I have a Thunderbolt running Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 and Imo's 2.7.0 kernel (I have tried going between Batt Saver/Normal, and now I am on Extreme). I adjusted my brightness of my display to about 20% (instead of automatic), and when I am home I try to be on my Wi-Fi. For some reason, I am not getting a full day's charge out of my Thunderbolt (when I first got the extended battery, I was getting at least 32 hours). I read about people's batteries and I feel people with the stock battery are getting more/equal amount as I am with an extended battery. I tried running Normal setting on Imo's kernel at one point and I did not even last 12 hours, and I was on 3G doing only minimal texting. I tried Batt Saver, and the first day I used it, it was really good (about 10 hours and I was down to 75%, but until I got to 18% or so and then within 3 minutes it was dead, which was weird). But the following day it was not as good as it was, and it died again less than a day. I even tried the Das BAMF kernels and they have similar results. I am also trying to switch between InteractiveX/SmartAss/OndemandX, but I am not seeing too much of a difference (unless someone can give hints on which is supposed to lend to a longer lasting battery). Any advice would be appreciated! (And if you need more specs on my phone, let me know... I generally only text, I do not play games or do very intensive internet things).
I have found the best battery life on bamf stripped v1.1, I get better battery life on that than any other Rom I've tried including stripped v1.7 and all the other bamf versions. I'm running the 4.4.6 kernel, I haven't tried the batt saver kernel from Imoseyon yet. I get 2-3x's the battery life as stock and almost twice the battery life as any other bamf Rom
There are lots of things to consider about your battery life. If you look at your batter use on your phone does it show anything that might be suspiciously draining battery more than normal? If you're using Imo's kernel you can type "12" into the terminal when you are changing governors to see the stats of how long your phone is staying at different frequencies, does it show a high amount of time spent at the higher frequencies? How long does your phones display stay on for?
There are so many things that can drain the battery its ridiculous and randomly I will have severe drains at times that are only solved by a reboot.
eraursls1984, do you have an extended battery? How much battery life are you getting?
Beastclaw, battery use seems normal - nothing out of the ordinary or suspicious is really eating at my battery. As I said before, I am currently running InteractiveX and at Extreme mode, and these are my states at different frequencies:
245760: 2102206
368640: 409810
768000: 58113
1024000: 263351
1222400: 12737
1408000: 72575
1593600: 0
1766400: 0
1920000: 0
Seems that nothing is really running too much on high frequencies, mainly on the lower end. My phone display is supposed to stay on for, I believe, 2 minutes, but whenever I am doing using it, I always lock it.
I heard Autostarts was a good app that could help with battery life and performance (and I was warned to not change any system settings), but I am trying to see if maybe there is anything else I can do to figure out why my battery seems to not last as long as other batteries.
You can try using an app from the market called "CurrentWidget" It allows you to log how much power your phone is using at different intervals of time. My phone generally runs at 40-60mA when the screen is off and its not doing anything and between 400-600mA when the screen is on and I am running tasks. You can use the log to check to make sure your phone isnt drawing too much power in the down state. It even shows you the stats in a nifty little graph form

I have a stock battery and with normal use I get 12-14 hours compared to about 4 when I was completely stock. When I use my phone heavily, constant browsing, I get about 4 hours compared to less than 2 stock. I always have my brightness all the way up except for when I'm in bed because this screen is not bright at all compared to my old phones. Unless you just have to have sense (which to me makes no sense, lol) then I would recommend trying bamf stripped v1.1. I am also not overclocked, I noticed a little increase in performance but not enough to justify the loss of some battery life., however I was going to experiment with it again since I haven't tested the performance and battery life of stripped v1.1 overclocked.
I mean, I have BAMF Remix 1.6.3, which I guess has Sense elements since I do not have BAMF Stripped? I mean, I do not think I use any Sense features or anything like that, so I have no reason not to get BAMF Stripped if it helps increase performance/battery life. Yeah, on Remix 1.6.3 and Imo's kernel at Normal, I had 12 hours on my extended battery... Haha.
Bump - does anyone have Autostarts? Or any other program/app that will help with the battery life, or any other suggestions? I will test the CurrentWidget app tomorrow when I am actually up and using my phone and see if I get similar results or if I find another program is using up my memory... I also recently installed Advanced Task Killer today to help with this battery problem, but I heard mixed things about using it and how it can actually negatively impact the phone instead of helping.

Before 2.2 they were useful on some phones if used right, but its not needed nor does it work on the thunderbolt. If its set to autokill then it will drain the battery faster by running and killing apps, then the phone using juice to reopen the apps that were killed. If you root you can use autokiller (not a task killer) to set parameters for ram memory but I haven't found it to be necessary on the t-bolt, it was needed on my old droid X to keep it from lagging. I would suggest uninstalling the task killer.
Took your advice and uninstalled the task killer - thanks! Anyone else have any other suggestions or advice about my battery problem?
Autostarts is definitely worth $1. If you are familiar with Windows, it's kinda like msconfig for android. It prevents nonessential apps from starting in the background and wasting battery & network bandwidth. If you want to do everything you possibly can to minimize resource hogging, you should get Autostarts.
I downloaded Autostarts - I hate to be asking this sort of question but I am sort of cautious when changing these sorts of settings (because I heard a person who had to boot into recovery because he shut off system applications by accident), which programs should/shouldn't I turn off? I am a little confused how to use this program - did it automatically shut off some programs, because as I look through I see some programs are crossed off in a green line... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - can anyone help me with Autostarts? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Sigh, Autostarts isn't a "task killer"
I stay away from any proccess that's needed to run in the background. Things in yellow, leave alone. IMO pandora has no business running in the background at start up. If there's no valid reason, I kill it.
Tossed from my Tunabowl
I realize Autostarts isn't a task killer (it cannot kill a task if it never opens up, hehe). Thanks for your advice though! The more I was looking at it last night, the more I was understanding, but you just reassured what I was assuming. Hopefully this helps my battery a bit... Or I figure what else makes my extended battery drain faster than others.
Even with Autostarts, my battery life has not improved that much... I have been experimenting a bit with different governors and settings, but now I am back with the extreme Imo kernel and on InteractiveX. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
I was having trouble with my battery also. I've been lucky with Gingeritis but still the battery was killing me. This may not be an option but the extended battery is amazing. I got the case to go with it and I'm not disapointed. This OS with heavy use also and display at 50% and all animations enabled. Also running 4g all day!

The problem is, I DO have the extended battery and now seeing some of the battery life that others are getting (a lot say 30+ hours, I am barely pushing my phone and I am getting less than 20 at a time).
BAMF 3 RC2, imo 3.3.4, 245/1593, LTE Only mode, auto brightness, twitter sync every 15 minutes, facebook every hour, gmail push, weather every hour, 4 hours of music streaming, another couple of playing, a lot of twitter and facebook, and doing a bunch of other things with the phone, and I rebooted about 3 times. I think I could hit 50+ hours if i didn't OC or reboot.
Oh yeah, I have the extended battery
g00s3y, which governor are you using?
i'm on the same kernel, but using gingerremix w/ a std battery. the phone drains 40% overnight with it being on wifi. (that's with just gmail pushing and gtalk on).
Hi everyone, this is my first ever post on the forums so don't be too harsh on me lol anyways, my question is what is the best ROM + radio + kernel combination to get the longest battery life out of my stock thunderbolt battery? Currently I am running DasBAMF 2.0-5 the MR2.5 radio and the dream kernel. I haven't really noticed a huge improvement in my battery life since I flashed this rom a few days ago. I have seen people who claim to be getting 10-15 hrs on one charge. I don't think I need that much because I charge overnight every night, but it would be nice to know how people do that. also, what are your thoughts on juice defender? thanks!
I am currently using CM7 R1.2 w/ the MR2 radio and I get very good battery life. 10 hrs plus with minimal use on the regular battery.
I've been running Gingeritis 1.0 with JuiceDefender Ultimate and I've been getting anywhere from 16-20 hours on the standard battery with regular use (facebook, email, words with friends, browsing, etc.). What I find most helpful with this rom is the brightness slider in the dropdown quick settings. Unless you're outside on a bright day or it's absolutely necessary, keep the brightness as low as you can comfortably use. I've found this to be huggee in the ongoing battle to get better battery life.
And if you can tolerate life without 4G, use an LTE toggle app to keep your phone on 3G. This also helps a lot.
i like the Inj3ctTh3ory rom so far.
It looks to me that all MR2 radios use more battery. The best battery performance for me was on BAMF 1.7 and MR1 radio. I would use 2 to 3% battery on standby overnight, with the phone on 3G. I am on BAMF 1.8.6 now with the OTA radio and the overnight battery usage is up to 10%. I will keep testing, but I think stripped MR1 ROMs have the best battery performance.

BAMF 3.0 RC4, imo 3.4.0, OTA MR2 Radio... constant 40-45 hours on the extended battery.
How I maximized my battery
In terms of my battery I just wanted decent battery life without using a tone of extra apps to do it. I'm using the CM7 RC 1.2 with the MR2 Radio getting about 20+ hours of battery with standard use. I am not using Juice defender or any battery saver apps. I am just using Tasker to turn on and off my Wi-Fi when I'm not at home, because I hate doing manually
One thing I did do to maximize my battery life is after I flashed my new ROM I did the following after searching multiple forums for battery optimization methods
1. Charged my Battery to 100%
2. Did a Bump Charge Cycle 4 times, and then turned on phone
3. This step is probably key. Downloaded the Battery Calibration App. You can find the app in the Android Market.
4. Plugged in the charger until the Battery Calibration App read 100% and 4200+ mV. I found that even after bump charging my BW battery widget would say 100% and the led would be green. However when I go into the Battery Calibration App it would say 99% and the mV would be about 4160. I just plugged it in and waited about 30 - 45 minutes and it would finally be fully charged at 100% ~4200 mV.
5. Press the Battery Calibration button in the App to clear the batterstats.bin and unplug the phone. Do not shutdown or reboot.
6. Let battery drain completely without plugging it in (USB and AC)
7. After it completely dies Charged battery straight until 100% with no interruptions.
I'm getting good battery life without having to use juice defender or anything, and that's also with streaming bluetooth music everyday driving to and from work for a total of 1 hour. I also keep the radio at 3G the entire day unless I really need high speed data. And unless I'm in the car, Bluetooth is turned off. I'm pretty sure these steps should work on any rooted phone regardless of ROM.
I tried many different rom and kernel across the forum... I dun see any differences in term of battery life, just go with the one you love.........weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
My bolt gets better life running Ziggy's kernels for some reason. Not sure why, but it does. I've tried every sense ROM out there. +1 on the post above. Go with what works best for you and the way you use your phone.

I've found cm7 (cm7 kernel) to have the best battery life for me, getting up to 28 hours with light use and no 4g. I find the auto-brightness on cm7 to work much better than on any other ROM I've tried, and for some reason all other ROMs drained the battery around 50x faster while idling. I can leave my phone unplugged overnight and expect to lose maybe 2-3%.
There certainly is no universal solution though. That is the only certainty
Whatever rom/s you test with...make sure you try various kernel versions (lean kernels mostly) to find what works the best.
I've tried them all,
GINGERTH3ORY V5.0 DreamKernel is my favorite one. it's super fast and very responsive.
Battery life is best on this one .
I use speedtweak batt saver ondemandx.
I'm on Bamf 1.8.6 remix right now with the OTA MR2 radio and getting about 14 hours on 3g all day and 8.5 hours if on 4g all day. Still looking for something better.
I have had a lot of luck with Inj3ctTh3ory. I have only had it now for two days but I'm already impressed with how long the battery has lasted. I have not experimented with any Kernel/CPU combo's yet but it's performing so well now I might not mess with it.
ROM and kernel linked in my sig. I'm using the 1.4GHz extreme UV with interactivex speedtweak, I love it. Bulletproof stability and with mild/moderate use I can make it through a 9hr work day with 50% left on the stock battery. 4G left on, everything syncs every hour. I don't get 4G coverage at work, I don't know if that helps or hurts, but I do leave it on.
Hi all, I'm new to this part of the xda forums as I had a nexus before, just got the upgrade to the Atrix, rooting,unlocking of bootloader everything went well but I just flashed Aura's from with feux kernel and im getting really really bad battery life, like I'm talking 4-5 hours. There is one process thats really confusing me, its just called "x" and its sitting there taking about 35% battery, my screen is taking 55% battery.
It's getting really annoying as my nexus used to give me about 12 hours and the only reason I moved to the atrix was to get the better battery life that I saw with all my atrix touting friends (they all had 1-2 days battery life) I'm about to flash homebase and see if that fixes it but I don't know whats going on. I have a UK MB860 and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196747&highlight=t-mobile+root to root. Pleaseee can someone help!
X is the webtop and there is a fix somewhere for that (doesn't completely work). Just flash CM7 beta. Its much better than any other ROM and has the best battery life. Everything except the finger print scanner and webtop work.
Also I had really good battery on the Ying Yang ROM.

I think I might give CM7 a go you know, I loved CM on the nexus, even after it killed the memory chips it was still good! Im going to try it, is it really stable?
EDIT:
since updating to CM7 and Wiping my battery stats I have some how gained 39% battery!

battery stats
I've had great battery life on the atrix, now I'm getting a good look at the atrix on the 4800mah battery. I'm a heavy user and I could not get over 24 hours. And now I have 59 hours and I have yet to actually see how far I can take it. Cm7 beta. Juicey....
I find that all gingerbread roms have horrible battery life compared to froyo on the atrix. Cm7 battery is worse but the phone is smoother. Faux 1.3ghz kernel has even worse battery.
Regardless of the radio or magical method of resetting the battery state you use.
1:25 screen time and at 47% battery. Been off the charger for 6:15. It will make it through my 10hr shift with about 20% remaining if I'm lucky, usually I just toss it on the charger.

I was just about to post that lol. Also make sure every time you flash a new rom you are at 100% if not that is a sure fire way to cheat yourself out of battery life. I don't know if I'm just one of "the lucky ones" but I easily get over 16+ hours with moderate usage. I'm running CM7 beta with quite a few things frozen.
Ok so I followed the guide to perfection and it didn't improve the battery life one bit! I'm trying hard to find a t-mobile radio I can flash as I have read around it could be my radio that is the culprit and I am also getting rubbish HSDPA readings, I should be getting full bars but since switching to homebase Im only getting one bar.
Using watchdog I have noticed that the Xorg process is using over 50% cpu which does not seem right to be and I believe that because its a linux process Watchdog can't kill it. Is there anyway of fixing this?
1) Uninstall Tango, Facebook and Handcent SMS if any of the three are installed. They are huge battery drainers and you can find less battery hogging substitutes
2) Freeze any unnecessary apps, I believe there is a thread somewhere in the General section that has a pretty decent freeze list (if you flash CM7, you will have very little to freeze but that's good!)
3) Keep brightness down to a minimum when you can, I've noticed kicking the brightness up rather high can be pretty demanding on your battery
4) Set SetCPU Profiles to something like this...
Screen Off 216/216
Charging 1100/216
In Call 456/216
Battery <20% 456/216
Battery <10% 216/216
5) If you have the proper kernel set the CPU govner to power saver.
6) Undervolt, test yours and never apply set on boot unless you are positive it's stable, mine are something like this...
1100 MHz -50mV
1000 MHz -50mV
912 MHz -50mV
750 MHz -50mV
608 MHz -100mV
456 MHz -150mV
216 MHz -200mV
This way when you're phone is idling with the screen off, in a call or low on battery it is undervolting heavily to save maximum amounts of battery
With this setup I can get 30+ hours pretty regularly with moderate-to-heavy usage (weekdays/non-work days), 22-25 hours with more heavy usage (work days) and close to 48 hours with little usage (weekends).
It all depends on your usage and your phone but I have found this setup here to work fairly well.
I am currently on CM7 Beta, stock CM7 radio and stock CM7 kernel, running at 1100/216 when above profile conditions aren't met. 32% been running since 9 am this morning, it is now 3:15 am, today was a long workday.
I can almost guarantee (almost) that its your rom/kernel combination. Had same problem til I changed.

I'm now using faux kernel for CM7 and that hasn't improved anything, in fact I think it it has made it worse. It's getting really irretating because using the watch dog app it always says there is one linux process on every rom I use that is clocking at over 50% cpu usage and It won't let me kill it (probably because it's a linux process), its really annoying me because all I want is my phone to work properly but to enjoy the full rooting experience. I know countless amounts of people with atrix's and they get a full day and a bit out of their phone with heavy usage i can't even manage 10 hours!

Watchdog eats battery like a mthrfckr, get away from that. Install BetterBatterStats instead & look for wakelocks. Which linux process are you noticing with that high cpu usage?
How many hours of screen time do you get in those 10 hrs?
Have you tried with a fastboot wipe & internal storage format prior to installing a new rom? Are you using the latest recommended radio for your phone?

Turn background syncing off if you are using that, and get in the habit of doing manual updates.
Too many times (with ANY Android device) people leave background syncing on and it tries sending/receiving data in a weak signal spot when you don't realize it. That's like a hot knife through butter on a battery.
Leave syncing off permanently if possible! That's a huge improvement right there for anyone...

I'm currently running Liquid Smooth 3.0 and losing battery life considerably. If I flashed the latest radios... could this be the reason I'm losing battery life so quickly?
Wow where to start, depending on your phone settings after you flashed your new ROM could be a direct drain I won't get into that since i don't run your Rom on my phone, could be kernel settings again don't know the kernel used or settings on kernel. They made a thread that reads like a book on battery drain so needless to say there are many factors. Suggest you hit up liquid users in the Rom thread and ask direct questions about settings. Signal strength can play a pretty big factor in battery drain, I get about -84 at my house and it drains at normalish rate but at work I get -100 and get about 4 hours less battery. Always remember every phone is different what works great for mine may drain yours.

It's worth the money cause you want to use the paid version that allows you track your history.... don't forget to turn it off after you find your battery hogger cause the tracking itself is a battery eater.
I've been going around reading these forums for a while and im honestly trying to find out if its just my Rezound that is broken or what but...
Is it normal for my rezound to be at 20% Battery life after 7 hours and 37 Minutes. Screen on time = 31 minutes. Stock Battery on 4g.
What gives? This is ridiculous... i feel like i barely use my phone and the battery is just draining and draining, and its like this with whatever GB rom i use, even a clean one with NO apps installed. I Might get an extra hour out of it if i have auto sync off completely. Its also worth mentioning that my phone can get pretty toasty, around 112f at times when being used.
I feel like i need to use my extended battery to get what other people seem to be getting on the stock battery.
Is my rezound which i purchased on ebay defective?
Thats not normal for sure. I would download better battery stats and check your partial wake locks. Also 4g drains battery alot, especially if your in a spotty area with low signal. I use 3g unless I absolutely need 4g. (Youtube, downloading, etc.) From what you've described it sounds like something is keeping your device from sleeping. With that type of screen on time you should have much more battery left.

I had very similar battery life until I ran the ruu leak. It was a difficult decision but I decided that my battery life was so crappy that it was worth the risk installing the leak. If it didn't work I was going to return the phone. Well not only did it increase my battery life hardcore. But it also made my temps decrease as well. Prior I was hitting 115 with little to no effort. And after using clean rom Dev edition and the provided kernal I usually never get above 109 even under heavy load. It is worth noting that I have 4g disabled because in my area I usually get about 1.5 MB down and that's plenty for me. But with around 2 hours 15 min screen on time and 16 hours 43 min up, on the extended battery I have 49% battery left.
Again keep in mind that prior to the leak mine was literally as bad as yours in both heat and batt life.

here is my battery stats on stock rooted gb with bloatware removed, and the leak ics ruu radios installed. I PLAYED MUSIC ON BEATS AUDIO ALL DAY! it says music 10% but i swear cause i have it on all day for work thats why i bought this phone. and it just hit yellow i just got off work. i called alot to on breaks and what not. stock gb kernal is the shizz! ics sucks big time. my opinion. just sayin
It's the 4G that is causing poor battery life on all 4G capable phones. It's the network, not the phones. I think the Rezound compounds the issue with the sweet screen. I keep the brightness on low.
More info about why the current 4G implementation is killing our batteries:

I've found the battery life on my Rezound with the stock battery to be good as long as I disable 4G LTE. I'll only enable it when I really need it. Wish there was a widget to toggle it.
Just an update for you guys... Im now running Stock Rooted from Scott's site and I seem to be getting acceptable battery life... Its possible i have a very picky Rezound when it comes to roms and kernels? Bah..

Also remember when flashing a new rom, give it a couple of days to settle in. Battery should get better as you progress. Test what roms work for YOU. Everyone seems to get different results.

Id say this is some decent battery life given newt's rom is still a beta and our ics being a leak for now.
Has nothing on my Atrix though, i get easily day on that one with about 5-6 hours of screen time.
