Additionally, what do people feel is the best way to run Collins battery tweak
I am running cm 6 rc1

Something else is killing your battery, that's just telling you the % of it while the phone is turned on. Download spare parts and see what it is.... as far as collins batt tweak I used 768mhz and get 90+ hours
I have spare parts...what kinds of things should I be looking for

partial wake usage, gps usage, network usage... see which apps are staying on the longest, TiKL was murdering my battery
Under network usage something with just a 0 in it is 99% blue....idk what that is

Anything showing a high % under "partial wake usage?"
Also, I use "Dimmer" form the market to keep my screen brightness down. I set it all the way down (using quick settings shortcut) for when I am inside and when I go outside or into a bright room I have it set to increase to 25% when I toggle the dimmer shortcut on my home screen. I thought the auto-brightness was making it higher than it needs to be in most cases.
Everything seems low under partial wake usage...

Here, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762139
Seems like many others are reporting bad battery loss from CM6 -- looks like it has something to do with the display...it might not be properly "sleeping" even if the screen is off. Don't know if there's a fix yet but that other thread at least has some useful information in it.
I'm having a hard with my battery. I just can't make it last more than 6 to 7 hours. Im trying everything. Can anyone post some advices please.

I was having issues until I did the following......(and I am on the same build as you)
Go into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache. Reboot.
Set the automatic screen tweak under CM settings/user interface
These two things have seemed to make a pretty big difference. I am not running any tweaks or anything and with moderate use (some wifi, 10-15 emails, 4-5 texts, gmail sync) I am at 89% after three hours off the charger. While this isn't great (IMO) it is lots better than I have been getting. Hope that helps.
I had the same issue, but with only 3 hours of life between full charges, and one phone call for 15 mins.
I reverted back to 8/24.
Smolck you mean the automatic back light right?
I wiped kalvic cache... ill see how it goes without batt tweak and no apps running.

Yea. I just set it to what I thought were "power saving" settings. It seems the Dalvik cache is what did the main thing to help. All I can say is that I am still over 80% and I have been off charge since 7:00am CST. And this 8/25 build is SMOKING fast on my phone
It is fast. Its even faster with launcher pro.
Are you using the batt tweak? Which kernel?
Down from 55% to 50% in 75min

Stock kernel (what comes with the .zip) and no tweak.
Can someone do an analysis of my current battery usage and tell me what I need to do? Me hero won't even last half a day.

That screenshot isn't enough info. But go to settings/about phone/battery use and you will get a better idea of what is using the most power.
From 100 to 90% in 2 1/2 hours now. That's pretty good right? Stock 8/25 kernel w no tweak. If it keeps working ill backup and add other stuff and see
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well I think its fixed. Managed 13 hours and still 35% left using Google maps and Pandora plus regular use. Running the same configuration.

Change 'other usage' to 'partial wake usage' and see what's keeping the phone up.

use system panel and see which processes and apps are using your cpu. its a free app, but the paid version gives you much more options and shows you a list of each app that used your cpu. that's what you need.
btw, system panel is by far the best app for this on the market!

What ROM and Kernel are you on and how long ago did you flash to it (assuming it's a custom ROM)?
Reason I ask is that I had sleep issues with a ROM that was fine but somehow didn't flash well. Reflashing the same ROM over fixed my battery issues. This might not be what's going on with you just any bit of info can help when it comes to chasing down ghost CPU cycles/battery issues.
Also, did you recalibrate you battery yet? It could be an issue of your battery not getting charged to 100% or dying before <1%
Ok cool I just downloaded the free version do you think I should buy the paid version better?

Hi! I have cyanogem mod 6.1
0 running kernel 2.6.35
9 cyanogenmod shade @ toxygene #2
I flashed a while ago but it seemed ok then. I'm not 100 percent sure but it kinda seems the problem started when I did a backup and a restore. ;(

I'm getting a headache ;(
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
This is getting really annoying... battery gets charged to 100%, drops slowly then after <50% the phone starts to get hot and just start dying rather quick. I have changed batteries, actually bought a new one - still having the prob. I think i know the culprit but not sure how to attack it. Unfortunately because of my post count, i can't upload a link to the screenshot
!!! HELP !!! :crying:
Well...tell us what u think the culprit is, plz.
And more info from ya would help.
What Rom are u running, Overclocking, Undervolting, etc. Thx.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid v.2.50 | Devil Kernel 3.0.31 | Modem I9000ZSJPG (which is rumored to give excellent battery life)
No overclocking or undervolting - don't really mess with those things.
Anyway, when i check battery usage "Media" always use the most when i notice the phone start loosing battery life n running hot. There is a time when i saw Media at 88% while everything incl. screen was less than 20%.
...maybe a rogue app or something syncing constantly ??

highly doubt it... even after flashing and letting the phone sit idle wit no apps install - i get the same prob :/
You probably have com.Android.Media process running all the time..
I had the same with all recent kernels until I have reformatted my both SD cards internal and external.
Media scanner should be out of running processes after five minutes after boot.
I check them via terminal from :
top -m 10
command
Or
busybox top
In five minutes after boot I have almost zero CPU usage from top statistics
Hope it could help you

For the drain you can monitor which program keep your CPU wake with wakelock detector.
And what about the usagr details error?

don't think theres anything wrong with your phone. The usage screen shows two things: app usage and other usage, afaik the app usage only shows how much of the battery is used by different apps (android system, viber, youtube, etc) and other usage shows usage related to network, and since youre in airplane mode, it doesnt have anything to show under that category.
Try using a couple of other apps, such as youtube or music for 15 minutes, im sure theyll show up under the app usage after that. And also take your phone off airplane mode, and im pretty sure after a couple of hours the other usage category will have things such as "phone idle" or "cell standby"
