Hi guys, I am new on this forum. I have an Xperia x10i and I have a problem with it, with his battery actually. So the problem started when i have upgraded to CM7. Actually in the first couple of days I do not have any problem with it, but in one day i shut down my phone, I took the battery off( it was ~55/56%) to put my sim in other mobile, and when i put it back the battery was 1%. I did not know what to to so i charged it up. in ~50 mins he was 100% and since then my battery is 0 in ~15 hours. and i use just the msg aplication to talk with my GF. no games nothing.I.ve played a game last night and from 46% in 30mins it was 29%. i have use the wipe battery stats,clear all things, putting CM7 again on it. i use "launcher application but i do not think that this is the problem. bofore the 56%->1% case the phone last 2/3 days but now i have to charged it every night.
ps. And some of my SMS text do not deliver to the person. min it says that "msg recived" but they do not recive anyting from me...
Please can someone help me?
Should i go with the official version?
Should i try a different ROM? wich one?[pls tutorial]
it could be the sim with the SMS problem?
Sounds like its the rom to me.I had the same problem with the THGo rom,worked out it would be lucky to last 15 hours doing nothing on it.
I have tried about all the roms on here(apart from championswimmers one),and Ive formed the conclusion that the minuses cancel out the pluses.
This is why Im on a streamlined stock rom type of setup.I can understand how people want to change away from the stock stuff after using it for 2 years,but Ive not really reached that point yet.
nb. no offence to developers hard work on here
Welcome to XDA!
I had the same problem back in 1.6, was going to the airport with around 60% battery and then dropped my phone, battery fell out and when I rebooted, I had "1%" left.
Ofc I was shocked ****less (battery dropped from 60% to 1%) Soon I figured out to pull the battery out and put it back in, battery went back to normal.
Hope this helps!

Hey man, welcome to XDA! xD
Anyways on to your battery problem, as prodigy says, try taking it out and putting back in (Mite try that got few problems atm xD) anyways 2nd, try the calibration method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943626&highlight=battery) or there is a app on Android market but am not to sure how accurate it is, 2nd are you using task killers if so get rid, they kill ur battery, i dont know your skill level so try this at ur own risk, undervolt the CPU using No Frills CPU free on market, DoomLord is the guy to ask bout UV/OV so post on his forum or Q/A also there is a video sony made about increasing battery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjuQyFPKlb0) hope these tips help, Oh and on the text problem, are u on BB .71? you cant actually send the texts out if not.
@XDroidie626 humm i do not know where should i see that... i.m a lil noob on this cha[pter . if you can help me, it would be great-> PM if you want

I am so sick and tired of my battery draining so fast, i lose 10% every like 20 min WITHOUT touching my phone!
-I tried reconditioning my battery, didnt work.
-Went to stock and flashed, didnt work.
-wiped factory/reset, flashed rom, then cleared cache and dalvik + fix permissions, didnt work.
I really dont get it, i mean i know its normal for this to likely happen because you flash alot of ROM's and i do, I've been on Axura, Nero, and the M9 clone roms, but reconditioning the bbattery should have done it...but it didnt, and im sure i did it the right way, i used Master's way....
so tell me....what do i do?
Find a friend with a vibrant, tell him ur gonna do something cool to his phone, and switch batteries

"Find a friend with a vibrant, tell him ur gonna do something cool to his phone, and switch batteries"
well, he's kinda right, you need to see if it's the battery or the phone, if it's a hardware problem, there is nothing you can do about it but change the battery. and the best way to know is to use someone else's for a while to compare, knowingly preferably
i bought a 2800mah extended battery for mine.... and its SWEEEEEET, never have to worry about my phone dying on me anymore! even if i do flash several ROM's a day!
Just out of curiousity when you flash new builds on to your phone are you flashing at 100% battery? I had a similar problem until i started making sure to be charged to 100% before I flashed. Its also worth noting that I seem to get better battery on ROMS I have flashed over stock JFD, this may just be a coincidence but maybe it will help.
go to the samsung website and but a new battery for your Vibrant
i did it sao i have 2 batteries to switch them around so im always charged
The best advice I have seen regarding batteries:
1. Always flash at 100%
2. It takes a couple days fo a rom to settle in.
3. Use system tools and see what apps are constantly running.
4. You can use Titanium backup to freeze apps you don't need in the background.
5. I always turn the brightness way down. These screens are very bright and if you look at battery usage it's always the display that uses the most power.
Find the combination that works for you. Nero4 has been very good for me, I flashed Nero5 and it really ate my battery for some reason. I'm currently running Nero4 with KA7 and it seems good so far. I've heard good thing about KA6 & KA7. With Nero4 I was at 40+ hours and still had battery left. I also see good reports of Nero5 + KA7.
Good luck.
wow my batt sucked befor ka7 i got it stock tmo froyo i let my btt drain went wiped batt stats let phone xharge overnight bam i could not be more happier with my phone/music player and how long it last thru the day i also down clock cpu sometimes from now on using setcpu ill see how lont this will mke batt last,dude froyo was eatin my batt alive righ as i wad watching batt stat go down in front of my eyes now that i got rrue froyo made truly for my phone i think this helped alot my 5 cnts
btw hatic feedback is off autosync for email is off i check my emil when i need to try also dark backgrounds reducing screen cokors eatin batt and if u use widgets try samsung widgets i think they re mde for batt life more than other stuff on market also advanced task kiler hit kill once a day or two days
eugene373 ha made a rogram u cn find on mrket it hels condition ur battery and its free forgot the nme of it but i bet someone here can providethe name
Thanks for all your help guys, ill try each of your advice/techniques and report back!

Hello,
I'm new to android and new to rooting/roms, but I've developed a bit of knowledge in a short time, so please bear with me. I am currently running Das Bamf Remix 1.6 with stock Kernal. It should be noted that I did a full Davlik/Data cahce wipe and reset battery stats prior to flashing. It has been running great and battery life has been good for a week. Two days ago out of the blue my gmail temporarily wouldn't sync (it showed I had mail but wouldn't display the message), but withing 5 minutes I was able to get it to work again and havn't had the problem since. Then this morning I woke up to find that the phone rebooted itself in sleep mode during the night while I was sleeping. Does anybody know why these things happened?, other than those two incidents, the phone has been perfect. Thanks in advance for your help!
Phone will ocasionally reboot out of no where. Some times its few and far between, other people tweak their phone to where its instable and it reboots daily. If its once a week, your good.
I have seen that bug with gmail too. Dont know what causes it, or what clears it. I usually reboot and it goes. But it will also clear in time.
Thanks for the info. What have you found to be the best battery kernal for das bamf?, the included kernal or is there something else you recommend?
every phone is going to like kernels different, just pick one to test, see if battery life goes up or down after a few days. Then try another... keep going to you find one YOU like the best.
Im still rocking one of Imosyn's old kernels. Its doing great for me so I just havent bothered upgrading. I just hit a new record of 65 hrs this weekend on a single charge but that was extremely light usage.
What Imosyn Kernal version are you using on the Thunderbolt?, or are you on a different phone?. I just want to use the one that most people are having success with, have you heard what is the most popular for TB?, because when I google, I get a million different answers.

O.O crazyyyy
use one of the 3 big dogs, imoseyon, ardynalyne, or ziggys (from his web site)
from there you need to decide if you want overclocked or under volted. that will narrow it down to a handfull. From there you will have to test what works best on your phone. No one can tell you what will work best on your phone.
the one im using from imoseyon you wont find anywhere, and i wont give it out. He doesnt support it anymore so no sense in worrying about it.
Thanks, I can sense what kernal your using...
Hi sorry to bother everyone but i'm kinda sick of failing atm
I hate how the battery life is so short on the x10 so then i looked at eric's ewjet rom. some guy said he got 4 days battery
BUT when i;ve installed it, it always drains in less than a day
i;ve reinstalled it about 3 times already. can some1 help me?
and could u maybe outline the steps simply?
unfortunately X10 are the well known device that drains battery quicker than many other phones. You might want to wait 2 days or 3 to wait for the new GB 2.3 firmware to be released as it is told that it will improve problems of battery consumption
My girlfriend gets around 50 hours with thi phone, some surfing, and quite a bit playing games, she gets nearly triple the battery life that i get with my sensation. Edit: this is with wolfbreaks rom, she is quite happy with it. damn i need some sleep

On the stock x10, there are a bunch of apps that run in the background that really don't need to.
Another thing you can do is install something like a Task Manager and end applications that aren't being used. An example, is that if I open my camera app and close it when I am done, my camera app stays open for hours after I have exited the program....I could kill it using Task Manager.
Don't use animated desktop....keep bluetooth and data and wifi off when you aren't using them.
My stock phone would only last a day. My BlueSpark ROM, with light use, will run for 2.5 days without having to recharge. When I made my own custom ROM, that was very minimalist, it lasted for 3 days of light use with no charge.
You could try flashing a different baseband, I've heard that'll help.

I'm on Wolfbreak's rom and I only get 1 day out of the battery. What baseband is she on?
Im starting this thread because of every battery thread I've read people NEVER seem to solve the problem unless they replace their ATRIX. Now a few questions. This is directed to any ATRIX owner in an attempt to find a solid solution.
1. Did your ATRIX only start having battery issues after upgrading to gingerbread?ATRIX or have you had issues beginning from stock froyo?
2. Has any solution suggested by anyone ever worked for you?
3. Does your ATRIX get hot and battery drains extremely fast?
4. Are you frequently connected to 4g H+?
If you answer no. To #2 and yes to #3 I suspect it may be a hardware problem...
on the battery this is what I see and find strange and this is the battery that came with the phone.
1880mah
1880/1930
Mah(min/typ)
7.0/7.1
Wh(min/typ)
Idk where to find production number so I guessed its this [GB/T 18287]
On the phone idk the specific so I took a guess too XD [SKU:65230]
if someone knows the two above please correct me but anyways I posted those because we can compare for those that have a problem and maybe pinpoint it to be a factory defect. Again I am doing this because this battery AND heating issue is aggravating and after 2 months I can't stand it anymore no fixes ever worked so help me and those with the issue out by providing information thanks.
Hello,
1-Yes
2-Not really, I have increase the battery life but not good as the stock Froyo.
3-Yes, but as I remember it get hot too on Froyo. Less or more... I don't know.
4-Always
I have buy an Andida 2200mAh battery and use it since 3 week, I will return to the stock battery tomorrow to check if there is a difference.
1- Nope, my battery has always lasted for around 8-10 hours everyday. (I play games and browse the internet everyday).
2-Never had any battery problem so....
3-Not at all. My Atrix has always been cool.
4. for about 4-5 hours a day (usually i am on wifi but wifi or not.....i have the same battery life).
It could be a ROM problem that you are having, maybe doing a clean install of a ROM could help you(do a complete wipe before installing the ROM). Are you using faux 123's kernel? It under-clocks your Atrix to as low as 216 GHz when your handset is idle but overclocks it to 1.1 GHz when it use. You could download setcpu to under-clock it for better battery saving and this will make your phone less hot.
You can and should also download a battery app from the market and see what your battery temp is like compared to other users. If it's a hardware issue indeed, you better return your Atrix and get a new one asap as it could cause you harm in the future.

That's just it with everything stock gingerbread my friends ATRIX doesn't heat up as hot and eat through batteries like a fat guy an a dozen doughnuts in one sitting. We both had stock when I tried this his phone easily outlasts mine both on 4g and a factory reset I tested this when he asked me to root his phone I was gunna kill its bat and charge it to root and install unlock etc. And to my surprise holy sh#t his battery life WAY outlasted mine, AND HIS DEVICE IS ONE.MONTH OLDER i've had this ATRIX for 2 months now so its none of whatever everyone is saying about battery caliBS its a firm suspicion on a hardware flaw, the sooner people can find it the sooner Motorola can replace defective handsets, ridiculous, two stock gingerbread motorolas with 100% stock and mine only lasts about had as
long as my friends own who gets battery results everyone brags about.
i own 3 atrixes ive had an atrix since launch day had its issues at first but one thing that was never a problem was the battery it was always amazing lasted 2 days sometimes well since the offical ota uPdate i updated only one that way its my main phone and right away i noticed the heat coming from the metal clip holding the sd card then next i noticed the batt life was losing 10 every 20 mins or so. since i have rooted it just so i could try n use tb to freeze all the bloatware and still nothing then i tryed just bout every other method on this forum so i didnt wanna lose my warrenty on that 1 so i didnt unlock it so i took my other atrix with a slightly cracked screen it was running on 4.1.26 so i rooted it unlocked it and charged too 100 then flashed to alien v3 so wen it was done it upgraded to gb and right away i noticed the heat from it just like my other one and battery life was losing 10% every 20 mins just like my other one i have also tryed everything on this forum im lost now dnt no wat to do somebody please help also as upset i am about this happing im very relieved to c im not the only person with this issue
Hi!
I tried to search for the solution, but didn't find one.
I've installed MIUI-NB ROM recently (unfortunately, I cannot post there, because I don't have 10 posts to post in developers' forums; if somebody can append the question to that topic, I'd appreciate).
Generally, I like this ROM very much, but today I have experienced HUGE lags when accessing the Internet via mobile data (especially noticeable on 3G). Load average jumps to 8 and more, lags are so noticeable that render the phone unusable. Did someone experience that?
Reboots do not help. Switching to WiFi cures the lags immediately, thought the load remains pretty high (about 2.5).
Did someone else experienced that and can give a bit of advice, please?
I did, I couldn't figure it out. I believe it has to do with either kernal or modem. Try miui LE 9.1 which is what I have with the kb5 modem and its super fast. I've haven't experienced any lag yet.

Its more likely do to the fact that he adds to much bloat and useless apps....hogging up all the ram.
I also use lithium with kb5 modem....can't beat it
Hey, i was a NB supporter, and loyal too, but it started to crash on me lately so today i went to Miui PRIME and so far.. its AMAZING no lag what so ever.
I heard Lithium was good too but i asked one guy and he said he got 8 hrs from light usage... so i was like ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
I was also on NB but it was too laggy ...so had to move on to lithium 9.1 ...which is working great
I had to go back to cm7, I started to get reboots during calls and had to take the battery out to shut it off. If i put the battery in it would fire up on its own. That was a first.
Ok here's an update I'm on LE 9 and I'm at 72% battery at 7 hours. Ill give you guys a total of hours when down to 2%.
This is with light to moderate usage, YouTube, FB, xda, web, texts and calls
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Don't expect great battery life with any miui...I think the best I've gotten was around 12 hrs with lite use....I went and got cpu master and uv'd to 800 but im not sure it really helps but it definitely oc's very well

Battery usage isnt a huge prob for me, my problem is after a week or two ive gotta reflash the same rom, setup my apps. hate too but im thinking of flashing back to stock and running bionix. not having a stable build is getting frustrating.

How's the battery life on MIUI Prime? My phone, too, has been crashing after a day's use. I would have to restart it every 1-2 days in order for it to become responsive again. It gets annoying and I'm already contemplating on going back to 2.2 again. lol
Agreed I've been thinking the same thing.
Ok guys last update on my battery before I go to sleep. I'm at 6% battery left and it has lasted me 16 hours. I am using juice defender so that is helping. I used the phone to listen to music, FB, text, calls.

I was on bionix, and it was starting to drag and GPS wouldn't lock. so I wanted to try a newer ROM, just flashed MIUI-NB, but the low battery life worries me.
OK look at it this way....you know how your computer starts out really fast and all...then after awhile ....after so many downloads and websites visited it starts to slow down and then starts freezin up and all that....well that's what's happening to your phone,after all...it is a computer.
What I do is completely wipe everything including formatting system and SD and external SD...reflash your favorite rom and WHAM! Fast as hell again.
Thing to remember is all the BS you install and uninstall,isn't completely gone....its there and its hogging up your ram.
Just a hint guys... this rom your talking about is slap full of bloat alot of it is needed just to get fair results becuz of all the crap that's been done to it .
I'm back to 2.2 after almost 8 months of playing with miui and gingerbread,and I've realized something....the grass isn't greener on the other side.....especially when the proper files have not been released.
I do not mean to offend anyone...I am just posting my opinion off what I see after many many flashings.
I love miui with all the customizing that is made available with it but its just not what it could or should be and probably never will be and you can thank Samsung and T-Mobile for that.....unfortunately the vibrant is fading out as with the smartphone before it and the one before that.
One thing is for sure though.....the vibrant was the beginning of a Great Era. and that is a fact
