Hey guys,
Quick ?. On my wing, with the stock tmo rom, the battery life is awesome, when I run the herald 6.1 rom, it goes to crap, I have to charge it every day.. Is the 6.5 any better? Or, what would you suggest?

I only used 6.5 for a few days, but from my observation, it's not getting any better in battery life. It may got worse since more cpu intensive. In theory and from my experience, 6.1 and the stock rom should have similar battery life. It might be your rom. Some roms (not to attack the cooks, do get angry at me) may have bugs the kill battery faster than others. So my recommendation is to try another rom. A clean one always best. Another thing to try is to use homescreen++'s dynamic cpu scaling. Could save you some battery to under-clock for non-essential time. Someone says this helps and some says no. So try it and have fun.

I have a Jade Black edition, made HSPL, tried some cooked ROMs (megade, pdaviet, spacejade etc), but i have the feeling that battery lasts much more with the stock ROM, with cooked ones it drains faster, am i right?
Can someone move this to ROM Development section, cause here i dont get replies, i think there will be more effective to discuss this
yes, i share your sentiment. my jade's battery drains faster with the cooked ROM. could it be an inherent symptom that exists in WinMo 6.5?

I dont know buddy, with most of the cooked 6.5 ROMs battery goes faster than with original ROM, at the moment i am using "pdaviet V24" and i can say for now battery is good
Hi buddy, i am now using pdaviet's v27 ROM. the battery draining problem is apparent. i have turned off 3G signal (since i dun really need that) and am using GSM only, this prolongs the battery life. hope a newer version of the ROM will solve this prob.
It prolongs but not so much of a difference. With the stock ROM i had 6 days of battery, with pdaviet i had 4 days without using WiFi or GPS, so i returned my stock ROM and waiting for another cooked one with long battery life

six days? how is it possible? full charging of my jade lasts for max 3 days. no gps, no wi-fi, "receive incoming beams" turned off.
Good morning everyone! I have a t-mobile with the original ROM and I wonder if there is any Rom or Radio that consumes less battery than the original ROM?

You could use a modified stock one that uses less resources, and maybe the 2.12.50.02_2 as people have been reporting it uses less battery.
Well, my experience is that the stock rom tends to be the most efficient as far a battery life goes. This is something I verified in many of the phones I've owned.
However, I've been a fan of the Core Cell ROM on my TP2 and these roms served me very well, but when I got my HD2 I found the battery life under the beautiful Core Cell roms to be really poor. for example: I would leave my HD2 on my night stand for 5 hours (with mail push off) and I would find it later at a 40-45% charge level. This was the constant pattern even after a couple of weeks of use.
Then, I tried the Elegancia ROM V3 and the battery life I had experienced with the stock T-Mobile rom came back. I have since upgraded to Elegancia version 4 and I have not regretted it... even though I sorely miss the Core Cell roms, their added eye candy and the extra 2 manila tabs it offers.
I did not try the Energy ROM on my HD2 because my experience with these ROMs on my TP2 indicated a not so good battery life with that device already.

So I am thinking of making the switch from 21xxx to 23xxx and I read somewhere that I will see a increase in battery life by doing so while staying with the same cooks roms.
Does anyone have an opinion on this? Will the newer windows builds really help my batter life assuming the same usage throughout the day???
Thank you,
Jeff
I'm using WinMo 6.5 and as for right now my phone has been running for 3 days already with 40% battery life.

Jeff, I'm was the energy 23138 sept 23 standard rom and 2.14.50.x radio. i was getting anywhere between 24 and 36 hours on a standard size battery. I am a heavy user and when i'm at home my wifi is always on, i surf the internet a lot and if i'm out i've normally got the music player going. I also have the facebook tab updating every hour as well as my location. I also use the gps quite a bit.
So i would say the battery life is good but i can't compare it to 21916 as i have never used that series of builds and it's been a very long time since i used a stock rom, so again i can't compare.
My advise would be to try it out for a few days and see if you notice the difference but i have to say i am very pleased. I've just finished flashing and configuring 21619 sept 24 so it will be a couple of days before i can get a comparison between 23138 and 21619 (as you will have seen from the enrgy rom thread these are both 6.5.x builds) but i'm not expecting much difference considering that they use the same drivers from the 3.14 tmous base and the radio hasn't changed between the two.
A plus point though, seeing as you use the energy roms, is that xda_uc will still be able to import all your settings if you go for the same "flavour" rom i.e standard for standard or cht for cht (unless you pick the new cht2 builds then your cht settings are not compatible)

Can someone tell me how this is possible? I've had my HD2 for about 4 months now and if I don't charge it daily it's dead the next day. I'm using the new 2.14 radio and Miri HD2 WM6.5 (21916) ROM V 19.1. I have Exchange and weather on auto update and everything else is on manual update. Any pointers is a big plus. Thanks.
BTW I've tried the 23138 but I can't stand the over-sized buttons on the bottom. It's just absolutely hideous to me so I have no idea if it gets better battery life.

Extended size battery (the one that needs the different battery cover), auto disconnecting data connections, and not really using it very much at all
thanks guys for your reply, man it sure sounds like I am sucking as far as battery goes, my usage is a fraction of yours and I can barely get 20 hours. I think part of my problem is that at work, I have poor service, going in and out of coverage as I walk around the building. I have to turn off 3g and I barely have edge. I am currently trying duttys cream de la cream now 6.5.x to see if is any different. man, if I had your battery life, I would never flash again! I have latest radio, tried many, and the 3.14 rom.
I will let you know how this one goes.

I really don't believe some of you about the absolutely ridiculous battery life. Especially if you are heavy user, no way! I've seen lots of HD2's (different ROM's/Radios/battery charging methods) and I want to tell people on this board that they don't need to be worried if their battery is dead after a long working day with heavy use. So, don't believe too much fairy tales and enjoy your wonderful phone.

It does seem a little crazy huh? I hear that some Iphone users can go three days with pretty heavy use and a few that I have talked to say that thier iphone can barely last 10 hours. There seems to be a ****load of variability in current consumption amongst all variants of smart phones.
I would just be pleased to get from 5am to 11am with moderate use, without having to buy that brick battery with the built in kickstand.
I will give this current rom a week to see how the battery settles down, ignore the sig, it is the Dutty CDLC V17 with the 2.14 radio.

Hi
It has been a long time since I have visited XDA. I am still new to custom ROMs. I installed VR12 with a lot of help from fellow members about a year ago. I am now looking for a change of ROMs. I do not use facebook, twitter, stocks, gmail etc. I basically use my Hero as a normal phone and approx 1 hour internet a day (Opera mini). I am trying to find a balance between speed and battery life. I am not too fussed with sense. I am not up to speed with current roms. I am basically after a reliable fast rom with good battery life. I want to try a ROM without sense. Is a rom without sense better on battery life?
Any feedback is appreciated
Regards,
Riyaz
If you want speed, go Vanilla Eclair. It's just awesome Batterylife is really good as well, many people report better batterylife on this one than on the newer one, though I get a bit better on Froyo roms. Installing Juice Defender can greatly increase your battery time. If you want a newer rom, I recommend Elelinux Speedmachine but nothing comes near VE in speed and performance
try VR13 also...it's very fast. When you go from sense to a stock rom you get a kick because you get used to some features and sometimes miss them... You can also try a GB rom an d see how it works.

Hi everyone, I m currently on oxygen os 3.5.9 and my battery drains like crazy. Can you guys please recommend me a rom that gives good screen on time. I am even willing to downgrade to lollipop because battery life is really crucial for me. Thanks!!
I'm in the same case, looking for the best choice with the maximum stability and good battery life
I tried so but returned to LineAge even if the battery life is not really good but the ROM is the most stable ever now
Tonight will try Carbon to test, but if someone found the best compromise in one ROM That it notifies us
Try AOSCP. It's really good.
Moyses I tried lineage and yes the same issue battery is not that great. Hopefully we will find a good battery friendly rom. Let me know how the carbon rom works for you.
Ny_3 thanks I will check it out. What's the average screen on time that you get with this rom?
I would either recommend AospExtended/AEX or Resurrection Remix if you like customizability. I am using AEX and don't have any problems with battery life.

Well I've got 3 and a half hours of SOT but it's really the best I've got on a custom rom (guess my battery is bad). I actually bought a new battery 2 days ago so I will have to check how it is after that. But thats basicaly what I get most of the time using FB messenger Spotify and YouTube. Keep in mind its not full of features. It's kinda like Paranoid 6 : Smooth, not full of features, and really stable.
