BATTERY STATS (Post yours)

BATTERY STATS (Post yours) - G2 General

I've been using XDA for a while, I don't post very much because most of my questions are usually answered by reading up on whatever I need an answer to.
I've seen plenty of posts from users saying things like "Omg, got 10 Hrs of SOT today", but then never post again when someone asks how they achieve it.
I'm starting this thread so that members can post their battery stats with specific ROM, kernel settings, usage, and one of my favorite - SOT (Screen on time) I know results are entirely subjective to each person's use, location, etc, but seeing other people's setup still goes a long way.
Battery is probably the most important thing for me when it comes to my phone since I'm usually very busy and out all day without a charger (not that I don't appreciate performance along with it)
So hopefully this thread will help other people when it comes to getting an idea of what other users are running, how it's tuned and so on.
Please post screen shots of your general battery stats along with your screen on time, kernel settings, etc.
Here's my personal setup:
LiquidSmooth Milestone 3.2
Stock kernel
TCP congestion control: Westwood
Read ahead buffer size:2048
Scheduler: BFQ
Min/max frequency: 300000/2265600
Governor: Zen
Intelliplug: Set to "on"
Multi-core power saving: 1
GPU Governor: Simple_ondemand
GPU max frequency: 450
Undervolted -25 across the board
Facebook, Instagram, G+, one Gmail account all set to auto sync.
Greenify, Amplify and Juice Defender Pro installed, all other bloatware removed.
Wifi on all day when home, off when I'm out. Lots of texts, browsing, some Netflix through Chromecast, Pandora, some calls here and there.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions

Mahdi + Render24 + optimax
No greenify, no google+
Bluetooth off(not that it makes much of a difference), GPS off, sync on
Can anyone that has owned the G2 for 12+ tell me if they've noticed deterioration in battery life?

I've had mine for well over a year and the battery is just as good as it was when I bought it.

Wow, I'm really starting to think there is just something wrong with my G2 or I've loaded some bad software on it [I've wiped, flashed, re-flashed, restored, factory restored, tried numerous things] yet I'm getting at the very best 4 1/2 hours of screen on time.
When using the phone on 4G for web usage, I get about 3 hours total SOT. Going to have to try something else I guess.
I'm running OptimusG3 1.4.1 w/ CloudyFA kernel. No greenify, GPS off and [and location services disabled entirely], bluetooth off, NFC off, etc.
Any tips or advice? [Can't post links yet so it won't let me post the screen shot of my GSAM results but I'm showing the following with 67% remaining:
Used 33% in 7h 24m ∆4.5%/h - 2h 13m Active
Phone: 00:00:00 / 0.0%
Screen: 01:27:11 / 36.6%
Phone Radio: 07:24:40 / 6.7%
Wifi Active: 07:24:40 / 3.4%
Held Awake: 00:45:58 / 0.0%
App Usage: 52.5%

i will post tomorrow as i just had to re root my phone as the nexus 5 ported rom screwed up my whole phone but cant wait to compare

My G2 which I use as a reserve phone now gets 5.5-6.5 hours SOT occasionaly I can squeeze 7 hours, I mostly surf the web and play Fruit Ninja.

I've noticed some phones play better with AOSP while others to better with Stock. I find LG software atrocious so it's only AOSP for me.
Here'e the rest of my discharge:
No undervolting or kernel tweaks. I dont even know what half of the settings do

That's awesome SOT. What ROM are you using?

Well Sprint puts bloat but I can still get to about 6-7 hrs SOT on stock.
I get about 5-6 Hrs SOT on CloudyG3, which I currently use.

I'm using Material Lollipop by Polishchocolate.

Time since unplugged: 70 hours
Screen on time: 5 hours 20 mins.
12% left.
Have not been using the phone a lot but entire 3 days with no charge is good enough for me

This is my first day since having to restore my rom
I had a average day watching a tv series episode (walking dead), listening to music, 3g data , wifi 3 email syncs and locstion on at all time

Running liquid smooth. Only issue with ROM for me is camera with flash on photos will come out white.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using XDA Free mobile app

I am using stock 20G ROM, rooted with Greenify and this are my stats. It's great for me, because my previous S2 was terrible in battery life aspect..

My setup:
ROM: GloudyG3 v1.3 (Yeah I know, it's outdated but I see no need to go to a higher version)
Kernel: Dorimanx 8.1
CPU: Min 300Mhz - Max. 2,3Ghz

The day (form which the first two screenshots are) was last saturday (15 th. of november) and I was on WiFi 100% and was just texting on Whatsapp and browsing XDA in chrome, so I got this 8 hours of SOT
Today where I was at school and was on 3G from 6am until 2pm and after that I was on WiFi an got 5h and 17m of SOT.
BTW: Sorry for the high res. pics

The LiquidSmooth Milestone 3.2 is hands down the best AOSP ROM I've used on any phone period. I honestly can't think of any issues at all. The Developer Rev3nt3ch is one of the best, he squashed virtually every bug you can think of. Go ahead and give it a try, I think you'll like it.

anyone using unrooted kitkat stock rom here ? kindly share ur on screen time and usage.
i am rooted deleted all crap apps freeze all things i dont use even system things like music, slide aside etc etc.
no games at all only whatsapp fb sometimes no camera usage no music and everytime its on wifi 5ghz only single user me to that wifi and if not wifi then only 2g
still i am getting only 3 hour on screen time with
is my battery faulty ????????

Running CM11 with furnace 2.5.1 with greenify, google now turned off, and appops keeping a lot of things from waking up or keeping the phone awake. I'm pretty proud of this!

Other than that it is always set to 816/216.
I usually get about 5 hours screen time and about 20 hours standby. Email and Calender sync at 1 hr, with a custom power profile that turns data off after 15 minutes between 3a-9a. I'm happy with it

Your profiles are similar to what I use, although I don't have one for charging/charging A/C
Also, you run 816/216 rest of the time? Aren't you short-changing your phone's capabilities a bit though ... ? I find the biggest different is having screen-off profile.

Not really. I change it to 1000/216 if it's spectral souls, gun bros or a benchmark. Angry birds plays on my fuze (lol) so i don't change it there. I have noticed little to no difference running 1000/216 on launcher screens, pictures, data rates or anything versus 816/216. If i bump it down to the 700 range then things get laggy, but as it sits 816 runs everything almost flawlessly.

Good to know, thanks! I'll try that, maybe squeeze out a little more battery life than I am now What are you averaging? I can go about 1.5 days with good usage as it stands

Strange, I can't have more than 15 hours if moderate usage...

I have similar profiles to the screenshot posted above, but I don't have one for when powered. The main profile on mine is 1000 max ~400 min. I've found that keeping the min ~400 makes the device always snappy without sacking much battery life.
I also use JuiceDefender to manage my data syncing. I leave the blur battery profile at high performance.

Depends on the day. If its a day off, i get ~30 hours with ~6 hours screen time from 100%-10%. Most days though i don't notice much, I drive around a lot listening to pandora in my car dock so its constantly being charged
If I can tear myself away from pandora for a day i'll repost something more meaningful.
On a side note, I notice with circle battery widget I usually get the slowest drain between 80% and 40%, not sure if anyone else has noticed this.

Small update to what I said earlier..
With my profiles, and all the crap running in the background this is what i got now from 100%-31%
1d3h11m since unplug
1d0h25m idle time
3h04m display
0h45m spectral souls (!)
Would go further but I am gonna be away from a charger all day tomorrow

i get the same battery life with setcpu and a display off profile than with no setcpu at all. my guess is that the battery saved gets wasted on setcpu itself.
I have the phone on from 7:30am to 12 midnight with no calls and 1 hour display time and i have just 40% less. No wifi at anytime.
Apps i only have gmail, no other email accounts, twitter at 15 minutes and whatsapp

You got something else wrong. SetCPU will definitely not drain the life it saves. you must have a beast app running in the back somewhere...
also, what kernel/rom are you running?

what kernel? since when there its custom kernels :rolleyes
i get like 12 hours in my normal day i guess its to few :s but streaming music over BT like 4 hours and surfing web forums tweetdeck. not impressed battery for my usage :S
perhaps seems better than my N1. and seems when i enable data it drain more faster like 5% per hour screen off, and no data like 1% or 2

Yes, my question was pretty straight forward...what kernel are you running. From your response I see your English may be the issue here.
Anyway, reason I ask is because some kernels such as BFS kernels don't really play nice with my phone nor battery. So maybe the issue is with the kernel being used.

/sigh. XDA, a wealth of information, but a lack of patience and reading comprehension.
Anyway, I feel like the Atrix does better than the Evo with battery life. I might try fiddling with SetCPU, so thanks for the info.

HTC Desire with stock Froyo ROM
I've been using SetCPU 2.1.1a recently and have noticed no difference in battery life. Is SetCPU a placebo as far as battery life is concerned?
My settings:
Charging = Max. 998 / Min. 998
Screen Off = Max. 245 / Min. 245
Battery < 101% = Max. 998 / Min. 245
Battery < 25% = Max. 499 / Min. 245
If I "Disable Perflock" SetCPU says "Success: Perflock appears to be disabled".
Some say it increases their battery life, are they imagining it? I'm not interested in over clocking. I'd be very willing to buy it, if it increased my battery life. Thanks

Why are people using Setcpu to try to save battery life?
The whole point of Tegra 2 is ultra low voltage operation when the system is inactive..
Its absolutely counter-productive to use setcpu to try to already do what the chipset itself is made to do and not half as effectively.

This thread is covering more than the Atrix. I didn't want to start yet another thread about this, when there are already plenty. Besides the main SetCPU thread (with the download links) is in the HTC Dream section and that phone's ancient.
If someone can answer my questions please.

Who got the best battery life on TB?

Hi all,
I'm trying to find a best setup with the best battery life for the TB. My TB not doing so well with the battery life. Which I already this an an issue. Therefore I want to see what other might have their TB setup.
Please post kernel, Rom and ruu use. Howls your TB last ...etc..
Thanks for all you help.
Note. My TB doesnt last that long with oem battery. I constantly have to charge it through out the day. It's suck but don't have a choice.
Thanks

are you on a extended batt? i amaze myself when my phone can actually go past 8 hours of use.
ive been having somewhat ok life with bamf 1.6.1 and leankernel extreame, but for some odd reason after 20% it starts sucking it dry as if i was streaming a video. then again alot say that it takes a couple of days to let the kernel settle in.
Maybe thats why i never see good batt life cause im a rom/kernel flashing whore

I like the das BAMF series ROM the most and tend to get best battery life on imoseyon's lean xtreme kernel on ondemand (his kernels fully underclock on all profiles when screen is off, like smartass) and always switch to wifi at home and where available. My setCPU profiles underclock at 40% battery and further at 20% battery. Right now though I am enjoying adrynalyne's latest kernel set on smartass, get great life and is quite responsive. I tend to get bored though so I will likely give the latest lean xtreme a run in the next few days

I've found reasonable battery life when I use Imoseyon's extreme kernel with a max around 750-800. Not awesome, but reasonable (i.e. Much better than 5-8 hours)

das bamf 1.5 with imoseyon extreme and a bunch of tweaked things

On the new Bamf 1.6 I have averaged around 12 hours of moderate use while keeping 4G on the entire time.

Utkanos gets something like 2 days without an extended battery. so ask him if you really like
But i get about 18hours a day under medium use. Using basic debloat and utkanos's 5 slot kernel

Stock battery on Tesla Coil 1.7 with limited use, 4G on, always on mobile data off, and a few calls/texts I got 28 hours.

I was having terrible battery life at first but after flashing BAMF1.6.1 and imo's extreme kernal I'm currently 4 hours of the charger and at 92 percent.
I've found the best combo to be autostarts and juice defender ultimate to be the best combo for saving battery. I'm also in a 4g area.
This is my first day with this setup but it looks promising so far, before this setup I would get about an hour per 10%.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Running the extended battery, New CDMA radio, stock LTE (phone set to CDMA Auto PRL though), Bamf 1.5, Bamf 4.4.2 kernel, running 1GHz w/smartass governor, auto brightness, no 4G, WiFi on all the time (connected while at work all day and while at home), decent ammount of web browsing, emails and calls constantly while at work, good ammount of Facebook and Angry Birds/Stupid Zombies, and playing MP3's while driving to/from work and while running errands.
I charge once every 2 to 3 days. I'd post a pic but I just charged last night, so the phone's only been unplugged for about 3 hours. After those 3 hours of reading the news, answering a few emails, checking Facebook, and playing music on my 20 minute drive to work, I'm down to 97%.
Also, probably noteworthy to say I have as much of the HTC garbage ripped out as I could without breaking things.

This is going to come down to a lot of preferences on your part. If your looking the best Rom/kernel combo, opinions will vary but it also has alot to do with your own personal tweaks.
In my opinion, the Bamf remix 1.6.1 is the absolute best out there so far. This Rom includes the Bamf 4.4.3 kernel. I am getting about 22 hours on average but again it depends on what else you do to the Rom after installation. Below are a few of my own tweaks. They are optional but they really help battery life. At minimum, you should try the Bamf 1.6.1 Rom and kernel. I have tried moat roms out here and this is definitely the best on battery.
Tweak after Rom install:
>Turn off 4g. I only use it when I tether and 3g is fine for my texts, Facebook and email.
>I only overclock to 1190mhz. And use the interactive governor. It's plenty fast on this Rom!
>Tweak your email sync settings so you are not syncing email all day. Mine is set to every 2 hours and manual sync from 12am to 7am.
>choose auto brightness setting. The 1.6.1 Rom is extremly efficient at managing the display.
>turn off haptic / vibration feedback
>disable all animations.
>turn off gps, Bluetooth and WiFi when you are not using them.
>remove backup assistant. I have the all file on my SD card so I install it and back up my contacts as needed then uninstall it. I do this because it seemed like backup assistant is always syncing.
>don't sync anything but email. No Facebook or HTC sense. This has nothing to do with using the Facebook app. It has to do with Facebook contacts and etc. It's in settings and accts & sync.
>if you have a gmail acct, don't use the gmail app, use the mail app instead because you have more.options to tweak when you want email to sync. (Ex. I don't need my email to.sync while I am sleeping).
There are more tweaks out there I am sure these are just a few that I use a.d find have really helped wig my battery. Also I can get about 12 hours if leave it on 4g the whole time.
Hope this helps and happy flashing. Let me know if you have any questions.

I had it off the charger around 4:30 PM EST yesterday and didn't plug it in until about 7:30 AM this morning (so roughly 15 hours) and was at around 50 percent. This is with some Bluetooth usage, LTE only mode (so 4G the entire time), some market updates, texting, some phone calls, push for Exchange, Gmail, Facebook (for and not for sense) and Twitter all setup to auto sync. Also played some games and took some pictures (and uploaded some pics directly to Facebook.) Also some Pandora streaming (but not a lot...usually I am docked at work when I do most of my Pandora streaming.) Some Maps stuff as well but less than 10 minutes.
I never got close to this on the stock build.

Using either the CM prealpha or Das Bamf both with leankernel 1.9ghz extreme version mine will easily last all day. No 4g in my area but I'm a typical college student and I use tethering late in the afternoon when everyone's online.

The battery also depends if you have 4G, wifi, Bluetooth on all the time or not. The screen brightness, notifications lights, vibrate on/off. There are many settings that can be tweaked to increase the battery life. Also depends if you are in a area with a good signal. I know my battery can drain fast if the phone is constantly searching for signal and has trouble staying connected. I was able to get 18 hrs with stock rom before rooting. Now I get easily 24 hrs if not 36 hr after tweaking the settings and using BAMF 1.6. at 1Ghz with smartass governor. Play around with the setting and if you have terrible reception at work, try enabling "airplane" mode so that your phone is not searching constantly.
If I turn off 4G and use the phone only for texting at work (i have like 0-1 bars) I would only drop 10% after 8 hrs being at the office.

I know my phone lost 7 percent in 8hrs. This is on the bamf 1.6.1 with ad's 4.4.3 kernal. I have it de-sensed tho. I know with this setup i could easily get 24hrs.

Great post and I agree as I posted most of my tweaks earlier in response to this question. I would like to know from you though what your thoughts are on the Interactive vs Smartass gov. I have never tried the smartass gov but I see that many use this. Can you tell me why you prefer this one? I have read many post explaining gov, but I am lookign for a more pratical opionion in leymans terms as to why Smartass may be the way to go. My setup is posted earlier in tis same post in case you want to compatre, but we are on the same rom. (Bamf Remix 1.6.1).
Thanks in advance...

IMO any ROM that doesn't have sense on it will easily boost battery by 30-40%. Just look at how the Droid Charge performs and not to mention BMX has said sense is the real problem for the Bolt's battery woes.
To me, though, if I can get 12 hours from a sense'd ROM with email and other items on active sync (i.e. not every 2 hours) along with doing regular tasks then that's what I want. I am always near a charger at work or at home if I need a quick boost of juice. I don't care if I can get 18 hours as I rarely need it away from a power source that long.

May sound strange but I disabled juice defender today and have been getting much better battery life.

Can you explain what you mean by (de-sensed) I am also running bamf 1.6.1

I Have Achieved Awesome Battery Life - Going on 19 hours!

I've done a bunch of different things to my phone to achieve this. I owe most of this result to scripts I have developed, I've put a lot of research into these, as well as my build.prop (Google "0vermind build prop" for that), I am not even using the memory values of supercharger, etc. I will probably be posting my scripts soon and how I did this, but just wanted to give a heads up. Long live the best phone ever made! The Droid x2!

Nice..looking forward to your work..

Now this is with what kind of use?
I can do regular texting, a little web search and marketplace downloads/updates and have around 19 hours and be around 20% with just the normal tweaks. (Probably 40% usage, 60% idle). I set the data saver to trigger at 11 PM (even though I always use it until late into the next morning) but by the time data saver is off (8 AM) the phone probably dropped 10-15% if I rarely used it. I'm wondering if this is at all any good since my idle is around 85% at all times so it looks like you trimmed that down.
This being my first smartphone, I think the actual standbye time is great but usage time is awful.
*edit: Just checked and running 2 Hours on battery and dropped 10% so I have no clue whats going on. I've noticed this phones battery is really random.

Mines been pretty consistent, and I've had wifi on most of the time, if you look at the screens. I don't text using standard texting app, I use Google Voice, which is said to use more battery cause it has to send a keep alive signal and it constantly redownloads messages.
That being said, I also have Trillian sitting in the background and have it on 24/7. It notifys me of texts, vms, calls from my business number, plus facebook. And I made a few calls, some short, some long. All that, 19 hours, and still 20% to spare. Heavy use still lasts pretty dang long.
And, if you look at my awake times, my phone never really goes into deep sleep when the screen is off, and it's suppose to, I think this is a software bug in Motorola's build of Gingerbread for x2. That's why I think I'm pretty impressed right now with this beast! Oh and Quadrant scores around 2900.

I have excellent battery life with my x2, the key to me was not using any of motoblur's social networking integration.. It consistantly runs and just gums everything up.. I use the facebook app and twitdeck when i want too, but dont let them update automatically (aka no unneeded connections to the web to download crap i can just manually update)..
Ever since then i get 2 full days out of battery usage if i need..

Since moving to Gingerbread I've been able to push the phone to almost 24hrs between charges, on very light usage days. This is with bg data services running (Sync on, corp email sync, Trillian, weather updates, etc...) If I'm using the phone for any significant portion of the day this drops considerably.
All I've done is frozen most of the Motorola/Verizon bloat.
The next opportunity I have to basically ignore my phone for 24hrs I will post screenshots to prove it.

That's with light usage though? I use my phone pretty heavily at times. Cause as you know from my signature, I run a business, lol.

I'm a heavy use phone user and I use my phone as my home phone. I've rooted and killed the motocrap with fire. I use setcpu to handle better CPU throttling and achieve 24+ hours on a single charge. I don't have any doubts the heavy battery use stems from the motocrap. I just cannot wait until CM7 or another minimalist rom becomes available with overclocking.

Do you happen to have any problems with setcpu actually making the processer stay within the range you set? It seems that no matter where I set the min/max it stays there for maybe half hour max then goes to whatever speed it wants to. The sliders don't change spots, the cpu just doesn't stay within the value set after a half hour. Can't future out why.

Overclocking needs a CUSTOM KERNEL not a stock kernel. Locked BLoader = No Overclock.

I am not trying to overclock. I am trying to keep my speeds lower to help save battery which I have been told IS possible. I know I can't go faster than 1ghz but I thought I would be able to keep it from reaching that to save battery life. Am I wrong

Overmind,
Is this with the stock bh5x battery? I can get upwards of 10-14hours on mine with moderate use.

I'm not so sure that the stock kernel will allow for any tweaking of clock speeds. I think you have to have a custom kernel to implement any clock or scheduler changes.

Not sure about that one... I use profiles to handle the changes rather than forcing the speed ranges through the set sliders. The profiles seem to work better anyway, they react to active content rather than set-in-stone performance. One thing to note, the profiles are only available in the paid version (IIRC). Changing the profiles would be similar to handling the changes manually or through custom scripting routines. Right now, I'm going on 15+ hours with 70% of my battery left. I had the OG Droid running over five days on a single charge. What I do different from those saying 1 day max charge, I have no clue.

So ETA on script release?

I shall try profiles then. I do have paid version. Thanks for the tip.

I consistently get 20+ hours with a stock battery, no scripts of any kind, with moderate use and data always connected. All I've done to achieve this is de bloat the hell out of the system apps, set my screen brightness to minimum (the thing its so dang bright anyways, you can hardly tell once you get used to the minimum setting) my wifi is set to never disconnect (I pretty much have a wifi connection 95% of the time) that's about it. I use adwEX, plume for twitter (polls every 3 minutes) gmail, google voice for visual voicemail, moderate amount of widgets (clockr, fancy widget pro, system panel, power control, uk news), I'm even running a live wallpaper (vortex galaxy, set to 100% speed).

You Can Underclock.

So here I am, finally hitting 50% 1d 5h 10m and a few seconds. I wonder what this would be like on the extended battery?

[Q] Change the battery?

Hello,
I'm an happy X10 owner since November 2010. Since then my phone has been intensively used. Hundreds of ROM changes, daily use. It has been charged everyday.Now I'm on Donout HD2, with unlocked bootloader without overclocking. After all this time the battery life gone crazy. For e.g. I'm not able to watch one movie because after one hour the battery is almost empty (on lowest brightness). I remember that ~1/2 Year ago I was able to watch a whole movie and the battery was more than 60% left (I'm using MX Player). It's weird, specially because my brother uses the same video player and his battery usage is below 10% after whole movie(SGS II). There is also weird thing that the phone is doing> After I use it intensively and turn off the screen and leave it for some time the battry gets loaded (+ 1-15%). The problem exists only when I have screen turned on (battery gets very warm). Today I've watched Youtube for ~15min (using WIFI) and I had to stop it, because the battery got from 45% to 15%. Of course I have some programs running in the background (musicXmatch,ProximityScreenOff,Program TV,Profile Settings, Equalizer, Flip and Sleep, Clipper, Missed Reminder, KeepScreen, Callrecorder, Setxperia, BlingBoard, Thumb Keyboard + system processes).
So my question is:
-Is the ROM wrong (I don't think so)
-Some of the processes need more energy
-Is the battery old and I should replace it with a new one (That's what I'm thinking of)
Please share Your experience & suggestions.

Hi,
how many empty RAM do you have when phone boots up?
Also try installing CPUspy and run it for a day, an you will show how is phone under pressure. Also install CPUMaster, maybe changing CPU governor will help.
Main power comsumption is form CPU and display. I also have set it on one of the lowest levels, because of durability.
I had tried about ten different ROMs (dont count many versions of each one); but in most of them I observed little bigger power consumption then on my current. I chose Wolfbreak gaming and cleaned junk apps (more then he did ) and got great battery performance - about 2 - 3 days with standart usage, 1,5 day with high pressure.
"Problem" is caused only when screen is on because CPU is awake, but when screen off CPU automatically goes into deep sleep mode with tiny consumption
But in you case, install CPUspy, report it here and try to cut off some junk apps - there are a lot of them in any rom...

Same here mate. My phone is even older than yours. I got mine in June 2010 - so nearly 2 years old. I didnt change ROM's till 3 months back (only changed 3-4 times till now, am on X10S now). Dont use phone for anything other than calls, chatting on gtalk, whatsapp etc. That too not too much. But yes, battery has deteriorated like crazy. *Battery loses 1% for every minute screen is on*. mind you, this is on 40% brightness with auto brightness turned off. Only data connection on, bluetooth, wifi, gps turned off.
I wouldnt say i have really used my phone a lot. So battery deterioration is really weird. I have always had a doubt about the FPS Uncap, that it causes the screen to draw lot more power than when FPS was capped (i am assuming the FPS at 55 is achieved at a higher refresh rate than when FPS was capped at 30). I couldnt find any script to turn the FPS cap back on so that i could test this. so cant say for sure.
battery does the "back from the dead" trick on me too. Playing a game like PES, Fifa etc., sometimes phone dies when battery was still 22-23%. Then restart the phone and it stays on for 2 odd hours. Start game again, and it dies within minutes again. Once it went to 0% while playing a game. I tried to switch it on, it did.. and i left it as it is... after 30 minutes, i check the phone, battery has crawled back to 31%!! and then it stays on for nearly 4 hours after that.
Basically, the battery can go on for 1 day or slightly more on standby... but if u use the phone (duh!), its kaput.

Your battery seems to have other problem - needs to be recalibrated. In worse it needs to be replaced.
But firstly try things I have described above for jakuburban, it might help also.
Good luck!

Yes, I'll try all of them. I've set the CPU usage to ondemand (like I always had) and noticed one thing.
Whenever the screen gets on the CPU freq. gets to maximum (only when screen was on, doing nothing)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And only after I turn off the screen it looks like that
That means that the CPU freq. is Maximum or minimum, nothing between that (rarely).
I'll provide more snapshots after longer usage

to jakuburban:
Wow, he we got it! Phone is on max frequency as possible all the time!
Also I cant see the deep sleep - could you test this:
- open CPUspy, tap form menu Reset timers
- use some task killer, kill all the application
- turn off the phone (not shutdown, only to disable screen) and leave it for few minutes
- after that turn on the phone and look into CPUspy if deep sleep was active. If not, we have second problem.
To fix it, do you have unlocked bootloader or you have custom kernel with standart bypass method?
BTW.: Wow, I am now the senior member ! I am getting older faster, than I thought

So here is Your answer. I've changed my kernel to DooMLorD and everything works better

Nice to sse that it is solved
Also recommend to change CPU governor to "interactive" - its the best between almost nolags in eg. movies and apps and wit acceptable battery consumption. But not sure if it is includedin this doomkernel,so simply look into CpuMaster and give a try
"ondemand" governor has more battery drain in most roms.

OK, the battery seems better. I've been using my phone all day long browsing the Internet and it was still more than 50% of battery.

Thanks guys, after changing to interactive i had the perfect combination of no lag and battery life! Thank you!

What is the life of my battery only 5 hours (standby)? Is it Kernel related?

Hi,
Ive never had problems with my battery until recently. I decided to try new ROMs and kernels. I was on DonutHD with stock kernel since it came out but recently I changed to FeraKernel 3.6 and Feral_V22_Marvel ROM. I noticed that my battery died very very quickly even after being charged for all night. Like on standby it would only last 5 hours.
I thought it might be the ROM, so I reflashed and formatted. This time I flashed DonutHD back but kept Ferakernel. Again after full charge, the battery died after 4 hours of standby. Im not even using it. What is causing this? How can I fix it?
I would like to mention that I have checked my battery with battery health applications and all of them say that my battery is in good condition and does not need replacing.
Is ferakernel responsible for this? It cant be as a LOT of people are using it here..
Thanks

Anything is possible.
I just started testing my XPERIA X10i standby time just for a laugh.
So far on standby with 16hrs on battery, it has used 2%. The phone has an active SIM and approx 160 applications installed, including email, calendar and provider updates for different services.
Last time I did a pure standby test, I had three days up and about 70% battery remaining... then I watched a 1hr video or something. and that was the end.
To get long standby times you have to understand a few basics.
If you have the original XPERIA X10i battery you have a Li-Po battery. Most phones now have Li-ion
Your need to know what is using your battery and when.
Google Play: GSam Battery Monitor
You need to verify your phone is going into deep sleep when the screen is off or the CPU is not being actively used(running as a media server).
Google Play: CPU Spy Plus
You need to have profiles to under volt the CPU when the screen is off and/or profiles matching applications if high CPU clocking is required.
You need to find the sweet spot for minimum clocking and being able to recover and come out of deep sleep without FC or hanging the phone.
Some Kernels and ROM don't play nice with low voltage and deep-sleep.
You need to understand your CPU and the governors/schedulers you're using.
[GUIDE] CPU Governors, TCP algorithms, Android Tips, & IO Schedulers: In my Own Words
And lastly, you need you understand the applications you're running on your XPERIA X10i and what background process there are running.
For example Google Latitude and background data processing is a recipe for disaster when it comes to battery life.
And lastly(before the last lastly) you need to know what is bringing your phone out of deep-sleep when the screen is off and you're not using it.
Even basic Android battery history has the Awake column which if it's just a solid line... you're in a whole world of hurt.
And the other thing is, this is only the VERY basics of battery optimization.
The following is my XPERIA X10i after doing nothing for the last 16hrs.

Hi,
Ive never had problems with my battery until recently. I decided to try new ROMs and kernels. I was on DonutHD with stock kernel since it came out but recently I changed to FeraKernel 3.6 and Feral_V22_Marvel ROM. I noticed that my battery died very very quickly even after being charged for all night. Like on standby it would only last 5 hours.
I thought it might be the ROM, so I reflashed and formatted. This time I flashed DonutHD back but kept Ferakernel. Again after full charge, the battery died after 4 hours of standby. Im not even using it. What is causing this? How can I fix it?
I would like to mention that I have checked my battery with battery health applications and all of them say that my battery is in good condition and does not need replacing.
Is ferakernel responsible for this? It cant be as a LOT of people are using it here..
Thanks

You might install CpuSpy and check whether the phone goes into deep sleep. If it doesn't then it may be some app causing the high cpu usage. Else, if the deep sleep works and the battery lasts only 5h You might have damaged battery. The programs won't show it. Also one question: does Your phone shut down by itself when using more power, like: video recording, trying to play some better game?

Anything is possible.
I just started testing my XPERIA X10i standby time just for a laugh.
So far on standby with 16hrs on battery, it has used 2%. The phone has an active SIM and approx 160 applications installed, including email, calendar and provider updates for different services.
Last time I did a pure standby test, I had three days up and about 70% battery remaining... then I watched a 1hr video or something. and that was the end.
To get long standby times you have to understand a few basics.
If you have the original XPERIA X10i battery you have a Li-Po battery. Most phones now have Li-ion
Your need to know what is using your battery and when.
Google Play: GSam Battery Monitor
You need to verify your phone is going into deep sleep when the screen is off or the CPU is not being actively used(running as a media server).
Google Play: CPU Spy Plus
You need to have profiles to under volt the CPU when the screen is off and/or profiles matching applications if high CPU clocking is required.
You need to find the sweet spot for minimum clocking and being able to recover and come out of deep sleep without FC or hanging the phone.
Some Kernels and ROM don't play nice with low voltage and deep-sleep.
You need to understand your CPU and the governors/schedulers you're using.
[GUIDE] CPU Governors, TCP algorithms, Android Tips, & IO Schedulers: In my Own Words
And lastly, you need you understand the applications you're running on your XPERIA X10i and what background process there are running.
For example Google Latitude and background data processing is a recipe for disaster when it comes to battery life.
And lastly(before the last lastly) you need to know what is bringing your phone out of deep-sleep when the screen is off and you're not using it.
Even basic Android battery history has the Awake column which if it's just a solid line... you're in a whole world of hurt.
And the other thing is, this is only the VERY basics of battery optimization.
The following is my XPERIA X10i after doing nothing for the last 16hrs.

Thank you for your detailed response. My battery did last longer than the last time and I dont know why It lasted only 5 hours. Maybe something was keeping it awake. What I want to know is what? I think if I notice this next time I will try to find out using the applications you mentioned.
I did install the advised applications and here are the results. My Deep Sleep time is much lower than yours.

It's hard to know in your case as you're actively using your phone.
For the purpose of testing, my phone is in standby and not being used at all other than viewing stats, capturing screens, moving screenshots onto my NAS and basic house keeping including 'normal' email and etc background processes..
If the on screen time parallels the awake times, then that would not indicate a problem. It's only when you're not using the phone and you see excessive usage, that may indicate a problem.
Your 68% sleep time considering your active use is not bad.
Do you run an active 3G/WiFi network connection all the time?
This only encourages background processes to maintain there active links and thus use processing time.
So are you running FB, Twitter, social media, news feeds and etc 24/7?
The CPU governor and clocking you use on a given ROM plays a major part too.
GSam Battery Monitor does display processes that are holding the phone awake and how often.
Just be aware, that all these monitoring applications take up resources too.
So over one and a half days and I have 89% battery left.
Just as a note, the following is what the phone signal code colours mean.

Soo... to visualize this better, here's the color table:
████████ : radio off
████████ : no signal
████████ : signal strenth 0
████████ : signal strenth 1
████████ : signal strenth 2
████████ : signal strenth 3
████████ : signal strenth 4 (Excellent)

The Problem is definitely not with Fera's Rom or kernels....its with the phone or the apps you use.....
After clearing the problem you can also consider this if you want more battery backup....... 1800mAh mugen battery for x10 (gives good backup time)...

And if you want proof of that, just look at my battery stats as I have a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery installed.
Remember though, the battery is only as good as the applications and configuration you are running.
Bad application configuration/setup/use = bad battery life.
My battery is now at 4d 10h and 22%.
Note - I got bored waiting for the paint to dry and started touching it. :laugh: The last 50% of battery life consists of AnTuTu v3.1.2 benchmarks, application install/modification, monitoring, configuration changes and system reboots.
