What Rom is getting the best battery life these days
also doesnt matter if its sense or vanilla or stock OTA i just want good battery life

from what i can tell, battery life is MOSTLY tied to the kernal. Try an undervolted one, i've found they all work pretty well (hydra and KK)
o alright im using kings #2 BFS kernel undervolted and underclocked
I research before I got my DINC so I never used the factory battery from day 1. I have the same size battery but is 1750 power rating... I think Verizon has a newer one which was before I got mine...

Not directly related to the ROM. Check out the Hydra kernels. Also, with regards to battery, you need to do some recalibration so it works better. I got the 1750 battery for the DINC and it was dropping battery very fast no matter which ROM/Kernel combination I used. Finally found a thread that discuss how to get the OS to read the battery levels better. As an example, my battery would run down from 100% to 90% within 10-15 mins! After trying the following, everything works better.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714471&highlight=battery
Here's a summary of what you need to do:
01. Power off phone and change battery to full level (Green light).
02. Unplug the power and plug it back in. It should take another 15-20 mins to go green again (there's a thread discussing this also -- "bump" charge).
03. Turn on phone and go into recovery mode. Remove the battery stats.
04. Reboot phone and use without recharging until the battery drains completed - i.e. phones shuts off. May want to turn it on once it shuts off.
05. Charge normal and you should see a positive change in the battery life.
Hope that helps.
Yeah but how much do you really gain by doing all that? And how often if at all do you have to do it again. I have the 1750 and it seems to depend allot of what kind of signal and which radios are on.

Of course if you had bad or no signal, the phone will use up more battery. Normally when you don't have any signal and you check the battery status, the phone tells you to put it in Airplane mode to conserve battery.
For me, it's worth doing because my battery does not drain as fast for my usage. Since I did this over the past 2 days, I've had the phone one on a single charge with about 6 hours of Awake Time (gaming, Internet, phone calls, texting, emails, some GPS usage) and UP time is 22 hours. And the battery is down to 20%. Definitely an improvement for myself so just try it if you like and see how it works out. Everyone's usage is different so it's hard to quantify.

Just curious, where does it have info about the 1750s? I have a Seidio Online 1750 so wanted to see the comparison to the stock battery.
Thx.

bump charging before wiping stats makes no difference. bump charge is still necessary regardless. until htc acknowledges its a problem and fixes it on their end, bump charging is a part of our lives if you want a fully charged battery. unless you use an external charger of course.
I charge externally and I still bump charge tho I don't need to power the phone on and off. Also the bump time is much shorter

Nah, Virtuous gets really good battery life, especially with the custom kernel built for it.
Does JuiceDefender even function on CDMA phones? I thought it wasn't working
I would also like to know this! What about SetCPU profiles too? I just want the best possible battery life, speed is not very important to me.
So, who has tried out various ROM and Kernel combinations? What have you concluded gets the bets battery life? Thanks!
im in the proccess of downloading and setting up virtous ill report back with different kernel set ups. i just want a rom and kernel set up that will last easily the hole day
Bump charge with or without battery stats wipe doesn't seem to make much difference for me. I plug in at home/car/computer and carry a spare battery. Just wish there was a way to turn off 3g and force 2g with Verizon on CDMA phones. That way I could still have data/internet.
Hello.
So, we all know that Android is kinda messed up regarding battery % and that we need to calibrate it in each build etc.
The thing is, when it is not calibrated and Android shows 89% when it is really 100%, won't the battery overcharge?
And why did WinMobile never had this problem? What is the method used in WinMo?
Well the basic thing is whenever you flash a new rom on your device, it looks at the current voltage of your battery and decides what percentage it has. So you will have to recalibrate the battery every time flash new rom. But to be frank I never did that and I have no problems with my battery. What I do is before flashing a new Rom I make sure to charge my phone overnight. Another thing you can do is use widgets like battery monitor widget to look at the voltage when its 100%. It should be somewhere around 4200mv.

Yeah I know that. But if it is not calibrated and for example it is 89% when the battery is 100% charged, can't it overcharge?
I noticed that when the battery reaches the appropriate voltage the current decreases from 800mA to 60mA or so... So I assume that there's some hardware check that disables charging even if the indicator shows 89%...

Windows knew it because windows was the first rom to be flashed on that device. After that we flashed another rom(android) which is not meant to be on this phone. hehe...

Well I am not a dev or know anything about programming side. But according to my understanding, other winmo roms are basically same as the original ROM with only some visual changes. So the files right at the system level will be unchanged mostly. But android builds are made from different phones' roms. So their system files may have to be edited....
Let's say an android phone with 5V battery rating would rate 4V as 80% whereas same ROM if put on different phone with 4V battery rating, it will still show 80% though the battery is actually 100% charged.
Though I might be wrong. Its just a guess....
I've recently tried a cheap high capacity battery, over twice the capacity of the original one (but, of course, twice as fat and heavy). While the battery charges to it's 4.2V and discharges down to about 3.5V properly (tested manually, with the multimeter), the phone keeps reporting the battery as 1230mAh, tracking it accordingly. This causes the phone to go from 100% down to 15% at about the speed it would with the original battery and then remain at 15% for a full day. Similarly, charging the battery makes it go to 100% twice as fast as it should, yet the battery keeps charging after it reaches those virtual 100%, up to the proper 4.2V, with the proper current (NOT trickle charging).
I've already tried the obvious (fully charge, delete the stats file, fully use the charge, then full recharge again), it didn't really help, it only distributed the estimation a tiny little bit.
Any solutions ? Is there a proper way to manually override the battery capacity either with or without recalibration ?

Maybee battery curent widget... inside you have settings/monitoring/battery capacity...
But with that attitude I'm almoust sorry to help you
I am familiar with that widget, overriding the capacity setting there only changes the displayed capacity in the app, it doesn't affect the estimations at all. Sorry, i should have mentioned trying this.
PS: What attitude ? Bumping a thread that got buried on a third page after just 2 days, without a single answer, while most other threads that bury it could be answered using a search button ?! I can assure you, i may do it once again after a week+ or something and then i'll just forget about it, you can check my others threads And yea, they usually remain either unanswered, or self-answered after all (rare, but if it happens, i post my findings in the thread)
PPS: If you consider it such a "bad attitude" just don't bother helping. Thanks.
Battery reading is indeed not 100% perfect. But what ever change we would make. It is not gonna give you extra battery life. Until some one fix it there is no way to read it 100% correct. So that is the whole story.

Well, i don't bet on it to be 100% correct, but it should be something relatively close to the reality, while in case of this particular battery it's nowhere near that.
It assumes 1230mAh, calibrated or not, and i am 100% sure it takes this value from somewhere. In any case, it should be possible to patch, the question is where/how. Since i am not exactly an Android/Linux guru, the only things i did to find it out are searching this forum and doing simple google searches, finding nothing beyond the usual calibration thing. I though maybe someone may know something, that's why i posted the thread. I guess i was wrong about it.
PS: I guess i'll either abandon this, or start my own research, beginning at the source code of the ROM/kernel i use

Tytung R10 does. All those kernels only support "official HTC extended battery" though, and i have yet to find out what does it really mean (read - what's the technical difference between the official and unofficial one). Note that the battery is charged/discharged properly, its just the stats/percentage remaining that go haywire.
mhh, just made some researches...
Stumbled over these threads:
Crazy, that there is a different behaviour if you have an orig. HTC or not...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948181
Also read somewhere, that you really need to charge your phone to fully 100%, so that current widget shows 0ma...and then let the phone a few more hours at the charger, (DONT remove your charger) then manually delete the batterstats file in /data/system, turn off the device, REMOVE the charger, then boot the device.
Good luck
For those really interested to know what the technical difference between those bats... its the thermistor values range. Thats it.
The different batteries are identified by that thermistor value, all the batteries parameters are in the "ds2746_param_config.h", the table i am interested in modifying is the FL_25, one that defines the full battery capacity.
Sadly, this, most probably, requires a kernel recompilation, something i can't do, not without setting up all the required environment first Or, maybe it's possible to just patch the kernel image with hexeditor, i'll probably take a look.
PS: Thanks for everyone for trying to help.
EDIT: patching zImage would be harder than just recompiling it
not saying this is the right answer or that you haven't already tried but it didn't half help me out as i was only getting 8 hours before i used it, and i only got around 15 hours when i used to use wm, also left a print screen of what i get after i use the features in THIS page...

I recently did a battery calibration on my HTC Leo with MIUI 2.7.27 and now it does last much shorter than before i did the calibration. Does anybody know why this is happening? Before i did it i could use it a full day without charging, but now i have to charge it twice every day. And that does not work too well since i still go to school. Besides, i just want to be able to use it a full day without charging. I calibrated it with the built-in MIUI battery calibration app.So it happened like this:
1. Fully charge it.
2. Click the ''Calibrate Battery'' button.
3. Fully drain it (I drained it until it indicated 7% because i use MAGLDR and we all know MAGLDR can't charge if the phone is turned off. If i would have drained it fully i wouldn't have been able to charge it again and it would be useless.)
4. Fully charge it.
And no improvement, it only got much worse. Someone, please help?
Calibration
These are threads on calibration just in case... http://forum.xda-developers.com/tags.php?tag=calibration
Nonetheless, i had the same problem too, what i did was i drained it to 2percent, power off, on, mgldr reset bat stats, and charged without break, and when the green light shows add another hour (i've read it somewhere in the threads).. As of now from 8AM to 6PM, moderate use still have 50percent using Team Blue Droid SENSE 3.5+ HTC ONE X TWEAKS TMO ROM.

Thank you, but i am afraid that if i drain it to 2% that it won't be able to power up and boot again. If it is below 10% it drains battery extremely fast, and that would be a waste of a battery. (I've got another one lying around so it woulnd't be much of a problem though) Please advise me, should i do the same as you? By the way, i already noticed that if the green light shows it is not fully charged, but thanks for confirming i was right
Anyways, thank you for your help. I might give it a try when i am more sure about if it will power up with only 2% left.
P.S. Sorry for my english, it is not my native language
Battery drain is a common problem and a lot and I mean a lot has been written about it, just like roms where you have to make a trial and error method which suits you best, you also have to take into consideration battery quality sans its true capacity. In my case, I simply follow the dev's advise on battery tips. Since you have an extra battery, choose your best performing battery, and drain it to at least 5 percent and reset battery stats in cwm. Reboot it and charge without break, no sim , so that not to disturb it until the green notification kicks in, patiently add another hour just for keeps. Use it and sometimes it seems that there is no change but again patience is the key , Let it work out more until the charge settles and hopefully you get a better battery output and with correctly reported stats.
Finally, a rom that would not be too much demanding on power, one for daily use, devs post them if it is for daily use. Practically, only the apps you really need, a little eye candy, and simple games. Ciao!

As far as i know not, i reckon it edits the same file.
Hello,
I use Tytung's ICS 4.0.4 for my T-Mobile HTC HD2 (NAND), I've been using this ROM for months.
As such there is no problem with functioning of the ROM.
But my battery drains at a very fast rate. With 6hrs of use it drains to 20% at lowest brightness and no major applications running (2 applications in background at most).
Data enabled (2G).
What to do? Please help!!
Sent from my T-Mobile HTC HD2 using XDA Premium.
Can you download CurrentWidget from the Play store and give a value in mA? If you mean 6hrs without any usage then that's pretty poor. Try turning on airplane mode to determine whether it's an app or one of your connections that's causing the problem.
In currentwidget, the values should be approximately 4mA drain in standby with any connections enabled and 2mA in standby in airplane mode. Screen on drain varies a lot more.
OK, thanks. will revert back soon.
With screen OFF, networks ON, 2g enabled....drain is 6mA.
With screen OFF, airplane mode ...drain is 5mA.
Sent from my T-Mobile HTC HD2 using XDA Premium.
That's high but shouldn't be causing a drain of 20% in 6 hours. It's probably just draining a lot when you're using the phone, and there's not much you can do other than turning the brightness down which you've done already.
try wiping battery stats through recovery...fully charge your battery then wipe stats and let your battery to get fully discharge before you connect it to a charger for about a week...My battery never lasted more than a half day before doing this...now it lasts more than a day...Hope this works
Okz.. will try this..hope this works.

I wonder if this myth will ever die..
Google engineer Dianne Hackberry has talked about several myths about the Android operating system, including wiping battery stats.
The reasoning behind that piece of advice was something like this: If you, at some point, did not charge your Android device fully (for example, only to 80%), it would supposedly remember that battery level as “fully charged” – in this case, you’d only ever get to use 80% of your battery, which is of course less than optimal. So, if you wipe the battery stats, usually done in ClockWord Mod Recovery, the device would “forget” the previous level, here 80%, and instead charge to the full 100% once again, thereby re-calibrating the battery. Or, as Hackborn puts it in more technical terms:
The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory.
However, as she explains, that’s not the case. Because those battery stats, stored in the batterystats.bin file, are only used to maintain information about what is using the battery when not recharging. That is, it essentially holds the information displayed in the Settings > Battery screen. Nothing more, nothing less. Thus:
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
What’s more, you’ve probably noticed that the battery usage data is reset once you recharge your device anyway. From this you can correctly deduce that the battery stats are wiped as well – every time your device is recharged. More or less every day. If there was any effect, you would’ve noticed it without going into recovery and doing that stuff. Typical placebo, eh?
---
I’m as confused as a baby in a topless bar...
^Whenever someone asks 'how do I reduce my battery drain', ten people immediately jump in with 'CALIBRATE!!11oneeleven!'. No hate directed at whoever posted that advice here, I understand how easy it is to be misinformed (as I was about using SetCPU ), I just think that rumours like this are too easily presented as facts.

I found out something.... usually I used to keep my 2G ON the whole day...but when I switched my data OFF when not in use...my 6hrs...20% battery remaining changed to 8hrs..n 75% remaining.
That's a huge difference.
Can anyone suggest a good app for this? Switching my data OFF automatically when not in use .!!

I think Juice Defender has this functionality built in.

I would guess that many so called "battery saver" apps might have it, not really sure.
I don't turn off data when not in use automatically but I do use Tasker to turn it off for several hours while I sleep.

Yeah Tasker can do this but it's a paid app. Juice Defender is free and can also do the same thing in this case. I agree that Tasker is awesome but not necessarily for saving battery, more for ease of use.

^Whenever someone asks 'how do I reduce my battery drain', ten people immediately jump in with 'CALIBRATE!!11oneeleven!'. No hate directed at whoever posted that advice here, I understand how easy it is to be misinformed (as I was about using SetCPU ), I just think that rumours like this are too easily presented as facts.

Could your go into more detail about you're previous misinformation about SetCPU?
