Have you tried fresh install. Sbf back to stock then rooting again. I keep my battery settings on performance, didnt remove much bloat, just the crap games and kindle. Also get poor service which kills battery little but I only have a 20% idle and 5% cell standby. Also I calibrated my battery to help a little with the app and by charging all the way and wiping battery stats in recovery. If none pf that help dont know what else will but someone might.

There's a couple threads on this same forum with the same issue. You might look at some of the suggestions there. When you upgraded, did you use the pre-root, sbf, factory reset, do it at full battery, etc.?

No solution yet. I've found this issue in threads for a lot of other phones that received 2.3.3 update.

battery calibration as well as bloat freezing took my 24 hours or less lasting gingerbread and made it go about 4 days now on a full charge with no worries on moderate use (not playing youtube videos for 3 hours straight)
Is 38% an acceptable percentage for Phone Idle after 18 hours? It's the #1 battery user on the list.
Well I had horrible battery with 2.2.2 so its the same crap for me. I might as well do ANOTHER battery calibration or just keep killing the battery and charging for a bit. I just did that for the first time since getting GB today so lets see how that goes. It doesn't seem to die from standbye that fast like others say but just simple things like texting.
What all did you freeze?

I must have a very good battery. Running OTA GB. I unplug it from the charger at 0600 and don't plug in until 2230 at night. Charge is only down between 60% & 70%. Wi-fi is off most of the time but I do run BT all day. I get 4-7 phone calls that can last up to 10-20 minutes at a time, average number of apps running including the usual bloat.

After I got the phone, I used it stock for a bit. then rooted it with Gingerbreak. Ran Titanium *Root and backed up most of the items on the bloat list posted elsewhere. I uninstalled a couple but then decided I needed to get it back to stock as Gingerbread was rumored to be just around the corner. I SBF'd the phone per instructions in these forums. The SBF restored the APKs I had uninstalled. I took the OTA when it came out and my battery life is good. No scripts, nothing special installed. Two apps I recommend are Advanced Task Killer and Superbox - both from Market. I see roughly 125-140mb free memory with caches emptied.

idle at 80% is a good thing. The idle statistic means your phone is using the least amount of energy possible. 80% idle in the battery manager means 80% of the time your phone is turned on it's using only the minimum amount of power required to stay powered up.
Those percentages don't mean it's using 80%, it's a "time in state" percentage.
If android system or a user app is 80% then you have a problem.
As stated in previous posts, if you truly have battery drain (less than 15 hours on a standard battery) check out the main thread on battery issues in gingerbread.

Obviously it all depends on what you've done while the screen was turned on but it'd be an interesting statistic.
Overall battery:
26hrs on stock rom 1.8.3
16hrs on gingerblur 3.1
Both with more than 3:30hrs of display on
About 24hrs on battery with 4hr15min with the display on. I think I have a screenshot on FB, lol.
I might be on to something here then..
Am using GladiAtrix 3 b0.2, before I installed it I did a battery stats reset through CWM
(advise from KennethPenn, dev of Gingerblur):
"""- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)
- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%."""
On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum ".
The result is fairly amazing; the display time of almost 7 hrs is under heavy use; wlan & sync constantly on, Xscope & XDA app non-stop checking, market downloads, etc!! I have never had such good battery!
I advise everyone to do the above, it really helps.

That's right, only 2g unless I need 3g for data. I'm always around a wifi though.
No task manager, android 2.2 does all that automatically.
Not sure battery manager is so aggressive, I think it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.

6hrs is my personal best, straight stock phone.
I've just put mine on charge, prob got about 40-50 hours, mostly standby. Seems a lot but I just unpacked my charger from going away for the weekend.
Prob about 4 hours talk time, prob 3 hours web. No GPS, no wifi.
Strange thing is, the battery thing said '5 hours since unplugged' which is definately not the case, is this a known issue? 5 hours since I rebooted it maybe.
when you reboot - the time since unplugged counter is reset.
Is there a way to do the battery stats reset without CWM?

a little off topic but howd you get that 1% battery mod and not the ugly circle, this looks kinda nice sitting at 33%, can one get that without gingerblur , stock plus root would do?
on topic, i get about 2 days on a medium usage on my battery , 1.5 days on heavy, i dont think i could use another phone after getting this much battery life, i just wonder what gingerbread would do to this phone
5 1/2 hours, with 3G turned on. Although the last 45 minutes of that it was just sitting at the launcher, I was waiting for the battery to die on it. I usually average 2-3 hours, but when I charge my phone I usually still have about 50% left.
Seeing as I rarely use data, I may have to try that 2G trick. Maybe I could charge it every other day instead of each night.
My best "Screen On" time is close to 4.5 hrs running Greyblur. For those just posting "time since unplugged"..screen on time is a much better indicator for battery life imo because it means actual use. The phone sitting idle in your pocket or on your table for 48 hrs is misleading to some people because then they wonder why they're only getting 12hrs with 5hrs of actual "useage" (screen on time).
For my style of use..battery saver modes and apps don't do me any favors because then I miss out on my IM's which I rely on for most of my communication. And unfortunately 2G isn't an option any more for most of us Canadian users..as 2G has been pretty much phased out.

Be careful with task killers because they can sometimes close apps that will start again by themselves thus consuming cpu/power in the process.

I was having issues with my battery life at idle to. Had them for two weeks.
Then finally my SD card reformatted itself and I did some searching here and found this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085214&highlight=internal+gingerbreak+deleted
Basically gingerbreak not only deletes the SD card but leaves it inconsistent. So for me it left a little timebomb that eventually got itself reformatted by the phone itself.
It took a long time b4 I saw anything odd other than higher than normal phone idle CPU usage. As high or higher than display if I wasn't using the phone much.
Finally 2 days ago I started getting random errors when trying to install things from market about not enogh free space. Then blam internal sd card reformat.
After I did a full (not quick) internal sd format from windows mounted usb drive I have awesome battery usage today. Phone idle CPU is WAY down. Now display is the primary power suck. As it should be!!
Note that have purchased systempanel and the historical CPU usage did NOT help me find this issue.
I guess I would have never saw it if the OS didn't just decide to reformat it.
Good luck!

Not sure what setting you are using but it doesnt even register on my battery use stats, ever. I set it to moderate and didnt change any other settings.
Im curious what settings were you using.?
Have you tried "Battery Calibration"? I was getting 8 to 9 hours with heavy use, rooted and then used "Battery Calibration" and now I can easily get 15+ plus hours of heavy use. I use emulators, PowerAmp, have auto brightness on and no juice defender and am still getting great battery life. Highly recommend it!
Hey guys.
I hate to make yet another thread on a topic that seems to have been beaten to death, but I can't take this anymore. My battery life has been really ****ty lately, like extra ****ty. With poop on top. It's gotten to the point where after 5 hours its under 30%, and this is with very minimal use. I don't know why this is, maybe because I sbfd last Thursday, and the battery calibration stuff is screwed up... Or maybe its because I started using widgetlocker recently, idk.
Anyways, attached us the battery use monitor thing. The first screenshot is from this morning, showing how I lost 10 percent battery doing NOTHING for 45 minutes. The next shows my battery being dead after 5 hours of very light use.
In both screenshots the top waster of battery is the phone idle. Is there anything I can do to minimize this battery drain from the phone doing nothing? I have eclipse v6 blurless (v7 seemed more unstable and i'm not into the cyan theme) and I am not using any special scripts.
Any advice/thoughts/sympathy would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Go to the market and find an app called "battery calibration". It will have instructions in the app on how to use it, and it should help you out.

I've had the best success by doing this: Download battery calibration from the market (free). Charge your phone to 100% and run battery calibration, but DO NOT remove your charge cable! Leaving the cable plugged in will prevent the phone from creating a new batterystats.bin, I believe. Ok, now reboot your phone and unplug the charge cable allowing the batterystats.bin to be created at the 'M' logo. **Before proceeding, be sure recovery mode is set in System Recovery.** Discharge your phone till it shuts off. Proceed to charge to 100% uninterrupted. After fully charged then pull the cable and simply reboot your phone..
There are many ways to calibrate your battery, but I found doing it this way has proven the best (2.5 - 3% /hr drop) given my varying use of the phone.

U DO NOT want recover mode set if u plan on letting your phone battery run ALL THE WAY DOWN. Recovery mode will hijack your charge only mode.
U will want CHARGE mode to be set so u can CHARGE instead of going into recovery like your.phone will do when u power off and plug in.
I also just want to say to google lithium ion battery. U should find that these batteries will actually lose life if u let it completely discharge to much. They are designed to get low(5-15%) and be charged not to be complete dead. Not letting it die can improve battery life. Just saying. I don't ever try to let it die 100%. I always get it on a charger before it shuts down.

Recalibrate your battery.. and install the Speedy Scripts... IDK how your current setup is, but if you flash a new rom, its always in best interest to recalibrate your battery. CHARGE OVER NIGHT>RUN RECALIBRATION TOOL AS STATED WITH PLUGGED IN>WAIT FOR 15 MINS>UNPLUG>DRAIN BATTERY TILL FULLY DEPLETED>INSERT AC POWER CABLE AND CHARGE FULLY>BETTER BATTERY LIFE
further suggestions
Install the Speedy Scripts in the x2 Dev section or Get a The SuperCharger scripts and fix OOM grouping to bulletproof and set to big memory device.
Enjoy 14+Hours of Battery Life.
Also, If you are in a bad service area, put in Airplane mode while you are not using your phone or in a bad area.
Hope this helps.

I have had inconsistent results using it. I have juice defender plus.
The main thing it does is it kills/manages ur data connection as that is the main things that drain battery running in background
I have had a few days where it worked and gave me an extra couple hours battery and some days where I didn't notice a difference.
I just wish I could set my phones own battery and data manager to shut data off whenever I turn screen off instead of 15mins of inactivity.
If wiping battery stats doesn't do it for you, you could always go with an extremely minimal setup..
I'm talking 0% brightness, BT/GPS/Wi-Fi Off, a data managing program that turns off data and restores it at set intervals, SetCPU to make a screenoff profile, NO SYNCING of anything (FB off) email set to 1hr (or whatever the minimum is). 1 Home Screen, minimal widgets.
If you really want to get extreme you could use Titanium to freeze FB/Google Maps and unfreeze when you need them. I don't use FB on my phone and I rarely use G Maps so it doesn't bother me to have them frozen.
With all that I get an easy day out of my phone with light use (< 30 text messages, < 15 minutes call time, an hour of browsing on Wi-Fi, and a couple hours of music) probably a full day of Moderate use, and 8 hours of heavy use.

Anyone else having these issues? Or know of a fix, it's rather rediculous.
The OTA i'm referring to is the one that added Gtalk Video Chat.

This hasn't been a problem I've seen reported with the sbf at all.. Flash it and call it a day. If you really don't wanna do that, calibrate he battery and see if that helps. The method of doing so is different depending on who you ask. I do it this way; run your battery down to zero as quick as possible. Charge it to full. Boot into cwm while still plugged into outlet. Let sit for about 15 mins. reset the batt stats. Reboot. Drain your battery as fast as possible again. Charge it to full. Good to go.

So my question is do droid x batteries work for this phone too? Ive been searching amazon for extended batteries and it seems like most are for droid x but some say that they are for both. Also does anyone else experince this? With the way the battery is on 2.3.4 i go from full to 15 percent out of nowhere. Im hoping an extened battery will at least allow me to get a full day of work out of it. If someone could link me to a good battery theat they have used that would be great too. Thanks.
Are you heavily calling, texting, gaming, etc during the time your phone's battery is rapidly gaming? Do you have your brightness turned all the way up? Do you allow account synching in the background? All of these are the main causes of battery drain, though they shouldn't drain it quite that quickly. You could very well have a bad battery. Try downloading app/widget battery left, charge up to 100%, and check the voltage on the battery. If less than 4.2 volts, it could mean a battery issue. However even if at 4.2, I can't gaurentee battery health.
Yes, Droid X batteries do in fact work for our phones. I'm actually using the Trident Electra case and battery meant for the X. I highly recommend it, I love the battery life (3 or so days without charging) and the protection the case offers.
Hope I could help!
Yea I hardly use ny phone for calls. And text. Mainly emails and just browsing the forums from time to time. But I manually sync my accounts. Just for this reason. But I have nevr seen anything like this. I have battery minored widget pro voltage is fine the graphs are hilarious to look at since the phone will go from 100 to 93 then drop knew by one to 80 then it drops to 47 and with a half hour of that its at fifteen and as soon as the low battery indicator comes on I hit ok and a minute later its dead.
Well hopefully problem solved ordered a two battery combo with wall charger. 3500mah

Dead like your phone shuts off? Or the phone % tells you its dead? My extended battery has never read correctly, right now its shows 1% at 3.997v thats most of a charge yet

I'm having some problems to. Today was the first day I really kept track of how fast my battery drained itself and my God, I feel like my phone should win an award for most juice lost in 4 hours.
I downloaded Easy Battery Saver from the market and started to use a battery widget to monitor my battey life and it honestly seems like the app is working. Give it a try and see how you like it.

I was under the impression that both the X and the X2 used the same battery (BH5X).
If I am wrong, someone please correct me...
They use the same battery. Have you tried calibrating? Charge to 100% then go to spare parts> battery info> then battery voltage. What is it?
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
What frequency do you have your email to check. If you have your email on push then the battery will die a lot faster also. I can kill my battery in 4 hours with non stop use. Orbit baby's it 15 he's has been my best. And yea the x and x2 use same battery my spare is from my Droid x and they are the same part number.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys I got the extended battery which helped a little. But I sold the phone already. Couldn't handle being so restricted.

I got the extended battery and get half the life out of it. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? I have eclipse 1.3, speedy v7, cdma unthrottle mods, and froze battery manager. I've also done a battery calibration and it still dies after a few hours. But i was getting about 12 to 13 hours on my stock battery.
