Hello. I recently installed ADW EX home replacement and have noticed my battery being eaten alive! I unplugged it at 100% at 11am and with very minimal use (No wifi, no 3G, no Bluetooth etc...) and by 4pm I was at 60%. Without ADW I would still be in the 80's at least.
Has anyone expirenced this? Is this normal? Why would a new launcher drain my battery?
Thanks.

Yep. I concur. I noticed this also. Pretty snazzy adw but I went back to. LP instead.
Thanks. Crappy thing is I paid $3.50 for it and ony had 15 min to get a refund.... fail. lol
I'm not noticing that at all. What rom/setup are you using? Nero v3 + voodoo for me.
Well Im not rooted so the whole phone is stock. I would like to know how to root and make the tweaks tho. Is that what I need to do? Now Im at 43% without hardly using it in the past 6 hrs.
Check my signatures for guides that I wrote. The noob guide is where I would start.
I see a major problem with this policy.

At times it appears to be buggy, when you move your finger over the app drawer button and it slips out..... That button is toasted.
You have to create a short cut to get back into the app drawer and the settings button from the hardware key is no longer available.
Yes I too wished that I had more than 15 minutes to evaluate the software.
I do pay for other apps in the market, like the rom manager pro, root explorer.
Under this new 15 min policy the end users are stuck with more crap apps that do not perform tasks as advertised such as ..."SystemApp remover"...

Waiting for an update before I start using this full-time. There are alot of bugs thus far and it still should not have been given a release outside of a beta. The stock GB launcher that came with Nero v3 runs much smoother.
Nero v3 with voodoo n my battery is great. 12hrs plus with heavy use.... downloading, wifi, 3g, text,calling, and wordfued.

I noticed not only battery drain but extreme lag, especially when pressing the home button, which is set to only take me to my home screen. I noticed these problems while running nero v3 with voodoo enabled. I flashed axura 2.2.5.6 last night and restored everything including adw ex, updated everything, and noticed a vast improvement in all symptoms described above. Conclusion: either adw ex doesn't play well with nero v3, or perhaps you just need a fresh install of any rom just to clean things up a bit and give adw ex a clean slate to start with. Just thought Id chime in with my experience, hope this helps.
PS ADW EX is awesome! I really like the transitions and animation features. I currently use option 3 for animations, and it looks really cool. Also the hidden dock bars make it easy to sort your apps! Well worth the $3 IMO. I'm sure the bugs will be worked out soon if they're on the ADW end.
I've had for a week or so, no drain no difference, alot of the drain may be settings people haven't tweaked. The only real performance issue I see as less that Launcher pro, is the 3d app drawer displays a tiny bit of hang and a bit of lag. But, that isn't that much of an issue. And, ADW EX is way nicer interface.
I make 60-80 min of phone use per day with 40 average emails and 10 text, and of course all the self indulgence youtube..web etc After 12 hours of use I am usually in the 39-47% range...... I think people game a lot more than they realize and eat up battery that way........ADW EX......Nice App
Thanks everyone! Im new to this forum and really enjoy it.
I must say, I am NOT ROOTED and plan on figuring out how to do it. I think my battery issues could be better if I wasn't running a stock phone. In just the time it took to write this post, my phone drained 1%
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
have you actually checked to see what's using your battery, or are you just assuming its ADW?
I used task manager to discover adw cpu was around 60% after pressing home, before I wiped and flashed axura 2.2.5.6.
Not saying its adw, just passing my findings on. Im thinking I would have gotten similar results from wiping and flashing nero back. Something wasnt meshing right and I think the fresh install fixed it, not the switching of the rom. I just went with axura to check out the new version. Im a huge fan of both devs and switch between axura, nero, and eugene's often.
Heres the deal, im not a complete noob to rooting and installing kernals, roms and such however I am not the fore most expert either. I need help with my battery life on my TB! I had my phone off last night and charged it when I got up this morning around 5:30am I turned it on. I have not made any phone calls and only had it on to check my calander and use the calculator twice. I am running Lighting Rom. 3.3.1 and have blue emidemic theme flashed over that. I use launcher pro plus as my launcher and have facebook and twitter widgets open. Since this morning I have deleted the facebook and twitter widets hoping to stop the constant syncing is the background. I have Advanced task kill running as well trying to extend my battery. I have a list of every app i have on my phone typed up as a check list for when I wipe my phone going from rom to rom if you need to see that then PM me your email address and ill send it to you.
Please help I Love my phone but i dont what to have to buy that ugly extended battery. I am open for suggestions however when you send your suggestions please tell me how to do it or where I can get detailed instructions.Thank you in advance.
A lot of us are experiencing phenomenal results with the new RUU running das bamf. I haven't been charging since 8:00 this morning and have only used 10% battery on 3G. Try this Rom out. I could go all day before I need a recharge now.

How is that rom? does everything work with it? I was reading alittle bit about it yesterday but I havent had time to really disect it.
Try another kernel, there are lots to choose from. And see my comments in the imoseyon kernel thread for more battery saving options
About that..does anyone know if their battery is 1400 or 1350 maH? Mine is 1350 and I don't have 1400 and don't know if it is abnormal

EDIT....
I also maxed out screen brightness during this time because I was outside. I'll post another chart soon when I go back into wifi mode. I'll also maintain the same screen brightness.

Sorry for the back to back post but it's not letting me upload images on edit mode.
These pictures are being back in wifi from 4g and maintaining the same screen brightness. I think what I should do is reduced my oc from 1.5mhz to 1000 mhz while on 4g to reduce such a large current draw. Any ideas?

Hey I'm running Bamf Remix 1.6 and I'm not getting really good battery life... what kernel are you using?? Are you using using any power managers on it???
Does anyone know if anyone checked their battery 1400mah lion that came with the thunderbolt? Mine is 1350, but I don't know if that is normal. When I check the battery widget it says that, But I thought it was 1400.

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)
What is currently, in your opinion, is the best ROM, as of late?
I'm currently using the latest of Bulletproof. Flashed it, wiped battery stats (It was at a 100). Lasted me _roughly_ a day. It was off a few hours.
But, I'm wondering what others are like.
Primary things I look for :
Faster/Better Performance overall.
Longer-lasting Battery.
Thats about it, and I know those two are pretty much contradictions, cause the better the performance, the faster your battery drains (or atleast, how I comprehend all this..)
Any suggestions are really appreciated Thank you.
And to all the developer's - Keep on doing what you're doing. I'm quite impressed with the current ROM selection. I know there are issues with S-Off and what not, but, to see as many ROMs as there are in here, that is quite nice. Great job guys!
Install Beastmod and if you don't like appearance and functionality, get a Go launcher and install it.
With the Beastmod you get about 3% battery consumption with 8 hours standby

If your wifi works then you have the right kernel.
Use the Easy Kernel Flasher* to flash the proper kernels.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
A bit of a complicated title, but the basic question.
Sense vs non sense..does that affect battery life in anyway?
Also looking at the ROM size can you get an idea of how it SHOULD perform battery wise? ie do smaller ROMS, using the assumption that the have less stuff, get better battery life or if tat not necessarily true?
No, the only sure way to tell is to run it

The actual install footprint should make no difference since it's just sitting on the internal storage in the phone.
it's mostly usage,how bright your screem is and how long it's on. the rest is how the rom is configured and tweaked
the size is not by much
the senseless is pretty noticable

I dont browse a ton so Im not sure how much that would help but I can give it a try. That's the best out there though even with chrome and FF?
I gotta say one of the things a really dislike about sense is the browser. On vanilla you can just kill the tab and it closes the browser, cant do that with sense. So the next time I open it its at whatever page I left it at. If I don't want that I need to hit back a million times the get it back to home. Don't know really why it bothers me so much, I guess just a little idiosyncratic/OCD about it.

Yeah even on a senseless rom 3 hours of screen on time for me would be very good. Best ever would be around 2 and a half and that's with light usage. If I try to play any games drops like a stone, but I suppose that's to be expected for the most part.
That damn screen is the phones best and worst feature at the same time.
I have tried SpeedROM 8.0 and been on it for more than 2 weeks, but the battery life sucks. I heard Google Now was the culprit, but I don't know how to remove it. I still suspect after removing it, the battery would still suck. No offense Eclipze, I love the ROM, but battery life is bad on it. I don't know how you get so long.
I have tried Nightmare Sense 4 and battery life was awesome, but the camera was buggy and no quick settings. I tried AOSP Nightmare by brolic and it also had awesome battery life, but camera was unfocused and not working (in a different way than sense 4). Bluetooth did not work for both of them which sucked and I tried flashing the AOSP settings, but still no hope.
I am currently on Android Revolution HD (latest version as of now). The battery life is amazing on it, but I think Nightmare Sense 4 has better battery life, but I don't know. If anyone knows please comment about which one has better battery life.
My top 3 choices as of now:
Nightmare Sense 4
AOSP Nightmare Sense 4
Android Revolution HD
What ROM do you recommend with best battery for a gamer or a person that watches videos alot?
- Energy ROM (I didn't try it yet)
- SpeedROM 9.0 Beta (I didn't try it yet)
- FourthBar
- Android Revolution HD
- Nightmare Sense 4
- AOSP Nightmare
- Other ROM you recommend?
I need data and GPS working so no CM for me
Please make sure the ROM doesn't have any multi-touch issues.
I get very good battery life on NRG ROM, about 16 to 18 hrs with 3-4 hrs of use. I keep all GPS and Google location off if I'm not actively using it, since that kills standby battery life with very frequent Google maps wakelocks.
I like Nrg better than arhd because it has the extended quick settings and nrg tweaks.
I used speedROM faithfully with great success and satisfaction until the latest releases which I found a little buggy--unfun # of random reboots.
NRG has been very stable with faux 23b6, and it runs apex launcher like butter. Of course, your mileage may very. This is just my experience. I'm right there with you on needing all the phone's features. I would LOVE to see a sense 4 ROM with a working camera. That's a deal breaker especially on a phone like this where the camera is so awesome.

Eclipze, its semi-working for me. Sometimes it randomly crashes, other times the interface is glitchy.
I haven't stayed on a ROM, because there is one bug or behavior that drives you insane. I need a stable one to be able to play TDKR which I haven't been able to do cuz I keep switching ROMs back and forth.
One thing awesome is that this guy discovered why data doesn't work in CM9/CM10. Can't wait till its fixed, but one thing I gotta ask is what exactly is the "multi-touch issue".

to disable google now go open it go into settings and you should be able to turn it off, to just use the normal google search.. or just freeze or uninstall google search if thats your issue... as for improving battery life try speed rom or fourth-bar maybe even energy rom with the faux kernel
I generally don't game, but I'm a fairly heavy user - multiple GMail accounts syncing, Google Now, location services on, live wallpaper - and I get pretty darn good battery life out of NRG ROM. I would use the Sense 4 ROM because it's beautiful and has great battery life, but it doesn't have NFC and sometimes the camera died. (Although, apparently not for everyone. Odd....) I just keep a charger in my car, and use WiFi when I can.
As of right now, until either NFC is enabled on Sense 4, or CM10 is out of its experimental-type phase, I'd go with NRG or SpeedROM (with Google Now and location services shut off) Just my $0.02, though.

Well, apparently it hasn't been implemented on the Sense 4 ROM for the Amaze. At least, as of a few weeks ago. I didn't even have the option in the settings to turn it on, and it didn't respond to a tag that I have.

I'm happy with Fourth Bar: Infusion. I'm a fairly heavy user. Could go through two charges/day with the stock ROM. Fourth Bar gets me through the work day now.
SpeedRom 8 has been treating me well after reflashing the ICS RUU and it (got a bad flash the first time arround). So far battery life is about where BulletProof was for me on the GB OS. Streaming music on wi-fi for a good 6+ hrs a day and have about 30% battery left afterword.
