Aren't we supposed to have better battery life especially since the JIT compiler is on 2.2? My slide ever since I rooted it seems to get pretty bad battery life using around like 8 hours using it all day for email and ****. But when I had the espresso sense stock ROM I could easily get 14 hours of battery life on the same usage.
Just wondering maybe some mem suckers or something? I'm not using live wallpapers either and I stay on wifi pretty much at my house all day.
I'm on the latest CM6 nightly.

Boot into clockwork recovery. Hit advanced, wipe battery stats, reboot.
I've been using the 806 kernel (thanks dumfuq) with roman's 1.8 ROM and honestly, if you load up the latest SetCPU (I didn't use it much previously), it does the work for you.
I set up 3 main profiles and a couple others. Basically, I wanted whenever my Battery was < 100% to run at max/min 806/600 conservative(but i change this time to time), then Batter was < 15% m/m 600/400 powersave, but the profile the rules all will be whenever my Screen Off m/m 245/245. Now that can be a pain for letting your phone go while it does stuff because it does run a lot slower then while it's off, but honestly this does the trick completely, I've had freakin sick battery life.
Thanks for the replies. See its not too bad its just significantly lower than the slides ota update stock. But I am runing set cpu and that seems to help out alot. Post me your exact profiles and ill try them out. Also I did wipe battery stats and **** when I first flashed everything over but thats been like 4 nightlies ago. Ill do it again tonight when its dead and then recharge it all night.

In order, here's how I liked mine (but again, itll vary on your usage and junk..)
Type=Screen Off, min/max=245/245, priority=100, gov=powersave
Type=Charging USB/Full, min/max=806/600, priority=95, gov=ondemand
Type=Charging/Full, min/max=806/600, priority=90, gov=performance
Type=Battery<15%, min/max=400/400, priority=75, gov=powersave
Type=Battery<100%, min/max=806/600, priority=70, gov=conservative
Obviously, I'm still working and adjusting but for now this is how Ive been running and really had some great bat life. I may change the governor at any given point for perf. purposes, but usually this is what Ive had it at for a few days. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I can help you out a lil more too man.
Thanks
TJD319 i gotta say thanks also for those profiles, I made a CM6 youtube vid for slide thats uploading and i want you to know i gave you full credit for the profiles that i use. they really are a big help, so i want you to know that.
I also would like to say thanks, with your profiles TJD319 my phone has been running mightly fine, no problems!
Remix, cool video, would be a nice refrence for people looking into overclocking/flashing cm6.
I'd also like to thank you for the profiles. I set them up yesterday and as of right now (on #TeamFenix 1.8 with the recommended kernel... not 806), I've had it unplugged for 27 hours and I'm at 38% battery left.
Thank you!

Only the best one out there, called Setcpu. Dont use any of those other ones, setcpu is in its own league.
I downloaded and set up SetCPU for only the screen off @ 245, and wow that alone has helped battery life immensely.

What does that do and how does it affect battery life?
I am yet another VERY satisfied Setcpu customer. Major improvements on an OC'd rom. The cool thing about Michael Huang is he posts the app free here on XDA. Seek and ye shall find.
I'm thinking about going back to the 806 kernel. When using that on CM6 with SetCPU I got up to 4 days with regular use. Now it's 2/2.5 with the 844. I suppose it's a drawback for wanting to play Final Fantasy 7 smoothly.
You guys need to understand the profile settings to realize what you're doing with them.
Powersave: always runs at the minimum you set.
Performance: always runs at the maximum you set (mainly used for benchmarking).
Ondemand: starts at your min, and clocks up according to how much cpu it needs. For ex. if I have it set at 400/806 ondemand, it stays at 400, goes up to 600 if it needs too, and then goes up to 806 if it needs to.
Conservative: same as ondemand, but tries to stay lower if possible.

In the off chance your battery has been improperly calibrated, this will give you the chance to recalibrate. This goes for all android devices. I have had to do it once so far with my slide. The battery wouldn't last longer then 8 hours. Wiped the stats, recalibrated, and voila.

let your phone die. turn it back on, run it until it dies again. keep trying to turn it on til it dies and worn't turn back on. Then plug it in, still powered off, and let it charge til the light turns green (should take 3-6hrs, patience...). Boot phone, still plugged in, and let LED turn green again. Reboot into recovery. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache. reboot. let your phone settle for about 20 minutes before unplugging it. this should calibrate your battery.

So I basically have Stock 2.2 with a lot of the unnecessary apps removed. The other day I installed King's 4th Kernel hoping for better battery performance but in the end it's a little worse. I'm not blaming the kernel for my performance issues. But I'm looking for feedback to get better battery life.
Right now I am not using Set CPU. I just flashed the ROM, wiped the dalvik cache, and decided not to wipe the battery stats. I've been using the #4 kernel for two days now.
I work my phone pretty hard every day and have a good idea of when it's gonna die. I don't bother bump charging but rather replace the battery with a spare I have on hand.
Any recommendations to fix my problem?
Try a different kernel?
Get Set CPU? I'm not interested in overclocking but I realize other features are available.
Wipe the battery stats?
One thing I can say for certain is that I've been using this kernel with my current setup for 2 days now and battery performance is worse. Something definitely needs to be tweaked in my engine because I shouldn't have to use 3 batteries in one day.
Again, I want to reiterate that I know there are a lot of factors that affect battery life. I'm basing my opinion off of my past battery life throughout the day. It's probably not the kernel but how I have things setup. I'm just looking for some direction to extend the life a bit.
The biggest thing to do will be setcpu. Underclocking during screen off and using conservative governor will drastically improve battery life.
I haven't ever had good luck with the King kernels on my phone. Adrynaline's Custom kernel has worked awesome for me though. Took it off the charger at 11am yesterday, used it regularily and didn't charge until today at 3pm and still had 32% battery left. I use SetCPU for underclocking the phone when the screen is off and that seems to be the best way to save battery. I also don't have anything syncing throughout the day besides gmail accounts.
Ok, well I guess I will start with Set CPU. Sounds like it's worth the cash. Maybe I'll try a different kernel at the same time.
Thanks.
Setcpu is available for free to xda forum members. Do a bit of searching around and you'll find the link to the .apk

Setting CPU Max at 555 when screen is off took me from 9-14hours to 25-30hours.
Clearing battle stat seems important
I like interactive mode when it seems to be working right. I don't really know what Interactive mode is except that setcpu will show the CPU jumping to differant frequency instead of ramping up like with conservative.

I knew this and had forgotten. Fortunately, right before I dropped the cash the light bulb came on. I appreciate the heads up anyway.
Has anyone had luck with King's Kernels?
srt4mn, do you have a link to the kernel you are using?
The kernel comes with the Virtuous ROM and can be downloaded as a separate entity from ROM Manager in his area.

Ok, cool. I'll give it a shot. Is it tweaked to work just with the ROM or is it safe to install in Stock 2.2 as well?
Clambert11- Sounds as if you wrote your post for me. I haven't tried a custom rom or kernel yet but KK was the what I was considering. I do have setcpu running for a couple weeks now with underclocking for screen off, battery under 50%, and battery under 30%. Have noticed a modest improvement, mostly while phone is asleep at night. Not really much difference with day use. I carry a spare battery and charge at every opportunity.
I'll be watching this thread to see how the new kernel works for you. Sounds like it can be installed over the stock 2.2, yes? Does it require a full wipe?

I just installed Virtuous Custom Kernel - Version 2 without any issues. All I did was wipe the dalvik cache. I'm still not a firm believer that wiping the battery stats does anything. Now to setup SetCPU... I will report back in a couple days.
I tried bump charging with wiping battery stats a couple days ago. Didn't see any difference.
I be watching for your post. I'm happy with my rooted stock. This phone has more tricks than a $2000 hooker. The battery life is the big problem for me.
In regards to wiping battery stats, here's what I do and what seems to work good for me.
This is best to do when you have times when you wont need your phone to much.
1. Full charge phone while phone is on
2. Leave USB/power cord plugged in and turn power on phone off
3. Wait for the LED to change from orange to green while phone is off, this means you have a full charge.
4. Power on phone to get to recovery
5. Go to advanced > clear battery stats
6. Reboot phone
7. Pull out charge cable once your phone fully boots
8. Fully kill phone battery without plugging it in to USB or power the phone until it dies completely
9. Turn phone back on with charge plugged in after battery fully dies and phone shuts itself off, charge till 100%
I also keep my screen brightness down really low, this seems to help maintain good battery life too.
Those are good detailed directions. I had been wondering about when to plug and unplug. I also never fully discharged the battery. Li bats don't have memory issues so why fully discharge? Is the claim that this effects or resets something in the OS? If so where does this info come from? I wonder if someone pulled it out of his butt and it has become doctrine. Did you really see a difference? Did you try something else like lower screen brightness or setcpu at the same time?
i've been running bfs #4 on stock rooted 2.2 for about a week now. loaded the kernel through clockwork. it's working good for the most part and i've been keeping it mostly at stock speeds. however, i have noticed an occasional lag here and there (that i didn't noticed with the stock kernel) but no reboots or lock ups. i'm going to disable setcpu to see if that has any impact.

You pose a good question. I myself dont know the source of the battery stat information, and coming from apple products I've been conditioned to not asking questions, but I can claim from experience that wiping the battery stats help the OS more accurately report the battery percentage.
Since I recently reflashed a new rom and kernal, my discharge rates were rather wonky. The first 15% went pretty fast (as they usually do) since I didn't bump charge. Then it remained normal till 50% when it spiked till 20%, then remained normal till 15% where it took forever to diminish.
Wiping the battery stats will help this number be more consistent since (to me) it helps the OS learn about the battery in conjunction to the kernal being used. I'm assuming that this feature exists because we can swap batteries. Ever curious why apple locks their batteries in their devices? If I had to guess it would be to avoid this whole debacle. They only use one type of battery for each device and as such can report battery percentage more accurately. Plus its easier for them to design.
I've gotten sick of bump charging, so I reset my battery stats after charging to full and not bump charging. This should give me a more accurate drop in battery for the first 15%.
This is all information I've gathered through experience. I do not program these devices, so take it for what its worth. If any Li-ion engineers are around here, help!

Just an update. I've been running Virtuous for a few days now. I thought I installed Custom Kernel v2 but the System Settings say v1. I'll have to look into that. Kinda odd.
Anyway, I also am using SetCPU, which I think is responsible for most of the savings I have received. I've got the default scaling set to Conservative. Additionally, I have a Screen Off profile of 245 max / 245 min in Powersave and a Battery < 10% profile of 806 max / 245 min in Conservative.
I'm still playing the kernel / SetCPU game for the optimum settings but I've bought another 1.5 to 2 hours of life without feeling any real performance woes. I'm hard on the phone and use it a lot. That's what we have them for, right?
I had issues with King's Kernel #4. My phone, at times, would get real sluggish without even using SetCPU. I may try some of his older kernels or his next kernel (when it's released) to see how it behaves.
Just wanted to touch base. Thanks for the previous input and guidance.
Thanks for the update! I think my greatest savings so far has been from a screen off profile at about 460 max. I also have a 50% and a 30% profile.
I want to start off by saying that I am a NOOB at this rooting and custom ROM stuff. I was getting ready to toss this Vibrant in the trash when I said to read up on rooting, follow the steps provided, and install a custom rom. XDA you have saved my phone. I want to thank all of you who provide all of the support here. I installed Bionix 1.3 and I am in shock at this phone now. GPS actually works in real time. The phone is superfast as well. The only issue I have is that I can't surf the web or check FB without my battery draining like 3-5% in a ten minute span. Its crazy. Battery does well in standby mode. Extremely well as a matter of fact. not sure why it drains so quickly when I actually use it. I have wiped the battery stats and done the battery cycle. Overall still love the new look. Keep em coming.
Glad you found a new appreciation for your phone through xda. As we all did.
Your issue is with the kernal used in 1.3. The OverStock kernel. I've had the same issue. Great life in standby 1% an hour vs on a vanilla kernel + voodoo 3-4% an hour drain. Whenever I have my screen on battery drain is insane. 30% increase with the screen on vs how it norally would be. I would recommend flashing ka7/kb1 + voodoo kernel. That should fix it right up.
2 things
Check and make sure there are not background apps engaged when using those apps (sounds like there may be)
Also if you want you can buy a 4g battery it is 1650 mah that will help. But I use my phone alot and Battery really not an issue anymore.
check your background apps see what is not necessary to run.
i believe Team Whiskey removed the OverStock kernel and replaced it with the regualar VooDoo kernel in Bionix-V 1.3.1....
Maybe you should try that....
I'm using Categorically Worthless kernel on Binix-V 1.3.1 and my battery life is great
I must say THANKS as well. Tried rooting yesterday but something went wrong, was on official 2.2 and couldn't get 3e-2e fix to work. Nearly bricked phone. Searched xda. Now rooted with Bionix v (not tw version). Loving this speed. Battery isn't an issue since I have a spare w/charger.

Go to team whiskey's website,register,go to forums look for shory's files near top of page download kb1+voodoo kernal and flash it w/clockwork ...that will overwrite the over clock kernal and give you much better battery life or you can just flash bionix 1.3.1,personaly i like 1.3 and i just switch back and forth between kb1 and overstock it only takes about 20 seconds to flash
Bionix-V 1.3 w/a Splash of Color
Thanks for the response everyone. Will flashing the kernel wipe everything? I will be doing a backup though clockwork anyway. I was just wondering..... Thanks.

No, it will just overwrite the kernal files, so your sd card and all that should be fine, but go ahead and get in the habit of making backups regularly. Trust me, it can happen.
I've seen a couple reports of "horrible" drain when pairing virtuous fusion with faux 123's gb sense kernel.
Running latest clockwork recovery.
Well, I recently flashed the rom (1.1.8) and kernel (LV .0.0.7) and experienced a 400% longer charging time, 65% to 15% drain in about 3-4 hours of moderate use with conservative power settings. If this isn't weird enough, the screen was drinking 92% of this power and the screen was off 80% of the time, auto about 10% and all the way down for about 10%. The battery continued to go down quickly while the phone was idle/screen off. 1 widget, no live wallpaper. No risky apps.
Anyway, I'm going to try to reflash a little less crackily (lol, I just upgraded to this beast from a mt3g w/ cm6!). Also, I'm gonna clear batt stats if it continues to be awful. I will update accordingly. Lastly, I never had time to get setcpu installed.
I just wanted to see if anyone else has a confirmed fix or at least experienced similar issues that remain unresolved.
Thanks button in advance, xda!
you'll get more hits if you were to post this in the Kernel thread and the ROM thread you are referring to.
Yeah, I'm working my way up to those 10 posts.
On faux .7 gb kernel on virtuous fusion I would get 22 hours with heavy usage..and by heavy usage I mean, 5 hrs on screen time, numerous bluetooth phone calls, heavy texting, and xda all day...so I didn't have any battery drain problem
Edit: oh and widgets on all but 2 screens

Have you tried the .8 bfs lv kernel? Using that in conjunction with juice defender I get around 20+"hours" of heavy use, and that's at 1.3ghz oc. I haven't used .7 so I can't chime in on that issue, but that combo had made vf the first sense rom and the only sense rom I've used since rooting this phone.
And btw thanks for doing a legit thread to boost your post count instead of trolling random threads.
Btw if you do go the .8 bfs route, don't forget to flash the .2 first time kernel (i cried the first time I forgot to flash that then forgot to delete pd15.img off my root.. Talk about looping)

@marseillesw
I expected similar battery life from a kernel everyone was raving about (and faux seems impressively knowledgeable). I noticed a couple of people were popping up experiencing "the worst battery drain" and "terrible battery life" with GB Sense .7 UV and VF S3 specifically. I read several suggestions that it needed "time to settle" or a good "battery refreshing". However, I think these people were experiencing the same phenomenon as I did and it was out of control.
@Joker
After reading a bit about BFS (I see why we abbreviate it), I think I will give it a shot. It seems like the perfect kernel for the super interactive video enhancements of Sense 3. It's so pretty I find it hard to go back to my hulu/netflix/grooveshark(untested) capable RoyalGinger rom... Sigh...
Yeah, I didn't want to troll and then post on thread. XDA is teeming with info. However, you see a lot of people asking the same questions over and over again because (much love, don't get me wrong) noobs don't use thread search and the major mod/kernel threads get to be a solid 300 pgs of light to really heavy reading.
How does juice defender's tweaking compare to SetCPU's? I thought it was more like a task killer so I never tried it.
--------------------------------------------------
Going in, I knew it was either an issue with my phone or the flash process.
The good news is, some tinkering solved it. I wiped data/cache/dalvik in recovery, reflashed Virtuous Fusion 118, then let it settle. With the included kernel, I got about 14 hrs of life with 4 hrs of XDA, some talk/text, some customization, power management, etc... all OCed to 1.4GHz on smartass in use, 800MHz conservative screen off & @ <15%.
Next, I wiped CACHE/DALVIK (thus, not erasing setCPU) and flash the UV .7 kernel. Booted, let it settle. Reupped on my setcpu schedules and let it fly. It's been going pretty hard for about 13 hours and it just dropped below 40% life. So, I expect a cool 24-25. Wow.
The other difference i noted was that VF turns "fast boot" on which I had to turn off to access hboot (and recovery) again. It's possible that a true reboot of the phone would have saved me the reflashing trouble, I never tried.
The first time I flashed, I flashed the new kernel without first booting the rom w/ original kernel, I didn't have SetCPU (or any on-boot CPU controls), and I never rebooted with fast boot = off.
My next order of business is to nackup my current shiz and see if I can recreate the battery vortex . If I can, I'll pinpoint which of my sloppy moves was the cause.
3Qs:
A) Is flashing Rom and New Kernel with no reboot between a no no?
2) Is Elixir a reliable, power friendly tool for me to be using for reports? Is there a standard utility? So far, it seems pretty dank.
3) Does it take a lot of work to switch governors? Should I not be switching to conservative whenever it's idle?
Last couple times I flashed vf when evil was releasing daily updates I flashed the kernels before first boot and saw no issues what so ever. Normally I do let I cycle and load all flashes though.
As for juice defender, I just use it to manage my data use. Use set cpu to manage the cpu. Use conservative or power saver scheduler in my 4 hour stretch when I don't use my phone at all. Usually lose 1% battery during that period, then use heavy for the rest of the day. I usually have 70 80% left when I get home
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah I think that most people have serious battery drain because they have a rogue app running somewhere in the background that's just eating up resources, so is good to have an app like juice defender or watchdog, that can help pinpoint and identify the culprit...but it sounds like you got a pretty good handle on it now bro..so happy flashing

Hello, Just thought I would post my stats using the new Starburst rom with Pershoot's Kernel. Getting great speed and the system runs very smooth but it feels like my battery is draining quite abit faster...
I have setcpu set as "OnDemand" 300mhz-1400, 256mhz when screen is off. Is this battery drain normal? Ran for 4 hours idle while working, then during break i used my tablet for about 15 min, idle another 4 hours and then after work I only got about 2 1/2 hours of use from my tablet before getting the 15% battery warning (79% to 15% in two and a half hours).
Before installing any TW rom and using Pershoot's older (non-TW) kernel with same settings I was getting atleast 4 hours after having the system idle all day while i work (10 hrs), this was with about 40%+ battery left to spare. Please take a look at my stats and feel free to give any suggestions to help me get more battery
The performance now is very good, but before TW i was getting about 150 less points in quadrant (2950ish)with the extra battery life. Also i dont let any apps run wild while idle and have gps,bluetooth,wifi turned off during working hours.
Quadrant Score, Starburst TW + Pershoot's Kernel Aug/9/2011 builds (score:3100).

Battery Stats, notice the steep drop at the end? Thats the only time I really used my tablet... about 2 1/2 hours, web surfing (14 hours 35min total on battery).

why is your screen on and awake bar completely full if you only used it for the last 2:30?
In GENERAL
Screen on time 8-10 hours
Standby time ~100-500 hours depending on whats on/apps installed.
No idea why it says the screen was on, it was not... And I had the unit on but as far as i know there isn't a sleep option so the unit was awake but not being used.
If you know of a sleep option please let me know, thanks for your reply
Yeah I'm still testing this exact rom/kernel combo and there is something up with it.
On a reboot, does the battery level go up? Does it stay up for a little while then drop back down?
Also have you done a battery calibration? If so, how?
I'm just trying to narrow down what could be causing the problem. I'm no dev by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason I really want to find out what is causing this. It doesnt seem to affect all machines so in finding the simularities of those that are having this issue, we can squash this bug....
I was using this combo and my google music kept force closing.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
it should goto sleep automatically, and if screen was off it should be indicated as off. maybe something is wrong. im currently on pershoot's kernel as well and have had some issues with battery calibration (reporting bogus stats).
i think pershoot is looking into the issues on his thread.
im using 10.1-Wifi, Touchwiz UX (OTA, GT-P7510)
It's a kernel problem. Try going back to stock or an older version of pershoots.
It'll be fixed today from what I've read.
Late last night reinstalled Starburst with its original rom, after my 10 hour work day it still has 95% battery left (after some galaxy on fire 2 during my break), hella lot better than it was yesterday.
I will wait for Pershoot's revised kernel and test it out again. And thanks again for all the devs making custom roms and kernels! Much love to ya! <3

From what I've read, he claims there is no problem with the kernel, the problem is with the user. We havent calibrated the battery correctly according to pershoot himself. Problem is, I cant figure out the secret to a correct calibration process....

Flash Starburst or stock rom then charge your tablet 100%, once your battery is fully charged flash Pershoot's kernel.
I have not tried this myself but from what I have read it works, right now im happy with the performance on stock Starburst kernel, quadrant is at 2300 compared to Pershoot's 3100 but its running so smooth I cannot notice the difference. Going to wait for Pershoot's reworked kernel and then flash it, I gots to have my voodoo!
Update:
Today I reset my battery, and installed Pershoot's kernel. I'm still getting battery drain, used for 5 min this morning and its down to 80% (just browsing web)... Also my clock got stuck at around 5:08am and my alarm did not work this morning until i turned my screen on. After I installed Pershoots kernel alot of apps were acting up and not running properly but after a reboot my clock and apps started working as normal.
And I have to hit/hold the power button like 5 times to turn on the unit now. Going back to original Starburst for now.

I have not tried this myself but from what I have read it works, right now im happy with the performance on stock Starburst kernel, quadrant is at 2300 compared to Pershoot's 3100 but its running so smooth I cannot notice the difference. Going to wait for Pershoot's reworked kernel and then flash it, I gots to have my voodoo!
Update:
Today I reset my battery, and installed Pershoot's kernel. I'm still getting battery drain, used for 5 min this morning and its down to 80% (just browsing web)... Also my clock got stuck at around 5:08am and my alarm did not work this morning until i turned my screen on. After I installed Pershoots kernel alot of apps were acting up and not running properly but after a reboot my clock and apps started working as normal.

Darn. I was just about to give this a try. Oh well I'll try it anyways, nothing to lose. Just remember all the issues that may or may not be caused by the kernel is actually user error
Did anyone try the newest version of the kernel? Posted 19/aug/2011.

I'm using it now & it's a very good finish product. His last version gave me battery issues like no other. I believe he withdrew it after numerous complaints over battery issues.
Working great.
I always wipe Dalvik and Cache before flashing the new kernel.
