Hello everybody! I've installed all CyanogenMod (6 and 7) and every time battery drains fast!
Now i'm trying CM7 RC3 and charged to 100% at 18.15.
At 20.00 battery is 84%!
I've installed some software with 3g and Wi fI but I think is not regular.
Any ideas?
Thank you all.
Clear batt stats under recovery.
Done on 100% charge. Nothing changes. Do I wipe when charhe is 0?

I read a thread was about launcher problem. Maybe you can try launcher pro or other launcher. Adw may drain your battery

With battery wipe and charging phone swtched off seems to be a little bit better. Yesterday I flashed new radio and firmware and battery goes to 29%. On phone reboot battery was 50 %! Now is 8 and am approaching to wipe battery near 0. Thank you for your comments.

So im on TDJ RC0 CM7.2 (1-11-12) or maybe its 1-10-12 idk, any ways...i calibrated my battery today because i have noticed a significant loss of battery life on this rom (12 hours vs 18 on the 12-30 version and 25 hours on faux123's AOSP). (i over clock to 1.1 with darkside govenor). annyways, the issue is, i drained my battery to 0% and plugged it in for about 1 minuet. i turned the phone on and the charger fell off but what i noticed is that my battery percentage was at 20%. this does this also when im normally charging my phone. ill plug it in like at 30% restart and then it will say charged about 5 min later. i know for a fact my phone isnt charged . so can any one shine some light on what this could be? any help would be appreciated
I've been having a problem with my battery as well. It drains too quick. It last me 12 hours but that was me trying not to use it as much as I regularly do. I did a battery calibration but I haven't seen any difference...

hmm well maybe its an issue with the kernel or something who knows, ill probly flash back to 12-30 and report back. its a shame though, i love the holo lock screen!
By the way I'm using a different from, I'm on the ICS . But my battery has been draining fast every time I flash a rom it seems. 2 roms ago I was good but now with the same way I've always used my phone it'll probably last me 5 hours smh that's horrible:/

1. Don't reboot while charging. I always have issues with battery life when I do that.
2. I would do a FULL wipe (boot, data, system, cache) and flash the ROM again from a full charge. Then let it drain completely before putting it on the charger. Don't worry about wiping your battery stats. Just use this method. In principle its the same thing.
For what it is worth, I also noticed similar changes between the 7.2 12/30 release and the latest. I did however start charging while rebooting at some point so maybe that has something to do with it - the phone locks up on one of my chargers, but is fine if you take it back off. I did not experience the 5 min charge phenomena but I will look for it.
I reflashed with full wipe and will let you know if I notice anything ...

Looks like I am back on track for ~ 18 hrs since I did full wipe and flash.
4EXT touchcovery - wipe all except for sd card - love that touchcovery!

If you're using clockworkmod recovery, go to mounts and storage. You will see options to wipe boot and system partitions there.

How long did you have your phone off for? Did you have data and wifi on? IV been running my phone fresh from last nights flash of faux123's rom and I'm 18 hours of normal use (wifi 4g screen at medium brightness web browsing) battery hasn't really been calibrated yet

Charge time was overnight.
I haven't touched any settings such as screen OC/UV or anything, haven't got around to that. I never worry with calibration.
Used Wifi at home and I left it on by accident at work for ~6 hours with no connection so might have lost some juice there.
Listened to music for 1/2 hour, took about 10 pics, some with flash, emailed pics. Phoned wife or received about 10 calls, not on wifi. Sent some mms. Used guitar tuner. Updated cloudlist for groceries a bunch of times. Played one game of word scrambler. Used flashlight briefly etc.. might have forgot some ... and of course took some screenshots of battery usage and emailed them ... so nothing too heavy but was using phone. - I know, get a life right?
At any rate, pretty pleased. As to the previous reported problem of battery percentage after 5 minutes, I tried to recreate but could not. Charging seems normal and battery life is good.
Hmm well officially I got 19 hours with normal semi heavy use so did you do a full wipe or just data cache and delvic? I'm gunna let the rom settle for a day or so before make a good judgment

I use 4EXT touchcovery. I chose the option in there to wipe everything except for SD card, which is what I now use when swapping ROMs.
In fact this is the first time I had issues with a ROM and it was the first time that I only wiped cache and Dalvik - since I figured it was a patch only, going from from the 12/30 release to the latest. Going back to doing full wipes from here on out.

Go here: http://4ext.net/ there is a free version and a paid version. From within the application you can always download the latest version or touchcovery from with the the app.
Touchcovery thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402820
IMHO although in beta still, there are really no major issues.
Note that you can always go back to CWM if you want ... try it and you will see.
To do sufficient wipe in CWM you would wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik. ... but try 4EXT .. you will like it.
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.......

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?

Of course who wont want better battery
I am used to bad battery life (My optimus 3D barely lasts a day). I was just a little surprised with bad battery life on gt540 after installing a custom rom. Thanks for the answers.

do a full wipe and reflash the rom
charge to 100%
than use a battery calibration tool
see if it works
otherwise, full wipe and another rom
When I put the phone on charge the percentage doesn't increase however it shows the charging symbol

Try Juice Plotter to monitor your batter use over time.
Did you ever leave your phone in a very hot place such as inside your car?
I've had the same problem after leaving my DHD in my car in the blazing hot sun, and it cooked up the battery which stopped providing correct battery info to the phone.
I've replaced my battery and the problem solved
