So im at a convention thisweekend and its been a while since I flash my rom to 3.2 freshbaked. This weekend I notice straight from 100% I was burning through most of it in 6-7 hour with out alot of usage. I took my phone out at 11:30 today and its only 4 and im already down to 36%. My battery usage shows 36% from system 22 from cell standby with 0 signal lost and 21 idle. Ill flash an updated rom when u get back.

flashed new 3.3.0 fresh and after a full charge i've left it idle for 2 hours and i've already drained 20% of the battery. That roughly 10 hours of doing nothing and my phones dead.
It could be some app you are using/installed.
I recently flashed Fresh and expierenced the same situation . My Android system was always the highest on the list . I removed apps and stripped it down , I wiped Dalvik and Cache you name it and the phone could sit idle and the Android system would be as much as cellstand by if not higher . I eventually just went back to stock Froyo with root . Android system now sits lower than cell stand by and phone idle
I'm using the newest fresh Rom with kings 9 kernel and set CPU. I never been a heavy user but I'm sitting at 19hrs and 43% I took it off the charger around 3pm Saturday and have not charged it since.

fresh 3.3, and netarchy's 4.1.9.1 fresh comp kernel, run your battery down to 3%, once there, boot into recovery, wipe your battery stats, and then reboot, once you reboot you may only get as far as the lockscreen before it shuts off, then either swap in a spare fully charged battery, or fully charge your battery with the phone turned off.
This is insane I'm currently Losing 1. 5. % a minute. Took it off 8 minutes ago and its down to 86 with 70% system usage

What is your signal like in the building? I had a similar issue when I couldn't get a good signal. The phone would last four hours just sitting on my hip.

I decided to do an experiment this morning. My fiance and I both have Dincs. We're both running SkyRaider 2.0.1. We both have the 1500mah touch pro 2 battery. I bump charged both phones this morning and both went off the charger at 8:30. I cleared my battery stats in clockwork immediately after the bump charge. I didn't clear her battery stats. She had been getting better battery life largely because I use my phone a lot more than she does. That changed today.
The numbers don't lie...
---------------------------------------------------------------
my phone - battery bump charged and battery stats wiped:
8/3 - off charger: 8:30am
Stats @ 10AM
Uptime: 1.5 hours
Awake: 1.25 hours
% left: 94%
Stats @ 12:30PM
Uptime: 4 hours
Awake: 3.75 hours
% left: 85%
Stats @ 3:45PM
Uptime: 7.25 hours
Awake: 7 hours
% left: 68%
Stats @ 12:30AM
Uptime: 16 hours
Awake: 10.5 hours
% left: 24%
---------------------------------------------------------
Fiance's Phone - Bump Charged, battery stats not wiped:
8/3 - off charger: 8:30am
Stats @ 12:30PM
Uptime: 4 hours
Awake: 1.25 hours
% left: 68%
Stats @ 12:30AM
Uptime: 16 hours
Awake: 7 hours
% left: 12%
----------------------------------------------------------
I've come to the conclusion that wiping your battery stats is a very important thing to do and will give you hours more battery life. I'm currently losing a little over 4% per hour, which should give me 23-25 hours of battery life. This is a very significant improvement over the 14-16 hours that she will likely get.
I do find it really odd however that my Uptime and Awake Time are so close. This would normally lead me to believe that some program isn't letting my phone go to sleep, but my battery life indicates that isn't happening.
----------------------------------------------------------
Day 2: Didn't get rid of need to bump charge. First bump charge actually seemed to take a little longer this morning (over 30 minutes). Second bump was 6 minutes. Had to scrap today since my fiance's phone didn't charge last night. It wasn't plugged into the wall. Doh!
i might give this a try. i'll be interested to see if others try it and see what their results are.
Would I have to clear battery stats every day in order to achieve this additional battery life, or is it only a semi-regular thing?
???
How do you wipe them in clockwork?
Question- did you fully charge, wipe, then drain battery down /all the way/ before re-charging (e.g. phone shuts itself down) or did you charge, wipe, and then let it drain a bit and then just plug it back in the charger at night without letting it shut itself down from lack of battery?
Thanks.
I just tried this earlier as well. I bump charged (charged with power off until led went green, booted all the way up, and then powered off, repeated this cycle like 3 times) and then wiped battery stats in clockworkmod (it's in advanced).
Too soon to see if it makes a difference, and I really didn't have any problems but figured longer is better right
Edit: I now plan to let the phone run until it shuts its self off

I doubt it, but don't know for sure yet. I'm tempted to charge it back up now to see if there is a difference in length of time spent bump charging. I hope it shortens it. I won't be clearing either of our stats tomorrow to see if the battery gains comparable to hers stick.

I let it drain itself all the way, then charged it overnight. woke up. bump charged for 1 cycle then cleared the stats.
Doesn't work for me, bump charged this morning then booted to recovery and wiped battery stats. If anything, it appears my battery life is worse and one side effect is I did not have 3g on the first reboot.

Your 3g data drop on reboot has nothing to do with wiping your battery stats. It's a known bug in the 2.2 roms. There's also no way that it could make your battery life worse. You're probably just using more heavily today. It's hard to compare one day to the next since your usage levels vary. I know that I use my phone way more than my fiance and comparing the same phones pulled off the charger at the same time is the only way to tell if it makes a difference.

I didn't have any problems with 3g on the first boot, and my battery life doesn't really appear to have been effected. I can go about a day between charges, and it stayed the same.... completely anecdotal though and I've only been through one charge.
you should clear stats regardless

I know about the 3g bug but I've never encountered it, ever, until I wiped the battery stats. Maybe that's just a coincidence.
Maybe the reboot due to the loss of 3g is what drained the battery more quickly initially. My routine is the same every morning. Unplug the phone, turn on pandora, walk ten minutes to work. So I have a fairly even amount of usage for the first few hours since it sits idle after that.
Maybe I'll revise my initial thoughts to say it may not be worse for the battery but I'm definitely not seeing the improvements you are. Can I ask what ROM you're running?
First Time Bumping
I have had issues on and off since I got my Dinc. Running SkyRaider RC3 atm seems worse since I flashed it.... 2.5 seemed better. Doing a bump charge/wipe now and will post later with results. I am a fairly heavy user (I know 'heavy' is very relative) and know that a whole day (about 8am to 8pm) is pushing it for me, but I am lucky to make it till 12pm. I have actually seen it drop to 20% before 11am. During the first few hours of the day, I may check 2 emails, send no more than 3 txt and make one phone call... Seems like a big drain for that.
Weird, I wiped my battery stats today for the first time and also NEVER had a 3g problem when rebooting. Now EVERY TIME I reboot there isn't 3g untill I turn on and off airplane mode. I know the two doesn't seem to be revenant, but it seems like a lot of people are running into the same exact problem. Anyone care to input on this?
Well later on in the day I tried a restart again the the 3g turned on a few minutes after the phone booted. It still hadn't ever taken this long before, but it did come through on its own. Just a little update on my last post. I'm still interested in knowing why though
Well so far so good, but didn't use it much today. 3G bug happens to me every reboot, but comes on in a few seconds. I'm at 54% atm and bumped/cleared at 2pm est its now 10 pm

If your phone uptime is close or same as the number of hours u have since unplugged, that means it's the usb bug preventing your phone from going to sleep.
What u need to do each time your phone is fully charged (connected to the wall charger or USB cable), u will need to unplug the cable and do a manual reboot.
Otherwise, the phone might still think it is plugged to an external power source and refuse to go to sleep even while your screen is turned off and your phone is idle.
Then u should see using Spare Parts or Battery History App, that your uptime is around 10% to 16% of your total time the phone has been unplugged.
So I have been using Obsidian v 2 for the pad two days and have been getting twelve hours of moderate to heart use which is aesome, this being done before a battery stats wipe. So I wiped my stats last night, charged completely and unplugged. Over night it dropped twenty five percent on stAndby. And now while using it it seems to drop faster than before. Any thought on how to improve the life again?

Check the running services see what's running
I reverted back to stock JFD, hit 100% charge and left it on, took it off the charger at 2:15 this morning, slept until 6 and woke up to 100%....that's 4hrs, mind you in stand by. So now I've been texting, played some Doodlejump and twitter and I'm sitting at 91% left. Even checked GPS, with use wireless networks checked, locked on right away and accurate.
Just saying.
I'd check what's running the back ground, check the synced items, maybe a rogue app?
Thanks. It does seem like there maybe something in through background running. Will search it out.

I'm not having good battery life too. In all custom roms i am experiencing this but when at JI6 i can last more than 15 hours. I'm using obsidian V2 now and i'm at 13 hours with 30% and that's with 10 hours of standby and 3 hours of continous usage. Now good for me if you ask.
has anyone had the issue of the battery dying extremely fast after a stats wipe?
so i wiped battery stats after following the directions for royalginger...but was never able to get the rom to boot...so ive loaded up a backup...but now the battery is losing about 3-5% every 30 minutes with the phone just sitting idle on my desk
this battery normally would normally sit at 100% for at least 9 hours idling just sitting on my desk overnight or just while i work on the computer
so the details...im running IG 1.1.6 with Faux's 0.7.7b kernel...OC'ed to 1209max/368min...watchdog claims to have 49 apps running with 1% used and 95% idle...wifi and wifi calling enabled
so anyone got any ideas? is it normal to see battery drain quicker after stat wipe? should i let this drain and then follow one of the calibrate battery guides?
im at a loss here...i just want my 9 hours at 100% back
I never got 9 hours just sitting I'm trying to get that now...

From what I gather you really aren't suppossed to do a stats wipe as of now. Since there is a bug in the phone/recovery which powers the phone on while charging there is now way to fill the battery to a true 100% so you could then wipe the stats.
If you did, chances are you wiped when your phone realyl wasnt at 100%, thus now your 100% is really 90.,.
im using gummynex rom, with the sgs-ns-ics kernel, and the battery drain suddenly became HORRIBLE.
i've used this combo before as well (kernel is on conservative/cfq), but never experienced this kind of drain. cant remember if it happened after updating or what.
1-2 hours of screen time, phone is DEAD. android os 50%+ battery usage.
left my phone unplugged overnight, and this morning when i woke up it was sitting at 40%, and it was 100% when i started sleeping. (6hr 30mins).
i used to get atleast 15hr, should i be changing the rom or the kernel? or downgrading the rom?
wifi = always on
3g/gps/autosync = off
good signal
Mix it up, try a different kernel... if that doesn't help, try a different rom.

Try draining your battery to 0% (until it shuts off by itself). Then, charge it (non-stop) to 100%.
I had similar problem flashed new ROM codename + matr1x kernel
And battery only last 10hrs.
I drained the battery then fully charge and used battery calibration app then drained again and full charge difference was amazing got 22hrs . I left my phone all night with wifi on when wake up 98% .
It might work for you too.

With ICS, you don't have to delete your NS' battery stats, as it resets automatically once it reaches full charge.
I am using the stock 4.0.3 rom with air kernel 3.1....the phone is working normally with 50+ hours of battery time since its unplugged and it still is sitting at 22 percent....
Hey,guys! I'm having some problems with my g2 lately. For two weeks now I have been having severe battery drain. When I open the battery menu it says that android system is using 25%,sometimes drops to 22%,sometimes goes up to 30%. The screen usage varies. I don't know what to do. I can barely get 3 hours screen time,most of the time i get 2 hours. Last night I left my phone at 12AM and I had 40% battery. Haven't been using it till I woke up and when I woke up the battery was dropped at 16%. That is just extreme! Any advice?
Turn off locations.
Long press power off and reboot to safe mode for a couple of hours. If bad battery continues just perform factory or hard reset and it will be fine. If battery life is good in safe mode then some app is eating your juice (no pun intended).

Hope you wiped cache .
Install clean master feom plan and let it scan. Follow suggestion promted also install grenify app (requires root) and hibenate the app which runs constantly. For this check app running section in settings. A
You can also have titanium backup to feeeze apps which you do not use and see them running to save some juice
