Hi all, first of all im new here and wanted help on that ROM, i tried a few already and that one is a great one, first i wanna congratulate Wolf by his job, is for sure a hard one but...
After reading tons of solutions in Wolfs thread, and even in other threads, tried other tweaks and "cheats", i still need a "right" answer.
My battery drains too fast, even more than stock 2.1, i tried everything that were said in Wolfs post as i said above, and still the same...
Some even say that doesnt matter the brightness of the screen in this ROM its almost no diference but even at less than 25% my batery goes down around 20% a hour.... yeah if im looking at my xperia, and after some minutes check it again the batery was drained 2-3% and just by leaving it on the table...
i guess something is wrong with it, something i did ofc, since everyone is enjoying new batery life, im loving the ROM just need to be sure how to fix my batery if thats done everything is alright for me and can wait for new Wolf ROMs, or even the ones with new Kernel, without changing this one, cause its really great
so if someone that faced the same problem as me, plz can do me a detailed step-by-step "guide" how to fix it i would really apreciate it.
p.s: yeah u can ask me to re-flash the ROM, but maybe is the 10th time i've made it i really saw 2.1 rom and 2.2 wolf's one changing a lot of times in this last week lol but if u have a solution and need to do it again here i go
p.s.2: wireless always off or almost, only turn it on once in awhile at home to download some apps from market but is very rare, GPS always off, have no car and dont use it in any other kind of apps BT also off ...humm i guess i have everything as they should be but the phone likes to drain my battery
Many thanks, and hope u guys can help me
Best regards from a Portuguese friend

I did experience the same issue at first with wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, but the battery drain seems to be fixed after some updates. Have you applied the latest update v054?
-- Edit --
You might want to try to calibrate your battery by draining it until the phone is forced to shut down by itself and fully charge it several times. I noticed my phone hanged on at 1% for quite awhile before it shut down during the draining process.. lol
I'm not entirely sure if it's healthy to drain the battery this way. I know it's not when you drain it completely but it seems there's a safeguard built in to tell the phone to shut down when the battery level is critical (since my phone wouldn't just cut right off after I drain the battery, it shuts down like how it would be done manually..)
my two cents
Try what Realorasz is suggesting

Hmmm... strange. I just checked, none of those files exist on my CM6.1.3 v054.
Try it. I learnt this from a xda thread. I can't find it right now.
1. Drain your battery by itself.
2. Keep your X10 switch on and charge, until battery is fully.
3. Disconnect from charge.
4. Turn off X10
5. Connect to charge again, until battery is full again.
6. Turn on X10 and enter Xrecovery--advanced xxxx--wipe battery satats.
7. reboot.
BTW, do u use any battery widgets? Try to get rid of them(it). They always drain your battery. CM- ROM can show the exact battery number by battery icon in Status Bar.

lol! Then those files surely did not come with CM 6.1.3 by default.
One thing that's weird about the battery usage is that the % of "display screen" is always off the chart (>50%)... I just assume that's the power management issue which will be fixed in GingerBread.

Thanks for the clarification mate! I previously thought you were discussing how removing those files would improve original CM 6.1.3's battery life.

My mistake for jumping to the conclusion there..
Maybe it's just my phone but after a day of use, display screen usually takes up 75% and other stuffs would only have less than 5-10% lolol (Note that's not after watching a whole movie just normal browsing, calls, texting..etc). It's quite an obvious change from what I observed where the battery usage distributions are quite even over different sources with 2.1 stock rom.
ty all for ur help, i'll try that today and see if it works, just one more question
would it be good if i re-flash the phone again "while"-"after" doing that process?
something like after my batery is drained get it full charged... blablabla... flash the phone to 2.1.... blabla get back to Wolfs ROM and then do the same step when batery is drained again? in my point of view that would be good wouldn it?

I was going to download owain94's v4 of FroYo last week but forgot, now I can't see it anywhere
does anyone have the file?
I don't want to move to Gigglebread as the camcorder doesn't work (the app suggested doesn't allow sending by MMS witht the resulting .mov files)
use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 you can use it without a full wipe of your device.
this is just a better froyo rom and more stable.
To answer the original question, owain has left the Mini Pro scene and deleted his ROM.
By the way, slade's ROM is the best (IMHO), NEVER rebooted for me, fast and smooth, all function is working. Ideal for everyday use.

I had 5% - 10% battery drain per hour on all roms (SE 2.1 owains & slades CM6 / 7).... almost sold the phone for a desire z, then found that the location services were eating the battery. I don't use latitude, so wasn't an issue for me.
Hello,
I've a touchpad, and i'm planning to install Cm on it,
1. Which Rom offers the best battery life?
2. Is it the official?
thank you

No one can answer that, it all depends on how you use your device. Install something like "Pimp My Rom" and tweak things for good battery life yourself. It's a free app available via Google Play.

I jump stay nightly cm9 to 10. On cm9, when screen off it drain battery no matter its deep sleep or not. Like when i woke up after a 8 hours sleep, battery down to like 85 from full charge. And on cm10, it at least stay around 98 at most. Only thing is that chrome has issue with cm10.

I use jcsullins ' cm10 preview. My tablet always goes to deep sleep and I lose less than 1%/hour.
Go to the play store and download an app tracking application. CPU Spy is good, and there are others which would let you know what's using the battery. For the life of me, I can't remember the names, but I'm sure someone will, and will post them for you.
Good luck.

Um, I completely wipe off cm9 before install the jcsullin unofficial cm10. I didn't really do much. Try do a full wipe and see if it fix, cause what I'm thinking is that there should have something messed across some files from different ROMs.

I didn't change nothing. I am in area where there's lot of signal infact my stock rom didn't use to have this battery drain.
I am facing the same problem, but don't know how to solve it, this rom is extremely fast but cause of battery drain i will go back to stock
I have the same issue.

Hi,
I have the same problem, after 8 hours unused (Cyanogenmod 10.1.3) I have battery drain ~8%. :crying:
I returned to stock rom 4.1.2 (I9300XXELKC_I9300OXXELK4_XEO) and after 8 hours unused I have battery drain only ~2% !! :victory:
I checked Omega Rom, AOKP Rom and Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 all roms quickly drain battery
In my stock Android 4.1.2 I can use my phone ~3/4 days :good:
please help because Cyanogenmod is a great system but battery life terrible

Hi italian mates,
I have the same damn problem. I changed kernel, from siyah to boeffla to googy. Terrible battery drain around 8% in idle...
So is the CM that cause this...
Anyone tried Omni rom? I can't think of heading back to ToucjWiz

if you're just on CWM try to flash the last omnirom's nightly and WIPE all you can(data -cache -dalvik cache)
someone has 0,5-1% battery drain in idle
and max 10% in use

I am on last neatrom 4.1.2 with siyah kernel. Extreme good battery life. 14hrs with heavynusage, 3hrs screen on
Italian here, same problem with cm.. but i can't came back to stock... cm its much smooth and fast... i think that i will try omni as some people have just 0,5% drain x hour in idle..
Hi guys, last Friday I installed the CM11 ROM from Rodger_Rulez
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/sola-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2627210
I came from stock ICS, with ICS I had battery for 3 days with few use, with this CM11, in standby my phone drops battery as hell, I charged battery to 100% last night, in this morning I checked and was with 71% (29% in 8hours in standby), actually is only 55% and I'm not using it, I do not have Wifi, data or GPS connected, also I've Freen Ram always around 100MB, so why so battery drain? as I see in standby with this rom the smartphone not handle 24hours......
Anyone else have the same problem, if this rom is with this battery......I'll return for ICS without any doubt
