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.

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?

Hello, I managed to install the actual CM6 on my X10i(flashed to .58), but now I have the battery drain Problem... lost 20% in 40 minutes... :S
Flashed it actually down to .54, doesn't look much better...
yes, I did read this advice:

If anyone is having any issues i suggest you try this!

, but here's my problem... I have no plan, how to reinstall the OS, google and Forum search did not help... tried SEUS, tells me, I have the actual software and does nothing more...
so, I would be really thankfull, if someone could post a noob-friendly tutorial for this...
When you connect to SEUS, once it detects the phone, it will notify you about your current OS and it will also give you the option to reinstall the OS, which will result in the loss of all your apps. You will also lose root. So you'll have to do that again.
But before you do anything, give the ROM some time to settle down. Many people on wolf's ROM have observed better battery life after its been allowed to discharge a couple of times.
It has also been said that the .58 basebrand could have possible quick battery drain.
Had this issue too, the only way I found to resolve it was to start from scratch; i.e. back up, re-flash from seus, root and so on. Works a treat, though it's a pain...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't is just easier to go to xrecovery, factory reset, wipe all stats and caches and reinstall the ROM. Is there any advantage to reflashing 2.1 first?
Tried just re-flash, no joy; still high battery drainage. I've found that in a few roms, if you re-flash the same one you get issues...!

yeah, debranded to .54 yesterday, first seemed to be the same, but now, 7 hours without recharge, 59% left, listened a bit to music, did some installations and some short calls in this time... so, it's close to the unmodified performance and not critical anymore... gues, with the cracked bootloader we will get an update soon, with no more problems like this
My battery is fine and I used. 54 BASEBAND. I SUGGEST FLASHING THAY BASEBAND ON. And you should have no problems. I have had my phone off charge for 6 hours now and I have been on the phone, listened to music, watched a few video's and been on XDA app and my battery has only dropped 31% so mine is fine. Hope it works and if not PM me and I will see what I can do

I'll keep this for some time, maybe it all will be fixed soon...
Xrecovery
I flashed the stock rom, rooted an everything else. When I try to boot into Xrecovery, I can't. I tried reinstalling Xrecovery, but it wouldn't take. Anybody have any ideas? I want to put Wolf's rom back on my phone, but I am stuck in stock 2.1 right now.

you will have to manually place those xrecovery files in the respective folders using root explorer. Thats the only way to make it work.
Take them from the SD card and put them in system/bin?
Edit: I got it now. Thanks for your help!
What busybox is installed on your phone. Is it v1.8 or higher if not you need to install that again using busybox installer if that fails then you will need to do what the last post says. Hope this helps.

It could be that you have a similar chipset that my x10 came with.
these are usually defunct and should have the mother board swapped by SE.
Trust me when they sold the x10 alot of damaged motherboards made it on the market.
Pathetic battery life or restarts are symptoms of these crappy boards.
Just wanted to ask...i read that wolfbreak rom battery life will get better if u use it for a couple of days..i wanted to ask do we still to do the wipe battery stat in xrec and discharge and charge the phone a couple of time or just let the system running...i ussualy charge my phone at night witout switching the phone off..is this ok..previously on 4.5 rom,the battery was great...
well,.. I actually just let the system run and I still have great battery life...but usually it's best to discharge the battery a couple of times...
Try wiping battery stats

already wipe the battery stats a couple of time...well..i just need to wait a couple of days and see how its work...now i try to discharge and charge the battery...
today,i charged my phone for 5 hours after discharging the battery to 1% last night...then,after plug out the cable,i turn on the phone and my phone fully charge..then,i wipe the batt stat using xrec and restart my phone...after restarting,my battery indicate 1%....why is this happening...try to wipe again,the same thing happen...then,i decided to recharge while the phone is on..after 20 minutes of charging,my battery rise to 79%..what does this mean?
You mean discharge and recharge fully a few times....

Please check your battery usage info in the settings. There is a very well known bug related to Wifi Sharing eating your battery, even if you did not enable Wifi Sharing.
If your phone gets hot, and battery drains very quickly (in 1-2 hours), this is most probably related to the Wifi Sharing bug.
You can freeze wifi sharing if you have a rooted device, or you will need to check your battery usage info from time to time(mostly when you feel your phone becomes hot even when it stays in your pocket) and force stop Wifi sharing if it starts to show up.
Hope this helps
If this is not the case with you, I do not have a clue

This is the "Question & Answers" section and is the correct place for this thread. The Development forum is for people releasing development work and should not be used to ask questions. The reason you can't post in there till you have 10 posts is in the hope that you'll understand what the forums are for by the time you can post in there.

Was just an example. If I dial any mmi code, will get a message like: "mmi code invalid or inserted wrong".
Am I right that the new custom 2.3.4 ROM (Villain, Darky...) are not using a 2.3.4 Kernel only the 2.3.4 firmware and radio? So this might not improve battery life significantly since it is still an old Kernel.
The battery drain bug could therefore only be solved with a 2.3.4 Kernel.
I am new to Android, so are my assumptions right?

I was using LiteningRom for a couple of weeks and when I saw 2.3.4, I tried to update ROM asap. But I couldn't even flash it with Odin as the whole process freezes in the middle...
Few hours later, I achieved installing a 2.3.4 ROM (Infusion) and I'm on it since yesterday. As far as I can see, there's absolutely nothing better in battery management : AOS is still in top of battery usage after moderate usage.
With my SGS, 2.3.4 had solved battery drain, it seems with SGSII it's not the same. But as Schindler33 said, maybe it's because of the kernel.
Wait for the official firmware to come out over kiss and then we can all see if battery life is improved.
Yep, it seems the leaked version is really NOT a final one ^_^
Hope the final will solve this battery drain
hey,
I bought a month ago a new vibrant from the states and I installed Bionix rom and then Honeybee.
I have 2 problems with the battery:
the first one is when I'm rebooting the cellphone the percents of the battery status get down by 10-30%, for example: I had 45% and then after the reboot I got 22%, sometimes it's even fell to 0%.
the second one is that the battery is working only within 5-5 and half hours max with no Wi-Fi and normal-less usage, the display is taking at least 80% of my battery (as it write on the setting option), I do have juice defender and I tried to find out what application taking so much battery but no success (I used some programs like watchdog lite and etc.).
I tried to change the battery the other ones (even battery that works great on the I-9000).
**I've tried to calibrate the battery more than once.
anybody has some suggestions?

if you save them to the sim it wont matter
or back up contacts/calls with titanium backup, cant restore it on any other version though, just 2.2.1 if thats what honeybee is
back up anything else you want with titanium, preferable not system data unless you're just going to restore it to that version

Best way in my opinion is just to make sure you save everyone as a Google contact. That way they are backed up and restored automatically.

try calibrating again, charge full, unplug, if it drops, plugin again, keeps repeating this till it stays at 100
then use a calibration app

or boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
or do it through root explorer and reboot
it'll take a few charge cycles to settle in, charge full, run all the way down till its completely dead, charge full, run all way down again
alright, so I calibrated my cellphone and it is still with the battery problem... is it possible that there is an hardware problem?

With the amount of battery threads that come up on this site it is surprising you haven't bumped into the routine of downloading betterbatterystats and seeing what is keeping your phone awake. You should also see if this happens on a fresh install with NONE of your apps installed. Completely stock with your contacts synced.
your issue sounds reasonable my device was awake on the 4/29 build, its best to talk about nightly builds in the discussion thread,charge it up and see whats keeping it awake
you wont get help without this

Cyanogen9 is still deep in beta, that means it isn't finished, that means if you have a problem it's because the ROM isn't perfect. Why would you make a forum post about this? It happened once, not even a few times, why the **** would you make a post about something that happened once and you have done nothing to get to the bottom of it? Seriously what.
There are many stable Custom ROM of Android 4.0.x that you can use instead of CM9 'Nightly Builds'....

See this. While this isn't currently a "what's the best ROM" thread, the very nature of your question will result in the same debate those types of threads tend to generate.
Someone could really like a ROM and suggest it to you, and you try it, and you might decide it sucks. Try ROMs out yourself until you find one you like. Don't be lazy.

Hello
I updated my Galaxy S2 via Odin(PC) from Stock 4.0.4 to Stock 4.1.2. All went fine, phone works smooth and fast. But there was a massive battery drain. Therefore i wiped data/cache, did a factory reset, everything is new an fresh. Phone still works smooth and fast but battery drain doesn't change. Take a look at the screenshot. Is there something i can check and change?
Thanx in advance.

Thanx for your reply. But i cannot confirm that. Never had such a behavior. Flashed a few ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 Roms and either thery're draining or not unless i'm able to change or fix somthing. It never improves on its own. Maybe it's my bad luck only.

Yes i will.
But, generally, flashing different Roms causes different issues. Reading solutions based on different ROMs, Custom ROMs, etc. isn't very helpful. There may be general solutions for this damn battery draining problem. But until now nothing fits to me.
In the end i hope to find a solution or i will go back to ics.
Have a nice day

Your absolutly right, i read many problems, but with those stats are weird.
1) Just try to re-flash the ROM and after go to recovery and clear everything(dalvik, data etc).
2) Use the option to reboot.
3) Turn off phone -> remove the battery -> Try to turn the phone ON without battery one or 2 times -> wait 2-5minutes more without doing nothing -> Battery back in.
4) Charge up to 100% (when the icon appears).
5) Wait for 1-3 cycles and check if its ok.
6) If you have media draining check my signature link.
Issue solved, probably
I probably solved my battery drain issue while doing what CrisR82 suggested in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37227296&postcount=10017
" Battery drain is caused by a permanent wake-lock (I had that issue).
For everyone with that problem, here's what I did and got rid of it:
1 - fully drain your battery (0%, to the point where it won't power-on at all)
2 - recharge your battery without turning on the phone
3 - go to recovery mode and wipe both data and cache
NOTE: backup all your contacts, messages, whatever...this will delete everything!
(I formatted my USB storage aswell before step 1, but I think that's not necessary)
No wake-lock for me, 17 hours use, 12% battery down (only checking the clock every once in a while)."
As it seems it worked for me also. Did it yesterday evening and keep in mind i did a factory reset therefore i had to reinstall everything. Battery is behaving normally again.
Maybe this helps the one or the other.

Now, right solution
Ok, my mistake!
At first it seems that there is an improvment in battery life like i said in the above post. There is ... but slightly. Not enough, not acceptable at all.
To make it short.
I did a clean install. That's it. Wiped everthing, pumped the battery up to 100% and flashed Samsung Stock jb 4.1.2 again. And it works now.
Thanks all for your advice.

I can confirm this.. I also did full data wipe on ICS 4.0.4 then flash to 4.1.2 JB and again full data wipe after first boot on 4.1.2 JB..
My first battery cycle went up to 2d 11h 34m 12s.. now im on my second cycle.. so far is 61% 1d 2h 39m 24s..
I hope this will help.. :fingers-crossed:

Me again.
My battery drained in 21 hours even after reinstalled everything after a full wipe. Couldn't find out what process caused the drain. Used bbs and its stats say android os, screen and Android in sleepmode is using most of the battery.
I'm back on 4.0.4 now. Waiting for next jb version.

Thought I should share that I tried the same and face the same issue. Before JB, on completely stock 4.0.4 (no root), I would charge after three full days (72 hrs). Moderate/normal use - no heavy gaming. Under JB it drained in less than 24 hrs with very moderate use - mostly idle. Back on ICS i now get the same battery time as before.
I should add that my phone came new with ICS 4.0.4 installed. Two friends of mine have upgraded theirs all the way from GB -> ICS -> JB and they exeperience significant battery improvement. Being a noob, I don't understand whether this makes any difference. Simply coincidence?
All the best.

New ROMs are always smoother than previous ones, once you flash em you get in cant-put-it-down mode. You need at least 1 week to judge battery life on any ROM. A couple of days to set it up and a few days to see how it behaves.
Once you get things going you never go back, that's a fact.
Be careful on 4.0.4.
