i need help with this, im still pretty new to the whole root/overclock/unervolting thing. currently running gummycharged 2.1 with PBJ and V6 supercharger. Have voltage control maxed at 1200 set on VR and ondemand.
1200 -25
1000 -75
800&400 - 100
200&100 - 150
those are all number i have found that other have been using saying they get 14hours battery life. but in the last hour ive had my phone unplugged ive dropped to 76% battery.
Does anyone have any advice for me?

Ditch gummy. Use a ROM based on EP4D. Also, try to see if you can get more unvdervolting. Here's what I got:

Should I still use PBJ cause thats the only I've found so far the supports voltage control or setCPU

Also do a battery calibration after flashing a new ROM, turn off background data, and turn off auto brightness. All this will help considerably with battery life.
How do I do a battery calibration?

Download the battery calibration app from the market. Just search "Battery Calibration" and it will provide you with the necessary instructions.

It's always seems to be the most obvious solutions. Lol.
Unless that's directed at me for saying something wrong?
each phone is different so be careful when undervolting. i tried to set 1200 to -125 and my phone completely crashed and i had to do a factory reset. I'm actually on IMO kernel which doesnt suppost voltage control but after calibrating i got a good 13-14 hours, granted there werent many phone calls which eats up most of ur battery life, but i was playing games alot, downloaded some apps n such. I figure since i read that imnuts is working on an update to fix a couple issues with pjb ill just stick with IMO until the new pjb is posted. Im also using tweakstock, so maybe u should try that ROM, gummy (from waht ive heard) is pretty outdated at this point. depending on what theme u like id chhose between tweakstock and eclipse. both r very stable.

Hey Imnuts already released the new kernel which fixed the 720p recording and added some more features. Check it out. Version 0130.

You can't really calibrate the battery, it will always report the same voltage for a given % charge, within a certain margin of error. Wiping battery stats has been shown to do nothing relating to the indicator of the battery remaining, and is almost always part of a "battery calibration".

Interesting. So it's just to give a semi-accurate percentage of battery remaining based off of the voltage given by the battery?

Your battery will always seem wonky after a flash. At least in my experience it takes some time for your phone to "get used to" the battery. Almost always it seems the 2nd day with a new ROM lasts longer than the first. And the 2nd week better than the first week.
I'm very excited to flash Dwitherell's Tweaked v2.0 rom . I liked both the Minimal and ICS theme for Tweakstock. The best battery life I've seen with normal usage was on Tweakstock 1.4 and the 3/20 IfinityRom .

Unfortunately I have been having a lot of trouble with my battery, on average my battery will last about 4 hours with minimal usage. It should last over night, but even after a 100% charge it dies by the morning. I have been on Tweak's 1.4 with PBnJ Kernal for a few weeks and I am attempting to calibrate it as I type this. Did you have to calibrate yours? And how long would your battery last if you don't mind?
Thanks.

That is extremely low battery life. Maybe you should try getting a replacement? Something is definitely defective there.

I flashed Eclipse 2.0 because I can't get with the Tweakstock Theme.
But on Tweakstock 1.4 with the PBJ Kernel I had excellent battery life. I'd wake up at 5 am and listen to music for about 2 hours. Throughout the day I would check my email , the weather or text between classes. By the time track practice started at 2:30 I would have 80%+ life . Then at 5 pm until like 7pm I would listen to music and come to a battery life of 70%+ . The key is turn off data and WIFI when you don't need them . I also use ScreenFilter Pro to adjust my screen brightness because my Display is always the biggest factor in my battery drainage.

I second that, sounds like a defective battery or something like that
Tweakstock 2.0 has great battery life for me. I easily get through a full day off of one charge. And that's with playing games and using bluetooth headphones to listen to music!
I am having bad battery life also, but this is just the first day with it. I have looked at one YouTube video and within 15 minutes I have dropped 10%.

Wow! You are definitely getting the most out of your battery. I will have to look into turning my data on and off since 4G eats a lot of battery and thanks for the app suggestion. My screen also is eats up more then 60%+ of the battery usage. I am still on Tweaks 1.4, but im about to upgrade to 2.0 when i get some time. If you don't mind me asking, what else makes you choose eclipse over tweak?

Yeah you're completely right. As I have heard from other users on this site, the phone measures the percentage directly from the voltage on the battery. So erasing your battery stats and the excessive charging and draining is not going to help.
Been running Tweaked 2.0 for a few days with zero issues. Anything I've wanted to do as far as customizations, etc, I've been able to do either through TSM Parts or TweakTools. Awesome stuff. And battery life is as good as it was when I was running Eclipse.
Please take notes guys, I have reiterated this FAR too many times, ROMs have almost nothing to do with battery life. It's almost solely based on the kernel, if you came from a ROM with PBJ to Tweaked2.0 then you would notice a difference whether better or worse since you'd now be on a stock kernel. ROMs can impact battery life if it's an AOSP ROM but since we don't have any of those it's majorly on the kernel. Don't make ROM decisions on battery life and don't "review" ROMs based on how good the battery life is either, please and thank you

Good point, I should have stated I was on Eclipse with PBJ kernel, now on Tweaked with stock kernel...with little to no change in battery life...meaning battery life is still good for me.

My only reason for switching to Eclipse is the beautiful theme. I love the theme . Performance is great , I would like to give Tweaked 2.0 another run but I don't like the theme. I know it's a great ROM but I'm picky about interfaces.

I can leave my phone next to my bed without touching it and lose 10% battery. On HyperNonSense i can not lose a single percent. This happens on CM9 and AOKP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan
Run it down fully a couple of times, see if it helps.
Did this happen soon after you flashed the ROM?
If yes, this is mostly due to the battery needing calibration (Fully charge your battery, boot the phone in recovery, unplug phone, erase battery stats, discharge your phone completely then charge it up again to 100%, and after that it should be better, and after one or two more cycles it should be even better).
Otherwise, it is probably your kernel forcing the CPU to run at max clock all the time, so check, if you use SetCPU or another app like this, if it is not set on max clock, or try flashing a new kernel, but even then a battery calibration always helps.
Do you leave the screen on the highest setting? Also, did you overclock it?
maybe you should go into recovery with a 100% charge and bwipe battery stats, because I'm using hyper sensation and my battery life is amazing compared to when I had the stock t mobile rom
I have been using ViperROM for almost a year and my Anker 1900mAh battery performs excellently. It gives me day and a half on moderate use while at least 24 hours on heavy use (keep wifi on all the time). But I do like to try AOSP roms and whenever I have flashed an aosp rom, battery life has always disappointed me. It hardly gives me 14 to 15 hours on slight use.
Is there a way to get at least a day on moderate use on aosp rom? I'm currently using android1234567's CM11 with sultan r52 kernel and i would love to use it for few months.
Does anyone else Any idea?
My settings:

I am using ViperS 5.0 and i must say it gives me better battery life that AOSP ROM's.

How many days do you use the ROM to arrive at these conclusions.
Only after the first full discharge (~ 10%) turned off the device and charge it Off.
then give us a report

I have benn using android1234567's CM11 with r52 kernel for almost a week now. I have recharged it to 100% after a full dicharge twice. Still the same results. Something is consuming the battery even when the screen is off.
You might want to try a few things such as :
- set brightness to a fixed and low value
- inactivate WiFi search even if WiFi if off (advanced parameters)
- use wavelocks detectors to identify draining apps or process (localisation and Facebook app are two good candidates)

AFAIK AOSP based ROMs will always perform worse than Sense based ROMs due to the HTC battery management being closed source. Hyper-nonsense still has HTC files under the hood hence why the battery lasts longer. When using CM10.1 my battery would last me about 10 to 13 hours without me hardly touching the phone, with Hyper-nonsense or De-sensed elegencia it would easily last over 24 hours. On Viper 5.0.0 I got 1 day 15 hours 13m and 24s with 15% charge left out of the bad by once.
I can't explain it, but , with Kernel ION 50->52.5 All latest KitKat ROMS Builds seems to act good
now i got this
Same with me.
Had terrible battery life with Sultan's KitKat. Try Albino's , battery's far better...

That's quite difficult to say since we all know viper is the battery killer.I have a 2years old sensation. I used viper for more than 6 months and I was like "damn! throw this off." Now i'm using AOSP and It's just what i was looking for. ::victory:
are you serious? it gives atleast 30 minutes screen on time and a lot better on standby. and customisations are endless.
So many mods to apply. Nothing can be better on my senny than AOSP!

I have updated to the official ICS (AT&T) and now I'm no longer getting much battery life. I had some issues with the update, so I wiped my phone and I have little to no apps.
I used to get 10+ hours of battery life, and now I don't even get 8 idle hours (so now it doesn't even last the work day). I checked Battery Usage after it was down to 20% and cell standby took up 90% of battery life.
I used to run JuiceDefender, but I reinstalled it on ICS.
Why have I lost so much battery life; how can I fix this?

I have noticed the same thing on the stock ICS. Also noticed very slow charge times using USB (possibly true with A/C charging but I am normally asleep when I charge with A/C).
Is this just caused by the bloat that they put in? I want to flash a custom ROM just for battery life at this point.

As for battery loss, there are some cases where if the flash wasnt done with 100% battery it could be reading the battery wrong and some people have had success with recalibrating their battery (look up battery calibration on play store). Now it was said that it really doesnt do anything for battery improvements and was just for stats use or whatever but for some people it helped their devices read the right battery stats.
Hi, i'm on 9.1 Stable for a week now, coming from the Stock 3.33 Firmware. I'm experiencing very bad battery life (up to 10% per hour) although I don't use my phone very often.
Here two pics of my battery stats:
Pic 1
Pic 2
BetterBatteryStats says that I the phone is 6:24h of 7:38h in deep sleep. As you can see on the picture something keeps the phone awake from time to time even when the screen is off.
Screen Brightness is Auto, CPU Govenor on ondemand and max 1026MHZ. Mobile Data is off most of the time.
I've already read that many people have bad battery life but only 30min display time with that settings isn't acceptable!
Has anybody similar problems?
Does anyone know what I can do? I read that changing the kernel would help. Any idea if there is any that saves battery?
Greetings and thanks!

Bricked is at least part of the answer. When I was using CM9 Bricked kernel provided the fewest amount of wakelocks.
Though I felt Tamcore was a bit smoother.
Thanks for your answers. I will try the bricked kernel.
Do I have to wipe or reinstall something or can I just flash the kernel over CM9.1stable and it will work?

Hi have you thought of trying a different extended battery ? Anker and mugen make really great batteries . I was having serious battery issues and I tried everything, different Kernels, settings, battery saving applications, still I was having a issue until I switched My battery. Now I don't have any problems and can get about two days with really heavy use out of my battery. I went with mugenbattery 3800mah battery. It did make my phone thicker but for the battery life it was worth it for me. Most don't want a thicker phone and if that's there case try Anker battery. It also will provide extended battery life. Anker is a very good battery. I just needed more juice because I'm a really heavy user. You can get Anker online for about 10 dollars, where as mugen costs around 95 dollars. It just depends on your needs. But I do suggest a extended battery. It will make a big difference in your battery life. If you don't want to spend a lot then definitely go with Anker. It won't disappoint. Both are really good extended batteries and will make a big difference in your device. I know it solved my issues . I do wish you the best. If After changing and tweaking the kernel you are still having issues, do try a extended battery. I think it will help a lot. You can find Anker on Amazon. Com. Good luck to you and do consider the new battery. I think it will make a big difference. Also with better battery stats application you can see exactly which application is causing the most battery drain. Look in alarms and it should be in there. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
