Help For Battery Life - HTC Desire S

Hello mates, I have some questions about battery life. Actually, I am wondering how can I extend battery life ? I've installed Juice Defender Ultimate and some of my friends said that I must install the kernel which has undervolting feature so I'm looking around for a ROM which has undervolting kernel and I need your help about this topic. Not restrict yourself about kernel stuff, everything about extending battery life is acceptable from me. Thanks a lot !

try this method on how to flash any ROM.... this is effective for all custom roms....
(btw, i'm on HBoot: 0.98.2000 (PG8810000) ENG s-off and using 4EXT Touch Recovery)
1. Boot into recovery
2. Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)
3. Format Data
4. Wipe Cache then Format Boot
5. Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Next if you have some wiping utility like Full Wipe 1.5 Ext4 for Saga.zip (I used the FULL WIPE DS by ronks888)...run that by selecting install zip from sd card and installing the zip...
7. Now flash the rom
8. Flash any kernel (I skipped this as there is already a kernel install on every custom rom unless you have other kernels that you're using)
9. Now reboot (Note don't flash any tweaks like transparent notification except gapps if required)
10. Now setup your phone
11. Reboot into recovery again (after setup your phone - after clicking the finish button part)
12. Now go into advanced then chose fix permissions and then install any tweaks you want (Note whether mentioned or not always wipe Dalvik Cache before installing tweak zip) - I didn't install any tweaks so all I did was fix permissions
13. Reboot (everything would work perfect 100%)
For a great battery life, try using the instructions below after following all the steps 1-13 above...
1. Use the phone till battery is less than 10% (after every fresh install)
2. Now charge it till it gives green light and shows 100% battery (some roms shows green at 90% so check if battery is 100%)
3. Now switch off the phone and charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)
4. Finally boot into recovery and wipe battery stats in the wipe/format menu.
5. Reboot (you will see a BIG difference in your battery life)

settings -> accounts & sync -> disable from there..
anyway, I am also having a miserable battery life.. can't last more than 10 hrs with frugal use..
but I have been using it for a year and a half and have not been taking care of my battery.. So probably it is nearing the end of its life and starting to "drop"..

If you want ROM that installed by default app that has tool for undervolting try ICE DS or Fallout.

It might not be the Rom, you might have apps that drain the battery, install better battery stats and get a better idea what might be draining the battery. I get about the or four hours of heavy use. Games internet video etc

That is the problem, the rom is clear. I done all wipes and format all system and sdcard.
P.S. I have "[email protected] #1" kernel

I've found switching off location services to have a significant improvement in battery life!

Install better battery stats, see exactly what is keeping your phone awake, there's a thread for it on xda, you'll also get help with figuring out what and how to improve your battery

Flash it, try it and if you are not happy with it reflash the CM kernel
P.S.: there is Tiamat 1.1.5 available

It depends what you want from your phone.
I use the Tiamat SmartAssV2 governor underclocked to 768 MHz max/ 182 MHz min CPU that gives me about 5 days of battery life (but I use my phone mainly for calling and WiFi). Tried with the CM kernel (interactive governor) and Tiamat gives better results for me.
IMO you have to try both kernels with you usage and decide which suits you best.
if I flash Tiamat 1.1.5.....and I do not satisfy with this ,so how can I back to origin kernal????
This is my thinking!!!
Into "Clockrecovery" --"wide cache" and "Wipe dalvik-cache"--then reflash CM7
Is it right???

Absolutely. Reflashing the ROM will bring you back the stock CM kernel

Do not forget to calibrate your battery for best results:
charge your phone to 100 %
power it off (shut down)
continue charging until the led indicator turns from orange to green (this will take several seconds
reboot to Recovery (I use 4EXT Recovery)
wipe battery stats
reboot to your ROM
... Or use Battery Calibration.

This is a procedure that is advised to be done after every fresh flash (ROM, Kernel, etc) that is changing some of the operational conditions of the device (such as CPU), because the system is maintaining a log of the battery consumption (the graph in the Battery use in menu is based on that). So when you change the system this log is not longer valid so it has to be cleaned to ensure proper battery indication. (your phone can show 30 % but can actually have 50 % or 15 % charge if not calibrated)

any Battery Calibrating app is skipping step 3 in the described procedure, which is the reason that I prefer the manual method
I flash this kernal last night....and wipe battery too
Now my setup is
"SMARTASSV2 mode" 1267~268

does it require rooting???
Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?
if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?
i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)
Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.
edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.
but what abt the battery issue...
it is the main problem of all...

Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?
it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.
this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.
Edit:
My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

is it a kernel or a rom...
and i saw the screenshots of this rom- CodenameDroid-(MOD)-1.2.0-NS
is this rom a good one....with faster performance and a good battery
tried ICS stock rom.
No battery problem. similar life compared with 2.3: about 1.5 days
but ICS is running slower than 2.3. Though speed still acceptable, but I want the 2.3 speed
@colocynth
Try the Matr1x Kernel und you will be fine....
Hi cloedu, I tried mv 2.1.28, using matrix kernel, if my memory is correct. Still not speed up, just like stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Formatting everything (system , boot , cache , data .....) in CWM recovery , then reinstalling stock ICS ROM made a day and night difference in battery life for me .... From 15 hours avarage to almost 1.5+ days ... Highly recommended...

anyone?? pls help me...
Hi, You could do the following (these steps are the usual generic steps worth trying):
1. Try out another battery, to ensure it's not a battery issue.
2. Charge the battery fully and then for an additional 1 hour. Go to recovery and wipe battery stats. See if this helps
3. If step 2 doesn't help, check the firmware version and make sure it's the latest required by your ROM. If not flash the correct firmware
4. If firmware is correct, take a nandroid backup and try flashing a different kernel (like faux, sebastian or bricked kernel)
5. If nothing works, take a nandroid backup and try another ROM (would suggest trying Android Revolution HD).

[Q] LG P-999 (G2X) battery issues

hello, i have uploaded my rom to ICS and have it been using for the past 4 months
last week i came in to the issue of the battery status being unknown, 999% or 1000% battery power
i've fixed this issue in the past by flashing the rom
but this time i have trouble, it seems that ever time now that the phone is powered off and powered back on the battery status returns to 999%
i have uploaded the rom egb-nightly-2012-07-01-signed on my phone and no matter how many times i flash the battery status is lost
so i am here wondering if there is a simple fix to this, downloading a apk file or anther way to configure the phone so it will read my battery status or do i have to simply buy a new battery?
please help and thank you in advance
You sure you did the flash right?
Sent from my G2X using EaglesBlood build 5
Did you reset batt stats in recovery?
Also when this did happen to me, i was always told to just cycle AP mode, and it did work.
Yours seems more persistant though.
I would make sure batt is fully charged (charge it with phone off if your that unsure) and than first boot goto cwm and clear batt stats.

ok im flashing right now as we speak, this is what i am doing
wiped data/factroy reset - Done
wipe cache partition - Done
wipe dalvike cache - Done
and this time im also wiping battery stats - Done
installing egb-nightly-2012-07-01.zip - Done
wiped again in rom install file
installing gapps-ics-20120420=signed.zip - Done
phones first boot----battery status set 100%
unplugging phone now and rebooting - battery still reading 100%
reboot #2 - battery reading 100%
reboot #3 - battery reading 100% problem maybe fixed
if issue continue i will carry on with this forum
i seem to be having trouble with the quick reboot now... seems to be just powering down my phone....
I've had trouble with the reboot before in eaglesblood and to be frank I think its normal to some degree for most roms. As for the battery problem I've noticed in my experiences that if something like that were to occur it usually dealt with my kernel but I mostly run 7.2 and not ICS so there maybe some differences here.

thank you for the response
last night i modded the dpi and installed the market mods and rebooted the phone and the phone battery info crashed again...
anyways today i flashed my phone loaded a older version of ICS, reboot my device and the battery status is still working after i changed my dpi, for some reason i feel the issue is fixed now but i will post in the future if this issue carries on
thank you
ok i was updating framework animations and yet my battery went back to 999%... WTF
why is it doing this?
ive never had so much trouble with my phone
what am i doing to the phone that it makes it do this
i ask again could this be just battery issues?
I had a lot of issues with the phone reboot myself. That sounds crazy. My only issue I had was the date and time would not sync off my Sim card. Seems like a lot of people don't like the eb rom and I don't know why cuz I love it.

The battery shows you 999%?, maybe a baseband problem...
but like iron man would say... 999%??? cool....

battery problem

Hi everyone,
It's been a few weeks now that my battery couldn't reach more than 5h with firekernel while it could easily before.
I changed the kernel and now the battery is very good but the indicator decreases from 100% to 1% quickly and gets stuck to 1% for a while.
I tried a battery calibration but that didn't help.
My config:
-Xt1541 2gb ram
-rom: AEX 7.1.2 v4.3
-kernel: UltraDevs v3.5
Can you please help me to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

First I'd suggest using latest version of UltraDevs kernel (v4.0).
If that still doesn't help you, take a nandroid backup and clean flash the ROM again and check for the problem without installing any apps. If it doesn't exist, install your apps 1 or 2 at a time and keep checking. You'll maybe find the app which is causing it (if it is called by some app).
If the problem exists with a clean flash and no other apps installed, it's the ROM and you might just report it to the ROM Dev.

take a nandroid backup, then flash back to stock marshmallow, see if things improve. Use either stock moto kernel or squid kernel and post battery stats after that
Thank you both for your reply!
I'm not home now and don't have really good signal so I'll try to get back on stock marshmallow when I will be able to.
Though I flashed Ultradevs v4.0 and the problem is still there. I'm gonna clean flash the ROM again and I'll tell you then.
Thanks again!
Sorry for the double post but do I need to wipe system in recovery for a clean flash?
I get back to the thread because I flashed back stock ROM with stock kernel and that did the same, now I'm on lineage os and the problem is the same. When I reboot bootloader it is say "battery OK" in green but in recovery and in the ROM 1% is displayed. The problem is very annoying and I don't have any idea how to solve it knowing motorola won't do anything the device being unlocked.
