OKAY. As many of you know, I used to be pissed about my battery life until I hit the gold mine with one of raven's 800 kernels. Even after trying 10 of them, only recently did one of them hit the spot for my phone. As most know, the higher the battery temperature, traditionally - the higher the battery drain. I noticed that most of the YouTube videos where people are showing off their N1s didn't have cases on their phones. Now, I regularly use two different cases: A seidio snap and one of the gel-like hard/flexible cases. Recently, I have been using the gel one. I also have a friend that I work with whose phone on the same setup and same kernel gets half the battery life that I do and she is using the snap right now. This morning, I flashed Raven's new 800 kernel AND switched my case to the Snap. If you saw my posts, I got roughly 35 hours of light-moderate use and still had 19% left a few days ago on his 800 from 5/04. After upgrading the kernel, my battery was better than stock, but not great (losing about 3%/hour). I just took off the Snap case and am flying naked right now and think I've already seen an increase in battery life. Obviously, it is too soon to tell. That being said, I'm a computer guy, not a physics guy and I don't know the thermodynamics of the material. I can say that the Seidio Snap has a felt lining and is plastic which I think traps more heat. You guys may tell me I'm nuts but I'm posting a poll to see. Now, I know everything is going to be a little subjective, especially the word "moderate"; however, I think most people contributing in the kernel threads have a solid understanding of the general consensus of the word. Sorry if the poll didn't include every option but I'm just curious.
<10 hour battery life is not crap. With moderate use that's what u get.

I considerate moderate use around 30 minutes total web browsing, 10-30 texts, <1 hr of phone usage and a few e-mails. Even the iPhone can go longer than that (and I hate the iPhone). Also, coming from someone now on 800AVS kernels that can finally get over a day, 10 hours is not very good.
I found the difference between nekkid and a rubber/felt case to be neglegable if any.
Conversely I found some apps to be bad about it when it comes to waking the phone for refreshing data or keeping the system awake (or more awake) even after the display is off. My biggest battery gains were in curtailing a few apps. ymmv, best of luck.
10 Hour moderate use is ok.
But i get double that...
Recently testing the GSM Auto (PRL) mod and it seems to boost my phone considerably.
Unhooked it yesterday at 8.00 PM went for my night shift.
At work i have used it for 20 min. Music and 20-25 min of surfing and nothing else. The rest of the time it has been on standby.
Is now almost 8.00 am. 12 hour has passed and is at 73% left discharging.
Here is my hacks and settings:
ROM: CyanogenMod 5.0.6-N1
Baseband: 2.6.24.00.22U-4.03.00.21_2 (unchanged)

Honestly, I don't think kernel has anything to do with your battery life. At least not much.
I constantly PUSH 2 email accounts (never turn it off), I always have WiFi, BT, 3G and GPS on. I never turn them off. My brightness is at least at 75%, sometimes at 100%.
I constantly check up on Pocket Empires (game) for about 2-3 minutes every 1-2 hours.. do about 10 min calls.. check engadget, browse xda through an app a little..
And I get 10 hours. If I set brightness/sync like you, I'd probably get that battery life too. I got Cyan 5.x (latest), Amon recovery, stock kernel, stock radio.
I'm happy with my batt life, I can always swap to another battery that's always charged on the dock.. but I use the phone to its fullest and never have to wait for gps/mail/wifi.

I agree 100%. (Except I drive an Evo, not an STI)...
I get ~10 hours and that's just fine and as I would expect for this phone.
I am delighted that some people get more, but their experience is the exception, not the rule.
I'm currently using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3 with the Kernel that came with it, and I'm not too impressed with the battery - seems to be draining a lot when on stand by. Just curious on the best battery-saving Kernel out there that is stable and is great with battery percentages.
Try some of wildmonks UV kernels.
I'm also wondering about this. Im currently on kmobs #48 kernel. I have set cpu with profiles set up to under clock when screen is off. Anything else I could try. And no I don't want juice defender.

x2 i've been running 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710.zip on the latest nightlys and battery life has been very good
Just flashed the 1190mhz WildMonk's Kernel and it seems to be a little laggy, can't comment on the battery usage though (I will tomorrow).
I've been reading and people are saying >1190mhz is very stable, but I've been seeing that people are clocking it much lower than 1190mhz (at 1133mhz). I don't care about the speed, I just want my phone to last longer, and to not crash.
Should I flash the 1133 instead of the 1190?
2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 is extremely stable on CM6 & offers much better battery life than stock kernel.
I use it with GPRS/Wifi on full time, moderate browsing (about 1 hr), 20-25 SMS's sent, 50 SMS's received & around 1 hr of talk time. Leaves me with more than 30% juice even after 24 hrs.
To do better on battery life, avoid using the live wallpapers & use a black/dark
static wallpaper.
Cheers !

Battery life on latest CM Nightlies has been very impressive with the included kernel.
i saw him tweet this... whats CM nightlies?
Pershoot is number one, no question about it.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
I have brightness at 100% full-time (Love it!), I have live wall papers 100% (Love it!) of the time and have 3g always with 2 Gmail accounts push via K-9.
GPS off, BT off. WiFi off.
I have CM6.0 with this kernel (1 month old version). It is OC, UV + Extra RAM with no HD(?).
I doubled my battery life on CM6 and very easy get 1 day out of it, almost never below 30% - from 7am to 11pm. I'm at 49% (midnight) with my average use.
If I stream radio, I drain about 15% per hour on 3g. I drain about 5% to read top 20 news on Engadget app (twice a day)
This is my second kernel from this developer. I used one with 2.1 and now with 2.2. I know I'm coming again for the new one when I feel I need to.
I do not limit my usage, as I WANT to kill my battery, but can't succeed.

this is the one i have gave a try and I am very impressed.
I have two Arias, one freshly rooted with the rooted stock ROM and one running attn1's FR008 flashed straight from the freshly rooted state. The only additional app installed is BattStatt, so I can easily monitor battery state. One battery is new, with only a few cycles (over about a week) and one battery is older, purchased in August.
Over the next few nights I will be doing an experiment. Both phones will be on, same settings for GPS, WiFi, Data, and Bluetooth. They will only have the displays set on about every hour or so to check battery states. The following night, the test will be done again, with the batteries swapped. I will then run the test again with WiFi on, with intermittant connections due to my work environment.
I expect to update this thread after each night's experiment.
The first night is an exception, I'm comparing my normal ROM (loaded with apps, widgets, and running Tasker) My first night has been interesting...one running freshly rooted is still 100% after 1.5 hours. The FR008 with many apps is down to 89% (note that this is the older battery). Perhaps at the 4 hour mark, I shall swap them. It would be nice to do this with 2 new batteries, but I have what I have.
This is being done to lay rest to the claim that one ROM gives better battery life over another. Seems like it is going to be conclusive if the first night is any indication. Perhaps we'll see what app is the culprit? (Widgets??Tasker??)
Phone calls?
Interesting article regarding battery life
Interesting experiment !
Just FYI - an provocative article :
Your Battery Gauge Is Lying To You:
Everything You Need To Know About Bump Charging
And Inconsistent Battery Drain
No phone calls on either. Just to be fair, since one is without a sim card, both of them have data turned off.
At the 4 hour mark, the original rooted ROM is still at 100% and the FR008 with mucho is at 82%. I have swapped batteries.
This gave me an opportunity to race bootups. The stock ROM booted up and was usable before the FR008 (with UOT cooked startup bootup animation) even got to the dancing droid. Makes me want to undo that to see if that is slowing down the bootup.
I am eager to do this full swing with clean ROMs tomorrow. I shall make a backup of the FR008 ROM then go back to the aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip
(found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783508&highlight=Original+ROM). I will then flash FR008, adding only a widget for easy monitoring of battery levels, BattStatt.
This experiment is going to have to wait. Part 2 of last night's experiment indicated that my older battery drains fast in either device/ROM. The article linked in this thread is good reading. Thanks for that info.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
Awesome idea
What a great idea - I hate the battery life on my Aria, and have tried multiple ROMs and multiple battery programs. I look forward to watching your progress with different settings and ongoing informational reports

I have two Aria phones - both the same age
one is stock 2.1
one is FR008
I set them both up the same - running HTC Sense -
I set the phones down (while I slept) for 8 hours
the stock phone drained 10%
the FR008 phone drained 43%
Did it twice
I know its not a 'real' test , but it does make you go hrmmmmmmmm.

You set the phone down for 8 hours and your phone drained 57% battery on idle for FR008? I find that very hard to believe because I have set my phone down over night and it drained 2% of my battery if even that. FR008 has shown the best battery life to me over the entire FR series. As of right now, my battery has been off charger for 6 hours, and Ive used the internet, wifi, and light texting with my battery at 100% still.
Edit: Im also using SetCPU...I dont know how much of a difference that would make, but there should be a difference. Try using SetCPU
FR008 is a battery drainer from hell. I just accept it.
SetCPU slows down my phone to epic proportions--no thanks.

I said I have been off the charger for 6 hours. Not necessarily using the phone for 6 hours. I browsed the web for around half an hour and sent about 30 texts since Ive been off the charger. I just dont see how its possible for your phone to drain 57% while youre not using it. What happens when you start using it?

Wow... to use your words "I just don't see how it's possible" that you are still at 100% after sending 30 texts and 30 minutes of web browsing. In my own experience with my 2 month old Aria, even on the stock Aria, that sounds unbelievable. Either that or your battery calibration is way off.

So I upgraded my Pre for the EVO when it came out and have been using the same phone and battery since getting it. I found XDA and immediately started rooting and flashing. I started with Fresh and DC when those were about the only options. I use my phone fairly heavily as I am almost always listening to downloaded radio shows either thru a plugged in headset or a jawbone icon BT set. I would say that I averaged about 8 hours of battery life no matter what ROM and kernel combo I tried. This is everything from Fresh, DC, Virus, Warm, CM6, EViO, Evo-NonSense, MIUI, and all of the applicable kernels. The best I had gotten with all of the various combos was a little over 16 hours (with an SBC kernel), which I thought was AWESOME! Needless to say, I used Warm TwoPointTwo (including betas) for a while and touted its look, feel, performance, ease of use, and feature set alongside an SBC kernel.
I ALWAYS keep an eye on the development section for something to pique my interest and pull me away from my current setup. After trolling Lucid's thread for cm7 for a while, I took the dive when the official cm7 nightlies started rolling out. I have been with cm7 ever since. I also took advantage of savage and zendroid kernels and now savaged zen.
The longest I have gone so far is 2 days 10 hours! How? Well...conservative governor on an SBC savaged zen kernel and toggling mobile data off when not in use. Will that same setup work for you? Maybe. Unfortunately all EVO' s are not created equal.
Moral of the story? It takes alot of time, reading, and work to find the thing that works for your EVO. It was a pain to find the right combo, but it is worth all the work.
Thanks for your post. When you got the battery to last over 2 days, it looks like the phone mostly sat there, am I seeing that incorrectly?
I, like you, have tried all different things with the Evo trying to get battery and performance. I am locked on MIUI right now, it gives me the best of both worlds. If you want to try a Sense rom, try Ava's stuff. When I get "bored" with MIUI I will go back to Ava.

God will kill a kitten if you switch from MIUI. You don't want that on your conscience now, do you?
Yeah it really depends on your usage without it the 2 days 10 hours don't mean much. 2 days is no problem if I only use it to make a couple of calls. every 8 hours it only loses 4% charge when untouched with autosync on. The evo battery isn't bad it just takes tweaking like the op says
I get on average two complete days on a charge. With heavy usage I het like a day and a half, with light usage I can go 3 days. MIUI 1.1.28 w/ savage 1.6 kernel. I used to shut off my data too when I wasn't using it but with the MIUI build I'm on, I don't need to.
I really don't trust the battery use(in settings) in CM7 at ALL. I had my phone plugged into my car charger for 45mins on the way home tonight I unplugged it at 7:38pm.
It is now two hours later(10pm) it is showing I have been unplugged for10h55m9s on the posted screenshot. Then if you look at the other screenshot my battery indicator pro is showing the correct amount of time since unplugged.
I've noticed that the battery stats in cm7 do not reset unless you fully charge your phone. Otherwise it continues the count even if you plug a charger in.

MetalHead, do you overclock/undervolt? If so, would you mind sharing your settings? Lastly, have you noticed an increase in browser speeds since you flashed MIUI and tweaked your settings?
I know I need to come up with something. my battery drain is friggin' horrid.
Unplug @ 100%, turn the screen on, let it sit with nothing, pretty much, running in the background and in 10 minutes will be down to about 93%....
Tried several different combos, but all are pretty much the same results...

I overclock at 1152 with smartass governor 98% of the time. Savage 1.6 is a HAVS kernel so I guess technically it is undervolted. I honestly couldn't tell you about the browser speeds, I've been on MIUI since the beginning of November so I really have no clue what the browser speed on a Sense ROM is. Everything is a lot faster with MIUI so I'm assuming my browser speeds have also increased.

This is typical, unless you use an SBC kernel, bump charge your phone, or unplug it exactly when the light turns green.
Any non-SBC kernel will not keep the phone at 100% charge while on the charger. Some will argue that doing so is dangerous for the battery or methods like bump charging put too much wear on the battery.
This is most likely the reason that phone companies rarely have a true percentage shown on their batteries, because they all do this. If we didnt mod to get that real number shown, you would think your phone was acting just fine.
Personally, if I am really going to be using my phone a ton in one day, Ill bump charge it, but otherwise I just accept that its going to drop that first 10% really fast.
The best measure imo of battery performance is how much % you lose when the battery is somewhat discharged, and off. Every phone will drain while you use it, but most of the hours of a day, your phone is off and idle. If you lose 1% per hour, or 5% per hour, that will make a huge difference in your up time per charge.
Unfortunately, mine doesn't stop at that 10%. For instance, mine came off the charger at 5:30 AM at 100%.
By Noon, it was down to 70%, and I had 1 - 3 minute call, no texts and maybe 20 minutes of playing Klondike before work.
I guess I'm gonna have to go SBC. Worst that can happen is I end up buying a new battery, just incase it does so it in.
So in 10 minutes you drop 7%, and in the next 6 1/3 hours you drop another 23% with moderate use?
That sounds like pretty typical battery results to me, thats about 26 hours uptime with a fair amount of use. But maybe others could chime in.
Dude, 5 hands of a card game is NOT moderate use. It's practically no use. Klondike doesn't use data, GPS, etc... nothing, except minimal graphics.
The one phone call literally lasted less than 5 mins, so yes, a phone that drops 30% doing nothing is drastic.
I seem to get pretty good battery life on Myns rom.
I can go at least 24 hours with moderate usage, all on the stock kernel.
Looks like I may have found a little better stability with the Netarchy-Toast CFS 4.3.2 Havs SBC less.
30 minutes of moderate use today and it only dropped 5%
The best battery life I have gotten is from Feb 09 Plutonium.
Miks 4.5 4.2 sbc, gps on updating all every hour call, text, surf, angry birds all freaking day, and get 14 to 16hours every day
MIUI
Wow i have been wanting to try MIUI for a while and i definitely will now.
I'm getting pretty bad battery life with MIUI 2.11 on hw 003. Can anyone recommend a good kernel? I'm hesitant to try the SBC kernels based on the potential battery damage, so savaged-zen is out, also savage-zen seems to have issues with usb mounting.
Is there a link to savage 1.6 CFS, which I've read in a number of threads now is a good one. Speed is not imp, stability, bt+usb working and battery life is.
Have a EVO now with Sprint Lovers ROM on it. kinda cool I suppose. However here is my big thing. I use my phone mostly for email / some texting and a boat load of talking. SOmetimes I will be on a conference bridge for 2+ hours straight. problem is I seriously have to have a charger handy all the time. Cuz I can pull off my phone from the charger after charging all night and loose 1-4% battery life right away. Not sure what thats all about.
I just last night did a battery calibration and installed setcpu (paid version). and this seems to have helped some. but not where I'd really like to see it.
I know with using on a average-high day 500+ minutes during that day. it's not going to last me all day. thats fine. but having to plug it in before lunch time to recharge it, seems a little to much for me.
I am open to any and all suggestions on what/how to fix this. new ROM, software hacks etc... or both.
Software I run:
Flex dialer (paid ver)
built in email client (checks 2 different account every 15-30 minutes, which i know is a battery drain)
text (average light use)
CSIPSimple (sometimes)
web browser ( once in a while)
Thanks for the help!
Try an aosp rom like CM7 or Miui they get better battery life than a sense rom.
Best battery life I've ever gotten was with the Deck rom 1.2.1 and the savage zen BFS SBC kernel version 2.2.1. If you couple that with an extended battery you could go for days without charging.
With a year old stock battery and that setup I had pulled 20-36 hours (I know its a broad range, but 20 hours was the low) depending on usage.

Cuz I can pull off my phone from the charger after charging all night and loose 1-4% battery life right away. Not sure what thats all about.!

When your battery reaches 100%, your phone stops charging and lets the battery drop down to 90% before it will kick in again.
any AOSP such as CM, Decks, omfgb, miui.us, ect. coupled with tiamat or savagezen SBC kernel you will be free of charging worries & smiling.
