Between DamageControl, Aloyious, ZenEXP, and Fresh 2.0D, which ROM has the best overall battery life, I need to test it. Took my phone to sprint because I fully charged, and unplugged and it shot straight to 75%, then died in 2.5hrs. I then charged it for 2hrs and unplugged, straight to 14% low warning, then in 3 mins on NO USAGE, it game me the 9% warning, so which is best on battery
Thanks In Advance,

Sounds like its a physical battery problem to me. Otherwise, personally i've only tried DC and Fresh. Both have great battery life and ultimately, it just came down to preference between the two for my decision.
on a side-note...don't think this belongs in this thread.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, i felt like it belonged here because it is a ROM question. Sprint tested the battery, all seems well...said its probably because of my "setup". he said go back to original and see if its better, if not he will replace it. But i dont want original, I want 2.1
thanks,

None of the roms I have tested killed the battery that fast. The worst was 6 hours with Fresh Toast 2.0b and that has been fixed. You have a physical problem with the phone or battery. Never believe a Sprint rep.

Yeah.. That's definitely not a ROM issue. Get your battery/phone replaced.
Okay, well I have just put DC back on and I will see what comes of it. About how long should my phone last using moderate texting, maybe 2-3 short calls and about 65% time w/o signal (happens when I'm at work, cant use airplane mode because of my children)?
Thanks,

It should AT THE VERY LEAST get through a work day. Even when I was using Fresh Toast 2.0b1 with the 100% awake time, I would get to the end of a 7 hour shift at work, albeit, it was at about 18% when I got home.. But thats with the phone being awake for 8 hours straight.
Hm, alrighty, ill run through tomorrow at work with DC on it, and ill post back
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the input!

Damage Control Battery Usage
I've been using Damage Control ROM with PRL set to CDMA auto. I use the phone for sending and receiving texts/phone calls all day. I check Facebook periodically and I do searches on the internet throughout the day. To give you an idea of my battery statistics for the last 23 hours (off charge):
Up Time:22:34
Awake Time: 1:29
TWS: 0%
Current battery level: 50%
Needless to say, I'm happy with my current battery usage.
Yesterday after 15 hours I still had over 30% remaining using FreshToast 2.0b2 with SetCPU on "performance."
Have you tried calibrating the battery?
1. Charge it to full.
2. Boot in recovery.
3. Select wipe.
4. Wipe battery stats.
5. Use phone until it dies.
6. Recharge phone to full.
Or get a extended battery and not worry bout it.

i have the extended battery.. and I barely get a day out of mine with fresh 2.0d. And most of its time is spent in standby.. It was fully charged when I went to bed last night.. and was almost dead when I woke up... 12a to 9a..... the extended battery lasts about as good as the standard, IMO
I am gonna take a guess and say it was 9.95 and from Hong Kong.

There's definitely something wrong with that picture.. If you had it fully charged when you went to sleep, and nearly dead in the AM.. I would say that you've got either 100% Awake time OR A ****ed up battery..
I've went to bed with the phone off the charger at 100% and it was down to maybe 85 when I woke up 8 hours later.
EDIT : Stock Battery, and at that specific time I think I was running IceRom, or DC2.07.2..

lol regardless of roms etc even with my seidio 3500 mAh extended battery with heavy heavy useage i can still make it 10 hours np.. with light 2 days np.. u must have one of those cheap ebay batts. that are between 1500 mAh and 2000 mAh..lol

Nope, I got the seidio one. My husbands phone has the same seidio battery.. but 1.5 and he says his works great.. so, hell maybe its something Im doing. I did just update to the latest fresh 2.1 rom, so we'll see.
It did seem to last longer while roaming, though.. I have a airave at home, but not at the farm... and it lasted well over a day while roaming.

YEah actually, my new born daughter is scared of airplane mode since she was 6 weeks early, spent 3 weeks in west penn NICU and got sent home on a monitor because she has bradycardia and respiratory distress. So just go somewhere else, because ur not needed here if you are just going to poke fun at my post. I'm looking for mature suggestions, which is what these forums are for, people to ask questions and other ppl to give INTELLIGIBLE responses.
Hey guys just realized that my Atrix is draining battery even when my phone is powered off. I turn it off for about 2 hours and when I turn it back on I've lost 2%. Nothing too significant but was wondering is this normal because I've never noticed something like this on all the other phones before.

What app are you using to read the battery in 1% increments?
One idea is that the built in battery monitor only displays in 10% increments so if you have a battery monitor that uses 1% then that is because it is directly reading the mV and not using the system default. So what probably happened was, the battery monitor you were using hadn't refreshed before turning the phone off. I use Circle Battery Widget and I have noticed it goes up a few percentages or down a couple when I do a reboot.
The boot up process is probably responsible for that drain in battery.

That could be it as well.
Im using Circle Battery Widget to display in 1% increments. From what I've seen it is pretty spot on since I've watched it.go down to 1% and then my phone shuts off.
But I have thought that the reboot process would take up some battery just didn't know how much...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
nothing is using power when your phone is off its just your phone reading the battery wrong when you restart. i get this all the time with my captivate when i reboot, sometimes i loose a few percent and sometime up to 20%. this is not permanent and will be fine after the next recharge.

You also have to remember that any battery monitor is not going to be 100% accurate so even a 2% margin error is still pretty good
why are you powering off anyways? Even if you do, you can always just pull the battery just to make sure...
Actually I think I have that problem too... Powered off my Atrix last night at 22% (using circle battery widget) & took out the Battery and SIM card so I could play around with my N1 again. 12 hours later, I put everything back in, power up my Atrix, and it reads at 14% battery life. And I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't need 7-8% battery to just power up...
My Atrix battery was completely left alone, not even inside the phone during those 12 hours. What's up with that?

Circle Battery Widget has to use its own method for reading the battery level and it also doesn't refresh constantly. The other day my meter dropped from 72 to 66 instantaneously while I was using the phone. It's the nature of the beast.
Thanks for all the feedback...
2% doesnt seem like that big of deal but I really actually wanted to understand the inner workings on the phone then really complain about the widget or the phone...
I have to power off the phone when I'm at work because I don't get reception at work so 8 hours of my phone searching for network = no good for my battery life lol
To me circular battery widget used to be point on, but after the update this week, it seems to show flaws. My widget displayed 69% for over an hour yesterday. I was browsing the internet, texting, and talked on the phone for a few minutes, so I know it wasn't correct. Then I checked status in settings, the phone said 50%. So even if I was @ 59% or 54%, thats nowhere near 69%.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
Before I left the house to go to work, my 10.1 Tab (Google I/O Limited Edition, rooted with 3.1) was at around 80%. I get home 9 hours later and the battery is completely drained. I plugged it in to the charger and turned it back on to see the battery at 1%. That just doesn't seem right to me. I can usually go about 2 days without putting it on the charger.
I've attached an image of the Battery Use graph, you can see it just drops like a cliff for no apparent reason. Has this happened to anybody else? Also, I just noticed that the time it was off (approximately 9 hours) is missing from the graph, so it only shows just under 5 hours.
I had the same issue last night. It had ~40% battery left when I went to sleep last night and this morning it wouldn't turn on, so I plugged in the charger and found the battery drained completely.
Interesting that it happened for you the same night. For me, it seemed to have happened around 5-6pm Pacific time on June 23. I don't know the exact time because I didn't have it with me at the time.
Happened the same to me a couple of weeks ago.
Battery was at 40% and overnight went to 0% and the tablet turned off.
Very weird
Came home to find mine with the screen on but completely black so you could BARELY tell it was on. Had to reboot as it wouldn't respond. When it did I only had 20% charge. I had unplugged it about 5 hrs earlier and left it with about 95% charge. Only happened once though so I haven't worried too much, maybe a similar issue though

If I had to hazard a guess.. it would probably have been a runaway process in the background somewhere that totally drained the battery. If it was the battery itself losing a charge like that, I would be worried.... When batteries discharge like that for no reason, they can actually explode... (it is rare, but possible..not trying to cause a panic).

Wouldn't a runaway process drain the battery slowly over time? This seems to have happened instantly.
I really hope i dont find mine doing this... If I watched a laptop do it I would say the battery was shot. Now that its been charged does it hold a charge just as good as it was prior?
Im jealous you got the google I/O tab, was trying to get one on ebay but to hell with spending all that money for an army of androids you wil never see in a case. I heard they were giving them away for free @ the conference...

I have had my tab 3 days unrooted. I left it last night at 85% and came home several hours later with the battery totally drained.
Will wait and see. Mine boot, battery 44%, not sure a wall charge in 30 some minutes can charge this much. Battery usage found no clues, no sign of sudden drop......
Yep just happened to me Also. This is a real problem.
first to make sure these power saving settigs are alright ,especially gps which will be turned on by so many location iasking apps.
i originally thought it happened twice on me . now i got to. say the first time my gps is on ,second time , the 10.1 looks no response /dead , but press power burton longer, it will be back in desktop without boot,kind of like hibernation on pc ......maybe after a quite long time no activity, 10.1 manage to hibernate itself .....just guessing

i just had this happen to my 7" gt. never happened before.
Maps, for some reason, has been quite active even though I haven't used it in a while. I am not logged in to Latitude or anything so I don't know what gives. Also, CNN and USA Today apps seem to consistently get active on 1-5 hour intervals even though I disabled Notifications, etc. Anyone knows the reasoning?!
Last night I was browsing the web at about 30% battery, when my tab just clicked off out of nowhere. I wasn't able to turn it back on until I'd plugged it in. Once I got it back on it showed 1% battery.
Very weird...
battery issue
So last night im surfing the web battery is about 65% suddenly the remove charger battery full message pops up and the indicator says i have %100 full? I hadnt charged it in 4 hours.

So I have the AT&T version of this device it's very nice and I love it ! But my device charged to 100% at 10pm or so Thursday night so I unplugged it and let it set while I slept away! Wifi was on and so was mobile data , long story short I woke up and my phone was at 69% and all wake locks were fine and battery info said device idle was main culprit? So has anyone else seen this and know how to make it stay a little closer to the 90% radius? This is way to much to drain on idle ?

Put it on airplane mode if you're going to leave it unplugged overnight and are concerned about battery loss
Same thing happened with my phone last night for the first time device idle came up. Phone was in airplane mode, wifi off. One thing that could trigger it is that I've used my phone as a hard drive before laying it off for the night.
Hi. Could some one tell me whag just happened? Before bed i charged my phone to 100%. I went to sleep and I wake up with 69% left. I just went on boom beach for a minute and on Internet to write this post and its already fallen to 66%...
I have screenshoted the info from samsung settings battery stats and from Gsambattery.
Btw usually i get about 4.5-5.5 hrs of SoT sometime even 6 amd sometime only 4. And this past few days ive been a little bit outside of the city centre and its a very low signal here. Like one bar as you can see. But 1 bar of signal cannot drain my battery for 31% during night or what? And i have AOD disabled from 00.00 - 6.00 and dont have night watch disabled. And druing sleep i only had wifi on. And i have been out of city center for 3 days now and i cant remember this happening on day 1 or day 2

I am not the op, and if you see the cell standby has drained less than 100mah which should be like 300 or more to drain 36% of battery
So anyways... Any suggestions? Should i maybe restart the phone? This happened for the first time now. I will see how its tonight. But i also think this isnt normal. 31% overnight... I just hope it was/is something with software or maybe an app or something. I hope it not a broken battery. Although i dont know how one day it works okay and next day its broken, but oh well.
i have also been having this same issue. overnight the battery curve is normally almost flat an now the past 2 nights I wake in the morning almost dead and when I check the graph its as if im using the phone and with very heavy usage at that. I was wondering if it was a rouge app but after looking at it no app was using power. I'll send some pictures at some later time today when I get a chance. I have a 935T by the way.

It happend to me too, not 31% overnight but something like 8-10%. What i did to solve it: went to location/improve accuracy and i disabled wifi always scanning and now it`s 2-3% over 8 hours with wifi on. Also i have 2 bars on LTE at home. 935F here.

Well i have location turned off all the time. I only turn it on when i need it.
This last 2 days have been ok. There wasnt that much drain overnight. I wasnt really checking how much it drained (i found that it usually drains me about 4-6% overnight, AOD off, all else off) i was just checking if it would be a really high drain like that 31% one. But it wasnt since the one i posted here so idk what caused that...
I do remember something else odd tho. Last week when i was charging my phone overnight i remember waking up in the middle of the night and it was really hot. I left it charging till morning and it was still quite hot, idk why.
And sth else also, my cat chewed my cable yestrday so i had to buy a new cable for charhing. I bought puro cable, 2m long, fast charge technology. And i think my phone now charges more slowly. I am not sure but i just think. It said it will charge 2hrs and 15min from 23%-100%. I dont remember if it was the same with old, original samsung cable or if that one was faster. And when i said i charged it overnight and when saying about how long it estimated the charge time i am talking about normal charhing and NOT about fast charging. I only fast charge when in a hurry. But anywaya i thought to post these things if it maybe has anything to do with anything at all.
Gotta lay off those late night videos.
