Incredibly RE -engineered questions - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've flashed over to incredibly RE-engineered and I heard about the great battery life and speed. I sure did have a more noticeable speed improvement but my battery life hasn't gotten any better. Any reasons why this might be? And for some reason I can't load any videos off hulu either. Anyone have these similar problems?

Everyone's battery life is different because everyone uses their phone differently. One person may get great battery life because they don't do much with the phone, and someone else will try the same, but they do a lot of streaming, web browsing, etc and have horrible battery life. It's all trial and error until YOU find the combination that works well for YOU.
And the hulu problem I believe there is a fix for it in the thread. Search the thread for Hulu and you should be able to find it. (I am not sure of this because I don't use the rom, but I believe I read something about it when I tried it out.)

Battery life if tough to compare due to reasons above. When I was syncing a corporate email account via active sync I was getting 9-10 hours o this rom. I am no longer using active sync and right now am at 15 hrs 37 minutes since unplugged at 62%. Awake time is about 5 hours on this charge. This is with stock battery.
Exchange active sync is a hog.

I use my phone pretty often and Im usually texting and browsing on the net. But my battery life is maybe 6 or 7 hours? I haven't really gone all the way down to empty but that seems about right. Is that decent?

That's not quite good. On my stock battery I'm getting around 15-25 depending on use. Maybe check your settings for battery hogs?
I'm using chads kernel, have sync on every hour for weather and my friend stream tied accounts.no gps on though.

I'm not sure what's wrong with my phone. My battery usage says that most of my battery is being used by cell standby and the android system. Should I reflash the rom and see if that helps? I want incredible battery life too this battery life is pretty much the same as a stock rom which is why I flashed in the first place : more battery life!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I'm not a power user but I get better battery life with this ROM. Yeah, maybe you should wipe and re-install the ROM. I would then not install any apps and see what your battery life is like. Disable auto-syncing too. Maybe you have an app sucking the battery down.

Is there an app that i can download to monitor my battery usage? I know you can check it through the "About Systems " menu but I almost don't trust it.

Running a faster rom like re engineered, if battery life is super important, you can use setcpu to underclock slightly at all times, and lot at screen off. It comes with a lou's kernel, which he doesn't recommend using setcpu with, but I've always had great luck with king klix kernals, which also undervolt.

The funny thing about kernels is that it changes from phone to phone, I may get the best battery life with kings#9 and it might drain you're phone faster than there before.... I use calks 1.4 with kk#9 and I'm getting the best battery life I've ever seen with the evo. Else check to see if ur phone is sleeping properly.

I don't expect to convince anyone to go back to stock, but the newer ota updates and roms have fantastic battery life. I can't say that I have noticed any difference in battery life with the 3.30 but I haven't taken he time to observe. But 3.29 was a big improvement, or so it seemed.
I go about 40 before charging. And I'm a heavy user.

what kind of numbers are you getting??

High AOS, cell standby and idle on omfgb?

I have been browsing these forums for a long time since I owned a hero and flashing roms and stuff is not new to me so I understand the basic functions quite well.
My question is, is there anything I can do to lower these usages using aosp roms? So far using the latest omfgb nightly, my battery has been qoing quite well(13 total hours but that's with a mix of heavy use) using tiamat 3.3.7 SBC kernel with no undervolting or overclocking using the smartass scale. But I feel it could be better without such high usage. After a fresh charge, my cell standby and idle are about 50/50. The only other thing I can think of doing is turning off the proximity sensors(but I can't find the zip). Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I am on HW003 and all the latest radios and pri. I am not sure about the NV but as soon as I find the latest one I will be sure to flash it and update any changes

If battery isn't draining more then usual your fine u have those #s and no issues
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Don't worry so much. Your battery has to be used some way, and after 13 hours that's just what uses it most. It isn't to say that they are using too much and you need to fix it, because your battery can only last so long without UVing and such. You could put your phone in airplane mode, but that is pointless.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Now after a few days running this rom battery life seems to be decreasing even though nothing changes with the battery use. Keep in mind I I only got 13 hours with 8 hours of my phone being completely idle(gotta sleep sometime lol). I ran Pandora for an hour then sent texts here and there throughout the day until it died. Never used GPS. For some reason it doesn't matter what rom I use, battery usually drains at the same rate as described. No matter what tweaks I make to try and increase it

ics and battery life

At first my girlfriend had her Nexus S updated to ics and immediately we noticed a huge difference in how long her battery lasted and she is the furthest thing from a heavy user.
So when I heard that ics ws being released for our phone my first thought was i hope that what she experienced won't be what i do as we have a better phone right?
Well I am sad to say on a stock but rooted rom I experience the same lack of battery life as her.
Now I am no beginner to Android and have changed all sorts of settings available and nothing syncs on its own and when I unplug my phone from charging in the morning I will need to plug my phone in at night before bed as my phone will be completely dead.
I have to say I am very disappointed in the battery life of thr the stock rom and hope some good kernels make it out to help.

Have you tried to find out which app/process is draining your battery? Better Battery Stats can help you identify what is using up your battery.
I had a big keep awake problem when i first installed stock ICS on my T989D. I did a full wipe of the phone and formatted my internal SD card (after backing things up of course), reinstall the same stock ICS and everything works great now. Battery life is about the same as before (stock GB w/ Synergy kernel), which is about 30 hours with moderate use.
Try CM 9. I get almost 2 days of battery life.

Though I am now on AOKP, I had great battery life on stock ICS as well. But, everything is subjective. How many email accounts are being synced? Do you have Facebook / Twitter / G+ updating every hour? Do you have news feeds continuously updating as well?
I have to agree with the poster above. Get Better Battery Stats and find the culprit draining your battery and work from there.
biggest thing draining the battery is the screen.
you can literally watch the battery usage drop 10-15% in a period of 10 to 15 minutes which is absurd when its set to low.

Wait for kernel development. Its underway as we speak. It will make a significant difference.
Some battery saving tips:
- use juicedefender and set it to aggressive mode.
- use romtoolbox or other programs to underclock cpu frequency.
- also try using telus stock ics. Very good battery life.

I have a brand new T989D (I'm new to Android, former iPhone user) and got the ICS upgrade the day I got it (9 days ago). Battery life is terrible, I'm lucky if I get 10 hours of moderate usage. The phone also tends to run very, very hot. Sometimes apps freeze and all I can do is either wait or, in some cases, remove the battery to reboot.
I'm open to any tips that will get this fixed! I haven't rooted yet (no time). I think I will try those wipe tools and reflash the stock ICS ROM.
First post btw - glad to have joined XDA!

Stock, not rooted, my battery life is great. Something is using your battery up, and flashing some exotic kernel isn't going to change that. The stock kernel works fine. You'll want to find the root of the problem. Keep a real-time (or 1-5s interval anyway) eye on the phone's current (mA) usage, and when it's high for no apparent reason, you'll know that whatever is sucking your battery is doing it right then. That should help you characterize the problem. I've noticed when my WCDMA/GSM radio signal sucks, so does the battery life, so I either turn off the radio or switch to GSM only when I'm in that area. If your display is what's eating your battery, well a kernel can't stop that. Turn the brightness down, leave it on auto-brightness, or just deal with it if you need the display on all the time. But if tweaking and modding makes you happy, by all means...

I have the same complaint. The "screen" battery usage is just unacceptable, especially compared to GB. My phone has been draining from a full charge for ~4.5 hours and my screen usage is 70% and battery is down to 65% with hardly 10 minutes of screen-on time.
I use an app called autostarts and you basically enable/disable apps that start running when certain events happen (phone startup, wifi being turned on, incoming call/sms/mms, other apps turning on, etc.). Just make sure you do your homework so you dont disable something critical. Hopefully this app works on ICS. You'll be surprised what different events make certain apps turn on automaticly. Screen, data/wifi, gps and bluetooth are the biggest battery drainers. No matter what Rom you are on if you don't keep control of those items your battery will drain fast. Keep ur screen on auto, let it go off @ 15 seconds ( you have to be pretty used to your phone for that setting not to annoy you), turn OFF your data or wifi when not in use. With bluetooth and gps...well u know that when you use them your battery is gonna drain faster than normal...just keep that in mind. Its all pretty much common sense.
I'm not going to tell you how much battery time I get cuz its nonsense. There are times my phone lasts till the next day and others Im charging it by sundown. Then again Im still on Juggs n Darkside kernel and Im gonna wait a bit still b4 I make the switch. Also don't go by what other people say on battery life cuz if you might not get the same results on that ROM. Everyone of our devices is unique and acts different. Everyone user uses their phone different. You can't define "light, moderate, heavy" use so don't go by that either.

After upgrading to ICS stock unrooted battery life sucked (5-6hrs). I did the whole remove battery, factory reset and still sucked.
Broke down rooted (still stock), downloaded batterycalibration from play, followed the instructions. Easily get over 24hrs before having to charge again. and when I say easily, I mean I still have over 25% left.

Bingo. Vastly different battery life between ROM's is generally BS. Every once in a great while one of these threads has merit but typically someone saying ROM X had "Killer" battery life is clueless and drinking the koolaid. Then a placebo effect takes place. And definitely someones "Heavy" use is subjective. If someone says they get a day out of an android phone they are not heavy users by my definition. It doesn't happen with heavy use. Perhaps the Razr Maxx or another phone with a very large battery but I've had 5 Android phones. If I get past noon it's because I am not using my phone that much and forget about a full day. It's never happened in the 4 years I've used google OS phones. Never.

Yes exactly, I hate when people post screenshots of their phone getting 24+ hours, I'm there thinking "well obviously they don't use their phone alot". There is no way in hell i could get 24 hours no matter what rom/kernal I use. Im just happy when my phone can make it till I get home at night

[Q] What are you currently doing to increase battery life?

We all know our GS2 runs out of Battery at a faster rate than what we would like! I'm just curious, what steps do You take to increase battery life, if any.
-Do you use certain apps?
-Do you enable/disable certain things and certain times?
-Anything, ever the smallest things you do, I would like to know!
I'm just curious to see what different people do to strengthen their battery.

Im running FK23 leaked rooted with stock kernel. I use powersave mode that comes in stock settings app.
I don't limit cpu. I use phone to txt, play games, youtube, facebook, twitter, and instagram and google play store.
I get around 14+ hours usage.
Also, I try to use WIFI whenever I can. I turn off GPS when not needed. I dont use 4G often as 3G is pretty good on FK23.
Lasts me from 7:45AM to 10:27PM as of now on 1%.
Wow, and how much do you use you're phone throughout the day? I'm just looking for new ideas because I do several things to increase my battery length, but I find myself around 50% in the first 2-3 hours of my 11 hour day. :/

I bought a cheap ($10) extended battery and cover, and a cheap ($9) TPU case/ At 14 hours, I still had 61% battery left. I can get a full legitimate day out of it running 2.3's, but I am going to try JB and ICS again and see where it's at.
I run KingKang with the JB tweaks package. I also modified my build.prop for both performance and battery life. Plus I toggle my 3G on only when I need it. If I have a WiFi signal I'll do the same with that. I average 17 hours but sometimes I get more than 24. Inverted apps not only look great, but help with battery too.

I did the same as you until the fk23 leak came out. Calkulin's v3.0 gb is amazing for battery life, smoothness, and functionality. I was never fully satisfied with any of the ics solutions, stock or custom.
Although the fk23 battery life isnt as good as calkulin, I'm still using it as my daily driver bc it's jellybean and cool, the phone runs well and smooth, and battery is good enough for me.
To answer the op's question, I do the following to help extend my battery life:
1. Leave off all data unless I need to use it (3g, 4g, wifi).
2. Turn of autosync and only sync as needed.
3. Remove bloatware and/or freeze any unnecessary apps (use GSM battery and OS monitor to find battery hog apps).
4. Leave off GPS unless needed.
5. Set screen brightness lower.
Here's a link to my FK23 results over in the battery thread in General:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34924972&postcount=534
I've only owned this phone since after the ICS update, so never tried any GB ROM.
The ICS ROM I've had the most success with is Re-Calked, but FK23 takes it just a step further for me. I know some people have been reporting issues with FK23, but for me it has been rock solid and has been my DD for nearly a week now.
Blu Kuban also did well with battery life, but it is a little over-customized for my liking. I also had some stability issues with BK. I used sleshpics M'ICS build for a while too ... again, over customized for my liking. Good performance and relatively stable. Also, I have never been able to get 4G speeds on any other ROM/kernel like I'm seeing now.
If I'm in an area with a strong cellular signal, I can get over 24h with 3h+ screen time both on and off WiFi. If the cell signal is week, I burn from 5-7%/h so maybe 15-16h if I was there all day ... but that would obv. improve if I threw it into airplane mode.
I have frozen all of the bloatware apps, don't have Google Now activated. Other than that, I allow syncing to occur per default. I don't have FB app installed.
I use auto-brightness most of the time, and I have a dark wallpaper.
dim screen. stay on wifi. that is all.
Honestly, getting use to a dimmed screen made a HUGE difference!!

Just installed a battery saving app from snapdragon..

I just downloaded it to see how it does compare to Juice Defender and DS Battery Saver Pro. I never really like Juice Defender and have been using Battery Saver for a month and it seems to help my battery life.
Once I have been using for a few days I will report back what I think about it. Thanks for the post tho otherwise I wouldn't have found this app.
Just installed this.... will report back when it's done learning and switches to saving mode.
Thanks for the heads up, i'll give this a try.
nice grabbed this up will be checking it out.
Just posted this in the Verizon Galaxy S III forum as well.
Still seems silly to me that we are going to have to have 4 separate discussions for an app that will work the same on each carrier.
I'm not really sure on what the value of these apps are.
Letting my phone do whatever it wants when I'm on wifi and my phone is sitting idle, my phone uses around 1%/hour of battery life.
Some portion of that is all this app could really save then, right?
Why bother if, in exchange, I'm possibly having delayed notifications, apps not updating in the background, etc.?
I've been running this app .today is 3 day (around) have not rebooted or anything using phone as always honestly don't see a difference yet..

After using this for the past few days I would say overall it is not that bad of an app. I am really starting to like it. My average battery usage went from 5-6%/hr to 3-4%/hr. I know there are a lot of variables that go into this but I would say it works as well DS Battery Saver. I have also used JD but never really liked that app. I will continue to use this app to see what the long term would be on here but its a good find in my opinion.
If nothing else try it out for a week or so and compare stats. I use Better Battery Stats to get my info from.
Has anyone compared this to the relatively new "Greenify" battery saving app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Anything that suggests it saves battery makes me nervous. Because the only way to do that is to shut down apps. And when you shut down the app, it may not get updated, or it may open very slowly when you do need it, etc.
I did not like it much... i am guessing that all this app does is change sync frequencies of different apps. To do it it tries to determine your location so that it can turn sync off/on or change sync interval based on your prior usage patterns.
Once it was out of learning mode, i noticed that my s3 battery drain was quicker due to excessive usage of maps by this app.
I uninstalled the app... and have got my battery life back.
