Improved my battery life after leaked OTA

I thought I was losing my mind, after installing the OTA, I modified my qwerty.kl file to wake up the phone from the optical button. I noticed that my battery life was lousy, and originally thought it was because the OTA was buggy.
I restored the stock qwerty file, and no more wake-up from the optical button. My battery life improved drastically.
I heard that this change could prevent the phone from sleeping, thus the crappy battery life. Is this true?
Hope this tip helps.

Re
Anybody else have a faster draining battery because of the optical wake fix?

Could be just because you are accidentally hitting the optical trackball while its in your pocket or somewhere else? I use it on PMF's 2.2 ROM and haven't noticed any additional battery drain.

I think its because we are all forgetting to clear battery stats. It is even required on my rom, jdfroyo

What exactly does clearing the battery stats do? Do you think it would help me? If my phone completely dies or gets down to the low battery warning, the phone doesn't want to charge at all.
It says it is charging but the battery icon isn't animating and the charging led blinks repeatedly instead of staying lit up. Even if I shut the phone off the led still blinks while it's plugged in the charger.
I have to do several reboots and battery pulls to finally get the phone to start charging.
Didn't have any trouble until I applied the OTA and flashed a 2.2 rom.

this is very intriguing. i'll check my battery against my fiance's when she gets home and report. i did the optical_wake script on mine and not hers. i'm pretty sure she had 40% when going to bed last night and I was changing out my battery for my backup. i chalked it up to streaming the race for 30 minutes while we were out shopping, but I think the optical_wake script might make more sense.
PS. both have 1500mah HTC battery ordered from bidallies on ebay for $15 =).

No difference. Our batteries were within 5%. I guess flash vids are pretty taxing on our batteries.

Interesting....maybe I'm just losing my mind and imagining things?
Thanks for your update - after I install the new OTA leak right now, I'll see how my battery life is with the optical wake fix.

Check out jdfroyo when i update it. I tweaked it so you get 15-35 min more battery and no overheating!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Myself as well as many others would be interested to know what this tweak is to achieve better battery life.
Some of us out there actually like Sense - from what I understand, your ROM is de-sensitized?
Any chance you'll fill us in as far as what tweaks you've made? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would thank you.

Battery life stinks...

Hey guys what is up. I'm just wandering.. my Droid is brand new. Got it 2 days ago. Today I had to recharge my battery twice. I did use it a lot... so that may be it.. and when I didn't use it the battery life stayed the same for as long as I didn't touch the phone. Is my battery good? I got the app that tells me the temperature and everything. The hottest was 112F. It says my battery health is "good health". Will my phone hold a charge for a longer period of time after it has been charged then drained... and repeated. Does it just need to be broken in? Thanks for reading this whole essay I wrote you guys.. Haha. Well thank you so much again... and if you can please get back to me as soon as possible that would be great!

You should really search a little bit before you post. There are COUNTLESS threads on battery life.
Your best bet, until HTC fixes it, is to charge until the phone says you're at 100%, then turn it off and charge until the LED turns green. Charging and discharging really won't affect anything - their is no "memory" with their batteries.

Okay, thanks for the quick response. I appreciate it. Sorry. I should've read.. I was just a bit anxious. My apologies.

You could always trying running one of Hydra's Kernels as well. I don't know if anyone has gained better battery life because of doing so... I use his kernels for the features.

Check Settings > About phone > Battery and make sure up time and awake time aren't the same.
If they are the same, it means something is keeping your phone awake when the screen goes off, which drains battery.

I just got my Droid Incredible a few days ago too, and I knew coming into it that the battery life has issues from a lot of users, but man, it really sucks!
I have it fully charged at 8am, and by 3:30 (with very moderate use), it's already at 20%. I've disabled everything I can (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, live wallpaper, installed ATK and keep my tasks at none, etc), and still the same.
I really love the phone (it's amazing other than battery), but the battery life is such a big deal for me that I am really thinking about returning it and waiting for the Samsung Fascinate to come (hopefully sooner than later). Thankfully I have until Aug 30 to call Verizon and return the phone... i sure hope the Fascinate gets a definite release date by then.
I'm going to try the full charge + phone off + charge again to see if that improves things, but other than that, does anyone recommend the Seidio 1750mAh battery or the HTC Touch Pro2 OEM (1500 mAh) battery? Does it make that much of a difference?
I read the findings on batteryboss.org, and it appears that the TP2 battery was better but the Seidio battery they tested was a used one, so it wasn't a fair comparison.
Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I purchased a 2150 mah battery from verizon and i can say I wont be having battery issues.. that is one option, but you wont find a case that fits your phone, that is the only downfall

I was just reading reports about the new Facebook app...looks like they are working on that fix if you use that and it is causing a battery drain
http://www.androidcentral.com/facebook-confirms-battery-drain-latest-android-update

Uninstall the 1.3.0 facebook app RIGHT AWAY if you downloaded it. That destroyed my battery life yesterday and I have never had battery problems with my DInc.
You can just use the regular HTC Facebook app until an update is released for the facebook for android.
Try it without the new facebook for a day and see if it changes.
If you don't have the facebook app then just make sure bluetooth, gps, wifi are off when you aren't using them. I recommend trying bump charging but I've never personally and my phone lasts about 26-28 hours+ with mild to heavy usage depending on the day.

Thanks for the replies..I don't use Facebook so that wouldn't be my problem.
I think ATK is good.. I mean I don't have it on auto so I sometimes just kill all tasks and I have noticed any decrease from the already poor battery performance.

I have a Sedio 1750, which I bump charge every morning, and UltimateJuice set to turn on APN every 5 min for 30 sec or until data transfer is done. WiFi is used whenever possible and otherwise turned off.
I easily make it through the day and have battery to spare with moderate to heavy use.

Phone battery drains quickly

Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.

My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.

Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.
Vibe the XDApp

I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

Yep, I can say it TRULY sucks. Dual core processor and 4g doesn't help though. Also motoblur I think constantly syncs your facebook crap when you don't know it.

Been there and fixed it on my device. Check the battery usage stats. If there is a motorola.services process using the most battery, it is likely one of your sync accounts causing the drain. Does it get really warm when you are not using it?

If we get unlocked bootloader will we beable to take off motoblur and put better stuff on

Yeah, too bad you have to mod the device to get better battery life. Atrix battery life is amazing.
OP, if you're at 50% at two hours, you're probably playing heavy games with a live wallpaper running and your phone min/maxed in SetCPU. I've gotten two days without a charge on a stock Atrix. My Cm7 Inspire still has worse battery life.

My phone was actually just reflashed and i was in church for an hour and it was already at 60 came home made a couple of calls and i had 50% .... my sister has inspire and hers lasts longer then mine!

I have the Bell Atrix version. Hopefully Bell gets the same battery upgrade as the AT&T users recently had received. I could probably use that extra 10-15%. With that said even in its current state, this phone is still waaay better than my HTC phones in terms of battery life.
If HTC could give us better battery, I'd probably go all HTC. Unfortunately battery means more to me than mods...

LG GT540 battery drain very fast

I have LG GT540 with android 2.3.4 cyanogen and the battery is just getting drain to fast ( its new battery) .when i go to battery use i saids that android system use 99-100% of battery waht its not normal ( my friend has about 7-8% use) and she last for 1-1.5 hours with normal work ,in idle about 4 hours till battery drops dead.

Did you wipe data when updating to 2.3.7? If not, try it (maybe also without restoring stuff from backup, if wiping+restore does not help)

yes i always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache so tahts not issue,can i format SD card is she a problem maybe?

what worked for me
Hi
I wanted to thank for Zoe Rom on its thread, but i cant write on developer's threads yet (altough i clicked thanks button there).
Im glad i finally got rid of my memory hogging default rom and now i have a properly working phone again!
Also i wanted to reply there (to some people also complaining about battery endurance on GT540 on Zoe Rom) how i fixed my battery main problem.
Pic of current battery drain:
http://postimage.org/image/d8o8uusd7/
As you can see i am aproximatelly at 50% battery after 1day and 11h of not charging.
I had 2 problems:
1- Battery lasted aproximatelly 5 hours on standby (and i mean i wouldnt even touch the phone and the battery was gonne after that time)
2- During intense battery drain usage, the battery was reporting to have less energy than what it actually has.
1st problem solved by simply turning off the wireless after im done with using it. No idea how could that be taking away so much energy, but it was. Somewhere during the period i was using my default rom i got used to have wireless always on, and my battery on the later times was going away faster than normal (i also like to listen to music on the phone). At the time i didnt correlate the 2 things, and i just put in my head that it probably was the battery dieing on me. It wasnt! The wireless (i suppose because of the Sync function also being on) has been draining my battery like mad between charges.
2nd problem persists. As you can see on the pic, those 2 spikes down correspond 2 diferent aproximatelly 1 GB file wireless transfers with Wifi File Browser app. This transfers (PC->Phone) make the phone CPU have to unzip the two 1GB files to the SD, so they are very CPU and SD card read/write intensive (i can force this battery drops with other instense battery use like playing a 3D game for example). The thing is if during that temporarly drop on the battery level measurement, the level hits 5%, the phone will shutdown. But to be honest, this problem is minor comparing to the 1st one.
There is one other minor problem with my battery, wich is the reading being inconsistent (drops 10%, then gains 15% then drops 5% again etc), but is this a problem at all?
I read a post of a guy that had made extensive testing to his battery cycles, providing loads of graph of battery levels (cant find link) . I didnt read through all of it, but i remember the guy saying something in the end like "Dont be too paranoid with your battery levels, as they arent accurate. Instead use your phone normally and you will gain an idea of how long will it last with certain types of usage"
By the way, he also said for people to just charge their battery whenever they could/wanted as it has no negative impact on battery life. I also read a bit of a paper on lithium-ion batteries stating the same, so no more forcing full-discharges for me!
One last thing! Deleting the batterystats file is as simple as disconnecting your phone from the charger.Why? because that file serves solely the purpose of suplying the UI with info of the battery drain usage on the current battery cycle.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And you can confirm this if you unplug your phone while looking at yout battery stats.
I hope this helps
PS: pls notice that it could have been not the wireless itself that causes the battery drain, but some service using the wireless. Finding this would require more extensive testing.

Some people says that this does not work, but it worked for me. This procedure extended m battery life from 5h to 2 days..

Update
Hello again
I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.
Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.
I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol
With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.

I've have had similar problems with the battery on my GT540 with all cyanogenmods - 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2. There were no such problems with original 2.1 I think it is the price for the newer versions, I can live with that, I don't have to buy new phone
