Battery is draining at least, and I say at least 20 percent per hour, and to top it off, i can only get full charge if phone is turned off. Other wise it charges to 83 percent. Any ideas?

No info? no kernal version? no rom info?
We can make random suggestions
I use shubcraft 1.5 with michy's r11 kernal with setcpu underclocked to about 800mhz.
I use current widget to gauge what batt life wll be like.
Using the most recent hyper droid. Not sure about kernel, but I downloaded the most recent off some website last week

20% per hour is really weird. do you have setcpu installed? with it i could reduce drain from about 5-6% to 1.6% per hour!
as far as i know in no android build you can charge to 100%. that means not in android... you should shutdown your phone and charge it then. after that start android and it SHOULD show 100%. mine charges till 96% in android - in winmo and shutdown it does to 100%!
you are probably having this issue because of

This is the ffirst time I have itterally gone a whole day on one charge; got up and switched to the N1 at 910 and at around....830 I put it back on the charger at around 15 percent.
I checked email, surges the web and texted throughout the day; I could maybe go half a day on my Captivate.
I seriously thought aabout ordering some spare batteries off of eBay but I'm really rethinking that now.

My setup is the rooted, deoxed version of stock 2.3.3. Amazingly fast (just as fast and smoother than the Atrix) and obviously has great battery life.
I'm using Zeam launcher with a few Widgets, light flow and my led light (top of phone) stays lit all if the time.
Checking the stats, I used 83 megs of data that came from web browsing, twitter, downloading applications, and email and stuff.

you should be able to as long as the 1 year warranty is not up. Did he happen to mention when he purchased it?
I don't have much problem with battery life, if I am at the place with good signal receptions.
Here is my, Battery use graph, which is built into the Gingerbread.
BTW, I did re-charging during the duration.
Settings -> About Phone -> Battery use -> Tap the title bar.
My setup.
Stock GRI40
Kernel : 2.6.35.7 from android.git.kernel.org (compiled with my own taste of configurations)
Governor : Conservative
CPU speed : 128Mz - 998 MHz.
Based on my battery stats, I have an estimated battery life of nearly 48 hours if I leavr the phone alone.
With CM7 RC2 and wifi sleep policy set to never.

With sleep policy to never on CM7 RC2, does that affect battery life when wifi is turned off? Read some posts its just some bug?

set wifi sleep to never increases your battery life dramatically. if you let wifi sleep, then it switches back to 3g which destroys battery much faster than wifi. so leave wifi sleep on NEVER.
just called htc and told them i was having battery issues. they asked for my imei# told me i still had 3 months of warranty left then asked where i would like my new battery sent great customer service!
Me battery start behave strange, i charge it for 3-4h, calibrate but after unpluging it drop to 95, 90, 80% very fast (~30min). It's hapen on new miroslav rom and new pebe froyo and ginger.
Is this normal or...?
Sent using Tt.
it' not normal. I charge my phone after 2 day with SDSL miroslav but when I use Mur4ik's rom, I charged my phone after 1 day.
I often use wifi and music program.
I have the same problem!
Does this mean that my bat is going bad?
i think it comes with the time..
my battery is behaving similar and it just gets reloaded to 98 % sometimes max 90%
the same with my CPU. today i crashed while showing my wonderful 880 mhz and nothing was moving anymore ^^

Battery Drain in Mur4ik's rom.
Well for me with normal use, (some internet, wifi, games, and apps, 10 min max a day for phone and some ****ty network coverage) with Mur4ik's rom i get 1 day of battery.
On the 2.3.7 SwiftDroid 2 RC5 the battery life is pretty good. But I don't use 3G or WiFi that much.
I got school at around 6 am. By the time I eat lunch it's already at 57%. By the time I get home around 5 and it's already at 17%.
All I do is listen to music (doubletwist/playerpro) and play Cut the Rope, WTF!?
Cell standy by is 46% in batter usage followed by wifi with 11%
any help guys?
What I tend to do is have brightness down to about half. Have you also tried fully charging the phone, taking the battery out and charging back to full? I sometimes find it drops down but regenerates itself.

Brightness is below half,I never go over. WiFi is on but not all the time.
Stock rom 2.3.4 rooted
Do you have data off?
How's your phone signal most of the time? It has been proven that low/bad signal drains battery quicker than good signal.
Sometimes certain buildings/rooms have pretty bad reception making it a huge drain for your phone.

This is a useful piece of information, however is not really practical. Ideally we don't want to be turning off our phones on every charge :/
I myself own 3 batteries, and alternate them (I have a wall charger for the batteries)
what ver are you using if 2.3.4 the battery issue is fix.
I get 3 /4 bars, at school right new and yea some times I get nothing, especial ly during the subway ruse which is an hour

Once I updated my phone to 2.3.3 I noticed that the battery life was sub-par, only lasting 3/5s of the day on a full charge.
I proceeded to root my phone (as I don't have the money to unlock my Big Red Bootloader); after installing SetCPU I took down the clocking meter 1 notch (768MHz) and the phone is stable with not difference in performance (so far). Doing this and removing some unneeded bloatware has increased my battery life 2.5x and I can go almost 3 days on a single charge.

xiEvo is correct and I've read a lot of good stuff regarding battery life with 2.3.4. I can only begin to imagine what kind of battery life I'll have once I get that update.

Hey guys. I recently rooted my gt540 for the first time. Everything went smoothly, i installed a rom with fastboot, installed clockwork recovery and then the problems came. I installed swiftdroid 2.3.7 and i noticed the battery was draining too fast. The only thing that was on was wifi. I dont even use a sim in that phone. I left the phone at home and when i came home 5hours later it turned off. I thought this rom was to blame so I installed polish blood beta 6 ics rom. When i'm using the phone the battery is draining very fast. And also when i plug it in it is recharging too fast. It goes from 40% to 60% in a minute. Before I started installing these custom roms my phone could last weeks in standby mode with wifi on. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thanks in advance

You have two options, first from the android market download battery calibration, charge your phone to 100 % or when phone indicates "charged", run battery calibration and click calibrate, it will remove battery stats from the system (you need to do this every time you flash a rom, the second method, after your phone is fully charged, go into clockwork recovery (power + home), choose advance, and choose remove battery stats to remove it, restart and enjoy, hope it helps!

Our phone is not suitable for later versions on android,tha one you mentioned are roms which eat a lot of battery.......if you are lookin for battery performance switch to 2.1 roms.......

So then it's not just my phone. But it seems illogical that it drains so fast. If I used this phone as my personal device it wouldnt last me even two hours of active usage. What's the point of these ROMS if they cant get you at least through the day?

wrong sub section but in answer, my s2 done that all the time almost after flashing a rom.
could start off at 100%, flash a rom and itd be at say 25% then start building up again toward its correct %. no biggy, its kinda normal :good:
Wrong section to post this but this problem also happens on my s2, it is something wrong with the fuel gauge. Just do regular charging and discharging and it should return to normal.

Your battery has a problem. Cause of overcharging.

If you've flashed a new rom, often the history of battery values and voltages get messed up. So its not really sure what percentage of battery is left when the battery is at X volts for example. Usually a complete discharge followed by a full charge should recalibrate the battery monitoring.

Try a few complete charge cycles. Hopefully it should fix itself coz its not really uncommon.
you should download battery calibration app
