Hey guys, does flashing .zip themes on xrecovery multiple times without full wipes cause a battery drain? My phone's battery life dies out faster with each theme I flashed. The only reason I did it was because the battery usage indicates that the display was using it up most of the time. But the length I used my phone each day has is kinda constant and my brightness is on 50%. Anyone can pinpoint the reason? On 2.2 with wolfbreak's CM Rom.

I currently have my eris rooted, flashed to kaosfroyo v35-1, which I hear has crappy battery life anyway and i hope v36 is on the horizon, and using setcpu. Not doing any crazy overclocking. And no change in drain or saving since installing it. I tried re calibrating my battery a few times including battery stats wipe.
I still seem to not be able to get the battery drain to slow down other than turning off the 3g when not using it. Is there a 3g managing app? I haven't been able to find one. And any other suggestions im definantly open to. (The collins battery tweak wasn't working out as far as getting it set up and running.) Also when I reboot the phone the battery gains about 10%.

Do you have the 50% time without signal bug? Go to Settings->About phone->Battery Usage and check under Cell Standby.
Nope. And its been 5 hours since unplugged. 3% time without signal.

I normally don't do this but I have seen this question 5+ times in the past 7 days. Do a search my friend.
Thanks

My suggestion...
is to try Nitro's EC01 Rom, as well as Nemesis2all's updated kernel (Which gives you the ability to change volt settings, speed, etc) which can really improve your battery life.
Ya I would say try Nitro's Evil Fascination ROM and Nemesis2all's kernel as well. My battery life is pretty good without messing with the voltage. If you're still not getting great battery life you should a) download Juicedefender. The free version does an amazing job for me or b) do some research and try to adjust the voltage settings.
I just started using Active Apps from the market. I guess it's a Samsung product that you can use to replace Task Manager. Whenever I don't use it, my battery drains real quick, and without a specific pattern. When I use Active Apps, and use the Ram Manager level 2 kill, my battery drain instantly gets much lower. 5 hours unplugged yesterday only drained my battery like 11%. Compared to up to 30% otherwise. Hope this helps others too!
Try the app "juice defender " in the market. It makes my battery last 2ice as long

How long after battery calibration should I see a difference?
I need to reiterate what has been said: first, install Juice Defender and learn to tweak those settings, it's well worth it. Second, undervolt that puppy with Nemesis2all's latest kernel. At idle, my phone might last 48 hours [not tested].
I only ask because when I recalibrated my battery (charged fully, wiped stats, drained battery, fully charged with phone off) my battery life is worse

I update OTA last week on Verizon to Froyo 2.2. My battery was overheating and draining like crazy from my CPU usage being at a constant 99%..
I found the source of the problem. An app I use for facebook called "FLOW". The CPU usage was cut to 20% when I killed it with "Advanced Task Killer".
I resolved the issue by: Opening Flow.. going to Preferences.. Notification Settings.. Refresh Type.. Checked Periodic Polling (I was using Gmail Experimental previously)
Hope this helps...
Hi all,
I don't really use my X10 now as I have upgraded to the Xperia S, but I have started running again and I thought it would me a good device to track my progress using the Endmondo app and GPS rather than take my new phone along with me.
I used to do a lot of installing custom ROMs, kernels etc, but now I no longer use the phone I have flashed back to stock kernel and stock 2.3.3 ROM from Sony. Problem is, I give it a full charge, and then the phone will randomly shut down on say, 45% battery remaining (the worst I've seen it happen is on 82%!) The power also drains very quickly so it's not very reliable for what I want to use it for.
I've tried everything, re-calibrating, wiping battery stats etc but nothing does the trick. Is the battery just screwed? This never used to happen on the custom ROMs.
Its the battery itself I had the same problem as high as 85%-86% bit the bullet and bought a new battery and a few full charges and discharges and battery calibration later its back to how it was when new
Get a battery for it.mate

Heyy i've had this issue from after installing zeubea's CM10 .. my battery will not charge past 74% ... i've tried various roms since, but in vain. Anyone have a solution ? for it to charge to 100% ? The battery life on the phone is horrible as it is, now with this problem the phone doesn't last more than 4/5 hours.
My 1st question is, how old is your phone/battery?
Not Long after using zeubeas Rom/s I noticed my battery doing the same thing, turned out the battery itself was at the end of its life. I'm not saying zeubeas Rom caused it but it did seam to coincide about the same time. Maybe try backing up your current Rom and restore an older backup and use that for a while and see the results.

Try going into the testing menu and look at the battery life.
You should see something like this.
Look at the battery scale. It could be a problem with the ROM and that the scale is only up to 74%. If it says 100, then you'll have to look at getting your battery replaced.

Before I entered the world of custom ROMs, my i9300's battery was fine. However, when I flashed my first custom rom months ago (CM10.1 nightly), my battery would drain from 100% to 0% in around four or five hours. This was only on light to moderate use, with a bit of Web browsing and Kindle. GPS and mobile data are almost always both off, other than when I need them, and brightness is set at the lowest possible 90% of the time. I checked my battery usage in the settings and there was no evidence of the renowned mediaserver cause of battery drainage, so I'm not really sure what the cause is.
Also, a few days ago my phone began reaching extreme temperatures when I executed any operation on my phone. At the moment I am typing in xda only and my battery is at 111 degrees. I noticed that it began with a certain nightly of Carbonrom and Temasek kernel.
I have done numerous factory resets and flashed different ROMs and even gone back to stock and fully unrooted, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a really bad battery drain.. You might wanna freeze some unused Google apps and underclock the CPU temporarily while you look for a better solution.
That's the problem. I'm underclocked to 1Ghz and my battery is currently 116 and draining ridiculously fast.
