Hello everyone
I need help with a problem I have had since a week or two.
The battery life of my phone is drastically low (check screenshot).
I bought 2 additional batteries, one genuine battery and one 3rd party battery. And they didn't help.
I am using the latest CM7 kang from temasek with the latest Etana kernel. But I have tried to downgrade to the stock LG rom, and still the same.
I haven't got any "hungry" apps running in the background because I freshly installed the latest CM7 kang for testing.
I think it was caused when I pulled out the battery when the phone froze, I was testing my new bought HDMI cable. The battery was fully charged >95% and when I pulled out and reinserted the battery I noticed it had about 6% left.
I think it has something to do with the insides of the phone.
And I hope someone can help me out here!
In the screenshots, I left the phone untouched for more than 12 hours.

Yeah I was getting the same with CM7 some weeks ago.
I was also having the battery drain in about 8 hours from full. It all appeared suddenly, with no new apps installed and good batterylife the day before. Was using stock 20q and changed rom to wiui, wich helped. Never figured out what caused it, had similar battery history as OP.

Thanks, I will try WIUI out.
I have also used CM7 and a couple of stock based roms to and never encountered this before. It all seems pretty random to me.
Too bad... It didn't work.
I'll try to flash different roms.
Thanks again.
Have you tried to reset the batery stats in CWM? Might help...
Charge to 100%, reset stats in CWM, drain till the phone shuts down by itself hand charge again to 100%

I once had this all of a sudden with the MoDaCo FR19.
Hot battery, 8h till full discharge.
Never found out what caused it, but a factory reset, FULL wipe and reflashing sorted it out for me.
Good luck solving the issue.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried resetting the battery stats multiple times with no effect.
And what is the "good" way to do a full wipe?
I always format the data/cache/dalvik/system partitions. Is that how you do it?
Make sure your baseband and ril match, if not sure check stickies
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2
Nothing works!
I tried changing roms, kernels, basebands, RILs and I can't seem to fix the problem.
Does anyone have other tips?
When I bought the phone, my number 1 concern was the battery life. I easily reached a minimum of 24 hours of average usage after I spent a long time looking for battery saving techniques/tweaks.
But now, I am very disappointed!
I really hope this can be fixed!
Well, i think everybody has been through this... In my case drain was coming in 8 hours time, but with the complete wipe and the rom changing it got away, and I never really bored in looking for the thing that was causing the problem.
This morning i was very surprised to see that during the night ( 3G on ) my LG P990 consumed only 1% Battery per Hour .
End charge at 12PM ( 100%) , founf at 94% at 7AM
This, to me, is a great resoult!!!!

How do you do a complete wipe?

I diconnected my phone from the charger, and it was at 100% at 830 this morning and now at 1130 it is at 56%/. This is after probably abotu 1-1.5 hours of browsing the web on my phone and configuring widgets.
I was wondering if that is normal battery drain? I have been flashing my phone quite a bit lately and it seems that the battery life is not that great. I have already recalibrated my battery as well.
Also my phone is overclocked to 1.3ghz.
You might want a second opinion but I'm going to say yes
If there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man.
1130 AM? If so that is not good at all.
Not good at all, I am running Pinnacle 1.2 for 29. 5 hours since last charge and I have 29% remaining, that includes roughly 3 hours display on time and just shy of 1 hour phone calls.
Very happy with Pinnacle 1.2

Yeah 11:30 AM. Perhaps I should look into flashing another rom, although I have been very happy with Apex 9.2 except with this battery issue.

If you're on Apex, try going without the overclock and switching to the DarkCore kernel. That might help your battery life a little bit.
Did the phone feel hot?
What kind of sites were you hitting? White background? Lot's of Flash?
You've got three things that I see hitting your battery hard - the data transfers, the screen and the CPU usage. Depending on how your overclock is set up, I'd guess it's causing your CPU to use at least 30% more juice.
I can get days of idle time, but only hours of heavy use out of my battery. There are certain web sites and games that seem to suck the battery dry.

I am already running dc 3.1. I may try to undo the overclock.

Nothing really intensive. Mostly just xda forums.
I notice that I get much better battery life with i897 roms vs i9000 roms.

Sounds like you have an app running wild.
Well when my phone is on standby, I find that it drains at a reasonable rate. It is just when I use my phone that it drains fairly quickly.
You're doing it wrong.

29.5 hours? With Pinnacle 1.2 I'm getting about 8 hours with moderate use
Agree with jsfLip!
With moderate use, my Cap get out of battery in 8-10h.
Iam using Pinnacle 1.2, its standby status is quite good! 1-2% after 8h standby at night!
Please have a try!

and whats the definition of moderate use? Sorry I ask this but I have seen people with 4:30 hours of display calling it moderate.
Plus you need to caliberate your battery
Can't figure it out.

I've tried different settings on my phone and have not been able to get your kind of battery life.
I recently flashed MosaicVI and using the JV6 modem. After using this modem I have been getting better results but not quite as good as your.
What I'm trying to find out is there any certain setting you have your phone in, i.e. only on WiFI, Auto Display, sound, Disabling Your data when not using it? I would really love to get this kind of results. I'm sure everyone else would to.
Oh, I've also cycled my phone battery 3 times everytime I flash a different ROM. Please school me up on how to get those results.
P.S. I tried to quote you and reply but me being new to posting comments did not let me.
Go to market and download "Data switch". You will see marked improvement to your battery life.
So is that the secret? "Data switch".
All it does is turn off data usage so your cappy is not using data for all the background services (synch and such). Its what I use when I want the battery to last and don't need a data connection.
I observe of the 2 jb leaks ls7 and lsa, I find battery drain is more in lsa. Did anyone else experience the same?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Pff I don't call it drain, I call it waste...
I thought LS7 was bad, but LSA is really crazy...
Losing 20% battery in 2 hours while the screen is off and the phone is idle/standby.
the battery drain in the jb leak was pretty high ...so I moved to alliance jb rom . my battery life is decent now.
I just did a whole day at uni with heavy use for most the day wifi on nearly the whole day.... after 11 ish hours i had 15% left ..... ultimate lsa.... seems good to me.
No. LSA is greattt here

No clue though why 2 programs say that it's 7h+, but the other says 9h+
I never had battery issues on LS7.
When I first flashed LSA it was draining like mad.
No other problems though. After two days of 'burn in'
without any improvement, I decided to wipe cache+dalvik+battery.
Result : Bootloop. Only solution, full wipe + 3formats and reflash.
After this my battery life is normal.
Hope my story will help some, just wipe and reflash.....
Oh and I didn't recover anything by titanium, I just reinstalled my apps from playstore
both times I flashed.
Just for being complete: I followed the flash instructions of the OP as usual

Even though I only recovered like 1 program with titanium.

Hello people,
first of all I want to say that I know there are more questions like this one, but I couldn't find an up-to date one.
I'd prefer an ICS or later rom since.. well the GB roms are quite outdated, but if you know a rom which offers a great battery life don't hesitate to tell about it.
I'm corrently using CM10 unofficial from Pengus77:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
Here is a screenshot of my current battery life with light use (no data, little wifi for whatsapp and sometimes checking my timetable screenshot) :

And it's not like I have an ancient battery or something ( +- half a year old).
Hello!
I'm using Paranoid Android and I like it a lot. Battery life is really great. I'm using my phone from morning till the night and almost always battery last long enough. I'm using it for surfing, listening music, phone calls, messages so I think that this is really nice rom.
AW: [Q] Good battery ROM
Got to confirm that! Using PA with Kowalski kernel 113, OC @ 1,3 GHz some small UV and a great app as recommended by pengus and tonyp which is greenify! Take a look at it

Wise choice.
Note: Don't judge the battery too fast. Wait till it have done a few cycle charges (meaning: plug charger in at a low battery percentage, keep it charching till its 100% - repeat few times.).

Yes, I will (although a lot of people say you should only charge to 80/90% to not overcharge your battery)
What governor are you all using btw? just normal interactive?
Update: installed the rom, all my apps, filled in my preferences/personal customisation etc. and I lost about 25%
so everything seems to go quite well with this rom.
Just one question:
what is a good alternate theme instead of the xperia one?

Well, here are the results of the PA rom:
As you can see the battery life is MUUUCH better. This is at almost the same usage as seen on the other screenshot so It's a fair comparison.
Thank you for informing me about this great rom and as a token of my esteem I'll give you all a :good:.

OK, one more thing ofc is that when my Note goes below 50% the screen starts to flicker, or backlight that is.
So my question is: Is my battery dead or is it something with my Note? Has anyone had this kind of problem?

I dont see any reason for issues except your screen power utilization is high...can you try to install apk night mode which can help to reduce your screen brightness. Also do a "Clear Dalvik Cache" if possible install the lates gapps and try should fix the problem. Let me know.

Battery drain so fast everyday.
I browsed through internet website and found some help as below.
1. backup all data needed.
2. factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. reboot.
battery drain problem solved.
Try clean wipe....
May you got dirty wipe...

So it's been 2 days since my new battery arrived and all's fine. No more flickers and after all day of using and with me it means from 4:30 am till 11:00 pm i was left with 23% of battery.
So the issues was the battery not the roms, kernel, or anything else.
Thx people for all of your advices and help.

yes the samsung batteries are pretty ordinary, one of my friends had a battery failure after 8 months. try not overclocking for an optimum battery performance.
I have been trying to figure out how some of you guys get these amazing battery lives and I'm struggling... I have flashed quite a few roms in the past several days (ICS, CM 10.1 , 10.2) and all of them come with the latest kowalski kernel M1 or exp 126.
with kowalski kernel M1 on TheROM build 13:
the battery lasts only 5-6 hours with about 1 hour normal usage and screen on time...
when the battery goes to 0% and phone turns off I plug in the charger and switch on the phone and it starts from numbers like 70% or 60% ! :silly: after the charging is done I leave the charger on for a few hours at 100%, then I unplug the phone and use it normally (nothing heavy, just few minutes facebook and email with some calls and browsing) the most I got is around 5-6 hours with 1 hour screen-on time :crying:
with kowalski kernel M1 norh on TheROM build 13:
same story but here the situation is worse, after about 5 hours with data and wifi mostly off (just manually switched on when I needed to check something), the battery was about 35% and then suddenly it jumped to 0% and phone shut down! I turn it on and it shows 20% and it works for few minutes then again jumps to 0% and shuts down... :crying:
I have done everything I could and followed any advice I could find related to this issue and nothing seems to help. I flashed the roms after factory reset with fully wiping everything including the internal SD, and I have done at least 4 cycles of full discharge and recharge with the phone turned on for calibration but the situation stays the same.
The battery I use is a new OEM from LG and I bought it 2 weeks ago because I thought the old battery was the problem.
I am currently using TheROM build 13
can you please advice what could solve the issue or what am I doing wrong?
I attached the logs I got using SysLog, on both kernels hope it provides some clues.
I'd greatly appreciate if you can help me out.

That is really frustrating, but... KK battery driver is somewhat intelligent and needs at least 3 full cycles of drain and full charge (100% + another hour) to be calibrated. I have good battery performance with Pengus' CM10. It is really worth a try.

@oneearleft Thanks a lot for your reply, I know about the calibration , I have done that every time....

CM10.1 - tonyp - T-Build 05
cm-10.2-20130824
Stock ICS OptiX Rom
TheROM - build 13
apart from the battery life, everything else is working perfectly with TheROM for my needs, I really hope to find a way to fix the problem
waiting desperately for KK 3.1 kernel ... hope the battery driver gets a good share of pengus' magic
How old is your battery? After 17 months, I bought a new stock battery. The difference was tremendous.
