The battery drains very fast even when I'm not really using it, it uses about 20% of electricity just for 9 hours of idle.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I am also on 2.3.3 and constantly draining the battery completely and charging it several hours past the green light to make the most of the battery, but I still have to kill WIFI and 3G to even get it through ONE day, and that's only standby.
Donno if it was better b4 i upgraded 'cos I only had 2.1 the first day.
Thinking of getting the 3rd-party 1750mA battery, ASAP.
Also hoping the good guys can Root this phone soon, and warriorvibhu makes a swirling fast SUnAaBh-Sense-Rom for it. That would be fantastic!
I absolutly can't say that i have the same problem - actually, my experience is just the opposite.
Try to folow the steps in this post.
Yes there is an issue with the Incredible S dialer using a high amount of battery even while idling. This issue has cropped up after the 2.3.3 update.
The DHD is experiencing a similar issue. No fixes yet. Probably a bug in the ROM.
I just can't understand it. Why can't HTC make firmware that doesn't crave so much power? Don't they betatest at all?
I've tried the jkolner-trick vigorously and got a few hours more, but still not accepting i can't have it on standby for more than 24h. It truly SUCKS!
SO longing for S-Off so i can get the HD-Rom. Damn HTC!!!
Try airplane mode during the night, i went from 10-15% to about 3% overnight.
I had the same issue
Resetting Battery Stats solved my problem.

Being disappointed with the bad battery life since the stock GB update (which took like 30% battery idling over night, vs 10% in Froyo), I installed CM7.1 stable. However, things went to worse, and CM7 took 75% battery in 8h after a full charge and a reboot! I tried since the last nightly and some older basebands, and left my phone with ~50% battery in the evening, only to find it shut off (because battery depleted) in the morning!
I suspect it's caused by 3G, because if I disable mobile data, the phone consumed only 1% in 2h of idling.
Does anybody has this problem too? Any advice?
Thanks!
Try the latest nightly 204.
The battery lasting as with the original GB ROM.
I am on the nightly 204 since few days and it is OK from the battery side.
Thanks for the reply!
I already tried 204, but it was the same. I also tried a lot of different basebands, but all were draining battery. I used smartflash to flash v10b, and then flashed the v10f kdz, the last that didn't drain my battery off. It contains BB 725, which I also had tried with CM7.
I'll try to restore the CM7 backup to see if it still drains my battery and keep this thread updated with the results.
check with spareparts what is using the battery (partial wake up). I bet it's google maps latitude!
There is a Google maps entry, but the usage is minimal.
So after 6h on stock v10f that consumed 5% I restored on top of that versions BB the cm7 backup. With a few minutes screen on (me checking the consumption), my battery bleeded 9% in an hour!
I have exactly the same problem :-(
No idea about that...
No special entry in battery consumption.

Yesterday I downloaded this http://uploaded.to/file/tgpilbek Kang on my O2x and that is best rom regarding to battery life which i put on my O2X in few weeks. In 24 hours of moderate use i am still on 70%. And everything else just work fine. And I must say that i tried bunch of roms lately, from all 20L to all CM7 kangs I could find.

I already use this kang since 3rd dec. Problem is still present.
Also tried different kernels with 203 nightly like swiftextreme or vork. No noticeable battery improvement.

Look at the details, how much time did it run? 15m in hours could drain the battery so much fast!
post your signal strength in 3G or 2G, and then post your betterstats screenshoot for wakelock activity. then we can predict what is the problem.
I flashed o lot of BB/RIL combinations, so I cannot make the screenshots. In the partial wakelocks submenu there was a Maps entry, and it was like 5s for like 6h, so I supposed that wasn't very much.
Right now I'm trying the combination BB from V20C (VDF Romania) with RIL 606 from V10c Euro Open, which seems to behave somewhat better than other tried combinations.
Hello, it's me again with problems. I have an extremely battery drain, even Juice Deffender can't handle on this. When I put the phone on charger, when he turns off after 0 % battery status, indicator shows me 50 % min after only few seconds on charger, and it's fully charged for half an hour maybe. When I turn on 3g and connect to Net, from 100 % to 0% is ONLY 15 min ?!?! I have cm-7-20120812-NIGHTLY-cooper ROM, but when I had offical 2.3.6, it was the same problem. Can I check some-how what is the problem- software, calibration or battery? I did a few calibration without any success. I'm really sorry on my very bad English. I will be grateful if anybody can redirect me on the right topic. Thanks in advance
3G eats a huge battery. I would not expect anything nice from it. But seems that your problem is a bit more problematic. How long do you have your phone?
Make sure you are charging your phone until its actually full not just when it says 100% look here for more details:

Did you try wiping battery stats in CWM or recalibrating it?
I've tried wipe stats with Battery Calibration, and with CWM wipe battery stats. I've tried different ROMs, DroidACE, official 2.3.6, cooper nightly ROMs, and all of them have same problem. I've noticed that the battery is a little thicker in the middle, before it was flat, and now is a little convex in the middle. I've tried also discharging and charging for a 5+ hours, didn't help me. literally be emptied by 20 min of Use

Sheesh guys. Battery Calibration doesn't affect battery life on your phone. It's just for accurate readings -_-"

Yeah man, Ive got the same problem.
If I charge it for about 3-4 Hours, I get a max of 5 Mins or so, with Wi-fi on.
When the Battery is about 10%, and I put it to charge, It immediately says 99% charged.
I've changed 2 roms, and still no effect, infact, its got worse.
Even Juice defender (even the ultimate version) dosent work, Not even Underclocking.
I saw the battery recalibrating thing and Ive wiped the battery stats, still no use.
I think there's a problem with the battery itself?
Im just sick of it.

I also think that the battery itself has a problem, not any ROM. I'll go to service for a few days and I'll tell you about what was the problem.

Anyways, thanks man
If it's deformed, then your battery's life is over, that's it, get a new one.
You can try the freezing method to try and squeeze it for a bit of juice:
Charge to 100, Plastic wrap, in the freezer for maybe an hr (not too long), take it out, put it in your phone, charge it till it says fully charged, turn on your phone and check duration.
seems a deep sleep issue
Just abuy a new battery. I suggest a Anker branded one. Search a battery review topic at the Accesoires section. If you buy the Anker 1400mAh, your battery life will be even better than the original battery life. And Anker is trusted and cheap.

I listened to your advice and bought a new battery, now I'll see what was the problem, battery or maybe hardware/ROM. I'm charging it now. Any advice how to charge new battery? Advice for scripts or ROMs? I'm going to use nightly cooper cm 7.2 and juice deffender. What about cm9 and this model?

Since we're in 2012, I'm guessing it's a lithium ion battery.
Just plug it in and wait for some time (~15 minutes)after it reaching 100% to actually fully charge.
It would be best if you don't let it discharge below 20-30%.
Read more about lithium ion batteries by searching around the web for more info.

So, How did it go?
Was there a problem in the battery?
or, is something wrong in the phone?
there was a problem in battery, I bought a new battery, not Samsung, but also has 1350 mAh capacity, and it's 2nd time on charging, life is about 2 days of using, average 2-3 h 3g, and playing games, half hour voice and maybe 30 sms and mails, and for me this is a very huge improvement from 15 minutes before death battery. Cheers, sorry again on my bad English

Hmm, I did get slight improvement once i calibrated using another app.
But Im still getting a new battery
anyone knows why phone's display blink-up randomly? I saw that earlier, and I thought that was because of battery, but obviously, wasn't that. It's totaly random. And, I have another question, I've played with *#*#4636#*#* code, and sometimes phone can't receive or sent messages, except when preffered network type is GSM only and only after turning on and again off airplane mode. I have cooper cm 7.2 newest nightly ROM.

I had the same issue when I was using Elegant white by TAZ.
But Then I flashed a fix for it.
I suggest you should too get in touch with the dev.
But first, flash the rom again.

Thank you. Anyone knows where is the official topic for cm 7.2 nightly cooper? I found one topic in development section, but at the end of it someone wrote that topic is closed on developer's request. And where I can find changelog? I saw that there is newest nightly update from 19.8. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=cooper
Hi,
So I bought an Anker 1800mah battery about two months ago, thought that would improve battery life.
Thing is, even though I own the I9000 a very long time, I don't know how battery life should be.
So my question is...
For example, if I have data and GPS on and screen on, is it normal that I get 1% drain every 1.5-2 minutes?
Using ICS CM9.

Turn gps off and set brightness to around 20%. You should then lose 1% roughly every 3:30 - 4:00 minutes.
Weird I lose 1% every 10 min sometimes more

Hi all,
First, from what I remember, my old battery acted somewhat the same. Also, I used it for a year and a half, and have totally destroyed it because of all the calibrations. By a calibration I mean draining the battery to 0%, charging to 100%, doing it about 3-4 times... Only later I have learned that it is not healthy to the battery to do that so many times. That's why I only did this 3 times with my new battery (Manufacturer instructions).
Now, thing is, I gave the example with the data and GPS on and screen on because I used GPS for navigations a lot of times. So, I can't turn off GPS. About the brightness, its set to automatic all the time, so I see no reason to modify it myself.
I'm currently using CM9 Blueberry edition but I'm planning to change to JB in a few days. Even though I doubt it, any chance battery life will improve with JB?
Latrop, with the same settings? Having data + GPS + screen on all the time (10 min)? Are you sure?
Mine did not sure bout yours

Hello everybody When my battery is charged on display i see only 92% and battery drain very fast. when wifi is on for a couple hours and that's it i must plug charger on stock GB that's not case... also when i play games i got warning for low battery(14%) and after i leave phone battery goes to 22% And major problem for me is Calendar doesn't sync with contact birthdays
TY
GB is more powersaving ROM than JB is, so don't expect a better battery life using CM10. How long did your battery take to go completely flat using GB ROM?

Cm nightly is experimental version, so bugs like this are possible. I think you should try stable version of cm, for example : cm 10.0.0.
now i'm on cm 10

Hello !
Firstly, Wifi (and GPS) are very energy consuming, so yes, if your wifi is on and you are using it for a couple of hours, you may have no more battery left in the end. Maybe stock GB handle "wifi-sleeping" better than JB do (and as it has already been stated, JB consume much more than GB due to higher RAM usage (mostly))
Concerning the drop from 14% to 22%, it make sense for me since battery stat is also calcultated considering current and average usage, so if you were playing your phone think : "oh, I won't be able to handle this state for a long time", and after when you stopped it thinks : "ok, it was not that bad if things stay like this.
Conserning calendar, no idea
