Im using current widget to record my battery consumption during standby and normal use.
Im using SetCPU with 988max/245min for normal, and screen of 245min/max, and battery <30% at 614max/460min.
Also set Taskiller to kill all apps when I turn the screen off.
Autokiller set to optimum (40,50,60).
Turned off htc sense in WM, and boot up haret when keypad lights are on.
Recently changed my WM rom and radio from ChuckyROM lite to stock 3.14, and radio from 2.12.50.02 to 2.15.50.
Android rom is NexusHD2 v1.6.
I found that I can get my battery current to be 3-7mA at standby, but heres the problem! It will only stay at this current for a while before reverting to 40-70mA as it used to be! This is very annoying as you can tell it saps the battery like crazy. In addition when using the phone normally with wifi on I can expect 250-300mA which I think is a bit high. Playing games gets me about 400mA. These effects happen before and after getting Taskiller.
What else have I got to try!?!?!! Please help!
I've had this problem too - And i've found that switching Bluetooth off and on again will stop it for awhile.... But i'm using MDJ's S4 Kernel, and haven't seen this issue for a little while now.
The biggest issue i've always had is every minute I have 4-8mA, but every so often it'll jump to 150mA+ for a minite or so.... At first I thought it was the weather updating or email syncing, but this drain is happening completely at random....
It's got worse since using MDJ's S4 though !
Yeah I forgot to mention I was using MDJ's S4 kernel. I have exactly the same problem as you as well, the mA will jump randomly to mid 100s, I've turned auto sync off and everything!
I had the same experience with this kernel. Randomly, it would drain 160mA with brightness at min, wifi and 3g off, sync off. I'm not using any setcpu or killers. Hopefully this will be resolved with the next version.

I've got sync on... But still happens with me - So can't be anything to do with syncing.
I also have 3G permanently off, but polo735 is also the same, and his still jumps up !
I first thought it was 3G, as in my house, i'm on the edge of 3G reception, and it quite often switches at random between 3G and GPRS, so I have it permanently GPRS. No difference
I've managed to get a reasonably good battery life by changing to shubcraft 2.0 and upgrading my SD card to a 16gb class 6. Previously had a 2gb now I'm getting 3-12ma on standby - not too bad.

Hi all,
I have a question about this battery life.
With the latest version of Android builds, do we really needs CeT CPU ?(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419), Or the battery drivers allready do the same job that this Cet CPU?
And, the most important, do you know if we will need it for the Nand, which seems to be coming quite soon...?
It is claimed that you don't need set CPU for the newer builds but I still use it just in case.
Also when nand gets finished you should still use set CPU because it helps maximize the battery you've got.

Yes I think that there still might be a little difference, I nearly stay the entire week end with my battery, for the first time (without using it to much)
Hi I found this problem recently with all newer Builds. If I watch movies or play any game for at least 45 min I think the phone over heats and freezes.
I used to watch a bunch of movie before in older builds without this problem but at the time those build had a bunch of lil problems so that's why I don't go back to those build and the builds are perfect and this is the only problem I get.
I want to know if u dont have this problem what Radio you are using and windows mobile I dont think its a problem with the builds but a combination of maybe RADIO and winmo.
My Radio is 2_12_50_02_2 and wimo is ChuckyDroidROM I also should say that I think is the Radio I dont like messing with them cause some might brick ur phone that why I would like to see what radio u using before I try to use them.
Yeah... I have the same problem and I can't get over it.
I checked the temps for my phone last night, droped the battery to 40% and started charging it.
Was watching a movie with the phone charging, audio thru bluetooth, WiFi on screen on (of course ), and after almost 2 hours the temp went up to 37C, and thats tge highest I saw it.
Im using desire_hd2 Build by Cedes.
zephyrot what Radio and wimo are using?
Using Stock Deutschland ROM 3.14.407.2. With Stock Radio.
Everything working perfectly so far, been running Android for a few months, always on Stock ROMs without issues. (Unbranded Stock ROM btw).
Gonna make a stress test and post the temp results in a bit.
Did the tests.
1.5 Hrs with: Charging Phone + Music in the background + Wifi + Bluetooth + CPU @ 1.19GHz + Neocore on infinite Loop >> 38C highest temp.
Did the same test with Nenamark, and got the same results.
Ambient temp: 22 C.
Ill try another test with GPS + GMaps + Music thru bluetooth + Charging tomorrow and check the temps.
Thans zephirot I have a TmobileUSA hd2 so I dont know if i can havethat radio but it sould hlp ppl with the normal hd2... also the build i have everything works i can listen to music all day with no poblems.
The problems start when watching movies like for an hour or a bit less the phone would get a temp of like 40 C and freeze.
The latest T-Mobile ROM should have that radio (2.15.something), just be sure to check out SSPL/SPL/HSPL compatibility, since 3.03 SPL is not compatible yet with latest HSPL. Leaving ya at 64 MB usable ram
Kinda weird your high temps, you using SetCPU? Try lowering the MAX Speed to 998Mhz (1.19Ghz should run just fine), and use one of the latest Builds.
Best ones so far for me have been:

And:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857261
The second being more tricky and requiring some work to work as intented, but BY FAR the fastest Build I've used

the HSPL is the thing I install before changing roms right?
I remember I install like 2.008
almost solved
ok ppls I've try changing the wm rom and Radio and for what ive found the phone will free either way no matter what So I think it has to be a problem with the newer builds.
My build is overclock but I had it to not go over the normal amount of speed 900 MHz and the phone would freeze after watching a movie for at least 40 min.
Now what I found that if you underclock the CPU like I did to 400-500 the phone would last much much longer even when charging. I got like 2 hours of movie and then let it cool down while charging.
also I dont know if this is important but I use Rockplayer to watch my movies and this couldnt be the reason for the freeze either cause ive been using it forever.
But I hope this help any other person who had this kind of problems.
Im having same issue but it gets hot and restart after 10-20 minutes of hard use.
Im having theory it could be microSD card getting hot becouse of phone. IM not sure.
but i tried different ROMS, radios and Androids its the same problem.
deniboy try lowring the cpu speed with set cpu to 400-500 I had it and 400 and see how it goes.
also everything else works fine on my build like Internet speed always fast no disconect and no errors this is the only thing bothering me.

It seems that our beloved Samsung did it again!
Now we can enjoy a fully functional, long waited, Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Although some sources say that it is only a leak, the JVP build seems to behave really well, according to the reports of many users.
Gingerbread 2.3.4 was build in order to fix some Android bugs and make the interface even faster. We have seen that the second task is a success, the user experience and crazy Quadrant scores being the best witnesses. But what about the first task, are there any android bugs in this build? Maybe we could find out together.
The key purpose of this thread is to find out if that Android OS bug, which made Gingerbread users a hard life, is still present.
You can help this investigation by keeping an eye on the battery stats and reporting the consumption (in percents, of course) of the Android OS. It is even better if you can add some screenshots.
Please don't forget to mention:
- The ROM and kernel you are using.
- Some apps or games you are using (known to fire this bug on previous builds).
- Whether you have autorotation on or off (some users reported they had no drain if kept off on 2.3.3 builds).
- What type of usage you applied to the phone (not really necessary, only you are kind enough).
If you have any kind of suggestion regarding some modifications for this thread you are welcomed to post them. It will helps us become more efficient.
Thank you very much for your effort!
EARLY CONCLUSIONS*:
- Battery life is indeed an improvement on JVP 2.3.4
- The Android OS bug is less aggressive. The reports show a maximum consumption of approx. 20%. We can't say for sure if we can talk about a bug anymore. Anyway, the drainage is not so bad, comparing to 2.3.3 versions.
- The Android System consumption is a bit scary (15-20%) especially after a flash. However, it tends to stabilize in time.
- A clean flash, factory resets, avoiding apps restoration with Titanium or similar, reducing consumers when you don't need them always helps. With or without battery draining bugs.
- JVP is a better alternative for previous versions due to improvements for battery life, speed and stability, even if it's a beta release. So you should go for it, it really is an upgrade!
*The statements above are based on reports and poll results collected until now and they may change. I take no responsibility if you will find those informations incorrect or incomplete. Flash JVP at your own risk, you could loose data or brick your phone, although there aren't reports that say that. Follow the instructions and you should be ok!
is this a new craze insted of train spotting or stamp colecting ....battery watching ....most of us have got a life and have better things to do then watch how much a battery uses ...do what i do charge the phone and enjoy these phones do use loads of battery
Updated with 2.3.4 I9000XXJVP,CSC = I9000OXAJVP and kept it on without sim and without even touching but fully charged. The battery life was just for one and half days.
Android OS running at 3%
using Damian's GTO Alpha kernel for JVP and Brotuck's gingerMod ROM.
Autorotation off.
Consistent q scores in the 2600 range, phone running very smoothly and very fast in daily use (internet, twitter, pics, camera, messaging, phone), 130+ apps installed, no issues. Seems a much better base firmware than any of the 2.3.3 variants.
It's a bit early to investigate this stuff.
Wait for Samsung to release 2.3.4 sources and devs to make some stable kernels based on this.
Until this time many stuff can be broken (well, you're free to beta test though ).
batery is much beter in 2.3.4
no since i flash JVP 2days ago!

Keep in mind that after a reflash the battery life will stabilize after a while.
In my opinion, the cell standby may be the cause. If left without SIM, Airplane mode off, your phone will continue to search for signal and this really drains the battery.
If you can make a test again, check the battery usage and post your conclusion.
Thanks for your contribution!

This kind of activity is normal in community, especially here in XDA.
It will be useful for those kind of people who don't like to experiment in order to find some answers.
We could do like you but, what if we need to charge it again, after 8 hours, without using the phone?
That's why this "new craze" exists, because we want to avoid that kind of problems.

You're right but the 2.3.4 concentrates on fixing bugs, so even in beta stage we should see some changes.
Anyway, the thread is intended to test the firmware regarding this problem, so it can become an indicator for people asking weather they will experience this problem of they can enjoy using their phone without even thinking about this.

I must say that 2.3.4 battery is performing better than 2.3.3 so far.
After 11 hours with gps and auto rotate on, battery still have 30% of juice left.

Comming from Froyo JPY to stock deodexed JVP, I have noticed a higher battery drain.
I lost 13% overnight, I had 21% battery use on cell standby (6hours of use). and I noticed something very strange, android system has a 18% battery use with only 5 minutes running, WTF???
I'm using stock deodexed rom from ramad, Dark core kernel and screen off animation. that's all I've changed to this rom, no games, and a few apps like titanium backup and atk.
When I tapped on the android system there was a huge list of included packages, I will list them here, maybe one of them (or all together) is causing that huge battery use:
com.samsung.InputEventApp
Service mode
Software update
Google Backup Transport (actually, I turned off google backup, idk why this is here)
Settings Storage
Mobile tracker
Account and Sync Settings
EncryptApp
Task manager
Error

It seems that you have a normal consumption on Android System. Also that app list is present on every ROM which has all system apps. On lite ROMs you can get a smaller list, because some of those apps are removed by the chefs.
Maybe your network coverage is not that good
After a flash, the battery needs stabilization, until then it can drain fast. Try to recalibrate it. Please tell me if you need a good guide.
Try a lite ROM. Maybe you will experience a good Android System consumption.
Thanks for the feedback!
Look at the poll results so far 72% say they have no battery issue, so it must be the apps on your phone that are at fault for any unusual battery drain.
Look at your own apps first before you blame the rom, mostly it's not the rom that's at fault.

When you're not really using your phone, Android System will have a higher battery use percentage, because nothing else is using battery.
Long periods of idle, you will see higher Cell Stanby and Android System percentages.
The more you use the phone, those percentages will lower.

Good job! Enjoy your phone!
turn off data connection or wifi when youre not using them
and it will least even longer...
This is what i had with the previous JVO (2.3.3) and not using any task killer anymore. I moderately used the phone, made some calls, wrote some SMS, had blutooth on in the car, listening mp3. Ah, and i set display brightness to "auto" always, i don't use the manual setting with lowest brightness value anymore.
But i also can get the battery down in less than a day...
I'll give the new 2.3.4 a try.
It's funny to see that there is always somebody who needs to torture the board with reinventing the battery wheel. Strange battery behavior usually shows up (and is often dependent on them) in threads with special roms or kernels. The only thing this thread will brings us is more of the same on how to save juice if you don't want to fork for a larger/extra battery.
Hello. I used cyanogen mod in the past on my desire hd, then switched to rcmixhd, then back to cyanogen (newer release). I noticed first of all that the battery lasts really shorter time. I don't know why, but in the night it goes from 60 to 15% without using anything (no 3g, no wifi, no applications, no alarm), i just leave the telephone on. It hasn't happened to me before.
I flashed a new radio, I will see what happens, but can the radio make a difference in the battery related problem?
Apart from this, i am happy with cyanogen.
One rom related question: is it possible to change the incoming call layout? I am very used to the possibility of 'SILENTING' the call. Let's say someone calls, I want to have the possibility to make the phone NOT ring while still NOT refusing the call. On this rom I only have 2 buttons: accept and decline. No 'silent ringtone' available while the phone rings, which is different to refusing the call. I just want to keep the incoming call without the ringtone, after the call starts...i think you understand what i mean, it is a common function in every rom I had.
And also: I tried the game 'backstab HD'. It runs really with poor framerate. Is it normal? It has good graphics ok, but I don't think it's normal for a game built for phones to go that slow. Modern combat goes very smooth...even reckless racing HD now goes smoother than before. Backstab is almost unplayable. I think I could do something with chainfire 3d ?

Volume down should silence the ring/vibrate.
tonight battery went from 70% to 2% (from 3.30 a.m. to 10 a.m.). I find it impossible to use the phone like this.
How can I fix this battery problem? Last time I used cyanogen the battery could last up to 3 days with normal use. With the time the ROM should get better, not worse....I am searching for a solution, many people have this problem and no one knows how to fix it.

Hi !
Check out the radio threads, and see the setups from the other guys.
I had heavy battery drain with different radios. The last radio from cyanogen
( running alienmind v1.99 ) works great now.
Just need to test everything and need to find the best setup for you
Now, one of better think is to make a full charge of your battery, device turned off.
when you reboot your device(at 100%), go in CWM=>advanced=>clean/wipe battery stat.
Do it two or three time and see...
if no result you can instal Battery History for GB
Look if something drain anormaly your battery.
If no result, change ROM
If no result, change your dead battery.
And read this guide
i did the reset of the battery stats today, things may be better. I will also flash another radio to try everything. If not, I really don't know, i may have to change rom although i was happy with cyanogen the first time.
Just backup your old rom and flash (wipe) the newest from cyanogen... and see yourself.
If the battery drain is still there ( i hope not )
I had only problems with cyanogen when i customized it ( other radios, kernels and widgets )
so which radio is the best for the latest cm7? I have the Telus version if that makes a difference. thx
Yeah I was getting pretty severe battery drains too, but then I updated my radio and RIL and now it's significantly better. Here is a guide to update your radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295&highlight=radio
After that I updated my RIL using CWM. Just go to Download ROM -> gtg465x -> RIL Flasher.
I'm currently using Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with AlienMinds CM 7.1 v 1.9.9 with great success. Great battery life and smooth operation.

I recently noticed a very severe battery drain on my R2P a few days back. I am running MIUI 7.5.2.0 stock with root and TWRP 3.2.1. When I would go to sleep with about 60% battery I luckily woke up to the alarm and the battery level was 1% in the morning. And the phone was warmer than usual. I checked out some stats and I came to know that the phone's cores were running on 1209 MHz the whole time rather than being on some lower frequency like 200 MHz or deepsleep. Due to this even while I use WhatsApp or even right now on Chrome Browser the phone is hot AF. I tried many things including factory reset from the TWRP, stock recovery and MIUI settings menu, flashed different versions on lollipop MIUI and and a custom ROM but nothing seemed to work. Before it would easily scale down to lower clock frequencies even when not in deep sleep. This high CPU load is making it so hot that right now I cannot use it for anything leave alone playing games I cannot use document viewers and other simple stuff because it's too hot to handle. What should I do now. Is this mere software problem or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
