I'm S-Off and RUU'd back to GB because the new firmware/radios had me down about battery life. Before the leak, I used to get ~10hrs total battery time with normal usage on stock battery. Once I went to ICS Leak, that was down around 6 so I figured I'd go back. After a few days being back on GB, I've found I still can't get my battery to last. I'm running Ineff. 1.4 and Incredikernal 6 currently, and When my screen is on (brightness set at 20%) for 10min I'll drop 15%. Anyone have words of advice? I'm seeing people with ridiculous battery life and wondering if I should run the GB RUU again. Thoughts? Also battery still burning upwards of 118 when screen is on for a little bit.
The latest ICS kernel was the biggest issue with battery life...
What settings do you have on the kernel?
I'm just letting it run, no Set CPU settings or anything. Should I not let it govern itself?

I'd stick to the stock kernel if you're going that route.

The first thing I did with s-off was downgrade to the latest GB RUU from the ICS leak. Now I'm on eng hboot and CleanRom 4.3 Pro with the GB patch and stock kernel that's packaged with the ROM. This was all yesterday. Today I've got 41% battery left after 16 hours (extended bat.) and have used the phone considerably setting up the ROM and reloading all my apps, plus several phone calls, emails and texts. I don't have 4G in my area so that's turned off and I know that 4G is a significant drain but this is noticeably better than what I was getting. I'll have a better idea in a couple of days when everything settles in.
I definitely would run the stock kernel for your testing purposes with no CPU control. If you still have major issues I'd look towards an app or location service that's enabled.

Thanks guys, I'll look into either going back stock or using incredicontrol. Any suggestions on proper tweaking w/incredicontrol?
im getting great battery life back on stock ruu gb with the new patched eng hboot 2.11.111 and set cpu (1020 high, 192 low on conservative) and i play MUSIC ALL DAY AT WORK 9 FULL HOURS OF DRE BEATS ON!. also my break and lunch im on facebook and on the phone with my gf. i get like 12 hours out of my regular battery. just my 2 cents. i had ics and its blow bigtime. i dont even want the ota really.
I've been working on my friend's rezound. He's been suffering wake lock issuses since applying the 2.01 OTA. Battery has gone from about 10hrs on full charge, to about 4hrs. I unlocked bootloader and tried updating to the ics firmware and trying an ics rom but still has the same issue. I performed the s-off wire trick and rolled everything back to stock firmware and rom and that didn't work. never messed with a custom kernel. Anyone have any ideas for a fix? Or are we just going to have to wait for an official update from verizon? I've read of people on the verizon forums complaining about wake lock as well.

Ive noticed worse battery life as well after going s-off. Thought i was going crazy.
There are definitely degrees of badness here.
GB on GB firmware/radios is the coolest.
GB on ICS firmware is warmer.
ICS on GB firmware is even warmer.
ICS on ICS firmware is the hottest I've seen.
I cannot run screen-on indefinitely on any ICS without overheating the battery.
I had the same problem it appear suddenly
Cell standby took near as half screen does
I did try many rom
Only full wipe helped including internal strong
Now I'm with inf1.4
Battery is the gr8est
On the wake lock issue, someone discovered the AOSP lockscreen was preventing the phone from sleeping correctly. I can't remember if it was a certain combination or just the lockscreen running a background process.
Since you've tried all kinds of stuff I don't know if that applies to you or not but if nothing else I was hoping it might spur a thought process or new ideas for research.

Im running 1.6 sp1 as well. I'm getting pretty decent battery life. Can't say much about 1.1 though. But compared to the ICS leaks its fantastic haha.

I think running incredikernel with his tweaks or the fact the tweaks aren't working with that kernel is probably causing the quick drain. You can run that kernel ,but I would delete the file with the tweaks on it. I am not sure of the name it was in this thread some posts back. Otherwise, switch to the kernel that came with the rom and try that.
Running 1.6.5 sp1 and having good battery life. Then again, I was running the ICS version for a while. From what I remember it's better than I was getting with 1.1.
My battery has been pretty bad, but don't know if it's the ROM or its the upgraded radio. Did both at the same time. Same programs and usage patterns, but significantly shorter battery life. Even with mobile data off, the drain during sleep is a lot higher than before.

I have. Nothing out of the ordinary - all the same things I had running in 1.5.5. The problem is not wakelocks. something is making the battery drain at a higher level all the time. I also used battery monitor widget to look at the battery drain. Before it would drain at around -180ma when the phone is sleeping. Now the lowest it goes is -310ma. Similarly, when charging, it used to charge at a max of 970ma... Now it maxes out at around 790ma. So something is just constantly drawing more power, even on a brand new flash of 1.6.5 with nothing else installed.
So I think the new radio is the culprit and am hoping that the ICS upgrade comes soon with a new radio.
Same thing is happening to me exactly

This is a test thread for those experiencing excessive battery drain on the latest RUU leak 3.11.605.22.
This is only a test! I dont know if this will fix anything! Pleast post your findings!
Background
Some people with the latest kernel from 3.11.605.22 leak are experiencing excessive battery drain accompanied with excessive heat. I and others believe this is kernel related and need some people to test the older kernels with the latest leak. This is meant only for those with these symptoms. If you are not having this problem then skip this thread!
Instructions
Install the 3.0.13 Kernel and test battery and heat. Flash in recovery like any other mod / ROM. It will then reboot to boot loader and from there you press power to make phone scan the SD card and then allow it to update the boot.img
Notes
The 3.0.13 kernel had the blue flash issue. Do not report that bug. I know it exist and you know it exist. The purpose of this thread is to for drain and heat! The 3.0.13 kernel may not charge 3.8v batteries properly.I honestly cant remember so can you report the findings if you have a 3.8v battery?
You do not need to wipe anything when you flash these kernels.
I have also posted the original kernel from the latest leak so you can revert back.
Once again this is just a test for those experiencing excessive battery and heat problems with the latest RUU leak 3.11.605.22. This is not a fix or work around for any other issue.
Please test these kernel so we can figure out why some are having this issue!
Thanks to Con24 for the install script!
Thanks,
-Scott
Flashed. Will report back.
All good so far. Can't seem to reproduce the high temps. Tethering, charging and camera all at the same time, no heat issue. It's only been an hour. Will report back later. Thanks for your help.

So you had the heat issue before but with the kernel I posted it seems better?
I did test this as I was initially having heat problems with the 3.016 kernal. I was hesitant to post the results as I seem to have more difficulty than most with this particular device. My first install after ruu I had temps around 120 and battery drain. Wiping and reflashing brought it down to about 105 Max, and decent battery life . Since I was about to flash the clean pro I figured what the hell. Flashed the 3.013 kernal and ran it for a couple hours and my temp averaged 115 to 120 again. I then flashed back to the 3.016 kernal and whaddaya know, 115 to 120 again.
Wiped boot,and 5x wiped ...flashed cleanrom pro edition and it hasn't even hit 100 degrees yet.
It should be noted that I believe I have "one of those devices" that sometimes just doesn't work right for whatever reason.

Yes, phone would get very hot while tethering and having it plugged in. Thus far, no more heat issue.
I have a major heat/battery drain problem running the latest leaked RUU. My phone will go from 100% charge down to 50 in less than an hour! It also gets extremely overheated to the point that i end up popping the back cover and battery to let everything cool down. I mean my phone gets HOT. I was thinking I just happened to be one of the "lucky" few with a "bad" device but I will try flashing the kernel and report my findings back here . I'll keep my fingers crossed!!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I'm wondering if on some devices if the actual flashing of kernal may be going wrong somehow. If someone flashes this and still has a heat issue could you try simply reflashing the kernal.

Drain about the same. Not charging 3.8 battery past 93%.
Yea, not much change here, Seems cooler, but drains the same. I am gonna flash cleanrom 4.1 pro and 5xwipe and see if a clean install of everything is any better. Will post back with more later.
Have you guys reached out to IMO for kernel help? I read he was interested in making rezound kernels. The more help the better.
I've been trying to replicate the heating and battery drain problem by switching back and forth between the two kernels but have been unsuccessful. It's strange because I did the exact same thing. The only difference is that when I got it to heat up this morning I was on cleanrom regular, now on pro.
Makes it seem completely random.

Reach out to who? No one has source code for ICS so I am not sure who woudl really be able to help with out that though.
I've been debating whether or not to upgrade my firmware to the latest and I keep going back and forth.
Can we discuss the pros/cons of doing so?
All I really know is that NOT having the new firmware limits support for most ROMS and can cause some issues. I have also heard its hard (impossible?) to go back to the old one if it was necessary to do so?
Thanks!

Pros:
ICS is awesome!
Smoother, faster, etc
Battery seems to charge sightly faster
Cons:
Bad battery life (horrible, worse than GB)
CPU overheats (sometimes to 110 degrees!)
Worse reception
Can't downgrade to old firmware till we get S-OFF
In other words, don't upgrade!
I personally have stayed off the firmware and I'm going to wait until ROMs are based off the official OTA or we get S-OFF.
There's a firmware patch anyway that lets you run recent ROMs on the old firmware, so that's a plus.
I've been running ICS ROMs for months with no issues and it's actual ICS.
Heard too many issues coming off the leak anyway.
It seems like the new firmware has the CPU running full tilt where the old firmware did a better job of governing. So the phone gets hot quick(for me screen on only) but stop using it and it cools off fast as well.

I thought the CPU issues were with the kernel, not the firmware?
For me, the news has all been good except for one thing re: new firmware...
Cell Reception.
I can't keep a call connected unless I go outside. Data is great, and overall signal quality is good... until I get a phone call. Then I immediately lose at least 2 bars! How dumb is that!?!?
I can't wait to get S-Off so I can flash the old radio back on. I'm hoping that fixes it.
Pro : no more Blue Flicker
Cons : Reboot like a zillion time a day WTF ??? Bur I think it's just me
Glad I posted this before just going for it. Seems like its not worth it at this point in time. S-off is a long was away, right? I'll just stick it out with the old one.

I do too, but I think it's more due to the Devs like Nils and lllboredlll tweaking their ROMS for max battery conservation than the new firmware.
I've just solved my rebooting Issue by doing this
1. Reboot into recovery -> Format all to EXT3 and wipe everything
2. Lock Bootloader
3. Flash the leak -> let it run till the end and will automatically reboot back into bootloader.
4. You'll notice the "TAMPERED" on top of the screen has been gone.
5. Flash the leak the 2nd Time and you'll be good.
I've been on it for 3 days without a reboot or slow down or heating issue. Now, I gotta say this leak is great in term of stability, battery life, signal (in Seattle,WA) and performance compared to Gingerbreak.
First, here's a poll on battery life. It seems most people got better or the same battery life with the update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23874951
I upgrade to the new firmware and at first thought I was getting horrible battery life, then it got better about 8 hours with 2 hours screen on time.
Then, I decided to go back down to the old firmware and radio because Andy told me he was getting better battery life on it. I went back down, a and honestly--I haven't noticed a real big difference in battery life with screen on. Both firmwares get about 2 hours on screen time. You can get awesome battery life on either ROM If you leave screen off, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the phone. The new firmware gets better battery life when the screen is off, I think.
The radios are hit or miss, I think. The 4g reception is always different day to day in my daily commutes. Sometimes I'll get a constant 4g signal. Other days it'll be spotty, while some days it just stay on 3g and then I have to put it in airplane mode to get 4g again. And then 5 minutes later it goes back to 3g. I haven't really noticed much of a difference in call quality, but don't really pay attention to that.
I may go back to the new RUU, honestly.

I guess what confused me was something in this thread led me to believe that if you used the "patch" to install from GB, you would still be on the old firmware but running ICS. I'm currently on ClearnROM ICS Pro (ICS obviously)
The very first thing I did upon getting S-OFF was to get off that darned leaked firmware.
I sugesst waiting, personally.
there's so much more negatives than positive, at least was for me.
I run ICS on GB firmware and runs great. Sense 4, does as well. the patch works very well.
also before returning to GB frimware, I was running the leaked for a while and I personally didn't notice the new firmware to be much if any smoother.
all it did was overheat and destroy my batt life.
lesson learned for me.
no more messing around until we have an option to return to normal.
I am just lucky that I didn't brick my rez in the beta s-off(which the method works great BTW!, I hope to see it released ASAP!!) and was able to return to stock firmware, and enjoy my phone again.

Just so we all know, what all did it take for you to roll back to the GB firmware when you had S-Off?
Ever since going to JB on my EVO 4G LTE, I've only had problems upon problems. Most noticeable is that my Google navigation never works anymore. It will work for about 5 seconds before freezing up. Secondly, my battery life is reduced by about 50% than what it was before JB. I used to go 2-3 days without having to recharge; now, my battery easily dies by the end of the day.
Is there a way to put ICS back on this phone?

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled. If you keep your 4g data connection on all the time then you will end up with horrendous battery life on any ROM; good luck
Don't get mugen, go to eBay and get EC battery (1900mA). I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled.

Well if your on a tmobile firmware just download the firmware from arhd thread and rename it PH85IMG.zip and run it from bootloader if your not in a tmobile firmware according to my knowledge it's best if you run a tmobile ruu and then proceed

thanks for your help.. before i proceed, let me explain exactly how the battery drain happens....
when i charge it up to 100%, immediately i unplug it and leave it for 5 minutes without use, it goes down to 96%, and soon goes down to 89% within another few minutes and continues that way.. when am using the phone, the battery drain is even worse. what do you think? should i still proceed with your method?

The latest OTA update from tmobile did a lot of optimization for our Rom. Battery sees an improvement. Follow my guide and report back. ARHD 4.0 is based off of the latest OTA and I can't complain.
