Hello there guys.
I have a really HUGE problem with my battery.
I have the infitum rom, and my battery life is very VERY low.
At 8:00 in morning, I had 100% battery life, ONE HOUR later ( At 9:00) I had 70% battery life.
This is very weird, my battery is getting to 0% after couple hours if i'm not playing games or hearing music.
This thing is not the rom problem, I have tried slims and Doc's master, same battery life.
How I can fix / increase it?!
Please help me.. :O
thank you.

Depends by your phone's usage, if you don't use much your phone but still the battery dies after some hours, you should try re-flashing everything with the wipes

Hi to all....
I just wanted to know how much battery drain you guys have cause my galaxy's battery barely even lasts for a day even though i've calibrated the battery(not just once)!!! :S
Please post your drain if you can and with what type of usage you do cause my drain is insane!!!!
Multiple battery drain posts all over the forum and fixes . read them .

You find a lot of topics about battery drains, please read them. Just as an introduction you must know, that after flashing a new Rom and kernel you'll probably get a stupid battery drain, which means that maybe you have 100% all the time, or in the most of the cases you get a HUGE battery drain. I had the same problem, after installing a new ROM, my phone was sucked... at night with wifi and GPS and 3g turned off it lost 60% battery from 100%, so when I woke up I just noticed that I have 40%. It has been resolved automatically. Now I have 3days battery with no hard usage, but it takes 2 days in almost every cases. I'm now Darky 9.5 and Darky Core kernel.

Hello everyone, i am writing this thread today, in hope of getting some battery tips from you lot, why? Well because my phone is having some serious battery issues, it only lasts 6 hours max, no matter which rom is on it, which is just not good enough.
I have used the stock froyo rom, SlashDW's CM 7.0.1 unofficial rom, and now running Frosense, by Rushness, but i have had no sucess with this battery problem.
Hopefully someone can help me solve this issue, i would be very greatful, thanks.
Try to wipe battery settings from recovery before flashing rom.
like extrahacker said, wipe battery stats... than leave device powered off and charge till full, than re-install rom of choice
I looked at a post regarding that on the web, and followed the instructions. Charged till full, wiped battery stats, and then let it drain and charge again, still no luck. Any other ideas? Thanks for your help, you both
I find that the CM roms are very battery consuming. The Froyo for Trout rom gives me a full day.
You must also consider that the battery is 2+ years old, it would have high battery wear. Which might explain why you have bad battery life.
Agree with Ace42 - I recently acquired a G1 and the battery life was shocking, I was lucky if I got 4 hours! I have just switched on my phone with a new battery from ecell off ebay and will give it a blast over the weekend.
It can't do any worse but I am hoping for at least 8/9 hours!
OK so the first day I just scraped 24 hours... it must have been the old battery!
I can't complain!

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.

About 2 months ago I noticed whenever my phone got to 15% battery left when I plugged it in it would reboot. I ignored the issue for a while because I rarely let it get that low.
Recently though I notice my battery life getting very bad. Insanely bad. Not even 2 hours of SOT, dying in 3 hours just using hotspot with no SOT. Losing 10% in a few minutes of active use sometimes.
So I tried some battery calibration apps, tried recharging to 100% and draining again. Tried wiping battery stats. Tried different ROMS.
I flashed desolation ROM tonight and the battery life seems to be really good on it but it ended up shutting off at 24% left.
Battery apps say my battery is in good health, but I'm wondering if the battery itself is bad? Any tips or advice or help of any kind is appreciated. Thanks

I just wanted to make sure because I've never experienced this issue before. I even hand my smartphones down to my mother and they tend to get over 2 years of use and I've never had to buy new batteries. Thanks for the feedback
If it drops from 24% to 0 then im pretty sure its a damaged battery try it ypu can buy it for less than 20 dollars on ebay
If it drops gradually in standby you could have also a battery drain bug but this is not the case here
