My latest test: JBX kernel, AOKP rom, and Gapps - Motorola Droid RAZR

This is a fresh flash and install which I assumed would save battery life. Either my battery is extremely retarded or something in the combination isn't correct. After unplugging from my charger, I instantly lose 5% and can watch it count down. The stock rom lasts well over 6 hours with constant use.

I'm using a similar setup (jbx+pacrom+gapps) make sure you reset the settings in trickster mod if you had that installed before it makes a difference. and make sure your init.d folder is empty. just a bunch of things that could throw the kernel off and make it chug battery. other then that I wouldn't know works wonderfully for me :/
also thinking more that happened to me on a fresh fresh install as well unless it counts all the way down to zero very fast it may just be android not knowing your battery yet. (tho i may be wrong on that but my battery doesnt hold a full charge anymore and it drops rather quickly at first unplug)

HOW TO: Solve Battery Life Issues

***NOTICE***
The ROM Manager version of CWM does NOT wipe battery stats properly, as with many other things. What you need is jt1134's version of CWM that is all happy and works and stuff.
You can find his happy CWM here. And here. And also here.
And here.
Big thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the heads up on that.
***END NOTICE***
NOTE: On current DL30 and EB01 ROMs, you will not see battery life like you did on DL09 with undervolted kernels. There are NO undervolted kernels as of yet, everything kernel wise with Froyo ROMs in very much stock. These steps will improve your battery life in comparison to when you flashed Froyo, but you are not going to see spectacular changes in battery life up to what you were getting with undervolted DL09, etc. It's just not possible until we get undervolted kernels and Froyo matures for our device, development wise.
Hi everyone, I've been seeing a lot of threads about bad battery life, whether switching to Kaoscinate, Vanilla, or DL30. Stop it! Just kidding. There is a simple process everyone should follow when switching between different enough ROMs, like AOSP, CM6 and TW Eclair and Froyo. This is how you retrain your battery.
1. Charge your battery to 100% (when it gets there, let it SIT there, your phone is NOT reporting correctly).
2. Reboot to Recovery and Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats.
3. Reboot, and use your phone until it is VERY low (5-10%, you can let it die if you want).
4. Charge your phone back to 100%
5. (Optional) Power down, then power on phone. (Thanks goes to BrwnSuperman for this suggestion, give it a try!)
Your battery issues should be solved. This needs to be done every once in a while, especially when switching between different ROMs and OS versions.
User dalrym05 posted this alternate method for retraining the battery on page 4 as well, so I thought I would share it here in the OP. I'm posting this as a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK method, as I have not tested it, and am not quite sure what the *228 steps for it actually accomplish and have to do with retraining the OS battery reporting, so I'm leaving it quoted to dalrym05 for the time being.
dalrym05 said:
Here were my steps to better battery.
1.*228 option 1
2.*228 option 2
3. Run battery completely dead to 0%
4. Plug in and boot immediately into cwm
5. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache
6. Reboot and let charge fully before unplugging
7. Completely discharge again and fully charge again.
After this you should notice a very nice increase in battery as I did. My battery life is back up to par with eclair.

HybridByNature had an excellent suggestion on page 4. If people have good tips and tricks for maintaining good battery life, and they are easily reproducible, then I will gladly add them to the OP here. What works for you?
HybridByNature said:
This might also be a good place to add tips & tricks to extending battery life.
IE
-Close programs that you aren't using.
-Don't leave your camera or navigation running in the background.
-Turn off WiFi & GPS etc when you aren't using them.
-Don't run your screen at full brightness if you can help it.
-Figure out what uses more battery life than other things:
Pandora, internet browsing, downloading, camera/camcorder, Angry Birds etc.
If you are rooted, try and narrow it down to the best kernel/theme for your situation. I've found that I have better battery with a non-voodoo kernel but the performance increase is worth it so that's a trade-off that I make.
Let's hear from our readers: What is working for you?

Would not surprise me if this is all it is. I have turned my phone off at 5% for an hour and turned it back on without charging and then it showed 45%. I know when batteries are low letting them sit a little bit can help, but not that much.
It is just being reported inaccurately by the OS.

Yes, but not as a thread, it gets posted in everyone else's "Why does my battery life suck ass" threads, so I made this so maybe people would see it and try it before posting another useless question thread in Development.
Definitely works though. Did it yesterday. Good post. It has been posted in other threads ... but I think we all know people don't read through everything very often.

I have the battery charger and 3 batteries, I always run my battery low and leave it in the charger for a day.
I did this last night and it didn't work too well for me.
Also, when I go to wipe battery stats in the recovery, it doesn't tell me if it wiped or not, just goes back to the advanced menu.
And also, should I be concerned that when I cold boot into the recovery, it doesn't appear to be CWM? It says Android recovery...I know I have CWM recovery installed.

Wow same here..I just took mine off the charger bout 10 minutes ago and it's at 95% now. I guess I'm gonna let the battery run completely dead and charge it and see what happens.
I did something similar. I charged to 100% while it was on, removed from charger then powered off. When phone was off I plugged charger back in and waited til it was at 100% then unplugged again and powered on. Waited until phone was completely on then unplugged again and connected to charger. Waited til it was at 100% and while still plugged in at 100% booted into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then rebooted phone into OS and unplugged. I had tried this previously with DL09 and it helped a little. Last night I wanted to see how my battery would drain after doing this. With WiFi on and I got about 10 emails during the night, from 8:30pm to 6:00am I lost only 13%!!! Previously I would have lost from 35 to 40%. ymmv

This is a proven technique, and it takes patience. Seeing the battery drop from 100% down to 95 or 96% after unplugging is normal behavior. I've done this already. Left my phone unplugged overnight and lost 1% battery. If you're too impatient to take the time to do this, that's your loss. You'll see the battery life "improve" over the course of a few days as the reporting gets more and more accurate.
Sent from my Fascinate using the XDA app
I agree with supplysidejesus. This is a standard practice and should be done with each major rom or kernel install. This leak hasn't been put long enough for most of us to know what our expected battery life will be yet. Give it a few days for your phones to adjust.

[Q] BAMF remix 1.7 Slow and Bad Battery Life

So I just installed BAMF remix 1.7 on my newly rooted TB and it seemed slow with bad battery life. This seems to be atypical so I was wondering if anyone could help me out figuring out my problem.
I downloaded the rom and flashed it from rom manager, selecting to clear the cache and dalvic cache. The install went fine and I restored my user apps from titanium backup. While it was going through and installing all of these apps, super user force closed a couple of times. Then there were some applications that kept force closing like handcent, flexT9, and Swift keyboard X, but uninstalling and reinstalling them seemed to fix the problems. I then reset the battery statistics from cwm.
I set up the accounts and sync like I had before and in fact had less accounts syncing since I was only syncing facebook and not facebook and the htc sense facebook both. I didn't change the kernal but set the governor to power save after I started noticing the battery running out quick.
When I was on stock running adw or go launcher, I would get about 15 hours from a full charge on 4G. Today after a full charge I got about 6.5 hours on a full charge.
Should I have done a factory reset in there? Is there a different kernal I should try? Should I try to flash the rom again without using rom manager?
You should definitely wipe all data before flashing any custom ROM. Many people have also had a lot of issues flashing with Rom Manager, including myself. DL the ROM from the developers page, place it on the root of your SD card (not in a folder), rename it to "update.zip" with a file manager, then use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvic then apply update from SD card. If you don't have a file manager on your phone, rename it on your PC then move to the card. You should be good after that.
You need to wipe data when coming from a different rom.
Have you tried use Imoseyon battery saver or extreme kernel? It does gives great battery life if you find sweet spot on your TB.
PS. You must wipe everything if you are coming from another ROM.
I have the same issue as OP. I have wiped dalvik/cache/data. I did factory reset and I am running the BAMF 1.7 remix with Adrenalyn's Kernel and the new radio that's provided in the rom. I've read that this rom and kernel are good with battery life but mine drains at a very fast rate 1% about 3 mins. I don't have any data sucking apps. GPS is always off and Im on 3G using AUTO(PRL).
Any suggestions?
bumping the thread
i had slow and no responsive with the screen it was pissing me off so i updated to gingerbread and it works like it should now. No 4 second lag and no anger
you should def do a full wipe before installating a new rom.
Battery life on 1.7 sucked for me too until I did a battery calibration, which I'd recommend doing after flashing a new rom.
- charge to 100% (turn phone off, wait till light turns green)
- boot into recovery, wipe battery stats
- reboot phone, unplug, wait till battery totally drains before plugging in again
I also went into the bamf toolkit and set the min to 245 and max to 1.024 w governor 'smartass'.
Since I did that the batt life has been much better, good luck.

thanks, I'm going to try redoing the install and this battery calibration. I'm actually trying to decide on whether to keep 1.7 remix or go stripped.
So I think my slowness was from putting the governor to power saver. It runs much better with smartass. I basically understand what the other governor settings do, but what does smartass do?

charged it to full last night, and with very light use it's at 27% after 4 and a half hours. I think I'd get to almost 6 hours if I let it run down.
That's some improvement but I think it may have more to do with not playing plants vs zombies any this time. The battery now gets fairly hot when playing PvZ when it didn't before.
I'm not sure what the problem is but I cannot live with only getting 4-6 hours of life out of a phone. I think I'm going to have to try a non-bamf rom.
I got around 14-16 hours on that ROM. What kernel/radio are u running? I also kept WiFi and Gps off when I wasn't using it. I also had min/max at 245/1.402.

I'm running 4G and keep wifi and gps off too along with the brightness being around 20. when I was non-rooted I got about 14-16 also (counting 7 hours of idle at night) I have my settings set to the same as before I was rooted. I'm running whatever kernal/radio came with sripped bamf 1.7. I had applied the MR1 update OTA unrooted when it came out but otherwise haven't changed anything regarding kernal or radio.

it shows the display at about 40-50%, 20 for car home screen (I have it on and streaming music during my 25 minute right to work, seems high but it's not on any more than that and the drain is still pretty constant). For instance, I charged it up to about 29% and it drained to zero and shut down while I was at lunch over about an hour an a half.
Looking at my currant widget log. I started at 29% at 11:43 then dropped 1% of battery every 2-3 minutes or so (while idle in my pocket) then it hit 8% at 1:03pm and stayed there till 1:08 at which point it shut down.
Just to add my $.02 ... I'm running BAMF 1.7. I don't mess with kernel settings or anything like that, just whatever comes with the non-remix 1.7 ROM.
Prior to last week, I was getting a good 15 hours on my stock battery (light - moderate usage), but something changed last week and I am getting pretty poor battery life now, like 6 - 8 hours.
I posted a reply over on a forum at Android Central but I haven't seen any definitive cause yet. Our theory is that an application update might be causing an issue. I was searching over here to see if anyone was having similar issues.
I'm getting much better battery life now. Got about 24 hours on 4G the whole time. I think it might have been because I was signed on to trillian but I still need to test. It's odd because before rooting I got 14-15 hours of 4G and I'm pretty sure I was signed on trillian then too.

ICS Passion v11 battery life is horrible for me

I was running bionix from before I decided to switch. I flashed back to stock via Odin and flashed to ICS Passion v11. It's an excellent ROM but my battery life is abysmal. Just texting for 5 mins drains it about 8%. I have to charge my phone 3x a day in order to keep it alive. Really like this rom so does anyone have suggestions on what to tweak or disable to fix this?

Yeah same for me.. I had to buy the Samsung Galaxy Epic 4g 1800mAh battery.. It solved my problem. You can get one on amazon for like 20 bucks. It's totally worth it. For some reason the 1500mAh battery gets random drains on this ROM
It's not just this ROM. I have noticed it on all the ICS Roms. Some of the apps are not configured properly for ICS yet, thus the battery drain. When you re-install your apps using Titanium Backup try not restoring data.
Bump for possible solutions. The new battery is a good idea. I hear so many people claiming battery life is superb and mine is far from it. I never restored apps with titanium backup either. Everything was clean slate
When I was running ics, i had a few times where my phone would not deep sleep. I just reinstalled and it seemed to correct it.

When I first installed Passion V11 my first full charge only got me about 8 hours of use. I installed BetterbatteryStats and CPU Spy, and Battery Monitor Widget. I looked at the logs and saw that Beautiful Widgets was causing alarms and kernel wakelocks almost non-stop. After identifying the problem app and uninstalling it, my phone still has 70% battery with 24 hours of use.
You guys just need an 1800 mAH battery. The thing can last me a day and a half with no charge (assuming I put it in airplane mode at night). You can find it for $10-20 on Amazon or eBay.
To get best battery life all you need to do is "Charge Cycles"
For ICS Passion v8,
Charge Cycle means completely charging your phone too 100%, reboot and LET IT DRAIN UPTO 0%
Now charge it to 100% again without interuption and then reboot.
This is one/first charge cycle. Also get unused toggles off and remove unused widgets.
I would add that you need to go into Clockwork Mod manager by rebooting your phone, selecting advanced, wipe battery stats, repeat after drain to 0 and recharge to 100%

This has been debunked but I still believe in it and what I have seen from my own personal experience.

What other roms should I try?

So far I've been using the epinter(8/22)JB based rom and while it's relatively stable and I love google now and project butter, the battery life is keeping me from using it on a daily basis. My phones been off the charger for six hours and it's already close to 60%. I was able to do some things with it to make the battery last longer, but overall they just involved me not using my phone at all which defeats the purpose. When I was using stock I could get day of use on my phone and end up with about 70% battery at the end of the day. I was even able to go two days without needing to charge it and still had about 50%. I've tried the official CM7 release and neutrino and the battery life was comparable to stock, but it was a little buggy. I was thinking about trying MIUI next and I don't know what other roms I should try.

Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
So it turns out my battery not being calibrated was the issue. I'm coming on 5 hours so far and my battery isn't even discharged 10% which is the best I've had so far ever.
My next question has to do with some graphical errors that I've had in a game I installed it on cm7 and there were some errors and then put it on cm10 and the same issues were there. Is there something I should clear to get rid of them? There weren't present in stock and I imagine they only appeared because my connection when I installed it in cm7 kept timing out since it didn't properly install.

[HELP] Battery problem after deleting the battery stats. [Screenshots]

Hello,
After reading other threads, I've decided that I should post my case to see if I get a better answer.
A couple of days ago after being with SuperNexus 2.0 for a few months I decided to try the stock LSS ROM, I didn't like it and went back to SuperNexus again wiping the Battery Stats in the process to see if my battery life could improve (I know it's a myth, but I tried it anyway). After this my 1.2 years old battery has been crazy:
- Sometimes it will completely discharge it doesn't matter at what percentage the battery is.
- Sometimes the phone will shut down like if the battery is at 0% and it won't turn on again, but if I connect it to the charger it will show some charge (close to the one it has before the phone shut down) and the phone will turn on again. After this I can immediately remove the charger and the phone will work like normal.
What I don't like is that just before the phone randomly shuts down, the screen starts blinking and/or the phone hangs (it doesn't respond to the touch). I'm worry this could be damaging the phone itself.
Please refer to the screenshots (there is not photoshop involved, I swear).
I've tried to charge it to 100% (trying to get it as close to 4.2V as possible), I have pump charged it (disconnect/connect the charger until it doesn't drop to less than 100% immediately), reflash the ROM (wiping/format system, data, dalvik, cache, etc. the usual suspects), etc. but no luck.
I know it looks like a faulty battery, but it has never shown this behavior until I sadly deleted the Battery Stats. Will a new battery solve the problem or it will just be the same?
Any thoughts? Any help/recommendation will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers.
P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

Please refer to the screenshots (there is not photoshop involved, I swear).
I've tried to charge it to 100% (trying to get it as close to 4.2V as possible), I have pump charged it (disconnect/connect the charger until it doesn't drop to less than 100% immediately), reflash the ROM (wiping/format system, data, dalvik, cache, etc. the usual suspects), etc. but no luck.
I know it looks like a faulty battery, but it has never shown this behavior until I sadly deleted the Battery Stats. Will a new battery solve the problem or it will just be the same?
Any thoughts? Any help/recommendation will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers.
P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

Wiping Battery Stats is never a problem, people even do that to reset Battery estimates, try a reflash and a more stable kernel. As far as I know Dori 9.14 is not playing nice with some people.

Yes it sounds weird that deleting a file will screw your battery, but the coincidence here is huge, that's what I don't understand. With respect to Dori 9.14 (I only used it for a couple of weeks), yes i was running it before I did all this, I'm now running the stock Kernel that comes with SuperNexus (which never gave this kind of problems before).
I also removed the battery to see if it was maybe a faulty connection, but it stays in place very tightly.
Cheers.

Yes your coincidence is just too much, hmm.. Weird.. I don't know what to say? Battery Recalibration? Beat a myth with a myth I say.
