Hi I flashed the RCMixHD ROM v 3.5 A2SD+ version to my Desire together with the circular battery mod (the file UOT-03-13-18-35-1.zip), and found a very bad battery life, battery died in 4 - 5 hours of idle, and it showed that Android OS was using most of the Battery. I then tried to copy the original framework-res.apk over in recovery mode, and voila, the battery life came back to an acceptable level.
It is nice to be able to see the battery life in percent; but if doing so is eating all my battery, it is not worth it. so the framework-res.apk in UOT-03-13-18-35-1.zip is obviously very bad, i did have a circular battery icon with percentage with my previous ROM, without that side effect. So I guess I need to build my own APK for this.
get circle battery the best one and in my opinion it doesn't eats the battery at all

My battery level indicator displays a higher battery level after rebooting. With an app (Battery Indicator) which is translating level in %, its about 10%.
Rebooting in recovery is also resulting in an higher level, also about 10%.
I'm using Insertcoin 3.4.2 with 2.6.35.14Brickedv1.5 kernel.
Has the custom rom or kernel something to do with displaying inaccurate battery level stats or is this something normal?
Keeping rebooting doesn't deliver me a full charge btw, now that would be something nice
I have somewhat of a similar problem.
I use hyper non-sense 0.5 and today my cell wouldn't charge beyond 99%. I rebooted and only had 92% .
I wiped batterystats before rom flash..
Maybe these issues are somewhat related?
It's known that the battery reporting driver is **** and bugged.
Also, if you reboot, you'll get messed up battery reports than if you power off then back on.

Only wipe battery stats when your battery is charge to 100%
Support TrevE! Fuh Q CIQ!
Ok, thanks for the advice. Good to know not to be too much confident on the battery indicator.
Have found another threads about the battery stats and the behaviour of li-ion batteries also (the search button was gone for a few days, but back at the moment ), reading already...
hi all
i got my new w8 last week and i did not charge it for 8 hours ...
when i got it i straight
-root it
-install a new rom
-and bring it out
-all in 40mins or so
is it a factor?
cause now my battery only last 4 hours before going to 0%
while my sister's w8 (same model ) have 60% battery after 5 hours .ck ..
really scared man cause 4hours battery life is unusable
even in stock it's still draining ...
specs -
w8
stock kernel / rom
will buying a new battery help?
Just recalibrate it. Turn it off and charge 'till full, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, turn the phone back on and use it until it turns off by itself.
Try calibrating the battery... but I must also add that I flashed some ROMs and when I restored the backup of my original ROM, the battery life was absolutely horrible and the phone kept overheating. I flashed MIUI and now it's like a new battery again.
there are some free battery calibration apps in market too. some latest works too.
battery calibration is very god
Very unlikely that you did any permanent damage. But I would be sure to do a few full charge cycles. As in charge to 100% and leave it plugged in for a while, and then allow to drain all the way to shut down.
Hey could you recommend me a way (an app, what to look for, etc.) to analyze battery drain. I switched from ARHD to CM9 and battery drain is very high even with less clock than ARHD and batt. saving governor. So what should I look at to find the reason for this battery drain the build in battery statistics app doesn't help much.
there is a part in ARHD thread about battery problem, under FAQ
here are the links:
[GUIDE][NOT SPAM] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
[How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
Hello everybody!
My HTC Sensation is acting kind of weird the last few weeks.
It all began when i flashed CM 9 on it. It worked great, but pressing both the volume button would cause it to crash, so i flashed CM10 (kang) to it.
Now what happened at CM9 already was that it would just turn itself off at some points. During browsing, or taking a picture, Or just sitting in my pocket.
I had a almost full battery at that time(about 70%+) and it just went dead, reboot would give me 1% left. In CM10 the same problem happens. This time i took screenshots of the battery management screen, i included them in the attachments.
I wiped battery stats even tough it is a myth but could always try it. Did not fixed this.
Now the funny thing is when i reboot the device and it says it has only 25% left of charge. It reboots and BAM i have 75%, Reboot it once more and i lost 10%, rebooted again and it kind of stabilized. Now i have it on the charger and i am watching it, the LED on top stays on orange for about 2 seconds, then turns to screen for 1 second and then it turns of. then it just cycles trough the same again.
I hope i am making myself a bit clear about this and i will answer all questions i might have left out that are important.
Please help me because i cannot trust this phone anymore, it dies without warning and i have to boot it to find myself stranded with 1% left (which ironically can last for hours if the phone doesn't die).
PS. I included 3 screenshots. The first 2 are from when it died 2 times, as you can see the dips.
The last one is when i rebooted it and it gained allot of percentage.
Thanks in advanced

Have you checked to see it if you have any wake locks? You can check with better battery stats apk. Also might be time for a new battery. You can get a good extended battery like anker for under 20 dollars,. My stock battery life was so bad, changed it to extended battery now it's really made a difference!
Hi,
I recommend you to see if you have any wakeclocks (Check via BetterBatteryStats)
You might have a bad flash. Check MD5 of ROM/Kernel
Check your running applications.
Let your newly installed ROM settle down for a few battery cycles.
But in your case, maybe a new battery?
I moved before few days from stock ROM to Bruces CM10 from 14.11. and have battery problems too. It drains to fast ROM is pretty stable, but with this battery life, I can hardly use it... Now I am on battery only for 10h 26min, display was ON for only 1h 55min and I am on 17% with battery... Something is bad

I have same probleme. I move from stock Rom to 11.11Bruce CM10 then upgraded to 14.11 but my battery life now very bad. I could reach up to 30h battery without charging with stock. In addition to that, I realized that the battery level could be significantly different from one boot to another : Phone show 41%, I reboot then it show 57%...
Need help but can't report on bruce thread.

It´s the same for me too... Battery skips on different values after reboot... For example when I am charging and battery is on about 90%, I do reboot and after that phone is on 100% battery... Weird...
My original battery was swollen so i replaced it with a i9000 battery which is 1500 mah but i have been getting a really bad battery life it drops 1 percent every 15 mins and i need to charge my battery again middle of the day. I am using cm 10.2 alpha 4 right now.I attached my battery stats, battery stats from battery doctor app and my about phone screen shot. Let me know if you know my problem and if you need more information.
Note: I have to use a i9000 battery because it's the only battery that fits my phone i could find here
