Sorry mods for creating a new thread, but im too worried and annoyed by this issue . My battery life suck after updating my phone from 2.2 to 2.3.5 xwkpg through KIES, first i was having around one day of battery life, but after updating im not touching the phone but still the battery is draining drastically...100% to 45% in just 5 hrs, without using the phone,i have not installed any new app or changed any settings, please help me with any solutions should i flash another rom, like cranium or smthn.. .. just cant live with it. plus it takes 4 hrs to charge. PLEASE help needed. THANKS
Yes...DDKP3 eats more battery as compared to froyo but i would suggest doing a battery calibration. Search for battery calibrate in the market and perform steps as mentioned
Even i have noticed this ,but its drain is more but not as much as yours,but the ram usage is very high,in froyo i was getting about 294 to 320 mb used,now its always 340 to 360 mb being used.

Use the ram script optimization in the tweaks of cf-root of ganeshbiyer... I now have almost 160 mb of free memory when 1 or 2 applications are running...

I have updated to DDKP3 via Kies. Did a Factory reset as well after upgrade. But my Battery sucks. It last only 11 hours, i have turned off wi-fi, gps, background data, auto sync. Display @ minimal.
When i see the battery usage,
Android OS --> 38%
Cell Standby --> 26%
Phone Idle --> 11%
Android System --> 7%
Voice Calls --> 4%
I have even installed Juice Defender. But battery performance is a moron, far worse than Froyo i had. I am clueless what to do now.

Keep brightness minimum. Install any task killer app which will kill ur background apps everytime automatically say after half hour interval. Most imp flash cf root & apply tweaks.

As you can see from my screen shot, as I was asleep and my phone was locked, my battery dropped about 50%. I was asleep for 8 hours ish.
I have tried calibrating my battery.
What's constantly keeping my phone awake? I use the gmail app for mail and only have one account. Only other thing I can think of is fb or twitter??
Help!!
There has to be other apps you have installed

Install Betterbatterystats from the market.. its about $3 it will show you in depth was is causing your issue.. could be a wavelock..
I have installed BetterBatteryStats, should I use my phone as normal and post its findings tomorrow?
What am I looking for? Something showing up under Partial Wavelocks or Kernel Wavelocks? Or Both?
I also installed Titanium Backup and I froze a bunch of the apps from the list on this forum. (This was as of 2 hours ago, because this battery drain is ridiculous)
I installed SetCPU also, and have it set to 192mhz max&min when the screen is off. (This was as of 2 hours ago, because this battery drain is ridiculous)
I am willing to try different ROM's or Kernels (Whats the difference?), do you happen to know which is the best for Battery life?
raheelanwar89 said:
Okay, I will install that app, does it show each process and how much battery its using?

Click to expand...

Yes.. it will show you processes and battery consumption.. great app..
It will inform you of a partial wavelock and then need to find the app or apps and shut them down, freeze them.. etc..
If you are rooted. reboot in recovery and erase battery stats then calibrate.. run to 100% ( make sure it says 100%..then run it down till it dies ..then charge again 100%.. reboot and have fun..

I use DaG's 0.3 kernel only stable one... very nice.. I am on the stock rom.and get 24-28+ hours battery life on mine.
I have mine set at 54 min/max with screen off.. and overclock to 1782 with no issues.
Rom is a entire tweak of your operating system.. .. a kernel is for overclocking the cpu and some other cool things.. easier to flash then Rom's.
There are many rom's here to chose from.. take your pick
Also use " Cpu spy" to see if your phone is "sleeping" and can see the freq used by the cpu in different states..
If you are rooted. reboot in recovery and erase battery stats then calibrate.. run to 100% ( make sure it says 100%..then run it down till it dies ..then charge again 100%.. reboot and have fun..

I booted into recovery mode but I only have 3 options:
1) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (I did this a few days after I got my phone)
2) Install from SD Card
3) Something else
I didnt see anything about recalibrate battery.
Did I misread your post?
Are you wanting me to Charge my phone while its off to 100% then drain it to 0% and then back up to 100% and THEN install BetterBatteryStats?

When you reboot in recovery.. will have a list of options to pick. go to advanced press that and go down to "wipe battery stats".. and perform that task
You can charge the phone off or on.. yes..go to 100% charge then to 0 and do it again then reboot phone.. you can install "betterbatterystats" anytime my friend
There will be no "calibrate battery" in the list.... FYI
Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
Are you on the stock rom with just DaG's Kernel?
I'm thinking of using a custom ROM, have you tested any of the ones?
Im thinking of TPC v3

No problem
Yes stock Rom with DaG 's kernel. 0.3 version.
I have not tried any of the roms I get the performance and battery life out of my stock rom .. it works for me..
Tpc v3 is good.. stable.. Flash one and see if you like it.
It appears that Wifi being On is not letting my phone go into deep sleep.
BetterBatteryStats had a service under Kernel Wakelock that was wlan_wake or something like that and it was running continuously as long as the phone was powered on (screen on and off)
This might be really stupid, but how do I install a script once I flash my SGS2 SR to TPC v3?
Nevermind, got it. Im currently running tcp v3 with DaG .3 oc'd to 1.728 ghz.
Hopefully I will see some better results with my battery haha

Most important is how you use it to drain so fast. Do you have mobile, wifi or GPS on. Do you play lot of games, listening music. Personally to increase battery life I have onoff widgets on my home screen and turn them on only when I need them. You can set lower brightness as well. Why don't you install some battery monitor widget to see battery draining.

Q 7: My CPU load is all the time nearly 100% and in most part it's used by system. What is the reason of that high CPU usage and how can I fix it?
A: Delete your htcsense.com account. It takes A LOT of your battery and CPU usage.

Wiping battery stats to improve battery life is a myth.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
Hello everyone, I recently went from the Revolution HD rom to the ViperS rom. I had flashed the radio and firmware required (stated in the rom's thread) for the Revolution HD and didn't see anything stating I should flash a different firmware when changing to the ViperS rom.
Now I have noticed my battery life has been reduced tremendously, where on the old rom I could get a day of general use this struggles to last 5 hours now. I have changed the governors and settings for ViperS and reflashed it many times but nothing has changed. Am I missing something here?
You might have to re calibrate the battery.. this can be done by wiping battery stats after a full charge in 4ext touch, or using a battery calibration app from the play store.
Hope that helps
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app
Wiping battery stats is actually useless, it auto wipes every time it hits 100% and doesn't actually offer better battery life. To calibrate, just charge all the way up and discharge all the way down two or three times.

If I see another misleading post about wiping battery stats I will bang my head against the wall in frustration. I dont know how many times Ive said it, IT DOESNT HELP. A google engineer even said as much and gave a full explanation on G+ (google it if you want more info).
Sense 4 ROMs naturally have more battery drain than Sense 3.6 for some reason. To calibrate the battery, charge it to 100% then let it discharge to 5% then repeat 2-3 times. For some reason ROMs need a "settle" period
This is interesting because this Rom has given me the BEST battery life I've ever had in a Rom. Have you tried disabling the logging feature in the settings? This might help a bit. Also perhaps it does need to settle a bit. I've been reading and it's about 50/50 some are getting great battery life like me, others are not....I'm not sure what the differences are that some will get great results and others not. Maybe it's in the settings.also I did not flash the new firmware...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Okay I will give it more time to see if the battery just needs longer to adjust and I'll turn off logging.
Hai..
Im just switching to AOSP JB by AdamG Version 0.1.4.
No mod, stock AdamG ROM kernel, full wipe, just install few app such as whatsapp, cpuspy, medscape etc...this is not my daily phone..
the problem is very high battery drain..
in 4 hours battery drop from full charged to 69%..
Here the screenshot and BBS stats...Can somebody help me please to find the culprit??
Is Google Now on? it takes a ton of battery.

You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.
Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.
You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..
Thanks thalamus..

Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.
I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.
It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.
And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.
Solved by flashing latest adamG ROM..
Thanks adam and thalamus..haha..enjoyed my nexus s back...:thumbup:
