without doing anything new my battery time just droped off the face of the earth.. its down about 75%. i was getting a full day mixed use now all of a suden im getting 6-8 hours with just a few phone calls.
my awake time is at 16%
I havent done anything new that i can think of.
im using (and have been for awhile) the mugen 1800 extended battery.
trying to think what might be doing it and cant come up with anything i havnt found in the forums already.
you probably downloaded some app that is running in the background continuously. check with a task manager to see what's running, and then try uninstalling some recent apps to test it out.
thats what i was thinking but i cant find anything new running with the task manager

Could just be a bad battery? I'm having same problem, maybe worse with stock battery. I went from 100% down to 15 in like 5 hours just reading my RSS feeds every hour or so. I think I may have fried my battery using it to tether for excessively long periods.
You're not using your phone to tether are you?
Mine is way down this week too. Initially I thought it was Swype, but not so sure anymore because no other users are reporting problems.
Are you using Modaco's rom and kernel ? or any new kernel for that matter? Ever since I switched kernels my battery hasn't made it through the day.

I'm using gbhil's custom kernel and seeing BETTER battery life when used with setCPU (using ondemand setting with 'standby/sleep' profile turned on, and set to 160/480).

No I'm not.. Turned a few more newer apps off and still no good today.. I was at 5% batt left after 9 hours with about 10 minutes web browsing (not wifi) 4 or 5 text messages and about 45 minutes talk time. That's down about 90% from were I was a week ago .
I managed to narrow my problem down to the Taskiller widget. Removed the widget (still running the app full time) and all is well.
Last night I rolled back to before I used a custom Kernel. I rather battery life over speed. I need my phone to last from 6am to at the very least 7pm. I think once people get over the performance boost, we'll see a lot more posts relating to battery issues.

might be that too, i hope not as i love that keyboard. just having it installed shouldn't drain the battery, should it? im on day 2 with the custom kernel and i too noticed more battery drain. at 1pm my hero was fully charged. i only played a bit with the phone and made two short calls and it's down to 86% already at 4pm. i want to roll back but i do like the speed of the new kernel. ill see how it does tonight.

Yeah going back to regular input sucks. Swype was only some leaked beta version, we don't really have right to complain; however, I bet their end product will be much better. I just hope they'll release it as an app and not as part of custom Android phone so we can get it sooner.
figured I woud resurect this thread rather than start a new one.
yesterday I decided to RUU my phone to pull the completely stock apks out of it. after I did that I restored my backup of fresh 1.1 with gbhils kernel and now I am at 90% awake time spare parts shows that "android system" as something keeping it awake. any suggestions on what this could be? could it have something to do with restoring the back up with the kernel over stock without a wipe?
Hi all,
I'm going to install fresh's 3.2.0.0 for my EVO. I'm wondering if someone can confirm the steps below:
(currently rooted 2.1)
Backup via titanium
Nandroid Backup
Clear Cache(s)
Add Fresh3.2.0.0.zip from root of SD Card
download Titanium and reload my backup
I've done this with CM and it works great, but I don't understand the signed/unsigned portion and want to make sure I understand the steps for this ROM.
Thanks in advance
That's just about the gist of it, only thing you didn't specify is you will want to be sure and wipe data along with cache and dalvik
cool, thanks for the quick reply!
Any idea how many people experience slow data rates with 3.2.0.0? That's my only concern at this point. Everything else seems legit.
I have been using it for the past two days.great battery life so far.I put it on my wifes phone today and think it is best to reinstall the apps from scratch rather than use titanium.I has some issues with using the backed up data.

I installed it yesterday while at work. This morning I unplugged at 6:30 and by 7:30 I was down to 67%. I immediately restored back to Evio and can't decide if I should try it again or not.

That's not the rom, it's something on your end. I get an average of 14-20 hours with the 2.2 fresh roms.

Thanks for the vote of confidence....all I did was install it. No apps, no tweaking, nothing.
You do know we're talking about Fresh 3.2 right? As in the donation only rom? Not 3.1.0.2 which I get just fine battery life out of.
It's a completely different kernal then the 3.1's. I have no justification for it, all I know is I had nothing on my phone, took a freaking shower and got my kids ready, got in my car and looked down to see the drain.

Ah well, I've never used those kernels. I always use netarchy. So, maybe I'm talking out of my ass but I'd still wager, a rewipe and reinstall might make a difference. I've just never had an issue with his Roms and it would shock me if he fell off like that all of a sudden.
OP, I haven't tried any of flipz's work on the EVO so I can't speak about it from experience.
All I can say is after much consideration I have officially become a fan of cyanogenmod. I do a lot of tweaking to get things the way I like but it's well worth the time and effort.
To anyone who doesn't get great battery life there are ways to identify rogue apps, don't want to derail the thread, but if you are sure you don't have any apps keeping your phone awake 100% of the time, and you're not spending a lot of "time without signal" and you still aren't getting great battery life then please do yourself the favor of using Juice Defender. I was reluctant to jump on the bandwagon but WOW. I consistent get 26+ hours on one charge. It basically DRASTICALLY reduces sleep time battery drain, which gives you more up time usage and lengthens the window of time before you have to recharge, and it does this without impacting performance. I'm sorry this sounds like a commercial for Latedroid but I'm just so amazed I can't help but mention it..

No, and I don't think he fell off either. He and his testers are getting day and a half batteries off the new Kernal. Like I said, I have no explanation, and it was not meant as a reason not to check it out.
I have no idea why, but my phone has seemed to be a quick battery drainer no matter what since the beginning. Should I be blaming my 002 build? Maybe.

Mine too, but i use it heavily... Leaving IM and such running etc.... But heres the thing, you should AT LEAST be able to get a very very good battery life when you are NOT using it.
If you can't charge your phone the night before, leave it unplugged overnight, and still have 85-95% in the morning, something is busted and you need to uber-wipe...or start running logs and figure out what is doing it....Make sure you have the latest recovery agent too, the earlier ones don't seem to be wiping cache correctly (leading to pri never getting updated, but that's for a different thread).
Really the reason people are excited about this rom/kernel is because battery drains slower even when you ARE using it. Light usage (not having an IM client running all the time) will yield you a solid day on this rom no question.
I got 12 hours of fairly heavy use yesterday and had about 15% left. I was using the latest Fresh 2.1 before with fresh-toast. I found with the 2.1 ROM and kernel, that ATK helped with battery life. I was also using Setcpu and slowing the processor down as the battery ran down.
With 3.2.0.0, I am not using ATK or Setcpu and got good battery life. I did a clean install of all apps and settings when I loaded the ROM. I think that using Titanium caused problems as some of the apps changed and the data that was saved did not play nicely with the updated apps.
I tried a rush job on my wife's phone and used the Titanium backup but ended up reinstalling everything cleanly on her phone because it was acting flaky.
Most of the time, when I have had really fast battery use, it is because some app is acting up and using a lot of CPU cycles or radio. I try to limit the number of apps on the phone to what I actually use to avoid problems.
you should be fine with that, but since it is a new release, i would limit the amount of backups you restore.

I used titanium after flashing 3.2 and had no problems. I only restore apps though, not data.
3.2 working great here, i'm at 14h 37m today with moderate usage and I leave FB, Twitter, News, Google etc... on to sync and also leave 4g on all day because I seem to be finding 4g all over the place lately. No complaints at all.
I have to say that I'm getting incredible battery life with this new ROM, and Pandora is back to sounding great too.
I had no problems with Titanium BK. I restored apps and data. Facebook was the only one I found that didn't come back. Had to d/l a version from market.
I was fully charged last night. Obviously it's just been sitting overnight, but I have news, FB, Twitter, and 2 mail programs on push. I'm at 50% at 12h 18m since unplugged.
So far great battery life!

Yes you should. The new kernel on Fresh has been yielding the best battery life out there, period. It's pretty unanimous.
those that have issues with Titanium back up I have posted several times what i do i have personally NEVER had an issue using it.
first if you are moving from an ASOP to sense or vice versus or from a 2.1 to sense and vice versus .. do not restore all system settings. I ussually dont recomend restoring all system settings unless you are restoring to the same rom.
you can normally restore apps + apps data though with out to many problems (the exception is setcpu if you have a kernel with diffrent oc settings).
So what i normally do is d a batch install all apps + data. I go in and uncheck setcpu. Restore all the apps. once that is finished i go to the back up and restore tab and go down and have it restore set cpu with out app data so that it will re-detect. i also have it restore my contacts and sms info from the settings files.
this will get you all your apps backed up contacts known wifi points and sms back with data. this procedure is a little more difficult then simply a single batch restore but it is much faster then reinstalling all apps manually or losing app data for those apps that need it.
sorry to simi hijack the thread but thought i would share my method. again i have not once had an issue using this method i also flash roms a LOT in my opinion.
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?

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 flashed Trigger Redux today... Having many force closes and super fast battery drain. Now that Ive dove into the 2.3 realm, is the CM7 builds any less quirky?
You've done something wrong. There should be no FC's. Build 16 is out too.
s15274n is right, sounds like something is wrong. I had a borked flash once, did a factory reset and it seemed to help out quite a bit. That is the easy fix, try it and if it works then great, otherwise flash again and revert back to stock first if you can for a clean install.
Thanks.. ill try flashing 16.
I'd say CM7 RC1 is your best bet. Ran Trigger previously and CM7 has been amazing--just a bit more refined (especially with glitch kernel).

Which voltage app do you use? Voltage Control or Pimp My CPU?
I'm not getting force closes though I am getting "program stopped unexpectedly" on trigger 16 ALL OVER THE PLACE. The browser is completely unusable, and my Gameloft games are saying they can't connect to internet or are not original copies. They are legit FYI! I will try a factory reset but I have my doubts.

That sucks that all that is happening to you. I'm on Trigger Redux build 15 and was on 14 and 13 and will flash 16. I have no problems at all. I have some battery drain but I also may need new battery and I use my phone very heavily.
I'd try to redownload the ROM, check the Md5 sum, and do an ODIN to stock, and flash the ROM again.
Better to start from scratch, make sure you get rid of all the ghosts and see if that fixes ya. If so then you know you had a borked flash or bug in your system
Well I'll be damned.... It worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Soooo I flashed Kernel and then installed Voltage Control.. dont know what settings I chose but it cause the phone to reboot and get stuck on the Glitch screen. Guess im taking a flight on Air Odin tonight...
If you're getting force closes go to
/data/app delete a couple of folders. That will stop the force closes.

make sure your min. cpu setting is 200. It comes stock with 100/1000. Bump the min. to 200 and you should be good to go.
im not sure when this started but it seems like every rom, every kernal i use now my phone will close apps to a black screen and freeze up for different lengths of time. was doing it in stock, and now a custom rom. tried different kernals... seems to be worse when the phone first boots up. its almost like a force close but slower and i don't get the force close message. help
Edit: ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?

I assume you already tried Odin to clear out any crap left right?

yeah odined to stock ec05 and it was just as bad. rebooting the phone actually made it worse... seemed like it took forever for everythign to stabilize. phone also seems to get hot but i could be wrong about that. not the battery but above the battery near the camera
Quite often this is caused by restoring old data over a new rom using a program like titanium backup. Sometimes you can get away with it between similar roms but restoring Froyo data on to a gingerbread rom will almost always cause lots of FCs.

Isn't the spot right above the battery where the chip is located? Have you been overclocking your phone like I have at 1400 everyday? I was wondering if I have been flashing too much. I saw some of these issues myself. Odin started freezing as well but it seems to have smoothed out. I thought I may have wiped out my phone

Ummm, I am kind of at a loss here. You don't have any physical damage to your phone? No serious drops? You didn't go swimming with it in your pocket? But seriously, I run at 1400/100 on demand all of the time and that spot gets hot on Gingerbread ROMs but not on Froyo unless I run a lot of video at 1400 max.

yeah i don't know what to think either. i guess when official gb finally drops i'll try one last clean install and if it keeps doing it i'm going to have to go through insurance

When did you purchase your phone? did this start to happen after you started loading custom ROMs or since the start?
What is your current setup right now? Do you use RFS or EXT4?
What hacks have you loaded to your phone, and after what even that you performed on the phone did you start experiencing this issues?

i've had the phone for a year. i've been doign roms for at least 6 months.. this only started in the last month on both rfs and ext4. i don't know what i did that could have done this.. honestly i started noticing it when i odined back to EC05 a few weeks ago. then i did an rfs rom, then drockstars kernal, now srf 1.2 and tz kernal. just seems to be getting worse and worse. to be honest it may have started after i flashed back from eh22
Are you on TW4 Launcher? That can cause phone to freeze.

i am actually.... although this started before the tw4 launcher. i guess i'll remove it for a while and see what happens. dammit i liked the tw4 launcher too
Don't use any CPU programs like setcpu, etc.. if not try wiping your sd card. Could just be your phone too.

I had this issue for a while and it caused me to leave to the iPhone, but now after months of waiting I am trying to bring my epic back
I will post my results I am going to try flashing back to stock and see it if can stay on for a day with out crashing....I'll be back with results in a day or 2
Mine does the same thing and it shuts off sometimes at 35% battery left. Just in the past month. Im stock not rooted. One more thing somedays i get 13 hrs of life and others like 6, same usage everyday and same area so service isnt the issue.

I had this same issue. I was to a point of chamging phones.
I decided to watch 5 different tutorials/youtibe videos on how to odin back to stock.
In that process, 3 of the videos had different options checked. Yes, I decided to try each way, restoring apps/data from Titanium, each time.
After the first 2 attempts, and still seeing the freezes, I started to get some kind of com.google.apps process force close errors.
I was really ready to beat my phone up at this point.
So, after deciding, I've had enough, I said I would do it ONE more time. (There was still one more checkbox that another video was showing...)

Sry, my fat fingers pressed submit.
Anyhow, Ive 0 programming experience so, all of this might kust be a lucky fluke. When I odin'd, I checked all three options. Re-Partition, Autoreboot, And F. Reset Time.
Only 1 video of the 4 I watched said to do this.
I then restored my apps and data back w/ Titanium.
I did make sure that any data from OEM apps, was not broight back, as a precaitonary on my part. It was really driving me nuts. Hope this helps....

crap well it wasn't TW4... uninstalled it last night. today rebooted and same thing.... its so strange it only happens the most after i reboot the phone. black screen with the status bar up top. if i touch the screen the button lights will come on ... if i swipe down the status bar it will eventually come down.. but with a ton of lag
i guess i'll nandroid backup and start from scratch with odin again. bone stock no root see what happens.
EDIT: just noticed that the modem seems to reset every time it does this. didn't see that before cause it doesn't always make the no signal sound. but the bars on the status screen go dark and the little x pops up above them before the home screen redraws. so basically whatever i'm doing goes to black screen.. times out for 10 min with just the bar on top, modem resets and goes back to the home screen
ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?
man this is nuts... i've got android system info running and i'm watching the processes tab... all the programs start usign memory, then android starts killing them off until they are almost all gone then i go to black screen... i dont' know what the hell is going on
edit: tasks is showing android.process.acore twice, package com.fede.launcher. both are using 34.89 MB and have cpu at 100... however total CPU usage is only showing 7%
