My phone's battery is draining drastically. Immediately i start doing something with the phone, the battery starts draining heavily. The highest i can get is about 4 hours of use. I've considered buying the Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended
Battery for the Amaze 4G but i want to know if anyone can testify that the battery actually does what they promised. The phone is gradually driving me crazy. I've even tried different roms, no of them stopped the battery drain. I just need testimonies on this battery or any other 100% sure method that can work.. thanks!

From their website, but i need confirmation from people who have used it. I wonder what is really causing this battery drain. Is it the screen or what? I've even lowered my screen brightness. The phone uses same battery with the sensation but the sensation lasts much longer. I really need help! Something that works!

Even though the sensation battery does work on the amaze, it is smaller than stock amaze battery. Secondly, are you on the latest updated radio and base build? What ROM are you running? If you want decent battery life then try speedrom, miui (older version haven't tried the new one), sense 4 ROM and cm10 has decent battery life as well given you have the right settings enabled. If you keep your 4g data connection on all the time then you will end up with horrendous battery life on any ROM; good luck
Don't get mugen, go to eBay and get EC battery (1900mA). I got a package that included 2 EC branded batteries and a separate dock charger (basically you can charge one battery while using the other in phone) for only 16 bucks and battery life is way better than the stock on these cheap Chinese batteries (I get anywhere between 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on average and a total time of around 16-17 hours with that kind of usage which is amazing and I have been using these batteries for about 6 months)

thanks for your help.. before i proceed, let me explain exactly how the battery drain happens....
when i charge it up to 100%, immediately i unplug it and leave it for 5 minutes without use, it goes down to 96%, and soon goes down to 89% within another few minutes and continues that way.. when am using the phone, the battery drain is even worse. what do you think? should i still proceed with your method?

Ok, this is my first all-in-one thread. Please bare with me on this one. I'll try keep it updated often to keep the info fresh.
I know everyone is getting a mixed bag of results with the stock battery performance. In time with enough information gathered, I'll compile the average results into this thread to make it easy for everyone. So instead of looking through 100's of posts, people can read about it here.
Also, anyone who are willing to participate and contribute to this, that would be appreciated.
For best results, complete recharge and discharge cycles are needed to be done for accurate results on your end, along with wiped battery stats.
I'll post my results first.
Rom: Stock TMO 1.43.531.3 (2.3.4)

Battery: Stock
Average Run time 100% to 0%: About 9-10 Hrs on moderate usage.

I've been reading about the Anker 1900mah batteries. Majority of people here recommend those as a current solution. I'm planning on getting a pair of those soon.
Reserved, just in case...
This thread might suite my observations…
Many users were complaining about the quick battery drainage. So last night I decided to monitor the applications activities during the phone idle status. I launched a dozen commonly used apps and left the smartphone to overnight having all them in background.
During seven hours of idle time - 50% of battery charge disappeared. BUT I caught the guilty one. It turned out to be the Google Translate. Whilst left running in background, it’s loading CPU for about 60% and draining the charge. Thereby it may be used but MUST be killed when no needed anymore.
Apart of that I may add that I am very pleased with my battery life for the past three days - after I flashed the fabulous leak, and then uninstalled near 50 apk’s of the thoroughfine crap, and cleared the dalvik-cash. I deem it simply doubled from the time of GB period of life.
HELP Poor Battery Life on Android Revolution 2.2.1
Okay, here's what I've done to the phone since stock:
Root
S-Off using wire trick
Super CID
Flashed 4 EXT Touch Recovery
Ran SuperWipe script provided by Mike1986 for Android Revolution 2.2.1
Updated firmware package provided by Mike1986 for Android Revolution 2.2.1
Flashed Android Revolution 2.2.1
Flashed radio recommended by Mike1986
Wiped battery stats and cycled through two times
Still poor battery life
Checked radio md5 Sum and tried to reflash (got "remote not allowed error in fastboot)
Reflashed ROM
Still can't flash in fastboot, still apalling battery life
It LOOKS like the culprit is my mobile network signal, which is one big yellow line, as if I'm on a 24/7 phone call. Can't find any answers on the ARHD thread, and Google has failed me. ANYBODY?! I LOVE Mike1986's ROMs, but the battery life on this one is killing me.

Just out of curiosity, wasn't it already proven that wiping battery stats does nothing? Just saying, I think a google engineer on xda confirmed this.

I used to switch mine to GSM mode only to save battery, and then switch back to 4g when I was in good coverage or needed high speed Internet. I found that increased my battery life (I theorize because the device is not "hunting" between 3 and 2 G). There are apps that will take you to the exact setting to change it. Just a thought.
Here is what mine looks like right now. @ 81%. Few phone calls less than 10 min total, about 50 text messages, and about 5 min of web browsing. The rest of the time the phone was not being used. This is with JD disabled.

Thanks for the suggestions. I gave it a try, but I'm just on the first cycle through the battery so we'll see. BUT (and I'll attach a pic) my mobile network signal bar in the battery usage is still a constant yellow. I've never seen this before.
Also, I still don't have the ability to flash a .img in fastboot, although I've definitely done it before, on this particular ROM even. I try to reflash the radio and get this:
sending 'radio' (21997 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
This probably belongs in the Dev section, but I'm not privileged enough to post there yet
Hmm, seems like the battery issue might be connected to the mobile signal being up all the time. I too have never seen that before.

i have evo 3d with stock 4.0.3... my mobile wifi and data always enable... that my my battery work just for 4 hours or maimun 5 hours i always need to put my mobile on charging...
is there any kernel .... that have less battery drain....
if u gays know please paste the link
thanks in advance...
gays?
Maybe a bad flash, or you have to let the rom settle.
Can you tell me what exactly is draining your battery? (settings > battery)
There is some forbidden kernel somewhere which may do some good. But i advice you to flash another rom, stock rom sucks.
Are you in a low signal area? My battery life is horrendous when I am. Also what is your screen on time? Four to five hours of screen on time would be excellent.
I am using the same stock rom,but I always keep the wifi and mobile network off. I usually turn them on when I really need them. I DON'T think rom change could solve your problem if you always keep wifi on. My advice, you might try it.

you supposed to say guys right? haha ,i use miui always lasts 48 hours on newest official version
kernel makes all the difference on battery drain, i would suggest you try a completely stock rom and judge the drain over a couple of days
Battery drain is always going to vary from rom to rom and user, everyone uses different apps, sync times etc, so saying that your best bet is to flash different roms with different kernels and test which combination works for you
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
i need something as well. i get about 8 hrs during normal use and minimal 3g usage.
yeah are you roaming alot? how old is your battery? how much are you actually using it? i could see if your on it the whole 4hrs then it would die. if your gonna root ive had incredible battery life with the meanROM v45.
what is the best battery replacement for e3d?
i'm on mikvirgin 1.01.
hardware 0002
stock htc kernel
been seeing a ton of new battery drain since installing the latest swype.
so, i guess my point is: what was the last thing you remember installing since you noticed battery drain.
i know, i know...you hear this all over xda.
but, it's for a reason.
ply a little practicality and solutions just show themselves!
my battery life is pretty good . i do alot of data streaming w subsonic and pandora ect too.
i'm usin paranoid android 2.52, w 3.0.6poonkang that it comes with i believe. im gonna run it up and down a few times and see what kind life i get w this rom, i'm coming from elegancia!, which was a great rom too. def worth the flash! ill report bat stats soon!
My phone needs everey ~8 hours a charge but mobile data and 3G is always on (Custom Firmware).
Think about a battery replacement.
Have you thought about using software in addition? I've had good luck using Juice Defender on my 3D
WTH?!I am using speed rom 8, stock kernel, and my battery jumps around like crazy, has anyone else had had his issue? I think its probably a bad battery. Sometime it falls off insanely quick and at the low end it just dies around 20% or so then I reboot and it up around 30...any ideas?

This has happend to me even on stock. It's purely a battery issue, I went hiking and my phone got slightly moist, and the warranty sticker on the battery went red. See if you have one on your battery, I took mine to my carrier and told me its was covered under HTC's warranty.
This happened to me on stock but tmobile sent me a new phone for $5 and that resolved my issue.
When I was using speed ROM I noticed the same thing with my battery. I don't remember how it was with stock so I can't comment there.
But I have attached a picture of my ROM battery life now that I've switched to the fusion ROM and so far it seems better.
The only thing I can see from the graph you've posted is that your screen was on slightly longer than mine, but that's no reason for such terrible battery.
Might be the ROM and I hate to suggest it, but you might be better of if you try another ROM.

it's always best to calibrate battery anytime you install a rom or even updating a rom use a app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
& also you should use faux kernel the aroma version as you can tweak to save maga battery & with his new apk form the market this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50ZWFta2FuZy5mYXV4Y2xvY2siXQ..

Here what I did which seems to have resolved the issue for me:
1) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe
2) Flashed the stock ICS RUU (I used the R2 variant)
3) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe again
4) Flashed SpeedRom 8
5) Did NOT turn on Google Now - It's a battery hog but was not related to the stability issues.
Now i'm running SpeedRom 8 and it's perfectly stable with great battey life. Only thing I've noticed is I seem to not be able to run Wi-Fi and Blutooth at the same time. Wi-Fi will drop out within 10 - 20 minutes if I do. Can't get it back unless I turn of BT and turn off Wi-FI and turn it back on. Weird but livable.
Hi Everyone,
I am still hanging on to my Rezound even though it sux. I am not sure what is going on but every ROM I flash i am getting crappy battery life. I have an extended battery and it only lasts about 5-7 hours. Sometimes only 3-4 hours!
I have tried my battery in another Rezound and it works fine. I have followed the steps to flash my ROM cleanly. I have also not downloaded any apps, I have only been using what comes with the ROMS. Lastly, I have made sure wifi and BT are off, and even dimming my screen.
What else can I do besides smash my Rezound with a mallet. I hate this phone right now. Should I flash a new radio, were is the best place to get them from?
I have used alot of Neo's ROMs and curretnly running Nils Business Sense. I really like using stable ROMs with the camera working!
Thanks...

1.) have you tried my downgrade/upgrade guide in the q&a section....doing every single one has helped my developer rez from overheating and battery drain 2.) does the rez actually get pretty hot

Thanks for the information. I will follow that guide and see how my Rez works afterwards. I think I may have a custom hboot so I will need to look into this before I start.
My phone does get hot but not very often. Most of the time I just noticed the crappy battery life (with extended battery).
Thanks again...

I've heard varying reports of how long peoples' batteries last, anywhere from 9 hours to 3 days. But what seems to be the common theme is that if you use your phone pretty frequently, you'll get maybe 10 hrs, but if you use the phone sporadically and not for long periods of time, you can expect the phone to last through the day and even maybe the next. But with mine I've found that the battery on average will last me maybe 10 hours, but that's with slight to almost no use. From what people have said online, the screen is what sucks up battery, but when I check with GSam Battery Monitor, my screen never seems to break 30% of my battery use. Apps are what usually take up ~45% of my battery. What's up with this? I don't wanna have to buy that stupid Mugen case, because it apparently sucks, but there are literally no other options to extend my battery... any advice? Will post screenshots. Thanks!
GSam screenshots
Also, as you can see, the individual app %'s don't add up to the huge number that Apps is taking up... is that related/significant?

It looks normal to me. Usually the people that are saying they get good battery life are the ones that are on a custom Rom and a custom kernel. From my findings the stock Rom especially with the net updates battery life seems to be worse with each update. One really good combination I have run that yields amazing battery life is CM11 and crpalmers kernel. That combination will give amazing battery life. It also depends on what you use your phone for. Judging by your screen shots thing look pretty normal. I would try giving battery guru a go in the market of you want to get some more juice. Let it learn your habits and it will help with you battery life.
You also have to remember as the device ages and you recharge the battery you can't expect it to remain fantastic like the first day you got it. Like anything else they wear down over time and can only go through so many charging cycles.
Or it may just be your battery starting to go bad. Its hard to pin point what may be wrong. It may be as simple as a rogue app. Try some of the suggestions I mentioned above and post back to let us know how your doing. If your not rubbing a custom Rom I recommend switching to one. They are packed with features and the battery life is generally better.
Anyways good luck. Post back if you have any more questions.

100% agree. Especially with the updates leading to worse battery life.
I recently switched to the DNA from an S4. Unlocked and S off'd. Flashed 4.4.2 Rom and immediately noticed how awful battery was in comparison to my Samsung. I actually flashed an older jellybean Rom with Sense 4+ and now I'm experiencing battery life as good as my S4, even though the S4 has a larger battery and newer hardware.

Thanks for the info guys i'll keep that stuff in mind. I've tried several times to S-Off and flash a custom ROM but every time I try, firewater or rumrunner or whatever im using that time always says 'connection failed.' I've been unable to find any fix for why it's failing, so i've kind of given up. Any chance you guys can link to any super simple instructions?
Like I honestly don't understand temproot and those things. thanks!

In general there is a thread titled "am I too late to root" where I tried to explain the process to another poster the best I can.
couldn't hurt to give it a read. Maybe it will help you.

Getting a little stuck... Did the Weaksauce part, and downloaded the firewater file... what do I do now? I copied firewater to my SD card, what command window do I use? I really don't get exactly what to do...

I really don't know how to explain it any better than I did in that thread. On page 2, I wrote a complete step by step..the file goes into your sdk folder and then you run the command while in fast boot..I posted links and all in that thread. I don't know how to help further.
