i use the latest release, 3.3 version and my battery drains in like 10 hrs of normal usage...
the worst part is that upto 95% of battery is consumed just by display?
i used to get 2 days of battery backup previously on the official Rom.
i tried re flashing kyrillos Rom yesterday and i still get the same problem :’(
is there something i am missing?
or should i wait for atleast 1 week after flashing?
I don't know, but you can also install Juice devender from the market
I like that app. Now the battery has a longer life: 2 days.
The battery seems to be a problem indeed with our devices. Mine was on 5% for 12hrs yesterday.
I've read advice from Lestat, I think, to charge the battery completely before flashing.
I've yet to test it though.

awesome bro, will reply here with the results soon......
does some1 know a fix to show my battery in units in stead of dozens? srry for my english^^
boom....battery at 60%, 25 hours and still.running ( but can only say its because of this when i get home....because right now my cell phone is in airplane mode)
thanks
i think i know why i am loosing battery very fast
It may have to do with cpu scaling also.I installed cpu master and saw that the cpu is always on 667mhz and not down-scaling when not in use.
Kyrillos 3.3 rom
try using SetCPU...
clarkkov said:
This depends on the network you use, but you can set your phone to use only GSM network or only WCDMA network in the Mobile network settings, if you are located in area where your network switches constantly because of a weak signal your battery will drain itself because of constant refreshing and switching between GSM and WCDMA networks. WCDMA (3G) network uses more battery even if not switching.

Thanks, mine is set to GSM only, since i don't use 3G..
I tested my phone again now for the past two days and found out that it comes for like 20-24 hrs in moderate (daily usage), which is ok for me....
the battery first reduces to 80% in the first 1 hour (even with minimum usage, don't know why this happens), and then it stays at 80-60% for like 15-16 hrs...
I got this problem in Kyrillos 3.0beta version...but now in 3.3 its fine...i can use mine till 2.5 days...widout task manager!!! :-/ i dunno...!!! Juicedefender works cool for sum ppl!!!! the oder solution try Indroid 3.0 - it has better battery backup!
clarkkov said:
You should callibrate your battery with one of the callibration apps, or charge to 100% and then delete battery stats file manualy. Then discarge your battery completely so the phone switches off. The next cycle should be better. Those first 20% percent do go faster than the rest of the battery.

So should i let the phone discharge completely?

After calibration one more cycle will be short. The next cycle will be at least double battery life. I get 30+ hours with moderate use (wifi, calls, sms, light games with GSM non-stop) now. I can also recommend Juice defender as an aid for battery conser ation. setCPU doesn't help.

still 30 hours isnt enough, its roughly a day.
With 2.1 original firmware and data activated all day i could get 50hrs minimum of battery life.
I'm done with this phone, done trying different roms, calibrating batteries, charging and discharges in less than a day.
i think this phone rocks, except its battery life sucks!
im selling it to change for something with better battery, maybe bb?

Battery problems is from ext4! You can convert all partitions to ext2 with normal battery life but with more chances for data to lost if you remove the battery!

I get horrible performance. Horrible battery life. My nexi is always hot. ALWAYS. It hasn't cooled down once. Idk but I'm really sad. Anyone else experiencing a horrible time?
im sorry to say no, im also on cm 5.0.6 test 3 with insectraven AVS kernal and perfomance is great, and temps are between 20 and 25*C.
Works fine for me.
Did you guys wipe data and cache?
no, i just updated straight from 5.0.5.3, if your coming from another rom, or u getting trouble try deleting the cache.
Bad battery life here as well.
explain bad battery life, im getting 2 days light usage, with gprs on all time, and screen at lowest setting. and using setcpu profiles.
i tried Cy's for about 10m before flashing back to enom's, so i can't say anything about battery life, lol

2 days isn't possible on the nexus. Are you using 3G? Most peoples standby drops 5% in an hour.
2 days is possible, as i use only gprs, only, and i also stated light usage, which means not pulling my phone out my pocket every 5 mins, to burn battery juice on the screen. also at night i turn APNdroid on and terminate all data traffic.
i can go two days also on my n1 i used my phone with head phones for about 5 hours and about 16 hours i still had 50% battery life left with cyanogen 5.3 not his new one. have not flashed it yet but when i do all let you now how it does

I, as well, see about a 1%/hour drain when my phone is not in use.
Usually, unruly battery drain is due to a rouge application you have installed.
I'm getting better than ever battery life on CM6.
Try charging all the way, reboot into recovery, wipe battery stats, charge all the way again.

I did something similar... I got it to warning (15%) and then erased battery stats... I then ran my my phone until it died and died again... after that it shouldn't get past boot if so then proceed to boot it into bootloader. The bootloaders white screen should drain back up battery quickly so only leave it on for only 2-3 mins. Charge it fully powered off and enjoy 15+ hours uptime!

cyan 6 has had terrible battery life for me. so i switched back to leofroyo latest beta rom and got back my 3hr/% standby battery life. with widgets and email checking every 30 minutes. i'm down to 2hr/% in standby. usually in a day i lose 25% battery life with mild internet use and calling. i charge my phone every two days. can't beat that.
Try manually closing all applications & services that are not vital to your phone, then test over a day or two. If that doesn't work, try a different kernel.
Okay I've had about enough of this. It goes down to 15% every day EVEN IF I DON'T USE IT AT ALL
Could someone recommend me the best battery life rom in town, even if it's the stock one?

Try blackbar v6.1 or stockbar v6.1. Those are the FRF91 build. I haven't tried the FRG33 but it's probably pretty great as well. The first post lists the changes from stock.
I'm fighting with battery life too, but problem is not when in standby where it uses less than 1% per hour, but actually using it (browsing) you can see battery lose 1% every two minutes... is it like that for you guys also? Really frustrating me...

Don't do this. Draining lithium ion batteries to completely dead is one off the worst things you can do to those batteries. It kills off their capacity
Charge to full, turn off phone and charge again until led turns green again, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
15 hour uptime is average not excellent

This is an excellent ROM. i've used it until i switched over to LeoFroyo. They both use the stock kernel and in my opinion i think its th best.
i also like to downclock the processor down to 800mhz with setcpu. definitely helps with the battery drain while using the phone. Non of those 925mv kernels help out in my experience.
Well I run go chat and msn constantly, I use 40 percent display, wifi, 3g, sync, etc and its about double the length I got when it was stock. Right now at 12% and I'm at 16 hours and 32 minutes! I wipe battery stats every time I flash a new radio also it seems to help

same here on enoms. battery drain on cm6 was one of the main reasons i jumped ship to enoms
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

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.

Sorry to start another thread on battery issues but I was unable to find a scenario like mine.
Hey everybody, Im new to the android scene, just got my vibrant less than a month ago. Before that I had an Iphone 3g. So far I like the phone but the battery life is horrible. When I surf the internet on wifi or 3g I noticed that I use like 3-5% in a matter of 5 mins. Is this normal? I consider myself to be a light-moderate user and have been getting and average of 12 hours or so on my vibrant. Also if it makes any difference when my phone is idle or being used my temperature runs around the high 80's low 90's but when being charged it drops to the low 80's or high 70's. What is going on? How can I get more 20 hours on my phone? With the iphone I used to get an easy 15 hours and still have like 40-50% remaining.

When I first got the vibrant, it had pretty bad battery life, I would lose like 25% while sleeping 8-10 hrs. So light usage would be like a day. Slowly I started to get longer battery life (2 days on light usage). Recently I could get up to like 3.5 days on real light usage. After updating to JI6, max I can get now is like 3 days. I didn't really do much and I tripled my battery life by just giving it time.
Thanks burntrat I guess ill be patient. And I must mention that I am running stock.i was just worried because my battery temperature gets colder when charging and warmer when idle or running.

Hey burntrat or anybody, has your battery ever acted sort of schizophrenic on you? I mean one day I leave it on standby and its drains like 1% in 7-10 hours another day I leave it on standby and it drains 18% in about 4 hours. Whats going on?

If ur super concerned get these 2 apps
~juice defender
~ super power
My battery has been draining inconsistently lately. It drains faster in the 50-100% level. Under 50%, it feels like it drains slower while doing the same stuff.

Juice defender doesnt work for me, but ill have to try superpower, anyways I just feel that its weird that without anything changing, my battery drains differently on different days. Burntrat I think thats normal for every phone, the last 50% always seem to drain slower.

if your phone is draining a lot during standby or sleeping. There may be a rogue app out there or an app that didnt shut down properly. (I guess that would mean a rogue app)

I had the same problem, stock task manger doesn't show all of the apps.
Check ur services, go to settings apps manage apps running applications.
Or instead of that I brought the advanced task killer back to check on things
@aamir123 and burntrat: maybe you guys need to calibrate your battery? Also the stock rom usually has a lot of bloatware running in the background. Flashing a custom rom oughta do the trick.

How do you recalibrate the battery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Try this. Download the system panel app from the market. You can set it to monitor your system and it will chart what applications are running and how much they are using the cpu. If you find you have some unnecessary bloatware running in the background download titanium backup and freeze those apps.

There are a lot of different ways mentioned in different forums. Try this:
Let your battery drain all the way to the point when it turns off by itself.
Charge it while its off until its full.
Unplug it, turn the phone on, then plug it in again.
After it reaches 100, unplug the charger and turn your phone off.
Once off, plug it in and let the charging complete.
Once complete, unplug it and turn the phone on. When everything has loaded, turn the phone off (note: no charging involved in this step.)
After it turns off, charge it one last time until 100%. After this, go into recovery and clear battery info (or cache, I forget). There you go
Oh, and its better if you don't download too many apps that monitor battery usage, cpu etc. cuz they will contribute to the battery consumption.

It isn't a good idea to let your battery drain all the way to zero since it is lithium ion. I think skipping that part and just charging it when it's on to full, then off to full, then on to full, then off to full and then wiping battery stats would suffice. Also you need to have clockwork recovery to wipe battery stats.

When the phone turns off by itself, the battery still has some juice left in it to prevent it from losing the ability to charge, if that's what you meant by not a good idea cuz its lithium ion. If thats not what you meant, then please explain why.

When I first got the vibrant, it had pretty bad battery life, I would lose like 25% while sleeping 8-10 hrs. So light usage would be like a day. Slowly I started to get longer battery life (2 days on light usage). Recently I could get up to like 3.5 days on real light usage. After updating to JI6, max I can get now is like 3 days. I didn't really do much and I tripled my battery life by just giving it time.

Agreed. In my case, I barely lasted 12 hours on moderate use with any of the JI6 2.1 ROMS (Eugene's, Bionix, Fusion, etc). I think after I updated to 2.2, all of the ROMS have been giving me 18+ hours on moderate-heavy use no matter what modem or kernel I use.
So where is the "unique" problem?

Try to fully charge phone, then wipe battery stats in xrecovery and fully drain
My phone with Froyo 2.2 with OC takes about 2 days with normal use, not playing games and or using GPS or 3G, just talking on phone what really annoys me a bit
Wipe stats now. Than drain it. Fully charge it without a break.

i only sent 2 sms and watched the hour sometimes
I've tested the battery life recently, it is able to standby for more than 2 days.
But it won't last more than 3 hours if I keep running emulators while surfing the internet even with minimum brightness.
Not bad for daily usage.
I am using racht's Floyo 0.20 too. Battery normally lasts 3 days for me.
I remember, with stock SE ROM during the night 30% of the battery was drained
Now just 1% with no OC or UV.
floyo 0.20 - 3days to about 20% with normal use, with gaming alot or wifi/www i can use for 2 days, wipe battery stats always works for me after changing rom
Solved!!! (using a third party program: SetCPU)

I'm using Floyo 0.30 and battery life is a little better, but i was still having problems, just like tommig1990, but by using SetCPU, I could finally solve this, just use the profile "Screen off" and set the max speed to the minimum posible (I think it's 122 MHz) and you'll get a lot more battery.
Before, during the night, with screen off and no radios on (no wireless, bluetooth or 3g), the battery used to go from 100% to 70% or even less, I mean 30% just for doing nothing?? Now it goes from 100 to 91% in the same conditions. Even with radios on (WiFi for example) it saves a lot of juice (I guess the only condition is to have the screen off, but you still get your notifications to work perfectly!!)
I'm so happy now, I'm just waiting for the next version of Floyo or an stable version of 2.3 with everything working. So, don't forget to checkout racht roms and keep an eye on the project he's working on now, I'm sure it's gonna be great!!!
I agree, been using v0.30 now and battery life last long. Been using my wifi + gps for 3 hours after fully charging it, now its still on. its been almost 24 hours now and i think its in 45% batt.
