Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.

Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.

Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?
Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
how long have you been using that rom?

Phone gets pretty hot but only if I use it while its charging. And seems to take like 2 or more hours for the phone to completely charge.

The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.
Maybe your battery is fried?
I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.
I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?
In the past two days my phone has frozen and when I restart it the battery has dropped significantly dropped (around 30% atleast) does anybody know what is happening and how to fix it. Not sure if this is relevant but both times I have been using Google Listening and I am running CM7.2 RC1.

Possibly. CM7.x on this phone is basically unmaintained and has been since November or so - all of the I9100/I777 maintainers started working on ICS.
Title pretty much says it all. I have a stock, i777 running on 2.3.6 and yesterday out of the blue, the phone would lock up (not respond to any touches on the screen, the power button or the volume rocker) so I would pull the battery out and restart it. When I did, the battery would drop off like 15%.
I did a search but didn't find any relevant issues. Many people simply complained about battery drops after regular restarts, not after freezes.
Would greatly appreciate some help!
Same thing, it has to do with the fuel guage of the phone

Again guys, this only happens after the phone locks up/freezes which is multiple times per day. Otherwise, battery drain is norma
U didn't say whether u were rooted or not. So I'm assuming you aren't? Which means screen lock ups aren't from undervolting?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Read this and see if it helps..Entropy explains why the battery gets crazy after a reboot. I would assume it would be the same if you had to pull the battery, the gauge i guess would still get reset.

I said I was stock in the first post. Is there something else you need to know? Just to clarify, I haven't modded/rooted/etc. Still on stock 2.3.6 w/ Touchwiz.
The battery issue isn't the major issue, it's the freezing of the phone multiple times a day. Is there a diagnostic tool I can use that will show a log of the processes that were running when the phone froze? That could help me narrow down the issue.

I think you can avoid the battery level glitch by plugging in a charger before you reboot.
Maybe the freezes are being caused by a rogue app. I can't remember what the app is called at the moment, but there is one app that monitors cpu usage and can warn you if an app is using too much cpu time.
Watchdog and betterbatterystats. Yes u can monitor apps. But I wouldn't think an app would just start doing that out of the blue. Hmm. Its really hard to tell ya what to do if you aren't even rooted,may wanna think about doing that. Opens up a lot more options for fixing / monitoring.

Restarts are a [email protected] on battery. Every system app hits at same time. The way charge stays in batt. Anything under about half on batt charge...it will seem to drain quicker. Its the chemical makeup of batt that does it. Think of bubbles in soda bottle... More full bottle more fizz more bang. Less soda... Less bang.... And flat. Keep off any widgets ....they tap batt constantly as well as data...which hits batt. Ahh Physics and Chemistry, love it.
We will sort you out!

I don't think the sudden drop in battery is anything to worry about. My phone does that but the battery level slowly gets higher over time without charging. The actual charge level in the battery doesn't change.
Had the same exact thing happen sort of mine would heat up, freeze, then shut off, restart all by itself but it would hard reset. So my question is, Is it a brand new device or refeb? I got a referb and had the same thing at first it would freeze then after a while it would start heating up then resetting itself. So call warranty dept and ask for a replacement device and not a new battery.

I used incredicontrol to undervolt everything by 50 or 75 in incredicontrol. Using stock freqs, and ondemand governor. And used danuntzz's tool to do most of the desensing/debloating.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382630
I also used Romtoolbox's auto start manager to keep things from opening in the background, it's probably the most helpful app I've used. Thanks next I just need the mugen 4000mAh so I'd only need to charge it on the weekends, but that thing is really expensive for a battery.
I thought these were pretty good numbers for locked and stock.

I need to figure out what's wrong with mine. I'm getting results like this with the extended VZ battery. I have to keep it plugged in all the time. Even with 4G disabled (3G still on), no wifi, no bluetooth; most days it will be dead in 8-10 hours.
Currently running 5/1 leak radios (RUU'd last week), running BAMF ICS 2.1 with the kernel that came with the Rom (1512mhz max, 384mhz min). Most syncing besides gmail is disabled.
I'll get a pic whenever i go unplugged again. I'm working remotely this week and am keeping it plugged up during conference calls.

that sounds like a rom from the first ics leak which has bad battery and heat issues (for some). so yeah try a newer one
I'm on hour 16 and I've still got 42% battery life left, on my normal, stock battery!
No heat. Boots absurdly quickly. I'm really impressed.

Not too much, about 1 hour 15 minutes, but the thing that makes this impressive to me is a large chunk of my day was spent on campus, where liminal signal sucks my battery dry.
Yea!...That, and the fact that Michigan still sucks!
agree
i have to agree with you i as well saw way better battery life today with the newest leak. running Venasaur 3.1.
Ditto. I'm running stock on the new leak, no custom roms or anything and I'm seeing a very nice boost in battery life, running the same apps that I did on GB.
I came from the GB OTA went straight to s-off to the latest leak.
Leak is official...sweet love this kernel with rezrom 3.4 smoothed out the temps and speed. Not feeling the radios where I frequent though lower signal

the problem is most likely you, not the kernel. don't use any sort of app that will affect the CPU frequencies or governer, and be careful which monitoring app you use. many will cause this behavior. if you absolutely must peek at the CPU, try this widget:

weird.
maybe it's system panel then? i've used system panel since GB, and on GB it shows it as constantly changing..but on all ICS stuff, which everyone else has agreed with, it shows constant 1512 and sometimes going to 384 then back up.
now, when i look at your apps widget here, its set to 5 sec interval and constantly scaling. is system panel bad?

are you restoring the wifi profile from google or from titanium? i have had this problem in the past. i just "forget" the network and re add it.
I do have google set to back up my settings, but it never seems to restore the wifi settings like it's supposed to, i always have to re-enter my wifi information each time i flash a new ICS leak onto the phone. I've read through various threads and tried a few different suggestions but none of them seemed to work.
