thx everyone!
What SD card you using ? ..
With my 8gb class 6 card, the Current Widget shows 3mA (stand by)
same build other card (2gb class 4) Current Widget shows 69mA (stand by)
How often do you use your phone? Sometime, w e forget that the battery drains fast because we're constantly on wifi or 3g and playing games.
turn off gps, wifi, 3g if not needed. boot android when keylights are on.
i can use android up to 20 hours with normal use (some phonecalls, internet, searching marketplace, checking twitter, weather, mails and so on every hour...)
maybe try another radio, another wm-rom, android build... 'search' is your friend there are so many threads/posts about battery...
hmm today the battery was emtpy after 5 hours... having 3 calls ( 3-6 minutes) and beeing most of the time in stand by modus...
@ bytefax: i have a scandisc 2GB... i dont know wich level... -> does that mean -> the bigger the sd card, the less gets the battery use?!?!
@azzzz: at the moment i try to use it only if its really necessary... just to check out how long my battery lives...
@tranquillo: i´ve already checked several posts, but what i´m looking for now, is someone, who got the same phone as I do and let me try his SetCpu settings...
übrigens... ich tu mir auf deutsch etwas leichter... danke schonmal für die hilfe... wär super wenn ich mein htc länger als 5 stunden benutzen könnt.

Try to run CLRCAD and HARET whit the keypad lights on.
I had mattc 1.5b installed, in standby mode I was getting 5-9 mA drain (current widget numbers). I upgraded to mattc 1.7 it jumped to 20 mA drain in standby. did a clean install of 1.7, still 20+ mA drain. went back to mattc 1.5b and drain was 20+ mA in standby. switched to mdeejay sense build 20mA drain in standby, formatted card several times no change. turns out that android was only charging battery to 96%. once I charged the phone in windows mobile to 100% both mattc anb mdeejay roms get 7 mA drain in standby. each time I notice an increase in battery drain (standby) android does not charge battery completely (when android charges to 96% I get 20+ mA drain in standby, when android charges to 94% I get 70+ mA drain); I simply charge battery in windows and battery drain goes back to normal. 20+ hours with moderate usage, 40+ hours light usage.

Fully Charge while Device is Off before first boot, then upon first boot go to terminal and enter these (without the quotes) and press enter after every line.
"su"
"rm /data/system/batterystats.bin"
Ensure that Keypad Lights are on when Haret is launched and you will be healed.
@ amcjungle -> terminal?!?!
Terminal emulator is an app. You can download it from the Market. A terminal is a way to gain access to a system.
@amcjungle: ok... thx for that info. Terminal is probably an app for windows mobile?
the last thing i dont really get to 100% is, what you want me to do with the Keypad Lights... they should be on ?!?
If you could make a screenshot or explain it, this would be christmas like!!
best wishes and thx for the help!!

Terminal is an app for android. What you would want to do is charge your phone completely while off or in windows mobile. Probably better while turned off, although that part I cannot confirm. So with your battery charged to 100% just press the call button or something to activate the keylights. so that call, windows, back, and all other buttons are lit. While they are lit up start android. They will turn off, but we want them on when haret loads. Once into android open terminal emulator or download it from the market. Then type in su to gain super user access and then the other command to clear the battery charge memory.
At times my standby voltage will go to 120ma and up. When it happens I open the process button on the Weather and News widget and I close every process that is running. After that I hold down the power button until the option to Power Off shows up on the screen. Once I power off the phone I just restart Winmo and Android normally and my standby voltage goes back to 6ma.
If I let it run at >120ma standby voltage the battery will be drained within 5-6 hours every time.

Dont use task killers unless you know what you are doing. They are mainly for apps that wont close (freeze) or apps that you yourself have opened. If you close system prosseses like weather, news, messaging, and so on you are only making things worse.
That's why you need to shutdown and restart phone after you close them. When you restart the phone the needed processes will be started too.
I've tried this with task killer and it does nothing, the only luck I've had has been with the process toggle on the Weather and News widget.
thx for giving me this detailed explanation!! i´ll try this and let you know how things are doing!!
Hi, I've tried exactly the method you said but when I type in the last line (ending batterystats.bin) it says its not found.
Have I done something wrong?

are you putting in a space after rm?
rm(space)/data/system/batterystats.bin
if you did then you do not have this file
when exactly are the keypad lights supposed to turn off? Mine seem to stay on indefinitely.
Still having Probs
Hey there. I,m having some issues with my battery too.
My Build belongs to Bangster (v 1.5) (great work) on ChuckyDroidROM Lite with Radio 2.15.50.14 running on Scandisk 8 gb class 2. Michi R11 AXI kernel.
I do not have several Sd cards to test consuption.
I read the Thereads about heavy battery drain for the last 4 days.
I tryed differend Radio Roms, i tryed different WM Roms (Flashing VBNROM AGAIN at the moment)
I tryed to fix the Keypad Lib, loaded my battery in win/off to 100 %, switched off all background services except 3g, do NOT have any taskillers or something (Android isnt meant to let tasks get killed by user i think)
I tryed to boot with Keypad lights on and use Set CPU as recommended with no overclocking.
i Use brightness lvl 25 %
BUT my battery drains at last with 60 ma (current widget) within 5-6 hours nearly to empty.
I dont know any further.
I rellay need my Phone with Sync to Google for more than that. Can't load my phone on German Autobahn (i'm slightly often there)
BUT i had a very good Battery life with mccmjohn's 2.5/VBN/2.14/Michi R11 in the end it was not stabel for me.
I dont have the time to try all the Builds with different Kernels in combination with all the WMRoms.
Can Pls someone help me????
PS: I dont want to annoy any of the devs, awesome work they did
i'm LeoDroid user since first Darksone build
On several occasions, after applying bstats.zip when at 100%, my phone shows only 60% battery afterr applying the zip.
Is this normal?
Also, as you might guess, having some general battery problems:
Rapid loss of battery reserve
Phone running "hot" when no visible programs are running
Difficulty getting phone back to 100%, even after several hours of charging.
Are there any suggestions on utilities to show
1) whether battery is holding a charge,
2) what programs are using up battery?

This is definitely not normal. There are several things to try:
1)in terminal emulator, type"su" then hit return to get superuser access, then run the command "dumpsys power". near the bottom is a command "mLocks.size=0"
This will list any wake locks, which drain battery by preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. (In the example, 0 means no wake locks)
2)try a different kernel, maybe an undervolted one. I recommend imnuts' 50uv pbj kernel found here:
https://sites.google.com/a/imnuts.net/android/kernels
(try the 4th one down in the list)
thanks
will give that a try...
wake locks
The following is captured from the emulator screen, there is more above it, but this appeared to be the section on wake locks:
mLocks.size=3:
PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'MAIL_SERVICE' activated (minState=0, uid=10212, pid=2731)
PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'CoreReceiver getWakeLock' activated (minState=0, uid=10092, pid=2731)
PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'NetworkLocation Check Location' activated (minState=0, uid=1000, pid=2731)
Not sure if it's good news or bad news..
Working to install the other kernel, as well.
It looks like you might be using an email client other than the stock one that is keeping your phone awake. If so, try uninstalling or disabling it for 24 hours and use your phone.
Hi, just updated to 2.3.3 stock rom, no flash, using the standard LG upgrade software, from v10q (I believe) to v20g.
I installed no new apps, didn't change a thing on my phone, but now my battery drains in 12h of no use, screen off.
Battery information says the phone never goes to sleep anymore, the blue bar is continuous.
I've tried shutting down running apps using both the phone's built in app manager and Advanced Task Killer, doesn't change a thing.
Searching the forums, I've found people with battery drain, but never the same issue or solution so I'm hoping someone might know something more on my specific situation.
Here's how I use my phone and what apps I generally have running:
Audio Manager Console and Advanced Task Killer are always running, I keep data off most of the time, and turn it on when I use it occasionally (usually no more than a few minutes at a time), no wi-fi, most of the phone usage comes from Think Free Office (at least since I upgraded 2 days ago) and a few minutes of calls. Brightness is always on min.
This is mostly how I generally use my phone all the time (throw in a couple of hours a day of Bluetooth music using the default music player, but this hasn't been the case since the update) and I used to recharge every 2-3 days. Now it's 2 times a day.
Before the upgrade my phone would barely burn any battery in idle (maybe 1-2% during the 12 hours, as opposed to 94% as it currently does)
Battery health seems fine, temperature is around 20-25C
What can I do?

Thanks, will try, update results
I'VE FOUND A WORKAROUND of this no-push-notif during deep sleep problem.
Earlier, I tried holding partial wakelock so the device never sleep, this of course works alright, but drains battery very rapidly (5% / 30mins).
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
So, I tried something else :
automatically waking up the device regularly every 30mins, with the help of Tasker (which doesn't turn on the screen at all).
The result is :
7 hours after screen off and a good night sleep, in the morning I sent myself a BBMsg and it arrived perfectly in about 5 secs.
Battery consumption is totally acceptable : only 4% drop during 7 hours (dual sim ON, data ON).
That's days ago, and still works perfectly until now, I'm happy with it, so I'd like to share the AWESOMENESS.
I'm not sure about push notif from Google servers via GCM, I don't use any app which takes advantage of GCM, I only use BBM which uses its own servers.
In this case, you should first try adjusting heartbeat interval using PushNotificationFixer (which can't help me since it only resends heartbeat to Google server).
Tasker setup :
1. create new profile : Time
* uncheck both start & end time (so it starts and ends from midnight to midnight)
* check Repeat : every 6 minutes (during deep sleep, this 6 mins expands 5x to 30 mins)
2. add new task :
what you do in this task doesn't really matter, the point is to do something in a regular interval (I only use Alert Morse, so I know that the profile is still running)
GODSPEED !!!!
PS. :
if you're not familiar with Tasker, after installation you have to :
1. allow it as admin (system Settings > Device Administrators)
2. turn on its service (system Settings > Accessibility)
3. put it on auto-start list
Hello forum,
background info:
I have a rare Pansonic Android 5.0.2 phone (DMC-CM1) with an excellent camera, what is the reason why I want to keep this device.
There are NO custom roms available and no info about key combinations on how to get into stock recovery mode. I can go there with adb of course.
I found a key combination to get into fastboot, but Wiping cache/data to reset the device apparently did nothing, even if wating for hours. It seems as well as if Panasonic tampered with the stock bootloader :/ This is why I had to send it to service (adb was not enabled before).
They reflashed the device with 4.4.4 and I installed the updates to 5.0.2 OTA. Everything seemed fine until...
present problem:
...now I have a strange battery drain. Bevor I sent it it, I had about 2-3 days usage time with average usage, a little messageing, a few fotos. I do not use the phone much.
Now I get a maximum of around 16-20 hours out of it while it is just resting on the table. It also gets warm.
what have I done so far:
- I rooted the device and installed better battery stats from the forum here. It shows around 8-10% usage per hour. Before the problem showed, I had 1-2% usage.
- I uninstalled EVERY own installed app and even booted into safe mode -> same problem
- I disabled all google app packages -> same problem, but improved it a little
When I check the battery via android settings, it is telling me that "android-system" is using >20% of the battery. In active apps I can see this app is running the fast dormancy service. When I kill this service and force the complete app to stop, it gets _a little_ better, around 5-6% usage.
I recently killed forced stop on all services that where not qualcom or seemed essential to me and disables wifi and bluetooth and over night usage dropped to <1%/h, which seemed the problem could lie somewhere with services.
However using adb shell and pulling "top" info, I dont see a process using much CPU.
What else have I noticed, which might be unrelated:
-After charging I see a 100% wakelock from qpnp-charger, that disappears only after rebooting. Might indicate that something with qualcom is "wrong".
-I set wifi to be _never_ be running in sleep mode. Better battery stats is telling me, that wifi is 100% of the time running, even if I can see the symbol for wifi is not showing and comes up a few seconds after I wake the phone
You can see, I might need help on how to identify the problem here.
Any hints, tips, advice?
Please excuse my "messy" english, it is not my native language.
regards
Stefan
