you don't mind having a slower bandwidth, try switching to 2G.
I have two batteries myself and it must be a really "battery-heavy" day for me to have to swap them in the evening.
Here's another battery problem thread guys,
Here's my scenario:
My d2att is rooted and has CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable running on it. Nothing has been tweaked in terms of bloatware since CyanogenMod is pretty good about not putting crap on their ROM.
I have a stock 2100 mAh battery from Samsung and a 4200 mAh battery from Hyperion Electronics.
I decided to run tests on each battery on two separate nights to see how they ran. I did this using BetterBatteryStats under the same conditions. I charged each battery to 100%, disabled all radios including GPS, sync, wifi, NFC and Mobile Data and left the phone on over night in a span of 8 hours.
Night 1 - Stock Battery: 100% - 40% in a span of 8 hours with BBS reading "mmc_camera" as the main culprit for battery drain.
Night 2 - Hyperion Batter: 100% - 98% in a span of 8 hours with BBS reading "AudioOut_2" as the top partial wakelock.
My questions are 1) what is "mmc_camera" and why was it keeping my phone awake? and 2) why is there such a dramatic difference in battery drain between the two batteries?
Before anyone tells me, "because the second battery is substantially bigger", I know this. It's essentially 2x the amount of the stock battery. However, based on simple ratios, if the battery is 2x larger than stock, why is the Hyperion battery only draining 1/30th as much as the stock? That doesn't make sense.
Someone please let me know what they can tell me about my problem because I'm seriously sick of trying to power manage my smartphone.
I have noticed this as well it makes no sense? I have the same exact problem you are seeing.

waiting for the solution.
I had the same problem, any suggestion?

Try to make sure your front camera sensor is disabled, there's some settings that have the phone look through the camera to see if you are going to wake it up.(something could be in motion settings.)
Or reboot and run the test again. Sometimes the phone glitches out if not rebooted.

hay folks whats the best way to testthe bettery life on nexus flo
as i have been doing my own tests by removing apps from
/system/apps with root browsers i did a full charge dropped
4% in 8 hours thats been idle is that good
or is it better using a software to make it last longer
There is no need to remove system apps... It isn't likely to improve battery life.
A large reason you might see poor battery life is Google's location reporting and history, which should be more battery efficient when 4.4 rolls out. Turn those off for now and you should see an improvement. 4% from 8 hours isn't bad, but if the device is lasting you through the day and not dying or coming close to dying when you need it, there's not a need to be a stickler when it comes to battery life.
After fixing all other wake locks, my largest sources of battery drain are:
- Android OS
- Android System
- Tablet Idle
Does anyone know how to make these take less battery? I currently only lose ~0.5% an hour, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to reduce idle battery usage. Android OS is the biggest offender (I think that's related to the kernel???).
That's already very low. I don't think you'll get it much lower. Sure, you can always tweak things like underclocking/undervolting and governors, but how much more blood are you going to squeeze out of that stone?
You realize at that drain rate (idle only) it would theorically take more than 8 days to drain the whole battery?
The Battery Drain Very fast Is This Normal ?
I'm on Official 12.0.8 Global
This forum feels dead before it even came to life. Im no android pro by any means. I don't have any such issue but, please provide more details. When did it happen? After first boot? How long does it last? Have you checked in battery statistics to check which apps drain battery the most? What are they? And also your miui version
debloat thats the only thing you can do for now
Just writing that the battery is somewhat draining fast, leaves very open why this could be or whether it is just interpretation.
For me battery feels extremely well on miui 12.0.4.0 RKQEUXM.
Such that I can use the phone for two days straight under light usage and charge somewhen on the third day.
Provide better info, like screenshots of the battery graph and app list where you see which app drained which percentage of the total.
Or use apps that analyze further, like better battery stats or such.
You can also compare usage to other phones with comparable battery capacity, etc.
This could give a clue.
But other than that, such statements are rather irritating and the best suggestions are just, provide more info or do something general like, yes, debloating.
Turn off miui optimizations in developer options.its effect on your battery drain.i try it for my self
