My battery life on cyanogen six is down right awful. Every day I charge it at night and when I go to bed even if I don't use it its at 15%
Isn't there anything I can do?

I, as well, see about a 1%/hour drain when my phone is not in use.
Usually, unruly battery drain is due to a rouge application you have installed.
I'm getting better than ever battery life on CM6.
Try charging all the way, reboot into recovery, wipe battery stats, charge all the way again.

I did something similar... I got it to warning (15%) and then erased battery stats... I then ran my my phone until it died and died again... after that it shouldn't get past boot if so then proceed to boot it into bootloader. The bootloaders white screen should drain back up battery quickly so only leave it on for only 2-3 mins. Charge it fully powered off and enjoy 15+ hours uptime!
my battery sucks ass too it was never like this before??? kernel??? could a different kernel fix this issue..if so which is the best please be specific so many kernel to choose if any...please help..thanks!
does the phone radio matter because im using the 5.8.4 i believe..

cyan 6 has had terrible battery life for me. so i switched back to leofroyo latest beta rom and got back my 3hr/% standby battery life. with widgets and email checking every 30 minutes. i'm down to 2hr/% in standby. usually in a day i lose 25% battery life with mild internet use and calling. i charge my phone every two days. can't beat that.
Try manually closing all applications & services that are not vital to your phone, then test over a day or two. If that doesn't work, try a different kernel.
Okay I've had about enough of this. It goes down to 15% every day EVEN IF I DON'T USE IT AT ALL
Could someone recommend me the best battery life rom in town, even if it's the stock one?

This one is good. Best in town is hard to judge, but a lot of people enjoy the battery and stability:

Try blackbar v6.1 or stockbar v6.1. Those are the FRF91 build. I haven't tried the FRG33 but it's probably pretty great as well. The first post lists the changes from stock.
I'm fighting with battery life too, but problem is not when in standby where it uses less than 1% per hour, but actually using it (browsing) you can see battery lose 1% every two minutes... is it like that for you guys also? Really frustrating me...

Don't do this. Draining lithium ion batteries to completely dead is one off the worst things you can do to those batteries. It kills off their capacity
Charge to full, turn off phone and charge again until led turns green again, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
15 hour uptime is average not excellent

This is an excellent ROM. i've used it until i switched over to LeoFroyo. They both use the stock kernel and in my opinion i think its th best.
i also like to downclock the processor down to 800mhz with setcpu. definitely helps with the battery drain while using the phone. Non of those 925mv kernels help out in my experience.
Well I run go chat and msn constantly, I use 40 percent display, wifi, 3g, sync, etc and its about double the length I got when it was stock. Right now at 12% and I'm at 16 hours and 32 minutes! I wipe battery stats every time I flash a new radio also it seems to help

This is way better battery life than what I get on Enom's, but I get consistantly 14hours to about 15% and I use my phone a LOT.
Really eh... Well il be sure to check out some new enoms! I'm feeling this nxsense too 13 hour first day not bad for porky sense

Heavy for me means more than 3 hours on the screen being on... as im constantly using my nexus... i just cant put the thing down for a min.. and yeap enom's rom with wildmonks kernel really helps the battery..

same here on enoms. battery drain on cm6 was one of the main reasons i jumped ship to enoms
i use the latest release, 3.3 version and my battery drains in like 10 hrs of normal usage...
the worst part is that upto 95% of battery is consumed just by display?
i used to get 2 days of battery backup previously on the official Rom.
i tried re flashing kyrillos Rom yesterday and i still get the same problem :’(
is there something i am missing?
or should i wait for atleast 1 week after flashing?
I don't know, but you can also install Juice devender from the market
I like that app. Now the battery has a longer life: 2 days.
The battery seems to be a problem indeed with our devices. Mine was on 5% for 12hrs yesterday.
I've read advice from Lestat, I think, to charge the battery completely before flashing.
I've yet to test it though.

awesome bro, will reply here with the results soon......
does some1 know a fix to show my battery in units in stead of dozens? srry for my english^^
boom....battery at 60%, 25 hours and still.running ( but can only say its because of this when i get home....because right now my cell phone is in airplane mode)
thanks
i think i know why i am loosing battery very fast
It may have to do with cpu scaling also.I installed cpu master and saw that the cpu is always on 667mhz and not down-scaling when not in use.
Kyrillos 3.3 rom
try using SetCPU...
clarkkov said:
This depends on the network you use, but you can set your phone to use only GSM network or only WCDMA network in the Mobile network settings, if you are located in area where your network switches constantly because of a weak signal your battery will drain itself because of constant refreshing and switching between GSM and WCDMA networks. WCDMA (3G) network uses more battery even if not switching.

Thanks, mine is set to GSM only, since i don't use 3G..
I tested my phone again now for the past two days and found out that it comes for like 20-24 hrs in moderate (daily usage), which is ok for me....
the battery first reduces to 80% in the first 1 hour (even with minimum usage, don't know why this happens), and then it stays at 80-60% for like 15-16 hrs...
I got this problem in Kyrillos 3.0beta version...but now in 3.3 its fine...i can use mine till 2.5 days...widout task manager!!! :-/ i dunno...!!! Juicedefender works cool for sum ppl!!!! the oder solution try Indroid 3.0 - it has better battery backup!
clarkkov said:
You should callibrate your battery with one of the callibration apps, or charge to 100% and then delete battery stats file manualy. Then discarge your battery completely so the phone switches off. The next cycle should be better. Those first 20% percent do go faster than the rest of the battery.

I installed the calibration app. It said i have to charge it till 100 % and then click calibrate....
I did and now iam 50% in just 7 hours....
So should i let the phone discharge completely?
By the way i flashed with jpm earlier with half battery left....

After calibration one more cycle will be short. The next cycle will be at least double battery life. I get 30+ hours with moderate use (wifi, calls, sms, light games with GSM non-stop) now. I can also recommend Juice defender as an aid for battery conser ation. setCPU doesn't help.

true , true, true thanks for confirming
still 30 hours isnt enough, its roughly a day.
With 2.1 original firmware and data activated all day i could get 50hrs minimum of battery life.
I'm done with this phone, done trying different roms, calibrating batteries, charging and discharges in less than a day.
i think this phone rocks, except its battery life sucks!
im selling it to change for something with better battery, maybe bb?

Battery problems is from ext4! You can convert all partitions to ext2 with normal battery life but with more chances for data to lost if you remove the battery!

I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.
Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.
I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome
how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

VS995, Rooted, been running WETA since last January.
------------
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
Hi, I didn't find a Q/A thread so I ask here.
I came from a rn4. I loved to use Los ext, it was one of the best rom for battery life. Now I am with miui 11 stock and debloated (I removed almost all ****), but still I m having a battery drain. In fact tonight it used 5% of battery in less than 8 hours with wifi and screen rotation only. I think it's too much!!
I red that some people can last their android battery up to 3 days with 4 hours sot, and I was stupified.
So which is the best rom at the moment for rn7, looking at: stability, smoothness, battery life, gaming, customization?
Does Mi app like themes, fonts, etc are removed normally in roms, and if yes, do developer create their own menu in setting for these things?
Who is using the Rom that will suggest me, which SOT you get and how much battery drain do you have in 8hours sleeping time with wifi only?
Thank you a lot! ?
When system running ok i got always the same sot on each rom i tested.
Stock Global, xiaomi.eu 10 and 11, pixelex 9+ and LOS16.
in each rom i mostly get 2 days with 6-7 h SOT.
battery drain over night in flight mode only 1-2%.
no big differences in the Roms for me.

That is still way too much for such a big battery ESPECIALLY in Airplane mode. It should NOT drain a single % of battery during more than 12h of idle, where as right now it can hit up to 10% for me, which is just unacceptable
For me, my phone doesn't lose any single percent of battery in 12h, in airplane mode

There are actually massive differences... IMHO one of the best ROM's is not even on XDA. https://os.revtechs.me
after a new install of LOS 16......
last 2 nights in airplane mode i didnt lost any percent.
first complete akku charce i got easyly 8h+ SOT
maybe old install was faulty....

HI, are you using some of them? How much sot?
It seems that rooting and using Roms on this phone is pretty useless on the battery side, because nobody talks about 9-11 hours of sot using roms.

Rooting is absolutely no problem and who ever presumes having 9-11 SOT is simply hallucinating... 7-8h is realistic... I don't even want to imagine how sad individual lives are being staring at a phone 8h out of a 24h day...
