[Q] HELP!! Battery is killing my phone

Ok i have flashed ARHD and that's it. I haven't messed with anything else. But i am getting a huge battery drain even when i am not doing anything on the phone. Look at the images attached to this post. As you can see at some point the phone is awake even though i haven't touched it. I left it for 24 hours, with minimal use at the start and then i just left it at home. I have disabled background data. Can anyone help me with this? Is it because of ARHD rom?

Hi,
Poor battery life is probably down to the kernel you are using.
It's about experimenting to find the best ROM/kernel combination.
Choose from either Faux kernels HERE
Or bricked kernels HERE
Make a nandroid backup.
Place kernel on the root of tour sd card,
wipe cache and dalvik,
flash kernel like ROM,
reboot.

Thanks for your reply!
I just noticed version 3.6.12 was out and flashed it. It's with latest Faux kernel. Will test this out and see how it is. If it's same then i will try bricked kernels. Anyone you would recommend for this rom ?

Hi,
I think there is a problem with the wifi on that version.
The links to kernel to fix wifi:
1.56 http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db...x123/Pyramid-Kernel-0.2.8-M-sense-1.56GHz.zip
1.73 http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db...x123/Pyramid-Kernel-0.2.8-U-sense-1.73GHz.zip
You can start there.

flashing 1st one now and will see how it goes in 24hours or something like that. Thanks bud!

ARHD 3.6.13 just got released, is the wifi battery drain still there?

Hi,
3.6.13 only came out today.
You need to give it a chance before you can judge it.
If you do get poor battery life ,you need to experiment a bit with the ROM/kernel combination.
I gave the link to the main kernel Devs above in post # 4

i flashed this kernel u linked to:

but i still get huge battery drain. Look at the attached images. Those can't be normal. I mean my galaxy nexus never is awake while phone is idle.

It was just a question, I'm sorry if it looked agressive :>
I tried ARHD x.11 and x.12 and have had this awful wifi battery drain aswell but I didn't try another kernel because I was very new to the Android OS. After that, I have tried some other custom roms but I didn't fell in love like it happend with ARHD. So just wanted to know if this bug is still there or if something has changed.

I've had this battery drain with every ARHD roms and some other roms and it seems like nothing can fix it. My guess is .13 wont help me either.

I only had this problem with the ARHD roms. Which radio do you use?

10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 which is recommended for that rom

Hi!
I'm bit noob at this but I have used ARHD roms since 3.x now using 6.0.2 xe version.
Never had such battery drain, used latest kernels from faux at 3.x now 6.0.2 uses stock
Kernel and my battery drain is in idle about 1%/hour..
Have you tried fresh install? I read somewhere that the kernel should install first then Rom?

Hi,
That drain you are showing is not actually that bad...
When I was on 3.x.x it was worse than yours.
You cannot compare phones like that.
They are running different OS,different hardware,so they are not comparable.
I used to get 1-2 mA drain on my HD2,but you will never see anything that low on the Sensation.
Why don't you try THIS KERNEL

I had the exact same problem. I fully charged my phone to 100% and then go into recovery and wipe battery stats.
works fine for me

SoD/ not waking up on cm9/ ics

I had that screen dying this rom also... on build 3 as many more i´ve noticed.
I flashed that earlier kernel after not succesful try on that build 3 kernel.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12943198/ics22.zip by arakmar.
Normally build3 trough odin and flashed this ics22.zip trough cwm
Big thanks goes to MrComputerRevo for posting this:
"So I had no waking up issue so I falshed another kernel, but that decreased perfomance and sound was laggy... So I thought what if I flash the kernel that arakmar posted a couple pages ago... Guess what: I don't have lockscreen or waking up issues, sound is perfect and headset works! Try it!"
I followed these instructions and it really helped!
hopefully this helps someone too

nice news i needed to hear that to change to cm9
thanks a lot !!
by the way how do you see the battery backup? similar to cm7? or worse?

Nice to hear
Well my whole g3 is only 6months old so no battery issues on that case. But i noticed on cm7 that 1.3 hv kernell was the best, didn' t drain battery so fast. If u want more power/speed ( over 1ghz) with different kernell prepare to lose your battery faster.
On cm9 i'm using the same as 1.3hv stats, max 1ghz on processor speed. My battery has lasted on this for last 4 days, since i flashed this rom.

thanks for th info mate
i flashed cm9 with arakmar's kernel and everything is ok..but i want to get rid off the gapps that i dont need , i only use market and gmail..but i dont want to delete anything vital for the phone or these two apps :/ any idea what should i keep and what not?

none of the google apps is vital for the phone

Imo u can delete what u dont need, gapps are not vital for the phone, many roms doesn't have any of google apps but many devs put up a link for every one who wants gapps on their phone

[Q] kernel compatible with mpics

just buy a new battery if it drains in 10-20 mins....that's not kernel fault at all.,....just for all others to know: I'm flashing roms & kernels on my g3 very often...my phone has 1st battery & it's 16 months old...and you know what?...i still get 24-30 hrs of battery juice out of it...& it never drained so fast as many users are reporting & blaming the KERNEL for fast draining.....so.....:beer:

found that flashing I5801DDJG6 firmware fixes the issue but all the download links of that firmware are dead can someone provide me with working links of the firmware with bootloader removed please

Dude this is not kernel problem
First See how hot your phone is
If your phone is 60C or even higher don't expect anything more than that
Anyway as rkoby said our g3mod has started to get older and most of their batteries are not able to hold charge for long time
Think of replacing your battery
If you are still sure stock firmware will work I think kyrillos had a collection of stock roms ( check in his rom thread)

Possbile Screwed Battery - Any recommendations which to get?

I think I may have a dud battery. I bought the HTC Desire phone from a forum 2 months back, so not sure how old
the battery is. I currently have the phone rooted using a custom ICS rom and when the battery level on the status bar reaches 30%
it powers off, and i need to charge up. I recently had the MildWild 5.0CM rom installed and when the level reached 18% it shutdown.
Am guessing the battery is screwed, so need to buy a new one.
Have checked and this battery is a genuine HTC battery - Model: BB99100 1400 mAh
Can anyone recommend a battery I should go for?
Thanks.

This is late but around 15% is normal

if you flash a compatible rom/kernel like oxygen or CM7.2 you can try this tuto : http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=723
with that app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ds.batterycalibrator.ui&feature=search_result
be very careful when typing registry values and folow the tuto exactly.

And another version that Oxygen rom, it works well?

this app will calibrate the battery epprom. you need a compatible rom to do that but after calibrating you can change to any rom, it remains in the battery memory.
mildwild CM should work because of this CM7.2 base (i hope it fits the CM official kernel)
it worked well, my phone was shutting down on 8/9% and now 0/1%.
it doesn't make the battery last longer but value is just more accurate.

Thanks for your answer.
Is that a rom Miui 2.4.6 vith kernel 2.6.35.13 ManU-2.1-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-BFS it works ?

I have no idea, manu Kernel is really old ...

Ok ...
Do you have any other kernel for me?
Yet at MildWild example, the kernel was advised ...

use battery calibrator app. it can fix your battery.

I put Serenity kernel on my device and I couldnt start nexus s. In fact I turn on my phone and it comes to starting image (sign X and its loading to go into android) and i stays there. I left device for about 2-3 minutes and nothing happened.
So I decided to install HellyBean.
But thank you for your help and NextGen is excellent rom (except battery) and I look forward for newer version

Well, then you could flash another JB kernel
BTW, Good luck with HellyBean:good::fingers-crossed:

2-3 minutes? you're clearly not patient. You realize sometimes when you flash a new kernel it takes awhile to boot up? You should've given it at least 3-5mins for the first bootup.

There's nothing wrong with the ROM or kernel. My ROM is AOSP, so it not booting up has to do with your phone. If you look at the thread, no one else is having a boot up problem but you, so please don't blame the ROM right away. You gave it 2 minutes to boot up after flashing a new kernel and then gave up on it.
You asked for help about the ROM and I'm trying to give it to you, but it seems you're just looking for a way out of NGA.
Like I said, nothing to do with the ROM, I'm running it right now with the same kernel as you, perfectly.
