Hey guyz, I just got an X10 used, it was running on a Wolfbreak ROM and the year old battery drains 4% per hour on minimal use and even just burning a mere 3% in 3 hours when screen off, I was quite satisfied with that bcoz I understood it was a used up old battery but the ROM was just so buggy and it's prone to freezes and glitches so my friend told me to do a full wipe and get back to stock gingerbread 2.3 and i did but the problem is the battery life got even worse, it burns 10% per hour(even when screen off) now. I tried everything, advanced task killer(aggressive, when screen off, security level low), turning off wifi/bt/gps/background data syncing, I set brightness to 25% but it's still like that.
TLDR: ROM was buggy so I went to stock gingerbread and Battery life got worse when I went to stock gingerbread
So I've decided to resort to having a custom ROM again, which ROM is the best for battery life?
the answer might be Wolfbreak and the one I had wasn't that stable
EDIT: or maybe post an alternative method of improving battery life, that I wasn't aware off lol

I've also noticed that with the latest CM's battery life is an issue for me. Ive got KoR roms to last almost two full days but cm is dead within 20 hours.
My battery life has changed as well and I now have to keep my travel charger and car charger with me at all times or suffer with a dead phone.
i had been running rc3 with the 8-19 kernel, and my battery life was similar to stock, but the combination of latest CM and wildmonks are just killing me... i think im going to go back to rc3 with the 8-19 kernel.
Check the active processes. You can't drain the battery in 8 hours unless you have a process stuck, using 100% CPU constantly (possibly Exchange?).
good thought, but im not an exchange user... i cant seem to isolate the issue. im going to do a full wipe and try stock to see if maybe i have a bad battery.
People with battery life issues should try Enom's ROM with a wildmonks kernel. I'm 18 hours in of a full charge and I'm at 76%. That's normal use with full screen brightness, wifi and gps, quite a few background updating apps, etc.
Over 50% of power usage should be the display under even moderate usage.
With wifi, push, and poll active, the battery drop per hour with the screen off should be less than 1%.
If it's higher than that, you need to find the rogue process or get rid of an automatic task killer.

Display is most of my usage with over 50% every time. I have one app that auto updates in the background, Twitter, and thats every half hour. I do have 3g on but with wireless on most of the time. GPS, Autosync, and Auto-Brightness is on. I play one game twice a day, World War, once in the morning, once at night, but both times are usually on the charger.
Now that I think about it, Im a part of latitude but maps/latitude never consume battery according the about>battery.
Either way CM6 full charge starting at 4am, with light-moderate use, will be dead at like 5pm. I can go almost 2 days on a single charge of KoR rom. Enoms rom I have tried and lasts a full day +some...

I have the same issue and have had it since RC2. I can deal with it since I have the desktop dock at work, the car dock, and two wall chargers at home. The drain is pretty noticeable -- after about 30 minutes of the phone being off the charger and left alone with screen off, the battery charge is at 94% with "Display" using 65% of that. Wifi/BT/GPS off.
Like I said, it's not a big deal right now because I have chargers everywhere, but it's really annoying. I'm still searching for the fix, but if I can't find it, back to MCR for me.
I tried CM for 1 week and I must say the extra glitters is not worth the poor battery life., only lasted 1 day if used moderately. I just switched back to FRF91 Stock Rom today, lasts me 2days if used moderately. Longivity of the battery is another long term concern people should think about. I still miss my modded dialpad with big buttons, cool trackball colors and many more, CM is such a TEASE!
What kind of battery life are people getting with Pershoot's latest? It's undervolted, so it should do pretty well.

Tried Enom? I've seen zero difference in battery life, perhaps slightly better, since switching to it from stock Froyo on my N1.
In the battery use screen, what's draining the battery with the screen off? Let the phone drain like 10% with the screen off the entire time after unplugging.
several recent nighties and cm6.0.0 seem to have something broken.. Four hours of standby after full charge and the battery level already @ 83%.
cell standby 32%; idle 29%; display (wtf was turned off all the time) 28%.
Drains twice as fast compared to older CM roms..
The LEDs are also considered the Display by the battery meter.
Still, 17% in four hours is enormous. I guess I'll have to hold off on CM6 until they sort this out.
Dicks! 4% battery drain in one hour with almost no use, and that's after flashing pershoot's undervolted kernel. No way.
I'm going to try wildmonk's kernel now. :/
hi guys i almost search every thread of battery drainage but from no where i got any solution.......after a lot of research i resolve my problem my self...........my battery of phone drain very rapidly then i download Go launcher pro and install it on my phone use this whole day as i use daily.....i m shocked to that my phone battery status is 80% remaining after using my phone 17hours 43min and 55s..........its really amazing......this thing work for me.......i m going to love it coz last time my battery drain into 12 or more than hours.........if u have problem then my advice to atleast try this thing once.........hope u ll get better results
SHould some faulty app , i had 2.1 2.2 and 2.3 on the phone i did never noticed such a huge drain , the phone was always quite enough for a full day of usage .
Any congrats on fixing your issue
Battery drain depends on the ROM ( kernel )you are using!
JYP ROM 2.3.4 ( e.g. Ficeto , Criskelo etc ) battery drain is almost not a problem at all . Battery can last up to >3 days depending on the usage .
I installed the Master CPU. Battery lasts 3 days.
I am moved from 2.2.1 on 2.3.4 JVP Chainfire kernel and I have no battery drain at all.
I think battery life increased 50% minimum. Standby on 2.3.4 is amazing
as if 2.3.4 is a little better
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.
Hello,
I have received my Kindle 4 days ago. Rooted, backup-ed in the next hour and I installed CM7 Barebones edition, a very nice ROM.
After 2 days of intensive use, I found that the battery life in use is very reasonable, but in sleep mode without wifi, no sync and only the core services of android, i notice a 2% battery loss by hour. In the "battery use" menu in parameters, the process "when phone is idle" take me about 10% of battery. I intend to test with or without airplane mode and the battery consumption is about the same.
So my question for the other users of this rom : are you experiencing the same levels of battery consumption in sleep mode ?
Thank you by advance ...

Honestly haven't tired the Bare Bones ROM but I have the WhistleStop CM7 ROM and the Skimp Killah Super Kang CM7 ROM and both are great. I know Whistlestops version gets great battery life with almost no drain in sleep mode. I can sleep all night and only lose 1% with it. Just trying out the SKSK. I'll let you know.
I personally have not extensively tested the battery life of the rom I built (CM7 barebones). I do know the battery for me has no problem lasting a full day, which is fine for my need's. You could always flash over the stock kernel (which I will attach to this post) and compare the two. The current kernel in use is a intersectRaven build (20120110_1106 I think but am unsure). It is still being developed so battery life will likely just get better.
But anyway. Check the attachments on this post for the stock CM7 kernel built 02-01-2012. Also note, the stock kernel is not overclocked. It's default speed is 1008Mhz, where as Raven's is set to 1.2Ghz.
Ok ... indexa question for the whistletop rom, do you put the kf in airplane mode ? When i did not it seek for a signal and eat some power ....

I've notice a similar thing with the battery life. Prior to this ROM I was using whistletop's ROM with no battery loss while the device was sleeping. So as Takenover83 indicated, it's more likely to be an issue with intersectRavens kernal.
No problem, I can live with it for now. I love the responsiveness of this ROM, Thanks Takenover83.
I left my device alone for a little over ~10.5hours. Only thing I turned off was wifi. Note, I have a crap load of app's installed.
After 10 hours, I had 90% battery. So that's roughly 1 percent per hour, which I can live with. This was On Demand 300/1200.
Yeah I noticed a significant drain in battery loss. This morning my kindle was completely dead and when I got it charged I had some serious problems. It seemed wifi stopped working. I was able to connect but none of my google apps couldn't connect.
So I have NAND android on my HD2, currently the Nexus HD2 ICS ROM, and I've noticed that I'm getting only 9 hours out of my phone with wifi off, and only using it VERY occasionally to send a text message (link to picture). This is a bit ridiculous, if I use my phone for anything more, such as drowning out obnoxious idiots with some Alan Parsons Project through my earbuds, or I decide I want to play a game for about 15 minutes, I won't be able to get my phone to last through a full school day!
My question is this: What Android ROM for the HD2 will get me the best battery life? ICS, JB, GB, hell even Froyo. I don't care. I need battery life.
One thing I haven't tried is wiping battery stats or installing any Android "helpers", but I think the question of what ROM get the most out of a battery is a valid question.
Post your ROM, battery life, usage, and if possible include a picture similar to mine.
use juice defender if you are using 3g mutch. and when you rly dont need the phone put it in airplane mode. i have 21h 45m and still 67% texting mutch 20 mins phone calls a day some xda and web browsing.
It isn't a valid question purely because there are so many threads asking exactly the same thing, any of which you could have used instead of creating a new thread. Search before posting in future.
In terms of your question, as I have on multiple other threads I'm going to say that battery life depends largely on usage, not on the ROM. Generally GB ROMs will drain less than ICS or JB ROMs, but what I do is to use a combination of SetCPU and JuiceDefender to maximise my battery life. I get a basic drain of 1% every 1.5ish hours, which is fine for me. As long as my phone lasts the day (which it often does with over 60% left) I'm happy.
