Hello, I recently rooted my phone and installed the omega rom. At first i was really impressed with the battery- it was like 1-2% in 8 hours. It was amazing, but now i have the same as stock(7-9%). I remember when i switched on the alarm clock then it started draining faster. I also installed a custom kernel(Siyah) but i dont think that is the problem. Can anyone help me with what the problem is and how can i get less battery drainage.
Thanks
Use betterbatterystats to finde culprit mate

I switched it on in STweaks, but still the battery drains(It show that the phone is constantly awake for a short period of time). And now there's a new problem with charging- the charging speed is fast until it reaches 50% and then it took 1 and a half hours to charge 20 % and now it's even slower.
Battery life is now like 10% in a day when not using it a lot.(couple calls and little bit of wifi)
I used some guy's power plan and disabled many apps and now i had 1% in 12h

my battery drops about 10% an hour in my pocket....
when i look at battery usage it say my screen caused 70+% of my draining.
How can my screen drain so much when its only been on less than 1 min....
downloaded different roms stock 2.1, stock 2.2, 2.2 superclean.
All drain extremely fast and my battery manager keeps on saying its my screen..
Its on automatic settings!!!!
do i need to calibrate my battery? thanks in advance.
edit*
could this be a wakelock?
When you reset batt stats, it just adjusts it so the percentage is "correct", it won't affect the drain
im almost positive its wakelock....do you know how i could fix that?
*edit*
looked up spare parts and it is not wakelock......i dont understand why my screen is eating so much battery while its not even on!
10% an hour just sleeping!!!!!!! 25-35% while surfing the web, this is lame.
Today I disabled the ambient light sensor and just went back to adjusting brightness manually. 13 hours after unplugging from the wall and I'm at 50 percent.
I also have auto rotation turned off.

turned auto rotation off and rebooted my phone a total of 3 times after installing my rom.
now after 2.5hrs im at 95%!!! The screen does not drain my battery anymore when sleeping....but if im using my screen my battery still depletes extremely fast. like 5% every 30min. still it will last me more than enough for 18hrs with moderate usage. problem solved, but don't know how. rebooting did the trick...

I'd pay good money for battery life like that. Mine is running superclean 2.92 and it'll die with screen on within 3 hours every time.
What ROM are you running? Radio version? kernel?

Battery in my pocket?

Check to see if your GPS is on, I'm using SC and voodoo kernel, was getting phenominal battery life until a couple days ago, phone wouldn't sleep. After banging my head against the wall for an hour or so it came to me that I had used google maps to see if it would lock my location and forgot to turn GPS off after. Shut GPS down and all is good now!
Hi,
X10 Mini Pro here - the battery only lasts about 16 hours without ANY activity on the phone (only 2G radio on, no calls, no using the display, nothing!). If I check partial wake usage I see Messaging is keeping the phone up the whole time (15 hours out of 16 hours). How do I solve this?
With normal use (calls/browsing/apps etc) it lasts less than 8 hours!
did u find solution pls tell me also same problem
for messaging go to cyanogenmod settings-preformance settings and disable lock messaging app in memory.
then set wifi to never sleep.
my battery life is arond 36 hour (ni data conection only if i recive mms, wifi around 1 hour per day, around 10 calls per day, around 30 sms per day, brightness around 65%,and auto kill apps)
I'm running stock latest 2.1. Messaging today is 8 hours lock wake out of 9 hours. Battery at 50% with NO use!
Did a backup, reinstalled everything through SEUS, then restored. Now back to normal. Just back from 8 hours of work and battery is only down 20%.
my phone gives a backup of more than 2 days......here is how...
for both stock and custom rom.....nd if u have root access....then u shud use SetCpu and Auto killer memory optimiser...set both of them to ondemand and optimum resp. and charge ur phone only when its <10% and avoid disconnecting it until its completely charged....this would improve ur battery backup and lso battery life.....significantly..see if dat works for u guys...
If you have flashed a rom, then you must fully charge the battery, immediately Wipe Battery Stats, then let it full drain and battery would be almost fixed. After full drain, fully charge it. When it says completed pull out battery and put it back and charge. You'll notice that battery level is ~84% even if you fully charge before. After full charge, pull battery out and do the same as mentioned before until you charge phone and battery level is always 100% or 99%.
That would make battery last longer.
And... If you have CM, undervolting saves very muuuuuuuuuuch battery and you should underclock when you are planning not to use phone for some hours... Of course freeing memory is essential, because you kill the apps which use your phone, as a result your battery too!
Good luck! ;-)

Nice im going to try some of the suggestions above
my battery also drains pretty fast!
My battery has horrible life. I'm rooted running evil fascination and have done all the things that typically help with battery life such as disabling gps and wifi, and lowering brightness. In fact my brightness is currently as low as it gets and my battery use shows my display as 99% of my current usage. Even though I just took my phone off the charger 15 minutes ago and it's already at 85%. I know my screen can't possibly have taken that much battery so fast. It also takes about 4 hours to charge from zero to 100 because it's draining so fast. Can anyone give me some advice? I downloaded an app that shows my current mah or whatever but I don't know what that means. I notice when it's at 270mah my battery drains fast which is most of the time but a few times it has been at 2 mah and it doesn't drain fast then.
sounds like a rogue app keeping your phone/screen running when off.. I had the same problem a while ago, 96% screen usage and taking 6 hours to charge then draining to zero in an hour and a half.. unfortunately the only thing that fixed it for me was a complete data/cache wipe and reflash of the rom, I think I was on superclean 2.9.2 at the time.. could be the battery being wonky also, you might wanna look into the battery calibration app on the market or wiping batt stats in CWR

Hi guys,
I have been noticing that for the past few days, my battery has been acting quite strange...
For example, after about 2 hours of the phone running (started at 100% fully charged battery), and sending 1 text, spending about 10 minutes web browsing, and 10 minutes playing a simple game - the rest of the time in sleep - I have 87% battery left... is that normal? And why is the battery dropping so fast and suddenly?
I have the "Microbes" live wallpaper on, and WiFi was connected the whole time.
I have just calibrated it with the "Battery Calibration" app, and I specifically tried calibrating to get rid of this problem... I'm so confused...
Live wallpapers and wifi on all the time are battery eaters.Also ive noticed that after a calibration the first charge drains quicker than normal.Wait a few charges and dont turn on anything you dont need.
So, should it get better after
a few more charges?

Just took the update and battery life dropped significantly. I was running stock rom, rooted, and kernel with CWM. I could use the phone quite a lot and it would last all day and still have 25%-30% left after being off the charger for 17 hours. I flashed the stock kernel and performed the update yesterday. I charged the phone all night. I was off work today so I didn't use the phone at all. After 15.5 hours, the low battery notification sounded. The battery meter showed I only had 11% remaining. The main culprit was the "Android OS" at 77%. Display, which is normally the main power drain, was only 6%. This shows how little the phone was used.
I believe its Entropy who has a thread that has really helped me. Could be a rouge app. Do you have better battery stats?
