Any ideas???? should i just leave it charging until i get home and put in my brothers battery? i want to flash it back to odin again my battery is at 23%.

That's not at ALL helpful, but I digress......
I would try another battery if you have have that option. If that doesn't work, I'd Odin stock rooted and perhaps try the ROM without the supercharger and see how that goes. Make sure to follow the flashing instructions completely!

Wow. Never seen that rude of a comment on this forum. This may be true but this forum is for people that enjoy technology and love tinkering with it, not for people that use or should be using iphones. There's a seperate section for those sheep.

Thread cleaned,
Rooting is what is done around here (in most cases). Running stock is not a typical solution for development threads.
Let's be helpful with substantive answers and not editorial or opinion.

Thanks so much for cleaning this up. There is NO call for that on a development community. We are here to help, not be snarky. Thanks again.
OP, did you get your issue resolved?

ROM Questions

My dad just got the Froyo OTA on his fascinate, and the battery has been running dry in less than 3 hours without use, where on 2.1, he lasted all day with over half battery remaining.
I was looking into rooting his phone (I have my Inc rooted already) to get new ROMs/kernels to improve speed/battery.
If anyone could link me to an easy guide to root the fascinate, and suggest new ROMS/kernels that would give me better battery, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks guys!
I would suggest reading through the stickies. All of the info you're looking for is in there.
I personally use both ComRom and Evil Fascination and both have pretty decent battery life.
Also FYI: this post is in the wrong section. There's a Q&A board for this stuff.
This should be in Q& A, but I had good luck with compromise 2.0 and a corresponding kernel.

If the official ota is burning through battery like that, then he needs to take it in. There's something wrong with the unit.

That is not always the case, do a factory reset first, he may have had a app installed that worked just fine in 2.1 but may have a update for 2.2 because the original app may have issues with 2.2 like battery drain.
But always always always, either remove apps or do a factory reset before even considering taking your phone in to be replaced.
where do I go to flash esn? the 3G symbol still shows up on his phone, and seems to be working...how can I tell?
*EDIT* though to be honest, rooting, based on my own experience, is completely worth it if only for the ability to back up the phone lol
Look at the time without signal. Unless I put the phone in airplane mode for a few seconds after I reboot, I have a time without signal of around 50%. This is killer on the battery

As far as rooting and roming, use Odin to flash CWM, then boot directly into CWM, then flash custom rom of choice (i like com rom, but also hear good things about evil fascinate). That's about as easy as it gets, imo
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
so if this is the case, you'd recommend turning airplane mode on for a few seconds after booting?
Yes. Wait for media scanner to do its thing, then turn on airplane mode, wait about 5 to 10 seconds, then turn airplane mode off. You should see time without signal drop.
Edit: to view time without signal, go into settings - about phone - battery use - cell standby in case you didn't know

There are so many ways to go about rooting the fascinate. Odin is the simplest. If you Odin your phone with CWM you can go anywhere from here. Use this Odin package for CWM.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5 Brought to you by times_infinity.
Then download and install the ComROM with the undervolted PBJ kernel in CWM if you are going for battery life.

Ok, so would I follow the sticky in the Q&A section that tells how to get to/from stock with Odin, and then use that file? Or is there a better guide on using Odin?
Does the ComROM come with the PBJ kernel or should I just search that on here?
Sorry for all the basic questions, all of this stuff is waaay different than hitting "start" in Unrevoked and then just hitting "install zip from SD" in CWM lol
There are 3 versions on Com Rom, and the only differences are the kernels. One has no kernel, one has OTB (that's what I am currently running, and am getting stellar battery, with no undervolting), and one that has PBJ.
I assume you would just use that sticky in Q&A, as it is the only sticky in there. I have never looked at it, so I don't want to tell you one way or the other.

cool..thanks for everything!
While I still want to root, just to tinker with the phone and backup just in case, after a battery pull & wait one minute last night before charging, the phone now has over 80% battery after a full work day, so it seems to have worked.
Thanks for your help guys, I'll probably be back to ask some more questions (in the right section) in the future!

Which rom for battery life?

I own a Droid 3 but my dad has the x2 and he needs better battery life so I plan on rooting the phone and putting a custom rom on it for him so I wanted to know which rom would be best for him. He uses e mail phone calls and texts a lot and sometimes YouTube videos. If someone could post links for the best suited rom for him along with any scripts that help performance as well as battery that would be great. Also, do I need to install a custom recovery from somewhere else or do I use cwm from rom manager?

Here is everything you need for this phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313103
Any rom will essentially have better battery life since they are all pretty much stripped down versions of the stock ROM. I suggest eclipse. The speedy script and battery fix script are very highly recommended too.
EDIT: Rom Manager doesnt really work with the Droid X2. So you will need the Bootstrap Recovery in the link I posted.

Thanks, there's a lot of scripts, which would u recommend flashing over the eclipse rom?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
The battery fix is a must if you want accurate reading. I am running eclipse 1.3 with speedy v7. Also v6 supercharger but that is more for my gaming. And also the mash up v .5 I am getting between 10-14 hrs on a charge and that is pretty heavy use. On my day off I can go between 8 and 10 hrs but that is very heavy use then. Oh ya make sure you wipe battery stats when you flash or calibrate it after.
All are safe to use, which is why they were put in that thread. Just read every threads OP before flashing since they usually have instructions to wipe certain things. And I believe the mash up script tells you to turn wifi off before flashing. Just read and you will be good.

+1 thanks I should of mentioned that.
Ive had my best battery life with Eclipse. Ive been pulling 20+ hours with moderate use. Mostly texting, checking some web pages and trolling XDA and Facebook.
Ive also seen an increase from turning off network provided time under date/time in settings.

I can vouch for the turning off of "network provided time"if settings. It seems the phone "sleeps" better when it is idle.
Also another way to ensure better battery life is by getting into the habit of REBOOTING the phone(power off/on) after EVERY TIME you take it off of the charger. There is a thread explaining why this helps ...I just don't feel like looking for it right now sorry lol

I think its a problem with stock GB (seems to be a few issues with stock). But it transfers over to the ROMs because there is no fix for it yet other than to restart.

MIUI Issue

I tend to try to answer my own questions by reading all the threads around here, but I have actually got an issue that I don't know if anyone else has really run into yet on MIUI on the x2.
Haven't had any problems and have had good battery life so far on MIUI. Today, though, I had the battery fully charged this morning and it was nearly empty by the end of the day (I usually get 2 days on a charge using my phone sparingly). I didn't think much of it and didn't use my phone for a couple hours then went back to it and it was dead.
Now, the phone will not boot past the Motorola dual core screen. I am likely going to simply SBF then go back to either MIUI or CM7 but I was curious if anyone had any ideas on what this might be related to so I can avoid it again later on.
Thanks
Edit: Realized after posting this it might be better suited in the Q&A, my bad!
What does battery usage say? Anything out if the ordinary?
Have you gotten it to boot yet?

Ash has stated that this is a wake-lock issue from some app or service. I explained this in another thread, probably the MIUI thread in the development forum. But, it is a known issue.
He's currently working on fixing a lot of other issues. Per his twitter, he's ran into a road block concerning audio flinger.

it shows the Android OS as taking up over 90% of the battery in there. I haven't ever really gotten too into the battery monitoring business. I've gotten good battery life out of the phone doing what I've been doing so this is uncharacteristic at this point.
I was able to SBF without an issue. So I am back up and running.

[Q] Battery problem on Omega v47 rom

Hello to all,
after having a stock i9300 for 11 months (I never kept stock for such a long period of time) I decide to install a custom rom.
After reading a lot I noticed that the most popular rom for the S3 i9300 is the omega so I followed that route.
I intalled the latest 4.1.2 version yesterday and today I was surprised to noticed that the battery lasted less than 14 hours.
I did a clean installation wiping cache/delvik etc.
This performance is horrible compared to stock.
I could easily make a whole day regardless of usage.
1. Are all roms as bad?
2. Will a possible change of the kernel provide a solution is so which one?
Other than that the rom looks great with some added features from the 4.2.2 which look great and fresh.
But I can not accept the phone not easily go through a day.
I also noticed some issues with Skype (not the latest version as this did not work well even on stock).
thank you
p.s. I could not post to the omega rom due to the fact I am new here......

2. Will a possible change of the kernel provide a solution is so which one?
>> You can try what you want .
Suggest you wipe the phone return to stock rom and read the faqs and guides before flashing any rom .

You are being judgmental.
I spend several days reading the forum and educating myself.
I did read in the omega topic that some people experience battery problems.
Some of them reported that a different kernel provides better battery life.
I did not notice though that after flashing a rom you need several cycles for the battery to be calibrated.
Furthermore, in most roms I read about there are several people (not all) complaining about battery life.
This is why I asked if all custom roms increase performance while decreasing the battery life.

There is no known treatment or cure !
After several days I noticed that the battery life is a bit better but nowhere near to the previous performance.
How long does it take to re calibrate itself?

I also used Omega once but the battery life was just like yours.
Try doing the following:
1. Download greenify, understand how it works and greenify your apps.
2. Install startup manager, disable useless apps.
3. Disable wifi settings such as "notify me for new networks". Also, while in sleep mode, make sure the option is set to never.
4. Put auto brightness on.
5. Disable sync.
You can go ahead and install a different kernel. Googy or Devil or siyah would be a great choise.
All of these should improve your battery life.
Thank you for your reply.
Out of curiosity why does this rom consumes more power since it does not over clock the cpu?

They are many factors that affecting your battery life.Everyone have different angle viewing things. So depend on them what a good battery life mean to them. You can try other rom though. I'm using foxhound 2.5 with googy max kernel. It bring a good perfomance for me. And you can try to buy a 3200mah battery for your S3 with original size xD It can last more longer. And try the comment above it should improve the battery alot.
well I always try not to leave wifi on when not in use and do not run programs that use battery resources. I do never use mobile data and gps is always off. I did install greenify but there was really nothing running on the background.
Still I am under the impression that the stock rom provides signifficantly better battery life.
So my question is why? (Only out of curiosity).

[Q] What's up with my battery?

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?

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.
