I have tried both Eugene's and TeamWhiskey's ROM's.. Ginger Clone, OBSIDAN and ONYX. And all 3 have sucked down my battery in about 12 hours flat with me doing nothing to the phone but loading SystemPanel to monitor the CPU and battery. With all the ROM's the CPU usage has been between 3-10% while in idle. zero phone usage. I have refreshed the battery with every new ROM load.
I was previously using TeamWhiskey's 2.1 Bionix Fusion and was seeing between 1-3% CPU usage at idle and had the battery lasting well over 24 hours with minimal use(checking email, couple short phone calls)
Am I the only one having this issue?? Does anyone else use SystemPanel to monitor their CPU usage and can say what their CPU is using during idle??
Thank you for your time and any help/info you may have.
I don't use the modded versions of Froyo but Stock has awesome battery life from my experience. JL5 is looking great as well.
You or anyone else happen to know where I can find a copy of the stock 2.2 ROM/kernel?? I have an unlocked phone in Japan and it's not supported here, so I wont ever get any updates.
Yes the custom roms have terrible battery life. They always have. However, the stock roms have terrific battery life. After a long day of heavy usage I am at 50%

There isn't really a stock 2.2 Rom for Vibrant because it hasn't been released yet. We have leaked builds (JK2, JK6, JL1, JL4, JL5) that are candidates for release. When they actually release Froyo for Vibrant, that will be your stock froyo rom.
The key to great battery life is using the Stock kernel. Flash that kernel on any ROM and enjoy not having to watch your battery indicator all day.
yea, just read a thread about people complaining about that.
guess I'll just flash back to 2.1..
Thanks for all the help.
I flashed nero v2 w/ voodoo and i reset the battery stats, and now im having trouble draining the battery down to nothing.
Fear the beard...

I'll give it a try.. nothing to lose.
To drain the battery, I usually turn on Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, all the good stuff. Then I downloaded this one Flashlight app from the Market which essentially displays one color full screen, default white. Crank up the brightness and run that app on white and it'll really put the hurt on your battery.
Edit: Today I learned that this may be potentially harmful information. Will someone give a good scientific explanation why though? I'm curious to learn more about batteries. However, this is how I've been draining my battery and it is a damn good method if that's what you want done.
Mine says 2.6.32.9 no matter what kernel i flash. Try flashing it just to be sure. I've tried all the ROMs and they all drain hard until I add the stock kernel to them. Though now a days a lot of ROMs include the stock kernel (Macnut and Axura for sure do). The problem with all the custom kernels is they dont seem to let the phone sleep so when your screen turns off the phone keeps draining as if you were using it. Stock fixes this so when your screen turns off barely any power is used. I
But like I said.. reflash it just to be sure.

Android is based on Linux and uses the Linux kernel as a base. The Linux kernel your phone's kernel is based off of is version 2.6.32.9
ok.. think I loaded the stock kernel up.. lol I'll let it run for about an hour and see what kind of CPU numbers I get in idle.
Thanks again for everyones help/input.
FYI.. just put it in flight mode for a bit and CPU usage dropped down to almost 0%.. I'm not understanding why it cant do that when the phone is idle.. ahh well.
Idle for an hour should lose no more than 1% battery depending on how much stuff you have polling and updating.

Hi there. There seems to be a number of tweaked ROM's for the Aria and unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy enough to understand the different kernels. From your personal experience, which ROM gave good battery life on the Aria?
I'm currently running CM7.0.0 and usually gets a day with normal usage. I'm willing to drop down to froyo if it means more battery life. Any input would be awesome.
if you use setcpu just flash my kernel as it has lower cpu speeds and no need for a screen off profile

Can you flash the kernel on any ROM? Do you lose any data? SetCPU bottoms out at 246 for me right now, but I know I've seen others here at lower. I'm running FR008.

Just because it's gingerbread doesn't make it awesome. Still has its downsides. 2.2.2 and fr008 have been so refined its stupid. I get the best battery life out of those. Setcpu with 2.2.2 gives me a warm sensation.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
CM7's battery life, when the GPS libraries aren't forcing the CPU to 100%, is good. A day or so. Maybe more.
2.2.2 is a little over a day on average, and CM6.1.1 can go up to as much as two days. So CM6 is the winner with battery life. But it's Froyo.
I'm getting two days with moderate usage with FR008...

By 2.2.2 do you mean Gene Poole's hfr003b? Do I just flash that as a ROM or are there other kernel or settings things I need to flash? There seems to be a lot of zips on his post. Sorry for my noobness

Flashing the ROM is enough. It comes with a kernel that will let you overclock only while you're using SetCPU. If you don't use that app it will run like a stock kernel and will give you great battery life. That's my choice and I'm happy with it.
Cool. Thanks everyone.
Hello All,
I noticed there are a lot of posts regarding Battery Usage & Optimization...
I tried many many combinations of custom roms, basebands and kernels and I always face the same battery problem especially when 3G/MobileData is switched on.
I admit that Sony Ericsson gave us a ****ty stock rom with poor kernel however It's still the best rom in managing battery usage.
I made a small comparison on Stock rom VS Custom roms with 3G/MobileData left switched-on and I found the following:
Custom rom(s): battery drain down very fast it goes for 100% to 1% in less than 8 hours (normal apps installed)
Stock rom: battery lasts for 2-3 days with normal daily phone usage (same apps installed as i did in custom rom)
Please share your opinions.
Thanks,
Ayman
I don't agree at all...
Custom roms can have just as good, if not better, battery life.
I personally think this was a good idea. Nice post and info. Just curious, how long did you do this study with the data you got?

Thanks Voelker BTW this is my first Thread in XDA, I used to use SE 2.1 stock rom till the first stable Froyo custom rom came out. I switched to Froyo then I started to notice this around 4 months ago and I tried many combination and a lot of optimizations to find out the best one although Stock rom was always better.
@fiscidtox:
I love Foryo and GB much much more than Eclair I currently on CM6 v6 Wolfbreak
Could you please tell me how the battery lasts on your custom rom while MobileData is left switched-on?
Thanks,
Ayman
I get a full day..
If you mean stock with no tweaks then maybe it would last longer, but a lot of that would be not having jit enabled...

You must be doing something wrong!
10% in 20 mins isn't normal.
I'm sure if you left it settle this would rectify itself though.
I think the biggest advantage of the stock kernel so far is stability, but the ongoing development for the custom kernel is sucessful to implement some problems such as battery drain caused by unability to go into deep sleep etc..
I never understood needing more than 24 hours on a charge. Charge it while you're sleeping you wont be using it then anyway.
Even if you like the 2.1 Stock ROM for any reason (Stability,Battery,etc) and don't like all these awesome 2.2 and 2.3, you should at least use Eric's JET ROM which is based on the original ROM has no stability issues and has faaaaar better battery life.
But seriously, I`m using Custom ROMs since the first 2.2 ROM by Z and never even cared to get back to the stock ROM.
When I use Wifi custom roms have almost the same battery life as the stock rom. But since I can't connect to wifi at work on any custom rom, im forced to use 3g.. and I need to charge my phone twice a day with almost no usage.

Let it settle for at least two days to see improvement.
Your battery needs to adjust, much like letting your phone build a cache, in order to really see how the rom will effect anything.
Im using the stock rom and my battery lasts a maximum of 2 days with this tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934486
I dont use 3g at all and i use wifi sometimes (session lasts only 10 mins or so)

Sorry dont agree..
I use wolfbreaks latest rom with the undervolt module.
Juice defender only enables my wifi when i am at home...all other times i have data on with facebook sync.
I now get the same battery life as i did on stock 2.1

Replied to your post on mobile guide forum
I use Franco Kernel for a month now and battery last to the end of the day with not too much use
I see your using GO Launcher.
I've had my note a little over a week, when I first got it I went a bit nuts and grabbed every app left right and centre. Including GO Launcher, I ended up in a similar position as you though - my battery would drain completely in around 6-8hours (of heavy usage mind you).
Last night I uninstalled all the GO features and I'm now back on the stock TWLauncher, after nearly 12hours, I still have around 60% battery with similar usage.
Many things affect how quickly the battery drains - most notably, how much you use it. But also if your in an area with weak/no signal it can potentially drain your battery as the phone constantly seeks a signal. (Had this issue with the Galaxy Ace).

There are two things I found that helped temperature...
1) Turn off the Note and charge it for an hour or so to get to full charge
Use it for a while and if it is still hot....
2) Reboot into Recovery mode (I use CWM) and then clear the Davlik cache
I did have temp problems and screen sleeps with Franco 10, so have gone back to Franco 6 - it was very good on my phone. As you will read, every phone seems to be unique - some kernels are great on one phone and not so good on others.... Just make sure to take a good backup and test it before trying anything new.
Another tip for improved performance...
Disable wi-fi when you don't need it and wi-fi sharing (I use Titanium Backup but there are others out there) - I found this made a big difference - maybe 5-10%.
Good luck.

There are a number of ways of doing it... personally i use two...
1) ClockWorkMod backup
2) Titanium backup
The first one is a great way to get a total backup of everything if you need to get back to previous setup, the second is the same but also great for backing up individual apps and better... freeezing them so they dont run!

hi,(i tried PM reply 2 u,but not sure its goin.so this post)
i saw ur screenshots.
as u r on a custom rom,i cant compare my Note 2 urs.
I am on foll stock rom (screenshot attached)
u can try going back to stock rom(download from dr ketans thread)
run the note as stock for 48 hrs n see how battery lasts.
if there is huge battery drain then also,show it to samsung.
if not,install apps one by one,keeping few hours in between.u can easily detect battery drain of some app like that.
personally i use go-launcher n find it to be very less battery consuming.
yesterday i've installed an antivirus and is watching out for battery drain now.
hope this helps...
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!
Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.
Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.
I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.
Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?
Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.
And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread.

I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.

As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:.

I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...
Alrighty, let's hope it'll get figured out.

Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...
I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...
I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -
The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.
Will see how it goes....
I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.
Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...
I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....
