anyone loaded superaosp boot.img on top of cm7?

I keep hearing that this should fix the battery issues in cm7, but I can't find out if it can be loaded on the inspire. Anyone know or tried it?

The newer builds don't have a battery issue, most, including myself, get a 3mA drain while asleep which is as good if not better than most other ROMs, sense included.

Run current widget and let it log. Sounds like a software glitch preventing true sleep.

I've already done all of that. My battery is decent when the phone is asleep. Where it sucks is when I am using it. I can browse the web for 10 minutes and I am done 6% battery or so. Even if I have the phone active most of the time, the biggest battery drains show as cell standby. Something is killing the radios when the phone is in use.

3 mA idle current is just phenomenal out of any device. Nexus one sees 6 mA, even the desire s sees 20 mA, thunderbolt is seeing 30 mA for some reason.
They really optimized the inspire.

So back to the original question....

How much current is your phone draining while idle with the screen on?

I mostly do light browsing on my phone on wifi. If I browse for about 10 minutes or so I'm down 5-6%. When I was stock I'd lose maybe 1-2% after 10 minutes.

What I meant was how many milliamps is it draining while the screen is on? Battery Monitor Widget is what I use to check such things.

Also, what is your cpu set at in terms of speed and governor?

Cell standby: AOSP vs. Sense

Okay, I've been meaning to ask everyone about this for a while now. Has anyone noticed extremely high cell standby use in battery stats? The reason I ask is, when I am running a sense ROM it reads right around 5% usage. But when I am running any AOSP ROM, it usually between 35-40% and causes me to get really poor battery life. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks for any info.

No, i have used both and havent really noticed anythiing like that. It may be just crappy cell signal, what roms were you comparing

I've flashed just about everything available for Mt4g except the ICS ROM's. I'm running team Inferno's arhd at the moment, but have in the recent past tried coredroid, tdj's sense ROM and a few others as well as cyanogenmod, MIUI, and some other AOSP roms too. I get great service in my area, and this has been an issue on all three mt4g's I've had.

I remember someone posting on here about sense or aosp roms, that you could open titanium backup and delete something called "Google Backup Transport" to help a lot of battery issue. I'm not sure if its related to what your problem is though..

Well, I removed the Google transport apk. Looks like I have the same problem with really high cell standby. I'll keep looking for fixes, but until then, I guess I'm running sense.

Look into getting BetteryBatteryStats (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). This will help you figure out exactly which process is draining your battery, as it isn't always Google Transport.
Also, this is a long shot since you said you have this issue on all AOSP ROMs, but have you tried changing the kernel just to see if that makes a difference? I know each ROM comes with a different kernel, but maybe there's a combination of ROM + other kernel that will work for you, instead of the default. I know that was my issue at one point.

On the AOSP Roms I always thought that it was normal for cell standby to be the highest battery drainer in the list because that's just how it was reported for some reason. I could never get the Display's battery drain to be higher than the cell standby. But either way I got the same battery life whether I used Sense or AOSP. The only difference was that AOSP just displayed the battery usage wrong.

+1...I do receive better battery life on AOSP tho, unless I debloat Sense. But the cell standby is always high on AOSP

I've tried most kernels that are out there, and still have the issue. I thought at first that the readings might just be different in AOSP vs. Sense. I usually let the ROM settle in for a day or two to make sure, but cell standby is usually double what display is in battery stats. I can literally watch the battery get crushed. Average battery life is about 8 hours on any given AOSP ROM and close to 24 hours on sense roms. I just seems like it should be the other way around haha. I really appreciate all the help I've received from everyone! You're all great!

Hmm, well one thing is for sure when your on AOSP and your in a area with bad coverage the battery drains significantly trying to connect to T-Mobile. Have you tried putting on airplane mode in those situations? It's what I do when I'm in school because I have literally no service there.

That's the strange thing, I get great service in my area. Otherwise I would put the phone in airplane mode like you suggested.

Did you try disabling mobile data when not using it? Or using juice defender where it would turn of data when the screen turns off?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I've got juice defender plus. It adds around an hour and a half of life. The problem is, it seems that most of the battery isn't used up by data being enabled, but the phone being connected for voice and text. I'm not willing to shut off all radios for extra battery life because what use is a phone that people can't call you on?

I'm not sure what I did different this time, but I installed cm7.2 and flashed tdjs kernel over it. After about a day, everything settled in and cell standby is now staying under 15% its really strange, I've run this combination before and had issues, but not this time! I'm not one to question a good thing thanks for all your help everyone!

How new is the phone? Stock or custom? Have you tried a factory reset since you got the phone?
When I first got my HOX I was experiencing the same issue, it would happen ever so often. I did a factory reset and that seemed to fix the problem. I also installed CleanRom and I saw an improvement in my battery life as well. I know some people are experinceing heating issues that causes the batt to tank like that. Download GSM battery to see if an app is running in the background causing it to over heat. Also if you have your phone rooted you can DL SetCPU and set up a profile to underclock it when it get's too hot.

It's happened to many people before.
Nobody knows why it happens, but people say restarting it helps sometimes

Were you using Chrome with tilt scrolling enabled? (It's enabled as default) That can eat your battery in a few minutes. Or maps?
My only guess because the significant drain happened when screen was awake and phone on.
I don't think it's the signal bug... It shows your signal as straight green, so it's consistent.

Did anyone else think this would be a sense pun?

Nope. First time anything like this has ever happened. No idea what the hell caused it.

I was having issues like this too. He's running Xi40. I had that problem with that ROM too. Went to bed with it fully charged, woke up with it at 47%. Huge down spikes in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
Flashed CleanROM 4.5 RC1 and the difference is amazing. Went out for over 10 hours yesterday and used it moderately and only consumed 34%. Something is up with that ROM. I have CleanROM setup and all the same apps installed as I did with Xi40 but the battery lasts much longer.

htc seem to have issues writing battery drivers.
the sensation and evo 3d battery drivers were completely ****ed up and htc managed to only fix the evo 3d but not the sensation

The network signal in the pic is fully green, no signal drops. Signal drops show as red. Also, from what I've seen, the dropped data signal issue results in a really steep line, but not a dead vertical one. This looks more like the incorrect voltage being read, and the volt meter correcting itself.

Or, since the phone was awake and the screen was on, it was heavily loaded (process stuck at 99% cpu, benchmarking, etc.). Either way, nothing to see here, move along.

+1 on the volt meter not reading properly.

I don't think you will see a vertical drop, no matter how heavily you load the CPU. A steep line, yes. But the vertical line indicates an instantaneous (or near instantaneous) drop in voltage. My guess is still that on an incorrect voltage reading, and the voltmeter suddenly adjusting for the error. As others have mentioned a factory reset resolves the issue, its possible some residual battery meter data is left over from a previous ROM.

It's nice to wake up to this.

I find that when I have my phone unplugged for like 3-4 hours it drains very quickly once I start using it. For example I'll unplug at like 7 or 8 and go back to sleep, wake up 3 hours later or something. When I start to use my phone it seems to drain a lot quicker. Is this normal for you guys?

Does it drain much during that 3 hour interval? You could try using an app like CPU Sleeper or SetCPU that allows you to turn off a core when the screen is off.

I love the battery life on Synergy 1.3! I haven't flashed to 1.4 yet, kinda liking where my set-up is right now. I'll probably wait until there's a few of the kinks worked out yet.
But yeah, I charge my phone overnight too...It usually comes off the charger about 8am, and at midnight I still have 50-60%, depending on how my day went...Some days, I only have to charge every other...

Looks like you're using about 12-13mA while idling, I am assuming you had mobile network and wifi off? I'm typically at around 24mA with wifi idling

Nope. Data and wifi on although I have sleep set to never when plugged in. I don't think I have anything set to auto update besides push mail though so it probably slept all night with me
This is standard battery as well. I just added the lean kernel and I am getting even better battery life. This is with mild screen time and 2 hours of pandora. You can see in the screen shot that it was only really awake when I had the pandora running.

Crazy battery life.....anyone have comparisons between this and 1.4? Would be interesting to see if the claims by some is true about the additional drain.....

That's some really smoking battery life! Congratulations, are you using any app or tweak for that?

It's lack of apps honestly. I have nothing auto syncing. I'll sync it when I get in the app. Also using better battery stats showed me an app that was wake locking. The lean kernel and battery saver script I'm sure are helping. No need for an extended battery on this baby.

[Q] Battery life getting better after charges?

I flash my Crespo a lot and I notice that if I stick with a ROM, use and charge my phone a few times with it, the battery life, which is not so good at first, gets better and better after a few charging cycles. Anyone experiencing too?

Nope. Maybe you're using the phone less since you probably take a few days getting everything set up and syncing first time around

Like he said it's probably just due to you not having to set things up and get everything sync'd. There is no scientific reason for what you're describing.
