Ugh.. getting mad at battery life!

I have not changed anything... I was getting 16+hours and still having between 15 and 20% left but the last two days I'm hardly getting 10 hours! WTF!
What is a good program for seeing what apps are open when they don't need to be? Would that just be like a tast killer?
Just a little rant... sorry. When I complain to my friends they just call me a nerd... I need to vent to people that understand, haha.

does your ranting require a new thread?

Wow people, how on earth do you guys get battery life of 16hrs. I can hardly get 3 hours on my phone...

Yeah, Its as pointless and useless as your post. Yet we both wanted to say something... so here we both are... wasting space.

Have a great day! Enjoy your battery.

you using the phone for straight 3 hours? if yes that's normal.
To the OP check the new apps you've downloaded.

Nope.. I use it moderately. listening to music for maybe an hour brings down my battery levels from 90 to 58% and this thing is draining 1% every 2 mins on standby...
Btw while I was charging my phone and it magically jumped from 8 to 34% in jus 10mins or so(I had switched it off before charging and after few mins of charging, I switched it on to find it on 34%). Is this a factor??

that's ridiculous, that must be an application eating up type battery

jumping percentage means your battery stats is ruined. wipe it, but the battery drain on idle mode isn't about the stats.
what rom are you running?

If you're charging via USB, you may wish to connect to AC. USB doesn't charge as fast and your phone (apps running, etc) may using power faster than the USB can replenish it.
If you're on AC, turn the phone off and charge it that way. If it continues to decrease this way, there is something seriously weird with your device.

I re-flashed bionix but the battery drain still continues.. Should I change back to toxic darky 9.5 and see how the battery on that thing is working?

Battery daing or not?

Me battery start behave strange, i charge it for 3-4h, calibrate but after unpluging it drop to 95, 90, 80% very fast (~30min). It's hapen on new miroslav rom and new pebe froyo and ginger.
Is this normal or...?
Sent using Tt.

it' not normal. I charge my phone after 2 day with SDSL miroslav but when I use Mur4ik's rom, I charged my phone after 1 day.
I often use wifi and music program.

I have the same problem!
Does this mean that my bat is going bad?

i think it comes with the time..
my battery is behaving similar and it just gets reloaded to 98 % sometimes max 90%
the same with my CPU. today i crashed while showing my wonderful 880 mhz and nothing was moving anymore ^^

Battery Drain in Mur4ik's rom.
Well for me with normal use, (some internet, wifi, games, and apps, 10 min max a day for phone and some ****ty network coverage) with Mur4ik's rom i get 1 day of battery.

On the 2.3.7 SwiftDroid 2 RC5 the battery life is pretty good. But I don't use 3G or WiFi that much.

Bad battery life after rooting and istalling a rom

Hey guys. I recently rooted my gt540 for the first time. Everything went smoothly, i installed a rom with fastboot, installed clockwork recovery and then the problems came. I installed swiftdroid 2.3.7 and i noticed the battery was draining too fast. The only thing that was on was wifi. I dont even use a sim in that phone. I left the phone at home and when i came home 5hours later it turned off. I thought this rom was to blame so I installed polish blood beta 6 ics rom. When i'm using the phone the battery is draining very fast. And also when i plug it in it is recharging too fast. It goes from 40% to 60% in a minute. Before I started installing these custom roms my phone could last weeks in standby mode with wifi on. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thanks in advance

You have two options, first from the android market download battery calibration, charge your phone to 100 % or when phone indicates "charged", run battery calibration and click calibrate, it will remove battery stats from the system (you need to do this every time you flash a rom, the second method, after your phone is fully charged, go into clockwork recovery (power + home), choose advance, and choose remove battery stats to remove it, restart and enjoy, hope it helps!

Our phone is not suitable for later versions on android,tha one you mentioned are roms which eat a lot of battery.......if you are lookin for battery performance switch to 2.1 roms.......
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium

So then it's not just my phone. But it seems illogical that it drains so fast. If I used this phone as my personal device it wouldnt last me even two hours of active usage. What's the point of these ROMS if they cant get you at least through the day?

Battery problems

Hi, i think it was asked before, but couldnt find it anywhere so im posting my problem with battery.
I will start from the beginning:
So i installed kyrillos 10.5 and i noticed, that my battery level goes to 5% it sticks there for about an hour and thought that i should calibrate my battery. I insalled battery calibration app, charged my phone hit the magic button. I waited for the phone to shut down on its own and it was just like before. I charged my phone and than booted it. Everything was ok, but when the pone shut down at 33% when i wasnt expecting it i got worried. So then i booted my phone without charging, it booted and intantly shut down. Booted it again and was at 5% and used it for a hour or so. So what is the problem? What should i do?
Sorry for my bad english

You should buy a new battery or download something from Google Play " Battery Callibration"

i think flashing a roms reduce battery life...

Either your battery is faulty or the sensor doesnt read the values properly. Anyway do a factory reset and look what happens

Use a battery calibrate app as well. When you flash a new ROM its essential you wipe out previous battery stats.

4.4.4 has really hurt my battery. I thought it was the battery, so I replaced with an OEM. Still drained, so I did factory reset, same problem, went with CM11 and it still drains fast. It even drains when the phone is powered off. I can charge to 100 and then power down the phone and 24 hours later power on and the battery is around 60%.
