Guys i always read about battery life problems in x2. Is this only on custom roms? Also is there a official release rom that someone removed the bloat on?
Thanks in advance.

Running a milestone x2(same stats as the droid x2) on a stock rom with juice defender on aggressive, screen brightness at minimal, approximently 30 min-an hour of web surfing, aprox 100 texts, a couple hours of music with decent battery life...14hrs and 40% + of my battery remaining..usually around 60-70% without music..setup is key..after adding juicedefender and dimming my screen brightness all the way my battery life increased by almost double
I have great battery life running eclipse. I'm a heavy user too.

There is the 2.3.4 naked in the sticky....my battery doesnt seem any better or worse then on my older phones but I am a HEAVY user so battery life alwasy sux XD
so whats the battery bug i read about?
If you didn't apply the fix... Then the bug is that on 2.3.4 if you reboot your phone your % bsttery will jump a bit lieing to you for as much as an hour or two, this can be gotten around by only rebooting at a full charge or applying the fix (basically its 2.3.3s battery reading)

Hate to post anything about battery life, but I must. I would post this in the dev thread but not enough posts yet.
First off battery life was not that bad on froyo and understand GB has issues but this seems a bit extreme. I am running Full version of Gingetitis and other state battery life is great but not for me. I did full drain and battery wipe and calibration last night but seems even worse now . Phone has been on for 37 minutes and battery is down to 80%. brightness is turned all the way down, screen off in 1 minute, I have run speedtweak and set to battery saver, no gps, no blue tooth. I love gingeritis and the sense 3.0 so any assistance would be great.
Nope battery life is terrible on chingys GB rom. I was running it not good.
I'm using dasBAMF REMIX V6 amazing battery !

which kernel you are using?
i use the mr2 radio and 3.0.1 kernel. The batterylife is worse than froyo i agree, but it shouldnt be too bad to not last for a day.
Also, i think 4G drains a lot. My area switched form 3G to 4G and its gone worse.
I am running the default kernel, haven't flashed anything else. Unfortunately I do not live in an area with 4G so I just get 3g, I do run WiFi when at home.
I have the same issue.
I just tweak the speedtweak into option 5)
I went out taday. tb lost 10% battery per hr. Is this normal?

Did you turn off 3g in the settings?
I have turned off 3g lately, when I can get wifi, to see if it will help but haven't noticed much difference.
This is interesting because I'm on gingeritis with the included kernel and my battery life has been very good.

If everyone post their usage and battery drain condition. That will be more help us to realize our TB. Cause we might have different phone before, and we might compare TB with our privious phone. So I think this is the different replies on this thread.
ex. my previous phone is droid 2 global, and it has terrible battery drain as well.
Now I got TB for a couple days, and I feel TB get more battery drain problems. (of course, it is the first 4G LTE phone )
kernel: imoseyon 3.01
baseband: 1.39.00.0430
rom: Gingeritis v1.0
and I set speedtweak.sh as battsaver 5) and battery tip on rom's op.
that's I do to my phone now.
And I lost 10% battery life per hour (use 4G to surf on net)
Is my battery drain case terrible?
(I think only comparsion can help us to know where is the problem )
flashed a kernel a zip file,and 2 fonts.
Rebooted 4 time I total.

well...I think most android phone will face this problem in recent period.
I have nexus 1, droid 2, and TB. Only nexus 1 has better battery life.
It seems that delay battery drain is a big task for later android pone.
Try dream kernel. Using Gingeritis with it has given me superb battery life.

I'm running 1.0 with kernel that comes with it with rapist and battery life was alright. Got extended battery this weekend. It takes away from the tbolts sleekness but man its worth it. Good 9 hours of web YouTube facebook phone and texting and its at 51% and still strong. Love it.

I agree! I was running BAMF froyo remix with outstanding battery life. Made the switch to gingeritis and the battery life was so-so, tried the dream kernel and for a few days the battery life was as good as froyo. Then random reboots forced me back to stock kernel with gingeritis with normal on speedtweak and it is slightly better than before.
There should be a new dream kernel out soon, I plan to try that one when it drops, dream kernel was great when it worked.

your stock kernel version is?
I am running gingeritis and a full charge last me about 7 hours, on a good day. Mind you, I am over clocked to 1.4 and have a bad habit of checking my phone even when I haven't felt it vibrate or heard it ring. Because of this, I started to notice that when I would pull my phone out of my pocket, the screen would be on. I'm assuming that my constant movement at work is causing my volume button to be pressed, resulting in my display eating up 50% of my battery.
I've been running BAMF Remix Beta 6 for almost a week now. I just got the extended battery a few days. It's lasted anywhere from 12-16 hours on a full charge with 4G always on. Earlier today I had it on 3G only and lost 25% in about 4 hr and 40 min. I am using batterysaver in speedtweak.sh with the kernel that came with the ROM.
Ok so I've been searching and searching for something to fix this suck ass battery life. I've removed home from my apps. I've done everything.. I see that idle is at 80%, idk what else to do..

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.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
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.?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
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.
How did u do it?

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.

all roms are gonna be similar in terms of battery life. Battery life really depends on what measures you take to reduce idle usage.
-download "green power / premium" and set it to turn off data while the screen is off
-keep wi-fi, btooth and gps off when you're not using them
-use "setcpu" and create a profile for when the screen is off, limiting processor load
-download "battery calibration" and charge phone to 100%. Use the app.
I do all these things (I use battery calibration after flashing every new rom / kernel/ ect) and on CM7 with a 1.3ghz OC, I got 18 hours of battery life with high usage. I've only used 5% of my battery in 4 hours with little use (mostly idle)
I've tried pretty much every ROM. The one I got the best battery life out of was pi crust 0.7. I'm currently on Aura 1.1.3.8 bloat with the stock att kernel and battery life isn't horrible, but nowhere near as good as pi crust.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
+1 on πcrust 0.7 I can can 30hours + on a single charge with moderate use. Over Clocked 1.1hghz and Under volted slightly.
Yeah, I used to be on Picrust and the battery life was really good. I got tired of the stock experience though so I installed Alien w/ theme. The ROM is really good, but the battery life is not consistent. Sometimes it's as good as PiCrust and other times it barely gets through the night.
if you do the things I told you to, the alien rom will get much better battery life. I used to be on alien 4 and got 30+ hours on a full charge
Ninja SpeedFreak gives me by far the best battery life over anything else. 40-50hours. Tried Alien, RedPill, Aura Debloat, Aura Accounts, PiCrust, Froyo stock, GB stock (Bell). Nothing but SpeedFreak will consistently get me more than 20 hours.
I dont know if i just have a bad battery in my phone but ive had it about a week now. No matter how much i use it even if i dont use it at all i can pull it off the charger at 7am and by 1030 or eleven its dead. Ive tried multiple roms to see if it helped but nothing. 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've gone thru 2 RAZR's so far. The first one was burning 10% battery for every 5 minutes. of screen on time. The "new" one is 10% of battery per 10 minutes.

Are you completely stock? Your battery will run down very fast if you have a lot of background processes running. I am on a stock droid rzr .211(not maxx) with a lot of bloat frozen in the settings menu using default ics app control.It took me 14 hours to get to 50% yesterday with ~1hour+ of spent talk time.
Razr Maxx running stock rooted ICS .215 i get better battery life now compared to HC. When 4G is on its killing my battery in about 16 hours. If i just have 3g on all the time i get 30 hours easy with pretty much same usage. I have the maxx since the day it came out and im still amazed by the battery life.
I'm also happy that i have a heater for the winter. 4g on generates so much heat that one would think that there is a dedicated heating element in there to keep the phone working in sub-zero temperatures.
