(Q) battery life on froyo - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I have updated to the newest release of FroyoEris and I've noticed a considerable differennce in battery life. Dunno why, I hadn't really noticed it on earlier releases (v29 and on). My SetCPU profiles and settings havnt changed since either.
My question is this...
My buddy has a mm Evo and when he got the Froyo update he noticed that his baterry life dropped considerably. Turns out it was in issue inside 2.2 and not long after HTC came out with an update that he says seems to have fixed it. Could this be the case with the Froyo release for the Eris?

I don't understand. Can you give some info? Are you getting worse battery life?

Check your radio band. Go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information and go down. If it says anything but cdma auto prl under preffered network type then change it to that hit menu and select radio band. It will force close which is normal. This should help your battery life.
Also, do you have an app called toggle2g?

Coo I will check that out. Ty
And no I dont have toggle2g app installed.
Update:
I went to phone information like you stated and it was already set the option you listed. Still did menu and hit select radio band. It force closed like you said it would.
Where you sugesting that it could have been set to something different? If so this is not the case. Any other ideas?

Just trying to help. I had terrible battery life after flashing KaosV32, then I saw someone mention that wiping the battery stats AFTER fulling charging would help out tremendously. It worked!!! My battery went from crap to still working way past 12 hours (after wiping battery stats).
Usually, I just do Facebook and Yahoo mail on mine. Light web surfing.
Hope this helps you.

Hey thanx a lot for the post. I will definitely give that a try tomorrow morning. Anything is worth a shot. Really appriciate the input.

Awesome dude. Glad it worked for you. Mine is still doing great. I couldn't hardly believe the extra hours of enjoyment after doing the battery stats wipe. And that only took like 3 seconds, if that long.

I got my phone to last all day yesterday (pulled off charger at 10 A.M. and put on the charger the next 1 A.M.). Yeah it is good to do once in a while.

Battery problem?

I am using bionix v and people are reporting 20+ hours of battery life using the battery left widget.. and when using my battety left widget (nearly fully calibrated) it tells me I have 9 hours left.. what's the deal? Is this a battery issue, and could I need a replacement. I have had battery issues with nearly all of my roms in the past. I guess it could be a conditioning issue. Please help

Not possible by someone who actually uses there phone. I never thought I was a heavy user but seeing replies like above I have to be past the definition of heavy user. With my extended battery I could get 2.5 days on a single charge.
Im also having battery drain with bionix newest rom. Nothings changed in my day-day usage. probably flash another modem or something.
I think I might switch to stock froyo if things don't get better. Or just order a new battery. Because it just drops like a rock. And im using watchdog but it doesn't really help that much. Or could someone with experience with battery drain guide me on how to stop it from happening?

Something tells me you have a bad battery if you've always had battery issues. Did you get your phone from T-Mobile? If so call them and tell them your battery is bad--they should send you a new one for free.

Yes I got it from t-mobile but I have not used stock long enough to see whether it was just a rom issue. I have only flashed team whiskeys roms and they seem to kill my battery. Nero v3 was the best but still wasn't great. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and maybe use the phone to get on xda, engadget, facebook, etc for about 1 hour, But my battery drops like a rock when I do this. And ever since bionix v it has only gotten worse. From that one hr of usage it drops 40 percent. Is hsdpa that big of a battery-killer? Because on wifi it seems to do a little better. Idk if this is just a network issue or what? Like right now it dropped 2 percent just from typing this up. brightness is less than half and everything is set to manually refresh. Wth?

Had terrible battery life as well with bionix v. Double checked to see if anything was running in the background and reconditioned my battery. Even then I was still getting atrocious battery life. Oh well I ended up switching back to axura which imo offers great performance and battery life. Not saying TW roms are bad (nero v3 was amazing) give Masters axura a shot if you haven't.

Edit: nevermind it seems to be doing well enough for the time being. Talked on the phone for 1 hour, texted, and went on xda and engadget. It is at 70%. On standby mode it ia doing loads better after reconditioning. Does losing 30% to doing stuff like that sound about right? Battery left says I have 7 hours 58 min remaining

[Q] I need some serious help with my battery.

I'm currently running Kenneth's latest Alien ROM and I get a battery life of about 6 hours. I've tried letting the battery die out , fully charging, then doing a battery wipe. Also tried Jug's fix. All they seem to fix is a battery jump issue but I wish that was all it was. Any other things that might help? I really don't have the money for a new battery.

To the op:
I'm actually not having this problem... Getting great battery life. I get like 8 hours of talk time, 6+ hours of web browsing or days of standby. Have to charge like every other day. Running Alien 3. That's not too helpful I guess, but know that it may be some weird configuration you have.

Thanks xploited. I'll give that a shot. the weird thing now is that I get 100% and 4200mV in the battery calibration app. It doesn't make sense. It's apparently fully charged but as of now it's dropped about 10% in about 20 minutes.

Sounds like your battery may just have a problem. Do you know anyone else w/an Atrix that you could swap batteries for like an hour and see if the problem follows the battery?
@epoh The only other person I know that has one lives about 2.5 hours away lol.
It kinda makes me curious if an SBF flash back to 1.83 would fix it. I only had this issue after flashing HKTW on a low battery.

Have you tried AURA 1.1.1 ROM?
I don't know if you even want to give any other ROM a shot, but I have used Alien ROM # 2, too many issues and was not patient enough.
Flashed AURA 1.1.1, after that 2 issues with my battery are fixed, one is the battery life, I usually get around 15 hours from fully charged at 8 AM when I leave for work, so I usually charge just once a day. Second issue with Alien was my phone was overheating like a frying pan.
It just happened with any other ROMs I have tried so far but with AURA maximum temp I have seen on my phone is not more than 38 Degree C. With other ROMS it was just above 38 all the time.
If you don't mind flashing different ROM, try it.
Basically what I do is load into CMW
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Cache
Wipe Data
Install ZIP
Reload Phone and use it for a bit
Process the battery stats wipe cycle twice
Battery is just normal now
Good Luck
It seems to me to be obvious issues with GB right now..which is disappointing because I was expecting it to get better. I went from 16+ hours of usage (with 2-4hrs of onscreen time) to about 8-10. I've went from Orange 2.3.4 to CherriPi now to Alien #3 with both the 1.1 o/c kernel as well as the stock kernel..with no improvements. I did notice a slight improvement when I turned the Social Applications from Push to 60mins..but still am nowhere near where I was with Froyo (yes..I've tried xploited's tips as well). I know its not my apps or configurations because none of that has changes since 2.2..

Can I ask real quick some questions? First off what do you have running as far as processes, cause for instance if Tune in Radio is left on running in background it KILLS my battery life. If I forget to exit it. Also, did you freeze any bloatware that alien didn't? example. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459 Also, what kernel are you using? Are you overclocking? Over / undervolting? Just trying to get a better idea of what's up unless I missed it in a previous post. But I think I read em' all.
@phalanx I haven't frozen anything. I'm using the last Alien full build including kernel. The only apps I have installed are facebook, google+, and XDA premium app. The thing that is supposedly killing my battery is phone idle. It's doing slightly better today than it has been. It says it's got about 10 hours so far. But it's still nowhere near the 12-16 I used get.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
did you flash the GB radio as well?
it you're still using the froyo radio that is known to cause terrible battery if paired with GB ROM
Yes I do have the GB radio. I believe it's version. 1.77.15* don't know the whole number.
Edit: I meant to say 1.77.30

I used incredicontrol to undervolt everything by 50 or 75 in incredicontrol. Using stock freqs, and ondemand governor. And used danuntzz's tool to do most of the desensing/debloating.

I need to figure out what's wrong with mine. I'm getting results like this with the extended VZ battery. I have to keep it plugged in all the time. Even with 4G disabled (3G still on), no wifi, no bluetooth; most days it will be dead in 8-10 hours.
Currently running 5/1 leak radios (RUU'd last week), running BAMF ICS 2.1 with the kernel that came with the Rom (1512mhz max, 384mhz min). Most syncing besides gmail is disabled.
I'll get a pic whenever i go unplugged again. I'm working remotely this week and am keeping it plugged up during conference calls.

Once you have done that click on stats in the app and it'll clear battery stats. Reboot phone go into app and clear stats again. That should be it. When I had clokworkmod installed on the reboot id clear battery stats in there as well.
This has worked for me time and time again.

I believe it's in the app he mentions. The "wipe battery stats" option is also in the advanced menu of CWM (clockwork mod). If you do not have a custom recovery installed just disregard that part as bootstrap does not have it.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!

No, you're doing it wrong.

Obvious total noob here. I've read all the thunderbolt reference material here and have followed a couple of tutorials on how to root my thunderbolt, but I keep finding broken mirrors. I just keep finding dead ends. Can someone point me to a current root method for this device. My goal is to try the leaked ICS rom. Thanks.
The closest I got was with revolution.
It did see my device and I was on the last step but it seemed like my rom was not compatible. There was a nice video and followed all the steps.

Thank you for the link. I had to use that with revolution to achieve root. I am on Liqiuid now and my god its like a new super awesome phone.
Thanks again.:good:

Yeah. Rooting and having ICS is quite nice. Lol.

Welcome to the rooted club! I just joined this week myself.
I hadn't seen the all in one tool but I think I'll snag it. Revolutionary worked great for me. The only thing I had to do was temp root since I was running the .19 ROM. It was smooth sailing after that.
I'm running SkyRaider 1.3 now. I'll probably flash to ICS next month after playing with SR for a bit.
What has SR been like for you?

So far I'm digging it. It's been considerably faster and seemingly more reliable than stock. The past two years have been hateful and I wish I would have rooted a long time ago.
I'm still trying to figure out what things have changed (like what new options I have and where to find some things) but it's been a fairly easy ride. I did have to flash twice to get it to work but now it seems to be solid.

I just started using the thunderbolt and is this battery performance is terrible. I'm not going to make a full day at work. If you want to keep 4G on do you have to use a extended battery.
I am liking liquid Ics should I try another rom or is this just how LTE is

Alright..... at 7am I was fully charged and now is about 1pm and now I'm at 14% so on the charger I go. Perhaps a bad battery? I bought this phone used

Sounds like a battery. I typically charge overnight and I'm good from about 7-4. Then I charge on the 30 min drive home and I'm good until the nightly charge. I've never seen exceptional battery life even with JuiceDefender. Right now it's bad but not quite like yours. I was on a third-party battery, though. I just swapped to the HTC battery and I'll see how it is. I think I'm going to turn JD off as well to see how SkyRaider managers on its own.

This was typical for me.
I recommend turning off 4G. It's not really useful anyways unless you're trying to download something. Calibrate the battery also. Turn down your screen brightness and backlight timing. Also adjust how often accounts sync. Slow your CPU speeds.
You should be set after that.

Yeah, I only use 4G if I'm doing file transfers or tethering. I need to look at underclocking. How often do you sync? I have a number of accounts that I check every 15 min. I could probably increase that to 30.

I increase mine to 4 hours.
Some of these are apps you can change within the apps settings, such as Facebook. I usually sign on before it syncs anyways.
Definitely checks your social apps and change the update intervals. It's basically the same thing.

I unplugged at 7:30 and it's almost 4pm now. On 3G with some forum browsing and regular email checking I'm at 38%. So if you were dropping to 14% I'd definitely try a new battery. This is with JuiceDefender disabled as well.
7:25pm Update
I finally hit 14% 12 hours after disconnecting from the AC charger. I guess that's not too bad.

I just bought a 1600 battery. We'll see how that goes.

You need to realize the stock battery is only 1450. So very small for a 4g phone. I have found juice defender only made my wallet lighter. You might want to look in to an aosp ROM as it gives you better battery life. I personally disable auto sync and turn off GPS. Also while I am at work I disable data as SMS and MMS doesn't come over mobile data part. In the end some people carries more than one battery on them if they won't be in a place they can charge.

I'm on liquid ics so I'm good there. I will be swapping batteries once it comes in.
I used to swap batteries in my old blackberry days.
