I've been having problems with my ace since i bough it. The battery is very unstable... it seems that it drains incredibly fast and always at the same amounts... for example. When the charge levels is at 50% it drops to 35% in 2mins and it always happens when it reaches 50% or so...
I m currently using the cm7.1 unofficial port but this behavior existed since I bought it with froyo.
With the images I attached you can probably perceive the problem more clearly...
If you wonder if I calibrated the battery the answer is yes... and I did it as guided...
I don’t really know if this is a known issue or has been reported already but I haven’t found anything yet so please help...
Thank you so much...

It's a hardware/system problem with the battery reporting. Temperature is in 5% steps and battery sometimes in 10% steps. Voltage shows 4mv charged.... wtf? A battery replacement will not work.
Root users maybe try tinkering with the init.goldfish.rc file, it's related to battery.

Is it possible to just do an over all fix to the battery thing? I thought it was a bug that could be fixed by updates or something.

I've had some success with improving battery usage after freezing maps.
yeah, happens to my ace too.
after every full charged, it will suddenly drop to 80% about 5 minutes later.
strangely though, once I got the battery to discharge until 3% and it could still play music for another 3 hours. so I think it must be software problem.
i have done calibration twice, the problem still persist.
oh btw, currently i'm using cm7.1 grif and still loving it so far.

A combination that works for me - Miracle V3 ROM with the PureMotive battery mod and beta3.1 Ace Kernel. Thus far, almost 24 hours, no force closes, battery life much improved, stable at 844 oc, smartassV2 gov. Phone is not getting as heated as previously while playing any 3D game, it just feels faster and smoother...response time awaking from deep sleep is smooth, so many things seem to be functioning better.
Those who believe the improvement in battery life to be a placebo effect, I do not believe that to be the case. I could very rarely go past 6-7 hours without dropping to 10% power left. With this combination, I have gone more than 16 hours and still 40% power left to go.
I have tried so many roms and mods and they all worked really well, but most really did not improve battery life by more than a couple of hours. The battery mod really worked with the Miracle ROM (any CM7 I guess) and the beta-3 ace kernel also seems to be adding on to making the ace smooth, lag free even when underclocked to 424 max and 122 min, Smartass V2 and nook as default...in call profile 787 max 244 min.
Love and respect to all the Devs and all who mod and improve the creations...thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Thank you for sharing,

Great... Hope it does wonders for your ace as well...it sure has lessened the number of charges for me...

Continuing to note the extension in battery life. Go Power Master is further adding to battery life in super-saver mode. In the nine months that I have had the ace, the max battery life I ever got was 12 hours on one occasion, that too only because I was not able to use wi-fi because the wi-fi modem had issues and could not be used. Today's snapshots are decisive. With Go Power Master, one full charge has lasted 20 hours and there is still 30% of the battery to be used.
Which one did you use?
One with semi colon or without?

Well said mate, even i feel the same positive effect where many said it to be a placebo.. I have posted my battery drain screens on the Puremotive mod thread too.. This combination works great..
Hey, I was using the latest CM9 nightly and even used the Bluepill version but my battery on standby is like 31% drained in 6 hrs, in CM7 it drained only 5% in 6 hrs, I want to know that is it normal for CM9 on our device ? or should I do calibration or something ? Will I get better battery with RC2 Prefinal by hehappy ?

There are battery related problems reported for the cm9 nightly build. I also faced it. on my p500, its not consistent. One day it drains much and the other day its fine.

What does BetterBatteryStats say?
> I think your problem isnt normal. Im on ics and it doesnt drains like that on standby.. but dont compare ics with gb. Yes ics drains battery faster. But it is worth it. .on gb. 8hrs standby drains me 2% while on ics it drains about 6%.

Hi, two days before i installed the rom "CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12]" with the last FireKernel (28.08.2012) Non OC Official CM (tried install the nonofficial, but bluetooh doesn't work).
And it seems that mobile phone are hot... the temperature is between 30ºC-35ºC/36ºC, this is normal? Unfortunately i didn't notice the temperature of stock rom and didn't find many info in the internet...
Thanks for support
Mine is at 30.8c atm, screen has been on for about 10minutes.
Use set CPU to lower the cpu usage, set it to smartassV2.

Max CPU freq 1566 MHz, lowest 300~. I also undervolted. What could be causing this HORRIBLY AWFUL battery drain? I'm seriously considering taking this phone back if I can't get this worked out.

What governor did you pick when you flashed Buttered Toast? Also, try lowering your Max CPU.

I think it's time to change to another rom.
Check out my battery report using Yoda's rom v7.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36333382&postcount=869
The average Battery dropping rate is 1h = less than 1%
It can last 4d 0h 15m and the remaining battery is 12%
disable location tracking in google maps, disable gpu rendering. This will increase battery life.
Disable google now, if u don't use it.

SmartassV2 as well as some of the other included govenors in several of the custom kernels are not optimized or work very well on ICS.
Check this out it may help you choose the correct ROM that includes performance and batterylife!

I think most of the posts here are looking for simple tweaks to improve battery life, but it ignores the fact that something is seriously wrong.
I just flashed Gangnam with ButteredToast and the battery life drains about a percent per minute doing nothing. Flashed back to my old ROM and it was fine. Going to try Gangnam with stock kernel and see if it improves.
I think buttered toast is the problem.

Hello everyone, I didnt want to open a new thread so I picked this one up.
What is this? I bought the device in 2012 and the battery has lost 700 mAh capacity? How are your batteries performing? I know the information delivered by this app is not very reliable but I cant get the phone through a normal day anymore.
My suggestion
Maybe it is not just software error. Maybe your battery is damaged. Try to flash new AOSP rom with good kernel and see what will happen.

BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and/or GSAM Battery Monitor is the place to start... And by the way, CM9 is Android 4.0.x
This questions is kind of like asking "I get terrible gas mileage when I run premium fuel in my car, but good mpg when I run regular unleaded, why is that?"... The answer may be as simple as your "driving faster and farther"... What I am saying is a little more information is needed, because you are not giving enough in your original post.

Please read my last post and try some of those tools to see what's either keeping the phone awake or is draining the battery. There is nothing in the core operating system of any Android version that is going to drain the battery
