Does anyone know? My guess is MCR or Enom... but I can't be positive. Anyone?
Im waiting for the next release of cm, if it wont improve my battery life i am going to systematically try out all the other mods to see which one gives me the most juice.
Ive had my best battery from Kings Nexus rom. Its undervolted and has easily been the best battery one.

Thanks... I'll be using the AVS kernel, so I'm more concerned with ROM (not kernel) performance...
EDIT: Also - I can't use Desire because of Bluetooth.

For me its Alpha r20 - MoDaCo Custom ROM Desire Port this rom is great or me r21 was not as good for battery life i dont know why wish i did
From worst to best:
-CM
-Enom
-Desire
Hmm... I WISH I could go to Desire but I NEED Bluetooth. What about regular MCR?

Can you put this in context though? What was your battery life like previously? What ROMs have you used? What kernel are you using? Where can you even get 5.0.6?
Yeah battery life has to be tested to a standard method one good way to test would be to play a movie with the volume at Max with high brightness or transferring one big file over wifi for a period of time and see how fast it drains. This will act as a stress test and will bring comparisons a lot faster and more efficiently.

Doing what exactly? phone usage?
Which ROM gives the best battery... period?

The one that doesn't allow you to turn on the phone. Battery lasts for weeks!
In all seriousness, using stock rom gives me a very good battery life now, lasting more than a day with almost everything on, 2 push emails, full brightness and all 3G.
CM 5.0.6 T2. so far ive got a full day of usage out of this rom with 3G all day. setcpu profiles enable. Gtalk, Twitter, Emailing. 5 or more phone calls 15 min each. Two app downloads from market.
But if i was just going to play and show off i had use Enom rom and its far by the best. for battery life. CM 5.0.5 i didnt get great battery life. i could leave my phone over night 100% and wake up to it on 80%-70% or so. with nothing in the background
An undervolted CM 5 may give you a better battery life...
Waiting for 5.0.6...
Cyanogen 5.0.6 is far and away the best ROM I've used, power wise.
Up to 5.0.5.4 I was seriously considering getting rid of my N1, as the battery would lose 80% in less than 10 hours, just sitting on standby combined with less than an hour's worth of web browsing.
5.0.6 is much better, and I'm still showing 50% after 16 hours.
Still not a patch on my old Nokia 5800, which went 3 days at a time on a single charge, but at least I have the confidence to actually use my N1 now...
I'm sorry I call BS on anyone who claims they use their phone AND get more than a day battery life. Until someone is willing to give me a Nandroid backup to restore to my phone to see what it is that is running and prove that their programs and background processes make for a 20+ hr battery, I don't buy it.
I'm off the charger since 8am and am down to 91%... it is ridiculous. I'm on an AVS kernel and Enom with not much running in the background.

Is that aimed at me?
I have a Facebook widget, along with the standard news and weather widget running, and email (NOT the Google mail app) set to refresh every 15 minutes.
I use the browser (on 3G/HSDPA) for up to an hour, here and there, and about the same on wi-fi at home.
GPS is always on, Wi-Fi and bluetooth only on when required.
The Last.fm app also gets used for up to an hour, although not every day.
Couple this with the odd phone call and text message.
The above would see my battery down to less than 20% after about 10 hours, and was really annoying.
The past few days, when I went to bed the battery was hovering around the 50% mark - although I've not used Last.fm this week.
Of course, this may not meet YOUR definition of phone usage, but it certainly isn't BS...

Hungry Man ~
Lately I've been running the latest update of the same ROM (Nonsensikal Froyo - now 15.2) without any CPU apps (no o/c'ing through script either), no autokiller, no battery tweaks (just Juice Plotter) only 1 widget (Fancy Widget Pro), JIT enabled, VM heap @32, compcache @18 (default) and depending on which app I look at, TiB or RE, I have +/-110mb of free RAM, very minimal apps. Also, I upgraded to CFSv9. I even bought a Seidio Innocell 1750mh extended life battery. I recalibrate my battery after flashes ....
Oh yeah, a little more info, I am not a power user, just an average user with poor to ok reception, I tend to use wireless at my house b/c reception out here in the woods ain't good, but turn it off when not needed. I use airplane mode during sleeping hours as well. The max of my battery usage is Display, then And OS.
Ok, now the question ..... If I don't use airplane mode, I get maaaaaay-be 6-8 hours of average phone usage, usually less !!
What finally broke me to PM you now is that (i recently put numbers on my battery icon) while typing a text message earlier (a few minutes tops, not on wireless) I watched my battery click down from 50 to 48 !!!
When I charge my phone full & I easily lose 10% in half an hour (I've tried this with SetCPU, JD, CBT, Super Power, CPUBoost Lite - I think you get the gist) ... and not including airplane mode, I NEVER get more than 6-8 hours of battery life !!!
Is there any knowledge that you can give me on this issue or have I pretty much exhausted my options ? I am this PM short of resigning to crappy battery life
Many Thanks for your time ~
Matt

What does the phone/Spare Parts say is using all the battery? Have you tried flashing and then using the phone without installing apps (other than the essentials?) Are you leaving the phone idle, screen off, and noticing the same big drop?
You could try going to stock for a bit to see if it improves...or trying a different ROM. Maybe you have a dud battery?
Edit: Sorry, you may have meant this to be directed at someone specifically.
Just an observation. If you're not using anything to overclock the phone maybe the battery life would be better if you at least underclock it. I suggest Conap's CPUBoost Lite, free on the market and here. Just set the minimum frequency to 245760 (my suggestion), and I currently have the screen off Minimum to 19200 and the screen off Maximum to 480000.
Also, I used to use Juice Plotter. I theorized that maybe Juice Plotter wasn't great for my battery itself.

I noticed the same thing when I used Juice Plotter. I got significantly less battery life when i had it. Try deleting Juice Plotter and see if you get more life out of your battery.
well you've noted your in a poor coverage area, and that is your problem, nothing can completely fix other than moving, but you may want to research flashing a new radio, becareful and check your md5 hash sums

Actually, the Verizon Network Extender can definitely help without moving. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFemtocell
It's $250, but probably a lot cheaper than moving, and it should help with battery life. It does with me - I get 24-32 hours on a 1750 battery, with WiFi on all of the time (I have the old, non-3G extender.)
I'm running Tazz Froyo and get a minimum of 24 hrs on stock battery. I would try changing roms.
Battery life on my eris was never good, that's why you buy a extended battery. I have the biggest one that they have on amazon and my battery can last for five days with average use

so my battery has been draining really fast too, but my question is does the battery recalibration work? some people have said their battery drops even faster but is that only the first time?
PS. ive been on xtrrom for awhile now (like a month and a half) and it just started dropping. spare parts says android system is greater than the rest, if that helps

Yes, it works if you do it propely. Charge phone to 100%, boot into recovery, wipe battery stats, reboot phone. Use your phone as normal until the battery is fully discharged and it shuts the phone off. I sometimes try to turn it back on also just to make sure it is all the way dead. Plug your phone in to charge it, walk away, don't touch it until it is 100% charged. Turn your phone on and use it as normal. It sometimes will take a few times charging it to see a difference. If I missed anything or mistyped anything some one correct me please lol
Hi! I wanted to know if you guys have a problem with the battery life on SwiftDroid RC5. I have a poor battery life and therefore big battery problems.
i had mine and bought a new batt no probs after that
Yes, I do. Since RC4 and RC5 I have very poor battery life. Before it was enough to charge once every other day, now I have to do it daily.
Actually after installing RC5 it was a disaster as battery didn't keep even 24 hours but after recalibration it's better. But even then during the course of the day while doing basically nothing (say, sending and receiving 3 or 4 sms) it goes down from 99% to 40%.
Edit: I should mention that I overclocked to 800MHz, but I used to do it before RC4.

Same here. I'm moving on Cyanogenmod 6.
yeah swiftdroid is a real battery drainer but
on swiftdroid on average my battery lasted 2 days..
but still i use cyan6!!
good in battery and performance!!
Same here. Experiencing battery problems on SwiftDroid aswell. Like mentioned above the battery drains even when doing nothing. Experience this on basically any mod built on SwifDroid ofcourse. Changed to EleganceSwift, waiting for mike to release AOSP with Bluetooth-free radio ;-)
There's something more to it.
Recently I was playing a bit with my phone, installed couple of applications and then suddenly I realized that battery doesn't drain as fast as it used to. One thing I noted is that for example Videos application doesn't reside in memory anymore. I'm not saying this one was the sole battery hog but I'm starting to suspect that those cases of battery going down very fast may be related to some misbehaving app or apps and not necessarily be Gingerbread's fault.
If that's the case, the solution would be, I imagine, to trim system preferences to have such apps killed fast not to let them stay active.
using ASIS atm, but when I was using RC5 I didn't notice much faster draining. Still, it depends how many apps are running on your device and did you overclock it? I used to have min 250MHz, max 600MHz and it was pretty fine with texting, multiple apps running and music. Now with min 825MHz/max 825MHz it's draining faster ofc
Well,I remember a day when i update to SwiftDroid RC5, the batter drains and there isnt any app running in background after that i changed to a another rom.
btw fdespotovski, Multiverse is my favorite rom, in fact, i wrote on the offcial blog but i have problems with the RC3, statusbar sound widget doesnt work properly for now im on RC2

I'm not using ASIS, still at RC5, and what I reported is that both RC5 and RC4 drain battery much faster than earlier versions. Assuming ASIS is just cosmetic change to RC5 it doesn't surprise me you didn't notice any difference. And again, I do overclock to 800MHz and I do it since M5 if memory serves me well. I know principles of overclocking and I know, and accept, drawbacks that come with it. But when at the same clock RC3 can live two days or more while sometimes RC5 barely manages only one then I suspect something is not right.
I tried to check which applications are responsible for battery drain but system report is not helping when telling that 98% took Android system, 2% cell standby and 2% phone idle.
Sorry for necroposting but I didn't want to litter forum with new thread and the problem itself hasn't go away.
I'm still using SwiftDroid v2.0 RC5 and until recently I still had problem of battery barely keeping one day: whole night on the charger and after moderate to no use during the day on the evening it was almost drained.
Recently I installed one more application (rather unrelated, I'd need really solid proof that CPU Spy directly improves energy usage) and after that the battery easily keeps for two days. Which brings back the theory I have that the short battery life is not necessarily caused by Android itself but by some applications staying in memory and not sleeping properly. If so, installing extra app may help just for this reason that it having higher priority will swap out those misbehaving ones.
Thus I propose little hunt, if anyone's interested. I'd like to stay focused on v2.0 RC5 (maybe RC4/ASIS if you believe the difference is not too big). I need reported both GOOD and BAD battery life. In either case please write down all apps currently in memory (you can skip those you have installed, I'm mostly interested in what comes from ROM). And don't forget to mention which actual version do you use and whether it's good or bad case.
Given some meaningful data I hope to isolate which apps cause excessive battery drainage. I'm not sure what to do with that information next but I think it would be good start anyway.
To make said start, here's what I have:
SwiftDroid 2.0 RC5 / GOOD battery
- DSP Manager
- Usage Timelines Free
- Doit.im
- K-9 Mail
- Auto Memory Manager
- Superuser
- Settings
- TM World Clock
- Go launcher EX (doesn't report itself as staying in memory but I suppose it has to be running somewhere)
custom roms...with gingerbread will definately have faster battery usage!! u cant help it

Guys help please, I have a battery/charging problem after installing RC5, this is my first ever custom ROM, it worked great yesterday, but after charging it over night I'm stuck at 99% it won't go up nor down, the phone won't charge and it won't even connect to PC via USB I tried turning it off completely and then plugged in the charger but it just booted up (is it supposed to do that this is my first android?) and that was it. Everything else works fine, wifi etc.... Is there a way to fix this ? I can't transfer a new custom rom to the sd when it won't connect to the PC

the battery stuck at 99 % is a often coming bug and i don't know any solutions mine goes to 97 % ...
ehen phone is shut down and you plug the charger its normal that its booting(because of fastboot)

thanks ...............
I also have a battery problem... i have installed this ROM 3 days ago, and now i can't charge my battery over 45-55%. Phone was charging all night long, and batter lasted for a day and a half, but its annoying... btw, what now, do I delete battstats now at 55%, when i can not charge phone to 100%?
I have LG GT540 with android 2.3.4 cyanogen and the battery is just getting drain to fast ( its new battery) .when i go to battery use i saids that android system use 99-100% of battery waht its not normal ( my friend has about 7-8% use) and she last for 1-1.5 hours with normal work ,in idle about 4 hours till battery drops dead. Phone is getting to hot , i tryed to put others 2.3.7 and its same again what sholud i do.
solution i tryed: wipe battery stats -didnt help
going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 -didn help
PM me to see pic cuz i am new here so i cant post outside links at the moment.
Did you wipe data when updating to 2.3.7? If not, try it (maybe also without restoring stuff from backup, if wiping+restore does not help)
yes i always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache so tahts not issue,can i format SD card is she a problem maybe?
yeah same for me i am also using a rather new battery
The battery level stays on some percentages longer than others.

First of all swiftdroids battery is only supposed to last 1 day.. so use a differnet rom. Secondly check that ur CPU is on ondemand not performance .. cause sometimes u get the rom like that.

Hi
I wanted to thank for Zoe Rom on its thread, but i cant write on developer's threads yet (altough i clicked thanks button there).
Im glad i finally got rid of my memory hogging default rom and now i have a properly working phone again!
Also i wanted to reply there (to some people also complaining about battery endurance on GT540 on Zoe Rom) how i fixed my battery main problem.
Pic of current battery drain:
http://postimage.org/image/d8o8uusd7/
As you can see i am aproximatelly at 50% battery after 1day and 11h of not charging.
I had 2 problems:
1- Battery lasted aproximatelly 5 hours on standby (and i mean i wouldnt even touch the phone and the battery was gonne after that time)
2- During intense battery drain usage, the battery was reporting to have less energy than what it actually has.
1st problem solved by simply turning off the wireless after im done with using it. No idea how could that be taking away so much energy, but it was. Somewhere during the period i was using my default rom i got used to have wireless always on, and my battery on the later times was going away faster than normal (i also like to listen to music on the phone). At the time i didnt correlate the 2 things, and i just put in my head that it probably was the battery dieing on me. It wasnt! The wireless (i suppose because of the Sync function also being on) has been draining my battery like mad between charges.
2nd problem persists. As you can see on the pic, those 2 spikes down correspond 2 diferent aproximatelly 1 GB file wireless transfers with Wifi File Browser app. This transfers (PC->Phone) make the phone CPU have to unzip the two 1GB files to the SD, so they are very CPU and SD card read/write intensive (i can force this battery drops with other instense battery use like playing a 3D game for example). The thing is if during that temporarly drop on the battery level measurement, the level hits 5%, the phone will shutdown. But to be honest, this problem is minor comparing to the 1st one.
There is one other minor problem with my battery, wich is the reading being inconsistent (drops 10%, then gains 15% then drops 5% again etc), but is this a problem at all?
I read a post of a guy that had made extensive testing to his battery cycles, providing loads of graph of battery levels (cant find link) . I didnt read through all of it, but i remember the guy saying something in the end like "Dont be too paranoid with your battery levels, as they arent accurate. Instead use your phone normally and you will gain an idea of how long will it last with certain types of usage"
By the way, he also said for people to just charge their battery whenever they could/wanted as it has no negative impact on battery life. I also read a bit of a paper on lithium-ion batteries stating the same, so no more forcing full-discharges for me!
One last thing! Deleting the batterystats file is as simple as disconnecting your phone from the charger.Why? because that file serves solely the purpose of suplying the UI with info of the battery drain usage on the current battery cycle.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And you can confirm this if you unplug your phone while looking at yout battery stats.
I hope this helps
PS: pls notice that it could have been not the wireless itself that causes the battery drain, but some service using the wireless. Finding this would require more extensive testing.

Update
Hello again
I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.
Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.
I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol
With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.
I've have had similar problems with the battery on my GT540 with all cyanogenmods - 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2. There were no such problems with original 2.1 I think it is the price for the newer versions, I can live with that, I don't have to buy new phone

I rooted my phone as of yesterday, I charged it all night and when I took it off today the battery went from completely full to dead withint 3 hours of no use. I did not use the phone at all.
Any ideas?
If you just rooted your phone, you should not have battery drain... Try to temporarily disable root (with Voodo OTA RootKeeper for exemple)
Use better battery stats to nail down which app is causing the drain
Did you try wiping your battery stats in CWM - advanced?
There's also an app, Battery Calibration, on the Play Store that may help with that.
Not uncommon to get weird battery readings after changing rom's or rooting.

+1 that app will tell you exactly what's bogging down your cpu, and which apps prevent proper deep sleep mode.

This is soooo strange. Not a normal behavior!! Before you root your phone, how the battery lifes goes??? Are you in a stock or modified ROM? Wich kernel are you using?
I faced this issue a couple weeks ago. Android S.O was the culprit and it was driving me crazy. I was using a custom ROM (RemICS-UX). I solved the problem returning to stock and erasing everything, then i reflashed the ROM and the kernel, in my case Devil3 0.79. If you want to give it a try!!
After that my batterys life is pretty fine, during at least 2 days!
Feel free to ask anything you want! Cheers mate

Go through a couple more full charge cycles, if android os usage isn't very high then, it should be fine.
Edit: on second thought, draining the battery without use in 3 hours is extreme, and would suggest that the CPU is running at max speed all the time. If it doesn't solve itself or improve a lot after a few more charge cycles, reflash everything.

Did you just root your phone or did you flash another ROM? Some ROMs have horrible battery life.
The stock battery usage monitor (Settings>Battery) should be enough to tell you what ate your battery. If it's a particular app you're running, try disabling that and see if it improves. If the usage is mostly "Android System", "Mobile standby", or something like that, then you have a tougher problem. The free app CPU spy will let you know if something is keeping your CPU usage high. Better battery stats is pretty cheap and will give you much more specific information.
+1s for BetterBatteryStats and waiting a few charge cycles before judging/debugging your battery drain, especially if you changed your kernel to root or flashed a rom.
I find that after flashing a new rom or kernel my phone, the battery level shown in recovery mode is higher than in the rom's settings, for a couple days. (You can see batt level in semaphore's recovery). I once dud a lazy search about this and found nothing, but I figure that's what is meant about waiting a few cycles gir your battery to calibrate.

There's no such thing as "calibrating your battery". It's a myth. Wiping your battery stats file doesn't do anything other than reset the tracking of what's using power. It doesn't magically fix your battery meter. Flashing a new ROM doesn't leave left over data, again a myth.
Battery life is never consistent after flashing because your ROM needs to "settle" for a day or two first and during that time your ram and cpu usage are all over the place.
The rest is a placebo effect.

I think I may know what is happening to you as of now. Try to bring up the Battery settings if you are on ICS and take a screenshot and post it here. If my 'spider' senses are correct, your phone did not go to 'sleep' and remained awake.
Since I can't put my signature for unknown reasons...(Maybe because I just created an account since I did not want my old one)

Currently I'm experiencing a huge battery drain too. I used both tools which where mentioned here in this thread and when the drain occours, CPU spy reports that my SGS didnt go in deep sleep at all with turned off display, it was at least at 100mhz all the time! I attached 2 logs from better battery stats and it seems like the NotificationService is causing it?
I'm using JW6 PDA JW4 Modem and JVC CSC in combination with the MNGB 0.5.8 Kernel.
Definitely, now you got to find out what is causing it!
