Rom with best battery life - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'v been searching for this topic, and cannot find anything. Hows your battery life on this phone and how do you make it better? I heard CM7 is amazing, but I love Sense to much to give it up.

Try ice glacier I just started running it and its just like sense without the bloat, and with some optimizations. I get great battery life with ice glacier paired with SetCPU.

IGv1.1.6 seems much more stable and using less battery than IGv1.1.5. Haven't setup SetCPU yet as I am just cURLing close to 8.1gb apk.lib archive. Let me be finish ill thoroughly test it, but seems better than before.

CM7 IS amazing, lol. 1d 10h 10m on battery so far. I know you like sense, but I'd give it a try. I'll post a screenie (with graph) when I get home.

I can go about 2 days without a charge with regular use on cm7 using setcpu with just the screen off profile.

Yeah, that'll be my next thing to set up, I haven't even downloaded setcpu this time around. Very impressed with getting this much life out of it though, when compared to stock barely getting me through the workday.

CM7 = CyanogenMod 7 (AOSP2.3.1/Gingerbread) ATM its still under alpha and many things needs to be worked out as I use to flash it nightly before IGv1.1.6 its still under RC so wait for the SR if you want it to make it your own stable rom.

my experience so far..
MIUI i get 1.5 days on a single full charge....
evil's desire hd rom id get about .5 days on single full charge, needed a charger.
both had setcpu with just the screen off profile and set to 1.5 ghz oc...
im sure CM7 has pretty good battery life.

BTW for those of you who is saying you get this and that show me screenshot of your awake time don't matter about what you get on uptime.

Battery was at 56% when I shot the image below. Phone is stock and unrooted. It's my wife's, mine doesn't last as long since I'm always playing with it. I'll root mine (maybe) in the future when I get sick of all the bloat (already there).

You saying you OCed 1.7GHz and ran for 16hours? LOL no way man and why do you need 1.7ghz? ATM my SetCPU scale profile for mCPU is max: 1.6ghz/avg: 1ghz/idle: 768mhz and I get around let say 16-17hours. But no way are you getting 16hours running it at 1.7GHZ native unless thats your max on demand or something.

XDA app took 2% of your battery... I love it!

I would also have to vote for CM7. I've tried every other rom and CM7 is best on battery and its also the BEST ROM out there all around!

I have a combination of the stock rom from t mobile and Gr8gorilla I just finished the mod yesterday and so far so good on the battery life.

I've always gotten the best battery life with iced glacier.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Ice glacier v1.1.6 with granks kernel v.05 always gave me around 18 hours, and I'm on it pretty good. I'm on CM7 build #16 and its giving me the same if not better than the glacier setup. I use setCPU on both.

i'm on CM7#19 and i am getting good hour usage. i have BT and GPS on always and i'm still getting like 12-15 hours per on good use. along with crappy signal at home so i'm happy.

My best combination so far is CM7 RC1 with the Smartass kernel from Faux123. Governor set to Smartass...
I usually get over 24 hours with moderate usage everyday!
If you check the attached picture, you'll see that I got like 1 day and a few hours on that charge! Then I was learning how to take a snapshot of the screen and the phone was charging in the mean time...
but after that 1 day and 4 hours or so, I still had around 29-30% battery left...
how did you take that snapshot of your screen?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of "lean and mean" so I use Screen Shot a lot (by GikSoft). If there was an icon in the Notif area for ShootMe, it looks like it's gone now; and I don't see an option to enable/disable it in ShootMe.
Someone might laugh at it, but I went ahead and started a "How To Take A Screenshot" thread for our forum...

It's such a simple thing to do, but so many people ask how to do it. I figured a separate thread would help keep other threads from filling up.

Is there any advantage to setting it to underclock to 368 instead of 245? I would think setting it to 245 would conserve even more battery life...?
No disadvantage other than when the CPU ramps back up from the screen being off. I just wait about 1 second before unlocking my screen, but I'm a little OCD about my device performing as smooth as glass. Even though I know WHY it's a little slow when ramping back up, I just don't like to "feel" it go slowly.
I've been watching Faux's thread and I really dig what he's doing, how transparent he's being, etc. The performance coming from screen-off to screen-on is supposed to be a smoother with that kernel and what he's done to it.
I love my ROM and the way my device performs, so I sort of don't want to change a good thing. That being said, we all know why we got into Android in the first place.

- No setCPU, but kernel has one built in.
- No bump charging.
- Light use, I purposely tried to not use it too much just because I was curious how long it could make it (like if I were ever stuck somewhere without a charger, knowing how long my phone could last if I did not constantly stay on it).
~ 1.5 hours of 3G pandora
~45 mins of texting
~30 mins phone calls
~20 minutes of 'My Tracks' app
~15 mins GPS navigation
~10 mins angry birds (tehehe, couldn't resist)
3G, GPS and location were ON entire time.
Thought I'd share
since skyraider is a sense rom you can use that kernel?
i thought incredikernal was AOSP?
edit:
i'm retarded.
was thinking of the new incredikernal. fail on my part!
invisiblek is AOSP, incredikernel is Sense
(actually chad aka incredikernel is starting to develop some new GingerBread AOSP kernels)
Wanted to subscribe, forgot to!
To what do you attribute the most battery life to?
o 2150 mah battery?
o Kernel?
o Skyraider?

2150mAh definitely, Kernel next and Skyraider after that. I saw noticeable improvements when I used Sky Raider over stock, and used chad's incredikenel over stock so I feel they have significant improvements on battery life for sure.
With screen off I'll get about 1.5 hours per %, with screen on and doing things it's completely different.
Much of this test was to see how long it would last with screen off and with those services (like 3G) running.
Very impressive. Don't think I can go over 24 hours with stock battery, CM7 and incredikernel.
I think I can get 24 hours, with reasonable use. I use juice defender which REALLY helps a lot - at least in my life.

the 2150 makes the phone so ugly and disfigured I couldnt use it. I am running SR3.5 but I get great batt life with Lou #8 kernel and the 1800mah Inc/Evo batt.
Unfortunately battery problems will be around for a while, did you hear the rumors about the T-bolt batt? LOL, 3 totals hours on a full charge! These "phones" or whatever you want to call them are so powerful and do so many different things its hard to design a strong battery at that size. Phone management is crucial.
thats impressive, im still using my stock battery and I'm tired of worrying about it dying and bump charging

I too got some crazy long battery life on Skyraider 3.5. Only reason I left was because ihtfp is no longer supporting them. When I tried MIUI for the 3rd time I really got into it (using LP) but I haven't been able to reproduce that awesome battery life I had on SR... Yet, at least.
I also dearly miss the Awake Time stat. All aosp roms should have that.

I got my case from here:

And about the thunderbolt only lasting 3 hours?

I thought HTC would have learned from the incredible that they seriously need to upgrade the battery. I hope they do a full redesign where they stick just a long battery down the entire back of the phone so people don't have to get extended batteries that bulge out.

Thats a rumor about the TB, supposedly it has a more energy efficient processor compared to our inc so it will last longer with the smaller battery. Maybe on 4g it lasts on 3 hours but no way with normal use

Best battery life ROM?

I'm trying to deal with cm7 but little things are killing me (battery life stinks even with extended battery, I watch my battery fall with the screen on, it's good when it's not though. Constant problems with my lock screen freezing, etc). I'd like to find a rom thats 100% stable, aosp is preferred, but not a must. Any recommendations?

I alway found CM6 and Miui 2.2 roms to give great battery. Not sure if you were looking to stay with gingerbread though...
Cm7 just isn't as good as cm6 that's all I will say. My battery life on cm7 was not so great. I switched to miui for the first time yesterday and my 10hrs turned into 15hrs already with 50% left. Usually in about 10hrs my cm7 is on about 10% left. I actually have a pic to prove it lol.

With CM7, I usually get 12 hours to 50%, 18-20 hrs to 20%. If your battery life is that bad, I would try calibrating that battery and checking for wakelocks.
Also, try decks gingerbread which is based on CM7, but gets better battery life. You can find it under the thread "yet another AOSP ginger ROM."

I'm all about Tiamat
Destroyer v 2 with savage zen kernal and I can make it two full days with mild-moderate use. Heavy use will still make it all day. By far this is the best battery life I've gotten.
When I switched to Tiamat I started getting great battery life on CM7. I can get 18+ hours on it, easy.
can you still use CM7 themes with decks?
I get 15 hours with cm7 SZ kernel with moderate use
When I check the batt stats in settings, "phone standby " always has over 50% someone knows why?
This has been looking good and it was just updated this morning with no issues..

Buy 5 batteries then you will never be out of power.
CM7 (every nightly) and latest Tiamat. I leave BT and WIFI on always, without *trying* to preserve battery, and I easily last from 7AM to 7PM with no charging... running pandora for at least an hour in the morning off WIFI, and some in-car BT Pandora streaming... no 4G use, and tons and tons of texts and internet browsing. Same use on other kernels would have killed my phone in 4 hours easily. I used to be able to watch the battery indicator drop. Sense ROMS were pretty bad too.
Whats wakelocks?
Deck's + Tiamat = win
http://imgur.com/LE54H.png
I suggest finding a kernal for your rom. Tiamat is a great choice.
Also, are you coming from sense? If so, resetting your battery stats might help.
I've had great luck with Vaelpak 3.2 rc1 and rc2, both with there stock kernel and 4.3.2 CFS SBC HAVS MORE. I mainly use my phone for texting and Facebook. On a typical day of moderate texting, Facebook and a few hours of calls I'm getting roughly 16 hours. If I use juicedefender and setcpu I can stretch it out even more. Vaelpak 3.2 is a non-sense rom and is very stable. Out of 4 or 5 roms that I have used this is the most complete and full Rom were everything works. Been using vaelpak for over a month now and haven't found anything better...
Evo 4g
Vaelpak 3.2 RC2
This has been my biggest struggle so far as well. Finding a rom that is both useful and does not kill my battery...I just rooted last weekend and so far have tried at least 5 roms looking for the one that I really get along with and like the looks of, etc. All I cal say so far about roms and such is trial and error...keep flashing till you find one that fits.

Well, your issue isn't the Evo itself, it's your personal phone.
I too had a bad battery. Use or no use it lasted for 6 hours max. Said f it! Got extended battery. NOW its a manly man's phone! It's got some girth! Feels like a brick lol. But I'm also a power user. Even so, 17 hours of use on first full charge. Definitely a top mod in my book.

Until gingersense can figure out how to get the battery life froyo sense had it wont be back on my Evo anytime soon. I lost a t9 dialer going to Aosp...the theme engine makes up for that as mixer looks nice.
No kernel, voltage modification, or ROM is going to change the fact that your battery is bad.
I'm going with what Matty said as you all don't know what I've gone through with this phone. I've gotten all of the mods I was supposed to. I did everything possible I really think it's just a bad battery

Did this not stand out to anyone else?
How on the world do you under volt that much A....
And 2 why would you set your min voltage so freaking high? Use, 245 or 128, I am under clocked to 128 614, which you hold yours constantly above that...
And E, I assume you are a power user. What is am average day like?

Non-SBC kernel.
Tiamat 4.07 with -75mv lower voltage.
Admittedly, I've been using my phone constantly for the past three hours.
Before that, I was at 70%.
Stock battery.

Best Possile Battery Build

Alright guys, ive been hearing different things.. people are getting an upwards of 9 hours of battery from like using texting and that sort of stuff.. stock kernel and rom will give you 5 or 6.. Ive heard some people get 18 hours of use from texting and what not..
Basicly i just want to learn to see what different kernels and set up everyones using and to see how many up hours (like a text or 2 every minute or 2), they get out of it.
Really curious to discover new android things especially battery power with a 4.3 inch screen
Im running Chopsuey kernel with nocturnal shooter sense 3.0 rom and sitting at 768max 245minimum
(yes i made a slight topic typo D=.....)
ICS / CM7 ROM
Kernel : Tiamaat 4.1
undervolted -100mv, 825mv floor
Smartassv2 governor
Battery life: 2 days+
nice to hear you get such good battery life.. i get about 6 or 7 hours of medium usage
I get abysmal battery with every kernel except poonsense for whatever reason. Lasts me all day with texting web phone calls constantly. Seems like setcpu actually makes my battery die quicker

Did you do a battery calibration? If so not download free battery calibrator, charge you phone too 100% the which is I think its 4200mah. Install setcpu? Change different governed see what works with your phone. I recommand to try different kernel see what works.

I never believe anyone's claim for 2 days of battery life on a battery of any smartphone.
The most I ever got was at least 8 hours under moderate use with about 40% to spare at the end of the day.
This was achieved using a combination of a froyo rom (myn's twopointtwo) with nets 4.3.4 havs-cfs-more-sbc kernel under-clocked with set cpu and juice defender toggling my mobile data on/off whenever it was needed.
Highest I've personally seen is 18 hours of high use

Not sure if you were asking me or teh, he would be the guy to explain undervolting. I don't use any apps or scripts to uv. Just the setup I posted. Proper battery calibration will probably do the most for improving battery life though.
Btw, I just realized those screenies were not from the Xplod rom. I believe they were from the TN stock, and I would of been running the Chopsuey kernel. Same CPU/governor settings tho.
