I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight here.
I've noticed horrible battery life, and constant 200 - 600ma current draw. My awake time is absurdly high too. Then all of a sudden last night I noticed it was only pulling 50ma, and the awake time was staying low. Nothing had changed, no app updates, nothing at all. It just suddenly stopped having a wake-lock. Then this morning it went back to being wonky. So I finally gave in and did a hard reset, everything back to stock, installed just one app, battery monitor widget, turned on airplane mode (I thought maybe weak signal was a factor) and left the phone alone for a few hours. When I got back to it, the entire time it was pulling between 360 and 450ma, and the awake time matched the uptime (well, only off by a few minutes). To reiterate, this was with the radios off, and a fresh hard reset.
I really don't know what else to do.
I should mention this same behavior was exhibited on my first Evo3D that I swapped for a broken vibrator motor, so I don't think this is a hardware fault. Actually back then I thought it was normal, so I didn't think about it much, but then I got to thinking it's not normal for an idle phone to die in 8 hours with airplane mode on and no activity...
Thanks for any ideas!
Try downloading an app called CPU Spy and make sure you're phone is going into "deep sleep". If it isn't, I would start going through the apps through process of elimination by uninstalling each one and resetting the timer each time on CPU Spy.

Thank you, I'll mess around with that, but I think you have missed my point...this is happening with 100% freshly reset stock, so there is nothing to uninstall. The only thing is I haven't taken the .7 update, which might have a bearing on it.

Gotcha. Well, give CPU Spy a go. Also, I would download Juice Defender from the Market. I've noticed a significant increase in battery life since I started using it.

Try checking your wifi policy. Set it to always on while plugged in or something other than never.

Nice app. I let it run for about an hour, it showed something like 7% sleep, 70% 384 MHz and the rest was 1188. I uninstalled the only thing, Battery Monitor Widget, then reset CPU Spy's stats and waited another hour...now it's 97% sleeping, 2% 384, 1% 1188. Looks like BMW was the problem. Thanks for the app suggestion.
Any kind of monitoring app will drain your battery more.

Battery monitor widget doesn't show accurate readings yet. The guy that made it emailed me and said it should be fixed in one of the upcoming updates.

I'm with you on this, I think you're into something. I've seen the same behavior too a few times. Some days I'd be surprised on how good my battery life has been and some days I'd get pissed.
The other day mine was drawing like 400ma without doing anything (looking at the history of battery monitor widget). So, yes, I agree with you. Something funky is going on.

Good to know. I have the two OTAs also. I uninstalled Battery Monitor Widget and I have noticed that it is draining a lot slower. so like the OP mentioned. I think that was the culprint. I will keep checking the next couple of days.
I noticed that too. Since the drainage ratings are incorrect... there is no reason to use it.
Had the same issue called htc and they told me it was a software issue and my phone needed replaced

I have a serious problem.
My battery is draining more charge when it is powered off than when it is on!
First off, yes, I am powering it off and not just putting it in sleep.
What happens is this; I power it off for the night, battery at 100, turn it on in morning, battery is at 70-50! Now get this, I reboot this morning, battery instantly drops another 10%!!!!
What on earth is going on here? Does anyone else's have similar problems? I did Google it, but can't find a solution, although it looks like I am not the only one with the problem!
Please help!
Edit: here is a screenshot of my battery use, if anyone wants (sorry, don't know how to post picture other than as attachment)
I had this situation once before. After I updated my firmware to 2.3.5 from 2.2, it never happened again. Hope this help.

Mine is US version, comes with 2.3.5.
Use the original version 2.2 Froyo that came with it. I did not want to update because everything works fine. no bugs of any kind. I think I did the right thing, because I have read several bugs related to the update to 2.3.5.
Do not always update is really necessary. Unless something does not work well or update the device will really improve. But this is not always true.
In my case the battery has excellent durability. An exception to games but that's with any Android. Even with a 2500 MAH as the G70. Luckily, I'm not adept at games.

I've notcied that my battery would drain faster when connected to wifi at home.
I have 5.0, 2.3.5 US version. I had a problem getting mine to charge to 100% (seemed to stop at 80%), but finally it hit 100%. Got to 80% in 3-4 hours, got to 100 in 6 hours extra!
Mine seems to drain "normally", at 65% after 23 hours. Not been doing a lot with it, just messing with apps (installing, rearranging). I always turn off wifi when not using it (especially if there's none around).
You might install "Power Tudor" and see what exactly is using that much power to drain yours that fast. Could be something stuck syncing (like if you have mail set to sync every 10 minutes).
Well, the thing is, it shouldn't be syncing or doing anything while powered off! Oh well, I have just gone to putting in airplane mode, then letting it sleep at night, doesn't burn any battery that way anyway!
Just curious, isn't "airplane mode" the same as just turning off wifi, since it has no cell radios?
I also question the time scale on the battery chart, never seems right to me. If your graph is 10 hours, and it was off at night, I would think it should register than 6-8 hours (or whatever your "night" was. Looks like it was only about an hour.

airplane mode turns off all antennas (wifi,GPS,FM radio). Yeah the battery chart doesn't make Denver to me either, but whatever.
Just keep it plugged in at night, I guess.

Either that's a joke I don't get or a really funny autocorrect
yup, that would be auto correct!
either was the word I'm looking for.
And im not sure what to do. I need some advice because I just cant find the issue! This morning was the final straw, my phone was at 100% charged and all i did was take about a 3 hour nap woke up to an over heated phone and the battery at 10%. WTH?? I use cpu spy and juice defender and nothing. I barely have any apps other than a wellsfargo one and 3g watchdog. Im running [ROM]<=TASK650's ICS'd OUT! V5 right now and i just switched over from cm7 because i thought maybe that would've been the problem? I dont know if its a deep sleep issue because ill look over at it sometimes and the screen just turns on out of nowhere and ill have to press the sleep button for it to turn back off. It also like to randomly turn off as it please. AHH THE FRUSTRATION .
Anyway enough rant can someone help? Or at least give some advice on what I should try or do? Thanks.
Your screenshots are inconsistent with your stated behavior... Loss of 20-30%/hour and an overheated phone says the thing is stuck at 1200 MHz and full load - but your CPUSpy graph shows only 9% at 1200, and a total of maybe 40-50 minutes since reset.
Also the battery graph in your first shot has a major discontinuity... It drops from 100% to 10% instantly. I've seen glitches of 20-30% jumps at a time after a fuel gauge reset, but never anything like that.
So then what your saying is I should kill it with fire and then return it and grab another one? lol I dont know anyone else with this type of situation. Im not just one to go and ask a question because im too lazy to search. I swear i looked and googled EVERYWHERE for some type of solution but i just haven't found someone with this type of problem.
as Entropy mentioned, that jump in the first screenshot makes no sense. You should probably recalibrate the fuel gauge.
Looking at the 2nd screenshot, a lack of deep sleep seems to be the culprit. You'll need to track down what's keeping your phone awake. I've read something about exporting the wakelock log but perhaps there's already an app for that...
Also, clicking on the graph (in the first SS) will show you a more detailed burn down which might help isolate the issue.
Lastly, did you change kernels as well?
Im sorry im fairly new at this. It just has the kernel that the rom came with. I recalibrated the fuel gauge like you said and retook some screen shots that ill just leave here. It keeps over heating and Shutting off on me every half hour or so. On top of that The battery just drains in a mater of 3 to 4 hours. I think the problem is just the phone itself. Im going to try and put the original stock rom on it later this week when i have time (Finals are driving me crazy) and then Im going to try and send it back and get another one. I might need a usb jig thingy tho. Its very frustrating this phone isn't even a month old and like i said before i googled for a full hour and a half and I just couldnt find a solution to this.
mmmk this just happened.
That certainly doesn't look normal. When it takes those sharp dives is the phone rebooting? Also when you flashed your new ROM did you wipe all data in cwm first?

I had a similar problem (phone got extremely hot) when i first flashed to UnNamed but after re-calibrating the fuel gauge a few times everything was all good.

Suggest running better battery stats from a full charge and when you get that instant drop go into bbs look at partial wake locks.
Also have you done any
oc/uc ?

Yes it shuts off every half hour or so and when i realize it and turn it back on the battery is drained significantly and yes i wiped all the data in cwm.

Ok Ill definitely give that a try the moment I have a chance and report back here the results. I haven't done any oc/uc either. Thank you guys for taking the time to help me figure this out.
I would try a CWM Backup. Then Factory Reset, Cache Wipe. Then install a fresh copy of Task v6. If that doesn't fix it, restore back to your backup you did.
I was having fun with undervolting myself (would crash my phone). Every battery pull I did, I lost 20-50% battery life. JUST turning the phone back on! Though in my case the phone would stick at this percentage for a long time, then when it caught up, eventually draining. I would assume the battery was not calibrated, but people keep telling me "this battery does not need calibration" (Whatever).
It seemed to fix itself for me though, after letting it drain down a bit more. I let it fully charge this time with the official wall charger. This was with Task & Siyah. Has not happened since.
I hope your battery works itself out!

kk so I'd guess your battery really isn't that low, it's just reading low after those reboots. For whatever reason sometimes the phone will show a significant loss after a reboot, but really didn't lose that much. However something still isn't rite obviously. I'd suggest redownloading your ROM and clearing/wiping everything in CWM. And do a fresh install. Someone might be better able to help, but if I was getting random power downs that's probably what I'd try. (I might be wrong, but I don't see how wakelocks would be causing it to power down)

Thanks for the input everyone. I just got back from class now and my phones dead no surprise there but Im gonna let it charge back up and ill repost some screen shots of cpu spy and betterbatterystats since i just got that running on the phone. Afterwards Im going to try to just wipe everything on cwm reinstall a rom and see what happens from there. I bought a usb jig that should be coming in by the end of the week just in case all else fails and i'll just send it to att and have them ship me a new one. Thanks for all the feedback you guys are awesome!
OH I forgot to mention I dont think the phone actually shuts off because I was talking on it for a bit but i was talking through my bluetooth headset. I went to check if i had a text message and the screen wouldn't power on but I was still able to talk on the phone WTF? Makes no sense to me.
Really starting to wonder if your CPU has voltages it can't handle...
I've read and read, searched and searched this forum and have not come across my exact problem yet...
I know there have been overheating issues, and I know there have been boot looping problems... all causing terrible battery life, mine has neither. Let me rephrase, my overheating issue is not due to me actually using the phone... On idle (with the screen off), my Rezound only lasts about 2 hours on a full battery. Granted, I live in an area where there isn't full service, but there is some service. I can watch as data is being exchanged with no apps running. What the hell is using data? I have a feeling this is what is killing my battery, the phone is not at all sleeping. I have deselected "always on data" and I turned off fast boot and auto sync.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, my phone is a bone stock refurb.
Try a factory reset maybe?
I can do that, but it doesn't really solve the problem. It just started doing this yesterday. I've had it over 2 months and haven't downloaded anything different. I would really rather just figure out what is causing it, so I don't have to do a factory reset every time something like this happens. You know? Thanks for your suggestion, I'm afraid that is going to be my last resort right before exchanging it...
Try exchanging the battery first. Start small. Work your way up to the big stuff(exchanging the phone). Why give up the customizations you've done if you just have a bad battery?
I was thinking it may be a bad battery, but it concerns me that I can watch the data stay running even though I'm not using anything that requires it. My brother has a Rezound and I placed mine next to his and literally watched the battery life deplete 10% in 5 minutes while his lost no percentage at all, both were idle with the same screen settings. Is it common for a battery to fail that drastically out of nowhere?

If data is constantly being used, something HAS to be using your data. I'd get an app like better battery stats and CPU spy. CPU will show you if your phone is going into sleep mode at all and better battery stats can show you which apps may be causing it.
Do you have the 4G antenna on?
I have betterbatterystats, it shows android system at the top of processes. That program is a little difficult to understand since everything is abbreviated.
I appreciate all of your responses. I just got off the phone with Verizon, they're sending me another phone AND battery for good measure. During lunch today I watched the percentage of my battery deplete while it was plugged into the wall and not being used, used a different charger, nothing. It wasn't even hot. I turned the phone off to try to get it to charge. when I turned it back on, it got to the lockscreen and then restarted itself. Boot looping now. I'm not going to fool with it anymore. Maybe the third Rezound will be better.

I haven't changed anything from out of the box other than visual properties. I'm assuming the network has a little to do with it, but it started failing way too fast to be a radio problem IMO.
I received my 2nd Rezound last week. First one had the hiss/feedback/interference issue through the headphone jack that escalated to a level of to not being able to use the headphones at all without being painful. Anyway, the new one is running very hot (battery) and is draining the battery almost as fast as you're describing yours to do. I've used both the standard battery and extended. This morning while using it at home on wifi with most of my syncs either disabled or set at a min of 2 hrs it drained my extended battery by 20% in 20 mins. I wasn't even using the internet or streaming any music or video. I was working on setting up calender and task list widgets. Phone is stock, not rooted. I will be calling Verizon tonight to see about getting a 3rd one. Sucks as I really like this phone when it's working properly. If the 3rd one has issues to and HTC isn't rolling out any fixes for them I might have to look at something else. But I don't want to!
I feel like if I can get the hardware to cooperate with me, I can get the software to. I was planning on rooting after the ICS push, but the phone obviously had different plans.
Set your phone to CDMA only, especially if you don't live in an area with LTE coverage. You will see significant battery advantages from that alone.

I should have mentioned that I'd already done that (only 3G here anyway). I've done all the battery management tricks I've read about but this phone has an issue. I'm not even getting half the battery life out of it that I was on the 1st one. And the battery gets significantly hotter then the other phone.

Last week, prior to the new OTA, my battery life took a noticeable and significant drop.
According to my Battery Widget my fully charged battery lasts on average 1 day 17 hours and 24 minutes. This is typically with between 2 and 3 hours of screen on time. But ever since late last week my battery has been dying in under 24 hours.
I have been using the built in power usage menu, Better Battery Stats, Battery Widget, and now even GSam Battery to try to identify the problem, but I have been unsuccessful. GSam Battery says that apps are using 83.9% of my battery, with the Kernel (Android OS) the largest offender by far (58.5%).
Has anybody else had a noticeable drop in battery life recently? I'm just wondering if it's an app update that has gone wrong somewhere, but I haven't been able to pinpoint anything yet.

msm_hsic_host and suspend_bakoff are the two biggest offenders, at 22h and 6h respectively.
Not really sure what this means though, everything I've found via Googling these issues seem to be related to Nexus 4 kernels. I can't imagine I've got a kernel issue being bone stock.

It might not be an app causing it. You know how the DNA was said to have really bad battery life when it was launched? it was cause of this issue...i think...are you rooted? if so, install a custom kernel and it should have the hsic wakelock fixed. Its weird that the problem just started happening randomly but it seems to be that issue.
Try disabling fastboot and restarting if you haven't already?

I'm not rooted, running bone stock.
I've had the phone since November, I got it a few weeks before they were even launched (HTC sent it to me) and the battery has been an absolute champ the entire time I've owned it. If it's something kernel related I'd be really surprised, as this only just started happening last week.
I'll try disabling fastboot and restarting to see what that does for me, though honestly I've never changed those settings in the roughly 5 months of owning the phone, so I still feel like there has to be something I can uninstall to resolve.
According to both GSam and Better Battery Stats, something is keeping my phone awake nearly constantly. In the screenshot below, you can see that since the last boot, the phone has been on for 4h 27m, and it's been awake for 4h 22m. Only 18m of screen on time.
I installed Wakelock Detector this morning after my battery had dropped from 100% to 74% overnight. I rebooted and it's been running ever since, so I guess I'll keep an eye on it as the day progresses. Right now it's not showing anything unusual, at least so far as I can tell. Maybe I should just recharge back to 100% and let it start fresh.

Well I finally did this yesterday and it seems to have done the trick. Not really sure why that would become a problem randomly after 5 months, but the battery is running seemingly even better than before now.
I couldn't charge it to a full 100% last night, but I got it to 99% and I had to head out, and it's been off the charger for 15 hours now and is still at 90%.
Kudos to you, thanks for the tip!
no problem! i'm glad i could help! the thing is..fastboot doesn't allow your device to fully shut down so disabling that and restarting closes everything and allows the phone to actually reboot.
I think its a dumb option since phones usually aren't restarted unless there is a need for it...i go weeks without having to restart so why do i need a option thats going to save me 10 seconds for problems. i always keep it disabled.

How do you have 90% after 15 hours? What did you shut off? Your on wifi i assume. That is amazing battery if so. Sorry for being skeptical but that seems impossible...

Well for the first three hours I was on 4G but I just wasn't using the phone much. Got home and had it set to WiFi for about two or three hours, then went to bed and shut off both WiFi and Mobile Networks (I always do that at night).
It did seem pretty ridiculous to me as well, but you can check out the screenshots below. The first one was earlier, the next two I just took.
Hey, I've been using stock 4.1.2+ExperiencedKernel for a long time, it always worked great, but a few days ago I installed an icon pack for KKLauncher, and since then my battery consumption got really bad, around 15-20% per hour when the display is off! I've tried deleting the icon pack, but it's the same, I'm even checking BetterBatteryStats for details, but it doesn't show anything suspicious, although I'm using the app for the first time, so maybe I overlooked something. I have also reflashed the rom+kernel with full wipe, but no luck. Can anyone tell me what can cause this mess, or what should I upload from BetterBatteryStats for someone to check the problem? Thanks in advance.
btw it goes to deep sleep well, so it's not an app that wakes it up constantly (I use greenify too). also the phone itself is very hot, don't know if it's just the battery or the whole thing... but the phone functions correctly.

If you don't have any wakelocks keeping it awake and you've reflashed the ROM, kernel and did a full wipe and the battery drain still exists... Then I'd say your battery is failing, especially if it's getting hot. My L9 never gets hot, even under heavy use.
The only other thing you could really try is flashing back to stock and see if the problem is still there... Really though, I'm pretty sure it's your battery.

Hi, thanks for your answer. The problem is, the phone gets really hot on the upper side of it, near the camera. The battery never gets hot at all. Is it possible, if it's battery problem?

I thought you meant that the battery was getting hot. The last time I had a battery go out, it was getting hot and it was draining fast. Shortly after that it wouldn't take a charge anymore.
It is possible that it's a hardware issue. WiFi, GPS or the camera could cause it to get hot also.
You can also try and boot the phone into "Safe Mode" and run it like that for a day or two and see if the problem still exists. If it problem disappears while in Safe Mode then you have a rogue app or something that's causing the issue.
Then to narrow it down you could try downloading Wakelock Detector and see if something is keeping it awake, making it hot and drain the battery.
Monitor it with Better Battery Stats and Wake lock Detector. Post some screen shots of BBS and Wakelock Detector here too. That way we can see if something is going on.
This is one of those issues that will take a process of elimination to figure out.

I've been using BBS, it shows that the phone is in deep sleep in most of its off time, no app wakes it up. Also, wifi seems to lose its signal very often, even though it's strong (there wasn't any problem with that before).
I'm using the phone now without SD and SIM cards, it doesn't seem to be that hot than it used to, but charging and draining are still very weak. I'm gonna try safe mode as you suggested, and also using the phone without wifi turned on, if that is the issue. Thanks for your tips.
So, the phone cooled down after I turned off wifi, then I rebooted to safe mode, and it became hot once again, but after the media scanning, it cooled down once again. So I guess it may be the CPU? I've been trying to get a picture of the phone's circuit board with no luck, because the phone is only warm in the upper 1/3, the other parts seem to be cooled down all the time.
I'm gonna return it to T-Mobile on Monday, hopefully they won't notice the unlocked bootloader.

Yeah it might be the CPU. Also if it's dropping and/or scanning a lot for WiFi, then it will definitely get hot and kill the battery quickly.
I don't think that T-Mobile will notice that it's unlocked. As long as you flash back to stock ROM before taking it in, then they probably won't notice. They would have to be purposely looking for it to be unlocked.
You might want to flash back to stock anyway and see if the problem is still there... It very well could be a ROM/kernel issue causing the problem.

I have flashed back stock one I've been using (cwm flashable), of course I will remove root and any suspicious apps. I appreciate your help.
