Hi all!
I have been using CM7 RC1 for a while, and recently upgraded to Builds 6 and 7 in order to get 4G working.
I did not wipe when flashing 6 or 7; just flashed the ZIP from the recovery.
Where I would have previously gotten 18-24 hours of use, I now get 4 or 5! It's amazing.
I'm 4h17m off the charger. Display time is 17% (1h33m), Cell standby is 29% (TWOS 6%), Maps is 20% (used it for a little bit while in the car), Phone idle is 17%, and Wi-Fi is 14%. Battery life is at 9 percent.
I'm just surprised at the bad battery life, especially after having real good life in CM7 RC1. Nothing of substance has changed other than flashing Builds 6 and then 7.
Like I said, I did not wipe anything before flashing. Should I have? I might try it, just to be sure...
Others who have CM7 Builds 6-8, could you tell me how your battery life is now compared to RC1? Is it noticeably different? This has been a tremendous drop-off for me, and I'm suspecting this must be some sort of fluke.
Thanks for the input!
This doesn't belong in Development Section.
You're right. My bad. If there's a mod around, please move it!
More than likely it's because of the lack of wipe.
also, hit up the sig for additional stuff if you're still having issues

I'm having the same issue, flashed yesterday, I was fully charged when I flashed CM7, but I spent about an hour playing with the phone and was at 60% when I left the house to go to work. My phone died within 4 hours, it was on standby all that time as I didnt get a chance to play with it. It was hard to gauge if the Rom caused the drain or if it was because it was already low on juice. This moring I was at 100%, flashed the Savage 1.0 Kernal (in the hope that it would enhance the battery life), reset the battery stats when the phone was at 100%, it stayed there for about 26 mins then went down to 99% (on standby for 26 mins). I left the house, put my phone away at work, received 2 emails, 1 missed call in 5 hours and the battery is at 46% WTF!!!! I really like this ROM, but I really need to know what is causing the issue. The setup is the same as I had on the last 2 ROMS in regards to WIFI and GPS - bluetooth is always off.
Not running on fresh (for now anyways!)

Yeah this issue has been plauging me for awhile. I'm all for system panel pro (love the app; one of the first apps I bought), but it won't help in this instance. The problem is that the battery isn't charging as fast as the numbers say they are. The easiest fix (sadly, as I hate the risk) is an SBC kernel. That way, even though your meter will say 100, it will keep charging till it actually gets to 100. Without SBC, your phone will think it gets to 100 from 50 in an hour (it's probably at about 75) and will just start dying down to 65 (instead of 100 to 90). This means that you could unplug your phone at around 50 percent even though it says 100. The SBC is a good way to confirm, as is just turning off the phone and bump charging (check the link in my sig for the how-to). I'm really curious as to what is going on with the battery meter readings, maybe some dev can comment.
Hope I helped!
I'm using build 6 with Savaged-Zen kernel and I'm getting the absolute best battery life I've ever gotten with my phone. Like others have said, try wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing the rom. If you still get bad battery life, try Savaged-Zen kernel. Its fantastic. I'm currently using the CFS version 0.1.2.
Did you flash gapps right after flashing cm7? Also, have you checked if the "Dialer" is causing wake lock using spare parts?

Its a reaction to a bad rom. No feedback here? Or we just having people endlessly downloading the thing when its obviously flawed? Over and over again?
CM7 with wimax - bites.
Are we supposed to hide that?
Be glad when they get it fixed- but- its flawed as it is. And lord dont try and tether with it....
But you live in a non 4g area dont ya? Best battery life with a crippled rom ...

Rest of us live in 4g land. Using a generic rom with 4g and tethering working- is better than touting these purist roms- that dont Do what Needs to be done... while some kanger kid seems to make it run just fine....
Working as opposed to crippled- go with working ftw
SBC kernals- dont they torch your battery? People are still using sbc kernels?
Thanks for the info, fellas.
There was nothing out of the ordinary in Spare Parts. "Dialer" didn't appear to be misbehaving.
@noirelion, I should have mentioned that this is with 4G off.
@Leukay, that sounds really great! Would you mind elaborating on what kind of life you're getting, roughly?
I'll probably end up wiping and reflashing. Since I have Titanium Backup, it's not a huge deal. Just was wondering what in the world was going on!
I've been getting 20+ hours with nightly 8 stock kernal. So definitely try wiping

CM7 Wimax works fine for me. Tether, etc. Stock kernel, Savage-Zen, both work fine. Battery life is acceptable, even more so if on a SBC kernel.
Something is definitely wrong with your install. I'm running nightly 6 with stock kernel, flashed over nightly 5 without a full wipe (wiped dalvik and cache, flashed gapps) and I just got 68 hours of battery life with 28% still left.
Try rebooting to recovery and wiping dalvik again, sometimes on first boot some strange things get cached, and a second dalvik wipe after the first boot can fix some strange behavior.

definitely a problem. i was getting 18 hrs (first light then heavy once i got out of school) and now get like 22 estimated with tiamat's noSBC (thats the 3.12 version) same light to heavy situation. try turning off data manually when u dont need it. helped a lot for me. tiamat sleeps like a baby, and gets high 1500's in quadrants.

Nobody has managed to get 4G working on an aosp rom other than teamwin for cyanogenmod. The reason sense based roms work is because HTC did the work for them. 4g for cyanogenmod was coded from scratch.

Umm ... you know the runtime in the status pane isn't the time off battery right? I mean you don't honestly expect us to believe you went nearly 3 days without a charge...
I LOL everytime I see someone crying about how they think SBC is bad. just because a few crappy chinese batteries caught fire doesn't mean your stock battery will...
saw in another post that some guy said although there wasn't real proof he was to afraid to risk it.
there is no real proof that cell phones cause cancer but he carries one of those around.
and anywho, i usually get 2+ days on CM7 nightly 6 with WiMax with savage.zen 0.1.0 and now im about to flash 0.1.2 which hopefully runs better.
I have my incredible running CM7 RC2. I tried out incredikernel (2.6.37.4-incredikernel-gb-3182011). My battery is running way hot (set cpu was purchased but not even installed currently) and dying pretty quick. I had my phone fully charged at 9 AM, and the battery was at 40% by noon...I had barely even used it. How can I revert back to the kernel that comes with CM7 RC2 (I've seen plenty of suggestions on kernels...but nothing great on one- feel free to suggest if you'd like). THANKS!
Just reflash.

Yeah, but I have everything set exactly as I like it...and when I re-flash, I do a full restore, clear cache, wipe dalvik, and restore from titanium one at a time (when I don't do this way, it typically seem to lose wifi after a couple days and have to start all over again). Which is why I was hoping for a way to just download the CM7 RC2 standard kernel independently. Plus, with a re-flash my way, all my settings are lost- quite annoying. Perhaps I'm just doing way too many steps?
Just do a search for slayher#9. That's the kernel your looking for.

I am far from a noob, its just that I have been on aosp roms for months now. I have been checking out these new 3.0 roms but I never see information on battery life. Could you tell me your set up and how your battery life is. I also worry about the performance but need the phone to get through not of the day. Thank you

I was on stock OTA GB for about a month while I wasn't able to root, and my battery life was about 6 hours with constant lowest brightness display (that is, without the display turning off during that time). I could manage about 12 hours of minimal use.
I'm now on Synergy RLS1, and I have not noticed any improvement. I've done battery calibration and conditioning and nothing's changed.
I'm using the stock battery. I have a 3500mAh battery that doesn't seem to live much longer, but I haven't used it since I've rooted.

Oh wow, I know stock sucks, but I figured that rooted sense would at least be better. Just wondering have you tried to change your kernel? What kernel are you on? Also have you tried any tips on here, to lower down your sync and such? Thanks
I'm using Synergy RLS1 and I have the extended battery as well. I got like 27 hours on a single charge. I don't know if that is amazing or not but, it is better than when I ran the stock rom

I'm using aggressive Freedom v0.8.5. That's my battery life after 5 or 6 cycles. I don't know what the problem is either. I've seen other people with good battery life with the same ROM and kernel. Even had it underclocked.
I'm going to try CM7 and see if there's any sort of improvement.

How old is your battery? Also did you flash it right, I usually wipe the device, cache and delvik cache 2-3 times each.

I got the phone new from Sprint just a little over a month ago. I flashed it along with the rom, so I wiped it including cache and dalvik cache.
I bought the extended battery about a week after thinking that my original battery may have been defective and that it would be nice to have a longer lifetime, but it only doubled (which isn't drastic considering how short it lasts with the stock battery).

I'm new to the forums, new to EVO - coming from iphone 4, I must say.. have tried atleast 15 different roms, all of which drastically suck the life out of my battery.. gingerbread evo deck definitely seemed to be the best for my battery life.. I'm trying MikG right now and it seems hideous, love how it runs/looks but going from 100-80% battery, in less than 20minutes is not good. All i've been doing is browsing tapatalk forums.
Not sure what I've been doing wrong, I do ofcourse do a complete wipe between rom changes. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, and run superwipe vr - using armon latest. ( think that's what it is called lol)
Im running synergy rls1 with Freedom 0.8.5 morefreedom version and getting a good 16 hrs of moderate use. Also have carasoul 3.0 rosie so it might take it down a little bit.
Does anyone know the best fully functioning rom with the best battery life?

CyanogenMod 7 with tiamat kernel gets pretty good battery life. The kernels tend to have mor eaffect on battery life then the roms themselves.

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

If you're flashing ROMs, you're already flashing kernels. Don't fear the kernel flash. Tiamat Lee on CM7 or Deck's is where it's at.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!

oh thanks for telling me about the undervolting. I did not know I'll go back stock. its a brand new battery but it was one of those cheap ones from ebay.. I have 2 extended batteries and my original. i havent tried the rom on my original battery yet. I'm pretty sure I did a clean install.. you do that by wiping dalvik and partition cache right? I always wipe before I install anything but ill go back through everything when i get off work. I'm at learning about all that and now that im actually pasta on the forum i can learn a lot better lol
Ive heard that undervolting doesnt really help with battery life and any benefits would be only a few percent or minutes.
Most generics I bought on ebay died after a couple months. I would look on amazon for a 1800mah epic touch battery. You can find them on ebay but its a gamble if its real. I bought 2 1800s for about $28.
Fresh install would also include wiping data or a factory reset along with cache and davlik cache. Or you can clean install with odin and odin a custom recovery then re flash as before.

Fresh install would also include wiping data or a factory reset along with cache and davlik cache. Or you can clean install with odin and odin a custom recovery then re flash as before.

oh ok then undervolting is definitely out of the question for me then.. the ones I bought was about 10 bucks for the battery, back to phone, and the wall charger peice. they seem to work good but like u as they will probably go out soonish. about the clean install, I used heimdall to install a fresh fe29, then put my cwm fixed on there, did my wipes, installed an ics rom (dont remember which one atm) did more wipes and flashed aokp. did i forget anything?

Ya when they get that cheap there bound to be fakes or just poor quality. After going threw about 4 generics in about 6 months I just opted for a OEM 1800mah and am very happy with them. Well looks like you did plenty of wipping lol. You should be good to go.
Also if there is still battery drain try betterbatterystats and cpu spy to make sure nothing is using alot of back ground data and the phone is deep sleeping good.

Lol ok so did plenty of wiping.:thumbup: I have betterbatterystats and still get used to it.. I was trying to find out what exactly was draining it. As for the other app ill check it out thanks. How long is that 1800mah batterys run time for moderate use?

Some of the stats on betterbatterystats are hard to understand but googleing most stats will help you find out what it is. Cpu spy just monitors how your cpu is being used and can help with deep sleep issues.
I get great battery life on a 1800 oem. I normally get threw a full day on it with over 4 or 5 hours of screen on time. I would also give greenify and ds battery saver a try, I have had great results with using those 2 together.

I don't want to hijack, but I also want to offer my sincere thanks to this group.
I bought 3 Fassys back in the day one for myself, my son and my daughter. Mine and my daughter's are happily running AOKP JB and loving these "old" phones. My son had a mishap with his and needed to replace it. As he didn't ask for my opinion and we're clinging to our unlimited data, he bought an LG Revolution to taste some 4G goodness, then brought the phone to his old ma for roots and roms.
I don't really know *anything*, I just know how to read XDA, but he thinks I'm the phone guru.
Anyway, I figured that a new 4G snapdragon phone must have some JellyBean ROMs available, so I wandered over to the Revolution forum.
*crickets*
I figured out how to root it, but had to hand it back to my son and tell him that his fancy new phone was stuck with Gingerbread as there's just no JB ROM for it yet. The Revolution development is as dead as a red wedding guest.
It just made me appreciate what an AMAZING community of developers we have here for the Fassy!! I could easily choose from a dozen good JB ROMs and I have every reason to believe that this old phone will be eating up some Key Lime Pie before she gives up the ghost and heads to that great back corner of a dresser drawer in the sky.
THANK YOU!! To everyone who keeps this community thriving.
THANK YOU!! To everyone who recognizes that we have a fine device here and isn't jumping at the chance to make it obsolete.
It's because of you that I can continue to be too cheap to buy a new phone and still keep my unlimited data and not feel like I'm missing out on the cool new flavors of Android.
This old mama really appreciates you all!!
