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?

So you are having issues as well?
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

I just flashed ka5 modem which was in tw last rom. I had great battery life and reception. Ill be testing tomorrow and will post my results with stock battery.
Its either this or not use it like most with 5 days use on a single charge.

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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Cell standby says its using about 20% of my battery over 17 hours even though time without signal is 0%.. what could be causing this and how might I fix it? this happens on both eclipse 2.03 and CM7
I have the same issue. Its a little better with cm7 than with eclipse but its still annoying. I'd also appreciate any input on the subject.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Using Eclipse 2.1 and after 7 Hours on its at 10%.I'd assume it'll be at 20% in 14.
Mine is only at 8% after about 14 hours on the amazing CM7

My GS2 will not sleep. It used to be just fine but two months ago I noticed after leaving my phone alone for two hours thar the batter went from full to 30. It constantly happens. I don't use the phone or even touch it and than when I check it and hour or two later its damn near dead. Is there a reason my phone isn't sleeping when its not I'm use?

There's an app that's eating your battery. Download an app called better battery stats and leave your phone alone. Then start that app and see which things have the most usage

I'm looking for battery stats in the apply market I'm not seeing anything. When I look at my battery useage it says the Android OS is using 66% of my battery!!!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
See that little box that says search at the top? Use that thing.
There's some program not allowing the phone to deep sleep. Look around on how to find what's causing that to happen. (Wakelock)

Anyone else having this kind of battery drain?

I'm not sure if that's really that unexpected.
It shows the battery going down, yes, but it also shows the phone was awake and the screen on almost that entire time.
If I played a game on mine, with the screen on the entire time, my battery would go down quickly as well.
Looks like you are streaming music, so yeah, perfectly normal

Wasn't streaming music untill the last 3 mins rest of the time I was just reply to a text that's about it

If that's all you were doing, then you've got some app keeping your phone awake and the screen on.
Fresh install though of vipers 1.2 Rom as apps did not have a chance to install yet from back up. Anyone know if the lte will drain the battery even quicker or is it the same as the 3g since its now integrated?

I had a similar issue and backed up my apps and did a fresh install and everything is great now. Don't forget to wipe Google wallet first

I still think it's because the screen was on that entire time. Check to see if you have it set to auto brightness.
As far as lte/cdma setting, I have not seen any difference in battery life when leaving lte on.
Yea I had auto brightness on was that the cause of it?

Download badass battery monitor, it will tell you what is using battery. I had a problem with wakelocks from mediaserver, killed some photo and music syncing services and battery life improved substantially.

I had been getting awesome battery life on my extended battery and had 4g coverage almost constantly. A full day 8-11pm no charging. Now I'm getting 8-9 hours depending on use and even turned off 4g and it hasn't helped since I started to not see 4g often.
Anyone else noticing a difference?

Install GSam battery monitor. See what apps are staying awake. Google maps likes to stay awake a lot

I'll give that a shot. Downloaded it and going to check it tomorrow and see.
A friend mentioned maybe my radio is not catching signals right and constantly searching for 4g but confused since I was constantly at 4g and I have not seen much 4g on my phone lately.

I keep background data off, I turn it on and off when I need it, I hate constant notifications.
