Nand builts battery drainage!

Hey guys.. I'm using Cotullas stock Desire HD nand rom... My battery last about a day with a few calls/sms...(Today i woke up and my phone was dead)
With SD card builts i have 2-3 days battery life with only a few calls/sms! Is there any other new NAND built that battery drainage is ok?

Since I've installed a NAND Android build, my phone lasts much longer than with SD card builds.

LOL! WTF? Maybe because you have a T-Mous or something?
What built do you have?????

I'm with Cotullas stock Desire HD too. And now, sometime I see 3ma in standby.
Till now I've never see less then 4ma. So, for me, it`s better with nand Android
I have autosync active... all the time.(weather, email, facebook...)
You can check programs... some program may be is draining a lot of power.
Did you test with clean ROM, without any installed programs?

OhhhhhK....... So now i understand that T-Mobile hd2's have better battery life with NAND builts! I am suing same Rom as you guys... I don't have any programs installed... at first battery looking just fine...But after one day my phone died. My maximum Phone's Up-time were 26Hours with this built!
Can you please tell me the widget you are using fo mA?

where can i find cotulla's desire hd based nand rom? couse i can see only desire based one.(my hd2 isn't tmous)(exept grauners)

there is a Desire HD rom, not made by cotulla, but Gauner, in the Android development section.

Guys, which software do you use to to check battery drain - I cannot see where the mA statistics are reported, only what is using my battery.... Thank you

which was ur sd build?i got just 4hr aftrr wake up.it is dead.

I've been going for 27hrs now on the same battery with over 40% still left! I have only made 1 call, but used it lots on wifi and SMS.
Awesome, the battery usage i'd say.

Is your wifi on ? i have a normal HD2 (Not Tmouse) and i had massive batt drain above 50mah sleep until i turned wifi completely off.
now i get 2-5mah sleep.

I have wifi on. Its in 3g in standby mode. Have u turned off wifi location setting. That helped alot in all builds.

Everyone got 60-70ma in standby after making a call with cotullas build.

[Q] Battery drain

I recently monitor my battery drain on MDJ Revolution HD 2.2 and want to check with you guys if they seems ok to you?
When phone has no applications running in background, freshly after boot it uses 3-5mA with peaks from time to time up to 150mA, this means that it consumes around 1% of battery per hour.
When phone has few applications running in background (more real scenario) it uses 5-7mA with peaks up to 250mA, this means it starts to consume around 2% of battery per hour.
I have never measured those values under WM but I can recall that phone used 5% over night (7hrs), it is less then NAND build I’m currently using.
Is this normal for Android to consume more power then WM?
Will battery format and delete of batterstat.bin help? If yes, can some help me with finding it? I am using Astro File Manager but if I go to folder /data/ it says it is empty, do I need to delete the file using terminal?
Thanks

I can agree with your findings: my drainage also seems to be like yours. But there's one strange thing I can't follow. After receiving a call or calling, my drainage increases from 3-5mA up to ~60mA in standby?! Does anyone know a solution therefor? I've already compared the processes running before and after calling and couldn't find any irregularities...

core droid evo v0.8

i have this problem on MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 1.8, too.
on older builds i had it, too.
tested a few things, but nothing worked for me.

as said above the drainage after calls is fixed in every new nand build. so end of thread i would say

I was on MDJ Revolution HD and haven’t got any issues with battery drain after calls.
Now moved to MDJ Super Light 1.0 which has lower battery drain then HD, around 3mA in standby almost all the time, regardless any applications running in background.
That is not bad but still higher than WM roms

As i said in my post. I have this problem with newest mdj build, too. So, for me this thread could be usefull

Oke, ill take it back , most new build have fixed the problem. Try the Rom I'm using, it has this problem fixed. And the Rom is 90% stock desire. I highly recommend it. Also, maybe you don't have the correct radio? But then again I'm not a pro just a guy who likes to read forums :3

With Clean Desire v.0.3.1 I have horrible battery life. It's like stuck at the 60mA, think it's that call bug or something similar. If you study usage history, cell standy is consuming like 33% of the battery, and phone inactive 32%, the display is at 2%
There is something rotten in the kernel. Turning of GPS, Wifi hell, what ever, does nothing to improve it.

That is why I stuck to the v0,2 most stable for me 3-5 ma with data on. And no problems as far worth noticing. Do make sure you have the best radio, I have 2.15.50, and seems to be best for all nands I've tried.

Can you confirm that there's no notification bug on v0.2? I switched from DFT because PRJ supposedly had it fixed but I'm using v0.3.1 and I still have the same thing, if a notification remains Unread it drains 60mA until it's Read --- is this not the case for v0.2?

i only know that the spike of 60ma after calls had been fixed. i didnt noticed the unread notification spike (cauze I have my phone on me 24/7) so i will read the notification within 3mins orso. so i have no issue with that.
but the battery drain is really good it this build. for me personal, no errors at all. only the unlockscreen sometimes freezes but then u wait 3 secs and its good again. but every hd2 is slightly different from eachother so you might have an other experience.
:3 but ill still recommend the prj clean rom

It's a great rom, it's DFT without the bloatware and I think purely Stock Roms are the best, unfortunately...I get the 60mA bug and it drives me crazy lol. I'm a extremely heavy user and the extended battery drain makes my days that much shorter =P

Best rom for battery life?

I have been bouncing around from rom to rom trying to figure out which has the best battery life, its too hard to tell. I know that htc sense roms killed my battery off faster, but no matter what it tends to die off much quicker than it did before I put android on it in the first place. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

This is a great rom for your battery.
But as in any rom you should think about what you wanna sync and when.
I use LauncherPro instead of Sense, and I think it better then Sense.

Thanks, so basically 2.2 rom's without sense? And does apps2sd or ext4 have any effect on battery life?

One suggestion for people that are concerned with battery life...
I recently did an experiment of sorts and turned off 3G on my phone. I found that I went from 1 day per full charge to 3 days per charge. I obviously didn't have updates from the email app, twitter, facebook etc., but I just turned 3G on every now and then and updated everything manually. I've since started leaving 3G off whenever I don't need it and generally get 2 days use out of a full charge.
Obviously this won't suit everyone, but if turning off 3G when you don't need it is an option for you then you will definitely experience a much better battery life!

For best battery, don't use Sense.
For best internal memory use ext4, this is better then apps2sd.
This does not realy effect your battey

I really love this build "DL DesireZ v3.3 final][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v2.3][Nand/SD/MAGLAR]"
can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913597
It's a NAND version but there is SD version as well.. (nand v. download link can be found on page 192 because the author didn't update the post yet)
For me it's perfect. The battery life lasts for a complete day. I listen to music about 2-2.5 hours, use internet for about 20-30 min a day and make a few calls. But I always turn internet off when I don't use it it really saves battery (i think it works for any build). Also 1 day I listened to music for 6 hours, used internet for +-30 mins and there was still 37%. I was really impressed!

Decent battery life
Currently I'm using- MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 and my way is to switch off data. I'm switching on whenever I need. With regular use of data( switch on/off) my battery last for almost three days.

Are you serious? I mean I haven't tried CyanogenMod 7 ROM but what I remember back to stock WM6.5 it was easily last for 1 day for me with normal use.. And now I have the same results on Android (desirez v3.3 rom), I'm very satisfied with that. However 3 days it's kind of hard to believe or I'm wrong? Anyway, how much do you use your phone during the day?

Task Killers, Juice Defender + Deep Sleep on 2.2+

Hi all,
I know this has been covered 100s of times and before you say it yes I did search it but I cannot find "the" definitive answer.
I am on 2.3.3 CM7.0.3 J022 and its awesome + v stable. Thanks to J, Z and everyone else involved
My only issue is the battery. I'm getting around 8 hrs. Although that is improving after installing Juice Defender. I am worried about "deep sleep of death" from it so left the governor disabled and just change the settings manually. Would I be OK to let JD sort it?
Also I installed the Task Manager that JD advises (process manager) but it appeared to be malfunctioning so I scrapped it.
My question is, is it worth re-installing it? Are there better ones? Are they a total waste of time on 2.2+?
Thanks in advance.

Install CPUSpy from the android market and check to see if your phone is getting into the deep sleep state at all. If it isn't then Juice Defender will be able to help a bit but you'll still burn through your battery at a fast rate.
If you don't have deep sleep occurring when the screen is blank, you could try disabling automatic time update in settings. That is what many of us have to do to get the phone to deep sleep when running a ROM using a custom kernel.

OK installed CPUspy - no deep sleep.
Turned off auto time setting - still no deep sleep.
I have been switching the CPU myself from 998 when it use to 245 when not, this does help but top of battery useage is always mobile standby. That's signal right?
Over the past 2 days JD has seemed to help, it reckons it has doubled the battery life but I think that its blowing its own trumpet a bit there.

Juice Defender (with the Dinc 2)
Hi guys! New registered user here! I got a Dinc2! First off, thank you all for the advice and recommendations on how we can pump up the performance of our Droid Smart-phones!!
I am using "Battery Indicator" app for my Incredible 2 and for some odd reason this app in itself has saved some of my battery life! Now that JUICE DEFENDER worked out some kinks and has a full version for free (Version 3.5.6)....I am seeing that it does help your battery life!!! Today I am doing a complete test with Juice Defender running (on the default setting J.D. came with) I will absolutely make sure that I UPDATE everyone on here with how Juice Defender worked for me.
Also if anyone has some customized settings for their Juice Defender for the HTC Dinc2, I would really appreciate it! This is my first smart-phone so I am kind of new to all this but I have been doing some in-depth research for the last 2-3 weeks. Very happy to find a website like this, so I can keep up with everyone and what is new, and what Apps can be counter-productive to the performance of our phones.

Did you use a JD preset?
Did you download JD beta?
Reason I ask is I have none of those issues and as it turns out CM7.0.3 has all the features that JD offers. JD just does it all in 1 neat package.

They are only good when U aren't rooted. But since I'm rooted there are better apps, like AutoKiller en SetCPU to save battery... And they work MUCH better and won't do any harm.

and I got 84% @ 3 hours 46min. I expected 5hrs.
Im tryin to find out what the hell is draining my battery:
Watchdog app? yahoo messenger? rogue apps? (check out pics below!)
Does anybody have a suggestion for looking for the rogue apps besides watchdog lite? or is that the best one.
Any suggestion for tweaking settings? Ive included pics of whats running

Battery optimizing. Do these numbers look right?
What are optimal settings?
Check out current settings in pics along with stats.

1. looks normal, cell standby is usually the highest on MIUI. how long was your display on?
2. your OC settings look a little high for everyday use. I would try to OC lower and use the superbad governor. my settings are 1017/122 superbad and everything runs smoothly
3. looks like messaging and settings are taking up some memory, try killing those with the task killer. hold down the home button and a window will pop up, on the bottom there is "task killer"
4. looks normal with your OC settings
*edit* Battery Calibration app from the market also works really well, give it a shot. charge your phone til its 100%, and leave it plugged into the charger. run the app, calibrate your battery, then unplug and youre done

Thanks! Ill definitely make those adjustments and post results in a similar time frame. I didnt know I had a built in task killer ... dam i just freed 142MB! woohoo!
oh and what the heck is this? (in pic)

wow lol Ive never seen that before probably just give it a few days for your battery to even things out and settle in. it said your battery was in use for 3 seconds so just wait

LOL battery consumed 15% in half the time than previous. I DL'd battery calibrator, lowered setcpu to 1.2ghz w/onDemand. I wonder what is involved with android systems.

if you tap on "Android System" itll show a list of all the apps and things associated, from there you can pinpoint on what is using up your battery and just kill that app. I also noticed that youre on MIUI and you have a screenshot app...you know that function is already built into MIUI, just hold volume down then tap the menu button. theres a list of all kinds of neat little button quirks in the OP of the thread

Dammit man definitely "beats" makin funnny shakin gestures ... thanks again.

Well, here is my 2 cents.
Keep i'm mind that I had pandora running continuously for almost 5 hours. I unplugged my phone at 11 am. It has been running for almost 13.hours..
I have noticed that if my phone is hooked to a wifi signal, the battery last easy 3 times more.
3 days ago I had it running for 14.hours and it was still at 74%, of course, very little use, since I was a working all day
Second image you can see that I have been keeping the screen on for 3 hours

Thanks guys ...
So today I jus setcpu!
Here is the adjustment and activities I did today in regards to battery usage:
Set CPU @ 1.1ghz smartass (same performance)
unplugged for 5hrs
4hrs using data: yahoo messenger, internet browse,gtalk
used ubermusic in traffic (bumpin "ni**as in paris" on repeat LOL)
1hr on wifi (unless wifi was automatically turned on at the mall)
no calls (TY columbus day)
Tried to take a pic at 85% to keep it consistant as the first pic. LOL
Ill be traveling this weekend so im gonna put the GPS to work.
I used GPS the other day @ 1.6ghz and the latency was so minimal
with reroutes being spoken after maybe 200-500 ft of a turn not taken.

DANCCS what Rom do you use?

O use MIUI.us .
I'm going to post you the progress during the day today.
I'm unplugged the phone at 9 am, right now is 11:22pm and I still have 61%
As you can see I have been all day hooked to a wifi. If i'm not in a wifi, I would be at 20% I think
Btw, my display says 48 min , so you can see that I didn't use my phone that much, I have been.working all day

As general information, what I did was:
Wipe everything
Install ROM
Factory reset
Install my basic apps
Drain the battery to zero
Charge it all the way to 100%
Calibrate it with the app on the market
let the battery die again til zero
Charge it again til 100%
After the second day, it was going.better
Fyi, if I am constantly on non wifi networks, it goes down faster.
And i'm using panache radio
Hope it works for you

The person before you recommended that tactic ... and I have done so to help with the result ive got.
Here is my next hurdle:
CELL STANDBY
I believe CM7 or RoyalGinger had an option to manipulate cell standby while on wifi networks. Since im not using MIUI ill be researching this to get rid of this issue.
Thanks to the replies and xda this is the longest ive had my phone unplugged @
21 hrs (i had to plug my phone via usb for 2min to get something from my SD card cause I was impatient to figure out how to send it wirelessly, so no screenshot)

to help with the Cell Standby, while connected to wifi, set your mobile network to 2G/GSM only in the mobile network settings. prevents your phone from trying to connect to 3G/4G which saves battery as well

Thanks man! Ill do that. Are you running sense 3.5?

no problem bro. yep, running TDJ's Darkside Runny v1.5.1 and its the best Sense build Ive ever flashed. along with the blissmod and quicklaunch widget, its just bad ass. I was a religious MIUI user, but this rom just drew me in. of course the battery life is shorter on Sense builds due to the UI and all the eye candy and bloat, but after 19+ hours average on a full charge, Im not complaining one bit

Do you get commission selling sense roms ? LOL dammit MAN!
i would switch up if i could get 19hrs on sense 3.5. I like its UI interaction (ie text message has address and I can highlight and go straight to navigation)
My issue aside from battery is the widgets not loading correctly on sense 3.5. Do you get that?
With all that eye candy, bloat, etc What do you run your processor at? is it still 1012max superbad?

nah, never had any problems with the widgets. everything works for me as it should. yeah Im still running 1017/122 superbad on Sense as well, no problems at all and everything is still smooth. I dont play games on my phaone, so I mainly browse the net, text, call, listen to music, etc...sync only when needed and OC when needed also.

In the next days I will try the new battery that I bought, it.us a 1700 capacity.
Let's see how it goes . And tomorrow I will usable the wifi , you are going to see the big difference
