When I was still running a rooted 2.2.2, my phone idle and cell standby usage would both read about 40% each when i left my phone on overnight. This resulted in only 10% total drain once I woke up in the morning. Now with the prerooted and debloated 2.3.3, my phone idle is reading 75% usage while the cell standby reads 15%. Now when I wake up, my phone battery drops nearly 40%. Does anyone have a similar issue or know why this happens?
I followed the debloat guide for the prerooted GB. Maybe the system is trying to reach one of the frozen apps to no avail?

I already received the OTA -- I was one of the soak testers. And unfortunately, this doesn't have anything to do with root or anything you have frozen. I am experiencing the same problems. Battery life is horrible now. I am almost considering contacting Verizon and moto on concerns of the update breaking my phones functionality.
I have raised awareness of the battery problems on the soak forum. Hopefully we will get a response.
Also, I'm using the extended battery and have a hard time getting through an 8 hour work day with light usage.

Try a battery calibrating app. Its possible that the update deleted the battery cached and now it needs to be re-calibrated. I've been getting great battery life, so its not something I've looked into thoroughly.
My phones been unplugged for 12hrs and is at 70 percent and I have data sync running 24/7.
And I also have 250 user apps installed and not even deblurred

It's funny, I usually don't have these odd problems, but I'm getting the same exact thing. Awful battery drain. It could be that I have removed a certain service/app while I was debloating. Gonna try to SBF or a different ROM.
My phone works fine and has the same battery drain when it is on. The thing that has changed is that my phone idle has been eating up a 5 times more battery than before.

Tried this yesterday, but it did not appear to help any...
My battery life has been great since GB. A lot of these "issues" people are having with the GB update are isolated issues. Could be due to not doing a data/factory update or 3rd party apps. If anything I noticed phone idle using more of a percentage because everything else is actually using much less battery life now.
Wish everyone would stop including pre-rooted update when they have issues with this GB build. All P3Droid did was pre-root it for us, he did not mod it. It is otherwise a stock update (soak test actually).
I am not calling anyone out specifically, it just seems to be a trend. I know you guys aren't trying to blame him or any other true developer who is trying to let us get the most out of our DX2s. Just an observation.
Pre-rooting the update is by definition a "mod"
Anyway im also curious if some of the bloat removal is causing this. I was not de bloated on 2.2 but I did on2.3 and I am draining much faster. I used to get 17+ hours easy, now I barely get 9.

One thing we found on the fascinate that had an effect on battery performance was the battery state prior to flashing any rom. Better performance & reporting was noticed if the flash was made on a full charge. Seemed to smooth out the calibration issues found the first few days after changing/updating roms. We also did some bump charging occasionally to top off the charge.

My phone idle usage was at 75% the other day but over the past couple days it has declined. Its at 56% now. Idk if there's any reason why its declined but its gotten better

moto trolls?
My battery life is no different than with froyo. I websurf ALOT at work. And whats this about de-bloated? after I got gingerbread up and running it was just as bloated as expected. The rooted unmodded rom I downloaded didnt seem to have any bloat removed. I did that all myself after the fact and still my battery lasts just as long as before.......
Yeah I've noticed that too. Helps me when I power button + sleep my phone so it sleeps rather than idling.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
If you're experiencing battery drain, you probably just have some bad data from froyo lingering. I bet a complete sbf, factory reset, root and bootstrap, flash rooted gingerbread and then don't use titanium backup or use it but only restore USER APPS, NOT APPS+ DATA. Will fix it.
It's A universal thing for any android phone, if you don't make sure you have a clean instal things like battery drain will happen.
Incidently I'm getting slightly better battery life.

I did a full SBF to 2.2.2 and then rooted and then installed GB. I start the whole process again later tonight to see if I can get better results
i dont know if it has something to do with the fact i keep getting popups to update my phone to the new software... but right now i have the CWM recovery and alien rom and its all unlocked. however i used to get amazing stand by time till something changed it and now standby died in 9 hours. any idea what to do. i did reset battery stats several times, and nothing. is there a rom that i can download to update this motorola software so it stops bugging me
Had same issue ..went from outstanding to soso on battery life....im sure in something i did
.....but....
Installed jucie defender and all good now

i had the same problem, but once i updated and rerooted it went away.
I had the same issue as well. Turned out it was Facebook using GPS literally 100% of the time - my phone would die in just a few hours of idle. Force-killed the FB app, turned off GPS, all good now.

I also use battery calibration after any flash. This helps ensure stats are wiped.

I had the same prob as him. Mine was the facebook app itself. So dumb
Had the same problem in the change log it gives it self permission to keep the phone awake and out does also keeps the GPS on too. Uninstalled and tripled back to the old version, I also killed the receivers for Facebook and I get my 16+ hours out of my battery back.

I've got juice defender. Seems to be working decently. I'm happy with it.
If the battery is that bad it must be because of an application running constantly or something that drains the battery has been left on.

I'm an avid fan of juice defender, however, with this phone, I don't really see the need to use it. This device hands down has the best battery life of any device I've used.
just sayin'
Mine seemed to kinda go down the toilet after I flashed this ROM. I think I need to go back to the 1.5 with the EXT3 though, so I have working WIFI again, til we get the 3.2 and 3.3 updates back up and bootable.

Why is this thread in the development section? Please move this thread to general discussion.
ok so i am on ginger 2.3.3 with a day one x10a baceband 71 rooted with Custom boot loader so i can literally do anything except gain more battery life. i have tried ATK in the past and ditched it for Battery doctor cause i found when you charge with battery doctor i get about 6 more hours out of my phone. ad that to my 1800mAh battery from mugen power and i'm getting about 12 more hours then i did when i got the dang thing. killing tasks all the time deferentially helps. all in all i get about 24 hours...
what i'd really like is a custom rom that is Ginger that's whole point is battery life... i'd really like to forget to plug my phone in and not panic in the morning cause i'm at 10%
i have looked though allot of roms but can't seem to find anything with all the battery eating junk ripped out it seems most of them are putting more junk in
Are there any good LITE roms out there?
Define anything.
Try ThGo2 v7.0
Best ROM in terms of battery.Using it.I charged my phone fully and slept (11PM-9AM). Received 5 SMS and 3 Missed calls,but battery still at 100%.

Sound to me more like it your habit rather than ROM/Hardware .
I wound't begin the debate here about ATK, but since your post doesn't provide any technical info. Let's try this..
> Seriously, stop using ATK.. it would just HIDE the real problems.
> Remove all unnecessary widget... clock, time, weather, photo, blah blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it significantly better?
> Remove some background-apps; viber, whatsapp, skype, trillion, imo, msg, brb, blah, blah, blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it better?
Well, it should... (definately )
Some geeks down here... skip it if you're lazy.
Actually, you will need to understand something that it's not really about ROM.
Most custom ROM provide you some 'minfree' tweak. Let's make it simple.
Case 1, minfree is 60MB (most custom ROMs)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 60MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 60MB.
Case 2, same thing with 30MB (Stock ROM)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 30MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 30MB.
So, using ATK means....you shot everything to pieces, and droid just recovers it back..
or.............................you and droid trying to shot everything down.....
doesn't sound useful.. does it?
ATK is then.. useless.. unless there are some legacy no brainer app eating CPU and tell droid that 'I'm busy doing my (stupid) job, go away and don't kill me'.
Alright, that's NOT the point about ATK.
My point is, if you having too much apps, beyond 'minfree' level, there is no way you can save the battery whether using ATK or droid itself.... ATK just hide it, and make it worse.
This is why most people get a decent battery life with stock, since it provides lowest minfree level (around simple 30MB), with a cost of system performance, which is one of the reason that stock one is the slowest one.
So, what you need to do is to adjust number of your running apps, close to the minfree level.
Or adjust the minfree level (autokiller memory optimizer?) to match your current usage.
So, all in all, if you're using custom ROMs, stop using ATK, uninstall any stupid apps till free memory is running around 60-80MB. This will give you 'optimal' (not best) battery life.
384MB is not decent enough for X10 to become a multitasking speedy beauty with decent battery life.

Try installing JuceDefender from the market. If after trying it for awhile you find an extreme difference in battery life then your problem is probably with one of your apps accessing Wifi / Wireless data all the time.
Another thing that could be causing it is if you're in a very low signal area. Where I used to work, I was lucky to get 12 hours out of my phone. Right now, it's been off the charger for 11.5 hrs and I'm down to 82%. In this case shutting of wifi and wireless data will help.
Sorry I can't offer any more suggestions. Good luck man.
I use battery Dr. for killing tasks as it helps by doing calibration charges when you charge your phone from under 20%. So I get more battery life than I did with juice defender
Also I get full bars on an hsps network at both home and work

I agree, I use JiuceDefender and if you take the time to set all the profiles it will help alot. Service area signal is also a key to battery life. Also try Battery Calibration App from the market, it will reset your battery stats. Make sure and leave the app open untill battery charges to 100%. Then let battery go till phone shuts down and charge again to 100%, That has been the best fix for me, plus Wolfberak's 2.3 rom's.
Ya using wolf note and I'm liking it.it's giving me my 3 days so I'm good.... I'd like to point out that juice defender as a few cool features but battery doctor seems to work better it has full cycle charging built in as well

Yes, on a regular day I use my phone pretty heavily, surfing the internet and things like that. CM7 has been much harder on my battery life then stock motoblur. Miui has never worked well for me, giving its in alpha, this could be fixed. I have used it for about a day, and I can assure you it lasted well over that day. Motoblur has terrific battery life (for me). After a heavy day's use I would plug it in at night and see that it still had 60% remaining.
Tldr: 1 day battery life on ever Rom I have used!
With CM7 I was only using about 35-40% of my battery the whole day with moderate/heavy use.
I get very good battery life with heavy use as well. If I'm not using my phone that often I get two days outta the battery. I use the darkside rom.

Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?

You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it

Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.
