Ok, so ever since I upgraded to CM6 (which I LOVE) I've had serious battery issues and I've tried to fix it by installing Pershoot's kernel and I have SetCPU to underclock in depending on what battery life it's at. Also, I've wiped my battery stats and I've calibrated my battery already.
Today my battery was at 64% after only 3hr and 26min. I don't have GPS on, auto backlight is on, 3g/2g and sync are on. If it makes any difference I have the Korean radio installed (which btw improved my reception a lot! ). After about 9hrs and half, my nexus one died. As per usage, I wouldn't say it's much at all because I'm in class most of the time and I've only talked on the phone for about 1 min, browsed a few websites, and sent only a few texts.
I keep reading on the forums about how people are getting 1-2% lower per hour while on standby but the % I reported earlier, my battery's draining at over 9%/hr!
I really just want to be one of those people that can say that "I still have 50% left after 12 hours!" lol
So, is there anything else I can to increase battery life? Is my battery just crap? Any recommended setCPU profiles?
If you're one of the users that get really good battery life from your Nexus One, please tell me what you did to get it that high! Thanks!
Don't use setCPU to manage battery life, only to overclock. It overrides the kernel's settings. Sounds like you need to wipe and flash the rom again. Then gradually add applications you want, something is sucking battery life.
Last, buy a new battery.
CM6 has less than stellar battery life. If you check the "help with my battery life" type threads, you will see most of the OP's have CM6 as their ROM. Try another ROM, you will get better results.

Quoted for lies
I'm using CM6 and I get between 22-32 hours on a single charge. I just use the kernel that comes with it and i almost always have sync on. No GPS or bluetooth though.
Are you using a battery you purchased on ebay? Or are you using the stock battery? ebay batteries last me about 9-12 hours and die. The stock battery is amazing
Exactly the same situation as you:
CM6.
N1.
Student.
Experiences massive drainage in short amounts of time with low usage.
Tried everything.
I'll now be trying Enomther, because yes I have heard CM6 users get worse battery life.
Just a viewpoint on what I'm facing. For the past week I've gone to bed with 100% battery and woken up ~7 hours later on 75%. I've tried WCDMA and GSM auto settings and neither male a difference.

I'm using the stock battery so I don't know what the problem. I just ordered another official stock battery though yesterday and I'm going to see if there are any differences.

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I thought I was being an idiot by doing something wrong...
I've calibrated my battery several times already while trying to fix this issue. Could that have killed my battery life?
1) Discharging the battery below 10-15% is bad for the battery, doing it many time will destroy the battery, making it last just about nothing.
2) Check CPU usage - download System Monitor or some other app like that, and check the running frequency of the phone. When you just run the program and don't touch the phone, it should float around 300 MHz. If you have it locked on 998MHz - you have an app that got your CPU stuck in a loop.
3) Download some app that stores battery stats, and check your discharge current and battery capacity - that way you'll know if it's your battery dead or your apps drawing the juice.
Sorry, double post.

crap, all the guides that i've read regarding calibration told me to discharge it completely.
My CPU usage seemed normal. It was stable at around 245 and would jump up to 998 from time to time that doesn't last for more than half a second though.
My battery seems to be in good condition as it's labeled as "healthy" by my battery apps and the voltage seemed normal....

Do a nandroid back-up of CM6, and then try out the above ROM. You can always go right back to CM at any time.
For calibration, complete discharge is necessary. Doing it once is not too harmful. As long as the battery is reported "healthy" - you're ok.
There are apps that will show you the approximate capacity of your battery in numbers. Try to find one like that.
Please check discharge current and voltage over time. It doesn't make sense that a phone on 245 MHz in sleep mode will draw the current required to discharge 10%/hour.
in same boat as OP
im in the same position as the OP
student.
dont use phone for nearly 7 hrs a day
backlight on lowest, gps and bluetooth off.
ive been looking around for answers (hence why im reading this)
when class gets out ive gone from 100% to nearly 65%
running cm6 and ive wiped battery,
about to switch ROM, maybe that'll help.

Awesome, if you find a fix let me know please.
I haven't been able to do any of the suggestions yet but (when it comes to flashing) but I do have an update that might shine more light on this issue.
Today in class I noticed that my N1 was warm when it was in my pocket but nothing was running and gps and bluetooth was off. I checked the temp of my battery it was at 36.1C while it's usually at 30-31C when I'm not doing anything.
Also, I checked spare parts this morning and found that, while I was asleep, my N1 was not asleep for half that time but my screen on for only 4% of that time (probably from my messing with it before and a little bit after sleep).
I've checked to see if anything is running in the background that might lead to this but so far none of my apps should drain my battery that much while I was asleep.
Is this normal? Shouldn't my phone be mostly in sleep mode when I'm asleep since I'm not doing anything to it? As for the battery heating up, do y'all think it's a faulty battery or the fault of the OS?
Thanks again for all of y'all's helpful replies!

About battery heating...
I checked and mine is at 75-78F while in class. My n1 is also in a case, so for it to be that low is good. Just thought to throw that in as a comparison.
Also i've switched ROMs to help with battery, no luck there. Still experience 7-8% drop per hour.
I've been keeping my phone off now at school, which has helped, though I still lose nearly 15% while it's off.
Sent from my seXus One using XDA App. While I gripe about battery stats.

Hi folks.
Sorry if this is a redundant question or thread, I have used the search feature and am not getting the results I want. Furthermore I have a 2 year old and 9 month old hanging on my legs here and just need an answer so again apologies if this is redundant.
I have had my Captivate for about 5 days now. I rooted it and installed Serendipity 5.3 ROM. Today I noticed my battery went from 100% to 5% in 4 hours. Is this normal?
I got home and updated Serendipity to 5.4 and then 5.5 but not sure if that will fix the battery issue. The day before I ran the battery all day 10 hours and I was at 35% which to me was normal as my iPhone 4 had the same performance. But 100-5% in 4 hours seems a bit strange.
Any help would be appreciated sorry for the long post I need to get back to my kids.
Thanks!
4 hours for almost 100% battery usage is not normal.
check your wifi setting, gps setting first.
Sounds to me like your battery needs a calibration. It's generally a good idea to re-calibrate your battery after flashing. I generally get 20hrs on my Captivate with Serendipity 5.2 with average usage.

Now that one kid is asleep and the other on her way....what is the optimal wi-fi setting for best battery life and the same for gps?
Also, I looked at that thread and I am in process of trying it out integrasaurus.
This is my first time with an Android phone, I came from an iPhone 4 jailbroken so I am an Android virgin and 5 days old.
I also want to say I am sorry about starting a thread if this topic was hit on already. I have been around forums a long time and I know how frustrating it is when noobs do these things so I thought I'd offer my sincerest apologies for doing what I would get mad at too.
usually after you flash a new rom, the gps is set to on. turn it off if you are not using it;
go to settings->wireless and network->wi-fi settings, then click menu to bring up the advanced->in the wi-fi sleep policy->make sure select "when screen turns off";
go to settings->applications->samsung apps->make sure it is "off"

I got the wi-fi taken care of though thanks for that.
It was strange today though, I plugged the phone in to wall ac and it took forever (5hours) to charge from 5% to 40% and then drained in less than an hour back to 5%.
Its charging now and has been on my usb port for 2 hours and its up to 72% from 4%.
That was also a confusing mystery.
Hey guys, just want to say thanks again. I'm still working on calibrating batt but I after reading some more in the forums (kids finally both in bed and OUT) I discovered that I had 2 task killers installed and that these apps are battery killers (at least in some opinions).
I uninstalled them and charging seems to be moving faster than before. I will let you know how things go.
Thanks again!
I am running Serendipity 5.5 and my battery typically lasts between 26-30 hours with normal use. I don't use any task killers, but if you have your task killers set to be too aggressive I'm sure that would drain the battery pretty fast. I'd suggest just ditching them completely though, as I get over a day's battery without trying to manage all of that.
Also, check if ur gallery has the sensor bug. U can find this out under battery usage using the SPARE PARTS app.

yup, I deleted them already. I believe that was the cause of the sudden change in life, as I didnt have many problems before them.
After my battery cal I have been running the phone on and off normal use for over an hour. Battery is now at 95%, started at 100%.
I see improvements already, but will hold off saying its fixed completely until I can give it a day or two of testing.

sometimes the thumnails get corrupt which eats battery while trying to load and need to be "refreshed" a simple way to do this is in the app SGS TOOLS run the script "clean_thumb_db.txt" this should fix gallery issues.
Thanks for this info. This will be something I will keep an eye on for sure. Phone is still above 90% after over 2 hours. Hoping the calibration and deletion of task killers did the trick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Charge battery 100% then some... Power off phone and let charge longer... Boot into Clockwork and reset battery stats.... Run the phone a few charges and you should be gold.... Under normal/light use I can get 1.5 days out of my battery...
Also check your wireless settings. Try setting them to turn off wireless when the screen is off. That was a huge battery drain for me.
Thanks to all here for the help and thoughts.
So last night I
1. Got rid of task killers
2. Updated Serendipity from 5.3 to 5.5
3. Adjusted wireless settings
4. Calibrated battery
I finished all this at 8:15pm CST and the phone has been unplugged since then, with moderate use between 8:15 and 10:15pm. It is now 7am CST and the phone is at 63% power which is a huge improvement from yesterday.
I am convinced it was the task killers that had the most drain on the battery.
I will give it one or two more days and see how performance is then and let you know.
You guys rock!
Back on Serendipity 4.3, while OC/UVing I could get about 25-28 hours with normal use, texting throughout the day, occasional calls.
Now that I'm on 5.5, I am getting about 28-32 hours, still OC/UVing.
Also, I use advanced task manager, and it doesn't kill my battery at all. Any more than other apps at least.
Glad everything is working out for you iDroidd!
..Now back to flashing lol.

so I went 22 hours on one charge, now that's the initial charge of calibration. It's plugged in now we will see how it fares going forward.
This seems to be quite a common and somewhat obscure at the same time.
Many people have reported installing a new rom or even just powering up their phone and seeing a battery % much different from what they expect. Most often much lower than it should be. Evidently this corrects itself after some time but it's a real problem if your display reads <15% because you really have to plug it in then, even with you know you have 90% battery!
So, here's the solution after testing it under different circumstances over a few days:
Simply boot your phone when it is not plugged in to a power source and battery % will be accurate.
That simple. Silly LG!
So, if you flash a new rom, unplug the USB cable before you reboot...
Hit 'Thanks' below for the 50 reboots I did to prove this...

Sorry to say the same..
Even while charging with the phone shut down, pulling it off the charger and then booting this happens. On my phone I have experienced it on all MCR's.
It's really not a big deal as long as the battery performs as Stock 10b, that build has been stable batterywise on my phone. But staying stock isn't too much fun
Well, every time I charge, whether I reboot/shut down before unplugging or not, my charge always maxes out at 96%.
Annoying and I'd like it sorted if at all possible.
Anyone?..........lol

ye i got that exact same issue i was wondering why that was happening and hoped that a simple reboot would fix it but its a bit more complicated than that i suppose...
also the battery reset in cwm didnt fix the loading till 97% w/e percentage.
when i install the stock rom it allows me to load it till 100% though pretty weird stuff -.-

I had a replacement netbook battery that could only max to 90%. So, over the weekend, I practically drained it to 0% (not a healthy practice for Li-ion batteries but I was desperate). Took out the battery for a while, and then recharged for several hours. Well, it seems to get up to 100% now.
Perhaps you could try using the the phone until it very low on battery before recharging. Maybe the charging process in the phone needs some sort of recalibration. But should not be doing this all the time as it will reduce Li-ion battery longevity.
Let mine totally die last night so it wouldn't even turn on at all. Took out and replaced battery and then charged it overnight and hey-presto, when I unplugged it this morning, it stayed at 100%.
Solved indeed....for me anyway. Feel free to try the same and post your results.

I'll be sure to try your tip man. But not easy drain it completely when I always need the phone :=)
I guys! I've got the same problem.
I think that it could depend on the "full battery popup FIX" that Paul introduced in his roms by the FR8.
So I would like to ask Paul if you can create a patch to remove that fix. Just to try it!
According to me, incorrect battery amount depend on a wrong voltage read error (offset introduced?) by the rom. :blink:
In my case, I have followed many times battery wype procedure without positive issue. The matter leaves only by flashing original roms.
I think that if Paul have written a wrong battery values range (to delete the battery full popup) that can be traduced in an incorrect battery status displays.

Perhaps, but you can not conclude it was introduced by MCR. You logic is wrong there.
Even without "battery full popup fix" it doesn't work good...
Battery level, when unpluged, stay at 100% for 2 minutes afterwards drop down fast until 85% then drain normally...
I'm getting huge battery display problems no matter what I do.
When I took it off the charger this morning, it said I had 100%... thats fair enough. However it stayed at 100% all day, so to "refresh" it this evening I restarted the phone, and low and behold it now says I have 27% left. But again, it's just sticking at that value, even with me now plugging the phone into the wall to charge. It simply says "Charging (27%)" and won't budge, likely until I restart the phone again.
Sometimes it works fine, it seemed to be doing ok last night before I put it on the charger. Any tips/suggestions? Is this something likely to be fixed when the Gingerbread update rolls around?
This is my first real smartphone, and am fairly annoyed as its giving me a fair few problems that I've not had from other electronic devices.
As I stated in another thread, I had the same issue while on MoDaCo Fr12. However, after reverting back to stock, the battery percentage is spot-on and I'm getting up to 48 hours use out of it.
Draw your own conclusions.

That sounds super, but I'm still on stock too. About the only things of note I've done are root and switching to Launcher Pro. Oh, and Clockwork Mod of course. Perhaps a complete reboot is needed, we'll see how it goes.
Saying that - since charging, my phone has been at 90% all evening, until right this moment when it changed to 89%. It's less than I'd expect on this type of phone for 3-4 hours use (or lack thereof, I've barely touched it), but it's a start eh?
Welcome to the world of smartphones my friend. I've had various handsets over the last 4 years from iphone to android and a day and a half out of the battery is about average......at best. ;-)

Just to clarify, what I meant in my previous post was that I was expecting to battery to drop a lot more than it did. The fact that it only went down 1% in several hours of use prompted me to think that the battery value was messed up.
As it is, I've not charged my phone in the 36 hours since, and it tells me I have 73% battery left. Perhaps it is performing extremely well after all? If that's the case then I'm more than happy with it, but being the pessimist I'm still expecting the phone to turn off sometime with the battery reporting incorrect values.
It seems several people have charging issues with GB. If you have this issue, regardless of rom, post what you have tried to use as a workaround, successfully or not. Also, how long it took for issue to appear. Phone configuration is optional, but there may be something a dev sees as a pattern, even if we dont. I would also encourage posters to share build date of their device.
This thread its for everyone, but I would ask if you are one of the lucky ones not affected by this issue to refrain from posting "I never had a problem...". This thread will hopefully bring more light to this issue for dev's, as currently complaints are posted only in the thread for the specific rom they are using.
To all that post, thank you.
Mods, I posted in wrong forum. Please move to general.Thank you.

I've seen it, if I charge my phone to long. I'd wake up to a fully charged notification unplug and be at 74% or so.
As a workaround I charge it full right before bed and unplug it at full, since it sips battery just chilling overnight I wake up to about 94% or higher. Plug it in, hop in the shower. Unplug after and I'm good for the day ;p
Ok, since I started the thread, I guess I should post my experience.
If I have just flashed s rom, the first 2 charge cycles work perfectly. After that it goes downhill. 91%, then mid 80's, anyone s guess after that. I've tried multiple combinations of flight mode, data deactivated, and cache/Dalvik wipes. Nothing. The part that confuses me is the first 2 cycles after a flash.
Now, about my phone:
C5.3 (today), Talon 0.1.5, ext4, all tweaks except governor, oc to 1200mhz,-50 uv on all states except 1200, GingerBlue theme (thanks Viv), stock modem, auto rotate/brightness off. I use the cable that came with the phone to charge with (wall charger), and my build date is 1007.
My bug is that it always fully charges to 100%, and just keeps cooking the battery. That cant be good for the batt.
On all Froyo roms / kernels, it would drop to 98% or so like it should.
On Continuum 5.3 / Talon 1.5 it just fully charges..
I use an ammeter but also have a supply that stops blinking when the phone stops charging (long after it shows the battery full notification). Unplugging at that point will show 100%. The problem is that when it reaches full it switches to battery and drains it for several hours so you might see 80% when you unplug it in the morning if it's been running on battery for a while.
The battery gauge and notification are way off. Don't trust them, but I can assure you it's not overcharging.
Battery date 2010.07.09 (as appears on battery)
Heys Guys Im having an issue with my Captivate, its was working fine for the past week. It started giving me problems like battery temps too high, cant charge, had to charge it manually, removing battery & charging it all night. All this happened when im with stock rom latest with leaked 2.3.5
& i did unlock this with changing the 01 digit to 00 in efs file.
From the past 2 days im trying to install CM10,9, 10.1..... after installation it shuts down itself. Not able to use it.
Is there any way around to make this work. If pics are needed i can provide that too.
Thanks
No reply... :/
Some one should have had an issue.

When/how does it happen?
What are the changes/mods you made?
Did you restore anything?
Did you try different kernel settings?
Did you try flashing a different kernel (like Semaphore?) or flashing a different ROM?
I could be asking more questions but really, I dunno what causes it, I can only guess. Also a search in the CM10.1 thread might give you an answer to your SoD <-- Should've been your first step*

It just happened, battery temp too high errors, thought flashing CM9 would solve this, was bored of Stock Gingerbread, flashed corn kernel & flashed cm9 rom. I did mod anything else. That all

Battery temp to high is a big problem. Did you overcloak? Have you running bunch of stuff at the same time?
When it shuts down, does it reboot by itself or you have to do it manually?

Sounds like Battery health status does not equal healthy. That forces an immediate shutdown, whether due to temperature or excessive internal resistance. That's because once a Li ion battery reaches critical temperature, it combusts and destroys your phone, burns you and anything around it, etc.
GET ANOTHER BATTERY ASAP.
Stop trying to circumvent high temperature shut down.

Recently i bought a new battery, original samsung make, it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high". No overclocking here, just used to call, receive & wifi hotspot. Currently i charge battery in a battery charger & use it in phone.
U pointed out something right, sometimes screen just goes blank, i have to manually switch it on.

I bought a new battery & it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high".
But im not able to under stand, why is Cynogenmod shuts down itself after installation, can i just stop shutting down ?

I think it's not CM related but hardware related. Does this happen when not using the wifi hotspot too?
I'm thinking your battery is bad (even if new), charger is bad, connection is bad (maybe from water/humidity) or that your usb port is bad. No easy way of finding it other than testing.

May be yes, the phone some times just goes blank, i have to manually switch ON. The same battery works well in my frnds phone quite well.
Port dont know, i can copy files no errors even now when i plug it in on stock gingerbread the battery doesnt charge but can copy files as before.
Since the batt works well in other phone, a couple of ideas. Perhaps silly to ask, but just checking:
did you wipe battery stats in cwm after flashing?
did you clean the phone's battery terminals with a bit of alcohol?
what's the battery health,temperature and voltage history look like, if you can get it. you can log it with battery monitor widget or similar app. set to short 1 minute interval for testing.
