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 ...

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.
For the last week my nexus 7 has been completely dying around 50% battery. If its in sleep mode when it hits that % then it won't turn on, if I'm using it when I hit that % I get a weird flicker then it shuts off. This just seems extremely strange that all of a sudden only half my battery works. A long with only having half my battery to work with, it seems like the tablet has been charging a lot slower then normal. I use to be able to work it down all the time and usually didn't charge it until 5%-10%
Anyone else ever have this issue? I contacted Asus and there only solution right now was a factory reset. I cant see how that could fix the issue at all.

are you rooted? what type of kernel are you using?
I have read that sometimes a factory reset refreshes the battery settings. Is your device rooted or rommed out?

That happened to one of my friends S2's. Factory reset it. It worked for my friend. My N7 also charged really slow. I just changed the ROM. It is the same thing as a factory reset because you do one when you change your ROM.

As said before, try a factory reset !
If no luck there
Try download a battery calibration app to see if its mis-calibrated etc

Ouch ... bump charge it and wipe battery stats in recovery. Or maybe even do a fresh install. Sometimes that will fix it

Stop spreading that freaking lie. Wiping the battery stats doesn't do anything. Besides it is wiped every time the phone is charged to 100%. Don't believe me. Look it up, a Google engineer has posted this along time ago.

WIping battery stats is useful when installing a new ROM, so it can measure battery capacity better (extreme tl;dr version). Install BetterBatteryStats and look for unusual wakelocks and processes. Report back with what causes the issue and we will see. If you could include screenshots of BBS, that would be the best
You don't get it do you? It is wiped when you install a ROM. It is WIPED when you charge to 100%. The batterystats.bin has no effect what so ever on your wake locks, battery problems, or anything else you think it is related to. All it does is report to the settings what has been using the battery.

You know there are nicer ways to tell someone that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything . If it doesn't do anything than it shouldn't be in the options...period. I was trying to be helpful and offer a suggestion..and it couldn't hurt to try.
.. so whats your suggestion so no more "lies" get spread??
CWM is largely generic, so the Battery Wipe option is there whatever device. It is a waste of Dev. time to remove/customise for every device.
It doesn't do anything... in this case. It may on other devices.
But this is largely OT now... so back in the room.
It doesnt do anything for any device. A long time ago it was thought to do something. But a Google Engineer said otherwise pubically.

Check that android.process.media is not running and consuming 20% of CPU cycles. This process always runs when you restart the phone as it scans the phone's internal and external SD card for media files.

Seems like all the threads i read that mention this problem the user is running Omega rom 2.x.. Maybe its something the dev as added into the rom that is causing it to kill your battery..
Got. The solution just changed the kernel. To stock and everything is as good as it was

Hope this isn't a dumb question but after the EVO 4G I stepped away from android for a while (worst mistake ever) ....now that I am back I was curious, the way roms and kernels are being developed nowadays do you still need to calibrate battery after flashing new roms??
Never heard of battery calibration on any android phones in the past 2-3years...if ever.
Just let it drain from normal use to 15% then fully charge it.

I know a couple of years back or whenever the EVO was the big cheese you had to calibrate after flashing. Recoveries even had options for wiping battery stats. I just wasnt sure if it was an issue anymore. But thanks!
A battery is a battery. As far as I know its taken care of by hardware that is responsible for charging it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
These phones (Galaxy S models) take care of it themselves. All you do by calibrating is wipe the battery stats, but it won't provide any benefit.
Wow I havent heard anythong about battery callibration since forever ago xD I usually always flash roms on a full battery let them die then full charge for a couple days then start doing the testing of the rom!

I remember reading over in the sgs3 forum about wiping battery stats/ calibration was that it was proved it was all a myth. I'll have to look for it....
Omega v3.0, 3minit framework, kt kernel 2.2 Ghz
Calibrating your battery (or calibrating the software to correctly read your battery's charge) was something that needed to be done on the captivate (SGS1) after installing a new ROM but not on any of the galaxy phones since then. Even then the software would correct itself after a charge or two.
