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.

I understand if my battery was at 71-78F but my battery was at almost 97F just sitting in my pocket...
Hmm, I think it's weird that the battery still drops 15% when the phone is off...

Simple Poll.
Have you seen a decrease or increase?
Someone can explain this battery drain?
in a lot of roms based on 2.2.1 there is a big battery drain, in some other there isn't.

Reboot after unplugging from USB and battery drain is gone. For further improvement install SetCPU and reduce min/max frequency. I am getting more or less the same lifetime as with donut ROMs.

OK I have done.. but the problem is that when I use it 3 o 4 minutes (for example I install an application using a file explorer, then I read a message and then I come back to home) m battery get 5% lower...
In standby I lose 10% in 6 - 7 hours (I think this is normal).

I am currently without a computer therefore immune to this USB bug. I flashed CM6.1 to this and the other g1 and both suffered substaintial amounts of battery drain so I nandroid restored back to CSDIv4 and still the lowest frequencies and settings did little to combat the descending digits. So I tried this...
Recalibrated my battery
Flashed SuperWipe.zip
Reboot
Flashed SparksMod's latest
Reboot
Wiped battery stats
Unplugged...reboot
Battery lasted 23 hours the first day never seen anything like it.
Lifes great.

I'm using TMUS-G1-Froyo CM6 remix..
and I'm using the new radio with +14mb.
The rom flies but the battery go down too fast.
I'm using setCPU with 256 - 528 mhz while screen is on, 122 - 256 mhz while screen off.
If I go to battery use in settings I see
Cell standby 45%
display 28%
phone idle 22%
android system 3%
I don't think is normal... cell standby is the battery use by cell radio..
I wonder if the new radio give a big battery drain..

I got real excited when I heard about the new radio and hboot even thought that its exclusion was the source of the the battery issues. Haven't been able to try it as I'm without a up-to-date PC at the moment.
It would be real nice if I could find a seasoned dev who understands battery consumption. I thought the kernal was the main culprit but I've tried two different roms with the same kernal and one has notably better battery life than the other. So confusing.

I can't use my phone with this battery drain...
I will come back to official android OTA-AOSP 1.6.. with +14mb.
So I'll test if this kernel with 14mb is a cause of battery drain.
PS: I'm not a lover of rom customizations.. I think the official roms are the best.
The other are all too heavy. I'm not a fan of cm kernel, that is too heavy for g1.
I would see an official OTA 2.2 without customizations, so every one could customize as he want, and if he want.
PS: OK I flashed AOSP 1.6 using ezBiff_kernel to have 15mb (cause I have new radio and spl, so I can flash roms only using this kernel).
Result: my battery life is similar to froyo 2.2 roms... so the problem is:
1) Kernel? (ezBiff_kernel is based on cyanomod kernel... ... ... heavy as death)
2) New radio/spl?
3) My battery (I don't think so.. it's new battery. I buy it 2 weeks ago and in the beginning it works so well.. but then I flashed new radio/spl and new kernel for 15mb..)

Come now.. the cm pershoot kernels are super optimized so they don't collapse under the heavy as death rom that is usually on top of it..
I get mixed results with that kernel between testing and feedback.
A test phone can idle on wifi+2g for days on the stock g1 battery even after a usb unplug.. but on more common use with syncing services its not performing as well as I'd like..
Some of it is fixed with less swap/compcache or changing clock speeds 122/480 for most the speed but lower voltage levels. Also the interactive governor may work better.. I'm testing these ideas if results are good my next kernels defaults will use them.
Cm/pershoot have some interesting new power management code from other htc devices.. So hopefully soon all will be better. (I merged most of it to my kernel but there are some loose ends.. works well untill the phone locks up.. so no public release yet)

Ok sorry I talk without knowledge. I really don't know the effect of the cm kernel. I only know that all roms based on cm release, with cm kernel, are so heavy and slow.
I like your rom (2.2.1 AOSP) and I love your new way to get 14mb.
But I have this orrible problem. My phone has a lot of battery drain when I use it. With screen off, no problems.
I have never used swap or compcache in this days, and I also try different clock speeds (not over 528mhz).
The result is that when I unlock my phone, I go to settings, I see for example 95% battery. Ok, I return to home, I open a message, I return to home, I open contacts and I scroll some contacts without make calls.
Then I come back to battery settings and I see that is 92-93%..
in 2 minutes of soft use.. I think this is impossible. If I open stupids 2D games... ahah in 5-10 minutes my battery lose 10 - 20%.
I remember 1 year ago, with 1.6 (no cyanomod) my battery was good.
Now it isn't (I have a new battery).
Today I flashed aosp 1.6 with your kernel for 14mb (I have new radio&spl) but nothing... I lose a lot of battery percent as in froyo.
So I think problem is or battery calibration, or something to wipe, or cm kernel, or new radio&spl + your new kernel...
Now I'm recalibrating battery (is at 1% from 2 hours, I'm not using it.. ) then I will recharge for 8 - 9 hours and then wipe battery state, but I have done this process a lot of time without a benefit.
I'll try to remove the new radio+spl (so also using standard kernel) if my battery continue to lose percents so fast.
I'll keep you update on my "story".
PS: Sorry for my bad english!! XD
OK.. after a day of low discharging and a night of 8 hour of recharging, I wiped battery states, I wiped data-cache-ext ecc... I flashed aosp 1.6 and ezbiff kernel..
"battery drain" continue...
I will try tomorrow to reflash death-spl and old radio..
BTW, is normal for hours battery 4v at 90%?
On the back of the battery sais 3.7v... I thought 3.7 was the voltage for 100%
Update
I know this thread is a little old, but I ran into this problem as well. What I found was that the official US radio (2.22.23.02) used considerably more battery than the international one (2.22.19.26i). The other thing I noticed is that switching to "use 2G networks only" in mobile networks settings and disabling data over mobile drastically improved battery life.
I also noticed that wifi used a fair bit of juice so my recommendation is to disable wifi if you're going to be on the go for a bit, and disable data/3g if you're just going to be hanging out in the local webcafe, your/a friend's house, or some other location with wifi access for a while.
If you wanted to be ambitious and cared enough you could write a script to use as a shortcut on the home screen to do the swap automatically (detect which setting(s) are enabled and swap them to the opposite).
With those changes, you should get much better battery life. My thoughts on different Froyo flavors is that possibly different builds have different settings by default. Cyanogen comes with data and 3g enabled by default so this will quickly suck out your battery if you're running your 3g, 2g and wifi antennas all at once.
The stock build (1.6) got about the same battery life as I'm getting now with those settings applied. With either build, having all antennas on all the time will drain your battery very rapidly. Being a little more cognizant of the settings (perhaps you also had it set to 2g only on the stock build) you're using will significantly improve your battery life. And when I say significantly, I mean night and day (but the antenna version definitely does also make a difference... at least in my case).
im with tsunami rom (AOKP) with semaphore 2.5.0S and the battery is really awful... with and without 3G it just keep going down... (20 minutes without use + 3G off, 10% and gone...) if ill will update the semaphore it will help? to run clean kernel script? and if yes before or after the installation?
if not what can i do? its awful...
the problem is in the device of in the battery? if device in hardware or software?
Have you calibrated the battery? If no, then use battery calibrator from the play store.

you could download Betterbatterystats and run without charging. you may know which process is drinking battery juice.
i have faced that problem. It may be caused by modem, kernel, process which disturb deep sleep.
Better try the rom 2~3days. sometimes battery gets better.
Os monitor with root is also good to find which process is using cpu.

Hello guys, sorry for my bad english, but I'm not American. Well, my question is:
I bought from a guy a Galaxy S I900b, Brazilian model with digital TV. Came with stock 2.3. As I had already read enough before, upgraded to JWB Saurom with semaphore kernel, which I think is the default for this rom. Well, the phone had very poor battery life, evn on idle. Then upgraded to 10.2 CM. I saw that had some wakelocks, and with BBS and the help here, I used the Scan Media Root and my problems are gone in iddle. So, my phone goes into deep sleep and today during my sleep, only lost 3% battery, 3% battery drain on idle during about 5-6 hours it very good to me. But during use, it ends up very fast, and with GSAM and standard monitor of the android, I saw that after the screen, the Android system was what had higher %% battery. So what could it be ? The battery life is ok, checked on info, and its condition is 'good'. I use to Greenify, and close almost every game\app, so running is just grenify and ram manager pro.
So the prob just could be a app or the 'android system' ? Or even hardware ?
I dont have much time now, so any info or screenshot you want, I can provide later
Thanks
What about your connections? Do you have 3G/wifi enabled at all times?
calibrate....maybe useless, but u can try....but somehow, try bigger mAh battery, maybe.....n maybe .... it will help.
juz charge it with screen turn on till it full, n waste it to 0% till it shut down, turn it on n charge it with screen on till it full again, u ll be fine
if problem occur again, keep an eye for sneaky app that run at background (email...exchange etc) n juz delete some sys app that u dont use using titanium.
if it still occur again, wait for arc reactor battery....

I've deleted the batterystats.bin and used until 0%, so charged while off, but nothing :C
It's true that the battery needs to 'learn' ? Like, a few charges and discharges and could estabilize ?
I'll take a few screenshots right now
Callibration of you battery eg: Wipe battery stats is onluy helpfull when you get weird battery stats.
If you are on any CyanogenMod ROM you have to get used to the higher ammount of battery use by the phone. The application Greenify can help a lot by hibernating the huge battery suckers like facebook and google maps.
Some tips:
- use 2G instead of 3G
- Turn WIFI off when you're outside the house or leaving for some time
- Turn GPS/Bluetooth on only when you're about to use it
- Dont use taskkillers (they are used to free up ram but killing apps makes android restarts them and this consumes extra juice)
- Put brightness on Auto
- Use a dark theme and background/lockscreenwallpaper
- Dont recharge your phone when below 5% this can damage the battery
- A new battery needs to "Get used to" the life of being a battery xD After a few recharging cycles it will work like normal
Here some screenshots, if need more, just ask
Note: Was with 14%batt, rebooted and drops to 11-10%

i am using greenify on almost everything.
used to use ram manager, but now i've disable it.
brightness is on low
I really dunno what 2 do ... almost 1 week with it and this insane drain, everyone says that plays or browser on wifi and get almost 10 hours... my dream this happen to me lol
Remember that this is just on use, on idle it use virtually nothing, like I said, almost 3% on sleep, but is just I start use with app or browser and its gone
Screens are from a too short period of useage. Use it from fully charged, and make some new screenies This can help futher
Well i got problems with my battery too so im planning to buy a new one because this one cant even handle 3-4 hours when im doing something like playing games,or listening music...Just buy new battery with more mAh and dont get bother with this :laugh:

think that I cant trust in it ... and will have to buy a new one
if calibrate doesnt work, hardware faulty, change ur battery mate.

About 2 hours later that I fully charged, here are some ss
Just used whatsapp and opera in this time
I was thinking in change my kernel, currently I'm using semaphore 3.0 with CM10.2, is Latrop or Mackay better in battery life ?
I think its my last shot ... I'll provide a new battery next week, but i've heard some people with batt probs that even with new batt the problem persists :crying:

It looks like wifi and 3G have been kept on for most/all of the time. Turning those off while you're not using them may significantly increase battery life.
Also, related to kernels, personally I've found Mackay to be a bit better in terms of battery.
Also it looks like your screen's pretty bright if 61% of the battery usage is because of it. So if you don't need it so bright turning the brightness down may help.
Start by doing those, and see how your battery life fares first- if not much changes, then it may help getting a bettery battery/changing rom even.

So, like i said, in this 2 hours after charge, i've used opera mini with wifi, I dont use 3g. Right now the battery is less than 10%... it's strange since have people telling that can use almost 5 hours wifi and the battery is > 50%
And the brightness is at lowest bright :\
The problem could be some corrupted file ? I have the options:
- format EVERYTHING, and dont use titanium backup, since somthing can be corrupted.
- change my kernel to Mackay
- change my room back to SAUROM 2.3.6 adn semaphore kernel
I'm very sad cuz I have a very old Nokia E5 that can be on with wifi almost or more than 10hours ... and this phone can barely hold 5hour
What u suggest me to do ?

How long have you been using the rom? Roms take time to calibrate the battery and this is through charge/discharge cycles.
Alternatively, go into Performance settings and change the profile to powersave/conservative (it differs from rom to rom). Lock the min CPU frequency to 200mHz- apparently this helps.
Again, this would change depending on your kernel.
And if you have a three year old battery like mine, best not to expect miracles...

Using bout 2 days ... but i didnt knew about ' calibrate '. Good to know that
Now i've formated everything and will put a stock 2.3 and see in a couple of days the perfomance ... if gets better, I put the saurom 2.3.6 and be with it, cuz 2.3.6 on brazilian model allow to use digital tv, and 2.3 everyone says is economic.
I'll get this updated if my situation changes, if not, will buy a new battery
Thanks for all your help
Note: How long your batt last ? With high\low usage
Hi
There is a wierd problem withy battery usage
On stock factory image
On pure Nexus ROM
And with elemen x kernel
I have this problem
My system UI is on top of battery usage
What should I do?
Thanks
Install better battery stats and see what app is offending the system. Otherwise clean flash and try again to see if the same problem still exists. Also stay on the Purenexus kernel to see if the problem is still there. Hopefully that should identify the wakelock.

i changed to stock
with stock kernel
clean install
and the problem still there
That's what better battery stats would tell you to localise the issue and this would require a days observation and so on. Try different gapps packages perhaps but I wouldn't know specifically what your issue would be.
