Recently my battery (mido Snapdragon) started acting up so i decided to change to a custom rom my first choice being dotOS but that somehow triggered something in battery my guess coz after that the battery life has gone to hell and i switched 3 roms since and the current rrOS by endless was holding fine but still would like to know whats holding the battery up here are screenshots from better battery life
If someone could help it would be really appreciated

hey
just flashed toxic "crazy8" rom and im having some battery issues.
i also flashed the immortality kernel by team whiskey (PROPS)
so the phone is wicked but the battery is killing me like 4 hours the phone dies. since my job involves gps being used i can understand it will die faster then usual but this fast ?
anyways i dont want to switch roms, cause i like it but any tips and things to improve battery would help
thanks.
I am running it now and it should not be dying that fast. You may want to reflash it. I remember in the past I flashed one of the themes once and it destroyed my battery life.

well bro there are also more problems, it seems the phone is shutting off and reporting the wrong battery stats. so for example it will shut down on low battery and when you turn it on it has like 40% battery still in it ?
and then its freezing like crazy and stuck forever.
havent rebooted yet but will keep you posted once i do it this weeked.
hopefully
I recommend you switch to Bali 1.8.8uv or Bali X 1.2 if you want improved battery life. Immortality has always been a bit buggy for me, crashing when multiple apps are open and other little issues.
Also, it sounds like maybe your battery settings need to be reset. You can do this with the Battery Calibration app from the market. Just follow the instructions.
I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II phone, and it is absolutely brilliant. Speeds are excellent - no lag. Screen is absolutely AMAZING. Camera is the best I've ever touched.
BUT, the thing that bugs me is the battery life. One of the selling points of the Galaxy S II to me was the "Amazing Battery Life" which has been praised. I have only owned this phone for two days (charged only one and a half times), but I have not seen this "excellent" battery life AT ALL.
Any tips or suggestions? I have read that the battery in this device "improves" after some time (a few charge cycles). Is this true?
Thank you
hey congratulations on your new samsung. I got mine when it first came out and had the same problems with batteries. My best suggestion is to familiarize yourself with custom roms and learn everything you need to know about flashing and rooting, and when you're ready look into installing a custom rom. Cognition v1.5.1 is a really good choice because of the fact that it removes a lot of the bloatware that automatically runs when you turn the phone on (which drains the battery quite a bit). Also some other ways of dealing with the battery life is to reduce the brightness as much as you can handle (the highest setting of brightness on any phone is never a good idea for battery life).
if you search around these forums you will probably find better help from people who know more about this stuff than me. However, as someone who went from never touching android in my life to learning it all with this phone I can say your best bet is to learn how to flash and mess around with the firmware. That coupled with basic battery tips will help a lot.
also one final thought. If you download battery calibrator from the market, charge your phone to 100% then take the plug out and run it, let it drain down to 0% then start the charge over that is the quickest way to fix the battery issues. (this would only need to be done once, or every time you flash a new firmware if you choose to pursue that).
hope I helped!
so as im a new user and i can't post in half of the forum, but i've still got this urgent question/ point to ask, here's my question:
i recently moved on the new 1.9.1 ressurection remix rom from the 1.3, and aswell changed my kernel to siyah, now lately my battery drains preety quick (yes i did burn it down to 0% and charged it over to 100% few times), but here's the thing, when once i had issues with screen burning 30%-45% of my battery, now it's lying low on 10%-20% while the real issue now is the "Android OS" which goes as high as 60%-70% of my battery, i've been trying to calibrate the battery and reset battery stats and discharge and recharge couple of times, but this just keeps going on... any way to solve this?

OK! I've read your situation. This is the only thing that I can recommend. Try installing a Gingerbread rom and see if the issue persists. If it does then some of your application could be the culprit behind the battery draining issue. But again, thats just a guess...And if it is one of your applications that is causing the drain then you should install bettebatterystats from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Then charge your battery to 100% and try a new calibration method, maybe you haven't heard of it. But if you charge till 100% then take out the battery for exactly 3 minutes and put it back in and power up your phone and use your phone normally as you do and then at 20% or lower go and check betterbatterystats and see what is causing the most of the battery drain.
Have a great day and good luck with the battery drain, hope this helps!!
Did you check the ROM FAQ about battery draining?
Please check it out. There is also an example of making some changes using extweaks which comes installed by default with ICS Resurrection 1.9.1.
Here is the link to FAQ.

i did read about the new method today, but havent had the chance to try it yet.
im not sure if it's a certain application that causes it, but in the battery stats it points out "Android OS", i've seen many galaxy nexus users complain about the same problem, even with stock kernel/roms, and galaxy S2 users that moved from gingerbread to ICS. it's logical that ICS will take more battery because of the control over multiple cpus and all this kind of stuff but im not sure how much it is about that "Android OS".
anyway ill try to have this battery calibration new method once my battery will drain out, and im probably not going to go down to gingerbread again because i already know its not gonna persist because i remmember how my phone behaved on GB and that those 2 systems work completely different and i want to solve the drain per ICS and not solve the issue by downgrading back down to gingerbread.
thank you for your time and help anyway

thanks for the link, i haven't noticed too much i havent done yet, they poiny siyah kernel as one of the 3 good 1s that work well with the rom for better battery, and i am testing different governors, clocks and voltages but there's many options so i can't do it all in an instant so it takes time...
thanks for your help
Hello, i have a redmi 3 since 2 years, and I've been experiencing some huge drain in battery, when I pull the charger after reaching 100% almost inmediately drops to 94%x I was using resurrection remix, I'm now in Xiaomi.eu MIUI 9.5 and battery life is slight better (I must mention that I use Greenify and bootManager modules)
I'm afraid it could be a hardware problem, this phone belonged to my brother and it had passed a lot of dropping, shocks and liquid, I even bought a replacement battery, problem stays the same, the phone never overheats or hangs so it can't be an internal short.
I've been reading a lot of people talking about 3 days battery life and I always need to charge it after a 11 hour journey
For example this morning unplugged from the charge and did a 30 min videocall via Whatsapp and dropped to 78%. Is that normal. WTH IS WRONG? This is making me NUTS!!!
Hi, I think - your brother is not guilty, because i have same problem with Redmi 3 too long time. After one year and half from day to day -ups- and battery life is in deep ****. I try every ROM - MIUI 7/8/9, lineage ROMs. MoKee, everything, but old stamina battery life did not return. Now battery is empty after few hours and I don´t think she is so ruined ... I have suspect producer from some planned battery life error after some times, because than you must buy new model.... Either way, I did not find solution
Now I have Redmi 5A, but ii is very cheap phone, not so good like ido in any case...
Howdy! A few weeks ago I noticed on my phone that the battery did not last as long as before. I said it would be from the software and I decided to reinstall it. First, I switched to a custom ROM (Pixel Experience) and there the battery life was even worse. Then I went back to stock ROM and it seemed to work better, but the battery was still discharging too fast.
I put an application for measuring battery life (AccuBattery) that told me that my battery (one year old) was at 79% life (3100 mAh). I replaced the battery with a new one. Surprise! And with the new battery still at 79% life it says it is. And the same 3100 mAh maximum capacity. I tried all kinds of methods, all kinds of custom ROMs and it all works the same. What could it be? Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks!
Nope. No issues with mine. You said you changed the battery, so you opened the device? I'm not inclined with HW too much, but since you've tried the most drastic solution software wise (flashing custom and MIUI ROM) then it could be a hardware issue by this point.
Again, not a hardware guy, but maybe there is a loose wiring or connection (to the battery) or maybe a short-circuit. If you need further help maybe ask help from a repair guy. But that's just my take (possible hardware issue)
