Hey guys,
So I'm running the latest TrickDroid for T-Mobile One S, so far I love it... Except that I HATE Sense. And I hate the Sense apps that replace stock Google apps. Flashing gapps doesn't kill them.
So I installed Go SMS and I actually really like it alot. The problem is, ever since I installed it, my battery has been dying really quickly.
I uploaded a screenshot of the battery usage and it says screen, but I can tell you that's strange because the screen settings are no different than before?
Could it be this new app is keeping the screen awake without it really being awake or something? Im going to try freezing the Go SMS app and see if that changes anything.

download an app like watchdog and use it to monitor apps that go over the cpu threshold, You can edit the threshold to suit you but i leave it as default.
My biggest battery consumer is the screen, But i still get close to 2 days
Amoled screens use a lot of power, thats the only disadvantage
Why don't you ask in the ROM thread? Or don't you like me? :O
I will release a new version soon anyway..
BTW, charge to 100% and make a reboot
Remove gosms and your battery should be back normal. I used gosms apps on my sg2 and it killed my battery

Does anyone else out there think that something in the root process causing the battery to drain? My friend got a captivate the same time I did and his is not rooted yet. He seems to get better performance than my rooted phone. For those out there unrooted how is your battery performance.

Usually my battery is dead after I used the screen for 3 to 3.5. That's with launcher pro and a dark non live wallpaper
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I have noticed no difference, but I didn't like launcher pro so I dumped it. I use the spinning galaxy wallpaper.
Rooting a device will not make it drain battery faster, its must be your device usage that makes the difrence against your freind's device.
So these issues are getting more frequent. Today I had to pull the battery twice. One time, the phone froze with the screen on. Just now, the network dropped out and when I went to restart it, it never restarted. Went to a lit black screen with the soft keys lit up.
What is going on here? Could these be caused by rooting?
I am running stock ROM, ADW EX, S-OFF, Alpharev version of CWM. Could setCPU be causing these issues? I think I will freeze it for a few days and see how things go....
Please help!

It's most likely setcpu, rooting and s-offing the phone wouldn't cause issues like that.

Okay, I froze it using Titanium Backup. Any chance this is something that could be fixed at a later time? I like the idea of being able to overclock and underclock.
I know everyone is loving cyanogen. Is CM7 to have overclocking, similar to setCPU?
Thanks for the quick reply!
Matt
Overclocking is done by the kernel and not the ROM. If you haven't installed a custom kernel yet, than having SetCPU on your phone isn't doing much for you. CM7 has introduced their own built in way to set your CPU clock speed although you will still need a separate custom kernel to get any kind of overclock. Be patient, development only really kicked off recentlybwhen we got S Off.

I keep reverting back to a sense based rom because I get a much quicker battery drain on any aosp rom I flash. It's close to half less battery life between charges. I always do a cach/davlik/factory reset prior and after flash.
Always in settings it shows my phone constantly waking up even when the screen is off.
Is this an aosp issue or something I'm doing?
I definitely like the aosp roms more but I have to get through the day with my phone.

What apps do you have installed?
Try getting rid of facebook if that's there. some apps cause wakelocks on cm10
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm letting my phone die completely and then doing a full charge. Then going to see how it drains from there.
CM based roms will always drain battery faster but turn off Facebook notification and background location reporting/Latitude location sharing in Google Maps because they cause wake locks. Battery life should increase, but still less than Sense based roms.
(For comparison sake, on days I would end around 60-65% battery life with Sense based roms, I end around 50ish% on AOKP)

I don't care about less battery... I just dont want to have the phone waking up constantly. That's been the issue with aosp roms so far.
Trying to get away from sense.

When I turn off background reporting... What will that affect? Weather location and things like that?

I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?
Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?
CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.
Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!

It isn't necessary to spam all the battery threads with the same question. One thread is enough.

Spam? I am new to this which means I don't necessary know how the whole system works, therefore I am trying to find the best answer I can. Sorry to see that's bothering some people.
Irritate the ones that have to go through these threads an your Chances diminish greatly.
Tis a sad day when being new allows for this spamming in ones mind.

when i was on ICS rom whether being cleanrom or viperxl i can get at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours of screen time. now with JB i am not getting that. i am using the same apps and widgets. right now i am using custom kernels(that is suppose to improve battery life). is JB using more battery than ICS?
i flash different roms cm10, aopk, miui, and sense base, and using different kernels. is it possible along the way something went wrong causing my battery to deteriorate?

I think I'm getting just as good battery life now as on ICS. ViperXL + undervolted elementalX.
I still have 29% left on that screenshot.
Try app called greenify from play store. I wasn't sure of it at first but it works great at keeping residual processing hogs like Facebook, Google maps, and anything else you chose in a frozen yet accessible state unlike titanium backups "freeze" which leaves it less accessible

i will give that app a try.
is one hour of game playing same as one hour of youtube? use same battery?
so i charge my phone this morning and it says 100% with green led light, then i restart the phone now it only shows 87%, so i shut off the phone to charge, took maybe 10 mins and it is back to 100%. any ideas??
Are you overclocking the custom kernel?
What radio? You might try the JB radio, as there might be a ROM/radio mismatch causing some extra battery drain.
i am using latest att JB radio with cleanrom 6. running vanilla elemental x 5.3, cpu set at 192/1350

Still not showing maps in the list. It shows all of the other apps fine though. Does maps have to be a user app instead of a system app?
