Fully charged my phone night before last and went to work in the morning (9am). I didn't touch it all day, didn't even turn it on. On my drive home at 5pm it was dead, off.
I plugged it in with the phone off when I got home and saw that it was fully charged a few hours later around 10pm and I booted it up and left it alone. This morning it was dead, off.
Looking at the apps that take up my battery doesn't work because it doesn't retain information what happened to the phone prior to the last reboot. Not sure what to do. My awake time matches my standby time exactly. It's obviously a 100% awake time problem but what's triggering this?
I'm on Fresh .3 with absolutely no other mods. I don't think I have any apps that ping outside servers. So what the ****!?
EDIT:
lulz, I just realized I haven't been even able to use the phone in 3 days due to this issue
Something is eating your battery obviously.
Restore to stock and see if you have the same issues.

That's a PITA. This is a clean fresh .3 rom install with only logmein, dropbox and couple non-online games installed. Why is this phone such ****ing fail right now.
Have you removed the Favorites widget? Doing that stopped all battery drain problems for me. Just delete the widget.
First thing to check is if you have a sufficient cellular signal. If you are getting a weak signal it will cause poor battery life. If cell signal strength is not your problem then it is definitely something you have installed on it eating away at your battery. That said check/do the following:
1) Check how frequently you have your accounts syncing
2) Before the phone dies look in your battery use to see what's eating your battery
3) Install a task manager/killer (I use Advanced Task Killer)
4) You don't have to do this one but it does help. I use a program called Startup Auditor to disable startup on apps I don't need to run when the phone first boots (you'd be surprised how many are in there).

delete it completely or remove it from one of the home panels?
the "time without signal" workarounds seem to prove the most effective for me. in addition, reduce background usage and automatic update frequencies as best as you can.
according to this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709768] (and link within), HTC has acknowledged some issues and is preparing to deploy a few fixes.
You are running someone else's ROM, there could be a problem with the radio, or a problem with the way it was loaded.
If you are in an area where you don't get signal, you are going to drain the battery, and FAST.
Do you have 4g on but not in a 4g area?
I am...
fully rooted and have fresh .3 as well. I am getting over 30hrs with moderate use and the last hour of that I had everything on to purposely run it down to dead. (was doing a toastch recommeded battery meter calibration).
Took my phone off the charger last night at 7:30 pm. It's 2:23pm and I have 31% left. I have Wifi, BT, and Background apps with auto sync turned on.
I would say you might be experiencing the Motorola cell tower problem. HTC has confirmed that the EVO is not playing well with cell towers that have motorola transmitters. It is causing the phone to use more energy to dial in the tower.
To be sure...
1. Set all apps and widgets to manual update or update once a day.
2. Get rid of the people app or widget from any home screen.
3. Go into Gtalk and uncheck auto sign in. Then sign out when you exit the program.
4. charge the phone until the green light comes on. Don't use a battery meter. The second the green light comes on, go into recovery and wipe the battery stats. Reboot the phone and run it until the battery dies and will not longer power the phone. This does nothing for the battery but does recalibrate the internal battery meter.
5. For maximum life...turn off: background data, WiFi, BT, and Mobile networks when not using. keep screen at 1/2 brightness.
If I do the above and manually update mail, weather, social apps, etc... and only turn radios on when I need them, I can get 40 hrs. out of my EVO and this is under moderate to high moderate use.
One other thing....plug your phone in for 10 minutes. Then unplug it and go into immediate stand by for like 30 minutes. Go to settings>about phone>battery>battery use>cell standby. Time without signal should be very low....anything over 10-15% and I'd suspect that if you did everything in 1-5, you have a towers issue robbing your battery.
I was having awake time issues with Fresh .3, so I switched to DamageControl, and everything has been great. Unplugged this morning at 7, and I still have 75% battery remaining. Better battery life than the Hero or BlackBerry Tour!

I seem to be having the same problem as you and it is quite frustrating. I get a steady 10% battery drain every hour even when its idle. I tried juice defender and setcpu and it is still the same. I turned off all my sync accounts and nothing. I also have systempanel and it doesn't seem like theres a rogue app eating my batteries.I'm going to truth to stock tonight to see if something is wrong with my phone. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your phone?
AVA9 i get 20 hours a charge
but YES something is eating your battery install system pan have and let it run a bit and check the info id bet its
1 your evo spend a lot of tWOS
2 you have a rogue app eating your battery
Way to bump an ancient thread.
DOH dear god i did not look at that lol
I do apologize for bumping such an old thread, but I feel like this thread has already asked much of what I also wanted to ask but have not reached a conclusion. Therefore I would like to try and solve the problem or provide as much info as I can to solve the problem.
I indeed have installed systempanel and here are the screenshots for the day.

(sorry my account is not allowed to post links)
As you can see besides the internet, there is nothing else thats taking up the battery. Also I took this pic after I put the phone on the charger for a bit, it was at ~ 13% before. The battery usage information says a majority of the battery was used by #1 android system and #2 cell standby, it was neck and neck almost, with #3 being phone idle. My weather app polls every 3 hours, my facebook syncs every 30 mins, my htc sense facebook syncs once a day, and I have not configured any other emails except for two gmail acconts, which received probably 3 emails throughout the whole day.
I just used setcpu today, it made absolutely no difference. Same results as yesterday when I did not have setcpu. Thanks in advance for the help!
dude you need to try my setup: superevo and setcpu
i got 7 days of battery using the evo as a simple phone.

Why would anyone use an EVO as a simple phone.
I am beginning to think peoples opinions on moderate use vary tooooo much. The EVO is similar to an unplugged laptop. The more you make the cpu work the faster your battery is going to drain.
It seems some people just dont get that.

Sounds like Operator error.
I had everything turned off. No email, no sync, no wifi, no gps, nothing. I fully charged the battery and unplugged it before I left. Display was never turned on. I wanted to see a completely isolated battery test. The only applications I had active according to my task manager was Launcher Pro.
Time on 10 hours 20 minutes
Battery life left 60%
Battery used 40%
Cell Standby - 40%
Phone Idle - 30%
Android System 20%
Calls (1 missed call) 5%
Display 3%
Maps 2% (Why does maps show up?)
Again this is with absolutely 0 use or syncing going on. Left phone at home, turned on and immediately checked stats when I got back from work.
According to this small test I can't even last a day on a full charge even if I left it completely alone.
Thoughts?

In 1.5 day of standby with every radio off and no sim, my phone only lost about 5% with stock JI6.
I think it is a cool idea. I find that 5% usage for one missed call is very bad. I have really suspected that voice calls kill this battery and that seems to add evidence. 5% for a missed call? That is messed up.
I think this is the aspect of battery life that doesn't get addressed enough: drain during standby. Of course everyone expects to lose some power while the display is on and syncing/other processes are running--but what about when the phone is left untouched? Here are 3 ideas:
3g is a notorious battery drain even when the phone is not being used--use 2g instead.
Freeze or uninstall media hub and other running processes that attempt to run/connect to servers in the background. I removed dmservice, media hub, and all drm processes and this seemed to be helpful.
Use a custom rom--these appear to hold power in standby better than stock roms do.

Cell Standby indicates that there is an activity that polls something from the network.
if you are so concerned about what it might be, you can see when and how much data is being used by going to your TMO account online and check for the data usage - one of the good features TMO put in place is actually tell you when your phone connected to get what amount of data over the data connection, does not tell you what it was doing though.
Yeah, something is going very wrong in your phone. When my phone is on standby with just 2G on it drains less than 1% per hour. I would definitely recommend getting rid of the drm service and media hub (and Daily Briefing). I also use Autostarts to keep all kinds of random programs from starting at inappropriate times (Really Slacker, does your app need to launch every time the time zone changes?)

According to Samsung the phone should last 450 hours in standby mode...

I wonder if Samsung's definition of "standby mode" is what the rest of us call "off".
I've never had any kind of batt life with this phone...charge everday overnight...start work at 8, use here and there for navi (around 10 mins max, maybe 2x a day) about 30 min avg talk...and mp3 player...get home by 4 and always at 30% or (most often ) less...have had stock/ bionix roms, never changed, no matter what build....it's pathetic..called tmo, they said there are no known issues with batt on this phone...wow...do a google search on it..anyways, they are sending out a new batt..I hope I just got a bad one...seems very random tho, some ppl have all radios on ,screen all the way up and get 10+ hrs...if i left my screen on (say navi on) for more then an hour straight I'd be out of battery..very weird..praying new batt is better...

Does it seem like youre just not getting the battery life you should from your phone? Do all your other friends keep going while you slowly putter into a shutdown? Well pout no more! Simply follow these steps to clear your batter information from the phone and your phone will act better then new! :)
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot to normal
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
8. Rejoice!"
I turned my phone off today. Then I left the house. When I got back the battery was glad to see me. Seriously, I've read just about everyone and almost started my own battery disturbance thread. I've come up with a new thought at least for me. I don't care any more. I have electricity. I have a spare battery and a charger. If my phone wants to last a whole day. Yay! If I use it more because of some game with angry birds or cards or dice, great. I've reached that Mark Twain moment somewhat tweaked when he said,
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.”
I'll tweak it with the last 27% of battery left in my feeble vibrant to:
"battery is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it won't matter".
Enough already I say! Lets spare the air. Batteries are meant to be used
Back to the regular reading of all the battery threads now.
I think I had the same issue as you. Cell standby was the biggest drain. When you tap on that, do you see 50% time without signal? If that's the case, this seems to be a bug in Android which was somehow introduced in JI6. The best solution I've found so far is after every boot to put your phone in flight mode for a few seconds and back. This fixes the radio glitch, your time without signal should go down way under 50%, and battery drain should stop. Hope that helps.
You should recondition your battery:
Fully charge
Reboot into recovery wipe battery information
Reboot into OS
Unplug power cable
Let battery FULLY drain (do not plug in until fully dead)
FULLY charge battery (do not unplug until fully charged)
This reconditioning should be done after every ROM flash.

The wildfire has a really good battery already
No need to calibrate imo. Can last 2+ days for me when I don't abuse the wifi and games.
First feedback.....no noticable difference seen.....What do seem to help is to charge you phone longer even after green light indicates that battery is full.....For me than takes longer to go from 100 to 99.

How do you do this? I'm doing everything, I underclock my phone down to 160-245 Mhz, I turn on my wifi only when I have to, I keep my phone in airplane mode permanently, I constantly run on display turned down to max. And yet I've yet got to witness my phone going over 18h uptime. Do you run a custom ROM or something?

I find the same thing, and have even been thinking of returning it because it can't last longer than 24hrs. I have even restored to stock and hard reset, so no apps added or anything, BT/WIFI off and the battery life still sucks.

Yes I've tried openfire rom and wildpuzzle rom. Battery lasts as I have stated. I also use setcpu to set up profiles when phone screen is off to help it a little
Would also like to add that on the stock rom, the battery lasts long as well but custom rom is better
My phone is a stock. But as you can see, the battery life leaves a lot of room for improvement. How can I increase ir?
Not sure, but after rooting my battery life improved signigficantly, and it also charges fast than before... htc wildifire.
ok so i charged my phone to 100% and left it on my table untouched last night when i got to sleep, left it in my pocket today at uni without using wifi/games, just to check the time, is currently still at 99% with up time of 14hrs so far.
and if you want to maximise your battery life with stock rom, lower brightness, disable auto sync of accounts, disable 3g if you're not using it, try juice defender, i think that might help you guys.

Hmm strange, I have installed it and icon shows normally in application list.
I went through the calibration process and my battery life has increased significantly. Currently I have 5 hours and 12 minutes of uptime with occasional phone calls and some wifi usage - battery is at 99%.
I find that battery life is all about how strong ur signal is.
At home i get a full 3g signal, battery lasts about 30 hours with my syncs on all day, couple of hours of wifi and maybe 30 mins of gaming and about 30mins of phone calls.
When i'm at work and the signal fluctuates i get about 20 hours average.
When i was in a restaurant for a party recently from 7pm to midnight, there was hardly any signal and i used about 60% of the battery in 5 hours!
At the end of the day if the battery lasts for 18hours with all my stuff turned on then i won't complain as the phone does everything you need except make the tea!
I mean what's the point of turning all the smartphone stuff off? Might as well just go and buy a Nokia.

I faced the same problem, since rooting my wildfire. Can someone answer. Tks
last night the phone was fully charged at 7pm. made no calls, went on the web for 10 minutes, checked my alarm to be sure it was set. at this point it was 9pm at 70%. woke up this morning at 23% at 6am.
what the heck is going on? i have to say, i never had this problem before i did the ODEX Mod. but noticed it started around the same time that i also installed the Weatherbug app which is always updating. so i deleted that.
is there anything i can do to check what exactly is using the battery?
I'm using SystemPanel (paid), because it has a monitoring tool, and allows me to check the which apps are in used.
It did help me weed out certain bad apps that were taking up resources.

9 Hours 55 Minutes since last unplugged.
Phone idle - 60%

Battery is still at 90+ percent.
I don't have any program managers running other than the factory system manager which has nothing on its terminate list. Something is definitely up with some program or mod you have done.

To be honest with you, I can't recall because I was using those when I got the Captivate months ago...on top of my head, the official facebook app, some random battery widgets, but mostly have been updated since or I stopped using those.
I do have to add, I'm not sure how well the SystemPanel reports on the Atrix, because it shows as single core. I'm going to check with the dev.
Mine was unplugged (fully charged) from 8pm yesterday through now (12.30pm, and I still have 40%. (approximately 16.5 hrs?).
I left emails on (MailDroid, with sound/vibrate off from 12am - 7am), light flow LED night save mode off, battery to performance mode).
My widgets on screen (currently on the Atrix): 3G watchdog, LauncherPro's facebook widget and calendar widget, GTask, Catch notes, 2 sets of extended controls and beautiful widgets home.

...had the exact same problem. Uninstalled WeatherBug and that fixed it!
me too had the same problem with weather bug, if you really want a weather widget get one that you can set how often it downloads data. i use sense home clock with weather set to refresh every 3 hours.
i uninstalled weatherbug and still having the same problem. before the Atrix i was on the Droid X and had to SBF to get rid of the issue with weatherbug killing my battery. i proved it with a friend. very very odd..
what i want to do now is SBF this phone, but how? i have ODEX'd or whatever and rooted.
how do i get it back to out of box state?
give the phone some time to recalibrate the battery stats or you may have other apps that are still draining your battery

isnt there a way to sorta SBF this since there hasnt been any real development yet for ROM's??
or will a factory reset be ok and possibly fix my problem?

To perform an External Manual Reset of your handset to restore to factory settings, read instructions below and then perform.
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up
Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.
Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.

There is something seriously wrong with your phone then, that's all I can say. With no apps and no syncing I would assume it is a hardware issue.
I think you guys are missing the point entirely. A few of you may have rom issues, software issues or even hacker issues. 70% of battery issues are due to a dead or dying battery . If you do the research you will find batteries are made to last 1 year with moderate usage and that is only if you follow the manufacturer's charging instructions to the letter. Come on guys how do you think the capitalist make their money? Lol I guess you thought they were gonna give you an atomic battery that would never die!

If you like me and you refuse to play the pig game... charge your phone via usb only. My charger put out 1 amp power. Usb puts out half that power. The slower you charge a battery the longer it holds a charge.
It really is interesting to me to see all these modified roms floating around. It's like you think you can trust anybody. I don't trust my own mother. Just last night she had the phone company put a signal locator on my IMEI (international mobile equipment identifier.) History will prove it is true that if you give people power they will abuse it.

found a response to my own questions from this morning about SBF....
[FLASH_SBF] Motorola Atrix 4G U4_1.5.2
Avid Droidery said:
I think you guys are missing the point entirely. A few of you may have rom issues, software issues or even hacker issues. 70% of battery issues are due to a dead or dying battery . If you do the research you will find batteries are made to last 1 year with moderate usage and that is only if you follow the manufacturer's charging instructions to the letter. Come on guys how do you think the capitalist make their money? Lol I guess you thought they were gonna give you an atomic battery that would never die! It's probably banned by the trade federation even though it does exist. Anyway congratulations it's time to go shopping.

Ummmm....the Atrix came out last month. Soooo, how did your "friends" have one for more than a year?
I'm on full stock . My last boot time is around 52 hours for some reason gsam battery monitor has my phone as held awake for almost 8 hours of which 3 were sot and around 2 was doze . I'm using greenify with aggressive doze and a lot of apps greenified . Is this normal ? There is no app wasting battery in battery tab . Only thing not normal is a media server process which run for 27 minutes total
Your device is being held awake nearly 100% of the time (look at Held Awake and then add Screen On time).
This is not normal... In my bone stock device Held Awake time is typically 1 hour for every 5-6 hours of screen off time.
I would suggest installing Wakelock Detector and seeing what is actually keeping the device from sleeping.

After a fresh reboot and after two hours I have a held awake for 11 minutes and the phone actually went to deep sleep now I'll check the app you told me and report back
Edit: quick question since I don't have root is the ADB activation safe for the phone? I only have it for two months so I don't know how to handle these commands yet

Yes. Completely safe... It just gives the app a way to read extended battery stats.

I have the permission from yesterday other than some system processes there isn't something that shouldn't be running . I suspected it could be google fit causing the phone to stay awake since most of the time I have the phone in my pocket and I'm walking . After the uninstall nothing major . Most stay awake time during a 5 hour session is 36 minutes or so

I see no issues here... You would see thousands of seconds of awake time or thousands of wakes

The most I've seen is from an nlpwakelock that was around 100 wakes
Lol... I wish I had 11% wake times, mine are more around 25%. I'd call this one good.
The radio phone in my Style consume around the 17% of the battery, I have seen that you have lower %

This varies a lot based on signal strength... the SD808 is pretty battery friendly with great signal, but poor signal will drain the battery quite quickly, nothing you can really do about it.

Something is requesting your network (rough) location via Wifi and Mobile Network, and Google Services is trying to do it but can't because you are in airplane mode... It's a misbehaving app that doesn't acknowledge airplane mode, very hard to find when it's so intermittent.
What would an average deep sleep time be over night?

From the time you go to sleep til you wake up, assuming at least 5 hours or more, I would think no less than 95%. I typically hit around 97-99% depending if I wake up and check the time or snooze my alarm a few times. But I use amplify and Greenify along with various other tweaks (I.e, no WiFi, mobile data, or auto sync) maximize battery.
This is what I got... But I am stock and not rooted.
