OK, so here's my issue: I have a red lense defy that has BL7 on it (I understand it can't be downgraded). I have followed a couple of the rooting methods and I am able to obtain root. My problem is that no matter what custom ROM I install (I've tried most all of them) I can't get my battery to hold a charge. The battery drains dry in about 8 hours with no data, no wifi, no gps or any other activity. I've put the battery in my green lense defy and ruled out it being a bad battery because it works fine in that Defy. I was told that since I have BL7 I have to use Defy+ roms and I think thats killing the battery since I believe the Defy+ comes with a different battery.I have the BF5X 1500mAh battery and have tried all the battery fixes I can find. I tried Quarx's custom kernel along with CM ROM's (both Quarx & Epsylon), MS Ginger, CodeNameAndroid, Slim Bean and so many others but all with the same result. Battery completely dead in under 8 hours.I have tried messing with the overclocking, governers, screen brightness, wiping battery stats, battery calibration and all the other settings that one would think could affect battery life but no luck. So I'm asking for help or suggestions. Any ideas? If any dev's see this, I am completely willing to try or test anything since the phone is no good to me like this. I would really appreciate any suggestions or input. I'd really like to get this phone working right but I have run out of ideas. Help please.
Well, the fact you have BL7 MB526 ROM is not an issue of your red defy.
Would be good if you post screenshots of battery usage stats (both, 1st after clicking on battery usage, 2nd after clicking on diagram)
Also - do you have exactly the same baseband in both defies - required for comparison of battery life? (Improper baseband can cause huge drain)
Other proposal is trying CM7.2 by Maniac for defy+ - my red lense with defy+ stock ROM takes ca 2% during 7h in the night (2G, all the rest off)

Sorry for the delayed response...I use the same baseband for both and the battery usage stats show the screen uses all the battery. That makes no sense since I've reduced brightness by half and the screen turns off after only 15 sec. of idle. I've basically given up on the red lense defy. Its the same result no matter which ROM I flash so there must be something wrong with the handset itself.
I also have a green lense Defy running MIUI 2.4.2, Android 2.3.7, kernel 2.3.32.9.. Can I flash CM10 over that without having to use sbf? I want to be able to return to MIUI if there's any problems because the green lense is my day to day phone and any time I've encountered problems it seems to be after changing sbf. Thanks again for any help.

Now it was what I asked for. It is really too much for the display (if it is true)
Just to check it try to keep the screen on for an hour (make it in settings) - the battery shall be drained totally then. Send the screenshots again.
Two notes:
Do you really need wifi always on when screen is off? (wifi settings)
Do you really need to keep the unit awaken so much when screen is off?
Concerning green defy - no problem for CM10. But if it's BL4 ensure then to be it froyo 2.2.2 and not a lower version
Thanks for the input. I'll try that with the screen and post screenshots later. I changed the wifi settings but i'm not sure what you mean about keeping the unit awake. What settings would I find that in?
For the green lense, I thought there was a tool for checking bootloader version floating around the forum somewhere but cant seem to find it. The phone has been running MIUI for a long time and I have no idea what sbf was flashed back then. Is there a good, easy (for a noob) way of checking the Bootloader version? Thanks again for all your help, I'll post screenshots later.
Here's the new screenshots.

Concerning screenshoys - as you can see it does not look so bad and it is not a screen that drains the battery. Ca 15% down after almost 2h with a screen on and wifi too is nearly a standard.
You need a battery fix to get 100% (suppose you don't right now) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1241322&d=1344093287
You can see in your 2nd screenshots that your unit is awaken a lot (mine for example much often goes to sleep) - it can be caused by some user apps - as an example is an official facebook app which works in a background nearly all the time
Here is BL checking tool in OP, Suppose in post #309 of this thread you will find 'a manual'

I've just found that on the desire forum, do you think it will word on ours HD2?
vidler said:
Found this on another forum, I have done this a few times myself (do it whenever i flash a new rom because i always clear battery stats, can't hurt). Have found that it does top it up a fair bit. Before doing this i find my desire will drop to +-93% straight off the charger, however this keeps it 100% longer and i actually get to see the numbers 99-94%
Worth a go in my opinion because it only takes 5 mins of your time and can't hurt the phone... So any minor gain from this process is a win...
Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.

I think it should work as it's wiping battery stats in android
im trying it too as we speak
I'm pretty sure that calibration will not work currently in android properly. Cottulla posted a few days back that the battery driver is still incomplete and currently only supports reading battery state and that the write too part of the driver has not been implemented. When the driver is complete and has full read/write battery function this procedure should work better.

My battery wasnt calibrated properly and wudnt charge over 90%. Someone in this forum told me to switch off and charge until green and then switch it on. Now my battery seems calibrated plus i got 2 days of use on moderate use

but ive seen several posts of people calibrating their battery in winmo and reporting better battery life....idk maybe placebo
i will try this too. i myself had an issue today. i'm using chuckyrom right now. i use it at work so i can turn the "phone" off while at work. so it is in airplane mode. i only used the phone today to check the time and played some uno on a break. my battery stayed on 100% for 5 hours. so i turned the phone off, took the battery out for 1 minute. put the battery back in and turned the hd2 on. it was still on 100%. 4 hours later it was down to 94%. i just didn't think that a true battery reading. most days when i have the "phone" turned on at work i only have 10% battery left by the end of the day... just seemed odd to me. idk.
Well, I don't know if this works 'properly' or not but it's certainly had an impact so it's doing something right.
Prior to the calibration I could only charge to 95% or so. Phone now seems to be charging to 100% all the time which is good. Battery life also seems great, not sure if this is down to the calibration or not as I moved to Darkstone V2 (16/08/10) release the day before so don't have a baseline.
FYI, as I type this I'm on 49% battery remaining after being unplugged for 10hrs. Fairly light usage, couple of calls; some texting but quite a lot of browsing and XDA App on 3G and WiFi.
Amazing progress the devs are making. Have been running various builds of Android for a week or so no and haven't yet had to revert to WiMo.

Anyone able to do this with mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense? The charge indicator LED never changes to green.

Yeah, its hard to remember to take a screenshot before you plug it in (or in my case...reboot the phone)
You may want to try BatterySnap...its a free app in the market which gives you a great battery widget, plus a lot of really useful graphs and information.
I upgraded to Froyostone on the 12th...thats why the information is only going back that far...but as you can see, 18-19 hours a day at moderate usage is what I am getting on a regular basis

Power the phone off...then charge till you get a green light (Maybe even for an extra 10 minutes or so)...power the phone back up and plug into your charger. now it should charge up to 100%
I dont know if the battery itself is limiting the charge, or if its just the battery meter that is not displaying correctly...Anyhow, the above method corrects it for me whan this happens on my phone.
Thanks matey . I've only had my HD2 for five days but thanks to the awesome resource that is the xdadevelopers forum, I'm successfully running Android on my phone. :-D

Hello!!
i wish to know if someone could charge his defy+ to 100% with some of those fixes in froyo rom.
The thing is that some fixes charges to 100% BUT is not the defy+ 100%, those fixes make the phone use the battery like a normal defy one. But doesnt charge it to the real value in mV
defy full mv charge : ~4160mV
defy+ full mv charge : ~4320mV
So is there someone who using some fix could charge his defy+ to the REAL defy+ value? it doesnt matter if it says 100%, the thing is to check the mV.
The truth, to relate to your title, is in fact, that there is no fix that works for everyone...
I've read a lot on the original German topic for white rabbit, and the author Einsteinno tried to implement such a fix with a little help from his fellow beta-testers.
The conclusion was, that for almost everyone who tried any of the fixes another one or none worked... Maybe it's the build of their Defys, maybe bootloader or kernel or something else.
It seems you have tried a few and if none off them worked so far, you might have to wait a little longer...

I have got a fix I tried that some one tried on MIUI and they say it worked and as far as I know thats froyo based?? Any way give it a go but back up your original battd.bin (copy it to a SD card location) incase it fails so you can restore it.
Here is the link the fix and instructions is last post on page one. Please post on that thread if it works for you and what version your running.

I would guess that both batteries are fully charged at the same voltage ~4.2V - However you need to be carefull when you measure the voltage. Use a Multimeter and try to draw some current and measure while you do it I bet the voltages will differ.
The thing that differs on the batteries are the capacity (mAh), which in no way translates to fully charged Voltage. (lower than 4.2 does however say something about how much charge is remaining, but the discharge curve is pretty flat)
A battery charge circuit typically detects the fully charged capacity by measuring that the voltage no longer increases (and then continue to trickle charge for a while to get it fully charged).
EDIT: spelling

What's the difference between the battery indicator while the phone is turned off and the one when it's turned on?
I own a Defy (Red lens) and have CM9 (Defy+) with its batteryfix. However, strange things happen with battery measurement:
-Turned off it shows 100%, and when I turn it on, it shows 89% or so.
-I plugged it when it was on 8% (turned off), and as soon as the battery indicator showed, it said "45%".
Now I'm charging it (turned on) and it shows 96% and 4146mV in BatteryCalibration (I understand this is ok).
I'm curious about it, and also a bit afraid of damaging my battery.

hey guys! i have a 2300mah battery in my defy, but the phone only reads it as 500mah, making it seemingly drain to 1% just in a few hours, but it still stays usable for at least half a day after this. the only way for me to find out how much of my battery is left is looking at the voltage, which can give a pretty accurate idea.
i noticed that on the latest eppy nightly (29/05, maybe on others too) the bootmenu displays the battery percentage on the bottom, and that reads it correctly! (the system was showing 1% @3700mV at the time, and the bootmenu showed 40%) so my questions is: is it possible to make the system read/display the values the way the bootmenu does?

Hello all, I am a new comer here. I have a motorola defy plus mb526.
I've been switching between stock firmware android 2.3.5 and CM10 android 4.1.2 many times since I couldn't manage to make 3G/HSPA work properly (I had signal drops, lower signal strenght and no 3G at all, only HSPA worked well).
So after the 4th or 5th time I came back finally to stock firmware, I noticed my battery lasted less than 12 hours instead of the normal 48 hours duration I had before (both android 2 and 4, with even a slight advantage towards android 2).
My battery stats seem to point that my IDLE/Inactive phone consumed 35%, against only a 9% corresponding to the screen consumption. I am 70% of the time connected to WIFI, and sometimes I connect to 3G. It seems my phone is consuming a lot battery when IDLE.
Do you have any suggestions on how to diagnose this issue??
What I did until now:
>> Installed a new battery stats app more detailed
>> Waiting for the battery to clean up, to wipe battery stats and see if that helps (I did it before I installed the new rom though)
Thank you and sorry for my english
JV
First off, for the signal issue you could've changed the baseband from settings/advanced.
And for battery usage problem try a clean sbf flash and wipe data. Then install those apps only which you used earlier when battery life was good. If you get the same level of performance then one of the newer apps is messing with the deep sleep.
Also charge your phone for a couple is hours at 100% to calibrate battery properly

Thanks for the reply, I've been doing some tests and finally decided to go back to quarx CM10. I'm in argentina so 3G pretty much sucks. But i'm gonna have patience and try to make it work.
Apart from this, unfortunately, battery is still down. But I have a new theory. The same day I started experiencing low battery duration (plus the same day I overclocked the phone and flashed it), I removed the screen block (so there was no password or slide needed when turning the screen on), I think that could have been the reason behind the "Inactive/Idle phone" consuming more battery than the screen itself.
I have reverted this and battery seems to last longer (still seems far from the old 48 hours duration =*( ), plus the battery stats no longer report that inactive phone consumes more than screen.
I will be keeping on the diagnostics and hope its not the battery hardware but some crappy battery stats on my phone
Thanks

Just a question for Defy plus users. With which ROM-Kernel have you experienced to have the best battery life in your opinion? I used to have 3 days with stock GB. In CM10.1 and 10.2 barely lasts a day...I'm about to try CM7.2 or flash a different kernel on 10.2 if thats possible.

Try CM7.2, its very stable. CM10.1 and CM10.2 have a custom kernel, there's no other kernel around, so you have to stick with the kernel CM10.x gives. My battery life with CM is much better than the battery on stock GB. I get atleast 2 days with moderate use (whatsapp, messaging, browsing, camera). You have to investigate why battery life is bad. Get betterbatterystats and check for wakelocks.

First of all, don't turn on your phone if you don't need to use it. Second, wifi tends to use battery power and in some earlier ROMs I remember it used to cause the phone to not sleep properly, which might be your case since you're still on CM 10. I use Deep Sleep Battery Saver to turn my wifi on/off every certain amount of minutes.
I disable most, if not all, Google services and enable them only when I need them, since they send alarms every now and then to make sure your phone is online.
In BBS check which apps are setting the most alarms, and either disable them or you can use Autostarts or App Settings (Xposed module + xposed framework) to disable the receiver for the specific app that is waking your phone, and see if it works (some apps crash).
In my case, I'm currently at 62% with 18 hours of usage, and I haven't even done all that I mentioned above, with Google's location service having woken my phone 426 times, and Line 408, which is nasty in itself.

Running a Defy+ with CM10 and my moderate(data,whatsapp,some music,camera and wifi) usage gives me about 24 hours. The thing is, I'm mostly on wifi (give or take about 12hrs) the rest in outside with data. IF i go with data the whole day, I think i only get about 12 hours. With data, battery life is really bad.
Installed betterbatterystats and it shows for kernel wakelock, is mostly wl1271_wake. while for partial wakelock, its NlpCollectorWakeLock (Google Services)
Also, my baseband is South East Asia (where I am located) with 3.4.3-361
Is this normal? How can I get my phone to last 1.5 days at least like some users here get?

Now, thats what I'm talking about! Some useful tips there too, will give them a shot.
I also use Battery Widget Reborn to show me my battery usage graphically. Based on my observation, being on wifi consumes very little. Running purely on data consumes more (even when I turn wifi search off). Perhaps the newer build works ok with wifi now.
How do I disable these Google services?
Also, you mentioned you haven't done 'all' yet, may I ask what you have done so far that got you to 62% with 18h of usage?
Thanks again

Also some good times but I'll try stay away from CM7.2 as best I can. Thats just me though. Thanks for sharing those times, will keep it in mind.
What I have found until now is, Google location service is a battery hog, which can be seen from wakelock. In ettings->location & security, turn off GPS and wireless networks both. And what I am now experiencing is signal searching related battery drain is very big, like poor signal, 2G/3G switching, sticking in WCDMA and not able to switch back to GSM, those cannot be seen from wakelock.
For less battery consumption I turn off Data AutoSync.
