Hello fellow members,
I'm having a slight problem here with my battery after flashing the new Elegancia ROM for ATT. I dont know what is causing this because I flashed the kernal too. I don't know if I flashed the kernal right. Can anyone confirm the kernal version for the ROM so i can match it with mine? But anyway, I saw people reporting 50+ percent while using it for hours. Mine is below 50 using it to browse the web for 30 min. Anyone?

Lol, really? You tell me you have 100% battery, use internet for 30min, then have 50% battery? If that holds any truth then I'd flash the stock Rom ruu and exchange device for another ASAP! That's called a bunk device, nothing to do with the Rom u flashed which in also using and getting amazing battery life on ATT.
If you're exaggerating here, try flashing the Rom again WITH wipe in aroma and see how it goes. Flashing the kernal provided by Steve is idiot proof, literally so I'm sure you flashed it just fine. If in doubt on this, simple:
1. Boot device into usb fastboot
2. Extract on computer and run the program to flash the kernal, see prompts on computer and should say successful or something to that effect basically showing it did something. Now reboot device and done. Simple

Okay I was exaggerating there. But I don't see how people are getting amazing battery life with that ROM and I'm here browsing XDA for 10 min and my battery goes down 10%

It is normal, that battery drains faster when actively using your phone. Also using 3G/HSPA Internet connection needs more power than WiFi. IS your phone getting hot/warm when using it like you said?
Other things you can try:
- Enable CPU Power Saver
- Turn off WiFi when not connected
- Try reducing your display brightness
- Look at your syncs, what apps do you really need to sync and how often?
- See if there are any apps abusing your cpu in the background.
I have the same issue.. battery drops pretty fast.. and i did flash the right kernel

My WiFi is always off when I'm not using it. Battery saver seems so power friendly, I'm afraid I won't get performance when I need it. And I have my screen brightness on half. Lastly, I have my apps on manual sync so they don't really sync unless I open the app. And I always kill my apps when I'm done using them

I have personally seen battery life to be aweful for the first few days after flashing any ROM. After sometime though, it improves...
Hmmmm, I'll keep that in mind. I'm gonna flash that kernal tho that was mentioned in the Elegancia thread towards the back. I'm camping right now so ill have to do it when I have a PC and internet connection available. Thanks for the input

I'm having the same issue. 4-5 times a day it'll just shut down and then take it's sweet time rebooting. Im rooted running stock 2.3.4 trying to upgrade to ICS which kind of tumbles into another issue. I'm trying to do the update to ICS via the OTA update and when it powers down it just boots into the Bootloader screen. My status for my bootloader shows <RELOCKED> followed by <SECURITY WARNING>.
If anyone could shed a little insight that'd be aces.
The random reboot issue seems to be battery related from what others have stated.

I can confirm this. I called t-mo and they basically told me that I'm SOL on a battery replacement. So, I got the Anker 2 pack on Amazon for 30 bucks, and I haven't had a reboot since.
Had the same issue. Called HTC tech support bypassing T-Mobile since I use a different carrier. HTC sent me a replacement battery.

same thing with mine. went through 2 amaze 4g's and 5 batteries in 2 months. I end up buying a new battery once every 2 weeks.
One thing i know that WILL kill my battery is if i plug it into the outlet on an amtrak train. Every time i exit the train, its dead. Learned that the hard way.
I also keep the rubber case that came with it off. It happens less and less that way. I think it's overheating, since it was very hot out each time.
Hello guys,
I've also about the same problem, My Amaze is Asian version with JuopunutBear S-OFF and ICS Speed Rom installed.
The problem with my phone is that while its charging or in use, it doesn't shut down, but when idle for some time with no music application running in background, it shut down.
then it doesn't turn on unless you pull the battery for a while and re insert it,
Can anyone plz tell me what's the issue, is it battery or some culprit application?
Thanks
I had the same issue on my phone. It was due to the kernel issue .I flashed super wipe once & flashed backup again . Now my battery is ok & I found no rendom shutdowns anymore . try this if it helps you.

which kernal you're using now??
I used to had the same issue. Tried updating Android using stock, changing the ROM to a custom one (CM, Energizer, etc.), changing the kernel. nothing seemed to help. In the meantime, I bought a battery from eBay. Took about 3,5 to 4 months to arrive (yeah, **** me, I'm from Argentina). I put it on and VOILÀ. Holy solution.
It is an Anker one, so it has more capacity also

well,I find where the problem is.The problem is nightmire kernel,The trouble disappear when you use stock sense 3.6,htc kernel.
So I might be trading my Gnex for an Amaze + cash, but my main concern is battery life. That, and learning a different process of flashing roms/radios, since I've only ever tinkered with Samsung/LG devices.
So my fellow members, what screen on time (best way to measure battery life I think) do you guys get? I get around 5 hours on my Gnex. Mention what rom/radio as well if you can.
Sent from someone's Galaxy Nexus running AOKP + Franco
Moderate use on stock, change a few settings, no unnecessary background programs, I get a decent 12-16 hours with moderate use, though to be honest, I text a lot, check my facebook, be on xda and stuff quite a bit. I set my screen timeout to 15s. So you gotta tweak it and mess with it a bit. Some custom roms have reported better life.
On speed Rom I get a full day with 40% to spare with a lot of browsing and playing games through the day, I'm sure you could get that with other roms as well. The amaze has no custom radio or kernel for ics at the moment
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
To be honest I've never measured/calculated my Screen On Battery Life. But total battery time for me is a good 12-16+ hrs.
Also its recommended, but not necessary, to S-Off your device. It makes flashing Roms much easier to flash. But if you don't want to perform that then use 4EXT Recovery and it can flash kernels without the use of fastboot to flash a kernel.
If the Amaze you get isn't updated to ICS then you're better off upgrading first before rooting and etc... Have Fun!

I am just stock ICS and generally get 9-11 hours. Screen is usually on 2 plus hours and do a lot of Internet, XDA, FB and the like. Actually use my phone for phone calls too.
Gingerbread was so much better for me, but used to it now.
That is with Juice Defender on as well.
I will say if not using the phone much, stand by time is phenomenal! I have gotten 24 hours on ICS, but I barely used the phone.

I installed ICS did a wipe as this is supposed to improve things but battery life is awful. I only get about 9hrs with moderate use, I took it of the charger at 6am this morning, Had to put it back on around lunchtime and now at 8pm its at 20% and this is with battery saving on.

Try RootBox with Dark Knight.. best combo for me.. you'll easily double your battery life
Another option is Slim ICS, very lightweight and battery friendly. Try some of the suggestions, each for a few days to allow for a couple of full battery cycles to take place. You can then make an informed decision about your daily ROM choice.

OK last night I let the phone go flat, removed the battery, put it back in and charged it when off. Phone has now just turned off flat.
Off charger at 9am this morning
Through out the day checked twitter a couple of times amounting to about 3 mins total.
Synced email 3 times.
Made a 2 min phone call
Used 3G for about 4 mins
Flashed back to GB via Odin.
Its now 6.30pm, phone turned off at 6pm, now today was actually very light use and I got 9 hrs before it died, On my old 4s with this type of use i'd still be at least 70% full.
...
A few tips and tricks Ive found....
- When you install a new ROM, go into recovery (Home, Vol Up, Pwr) Clear Data/ Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot.. In that order.
- When you first set up WiFi on your phone, Dont install Apps you dont use from Google Play, as these can run in the background.. using battery life.. Just because Google Recommend them for your phone, donesnt mean you have to install them.
- Dont be tempted to register every single email address you have to Social Hub.
- If your a "update over WiFi" person, set phone to "GSM only", instead of "WCDMA/GSM Auto", also turn off "Mobile Data" in Settings..
- If your not running twitter, email checks, updating weather all day, turn off "Account Sync" in Settings and set your email accounts to "Never" check for emails.
- Try switching to a different launcher. Touchwiz 4 is very resource intensive, try moving to Go Launcher or ADW or another one.. theres loads of advice on here and the webn about launchers, but for me Personnally, I like Go, but thats me.
2 Im not sure about, so some more in the know people here can advise please:
- In Settings > Display check ON, Auto Adjust Screen Power, but Im not convinced about "Auto Brightness, as I think it needs to constantly keep scanning the sensor, but I could be wrong.
- Turn Off "Motion" may also help with battery life.
Ive tended to go back to GB236, but the latest 404 boasts better battery life, so like everyone advises, you just have to test new ways.
Good Luck
that's what I usually get out of my S2.
I think my old battery must of been dodgy. I bought one of them Samsung extended 2000 mAh batteries and its been excellent. I've been playing with the phone all day, I took it of charger at 7am, its now 7pm and its 65% left, That could easily do another day with light to moderate use.
Obvious total noob here. I've read all the thunderbolt reference material here and have followed a couple of tutorials on how to root my thunderbolt, but I keep finding broken mirrors. I just keep finding dead ends. Can someone point me to a current root method for this device. My goal is to try the leaked ICS rom. Thanks.
The closest I got was with revolution.
It did see my device and I was on the last step but it seemed like my rom was not compatible. There was a nice video and followed all the steps.

Welcome to the rooted club! I just joined this week myself.
I hadn't seen the all in one tool but I think I'll snag it. Revolutionary worked great for me. The only thing I had to do was temp root since I was running the .19 ROM. It was smooth sailing after that.
I'm running SkyRaider 1.3 now. I'll probably flash to ICS next month after playing with SR for a bit.
What has SR been like for you?

So far I'm digging it. It's been considerably faster and seemingly more reliable than stock. The past two years have been hateful and I wish I would have rooted a long time ago.
I'm still trying to figure out what things have changed (like what new options I have and where to find some things) but it's been a fairly easy ride. I did have to flash twice to get it to work but now it seems to be solid.

Sounds like a battery. I typically charge overnight and I'm good from about 7-4. Then I charge on the 30 min drive home and I'm good until the nightly charge. I've never seen exceptional battery life even with JuiceDefender. Right now it's bad but not quite like yours. I was on a third-party battery, though. I just swapped to the HTC battery and I'll see how it is. I think I'm going to turn JD off as well to see how SkyRaider managers on its own.

This was typical for me.
I recommend turning off 4G. It's not really useful anyways unless you're trying to download something. Calibrate the battery also. Turn down your screen brightness and backlight timing. Also adjust how often accounts sync. Slow your CPU speeds.
You should be set after that.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Yeah, I only use 4G if I'm doing file transfers or tethering. I need to look at underclocking. How often do you sync? I have a number of accounts that I check every 15 min. I could probably increase that to 30.

Some of these are apps you can change within the apps settings, such as Facebook. I usually sign on before it syncs anyways.
Definitely checks your social apps and change the update intervals. It's basically the same thing.

I unplugged at 7:30 and it's almost 4pm now. On 3G with some forum browsing and regular email checking I'm at 38%. So if you were dropping to 14% I'd definitely try a new battery. This is with JuiceDefender disabled as well.

I finally hit 14% 12 hours after disconnecting from the AC charger. I guess that's not too bad.

You need to realize the stock battery is only 1450. So very small for a 4g phone. I have found juice defender only made my wallet lighter. You might want to look in to an aosp ROM as it gives you better battery life. I personally disable auto sync and turn off GPS. Also while I am at work I disable data as SMS and MMS doesn't come over mobile data part. In the end some people carries more than one battery on them if they won't be in a place they can charge.

Hello, all, since I've had my Note 2 I've been incredibly impressed with the battery live, much better than other droids I've owned. Within the last two weeks or so, however, I've seen a dramatic drop in battery life. Where I used to be able to last a day and a half without charging, The phone is now not capable of lasting through the day. There hasn't been any real change in my usage patterns, but I am constantly trying new apps, so I figured that one of the new ones must be the culprit. The stock battery stats indicated that Android System was consuming about 41 percent of the battery, which based on previous readings and having owned other droids seemed much too high. I downloaded Battery Stats Plus, which indicated hat the rogue app was wssyncmldm, consuming that same 41 percent. I wasn't familiar with this app, but google revealed that it manages ota updates? I tried rebooting the phone, and went back to Battery Stats Plus, which now indicated that same 41 percent, but named the app "Factory Test." I let the phone charge overnight to a full 100, then checking again today, I'm seeing similar numbers. Today Factory Test is listed at about 33 percent. Both apps are active in application manager, and reappear as soon as I force close them. Neither can be disabled on my stock, non-rooted note 2. I've not tried the factory reset just yet, was hoping to avoid that, but wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Thanks so much, all!!!

I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I'll do my best.
Let's start with the obvious things
1. Try uninstalling any apps that you recently installed
2. In application manager go under all and look for the "wssyncmldm" culprit. I don't have it in my application manager but I have one that is very close in name
3. Have you recently installed any OTAs?
4. Are you rooted by any chance?
5. When I updated to the 4.1.2 update, I had a similar battery issue. I just ended up backing up all my apps with "Helium" (No root required if you plug it into a pc with some directions) and just did a factory in settings. It fixed the battery issue for me, though I never looked into it to see if it was this same culprit.
I hope I can help in some way, I'll try my best though!

OK after running the latest faux kernel and adding grennify I'm back to 4.1.1 battery life... Thanks for giving me the push to flash the kernel.

PLASMA! Hell yeah! That's my go to kernel seeing as how I mainly run AOSP.
