10% battery drain in 8 hours of little usage.
In average 50% at evening
but drains a lot when playing some games
What'S shown in your battery stats?
Did you do a full wipe before flashing?
Try a full wipe and reflash - only with little market apps installed
i did a full wipe with the tool you gave in your site
im using 3g
very few calls and sms
no games
very strange
every hour 20 % less

That's defintiv much too much.
Look at battery stats in settings - phone-info - batterty - drain (or something similar) if any market app drains your battery.
Did you restore system(!)settings with titanium?
Last exit: wipe everything (eg from recovery - I'm not lbc,so it's not my tool ), redownload (md5 sum!?), reflash - and do not install any market apps for the first hours. Battery drain should be max 1% per hour with screen off.

Did you perform the battery re-calibration that is recommended after new ROM install?
see LBC post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14981516&postcount=581 where he corrected the previously written method.
I'd recommend following these instructions and then check battery usage again.
This thread should not have been started here in Development section, but either as post in LBC ROM thread or as new thread in general.

I never ever did such a re-calibration, but perhaps it helps...
Normaly battery indicator is correct after at last 2 days of normal usage (I always plug in over night and never turn off the phone - so seems that it re-calibrates itself)

mod please...
I had the same problem with lbc 0.5.2. The battery life was like 12 hours normal use.
So i went back to lbc 0.5.1 and everything works fine. Standby time now more then 36 hours.
Maybe this will help you for a while.

Sorry to repeat, but did you try battery re calibration yourself and not the version described on post one of LBC thread but the new and corrected version where you reset battery stats using app at 100 mentioned in post #581

Hey, sorry that I don't wrote that I tried this too.
I wrote with LBC about it. He told me, that he dont has the problem.
I also thought, that maybe the value isnt right, so I dont recharged it, but at 1 percent the phone turned off.
With 0.5.1 I dont have any problems.
mine drains fast as well...
I have followed all the instructions for a newbie with android in terms of saving battery life, but I still feel that my battery drains fast than the normal. Here is the scenario...
Full charge @ around 10-11pm, with one hour extended charging.
Turn off wi-fi before sleeping @ 11:30pm.
In the morning, battery is at 99% capacity as per battery indicator. Screen is at 25% brightness.
Turn on mobile network connection upon arriving at work @ 7am, there's no wi-fi in the office.
At about 9-10am, battery indicator is at 52% capacity. I normally use my phone in browsing Facebook, playing a li'l poker before working (my office is secluded), some browsing etc. I don't watch videos on my phone.
At around 12noon to 1pm, I connect my phone to USB charging in my PC, battery is at 25% only.
I don't think this is normal. My best guess is that the network connection is draining my battery, but I have no other choice but to use it. I'm need it turned on while in office to be connected to the outside world...
Anyway to extend battery life???

From 99% to 52% in 2 to 3 hours?! No that's not normal. Install "better battery stats" from this thread...

Does this mean you are connecting to data through the mobile network?
Is your wifi connection still switched on as well?
If wifi is searching for a connection all the time this will seriously drain the battery.

Depends on their sync settings. The battery stats app will show you which is the greatest consumer. If it happens to be facebook, dial back the usage. I used IM+ briefly, but uninstalled it. I can't remember why. I'm not on facebook.

I do the calibration after any flashing of custom rom. And it's allways helps to me, battery live is 2-3 days after this, and 1 day or few hours if not calibrated after flashig new rom.
Android 2.3.5 roms drain battery mush lower, and work faster. Flash it and calibrate battery after.
I have an unlocked T-Mobile Sensation 4G and I've tried a lot of different rom (with Sense and AOSP, GB and ICS).
I had made battery calibration every rom change (Full charge -> wipe battery stats -> do some full discharge/charge circles in normal use).
Every time I have 50-100 mA battery drain in "sleep" according to Current Widget and another battery widget (tried another to commit that Current Widget tells truth).
The phone settings are maximum power-saving:
Fixed small brightness
2g only
Data and auto-sync are turned off
Wifi only if needed
CPU is downclocked to 1.2 gHz
Battery is stock. Phone is two months old.
In my regular usage (1 hours of calls, 10 min wifi) phone dies in 12 hours after full charge.
It is not my first android and I'm not a total noob. My Desire HD with one year old battery live 2 days with my usage.
Also I notice, that sometimes battery left is not accurate and changed after reboot to a bigger value. For example, 80% left -> reboot -> 82% left.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for my poor English...
My suggestions:
1. Use system tuner or a similar app to check up on which apps are draining the most power (keeping the CPU on, etc).
2. If no culprit can be found, full wipe and reflash your ROM, and refrain from downloading any apps, see if that improves battery drain. If it does, slowly install more apps until the battery drain goes up again, and you'll know whats causing it.
3. If reflashing does not help batter life, you might want to try another ROM or kernel.
4. If none of those help, or even if they do, I highly recommend an ANKER battery, it'll at the very least boost your battery life a few more hours.
5. If the battery life still sucks, then it might be a hardware issue and you might want to get it exchanged or whatnot.
I used to have the same high battery drain problem, but after flashing new ROMS/Kernels and switching to an ANKER Battery, I now get 2 days of light/medium use out of my Sensation.
Currently using Insert Coin 4.5.0 with 1.5GHz overclock+undervolt if you're interested in trying.

Thank you, I will try.
How much does your battery actually drain overnight? Should be around 1% per hour or less if all is well. Disregard currentwidget in deep sleep mode as the Sensation has a very broken meter.

I'll check it this night.
With jumping battery meter I don't know if these values will be correct. But when the battery value reaches 0% the phone shuts down immediately and don't turn on. So 0% it counts well.
i think im also having the same issue . i checked current usage when in sleep mode.its between 50-80

12hrs with the standard battery is actually very good for a sense build, without sense it should go around 15 - if the battery is in good condition. The battery driver for the sensation is very buggy and you won't get accurate results with any measurement app. Don't worry about the standby or inuse readings as they will both be wrong.
If you're battery drains faster than 1% per hour in standby, assuming you are in a good signal area, then use a system info app to see which program isn't sleeping, then uninstall that program.
But it doesn't sound to me like you have a problem.
According to the log file it drains 1-2% in hour (now I'm using aosp build, MIUI). I think, new Anker battery is the only way. Thanks to all!
Maybe in the future we'll get a more accurate battery driver...
Hi folks,
since some days my battery drives me crazy...
Last week i flashed CM10 by nk111. Nice ROM, but my battery lasted only for some hours with normal usage. So I went back to MIUI...problem stayed.
Yesterday I flashed Jellytime and replaced the battery. The problem stayed as well. At 6 pm battery was full, I restored my apps with Titanium, used it a bit and when I was going to bed at 10 p.m. battery was 81%. Getting up at 5:30 this morning --> battery was 41%.
After the battery was full yesterday night I used display for maybe 10 minutes, why there are 36% battery usage by th display?
WTF happened to my system by flashing CM10 by nk111???
Any help is appreciated!

First, do you have Google now on. It really drains the battery. If that doesn't help install better battery stats and let it go through a couple of cycles, it will help you pinpoint if any apps or wakelocks are draining your battery.

app called carat could also help you find the battery sucking thing. It's a bit more simple than battery stats, you'll like it if you're not an expert.
it doesn't need to be a new app that is sucking power, it could be the poorly made update of some app that you're using for a long time.
I installed both apps.
But in both I can't find any kind of statistics about consumed power by apps or something similar, am I that stupid?

I get max 24 hours battery life , sometimes 12 hours , so it's not something to worry. If you speak 2-3 hours and WiFi on another 2-3 hours that is the battery în my case 12 hours max.

IT IS something to worry, cause battery behaviour changed dramatically while I didn't change my usage of the phone.
40% battery loss over night should be a clear indication of abnormal behaviour.

you must run carot a day or two, than it will display some apps on the first page and the approximate battery life you get if you kill them. read the manual also..
Yesterday in the evening I realized a 96% entry in the Partial Wavelocks section - AndroidMediaScanner. I freezed it (I know where my pictures and music is located...), did a full load on the battery and for 4 hours the battery remained at 100%. I really thought the problem is solved...but in the morning...31%
But - the 'Media' entry in the android accu stats is gone, I think this is a partial success.
In the BBS app, there is no remarkable value - the biggest is 3,8%.
When I watch the graphs - WiFi and Awake is nearly completetly blue over the whole night (unfortunately, I can't take screenshots right now for any reason).
I'm a bit helpless right now, will charge the phone now and keep an eye on BBS the next hours/days.
androidmediascanner shouldn't be the bad guy, it's a system app that we all have. maybe your battery is the problem...

I inserted a new battery last week without any change. Don't think both batteries are broken.
The common way to solve this is to do a fresh install. Leave it for a day without any apps yo see if it is ROM related. See if the battery life improve. Install one app per day and monitor your phone awake period with screen on, it should be almost same.

Yesterday night I made a full wipe, installed Jellytime and Gapps and went to sleep...
In the morning --> 67%.
Very odd, normally this would probably indicating a defect battery, but it is new!
Maybe a hardware defect?
Maybe RRU Problem?
Hi,
I have a similar problem here. I was using the desire s for a long timne with stock rom (2.x android), a full battery was enough for ~2 days. Then I rooted the device and installed CM10 (NK111 alpha build).
2 things changed:
The battery is empty after 24h or less.
The wireless network is worse than before. This is my subjective impression but there are places at home or in the office where wifi worked before and stopped working.
I'm starting excessive tests (disabling everything, removing apps, running carat) during xmas holidays to find the reason.
My guess what it might be: to root the device I did a downgrade, including a radio downgrade. Now I run baseband 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11 which is known as "Saga Test RUU" and has the lowest version number of the RRUs listed in the forum. I did not found anything about this in the forum or with google but maybe this is the reason.
My average battery stats with normal use (whole day, used the phone a few minutes):
~30% Display
~25% Wifi
~17% Mobile Standby
~5% Android Os
For comparison, my Motorola Defy has in a similar scenario ~5% Wifi and ~3% Mobile Standby
Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

I've recently firmwared my AT&T A2 CM 10.1.3 and battery drains really fast! The previous build was CM 10.1 (25th of June). I wiped cache and dalvik cache and firmwared CM 10.1.3. At least 3 people report that thie batteries on this ROM drain slow.

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
Thank you fro your answer. When I used previous version of CM the battery lasted 3 days with minimal using and turning the flight mode at night on.
As long as I installed newer version with JBX kernel the battery lasts 20 hrs max.
Power Tutor says that the most hungry apps are Android System and Kernel
Bought a new battery
Used NamelessRom for a two days, and now my battery goes down to 50% normally, after 50% the screen goes black and phone power offu
If I try to power on, can't get even the screen on. Connect the phone to charger, boots up at 0%, instead of 50%
Go back to stock, and tried to calibrate the battery in any ways posible (supercharger scritps, leaving the phone all night charging, battery stats erased) and no luck
The voltage of the battery full charged is 4180mv (the highest value I have reached) and the minium with 0% es 3476mv
What happened?
PD: Also recieved a DM from @kael.yagami and he said the 4.4 roms have messed up with two of his batteries too.
Greetings;
I've never tested the nameless rom. And i got the same problem.
And yes.. I also had a 4.4 rom before.
Yesterday i tried:
delete the battery stats under cwm; installed "battery calibration" application.
Charged the device until full; pressed "battery calibration" button (inside the app; then gave an exaustive use to my device so i could drain my battery faster; charged the device again and so far seems ok. Im going to give another exaustive use to see how it behaves.
I also noticed (yesterday) that at reboot battery percentage gets mad by displaying:
i.e last night from about 50% (52% to be precise) to 5% instantly just with a reboot.
I went: wtf!?
I am using DDLF2 rom.
There may exist an explanation for this.
But it is too much coincidence to be the 3rd person that has installed a 4.4 rom.
It is possible though...
A rom that was designed for specific hardware/devices can make different harware and battery usage.
Due to that reason it lead me to try some alternatives.

I used kk roms in my sl since the beggining and dont have problem with battery. Its your new battery original? May be you dont know that wiping battery stats.bin you are misscalibrating your battery, thats why you have wrong indication level. Read a bit about that.
Sent from Mallorca to your face
I always thought battery stats were only "Battery Usage Information".
Didn't knew that it could mess the calibration. Wich Acording to this website:
http://m.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
There are no effects on battery. And like i said: status info only.
I've been searching for that but couldnt find info regarding de-calibration when batterystats is deleted.
I actually do it whenever i flash a new rom. Never had a problem until now. But i dont believe it is due to the Battery stats.
Wakelocks maybe?

Ok i found my missing part of this in wich i didnt knew.
It is confirmed that battery stats stores information.
By deleting the battery stats there is no harm for your battery.
What happens when you delete the battery stats is you will delete all the infomation the battery uses to perform better.
Erasing battery stats and
Recalibrating is good when you flash a different rom. But not necessary.
The catch is whenever you delete the stats you will have to let the stats be build again. And that will take several days (if not weeks or months of charges).
Only then battery will perform on its best.
I can confirm this fact with my other phone.
It started to last 5 times longer than the day i bought it.
In this case to be precise since the last batterystats. (it was in January).
I dare to say that my other device lasts until the very last bit of battery. Wich is awsome!
Note that you can recalibrate by letting your device discharge completely (until it wont even turn on); charge it untill 100%; done.
Please press "Thank" button if it helped you.
