Hello,
I recently got my nexus, and rooted only two days after receiving it. I installed cyanogen's latest. I am getting low battery; in only 5 or so minutes, the percentage goes down by at least 2 percent (while using). I looked to see what may have been draining the battery, and found that the display alone was using 62% to 75% of my battery. I tried undervolting, but the display seemed to still be in the same draining range...
Is this a hardware related problem, or is this a common nexus thing?

same here, really starting to piss me off when i see people talking about 70% battery at the end of the day while my phone dies in 6 hours
Cyan?
Woah, I think this might actually be cyan's Rom.
I flash enomther's rom and i got display percentage at around 15-16% ...
I think cyan will look into this soon enough...
But for now... I guess I'm gonna wipe... :/ and stick to enom's or some other ROM...

C´mon....see my signature!
More than 10h now, Wifi on all the time -> 70% battery
This is not that bad

I think the problem is only with a few people, but I know others are experiencing this. This might be something with the "latest" nexi. But idk, it's a mutual issue, a fix should be coming
Probably you are right...
But, I would like to know, what settings peolple use: like updating wheater every hour, emails, widgets,..ham many apps are running and so on, ... perhaps connected to...sometimes people dont even know that
Edit: I got my Nex in january.
The change in the display usage percentage is just due to the way the powermanager works. Its not using more battery, its just displaying how much power it is using more accurately.
have the same problem.
100% airplane mode ON no WIFI, in 5 hours 72% battery remains . (PHONE IDLE took most of this - my G1 could go 1 month with this settings)
IN 12 hours in was 6% and with LOW use of my N1.
Yesterday I removed numbers in my battery and it was a litle better, not much but a little. (about 8% better)
I had 5.0.5.1, 2 and 3 and everyone had the same problem!
CM please take a look at this. What do you need any LOG info or something!
Have you tried wiping battery stats, then charging to 100% with it off, then booting into recovery and wiping battery stats again, then charging to 100%? The few times I've had battery issues that's taken care of it for me.
I flashed cyan again with a wipe (again), but got the same thing.
On enom's rom, I get beastly battery. I think we just have to wait for a fix for the people who are affected.

Do you need root to wipe battery stats? how do you do it?
Well I did the wipe battery about 3 times and in OS it was already green light 93% full.
I WIPED and put the power in on NON POWERED PHONE. It took 1 hour more to come to the green light . than I wiped again and went to boot up.
at 11PM i had 100% battery went into airplane mode wifi OFF.
And i did one other thing. Some of you had the battery drain issue with trackball wake. So I disable it.
7 hours of this and I got 97% - beautiful
before that I had 72% so there is a difference.
Now I have to see if the wakeup trackball is the cause of this or the wiping the battery stats.
Will eliminate one and other and keep you posted
I took my phone off the charger at 4:30am and the next day at 5:30 am i had 12% battery left. i used my phone a total of 3 times. most of the time it was on standby. i have setcpu with my phone UV and UC to try to save battery with profiles set up. in battery information 85% of the phones battery went to cell standby. Any suggestions on how to improve this?
Try wakeup trackball OFF in spare parts and battery % OFF in upper taskbar.
I have now from 100% to 59% in 7 hours. wifi ON all the time.
I have tried to wipe battery settings and charge fully with the phone off, but after the full procedure, I still get the same end result. I attached a picture of my battery usage.
Im pretty sure i saw a post online about the newer nexus's that were released having a better display. If this is true then wouldn't the phone's hardware alone be using more battery?
I can confirm I am having the same problem. I wasn't sure until I checked battery usage overnight. It used to be that with my phone on airplane mode I would use about 2% while I slept. Now, it's 9 or 10% with "Phone Idle" taking the lion's share of it.
I have tried deleting batterystats.bin after a full charge; powering off (while on charger); charging up to full again, but this has not solved the problem.
A few notes:
When the phone is idle (but not in airplane mode) it uses about 1.5% per hour (compared to about 1.1% in airplane mode)
I am using setcpu profiles to keep cpu usage right down when idle
Around the same time I upgraded to 5.0.5.3 I also started using the himem version of fastboot. And yes, if you suspect I don't know what I'm talking about here, you are quite right
For my next trick, I will try resetting battery statistics via recovery. What fun!
I've kept the cyan rom, and changed some settings to increase battery life. I turned off the battery percentage icon, and turned off the trackball to wake. I still got that the display was using a lot, but the battery still lasted pretty good. I guess there isn't too big of a problem on my side. It probably is the "newer displays" on the "newer" nexi. Maybe there really isnt a big problem
I changed now from CM to Enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 1.8.1 and battery now works great.
I unplugged the charger at 12.00 am at midnight and with quite good use, not extremely havey but a good use I had 30% battery left at 20:00 (08:00PM) that day.
I lost only 2% from midnight to 7:00AM in my airplane mode and with Gmail check 10 min of phone calls wifi ON all the time checking web pages and showing off my live wallpapper at my work I had at noon (12.00PM) 70% battery left!
I LIKE IT!
now I'm thinking to push Kernel - .32 & .33 to see if there is any change with my battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653598
After resetting battery stats in recovery, I still lost about 10% overnight while on airplane mode.
For my next trick, I'll use a task killer like "Process Manager"* to keep everything unnecessary switched off overnight. Maybe I'll be able to narrow it down to an application if it's not something integral to the actual ROM.
*Yes, I know it will use up the battery too
I recently installed Serendipity and made sure the battery was at 100% while doing so (and deleted the battery file). I'm waiting for the battery to drain before I plug it in. Am i supposed to let it charge all the way again? Also, is it safe to reboot the phone while it is draining the first time? I want to install something using clockwork.
I'm being careful about this because cognition would report 14% battery life after 33 minutes of display usage and display eating up 96% of my battery....

There's a complete thread on this, I suggest you look it up.
After you reset your battery stats, it is suggested to do a few full battery circle (use til dead, full charge, rince and repeat). You should be fine after 2-3 circles.
Note tho that it will not improve your battery life. All it does is a attempt to tell your phone what % your battery life is exactly.
For your fast drain, I don't think it has anything to do with your battery calibration or your ROM. It's most likely a app (or a few) that are draining alot of juice or that are running w/o realy being needed. (Check your running services.. make sure you know which one to stop and not to***)
Also using a app/widget like advanced task killer can help your battery life as it will stop every app running with a simple touch. I suggest doing it anything you're not using your phone.
One last thing, display eating 96% of your battery is normal.. it's not telling you it's using 96% of your battery. It's telling you that during the time your phone as been unplugged, your display use was your main action.. probably cause you didn't make many calls or anything else.. Display is just about everything you do with your phone so it will always have some high numbers like that.

Yeah, I've seen the thread before but forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. And my point about the display was that it was on for such a short amount of time, yet still killing my battery.
I am now down to 30% or so after 3 hours or more of display time after calibration & rom switch- and I was streaming music through WiFi and using Bluetooth headphones. So it it seems like it made a huge difference =D
Thanks
Hello all,
I'm having a weird battery problem and am not sure if it is software or hardware. Basically, I have charged and it will last about halfway through the day. I'll look at it and between 50-55% of battery life it will turn off and go dead. I'll turn it back on and the battery is at 0% - no warning or anything. I have to then charge it back up and it seems to take a while from 0-25% and then it will skip to 90% and finish charging to a 100%. I've tried several different roms and all are giving me the same problem - currently on oxygen 2.3.7
How old is your battery, and is it a stock battery?
You may want to calibrate your battery. There is an app on the market that is specific for the N1 and instructions for it can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9583271&postcount=340
It isn't the easiest thing to do, but if you do have a decent battery (some cheaper knockoffs don't have support of figuring out your battery age), it can get your phone to properly detect your age of your battery and show the correct stats for it.
As for it dying half-way through the day... have you checked to see if apps are chewing up your battery time? If they aren't, it may be time to get a new battery anyway.

It is the stock battery I got when I got my phone in May of 2010, so I can expect to be not as a good as a new battery but it's bothering me that i can't have a an accurate reading on how much battery I have left. I feel like I have half a battery left and then all of the sudden it will die. I'll try the calibration and see what that does. I don't think its apps because I've flash and reflashed my phone and never have many apps as a result
Is anyone having this problem as well with their HD7?
I had my phone hooked up to my laptop last night recharging it and this morning I see that it is down to 32% already.
I know everyone was saying this phone wasn't that good on battery life but holy crap it cant be that bad!
Is this on my side or does the phone really burn through battery life? Oh and I"m running Deepshining.
Im running deepshining too, the phone drains battery but not that fast.
You might have following turned on
- Location
- 3G
- Data
- Wifi
If you turn these off, and em on as and when needed, the battery timing will be increased greatly.
Hope this helps
Thanks...I know it shouldnt have been that fast.
Can you perhaps tell me where to get into the comm manager? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Also, bear in mind, the charge current from the Laptop USB port will not be very high, and certainly will not charge the device to the same standard as the wall charger...
Just took off my phone from the charger at 100% and it says i only have 10 hrs of battery life 12 if I have it on battery saver.
IS this normal?!?! It seems so low.

i had to re caliberate my battery after the mango....
How does one recalibrate it? Sorry for so many questions its just on this phone almost everything is hidden.
Hello, it's me again with problems. I have an extremely battery drain, even Juice Deffender can't handle on this. When I put the phone on charger, when he turns off after 0 % battery status, indicator shows me 50 % min after only few seconds on charger, and it's fully charged for half an hour maybe. When I turn on 3g and connect to Net, from 100 % to 0% is ONLY 15 min ?!?! I have cm-7-20120812-NIGHTLY-cooper ROM, but when I had offical 2.3.6, it was the same problem. Can I check some-how what is the problem- software, calibration or battery? I did a few calibration without any success. I'm really sorry on my very bad English. I will be grateful if anybody can redirect me on the right topic. Thanks in advance
3G eats a huge battery. I would not expect anything nice from it. But seems that your problem is a bit more problematic. How long do you have your phone?
Make sure you are charging your phone until its actually full not just when it says 100% look here for more details:

Did you try wiping battery stats in CWM or recalibrating it?
I've tried wipe stats with Battery Calibration, and with CWM wipe battery stats. I've tried different ROMs, DroidACE, official 2.3.6, cooper nightly ROMs, and all of them have same problem. I've noticed that the battery is a little thicker in the middle, before it was flat, and now is a little convex in the middle. I've tried also discharging and charging for a 5+ hours, didn't help me. literally be emptied by 20 min of Use

Sheesh guys. Battery Calibration doesn't affect battery life on your phone. It's just for accurate readings -_-"

Yeah man, Ive got the same problem.
If I charge it for about 3-4 Hours, I get a max of 5 Mins or so, with Wi-fi on.
When the Battery is about 10%, and I put it to charge, It immediately says 99% charged.
I've changed 2 roms, and still no effect, infact, its got worse.
Even Juice defender (even the ultimate version) dosent work, Not even Underclocking.
I saw the battery recalibrating thing and Ive wiped the battery stats, still no use.
I think there's a problem with the battery itself?
Im just sick of it.

I also think that the battery itself has a problem, not any ROM. I'll go to service for a few days and I'll tell you about what was the problem.

If it's deformed, then your battery's life is over, that's it, get a new one.
You can try the freezing method to try and squeeze it for a bit of juice:
Charge to 100, Plastic wrap, in the freezer for maybe an hr (not too long), take it out, put it in your phone, charge it till it says fully charged, turn on your phone and check duration.
seems a deep sleep issue
Just abuy a new battery. I suggest a Anker branded one. Search a battery review topic at the Accesoires section. If you buy the Anker 1400mAh, your battery life will be even better than the original battery life. And Anker is trusted and cheap.

I listened to your advice and bought a new battery, now I'll see what was the problem, battery or maybe hardware/ROM. I'm charging it now. Any advice how to charge new battery? Advice for scripts or ROMs? I'm going to use nightly cooper cm 7.2 and juice deffender. What about cm9 and this model?

Since we're in 2012, I'm guessing it's a lithium ion battery.
Just plug it in and wait for some time (~15 minutes)after it reaching 100% to actually fully charge.
It would be best if you don't let it discharge below 20-30%.
Read more about lithium ion batteries by searching around the web for more info.

So, How did it go?
Was there a problem in the battery?
or, is something wrong in the phone?
there was a problem in battery, I bought a new battery, not Samsung, but also has 1350 mAh capacity, and it's 2nd time on charging, life is about 2 days of using, average 2-3 h 3g, and playing games, half hour voice and maybe 30 sms and mails, and for me this is a very huge improvement from 15 minutes before death battery. Cheers, sorry again on my bad English

But Im still getting a new battery
anyone knows why phone's display blink-up randomly? I saw that earlier, and I thought that was because of battery, but obviously, wasn't that. It's totaly random. And, I have another question, I've played with *#*#4636#*#* code, and sometimes phone can't receive or sent messages, except when preffered network type is GSM only and only after turning on and again off airplane mode. I have cooper cm 7.2 newest nightly ROM.

I had the same issue when I was using Elegant white by TAZ.
But Then I flashed a fix for it.
I suggest you should too get in touch with the dev.
But first, flash the rom again.

Thank you. Anyone knows where is the official topic for cm 7.2 nightly cooper? I found one topic in development section, but at the end of it someone wrote that topic is closed on developer's request. And where I can find changelog? I saw that there is newest nightly update from 19.8. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=cooper
