I am using bionix v and people are reporting 20+ hours of battery life using the battery left widget.. and when using my battety left widget (nearly fully calibrated) it tells me I have 9 hours left.. what's the deal? Is this a battery issue, and could I need a replacement. I have had battery issues with nearly all of my roms in the past. I guess it could be a conditioning issue. Please help

Something is probably running in your background. Download watch dog task manager and see wwhat is running on your backgrounnd.

It says that there is nothing wrong. What are the normal voltages of my battery, like what should they be?

I just flashed mine on Sunday and charged it overnight. I ended up getting just under 42 hours of life out of it without doing to battery recondition.

By using your phone to just look at the wallpaper.
Lol,
How is the battery life on the real froyo that was released a few weeks ago?

Not possible by someone who actually uses there phone. I never thought I was a heavy user but seeing replies like above I have to be past the definition of heavy user. With my extended battery I could get 2.5 days on a single charge.
Im also having battery drain with bionix newest rom. Nothings changed in my day-day usage. probably flash another modem or something.
I think I might switch to stock froyo if things don't get better. Or just order a new battery. Because it just drops like a rock. And im using watchdog but it doesn't really help that much. Or could someone with experience with battery drain guide me on how to stop it from happening?

Something tells me you have a bad battery if you've always had battery issues. Did you get your phone from T-Mobile? If so call them and tell them your battery is bad--they should send you a new one for free.

I flashed on saturday and started having issues with the battery on monday. On tuesday my battery drained in less than 5 HOURS! I reconditioned the battery and added juice defender @ 5 this morning. I just plugged in my charger about 20 minutes ago. Went down to 5%.

Yes I got it from t-mobile but I have not used stock long enough to see whether it was just a rom issue. I have only flashed team whiskeys roms and they seem to kill my battery. Nero v3 was the best but still wasn't great. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and maybe use the phone to get on xda, engadget, facebook, etc for about 1 hour, But my battery drops like a rock when I do this. And ever since bionix v it has only gotten worse. From that one hr of usage it drops 40 percent. Is hsdpa that big of a battery-killer? Because on wifi it seems to do a little better. Idk if this is just a network issue or what? Like right now it dropped 2 percent just from typing this up. brightness is less than half and everything is set to manually refresh. Wth?

Everything else seems to be fine. The consistency of the battery is weird..

Had terrible battery life as well with bionix v. Double checked to see if anything was running in the background and reconditioned my battery. Even then I was still getting atrocious battery life. Oh well I ended up switching back to axura which imo offers great performance and battery life. Not saying TW roms are bad (nero v3 was amazing) give Masters axura a shot if you haven't.

Does axura come with titanium backup or does it not wipe your data? I would like to keep my settings and apps if I do end up switching

My battery life isn't that great. I am going to turn off lagfix and see if there is any improvements.
I don't think lag fix had anything to do with battery that much, all it sites is change the filesystem right? And with bionix v I got over 24hrs battery

Well I think I finally conditioned correctly, and watchdog is notifying me about programs that are using lots of of cpu. So I'll see how today goes. 9:00 AM right now. Let's see how long it takes to die
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Seems to be dying much faster in standby mode
Edit: nevermind it seems to be doing well enough for the time being. Talked on the phone for 1 hour, texted, and went on xda and engadget. It is at 70%. On standby mode it ia doing loads better after reconditioning. Does losing 30% to doing stuff like that sound about right? Battery left says I have 7 hours 58 min remaining

Anyone else notice this bug is gone in ICS? i'm running Fenny's AOKP ROM and have done about 3-4 reboots with no crazy drops in battery levels.
I just had a drop after rebooting cm9.

lol just rebooted again and lost a significant amount. There goes that theory, guess i was just lucky or something.
Mods can go ahead and close this thread, as it's useless.
60 something to 19.

I've gotten this on everything since about 2.3.5. Charge for a bit and reboot and it should go back to what your battery really is at.
It's intermittent whether it will happen.
Actually, the stock ICS kernels have crap that locks CPU speed to 800 MHz for the boot sequence - this is probably an ugly workaround for the battery reset issue, but increases boot time.
I've removed that crap from recent kernels.
This is the latest aokp restarted at the end and it did it still

OK this is seriously ridiculous! My battery is dying so fast its seriously pissing me off! I was over getting something to drink 10 min ago and while I was it dropped 3 - 4 percent. Then as I'm typing this. It dropped 2 more. While the screen us off its alright. I have ucle2 right now. Can someone help me out? Can someone suggest of what to flash? The cm9 kang version was a whole lot better than this

1st don't vent on the forum, no offence but its not smart to start bashing on roms if you're asking for help
2nd I've personally had the best battery life on CM9 based roms so its on your end
Check brightness levels GPS background services etc..
3rd no one is forcing you to flash these roms
Don't complain, flash another or enjoy stock

I've gotten 4.5 hours screen time using hotwire's kang and around the same using fj's old cm9 build so it's more than likely a problem on your end.
However, I've noticed that gpsserviceprovider sometimes doesn't shut off completely after using gps and is and preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. Sometimes I would go to sleep with a 100 % charge and wake up with an 86% charge. Searched around and seems to happen on some cm9 roms. A reboot solves the issue though.
Your best bet is to install betterbatterystats and check your wakelocks. Probably some app causing it on your end.
Man I get best battery life with cm9 and aokp
99% of the time its the user and not the rom

You guys are all doing something wrong
Or really expecting battery life to last 10 hours and 5hours alone are on screen time alone
Sorry to burst your bubble but it won't happen
All these screen shots on the threads showing 8-12hr battery life times are from probably minimal usage... on a 8hr work shift with mediocre usage I get 50% left
People its a big screen it uses a lot... A LOT of battery... these roms work miracles but if you want your device to last very long time on battery us it minimally... that's what its its all about

I'm not a noob. I'm using the same apps, the same usage, etc and getting VASTLY poorer battery life on CM9. I love CM9, it's my go-to rom, I'm just saying there's definitely an issue of some kind on the CM9 builds for the Note, or at least on some Notes.

Lol well I was in your boat for awhile. However, I finally just got annoyed with having to pay attention to my battery. I don't like not having full sync and location on etc, now I don't have to worry about it. Honestly, the size difference isn't even noticeable anymore. And the benefit outweighs the negative for me personally.

I came to the S2 from the Captivate. The captivate would charge to 100 then when unplugged sometimes would immediatell drop 2-3 percent.
I have never had this problem, or one like yours at all on the S2. Mine charges to 100 then stays there for quite a while after unplugged.

The only battery related issue we have is that on a reboot sometimes the device appears to lose most of its battery (unfixable bug with our fuel gauge). After that it will either not drain at all for a long time or it might go up a couple of digits.

Isn't the "fix" for this to remove your battery for a couple minutes and after putting it back in, charge it to 100%? I've had the issue where the battery percentage would drop significantly after a reboot and after using this method, it seems to work fine until I flash another rom.

I had the Atrix and from my understanding over there that's not an atrix issue. It's built into the code of the phone to prevent "over charging" Stock roms would show 100% because they didn't want average consumers freaking out. But they removed it in custom ROMs so battery % would show correctly

After about a week my battery life returned to Gingerbread levels.
I've been having the same problem (XT912) for the past couple of days. I thought maybe I was having network issues so I got a new SIM card from Verizon yesterday, and my battery lasted a long time up until a few hours ago where it started dying fast again. Airplane mode seems to make the drain subside too, but this is pretty crazy. Yesterday I was lucky to get 4 hours on a charge (without even using the phone), but since my new SIM last night I went from 10PM to like 12PM today (14 hours) and it only dropped to 80%, then a few hours to 70%, but then went to 20% within just a couple hours and it's been like that again today. I don't think it's ICS to blame, but something weird is going on for sure.
I had the same problem. I read that if you do a factory reset then it helps. At least it did for me.
