Using the app "Battery Monitor Widget" I have determined the following....
My Droid X sleeps at -5 mA while sleeping.
My T-Bolt sleeps at -48 mA or more (usually much more) while sleeping.
Both phones run Gingerbread.
Both phones have the same apps, running.
Why does the T-Bolt draw so much more mA's?
I've turned off the 4G radio and it didn't help.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
Your T-Bolt is not alone, mine runs in the -40's too. Recently into the high -30's with some undervolting. What rom and kernel are you using? I am on CM7.
GingerBamf Remix with Imoseyon 2.5.3test7 running Extreme and Interactive.
i have very bad standbye life on mine running BAMF froyo versions too. I really want to know what is causing the horrible drain. Nothing really shows up as keeping the phone awake or anything.
I noticed this the other night. I went to sleep around 3:30am (...after tending to crying daughter) at about 50% battery and woke up at 7am to a dead TB. Plugged TB and checked System Panel app and saw my battery drain in about 2 hours with no device usage at that time span but 10% cpu activity while in sleep mode. I have been keeping WiFi on at the house lately which has helped on battery life when connected but have also noticed my TB having a hard time connecting to Wifi when I get back home or waking out of sleep mode. Does Wifi connection cycle in sleep mode if it is having a hard time connecting? Also had two reboots for no reason the last few days as well. I love this TB but these little annoyances are.....well annoying!
Every time I root, I end up going back to stock. To me, it seems to runs smoother and with better battery life than any Rom and kernel mix I've tried.
My phone lasts me all day with some texting, web surfing, playing music, a few calls, some tethering, and some YouTube. When I plug my phone in at night I'm usually down to 40% give or take.
I also use green power to manage my data and WiFi. It works great.
Over night I might loose 1% but thats it.
Just my opinion.

Hey guys what's a good app that you use to track that information for your battery discharge rate?
Nvm lol just reread your post. Thanks.
SETCPU
Im assuming your rooted if so install SETCPU and in Profiles you can turn the voltage all the way down on the "Screen Off" option but make sure you check the ENABLE box and after you wake the phone up if it seems to be a little choppy just go back to SETCPU and check the ENABLE box again which will disable it, works for me
I am running stock Rom with basic tweaks (display, background data) and just uninstalled the task manager I was using and improved my battery life by 30%. I now go almost all day with moderate use with out having to recharge.

So, I went to sleep at full charge, took it off the charger to see how my drain was....I woke up 6 hours later and it was at 64%. I took a look at partial wake locks and it looks as follows (I can't upload .png from my phone)
RILJ (Dialer) 205s count 2178
juicedefender 3019s count 1570
Alarm manager 1543s count 1320
Google services event log also has a pretty high count. I ran the "battery fix" and all that jazz,recalibrated my battery,not sure why drain is so terrible?
Could someone please help me out?
I am running cm7 with faux 0.2.0 1.3 kernel. I have it undervolted and profiles so it never goes above 1ghz unless on ac charger. (456 when screen is off)
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm not sure how much it helps you with your issue, but for me JuiceDefender works very well. I would otherwise have a multitude of data sync apps such as Gmail running, and this limits it while periodically enabling sync.
Start tweaking what apps are using data and the battery life will be better.
I have had a problem the same where I am not so sure juicedefender is helping because I tend to set my phone on the desk when I do homework and the screen comes on after I put into sleep mode and then no more that 5 seconds later it turns on at about 25% screen brightness then jumps to 100% them dims to 25% then goes off, all in a matter of between 10-20seconds. I loom at the battery use area in settings and standby is at least 40% & display is right under and idle is next. my settings that I think may be causing this are the mobile data where the autosync is set at enable (in juice defender) & I tried ping but it does the same thing. I just want to know why the screen comes on ever 5 seconds. I don't know how to contact the developer to try and resolve my problem. I am actually on a thunderbolt but that shouldn't matter. I just wanted to reinforce that "i'm not sure juice defender is working as I get about the same battery life".
Xoom Xoom
I get double the life out of the same roms. I'll try a rom for a day then run juice defender and get a day and a half. Depends on how you have defender setup. The only thing I don't like it doing is disabling my wifi as It sometimes won't reconnect back unless I manually do it. I think setcpu is a joke though. I had it set for 216/456 at screen off and it was running at 1200 for 1/2 the time it was supposed to be asleep. Then whne I opened it up...(Battery less than 50% stay below 1000) and the screen booted up 1300. So to me it's an extra service I don't need.
JD has always given me more battery life on any rom that I have tried.. I recently got rid of it and am trying out GreenPower. so far GP seems to work a bit better than JD. I get a bit more life out of my batter than JD gave me.. try green power out if JD is not cutting it for you.. GP seems a bit lighter as well.. so, could be overall why get more battery life out of it..

Juice Defender seemed to do little to nothing for my phone. I got rid of it and my battery life remained the same. I can't say the same for everyone else but what works for you might not work for the next guy.
All I'm simply saying is give it a shot and test it out religiously before you make a decision to use it or not.
Works for me another good thing to do if you use set CPU underclock the hell out of it when the screen is off not using it so why not

I have JD configured to run my syncs once every 15 minutes for 1 minute. It is also disabling mobile data while the screen is off and wifi when inactive for 1 minute.
Not sure what else I should do here? Should I re-flash CM7 with the battery @ 100%?

Install the battery calibration app and see if your charge at 100% shows 4000mV+, if it doesn't, that means your calibration is off and you need to search for juggernaut's battery thread and follow the instructions on that to fix your calibration.

Barely saw any gain using JD...only used it on my Dell Streak though. The atrix will go 2 days if I need it to so I don't see any need for JD.
I m using JD for nearly 2 years now and I have to say that it DEFINITLY improves battery-life - just by letting it switch off your 3G when you don´t need it you save a lot of juice.
When I still used my Captivate as my DD, JD helped alot. With all the firmware leaks I was reflashing my phone all the time and constantly testing different kernels/roms/apps for battery life.
On my Atrix, it hasn't seemed to help nearly as much. Not sure why... SetCPU with faux's OC/UV kernel has boosted battery significantly though.
I got lots of wakelocks using it. For me it's better to turn off data manually.

Interesting. I'll have to try green power. JD said my battery multiplier was 2.10x when I used it. It could just be making that up though. I got 28 hours of life from the atrix and still had 40% battery left (moderate usage: frequent texting and periodic data+wifi usage, I think a 20-30 minute phone call too)
I swtiched to green power. Didn't notice much of a difference in battery life, but Gp is certainly a lot easier to use.
Just curious what everyone's overnight battery drain was using CM7. The lowest mine will go is 10% over about 8-10 hours of non use, only one gmail account syncing, nothing else. This is using every variation of CM7 (stable, nightlies, and weekly's)
Using the new 2.3.5 fruitcake I am get a consistent overnight drain of only 3%.
I have tried everything possible to match that, but I'm beginning to think it's not possible.
i only have facebook but log out when i go to bed yet my phone still drains at least 10 percent every hour haha
I'm loosing also between 8 and 10% of battery overnight. I tried to optimize it in anyway including reducing brightness, deactivate services etc but still the same result. This is something which I hate with CM7 previously I used SGS and I had the same problem there. I don't know if it is a general CM problem or just these two phones.
Strange

That's really weird. Ever since I've started using different versions of CM7 I've averaged 2-3% drain overnight. This was both on the stock kernel and faux's enhanced stock. Only thing I would do before bed is turn airplane mode on.
Lately, it's been 3-4% drain overnight but that's probably because I've been installing a lot of apps (Can't pass up those $0.10 deals). Even after switching to Clemsyn's 1.0GHz kernel I'm getting the same amount of drain. Have you guys tried flashing a new radio or setting up SetCPU profiles?
Attached pic is with a little over 2 hours screen time.

I imagine the op is not refering to stand-by in flight mode. Personally, if the phone is in flight mode sat at my side while I sleep then I might as well switch it off.
My battery drain is probably around 15% over 10 hours on Ba2tF, Faux enhanced stock. That is with 3G on and background data, including syncing gmail/contacts etc. It is certainly higher drain than I would like and was getting on stock Froyo.
However, I think ~2 days standby is not ridiculous - 1% per hour will get you over 4 days which I think sounds reasonable. We all fall foul of spending hours of our time trying to squeeze a bit more life out of our phones but most people reviewing them these days are quite understanding: "the battery life was OK - it got us through a day's use"...
Yes I agree but we have a great large battery and still can't get better life. Is it the CPU draining the battery so much? When I'm on 3G and using the phone actively during the day the battery last for no more than 10 hours. There should be a reason why the CM7 is draining the battery faster and this is what wir are trying to realize. If it was 10-15% more than ok but it is almost 50% more than a Stock ROM

I'd agree except I use my phone as my alarm clock , but point taken. Without airplane mode it would be 5% tops.

It seems that new build of GB gets pretty awesome battery life compared to most older builds or custom roms. I believe Nottach pointed this out when he initially started playing around with it for Darkside. If you haven't tried re-flashing your radio, I would definitely give that a shot. (should be in the OP of the CM7 thread)
I don't think that flashing new Radio will solve the problem. CM7 doesn't come with Radio anyway. Initially I though that the problem is in RIL but after suspending all the data transfer for a night without any change I'm not so convinced that this is the problem. Unfortunately the CM7 mail client is also not perfect and after removing it I'm getting slightly better battery life.
Just for the information.
I loose 3-4% per night (7-8h) in airplane mode.
Weekly 3, Clemsys 1.4 Elite version with a more aggressive memory timings, set at 1GHz and UV with SetCPU .
Good for me.
3-4% in Airplain mode is not an option. We are trying to figure out where is the leakage. I'm pretty sure that it is a common for all CM7 branches.
I lose 1 percent overnight with everything off. No wifi or data is on and nothing syncing in the background. I have never had a phone with such amazing battery life. Not even the old Nokia 3310 or Sony Ericsson K800i compare to this. I am pleasantly surprised.

+1. This is where I'm at after leaving wi-fi and sync on the last couple of nights.
I have a stock SGS2 with a lot of widgets running. I use BetterBatteryStats and have removed the high power usage apps.
Past few days, the phone uses a lot of battery at night. Yesterday it had 32% battery and when i woke up it was dead.
Are the rest of you also seeing this much battery consumption every night ?
Funnily enough I've had exactly the same issue since about a week ago. Even when I take it off charge it's almost immediately down to around 80%. It's lasting around 4-5 hours, even when I'm not using the phone much, plus it gets really hot.
A couple of times Social Hub has appeared high up on the list of battery draining apps, although I don't use it. It doesn't always show up though. I switched to the CF-Root kernel and started using GO Launcher EX recently and wondered if that (or one of it's addon widgets) could be the cause.
It's really bugging me now!
I gave up with the stock S2. Rooted it and flashed MIUI to it along with the Siyah Kernel. Now it uses only 6% for the whole night. Battery usage is so much better now.
People having issues with battery should try the siyah kernel and change governors (unless some app was draining your battery)
yeah, actually some new users will experience battery problem. however, some says that when time goes by, the problem eventually sorted out itself.
i am guessing the phone need "warm up time"
I had the same problem with stock rom. you have to remove the preinstalled useless samsung apps. then battery consumption is better.
i am now on cm7. everything is working and around 8% per night with a lot of background processes (tasker, lbe, scheduled titanium backup).
Don't always turn on wifi or data unless necessary.Turn off background sync.This should help a lot even u r using stock rom.Kill tasks with built-in task manager.Make sure useless apps are not running in background.
With these tips,my s2 with rooted stock rom and stock kernel only consumed 3% of battery all night .
i keep wifi or gprs on for instant messaging needs. The Siyah kernel and the lulz governor give amazing battery life because process runs at lower clocks instead of jumping to 1200 unnecessarily.
The stock kernels aren't too bad in my experience.
I think you will find your battery drain will be caused by rogue apps before the kernel.
Edit: why have this phone if your going to turn off gsm and data etc. May aswel turn the phone right off and have zero drain overnight.
A drain of 1-3% per hour with everything turned on is normal for me.

I'm using the Neutrino ROM right now. My phone will get very hot after a while, usually during browsing and the battery will drain extremely quick. It use to not do this. I thought it might be Dolphin HD browser I was using but it does the same with Opera mini.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? It never did this before and I'm only half way through my day and it's already at 40%. I use to be able to get through my entire work day and still be in the good 60-70%...
I had this same issue when I first got my Atrix and it started happening after I rooted it and customized it. Even after a factory reset, it still ran hot and the battery drained quickly.
I ended up performing a complete factory reset and took the phone back to get it replaced. The replacement worked just fine, even after rooting it and doing the same customizations I had done with the first one.
If you just got it, I would suggest taking it back and getting it replaced with another one. It could just be a bad battery.
My 2 cents!
Here are a few things to help you diagnose your battery drain issue.
Download "CPU Spy" from the market. This program will show you how long your cpu has spent in each of it's various clock states. This program does not reset it's data until you reset it, and your phone's cpu will not sleep while charging. So charge the phone then open the program and reset timers. Now wait a while and check the stats. Your cpu should be going into "Deep sleep" mode most of the time you are not using it. If it is not 75% or more deep sleep after a couple hours, or if it shows deep sleep under unused clock states then you have some condition (probably an app) keeping it awake.
If you have an app keeping your phone awake you need to determine which one is doing it. This can be done by backing them all up with titanium and deleting a few then testing (takes forever,) or by way of another program. I use a program called "better battery stats" from the market, which is a paid app. This app gives you information on wakelocks, partial wakelocks, and processes that are running. It can be used to find the process responsible, which you then trace back to the app that is using it.
I found out about all this when K9 mail was running away with me. It wasn't too bad as long as I was connected to wifi, but while traveling it would constantly use a very small amount of data and refuse to let the cpu sleep. I deleted it and for about 2 months now I get home after 12 hours with 60-70% or more battery life and about an hour of screen time used. My deep sleep percentage is in the 80's every day. My phone is runnign Jokers's cm9 overclocked to 1.45.
Hope this helps.
Try badass battery off market, it will let you see where it drains
Just switched from Nutrino... What version are you using? EE/GT/GT+? I only used the EE because its stock clock speed. I noticed CPU gets extremely hot with slightest OC. Also, noticed quick battery drain while screen was on (quicker than other ROM's)...

Also, if your using the gt+ version with the over clock kernel like I am using, do the phone a favor by keeping the phone underclocked at 1000 MHz instead of 1450 MHz. That will help the heating up too. That's what I do. Battery is great too.
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
As Voelker does, I have the 1.3 version of Neutrino but keep it clocked at 1Ghz max with SetCPU profiles most since any overclock tends to get warmer than I want. I havent had a temp crash yet, it's just me being paranoid sometimes. I do set it to 1.3 when I am playing games for smoothness, but I havent noticed any unusual battery drain, just more heat than I want.
Am envious to those who managed to use their phone for more than a day. I bought this phone for about 2 weeks now and have done the normal full charge for 8 hours on the first time. Since then, I have fully charged twice and let the battery gone flat once. I have flashed Neutrino rom and currently Latveyit rom, and the battery last best 12 hours so far.
I charged the phone to 94% at about 7pm and just made two calls and two text messages. I did a navigation on maps for about 15mins max. By about 11pm, battery is at 57%, I play some games for about 10mins and went to bed, in the morning it's about 35%. I realise that the first 50% really goes fast and after that it's pretty decent until less than 20% and it drains fast again. Background application I have are the normal chat programs, whatsapp, viber, kakaotalk, skype and ebuddy. I have waze running in the background although I think it shuts off after 15mins. I have a mix of wifi and 3g usage, usually on wifi though. Is this normal?
edit: I also have Lookout antivirus running
All your chat programs running in the back ground prevent your device to sleep correctly, they wake it up every time they check if there is a new message.
Try to keep only the apps you use and try for each app to increase the check delay or disable it.
The antivirus does help.
2 weeks is a bit early to make a comment about the battery.
Download Battericalibration from the market and use it every shift rom change.
Read about topic on the forum but not become a maniac in "battery life".
If the screen stays lit for 5-7 hours the battery will be empty in like 7-8 hours. If you only speak 1 hour at it the battery will be empty in 3 days.
All depends on how you use it!

I thought that the chat programs will only cause problems if there are frequent messages since they're base on push?
2 weeks is early? How does that affect the battery's performance? I thought when it's new, it's most optimum and slowly degrades through time? The screen was off most of the time unless I was doing anything I mentioned or just checking the time which is just on, check then off. I don't think I am paranoid over the battery life, just curious how to get it over a day.

In my opinion the battery reaches her max in 3-4 weeks.

You might try 1Ghz faux kernels as well. They seemed to have helped my battery life considerably.
Chek out what apps you have running in the background and be sure you set youre network yourself (my phone was always changing from 2g to 3g and after i selected the network myself it gave me a 1day + boost .
And you shoud know that the litium polimer batteryes are affected by cold temperatures.
I wish you luck!
I did use cm7 (neutrino) and got about the same battery life span as the current rom (laytveyit), and am currently on the faux 1ghz kernel. Anyway, I will see how it performance in the weeks to come and hopefully the newer version of the rom will improve it. I thought cold temperature helps preserve the battery's life span?
EDIT: Thanks for all the advice!

edit: I also have Lookout antivirus running

Lol all those chats are you problem imo
The "standard" apps used to figure out what's eating your batteries are:
BetterBatteryStats: for wakelocks
CpuSpy: to tell if you phone is going into deep sleep or not
Built in Battery Usage: to see a pretty graph and tell what's using the most juice
SystemTuner: I just recently started playing with this, lots of information.
Look up BetterBatteryStats here up XDA. There's plenty of threads on how to use it. Look up wakelocks.
