But the battery drain isn't worth all the good things this rom has to offer. So sad to know I couldn't use my phone for long if this rom remained.

Ditto. I love MiUi but the battery drain makes it impossible to live with it.

Its like having the fastest and best looking car but you only to drive it for 5 mins before buying more gas. I'm thinking of buying a battery pack just to get normal usage out of this rom. Its about 30% below where I'm usually at and I haven't been doing much.

Use the official miui build from MIUIAndroid.com. I lose 1% battery an hour on that rom.

Okay ill give this a shot and see how well it works.
I am using GalnetMIUI v6 and I don't have any battery drain. With some txts, calls , bit gaming and surfing I can get about 30+ hours of battery.

I can totally confirm this. Only thing i'm missing now on MIUI is my language, but as this rom is more than perfect compared to Samsung rom i will stay with this. I've got some random reboots in 24 hours i flashed this but it's still good!

Love this rom,but the battery drain is insane.Last tried rom was hawkish prem 3 with galaxian kernel,battery lasted over 3 days moderate using.
you can try my rom iVastROM 2.0.
i post it today.
it's very fast and the battery lasts much
my battery drains pretty quickly even on airplane mode. Can someone give me some suggestions? It has been 15 minutes and my battery is down to 88%...
Stock battery life isn't all that wonderful on the OG EVO. Having said that, there are plenty of ROM's available that offer better battery life over stock. I'd also look at the battery itself-might be time for a new one.

+1..I agree with FinZ28..removing bloat and improved battery life are two of the major reasons to Root and Rom your evo. If you are using it like a media player or gaming device you just need to stay by a plug though. Not even the most efficient rom can compensate for the screen being on 24/7.

No need to get complicated: ignore the top 10 % of the "100%" battery charging range - when you remove your phone from the charger you get a difficult-to-predict amount of charge between 90 and 100. Sounds like you got the bottom end of that range. Then it dropped 2% more while you played with it.
This is not extreme battery drain.
Below 90, the charge meter is relatively accurate. Tell us how long it took to get from 60 to 48, not "100" to 88.

HERE is a good explanation of why your Battery drops quickly in the first 10% .
I installed juice defender and while idle screen off it gets great battery life. This is going to be a band-aid until I get the time to root the thing and I was using an extended battery

You need a sbc kernal, extended batteries on stock kernal only charge technically to 75% and also depends on type of extended battery, I bought one off ebay that was 3500 mah, it gave me worse battery than my stock 1500... now I have a sprint 2600 I got for 15$ and I get 2 days of moderate use, so all depends also I have an sbc kernal

Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

Nah.. its sending a message every 4-5 minutes average..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

After 4.3 fix update battery life & performance has drastically reduced. I am getting around 15hr on normal usage & 8-9hr on heavy usage.
Charging time has gone up from 1.45 to 2.30.

I faced the same , but after i rooted and flashed franco's kernel, im getting around 22hr on normal usage ,10-11 hr on heavy usage not to mention almost 2 days when phone is idle.
Keep in mind that after an update or a ROM flash or what ever changes are made.. Battery life can suffer for a good week or so. This GS like media scanner and other services will be running more in the background.

Okay guys, today just formatted my phone. Its just as good as before. No deep sleep issue, battery life is back to normal. I shall post it after 3-4 discharge cycle.

So I'm trying to find out if I'm the only one getting terrible life out of my battery. I used to get 16 hours + and still have 10% left. Now, it drops about 15% an hour. I use less than 25% brightness.

Your going to need to be a bit more specific.
I averaged 4.5-5 hours screen time when I first got my phone running MDL firmware. That is running everything as is right out the box with fairly heavy data usage.
That screen shot doesn't tell you squat.
I'm new to Android and I'm starting to hate my s4. I only get 2-3hrs screen time with this phone. Battery life is very terrible. I hate the fact that you to greenify stuffs just to maximize battery life. I'm using deadly venom 8.2 on mf3. Lux dash as auto brightness (I hate the fact that you have to lower the brightness settings to get better battery life?)
I'm usually on wifi, on my better battery stats, I go 3-4.5% per hour when I'm not using it which can last the whole day but once I use it, it just eats up the batter from 15%-25%max per hour usage. Very disappointing.

Not to be rude but go back to the iPhone if you don't like android simple as that people on craigslist will trade an iPhone 5/5c for your gs4. You've already made several threads and comments about this right now. I get great battery life plus iOS 7 is way too colorful.

Seems normal. Only dropped 5% in 1 hour 15 minutes in your screenshot instead of 15% you said in your first post. You could try turning off those google services you dont use.
