Defy- Poor battery backup on Froyo Roms - Defy Android Development

Hi,
For last two weeks I have flashed my defy with all available froyo mods....be it pays...or aldxmod or even chinese versions......they work like charm..(especialy the first two)...but one common problem with froyo roms is the fast draining battery.....i used to have a lot better backup on my stock 2.5.1 SEA rom.......
i am not able to figure it out....whether its due to the 3g fix i have used to improve the network reception or its meant to be like that.......but all of the time i used to think that froyo is less on resourcess and thus should give better backup than eclair.....
thanks in advance for any help.....i might rollback to my stock rom as its not always possible to keep the phone connected in office hours....

I see this as well like 12 run time with light use brings it down to 30-40%

No problem here with the UK Froyo SBF. I do not overclock/undervolt, nor have I modified this ROM in any way. Currently I am on 60% battery, after being unplugged for 45 hours.

maan thats awesome...i was reaching to 40% post 7 hours of unplugging and no substantial usage......
i guess the fixing of baseband for indian network is killling my backup.......
and best part is....i flashed from finland froyo sbf and now i cant rollback to stock eclair rom......yipppyyyyy

I'm using that T-Mo Froyo leak from jboogie and usually get more than 48 hours per charge.

I'm under adlxmod with scalable voltage/freq and I have around 24H bat.
But, I am amazed and interested to know how naenee and dlamber7 can reach that level of bat....
info on usage and app installed, widget loaded would be of help...
Thanks,

Yeah, I'm currently playing with my HD2, but I'll be using my Defy starting tonight and will update a screen shot in 2 days for you. I'll go download drocap2 after this reply.

Dlamber are you using 3g during that time? I can barely go above 24h even with juicedefender...

I'm not in a 3G area, but leave 3G on so it's constantly searching for a 3G signal that can't be found =\

guys.....i keep my internet connection switched on 24x7.....its a 2G service as we are in process of getting 3G services in India.......can this be reason for my poor backup???
please advice...
i m now on deblur finland moto froyo......still the same issue....battery drains very fast almost 10% per hour....

Nice I was hoping a topic like this one will pop up
with my 2.51 I ussually got around 2days 10hours out of it
(thats with undervolt/overclock (300/16 & 1000/56)
yesterday I flashed jboogie's froyo and i didnt overclock yet
Ill post results later
but naenee's result is reaaly amazing
60% battery after 3days(and no oc/uc) Id like to see a screenshot of that aswell

I dont think thats the reason, i think 2g uses less battery then 3g ...not sure though

then my gut feeeling says..the 3g fix for 850/1900 frequecy which i patched is making my phone exert high.......coz all the feedbacks with high back up are in countries where they dont need this fix......
just an assumption to condole myself.....i as i now trapped by upgrading my defy to froyo by flashing froyo sbf....cant downgrade....
i m so happy.....i screwed my darling defy....

then uninstall the fix (reflash) if u think thats the problem?
ot try restoring 2.51 nandroid image if battery was so much better there?

man...didnt you read when i said...i m not able to downgrade....
other wise could have done this long ago....
m still trying hard to find the way to roll back....
still thanks for the advice.....
i figured out one more possible issue.....i have used 3g fix for china...no fix available for india...may be that is leading to poor backup.....
guess have not option now but to live with this....

I also noticed this problem, but as soon as you install the "juice defender" app it increases battery life considerably. I overclock mine to 1100mhz and it lasts 3 days before battery get's low enough to need to charging.

u cant downgrade with .sbf
but u can restore the nandroid image of 2.51 if u made the backup or someone elses?
or am I wrong?

Here in Thailand we also don't have 3G yet (apart from Bangkok) but my Defy lasts at least 2 days when I don't use it. And I have wifi on 24/7 as I don't have an unlimited data plan with my provider yet. I switched the radio to 2G only which gave me a little extra battery time but not so much that I would expect the same battery drain as you do. Are you sure it's the radio that is causing this? And why don't you switch it to 2G only? As long as there is no 3G network at least you might get decent uptimes.

Hi! do you have apns configured or no mobile data? wifi, gps on/off?
UK froyo has blur?
I would like to know how do you get such amazing times.
I have adlxmod f4d with 3g fix (850/1900) and can't get it to last more than one day. I listen to music several hours a day, but it seems to be using a lot of battery to remain in standby with only a few apps with sync.

Best configuration for three days of battery!

Hello beautiful, sorry for my bad english!
We can write here, comparing ideas and impressions of all, what is the best configuration to protect the battery?
It may seem an obsession, but now it is summer and it often happens that the cells can not just load it because I have an outlet in attack.
So often I stay off her cell phone.
The Nexus S promises, but together with your expertise, I would like to figure out how to stay on the nexus s for as long as possible.
To understand Configuration: os (cyanogen, stock, AOPs, etc. ...), the kernel, governor settings, launcher, widgets, various tricks (NFC disabled) ...
There were?
Can we make the battery last for three days ?!?!?!?!?!!
-------
Let me explain, I have the latest nightly cyanogen, the 88. Off data always when I'm around and I do not use the internet. I do not need the push, so no active sync. The wifi I turn it on only at home or at work, I have WhatsApp, twitter and I uninstalled facebook to try what were saying that facebook consumes battery. I have launcher pro and Gtasks widget for notes in gmail, news and weather widget for news that is updated every 6 hours, if it's on the Internet, and then all program icons. I have installed very few, narrow required.
The kernel is the 1.3.3 universal netarchy signed cfs (the bfs? Is not that I had to use the bfs what do you think?).
This afternoon I used the GPS a few minutes to find an address, then he arrived, I turned off the GPS and data, with the widgets "Power Control" modified cyanogen.
Some short calls since this morning and some short text messages, not even 10. Some web browsing on 3G, but not much.
Well, after all this I can tell you that after only 11hours 18minutes 5seconds the battery is already 42% (97% this morning after recharge).
I'm not coming to pass even 23 hours which is what you do with a simple stock 2.3.4.
What is the sense I'm in the kernel and cyanogen netarchy? Only to change some other small lockscreen?
I need the battery! And I have already explained why.
The other ROM that you have listed does not come from cyanogen?
They are not "pure" cyanogen changed? Implemented? Correct?
Let me know ....
The AOSP where they come from? They are like cyanogen, a family on its own? O derived from cyanogen, too?
Now I remove the cyanogen and try something else.
What do you suck a lot in my phone? WhatsApp? Imagine if gripping always-sync data and as some of you! Not even 10 hours would last.
In the processes running there: Settings - 1 and 0 process services (21MB), WhatsApp - 1 process and 2 services (8.8 Mb), Market - a process and a service (11Mb) Maps - a service process and 1 (5.8 Mb) Google services - 2 processes and one service (15Mb), keyboard Android - a process and a service (8.9 Mb) - TOTAL: 153Mb used and 152 free.
It's right? Do you have it?
I just do not understand where mistake ... help me ...
That's a great idea, but in the wrong section
on a stock deodexed rom and stock kernel im on 2 days 4hrs and 42 seconds off charge. on a stock battery on my ns4g... this is amazing to me, im still sitting at 23% too. LOVE IT!
Wow!! Formidable! Stock 2.3.4 is better than cyanogen nightly 88??

Can you please link to the ROM you're using.
Wrong phone for 3 days of battery. Only way, personally, I can see you getting that, is to turn all functions off and leave it on standby without doing a thing with it for 3 days.
You should get 3 days of battery no sweat off a cheap nokia, but that's not as much fun to use is it

No the battery mod is a battery percentage. The percent i showed you is in fact accurate. It says so under battery stats under setting and my phone has not been charges for over two days now.
Perhaps the problem lies with the governor.
In my Cyanogen i have the governor smartass (100-1000). Now try with ondemand 100-1000.
Perhaps this is the problem, Watson!

Battery draining after MR2 terrible

I have been running bamf 1.8.6 and the leaked mr2 for about a week and average battery life is a day I would say. Last night I flashed the official MR2 radio hosted here. Great signal. Gps didn't lock as fast as some said but still faster than before. I went to bed with 90% battery and woke up 6 hours later with 29% wth?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
i had about a 20% drop overnight, a bit more than usual but nothing too bad. ill test today after a full charge and calibration. i will say this update locks 4g fast and my signal is stronger.
my battery is sucking after official radio too. running CM7. gonna flash back to mr2 leak until the guys release an update hopefully with the new radio.

No issues here.. I feel like I have a real cell phone now.
Ive got about 14 hours of uptime right now with 45% battery left. I have mobile data always on, screen on auto-brightness, and gmail and weather syncing. Ive actually used the phone a bit also for surfing and a lot of texting.

the offical radio is the update. Mr2 leak is no longer supported or needed. It was canned by verizon. Radio version 1.39.00.0627 is the offical OTA MR2 radio
Here's what needs to be done:
1) Charge phone to 100%
2) Delete battery stats in CWM
3) Drain battery till phone shuts off
4) Charge to 100% again
5) Drain battery till phone shuts off
After step 5 you should be fully calibrated. Now if after doing this you still feel the battery is draining faster than before, then you can safely say you're seeing the adverse affects of flashing the official MR2.
Battery life after flashing a radio always sucks. You have to give it several days to adjust.
My Thunderbolt says, under Software information>Baseband version:
1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
Is having both those numbers normal, or should it just say 1.39.00.0627r?

The first one is the 3G radio and the second one is the LTE I believe. Might be vice versa but thats the reasoning behind having 2 basebands.
I also noticed that I won't switch up to LTE even when in a LTE area. If I put it in LTE only mode it will lock on immediatly and strong.

Battery Life

Have one of these, rooted, stock rom on Rogers (LTE).
The battery life seems inconsistent... Some days it seems fine but days like today with 11 hours off the charger, with the two highest battery culprits being android OS (46%) and android system (16%) the battery life is already at 26%.
Other days when its on my desk it uses nowhere near as much...

If you are rooted and not afraid of flashing ROMs than get BeastMOD ROM. The name says it all. I m heavy user and i go for a day with full charge.

You talking about the TMo version? I did a search and I cant find a Skyrocket or Rogers version of a BeastMOD ROM.
BTW I get have been getting 34-37 hrs @ 20-15% on the BoneSTOCKeteer-v1.0 ROM with med to light use. Your mileage may vary, but stock ROM only lasted a day with the same use.
edit: the more you play with/use your phone the faster the battery is going to peter out no matter the ROM
I noticed that wifi has a big impact on battery life. I hit about 50% of battery life with it on in about 5 hours but with it off and moderate use I can get 2 days use.
Just a thought and I froze lots of the SNS syncing apps with TB. I dont use those since i use another program for FB.
I actually like the ATT Smart Wifi app. Shuts down wifi when not in use. I think the free version of Juice Defender doesn't do that.
I have now owned my 727R for 6 weeks, coming from an iphone 4. I am finding the battery life inconsistent from charge to charge and anywhere from barely adequate to downright poor. Maximum I have ever gotten was 26 hours with minimal use and minimum has been 10 hours with minimal use.
I have installed and use Juice defender, and have looked at a variety of apps such as cpu spy, cpu hound, traffic monitor. I have turned off notification as much as possible and all other tricks under the sun.
My phone does not seem to go to deep sleep often and a lot of times it shows as awake even though the screen was off for a while.
The straw that broke the camle was when I cmpared notes with my clleague who has a Galaxy S (I know, no 4g, no LTE, smaller csreen). But he is getting 90% battery life with wifi and bluetooth on after 7 hours 15 minutes (minimal use). In the same time period I am down to 60% with bluetooth off!
I am not planning on rooting the phone and using custom ROMS or Kernels right now.
What gives? What do I look at to improve battery life?
Thanks
i notice with out a lot of changes i get horrible horrible battery life. but with a custom rom like quick wiz. i turn screen down. wifi off. under clock it and use a battery saver plus task killer i get two days moderet (use

I would suggest since Roger stock rom sucks the life out of the battery to root it and use faux123 kernel and Gideon's script to under clock it. Im using at&t stock rom rooted and faux123 kernel and I haven't had a bad battery day yet.. currently 12hrs moderate use 73% still.... not bad at all. Give it a try.. its not like it could any worse lol

It looks like this isn't available for Skyrocket.
1) Does it work like it should, and does it save battery, or is the battery savings negated by other junk running with it in the background? Reviews seem very mixed.
2) If you got it on a SR, how? Would pulling the APK from another device work?

I hated my skyrocket when I first got it because the battery sucked. Never could make it through a full day of average use. I did a search, found out how to root and install a custom rom and now I love it. I can go a full day and still have 20% left. All I can recommend is rooting and at least remove bloatware. I've never seen a single skyrocket user happy with their battery life on stock. Maybe sell or trade it for another iPhone.

[Q] Battery Drain with CM 7.2.0 (fjfalcon's) of 19.03.2012

This ROM is really AWESOME!! Everything is running great for me. But the battery is draining twice as fast. Anyone had this problem???
Before, I had the khalpower ROM (froyo) and I used to get 2 days of battery. After the upgrade, I only get less than 24 hours with the same usage.
Battery usage gives: 36% for Cell Standby, 22% for Phone Idle and Display is 12%.
Any ideas?
Tks
Anybody??
PS: I configured everything to save battery but I only get 24h at max.

Can choosing a wrong stock SBF to begin with cause the problem? Say you're in Singapore/India and first flash US cin-bell or Russian sbf. The baseband etc updated as per the country's settings. And consumes more battery. Does this theory stand at all?

You can change baseband with openrecovery-XT720 (It is not necessary a new SBF)
Have you changed provider? When I change my phone-sim from different provider I note different consumption.
There's another part of the baseband (bpsw) that can't be flashed in OR (at least not easily--I figured out why a few months ago, but haven't bothered fix it). Generally, the intent of the baseband updates in OR is to get the ROM portions to match the installed bpsw. But peshovec has convinced me that the baseband updates aren't really doing anything on XT720 because we have only one flavor of GSM on all stock devices (for comparison, A853 has a few different ones). So, I no longer think baseband matters.
Stupid things just seem to happen when you have low signal and an occasional low signal problem may have nothing to do with your phone. Reproducibility is the key here. I started using llama and now pay attention to which tower I'm connected to. For example, at my house in the same chair I can be connected to any of four towers and problems usually occur when I'm connected to a particular one (which happens very rarely). The format of that tower's identifyer code is quite different from the other three so I suspect it's a different model and/or generation.
Anyway, my experience on CM7 is that background processes churn like crazy (constant killed, restart cycles)--and that's what I think causes the problem. I haven't found how to address that though, and in my experience things like supercharger tend to make it worse. It's really weird because I remember a time when CM7 had better battery life than CM6... and I can't pinpoint what changed.
Has anyone compared with peshovec's? There are more of nadlabak's A853 256mb device tweaks in that one.
Try installing "BATTERY CALIBRATION" from the market and follow the instructions. It works for me. I'm using CM9.
To manage the constantly "auto"run apps , you can use gemini app manager , it could change the autorun status of an app . Now there is no more app that can autorun in background without my permission

4.0.4 heavy battery drain

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems with the battery draining with the new 4.0.4 ? My GF Nexus S was still on 2.3.6 so I got the factory version of 4.0.4 and installed it. I obviously wiped the data/cache/etc. Also I rooted it with the latest superuser.
I'm running the latest nighly of CM9 and everything is perfect, so I thought it was time to give her the sweetness of ICS.
So with all that useless information, has anyone found a fix for the battery drain in 4.0.4?
Thank you,
WarpedMonkeys
Since I installed 4.0.4 my battery lasts up to 20 hours, no problem at all.
I'd suggest manual full wipe with fresh 4.0.3 stock rom and then manual ota update to 4.0.4.
I'm also using matr1x kernel, it's just awesome
Hope it helps
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Yeah, me too! Try another ROM. I am currently using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v10 HYBRID and getting superb battery life (and performance, mind you ).

Stock rom is ok, but updating with ota from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 may lead to bad battery behaviour. Someone says that battery stats wipe could lead to better battery performances, but I think fresh install could do the trick

I used this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445621 and installed:
Android 4.0.4/IMM76D/UCKJ1 Radio/KL1 Bootloader
Official factory fastboot images, must be flashed using fastboot on an unlocked bootloader. Contains recovery, radio, and bootloader.
THESE IMAGES MUST BE FLASHED USING BOOTLOADER VERSION I9020XXKA3
I can't really be more fresh than this. I'll try messing around with her settings, but if it doesn't get better, I'll just flash her the latest CM9 nightly
Check your battery usage, if Android OS is using more than 8-9% after some regular usage, then that's the cause.

Ehhhmmmm... My Android OS usage is always around ~20%, but my battery still lasts ~15 hours. Heavy usage. Are you telling me that it should last even longer?
Anyway, AMOLED screen or sLCD?

Her Android OS is normal...I really don't understand why it's that bad. I'll try doing a full battery cycle.
Updated form 2.3.6 stock to 4.0.4
OTA and battery usage is still OK. Lasts about 1-1.5 days. Permanent Wifi or 3g, internetusage and some gaming-No probs!!!

A full battery cycle could do the trick. Don't let it die, anyway, because it can cause battery wear... Just take it to 10% and recharge it nighttime... You may also wipe battery data before, if you wish...

Check apps like news and weather too. My news and weather app really acted up after my ics update and wouldn't stop pulling data. I had to shut off any automatic updating with that app and it fixed my issue. It might have been temporary but just check your apps.

OMG thank you, I didn't notice that. Maybe I can get even better battery performance now it was set to update every 1 hour, so it may be not much, but even 1% is good for me!
Heavy battery drain ??? i don't have any issues with it, infact i have not touched my phone for 1 day 6 hours and 25 minutes and my battery dropped from 95% to 82%. My phone was fully charged (didn't go higher then 95%). I am very impressed by the results.
I changed 2 settings:
1. Automatic screen brightness.
2. Turn screen off after 30 seconds.

Wait a sec... that's not normal for me
Do you use 3G to connect to the internet? Never got more than 20 hours on 3G/HSDPA... without even using the phone!
Hello,
my Nexus S was updated automatically to version 4.0.4. I will tell you. My problem is with data. Now I can not open any WWW page in default viewer,Opera sometimes opens some pages but quite rare. I can not get any email in K9 Mail. Update of Google maps took several hours, unfinished, eaten all my battery! Sometimes I am without signal or with bad signal.
It is for sure problem with 4.0.4 because I have unlimited data. So, no FUP in this case.
I was satisfied with 2.3.6. How can I do downgrade without rooting etc. my phone ?

Check your APNs. But they should have come off the simcard when you updated.

Try find out what is hogging your battery/cpu. Download os monitor.
Or just flash a new rom to see if that helps. make a backup first
