Hi All,
When i look into (almost) all roms i see the problem with the battery drain problem.
To bad i do not have the knowledge to find out what to do.
But i think that some smart developers work together to find a solution about this battery drain problem.
So that's why i start this thread so we can discuss this

I am using LeeDroid 1.4c and I too experience battery drain issues...

Thanks, but i don't like the interface.. want have the sense feeling
Drain
Tested a lot of roms with froyo and sense. The roms based on 2.06 base are draining relative more then the roms based on 2.04.
Above is not scientificly tested.
Charge to 100% , go to recovery , advanced , wipe battery stats. Enjoy greater baterry life

I had NONE battery drain problems on any of ROMS 2.1 or 2.2, and i did try alot of them.
Maybe theres something wrong with your phone itself (battery).
But definetly try wipe battery stats in recovery.
Since 08:00 morning had WiFi on.. network Data of... and now 12:02 battery is now 90%. DId have play with config the Tasker Tool (Great app).
Tomorrow i will do the test again but then with Network Data on and WiFi off.

Yup, that ROM has the best battery life by far...

people are having mixed results on the battery perfermance of adam's sensefroyo rom. i experienced a poorer battery life compared to eclair (i used Amer_v4 and the battery was excellent) but can still manage to last a full day usually. haven't tried out the froyo roms though.

btw aren't you're using opendesire?
I've changed about 8 roms, mostly used 4, but can't say there was a huge difference between them. 2 days of normal use, 1 day of heavy use.
Possibly shadowfrost and DeFrost 2.4 had the best battery life and I had the fastest kernel installed...
I would think that - some isolated problem aside - mostly it has to do with some applications/settings

sometimes my E-Mail application is consuming most of the cpu. It keeps the cpu at max frequency. Even if i try to end the taks with the app "system panel" it wont solve the problem. I have to go into the app and make a manual sync.
i also found out that automatic brightness is using loads of battery. since i set it to static I'm experiencing almost 2 days of battery life with moderate use.
I'm on Defrost 2.1
Hello again everybody,
Yesterday whole day online by WiFi. Using phone couple of hours and my Maildroid Email was active without prevent sleep mode.
Battery was empty after almost 17hours. (+/- 5% every hour)
Today. Wifi on. Maildroid now with prevent sleep mode ON.
Have unplugged the phone 4 hours ago and battery is at 75%
Tomorrow i will test this with Network Data on.. and without prevent sleep mode of Maildroid. And day after with prevent sleep mode.
I know for sure.. the battery will drain very vast for both situations...
BUT Ill let you know
EDIT 26-07-2010: Battery was empty tonight on 1:30.
NOW I do the whole test again but now with network data on and WiFi off
Ive had the opportunity to own a Nexus One at launch and a HTC Desire...I always found Android OS to be the issue whenever i had excessive battery drain.
Ive found my issue to center around the OS 'calling home to sync' (whether 'sync' option is selected or not)Initially, the problem was resolved by deleting all my sync funtions...but that was obviously not practical........ so now I keep my GSM data connection running and I get about 2.5 days on Open Desire (non HTC Sense).
AdamG seems like the guy who knows what hes talking about - His changelogs for OpenDesire actually hint at him having done some battery drain tweaking...whatever he did, he has definitely fixed it
Cheers

I've tried so many ROMS in the past few weeks to try to solve battery drain issues. On some, I could almost see the percentage dropping as I looked at the home screen! I even bought a new battery thinking I might have killed the original.
OpenDesire does seem to be the way forward re this problem if you're intent on the HAVS kernel. OD2.3a gave me almost two days of varied use.
However, and I know this is going backwards, an earlier DeFrost - the 2.1, is brilliant for me. I'm now at two days since unplug and still at an unbelievable 45% - yes, I know, I thought it was broke as well! For now, I'm sticking with this one. Everything I want works and I don't have to carry a spare battery in my pocket when I go out.
Hope this is of some help. Don't despair. You will find the one for you.
Cheers
I don't get why everyone says they have such a issue with battery.
I get about 2.5-4 days of use with DeFrost 2.2 and have done about so since DeFrost 0.9. I've had it up around five days once.
How are you actually using your phones?
It's not a "Froyo" issue.

It's very interesting to me how are YOU using your phone?
Come on, 4 days ? When i talk about 30m to 1h each day and using a phone little bit, i have at least 30-40% down.
u mean u only drain about 25% each day? are u actually using your phone ? wifi, calls, 3g ? or u have a expensive pocket toy just to show to your friends ?
Hi
Any news on how long battery last on the new official release?
Im currently on Pays ROM, and battery last between 24-48 h, with 3g and wifi turned on and daily use of phone, sms and browsing.
Just tried some ROMs that didnt even last a whole day
In 3 hours I have nearly used 50% of battery and that is with 3 short phone calls.
System, cell standby, wifi and phone idle account for 80% usage. Was using a different froyo rom before putting oem one on and did not have this type of drain.
Also not using an app killer as people have been saying that the system can handle the apps, that has not been the case and will install again.
My battery drain has been up massively since I went to 2.2 with the OpenDesire ROM. Phone standby takes most of it. What's causing such excessive usage? Even on the official ROM now :-/
What ROM's are you guys getting best battery with?
You should post on which ROMs you have the battery drain...
I have had massive battery drain on all ROMs until I started using the rooted 2.2 OTA. I would have to charge my phone twice every day but now it's great, I have 65 percent left after a full day of heavy use.
Edit: tried almost every FroYo ROM before this.

Which ROM are you using? I can't decide which one to download
Battery life is also my only problem with this otherwise amazing phone
Maybe it's the rom/radio combination!?
I had PaysDesire v2.3 before installing the OTA 2.2. The battery with PaysDesire with average use went from 100% to like 60% in 12 hours. With the latest one, i lost 8% in 2 hours but with over average usage. Testing the camera, installing apps, setting up things...
That is why I am still not convinced that the battery sucks on 2.2 and I will wait few days (until the shine wears off, as Coldplay would say) before bringing my final decision.

yep ,I now about
you use OTA officiall not ruted
Doesn't you guys' phones' display use most of the battery? For me it's at least 70% of the battery usage.
With SetCpu I use about 1% battery on standby, but as soon as I use it, it drains battery like crazy, even though the brightness is set to 25%...
I am using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
I took it off charge at 7 a.m. an have used it quite heavily today and the battery is still at 50% so I am pleased.
8 Hours and im on 68 %
2 Hours 3D Gaming and browsing 1 Hour.SmS/Few Calls between.
Official 2.2 Froyo ROM.
Wait for Kernel Sources and i think Battery Drain will fall and fall =)

I'll second that. Definitely getting better battery performance on ieftm's ROM than any of the 2.2 ROM's I've used before including Neophytes's, DeVillain, and various others. I've also got much more memory too.

that aside, no rom or os version has changed a fig for me about battery. It's still good in reasonable terms.

+1.i am getting really good battery performance on this ROM.
but from my experience even from WinMO you will never find a single ROM on which people would agre on 100% that is good or bad.everyone is getting different results.everyone has different apps instaled,using different combination of services (push mail,wi fi,3G...).
Someone will always claim good battery life and others will say it is crap.this is really about testing what works for you the best.
Sorry for my english guys...
When i have a good connection then my battery is ok. After 16 hours i have still 12%. If my connection is bad (i'm in a building) so it search for connection and lost it again i see the battery drain and my battery is empty after few hours...

Guys,
I've been jumping between ROMs since rooting my phone last week and one thing I've noticed is that my battery life takes a big hit when I'm using the G2 ROM.
You'd think that since it's a lot closer to stock Froyo than the Bell Desire Z ROM it would have better battery life, but that not what I'm seeing.
With both ROMs it seems that they will stay at 100% for a two or three hours and then start coming down - however it's much more dramatic with the G2 ROM and it seems as though it's battery drain gets accelerated.
Has anyone else noticed this?

For my part, while using CM 6.1RC1 the battery drain was amazingly bad.
Under Modaco G2 ROM, it's more reasonable. For casual use for 7h since being unplugged, I'm at 76%.

My phone's been unplugged for almost 7hrs and I'm at 85% battery on my original Bell ROM.
If you have Spare Parts installed, check Battery History. From there click on the "Running" bar. This will tell you how much time the phone has spent "awake" (this excludes the time the display has been on or while on a call).
I'm at 2hrs 18mins (+20mins with the display on).
Give my stock g2 rom a chance and tell me how that compares. I get better bat life out of stock kernel myself. Bet we could use some uv.
I've noticed something new.
I had my SIM card out of my phone today and it's been unplugged for 5hrs with not cellular network (but everything else going via WiFi) and it's still at 99% battery life.
Uptime is 5hrs 53mins with Awake Time at 1hr 36mins.
Is the cellular connection using more battery than it should be?
it looks like a combination of issues.
1. the android system uses a lot of battery
2.cell standby uses a lot of battery but less than android system
i have a unlocked bell desire z.
installed CyanogenMod RC2 but had to roll back to a sense based rom because the battery drain was just too much.
I figured it out, Kik Messenger was the main culprit.
It's been great since I uninstalled that.
To figure it out o had to restore to a clean rom and install one app at a time. At that point id leave my phone alone for a couple hours and check "wake" time under battery history in Spare Parts. If it was more than 10% we had our app.

Hello.
Does anyone have a problem with battery life?
I got my new htc one x last week and rooted it 2 days ago.
The rom that i installed is InsertCoin v6.4.5 and also installed franco kernel r9.
I really like the combination of these two except battery life. I have been using a lot of android phones and never have a experience like this before.
Battery just drains quickly. It droped from 100% to 60% in 2 hours. Im not a heavy user and didnt install many apps or any games. I can see that it doesnt drain much when its off but when im using it, i feel like battery decreses 1% every 2 minutes.
I installed rom - more than 3 times - when the battery was charged 100% and im not using any task killer or battery saver etc. Moreover, battery life was fine before i rooted HOX.
Is it only me having this problem?

There can be many reasons for your battery drain ranging from weak phone signal to power consuming apps running. I would suggest to use something like BetterBatteryStats apps to see what's draining your battery.
With energy rom and franco r9, I am getting 12-24 hours depending on usage.

Couldnt figure out with betterbatterystats apps. There is nothing suspicious thing. Well.. i have probably a bad luck with InsertCoin rom. I will try Android Revolution HD + stock kernel.

mate if u read thoroughly through francos thread, u will realize that the kernel needs time to settle. atleast 2 days with 2 full charges. yes, u will have abnormal battery drain at first, especially that u flashed both rom and kernel. just give give 2 days or 3 and u will notice the difference. hope this helps.

I saw people mention that but i thought my case was completely different. Cuz its been 2 days since i installed insertcoin+franco.kernel.
Thank you. I will give another try then.
Full charge? i tried googling how to full charge mobile phone but couldnt find it. Is there any special way to full charge?
One thing that one should always do after installing a custom ROM is to wipe the battery statistics.
Simply go to the recovery, then to the advanced menu and wipe 'Battery Stats' from there.
This solves a lot of battery related problems for a lot of people.

Battery says are wiped when you get close to 100% charge, and hold the stats you see in the power options. Has no effect on battery life.
I noticed on the pkmn rom I had bad battery drain for no reason but on leedroid I had none.
I had nothing installed and no wake locks but I could watch the % drop like a stone.
Try going back to stock kernel first see if that works. If not try a different rom.

Me to experience battery drain at first time when flashing charmeleon. As i love the tweaks over there i can't switch the rom. So i just reflashed it.
Let me say how i did again and there is no battery drain after that.
1)Erasche cache manually(fastboot erase cache)
2)Use charmeleon boot.img flasher v5.0.0
3)Then again erase cache manually (fastboot erase cache)
4)Then goto recovery and factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache,wipe battery stats.
5)Then installed rom with full wipe and there is no battery drain after that.
Guys try this method. You will get no battery drain.

Thx man! Worked for me
Hi guys, I'm on Three in the UK and have their branded version of the One X (CID: H3G__001 if I recall correctly).
I was wondering what experience you guys have had with the battery life on custom ROMs vs the stock ROM?
I flashed a custom Sense ROM onto the device pretty much as soon as I got it and was only ever able to get about 2hrs screen on time (even with super low brightness, no syncing etc). I then moved onto AOSP when it came out and used various ROMs - CM9/CM10/SlimJB etc. On these I was struggling to even get 2 hours screen on time, even with custom kernels that managed a deep sleep of >80%.
I thought this was just the device and lived with it for a few months.
I have no idea why, but I decided to return to the Stock Three ROM using an RUU. The battery life is MUCH better than anything I have ever experienced on a custom ROM and the deep sleep percentage is even higher than Ncx/faux kernels.
Screen on: 3hrs approx (Default stock autobrightness)
Time unplugged: 17 hours approx
Deep sleep: 80-90%
What I'm wondering is if any users here have had a similar experience using the One X on Three UK?
I suspect it could be something to do with the network drivers used on custom ROMs, since Mobile Standby always seemed to use more battery than it does now. Yes, I had made sure I had the correct RIL, but I'm talking here about the baseband itself.
Cheers,
James
Hey man I have a 3 branded handset. Was running stock for all of 12 hrs tops. But I have previously ran stock with my old hox's and battery for me was shocking.
I'm now running renovate with ncx kernel -125mh which is running like a dream get 4 hrs screen time and I have had a record of 15hrs standby. I do use my phone a lot tho during the day, some helpful advice is if you use wifi switch your data off and also don't have auto brightness on.
There are some useful tips all over the hox forums for battery life but this is just my point for you

Hey man, thanks for the reply - this is why I was confused! CPU clock seems to be higher on stock and obviously one would expect the battery life to be worse. But it's definitely FAR better than anything I've managed to achieve on any custom ROM (Sense or AOSP).
I know all the tricks such as turning off syncing, checking BBS, dimming auto brightness etc. and nothing seemed to help while running a custom ROM, the standby/usage drains were just terrible.
The only thing I could think has effected it this time is that I've fully restored using an RUU, which has in turn wiped the internal storage. Perhaps there was a dodgy file that was causing poor battery life...?
Other than that, the only thing I can imagine it being is the network driver.
I don't entirely know about an sd file but it could have been and app running in the background. Tbh I never stayed on stock long enough on any of my hox's but Iust admit I do get very good life from renovate ics. As we can't boot a sense jb yet I can't comment on JB sense roms.
I must admit aswell I haven't tried aosp as I'm holding out hope on 3 with the update.
Try renovate rom out I was hesitant with it am very happy, before that I ran pkmn rom with is now discontinued but there is viper rom by the same Dev and that also gave me exerlent battery
