Lasts me a day, I'm happy about that. There have been complaints with other HTC devices running CM7. Some say the battery is better, some argue differently. I guess that's what you're gonna have to live with.
...unless you've never tried battery recalibration?

Oh okay thx anyway, anyway im back to my sense now cos kindda missed it, btw whats battery callibration? Havent heard of that b4...

Search on the Market for a calibration app. Basically, every the you flash a rom, kernel, or change the battery, the phone thinks nothing has happened and will keep preset values of what's max capacity and what's min. Calibrating a battery properly will help redefine these values to more accurately reflect power consumption. In the end, you gain a few hours anyway.

I'm big on battery life so wondering if any 2.2.1 roms have decent battery life yet before flashing one.
My battery life has always been pretty good but it started going downhill after messing with set CPU without really knowing what I was doing so I uninstalled the app. I've never wiped my battery stats. Any benefit in doing this?
people have different views on different roms but from mostly reading up as a noob i have noticed it is the kernel and modem that you are running that matters. so try to do some research on it. and see which one fits best.

i havent flashed alot like only 4 to 6 roms, and not to disrespect any of the developers but i have only used 2 types, trigger and team whiskey roms. both are good in my opinion. i dont do much fancy stuff just text call use data sometimes play games etc etc. regular use.
another thing i did to save battery life was turn 3g/4g off when i am not using it. just to leave it on eats battery alot. im very new and still learning. this is just an opinion.
above in the noob guide sticky you can find how to recalibrate your battery for maximum power as well. i will be doing that as well since i missed on that part.
i have never till yet flashed a different kernel or modem, but for kernel after reading a lot i have seen that people prefer tigerblood or somethign like that kernel. with their roms.
i hope this helps
I suggest an an called Tasker (from the market) which will let you set a profile that turns off data when the screen is turned off. Saves a lot of battery power.
Oh, yeah, of course you should set screen brightness to 10% and use a Dark homescreen.
Never had to do any of those things. But always had at least a full day's use out of one charge.

Same here, best battery life I've had to date I think. However, I'm not texting much right now and that seems to kill my battery faster than anything.
ToXIC HEROES/TOXIC SMOKE - its freaking awesome and fast as hell with Voodoo and Fugu Tweaks enabled.
Edit:Sorry misread the OP topic - Toxic Smoke is a 2.2 ROM not a 2.2.1.
Well I like both roms and have used both wat do u think of them tell me advantages and disadvantages
I'm sorry, you've tried both... you know the pros/cons....
CM7... pros, everything. Cons, battery/gps
How bad is the battery an used it for short time and it was on charger
It's worst than stock... it's not horrendous, like it used to be... the new kernel has really helped battery, but it is worse than stock. It's worth it to have the options CM7 brings.
No GPS was a deal breaker for me, but I said F it.
When I tried it I could not turn it off do u have turn off problem were u can't turn it off unless battery is out to
Only when connected to the usb cable though right?
on cm you get about 10 hrs of battery life, and no GPS, there is Voodoo sound and color and the theme chooser.
I dont use TW roms so I cant say anything about them
Both it won't shut off its weird

what for? there's no need in cm7..
Is the new version solid enough to run as a daily driver? I ran it about a month ago for a week, but came back due to lots of instability issues.
there is none but it will become even faster and I love speed so I hope so

Ok so I'm new to the vibrant and I've been having some real crappy battery life. After like 2 hours of medium use on cm7 my battery is at 50%. When I was using my g2 I'd get like 8 hours of medium use running cm7 oc'ed 1.3ghz. But I have my vibrant at 1.2ghz and its horrible, same @ 1ghz. Is there any fix for this or should I start checking out some extended batteries?

CM7 isnt going to be the best battery anyway
flash a different kernel (dont know which iv never been on CM7) or go back to a 2.2 rom
i was using glitch hl kernel. and i dont get why i would go back to a froyo rom. froyo is outdated. but cm7 always had good battery life on my g2 so i dont get how a bigger battery would ause lower battery life.
Try bali kernel and callibrate ur battery with an app from the market u should see a difference

If htc released the source for the g2's newest android version, you'd notice a decent difference between the two phones. We're still missing some key drivers and an official leak.

Good idea but wanted try more software changes first before goin and spending money
Sent from my Vibe using XDA App
This post looks complicated but it was pretty simple.
You mentioned not wanting to spend money, so I will warn you, it involves purchasing two apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8910035&postcount=31
This is incase you want to find out exactly why your battery life is crap and fix it, rather than living with it and buying cheap extra batteries (which is just as fine a solution).
As the title says!
I always get the same battery life on any rom's flashed i even do calibrations.
Now don't get me wrong im not complaining or anything its just that before i could see the battery life changes in each rom ?
Can a battery get over used (old) ?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Lipol batteries loose charge capacity eventually after like 10000 charge cycles or something. Only poorly coded/alpha roms will have a serious effect on your battery life hope this helps

I had it for 2 years almost now but im quite sure i didnt hit the 1k charge cycle but poorly coded rom could have effect on battery life?
I mean some rom's advertise as better battery life and such but i never find a difference :O

I was just teasing buddy
& getting to the point, we can add some battery tweaks to a custom rom than the stock rom. But we have to keep in mind that the less battery consuming means less performance. For instance, we can reduce wifi scan interval, so the battery life will be somewhat tweaked. But alas! Then users will complain that there is a issue with wifi, network finding time is very slow in this rom, etc,etc.
So the conclusion is, if you need a rom to be good or perfect, we'll need everything to be balanced. So everyone should be happy. So the battery life maybe same in every rom ( depending on usage) .

Hi, I need some battery help, this is my first android phone after running with ios for the last 4 years, I'm using th S3 and loving it however I'm having to charge the phone twice a day. Like I say this is my first android so rooting is new and I unsure what I'm doing here. I've followed plenty tips to save battery life but it's still running down too quick.
After 3 1/2 hours of very little use my battery is at 70%
Standby has zapped 24% of that
Screen another 24%
Internet 21%
System 12%
OS 8%
These safe the main culprits for the battery use, I understand you can do something when you root the devise, any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
This should be in the Q&A section, but please be specific as to what exactly you were doing? (Gaming, browsing in 3g or wifi, etc.) If you just got the phone however, just wait for about three and four days and the real battery life would start to emerge. This is the time when most phones can actually last for almost a day or two. Another thing is that you should download Better BatteryStats and find apps that give the most wakelocks. Just take a screenshot and upload it here if you need help. And live wallpapers and widgets do cause some unnecessary battery drain.

I've had it since release. I hoped that JB would fix the battery. I'll try and get a screenshot later
maybe something stopping your device from going into deepsleep.
One use Better Battery Stats ,
Two read the multitude of battery threads .

If you're not using your phone and it is still at 800mhz, there is something wrong. :laugh: what the hell you talking about.

I think he's talking about underclocking the max cpufreq to 800 mhz when you're sure that you're not going to be using the device for a while. I think it's a pretty good idea actually, but certainly not practical for everybody especially heavy users like me

Yeah. I sometimes do that when im not near a charger and my battery is dwindeling. Anything less than 800mhz is pretty bad though when your used to the rapidness.
Looks like im selling this badboy anyway. Hopefully get a lg nexus next week. It seems to me that to acheive proper butteryness you have to use toichwiz ui. None of the cm10 or even when i use nova or any other launcher. None of are as smooth as tkuchwiz.Im mad for mods and flashing so think its time for a switch.

Thinking of the same too actually. But based on the rumors, I hear more nexuses coming from other OEMs are to be actually revealed rather than just from lg. Although if the nexus 4 really does come with just 8gb of internal storage without a microsd slot then I'm sticking with my S3. Although I hear that new parts of code are already starting to show up in the Origen-board-something for exynos processors, this might turn out to be a gamechanger for our problems with cm10 or other pure android goodies.
