Hi there. I'm using GinTonic.SE v1.3 for 4 days now, and I can get only 30-34h worth of battery life - as long as I have Wi-fi and 3G off. I used to get almost 50h with Froyo CM6.
Has anyone experienced diminished battery life with GinTonic?
Thanks!
Gingerbread are battery drainers, try undervolting (settings/CyanogenMod/performance/cpu). And reduce backlight to minimum
i'm experiencing the same problem, the battery draining is anormal, i've tried with battery calibration but that doesn't resolve the issue, battery goes from 100% to 98 in about 1 minute (data,sync,wifi off and minimal brightness) then straight down... i need to charge the phone 3 times in a day, i had to reflash he cyanogen revolution... any advice?

It's true... as xxlordxx said... compared to Froyo, Gingerbread Customs are slightly higher battery drainers..... You atleast get 30 H, I used to get 13 with Gintonic..
I've no problems with the cyano revolution and/or the stock rom

I'm using it for 4 days now too and I can only agree...it's really strange how fast the battery becomes empty!
I have to charge it 2 times a day!!

have you tried the new GT 2.3.8? claims better battery use, i installed yday and it lasted for the day at least..but that was quite minimal use. as stated use either uv.ko or underclock with setcpu, i downloaded app called cpu spy it informs you what speed your proc is running at and u can get a decent reading on when and how long the speed is which helps in set cpu if you set up profiles so i.e when yr battery reaches x% the clockspeed will reduce, and choose a governer like powersave or conservative...it does make quite a difference
yes battery life is bad I will have to look at some of those 3rd party batteries

Hello,
I,m experience quite poor battery life when using wifi on my mini pro when using miniCM6 v5.
When I,m only typing this, I see my battery drain like a time-bomb.
In less then one minute, one percent batterylife goes away.
I already calibrated my battery.
I have 320mhz min, 710mhz max.
So I want to know if theres another rom available that has great battery life but still has the 5MP camera.
I experienced that the CM7 mods have greater batterylife, but they have crappy camera quality and I need the good camera badly.
So I hope someone can help me with my wish: best batterylife with 5MP camera working.
Thanks in advance,

The poor battery life of the X10 Mini is known and can't be improved unfortunately.
I think MiniCM6 with undervolt, is the best ROM against battery drain, actually.
I had some battery issues a while ago. My phone would literally drain in about 5 hours with wifi off, sync off, data off and 2g only. No matter what rom I used. It happened suddenly after my usual 30+ hours (with everything on).
I tried all the battery calibration tips but none worked. It turns out my battery was a bit dodgy, it would discharge about 50 percent whilst disconnected from the phone overnight! It was always warm so I imagine there was a fault or short somewhere. it is the stock battery and only a couple of months old which surprised me.
Lithium poly batteries can be volotile if damaged/faulty so I urge caution if you try any battery calibration techniques - you don't want the phone to violently combust! The best advice I can give when charging is no more than 2 hours and then reboot or shutdown, no overnight charging as although there are safety mechanisms you can't be too careful. Lithium poly batteries DO NOT trickle charge so there is no point leaving it on longer as it will just keep cycling the last 2 percent with the charging circuit switching on/off/on/off/on/off... which can't be good.
To test whether or not it is a faulty battery, charge to 100 percent and shut down. Leave it off for a few hours and reboot. Lithium poly batteries have a very long storage life so should not suffer any significant loss of charge. If it has dropped more than a few percent without any 'load' on the battery then I would suggest its faulty and is discharging internally so cease using it and get a new battery.
My phone now runs properly, 30+ hours with cyanocomb 1.3 with all enabled bar gps and bluetooth. I even browse forums for a few hours! It really shouldn't be any less than that.

Okay, I think i'll try that then.
Standby time is great btw, yesterday morning it was 6 percent, and this morning it was 2 percent and still on.
So standby is not the problem, only when im using the phone it drains very quickly.
But I think thats normal.
I have a spare battery anyway, but thanks!
The best way is to bumpcharge your phone when u near a charger plug it in and use a memory manager and get rid of all the usles cluter my batery only lasts 1 day but thats the stock batery for u but if you have a rom with full rom managment use underclock with no more then 610 mh and baterysaver in cm settings
I'd like to know from the folks at XDA how much battery life (in hours) they get once they recharge the battery and turn on GPS (i.e. 100% active with a software--no screen off) until the phone shuts down from no energy.
I'd like to know what ROMS, kernels, etc you're using and how much battery life with 100% GPS with no down time.
For me, I'm getting about ~3 hours with TW 1.3.2 and Bali using Copilot GPS software. Screen at half bright. Battery is reconditioned.........Is this any good?.....

I've been having real bad battery problems. People claim 12-14 hours with heavy use and full charge. I get only about 8 hours with medium use ( few calls some texts and some web browsing and pandora) My battery's date is 08.02.2010 and its 1500 mAH . Would you recommend i get a new one and see if that works? I'm running cm7 latest nightly and glitch v11 since i thought glitch would help wit battery life but no dice. Even before i got any roms though my battery life was always about 8 hours with medium use. And thats with no gps no wifi or syncing. Thanks for ur help.

3 hours with GPS enabled constantly? And your screen on the entire time? Yes, that's very good.
I remember I used to have a Garmin that would last ~24minutes after I took it off of the charger.
Constant-running GPS is a massive battery drain. Having your screen running for 3 hours straight is an even bigger battery drain.
Get a car charger.

what worked really well for me is bali 1.1.1 here are my UV settings ive been running my phone all day at 6pm i had 50% and after a good amount of use i have 47% left im not overclocking at all
1000- -25
800- 50
400 -50
200 -50
100-75
when i try going around 100 and up it gets unstable so try these out and tweak em a bit im sure u will have better battery life
Do you use bali 1.1.1 with cm7 nightly too? just making sure it'll b compatible with my setup to . btw funny ur from newark. im from elizabeth =P

he's asking about it actually being on and running. Ie while being used for CoPilot turn-by-turn navigation with the screen on.

A new battery should be free and yes last time i got a new one mailed to me they let me keep the old one too.
i have the elegant white rom,its awesome low ram consumption speed etc.
BUT first to change stock rom(original from manifacturer)i could play 2 hours and 1/2 sometimes 3 without trouble with battery at 30/35% left now i play 5 mins and my battery goes from 93% to 87% in 5 min
so 6%x12=72%battery lost in 1 hours its bad really bad! i also installed the battery fix but notthing!in idle without playing i lost 2/3% per hours so this is good.
someone have my same trouble? it is normal?if so i should install back stock rom?
if i get stock rom again the battery should be fine?
the elegant rom is on stock 2.3.7 i had 2.3.3 when i bought this phone
sorry for bad english i have not much time
thx everyone
(already done calibration)
to full charge it takes 1 hours max is it normal?

done 2 days ago after let phone shut down and charged until 100%
Roms based on CM7.2 do drain battery massively compared to stock so going back to stock would help.
Battery callibration does not help - see Here
Same problem here... Living with it cuz stock has just become old and lazy
But if you really want battery switch to stock its way better than cm

There isn't a noticeable difference in both versions in terms of battery life. However, 5.7 has better performance and is noticeable.
You can try underclocking to something like 730 MHZ and save a decent amount of battery life without losing performance. Check this OC kernel out:
OC zImage
Also, use Cyanogenmod, ADW launcher without customizations is faster than the stock touch-wiz UI launcher.

For all those who r shouting that battery calibration doesnt improve battery.. Did the XDA said it improves battery life?? Do u ppl know wats the meaning of calibration?? Calibrating means adjusting something to the accurate value.. Not improving the value!! Even we never said it ll improve battery life.. Battery calibration just calibrates the reading to more accuarte one. So let the ppl calibrate it. Else leave. It ll automatically gets adjusted after 1 or 2 week.. U can see urself the change..

Yes, many members on XDA said that callibration improves battery life. The battery indicator on your status bar does not use batterystatus.bin. It does not automatically adjust after 1 week or 2. It re-calibrates every time you charge!
Read the article posted by XDA for more:
google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
well i dont know about you all
but on my phone battery percantage isnt that accurate
cause when i unplug phone from charger and just open game or do something battery percantage goes to like 90%
but when my battery percantage is low like 18% it holds 30mins on 18%
I've tested many roms here and stock rod do tend to have better battery life, but... When i tested the RAZRv3 by TeamCooper, it had extremly good battery life.
When i got my Ace it had froyo, that lasted about 2.5-3 days. I upgraded to gingerbread official, battery lasted about 1.5-2 days on. Then i tried several custom stock roms and they all lasted about 1-2 days.
After that i started testing CM7 (both 7.1 and 7.2) roms and most of them lasted 12-18 hours (i used the wifi disables 3g function and some other tweaks to last the battery longer otherwise those roms would not have been usable)
Then i got to the RAZRv3 i used it for 2 weeks and the battery was amazing, it lasted easily for 3 days with no other tweaks than "wifi disables 3g" and also the performance was good. No lag!
Then i tested the CM7.2byFAT and the battery was awful but i really liked the rom so i keep 3g disabled when i dont use internet (all background apps use 2g internet) and now the battery last for 2 days.
As i've tested.... 3g takes really alot of battery in CM7 roms but in RAZRv3 (cm7.1 based) it worked like a charm.
So.. Everyone who wants really good battery life should test RAZRv3 that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
Hello every one,
I am facing poor battery life with my x10 mini pro. Even I had my battery replaced recently. But still, the battery life is just about the same.
I tried following things...
1. Turning down the brightness down.
2. Turning off the data, background sync, 3g
3. Uninstalling the apps that runs on background
4. Deleting battery stats after installing new ROM (CM7 2.2.0)
I typically use my phone for 1hour of calls, 30mins of browsing, 1hour music playback, <20mins of gaming. And the battery will be drained in less than 8 hours.
And, another weird thing is, the battery fills up very very fast. It will take like 25mins to get to 100% from <15%.
Please, guide me what to do. This has been a serious head ache for me. Will flashing back to Eclair, Donut will solve the issue?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem!
I suggest flashing back to MiniCM7-2.1.9, my battery life was REALLY good on that version. But I updated to v2.2.0 yesterday and now I have the same battery problem as you. The rom does run faster and I also noticed a few bugs fixed, such as the keyboard light, but battery life is just really bad for me.
If u dont use dsp manager then remove it,because many users hve reported that dsp manager drains battery

Done that already, still the same. Already know about Battery Dr Saver, but I don't think it helps this problem.
I also installed Badass Battery Monitor, it's really detailed and shows a lot of info. It's showing that the display is using up the most battery, but I have it idle most of the time.........
agree!
at least someone or two has same problem with me.
i just flashed cm7 2.2.0 over these 2 weeks.
well i noticed the battery drain alot faster than stock eclair.
i'm looking forward to see the solution...

done that already too, except I use smartassv2 governor and my max is just stock speed at 600mhz.
I basically applied every tweak that I could find from every topic, and believe me they do work, on v2.1.9 at least.
It seems that most people have the same problem on v2.2.0, the radio somehow keeps draining battery. I noticed that it used up 33% for no reason, whereas on v2.1.9 it was around 2%.
BTW I dunno if it makes a difference if I use smartassv2 or interactiveX, but most people said that smartassv2 is better since that's what nAa uses, so it's more compatible. I don't think changing the governors matter though, I've used Badass Battery Monitor for 3 days in a row now and it shows none of the apps are draining power. Even using Android Assistant shows that my phone is idle 94% of the time, where the System uses 4% CPU and User uses 2% CPU. So I do believe it's gotta do with the radio, somehow this rom isn't using the kernel that well I think.
Then it wil be good idea to stick to 2.1.9
YES ! im not the only one wooo, i signed up just to thank the creator of this thread <3 ok so i think it is the minicm7 2.2.0 problem, because i never had it before ! BUT i am using minicm9 now, and anyone confirm that our batteries work better with this? because ive noticed a slight improvement with battery in MiniCM9, i love my mini, i need to fix this battery problem ! i even got two batteries thinking my batterys was f***ed, still only gave me about 5 hours worth of battery max !

I suggest going back to CM7 2.1.9. It's very stable for me and battery drain is so low that my phone can last almost a week on standby without much usage, it's great!
I would stay away from CM9 for now, and wait until it's more stable. So far, I've read that many people are experiencing a few bugs here and there, so I would wait until after a few new version releases and try it out then.

well, if you're using CM9 or CM7, you have no choice but to use the nAa kernel.......unless you're asking which kernel version, otherwise you pretty much don't have a choice.
I'm pretty sure it's not the kernel either, CM7 2.2.0 drains a lot more battery compared to CM7 2.1.9. They both use the same kernel, so it has nothing to do with that.
i used cm7 2.1.9 and i got 4 hours battery life, with wifi off, 3g off, and all i did was txt thru whatsapp with 2g and i was at the movies for 2 hours anyway, and no its not my battery cause i bought another one, still the same thing im getting frustrated ! gonna try original kernel and rom

that's really odd, my phone running CM7 2.1.9 can last for 3 days easily if I just use it for txting. I'm using nAa-11 kernel, and haven't had a problem with it......maybe try to flash the kernel and rom again?

yep tried that as well, alot of times one thing i noticed was when i installed paul's kernel i hadnt charge the phone and when i booted up the phone after flashing the battery was 62% but wifi wasnt working with the kernel so i installed Naa kernel again, i didnt charge the phone and the battery percentage went up to 82% like wtf -.-

I suggest going back to CM7 2.1.9. It's very stable for me and battery drain is so low that my phone can last almost a week on standby without much usage, it's great!
I would stay away from CM9 for now, and wait until it's more stable. So far, I've read that many people are experiencing a few bugs here and there, so I would wait until after a few new version releases and try it out then.

I installed cm9 mini, but phone was lagging and battery life was poor. Now i installed cm7 mini 2.2.1 and it runs a lot better than cm9, but like most of you say, i also have the battery drain issue...; during 9hours of sleep my phone lost 30% of battery that's really enoying. Stock 2.1 SE rom loses about 7% during 9 hours of sleep.
So most of you recomand the 2.1.9 instead of 2.2.1? And which kernel should i use? Is there a possibility that the kernel i use (ana 14 ) drains the battery so fast? if i install 2.1.9 should i use the ana 14 kernel, or a lower version?
thx

OK, i installed cm7 mini 2.1.9 and now the battery consumption is great!! :laugh: fully charged phone and it consumed 3% over 9hours of sleep
I am currently running debloated stock .305.
I am not overwhelmed by the battery performance. my z3c with slim rom was much better.
So i wonder if i could flash another kernel and improve the battery performance.
So if you guys have some experiences that they will share i would appreciate it.
thanks in advance for any reply.

I'm on the xpower rom and it's weird: during 8h of sleep it only lost 1% of battery, after 10 minutes of browsing and whatsapp it lost 10% of battery. Unacceptable, "screen" is taking most of the battery as there doesn't seem to be any other battery intense app.
Does anyone have any idea?
Sounds like you have 10% drain in 8 hours with light use. That's 1.2% per hour. I think that's pretty usual... And yes, screen should be the most demanding component unless you don't really use the phone. Try lowering the brightness, the effect is almost exponential

Not really, I have 1% over night (which is great) but then 10% in 10 minutes as soon as I start using it (just browsing the net).
I would assume it's just not getting the levels right just after sleep, in fact you've lost 8% and another 2 while using it.

you think so? I rebooted it several times and it would always show the same %, only to drop drastically as soon as I used it. It's really weird to see the battery going down while using it for just a couple of minutes.
Battery % is always a guess.
It would be much better to actually use the device for a few days and then deduce how much battery time you get according to your own usage.
Im using XPower as well and notice the same issue. Battery can last forever screen off but then drains quickly when on.

Maybe then it's a kernel or rom related issue?

Well compare to the latest stock firmware the battery seems to be night and day. I can easily get two days with light use. The battery drain on stock seemed to just be constant.
