Hello there!
i've been using reaper 3 weeks ago, i had an idle batt drain of 11mAh and working batt drain of 110-170mAh
After flashing LOTS (LOTS (LOTS)) of Roms, at the part where i reached IceColdSandwich 5.1 i started having this enormous battery drain when i switch to 3G (even if mobile data is off, even if signal is high, even if i switch to flight mode) (about 280-360mAh)
The above was recreated after flashing radio 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20_M and 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M, Trying the "perfect way to flash a ROM" & on a clean untouched Reaper v2.1
-i've flashed about 4 radios so far.
-i don't use GPS,Wifi,etc..
-i've tried MIUI,Reaper,Hyperion,Endymion,CM9 Roms, no avail.
-i've tried flashing the radios through bootloader and through "fastboot flash"
-i've been spazzing over the last 3 days over this, HELP! ;A;
-Oh, and this happens on 2 new batteries i just got, it didn't happen before the IceColdSandwich incident.
-i get about 5-6 hours of use.
-the battery drain atm is as follows:
Before:
**9mAh standby >> 80mAh on (2G)
**12mAh standby >> 150mAh on (3G)
After:
**15mAh standby >> 99mAh on (2G)
**100mAh standby >> 320mAh on (3G)
UGHUGHUGHUGH

Check your PM
Are you always in the same location, can we rule out signal strength and differing cell towers?
You could attempt to switch to using just GSM in an attempt to rule out signal
I'd say take a full nandroid backup and then clean instal to establish a base line before you add applications

+1 to that.
And remember, ICS ROMs are still not optimized, there being no proper kernel and all... so the battery drain was not unexpected. But that shouldn't have prompted you to change the radio as it was working fine, i presume, on other ROMs... Now this new radio might be the troublemaker.
Its always good policy to leave the radio alone. This ain't Samsung...and radios are dangerous things to play with anyway (not necessarily, but then if they bite you in the ass while flashing, there ain't no rabies vaccine for you phone buddy)

Hmm, i was on the move today as it Discharged in about 5 hours :/ moved in between 2 cities so i don't think it's the signal o.o
GSM battery drain is normal, the problem is only when i switch to 3G
I'm on:
Reaper V2.1
20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M (same radio from before the problem)
clean install, no apps, i haven't even added my google account yet.
Battery drain on 3G is 40mAh on standby, 250mAh on screenON.
well i had the same radio "20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M" before the problem started, i flashed a couple then back to the same one, now i'm on the same radio as before.
one thing i noted when flashing the radio is that it takes 4 seconds to unpack but about 1 second to write, is that normal?
I'll try switching SIMS/SDcards, i'm confused =A=

Done that, battery lasts for 8 hours minor usage, Mostly GSM, i'm on the same radio i had before the problem showed, the battery usage goes up when switched to 3G even if i enabled flight mode :/

Which ROM are you currently on?
I can't speak for the one that you mentioned above as have never used it, why don't you try the one that I'm on, can highly recommend it. See link in my sig

It's stock cyanogen with some tweaks, i changed the SIM and the SD card, i'll install it now and see, damn about 350mA when browsing
Q: btw when flashing radios, is there any other probability than SUCCESS/FAIL?
Like, can the part that the radio files are being written to has something wrong? or could the bootloader be copying files improperly? then again if that was the case the radio will go poof, =w= wierd......it's not even overclocked...i'm starting to suspect something else than the radio, but idk anymore... let's see where this goes. thanks btw~
I have -4mA / -3mA battery drain when idle.
1. Data turned off
2. Wifi turned off
3. GSM only
4. All sensors turned off
5. Screen 20-40% brightness
6. -75 Undervolt
7. Conservative IDLE governor

What app you are using to measure that?
I use battery monitor widget, but on "Current widget" it always shows double the current :/
what version as well? what's your drain when on 3G & Browsing? sorry for being demanding D:
I'm thinking of flashing an RUU, if that may solve my problem, but now one question:
What RUU do i have to flash in order to keep my current S-OFF etc. etc.. (I live in jordan btw) so an arabic RUU should have a radio that's optimized for our region no?
plan : Flash RUU for our region >> See what's up, but i'll hear from you all first
i'm on the 0.98.2000 currently.

Okay, flashed it and didn't install anything, i have multiple batteries to do some testing so here's the results so far:
Battery drain is mostly @ 3G even when the signal is 5 bars.
Battery drain increased while using 2G, but still not that much.
The battery drain is almost not there when on WiFi, streaming an HD video on Wifi only takes about 124mAh
Switched out SD/SIM, same.
i got 9 hours out of 2G and 5 hours on 3G
i must say that my powerbutton is almost broken too, it behaves erratic sometimes, actually....i lock/unlock the phone by pressing the area towards the front cam a bit, to avoid pressing the power button which sometimes makes it press 2-3 times from 1 press idk if that may cause anything.
would restoring it to stock with an RUU fix a problem? i mean since the update would replace the bootloader/radio/etc... so i guess it should rule out any software related reason no?
My phone info is as follows:
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
CID : HTC_38 (got from CIDgetter from android market)
i live in jordan so a middleeastern RUU would work i guess?
Ok damn, Got it to S-ON and flashed a middle-eastern RUU and the drain is still there, the only thing left now is to suspect that the thing which caused the power button to go derp is the same thing that's causing the drain, Is it possible?
Damn, and the stock is so pretty and smooth *A*

Looks like a hardware problem to me buddy...there's nothing normal about the way your power button is behaving...

If you're inclined towards it, get a dust-blower out, remove all you can without loosening screws & blast the darn thing. If that doesn't work, try get a mini-screwdriver set, carefully disassemble, clean & reassemble your DS. Time consuming but from all you've written - and the responses you've gotten, the odds of a software problem are seemingly slim.
By the way, does it heat up like an oven while in use?

This is a but left field, but have you thought about trying a different battery? Try ringing HTC support and tell them that you battery discharges in an instant, exaggerate slightly and they should send you another battery to try
Certainly worth trying it?

Ben, he's tried multiple batteries... And also all sorts of roms. That's why this points to the issue being somewhere in the phone hardware.... Plus he mentioned that gis power button is possessed by the devil, so I'm leaning towards a hardware issue... My advise would be to get back to stock pronto and claim warranty.

Apology for not fully reading, sounds like you're right only option is hardware return under warranty, if possible

Sent it to some of my friends here in HTC today, they'll see what they can do >_<
I got it second hand so no warranty, and i'm scared of opening it up so i'll just chill for sometime, hopefully when it's back ICS would have popped up mysteriously coughproxcough.
I thank all of your advices, means a lot ^w^ since i bought this thing i'm plagued with stuff, but it only made my knowledge a whole lot better, maybe this cool-down period will cure my Flashing OCD xD

Hey everyone, I am enjoying the nexus s 4g(traded in my Evo 4g) but I have noticed some issues started to pop up after the OTA update to 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22). Also I am not rooted yet(for fear i will not be able to receive the next update that may resolve the issue's listed below).
Note I have updated my Profile, and PRL(Next to flashing to another ROM to mitigate the issue's).
1) Battery Charging, after the update the battery will not charge past ~95 percent.
2) Battery Life when idle, before the update battery life was outstanding with moderate usage. Now the device's battery life drops to ~85 percent after being unplugged for 15-20 mins.
3)Signal Reception, yet again my phone will constantly switch between 1x, and 3g even though my SNR, and DB never hits above ~65DB-~70DB.
4)Data Rate/Bandwidth, I was pulling 3-4 megs down/ 1.5 - 2.0 megs up(I live in the Virginia Beach Area) over 3g, Now I get "**** for speeds"(.3 megs down/.25 megs up. Maybe it is reference to the issue listed above(AOSP ROMS in my opinion provide a more accurate display of mobile network connectivity).
To end it I hope I am not alone with these issues?
Maybe if possible someone has a solution?
The battery thing is a means to keep the battery in better shape its not a bug.

You aren't alone, all of the issues you listed are being looked at by Sprint and Google right now, although like the above poster said, the battery thing is intentional. Hopefuly they figure out what is wrong soon =/
In the meantime, using wifi when possible should alleviate a lot of those issues, mainly battery life on standby.
Many of my battery and network connection issues got mutch better when I turned the wifi to never sleep.

If your constantly going between networks rider is your battery drain thought there. If it was better before then there is hope your problem can be fixed with another ota

The data issues you are having are due to 2.3.4 and they are known. google/samsung are supposedly working on it. But I doubt we will see a fix anytime soon if Samsung is fixing it!
Woa, woa, woa. Wait a second, are you saying that going back to 2.3.3 or whatever the previous version was will alleviate all the signal/radio/data problems? !?!!?
If so, will downgrading stop me from being able to upgrade in the future?

nope. depending on the version you are going back to you'll mostlikely get an insta notification that 2.3.4 is available for your device, you just got to ignore it until they either fix 2.3.4 or release 2.3.5.
2.3.4 is already out. If they release a new fix it will be 2.3.5.
And what the post above mine says about the updates.
I have also seen tat 2.3.3 also has some issues with 3g. But the post I read up could have been all lies
rentaric, you did not answer the question as to whether downgrading will address the signal issues...

OP:
When you "root" the NS4G, you're just unlocking the Bootloader, then installing SU/recovery....I do believe you can still receive OTA updates. The only time you can't is when you're running a custom ROM.

Hey man, I returned the phone yesterday, and then bought a replacement(same model, but in order to avoid sprint's one exchange limit) With regards to the battery issue, it most likely is hardware related because the new phone running 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22), charges fully and does not have the so called "protect your battery feature". Also while i was at the Sprint Store, I compared the signal strength of my original Nexus S to an HTC Evo, HTC Evo Shift, and another Nexus S 4g. Oddly enough even in the store(which has signal booster's all over the place. All of the phones where around -76db. I am starting to think it is either a hardware issue or a ****ty baseband version. Most likely hardware. Kind of reminds me of the Samsung Captivate i had with AT&T and the ever so wonderful bug with Odin(Orange/Blue flashing screen of death that turned my investment into a paperweight. Also after running the *#*#4636#*#*, and displaying the Preferred Network Settings, I noticed on all 3 phones tested, all devices would switch from WCDMA, to Uknown, to the best of my understanding the default should be CDMA_Auto PRL. Very Strange, very strange indead......... Samsung needs to invest into quality control, before lawsuits start.
Damn! I am on wifi and charging the phone. I just woke up and picked up the phone and started using it. I've experienced that using the phone after an overnight charge, but not removing it from the charger, will make my battery go up to 98%. I just saw it hit 99 and was like I need to get a screen shot of this. By the time I downloaded and installed something it dropped back down to 98. I've never seen this phone hit 99 before today. If it does it again I am prepared to archive it.

​
Q. So I've just got my shiny new One S..... How do i unlock the bootloader ??
A. Congrats First step to unlocking bootloader is via HTCDev which can be found HERE You must make an account first and select your model (if model is not shown select 'All other supported models').. Instructions are on there
Q. Awesome. How do i use ADB ??
A. Check out THIS thread for in depth details with pics. (Credits to MLIGN for creating this)
Q. Ok so I know how to use ADB, I have unlocked Bootloader, How do i get CWM Recovery + Root ??
A. To get CWM + Root please look HERE (Credits to TORXX for creating this)
Q. Ok, Now I Have **TAMPERED** In Bootloader, Does this mean the world is going to end ?
A. No the world will not end, Not today anyway, **TAMPERED** is Normal when using custom software, Such as ROMs / Recovery, It will disappear when you revert to stock. Also, If you get SECURITY WARNING, This is also normal(ish) You will have to relock bootloader and run an RUU to restore equilibrium in the universe
Q. Help my phone is in a bootloop and I can't remove the battery
A. Ok calm down, Hold down the Power button for 10 - 15 seconds... This should force a reboot
Q. Thanks, You're Awesome. Now Where can I find a Custom ROM ??
A. I know, All custom ROMs are in the Development Section found HERE
We have no Kernel Source Code yet, So not everything is possible. Please be patient
Q. Oh if only there was such tool that could make this whole process much simpler.....?
A. Well my friend its your lucky day ! Check out this awesome tool HERE (Credits to HASOON2000 for making this)
Q. My phone is faulty... How can i get it back to stock before sending it for repair ??
A. To go back to stock, Run an RUU (available in Development section) If you cannot find one that matches your CID, Extract the rom.zip from the RUU and modify the android-info.txt, Re package it and flash the rom.zip in recovery, WE NOW HAVE SUPERCID, CHANGE TO WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO GET THE RUU WORKING !!.
Q. Help, I did some crazy **** and now I'm in a boot-loop with no ROM on my SD to flash !!
A. Ok, Firstly WHAT THE HELL !!! Secondly, Calm down, Try a full factory reset, or restore a nandroid if you have one, If that fails, Look at THIS guide on how to push files / Flash ROMs via ADB.
Q. Ok, Thanks, But that didnt work, I have error mounting SD card, I think its a brick.
A. Ok, Slap your self in the face 3 times, then stub your toe ! Now look at THIS guide on how to fix your issue
Q. Is this all the FAQ's Done with ??
A. No I will continue to update the FAQ's When they become more.....erm Frequent,
TIP: Always Check MD5 Checksums match on flashable .zip files.. Download MD5 Checker HERE
IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE ANSWER YOU NEED, LOOK HERE, IF ITS NOT THERE, THEN YOU MAY POST
Hi,
Great idea...
Is it known how well the camera will work in a stock ICS ROM, ie Cyanogen etc? What with it using the ImageSense chip and all. Will drivers be an issue?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Way to start the thread off !! you couldnt have asked a simple question could you lol
I dont think its clear to anyone yet how the camera will be on CM9 - Theres a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594470 To CM9 ROM for the One S, But hardly anything is working yet, Including Camera..
I guess its down to the developer of the CM9 ROM and the code & drivers they use, But as for now its anyone's guess...
This phone hasnt been released still in some parts of the world, So at the moment development is slow..
OK how about this one: 5GHz 802.11n WLAN support? The spec sheet on htc.com is kinda light on details.

Yes HTC One S supports that !

No, it can be either 2.4 or 5. 5 is better as 2.4 is very polluted with microwaves from various devices, also bluetooth operates in the similar if not the same range, so you get worse wifi connection when using wifi and bt simultaneously.
No idea wherever One S supports 5Ghz though. I guess some info on it will pop out sooner or later.

Ok so ive got a question.
What radios are currently available with the One S ?? I got the One S because of signal issues with my Sensation.
Signal is better with this device, But Still not full bars like it was on my SGS... Im on a 'test' period where i can test the device for 7 days before committing to it.
Id like to test some other radios and see whether it improves my signal

I think its a good idea too. We had a similar thread over on the sensation forums. It was incredible. Every one chipped in to help each other like one big team
Id like the same thing to happen to this thread.
My router only supports wireless n on 5 ghz and my s can't see the network . So unless I'm missing some setting it does not support 5 ghz
Hmmmm... It seems you're right !! My router supports both 2.4 & 5ghz
I switched it to 5ghz, It disconnected, I switched it back to 2.4ghz It connected straight away..
Looks like the One S doesn't support 5ghz Wireless. Bit of a bummer really.. Ive had this 5ghz router 6 months, I dont own a single thing what supports it lol
Sometimes (maybe always?) when you enable 5Ghz 802.11n on a wireless router/access point it will be as a separate SSID and you have to set it up with security etc. This is the case with Netgear WNDR3700 (DD-WRT) at least.
My HTC One S just died on me and somehow I can't turn it on again. I was just playing GLWG and it got really hot, then left it for a minute, the screen turned out and when I turned it on again, the screen was strange, so I tried to restart it by long pressing the power button. It turned off and now it only blinks five times when I try to turn it on. Somebody got an Idea?

Hi,
I have seen this with other phones.
Try taking the battery out and leave it twenty minutes ,then try again.
A very good day to everyone.
I have been using my HTC Sensation for a year and a half already and recently it's starting to crank up.
It started last week when I was using my phone when suddenly it just switched off by itself and no matter how I attempted to switch it back on again it would boot up to the lock screen page and baam, it shuts off again. It doesn't restarts by itself or anything, it just simply switches off and no, I am unable to switch it on again. The only time I am able to do so again is when I plug it into a power source, that is when it would finally be able to start up.
At first I thought that it wasn't something big until recently it started occuring more frequently and I noticed that it only occurs whenever I have my 3G switched on. If I'm plugged in, my phone would still be working without switching off even though I have my 3G switched on. But when I unplug it from its power source, I'll be able to use it with 3G on for a good 20-30mins or even lesser at times and there it goes shutting off by itself again. What actually got me dumbfounded is how I can be having 80% of battery power when this happens.
I have tried the using a card/paper as a wedge for the battery so that it connects better but to no avail even though I have noticed that indeed, my battery seems to have some extra allowance for it to fidget about within the confinements of the spot which is allocated for the battery. I have tried the switching the phone's data usage to GSM only as well as switching it to WCDMA only but both still didn't work. I have also done a factory wipe which didn't work, super wiped it before flashing ARHD once again which didn't work as well.
To make things worse, my phone is not covered under warranty anymore and my only last hope is that the problem lies with my phone's battery rather than the PCB board which is why I'm putting all my hope on the Anker battery which stocks would only come in next Monday which I don't wanna spend on only to find out that it's not gonna be able to save my phone from its miserable plight...
This is my phone's setup:
Android Version 4.0.3
Sense Version 3.6
Software Number - Android Revolution HD 6.8.0 XE by mik1986
Kernel Version - 3.0.16-g31a4fc7 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version - 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
I'm really desperate to find a solution to this so if there's anyone of you who has faced this issue/solved this issue please enlighten me as to what I can do, any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
Try other Roms..yrs might be unstable...

I've tried other ROMS already but it still force shuts itself whenever my phone's 3G is switched on. Any solutions?
seems like a radio problem ..reflash the firmware you are having or ..flash 3.33/3.32 universal firmware from kohr-ah firmware thread in sensation development section
once done ..get getril app ..open it and flash proper ril for the firmware if you not having matching ril
I've been using the 3.33 firmware for quite a while already but it's still not working. :/

I'd add to that to reflash it using a fresh download of the firmware file. It's possible (though slightly unlikely) that you have a tiny corruption of your existing firmware file so reflashing it might just put the same error back. I say that's unlikely because errors in the radio file of firmware would likely be causing you bigger problems than you are saying. But a new download and fresh flash won't hurt.
Or try switching to the 3.32 firmware (They aren't much different) just to see if it makes a difference. If not you can at least rule that out.
Just a head's up though, after you flash a new firmware file, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik or you will likely just get a bootloop at the boot animation when trying to start it the first time.
I had the same problem - the battery was broken, had to buy a new one, search for "Anker" on amazon
It would help a lot of we had your last_kmsg file. To get the file, you can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.solarnz.apps.lumberjack. Get the last_kmsg file RIGHT AFTER your phone shuts down and turns back on so we can see what made it shut down. Then, attach the file to your first post so we can see it

My situation is identical to yours. 1,5 years old, constantly rebooting, after reboot the battery power drops to 4%. If it's connected to the power cord it works normally. Already ordered Anker battery and I'll see what happens.
If I look closely, I can see that my battery is a little bloated and not completely flat. Did anybody else noticed that?
So I guess all of this should be written on HTC Sensation FAQ page since it's not a bug, but a feature...
Hey everyone, I wanted to post this in the Hyperdrive RLS7 thread but I couldn't... I have been using this site for years but have never had to post anything as I can usually find my answer if I have a problem.
Anyway, I recently installed the RLS7 ROM and have been having a weird battery percentage display issue, my battery charges and dies normally but it basically thinks that 20% is 0%. If I charge it all the way, it will die at the normal rate but when it gets into the 30-20% range, it will show a percentage drop slower than normal and then die right when it hits 20%. If I charge it from dead, it will start at 1% and go up pretty normally(maybe a little slower than normal), but if I unplug it at any time before 20%, it will show that percentage until it dies i.e. if I unplug it at 15%, it will show 15% and not change until it's dead.
I have tried wiping batt stats, doing the adrenaline shot (which also wipes batt stats), and reinstalling the ROM, but nothing has fixed it, and it only started happening with this ROM. I was running cleanROM before beautifully, but I am enjoying this overclock and extras too much to go back
Anyone got anything for me?

So any ideas anyone?
What kernal are u using? Try wiping everything, cache(twice),davlik cache(twice), and wipe system(twice) then reinstall the rom, but don't use the same downloaded rrom u have on ur SD card. Download it again. When u reinstall use the stock kernal and see if the problem clears. I'm using the same rom. I will try to help as Much as I can.

Currently running the Deviant kernel. The stock kernel isn't overclockable with this ROM correct?
I will start downloading the ROM again and flash it tonight.

Its not, but lets try to just isolate the main problem. Deviants kernal has a pretty big following. Alot of people have had great success with it. I haven't, I use faux123 mainline kernal. Each phone handles kernals and custom rom's in their own way. If ur phone accepts the rom and ur problems disappears then it would have either been the kernal or maybe a bad download.

Okay so here's where I'm at.
Battery display was going down normally until 23% and then stuck on that number. Plugged it into my computer to transfer the ROM, and kept it on the charger while I was reflashing since I don't know what "23%" really is. Picked the stock kernel, rebooted, when it got to the home screen it said 22%. Unplugged it, let it sit for 5-10 min with the screen on and it didn't move. Since I figured that didn't solve it and I was already in the percentage area where I would be able to tell if it fixed, I tried flashing the faux123 kernel. After it booted back up, it showed 21%. Let it sit for another 5-10 min. Finally it went to 20%, and right after that I watched the screen start to flicker and it died.

Damn ur android is really uptight, lets try to revert back to stock and see if ur battery problem is still there. Do u have a stock image without root to flash?

I would like to avoid that if I can, but I will flash stock if I must. I never had this problem with cleanROM though so I think I might try flashing that again first.
Is it at all possible that my battery is just shot and it's simply dying where 20% of the battery actually is?

Try fully wiping your phone. Factory Reset, Cache Dalvik and wipe system a couple times. Then flash the rom and id recommend stock or lean kernel if you phone doesnt like custom kernels. Let it settle in for a day or 2 and see if you get the same problems.
I posted a link in the hyperdrive thread and I've asked the good people of hyperdrive to check it out. So they should see ur question. Hopefully we can help u get this problem resolved.

Cool thanks. My battery seems to be draining normally so far today, but that is how it has seemed the last couple days until it gets to 23ish. But I'm gonna let it drain throughout the day again and see what it does around 20% and if it doesn't change then I will factory reset and everything and maybe try cleanROM, although I'd rather stick with this one.
Will also try to use my buddies battery and see what that does.

I had this issue also and seemed to have fixed it. One thing you may notice is that when you get down to 23%, if you turn the phone off, take out the battery, then put it back and reboot, your battery guage will start showing the correct number and reduce normally. Unfortunately, the problem will happen again upon the next charge.
To fix the issue, I did the following:
1) With the phone on, charge to 100%
2) Once the phone is at 100% (charging light turns from red to green), bump charge it (e.g. unplug it and plug it back in). Even though the gauge reads 100%, the light will be red and the text on the lockscreen will say "charging".....wait until it says "charged" and the light turns green.
3) Repeat #2 until the phone switches from "charging" to "charged" within 10 seconds or so.
4) Turn the phone off, remove the battery, and let it sit for 30 seconds.
5) Put the battery back in and wait for the charging process to begin with the phone powered off.
6) Continue the bump charging process again with the phone off until it takes ~10-15 seconds for the phone to switch from charging to charged (red light to green light).
7) Boot the phone up and continue to use it normally.
I realize bump charging may be frowned upon and doing it routinely will ruin the battery.....however, doing it once like this will not hurt the battery and essentially just recalibrates how the phone gauges the battery. You phone may appear to slightly use more battery after doing this process but in reality is it not. It is properly normalizing over the full life of charge rather than from 100-23%. You should see your phone drop below 23% during normal usage now.
Hopefully, this works for you. It did work for me.

There are two possibilities, either battery calibration is off or the battery is dying. Dying battery behaves exactly like yours. Going slowly to a certain charge level then dying off.
For calibration, I've never found a lot of bump charging to help much. Generally one charge with phone on, turn off, charge with phone off, go to recovery and clear battery stats.
Okay I tried bump charging it over and over for like an hour trying to get the "charged" time down to 10 seconds, but the fastest it ever got down to was 30 sec and it was pretty random, like after I got it down to that it went back up to taking 1 min, 1.5, sometimes 2 min at different times. After the last time I got it down to about 30 sec, I turned the phone off and bump charged it while off. Same thing happened, sometimes 2 min sometimes 30 sec but never within your listed tolerance. After that i booted to recovery and wiped the stats and turned it on so I'm gonna run it through the cycle and see what happens.

I'm running ViperXL 3.2.8 and I'm sure the rom has nothing to do with my battery draining really fast. For instance I charged my phone last night to 100% but after doing a road trip today, it literally drained down to 14% before I shut it off. My problem is I live in a rural area and when I travel through the curvy roads, my phone loses the signal. Is there a way for me to turn off something for it not to try to re-connect to a signal when I know it will not find a signal. I think airplane mode will work but I am not sure, can anyone suggest something for me. At home I can always use my wifi to get a signal but will that drain my battery?

You can try just turning mobile data off, that should conserve battery. You can even have a toggle within the quick settings so you can quickly toggle it on and off within the pull down menu
I'm in the same boat as you lol. 15 minutes out from any direction with no signal. Airplane mode works perfectly for me.

Thanks for the info. My next question is probably a dumb question but since I'm a noob I might as well try it. I know that Elemental X and Bulletproof can improve battery life, is there anything out there that can improve signal strength or does it not exist? Which of the 2 kernels would you recommend, I know Elemental X needs to have Hboot off to install.
Kernels will not improve signal. Only radio firmware can and there's no set best radio either. Its reliant on carrier, location and hardware.
You can flash different radios and check signal levels and data speeds until you find the best one.
I believe S-off is required to flash radios.

I still keep the data on, my "fix" is to turn off autosync (toggle on the screen) to turn it back on at home on wifi. This way I can still use mobile data for Skype or kik messenger.

Turning off autosync won't fix his problem though, the problem is that in a low/no signal area the radio is working too hard to connect and therefore draining battery.

Well I went ahead and installed ElementalX and I see a big improvement in performance and battery life from it. It did improve the signal a bit and it does work better at my home. On the curvy roads I just turn off the data because I might as well conserve the battery than to have it trying to connect to a signal that is not there, thus draining my battery.

A radio that works well for one user won't necessarily work well for another user. It all depends on where you are among other factors. The best thing to do is flash a few radios, note their signal strength (not the bars, the actual strength displayed in settings/about phone/network) and performance, and settle with the best one.

Since I just installed ElementalX, I think I will hold off on installing a new radio. Then I will decide if I still need a new radio, I have noticed a little more signal strength and extended battery life since I installed it. Thanks for all your help.
