Hi I have HTC Sensation, and 1,5 ghz kernel, dar forest rom. And I calibrate battery, and I am after few cycles, becouse some says that after flashing new rom, u must wait a couple o cycle to battery to be good. And my battery last about 19 hour with about 3,5 hour screen on. Is it good or bad, and what can I do if its bad
Hi,
If you are using a data plan and sync data, try increasing the frequency interval or use manual sync. Saves Battery.
Good or bad?
But, how do you guys think is it good battery life, medium or bad?
Its average

I'd agree with average. One thing you can do is install 'CurrentWidget' from the Android market and place the widget on your homescreen. Change the refresh interval to 10 seconds, turn the screen off and then wait around a minute for the phone to settle. After a while, turn the screen on again and look at the reading the widget gives. It should be around 3-5mA (that's what I get on my HD2). If it isn't you may want to try turning off different wireless things and anything you think may cause high battery drain. Turning off background data is a MUST, you have to turn it back on to use the market but with background data off I get 3-5mA whilst with it on I get around 20mA. It doesn't stop you using data, just turns off some unnecessary syncing. Despite the pathetic 1230 mah battery in my HD2, I can easily use it for a whole school day (including music on the way to school and gaming for about 20 mins before registration) and have around 40% left by the end of the day. I charge it every night anyway but it's reassuring to know it can last me that extra day if I need it. Hope this helps
if somtimes play games, music... it's normal but if you sometimes call or sms it's not good
ok
Than what is good?

average like other said..if you dont do nothing but calls and sms and it lasts like that..that would be bad..more use=more battery drain.
Try using wifi as often as possible. Also 3g is a much better battery saver than using WiMAX. Also the Tiamat SBC 4.1.0 kernerl is amazing on saving battery life! And it even works with the ICS roms.
19 hours of battery life sounds reasonable to me considering that the sensation is a dual core phone.

Oh and by the way I've recently come across articles that actually say recalibrating (wiping battery stats) your battery doesn't actually do much.
I'd rather try to avoid over charging to prolong your battery life (pull out the charger as soon as it touches 100%) and try to use it til you're out of juice instead of constantly charging.

Yes, but with Tiamat SBC 4.1.0 kernerl i dont have 1,5 ghz. And also I never flashing kernel alone. Always it goes with roms. Can I change kernel without reinstaling rom?
Battery drains has many situation, as little information you provide, it's hard to figure out how and what makes this happened.
Maybe you can check how many apps running on the background, or services still running while shouldn't run.
Or, tell you what, you also can flash your ROM to a stable one like ARHD's rom.
my 2 cents

Hi all,
I have been facing a very high drain on my Inspire.

I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226016&highlight=battery+calibration but still my stats doesn't look promising.
From 12:13 to 12:31 i.e., in 10min i face a battery drain of 20%. Is it expected behavior or i am just facing it.
BTW,In that 10min i was playing a game named Death Rally.
please see the attached file of my current widget log
can anyone please suggest me of how to gain good battery life.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!

hey sandy well a game like that will pull battery life I play a game called zombie smash and it pulls battery fast just cause the game,and games in generally but I would say best way to test your battery is just not play a game for a couple hours or w.e and see what it does. For me with a similar rom and kernel at 100% I use pandora or google music to play my songs for about an hour or so and with in that hour I would check facebook,send a text or even check xda and with all that my battery would drain about 10% but thats a lot of activity to drain so its damn good and when I leave for work ill listen to music with google music and be at work for 8 hrs and with some texting and facebook battery drains maybe 5-7% by the end of my day with all that activities I would have about aprox 75%
But,even on Idle hours i.e., from 22:00 to 07:00 the drop is from 82 to 64%.At this time the phone is just active on data network,is this reasonable..18% drop in 8 idle hours?

Game play will drain battery. Its normal, it be different if you were losing that without using phone. Also try latest IceCold 8.2. Also as mentioned above our batteries suck.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
upgraded to IceColdSandwich - 8.2 - AOKP and played the same game again for 10min.Guess what?
This time the battery drain is just 4%
Very pleased,
I think this is the problem with stability of rom's why coz i used to play this game from many days.It's only the other day that i had worst battery life.
May be while on Inspire i shouldn't complain about battery life.
I also observerd that,while charging my device after 81% it suddenly jumps to 100%.Is this natural or i am only facing this problem?
If you don't believe me,pls see the log file.
Same thing happened to me on another rom, from 94% to 100%. It is odd but the drainage seemed normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Keep in mind there will come a time the battery will stop working, it's called aging.

I Had this Problem too (same rom)
I switched to Android Revolution HD. It has fixed the problem so far...later i will switch backk (maybe) to see if this fixed it.
usually you have to delete the old battery stats and go through a drain and charge cycle for a couple of days to fix it.
What i did is i bought 2 extra batteries off amazon and i always have 2 fully charged. My system works out great because i pretty much have double battery life
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
OK I'm on MIUI v4 now.
To fix your problem you have to go get a battery calibration app from Google play. Most of the apps will ring when you have really reached the actual 100% charge. Then press the calibrate button. Unplug. And done.

I'm getting some decent battery life - about 20% more per day, for my average usage (ending the day around 65%), than stock (rooted). I'm running Omega v7.1.
As suggested, give it a few cycles.

I have problem with my android system, it's drain more battery than my screen on.
I just installed BBS, Gsam Battery Monitor, and Watchdog but I can't get the infromation what did android system do with my battery
Anyone can help me ?
Since 4.4.2, leaving my phone overnight would drain 0% battery (or sometimes, very rarely, 1%).
I'm using Greenify (I Greenify everything except WhatsApp and Nova Launcher) and on a typical school day I can end up with between 50%-60% of battery.
The more draining things I disabled include Google's location reporting service and always-on WiFi scanning. Perhaps you may check
Battery life is really bad , not as good as it used to be , certainly not as good as my Stock Note 2 was!!!!!!!... please any suggestions?
Nothing works,tried all the tips around here (except for rooting), before kitkat (on jelly bean mj7) I used to have that annoying android os bug, when I received kitkat, the bug was resolved but got replaced by another unexplaicable drain by "android system" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" android system " and " media " drain are too Damn high... 2 hard resets didn't even help at all.... And I'm on the gsm only mode with gps off all the time.......
I'm really getting fed up with Samsung and their crap software , this is my third note device and the most buggy one... and it's really getting ridiculous ...
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Cheers.
All in necessary bloatware disabled. Sync on. Olways with wifi in home or 3g out. Locations disabled. Amazing battery life .

Hmm are you on ORO? I'm from bucharest too but let's talk English here
Anyway mine today seems stabilised. Android system is the second one now but still kinda high...
I'm on NC2 now. I have an unbranded phone and i tried all firmwares from sammobile, some with full wipe and still have battery drain. I even began to get rid of some apps but i don't think it is app related. I had exatly the same apps on 4.3 with much better battery life.
Having horrible battery life with my Note 3 after the update. The android system shows up using 50%.... It's been 4 hrs off the charger and I'm already down to 70% battery life. Just horrible.
I have a question for everyone who's suffering from the battery drain in KitKat and who seem to have Android System at the top of the list constantly:
Do you by any chance have a service called gsiff_daemon as a major cause for battery drain? You should be able to check this with Better Battery Stats or Gsam Battery Monitor apps.
I'm just trying to find out something and I could be wrong but it would be good to hear from people who have a draining battery.
I have noticed that after every full charging when Battery percentage reach at 30 , from then within 10 min it falls down to 15 percent....i have tested it twice or thrice in standby mode.. What should be the reason behind it???
Make sure that all the windows are closed, Phone brightness and timeout is low, and also make sure that your battery properly fit to the mobile sometime due to this battery fall down fast.
ya i have checked....battry prblm ho sakta hai????????
Its a common problem. One desi solution for it is swith off the phone while charging and let it charge completely. Then swith it on while plugged in.
Do this atleast once a week, it solved the problem for me.

Also if your battery is more than 6 months old, consider changing the battery as the average life for micromax batteries is 7-8 months depending upon how many times you charge and discharge it.
In my case, i've to charge it atleast twice a day. Maybe because of this my stock battery bulged in 7 months.

Wipe battery stats
Mostly it is not the battery as the drain will be at the same rate. it usually is because of the software. You can also try wiping battery stats.
Hi all,
Having been on OOS 10 now for a few weeks, I can report that I'm getting very strange overnight battery drain.
There are no weird wakelocks, no rogue apps, it's just strange drain. I used to get 2-5% drain overnight using same scenario and setup and now on OOS 10 I'm getting 15%+ overnight drain.
Is anyone else seeing this too? Is there anything we can do to rectify this? Do custom A10 ROM's also see this drain?
Just to confirm: this is a clean install too if the stable build.
same problem + many bugs with oos10.
This release is a beta, not stable.
Not only is the battery draining like crazy, but the phone is also getting significantly hotter under regular use than before. And I've also noticed scrolling feels a bit stuttery and is not as smooth as it was in OOS 9.
I hope OnePlus pays attention to these issues, otherwise I'll have to go the custom ROM way.
Disable Ram Boost in settings ?
I'm getting better than OOS 9 battery drain. I've not done anything unusual, with Bluetooth, wifi & location all on 24/7 and a smartwatch I used to get about 1.5% per hour drain.
Now I'm tracking under at about 0.8% to 1% per hour. No special plugins or addon's to help with this.
PS. RAM boost on as well.
