Since two days I'm having a huge power drain on the faria WM6 WWE os. Anybody else having the same problem. I already edited my reg (HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement change this value to 0.) but it won't help.
power drain is losing approximate 5% of battery within one hour...
Never I had this problem with all the others WM6 os versions (until now). And this is bad because I love the faria os versions. Theire good, fast and stable.
i have noticed the same thing, i thought it was something extra i installed but most of the wm6 roms i have tried are battery hungry, i wonder why? if my phone is 100% and i dont make any calls 2 hrs later i go to use it and its at 75%
mun_us rom is wm6 and the battery has never lasted so long since i had it
when i first flashed the rom it installed this cab file straight away with others i have attached it maybe thats whats helping out my battry life
Save That Power
Open up Batery Status by Clicking and Holding the icon for it on the home screen. Tweak the OMAP settings. Set the over clock to or around 260. Then turn the scaler on. set this to the original cpu Speed. That should help. Worked for me.

I had noticed the same with this ROM and tried to enable the scaler. It had no impact. I moved back to mun_rus which as easymob says is much kinder on the battery.
It would be useful if some could confirm his thoughts on this.
I notice that my battery will drain faster when I am using my EDGE connection for internet or streaming purposes, but for anything else the battery seems to last much longer (sitting idle or simple phone calls)...

It activates power management for you sd card.
The default setting is off wich means you sd card is running at full power thus draining your battery faster.
With the setting on, power is only consumed when you're actually using the sd card therefore saving your battery.
I used the CPUScaler from BatteryStatusTool which is in rom. Setting it to 121mhz, so battery last for a long time. in standby the cpu dont needs so much frequency, even with programs like im+ in the background.

My only suggestion is to turn off IR. That should save you some juice.
It works for me!

I just noticed the drainage also. I'll try your suggestion....Thanks
Infrared modules are very efficient in recent devices so should cause very little battery drain at all. I remember a report someone did using their Axim on Aximsite.com and they reported that with IR off the overall extra operating time bonus was less than a minute.
No Probs with MB WM6
I had battery issues with other WM6 roms, but don't have that issue with MB WM6 rom. Not sure what is different.
Try putting your pda near a bunch of IR devices, and watch your pda get battery drained!

Today al of a sudden my battery started draining rapidly. I have the Faria now for a week & was very happy with it. But now my power drops extreme fast. I have nothing new installed. I enabled the powersaving for SD, but that doesn't help. Wondering what's causing this all of a sudden drain.

Well that's pretty obvious, I meant when the unit is in standby because generally the Wizard isn't going to be near/communicating with IR devices. In standby it is very efficient like most things compared to being powered up. Also I just got Noviiremote coincidentally and I found that the IR module was pretty weak, especially compared to my old Axim, I have to be very close to use it. If its weak then its probably not using much power so I would say IR, unless being surrounded by IR devices a lot is of insignificant drain to the battery.
I also had the powerdrain issue with the Faria rom; but when I deleted the SC.lnk and javapushservice.lnk with the StartUp Manager it seems I lost the powerdrain issue.
I disconnected my phone at 7am this morning and now it's almost 11am and I lost 3% with use of Pushmail, Internet GPRS and 2 phonecalls.

What does these two do? especially SC.lnk? - Sorry. I got the ans. Thanks anyways. I will test and let the forum know.
SC.lnk is the shortcut to rotate the screen; that one should probably have no effect.
The javapushservice.lnk starts the elatepushservice; I assume that one consumes the power
first thread.
im using energy rom, the battery dies in a day.
anything i can do to make it last longer?
thanks in advance.
dim your brightness
there are lots of things you can do, dim the brightness is one (turn off automatic adjustment of the brightness too, so it stays dim)
make sure any pop3 email isnt checking too often
turn off push mail
there are some hardware disable cabs i used on mine, i dont remember the link but they are from ninjaduck on ppcgeeks
use NRG's service disable cabs to turn off background services you dont need
although even after all this mine still only lasts about a day, but its ok for me since it docks on a charger every night
one more thing to keep in mind, CDMA phones will always have shorter battery life than their GSM counterparts, since CDMA phones have to keep in constant contact with the tower (so the radio is always in use)
I've used to rum sprint stock rom and my battery lasted me only a day if even that. But now, I'm running my own clean and simple 6.5 no manilla rom and my battery last last like 3 days.
Definitly backlight adjustments will help. Also there is a setting under the WIFI, for Performance which made some diference on mine. The big thing is to make sure: Bluetooth is off when not in use, because it'll search non stop, same thing with WIFI, keep it off, when not in use. And the big thing I did, I switched my email, to check every 2hrs, rather than on demand. I went from 4-6hrs to an easy 10hrs. Hope something helps!
Also, when I'm using apps like Trapster, or a radio streamer, you obviosly need to keep the "system" on, which includes your screen, And when I started using a Screen Off App, I noticed a pretty big diference.
what is simple 6.5

I got this phone from someone, and it has manilla of some sort, what kind of rom do you have? where did you get it from?
Thanks
I built it myself using Calkulins kitchen. Is your TP2 HSPL unlocked? If so, I may be able to upload it for you so you can download it, PM me
Since OC'ing my device, I have been getting 2-3 days per charge using the stock Verizon MR2 release. Others who have OC'd have noticed the same thing. Check the OC threads both here (where it all starts) and on PPCGeeks (where we talk about what we find on XDA).
Stock Sprint ROM. Seidio 3500MAH Battery. 3G always on. Surf over 3 hours a day, make quite a few calls, signal in both my work location and home are not that great, so phone looks for a signal a lot, and Stream video from time to time. Doing this, the battery still lasts about 8 to 10 hours. My wifes phone has a stock battery and lasts about 9 hours without doing all of what I do on mine. Her battery sometimes is down to 10% or less. Mine never gets under 25%. If I am streaming from my SlingBox, I can get about 3.75Hours out of my battery.
Improved Battery Life!

Similar experience for me. After OC'ing my stock 6.5 MR2 VzW TP2 with OCT v1.5, turning off push email and push internet, etc., I can get 2 days most of the time.

Hello,
I'm currently experiencing an unexplained battery drainage issue and need some ideas from you all! I used to get a battery drain from the phone while it was asleep and connected to my wifi of -10 to -14Ma, where as I now get -76Ma! I'm using "Current Widget" from the market to monitor battery usage which is logged to a file. I have no idea where the additional % is coming from and after exhaustive testing over the last day I'm beginning to go out of my mind here... The phone is consuming too much battery while idle and therefore running flat far too quickly.
I can't quite determine when this started to happen. I'm running LBC v0.5.4 and have been for ages, I upgraded to the latest radio 06.02.03_M although I've tried reverting radios to most of the older ones and can't seem to loose the problem. I've completely reset the device, using the WIPE script (format commands) and installed fresh LBC v0.5.3 and v0.5.4, after the initial install I get the minimal drain (-10Ma) to start with but after the first device reboot its back up -76Ma, this happens both with & without a google accounts configured.
I have no additional applications installed from the market and am installing only current widget from its apk. AUTO-SYNC is off. I've even tried multiple full resets, re-flashes of the ROM, differing kernels, multiple Radios and setup using a different google account (my wifes) and the same thing STILL happens.
It can't be the router related as my wife phone a brand new DESIRE S (still running STOCK) is getting -16Ma from the same router, which I have rebooted. It can't be current widget as I'm running the same apk that my wife is and she isn't getting the problem, plus I've run it for months now and not seen this drain!
I'm considering going back to STOCK! which can't be good. Please help....any ideas and/or suggestions welcome.....(except use my wifes phone!) I must be missing something?
If you can't think of anything that I'm missing, could you at least state the ROM & RADIO version that you're using and the battery consumption that you get in a similar state.

I only have a currentwidget.log file on the SD card that's produced by the Current Widget application and I've tried removing that a couple of times with no effect.
What produces battery_history.txt? isn't that another battery consumption application?
It's the Battery Monitor Widget. Try that and report the results.

Opps I thought you were refering to battery monitor widget
Try battery monitor widget like shrome suggested
Other than the reading how is the battery life doing,it is possible that the reported reading is incorrect ,if the reading is right your device should be out of battery very fast

No problem...
The battery life unfortunately does seem to be reduced. I have always had that widget on my main home screen so notice its reading whenever I'm operating the device for months now and its normally accurate which is why I spotted the change.
Although I'll be honest since I spotted the change in the reading I've been constantly flashing, wiping, restoring etc which are all heavy operations on the battery life so its really difficult to tell.
Next time the battery hits 100% charged I'll also re-calibrate.
EDIT: Have wiped battery stats from recovery
EDIT2: Have switched and am now testing with battery monitor widget, will report back

Have again fully wiped, reset and re-flashed LBC v0.5.3. I configured no accounts and turned off auto sync. Flashed v0.5.4 update and am running with the latest RADIO (20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03)
No applications installed except Battery Monitor Widget. No screens contain any widgets apart from the clock.
My device is clocking battery consumption figures of -36mA to 100mA...
Yet my wife's new (STOCK 1.30)) with 03.02.11 radio is clocking just -7mA!

My device isn't particularly warm.
Although good call on swapping Battery and SIM I'm doing that now, just one at a time in the hope that it is one of these then I'm able to identify which one
EDIT: rather than change too many things at once I'll also try a different SD card in mine after these initial tests.

OK, this is downright weird. The issue is probably in the kernel, not Radio. Try switching kernels, go to Unity V2.

LBC mod 5.4 comes with unity v2 kernel as default
& also it can't be a software problem as he has been using the device with the same setup before without a problem

Correct, I tried switching kernels back to stock earlier and saw no difference.
Swapped SIMs and saw no noticeable difference the new device was still clocking incredibly low numbers.....<10mA whereas mine (with her SIM) still clocked ~50mA
Swapping batteries now.
what's the reading on your wift's battery?
If all else fails, try switching ROMs altogether. Go to virtuous unity. Aosp roms have battery drain, so you won't have any luck on those. Maybe an upcoming update of lbc mod fixes this issue.
mind trying and tell us your reading?my friend who's on hd2 android has reading around 1-4 mA..

1-4 mAH ?!?!?!?! This is freakin impossible on desire s. 7-10 is normal. I think he posted in the first post.
Edit: ok, this is a shot in the dark. My friend on Virtuous ha similar readings, so i was following this closely. Turns out, he was checking the widget rather than the file in te sdcard (battery_history.txt) the file shows the stats for when the phone is asleep. Check carefully. The widget will usually show 70-100 mAh, as while checking the widget, the phone is awake.

Was still testing, as I need to collect a few continuous minutes of screen off testing to make it fair.
Although as you mention in the LBC thread. which hopefully shows that this can't be a hardware issue with my device, unless it's from the w-ifi attena itself?
If I swicth off the wi-fi completely on both devices, which I've just done then the drain disappears from my device and it starts clocking ~13mA, although hers is still consistently putting in 7mA.
Now time to try a new SD card in mine, must try that before reverting to stock ROM.

Easy....he said his friend with a HD2, its a known fact that there is a battery drain issue on the DS as if you were to compare its drain to that on the old Desire its over twice the idle.
There are plenty of threads early on covering this issue....although none of them ever identified any reason. Its interesting to see what the CM7 ROM can achieve in this respect.
Newer processor = more battery consumption

Hi,
I was running MIUIXperience V5 and everything was fine till got a random reboot last evening and after that, battery started draining very fast doing nothing 20-25% in an hour. Mobile is heating up a lot now back side near camera and charging also became very slow (30-40% in 4 hours). Tried full wipe and reinstalling the ROM but still the same issue, wiped battery stats as well.
I was getting 25-35 hrs before this so doesn't look like a fault in battery. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Seems a hardware issue to me. Maybe try to swamp battery's and see if the current one you're using is busted.

Thanks for your help but I still doubt the battery as when charging in powered off, it charge well & quickly as before
Can you try another ROM? If it would work ok with another ROM that would put the hardware suspicion aside. If it still keeps the same with a different ROM, then it's most definitively a hardware issue.

I have tried another ROM and same ROM with clean install, they seem good as before the issue but as soon as I enable root permissions, battery started to drain fast again (35% in an hour)
got a similar issue with mine, usually my battery stills 20hrs, and that's ok for my usage, I'm running brainmaster cm9, but same with CDA 2.0.0, randomly the phone, in some case after a reboot or disconnecting power cable, start to drain battery and become hot, in battery usage stats AndroidOS is the main issue and android.process.acore the resource that never sleep,
I think this can came from a bad deep idle management on some rom-kernels combo or ics 4.0.4 issue, but I nobody to say this...

I tried different MIUI Roms but issue remained same. Then I installed Androxide after full wipe and now seems to be working fine (72% after 7hrs). Still can't figure out what is the issue that different variants of MIUI Roms after clean install and battery starts to discharge heavily.
Tried going back to MIUI but probelm came again and after restoring to Androxide, again working fine

I suggest to install an app like Quick System Info anche see id there is a process running high on CPU usage: there you can see its log and try to understand what's happening...
BTW, I started to have some massive drain with the last CM9 nightlies: it was the Phone app that sucked all the juice in a few hours.
I wiped & reflashed dozen of times, checking if the drain was caused by some app, until I used Quick System Info and saw from the logs that the problem was the new 2g/3g toggle widget: I had set it to "3g preferred" but this caused a loop. Setting it to "2g only"/"3g only" fixed the issue.
First, MIUI is a Chinese ROM.
Second, Chinese things are always known for bad quality.
So MIUI is bad
Really, dude? Maybe you should take the tin foil hat off.
Hey Guys,
Let me start by saying that I've spent the better part of 3 days searching XDA, google, reading various other forums for answers to my problem before I decided to post this. Even if the answer was close, or for a different phone I tried all the recommendations to no avail.
I recently just got into the whole rooting and flashing thing. I first tried cyanogenmod9 nightly, and then Embryo 3.2 which I immediately fell in love with. When I flashed, I followed the instructions step by step - wiped all the data, cache, dalvik, formatted then did it all again. Everything is working without a problem. My issue is that cell standby and phone idle is absolutely crushing my battery. I went from getting 17+ hours of normal use with room to spare before charging for the night to barely getting through a day of work.
I installed better batter stats, badass battery monitor, and as a last ditch effort juice defender - hoping that if I let it control the radios and have them off it would curb the problem. Juice defender checks my emails n' all once an hour and it's no help at all. I've burned up almost 20% in 4 hours and i haven't even touched my phone except to see if JD was actually working. Badass battery monitor shows the radio as the biggest drain, and better battery stats... well, frankly, the info it reports is WAY over my head..
My phone is a fresh install of Embryo 3.2, UCLE2 radio, and cymbaline 1.5 kernal. I'm running go launcher, beautiful widgets for time/weather, and go contacts widget. That's it. I read about the phone idle, charged it to 100%, cleared the battery stats in CWM trying to calibrate it and it seems to have done nothing.
Also, I understand the radio works different for everyone. I think my issue is that if UCLE2 is from 2.3.6 OTA, which is what I was using post root/rom, and what i'm currently using now.. why is it a problem now vrs before?
Should I just download all the available radios for the skyrocket, and try a new one every few days to see which works better?
I'm really just seeking a comprehensive answer to my problem which I can't seem to find anywhere. I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't believe I exhausted all my available options. sorry for the wall of text and thanks for taking the time to help!
It's very obvious that many, many people have this problem, but everyone tries to tell you to battery saving tips that just help to cope with the problem but don't fix it at all.
UCLE2 is not from 2.3.6, it's from the second most recent 4.0.4 leak, by the way. I don't really think this is a radio issue, though I did notice I have a problem in UCLF3 and UCLD2 Odin, but not in UCLE2 or Gingerbread. I'm convinced it's something to do with how these ROMs are flashed. I'm going to try CWM to UCLF3 from UCLE2 and see how that goes.
Yea, please let me know what you find. I'll try a new radio when I get home. I'm not going to bother trying to flash a new rom, or this one over again as i've already done it multiple times - the issue has not changes...
cell standby, phone idle..
Get rid of jd first. It makes ics worse. In fact better battery stats is the only "battery assistance" you should keep. Then reflash everything. If you restore with titanium backup, don't restore system data. You'll have to re enter your email accounts and stuff but your contacts should sync once you do. And every time you flash a new ROM it needs a few days to settle. It will burn extra battery in those few days. And I don't know how go contacts widget works, but it may have some interaction with the phone apk that mohan hasn't engineered for, keeping it awake. I'd go without it for awhile too and see if that helps.
Also get CPU spy. To see if your phone's getting any sleep. You could be having some kind of wake lock. Reboot when you pull it off the charger.

I think it is in part a wake lock problem, however rebooting after taking it off the charger doesn't help.

New radio won't change that. Unless you're not using the one mohan provides in the embryo thread. Something is bugging out the phone apk. You may want to try embryo 3.2 without the cymbaline kernel also, and see if that's any better.
Also I should say again, whatever is causing your drain problem, jd is making it worse.
Anything that might be keeping the phone awake. Maybe a Bluetooth or like I mentioned, possibly the go contacts widget.

Alright, thanks.
I've done as you suggested and will report back.
I've installed BBS and CPUSpy. (I don't know how to read bbs, so perhaps point out some things i should keep an eye on would help.. )
I've removed juice defender, go contact widget, and badass battery monitor. I'm pretty much stock except for go launcher ex and beautiful widgets for time/weather.
I'll also remove and reset the battery cache in CWM
When i get home tonight i'll re-wipe/format etc etc and start from scratch again... *pout* lol

Yep, thanks for the info. I won't change the radio, and i'll keep using whats in mohans embryo thread. I'll re-flash and leave off the kernal (which, i like because when i talk on phone it doesn't get hot like it used too).
I removed JD, contacts widget, and everything else except data is off.
What specifically should I be looking for under CPUSpy and BBS

No, don't do any of that and don't reset the battery cache in cwm. This might be your problem actually. When you reset battery in cwm you essentially make a new 100% mark. Like, if you do that when you're at fifty percent battery, you just cut your Max battery life in half. So do THIS when you get home. Turn the brightness all he way up. Download angry birds or something and play it until your phone is dead dead DEAD. Then plug your phone to the OEM charger. The one that has a USB plug on the wall end. Let it charge all the way when it's turned off. Then when you turn it back on, hold power and volumes and go straight to recovery. That's the correct time to reset your battery cache in cwm.

(which, i like because when i talk on phone it doesn't get hot like it used too).
I removed JD, contacts widget, and everything else except data is off.
What specifically should I be looking for under CPUSpy and BBS

Keep everything the way you have it now and do he charger thing. If you're at&t. If you're rogers change to ruxlf3 radio. Actually trying a different radio may not be a bad idea but give each one a day to see how it does. See if that "no or unknown signal" in bbs changes. You aren't having wake locks. Deep sleep is what you're looking for in cpuspy. I think jd turning on and off the data and searching for a new signal caused a lot of the burn so far. Are you in an LTE area? The other thing to do is make sure your apn (settings > more > mobile networks > access point names) matches what is listed in the embryo thread. Keep your kernel and don't reflash anything except a radio. Try ruxlf3 or u...f5 tomorrow.

I'm in AT&T and I work smack dab in the middle of an LTE area with good signal.
I live 60 mi from work, in a non LTE area but still have good signal.
My apn settings were actually set by the phone when i received a call straight after flashing. Att PTA - internet + mms, i'll check mohans thread and see what's up there.
THanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.
Ok, I've had some luck getting normal-ish battery life (~15 hours). Still seems a little below what it should be and performance is also slightly sluggish compared to stock, but it's clearly miles better than the dead in 7 hours life I was getting.
Now, I don't know if I just got lucky finally or if any of this actually helped, but here's what I did:
* Flashed UCLE2 with Odin.
* Ran battery all the way down
* Charged battery all the way up with phone off. Unplugged it, left it off, and recharged it a few times.
* Wiped battery stats
* Odin flash CWM (NON-TOUCH version this time)
* Darxide Superwipe (x2)
* Flash CM9, Gapps
* Boot
* Darxide Superwipe again
* Flash CM9, gapps again
* Boot, drain battery all the way down
* Charge battery all the way up while phone is off.
Again, not saying this is a fix just saying what I did in as much detail as possible in case it helps anyone.
just go download embryo 4.0 fast and stable.
