Hello been having some annoying problems with the phone since i rooted it a while back. I used HTC unlock method and followed the tutorial for hboot 1.5 immediately I got horrible battery life. I had twrp if that matters, aside from the horrible battery life. I'd get a lot of random reboots. I replaced battery battery still sucked. I did the hboot downgrade battery still sucks now, and random reboots started bad now. I've used miui rom a couple of senses ice cream they all ear my battery I'm full charge at 630am and by ten I'm getting the low battery notification, I have tried almost every from and non have worked. Is it time to bash this phone against a wall? Its the only android phone I've had that has done this. I'm a Android user since the g1 btw. Which had horrible battery life but in comparison it beats this phone. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

are you still using twrp and also will need some more details like are you running a custom rom and kernal and what rom and kernal are you using this info needed
I'm on clockwork now. I've never flashed a kernel so I pretty much use the kernel the rom comes with. I'm currently using digitalhigh's miui build and never flashed a kernel have never flashed one might this be the problem? If so where do I search?

Sounds like the kernal your using is the cause of the battery drain I wonder is it clocked above 1.5 if it is there's your problem

Do you know what clock speed you are running at?
This may seem like a silly question but what kind of case is your phone in, have you left your phone in a location that may have heat damaged your battery. Have you tried another battery and experienced the same rapid discharge?
Its a freaking meeting of the half minds in here OP excluded! Recovery is not the Culprit of the battery drain!
The culprit of the battery drain has to do with the Kernel for instance Anthrax Kernel is awesome but will drain your battery quicker then ****!
@OP I suggest you try meanrom it has a very good battery life and Mikeyxda is constantly trying to make it better and you have your choice between four different Kernels to choose from You have the new one (I dont remember the name) Ziggy's, Anthrax's and stock. I prefer Ziggy's and I get good battery life with it.
From what I have seen most if not all ICS roms are using Anthrax! As I stated before Anthrax Kernel in sleep mode drains your battery at 2% an hour so you can imagine how much it uses when its awake.
Dont get me wrong anthrax is blazing fast!
I assumed recovery had nothing to do it. Will try meanrom and report back.

How much screen on time? Do you have good signal? Are you leaving 4g on all the time? With constant use, it is normal to only get a few hours, especially with low signal or 4g.
Could be a rogue app. I like better battery monitor (available on xda) and bad ass battery monitor (in market) to see what is draining my battery.

I'm running MeanRom w/ dodava and it is BY FAR the best batt life i've had on this phone to date. On light usage days I can go all day (12+ hours) and still have >75% left. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate to auto-disable data/gps/etc on screen-off but from what you're saying it sounds like your batt life is freakishly bad. I don't think it's even a wakelock issue, you must have a runaway application eating 100% cpu all the time or something severely broken in your OS.
I'm guessing you didn't do a full wipe of the phone before flashing MeanRom?
Also, after flashing a new kernel/rom your battery stats may be messed up and you may need to recalibrate before it's accurate again:
I use the app "BatteryCalibration" by NeMa (free in Market).
Just follow the instructions in the app.
So... You need to flash it again but this time:
1.) Do a full wipe by flashing one of those Wipe utils first. There's a link to one on the MeanRom page as MikeyXDA mentions it. DO NOT Reboot after doing the wipe but proceed immediately to install the MeanROM zip. This will wipe out any data that doesn't sync to google. Your SD card will not be erased but everythign else will.
2.) Do be extremely selective about re-installing your applications. The Android system may have gotten FUBAR'd from flashing of different ROMs on top of each other and that may be the cause and would be fixed by #1 above but it's just as likely you've installed some very bad application(s). When you open Google Market for the first time after a clean wipe and flash it will start re-downloading everything you had installed before. STOP it from doing that. Even if you have to pull the batt out or whatever. Next time you open it, it won't automatically start installing everything but will let you choose them one at a time. Install only the bare minimum apps at first and check an App Killer and CPU monitor like SystemPanel Lite to look for high CPU usage and kill any stuck apps. Each day maybe you can add a few more apps and this way you'll know when your batt life goes to hell again which app it was that sent it there.
Anytime you switch from one ROM to another you should do a full wipe. The only exception is when maybe flashing a newer version of the same ROM on top of an older one. (i.e. Flashing MeanRom 4.3 on top of 4.1 or something.) I've noticed that after kernel upgrades even though my battery often needs to be recalibrated.
I unplugged my phone 3+ hrs ago, lightly checked it a couple of times this morning and glanced at it a few times while writing this and I'm still at 96%. I'm running MeanRom 4.1 at the moment but will upgrade to 4.3 tonight maybe.

The Thunderbolt battery life just flat out sucks. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue related to Sense but it seems strange that the Droid Charge is getting over 2 days on a 1600 mAh battery on a single charge AND it's a 4g-LTE phone. So I don't know what's going on at HTC but that's ridiculous to hear Samsung's numbers.
I have two 1700 mah extended (slim) batteries and an external charger on order from ebay. I'll let everyone know if it helps or not.
I'm going through about 3 full charges a day so maybe at least I wont have to leave it plugged in all day.

Opinions will vary but do your self a favor and install this rom = Bamf Remix 1.6.2
I use the lightning rom series (all versions) with the blue epedemic theme. Very stable amd I tried just about every kernel with them. However nothing and i mena nothing comes close to the Bamf Roms / kernels.
You also have to consider that its not just the rom or kernel it is also what you leave on or turn off, what you sync, apps that you use and a ton of over things. I am always willing to help out a Noob. So if you neeed some tips on what to do after you flash yuor rom of choice, hit me up on a PM.
Take a look at my screenshot (attached) heavy use all day on 3g only and I got 18hours out of it. Its normally about 24 to 26, but I realy used my phone today (Texts, emails, facebook, browserand of course XDA)

Did you do a full wipe before installing it I'm running CleanRom 1.6.5 SP1 and battery for me is great.
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.

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.
Ok, this is my first all-in-one thread. Please bare with me on this one. I'll try keep it updated often to keep the info fresh.
I know everyone is getting a mixed bag of results with the stock battery performance. In time with enough information gathered, I'll compile the average results into this thread to make it easy for everyone. So instead of looking through 100's of posts, people can read about it here.
Also, anyone who are willing to participate and contribute to this, that would be appreciated.
For best results, complete recharge and discharge cycles are needed to be done for accurate results on your end, along with wiped battery stats.

I've been reading about the Anker 1900mah batteries. Majority of people here recommend those as a current solution. I'm planning on getting a pair of those soon.
Reserved, just in case...
This thread might suite my observations…
Many users were complaining about the quick battery drainage. So last night I decided to monitor the applications activities during the phone idle status. I launched a dozen commonly used apps and left the smartphone to overnight having all them in background.
During seven hours of idle time - 50% of battery charge disappeared. BUT I caught the guilty one. It turned out to be the Google Translate. Whilst left running in background, it’s loading CPU for about 60% and draining the charge. Thereby it may be used but MUST be killed when no needed anymore.
Apart of that I may add that I am very pleased with my battery life for the past three days - after I flashed the fabulous leak, and then uninstalled near 50 apk’s of the thoroughfine crap, and cleared the dalvik-cash. I deem it simply doubled from the time of GB period of life.

Checked radio md5 Sum and tried to reflash (got "remote not allowed error in fastboot)
Reflashed ROM
Still can't flash in fastboot, still apalling battery life
It LOOKS like the culprit is my mobile network signal, which is one big yellow line, as if I'm on a 24/7 phone call. Can't find any answers on the ARHD thread, and Google has failed me. ANYBODY?! I LOVE Mike1986's ROMs, but the battery life on this one is killing me.

I used to switch mine to GSM mode only to save battery, and then switch back to 4g when I was in good coverage or needed high speed Internet. I found that increased my battery life (I theorize because the device is not "hunting" between 3 and 2 G). There are apps that will take you to the exact setting to change it. Just a thought.
Here is what mine looks like right now. @ 81%. Few phone calls less than 10 min total, about 50 text messages, and about 5 min of web browsing. The rest of the time the phone was not being used. This is with JD disabled.
Tried . . . Waiting and Seeing

Update 4EXT (If available). Make sure your phone is charger 100%. Boot into recovery. Wipe delvik cache + cache. The wipe battery stats.

Thanks for the suggestions. I gave it a try, but I'm just on the first cycle through the battery so we'll see. BUT (and I'll attach a pic) my mobile network signal bar in the battery usage is still a constant yellow. I've never seen this before.
Also, I still don't have the ability to flash a .img in fastboot, although I've definitely done it before, on this particular ROM even. I try to reflash the radio and get this:
sending 'radio' (21997 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
This probably belongs in the Dev section, but I'm not privileged enough to post there yet
Hmm, seems like the battery issue might be connected to the mobile signal being up all the time. I too have never seen that before.

He might try switching to 2G for a day and see if it helps.

Anker battery and wipe delvik cache, cache and battery stats. You should see a huge improvement

I keep mine on wcdma only and get the same result. Here in NC it switches between 2g and 4g any chance it gets.

I get 6-7 hours of use on gb and ics, tops no matter how much I don't use it or change settings. Brightness at 10%
Feels like my phone is programmed to die within 6-7 hours...if I were to get a new phone any time soon it'll be because of the battery =\

Yeah I think its time to finally make the move to Anker... Way too many recommendations from trusted members for me to not. I've wiped everything and IT DID HELP (to all the naysayers) but my battery still gets smashed. I hardly put my phone down... I work a desk job

WTH?!I am using speed rom 8, stock kernel, and my battery jumps around like crazy, has anyone else had had his issue? I think its probably a bad battery. Sometime it falls off insanely quick and at the low end it just dies around 20% or so then I reboot and it up around 30...any ideas?

Seeing similar results on my nightmare rom with sense 4.

This has happend to me even on stock. It's purely a battery issue, I went hiking and my phone got slightly moist, and the warranty sticker on the battery went red. See if you have one on your battery, I took mine to my carrier and told me its was covered under HTC's warranty.
This happened to me on stock but tmobile sent me a new phone for $5 and that resolved my issue.
When I was using speed ROM I noticed the same thing with my battery. I don't remember how it was with stock so I can't comment there.
But I have attached a picture of my ROM battery life now that I've switched to the fusion ROM and so far it seems better.
The only thing I can see from the graph you've posted is that your screen was on slightly longer than mine, but that's no reason for such terrible battery.
Might be the ROM and I hate to suggest it, but you might be better of if you try another ROM.

it's always best to calibrate battery anytime you install a rom or even updating a rom use a app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
& also you should use faux kernel the aroma version as you can tweak to save maga battery & with his new apk form the market this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50ZWFta2FuZy5mYXV4Y2xvY2siXQ..
it makes battery life look like ur tripping on acid lmfao i get about 2 days even more if i turn off my wifi but i never do that lol
Hope this helps someone :highfive:

I believe I saw the last time I installed NRG that the installer deletes the battery stats...

Same here. I am running JB fusion with faux kernel and I am getting this
It's the stock batteries. Getting an aftermarket, such as Anker, solved the issue for me.

That's what was happening to me + random reboots the first time I flashed speed rom 8. Thought it was the rom so I switched to Infusion, but was getting the same thing and data stopped working.
Here what I did which seems to have resolved the issue for me:
1) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe
2) Flashed the stock ICS RUU (I used the R2 variant)
3) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe again
4) Flashed SpeedRom 8
5) Did NOT turn on Google Now - It's a battery hog but was not related to the stability issues.
Now i'm running SpeedRom 8 and it's perfectly stable with great battey life. Only thing I've noticed is I seem to not be able to run Wi-Fi and Blutooth at the same time. Wi-Fi will drop out within 10 - 20 minutes if I do. Can't get it back unless I turn of BT and turn off Wi-FI and turn it back on. Weird but livable.
