can someone help me with the battery life on my htc desire hd i want better battery life without dissabling features, thaanks in advance
Well, there are many factors to getting good battery life.
Matching Radio/RIL can be a good start, especially if rooted.
Definitely ROM's also have a big part.
Overall usage will also bare a pretty big footprint.
I get about 18 hours on a typical work day, with moderate usage which is generally enough for going to work, coming home, and then still have plenty of battery left when I'm ready to go to bed, which is obviously when I charge my phone.

Define "disable" and "features".
disable automatic synchronization and shine
+1 there's nothing wrong with setting your Facebook, Twitter, Email, background syncing, weather etc to less frequent but it will obviously give you more battery life than syncing every 5 minutes, common sense really. An app to preserve battery I have found is Apndroid. Have the widget on your home and you can use 3G when you need it rather than not.

I disable automatic sync of all apps. I only update manually when I use them.
if you can echo all the timings I've been disabled, the sync I maualmente when I access the email application, facebook, etc. .. tweteer
have you rooted your phone? which rom are you using? some details will be appreciated...
tried custom roms? i usually get better battery life with them,
also setting off auto brightness helps a lot for me.
Green power free,its amazing my battery lasts at least 60% longer with this app,amazing get it

hey, mate... you've got some very generic question... specific info like ROM you're using, Radio, Kernel would bring justice for members to give you some more specific help.
This probably might help:
ROM CoreDroid 7
Radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.36.0)
RIL_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel LeeDrOiD GB V3.1.6 - 2.6.35.13 BFS KERNEL (thanks to LeeDroid)
Live wallpaper Nexus Revamp
disabled wifi, refresh, gps (used powercontrol widget for accesibility).
After flashing, my battery was drained in 5 hours even after an overnight full charge.
then followed scabes24 tips on FAQs >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858418 (thanks scabes24)

Cyanideskittle2010 tips will prove really helpful. tweak around phone settings which are my priorities... things i don't normally use disabled them, enabled them when i need to.
also, installed cpu clocking, initially used setcpu, then moved up to cputuner which gave me more options... juicedefender also can help if you prefer it. setcpu or cputuner are both available in market.
gave my phone 24 - 48 hours, after battery calibration, full batterystats wipe, now i am good at 30 hours battery time.
used to have 36 hours battlife but was using CoreDroid 6.7 then... shifted to CoreDroid 7 because i just love its UI.
hope this helps! credits to all xda cooks & chefs, sergio76, coredroid team etc..

Don't want to steal your post but i just have a question haha.
I ordered a battery off eBay the new battery runs on 1600mAh while the original battery goes on 1230 mAh. Should i worry about battery stats i should wipe after replacing the battery or something like that ?

I think it's better to wipe when the phone is fully charged (test with currentwidget) but i think to best is to use the original battery. It can damage your phone and I often read that those batterys don't have more power than the original.
Is it normal that from full battery after night I have only 50%? Extremely strange for me... I have ARHD 5.1.10, ANDIDA 1800 mAh
i am using ARHD, it has good battery life. Works for me
Hi, my s2 is using villainrom 1.4 as an attempt to improve battery life. At the moment i am on 50% battery after 4 hours and a bit with screen on time at 2 hours. Even with moderate usage i hav never gotten over 12 hours...
Could someone give me tips how to get my battery to at least a day, desperate for help. I have auto sync off and use a mixture of wiki and 3g.
I will post the screenshots of battery later as i dont have enough posts yet.

What apps u have installed?
Go to the built in battery monitor and check for wakelocks (when the screen is off, but the device is awake)

as what BSAKSOUK said, what apps do you have installed?
Try to uninstall all apps you have installed and see if you get some improvements, then install one, test again.
I found that NetCounter kicked in on my SGII and the phone never went to sleep, just screen off but it was awake and drained the battery in 12h
//Mike
I will try and post the sreenshots soon. It seems that awake and screen on is largely related. I may have to factory reset and see how the battery fairs then.
I did a *#1234# and saw my csc is unknown? Do u think there is somethin wrong with my modem? It seem when wifi is on it always drains the battery alot faster.
Ia there any app to monitor how much drain apps cause? Thanks guys

since you say you had the screen on for 2 hours, your battery seems correct. other people on this forum are claiming they get 4 hours of screen on time from a full charge. so if you had 2 hours and 50%, that seems right in line with proper results.
I installed Batery Callibration in my Galaxy Note .. Love this app...... Increase so much my life battery
One question: How often I Calibrate My Battery??
1. After flash or update ROM.
2. When replace or pull out & put in battery for whatever reasons.
3. I do calibration about once a week.
I always drain battery till it is 1% before plug in charger after hit the calibration button.
Battery time is acceptable to me...15+ hrs with normal use (stock ICS rooted).
Thank you very much for the tips. I Have Rocket Room V07 and Speedmod kernel 3.3. With 3g and Wifi turn on all day, my battery last 24 hs.....Very good for me
which battery calibration app?

Never. That app does NOTHING. You have fallen victim to the placebo effect.
Wiping battery stats does NOTHING on any Android device other than change the behavior of Settings->Battery. It does nothing with regards to fuel gauge calibration.
The fuel gauge chipset in our device does not require calibration and calibration techniques cannot be applied to it. (With one exception - resetting it after a reboot on low battery can have a temporary positive effect - but you can just wait a few hours for it to converge.)

Battery Calibration, try following the procedure stated therein and verify by yourself if it works.
At least you have nothing to lose but very poor battery performance.
You guys should have ever heard of an alternative battery product named MUGEN that selling original and extra sized batteries world wide including range of Galaxy batteries. They also supply a battery calibration app on Play Store regardless phone models but it's for rooted phone only. If this app does nothing they wouldn't bother wasting their time developing it.
Another thing is to investigate what apps or services prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, also try freezing apps or services you aren't using.
Those are my tricks for having battery performance improved.

Hi can i have the link for the calibration app ???
Search battery calibration on google play...its free
Your phone had to be root to use battery calibration
i dont trust any battery callibration app or battery power saving app
i only used cpu spy and betterbatterystats
my point is check ur device, does it goes to deepsleep everytime screen turned off. if it doesnt check using bbs what apps making ur device turned on/wake ur device. im very satisfied with this method. 1x full charge for 24 hr for my daily use and only 24 % battery drained for 24 hr if u didnt use ur device at all(standby)

THIS THREAD WAS INSPIRED BY MOST OFF YOU WHO ARE TRYING TO GET MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE WITH SOME CUSTOM ROMS.
Before Galaxy S3, I had Galaxy S2 which battery wasn't soo good. I was always searching for battery friendly roms and I was flashing one or two roms every day.After every custom rom I was thought like that: Why I done that, when every stock firmware gives better result(battery life and performance) then any custom rom. I know that there are some excellent custom roms, for me ,these are STOCK LOOK roms with bloatware deleted and some unused apps. But, we don't need to flash them when we can do that alone.
NOW,I HAVE GALAXY S3 :
Let's see my result on stock battery,stock rom (4.1.2 , DDELK1,XXELLC), and with some apps turned off in application manager,battery saving is turned on just for color of backoground,nothing else.That was heavy usage,I installed that firmware updated, all appps that I am using , and charged it. Viber,WhatsApp,Instagram,Sync,Wifi,3G,Facebook,Gmail, are always ON.
Results:
4h of screen on,phone was used(wasn't just screen on) , 52% battery left. I lose about 3-4% maximum during the night ( 7-8 hours) with wifi on.
See this on attachments.
Mostly ,my battery lasts for 2 days, I achieve min. 5,5 hours screen on in every charge with hd gaming,facebook,gmail,whatsapp,viber, about 40min-1h talk in 3g every day.
My tips for battery life improvement are:
-Turn the Energy saving(I turned it on just for background color i vibration,if you turn on full battery saving you will get much better result, but it seems to slow and laggy)
-Turn off apps that you aren't using in app manager( Settings,Application Manager,All > than find apps which are unusal for you. I turned off : All yahoo apps,samsung suggest,google +,flipboard,dual clock,chat on ,all samsung hubs because they doesnt work in my country, google maps(I use google earth).)
That's all. Enjoy that battery,that performance and that beauty of stock rom

Hi Guys,
This is actually my 1st post, but I was looking around xda for couple of months now.
I am using stock rooted XXELLA with Siyah kernel. I can make my phone last easily for 2 days, with 2g mostly on, disabled lots of unused apps, lowest brightness, sync off, etc. and UC to 1200 mhz. I'm using pegasusq gov and noop scheduler.
But I can't imagine 4 hours screen on and get 52% battery left, or get 7,5 hrs totally. I always monitor the usage with BetterBatteryStats and when the screen is off I can even get about 4-6 hrs / 1%. But I can't reach >5,5-6 hrs screen on. Any suggestions? Do you think I can lower the min. brightness in build.prop?
Btw, I think if you share your battery stats, it would be nice if you also share your governor/scheduler and OC/UV values.

I dont know how you got that kind of amazing result... 4h screen on time with 52% battery left. wow...

Everyone uses their phone differently so comparing battery life is not possible, someone who demands smooth scrolling and instant response is not going to get 2 days use or more than 4hr screen on time.
Personally I'm not worried by stutters or lag, I'd rather get 9hr screen on time over 48hr up time - this is with a super lite ROM, I have all the bell and whistles turned off and all power saving options on, as close to AOSP as a stock based ROM can get.
I'm very happy with this phone, compared to my old htc sensation I no longer worry about battery life, I have two batteries which get swapped over between phone and desk charger every two days, unless playing games when I only get 1 day life.

Hey op, sorry to say this but you might be wrong. For battery life it depends on kernels and tweaks rather than on roms. Roms are actually just themed/stock themed firmwares with additional apps/removed apps and pre-installed tweaks and kernels. Most roms use v6 supercharger tweak. For me I use phenomenal kernel which has undervolted and underclocked gpu and cpu. But if you want more options with oc/uv try boeffla kernel where there"s an app included that allows you to over/underclock you gpu and cpu. By underclocking, it will save more battery. My ohone lasted about 12+ hours of continuous use of my phone (gaming, watching videos) with the kernels I use

The draining nature of the battery depends on the rom and the kernel on how it optimises the usage of battery.
There are lots of tips to save battery. Google it.
You can use battery tweaks to get more performance in less consumption.
As there is no Ambient Light Sensor on Samsung Galaxy Y, I suggest you to adjust brightness often to save some life on the battery.
What I am hearing from you is new. I never heard that odexing a rom will increase battery life. I think you misunderstood it. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
You can follow a trick that is opted by me:
Charge your phone completely without disturbing.
Then use it until the battery reached 5% or nearby.
Then charge it again completely without disturbing.
This type of charging will help you get more battery life.
Press thanks if I have helped.

I agree. The key to save battery depends both on charging and the use you make of your phone. Battery saving tips are:
1. Disable animations.
2. Select a simple PNG, JPEG or BMP picture for home screen wallpaper, instead of a live wallpaper.
3. Adjust your brightness where you want to.
4. Use a launcher which doesn't consume a lot of RAM.
You can Google to learn more methods.
I hope I was helpful, if I was, you know what to do.

I agree with the_pirate_predator
that charging should be done 100% without disturbance and again put on charger when battery is approximately 5-10%. It is also suggested for other batteries like vehicle, UPS batteries etc.

using CWM........Busybox commands........ No I use my hands
it depends on many things..like roms kernels.. tweaks u uses.. use a good rom.. cm7 roms are more battery friendly than any other roms..
