Should a new thread be made for Darkyy's rom battery drain discussion?
Would it be of any benefit?
Would it help keep the Darkyy rom thread cleaner for actual glitches / problems, and stop posts getting lost in a mine filed of battery trolling?
Darkyy would love to hear what you think mate .
There are plenty of battery drain threads out there but because people are using Darkyy's rom they feel they should post about it in the rom thread, instead of using the already available battery drain threads.
Vote and discuss please.
yes i think it should be investigated seperately from the rom thread , i dont think its the common battery issues people have . i think its a bug it the rom . take my experience with it for example
flashed from darky 8.0 to 9.0
did a wipe beforehand
within less than 12 hours the phone would not boot due to battery flat .
this was from a fully charged battery , with maybe 30 mins use at most .
went back to v 8.0 np at all
Those said said no, can we know why you disagree?
Flashed darkyy 9, I can go 3 days without charging ... tho I will admit i'm not a overly heavy user, and the phone is on wifi the entire time.. at the end of the 3 days i'm around 20% battery, so I find no drain problem here.

I personally don't believe its a problem with the rom at all other wise EVERYONE would have it which they don't. I can get about 3 days out of v9.1.

I get 1day and a few hours from it. 3 days if i dont use the phone at all

Are you using speedmod or voodoo?
Have you wiped the battery stats?
Did you do a wipe when you flashed to 9.1?
V9.1 carries over the battery stats from which ever rom you was using before i believe so there should be absoloutley no difference to your battery.
Theres an infinate amount of anomolies it could be theres no way to pin point the exact problem people have.
I have yeat to calibrate my battery, but indeed there is some kind of battery drain - no sync / no wifi and my battery goes down in around 12 hours. Still dont blame the ROM though, until I invesitigate and find the root cause for certain.
the battery jus drains quick in all darkys rom..the rom is gud but battry is a big issue.galaxy is kool wiv its color display but wats the fun wen u make a rom thts blacky jus to juice battry.but those who want snappy fast rom the darky is best.ive tested almost all diff roms an som r gud.everyone has a own choice.....
... and I'm sure someone will come soon and yell: Wrong forum section!

LOL yeah im waiting for that too mate.
At the end of the day though it would be better left here to stop flooding the rom thread.
People wont go to 2 different forums for one problem.
They will just keep flooding the rom thread...
Did you vote btw Darkyy? XD
actually with a fresh flash of 2.2 followed by 9.1 i see 3 times better battery
normal 2.2 lasted 3/4 a day
now 9.1+SO4_7_4 tests showing huge battery savings
will need a few days to give a detailed feedback on batt

that's a good idea..
think i'll try it too..
i said no because i get very good battery life with normal use - about 20-30 hours before it goes to 0.
9.1 with speedmod here, 1 day at most, no matter if I use or don't use the phone. Battery drain approx. 12% per hour, no matter if wifi is on or off...
Tried clearing battery stats, flashed wifi fix, removed self-updating widgets, no effect...
No offence but, dont we have enough Battery Drain threads around here? Im pretty sure we dont need rom/kernel specific battery drain threads, main thread will be spammed with it regardless of having this one (most of people around here are lazy to even read first post in the thread).
i was on darkys 9.1 and i found my battery drained quick, where as 8.0 was good
i dont use my phone much, i only use wifi when i need it, i only use gsm no 3g ever. everytime my phone goes back into my pocket i close all my apps thru task manager. bluetooth never gets used. i dont watch movies or play music. the only thing i do is play angry birds (that hammers my battery)
i still feel my battery life is poor and i have done all the methods to save its life like automatic brightness and NoLed ect.
shedding some light on this matter would be great... i think samsung should do something more about this... they can cram all this stuff into a tiny device, but yet they cant make a battery last more than 1-2days.
we can put a man on the moon... but an increased battery life is mind boggling ????

haha true
Too many variables. Everyone sets their phone up differently. I have been having pretty good battery life on 9.1 but I installed DU meter & I lost 40% in 3hrs. Its all dependant on whats running.
I dont see this as a ROM problem personally.
Hello All,
I noticed there are a lot of posts regarding Battery Usage & Optimization...
I tried many many combinations of custom roms, basebands and kernels and I always face the same battery problem especially when 3G/MobileData is switched on.
I admit that Sony Ericsson gave us a ****ty stock rom with poor kernel however It's still the best rom in managing battery usage.
I made a small comparison on Stock rom VS Custom roms with 3G/MobileData left switched-on and I found the following:
Custom rom(s): battery drain down very fast it goes for 100% to 1% in less than 8 hours (normal apps installed)
Stock rom: battery lasts for 2-3 days with normal daily phone usage (same apps installed as i did in custom rom)
Please share your opinions.
Thanks,
Ayman
I don't agree at all...
Custom roms can have just as good, if not better, battery life.
I personally think this was a good idea. Nice post and info. Just curious, how long did you do this study with the data you got?

Thanks Voelker BTW this is my first Thread in XDA, I used to use SE 2.1 stock rom till the first stable Froyo custom rom came out. I switched to Froyo then I started to notice this around 4 months ago and I tried many combination and a lot of optimizations to find out the best one although Stock rom was always better.
@fiscidtox:
I love Foryo and GB much much more than Eclair I currently on CM6 v6 Wolfbreak
Could you please tell me how the battery lasts on your custom rom while MobileData is left switched-on?
Thanks,
Ayman
I get a full day..
If you mean stock with no tweaks then maybe it would last longer, but a lot of that would be not having jit enabled...

You must be doing something wrong!
10% in 20 mins isn't normal.
I'm sure if you left it settle this would rectify itself though.
I think the biggest advantage of the stock kernel so far is stability, but the ongoing development for the custom kernel is sucessful to implement some problems such as battery drain caused by unability to go into deep sleep etc..
I never understood needing more than 24 hours on a charge. Charge it while you're sleeping you wont be using it then anyway.
Even if you like the 2.1 Stock ROM for any reason (Stability,Battery,etc) and don't like all these awesome 2.2 and 2.3, you should at least use Eric's JET ROM which is based on the original ROM has no stability issues and has faaaaar better battery life.
But seriously, I`m using Custom ROMs since the first 2.2 ROM by Z and never even cared to get back to the stock ROM.
When I use Wifi custom roms have almost the same battery life as the stock rom. But since I can't connect to wifi at work on any custom rom, im forced to use 3g.. and I need to charge my phone twice a day with almost no usage.

Let it settle for at least two days to see improvement.
Your battery needs to adjust, much like letting your phone build a cache, in order to really see how the rom will effect anything.
Im using the stock rom and my battery lasts a maximum of 2 days with this tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934486
I dont use 3g at all and i use wifi sometimes (session lasts only 10 mins or so)
Brightness is set to "middle" also
Sorry dont agree..
I use wolfbreaks latest rom with the undervolt module.
Juice defender only enables my wifi when i am at home...all other times i have data on with facebook sync.
I now get the same battery life as i did on stock 2.1
Currently I have been unplugged for 1day and 12 hours and I am still at 38%.

Hi guys i know there are lots of similar posts about battery life etc but cant find the answer im looking for after a search of this forum as all answers seem to be on rooted devices, she does not want her x8 rooted and im really getting it in the neck for upgrading her in the first place lol.
My girlfriend recently got the 2.1-update 1 via pc companion and thats when the battery problems started. The battery drain problem has actually been getting progressively worse since this. This morning (after yet another full night charging 100%) after 30 mins of getting up today the battery was down to 83 %. I have already uninstalled maps updates, not that she ever used it anyway.
So my question is : is there a solution to this without rooting and/or having a custom ROM? becuase she making my life a misery lol.
Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the similar post

Well, 1st thing as Dx said. reboot after using wifi, 3g, music. reboot to make everything fresh.. but there's no other way to save battery without rooting I think. because I helped my gf installed a custom ROM for her and she said that the battery life changed, and it's way different than a original ROM. How come she doesn't wanna go custom? Sorry for my bad english.

Nah, rooting makes the difference. IMO Froyo ROMs have good battery life.
Well i think she might well have to go custom because the battery life is a joke now, nearly rendering her device unusable, think she just frightened cos i did her pc companion update and kinda blames me for the crap battery now, il have a read around the x8 forum on how to root.
Thanks everyone, apreciate it
Just try to keep off all things you don't need: Wifi, Bluetooth, Synchronization, 3G. also unninstall apps you don't need and do not use app killers to save RAM.
I think that is all you can do without rooting.

My friend, less RAM is actually a good thing. I've read through the web. just don't auto kill ALL the apps, kill those apps that when it doesn't look right or freezes. The more RAM you freed, the more battery it will drain. Serious.

I'm just a noob trying to help.
use a task killer and disable all what you don't need like bluetooth, data traffic, gps and wifi. yes i know my english is bad^^
disable wifi, gps, bluetooth and data traffic. stock 2.1update rom should get you about 3 days with those disabled. any apps that need them will ask you to switch them on again anyway. It's a little annoying to get used to at first especially when you're used to a fone that lasts a week without charge so I can understand how she feels especially if she only wants to text and do a few calls.
If you don't use wifi, 3g gps and rest of the s**t you should probbably buy a dumy phone.
With some "normal" usage you can be happy if it lasts for a day/day and a half.
2-3 is really success.
You do get a charger in the box with the phone you know?
Use your phone, stop wasting time on battery monitoring.

yeah but the idea is it's a MOBILE fone.. You dont want it plugged into the damn socket all the time!
If you need to use the GPS, WIFI etc. the app will ask you to switch it on so wheres the harm in turning it all off until it's required if it saves having to plug the thing in every day?!?
Nobody stated you should keep all the functions on.
But it should be understandable that, with some "normal" use, and by normal I mean regular texting, phonecalls, check facebook/twitter, refresh weather app, read mail and some news maybe you can't expect your battery to last 7 days like on dummy nokia.
Besides, you all forget that your biggest battery killer is the screen.
And another thing I noticed; when LED starts to glow green, your battery isn't fully charged. Check phone status. It becomes green after passing 90% I think, or so.
And the second thing I noticed is a HUGE differenc when charging the phone while it's on, for a hour and a half when the battery metter reaches 100% and when I turn it off and leave it charging over night.
The "night" option proved to be a lot better (battery lasts longer, doesn't fall so fast) + Every once in a while it is good to fully discharge the battery and then fully charge it.

Yeah, but that mobile phones have long since ceased to be just phones.
Switch off everything you can : wifi, brighteness, gps etc. Also you can make a profile "screen off " in setcpu and set it to 122mhz . it will save you a lot of battery! It drains just 1% after 5 hours ( but i didnt use my phone) . Hope it help.
Oh yeah and use the app called " fast reboot " it is so good is well and it speed up our lovely x8
When i used these things , my phone lasts in a week or more of.course i nearly didnt use my phone.

Seeing as I don't have enough posts to post over in the development forum, I thought I'd hijack this thread.
I installed this rom last week and at first, the batter was brilliant. It lasted for three days but now I have to charge it twice a day. I have bluetooth off, wifi off more often than not, brightness down very low.
The phone was 5hrs on battery and was down to 44%.
Cell Standby: 35%
Display: 20%
Phone Idle: 19%
Launcher Pro: 13%
Anyone have any ideas?
I also experienced the same problem ... especially with the overclocked conditions
Nothing
Don't mad at me if I said wrong ................
Why battery life so fast?
- Because all of we are installing( flashing ) every roms that we like......
- The first time when you change your phone's version , that time is not much for your battery....
- But when you flash one after one , it effects on battery life...... you know why?
- Because All of we want to try every rom ( the main problem is we want stable rom for daily use )
-If this rom not stable or get FC want to change another rom... some they don't want to fix that problem including me
-How to fix battery problem?
It's simple
If you have stable rom for daily use , buy New battery (original battery)
and if you want to use for changing rom u use old battery , and you think it's stable rom, put new battery ,,,,,,,
I think I solved battery drain problem
Hit Thanks If I help you
I will 8plain why I say for some almost every roms ..... After I cameback from my work
I can't see the text behind the smiles...
I have a better solution... don't flash a new rom every week, flash one and stick with it.
Also let me be the first ass to say WRONG SECTION!

Interesting use of Smiley faces here...
well man, i don't know if you tried this but... in market there's an app called, battery calibrator, is obvious what it does, isnt it? ok, if you follow its directions you're gonna have a good battery life, sometimes removing battery stats from xrec manually does not work very well, but, if you do it through this app, it works very good, just charge your phone until it gets 100%, click on calibrate (into the app, it removes battery stats), then unplug phone, use it until it drains the whole charge of the battery, i mean until it turns off, if you really needed that calibration, you're gonna realize that the last 10% lasts, foreveeeeeeer, what does it mean? that our phones, never get the true 100%, maybe it gets about, don't know, 90% but, the OS thinks it is fully charged, so it begins to stop charging. When the phone is turned off, charge it (i dont know if turned on or off, i do it off, the app does not say it) until it gets 100%, then turn it on, enjoy.

and they feel rom is so fast but battery life very fast finish....
then they think this rom we cannot use because battery life no good
then they changed another rom like Achotjan's rom again....
So ...... battery life is slowly and slowly down after rom and rom......

Ok, my battery(atleast I believe it's my battery) is having a serious issue, so hopefully someone will be able to help me out on this one. After flashing multiple roms and such over time now, this has never happened till now, basically whats going on is my phone will be completely charged, then ill unplug it and mess around with it for a short time then say the battery percentage is at 75% well randomly the phone will just completely shut off. When turning it back on the battery will be completely dead, or on occasion it will either be slightly the same percentage or lower, but most of the time completely dead. Ive been running the same old stock evo battery since the day the evo came out and im currently running Gruesomwolf's shooter e3d rom which ironically this all started happening the first time I flashed it. So hopefully someone can help out with this, been thinking the battery is just done for, but im not sure. So I figured i'd ask for some help and opinions on what to do haha

since no one's said it, I think your battery is pining for the fjords.
Might want to clear battery stats and charge to full once while the phone is turned off, but I really think daisies are being pushed up...
Check and clean the contacts on both the battery and on the phone itself, being careful not to short the battery while cleaning it. Then, reinstall the battery and make sure theres not too much or any play where contact may be lost. If you do that and still have a problem, its definitely new battery time.

your battery might be dead but you should either try 1 of 3 things first:
1 - you can calibrate your battery
2 - Flash a new Kernel
3 - Flash a new Rom
you may find aosp roms/kernels in the link in my sig, if you are interested. hope i helped ^_^

Sounds like its toast to me as well. But you can try calibrating like others have mentioned just for sh*ts and giggles. It may or may not help.
Unplugging your battery and dropping a ton of percentage...that's normal with most evos...lack of an SBC kernel

If u clean the contacts use a qtip and 91% rubbing alcohol. Let it sit for 30 mins so the alcohol can completely evaporate. Then charge til green light with phone off, boot into recovery wipe battery stats, and cache and dalvik while ur there, reboot to phone run it completely dead recharge to green while phone is still off. Use like normal afterwards if battery is still acting up time to euthanize it and get a replacement
Edit: by 91% alcohol I mean the bottle says 91% on it not like 91% alcohol mixed with 9% water its the purest alcohol u can buy at the store

Having this issue too after installing CM a few days ago. My extended 3500mAh dies out a few hours quicker than with stock. I heard Tiamat and Savages Zen kernels help battery life. But having major problems trying to flash it.

Using Clockwork Mod here. Even then on having major issues getting into recovery. Stalls at the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen every single time. No matter what method I try.
