so since i installed this new ROM CM7 I have noticed my battery usage is not so great when i look at the after 2 hours of use cell standby is 32% and phone idle is 24% android system 21% before it was always android system at the top so it just seems excessive use for phone idle and standby im not a expert tho any ideas???
well bro u can this
1. turn off wifi & data
2. use task killer to end tasks wen nt using phne
3. turn off auto synchronization
4. lower cpu freq
cm7 is not official so hv to face such prblms!!
yea i already do all that but oh well ill ust wait for the official release i actually like the ROM
67% ->goto bed->after 9hrs->still at 67% on stock v10f rooted
Im using CM7 too, and I've noticed that MAYBE there is a problem with wifi... Battery consumption is relatively normal, except for when the wifi is on, then it uses around 1% each 4-5 minutes, but with the phone idling all night it will use 2 or 3 %
Make sure you stop maps and music app after you use those
CM7 does have battery problems. You can try putting francisco's tweaks along with his sql patch. Will give you some kind of slight increase in battery performance.
You can use the calibration of the battery.
How you guys get even 2 days of battery??
I am tired of tryin gall the combinations of settings / kernel / ROMS nothing has helped till date.
I am not able to get battery for a complete day. Freaking it drains it off in 9-10 hours.
There are users who are getting 2 days of battery with wifi/edge on at all the time, with overclocked phone, and many other options enabled. But I am not getting any of these.
My usage includes
* 1-2 hrs of music
* 1-2 hrs of edge
* frequent texting but can be summarized for 1 hr in a day.
* hardly 10-30 mins of calls
* 10-30mins of games
CyanogenMatt 1.1
franco kernel 19.4 gbs v18cfs
InteractiveX 480-600 mhz
all this is normal and way below average usage but still I am not able to get battery life. I hate recharging the phone after every few hours. Have searched forums tried suggestion but nothing worked.
Maybe I am choosing wrong combination of ROM / kernel , I have gone complete clueless now, any help or suggestion is welcome.

It is because of usage patterns. Based on your usage, I think its normally for your battery to drain just like that.

Thanks for replying terratrix,
but users are using continuous wi-fi and get a complete day of battery, I dont even use that. AFAIK wi-fi uses more battery than EDGE. Can you suggest me proper ROM+kernel combination?
I installed cyanogenmatt 1.1 thinking it would improve battery life but it didnt.

Well theta because they are using the phone less often. You are wrong , wifi consumes far less battery than edge. Wifi on standby drains minimal battery.

It's mostly about background tasks. Install supercharger and a task killer to kill your tasks on screen off. Then disable unneeded autostarting applications with Gemini or Autostarts. This way I get about 1% battery for 4 hours without using my phone. And I strongly advice you to use 480/YourMaxStable with SmartassV2 as Smartass automatically manages the current CPU frequency. Your brightness should be between 25 and 50%. And also disable any unused at the moment radio (including mobile data).
how would I disable radio?
do you mean not using radio is disable it??
Well here's how my phone goes on for 2 days
android assistant app for cleaning memory every 10 minutes and for killing apps on startup
Advanced task killer for killing tasks(set on auto kill)
Antutu power saver which has some good features(puts phone on flight mode at night for few hours)
or use juice defender(has extra features)
try keeping edge/3g/wi-fi/bluetooth/gps off when not using(saves a lot of battery)
reduced brightness(40-50%)
and keep screen off when not in use
also keep OC freq at 729/480 its the best know OC for our phone performance and battery wise
and InteractiveX is well know for battery saving
(i prefer on-demand because of performance and gaming )
the above things help me use my phone for 2 days or i must say 1&1/2 day
with 4-5 hours gaming(3d HD games)
1-2hours browsing the net
few messages and calls here and there
on a full charge and normal usage at the end of the day i have phone battery at 40-50%
A radio is basically a wireless I/O device. GPS, Bluetooth, Baseband, WiFi, FM... - these are different types of radios. They drain power when powered on so if you want battery life you should simply disable the ones that you aren't using at the moment.
@viv_jen: There is no need to autokill every 10 minutes if you don't have unneeded autostart applications. Task managers also drain battery if used too often. It's also a good idea to use the long-press back key feature of CyanogenMod (It kills the currently visible task).
To pitch in my 2 cents worth,
I've found wifi uses quite a bit less than edge/3g data on this particular phone.
This phone has shocking battery life, even for a smartphone.
What you are getting seems about normal for your usage. My battery will be between 20 and 30% after 4 hours of music and 3g browsing. Once I stop doing these things it goes down at about 2% an hour on wifi, about 3% an hour on 2g, and 5% an hour on 3g. I ended up keeping my charge cable on me when I go places and actively use the phone, and "topping up" the battery when I'm sitting at a desk or whatever.
thank you guys for valuable inputs,
could the combination of ROM + kernel also help?
I tried cyanogenmatt + goldenleaf after some of the user suggested that it gives enough battery.
I also heard void gives a good battery.

@nogav: WiFi drain depends mostly on Tx (Transmit) power. Mostly we receive information from the internet (Which means Rx is way more important than Tx), so after running a few speed tests (Speedtest.net app) at each option avaliable at the Wifi Tx Power app from market I found out that internet speed at a Tx power of 4dBm is roughtly the same as for 32dBm. Also, our device only supports 801.11b/g mode, so internet speed isn't the best thing about Optimus One (Excluding HDSPA).
@droidevil: The thing that drains most battery is Stagefright. It is able to play 520p mp4 videos almost smoothly, but it is a battery killer. Hardware acceleration also increases performance at the cost of battery, but it is reasonably balanced. Other things that depend on roms: number of preinstalled apps. Deodexed apps load faster, and the less of them there are, the faster the phone boots and runs. If you have about 100-200 programs installed, Autostarts, Advanced Task Killer and Supercharger are likely to be used.
thank you guys for your useful information..
Just raised all urs thanks meter for helping me out..
Well I have installed android assistant set to auto kill on every 10 mins.
Installed gemini and stopped the apps which are set to open on boot.
brightness is the minimum
480-728mhz with InteractiveX
so far 12 hours have passed by and have 50% left
Normal texting, gprs browsing, music no games though.
Lets see how far can I pull it off.

Nonono, don't use autokill, they are just crap, not needed, they drain more battery.
I have installed void forever to see whether it helps in battery performance.
The ROM itself is very fast, just wondering which kernel will best suit the rom to give the desired battery performance.
Any suggestions please..!!!!!
My LG optimus v running iho cm7 only gets about two hours of battery through normal use.

franco
and use interactiveX governor(if you want for battery)
franco's CFS / BFS?
I have read around that fserve's kernel also gives good battery...
IMHO, actually your battery drain is actually pretty good for a usage like that, I am using more or less the usage of yours and everyday I have to charge.
Hi,
just wondering, did someone try to find out if our CPU has DEEP IDLE mode and try to patch kernel for Mini/Mini Pro/Active/Ray with DEEP IDLE support from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297535
That would be fantastic approach to have such mode for small battery capacity of our devices.
The cpu is not the same as nexus s. And the power mainly drain from screen, cpu, wifi and so on. It's meaningless to save power on idle.

meaningless or not - this is a retorical question, I'd like to have 1-2% drain during idle at whole night instead of 1-2% during hour and probably everyone would like to have same...
As for CPU - do you have SPECs? Maybe we have analog of such mode?
If you want to lose only 1% in one night, simply activate flight mode.
When all Wireless connections are disabled and the screen is off, there is almost no battery drain

Hi,
my problem is that when I had the "Deep Idle" feature turned on, some of the apps were opening with extremely long lags (2-5sec). I turned it off my phone is much more quicker and I do not have to wait 4 seconds just to open simple call log. BUT my battery consumption is MUCH more bigger when the device is idle. Is there any possibility to improve this battery life without the deep idle feature on? OR are there any patches to apply to avoid this negatives in deep idle? I use AOSP+ 2.3 and Glados 2.7 kernel.
Thanks
Have a few question about problem with my phone. When i useing wifi, playing some game the phone is so hot on the upper side . Also when i using GPS almost the whole phone is very hot. And final question is it better to use wifi or 3g network when i am on internet (beacouse of battery life, which one drain battery more). Thanks
Hi,
Stock or Custom?
Battery Temperature? (use SetCPU - for example)
my highest Temp is 41°C charging - charging & usage 48°C (dunno F :silly with 2000mAh Bat.
WiFi needs less power so better use WiFi, if possible
Greetz
No i didn't root phone , and the phone is hot in the uper side where is earphone not down where is battery. I also use easy battery saver. Thanks for advice for wifi
Hi guys, I have a problem with cm10 based rom (PA2.53), cpu doesn't go into deep sleep when it is supposed to. It does go in deep sleep, but for very short lenghts of time, during the night (with quiet time enabled and jd plus) i lost more than 10%/hr (from 100 to 20 in little more than 6 hours idle), I checked cpu spy and of 6 hours idle little more than 1 was in deep sleep and 5 at minimun clock freq (134), there's no app keeping the phone up as battery was drained for 70% by android os (which also shows cpu awake for more than 5hrs).
Any suggestion to fix this? I know battery drain is "supposed" to be high on jb, but isn't over 10%/hr in idle a little too much?
Using mesa 2.3, smartassV2, min 134 max 1200, jd plus, startup manager and fast dormany tweaks in init.d...any suggestions to fix this problem?

PIMP MY ROM.search for it on google.and use aroma version,it has more options.works perfectly on cm10.lagless and after night got 1% battery drained.

I already had that, the fast dormancy tweaks come from there, also installed every battery tweak pmr has to offer, but still draining like hell. I checked better battery stats and there are no unusual wakelocks...

I tried a last resort solution and it seems to be working (not too stable but better than before) I completely discharged the phone, recharged it fully while shut down and battery consumption seems to have improved. I lost 6% right away when unplugged it from charger within 30minutes, but now i have 12.30h running on battery and it's down to 84%, so aside form the 6% that drained immediately from 100 to 94 the rest seems to be keeping up pretty well. I'll keep an eye on it though as it seems to vary from time to time...In two days new pa and new fxp should be out, I'll see if that makes anything better...
Thanks for reading and for the replies so far
I think i found out what is causing the high battery drainage, it's the mobile data connection. For some reason JD (or the system) can't shut it down when phone is at sleep. Last night i switched mobile data off and in the morning i had almost less than 0.5% drainage, as soon as i turned it back on battery percentage started dropping at sight...
Battery Calibration
Download BatteryCallibration app from the market and follow the steps given there..
Helps me everytime i have a battery issue...
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
Thanks for suggestion but that doesn't help, i used zepps die hard calibrator before, but it's not a battery problem. Random processes at random times will keep the cpu running when it's supposed to sleep, that's what's draining the battery..
Perhaps an app is polling the net too often, facebook anyone?
Xperia mini (smultron), CM10 150, Xtended kernel + rom
No i have app control which prevents any unwanted things to start-up automatically (and fb is on the no-fly list )
I think i kinda sorted it out, what causes the problem is thethering. When i disconnect tethering according to phone wifi and data are off, but in truth they keep staying on. I shut tether off and can still see my hotspot from pc even if wifi is completely off on the phone! So it's wifi and data which keep staying awake (even with screen of for long periods of time) and slowly drains the juices.
