Battery life problem - solution

I was pondering possible reasons for the battery life problem that many of us are well aware of. Some peoples batterys will last a good day or two and then theres people like me who charge my phone in the morning and when i get home in the afternoon just to keep it alive and this is compared with people using the same rom. So i thought maybe there could be something to do with what the battery level is when the phone is rooted or a new rom flashed, and this process may reduce the battery cycle to a specific point. E.g. if i 1st root and load my new rom on my phone at 50%, when booted it could show 100% but its actually 50% than it should be. i have not tested this but im just putting it forward as an idea. if anyone does have the time to unroot, charge to 100% and then reroot their phone + custom rom and test the battery life could they please post their results here. No harm in trying ...
EDIT:It seems we have found a solution or alteast a way to greatly improve battery life by putting my random idea and the information from maxisma togethere.. here are the following steps:
1. When the battery is low e.g. 10% boot into recovery mode and wipe->battery data
2. Reboot and then drain the battery or let it die (turn on mobile network add the 'sync now' widget and keep syncing with the music on loud - works pretty fast)
3. Leaving the phone dead put it on charge and let it charge fully till the led indicates green (may take longer than normal)
4. UNPLUG!! the charger then boot the phone up and your battery life should be much better
TIP!! Remeber when changing and flashing new roms to unplug the phone from charge after you boot!
Hope this works for you all PM me for results (i went from 5-10% loss an hour to what is now about 1-2% max )

Nice idea but almost certain your wrong
Edit: turns out that you shouldn't boot your phone while charging after all

I've think it's more likely to do with how I charge my phone. If I charge the phone on my PC then the battery lasts me a day. On Sunday night I charged it with a mains charger, and a day and a half later I still have 40% left. That's with constant WiFi, Talk, calls and text messages.
Sometimes I'll do the same things mentioned above and the battery will be about 20% by the time I'm going to bed.
I could be very wrong, I'm no battery expert!

There shouldn't be any difference between PC charging and mains charging. The mains charger would utilise a transformer to give the same oomph as a PC gives...if not it'd fry the battery whilst charging.
Funnily enough, mains AC - DC transforms are a little choppy, although at such a low current it should be entirely negligible, but your PC's power supply should give a cleaner power output than the mains. Are you sure it isn't just a placebo, I still like to think charging my PSP via the mains rather than USB will do it quicker and last longer, since its dedicated

I've heard this theory before. I can't even begin to fathom how this could be possible. I hereby dismiss it as 'rubbish'.
Seriously though, I think it's far more likely to be related to the apps/widgets people are using after flashing the rom. The only thing that differs drastically from build to build is the different apps that people install.
Might be worth those with very crap battery lives sending me an hours worth of logcat. I can do an hours worth of logcat for myself (I never have battery issues), and compare the results.

He's partly right.
Android has a bug that when it's plugged into a charger while booting up, it'll report a higher battery status than it actually is.
This is preventing the phone from charging the battery completely.
So, a recommendation for you: Always unplug your phone from the charger before powering it up.

Attempt
Since my last post ive drained my battery out. Kept the phone off and charged it fully. It did take longer than normal which could be a good thing. Ive booted it up about 15 mins ago and il post later/tomorrow about how the battery performs now.

WOOO
I maybe jumping the gun a bit here but my phone says an up time of 1hour 27 mins. and normally its about an hour to about 5-10% of battery life and im sorry to say... im still on 100% WOO . I will still report how this lasts through to tomorrow, however i think theres enough evidence to suggest that the method stated earlier seems to fix what seemed to be a 'shortend battery cycle'. Anyone else with a short battery life i advise you to do the same asi have and please feedback to me with any results.. hope this has been helpful
EDIT: Its been two hours now and still 100% woooo

I got escited too bratfink when I had 100% battery for ages while it was in sleep, then I dl'd a few progs from market and whoosh my battery started disappearing faster than expected. Try downloading a few things and you'll see your battry disappearing quicktime.
minfree or ramzswap off could be causing the issue.
I remember before I put that tweak on my phone (when it first came out), my battery life was amazing.
After I put the values in for init.d as from the forum page below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622666&page=6
the battery life started disappearing like mad! and this was on a modaco rom!
I think now that all the new 2.1 roms are including this minfree tweak it is causing this battery issue to be carried over. All attempts to reduce battery drain are not having as much effect as they could because of this.
I would like to try one of these new roms without the tweak but I do not have the knowhow to stop it. i.e. put the original init.d (or equivalent) for the the roms in place.
You might argue that the memory clearing has nothing to do with the battey drain, but what i saw was that it did on a modaco rom. I don't know whether it is the switching of ramzswap or the minfree settings ( i have a feeling it is both.
Can a chef cook one of their roms without the tweak and keep the original settings?

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/02memkill
then reboot.

I'm on the BeHero v1.3.2,m will that command put my phone memory settings back to what they would normally be without the taskkiller?
If so can I just remove that file with OI file explorer as atm my laptop usb aint working (can't connect to phone properly, can only charge)

If you use Bluetooth, GPS*, or plug/unplug usb, CPU lock at 528Mhz and battery drain. This happend in all eris/roms.
I can see with Battery Graph while I sleep the battery is full, but no reason (only unlock to check time, kill alarms, read mail,...) the battery drains constantly. (no tweeter, no facebook, no GPS, no BT,..),
This kernel sucks. It's very buggy but is what is

I am currently performing the third step...i really hope this works cuz I am getting really really horrible battery life right now...I get only about 8 hours with ocassional use...like listening to music, browsing, taking pictures, sms.
thanks for posting this thread.
Ill post the results tomorrow ( hopefully positive)

I noticed that using the overclock widget (even with the lower clock option when screen is off) also eats some battery, it definitely reduced my usage time on Android 1.5.
Could someone confirm?

I dont know what it is and why people have this bad battery drain.
I have the VillainRom 3.4 installed. Totally NO drain. I turned on Bluetooth and called several times. Battery drain is 8% in 12 hours .
I did not install any widgets. Pure standard custom ROM with newest radio.

exactly my view.

I'm using HeroDroid and i had really bad battery drain problem. I'm a sort of heavy user and with bluetooth & gps permantly on, my phone had drained out by lunch time. After doing some tests, i have found that my problem was related to GPS. If i boot my phone with GPS off and left it at off, i get the same battery level usage as my original cupcake 1.5 ROM. Perharps you guys can try it and post your results.

I found that to help as well. In the last 3h10m it only went down by 4%. That's definitely a lot better than what I was getting before and with the previous ROM. I am using the new Autokiller and Overclock widget if that helps any and booted up with my GPS off and followed the steps mentioned in the first post.

hmm if its the case that the phone is "capping" the maximum amount of charge the phone can have then it should take longer to charge also
my battery life i kinda okay, lasts 10-12 hours with intermediate use, using battey graph app it took me 70 mins to charge from 40% to 100%
ill let it drain out tonight and see how long it takes for a full charge
it would be good if we could compare results with people with and without battery problems

Battery not charging to 100%

Been running Android for over a week now and this morning when pulling the phone of the charger I noticed it was only at 89%. This is from a full overnight charge.
Got to work and it had dropped to 85% (Watching videos) and plugged it into my laptop at work and it again only charged to 89%
Anyone else had the same issue. Will cut back to Windows to see if it goes further.

Hello dude!
Try removing the battery, wait a few minutes and put it again. See what happen.
Sometimes it is a error when the driver is "reading" the battery settings/status.
Hope it help!!

Same with me, only 90% with all night chage

Same here mine will only charge to 93% while charging overnight

Rebooting into womo and it then proceeded to charge to 100%.
Not a major but a bug that needs investigating.

also had this issue a user responded to me on the builds thread, he said to let it run down to 5% and plug the charger back in. also the one about booting to wm then back on android should fix it.

Same here at 94%. Seems to be a common problem...

Yes, I've got a same problem.

I've heard that no Charging-Stop exists (in kernel), so you may "destroy" your battery because it is overcharging ... so be careful

mine stops at 93%
yeah im a bit scared for my battery...ive been charging it almost twice a day now cause it dies so fast
i even have SetCPU with the profiles from the other thread, but its still draining REALLY fast...
i hope this doesnt have any permanent damage to the battery :S

where did you hear that? can you confirm?

The no stop sounds like complete nonsense. For one, it would be an obvious massive problem so the devs would have worked on it. Two, if you can detect battery charge it would be really easy to make it stop. Three, if it didn't stop, why did it used to halt at 98% for most people?

also battery working in read only mode, it's why during long android usage u can get wrong results. Will be fixed in future.
Hard reset..is only one solution
Actually _everyone_ can get this problem - after reboot u won't able to launch any external exe (exe from rom will work).
It happen because something sometimes can be corrupted during WM shutdown...
I got this problem two times Both time need to hard reset device.
So I recommend to everyone make backups!
So is it confirmed that robot voice (apt voice ) issue fixed now?
^^
confirm problem
read this before post

I have the same problem. HTC wildfire.

Try recalibrating the battery:
1. Turn off all uncessesary apps in the background.
2. Let the battery of the phone run out until it turns its self off.
3. Take out the battery for 2 minutes
4. Put the battery back in and charge the battery until it is fully charged "At least 4 hours"
5. Once it has charged take the battery out for 2 minutes then put it back in and boot the phone up

I managed
The phone was on and charging all night and it was at 97%. I turned off the phone and left it plugged for couple of hours, on and its 100%. Simples

[Help] Battery charge

Hello guys,
I have a big issue and I'm affraid not to damage my device.
Here's what's happening:
When I've first started using Android builds...my phone batt. was charging to 100%.
After testing and playing with different builds..it would only charge up to 97%.
After even more testing...it only charges up to 95%.
I've always done a task29 before installing a new ROM, I've formatted the SD card each time as well.
Do you know what is going on? I'm affraid that when I leave the phone charging, it won't stop doing it (the led is orange and the icon of charging is there) thus damaging the batt or the device.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

I guess the answer you're gonna get from others is "Search before asking". I won't do so though. The answer might be you are using old kernel, updating kernel should work. Alternatively, switch to WinMo and charge it to full, and boot Android.
You should not let baterry drain to 15%-20% while using Android also

Let you phone charge to 100% in WM and then boot into android.

Charge to 100% in winmo. Leave it still plugged in, and boot android. That way the 100% caries over to android.

why we not sould let batery drain to 15%-20% while using Android

This question is way hard for me lolz. Really, I do not know the answer, just an experience I collected from other posts. I guess draining too deep out of HD2 Android will make the battery reading function work improperly

Thanks guys!
Will check if charging to 100% in WinMo and then booting into Android works and let you know.
I'm using the latest kernel available.

some users have reported that letting the battery drain completely in android corrupts the file system on the sdcard. so best to charge when nearly empty or switch off/boot into WM until you can find a power source.

Something that worked for me!
I had the same issue. Charged till 100% for the first few days. Then it used to top at 97%...95...and finally today at 92%. What I do is I let it charge till the led goes green(In android), and then I switch it off and take the battery out. Leave it for a few minutes. Then put the battery in and boot to android. Voila! 100%!
I guess its something to do with the batterys memory or something. It just needs a resetting from time to time.

I also experience the same. When I boot android with battery fully charged, it shows 100%, but when I charge it while running android, it shows max around 90%, even when fully charged. After reboot it shows 100% again.
I do not think it is the battery, but the linux driver.
Moreover, when I boot android when charger is plugged in, the LED does not lit and android does not report charging. When I unplug and plug in the charger, android shows charging and the LED lit orange/green.

I hope someone figures this mystery out soon, this is driving me crazy. When I first started running Shubcraft 1.4d everything was PERFECT. Battery charged fully with no problems & I got great mileage out of it. Then I installed the 1.5 update & it just stopped charging properly. Now no matter what I do it won't fully charge even though I've reverted back to 1.4d. I've tried charging in WM then booting into android, deleting the batterystats.bin file through terminal, letting it die completely then recharging it, all with no luck. Tonight I think I might try fully charging in WM & doing a clean reinstall of Android.

This does work perfect - it appears calibration of the needs this to happen from time to time... I am pushing for 2 weeks now without taking battery out - so it works fine...
Besides this - battery improvement on my end was gained by installing Auto Killer and uninstalling setCpu and all Task Manager Killers, etc...
Just quick sugg for better battery life... (from 12%/hr stand-by I am now easily geting 5%/hr with light usage)...

Really Weird Charging Issue

Didn't see any relevant threads from a Google search, or a search on here. It's not so much an issue, as it is a potential bug. Sometimes the charge level never goes above 99%. It'll charge from say...70%, to 99%, and never get to 100%. I'm not sure if this is my phone, the battery, or an Android bug. I'm using Hyperdroid with Miri's V19 ROM.

I notice this with my phone too. It takes ages, if ever to get to 100%. When this happens I just boot back into winmo and let it charge there. usually if i'm at 99% in android it only takes about 5 minutes or so for my phone to hit 100% in winmo

as i stated before.
Boot to windows mobile once and charge to 100% make sure you are either hooked up to your charger or connected via active sync (other wise you cant get to your SD card) when the power indicator is Green boot to android.
Now you can drain your batt and charge back to 100%. Quic n dirty fix.

Something that worked for me : power off your phone, remove your battery for 1mn or so, and then it should fully charge in WM and Android.

Yeah thats all fun and games but then you have like 99% when you are back in android and the next time you have to charge you wil have to do it all over again.
If you charge it to 100% in winmo and keep it charging while booting android and you wil start with 100% bat and you wil keep it charging to 100% it may take a tad longer then in winmo but it wil get there every time. I ran my phone for about 3 weeks nonstop and full 100% every time i charged.

Yeah the battery doesn't always seem to charge to 100%
I've been following the IRC Logs and they say to charge in windows mobile sometimes as it could potentially effect your battery if it charges to 90% or 96% etc..

Its so funny all those big workarounds.
Wile all you need to do is charge your phone to 100% boot android while keeping it at 100% and u are home free but it seems my words are lost against a storm of nothingness.

I used to have that problem aswell. But after like 2 or 3 unsuccesful charges it started charging all the way to 100% without any problems at all. I also noticed that disabling data connection fixes the problem. For me atleast.

[Q] Battery Issues;BSOD/SOD;EBL?

So, I'm at a loss of what to do here. No matter what settings I seem to use I can't get good/decent battery life.
In fact, I get terrible battery life. With light to moderate usage I have to charge my phone at least two times a day, mostly three. Current widget reads that at standby I'm anywhere between 55mA-70mA and when in use 200mA-500mA. When charging it reaches 400mA-600mA
I see everyone talking about being able to get 5-10mA and I'm amazed at this. I've searched and read most "Battery saver" threads and none of it seems to work.
I was originally using Chucky rom lite and when I noticed the drain was abnormal I switched to the set up that chiasoft uses in his ReadMe for the ROM (stock 2.10ROM/2.08 radio).
Although since switching to the stock WinMo ROM I had repeated BSOD and SOD issues. To the point that it became unusable. I switched over to latest Energy ROM.I installed EBL and on both Stock and this Energy ROM. I am still having BSOD/SOD problems. Could it be the EBL? I plan on upgrading the radio to 2.12 in a few after I test out this EBL theory.
My setup as of this post is this:
WinMo ROM: Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.Nov.08 (Switched back to Stock 2.10)
Radio: 2.08.50.08_2 (Switched to 2.12)
Android: MooMoo Froyostone Sense 3.2 w/hastrain kernel
SetCPU:
998max/245min Ondemand on boot
Profiles: Screen off; Priority 100; 384max/245min ondemand
Battery <25% 576max/245min Priority 0 ondemand
Sampling 20000; Up Threshold 40
Advanced Task Killer:
Kill Level Agressive
I really don't want my LI-ON battery to die before I've even had the phone for the year. So if anyone can think of anything to help I'd be ever so grateful.
And of course, thanks to all the people who make all this possible.
(Sorry for the tl;dr post. I wanted to give as much info as possible.)

when you fully charge your batter what is your mV ? use the battery life widget to determine this. If it is not nowhere 4000mV once fully charged, you might need to consider buying a replacement battery.
btw. my mA reading is actually worst than yours. Might have to calibrate the battery again later.

idk what it is fully charged. I'll be sure to check it later though. How do you calibrate the battery?
Also, I realized that I made an oversight on my part. When I switched to the stock WinMo rom I hadn't realized fully that it changed my Radio to 2.08 even though I posted it.
The rom chef recommends 2.10ROM/2.12 Radio, so that's what I switched to to check out that combination.

btw change it to interactive not on demand.
you charge the battery when your phone is off. Till your charge indicator turns green.
Once that is off. you can use root explorer or adb and go to rm/data/system delete the batterystats.bin leave your phone plugged in while you are deleting the batterystats.bin file
i prefer root explorer. but its not free and your device has to be rooted.
let the phone drain the battery till its dead and turn it on again to make sure it is completely dead.
charge the phone like you would usually afterwards.

Yeah. No interactive settings. Also, that guide recommends 1190 max, but mine only goes up to 998.
Also, I finally got it to down to 7mA in standby. When I changed the radio to 2.12 and using a 2.10 stock WinMo rom.

no issues here getting 48 hours of light use, or a full 24 of moderate use...

I've yet to "condition" my battery. I'm worried it'll do more harm than good. Especially since I just got it finally to a decent mA draw. Although I'm worried my phone won't charge up to 100%. Always stop at 95.
Is conditioning really necessary/important?

easy answer... whats your full charge voltage? shuld be 4.2
if not , your looseing batt life..

yes full charge voltage should be around 4.2. Try charging it with the phone OFF till your charge indicator is green. This way you can achieve a full charge.
By the way how the hell are you getting 48 hours on light usage?? excuse my language. What are your setcpu settings, configurations. etc.

Yeah, 48 hours seems improbable. I finally got it down to 7-10mA on standby, and I think it charges up to 4.2 but I'll find out for sure tonight.

I had the same problem, make sure you use EBL android launcher and set to autoboot at 3 seconds. Make sure you restart your phone anytime youw ant to load android. I assure you this will work.

My HD2, like all others can be flattened in 2-3 hours with windows/android if used hard, the difference seems to be on very light usage/standby win mobile could last 4 days... with everything turned off and basically not used Android would struggle to last 2 days !
Same phone same network/signal levels etc, can only be poor power management within Android, and I think that means voltages for all the processor and comms modules, not just a simple case of turning down speeds.
What do others think ?

Update: Upon switching to WinMo:2.10 and Radio:2.12+ MooMoo's MMS fixed froystone3.2 I was achieving 6-10mA in standby. The phone would last all day with a two-three hour charging period with moderate usage. Low battery use, rare DC's. Perfect. Best build I've used so far.
I'm noticing a new problem however, and I wonder if it's happened to Chiasoft who recommended this build. I'm getting serious touch screen freezes since last night. Anytime before that the set up was working AMAZINGLY.
Now? It's almost unusable sometimes. This morning it was happening in Android so I switched to WinMo and surprisingly enough it happened in there too. So I read touch freezes are Radio problems mostly. Is this true? Should I switch to a new radio? I'm confused as to why it would just randomly start happening though and worried it would mess up my battery troubles I just solved.
Any advice?

Hmm. I noticed that it almost always freezes when I hold down the end home button to turn off the phone or data or to silence it. I can't actually use the touch screen again until I hit the button again to put it to sleep.
I wonder if it's hardware related because it was happening in WinMo that way as well.

Okay, so now the entire adroid system is acting up mostly related to the touchscreen. Like I use the calculator and it appears that i'm holding a button down. Or I try to make a call and it's not responding. It appears that when I hit end call button repeatedly it allows me to unlock the phone. But when holding down the end call button to get to the Power Off screen nothing in that menu is responsive.
It seems... software related, but I'm not sure. Any info would be helpful. I'm going to reformat my card and reinstall droid and see what happens.
So, called t-mobile. They're sending me a new replacer phone. Oh well. We'll see how that one goes.

I give you only a very short suggestion
You have just to DELETE SETCPU
and delete ANY TASK KILLER (you can keep it just to close any apps that could hang, but not to "free up ram")
Android is not Windows, you dont need to free up ram, and you dont need to overclock/undervolt to gain some minutes of battlife despite stability.
Talk to any Dev and they will confirm this.
Good Luck
