I have an almost new HTC HD2. I am testing various ROMs and radios to find the reason for why is my HD2 going through battery so quick.
At this point I am with HD2O v18 ROM and 2.15.50 radio. This is the best combo for me so far in terms of battery use. On standby its very less battery life .This all seems to much to me.but I like to use AmeriCanAndroid .
I also sometimes boot AmeriCanAndroid from SD card, and there it's even worse. 60mA on standby and 120-140 on everything off but auto screen brightness.
I have done so many thing to increase the battery life .Use various Auto task killer apps , keep brightness at lowest level ,removed every unnecessary app from mobile, not used GPS & GPRS . but still this all could not worked for me...
I want to use Android man ... What should i do to solve this problem ? Please help me guys
Hey Guys
Before Reading: Sorry for my bad English It's not my first language
So, what I've made with my X10i last days:
Because of average 8 hours Battery-life with standard-battery, I bought a Polarcell battery with 1700mAh. Under Android 2.3.3 it works really fine! I'm charging my phone over night. The new Polarcell-Battery gives up to 20 hours!
But I got sick of X10's Speed. So I tried CyanogenMod 7.2 FXP with the FXP-Kernel and now I'm happy with the phone's speed!
[I also tried DooMKernel v0.5 for CM7, but my phone refuses to boot properly. Often it crashes after a few seconds running android-system]
Apart from Speed, my battery is now empty after 8 hours. [with Polarcell-Battery] According to Android's Battery-Stats, the "Standby-Networkconnection" [I don't now the Englisch word for the German "Mobilfunk-Ruhezustand"] need up to 65% of battery!!! I switched to 2G-only, but this doesn't change this percentage a lot.
Also Phone-Standby needs a lot of Battery.
Is this a bug of CM7.2 or the kernel? How can I avoid these behaviour?
Any tipps, tricks or tweaks?
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help me.
Greetz!
Hey,what it's the best life battery rom and kernel for xperia x10 mini??Please,help me,I have CM 7.2 and my battery least only 18 hours. Please help me.
Every ROMs here are made with hard works and care. What developer would want to make bad battery ROM? The best way is to find it out yourself.
P.S. CM7 has very good battery. 18 hrs is great! isnt it?

with some sms per day (~100) and some other use, the rom i got most battery life was GingerSony, almost two days (for my x10minipro, but i think Teamvince created a x10mini rom as well) but even with that rom, if i play a game for some time, it wont even last one day, so battery life is not directly related to the rom itself but to the things you do with the phone, heavy use will mean heavy battery drain

Agree on everything mate, Gingersony really is the most stable and fast rom there is ( just need to flash the led fix ), and for me with that rom the battery lasts 3 full days ( 72H ) without shut down the phone and no charges, and it could last 4 days if i didn't have to listen to 1H of music a day, you probably are wondering how i get such battery life, well it's simple, i don't play games and i don't use much the wifi, i just listen music 1h a day and i send many sms ( even with those sms the battery doesn't drain that much ), and i don't overclock or undervolt, my settings are 480mhz max / 19 mhz min, no ram enhancement stuffs ( that eat more battery ), virtual memory 16 instead of 24/32/48, and card cache 128kb, with no animation effects and the brightness at the minimum, no gps or location services, no internet by data ( that eats battery ), gsm with 2g networks only, no automatic syncs with gmail, email etc.. and that's pretty much the settings i use xD. Take care of your battery and every rom will do you good , but i suggest Gingersony v06 yes .
If i helped you can press thanks...i think xD.

Crazy Seed, you recommend Gingersony v06, but it looks like the highest release for the X10 Mini was only v05. Is this correct or do you have another source?

Sorry mate your right, Sometimes i get confused with the x10 mini vs x10 mini 'pro' thing xD, mine is 'pro' xD.
But yes for your Mini the last one was V05, but i recommend you to port the V06 ( x10 mini pro version ) to that V05, because it has less bugs, i think xD.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I'm up to the task of porting a ROM though.

You're welcome. Don't think it's a hard thing to do, it actually is really easy xD, i will resume it for you.
First just extract the winrar of the rom you want to port and the rom that is for your phone.
- Just change the folders app/fonts/framework/media of your Rom to the ones that are on The rom you want to port.
On the "etc" folder:
- Remove all files in the Permissions folder except the files "handheld_core_hardware" and "platform" of your Rom and copy all the ones that are on the V06 except for those 2 files i mentioned.
- Then remove all files in the Init'd folder except the file "00banner" of your V05 and copy all the ones that are on the V06 except for that file i mentioned.
Then select the folders Meta-Inf and System ( and other folders if it exists there, but usually there's no more folders there ), Right click of the mouse, Add to Archive ( winrar ), put it as a .ZIP file and not .RAR, then OK, and there you have it .
And that's it xD.

Self explanatory really, I much prefer having stock android on my s3 but the battery is much worse compared to roms running on a Samsung base.
I would like to know if this happens to everyone and the reason behind it since I've read the "nexus edition" S4 actually has better battery results than the Samsung variant.
Many thanks

Samsung includes a lot of battery saving technology in their roms but it is closed source so developers cannot access it.
I run a custom Samsung ROM and an AOSP - battery isn't noticeably different. I also use Greenify and I turn off auto brightness (run it about 50%) & blocki9ng mode. Overnight I see my battery drop by between 3% & 5%. 15 hours of normal use sees maybe 30 - 45% battery depending on how much game versus phone/SMS.
Best battery so far is 54 hours and at 28% - I was in Melbourne via train and forgot my charger. I know it is the TYPE of use that matters but I was making/receiving calls and spent about 45 mins as hotspot to the wife's laptop.
I run GoogyMax, v6.1 Purelook HD ROM and SlimBean ROM v 7. Haven't found anything not working, haven't got FC's.
Both ROM's installed on full wipe.
My issue with Samsung 4,3 based roms is this:
Badass battery monitor always shows kernel on top of my battery usage charts. Normally on 4.1.2 based roms the kernel would run for about 12-15 minutes over the course of battery being used form 100 to about 10 % but on 4.3 on the same usage kernel is runnning for close to an hour. Also Android OS always tops my battery drainage charts irrespective of what kernel plus rom I use.
With the same set of apps I had pretty good battery life on 4.1.2 but not so good on 4.3.
BBS also does not show any weird behavior.
Any pointers as to how I can prevent kernel usage from being so high?

First of all- what build versions / kernels did you use? I'm running Neatrom's NA5 version with stock kernel and it seems to have the best battery life i've ever seen (even compared to 4.1.2 roms) (it can be better using Boeffla kernel, but for me its more than enough)
Second- try to set off 'Scanning always available' in wifi settings, and look for 'location settings' in Google Settings app- they cause a huge battery usage

I used omega v54/55 as well as the last 2 versions of neat rom. Currently using the NA5 one. On Stock kernel. Tried boeffla as well.
Wifi Scanning off. and no location services as well.

This may look like a silly question, but you have playing around with ROMs istalling few daily, or you've let them settle. I used to change them few times/hour, but now I am really happy with SmartDroid Lite v5 (ex ZDroid). It really is a difference compared to when I instlled it 3 days ago. First, it was like 7-10% dropped in the first night. Last night I got to bet with 43% (23PM) and woke up with 43% (8AM). I never believed the others when they said that. BTW, I am using latest AGNi Stock 3.5.1 kernel.
