I read in different places that enabling these drains your battery, but other places that it shouldn't? so which one is it? because I really want good battery life but at the same time I want fast performance and the dt2w/s2s feature cuz I use it a lot >.< personally no other kernel has matched stock kernel for me, I average about 5:15 hours of screen on throughout the whole day, and the phone is buttery smooth, completely stock (no mods to the kernel at all).
thanks!
If you leave it running all the time (ie not setting power button to turn it off) on this phone it drains. Devs still trying to work out why when it doesn't on other phones.... unless they fixed it and I missed it

oh ok, how can I make the power button turn it off? I'm using faux123 kernel 16
Not sure. Each kernel is different

It seems like my phone runs warmer than normal with MIUI. Same thing mightve happened with Brainmasters. Charging can be also slower maybe unless i charge the phone while off. Anyone have an idea of what could be the cause?

Miui naturally drains battery faster. It has many additional 'features' that take up more CPU resources and thus brings down the battery along with it. The reason the charge takes longer is probably because more battery is used while charging. It is natural to have battery draining fast issues with miui, still it is a great rom and I love it. Hope that answers your question

I'm running Miui right now, it may have most likely been a data issue. I tried Wi-Fi and the phone wasn't running as warm or hot. I turned the data to automatic instead of 3g only and things have been better. If you had/have the same problem then try turning data to automatic in the settings. Yes this rom has more features but I haven't had those issues with Miui on the Droid X/Dinc. My issue has been solved though, has been my main rom lately.

I find that when I have my phone unplugged for like 3-4 hours it drains very quickly once I start using it. For example I'll unplug at like 7 or 8 and go back to sleep, wake up 3 hours later or something. When I start to use my phone it seems to drain a lot quicker. Is this normal for you guys?

Does it drain much during that 3 hour interval? You could try using an app like CPU Sleeper or SetCPU that allows you to turn off a core when the screen is off.
I love the battery life on Synergy 1.3! I haven't flashed to 1.4 yet, kinda liking where my set-up is right now. I'll probably wait until there's a few of the kinks worked out yet.
But yeah, I charge my phone overnight too...It usually comes off the charger about 8am, and at midnight I still have 50-60%, depending on how my day went...Some days, I only have to charge every other...
Looks like you're using about 12-13mA while idling, I am assuming you had mobile network and wifi off? I'm typically at around 24mA with wifi idling

Nope. Data and wifi on although I have sleep set to never when plugged in. I don't think I have anything set to auto update besides push mail though so it probably slept all night with me
This is standard battery as well. I just added the lean kernel and I am getting even better battery life. This is with mild screen time and 2 hours of pandora. You can see in the screen shot that it was only really awake when I had the pandora running.
Crazy battery life.....anyone have comparisons between this and 1.4? Would be interesting to see if the claims by some is true about the additional drain.....

That's some really smoking battery life! Congratulations, are you using any app or tweak for that?

It's lack of apps honestly. I have nothing auto syncing. I'll sync it when I get in the app. Also using better battery stats showed me an app that was wake locking. The lean kernel and battery saver script I'm sure are helping. No need for an extended battery on this baby.
Is anybody else having really bad battery life on ICS? Anybody know how to extend it a little? Cuz it is going down 25 % in an hour when its in sleep mode its crazy, I'm trying to figure out what is using all that power and I have had no luck.
What rom/ kernel combo are you using right now?
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
Are you sure your getting deep sleep? Use better battery stats from here so it's free and see if there are any wake locks and to check what speed the cpu used the most

Although your intentions aren't meant to be a best of thread it is... no one can really judge a ROM Based on YOUR use...
So you need to try it out on your own and check battery help thread it will help a lot...

What's "very fast"? You can get a significant drain in a few hours if your using it intensely.

i've had my 727 for about a year now with multiple flashes. if in deep sleep, battery life is VERY good, i'm talking 2-4% attrition an hour tops. but under usage, 15 minutes will drop me 7-10% depending on what i'm doing. does anyone have this same issue?

I get 1% an hour deep sleep, sometimes less, but I don't background sync so...
also my best was 1 day 5 hours with over 3 hours screen on time on LTE only

Sounds about right for me then. There is definitely some battery capacity loss as it drains a bit faster than a year ago.
i leave LTE on at all times, brightness between low and auto, and my total screen time will be around 1.5-2 hours max.

the only way to get above 2 hours onscreen time is to heavily under volt, -75mV or above if u can. if you aren't already, you're missing out. Battery gains for no performance loss.

thanks for the reply Icenight89. i've never done this before, just played with governor settings under performance.
do you recommend setcpu or voltage control?

I just wanted to say that I installed TFQ Lightning zap kernel on top of vincoms SUPERLITE, and used his recommended underclock / undervolt / governor / io settings. I will report back in a few days once I've had a few runs with this setting.
super lite is a good, stable ROM, no bells and whistles, only what u need for a dd. lightning kernel is stable, and I recommend either voltage control or incredicontrol.

Im using Mohans latest Embryo 6.1 and tried both of the voltage controls you referred to and incdredicontrol gave me messages that stated there was a conflict with the kernel. I Installed voltage control but it appears the minimum I can set it is 192 mhz which is the same settings in the performance tweeks portion of the rom. I read earlier that it could be taken as low as 75. Any idea what I might be overlooking.

im on the official latest radio.. and i havent made a phone call today.. out of no where it started acting like this.. did a battery pull even so maybe we will see what tomorrow brings..
whenever i see something taking up an irregular amount of battery i just reboot and it usaully fixes it
Whats your current ROM/kernal combination? I have the same battery; CleanRom RLS6 and Hyperdrive RLS9 I was getting around a day and half.
Pretty sure I figured it out. Seems like it was from the kernel I was using.. The Zeus kernel. Did a few battery pulls and it was still acting up. I was getting 12+ hours screen on time with the battery before I switch from lean kernel to the Zeus kernel. Back to lean and I'm at 2 hours screen on time and battery is at 90 percent. So I think I'm good now.

I noticed with the zues kernel i needed rom toolbox for any changes to stick. Nothing else worked for me. There are a few apps to check out whats going on (better battery stats, wake lock detectors, and cpu spy) cpu spy will tell you if its going into a deep sleep.

What changes in did you make to the Zeus kernal? I do know its a little power hungry than most; I just recently switched back to my normal battery and it seems to eat at it pretty quickly.
