do battery calibration.
install battery saving apps.
do undervolt.
change your governor.
disable animations.
lower brightness.
use 2g instead of 3g or turn of data if you dont need it.
disable wifi if you dont need it.
check auto sync settings.

In recovery (clock wolrd mod or xrecovery) go to "advanced" menu and Wipe Battery Stats. Confirm and Enjoy ;D

Yeap calibrate should work. But do it when the battery full charged 100% . Anyway do you have any heating problem?

Do battery caliberation.....download battery caliberation app and follow the instructions...!! May be this will help....and don't worry about the background apps....!!

if your battery is hot, FC will be very bad.
you can:
1. change to 2G instead of 3G. i found that prolonged actively using 3G will get your handset heat up and then your battery drain very first;
2. turn off your handset and restart again. it may help.
these are from my own experience.

Do the callibrate thing as mentioned above...u can use battery saving apps like..
Juice defender, battery dr saver,any task killer from market..
Delete app dsp manager...as it is reported by many user that it drains the battery heavily by running in background...

I had similar issues, maybe it is related. See my post:

[Q] Xperia X10 Mini Pro poor battery life

Hello every one,
I am facing poor battery life with my x10 mini pro. Even I had my battery replaced recently. But still, the battery life is just about the same.
I tried following things...
1. Turning down the brightness down.
2. Turning off the data, background sync, 3g
3. Uninstalling the apps that runs on background
4. Deleting battery stats after installing new ROM (CM7 2.2.0)
I typically use my phone for 1hour of calls, 30mins of browsing, 1hour music playback, <20mins of gaming. And the battery will be drained in less than 8 hours.
And, another weird thing is, the battery fills up very very fast. It will take like 25mins to get to 100% from <15%.
Please, guide me what to do. This has been a serious head ache for me. Will flashing back to Eclair, Donut will solve the issue?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem!
I suggest flashing back to MiniCM7-2.1.9, my battery life was REALLY good on that version. But I updated to v2.2.0 yesterday and now I have the same battery problem as you. The rom does run faster and I also noticed a few bugs fixed, such as the keyboard light, but battery life is just really bad for me.
If u dont use dsp manager then remove it,because many users hve reported that dsp manager drains battery
Install battery dr saver from market
It has option of full cycle charge for charging battery properly

Done that already, still the same. Already know about Battery Dr Saver, but I don't think it helps this problem.
I also installed Badass Battery Monitor, it's really detailed and shows a lot of info. It's showing that the display is using up the most battery, but I have it idle most of the time.........
agree!
at least someone or two has same problem with me.
i just flashed cm7 2.2.0 over these 2 weeks.
well i noticed the battery drain alot faster than stock eclair.
i'm looking forward to see the solution...

Select interactiveX governer
Min 19mhz max 691mhz
And check undervolt
I do this to save battery

done that already too, except I use smartassv2 governor and my max is just stock speed at 600mhz.
I basically applied every tweak that I could find from every topic, and believe me they do work, on v2.1.9 at least.
It seems that most people have the same problem on v2.2.0, the radio somehow keeps draining battery. I noticed that it used up 33% for no reason, whereas on v2.1.9 it was around 2%.
BTW I dunno if it makes a difference if I use smartassv2 or interactiveX, but most people said that smartassv2 is better since that's what nAa uses, so it's more compatible. I don't think changing the governors matter though, I've used Badass Battery Monitor for 3 days in a row now and it shows none of the apps are draining power. Even using Android Assistant shows that my phone is idle 94% of the time, where the System uses 4% CPU and User uses 2% CPU. So I do believe it's gotta do with the radio, somehow this rom isn't using the kernel that well I think.
Then it wil be good idea to stick to 2.1.9
YES ! im not the only one wooo, i signed up just to thank the creator of this thread <3 ok so i think it is the minicm7 2.2.0 problem, because i never had it before ! BUT i am using minicm9 now, and anyone confirm that our batteries work better with this? because ive noticed a slight improvement with battery in MiniCM9, i love my mini, i need to fix this battery problem ! i even got two batteries thinking my batterys was f***ed, still only gave me about 5 hours worth of battery max !

I suggest going back to CM7 2.1.9. It's very stable for me and battery drain is so low that my phone can last almost a week on standby without much usage, it's great!
I would stay away from CM9 for now, and wait until it's more stable. So far, I've read that many people are experiencing a few bugs here and there, so I would wait until after a few new version releases and try it out then.

I am using CM9 now and its beautiful to be honest, its just a few bugs, but atm battery life > cm7 2.2.0 i am getting about 6 hours instead of 3-4 i might go back to cm 2.1.9 and see how it goes thanks guys for the help <3
what kernel should i use? beacuse i think it might be the Naa Kernel that is giving me bad battery life

well, if you're using CM9 or CM7, you have no choice but to use the nAa kernel.......unless you're asking which kernel version, otherwise you pretty much don't have a choice.
I'm pretty sure it's not the kernel either, CM7 2.2.0 drains a lot more battery compared to CM7 2.1.9. They both use the same kernel, so it has nothing to do with that.
i used cm7 2.1.9 and i got 4 hours battery life, with wifi off, 3g off, and all i did was txt thru whatsapp with 2g and i was at the movies for 2 hours anyway, and no its not my battery cause i bought another one, still the same thing im getting frustrated ! gonna try original kernel and rom

that's really odd, my phone running CM7 2.1.9 can last for 3 days easily if I just use it for txting. I'm using nAa-11 kernel, and haven't had a problem with it......maybe try to flash the kernel and rom again?

yep tried that as well, alot of times one thing i noticed was when i installed paul's kernel i hadnt charge the phone and when i booted up the phone after flashing the battery was 62% but wifi wasnt working with the kernel so i installed Naa kernel again, i didnt charge the phone and the battery percentage went up to 82% like wtf -.-

I installed cm9 mini, but phone was lagging and battery life was poor. Now i installed cm7 mini 2.2.1 and it runs a lot better than cm9, but like most of you say, i also have the battery drain issue...; during 9hours of sleep my phone lost 30% of battery that's really enoying. Stock 2.1 SE rom loses about 7% during 9 hours of sleep.
So most of you recomand the 2.1.9 instead of 2.2.1? And which kernel should i use? Is there a possibility that the kernel i use (ana 14 ) drains the battery so fast? if i install 2.1.9 should i use the ana 14 kernel, or a lower version?
thx

[Q] Battery leak!

Hello guys I'm having a battery leak but i dont know which app/s is draining my battery i go to battery status and i only see
Phone idle 55%
Display 20%
Voice calls 11%
call standby 11%
android os 2%
Flipboard 2%
not sure if these stats help!
... but im sure that some background apps draining it , any idea how to discover the leak and deal with it ? i dont use 2g/3g gprs , Bluetooth or anything like that only wifi and not for a long time I'm running 2.3.4 un-rooted atrix4g with go launcher please help and thanks for your time
Have you checked another battery? I think that's an hardware problem dude =/
BTW you can try CPUspy and Battery Monitor Widget
I hope that helps.
Thanks im gonna try Battery Monitor Widget i got problem parsing package with CPU spy anyway how could it be a hardware problem ?
try advanced task killer and kill the unwanted apps . That will save battery . And i dont think that this is hardware problem .

OK. I think the battery life of your phone is shorted or it's broken but you can also try "BateryBetterStats" to see what process are draining more battery on your phone.
Task killers are not recommended on most on cases to use in Android SO.
Guys i was on like 20% battery today and i restarted my device to found that im back to 50% !! how come ?
Edit: turning off background data wont make so much difference

You surely need to calibrate your battery . There are many third party apps also which help in saving and maintaining battery such as go power manager , battery saver pro , juice defender and more . Try them .

Delete Facebook app if you use it and use Atrium or Fast. Official app is power and resources-hungry monster. Also - try to use Greenify it's great application which can save some additional battery capacity. Try to find which processes uses most resources and disable/hibernate them.
I have weird battery drain when my XU loses WiFi connection (when I leave my house or turn off router). It still says it's connected to WiFi and drains battery like crazy.

may be the kernel doesn't do the job, and do put governor and I/O scheduler might solve the problem

flash devswift1's kernel..it will do a great job...also hibernate some battery draining apps with greenify and with the help of "app quarantine" disable apps like google play n some other apps like maps so that u can onlock them only when u need them..
and turn stamina mode on...
this all wud help a lot...
Try switching off Wifi over night setting in
Settings > Wi-Fi > [Options Button] > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep
to "Only when plugged in"
Maybe change the governor. Experiment with the option "Set at boot" (i don't no why, but sometime it helps, even if it should not)
Try an automatic task killer (kill every hour or so), this doubles my "battery time"

I have been having the same issue, here is some stuff which you can try which solved the same problem for me:
* Recalibrate your battery by wiping battery stats
* Change governor and I/O Scheduler.
* Uninstall apps like Facebook, they tend to drain the battery.
* Wipe cache and dalvik.

[Q] Screen using 50% of battery

Hi
I have rooted my phone and installed CM11 Nightly + Kitkat on my Xperia P. I noticed all the times Screen consuming 50% of battery and due to this my battery is getting drained quickly and its not lasting for atleast a day.. Can someone help me to fix this issue and use my mobile normal?

Hey, did you remember to calibrate your battery after flashing the ROM?
Also it's pretty normal that the screen consumes a lot of battery. But if it isn't on for long periods of time and still drains there's something wrong.
You can check what is waking your device using this app
Another suggestion would be that don't use auto brightness, it drains the battery quite a bit.

Well you probably did it correctly, not that complicated. Use the calibration app
I got it from this XDA thread and it always seems to work for me.
Just make sure to charge to 100%, unplug the charger and then press calibrate.
Anyway leave the wakelockdetector running for a day or so and then see what is waking your device the most.
Also check what governors and io schedulers you are using. That can make quite a difference.

It's hard to say which is best. You'll have to test them to suit your own needs.
Try using hotplug or smartassV2. They have a nice balance between battery and performance.
Currently I'm using hotplug, I find it has better battery and the performance is sufficient.
If you want more info on governors look in this thread.

Replace your battery.
Problem solved.Just fully charged my battery and it's ok now
You can even add some build.prop & init.d tweaks in your phone to improve battery backup as you are rooted. And you can also try any custom roms which have better ui & also better battery backup & even good performance compared to stock roms...
