Battery Life

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.

Please Refer firmware which battery live longer!

ROM - Energy.KOVSKY.21892.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Feb.26 .7z
22 hours

Spikes Unoff kovsky 1.5 is by far the best windows mobile 6.5 rom for battery usage. A full charge lasts me atleast 2 days ( for moderate usage ) .

Oobly's Phoenix ROM WM6.1 with manilla 2.1
well, when I'm in school I recharge my phone every night with every ROM because I use wlan/3G and listen music a lot.. the battery sometimes remains at about 50% but anyway, better recharge it than the phone turns off next day.
Now I'm home for few weeks and the battery last for 4 days and it still had 48%.. in that time I sent/recived about 50 sms, talked at least 10 minutes used internet (wifi / 3g) to just see what's new on facebook and update weather (then I recharged it because I wanted to flash it.. but I didn't xD ) so that means with this ROM you have at least 5 days battery life if you don't use wlan to much. With 6.5 ROMs you won't have good battery life.. so I recomend you 6.1 and this one from oobly is bugless and stable, a lot of eyecandy too and it's fast and smooth (this is what you won't get with wm6.5 ROMs). I recomend it.. he also have a version with manilla 2.5 but it doesn't support landscape, he's working on a new version thoug =P

Spikes Unoff kovsky X1.5....2-4 days for me, depends on phone use.
Best regards!

This does not have TF3D right? What do you use for accessing programs / emails / texts, etc.... SPB panel?
Also is it fast?
I might switch to this rom purely to improve battery consumption, however I have only really used TF3D for the past year.

I prefer roms from MrRusch (or the former Smaberg) They're roms can easily go for 3-5 days max.
MrRusch latest creation is with WildChild => Untamed2, but it's a bit buggy.
So I would recommend their previous project => Untamed 1.3.
It's the official 6.5 rom (with start on the top) with Manila/Sense 2.1 & it doesn't eat a lot of your ram ;-)

spike's X1.5 ..much has been said.. this is my 3rd day with 20% left.. i made calls.. messages.. wifi.. include games hehehe.. depends on how you use.. additional to its "Advance Config" "cleanRAM" "SDtuneup".. for me it works while it boosts and lasts

Also you might check 826x series...

This firmware is really good!
I use it already full 2 days and the battery total of 50%.
3 - 4 days battery missing, and it is 3-4 times better than the previous firmware which lasted only 24 hours

Only 826X ROM
826X, fast ROM & good battery life (826X Without HTC Sense)

yeah 826X roms are really good, both in terms of graphics and performance , the cook is a bit shy though , doesnt promote his roms here on xperia section, have to go to his blog to see .

fr my experience
any rom without manila has better power consumption than with manila
any rom without eye candy stuff better than with eye candy stuff
so along with this theory
you can find what you want

[Q] Looking for the most battery efficient rom/kernel combo

I am going to be traveling in Asia for a month. I don't need any of bells and whistles and I want a phone that is very stable, very energy efficient and GPS camera definitely has to works. Which rom/kernel will you recommend? any setting tricks? Thanks
I have tried Rod's MiuiMod, CM6.1.1, CM7 and many others.
I found that CM7 + WM 1/6/2011 kernel gives me the best battery life, but CM7 is still not in stable stage yet.

I have had the most battery life with Enomthers Rom, currently he is away on personal responsibilities but his latest stable rom is very battery efficient!

I have no recommendation as to kernel/rom combinations, but for long battery life I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-Battery-Google-Replacement/dp/B003FSTBP4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1296521084&sr=8-2
I got really tired of barely making through a day without having to recharge so I bought one of these. I got mine for $61 on Amazon and free shipping. It's 3200mah which is over twice the stock battery. My first full charge/discharge cycle I got over 34 hours of moderate usage and it's supposed to get better after a few charge cycles. It does make your phone about 30-40% thicker (comes with it's own custom battery cover), but for the battery life you get it's well worth the added thickness. I also find it's a little easier to hold on to.
Anyway, maybe not the solution you're looking for but for me it was well worth the money.
Just my 2 cents.

That's one big battery Thanks tho, but I want my N1 to stay small.

I second the recommendation for Enomther's. Rock-stable.

I have no combo recommendation cuz I haven't found a really good one yet. Right now I'm using cm6.1 and wild monks kernel. It's been decent for me. But I suggest using set cpu, put on power save mode when you don't use the phone. It'll be there forever. Turn off data connection and gps as well. Also using less like half the animation helps speed up the phone and saves battery too.
Ps I'm combining inexus theme too and their icons plus the animations are amazing! My phone looks colorful as hell!

Lol yea it does add some bulk but it sure is reassuring to know I don't have worry about my battery dying before the day is over. I use my phone a lot and don't have time to really recharge it much and I don't like the idea of carrying extra batteries so this works very well for me.

I haven't done too many Roms, but miui has given me the most battery life out of stock, cm and miui.
I've been travelling and I managed to get 4-5 days with minimal calls and very light usage. If you use it normally with wifi and regular calls, 2-3 days is usually the limit.
Both these numbers are with auto airplane mode during my sleep hours.

What i have heard is that CM7 is 20-30% more efficient with battery life than CM6

That really is a personal opinion.

In my personal opinion, CM7 Nightlies are really stable. After a real heavy usage i.e. playing games, surfing, calls, messages, i get about 15 hours a day.
My phone is fully charged when I leave at 8 and by 8 pm battery will be somewhere between 40 and 45 % left.
Bugs are there with CM7 Nightlies but so far I haven't had any problems with it.

Recently I've been through about 3 roms, and of the three (rod's, micromod's own GB aosp, and leo's GB aosp, leo's gives me the best battery life.
It might be because he incorporated the battery driver, though.

Rom with the best battery life

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
CM + AOSP = DABIZZNIZ

I would like to know what's your measure of "best" battery life?

try using aosp - jaybob's rom, best rom with battery life, used it pretty heavily and got 15 hours

My measure of best battery life is not losing 10% of my batery life doing nothing. I remember when my battery would be be at 40% I go to sleep wake up and its about 30%, now its dead by the time I wake up

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)

i believe you are correct, if you got it from the download section of rom manager, its the same one, ben using for a while now, no FCs no issues. smooth and pretty fast too
