I've tried a few Eclair ROMs since Cyan got into the game and most have been great performers and very stable, but the battery life is just across the board abysmal. Some (SuperE) are better than others. I went on vacation this past week and went back to SuperD 1.9.3 in order to not have to worry about battery and man, what a difference! I was actually able to to USE my phone all day (often pretty heavily) without having to worry about charging it and still go to bed with 50% or more life left.
As much as I really like Eclair, the poor battery life kills it. Donut still seems to be the sweet spot for our G1s and I really think we should think twice before recommending any Eclair or Froyo ROMs as daily drivers to new users, especially without informing them of the huge downsides.
Equalivent exchange as Alchemist says (it's from Fullmetal Alchemist). You give something and receive something in exchange. New lock screen, far more apps you can use and many more possibilities with your phone etc.
I tried, really tried to have a Donut ROM. But when I saw how many apps I like simply don't work i was disappointed. Yes, it's a pity, but for me it's better when my phone can do more things rather than can live on battery longer.
From my observations, CM5.0.8 has better battery life than any 1.6 that I've seen. It goes for days.

I agree, but sometimes CM 5.0.7/5.0.8 is draining battery very much. Only solution I found in that cases: reboot the phone then battery usage is quite well again.

You realize that by default, they crank the CPU frequency up to 528 MHz? Drop it back down to normal.

Probably I did not explain very well ...
What I wanted to say: There are periods, where my phone uses 3-4% of battery within 12 hours and sometimes 15% per hour! When I then reboot my phone it goes back immediately to low consumption. I am afraid, there are some processes actively waiting, but I did not find out what process it might be. Analyzing log didn't give any hint, but I suspect, that GeniusWidget is one of the processes which might cause such behaviour ...
On the frequency note, I just noticed that the free app "Android System Info" by ElectricSheep gives you a cool breakdown of your CPU usage. For example mine:
245.76 MHz 82.41%
352.0 MHz 0.99%
480.0 MHz 1.49%
528.0 MHz 15.11%
I assume 245.76 is the sleep CPU frequency and 528 is the uptime/screen-on frequency.
Maybe give that app a whirl and check your CPU usage.
Also, check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678617
That may also be the culprit with your Eclair ROMs. Personally I have not noticed any battery difference between Donut and Eclair.
first off, i love this phone. no joke, but the battery is well...laughable to say the least. on my HD2 running android, i get double the battery life and they HD2's battery is a 1200 battery, the EVO'S is a 1500. and android boots off the SD CARD and has NO POWER MANAGEMENT on HD2'S. my evo dropped to 54 percent battery today in 3.5 hours. no wifi, no bluetooth, no GPS and no 4G...all im saying is... WHAT THE ****!
It gets better. Load up some custom kernals + setcpu and you'll get great life. I'm running CM6 + snap 8.2 and it lasts the whole day with moderate use.

There is plenty of info on battery issues with EVO.
First... I would recommend rooting.
Second, use the FRESH build based off the new OTA leak.
Finally, change Settings / Mobile Networks / [uncheck] Enable Always-on
Then... ALWAYS keep your WiFi radio on. Add your home network if you have one... and wherever you go, add whatever hotspots you are in proximity of.
And if you ever consider doing a new build, backup your WiFi access point data via Titanium Backup before you do.
That should just about cover it... You will get a full day of use PLUS some out of that battery.

i rooted my phone within 2 hours of purchasing it...i will look into what you mentioned later. im gonna condition my battery for the 4th time in 5 days..
PS those 3500mah batteries on ebay for 10$ and the same 2000mah batteries.
If you get one, get a seido. I just bought 2x1500mah batteries from tuttoit, great backup batteries... charger too 9.96$ shipped.
Oh and I am getting great battery life with snap and cyanogen's rom.
yeah i am going to look into all the batteries, and i love sense, that is why im not on CM6. all my other phones are running it (G1, MT3G HD2). now that i have a phone that runs sense naturally, i dont wanna change it. i love sense! and this thread was just a way for me to vent about my crappy battery.... lol

When you rooted it, did you also flash the newest radios? Trust me on the fresh build.. it rocks... but also, most importantly, use WiFi whenever possible... and turn off "always update"... those are all the most important.

No when I got my evo I was clearly.told and shown a doc from sprint (the manager over mobile area is a buddy) to tell everyone to expect 6 hours of battery life with normal use. I was able to squeeze out 8 - 9 myself. I know people say conditioning the battery is a waste of time . IMHO do it I noticed a nice increase in battery life. I have to laugh at people who get pissy about battery life when they are holding a mini PC.
Myself i avg. 18-20 hours a charge with normal use. I have 2 backup batteries so I don't worry to much about juice
from the fade
I really dont feel the Evo is a bad phone h, hell I love the damn thing . I just feel HTC kinda screwed up things in the process . One telling customers to expect 6 hours of use is alittle of a joke . Who the hell only works six hours a day ? Or is that six hours also include you getting up getting ready for work then coming home before you go to bed ? Second , its pretty clear the Evo has a bug in its charging system . People have reported that using stand alone wall chargers to charge the batteries they are getting improved life out of the batteries (Sorry I have never removed a battery from any cellphone I have had in the past to charge it and not gonna start now) . Third yes the HTC Evo is litterally a pocket pc with capabilities most phones dream of having . Then why the hell did they give it a 1500mah battery ? Thats like strapping a 55 gallon drum of fuel to the space shuttle and saying "Yeah this outta make it" . Sorry for my rant had to get it out (plugs phone in to charge again) LOL
OP, I like you, you're funny
A couple things..
1) Why do you have your CPU governed below 700mHz while awake??? You won't save battery that way, your phone runs at a gHz, use it!!
2) Setting your min/max both at 245 on sleep will actually decrease your battery life and your phones wake up performance, maybe not much. Capping your phone at 245 when asleep makes it a harder transition to awake because it makes that sudden jump when you wake it up. Setting your max somewhere over 600 on asleep, and setting it to OnDemand will ease the transition from sleep to awake.
There is no shortage of battery life tips but here's one: The auto rotate function polls for g-sensor status like once every 15 milliseconds. I use a switch on my homescreen to turn it on when I want it and keep it locked in portrait when I don't need it. This will help conserve some juice
I'm only scratching the surface here, I'm sure you do realize what a wealth of info there is on the subject already. FWIW, I use the crap out of this phone and I consistently get 20+ hours out of a charge. Good battery performance is achievable!

Why the hell do you have 4 phones running the same OS?
Only had the phone for two days so this should improve even more:
overclocking to 1.4ghz, under clocking when screen off to 0.3. 9 hours screen off, didn't lose a percent, still 100 on desire Z. EPIC!
thats good to hear ! Cant wait till i get my hands on it! damnit ! 5 or more days togo
Did you have any other functions enabled? 3G/WiFi? Sync'ing with FB or Twitter apps? Anything like that?

how many hours can you get out of it when you are using it throughout the day, e.g. email, internet browsing, twitter, bit of music and phone calls? using data and wifi?. Im on my 5th day and averaging about 14 hours, hoping that the battery hasnt settled yet, otherwise my hope is for the NAND being hacked and roms for optimal performance!
Do you actually get more real-life performance out of the overclocking (snappier menus, faster app launching), or the only place where it shows is the benchmark? Is Sense faster, or is the difference not visible (0.8 vs 1.4)?
On the other hand, underclocking could be really useful to preserve battery. But doesn't the processor underclock on its own when in standby (by design), do we need to use 3rd party apps?

contrary to what you should expect,
overclocking this SoC just hightens the clock's max roof from 800MHz to 1GHz, 1.2 or 1.4GHz, not the "permamnt" MHz count,
because it auto-fluctuates and adapt depending on usage
AND with the SetCPU app (which I assume JupiterDroid is using),
cycles per second can be optimized even more.
The phone won't go up all over the way to 1.4GHz when idle, but will maintain a very low cycles per second clocks, thus improving battery life
Here's my experience w/ battery life and overclocking the Desire Z (for today).
I only have it set to overclock to 1GHz and I have typical SetCPU profiles to underclock to 245MHz when not in use.
My phone has been off the charger since 9am (5.5 hours) and is sitting at 92% battery power. This includes permanent connection to WiFi (no sleep policy), receiving updates to email/gmail and some text conversations with Trillian and a 15 minute email (composed w/ keyboard).
Compared to my old HTC Hero (Running VR 1.5.0), this is a huge improvement, though with VR 1.5.0 I could run JuiceDefender & have similar battery life with the right profile setup.
Yup I even notice better battery life in actual use. My friends were running youtube and doing web searches like crazy on my phone last night + games for a good 5 straight hours and the battery was holding up well.
I've got to say, the battery life on the Desire Z is outstanding... 18 hours with light use and battery still @ 92%!!!
What about 1GHz core compile?

are you using set CPU and overclock?
Is anybody getting time without a signal percentage in the cell standby item in the battery usage? Im getting 12% sometimes more and im getting about 14 hours battery life with moderate use! I dont feel im getting the best out of the battery and worried this might be part of the issue!
Hi guys.. sorry for the novice post.. i have had my Desire Z for a day and am interested in overclocking it - but
a) are you saying it possibly INCREASES battery life?
b) is the speed diff noticeable in day to day use - or just benchmarks?
c) How do i overclock - what is SetCPU and how does it work?
I don't think my battery has settled yet .. I hope not anyway, and I just (temp) rooted and overclocked to 1Ghz last night, haven't tried higher yet because I feel like my battery is kind of just disappearing so far, none of this epic "all day and then some" stuff some people are reporting. I think it may be that fact that I've been using the device pretty sporadically so far, and it hasn't had a chance to settle.
Also "cell standby" seems to be using a lot of battery, and I'm thinking that's because I'm unfortunately in a spot where I get extremely poor to no coverage most of the day. So I'm thinking the cell radio is using a lot of juice trying to get that 1 bar I sometimes see here. There didn't seem to be a way to easily disable the cell radio without disabling wifi though, until I found this "airplane mode wifi tool" on the market which I just installed.
So now my cell radio GPS and bluetooth are all off while wifi is on, hopefully that will make a difference. I'm wondering if using 802.11n is more draining than 802.11g also I know both my router and the desire z support N but "network info II" reports I'm only connecting at 65Mbps, while my laptop connects at 150Mbps.

I don't think there's any way overclocking can actually increase battery life, but managing CPU speed with SetCPU seems to be more effective than the default behaviour for some reason, so the fact you're overclocking when using it but underclocking when not using it results in longer battery life. I'm pretty sure it does regulate the speed automatically without setCPU but maybe it doesn't clock the CPU down to absolute minimum by default when the screen is off?
Anyway the noob friendly guide to overclocking by JD is on the forum with an [INSTRUCTIONS] tag.. I can't link to it apparently since I'm a noob.
Edit: Added link ~TheRomMistress
Thanks guys. Main thing i'm curious about is whether i just install SetCPU or i have to "root"
Yes, SetCPU needs root access.
Still trying to figure out how the OP is underclocking to .3 using SetCPU.. Lowest I can go is 245..
Unless I'm an idiot and completely missing something.. I'd love to turn this phone way down when the screen right off. As it sits, I'm lucky to get a full day from a fully charged battery.

You can check by yourself and then uninstall if you are not satisfied (or just reboot and changes will dissappear, since we don't have permanent root yet)

...Who seems to be getting worse battery life since I've rooted and installed CM10 and Franco Kernel than stock.
Before with stock I was only losing about 1% every two hours on standby (sometimes even better I've no idea how)
Now I'm losing about 3% an hour on standby and also about 30% an hour screen time with just basic browsing (Screen brightness set to auto).
Also Media server is hammering my battery. Like I lost 3% battery in 15 mins without the screen on just playing music (not streaming) is that normal, I've come from an iphone 4s which didn't lose that in an hour :S
have i flashed it badly is there something else maybe i should try or are these stats about right ????
thanks guys
That's just the way it is just custom roms. When flashing, put your head between your legs and pray for the best. You can spend hours trying to figure out what's gone wrong, but you might never get an answer.
You can try underclocking your N4. Currently my dual-core Snapdragon S3 T-Mo Galaxy S2 is underclocked to 810MHz from 1.5GHz and performance is still great. I'm guessing you can UC your N4 to at least 1.2-1GHz and performance will still be great because of the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU. Also, what governor and i/o are you using?

Hi Gents
Thanks for the reply, yeah it does seem a bit of a hit and miss kinda situation, I'm not masively bothered, im hoping eventually someone will stumple across a fix for the way the screen murders the battery life but im not holding my breath. Still love the phone, really getting used to it now, have tried (and failed) many times to switch to android, must be honest, this is the closest I've come so far to waving bye bye to ios, android is really really fantastic as an os, it's also super pretty to look at these days, stock apps like contacts, calender and the phone app itself are beautiful.
Let the phone and battery have several cycles, it will improve, eventually
thanks mate !!

Under clocking your phone isn't a viable situation. It's a phone, what's the point in it if you're not going to use it to your fullest when my phone lasts through the whole day going from 384-1500?
Some battery tips for op:
- download better battery stats (Google it for a xda version) use this to debug wakelock and ensure your phone is deep sleeping under cpu states. You can also use cpu spy to check cpu stats. Better battery stats is a must need.
- disable Google latitude in maps. Disable the automatic reporting and any other checked marks
- disable Google now cards that you have no use for
- disable gps (some apps use gps and drains battery when it keeps using gps when it isn't necessary)
- ensure your governor is interactive and on latest version of Franco (r20 is very good)

Highly advise doing that. Other kernels are way more optimized whereas CM is focused on the ROM itself and not optimizing the stock kernel.
I believe CM10 uses stock Google kernel anyways (could be wrong).
Use Franco Kernel or anybody elses kernel that you choose to.
Mine definitely improved after rooting and flashing custom ROM. Battery life when I was still stock was horrible.

A ROM has very minimal battery life improvements, it isn't as significant as a kernel. Hence the definition of "better"
Strange as the concept sounds, I get better battery life when I overclock my Epic. At first I thought this was a fluke, since a faster processor (in my head, anyways) HAS to equal more power consumed. Generally speaking, this is true...
But, here's how a higher processor speed actually helps you reduce overall battery life. During daily use, your phone throttles up the processor to get something done, and then goes back to a sleep state. Mine goes from 100 to 400 to 800 to 1100 (my overclocked speed) as I watch it, with my phone just doing it's thing.
The faster it can get a certain thing done (i.e., faster processor), the sooner it can go back to a resting state, which equals more rest and better battery life.
That's it. Of course, this only works for daily use - if you keep it running playing a few games the battery life will most likely be worse. Has anyone else experienced better battery life by overclocking? I'm curious to see if this phenomenon only effects me
My setup:
CM10.1 - Experimental (Jan 20)
NS4G modem, with nitest kernel and patch (Jan 25)
smartassV2 governer/NOOP I/O scheduler
Overclocked to 1100MHz
hmmm interesting thought... i have never overclocked my epic but im just wondering how are your boot times with it overclocked... my daily use on my phone requires bluetooth on all the time and while i am at work i play music and on breaks i play games so i do go through a battery every 2 to 4 hours (I keep 6 spares on hand at all time lol) if it didnt drain battery but sped up boot at battery change would be worth a try just always been scared to oc cause dont want to mess up my phone...
Wow, six batteries? How do you charge them all?
I've been overclocking computers and such ever since I found the clock switch on my old Packard Bell 486. The trick is to not go too crazy and start small. For example, I have two Epics in the house running at 1100, and everything is going smooth. Boot times seem pretty fast, but the overall battery life is better than it's ever been on both.
I tried to clock one of them up to 1200, and I had a couple force closes and a forced reboot, so I backed it down to 1100, and the problems went away. I've heard that others can run at 1200 all day and not have any issues, so it depends on your phone.
I'd like to hear what happens if you do OC yours - my usage is nothing like that!
Sounds about right to me, the cpu isn't working on the same thing for as long and hashes it out quickly so the battery isn't drained as fast.
Just my view, I'm a slightly advanced computer ****.

Definitely dependent on the phone as you said, back in the samurai kernel days my epic could handle 1500 no problem...

Isn't the default lower-bound clock 200mhz on most roms? Maybe the fact that you have it going down to 100 makes a difference too?

Although this thread is about overclocking, don't ever let your friend that knows how to change the clock speed use your phone. I let my friend use my phone to play a game, and when I got it back, it was really slow, laggy and hot. Because he thought it would be funny to change the max clock speed from 1 Ghz to 200Mhz.
