Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.

Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.

Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?
Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
how long have you been using that rom?

The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.
Maybe your battery is fried?
I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.
I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?

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?

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?

Well I am having the same problem, except I am on the stock rom, and have never wiped my battery data. I am however rooted, and removed some of the verizon bloat (e.g. blockbuster, ect). Stock battery as well. The indicator and widgets will show the correct percentage on boot, but will not update after that.
I noticed it last night when I was trying different battery widgets. I have tried removing them, rebooting, nothing seems to help.
***UPDATE***
I think I fixed my problem, i'm not sure if they are all related, but here is what I found. I noticed I was getting a force close by SuperUser. So I force stopped it and cleared its data. Did a reboot and now all seems well. No force closed and the indicator appears to be updating.
I'm using battery left widget its fixing my battery metter

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

Hi guys,
I charged my phone to 100%. After I was heavily using it, browsing, going on twitter, etc. And I notice the battery only dropped to 99% while I was using it. It should of at least dropped to 95%.. But when I locked the phone, I waited a minute and unlocked it again then I see the percentage is 92%... Is this normal? I never experienced this before..
I am on stock LFB. I did not root or install any custom roms yet.
Yh I think it's normal. On stock Rom. I stand to be corrected but I think it's not very accurate. There's a mod for it I think. Might need root access. But then u may aswell flash cm10

Does it make any difference what charger I am using? I live in Canada and I can't use the charger it came with since it is an international charger.

Right after I rooted mine I had terrible battery as well. I ended up reformatting (not wipe, actually formatting my system and caches) and then installed my rom again, fixed permissions and my battery life has been amazing. If I don't use the phone my battery maybe drains five percent all day long. If I use it a lot it will last most of the day as well.

The other thing you should check is you fast dormancy.
If you're flashing custom ROMs it's best to do it at a FULL 100% charge. In the past, before I started doing this, I had major battery life "problems." My phone would drop from 100 to 1 in a matter of hours and just hang on 1% for hours on end. If you haven't done this, download Battery Calibration, turn off your device and plug it in. Once it reaches 100%, turn the device on, run the app, and restart your device WHILE STILL PLUGGED IN. Once everything settles you should be good to go.
