Why do we got the problems with our BATTERYs ?!

So... I was wondering... WHY DO WE GOT THAT PROBLEMS !?
If we take the NEXUS S Rom and convert it for our PHONES (GT540), where is the TRICK ? Why do we get that problems with the battery and te NEXUS S users not ?!
NEXUS S got the same battery like GT540 and after the GSMarena compare, the GT540 takes it much better then the NEXUS S !
CAN someone explain it maybe ?! Cause I really dont understand

Its the rom itself not the battery.

I know that thx for the reply... But where is the TRICK, why is the ROM quilty for that probs, why is everything else working just perfect and just the battery not ?!
Im sry for that topic and for that question, but Im gonna sell my phone cause of the freakin ****ty battery lifes on every better ROM

Well the rom has a file with the battery calculator. And this isnt calibrated right for all roms.
Also most roms are still under active development so dont get your hopes up about good battery life etc etc

I think battery problem have something with kernel, on 2.1 i use 4 diferent kernel (orginal lg, 666 infernal, quarx, pcfighter) and every kernel have diferent battery life, diferente dischargin steps. So... no orginal kernel no good battery life.

THX for you answer !

I have a Nexus S. The battery lasts 1 day If I use .It is not overclocked (yet) . The battery is same on gt540 it lasts 1 day if I use it.See the attached screenshots from my Nexus S.

What I usually do is that after the battery is charged to 100%, I reboot the phone in recovery and keep it plugged in and charge for anther 15 mins. That seems to give me an additional 1 hour as my phone stays at 100% for at-least an hour before falling back to 99%.

I have had my phone off charge for 5 hours and its sitting on 95%.

Really god i need to invest time in re calibrating mines shocking 13hrs then it died

Battery depends on few things.
1. Kernel
2. Rom itself
3. It will drain faster with data on.
4. Some crapy apps kill your battery.
Choose kernel and rom wisely. Turn off your data if you don't need it. Uninstall unnecessary apps

FOR all those WHO GOT the same problem like me...
I fingered out how my battery is holding for 4 days now...
When you plugin your phone into charge mode... just dont let it to go into "SCREEN OFF"... make your Screen OFF to 30minutes and just hit the screen every 25 mins... or just install an app which doesent allow your phone to autoScreenOff it
After this lil trick... it just works for me now... I hit 113Hours with this trick on Muraiks M6 Version !!!!!!!!!

It could be for a number of reasons. For one, is 3g on a lot? Do you game? Read Twitter, Facebook or Google+? Live WP, ect. We need more details please.

I agree with kilometers4. Better battery stats & cpu spy work well. I also suggest you download a battery calibration app. When I updated to Jelly Bean on my S3, the battery life sucked. But once I calibrated for a few cycles, it's great now. Same for my Nexus 7.

try switching to official CM10.1. Im getting 9hrs screen on time with it

I'm gonna hafta concur with this guy. However, I was having the same problem.
I used my keyboard to type into the search bar "bad battery life",
I looked at some similar titled threads and decided to look through this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783390&page=3&highlight=nexus+7+not+charging
I followed the directions.
I did profit.
Next time use the search bar, and don't get butthurt when someone teases you a little. It's called the internet get used to it. And your a senior member you should know that.

When my nexus was brand new, i also had a few battery issues. But got it fixed after fully discharging the device a few times. Make sure it charges to 100% inbetween.

I find it kinda strange you only getting 3 hours out of it. On my Nexus 7 I can get little over 24 hours on a full charge. That's with basic web surfing, xda app, twitter and few YouTube videos.
Course if I do something more demanding like playing games I get less runtime on the battery.

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...

i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time

battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

Any help on sorting this out highly appreciated.

Battery life has increased a lot for me.
No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.

@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.

About battery percentage

Hello everyone,
I m currently on CM 10.1.2, and for the last few days i have noticed that when my phone's battery level goes at around 30 or 33, if i plug in the charger it immediately shows battery full (100% charged). If i keep using my phone the battery percentage goes to 10 or 12 in few seconds/minutes from 30%. It only happens when battery percentage is somewhere between 30 to 35%, other than that works fine. any idea?
Thanks.

I never used it till the battery is that low, either that or I use it till its near 0.
Probably a bad battery file. Try this, go under Interface>system>notificationbar>battery and change it to another type? Like from Circle(percentage) to Text and icon etc.
Other than that, its a bad flash but since u say no other problems then it shouldnt be.

I have had this issue a couple of times, the only thing I do is to reboot the phone or power it off. It seems that the problem is kernel related, when you are charging, it just shows 100% charged after few seconds, but is not really charging. I´m on PA 3.99 and this happens no more.

Well, you could always dirty flash the nightly and see if it fixes it. Not sure if Cm10.1.3 is out yet.

Boot into recovery, go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Alternatively, use a file explorer with root functions and delete /data/system/batterystats.bin. Note that this is from the root directory, not the /sdcard/ or /media/ partitions. Reboot ended you've deleted the file.
You should probably only do this when you're battery is already full.

[Help] Battery Drain Problem

Hi All,
Everything was ok till the day before yesterday. But suddenly from yesterday I am facing a huge battery drain problem i.e. 1% per minute on my S4. I am running the latest version of Arrow Rom.
I did format everything and reinstall Arrow Rom but no luck. Then I restored my previous Stock CWM backup and again problem is same.
One more thing my phone's battery is taking too much time to full charge. It takes 5 to 6 minutes to charge 1%. Sometimes it takes more than that.Although my phone is only one year old. When Iam using phone for browsing or chatting with charger plugged in its not charging properly its decreasing.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?

Your battery is more likely to be uncalibrated. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play and follow the steps on how to calibrate it. It requires ROOT. Any other things that can cause this are wakelocks, be careful what kernel you use. You can monitor wakelocks using Wakelock Detector from Google Play.

Or your battery might be a faulty one, check if its swollen

Use power saving mode install stock rom
Auto brightness
Format sd card
Remove unnessesary apps
Stop all unusual apps like google plus hangout and play books etc etc those you don't use.
Disable chrome use dolfin or other's.
If you are using custom kernel or mods like audio mod or performance mods don't use them.
Auto sync off when not needed
If these steps don't work then change the battery
For charging use 2amp charger with a 16amp socket
Use stock usb
Clean your battery's copper area with petrol and also clean your
Usb cable and ports sockets
Hope this will help
And I know my English is not good.
