Hi.
2 days before I put Z's FreeX10 on my Phone - Now my question:
Is it normal, that the process 'Android System' (or 'Android OS' - there are both displayed), take the most battery after the display?
My battery drains so fast! In one hour multitasking with music, browsing and Twitter my battery sinks about 30% - in Stock rom it only where about 10-15%.
I hope you can help me.
Why did you create 2 threads on the same thing?? One right after the other.
Let the battery drain til the phone turns off. Charge it up, turn it on, boot into xrecovery and wipe battery stats.
That should help.

Android OS shouldn't be so high, mines 5-7% each at end of day. If calibrating battery doesn't help, backup your apps and reflash the rom. I found Z's free x10 bout the same as stock for battery, wolfs rom lasts longer tho.

Full wipe, Dalvik cache wipe, battery stats wipe and reflashed again.
Rebootet 5 times, but still the same...
I really don't know how to fix it.
There's a common misunderstanding:
batterystats.bin (the file that is deleted when we "Wipe Battery Stats" in xRecovery) is in the /data partition.
Every ROM zip includes the command to wipe the data partition in the update script, so battery stats are wiped every time we flash a ROM and/or wipe data.
The fact that Android OS seems to be using much CPU doesn't have to do with the battery stats file. The problem lies elsewhere. In my experience, it could be a 3rd party app too. Which apps did you install?

At first I tried it with the clean rom (so I don't installed the Gapps package) and looked under battery stats in Settings -> Phone Info (the last one), then I tried with Gapps and then I installed Titanium backup from market. The high consumption was everytime the same.
#Edit:
If I touch the Android System process a list of apps or processes apears:
-Google Backup Transport
-Settings
-Settingssave
-Network location
-Account & Sync. Settings
-HTC Radio Info
-Android System
-VPN-Services
and:
CPU: 2m 6s
CPU foreground: 48s
Maybe this could be helpful.

Wait a minute...
2 minutes CPU time is not a lot, unless your phone is on for 2 minutes.
So try this: charge it fully, remove from charger, reboot, use it normally, don't reboot again, after 5-6 hours, check the battery stats again.

Until now all is working good: After 3 hours and 40 mins I still have 95%, and I had a one minute phone call.
I hope the problem was fixed now

Don't check battery stats immediately after reboot!
Because after each reboot the Android System uses a lot of CPU in order to settle,
so those early stats are obsolete.
Always check after at least 2-3 hours since a reboot.
Try using mediascanner when installing a new ROM. The battery may be draining because the phone scans the SD-Card for all media...

Battery life is really relative, you can't control everything you do on a daily basis on your phone. You can't control the number of email, text message you received, etc. or the signal reception.
So, perhaps the battery now die faster because you change the way you used your phone? It's a possibility.
It's you.
I say that because you don't follow instructions.
Step 1 is to CHARGE FULLY FIRST. Where did you see that it says let it die and wipe?
Reading is fundamental.

Bionix says to charge fully then wipe..
I doubt it's possible that reconditioning would worsen your battery life. It could be a bad app or a setting that needs to be changed. For example, the Facebook app is defaulted to refresh itself every hour.
Aside from reconditioning (which really is just to kind of calibrate your battery status with the rom) it's best to check your running apps. If you leave GPS on, some apps run it in the background etc etc.
I think people spend too much time tracking their battery life that they ultimately cause it to worsen. No need to wake the screen every 5 mins to track battery etc. I get EXCELLENT standby time using bionix mainly bc I don't take out my phone unless I need it to use, vs tracking battery.

Yeah that's the thing when I first flashed bionix1.7 my battery would last forever buy now even on standby without checking my phone it will die.. It didn't do that before the failed attempt at battery recondition which I should not have done in the first place hopefully it will get better

There's no guarantee that your battery will be fixed once you do it correctly. You could just have a defective battery. My first Vibrant was defective that could not get any reception and on top of that my battery would drain real fast.

Simple answer, no! You will wipe all battery stats previously stored. Starting with a fresh charge and no batt data the fone will have to re-learn the battery data and this should give you a more accurate representation ( cuz thats all it really is ) of battery state from that point on. Hope this helps.

No, his point is that you have extraneous steps. Wiping stats AFTER a charge--drain--recharge is pointless. All you have to do is charge to full with the phone off, wipe stats, reboot.

"Battery recalibration
If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following:
Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)
Boot to recovery mode and go to console (or adb shell) and type:
mount -a
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
NOTE: Newer Amon_Ra and ClockworkMod recoveries have an option to delete the battery stats, do this in place of the console commands above.
NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the phone immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for CM to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the phone, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.
Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.
Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would."

I've wondered this -- what does the conditioning actually "fix"? (I understand it doesn't affect the way the battery physically charges & drains.) Is the problem (pre-reconditioning) that the phone is thinking/saying it's fully charged when it's not, and so you're not starting off with the 100% charge you thought you were? Or is the problem that the phone thinks (and represents) that the battery is discharging faster than it really is, as you use it? Or something else?
Also, I've read others on here talk of allowing the battery to completely discharge, and then charging to 100%, ~1x per month -- without any talk of "wiping stats." Is that supposed to be something different altogether? Thx
Did a search, didn't see anything like this, and I'm dumbfounded.
I charge my g2 (CM7 nightly) overnight, or for any amount of time, and it says 64 or 65% in the morning. I restart it, and it says 98 or 99%.
I've wiped stats, looked for weird apps, everything shy of a full wipe (high PA factor)... but this makes no sense.
Ideas?

Maybe the sample interval of the battery level was screwed up in the morning and the reboot fixed it. So the 64% might of been from earlier on but the phone forgot to check the battery levels again later

Hello!
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.

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.
Using GT-I9000 my sent Tapatalk 2 from.
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 flash CM7.2 few days ago and I'm fall in love with it
But, 5 days later, I'm not impressioned with battery life on CM7.2. It is better on stock ROM I cleared battery stats after flashing, but battery duration is not improved. CPU governor was INTERACITIVE and battery have life duration about 6-7 hours with low/medium using. Unacceptable!
Then, I change CPU governor to ONDEMAND and battery is better for a 1-2 hours. But, not better enough. 8-9 hours with medium usage is still smaller than with stock ROM (12-13 hours)
I won't to restore stock ROM, a love CM...
My dipslay have brightness around 30% (on stock was on 50% or on auto) and I thing that there is some issues with brightness in CM7.2.
Before I reboot phone, battery level was around 60%. When booted again 66%. Few minutes later, it was 60% again. That you can see on screenshot.
Every morning when I wake up, CM showing battery level for 1% smaller than 8 hours ago. But, 10-15 minutes later, it drain 10-15% battery.
I'm using stock kernel.
May someone help me to fix this?

Did you flash another kernel ?
I'm running CM7.2 for about 4 months now, and previously RC1, RC2 and 7.1, and I'm not having any issue.
I use the interative governor (min 245, max 1024), I get at least a 12 hours battery life upon normal to heavy use.
If I don't use a lot my phone, I can get up to 36h.
I remember I tried LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel and the battery life was better and performance excellent (governor was smartassv2).

1. Download the last available kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725 or directly : http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
2. Put the zip on your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Make a nandroid backup !!
5. Flash the kernel
6. Reboot and enjoy
EDIT: another good thing is to use currentwidget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&hl=fr), do a full charge until you reach 0mA, then reboot into recovery, wipe your battery stats, let your phone reach 0mA again, then unplug your phone. This should fully reset your battery, and let your ROM properly calibrate it.

I was on CM7.2 a few weeks ago. I got pretty good battery life. About 2 full days.
I only used 2G & WiFi.
One thing you have to know about flashing a new kernel is that you absolutely need to first boot the ROM with its original kernel first !
As you seem to have many problems, you should:
- full wipe/factory reset, reformat everything except your sdcard
- check the md5sum of the zip (rom especially) on your sdcard
- be sure your battery is fully charged
- flash the rom
- boot it, do not link with your google account
- let your battery charge again
- wait a few minutes
- unplug your phone and reboot
- link your google account
- test if you still have a battery drain but do not install any application, as some of them could cause your battery issue
- make a nandroid backup
- flash the other kernel if needed
- restest battery draining
Hope it'll help !

Hi All ,
How To Confirm That My Battery Have Problem And Need A Replacement ?
My Battery drain now is so annoying and drops so fast although i don't use the phone that much just let the WiFi for notifications
Playing the Music Player For 1 hour consumes about 13% of battery
Using ARHD ROM
New battery will cost me about 60$ so i want to confirm that it's the battery
Using DHD for 1 year now
Thanks all
13% per hour hour isn't too bad, it could be a bad flash. Usually an actual battery issue will be drain in standby within minutes.
Although everything works well, sometimes a you flash a Rom and the battery life is just really abnormal.
You could also try recalibrating your battery. Use battery recalibration from play store (needs root). I recommend unplugging andletting it drain down to a few percent, you don't need to force shut down your phone.
Since you've had that battery for a year, how long was it in extreme heat? (30 celcius) above. Heat is a lithium ion battery's worst enemy
Finally, an unofficial battery from amazon will be just as good if not better for only $20USD. It's like an official crap case and screen protector for 200 USD, or more than the phone is worth, or a quarter that for a bullet proof third party case.

Try using the phone only for web browsing. If you can continuously use web browser for more than 3 hours, battery is fine.

i had also the same question, i flashed now a new rom and battery goes excellent...maybe wipe battery stats also plays some kind of role?
Just Fullcharge your phone , wipe batterystats and let it discharge , so it can remake new stats.
Also try a clean reflash of your ROM.
0. Backup
1. Format all partitions(except sdcard)
2. Wipe cache/dalvik
3. Wipe batterystats(if phone is on 100%)
4. Flash your preferred ROM
5. Fixing permissions(optional)
[Can be quickly done with 4EXT ]
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA-Premium App
Stop fixing permissions and stop wiping battery stats because it has no basis in reality.
Fixing permissions only works if apps are force closing.
There is a code to type into the dialer to see your battery health, or download an app called Better Battery Stats, and you can the same results.
