Best Radio Rom for Battery life?

Anyone who's seen me in Rom threads probably knows that I usually ask the question about battery life, its like one of my obsessions... I want a phone that does a lot, but gets the most battery life too, probably not a winning combination, but it all helps!
I read on one thread that someone was using a radio version 1.10 and found it gave them better battery life then the new 1.13 with no loss of signal / gps.
Anyone got any thoughts?

1.13 radio
i just upgraded the radio in my hd to the new 1.13 from 1.09 and feel that the battery is a little better than before. i also currently running kwbr topix 1.0.1 wm6.1 rom. today will be the first full with that combo. i'll get back to you tomorrom on how the consumption is.

Have been using 1.13 since release and found no issues at all.
I am using Duttys 2.9 ROM and am getting 2.5 - 3 days of reasonably heavy use. Before i was getting 2 max before

Battery life sucks for me.....
2-3 days of battery life with heavy use.... i cannot even imagine getting that on my phone.
I dunno whats wrong with my phone .
I just updated to the new rom and radio from htc website.
Also, have disabled, wifi, data connections, active sync... all the stuff that take the juice out.
Also i am in NA, so also disabled 3g.
My setting are set manually for backlight and it is at the third point from the left.
I also have screen turn-off in 1min as well as switch off in 4 min.
In terms of program, i have pocket shield and incall touch lock program.
No after charging the battery to full.
This is wat i get,
Talk time- 30-45 min.
Music - 120 min. (S2P2 player)
Wifi - 10 min.
Now after almost 30 hrs.
battery is showing jst one bar.
==================================
Am sure what usage i mentioned above is definitely cannot be termed as heavy.
Let me know, if someone can help me to improve my battery life.

I'd do this too, its best to start with a rom, see battery life first without installing anything, then add bits one by one and you can usually eliminate the culprit!

Re: Barety life
What?
I have HTC Touch HD half year and batery never last more then 30 hrs with oficial ROM and clever use!

With my wifi on all the time... i never cross 24hrs

i use the music player for about 2 hour's a day and use the phone for about 1-2 hours and i am nearly always on the net with it as well.
edit: @drgopoos, WiFi eats battery like you wouldn't believe so no wonder you dont get more than 24hrs. I once had WiFi on and plugged the phone in to sync with my PC and the battery still went down. What happens if you dont use WiFi. Surely you dont need it 24/7?

I too am in the same boat, can't really stretch much past half a day with a bit of music, websurfing and the occasional email. No WiFi, only 3G. I've loaded a few apps (TomTom, CorePlayer and PHM Regedit) and don't have Exchange or anything active. Running Dutty V3.6 XT and radio 1.14.25.24.

Watch your power settings! My sat-nav program turned off the "turn off device after xxx mins" option in there. I could hardly reach 24 hours with one charge since the device never really turned off. This was really annoying e.g. when a reminder popped up at night, or when the phone was out of my reach.
After I realized that and set my option properly (screen 30 secs/power off after 1 min) my device lasts at least 2 days with normal use and even 3-4 days at light use.
I use radio 1.14.25.24 on Duttys 3.4 XT

A-ha. I am getting 2 weeks with extremely heavy use.
Brightness is set to 100%, Wi-Fi and BT are always on. And I talk 24 hours a day also.

mine always have some strange consumption of power when I leave it through the night
before I go to bed it would be around 50% but when I wake up (5 hours later without running any programs of course) it drop to Battery very low
I'm using Radio 1.14, when I was on 1.13 I'm not experience that problem

I got the feeling that the newer radios use more battery. I've just downgraded to version 1.09.25.14, which I think was the original one that came with the phone. I will let you know my experience with that.

Even with stock rom I would get no where near this, and I doubt anyone else would. I've used all Throys roms and yes it may be possible to get battery usage to maybe 2 - 2.5 days when left on standby but with heavy use!!! Extremely doubtful.......what do you classify as heavy use? Leaving it alone on standby locked in the cellar so no one can touch it!!

god, i'm happy when i make it through the day, meaning 12-16h without recharging, little to no music, hour or 2 msn, some net, normal call/sms, few weather updates....best i got was about 36h on Lost In Asia v5, generally Titanium seems to drain less then Manila :/
i could see getting 3 days if i buy 2 more batteries....or never unplug it from my laptop/socket :/

only two weeks ??? Your battery is probably broke !
Lil feedback with Lost in asia V5 and radio 1.14.25.24
around 36 h with heavy use
around 48 h with normal use
But i noticed that 4 things eat a lot my battey:
-when i check my mail and when the connection is bad ...
-when my HD is connected to my pc by usb
-when i'am in subway because sometimes it's edge,sometimes HSDPA etc...
- Wifi of course !
By the way, manila eat more battery than titanium...

never had these benefits...
perhaps you have a battery plus, or a special hd

I have suffered with battery life as well... Can never get past a day to be honest & I have tried almost every ROM from here including WM6.1 & 6.5. I use my phone mostly for music, little bit of gaming and web surfing. It is connected to net all the time though, because I have unlimited data plan. I normally leave home at 8:30 in the morning & till then the phone stays plugged in with the charger over night.
On the way to work and back I listen to music with normal 3.5mm headphone & sometimes play xtract or watch movie. The journey time is around 40 mins each way. I actively surf internet for around 15mins during break, not every day though. My emails get automatically downloaded after every 2 hours from 4 different providers. AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.
By the time I get home at around 6 in the evening the battery level is generally at around 65% and I consider this as light use.
Is there any chance to improve it?! I don't wanna buy those huge batteries which shatters the sexyness of the device.

[Q] CM6 vs Chronos Froyo Battery life

Hello,
Which one has longer battery life? From what I read, Chronos Froyo has longer battery life and also it's more responsive? Why is that?
Can CM6 use the same code as Chronos Froyo for speed and bat life?

I think it depends on overclocking.

I use HO!NO ROM for the CM6 and this weekend i realized that i was 22h without recharge it and was with 80% Battery. No profile set.. no Set CPU... Mobile Data 100% ON!!

I simply can´t understand, why every one has different battery life on same ROM. I know it depends on usage etc. but I´ve heard that HO!NO has huge battery drain

Battery performance is based on how one sets up his phone, overclocking, wifi / 3g usage, media usage etc. But on the same setup , cronos wins.

Ye, why Chronos is better? Isn't base on CM6 too? Or it has it's own modified kernel that's why it's better? Is bat life base on Kernel?

This is based on what exact versions being compared?

I have now tried Cronos for the sake of everyone prasing battery life. I compared every ROM over at least 3 days use and i can say there are no big ddifferences as far as battery life goes between CM 22.11. Froyo 2.0.1 or Cronos 1.6 update1. There is some fluctuation, but nothing too aperent.
Older versions had quite some battery problems, that holds for all ROMs, but now only abaut 20-30% less battery for me on these Froyo ROMs, than on eclair ROMs i had before. For first Froyo ROMs it was like 50% less...

Well, the CM6 on the actual build (0.04) is imho far the best concernig battery-life.
Just a little less good than on SHOLS_U2_36.0 by G.O.T.

Before it was probably Cronos, but nowadays the difference is down to the voltage selected. On Cronos this is lower, so out of the box it should take up less power. However, clock for clock it should essentially the same. The rapid releases of CM6 takes the cake for me

I tried both Cronos 1.6.1 and CM6 25/11, I noticed no great difference.. just a feeling, Cronos runs more smooth at same clock, but they are almost the same!
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

In my personal experience, Cronos 1.6.1 is currently the best ROM both in terms of battery life and responsivity/relayability. With everything enabled (3G, wireless location service, gmail sync) , is the only ROM that can give me 18 hours plus of battery.

Exactly. I believe both hit battery life with the same tweaks. Then it comes down to the voltage and clock speeds. CM6 should last plenty long too.

Pretty much identical battery life. I use my phone quite heavily so never get more then about 16-18hours. Maybe in long haul there is a difference but not with a well used device.

this. although i haven't updated yet to the latest CM6. my phone once lasts from 2.5-3 days, with minimal mp3 listening and harcore wifi usage.

before the upgrade to cronos 1.6.1 (best froyo to customize) i was using telusV5...
eclair could last even 50 hours without recharge.
froyo is 25 hours at its best.
i use H data always on, gps on, latitude, whatsapp, wireless almost never, i make lots of calls, i read news, play games like angry birds or asphalt5 few minutes.
i tried every combo of mhz and vsel from 1100 74, to 700 46...no significant difference, battery lasts always 24-26 hours.

I use c.m. roms,from about the 10th of november or something,c.m. roms last about twice as much as my stock eclair did,i'm sorry to say that,but if nadlabak didnt exist,cronos wouldnt exist,feeyo is waiting each time for nadlabak to solve each problem and then he will release his own rom.
Whenever nadlabak doesnt publish his work,cronos is stuck...
Nice guy maybe feeyo,but not milestone expert...
I prefer the original thing,wich is more superior in my opinion...

Right but are you comparing it against a tweaked Froyo?
I used STOCK Telus 2.1 back in the day with the Overclock mod at 1000mhz/60vsel.
I used to push email from 8am to 6pm everyday at work. I had terrible reception at work so I would use 2G a lot during the day, but I would always have 30% AT LEAST by bedtime. I go to work at 8:30am and sleep around 12am.
Now I work at a different place, but I got into work at 11am today and left at 6pm. I took a break in the middle to get lunch, but since I work underground, I turn on airplane mode the whole time. It's now midnight (13 hrs since unplugging) and I'm at 40%. I'd say that if I had 50% of my time on airplane mode that's pretty bad. Other than that the other 6 hrs that I was out int he open I got decent reception. I just pushed gmail, sycned Facebook/Twitter hourly and weather every 3 hrs. Not too bad in terms of heavy use. Also I have the 2G toggle on. I just don't see how I'm draining battery this fast.
So in my case Eclair completely dominates. With HONO or TelusLite mod I probably got a little better battery life throughout the day. I dunno. I only had 1 month of work or so during the summer of using those ROMs before I quit and I stopped pushing exchange mail all day long.

You forget something battery gets worse over time. I had very good batery life on Eclair. Now i use Froyo for quite some while at begining veery bad battery life. Now latest releases quite better, but still not there so i went to try Eclair again for a bit and i found out even eclair doesnt have the battery life for me it used to have, battery is just old and its only half a year since i bought. But take this i charge it everydays ometimes more so in half a year a charged it around 200 times. 300times is the number i think battery gets quite worse.

Maybe one of you battery hawks can help me figure out what the major problem I'm having is.
I see people saying they get 24+ hours on a single charge, yet I have a difficult time maintaining 12 hours with minimal usage.
My provider (Bell Canada) does not have a 2G network I can fall back on, so that's one thing that could be causing major drain.
I am using SuperPower (but haven't noticed any major difference there), SetCPU to set processor to 250 when screen is on, 15sec before screen off, wifi off, GPS off, background data off when screen is off, auto-sync off, and data scheduled to be on for 5 minutes every hour.
I use my phone when I commute to check emails, play Angry Birds, and the like, and generally overclock to 700 or 800 Mhz, with 48 or 50 vsel depending.
Using my phone to play a game, check email, or surf the web for 10 minutes can cause it to drop 10-20%, and even when it's totally turned off overnight, if it's not plugged in it can drop to 20% or lower from a full charge just sitting on my end table.
Any suggestions/ideas?
EDIT: I wanted to add that I tend to use the most up to date CM mod, but have been trying Cronos since the battery life was touted so highly. Unfortunately, I find that Cronos drains the battery slightly faster than the 11.25 mod did. Testing the 11.29 version of CM6 currently.

[Q] Custom ROM´s and battery drain

Hello fellow Galaxy owners,
I have been installing various custom ROM´s for about 2 months now, so I guess you could still call me a beginner. Recently it has been difficult to keep up with all the latest and greatest advances in kernels and ROM´s. Being a father I don´t have as much time as I used to, to read through the mountain of information on the forums.
It is for this reason that I ask for some simple advice. I have found that Hamster, Instanity and DocRom ROM´s are all very fine pieces of work and they are blisteringly fast. The GPS is fast, the themes are epic but alas the battery life is pretty bad (well for me at least).
I must admit thought that I am obsessed with my phone and I use it constantly to read the news, check emails and stream internet radio while I am driving in my car on a daily basis.
I currently have DocRom slim V3 installed after having done a complete fresh installation. But despite being fast it seems to be very hungry on the power consumption.
Do I need to cycle it through some complete battery discharge cycles and fully charge it, then reset the battery stats in CWM recovery? Does it need some days to settle? Or should I flash different Kernels and see which one gives me the best life? If the latter then which kernel do you recommend for JPU?
Thanks in advance!

Same here
With 3g my I9000 die after 10 hours!
With 2g die after 14 hours!
With data network mode deactivated die after 30 hours!
I don't know if changing baseband or kernel will help or not!
BR

I'm having pretty good battery life without any network and LiveWallpapers turned off... just simple black screen it stayed ON for 4 days with some WiFi surfing, PDF reading and music listening player/online radio. So I guess network is draining the most.

I don't know if this is your case, I used to have the beautiful widgets weather widget on my home screen, and after soem time I realized this app was constantly refreshing and consuming LOTS of battery.
If you have it, removing it will increase your battery life too.

I have same problem,i do have the beautiful weather widget installed and think it looks nice on home screen,maybe this is the batt killer??
What other programs does the same? I like the watch and weather widget to be shown..?

[Q] Why is my battery life so awful?

I was at 100% battery at around 2:40pm today. I left and went to my brother's for Christmas lunch. Now, at 4pm, it's at 67%. All I did was Facebook (via the browser) and listen to some music (not the entire time). I frequently killed all the running apps, too.
I'm running Axura RC 2.5. I flashed it via Clockwork Recovery.

No, they don't. It's all related to how the Android OS manages applications. There's a ton of info about it - just google it. If you have battery draining issues, most of the time it's because you left something running that's constantly downloading/connecting to 3G or is doing something CPU intensive. Take the new Facebook app for example - if you use the chat function and you don't log out, it keeps you logged in and that will suck your battery dry. If 3G is spotty, you'll also have battery drain as the phone switches back and forth from edge to 3G, trying to connect.
I used a task killer when I first got my phone, because some moron at the AT&T store recommended it. My battery life got much better when I unloaded that crappy app.

I don't use FB chat, nor have I had unstable connections. I've had constant HDSPA all day. Could it be an issue with the ROM? I have WiFi, Bluetooth, & GPS turned off, as well as Brightness as low as it can go.

Hold down the home button and open task manager...
Also i noticed that using 3g on low signal kills the battery, try to use wifi...
You can also try assonance, i think its clocked 200 mhz less than axura, so you might perceive more battery, and it is as stable
Or try recalibrating the battery
Pd maybe it is an issue with the modem draining too much battery, you could try a different one, i bet if you dissable 3g your bat will improve a lot

Custom ROMs give you more speed, more power, more more more. That comes at a cost. You will have crappy battery life with some ROMs, and other ROMs may have better battery life.

I wanted to try Assonance, but whenever I tried flashing it via Clockword recovery, it froze at 'installing update..'. About to try Darkys 7.0.1.

Could it be a deffective battery? I used to get 7 hrs heavy use (web, games, music) with my original battery. I bought a backup battery (same thing, Samsung OEM 1500mh) and I am impressed I am now getting 12-18 hrs with heavy to moderate use. I guess I had a bad battery to beging with.

elektrisk,
has your battery life changed since you first flashed axura? if so, it is most likely due to an app you installed after flashing the rom. if your battery life has always been "awful" then you should consider flashing a different kernel, or another rom & kernel altogether

[Q]Battery Life on LG O2x, how to make it last long?

Hey guys, just got my O2x a week ago and its great. It was flashed with 2.3 and at some point I tested updating using LG Suite and I went to 2.2.2
Anyway, just asking if how long do your batteries (stock) last? Tested mine about 3 days ago and within a day it got drained. Just using browser and played some music and that's it, no Youtube or heavy games or whatsoever. Already rooted my phone and removed everything that LG has there except for the keyboard, Suite, Mobile Support, and Home Launcher. Still, same results. Please help!!

I have been using the free version of juice defender and that has help my battery a little so I now cab get a good couple of days out of it. The free version only really stops data when the phone is locked but it seems to work quite well. I also installed juice plotter to see when my battery gets eaten.

Thanks will do that. So basically battery drains more if mobile data is on? Haven't really experience that on my old phone (which is not Android OS).

I had to charge mine every night and sometimes 2 times a day.
Now, on a GB ROM, and with mobile data OFF, it last for at least a day (24h). This is with WiFi on (when awake of course).
Install a widget to quickly turn on/off mobile data, and only use it when you need. Then your battery will not drain that quickly.
Sorry for my bad english
My battery "record" is over 2 days Well, actually allmost 4 days, but then I didn't have WiFi on neither..

Mobile data is the killer only for badly done apps. Things like fb and twitter that sync every hour etc. Make sure when you install every app you check its sync status. Make them as infrequent as possible
Also try see how low you can get the brightness. Mine stays at 30% until out in the sun (have a widget to up it).
Remember even if not using your phone at home etc to switch tho wifi on as its much better
On good days can get 30/40 hours between charges when low use
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

Worth to mention is that to get the less battery drain from turning on the wifi you have to turn of the data. Some people forget that and leave both on making it a double drain.
My only tip that I have that I know works is use it as little as possible. Turn off every thing that's not needed in the matter of syncing.

I'm no expert but is that right? All of the data goes through the wifi when on and connected so data connection is irrelevant surely?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

Thanks for the input and somehow, I can feel the effects now. Also put LBE Security and turned off most mobile data permission on my apps and even if my Wifi is on, not much of a battery drain but at least it has less loss.

i think that 1day is the real time of this battery with 1charge...intense use...

Yes when wifi is on data is automatically off.... You cannot have both on...
Wifi is no very power consuming when it's connected idle to a network, but think to turn it off if no hotspot is there because network scan drains a lot.

LOL.. anyways, i use juice defender. It does help somehow.

I have a same problem. Using my Optimus with MIUI ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.5) i only have 7 hours.
In my opinion,turning off all data connection to improving battery life, it's not a good idea when we choose Android phone.
So?

O_O My phone came with v20c 2.2.2 and had no issues, ran 3days per charge. Wish I had backups of original ril and BB for they were 100% on any I've tried since going through a bunch of custom roms.

I get 10 hours of *idle* time with 3g enabled. With Juicedefender things are okay, I almost always make it through the day and sometimes even 2 days when I'm not doing anything, but the battery just goes nuts if you use it. Sometimes I browse the web for a minute and bam 5% is gone, and I'm thinking to myself "what the hell just happened?".
You have to be very careful with apps that do not close properly. I discovered that Spotify was draining my phone like crazy and causing it to become very hot (draining it even faster, heat = dead battery in no-time) with no way to prevent this other than uninstalling the app. Then I installed a beta version of Spotify from their website and all is well. AccuWeather also goes nuts sometimes but that's resolved by deleting the widget on my home screen.
I run the latest nightly of CM7. Battery life seems to be about the same as the stock ROM for me. What's interesting is that active 3g data use drains the battery more than playing a game. I can play emulated PSX games for about 5 hours straight on a full battery with data controlled by JD.

Everyone should try the latest rom v20e (or the derivated version topogigi's rom). For me, it improves battery a lot! I don't even use Juice defender (and some people said it worsens battery).

v20e
yes Im on V20e and my battery is preety good !
Almost 2 days and I write almost 100 messanger/day and always wifi on checking emails,fb and more !

Hey guys, haven't posted since testing for about week, I guess...
Anyway, battery seems to be ok now. Juice Defender and Plotter works great, plus now on sleep, it just drain 1% per 2-3hrs or sometimes nothing at all, and its not SOD thats for sure.
Also tried Battery Calibration, it worked somehow also so with lots of messaging, wifi, FB, Tap Sonic, plus downloading torrents, lasted 24hrs in full charge with constant use.

2g + Wi-Fi drains the battery much faster than 3G + Wi-Fi for me. Both have a good signal strength.
Anyone know why this is?
