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

Well I think its fixed. Managed 13 hours and still 35% left using Google maps and Pandora plus regular use. Running the same configuration.

I'm rooted running cm7 with the tiamat 1.1.4 kernel and get quite good battery however nothing like I have seen some people talking about. I know my phone is going in to deep sleep
However is there any settings in cm7 I should be using to make the battery life longer?

Well I'm on cm7 and 1.1.5 (I've not noticed any difference between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5), and I get two days on a charge. I don't have facebook/e-mail or many other app syncing and I don't turn it off at night or anything like that.
I've seen people saying they get longer on a single charge but then you usually find out they're switching it off or putting it on airplane mode over night or something.

Yeah I might reinstall cm7 to get a clean install. Do you know how I would go about cleaning everyhting off the SD card and flashing a clean cm7.
It backs up your apps ongoogle doesn't it

Just wipe everything in recovery. When I installed CM7 after a few minutes it automatically started downloading my apps I'd had previously installed. There were a large chunk it didn't work on but they showed up in My apps in the market so I could just click on to download again.

no. the key here will be the right amount of under volting. dont go berserk. just reduce it to a small amount and check. minus 25-50 seems fine.
Use incredicontrol to undervolt to -75 and change wifi sleep policy in advanced setting to never. Did this with cm7 and got great battery life. Now using miuiandroid im at 70% after 19 hours of medium usage. It's amazing. No lag what so ever. Don't use tiamat 1.1.5 though, use 1.1.4, way more optimized.
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
yes tiamat 1.1.4 performs better than 1.1.5.
however you can try lord clockan's cm7 kernel. some users have found it even better than tiamat.

I am on cm7.2RC and i love it so far. Its fast, smooth and works like a charm. But the only one thing i hate about it is that it has terrible battery life. Within 3-4 hours of complete charge my battery runs down to 20%. I could flash a different rom but i dont wanna do that because i'm loving this rc build, well besides the terrible battery life.
Please help.

That's a problem within Cm7. It cannot be fixed at the moment...

I've been using an app called Juice Defender and it has honestly (almost) doubled my battery life. Give it a try! Worst comes to the worst, you just delete it

All juice defender does is disable the wifi and 3g when not needed. I disable them manually from habit after use and because of that battery increase was 0.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
you can do the same thing in tasker or even more as in juicedefender. Tasker is also cheaper.
Agreed, juicedefender will only disable wifi and 3g connections.
Do it manually, without the need to install other app, and save your battery... One day with wifi disabled you hardly will use more than 10% of your battery (without gaming, just music)
Juice defender no doubt disables wifi and cellular data and ofcorse you can do it manually but it has the option of disabling wireless connections when the screen is off which saves a little more battery life. Get the free version, coz i used the Ultimate one and besides more manual options nothing else is different.

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

this is my experience too. I´m loading everyday at work, so i have enough battery for the rest of the day
quite good
always on 3g ,1.5 h music ,40 sms ,some surf over 3g and wifi ( during lunchtime )
if i make a light usage ,i can manage to last 2 days , i'm quite satisfied
i last 3 days if i dont use wifi /3G and with second core disabled (i make it during trip)
i'm on CM7 Hybrid revolution by stefan.
I think your phone have a REAL problem, even if i try i just cant empty my batt in 2 hours (even with OC ,screen backlite maximus ,and playing riptide online.......i lasted 3 h)

i think it would make more sense to rate your battery life by stating how long the screen was on and on what conditions (wifi on/off/ 3g/ 2g/ brightness lv/ have you been watching video or playing games/ just typing sms or what ever)
my record was about 6h screen on time at 25% brigtness, 2g, gaming about half of that time. but i suspect the battery is getting old now, since i struggle to reach 3.5 h screen on time with the same conditions and much less gaming.

I tried with this rom and the problem with the Battery is the same 2 hours with max 1ghz and - 50 undervolt, i believe that the problem is hardware instead of software.
