I have a GSM EVO 3D running mwakious ROM v9.0
ROM works perfectly with goog battery life, however on certain rare occasions, battery drains really quickly and jumps from battery percentages(ie 90% - 86% - 83% etc) until i restart the phone.
I have already done battery calibration at 100%
This has happened in a few of the previous roms that i have used and the battery usage screen doesnt show what is using it.
I downloaded better battery stats, but do not know how to use it
(however in the process section it shows mediaserver at the top of the ordered list.
I am using the ondemand cpu governor
What is causing this????
You could try Bad Ass battery Monitor. It is a little more user friendly.

Downloaded Badass battery Monitor and it shows the main consumer of the battery is system(*wakelock*).
When i click on that it shows
Included Processes
*wakelock*
mediaserver
So does everyone else have the same consumer or is it just me, and if i can, how do i stop this?
Found out what mediaserver process is, deleted my media to see if it solves problem

Hello...does anyone know?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
you need to calibrate your battery by fully charging your phone without taking it off charger. let it die without plugging it in at all. when its dead fully charge again. remember don't pull the charger off. it should be giving better battery life after that. I usually do mine a couple more times for the hell of it.
Does that really work?

Turn off Wifi, BT, data, and kill apps. Look into juice defender to help with your battery power.

yes it does. calibrating by "wiping battery stats" doesn't do ****. but calibrating by charging and killing does. its the only way I know of to actually calibrate a battery. I have significantly longer life in both my epic touch 4g and my evo 3d.

also you can check which apps are killing your battery. if your battery life is horrible you may have a rogue app. try using betterbatterystats and cpu spy.

I've never noticed it to give me better battery life. What I do is carry extra stock sized batteries with me if I know I will be away from a charger for a long time.

Lol battery stat wipe sometimes is needed if you flash a rom and it shows 99% with a green light as a full charge...
Once your phone hits 100% unplug it and let it die make sure fastboot is off and let it drop dead then let if fully charge
This has given me very good results with all phones I've had:
Get Juice Defender Ultimate from the market and follow the settings from this post:

I assure you you'll see wonders with your battery.
Props to mistermetaphor over at AF for the settings.
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.

Been running this for dad and my battery life last for like 2 hours and then drains i have check the settings and turned off auto back light and turned all the way down and set the sleep time to 15 min and still drains really bad. Is any one else having any trouble with battery. Also the Camera is not working ????/
You've hardly given us any info to go on..
GSM or CDMA?
What rom?
I'm guessing it's pure AOSP, thus it might have deep sleep issues (which would cause the battery drain), along with camera not working.
Try installing CPUSpy and BetterBatteryStats and try to identify the issue.

Well its cdma miui 2.7.13 for HTC evo 3d thought the title said it all. No camera issues just batter drain. I'll try that thanks

I'm getting extremely bad battery life (losing around 12 percent an hour on light use). I checked BBS and saw that level wake locks have been keeping my phone awake for a majority of the time that the screen is off. Could anyone give me any insight on how to fix this? Any help is appreciated.
Try another kernel.

I've tried almost all of the ones compatible with my ROM. I have an evo from virgin mobile though so there aren't nearly as many.
What do you see under alarms and partial wake locks

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm seeing the dhd wakelocks on my evo 3d as well, stock ICS
I really want to get a evo but I'm worried about the battery life. I do 2 things on a smartphone:
-Listen to music
-browse the web
I do this non stop until the battery runs out. Can someone tell me what battery life/ screen time you get when doing this.

In my experience the battery life on the EVO LTE is great, but it varies more than other phones I've used, based on how I use it. graphics-intensive games and other apps that keep the screen on and run the processor at the same time use it the most. You can do plenty of web browsing provided you keep the screen brightness halfway down, I use the automatic setting and don't notice much battery drain when browsing, but if you turn the brightness to it's highest setting you'll definitely notice more battery drain. I love the 4.7" screen but there's no way a screen that big isn't going to draw a lot of power with the backlight turned up. As for streaming music, that's no problem. I've listened to pandora for hours at a time with the screen off and only seen single-digit drops in battery percentage.
bro i thought the same thing cause u cant remove the battery.. but let me tell u i get great battery life out this phone... i had the og evo and the evo 3d.. and now evo lte.. this phone kicks major a$$!!!!!!

I use mine heavily for many graphics and radio intensive applications, and routinely get 14 or more hours on a charge. GPS is the one thing that will drop me below that. My brother has a galaxy s3 and gets much less.

I for one think that the battery life sucks on this phone. But I only can compare to the phone i had before the droid x from verizon, I could go 24 hours on the droid x but on the evo I get around 16 on normal everyday usage. now suppose I came from the evo or evo 3d phones and had a phone with that drained the power off the phone then I would be saying this phones battery rocks.
but with that all being said 16 hours on a smart phone really is not that bad.
