I was wondering if it matters whether or not your battery is at 100% when you flash a new Rom, because I flashed a Rom yesterday with about 35% battery left, and now it seems like my battery life has declined a lot.
Thanks!
Yes it matters. Yes you can recalibrate. No this is not the right sub forum to post a question. Questions are for forums Q and A

its a REALLY BAD idea to flash with less than 50% battery because you never know you might run into problems and you might run out of juice mid flash which can permabrick your device. seccond yes you can recalobrate just charge up to 100 go into clockwork and wipe battery stats plug it in while the phone is off and wait till the green battery is 100% then run the battery dry without charging untill it wont even turn on. then your batteries calibrated. Also hte guy above is right this is the wrong section you should have posted in q&a and im sure a mod wil be allong any minuite to close this thread
Yeah I was in a rush downloading the new CM7 Rom, and thought I was in the Q & A forums when I wasn't...
Just waiting for an admin to come on by and close it for me!
But thanks!

Currently running biffmod, and like it as far as speed and stability.
But... My battery will show 75%-Full and my phone just dies unless plugged in.
Not sure if this is a common issue. I already have a new battery on the way I ordered from one of the recommendations in another forum thread here.
Just curious if there is something I can do in the meantime.
In the top of this section there is a thread similar to this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836987
BTW, try to recalibrate battery.
I have battery problems too (I have a new battery ) , I'm trying to solve.
I think we can continue to the other thread. So we can talk about general battery drain on froyo roms.
Thanks for the quick reply and link to the other thread, I've actually been reading frequently and everyone else experiencing the same exact problem fixed it with a new battery.
The phone was purchased used so of course this is logical, and probably the case.
I have a new battery on the way.. So I'm sure I will get sorted once that shows up.
In the meantime going to re-calibrate it, thanks again, and will let the thread die now.

LOL, your battery is just fine... try to turn off 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, Sync, & decrease LCD brightness
still draining...
try flashing another rom .. miui or icenfire n c if u still get battery drain
best battery life u will get from cronosginger 1.4

But, where should I start?
Is it really necessery to flash a custom ROM, or is this phone snappy enough with Sense (but I'll probably use GoLauncher or LauncherPro, I only use 1 homescreen...)?
Which tweaks are really necessery to make the phone's battery survive for more than 24 hours, when texting pretty much?
Perhaps the phone's battery survives even though I text a lot (between 100-500 texts/day, depending on how bored I am)?
How's the vibrator in this phone, can I have it in silent mode and have it in my pocket and actually notice when I get a text?
My current phone's vibrator is pretty crappy.
I've been browsing this forum for some time now but haven't found anything that answers my questions... I come from an Acer Liquid A1, without CM7 or MIUI that phone is probably one of the worst phones ever done. But, I sure hope this community is just as active as the one the Liquid had, and still have
(lol, "is this a question?" eh, it's many questions... )
oh, and one more thing; is this device brickable? or can you always reset it to default, like with the liquid? if something f...s up you can always boot into bootloader and reflash a *.bin
Help a newbie to get started, and flashing things and stuff is nothing new. Only the way to root it is new for me... :/

I don't think you need a custom ROM. See if the battery is good enough for your needs. Remember to drain the battery completely multiple times to "train" it.
On another note, why get such an expensive phone, just for texting? It's going to drain a lot of battery while you are looking at the screen. Might as well go for a feature phone imo.
You should easily get 24 + hours if all you do is text mainly. Just remember to turn data off. It will help make your battery last longer.

Well, my current phone dies pretty quickly when texting a lot. Today it went from 60% down to 5%, and I woke for 11hours ago and have been texting ppl since then.
And I'm buying a new phone since my 4 touch-buttons on this one is getting really weird, they only work sometimes and yesterday they all died so I was stuck in a conversation and had to reboot to get out of it.
And sending texts and stuff is what I mainly do, of course I browse the Internet, play games and everything. During school and such I only text people, and a lot. So I pretty much needs the phone to make more than 24hours without charging it, even though I text a lot and listen to music.
@NardVa;
Won't be a problem. Already thought of that
Thanks for the replies

I was going to suggest flashing, the stock rom is garbage for battery life. Android Revolution HD seems to be one of the more popular choices, but of course Cyanogen Mod is there if you decide the Sense UI isn't your thing

I've made up my mind now, I'll use the official GB ROM for a couple of days/weeks/months (basically untill I'm tired of Sense 2.1) and then flash a Sense 3.0 ROM and hopefully I can understand which one of all those RUU's that's made for Europe too when I'm bored of Sense 2.1
You don't happen to know how it is with bricking this phone? Can you always reset it to stock, or can you actually brick it for real so it's 100% unusable?
Why has squad chosen to use 604mhz over 600mhz? Does it make any difference?
And the battery drains REALLY FAST in this ROM. I just had 65% of charge and then in 10 mins 49%
practically it doesn't make any difference
and your battery will drain faster because of many factors e.g - if internet service is on
i have the same problem. even i am not using internet and the mobile data and wifi are disabled. it drained faster.
Try to charge your phone until it's 100%. Turn off your phone and charge it again (I'm sure it won't show you 100% and still charging). Wait until it's show you 100%.
i got my battery 4%. I charge it a few minutes (not more than 5) and I got about 40%. Wow. But drains faster.
I think it's the battery calibration which is wrong.

When flashing new rom better to calibrate your battery first,
or you dont know how to do it cause it seems like you dont know a thing you were saying,
may i ask you? How long have you been using squads rom?
Dont talk about battery life if you havent used the rom for a week
cause by then you wont see nor judge its battery life just like that,
and one thing if you have doubts, dont use the rom then. Lets just be thankful a guy like squad
is trying to hold on to this project and please this is a shout out for all you guys
stop comparing developers! Its not fair alright?! Anyways peace y'all

Dude you are over reacting. First of all I haven't compared any roms. Second I have been using the rom for more than a week. Have been using cm7 since RC1.

Alright my bad, im sorry mate, and also i was not pertaining to you
When i said dont compare rom developers, its jst that i said it just in case some
people will, peace Man, and another one, batt for me using his rom, rc5.1
is good, last for atleast 3days, and me too, been flashing his rom since his 1st build.
I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo
i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...
I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

I was using tvall's CM7, I'm trying GinSense atm. I flashed LMCFroyo, but I missed all the advanced CM options... could give Biffmod a go I suppose. Thanks anyway.

I tried biffmod but can't remember how the battery behaved i'm afraid.I find lmcfroyo has a nice balance of speed, reliability and battery life. Mine was just a standard install.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?
Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:
