How have peoples battery life on the new ROM? I've noticed that since I installed it, that my battery is going dead in about half the time it was on the preview release. Any ideas/suggestions?

Mine seems to wear down faster than it used to (not nearly as fast as the BAMF leak). I wouldn't call it twice as fast, just faster. What I have noticed is it also charges quite a bit faster than it used to. I like the faster battery charge, unless it's just giving us a false reading when it's not really full, which might also explain the quicker wear down.
I use the extended battery so wear down is less of an issue for me.
Make sure you check the battery menu under system settings. The first time for me the light turned green but under that menu it said it was still at 78 pct

solid 13 hrs here, not sure why yours would do that.
I think I found something that helped... I flashed the combo radio, and it caused a big signal problem, so I flashed back to the radio I had before, and my battery is doing MUCH better.

I'm running liquid's ics (jmod) public beta 2 with the combo radio and my battery life is awesome. I haven't run it down yet, but it's easily lasting twice as long as my old gingerbread rom which could go a day without a charge and light use. When it's idling in ICS, the battery life seems to hardly drop at all.
I think I figured out why my battery wears down quicker. I've always kept LTE turned off. It's been on lately, so that would account for my additional battery drain.
I set battery percentage to show up on my lock screen, so it's easy to see the battery percent without going through the menu.
I got over 13 hrs. today. Most of the day I put the phone in CDMA evdo auto which helped a lot. I work in a lot of areas that don't get 4g so it drains my battery super fast searching for a signal all day.

Mine is not to bad. Not as good as it was on Thundershed but that could be cause I'm on it more playing. Also still getting my screen down to levels I like.
Time will tell for me.
Really think that reflashing radio fixed me. Did that, reboot a couple times and...

I also noticed that the lower menu bar (home - menu - back - search bar) stays backlit all the time. Including when I push the button to turn the screen off.
I don't know if I accidentally did that while playing with all the settings, or if everyone else's is doing that too. Either way, I'm pretty sure that will affect my battery life as well.
Edit: A reboot seems to have cured my backlight issue.
My back light is off permanently for some reason

My battery life has been horrible for months. I can leave my phone plugged in all night and it will only charge to 52%. If I turn it off and charge it for a couple hours it'll read 72%. That is as high as I can get it to go. No fully charged. For about the last 3 weeks it'll drain in about 2 hours. I've been running the new radio recently and still see no change. I even turn off LTE and still don't see much of a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Drain it and charge 8 hours with it off then reset battery memory.

Hi guys,
I bought EVO 3d about 4 days ago and I'm really not sure if I have faulty battery or not.
I had wildfire,so maybe I'm little bit spoiled with its good battery life..
For example I'm now browsing and using tapatalk only, with brightness on lowest setting (even capacitive buttons are turned off via screen filter) and after 1,5 hour phone takes 20% of battery!!
Sys info showing that 90% is consumed by display.
Is it normal or not?
It doesn't look like ok to me..:/
I can still return EVO and get desire s instead,if it doesn't have battery life issues...
Thnx for replies
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using Tapatalk
So after this day I have 17 hours without charging, around 5 hours of using dispaly (4h on lowest bright. set. and 1 hour of 60%) this drains 70% of all consumed power
Rest is wifi,some cpu time etc..
Is it ok or not? I had wildfire and battery life with surfing and reading books was unstoppable..
I can also switch this phone for Desire S, but I have no idea how long battery life it has..
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using Tapatalk
Get another battery. Also are you rooted and overclocked?
no, everything is stock, unless bunch of apps.. but ia I said, everything is consumed by lcd.. another battery on 4 days old phone sounds really bad [and hurt my wallet ]
how long you can go with yours ? how many hours can yours display handle on one charge ?
I really needsone help here. When I charge my batt. fully (green light) put out charger and turn it off and on again I can charge it again for really long time (for example 30+min) and I can do this multiple times.. charging time is shorter each time..
I tried this procedure twice and seems to be same..
I need some battery reset or something, I read some topics about it,but I'm not sure what to do. And i don't have rooted phone.
What should I do in this situation, without rooting device? (which I have never done before and I'm afraid of bricking my phone )

I get about 14 hours on a full charge man if I do lil to nothing such as text some youtube and xda and what not I can go a day without charging.
Anyways haven't had any issues.
I can get all day with small use too, but I wanted to know the real number of hours with turned on display, the value from default battry usage application which counts time for display separately.
I have had the same issues as you with battery, I'm rooted and on a custom ROM (steel rom) and battery life has been much better, also they sent an ota update by HTC that is supposedly going to make battery life better

oh.. maybe its not battery problem but it's standar behavior :/ thats why I asked if is there huge difference between evo and desire S, which I can get insted of evo,[for the same price] I know desire is worse in many aspects [and dispay is really small, comapre to evo] but what is the point of having superb phone, when I have to switch off every auto function and half of widgets only to have one day of use because of crappy batery life...??
I'll gladly have worse piece of hardware [which is not that much regards to normal use - web/mail/phone] if it can stay alive twice as long. But as I said I have no idea how are other smart phones capable to stay alive these days..
I had only wildfire, and it was good.

I get around 16hrs. dual core constant, FB, words with friends, texting, winamp with bluetooth headphones.
Do you have that sync enabled in the background, that drains power.
Three things turn GPS off when not using turn auto brightness off and dim it down till you are happy.. Also make sure you don't have any 3rd party apps keeping your phone awake..
I can get about 24hrs of use outta my phone moderate use or more.. Calls,texts,xda app,youtube.. Anyway I am also on stock kernel... I use a Seidio 1900 mha batt slightly better compared to stock batt. Stock battery I could get about 18hrs with moderate use... If your on your phone playing for 6 to 4 hrs str8 that may kill your phone quicker lol.. Display is the main thing eatin up the juice...
In almost every bad battery post I always see bad signal. Turn off turn off the 4G unless you are actively using it.
This is what pisses me off about HTC phones lol. In battery threads all you see is "turn off, turn off, turn off." We've come so accustomed to it that we actually feel this is routine. It sucks.

freeza has ramdisk mods that help with battery life (old and new base)
my kernels also get great battery life (old base)
(depending on apps installed on ur device)
both these options help a lot, without disabling stuff
on warm 3.5 build 116 and my r14 kernel, default settings - i get 26-28 hours between charges with light to moderate use
heavy use - abt 14-16 hours (with over 70% of battery going on screen-on - lcd backlight will drain battery FAST...nothing to really do abt it except lower brightness)

first drop task manager.. evolte has one built in sorta but android doesnt need it. i would drop both to be honest ive pounded mine in use and still havent gone into the yellow. first thin i would look at is cell signal.. update prl/profile etc. then second check your stats sending.. did you agree to send HTC/google data on usage? if so maybe thats it tho i doubt it
last check on apps youve installed maybe you got one thats going nuts.. take a screen shot of your power usage and post it too
Yeah, you don't need a task manager on android 2.2+
Also, does Evo LTE have the same charging circuitry the Evo 4g did, where if you pull it off the charger at 100%, it really could be anywhere from 90-100 and battery meter shows the true charge a couple minutes off charger ?

The problem is according to your username and icon you're on AT&T.
It takes a lot of juice for that Sprint phone to pick up an AT&T signal so it runs your battery down faster.
This is after the initial charge

I love how well this phone "sleeps." I left it unplugged during the night, and when I check it this morning it only had two little blips of Awake time.
I'm not getting more than 10 to 12 hours out of a charge with light use. I have got to figure this out.
Edit: battery use says 68% is the display. Maybe its the newness still.

i dont think it makes a difference on this phone. on the OG yes.. if you turned on wimax even in a wimax area it sucked power. my understanding is the wimax used a separate chip and thus drew more power where as LTE is built in and uses no real extra power
Ive fully charged the phone twice so far and both times Ive gotten around 23hours of use. Thats with moderate usage of texts, facebook, internet, and the addicting yet battery killing game Crime City. I bet if I didnt play that game I could easily get a day and a half.
For reference, my OG evo battery would be dead in about 6 hours doing the same exact stuff. Granted, I was on the original 2 year old battery.
I've used the crap out of my phone the last two days and my phone has lasted all day and then some. Yesterday I was in an area that had no service and I was taking pictures all day and my battery was at 40 percent after 15 hours of heavy use.

My battery is amazing I still have 70% after 8 hrs. Try downloading bad ass battery monitor it's great. I also use battery level to keep my screen at 25% and not auto brightness or nothing. The other saving tips could be obvious, no vibration on anything, wifi if possible, not many widgets running, syncing. I always turn my 3G/mobile network off when I leave the house I just turn it on when I'm checking FB, Twitter stuff like that

So I've gradually been trying every ics Rom on xda including stock ruu leaks. With 4g off no CPU monitor or manager. The max I've gotten is 6-8 hours with less than 1 minute of screen on time on some occasions. My gb battery life is great. People are saying the latest leak is gonna be the ota if so how am I supposed to get greater or equal battery life to gb?

I'm not sure, maybe you keep getting bad installs? Maybe you should try to RUU to the latest so you can get the better radios, Idk.
I get essentially the exact same battery life on ICS as I do with GB. I posted my stats in the battery stats thread, but I can get about 24 hours off the charger, with 3.5 hours screen on with 4G on, when I'm in an area with it, on ICS and GB.
Also, by RUU are you having it flash everything, including the radios? Or are you just flashing a zip of a rom based off of an RUU?
I made sure I flashed with the ruu in hboot. And on any of them I get a fraction of my battery life. It's very frustrating. I'm s-off too. Ics just hates my phone I really hope the ota works for me. So anyone have any idea why I can't use any leak ? Should I ruu back to to stock then maybe ruu the New Ics leak?

you say screentime may be low, but does it show that your phone stays sleeping or is there a lot of awake time compared to the screentime? There might either be a rogue app or something that keeps running and wont let it sleep. Might try installing a battery monitor like Battery Monitor Widget to see what is draining your battery so much. BetterBatteryStats is a much better app, but costs $3. Bit pricey for something I might rarely use

I bought betterbatterystats a couple weeks ago cause I was hoping that is was just a rogue app draining juice, but my awake time was pretty normal I dont remember the exact stats. The latest leak I just flashed turned off 4g lowered brightness and screen timeout. I didn't even install any apps so I could give the battery life a test drive. My battery dropped 15 in less than an hour without use. There's gotta be some reason why its sooo much less on ics than gb. I'm thinking about ruuing stock gb then hboot factory reset the newest ics ruu and con Rom. Anyone think it would help?

anybody can get that with an extended battery. reason it's idling that long is because you aren't using it. if you'd manage 2.5 days with over 5 hours of screen on time then I'd be impressed
It's not screen on time, but streaming Pandora or slacker for 8 hrs a day, facebook, web browsing, texts and calls throughout the day all with 4g running

I had hell with ics on my phone was getting crappy battery life and some heat issues. I was getting upset because I couldn't get it to work. Finally got it up and running with good battery and hardly any heat. What I had to do was flash the ruu, go back to fastboot do factory reset, flash again, another factory reset and its now working. Most people say flash twice and do a reset but that didn't work so I did a reset between flashes and so far its doing good.
Edit added some pics. Those stats are with extended battery.

Refurb handles ics like a champ. 6 hours on battery and at 89. Old phone would have been at 60 on gb and dead on ics. Looks like a lot of issues I had on the old one weren't normal. Like flickering led for flashlight and USB port disconnecting if I moved it just a little, also my proximity sensor didn't always work. So far I'm happier with this phone.

Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.

Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.

You should be fine, i start my day at 5am and still have 40% at 8pm.

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

An update, I did not want to drain fully to 0 but I got six hours and forty minutes of screen time yesterday and I think I could have hit seven if I drained fully.
