hey im using leedroid v1.3 and the battery life on my phone is horrendous, i left the house at 11am this morning with 98 percent and after a 10 minute phone call i had 75 percent battery by 12 oclock. do you guys have any tips or things i can flash to get the phone through a day and a half or even 2 days somehow?
also having an issue with the speakerphone, its the lowest volume of any phone i think ive ever owned, ive got to put the phone to my head, so its basically like making a call but using the back as an earpiece. thanks for the help.
I'm having the same problem with my phone, on any rom. According to CurrentWidget, the Ma being used by my phone will not drop below 150, even while idling. I'm starting to believe that my battery is faulty.
Are u guys calibrating the battety?

I thought I was, but apparently I'm not. Can you point me in the right direction?
Download the battery calibration app from the market. Charge to full run the app calibrate.....drain than calibrate again and you should be fine.

Upgraded to v2 and ran the battery calibrator. Phone finally lasts a day. Thanks. Am I supposed to run the calibrator at like 10% or should I let it die and run it after a 100% charge?
Battery calibration + managing screen brightness massively increases battery life. You need root to be able to clear battery stats, right?

I believe the calibration tools want you to use them at 100% charge. I got a chichitec 1900mA/Hr battery, calibrated (i guess it is now) and my phone went for more than 24 hours before hitting the 49% mark. This was with light use (checking email, checking web forums, playing some Angry Birds, and making some phone calls) but still a HUGE difference from the stock battery. Also, I turn off data connection via quick settings when I am at home. I do turn on wifi though while at home. Calibration ought to help out big time, as these phones are reporting a dead battery long before it is really dead.
Also, dont pay attention to the current battery monitor's report for standby current. It isnt accurate.

That's the one reason I keep going back to the stock setup I just seem to get better battery life out of is than any of the custom ones I've tried. I've only tried a couple. Has anyone found a ROM that gets better battery life than stock?
I have a known issue.. but with a twist
When.my battery is showing that there is like 90% left. After a while and I reboot, there is only 4% left. That's a.known issue. But here is twist. If I reboot again, its back to 80% orso. And when I do.another reboot there is 75% remaining..
Another reboot shows 74% and so on
I'm sorry if this a known issue.. i don't have much time to search things while I'm working 45h a week.
Anyone knows a.solution for this?
I wiped battery stats. Discharged a few times and the.HTC trick.. non of these work
additional info.
stock battery
HB 1.23
ICS ARHD 6.0.3 before IC and VS
stock kernel
happening for like 2 weeks now

i dont think you can do anything about it. people say that turning off the device instead of restarting helps. i also have battery jumps but not nearly as extreme as yours. maybe ~5-10% jump. if its a drop jump then it will stay there until the real percentage reaches that said level, if its higher then it will drop quickly to the real percentage. from my experience that is, not a big deal

I know that 10-15% drops are normal.
but a drop of 70% is a bit odd.
Its not very serious but its quite anoying, i think its affecting my battery life
Try flashing the battery fix. It helped me out. I had same problem but not so radical.

Use your phone for a while without changing roms or clearing stats, don't charge until your battery is totally dead then don't take of charge until it is totally full, once full turn off and charge till light green, then back on and charge till green then repeat till you feel confident that your battery us full, then go through full discharge and repeat it will settle down but patience us required, remember stay with 1 rom radio and kernel without clearing anything for at least 4 days

My desire s battery drops from 100% to ~15% after about an hour of surfing with edge mobile network.(with different roms) And my friend tell me that this is unusual. I have tried calibrate the battery with the battery calibrate app and it didn't help . It's there anyway to solve this such as flashing baseband?
Thanks for helping.

first open battery usage and investigate which app eat a lot of power.
sometimes just restart the phone will clear out the issue.
The app which eat many power is the browser but I have tried other browsers too but same problem happened.
I have restarted and flashed tons of times and ROMs but same happened.

- which rom are you using? official or custom ?
- try to restart phone, donot open any browser and see if the battery still drain?
I tried cm stable, miui stable , HTC sense ROMs. It only drain when I surf with my edge mobile network. If I use WiFi its normally draining , about two to three hours.

with the same radio? or different?
if the same radio, try to flash another one
if problem with different radio, may be bad coverage in your location?
Try to move to another place with good coverage and give it a try
As i remember i never flashed the radio. Can u suggest which radio should i use?
Does baseband affect the battery life? If yes l, which baseband should I flash? Thx

Should I flash the latest one or it should be flashed refer to the rom?
And thx for helping

Can we use that if i'm using hboot 2.00.002?
- firstly check to see what radio version are you using now?
- make sure your phone was rooted when calibrate battery. Is it rooted?
serious battery problem
OK, I have a serious problem. I updated official RUU, and my phone is running smooth. Battery lasts 1-2 days, everything is working fine. But last night battery was on 17% and I put it to charge at 12pm, woke up at 6am and it was on 33%. I'm charging it right now and it's up to 41% then drops to 39% and so on. Tried another charger - same thing. It won't charge! No new apps, no new settings, battery stats shows the same power use,.... Battery health is good, Auto sync is off,.... I have Go Power Master, Juice Defender, shows no problems. 3G is off, it's on GSM only, Wi-Fi is off, GPS is off and so on, my phone is fully optimised and this happened last night. I charged it while off and now it's on 37%! So I guess it's not a software issue. Anybody has an answer or a clue what could be the problem, please? Is my battery dead (year of use)? Thanks in advance.
try to restart your phone?
Tried that. I'm currently charging it power off, turned it on and it's still draining. While it's off!
i guess it's battery problem. Borrow another battery from your friend and try again.
Well, it was a strange thing... I've noticed that GO Power Master is killing like 25 apps and prolonging time for some 2 and a half hours when you hit optimise button every 2 minutes. So some apps are running in the back and draining the battery. So I uninstalled some of them (clock widget, Noom, Zoner antivirus,...) and restarted phone and by the end of the day it was all stabilised like before. I don't know what happened. I'm still testing it but I've managed to charge it to 100% and there was no drain over night. We'll see.

maybe you should look at this man..http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Noom
I have a S2 and every day, at 20:00 the phone starts a process and gets very hot and also drains the battery.
I discover that if I freeze the Noom app, it doesn't happen.
So, I blame noom for your draining issues and mine.
Does anybody else having this problem?
Regards
I didn't had a problem since uninstall, but it happened again later, I think it was from Firefox. While it was on charger, I got popup note saying something like "phone is using more than current can deliver, try to kill some apps or turn phone off while charging." First time I see that note. Probably because it was on Sense, not on launcher. I've noticed that Firefox is using a lot of memory, uninstalled it and it was all normal like before.

I had this problem, but svery time it was solved with rebooting. It showed normal percentage. I think, you just need to reboot device sometimes, may be once in two days. I suppose to think the couse of ghis problem is a kernel) it can be engaged with not an exact process, so battery drains. Try to change kernel, or rom, or battery)

This is an HTC problem. I have no clue why, but for some reasons the stats on their phones never report properly after having a custom ROM. I used to have an HTC Desire, then a GSII, now a Sensation. I noticed the stats were always off with my Desire, they were fine with my GSII, fine with a stock One X then with my Sensation I get the some terribly reported battery stats again. It is just something I have gotten used to.
Someone with more technical knowledge can explain better why it does that. But with the Desire it was a known issue which no one knew how to fix. Or the resources to fix it are just missing.
fix for battery stats and reboots
hey guys i had the same prob. was running viper 1.4.1 phone was rebooting and was geting crazy battery stats. i was reading a post about the the grounding pins on the back of the phone they touch the battery cover. pull those pins out ever so just for good contact with the cover but be gentle. i have done this and had no probs so far hope this helps let me know how u get on.
Have you checked to see if your getting a wake lock? You can download better battery stats and it will detect any wake lock you might be having and identify the offending app So you can stop the wake lock. Give it a try I think it might help. You can download better battery stats from here on xda, and read about bad and good wake locks. It's very informative. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.

I'm also getting these kind of issues on my Sensation.
Try fully discharging and recharging the battery twice. It used to help with laptop batteries.
Hey there guys I got the HTC Sensation 4g with a brand me Anker 1900 mAh battery which seems to do pretty good job but a few days ago I flashed TouchCream 2.1 Rom with the latest Faux123 kernel, everything is good with this but my battery has a weird issue It stays on 100% for about 2hours and than starts to drop rapidly even without use, I did a bettery calibration after a whole night of charge the battery was at 4212mV but even after this the issue is there, stays at 100% for 2hours and than drops rapidly... any advices on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Check TouchCream 2.1 thread to see if anyone had/has such issue(s). I'd say try a new ROM and see if that persist. If it does, re-calibrate. If issue is not solved, the problem is the battery then I suppose.
Enjoy!
thank you
