Hi,
I recently (yesterday) updated to the new official ROM (WWE:2.53.405.5) from the HTC website. Today I have found a serious drain on my battery. From full over night charge it dropped to 42% after about 1.5 hours of no use, an hour or so later and the battery was flat.
There doesn't seem to be any tasks running in the background, but even if there were a battery life of around 3 hours isnt right.
Has anyone else found this with the new update? Any ideas?
Thanks
Gary
Mine drains like never before also, did you hard reset your device after the flash? I did at least.
Yeah, tried a hard reset. I don't understand what could be causing it. Are you getting the same ridiculous short battery life that I am?
Not really, but sometimes if I charge my battery to 100% then put the charger out it can go down to 10% within an hour, that happend to me a week ago. But yes, my battery drains very fast, when listening to music, browsing or whatever, 10% in less than 20 minutes..

I am experiencing something simular.
In the same configuration and the stock ROM, I got a little over 2 days on a single charge with normal use. Now I am luckly to make it through the day and need to charge my phone every night.
I have improved somewhat by limiting active sync to look for e-mail every 10 minutes instead of "as mail arrives" which tells me that the drain has something to do with the 3G networking.
Assuming the ROM flashed a different radio version, flash back to a different version and see if that improves your battery life.

I try that and this procedure dont change nothing, from some reason new stock rom drain battery so much, i turn off all radio on my one, no radio at all an battery keep going down, about 10% for 1h-1.5h , so i have to back to previous rom 6.5 stock with manila 2.1 the best one for me, average 3 days on battery
There are some battery improvement tricks available and as there are a lot of requests for these, maybe it would be nice if someone could compile a list and sticky post?
(I heard something about the battery polling frequency for example)
I contacted HTC support and they stated that they were receiving more reports regarding battery drainage after the latest ROM update and that they are in the process of investigating what the root cause is.
Same here after flashing of newest radio rom. Now I´m back on 4.47.25.01 and battery life is much better.

The rom you flashed was 2.53.410.3 with the radio 4.49.25.91?
I have that same rom and radio too and my battery drain is simply bad bad bad.
Every reset takes 7 or 10% sometimes of battery too.
This rom with the radio you flashed 4.47.25.01 works better? no more battery drain? That radio version is quite old, from 6.1 rom?
Battery drain is driving me mad
Greetings
Similar problem on my Topaz.... It has been driving me mad for two months now.
The severe battery drain started after flashing the HTC newest ROM (WWE). The battery started draing fom 100% to 0% (without even warning before switcing off) in less tha 5 hours.
So far I tried the following (by order) all with 3G disabled (GSM only) and all data connections off:
1. New battery bought from HTC -> problem persisted
2. Flashed previous ROM version (WWE 6.5) -> same problem
3. Flashed old 6.1 ROM -> same problem
4. Battery calibration and similar "voodoos" -> problem continues
5. Contacted HTC -> they proposed to do all that I previously did and upon my answer said that I would have to send the mobile to repair (under warranty)
6. Sent mobile to service -> motherboard was replaced (new IMEI) and the poblem continues (mobile returned with Portuguse ROM 6.5)
7. Flashed again the wwE ROM 6.5, calibrated battery, applied all the proposed tweaks after reading hundreds of posts in forums -> same problem
8. Maintained ROM and previus radio version 4.49.25.17 ->still continues
The mobile is always consuming 160 mA (wheb screen is on( jumping sometimes to 330 mA
I am running out of ideas. I am considering trying the ANDROID version for TOPAZ and see if at leat the battery lasts more than 5 hours (to disregard hardware fault)
I still did not try any cooked ROMs
I noticed that in spite of all the tweaks the ActiveSync is not disabled as it keeps writing in the logging file. I wonder if there are other processes running and consuming the battery
Any help (that does not touch the obvious as you can see I already tried plenty) will be appreciated

Regarding Android on Topaz you will get around 6-8hours of moderate usage but we have some problems with the battery meter right now so android will not show you the exact percent of battery. We still need to optimize battery drivers and so on...
Well fast battery drain is usually a common problems among smartphone device running WinMo, Android,... The touchscreen and its backlight are consuming a lot of battery and of course the hardware in it. Regarding WinMo devices fast battery drains occurs when changing driver bases and radio roms. When you change your driver base be sure to calibrate the battery and wait for few days until drivers & battery "settles down". Anyway the other cause may be that your battery is dead. Thats all i know.
Thanks for the information regarding XANDROID.
The phone worked fine for 7 months on WM 6.1 first and WM 6.5 later, with several ROM upgrades in the between (followed by hard resets) .
The battery used to last 1-1.5 days depending on usage and carrier coverage.
The problem developed recently... And my first step was buying a new battery (which is the one I am using now).
I am now in the process of charging, discharging a bit (20-30%) charging again, to try the "driver settling" theory (I must confess that it is hard to chew but since it cannot get worst....)

Yeah, carrier coverage also affects battery life + sense 2.5 is really battery hungry so maybe thats the point. My battery also lasts ~1-1.5 days.
Hey All,
My Milestone running MIUI 1.6.4 doesnt go to sleep when I turn the screen off. This is leading to poor dormant battery life. The battery drops by about 10 percent for every 1 hr, when the phone is not in use(ironic, cos when the device is actively used, MIUI seems to have the best battery life). I checked the built in battery usage chart, and the thread that keeps the device awake is Android System itself. Is this a known issue? and are there any solutions available?
Had same problem!
Had exactly same problem a couple of months back and posted question here but no response.
I was able to initiate deep sleep but had to do various things such as reboot time after time until successful, open up a variety of apps, use a task killer, etc., to try and resolve problem.
I was using CM 6.0 initially and even updated to the latest update of that build by wiping everything but all to no avail. I was beginning to think that it was a hardware problem when I flashed an entirely different rom - MIUI 1.2.25 and hey presto problem resolved.
I suggest that you may have to do likewise and try another rom entirely. BTW the battery life of 1.2.25 is very good indeed. I also recommend using CPU Spy found in the market and/or CPU Stats found in the Themes/Apps section of this forum to monitor deep sleep status.
Hope this helps

waiting for eyebee's version wud b a better choice .. his update shud come by monday ..
I installed this rom few days ago. And when i look at battery stats i see android os 90+%, screen 2%, internet 2%....
Why? My Battery holds for 12-13 hours and I think That's OK ... but why are battery stats incorrect ?
I don't use taskkiller, oc to 1.4, yesterday I deleted some system apps in order to bring this down but no improvement ...
I deleted sns services , feeds and something widget, samsung update, samsung kies services ...
But android os in battery stats remains the same..
Sent from my GT-P1000...
This was a bug/defect in JQ1,the Italian Gingerbread from which Overcome was based. It has since been corrected on the latest Asian gingerbread. On my gt the display is now top of the battery stats while android OS at the bottom.

So which custom rom doesn't have this bug? I did some research and everybody are giving their praises to overcome ...
Does battery last longer on rom that doesn't have this bug?

Hello folks,
I got a SGS with carbon custom rom. It is running Android 4.2.2 . My battery life is pretty bad, i lose like 30% over night. I already reduced screen brightness but mobile standby still eats a lot of battery.
Would a new kernel solve my issue? Can someone recommend one, please?
Thank you.

It's not kernel. Install gsam Battery Monitor and check which apps are draining your battery. And check your wakelocks .
Try to greenify apps like viber, facebook etc
As you are also using 4.2.2 it has battery drain fast bug.

4.2.2 based ROMs have in general very high battery consumption. On the i9000 4.2.2 gives the very shortest battery life.
CM10.2 works much better, provides around 50% longer battery life and is faster
Thanks for your answers. I checked battery usage and wakelocks but there are no abnormalities. The highest amount of wake lock is caused by exchange but it doesn't seem to be the culprit of my battery problem. The device is awake only 9% of the time.
I found that mobile data causes the drain. When turning it on and tethering the connection I lose half my battery within 20 minutes. The battery usage is about the same when only using mobile data, without the tether.
I have installed semaphore, it gives me excellent standby times when not using mobile data...(2% over night)
2 questions: would flashing a new modem/radio solve my problem?
Is 4.3 suitable for daily usage? My current ROM is very stable and I wouldn't want to upgrade to 4.3 if it doesn't work well.
Also, I need tethering, does that work on cm10.2?
Thank you
UPDATE: I flashed Android 4.3, semaphore kernel and a new modem. I will observe the battery consumption over the next few days.
My battery drains so quickly
android system consumes 30% of it
screen on time is 2 hours
I tried everything i changed the battery changed the rom (custom -official )
and still the same issue I don't know what to do
I use the resurrection remix 7.2, with no problems. I did find my battery life going down faster with 7.4. Could you try 7.2 with minimum apps extra installed? Then you can figure out if it is something you've installed or if something is wrong with the battery.
I have the same problem
Waiting for solution
I already changed battery and rom miui stable and almost every rom in xda and problem continues ...
Please devs help us
