How to detect the process that is draining the battery?
Does it exists a program to detect the usage of system resources?
No one is having significant battery drain??
no.i m not.all things are ok.
I notice a huge diference in battery life...
In normal use (no Wifi ou BT) i spend about 1% for each +-15-20min
How about you guys?
wifi consumes a lot of energy, so you can measure for how much time it will turn off from full battery. My battery fails and i have ordered a new one i will test it when i recieve the new one, but now it fails after 10 minutes of wifi usage
BA Very hot, and battery drains...FASTER.
I notice that i have battery drain since i've upgraded to wm6...
My BA it's very hot, i never seen it like this...
i have Wireless off, Beam off, Bluetooth off, low brightness...
Any one knows what's happen? Is it problem of WM6 or some application?
Is there anything overcloking my Ba???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly the opposite !! If u want it to last longer , just reduce the brightness to 40% , believe me ull get surprised..
Xeon.... i have the brightness at minimum, but i think that the problem is not that... i always used brigtness like this...
theres some problem with this rom or with some application...
i dont think it's because of the ROM . i played Holdem Poker on my device 2 days ago it was fully charged and 4 hours later i got 34% remaining with Level : 2 Brightness , no wifi , gprs , bluetooth or MMC/SD installed . ( 1450mah battery )
well, it drains a bit faster, but...
WM6 is very good and stabble its a very good upside!
I've tested the following:
- No Wifi
- No BT
- No GPRS
- Brightness 100%
- SD inserted
- No operation at all (timers for backlight an turn off at 60min)
O got the following drainage:
HOURS BATTERY
18:47 94%
18:52 93%
18:56 92%
18:59 91%
19:02 90%
19:05 89%
19:11 88%
19:15 87%
19:18 86%
19:21 85%
19:24 84%
19:26 83%
19:30 82%
19:34 81%
19:38 80%
19:41 79%
19:43 78%
19:53 77%
19:57 76%
19:59 75%
20:03 74%
AT THIS TIME ALL THE SAME BUT I TURNED ON Wifi AND BT
20:05 73%
20:08 72%
20:10 71%
20:13 70%
20:17 69%
20:19 68%
20:22 67%
20:26 66%
20:29 65%
20:31 64%
20:33 63%
20:37 62%
20:40 61%
20:43 60%
20:45 59%
20:47 58%
20:50 57%
20:53 56%
20:58 55%
21:00 54%
21:02 53%
21:06 52%
21:09 51%
21:11 50%
(the timmings aren't all exact, because some times when I looked it had already changed the %)
In conclusion for each +-4min i lost 1% in battery. (remenber that brightness was 100% don't be scared )
Can anyone test in WM5 the same scenario? or in another WM6?
Mine is OK. I don't experience bigger drains than the WM5 baniaczek.

I'm having +/- the same values that you post....
2% drains in 5 minutes.
Theres something that is making this... My BA is HOT, i've never seen it like this.
Problem from some application or from the rom... but what?
i've also noticed the temperature issue...
I dont have that temperature Issue . Maybe your XDA is sick or suffering from an inflammatory disease ? scan for viruses
so there is not significant battery drain in this rom, test without the home today plugin and you will find this out
i can not test much until i got the new battery
i do not have the heating problems, it is now, working from yesterday 3am and now, it is 4:45pm and i have 37% remaining. my usage is mostly web
so the conclusion is that it does not drain battery so drastic - it wirks in normal amounts of energy consuming. maybe all with problems should think about new battery - i did, i can not blame roms for this because it was happening with my wm5 also and the same is with wm6 so the problem is in my device
Well fact for me is that it gets hot!
I skipped the WM5 hype so for me its a looking at 2003 (1.42) and this wm6 rom.
From my point of view its does use more power than before.
Wifi uses even more than before.
Its subjective and I can live with it.
@Flyboy
Did you have a home plugin or the standard rom ?
If so can you do the same test with / without it.
That would not be subjective and would may be point a finger
I didnt have battery draining problem with HTC today plugin , but i started to notice after i installed the iphone.cab simulator that it's draining more than 20% faster than ever !! I believe maybe it's because the plugin needs to load more than 30 dll files with 251 priority and 11 threads and keep them running in the RAM . Another thing , be sure to end task the Active sync because when u unplugg the devices it keeps running on your PPC as background process ( dont ask me WHY ) .
i lost 37% of battery on 3h 30min of continues operation with 1 hour and 44m wifi and browsing
so is that considered to be normal?
I dont know if this is normal or not .. here are my readings:
1d 3h since last plugged 60% left
Cell standby 46%
Phone Idle 45%
Im on Cyanogen 5.0.2
Build ERE36B
and setcpu is working when fone is asleep
any thoughts?
normal depending on use
performed a little test this morning, wanted to see how much battery gets drained by just leaving the screen turned ON on different brightness settings. Here are my results:
screen test
9:03 90% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 100% (non-airplane-mode)
9:23 83%
9:43 75%
9:53 71%
10:03 67%
finished
batt usage - display 85%, xscope 6%, android system 3%, live paper 3%, cell standby 2%
100% brightness for 1 hour drained 23% battery , 4% PER 10MIN
-------------------------------
10:04 67% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 30% (non-airplane-mode)
10:14 65%
10:44 58%
10:54 56%
11:04 54%
display 86%, xscope 5%, live wallpaper 4%, android system 3%, cell standby 2%
-----
30% brightness for 1hour drained 13% battery, 2.16% per 10mins.
------------------------------
11:06 53% wifi/3g off, screen brightness 20% (non-airplane-mode)
11:26 51%
11:46 46%
12:06 41%
20% brightness for 1hour drained 12% battery , 2% per 10mins
display 87%, live 4%, xscope 4%, android system 3%, cell standby 2%
so to sum it all up, this is not a very accurate test, just a test I did to see for myself how the screen affects the battery life as I notice my battery drains quickly especially while browsing etc...
just thought I share this with the community incase anyone is interested in these results!
i use it on the lowest brightness (as i do with all screens etc) and get a good day and a half - around 35 hours i'd say...
It would be more accurate if they all startet at 100% battery. But still it shows us enough, the screen sucks energy.
I think many people would like an app that is able to change settings in to the auto brightness setting. So that when the phone thinks, hey it's light, let's do 80% brightness, you can set it so that it will think let's do 60% brightness.
That would be nice. Sorry for the bad explanation, I''m tired
Last night I let the battery drain all the way to shut the phone off. Then I plugged it and left it charging overnight so this morning I started with a full charge.
Right before the phone died again tonight (1%battery) I read the following use:
cell standby 47% 12:47
phone idle 42% 12:22
bluetooth 7% 1:57
wifi 4% 1:01
display 3% 0:24
In short, the battery lasted to keep the phone on for less than 13 hrs, including 2 hrs of bluetooth, 1 hr of wifi and just 24 mins of actual screen usage.
Is this the expectancy, or my battery is failing?
Thanks
It's hard to tell.. There are a lot of other variables to take into account other than those stats.
It would be nice to have an idea of how much usage/standby people get, just for reference.
Thanks
