I've just noticed that my battery isn't lasting as long as it used to..i got my tilt in october '08 so its relatively new. anyway, i remember the battery would run 3-4 days minimum with some usage before needing to be recharged.
i'm currently running athineos (wm6.5 - fresh install) and i noticed that after about 30 minutes of being unplugged, it is already down to 97 percent battery. is my battery going out? or could it be that the radio version installed isn't that great with the battery (running 1.71). if so, i will try to flash some other radios tonight
edit: actually, i take that back, it appears to remain stable at 97% for an hour now
I have the same problem with Athineos 6.5?
Did you find any solution for this?
the kaiser is designed to run on WM6.0 and WM6.1 the chefs over at the ROM developing did a great job of making WM6.5 ROMs but the battery won't last as long because WM6.5 is a lot more memory/processor/power intensive as well as TF3D. my kaiser's battery lasted about a day with TF3D but now after I made my own WM6.1 ROM with only HTC Home my battery has lasted 2 1/2 days. count yourself lucky for your battery lasting so long. It is about time for the battery to begin running down after you got it. It typically takes 3-6 months
And also ive seen different radios have different effects on battery life to.

Yea, i'm using 1.70.19 right now and it seems to last much longer. its been 3 hours now and it has only lost 3 percent of the battery.. sitll using AthineOS 6.5
oh just to add, i was on Hyperdragon III (WM6.1) before this with the 1.65 and 1.71 radio when i had the bad battery life. it seems like 1.70.19 is working alot better!
I'm using the 6.1 stock rom. I made a call for 25 min and sent 4 text messages and my battery life dropped from 100% to 82%..Does my battery have issues?

Thats probably a reason why your battery dropped so fast. although it shouldn't drop that fast

Make sure your brightness is 25%, that helps alot
I'm having a battery problem also!
I just use my phone for calling and calendar/agenda.
I can't get it last for one complete day, at the end of the day he disconnets due low battery. I have my bright at 50% and still have this problem.
How can i optimize my phone, and/or check if there is any application installed consuming high battery?
Thanks!

Well, it depends of the usage you give to the phone. For me, with energyrom oct 28 2.1 rom, my battery last for about 6 days but i use the phone very little time, only about 2h of conversation, 20m GPS, 20m wi-fi and 30 sms in the entire week.
From my experience ROMs from onkolog have the best battery life.
Threads like these are generally frowned upon by XDA as they create endless long threads as most people will have different views and loyalties to certain roms/chefs. For these reasons I will close this thread.
However, generally speaking wm6.1, manila 2.1 & lite roms should out perform wm6.5, manila 2.5 & heavy roms in battery life.

Hi there,
I'm currently using Miniterror's Ravage Full and i'm quite stunned by how little power is being used. I charge my phone every night religiously but after 17 hours, with 3G active, permanent internet connection, auto Facebook/Twitter/Weather/Stocks/email downloads it was at 62%. That includes text messaging, Garmin, video recording and phone calls. I honestly thought the battery meter was false.
Try it, it's incredible!

Its not true about NRG ROMs because all depends from the Build and Manila im using 21898 build Manila 2.1 Sense and with Normal take.. shooting pictures, some WiFi usage and watchin videos i have always minimum 4 days battery sometimes even more.

I agree, with normal usage , the phoenix version does last atleast 3 days.....( then again it also depends upon how old ur phone battery is , battery recharge efficiency decreases with time anyways ).

My phone is maybe the one of the Oldest one here i buy my Blackstone imideately when was out on the market and there was very hard to find it so i buy 2 Blackstones and wait around 10 days they to arrive because they was not still avalible. Like i say this mean its more than 2 years old i use it non stop everyday and my batt with Super usage 3-4 days is normal.. of course with diferent ROM`s ones when i try diferen ROM i had around 24 hrs only battery lol for this reason from long time i use only Phoenix
I'm using NRG's latest Sense 2.5 WM6.5 build and battery life is nothing short of stunning.
Best battery life of all the ROMs I've used.

From the responses its obvious that all roms drain or don't drain as much or less as each other...
Energy always has his roms setup from fresh with 3G on and backlight on full not auto adjusted, turn these two off and you get a significant improvement on battery life.
Then you have to give the rom well over 24 hours chance before testing the battery drain, also most of our Touch HD's unless you have a new replacement battery are going to start suffering battery degrade in one way or the other...
Answer is no roms are better or worse than each other...
Hve a look at:

NRG ROMs with Sense 2.1 Are called PHOENIX 2 but now because the original Phoenix Thread is closed you can find this ROM in nergy Series.
The best builds and bug free are 21XXX now i use the Build from my signature and is super ROM that have only ONE BUG you cannot add new contact from the Manila DIALER but this is not a big problem for me for this reason i still use this BUILD also if you want Without any BUG i can tell you witch Build of that ROM is really free of Bugs.
Energy.BLACKSTONE.21891.Phoenix2_04.Feb.2010 this ROM is free of bugs the diference with my ROM 21898 30 March is that i like more tha lates Dialer who had the COntact image always on the center of the screen and in 30march Build are coocked the latest APP like Opera 10 and so on..
If its not problem for you this bug that you cannot add new contact from the dialer then with sure you need to flash with 21898 30 March build sense 2.1
I run Energy, I used Phoenix in the past but now I have Leo installed and the battery life is good. With Manila 2.1 interface and Win 21891 battery lasts longer, but I run manila 2.5 and Win 23554 and it still lasts a couple of days without recharging (I use 3G, check e-mail for 4 different accounts, use TomTom...).
Hope this helps in your choice.
Hi farkah, what does nueDynamicClock do? I read the descripsion but it doen't mention anything about battery usage. Did you install that nueDynamicClock and get your HTC HD run for 7 days straight?

I've tried...
set the clock speed to 380 Mhz, so let's see the difference...
that's a nice app!!!!!
congrats!
so you mean that App is sto set the speed of the clock? so you mean using a lower speed clock will eventually reduce the battery usage? Could you please report back when you have testd your theory tasty_boy?

Hey guys,
I've been wondering around for a while, and I've pretty much read every single FAQ and major ROM development threads...
But I was wondering if anybody found a "best" ROM for battery!
I've tried a few, and found that Cognition seems to drain the battery pretty quickly... Phoenix 4.5 seemed to last quite a while, but the new 5.2 seems to drain it quite quick now again!
I don't really care if my phone's slow in some parts, but I'd really like it if I could extend the battery even by a little bit... I work 8 hours a day, and my phone has no battery after I finish work (which seems extremely absurd).
I've also tried to do the battery hints and tips in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806211 with no luck...
If anybody can give me a yell on the ROM they found which lasts the longest... It would be pretty awesome!
TIA!
P.S. Also, if somebody can just give me a quick run down on the difference between ROMs/Kernels/Modems? I'm just curious, and would like to know more!
Im using ParagonRC6.0 And Im getting great battery life and i use my phone alot. I get a day and half off a full charge with a lot of use. If i use it moderate then i can get 2 full days. Just let your battery recalibrate for a couple of days to improve battery life
Ive been on Cog4 (didnt change anything) and under normal use (maybe 1-2 phone calls a day, no more than 5 mins long, 15-30 txts, and iMobster stuff) i get around 24-36 hours. Overnite while sleeping (7-8 hours) i lose about 5-10%.
While on Serendipity 5.7 (with suckerpunch kernel and jk4 modem) i get 20-30hours. And overnite i lose 10-15%.
Precision 3.5 gave me the best battery life I have ever had. I was able to go over 25 hours on a single charge with heavy use nearly all day.
Edit: I haven't used Torch yet for a full day, but I will be testing the single charge on this ROM as well and posting my results once my Captivate get's to a about %5 battery.
The ROMs that have best battery life are precision 3.5 or Merx rom (which is based off Precision)...the slim ROMs usually run very low memory which is a lot less stressful on your battery...Right now I'm running Supernova 2.3 and I can go 12-15 hours before my battery is completely dead and I'm a moderate to heavy user (facebook, XDA, youtube, etc.)
Thanks a lot guys, I'll try Paragon first... And also Precision! So many ROMs to try :3
Does Kernels/Modems do anything for battery life? I have no idea how these work though... If someone can explain it, that'd be rad!

If anything, I believe that the kernel and modem are the most important aspect of battery life. I wouldn't know too much about it, so maybe someone else can elaborate.
Which ROM is the best considering Battery live ?
Thanks.
There is a real nice chart in the captivate general forum thread called battery showdown, still a work in progress, but a good place to start.

So far Twingerbread has had great battery life. Plus it works really well.
I'm very happy with Andromeda 1.2.
see my signature ... i got more than 24+ hours for a single charge.
the best i can have is 3days with supernova and suckerpunch kernal OCed at 1200, but with light use (almost 2 hours of screen on and about an half hour of voice call)

I don't believe that for a second. Captivate 2.1 Stock loses 15% battery just from cell activity over about 6 hours. And a half hour voice call would suck up about another 30%

That is pretty insane. Are you UC/UVing the crap out of the ROM too? I'm running Precision 3.5 and I get at MOST 28-29 hours a single charge but I'm a moderate to heavy user. Maybe if I was a light user I may squeeze another 5-10 hours i suppose...but nothing like yours...

I am going to decond that, since I am a moderate to heavy user as well. However, i would like to put in a good word for DG's Cognition 4.1.1. Battery time is better than most that I have seen.........except in my case (having power issues with my suckerpunch kernel at the moment).

I've been using Juiced 2.1 for a few days. Very happy with battery life and speed. I get about 27 hours in standby.
I have only used a few roms (various versions of cog, percep, androm, paragon and twinger) over the last couple of months and my best so far is twinger. I don't use custom kernals or modems or whatever, as it is uploaded is how I use it. I keep everything enabled and updating, have plenty of widgets and 100+ apps. Heavy/Moderate/Light, not only is it relative I don't waste time worrying about it. The most important thing for me is to use my phone as it was meant to be used without all the fussing over settings and make it through every day no matter the useage and no matter how early or late I get home and the only one to last longer than me has been twinger. I rarely use GPS because no matter what I have used, it sucks, even plum bobs fix, freakin samsuck!

Using Dilligaf's 7.0.1
Stats in screenshots
35% left after over 1 day 7 hours
Still on the replacement battery I got in Sep '10.
Why do people dwell on battery usage? Use the phone lightly and there isn't much usage. Use it more and there's more usage. Have GPS, WiFi, updates, etc running non-stop and it drains even faster.
During the week with fairly low usage, I recharge every night with between 60 to 70% remaining. Then from Fri morning at 700 am until Sun evening at 1100 pm (64 hours) it'll be down around 20% remaining. BECAUSE I rarely use it on weekends, GPS off, auto-rotation off, WiFi off, no texting/email, maybe 1 or 2 phone calls.
Been roughly the same with all three ROMS I've been on (Andromeda, then Di11i's, now Darky's 9.3 Extreme)
Even though it is still beta, I seem to have the best battery life with CM7 and TheEscapist's kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz and UV'ed. Gingerbread should use less battery life than Froyo so maybe this shouldn't be a surprise.
60% after 17:25, moderate usage. Cognition 4.1.1 with Speedmod's K13c and KP1. Animated screen saver, gmail synching, a bit more than three hours of onscreen time, including surfing, music player and games.
This is so different from Cog 3.02 and earlier, when I was lucky to squeeze out 16 hours total, and the phone burned 10% of the charge in 5 hours when idle. Now it burns 1-2% when idle, and KP1 seems to burn a bit less battery when I'm actively using the phone than JK4 did. And, oh, yeah: everything works! I couldn't be more pleased.
I don't know If this thread has already been created if so please direct me to that thread.
So I used to think CM6 had the best battery life so I flashed 6.1.0 but not much battery life change so im starting to think that maybe it was actually cm 6.0.0 that had best battery life but im unable to find it so I can test it. So im here asking you all what Rom has brought you the best battery life to your cdma hero no matter if its 2.2 or 2.3

don't need to flash the kernel since it's already in the rom. Just do a full wipe and bam ! I'm actually trying the latest one (june-08) but the june 4 version gave me that 15 hour
personally i have found that the rom you choose itself doesnt really matter, its more about your personal usage, i.e what apps u have running, cpu settings, etc. i usually get around 15-20 hours battery life with pretty heavy mp3 use, lots of texting, and about two hours or so actually on the phone. but i make sure i leave data/wifi/gps etc. off unless i need it. also, its a good idea to check and stop apps that automatically load with the phone that you dont need. imho the only roms that seem to drain the battery quicker are the sense based ones, at least from my own experience.

I was thinking about starting a new thread about this, but you are explaining EXACTLY what I am going through. I wake up today (after leaving my phone charging at night) and turn on my phone, and first thing I see is an 80% battery (this is a normal occurance). After literally doing NOTHING on it all day (except for a 30 minute call) it turns off by itself at 20%.... after 8 hours. So while I got 2 hours better than you, keep in mind that I did virtually nothing. What is worse about it is i'm supposedly using the "best rom" for battery life (AOSP 2.2. + battery tweak).
I've wiped battery stats (after reading the correct way to do it) and checked the health of my batter (reads as "good") and i'm still clueless. I'm wondering if I should even waste my money on a battery and hope that's it? I've only had the phone exactly a year and about a week so I'de be disappointed to know the battery lasts this short. I remember being on another froyo ROM (with the battery tweak) using it more than I am now going to bed anywhere between 30 and 50% which is about where it's at at lunch time now! I can't believe that i'm actually ok with the performance of my hero, it's just the battery that's killing me now !
And I plan on staying away from the GB ROMS until they get the GPS issue resolved. Let's just say that I was in Colorado a couple of weeks ago and my phone failed when I need it to work.... flashed froyo almost immediately when I got back (that's another topic)
