I have noticed a definite decrease in battery life. I have re installed wipe battery stats and used battery calibration tool. I was just wondering if there is anything else i can do to increase my battery life?

There's about a dozen threads regarding battery life. Here's one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055365
I am using TWKernel 4/15 if that makes any difference and i will take at that thread and try using some of there battery life solutions and see what happens.

I'm very new to Clockworkmod, so I'm hoping someone can maybe will in the blanks for me. My D2G's battery life is getting worse by the day, and I've been reading about wiping battery stats using CDM. From what I can find on the forum, it appears D2G can't reboot into recovery, and I have to use Droid 2 Bootstrap? Before I do that, I wanted to first make sure that this is correct, and also see if anyone's had any battery performance increase by deleting battery stats?
I have a question about battery calibration.
After I deleted batterystats.bin, the meter seems to be working fine (prior to deletion, battery meter was not correct - for example, only 50% battery was remaining, but battery meter would be around 70%.
Anyway, do I have to calibrate battery each time I flash new/upgrade ROM?
I've been changing to different ROMs frequently nowadays to find best battery ROM. So I was wondering if I have to calibrate battery each time I flash new ROM.
Thank you!
Honestly I dont think it matters much. I've heard arguments both ways but what I do is I calibrate when I first get me phone (or a new battery) and thats it. I get great battery like even going between roms

You MUST delete the battery stats.bin everytime you flash a new rom

I don't agree with the word must. It would be a good thing after a few flashes but EVERY time is not needed.

Um.. no. theres a proper way to caliberate the battery.
If that was the case then I'd be wiping my battery stats everyday because of CM7 nightlies
But yeah, I'd probably say just do it if you feel that your battery life is awful. Maybe once every 3-5 months? I've had the NS since it first came out and I haven't wiped my battery stats. Battery life is still amazing, so I don't know.
I've been running MIUI for a couple of weeks now and I am seeing server battery drain for no reason. I see people posting 12 - 24 hours but I can barely get through 6 -8 hours without seeing a drastic death in battery life.
Also and I'm not sure if this may matter or not but when charging with the phone off my battery tends to charge incredibly fast.
Not sure what the issue is.
Try a different kernel that's my opinion
Kernel right now is 2.6.35.130 Trinity. Can you recommend another
.13 kernel is old in a way try to flash either fauxs or Showp kernel make sure there the cm7/aosp
I am on the latest miui 1.12.23. i have exellent battery life with there kernel. they have updated the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295200&page=598 scroll down and dowload from pimp and be sure to clear cache and dalvik. and to help battery life install system tuner or setcpu from the market. i use system tuner. i think it works better than setcpu. Also download a battery calibration from the market. helped me alot on battery. hope this helps.

can you please define "amazing battery life"
Stupid question but have you cleared your battery stats file? While I was on MIUI (11.11) I was getting up to 24hrs easily (2450mAh battery) with normal usage

36-48 hours with normal/heavy use
CM10 battery life is pretty poor, anyone found a solution? I remember on defy someone improved by using stock battd folder in place of the original one, however desire s doesn't have this folder. Undervolted, full charge cycle, disabled auto brightness light to moderate use and only 8 hours. Display is main culprit according to system, maybe its getting too much voltage or something? I'm no dev its just a thought

Perhaps you should calibrate your battery with an app like battery calibration
"It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break."
Make it twice or three time then you should see a difference.

Battery stats is a myth: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
The difference seen is purely down to the full charge cycles done in this method, after about 5 days the battery stabilized anyway, thanks anyway

I have the same issue on Pacman (CM 10).
My - I hope temporary - solution is to disable 3G as much as I can. For everyday usage, 2G (Edge) is sufficient for me. At home I am on wifi anyway, so I perform the heavy tasks then.
I noticed a very big difference when using 2G only vs. mode "3G preferred". It seems that there is a 3G battery draining issue with CM.
3g is known to drain battery. Keep it at 2g for better battery life.

I know this trick from the defy forums, cm10 had the same issue on that phone, I'm getting the best battery life with cm10.1 build 12 with andromod kernel, using ondemandx governer gives normal -ish life even with 3g enabled

the idea of slim rom is to remove extra frameworks hence the battery will supposed to increase but why battery drains fast....is there any recommended battery saver software???

I would think this is device specific. What phone/device are you using?
