Using BAMF 1.5 remit and my battery is staying at 100 after I leave it. Unless the battery life is ridiculously better or something is wrong. Doing a calibration starting this morning, but I have a feeling its not going to work. Any suggestions? Reflash Rom? Kernel?

Mine has been at 100% for an hour on 1.6 ghz so sounds like it's just awesome battery life haha

Have y'all wiped battery stats?

Right after I installed 1.5 the same thing happened to me, it stayed at 100% for hours. Now that I've wiped battery stats and flashed 1.5 several different times (tried out every version) - it goes down normally. I have to say though, the battery does last longer and doesn't seem to require the hours and hours of charging it did before.
I'm down to 75% after a little over 3 hours. I'm on CDMA auto. How the hell are you guys still at 100% after an hour? I dropped down to about 90 within the first hour.

I am using bionix v and people are reporting 20+ hours of battery life using the battery left widget.. and when using my battety left widget (nearly fully calibrated) it tells me I have 9 hours left.. what's the deal? Is this a battery issue, and could I need a replacement. I have had battery issues with nearly all of my roms in the past. I guess it could be a conditioning issue. Please help

Not possible by someone who actually uses there phone. I never thought I was a heavy user but seeing replies like above I have to be past the definition of heavy user. With my extended battery I could get 2.5 days on a single charge.
Im also having battery drain with bionix newest rom. Nothings changed in my day-day usage. probably flash another modem or something.
I think I might switch to stock froyo if things don't get better. Or just order a new battery. Because it just drops like a rock. And im using watchdog but it doesn't really help that much. Or could someone with experience with battery drain guide me on how to stop it from happening?

Yes I got it from t-mobile but I have not used stock long enough to see whether it was just a rom issue. I have only flashed team whiskeys roms and they seem to kill my battery. Nero v3 was the best but still wasn't great. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and maybe use the phone to get on xda, engadget, facebook, etc for about 1 hour, But my battery drops like a rock when I do this. And ever since bionix v it has only gotten worse. From that one hr of usage it drops 40 percent. Is hsdpa that big of a battery-killer? Because on wifi it seems to do a little better. Idk if this is just a network issue or what? Like right now it dropped 2 percent just from typing this up. brightness is less than half and everything is set to manually refresh. Wth?

Had terrible battery life as well with bionix v. Double checked to see if anything was running in the background and reconditioned my battery. Even then I was still getting atrocious battery life.

Well I am having the same problem, except I am on the stock rom, and have never wiped my battery data. I am however rooted, and removed some of the verizon bloat (e.g. blockbuster, ect). Stock battery as well. The indicator and widgets will show the correct percentage on boot, but will not update after that.
I noticed it last night when I was trying different battery widgets. I have tried removing them, rebooting, nothing seems to help.
***UPDATE***
I think I fixed my problem, i'm not sure if they are all related, but here is what I found. I noticed I was getting a force close by SuperUser. So I force stopped it and cleared its data. Did a reboot and now all seems well. No force closed and the indicator appears to be updating.
I'm using battery left widget its fixing my battery metter

Ive been having this with every rom, well virus roms for sure, I just drain the battery all the way down until it dies, then after i fully charge it, it refreshes... goodluck
Hi guys,
Has anyone else been experiencing less than satisfactory battery life upon installing the GB update? This morning after I took my unit off of its charging dock it was fine. An hour later in the office (with no incoming calls or other usage by me) and the damn thing dropped to 80%!! That has never happened before. Is there an add-in or something to counteract this drainage?
HELP.
TIA
The "Soak Testers" have been warned that there is a lot of syncing that goes on the first day of a build, and since these are all totally clean installs, the battery info could be off. Wait a couple days and see what happens.
I had the same issues. I calibrated the battery this morning on a full charge and it is much better.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
Been on the stock release since Friday & my battery has steadily improved. Im going on 14hrs off the charger with 20% left. This is better than my fascinate on cm7.
Edit: sorry, just saw this was for the prerooted release.

I have actually seen a boost in battery life. While i was on 2.2 I did all that i could to get through 3/4 of a day on a full charge. Now, with similar usage, I have been going to bed with 50% battery remaining.
On the topic of battery life, I have been playing around with Juice Defender Plus. Essentially it turns off my 3G and wifi radios when my screen is off. Does anyone know if that constant turning on and off of the radios uses more battery than if i just leave them on?
I bet I have at least 20 things I froze on titanium backup..
so sad all this **** is on this phone

When i got the X2 I would get the low battery alarm between 4 and 5 pm under moderate use on average. I purchased the BH6X battery, which allowed me to get to the end of the day with 30 - 40 % usually. Since the update, I'm back to gettting the low battery notification by dinner time. I reset my battery stats yesterday, hopefully we'll see an improvement in the next couple days.
Usage: 40% screen, 30% phone idle, 7% cell standby...
I ordered that battery last night, should be interesting

P3 didn't modify how the phone handles battery life, people have this issue on both versions, I read another post that said if there is any remnants of 2.2.2 on the phone it may be causing this, I think that is why they recommend you sbf, factory reset, wipe all caches, then update, if you have the time/ energy try it and let us know how it works.

Hey guys does gb or ics make a different in battery life and if it does how big is the difference and does stock gb give the most battery life or does a Rom i know you Guys don't like Threads about roms and there battery life sorry but this is just generally ics stock or gingerbread rooted i spend alt of time on the internet and Im in jersey so i don't use lte i use hspa + so what's the best way i can get the max out of.my battery thanks

gb, but custom kernels with undervolting with increase battery even more. ICS will be even better once source drops and we have custom kernels for that as well. This is because ics can clock lower and still be smooth due to the gpu rendering that is finally integrated, and should've been done that way since day one. But until then definitely gb.

It depends honestly. Somedays with ics i have high standby drain and apps galore sucking my battery down, other days I get almost 4 hours screen time.
Dags alpha2 seems a bit better than alpha1. I dunno about seraphim, I promptly returned to to alpha1 once I seen baby blue text on white in my apps.
I'd rather keep charging than deal with GB.

What are you under volting 1.5 and below to? And when you say what you are over volting 1.82 is it the only one over 1.5 that you are over volting or are you over volting everything from 1.5 to 1.82?
Also can you list what you're over volting and under volting to? I'd like to try to see if I can get the same results.

Currently on ics alpha 2 so no kernel to do this.
When on GB i was using DaG's OC kernel (or dagr8's sorry getting them confused right now, tired will check and edit l8r). J only overvolted the 1.82 setting. As for undervolting i pretty much looked ar what cpuspy said were the most used and using systemtuner set those down one notch on the slider. The ones used less frequently i set 1-2 notches down on slider. only methodology i used and was done over a period of time pushing to see if any problems/fc's occurred. Never really got to the point where that occurred as the ics leak came out and i jumped to it. Did not make a screen capture of system tuner settings or keep a list of final changes.
Oh yeah, i also get the min frequency to 192 and that seemed to quite a bit especially when apps were forcing 'stay awake' mode. That, i feel, is the biggest difference between my GB battery life and ics. I can get 1 day out of ics with 3-4 hours screen time but sometimes an app will force stay awake and the drain is quicker.
Biggest battery saver for me is using wife vs lte. <<wifi i mean word completion error but don't mind using wife sometimes too

Ffs can we not have a battery life thread started every single day?
Battery life is the most subjective thing, it all depends on how you use your phone, what apps you have installed running in the background, what you have synced, location services. Etc...
No 2 people well have the same drain.
I'm on stock ROM and subscribe to Rogers Toronto. I get about 4 hours too.... My usage sounds similar to yours as well. Thanks I will pick up extra battery soon.
Been using my s4 for a while now and was wondering if my battery life is considered normal. My battery drains about 1% every 1-2 minutes while using it even if I'm just flipping through the app drawer and also drains 1% every 20-45 minutes when the screen is off. I'm running CleanRom 1.5 R2 De-odex and have greenified a few apps such as Facebook and Google+. Not sure if this is normal or not since I came from an iPhone 4.

Well, when I'm using my phone it drops about 12% every hour(screen on whole time) and about 1%-2% every hour when im not using it at all. Usually I have my brightness up halfway and i have force gpu rendering turned on which has greatly improved my battery life. Sounds like you're losing maybe 30% every hour of on screen time? I also have max 4 processes at a time.

The first thing that should probably be asked is if you were having these problems before cleanrom. If not, it may have just been a bad download/flash.
