After flashing to GSB (GingerShedBread) v1.9 CM7.0.0-RC1 my battery seems to be draining real fast not sure why . It has been fine on all other releases of this build i checked the battery stat's and it shows display as using 74 percent of battery usage but i have tweaked it like i always do to consume less has always worked before not sure what the problem is. Anyone else have this problem..

I wouldn't describe myself having a problem with either GSB (2.0 now) or GBT. I've been playing with my phone so much since starting with Gingerbread, that I know that's the reason I sometimes have to charge more than once a day.
I noticed my battery draining fast with not much use so I recalibrated my battery and now have amazing life

The last two releases of both GSB and GBT have had amazing battery life for me... maybe reflash?

It may be time to recalibrate your battery.

I love 4g. but I don't like how 4g loses battery life so fast.
Has anyone noticed battery life changes I'm gb?
You're lucky you have the option.
For me there is a huge difference between battery life of Froyo and GingerBread (assuming that's what you mean). Due to the radio brick possibility, I went back to Froyo (Senseless 1.6.3, now 1.7) and yeah, huge huge difference in battery life. With medium to light usage I can get 24 hours of battery life (and I have 4G). With Gingerbread, I couldn't make it through half of the day but I chalk most of that up to the fact that I had my phone on most of the time looking at the pretty weather animations.
I've gotten great battery life on ginger and horrible battery on froyo

Any rom without battery drain ? gingerbread or froyo ?
Hi,
last version of miniCM7 pro is very fast and battery friendly : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
Good luck
Now almost all ROMs are fixed about battery drain. If you take one of the last version of recent ROMs you you should not have battery drain

IM using minicm7 pro v17 , alot of battery drain , but ginger dx fine
I'm using minicm7 pro with no battery drain
don't forget to turn off bluetooth, wifi off with the ''never turn off'' governor ans turn the data off when you don't use it
It would be a god's phone if no battery draining, so we just charge the phone once and never plug it in again in the charger for the rest of our life just kidding.
so for the rom with slow battery draining, I should agree with above comments, mostly have a good battery drain at the moment (latest version of MiniCM7 Pro, GDX and GinTonic, all is ginger bread), MiniCM7 Pro seem has a worse bat drain, because several app that need data transmission runs in background without our permission, as long you always turn of 3G & Data traffic when not using it, it would be fine.
Hi everyone,
I've been running MiniCM 2.1.5 (nAa -06)for a few months now and it runs pretty fine and it's very nice to have Gingerbread and so on.
But I'm very disappointed with battery life and I don't see why it is so bad.
I understand the MiniCM should have similar if not better battery life than stock (2.1) firmware but I don't see how this can be achieved.
I always used to have 2G/3G enabled, and with stock ROM my battery would last up to 5 days with minimal usage. With MiniCM I don't get over 2 days. With normal (low) usage, my battery now lasts about 30 hours.
When the battery is empty after a minimal usage cycle, I have something like 49% cell standby, 45% phone idle and a few % display, which basically means I'm not doing anything with the phone and there's no app running in the background etc.
Switching to 2G only (and other famous battery saving tips) will give me some extra hours, but still nowhere near stock battery life (with 3G/2G all the time).
I have no tasks running that should drain battery,
I have also wiped battery stats (using the BatteryCalibration app) with no noticable effect. My voltages are displayed between 4.15(100%) and 3.65(0%) . Shouldn't it drain down to 3.2?
What are your mini battery lives?
What are your voltages at 100% / 0% battery?
How to make MiniCM last as long as stock ROM?
I never get any more than 14 hours on Flame.GDX, also on MiniCM7pro I got roughly 12 hours.
I dont think theres alot you can do. JuiceDefender an apps like it may be able to help you find an hour or two longer

I have returned to stock 2.1 after a lot of experimenting.
I have tried:
- MiniCM7 2.1.5-7 with nAa
- GingerDX with nAa
- MiniCM6 1.0.2 with stock kernel
I have found that all of them use a lot of battery, though i can not see why.
They will all result in ~<50h standby, while stock 2.1 can reach ~100h.
I wonder if this is some SE secret, or if one can achieve this with custom rom, too.
Hello every one,
I am facing poor battery life with my x10 mini pro. Even I had my battery replaced recently. But still, the battery life is just about the same.
I tried following things...
1. Turning down the brightness down.
2. Turning off the data, background sync, 3g
3. Uninstalling the apps that runs on background
4. Deleting battery stats after installing new ROM (CM7 2.2.0)
I typically use my phone for 1hour of calls, 30mins of browsing, 1hour music playback, <20mins of gaming. And the battery will be drained in less than 8 hours.
And, another weird thing is, the battery fills up very very fast. It will take like 25mins to get to 100% from <15%.
Please, guide me what to do. This has been a serious head ache for me. Will flashing back to Eclair, Donut will solve the issue?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem!
I suggest flashing back to MiniCM7-2.1.9, my battery life was REALLY good on that version. But I updated to v2.2.0 yesterday and now I have the same battery problem as you. The rom does run faster and I also noticed a few bugs fixed, such as the keyboard light, but battery life is just really bad for me.
If u dont use dsp manager then remove it,because many users hve reported that dsp manager drains battery
Install battery dr saver from market
It has option of full cycle charge for charging battery properly

Done that already, still the same. Already know about Battery Dr Saver, but I don't think it helps this problem.
I also installed Badass Battery Monitor, it's really detailed and shows a lot of info. It's showing that the display is using up the most battery, but I have it idle most of the time.........
agree!
at least someone or two has same problem with me.
i just flashed cm7 2.2.0 over these 2 weeks.
well i noticed the battery drain alot faster than stock eclair.
i'm looking forward to see the solution...

Select interactiveX governer
Min 19mhz max 691mhz
And check undervolt
I do this to save battery

done that already too, except I use smartassv2 governor and my max is just stock speed at 600mhz.
I basically applied every tweak that I could find from every topic, and believe me they do work, on v2.1.9 at least.
It seems that most people have the same problem on v2.2.0, the radio somehow keeps draining battery. I noticed that it used up 33% for no reason, whereas on v2.1.9 it was around 2%.
BTW I dunno if it makes a difference if I use smartassv2 or interactiveX, but most people said that smartassv2 is better since that's what nAa uses, so it's more compatible. I don't think changing the governors matter though, I've used Badass Battery Monitor for 3 days in a row now and it shows none of the apps are draining power. Even using Android Assistant shows that my phone is idle 94% of the time, where the System uses 4% CPU and User uses 2% CPU. So I do believe it's gotta do with the radio, somehow this rom isn't using the kernel that well I think.
Then it wil be good idea to stick to 2.1.9
YES ! im not the only one wooo, i signed up just to thank the creator of this thread <3 ok so i think it is the minicm7 2.2.0 problem, because i never had it before ! BUT i am using minicm9 now, and anyone confirm that our batteries work better with this? because ive noticed a slight improvement with battery in MiniCM9, i love my mini, i need to fix this battery problem ! i even got two batteries thinking my batterys was f***ed, still only gave me about 5 hours worth of battery max !

I suggest going back to CM7 2.1.9. It's very stable for me and battery drain is so low that my phone can last almost a week on standby without much usage, it's great!
I would stay away from CM9 for now, and wait until it's more stable. So far, I've read that many people are experiencing a few bugs here and there, so I would wait until after a few new version releases and try it out then.

I am using CM9 now and its beautiful to be honest, its just a few bugs, but atm battery life > cm7 2.2.0 i am getting about 6 hours instead of 3-4 i might go back to cm 2.1.9 and see how it goes thanks guys for the help <3
what kernel should i use? beacuse i think it might be the Naa Kernel that is giving me bad battery life

well, if you're using CM9 or CM7, you have no choice but to use the nAa kernel.......unless you're asking which kernel version, otherwise you pretty much don't have a choice.
I'm pretty sure it's not the kernel either, CM7 2.2.0 drains a lot more battery compared to CM7 2.1.9. They both use the same kernel, so it has nothing to do with that.
i used cm7 2.1.9 and i got 4 hours battery life, with wifi off, 3g off, and all i did was txt thru whatsapp with 2g and i was at the movies for 2 hours anyway, and no its not my battery cause i bought another one, still the same thing im getting frustrated ! gonna try original kernel and rom

that's really odd, my phone running CM7 2.1.9 can last for 3 days easily if I just use it for txting. I'm using nAa-11 kernel, and haven't had a problem with it......maybe try to flash the kernel and rom again?

yep tried that as well, alot of times one thing i noticed was when i installed paul's kernel i hadnt charge the phone and when i booted up the phone after flashing the battery was 62% but wifi wasnt working with the kernel so i installed Naa kernel again, i didnt charge the phone and the battery percentage went up to 82% like wtf -.-

I installed cm9 mini, but phone was lagging and battery life was poor. Now i installed cm7 mini 2.2.1 and it runs a lot better than cm9, but like most of you say, i also have the battery drain issue...; during 9hours of sleep my phone lost 30% of battery that's really enoying. Stock 2.1 SE rom loses about 7% during 9 hours of sleep.
So most of you recomand the 2.1.9 instead of 2.2.1? And which kernel should i use? Is there a possibility that the kernel i use (ana 14 ) drains the battery so fast? if i install 2.1.9 should i use the ana 14 kernel, or a lower version?
thx

OK, i installed cm7 mini 2.1.9 and now the battery consumption is great!! :laugh: fully charged phone and it consumed 3% over 9hours of sleep
