Poll on Battery Drain - Mini

Hi All,
Just a small poll to check out how long u battery lives for a single charge with medium usage and internet enabled.
Please choose the one among them!
Thank you !

Results will be meaningless since medium usage isn't specified.
Medium usage for one will be different than for someone else.

Make use of some battery drain usage tracker to get better results.
USe AutoKiller Memory Optimizer for saving juice. Also try under clocking your cell phone. (This does not need any ROM, can be done using apps like SetCPU)
Thank You

See mine...

That doesn't help.
What does help is to shut down modem chip and so on with 2xbattery.

Try the free one first it is amazing.

With my average use, battery's life is on 15/16 hours.
If I'm at home wifi is always on, otherwise mobile data is handled by Juice Defender Ultimate.
I use mebitek's rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475504 and SetCpu with this profile:
Default: 729/245 Ondemand
Screen Off: 320/245 Conservative
Battery <30%: 604/245 InteractiveX

Are you serious? I never had less than 8hours battery life even with almost hardcore usage! (movies/gaming/data)

Why not? Maybe your average use is different from mine.
I don't see movies and I play very little (I have only one game on my phone).

Agree on that but I can't imagine how you can waste the whole battery in less than 8-6 hours!
P.S.: Using CyanMobile Revo A @ 806 (smartass2) with data on most time and wi-fi when possible

I'm not interested to Cyan Revo A, I feel good with mebitek's rom.
As I said before, wifi is always on if I'm at home otherwise mobile data is handled by Juice Defender Ultimate.
Moreover, in my opinion, cpu frequency @806 is too high and useless. Battery gets too hot and obviously exhausted much sooner.

Huge battery drain w/ Zeus v6.22

Okay I flashed Zeus yesterday and I like it a lot.. Only problem is the HUGE battery drain, mainly due to phone not going in deep sleep according to CPU spy and battery use (mostly always awake)... I don't know what is causing this but I'm suspecting some apps namely:
Avast! Antivirus
Hotmail (w/ push notifications)
Raging Thunder 2 (strangely open itself, using 1.2mb RAM)
Perfect Applock
Alarm Clock Xtreme
And some traditional one (facebook, twicca,etc)
All apps requiring refresh like Fb and twicca have 4 hours interval..
I didn't OC or anything.
Can anyone help me to improve my battery life?
EDIT: I found the culprit(s)! It was definitely Perfect Applock!! Now no more battery drain! I also turned off push notifications for Hotmail app.

Hotmail is a very "hot" canditate, its famous due his battery drain. To control the apps and his battery consumtion try the app "better battery stats". It will tell you more.
Regards!

Before use "better battery stats" check if your OB go in deep sleep with Cpu Spy
If not, use ZeusTweaker and change governor,after 30 minute replace your favorite Governor (obviously after having checked that the phone goes in deep sleep)
This has worked in my case

Realy strange!
In some cases I have hear, that the alarm app can cause such a behavior.
An other posibility ist a corrupted batterystats file. In this case use batterycalibration to erase this at full charge.
Another good tip ist to charge and discharge the battery 3 times completely.
And an anytime tip is use betterbatterystats to get better information. The author generously offer this app for freee to xda-users, just search here.

Is it a recent problem? due to a new install of CM7?
Check with Cpuspy if the phone enters in deepsleep.
Your plot shows a weak phone signal for some hours but this does not seem to be the cause of the drain. The slope is quiet constant over the time.
Do you have an app running in background?
Philippe

I recommend using the original kernel of CM7 to not have high battery consumption.
Also recommend using the CM Stable because the Nightlys always use a lot of battery.
I use Cm7 Stable with the following tweaks in build.prop to help save battery.
# Save battery
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.sf.hw_lcd_density=240
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
Hope helped you.
Hugs! :silly:

Cm7 original kernel has freezes and sods and this kernel is better although in the gps but the battery was good after i installed it for the first time then battery get worse by time i installed cm9 ultrasound 3 for testing and then get back to the cm7 by nandroid backup then the drain started
When i installed it for the first time it took 0% dor 10 hours of deep sleep next night it took 5% third night it took 10% fourth night it took 15 don't know why
How to know if I have running apps in the background?

Perhaps you should clear the battery stats ... I don't know if the NANDROID restore the batttery stats.

Normal whatsapp and other things small I mean the normal as first time I installed cm7

Strange. If it was app we would see some wacklocks. But there's none. Do nadroid backup and check on stock if the same happens. This could be hardware failure.

No not on the stock only with same cm7 I'm using now first the battery was very very very good but now no let me clear battery status and see If we can do some things
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

without using it only can stay for 10 hours only why????
Zeus can stand for 2% per all night but cm7 powers off after 10 hours

Zeus' battery drain
In my opinion is the battery consumption of Zeus very high, especially when the screen is on!

Best ROM + Kernel for battery life

Hey XDA,
My battery life is completely terrible, I get around 2 hours with screen on and down to around 50% after 5 hours on deepsleep standby.
I'm using the Opticthrust ROM and Kowalski kernel. What's the best combination for battery life? Prefeberly JB but ICS is fine.
Thanks,
ZePotatox

How old is your battery?
Are you using the newest Optithrust? I'm pretty sure it gives decent battery life to other users.
Try recalibrating your batter and charge it to full. - Turn it off, remove battery, put battery back, plug in charger, wait for a battery charging animation to appear, turn your phone on. Check if this make any changes.
As for ROM im using, Im using the one from Civato CivZ_FLEX-ICER rev4.5 and his latest kernel. I can get to 2 days easy.
Moderate use - texts and few calls, no games, wifi sometimes, only on 2g network.

Rom: cm10 by pengus77 newbl
kernel: kowalski exp-112
@1300Mhz
Governer: ondemand
io:row
Screen time:3h
Mostly used for gaming n web browsing on mobile data...no wifi

AW: Best ROM + Kernel for battery life
when i am using my phone rarely, i get 2 days out of one charge. cm10.1 + latest kowalski kernel.
tip for battery saving, disable location services!

With rom optithrust I've always had a weird problem with the battery. the evening off the phone and in the morning I found myself with 30-40% less battery. Maybe you have the same problem when my deep sleep.
Try the advice of puffingman or change rom. I am with Pacman 4.2.2 and the battery does not give me problems. Statistics for my battery has almost two years.

you can take all the inputs...but it is good to ask the Moderator to close this thread....as Best ROM threads are not permitted in XDA forum.
Thanks for the understanding
Note: if you are interested, I use dual boot....with OptiThrust and DM...both stock based ROMs....I get atleast one day and a half in both of these ROMs when activated.

There is no such thing as best ROM and kernel. Go to development section and choose your combo.
Thread closed.

Finally, this is what the Nexus 4 should be doing.

This is how it should of been without custom anything. Seriously.

In case anyone wants to know. AOKP m1. Franco's kernel. Undervolted by 25 mV. No underclock. Any tips to push it further?
(Note, this also included about 15 to 20 minutes of Miracast.

you should be able to under-volt by more then 25.
give 100 a try

i get that and more daily just clocked 1 day 22 hours ... then phone died from lack of juice

Is that safe for the circuits?

This is the battery life I achieve on my N4 with PAC rom and franco, and im pretty satisfied with 4h screen on time and decent standby drain

UV 150mv on stock clocks, auto brighness indoors (so screen on low setting), wifi.. I get 6-7 hours over a day and half by mostly browsing and light gaming (escape room games etc)
edit.. i do put my phone in airplane mode when i sleep

I get around 16-18 hours standby and 5 hours sot on average. Stock kernel, under volted by 112.5 MV, 15% brightness and using the battery guru app with location turned on
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

Undervolting is something I'm weary of. I've read about the whole speeding up, slowing down, and how it can negatively effect the circuits. :[

I need to say that I got almost the same results on stock rom only 1 hour difference but it was on 3% not 1% so i guess if i waited i would get to 14 hours
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Without underclocking or anything I got over 6 hours screen on time with around 22/23 hours on battery
