I just got the X10 a few days ago and i'm loving it.
Apparently the problem is battery life.
Right now I have Dooms kernel with Wolfs ROM and is draining about 10% on very low use.
I have wiped battery stats and tried to calibrate the battery but no help.
Under battery usage I have display @ 54%, Cell standby @ 26%, phone idle 19%.
While being off charger for 30 minutes the screen has been on for 3 minutes and is on lowest brightness.
Could my battery be dying since I bought it used and the person before had it for about a year.
Should I use a different ROM?
Thanks for your help!

I am running CM7 on a D2 and i am experiencing pretty short battery life. I went from Liberty 2.0 rom on froyo last week, and upgraded to GB and flashed CM7.
I have barely used it much today for example. Took it off the charger at 6:30am have done nothing more than sent a few texts and browsed a website for about 10 mins. It is 10:30 and i am already at 70%
I did a proper battery stat reset this past weekend also.
(i have also been getting a lot of random force closes)
since i cannot post pics here's relevant info...
Android version - 2.3.5
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-gca08d89
Mem Info - 214/475
Mod version - CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC0-DROID2-KANG
Build Number - GRH78C
Battery info...
Display - 42%
Phone Idle - 18%
Cell Standby - 15%
everything else is under 8%, Android OS and System at 2%
CM7 GB Battery Issues
I am having this problem as well. Ever since I rooted and installed Rev's CM7 GB build a few days ago battery life has been much worse. I tried installing Jake's Mods V13 but if it is helping it is not helping alot. Yesterday, made 2 short phone calls, sent 3-4 texts, browsed web for maybe 10 minutes total, and was on tweetdeck for maybe 15 minutes. By end of the day was down to 30% battery. Pre-root and CMY probably would have been about 60% - 70%. Here are the battery stats when plugged it in at bed time last night:
15h 16m 23s on battery
Cell Standby 55%
Phone Idle 19%
Display 13%
Voice Calls 9%
Android OS 2%
TweetDeck 2%
Has anyone figured out a solution to this? Really liking CM7 but I am afraid to play a game or something on the phone because I'm afraid I will run out of juice!
CM7 does have a shorter battery life than stock and some other ROMs. It's still the best ROM and it will eventually be back to better battery life. I use SetCPU and JuiceDefender.
Should I go into the CPU settings on my phone to find ways to increase my battery life? If so, which setting should I alter?
I have been using the 1Ghz/undervolt option in Jakebitesmod along with Juice Defender and it seems to be helping. Battery will usually last me all day with moderate use.
You might want to try SBFing back and starting from scratch. I was on Liquid 3.0 and has atrocious battery life due to the 'Idle' process and was seeing 10-15% battery life drop each hour when there was absolutely no use.
I switched to CM7 and things were much happier. Maybe 10% loss after 4 hours idle. FB app did drain the battery once but I think I backed out of it while it was loading so it was trying to load GPS or something but outside of that no battery life problems what so ever.
Like most of my fellow XDAers, I've been struggling with battery management issues. What apps to install, CPU hogs and all that jazz.
However, while I've been very pleased with the battery life I was getting from my U8800, I saw several guys complaining of horrible battery performance. I thought that they were just 'doing it wrong'...
I now wonder...
Since November I started noticing strange battery issues. Very fast draining, misleading battery readouts... I wiped my device, flashed it with pretty much all roms (custom and official) available but my battery kept screwing me. And its been worse as time gone by! I now hardly get 8 hours with at most 1 hour of usage.
I'm now posting this after calibrating my battery 4 times the day before and the first time I used our today my battery life went from 100% to 82% in less than 5 minutes! CPU spy reports 85% of deep sleep. Better battery stats has hardly anything logged. I already ordered a new battery but if this keeps going on...
Thoughts?

Why did you calibrate 4 times? How did you calibrate it?
Charge it to full, calibrate battery using app/recovery/deleting batterystats.bin, leave it to totally discharge, fully charge. It is not calibrated until you go through a couple of charge/discharge cycles.
I am running CM10.1.3.1 with the nitest 7/20/2013 kernel and FC19 modem, on an Onite 1900 mAH battery.
I used many of the tips in this post;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
10 hours overnight with minimal usage, my battery now drops to 78% and shows 4 days 15 hours of similar usage before the battery will be drained fully. I've never, since buying the phone new, had better than 26 hours of stand-by time show up with a fully charged battery. I'm now showing 5 days.
Of course, screen usage is still the big impact, so actually using the phone drains it just as fast, but it is nice to know that, if I am not using it, I don't have to keep it plugged in all the time now.
I could be completely wrong about this but...
Have you been rebooting your phone? From what I've read rebooting the phone can throw off the battery stats. Basically the battery storage and usage is all the same its just the reporting thats off. I'm guessing battery stats get readjusted over time if the phone remains powered on.
I have a feeling that my battery life is way less than it should be. I have a Zerolemon 10,000 mAh battery. Most days I don't use my phone much during the day, except for playing a game for maybe a total of 1h 30m throughout the day. Latest one I've been playing is Fallout Shelter.
So in a full day, 5:40am to 7:00pm, I'm down to literally 20%. It feels like I have a stock battery.
Anyone else experience the same issue? I'm afraid my battery may be defective.
You should check the overall SOT. You should get around 10 hours of SOT with that battery. Of course, if the game is very demanding, the battery will drain much faster., as both the CPU and GPU will use more power.
Normally it should go down 1 % every 10 minutes of SOT (normal usage like browsing) and about 1% every 3 hours of idle.
Yesterday I got about 25 % life, today so far I'm at 55 %. I have not played the game since day before yesterday. You must be right about the demand of the game. The note 3 seems to have a very demanding chipset. Even my 10,000 mAh battery cannot keep up with its demand.
My stock battery gives me arround 4.30h Sot on wifi almost min brightness. Is it normal or defective ?
Firmware is 4.4.2
I'm starting to think this is normal usage on our phones. Today I managed to figure out part of my crazy battery usage. It has to do with a kernel wakelock. Bluesleep is the culprit, causing the phone to never go into deep sleep. I followed the guide in the description of this video and it has allowed my phone to enter deep sleep. I've also been using Juicedefender to manage WiFi, Mobile Data and Bluetooth. With all of this in mind I managed to keep my battery usage in check since a few days ago.
In the picture below you can see the list on the left, and how long each condition has lasted.

What is this eating my battery. Every time its available , i monitor cpu usage and i find it at 100% .happens every few days. A reboot fixes it temporarily
Post your battery life at full charge
24hours 45min, 5hours light, 18hours idle
What is your battery life?
There is a dedicated battery life thread

Ok thanks I've been on accu battery and it says I get 24hous sleep 5hours with light and 18hours idle I thought there was something up with my battery life so I wanted to know other people's benchmarks. 5 hours didn't seem like much to me...
hello
is it bad?
