After a while it goes back to normal.
Had you also recently flashed the custom FP1 kernel? It does start out draining rather quickly(keep in mind usually more time is spent setting things back up and playing with new features also) but after about a week things should return to normal. I think I've gotten slightly better battery life now but YMMV.
Started first with the fp1 pjb but i had issues so figured id try just takin the official update n flashin tweaked. Guess ill just see how things go in the next week or so.

Tweaked 2.0 + Zeam = best battery life I've had on this phone since purchasing it.
I took my phone off of the charger at 6:50 AM yesterday morning, and at 11:00 PM, I still had around 25% left.
I was concerned at first because my battery was draining super fast (literally about 5x faster) when I first updated. I think that that was because of Go Launcher, though, and I haven't had a single battery issue since uninstalling it.
I found battery life to be better with the FP1 kernel. Even better with the custom FP1 kernel

Stupid custom FP1 kernel. After more careful scrutiny the stock FP1 kernel is where it is at for me.

I am running Infused 1.5.3 right now and was wondering if I would get better battery life running a custom kernel like Defused, Infusion Kernel 1.8, or Bionix. I just flashed my phone and am new to the Android and Infuse community. I am coming from a iPhone. Your opinions would be helpful. I am trying to figure out why my battery life kinda sucks right now and I am looking into a custom kernel. Which kernel you guys using?

If you install Infusion 1.8 and undervolt without overclocking, it will improve things somewhat.
If it's still bad, uninstall all apps, then install them one by one until you figure out which one is hosing your battery life.
The kernal that came with the infused is working just fine with me. The defuse gave me horrible battery life. But yeah, take entropy advice.

ok so i got my charge 2 days ago and am rooted with Gingerbread leak,
so i have some questions.
First: is there roms for gingerbread? because i couldn't find any.
Second: what kernels are there for GB? can i use PBJ?
Third: now ever since i got the phone it drains batter pretty quick with everything off. and hardly using it maybe about 20% per hour. i tried undervolting with Setcpu but wasn't successful, so what app do you guys recommend to undervolt the charge? or any guides to do so?
thanks,
Check out the development section. Gummy Charged GBE is great

I did, thanks for the reply. now i have voodoo and on the recovery sais enable 100mhv something like that. is that so i would get more battery?
You can't undervolt on gb because its a leak meaning no kernel source.
I think setcpu will let you underclock which would give better battery life but reduce performance considerably.

Whenever you change roms, you should calibrate your battery. It works wonders

You need to return to stock, then fresh Odin GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2.3 if you want Gingerbread as it's really the only modified Gingerbread rom. Eclipse is available, but i'm not sure if the dev still supports it or not. The quick battery drain is something that goes along with the fact Gingerbread is a leak. GummyCharged team has done a wonderful job with minimizing this drain. I have found it actually has better battery life than Froyo. That's just my personal experience.
Which one would have the best battery life? Or if it's a multi-step process (pick a certain rom then change kernals or something) could you link me/tell me also ?
I'm using Octane v2, and it worked good for the first day, but now it's draining my battery so quickly, even after the battery calibration. I'll lose 2% battery while watching a video for a minute or two.
airfluip1's KJ6 AOSP Style
I haven't done much testing but for the last few days I've been using airfluip1's KJ6 AOSP Style and the phone's battery just died after being off the charger since late Sunday. That's almost two days of juice on one charge.
I also have had excellent battery life with the MIUI ROM variants around the forum, but they are still works in progress and aren't feature-complete yet.

I don't think battery life will differ much between the roms we currently have available, as they all have a stock kernel.
Though under-clocking and juice defender work well for me, I am a heavy user, I've not been able to get more then 14 hours of use.

Just changed my phone over from Gingerbread 21a to Gingerbread 21b. This seems like a massive improvement over 21a. Much less hassle with data connections dropping out and a really good difference in battery life. I know I can't root it yet but to be honest the phones so much better I'm not that bothered.
Happy for now, Pete

Can you post the link to the file? Adixtra's link doesn't work...

Im really hoping someone finds a root for this soon. Ive tried everything i can find and no luck. Arent some of the roms here based on 21b, arent they rooted?

they can just pull /system from the phone still. That doesn't require root.
I'm using the stock 21b from adixtras post....I've had the phone 6 months and the battery is now better than it has EVER been! If you want better battery life AND better phone connections get 21b it's wicked!

There is a rom that comes rooted with v21b. I haven't tried it though.

Ive got rooted v21b. just a suggestion: If you try that rom above, install it on a rooted v21a based rom with CWM. Woala rooted v21b
But what is the battery life like on these 21a/21b hybrid roms? Some say rushdroid still has battery issues. I'm telling you straight the battery life on stock 21b is UNREAL. after 18 hours I've still got 40% charge left! I have not had to use a spare battery yet, that's amazing! I usually have to change batteries after 8-12 hours, but not now.

Actually I installed PowerMax + Fastreboot + SetCPU, and with moderate useage (all the time BT is on cuz of music listening) it lasts for ~27-30 hours incl. sleeping hours
In overall im pretty much satisfied with my current setup, but if you got an idea which would increase the performance (battery & system) its always welcome
Bertram
Over 36 hours from a single charge to 15% left "warning" with my usual amount of daily usage. I've never had better battery life from this phone. I have the display about 25% and "koi live wallpaper" running all the time. No app killers and no "battery saver" apps running. I do still get an occasional data "hang" and have to reboot but it is far less of a problem than it was on 21a. If you are getting a "your phone is on the latest software" message look at adixtras post in the android development section of this forum. He has the files, tools and info to load this onto your phone in the first post.

Acura rom V7.1 is based on mix between v21a/21b I used it for some time but now I am back to Thiaiz because with time Acura becomes to slow and it shows plenty of lags. Everythomg about acura you can see on acura thread.
Hey xda, Ive got this rarely used g2x. Don't even got a simcard for mainly using it for fun I guess but I am gonna get it in service soon. Thing is I am getting terrible battery life on all recent roms, eb gb and ics and Hellfire gb and ics, I got stock battery, even with kernals my battery's terrible, looking for reccomended roms and kernals and any tricks/mods to improve battery life, and remember this is even without any data usage and am still getting this amount of battery life.

Should I use Hellfire or eb gb, I've heard that eb is better but hellfire's gb was updated more recently, and which suggested kernal to go with it. I understand that it all depends in your phone but what in.your experience / opinion is the best combo.

The rom I'm using right now is Eaglesblood build 2.8 which is GB 2.3.7. I get pretty decent battery life just using the kernal that is built into it normally. I was having a few problems with HFP 2.1 so I switched to this and haven't looked back. Even though it isn't the most recent I still feel like its the best, just my opinion though.
I have got the best battery life so far with Eagles blood GB as well. HFS v1.5 is giving me ok battery life but EGB gave me double time as this ROM

Try them out, read the threads to see common issues and things that work well. Stop asking everyone here to do that little bit of work for you.
XDA is not your personal slave, we should not, and will not spoon feed you. Look around, spend more then 2 minutes looking at the first post. If you put in a good effort, people will be willing to help you, but just constantly asking for which ROM is just lazy.
You did not answer the question of whether you put the phone in airplane mode, you have not said any of the ROMs you've tried (other than all of them, which I doubt). At least pretend to give a ****...
Search!!!! there are tons of threads on how to increase battery life
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
? I don't think you give a **** because if you read my post you would of known that I'd have tried eb ics and gb, and hellfire ics and gb rom, and i've actually spent hours reading pages in the roms topic and other places, and I forgot to answer that question, my answer is no I don't even have a simcard in the phone for it to be searching for service and enabling it would stop wifi which is what I do use.
You can put the phone into Airplane mode and then enable WiFi. Even though you don't have a Sim install it can still try to search for a network and drain the battery. It will need a network without a Sim to be able to call 911 if needed.

Just go back to the kernal you had before and it should be fine
@ctowne... I would love to know what you are doing that makes your battery life that good with a stock kernel. I'm running cm 7.0.2 and I've charged my phone a couple times through heavy use. I have cut a lot of the processes down and did all the troubleshooting to get better battery life and its still draining like **** during heavy ( or what I would call heavy) use

I don't think its necessarily the stock kernal. It's the one that is built in to Eaglesblood GB. Also try to follow this guide, it seemed to help my battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054420 I did get around 30 hours on that charge but it varies quite a bit depending on usage. I always get a full day of moderate use though. Try switching to Eaglesblood GB and follow that guide to 20 hour battery life and see if it helps. If not, your battery could just be old/bad. Hope this helps!
Yeah i tried the eaglesblood rom and wasn't too impressed. Im sure that it was good for performance, however i immediately missed the customization with cm7 (adw launcher) and the themes that came with it. after i have flashed the faux123 kernel on here with cm7, im happy to say my battery life is incredible. i fished all day yesterday and listened to music while texting a bit and making a few phone calls. was out for about 10 hours and had only used 40% of my battery. so for anyone looking for a good cm7 kernel, the faux has been the best i have found yet
