Battery life---Custom Roms - HTC Inspire 4G

Has anybody seen a good Rom to improve battery life for the Inspire 4g? I have had horrible battery life with this phone, and that is the main reason why it is now my backup-hacking phone..

..Because every phone is different.
Although I've had good luck with CM7 roms. I guess you should start flashing those, then work to others.

The redemption rom is pretty good on battery but since the I4G has a small battery to begin with I would suggest using a vanilla rom/aokp and turning off mobile data, wifi, etc when it's not needed

Battery life suckz. Stupid phone has screwed me over in NYC too many times to count.

I feel sorry for you guys. I don't know how you people use smartphones and can't figure out how to max your battery life. Turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and gps when you are not actively using them. Always on mobile data is a killer. Disable all push notifications. And the biggest one is set custom automatic brightness adjustment. I set mine manually most of the time because stock, particularly with sense, is way too high. Even in a pitch black room it won't dial the back light down to minimum.

From my experience, you could try the Virtuous rom with sense 3.5, it has pretty good battery life.

I've had my Inspire for a year and two months aprox., still with the stock battery. On GB the best battery life I had was on Virtuous Affinity 2.05, MIUI 2.4.20, and CM7.2 with LC's kernel. Also, IceColdSandwich 8.6.1 has given me a pretty good battery life. Yesterday I flashed JellyTime R12 and can't talk too much about this one. Always remember the basics, turn off stuff you are not using. And remember, every phone is different so the best way to know is to flash yourself and test for a few days.

This is the best I've gotten on aospx br7

I'm another user of aospx br7. It's an ics rom. Great rom been using it for a while now. No issuses.

Cleardroid with bd-ace kernel. Use setcpu to govern the performance. Easily +20 hours with moderate use.
Sent from my inspire 4g using xda app-developers app

I recently switched to Sabsa Prime 6.0 from ARHD 6.3.2 and battery life has a noticible improvement, as well as performance. Plus it's working ICS.

I don't know if it's my usage or what..None of the ROM gave me battery life of more than a day.Right now due to lot of chatting,i hardly get a day backup.
Used Existz's AOSPX,IceColdSandwich and now finally on Sabsa Prime v6.0
----------------
Device:Inspire 4G
ROM:Sabsa Prime v6.0
Kernel:virtuous_infinity-v1.35.0

I am a moderate to heavy user and I work in a poor coverage area. All roms I have used, FroYo, GB, ICS, AOSP or Sense, get me to lunch. I plug in while on my break and that will get me home. I never go anywhere without car and wall chargers. Use it how you want. With the size of the battery and the size of the display, you won't get a lot of use between charging.
Not just a pretty Pickle.

I'm sure most people have seen my results.
That's on CyanogenMod 7.0.2 with the LorDmod 4.4.2 VrIO kernel and Pinky Ultra Undervolt script. I've used CM7.0.3 and GingerBeast with various other LorDmod kernels and gotten very similar results, typically give or take a few hours.
Battery graphs without details are pretty pointless. Not hard to get a couple days out of it if you never use the phone.

No point in using wifi, I have GPS turned off as well. Minimal screen usage is my average usage but really, if someone can't figure out that a massive screen is the biggest battery hog on this thing then they should return it.
Can't screenshot ATM, but I have 91 percent battery remaining after 2 hrs and 50 mins. I have used the phone for texting all day so far (~80 messages while on battery) and my screen is consuming 74% of my battery, though nothing else is really running in the background. SetCPU 1017/245 with smartass governor is currently keeping my undervolted when asleep. My ROM is Inspired Ace by gtg465x running the latest stock ATT radio (Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M). I just ran the battery calibration listed here and am still working on eliminating the cpu intense processes as described.

LOL!!! Wow that is some awesome battery life you're getting on your GingerBeast ROM.
I think what dilli is trying to tell us is these types of threads have minimal value. Everyone uses their phone differently and the battery life is impacted greatly by this. If Joe Blow gets 3 days battery life out of SuperDuper v3.0 ROM paired up with the BestBatteryEver v2.5 kernel doesn't mean I will get anywhere near the same results.

If you turn off your wifi and screen, Then its just similar to keeping your PC on sleep mode.
At the end of the day, battery should last through the day if you dont have a charger within reach. Again depends on usage.

The display on my inspire is what murders my battery. I mean seriously, if it is pulling 70%+ of your total battery usage, how much life can you expect with screen on for games, videos, browsing, etc. 9 hrs and 5 mins and 76% left. I have my phone locked to 2g networks when not using data, btw. that seemed to help. screen has been on roughly 30% of this time as I lock when not in use (between texts, as I text my gf all day usually )
I bet most of the folks here didn't use a Captivate by any chance... Use it, and u'll love the battery here.

Yeah, I've been getting erratic battery behavior with mine. I don't have it rooted or anything but there will be days where the phone will be idol for 4 hours during work, and it'll be down to 60%.
I always keep the wifi off and syncing off too.
With all syncs on.WiFi on average use(20-30 mins Facebook per day, 10-20 emails, 10-20 text, a few calls,etc.)

[Q] Best battery life ROM?

What's the best ROM for battery life at the moment? I've been stock because of the various problems with nonofficial GB ROMs, it's probably the most functional, but one of the least stable.
What's a good ROM that has good battery life and is stable/functional? Or is good functionality going to be hit and miss for various people until official GB?
One other thing. The hell does AOSP mean?
I'm currently using juwe's smart edition (props to big fault for the port!) with a j2 modem and entropy's DD and my battery life is amazing
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
How's the functionality?
So far on all GB ROMs I've tried something that almost everyone uses doesn't work, and some apps force close, and there's other problems...
Nothing wrong with gb roms based on Rogers gb, except for HDMI not working, but who uses that anyway? I'm on infused 2.2.3 right now, I get about a day and a half of moderate use. There are really only bugs with miui., cm7, and any hellraised roms... infused or any of the leaks are fine.
AOSP = android open source project.

Now now, it isn't a dumb question. Roms like miui are going to have worse battery life because of the complexity, where stock based will have less battery drain. It comes down to trying it yourself, but asking for a little advice isn't a problem...

I had perfect batt life on miui when i wanted it. The only answer to the question is to try it yourself. Someone says this roms batt life is amazing and you flash it and hate the rom then youre back at square one. Answer is really simple....TEST ROMS OUT AND FIND WHAT YOU LIKE!

Yea there are a lot of minor setbacks, but there are few to no roms specifically for the infuse...I haven't tried cm7 or miui yet but I've tried most of the stock based roms and juwe's smart edition has had the best overall performance (with the help of a couple other tweaks). Just do what I did and play around with a couple things; its tedious but fun at the same time and you learn a lot along the way

Horrible Battery even with Seidio Ext. Battery *ROOTED*

I know this is one of those things that everyone seems to complain about, but there is definitely something going on here. I have Seidios 3200 MAH extended battery for my ROOTED bolt, yet my friend running the same ROM as me is getting almost double the battery life with a stock battery. I know the first thing to check is if any apps are killing my battery, which I have checked through thoroughly with no luck. I have tried uninstalling these apps with no luck on better battery life. If it helps I'll post the apps I have
- Beautiful Widgets
- Brilliant Quotes Free
- Days left widget
- Draw Something Free
- Engadget
- Facebook
- iHeart Radio
- Instagram
- Twitter
- Yahoo Mail
- Ringdroid
- Root Explorer
- WeatherBug
- XDA
- Zedge
This of course doesnt include the stock apps on the ROM.
Currently running the Plan 9 ROM, if anybody has any tips for getting the battery up to par I would be very grateful!
EDIT: Forgot to mention how long my battery is lasting me. I'm getting about 8 hours before she is sucked dry

Actually it's called "Plan .9" Its only been out for a few days and it's a very very minimal sense ROM. It's missing alot of the sense features as to make the battery better, some people are getting up to 3 days while on it. And the developer is very responsive so far with adding sense widgets and squashing bugs. here is the link...

Yea the Chinese are getting into making bogus crap and selling it in bulk to people on eBay and other places. My stepdad bought a bunch of bnib usb flash drives on eBay claiming to be 200gb and none of them worked. They were some of the best fakes I have ever seen. They were in packing identical to the actual product.

I bought my battery directly from Seidio, don't think its a Chinese scam. But Something is definitely eating my battery, although the battery usage is showing my display as the main culprit.

You're showing 5 hours and you are only at 56%. That would mean you have around 5 more hours. It looks like you made some serious phone calls which would eat up a lot of battery too. I don't know if you use auto brightness but it can help if you disable it and set it at the lowest possible setting you can stand. Another thing you might look into is the Facebook app. It was causing a wake lock on my phone so I removed it and that helped me a lot.

If its a sense rom, try imo 5.2 kernel for sense. Use setcpu for a screen off profile of 245/386. If its desensed alot, you can probably get away with underclocking it to 768. Brightness is huge batt hog, set as low as possible. I have as few things syncing as possible also. Interesting looking rom, i will try it out with my stock battery and let you know.

Ok, its loaded. Fastest booting rom ive had. I did try ziggys 11:05 kernel first, did not overclock, but did set screen off profile. This thing flys, and i havent played much with it yet. Ill let u know more tomorrow.

the best battery life ive ever gotten was from the full blown MR4 rom with the stock MR4 kernel and the MR4 radio
people say that the MR4 Kernel slows the bandwidth down somehow and maybe it does but its awesome on battery life
Thats the thing, I only spent about 15 minutes total throughout the day on the phone so it seems like its eating much more battery than usual. Maybe I'll try a new kernel and see how that pans out.

Id guess its your widgets, im completly stock besides ziggys kernel. Tomorrow ill try the imo kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I'd try to turn off widgets, but also turn off all background running apps.
Seal is a good program to keep apps from turning on imo. I use it to limit usage - on most Roms I get almost 30 hrs of battery life. (Extended battery).
Good trick - overnight I use Airplane Mode and my battery drops at most 5% for 10 hrs.

ROM for best battery life

I just got the Samsung Galaxy s3 the other day and I am impressed. I was coming from an iPhone 4. Only thing I don't like is the battery life. So far I've flashed synergy 1.7, beans build 8, and Scotts cleanrom. Synergy seems to be the best on battery life, but I just want to know what others think. Also, I am running IMO lean kernel .01 on all of them at stock speeds. Not over clocked. Just wanting opinions.
Try synergy 1.3, best rom with excellent battery life
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
There really is no best rom, it's all about user preference and exactly what you do with your phone. Try them each out for a week to weigh the pros/cons (or in your case scope out the battery life), then go with the one that you like best.

Thanks for the info but I've done that. They all seem the same. I think my real concern is the kernel. I like Scotts cleanrom but I wanna know which kernel is recommended for battery and performance
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
All the ROMs do a pretty good job. If battery life is your #1 concern and nothing else matters:
1. keep screen brightness on minimum. Screen filter can reduce brightness even more.
2. If you use wifi, set it to sleep unless charging.
3. Don't use 4g. Use 3g only.
4. Disable syncing or data entirely and only manually sync when you need to. (Something like JuiceDefender can automate this)
5. Disable google backup.
6. Disable GPS and verizon/google location services.
7. Disable bluetooth.
8. Check and eliminate all wakelocks using betterbattery stats.
9. Turn off all haptic feedback.
10. Freeze all Samsung and Verizon related services using titanium Backup.
11. Maybe a mild underclock on your kernel.
At this point, you will get great battery on your dumbphone with a giant screen
Haha thanks man. Yeah I'm just stupud about battery. I pay attention to it too much. I'll do all that. Stupid giant screen indeed

I was having horrific battery on 1.7 with IMO's 0.1 beta. I completely wiped and reinstalled 1.7 on stock kernel, let my battery completely die and charged it up last night. Today I am at 90% after 3.5 hours unplugged listening to pod casts the whole time and texting and reddit app. Yesterday I was at 78% doing much less and unplugged for less time. I think when updating to new ROMs its important to do a full wipe and make sure if you use TiBu don't restore any system data. I don't have anything frozen as well
I'm getting almost 24 hours with about 2 hours of screen time, so much better coming from a Galaxy Nexus

What are wakelocks and how would I go about doing that? Which services are safe to freeze?
hey guys i just got an s3 and im new to this ad understand there more roms. what is currently the rom with the best battery life? I use my phone quite heavily with power saver mode on and it still doesn't last me a whole day. im on stock and still have to root. cheers
most roms are same across the board.. I would recc. synergy as is w/ziggy kernel. turn off 4g/sync/gps when not using it. :good:

Battery life after root

So I rooted and have synergy 1.7 flashed and I notice battery life is not even close to as good as stock. Watching the battery bar drop reminds me of my galaxy nexus. Is it the Rom or what?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
it's not the rom. I've been unplugged for 6.5 hours, with pod casts playing constantly some texts and internet and have 86% left. Try wiping all data, cache, dalvik and put it through a full battery cycle, let it die and charge it 100%, it will get better
Yeah I wiped cache and data slowed way down all better now

Yeah I've been wondering about battery life after installing a custom rom. I had a nexus as well before an using roms just killed my battery. Only time I got decent battery life was on stock roms. I've been hesitant on flashing a custom rom for this reason.

This doesn't improve battery life, it only fixes how much cell standby is reported
Does my battery chart look normal or not?

In my opinion bars from right chart are not corresponding to % used on a left side.
For example Screen On reflects that it was On almost all the time but Screen % is only 27.
Plus not sure why do you have black gap in a middle of a graph.
I tried cleanRom and my battery life is normal again. The black gap is hotboot under the restart menu

I was getting awesome battery life with CleanROM, but for some reason I kept losing 3G. I reverted back to stock, unlocked my bootloader, and now I'm just waiting for something epic to flash.

Synergy 1.7 has been known to have battery issues. Its being looked into
Ok so yesterday I was getting great battery life flash new version of clean Rom this morning it's not as good and there where no performance tweaks to the new version. It seems that first battery cycle after flashing new Rom is always lower. Is that normal?
He're was last battery cycle

You are using the hell out of it and on 4G, that is normal.
I had wacky battery life on CM10 until I charged it, powered it off, and removed the battery for 10 secs, then inserted and booted up.
Something about calibration?

So I rooted and have synergy 1.7 flashed and I notice battery life is not even close to as good as stock. Watching the battery bar drop reminds me of my galaxy nexus. Is it the Rom or what?

I am on v1.7 and the thing that helped me get more battery life out of this version of the ROM was to turn off Google NOW. I did this by hitting the mic in the google search bar, go into Setting and turn off google now. Incidentally the voice search functionality still works; when I try something like "What year was Albert Einstein born?", the robotic voice gives me the right answer. lol. Right now I don't have a need for the cards.
I loved Synergy, but the battery ran out much quicker than I would want it to. CleanROM was the best ICS rom for me, battery wise. I'm currently on the official CM10 nightlies and I get decent battery out of it as well.
it's because of spywares exist in custom kernel wich run background all time and use data without permission
If you use your phone on nonstop it drains quickly. I would live to tweak my phone to try to get over 5 hours screen on time. 3.5 hours and higher is good from my experience.
Battery
Mine is about the same, Stock and Rooted. Running great though and more smoothly than Stock on Clean Rom 1.3

Dude go to some research. You have no idea what you are talking about. The Kernals are stripped down for performance and exclude the "spywares" go use your internets to research before you start making these claims.
