After successfully booting into android for the first time my battery life in android skyrocketed down, but that didn't really bother me.
The real problem is that even in WINMO my battery life is less than half what it used to be, and even after a night (8 hours) of charging (In a wall socket, not USB) its not at 100%
this has me very worried, any ideas? thanks in advance!
did you read anything before you started this thread...........
yes, i did. everyone is having a problem when they charge in android it gets to 90% then they switch to winmo and within minutes it picks back up to 100%.
this is not the case for me, my battery does not jump back up, it drains quickly even in winmo, and when it gets low its not just reading it improperly it just dies, so no this is not the same problem
did you know there are fixes .......and that your problem is not new at all....i am sorry to say that this is a know problem and you would want to ask in the thread of what build you are using and if you really wanted help you would post what build your using and what kernal , but no one can help you at all when you simply state you have battery issues
drain your battery in winmo till it dies, so the battery resets, then charge the battery again till full, it should be allright again.
thank you dipdap i will try that

I strongly advise you NOT to do so. Draining a Lithium-Ion battery entirely is detrimental to its overall life/capacity. So instead of ruining your battery (or going a step towards ruining it), simply turn off your phone, charge it until you get the green LED, boot back to WinMo and it should be alright. If it isn't, look for another way, but completely draining your battery should not be the method of choice.
nobody said to drain it copletely, just till winmo dies, which should be fine. I do this once every couple of months by accident, and have never had a problem. I agree that you should not drain the battery completely though, so, make sure as soon as winmo dies, plug in to a charger.
what rom are you running? I am using shubcraft 1.5 and mine charges to 99% And I can get a full day out of my battery with pretty decent use.
Are you using setcpu cause that could have a major impact also do you have wifi,gps or bt on. I know gps has been known to cause some major drain while in sleep mode.
There is also a thread where people are trying to find solutions to the high amount of drain in the development forum.
We use current widget to create a log and monitor Our drain. You should be seeing less than 10ma while sleep I usually see between 3-7ma while sleep
Funny how when you are watching your battery it drains faster. When you are watching the clock time goes slower.

It was very helpful for me to identify how much current is being used while in sleep mode and active.
Download "current widget" from market and monitor your current supply for 30 minutes during your phone's screen is off.
Yeah with the screen off you cant see any thing but thankfully the log will be written for the current widget every min.
If your current comes out to be bellow 10ma during this time then you are doing good and should last you one day of usage else you need to pinpoint what is drinking all the juice even while your phone sleeps
Read the thread ALL OF IT, it will help you understand better.
Cheers.
alright thanks for all the help guys, the battery drain actually worked although i felt strange doing it, but still my android life isn't so great, i would love for it to work completely though because the only wquivalent option on my carrier is the Captivate (Galaxy S) and that thing is ugly compared to the HD2
such problem
I have such problem with battery drain under WM, after i run and quit android, but i found a solution, just pull out your battery few times next just recharge it and it will be OK .
Hi to all....
I just wanted to know how much battery drain you guys have cause my galaxy's battery barely even lasts for a day even though i've calibrated the battery(not just once)!!! :S
Please post your drain if you can and with what type of usage you do cause my drain is insane!!!!
Multiple battery drain posts all over the forum and fixes . read them .

You find a lot of topics about battery drains, please read them. Just as an introduction you must know, that after flashing a new Rom and kernel you'll probably get a stupid battery drain, which means that maybe you have 100% all the time, or in the most of the cases you get a HUGE battery drain. I had the same problem, after installing a new ROM, my phone was sucked... at night with wifi and GPS and 3g turned off it lost 60% battery from 100%, so when I woke up I just noticed that I have 40%. It has been resolved automatically. Now I have 3days battery with no hard usage, but it takes 2 days in almost every cases. I'm now Darky 9.5 and Darky Core kernel.

Hello there guys.
I have a really HUGE problem with my battery.
I have the infitum rom, and my battery life is very VERY low.
At 8:00 in morning, I had 100% battery life, ONE HOUR later ( At 9:00) I had 70% battery life.
This is very weird, my battery is getting to 0% after couple hours if i'm not playing games or hearing music.
This thing is not the rom problem, I have tried slims and Doc's master, same battery life.
How I can fix / increase it?!
Please help me.. :O
thank you.

Depends by your phone's usage, if you don't use much your phone but still the battery dies after some hours, you should try re-flashing everything with the wipes
Hi, I experienced some really good battery times back then, but then, when the AK v63 came out and I flashed it, I started to have battery drain. Then I wiped my Nexus 6P and flashed stock AOSP ROM but it didn't help, then I tried PureNexus, but not victory over there too.. I tried any other kernel that worked for me before, but nothing helped - the battery life still something around and less than 3 hours of SOT.
It seems that my phone sometimes does not want to go Dozing and sometimes it keeps WiFi on even when it is turned off...
It seems that there isn't any app or wakelock that is keepong my phone awake and is draining my battery (BetterBatteryStats doesn't show nothing bad)..
I never experienced such a bad battery life on my Nexus 6P.
Can someone help me? Thank you.
P.S.: I can provide more info in case of need.
Hi I have a galaxy s4 i9500, I am rooted and have gear cm13. I've been experiencing extremely poor battery life with the screen on and/or off, losing 1% every minute or so. I've read other threads but it didn't seem to sort out my problem please help me somebody
Install better battery stats to see what's using the most of your battery.
I'm really sorry for the late reply, I installed gsam battery monitor and it told me that android system was using up most of my battery life.....
I followed a thread on the forum about resetting the fuel gauge and my phone is back to the way it should be fortunately,,, although occasionally the battery does tend to drain more quickly than usual, I will download better battery stats to show you what it says
I flashed resurrection remix and my battery life has never been better, all other problems I've been having are also resolved.. Looks like it was just CyanogenMod that was causing the problems :laugh:
