Does anyone know of any roms for the HTC vivid that will extend my battery to 15+ hours? I have yet to find one. Please also post good kernels that will help save my battery. My battery on the HTC vivid sucks. I can't even get through the school day without my phone draining to 10 %. My vivid is completely stock with ics update. I would like an ics Rom, the only thing I do is listen to music with the screen off and the phone in my pocket. I can't imagine why my battery dies so much. Please help! I only listen to music for about 40 mins in the morning!
I would be willing to bet that your problem is programs you have installed...
Either that or excessive screen on time...
Both of those problems aren't solved by ROMs

Hello all!
I am new to the forum so I hope make it without any errors.
I bought the Optimus 2x cellphone last week whith the hope of getting the good one (the one without freezes and black screens) fortunately the cell worked very nicely. I updated to gingerbread and I feel it very good. But I have the good known problem of battery consumption.
Now I have a battery related question. After the update I charged the phone and get the battery indicator stuck at 100% I rooted the phone, installed Battery Calibration and calibrated the phone (left the battery to reach 0% then fully charged to 100% hit calibrate and left the telephone fully discharge again)
The issue is that when the thelephone was at 100% the voltage indicator of the battery calibration was in 4100 mV and here comes the weird thing. When reached 0% the voltage indicator was saying 2000mV.
My question is if this values are right. Someone with good battery duration and the Battery calibration installed could tell me the correct values? I thought that the phone shut down when battery was down to 0 mV but maybe the problem is that my battery is just using "half" battery.
Sorry for my english. I am not native english speaker.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
That is voltage, 3300mv = 3.3 volts.
Fully charged the battery would be at 4180mv, fully discharged is around 3200mv usually, or a bit higher.
The phone shuts off when the battery gets below the usable range, which I believe is slightly above 3000mv.
So yes a range of 3.3 to 4.2 volts is perfectly normal for a 3.7v battery.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. So I think I should get used to it. My battery doesnt last more than 12 hours of my regular use. A some internet browsing and some messaging. No music, videos, or games.
Someone recommends the extended batteries of 3500 mAh for this phone? That will make the phone last more time?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Reaper511989, I have bought an extended battery from HERE. It is fatter, but not ugly. And the battery lasts a lot longer. I use it when I'm travelling. I have no idea where in the world you are, but the battery was from a company in the UK.
Have fun. Anil
Huge Battery drain on DjangoManouche/Guestekrnl
Hi,
I was on CM7 kang of temasek and I decided to flash a stockbased rom.
Now I'm on :
DjangoManouche 1.2 rom
Guestekrnl V1.6.1
BB V20Q with ril
I am using Go launcher which comes with the rom
The battery drain is incredibly huge, 8 hours tops with very little use
Anybody some ideas ?
your lucky. i get 6. if im playing 3 albums of mp3's during work. nothing on. just 2g.
imagine if i turned on gps,wireless,bt 3g/4g ahhhh . (cant use fone how its sposed to be used) have ot turn it DOWN a notch. its to HUNGRY on juice. seriously lookin @ one of those MUGEN batteries.
6 hours is just wrong... in the most intense usage you should get 2 hours of screen ON time.. Wifi with 2g on trolling forums with browser/tapatalk should be 4 hrs.

6hours listening to music is pretty normal. If you want longer battery live, stop using the device.

Well in that case you might wanna repair your device since you seem to have the same issue with all roms. That should not be the case that it uses the same amount of battery without using it, especially if no app is loading the cpu....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA
well actually. cm7 i got about 5-6 hours batt life, cm9 i got no more than 8, GB (stock rom) can usually go from 5-8 hours. but with no bugs. so i am back on GB.
so i dont think device is broken/dodgy since the batt life fluctuates a little. depending on the rom.
my main issue is, ive been reading about ppl using froyo and going to GB and having mass battery drain. now im thinking about going to froyo.

Could you please share your findings? Since I'm having the same problem and started thinking about returning to stock as well.
I have contatced some Developers too but just wanted more opinions..
Here`s the problem.
Once my phone hits 50% and if i try using it after that,The screen starts to flicker..
Strange waves start appearing on the screen {Top to Bottom}
If i continue using... the waves increases and after few seconds the phone Switches Off
After around 10Minutes If i try to switch it back on...It switches on with 1% Battery...
If i put to charge it satrts from 1% if i restart once while charging it starts from 50%
So what is happening here and what is wrong with my phone..
I went back to Rooted KL3 Ginger Bread (I did not have this problem in Ginger Bread)
I flashed a safe ICS (Alliance)
It started again...
Flashed Alliance JB and it still remains,I have tried Rocket,Chrack,Crash and all Roms out there..
I did some research and got to know that sammy`s ics update had this problem,
I am open for all kinds of suggestions here :fingers-crossed::crying::angel:
Maybe your battery is dying..Try using a different one..

Battery Fault
This is a battery fault.
I had this and it went away when I changed my battery.
The only solution is to change the battery.
i had exactly the same problem!
your battery is dead. you should replace it immediately
i bought two of those:
http://www.amazon.com/2700mAh-Batte...F8&qid=1352243234&sr=8-3&keywords=n7000+anker
since i replaced the the battery everything works fine.
and those anker batterys are awesome
Thanks guys and YES, I checked the battery and the shape seems to be odd...
I guess it's time to change the battery...
Thanks a lot for the responses guys..
Had the same issue 2 weeks ago. Took the battery out and tried to spin it on a flat surface. It spinned with ease and had bulged. Bought a new one from Samsung and now have no issues and battery life is great

this is an ongoing issue. seems like the battery is dead after a year with signs of bloating. this never happened to my HD2 or Xperia X10. whats going on?
Its not uncommon for batteries to drastically lose their effectiveness after a year or so -- which is why I hate phones that don't have user-replaceble batteries.

As requested by OP. Have this problem? Looks like you need a new battery.
Hey everyone,
So this is my 2nd Android device. I had the Inspire and this summer I picked up the Vivid. I think the phone is fantastic, however the battery life has been nothing short of horrendous.
For whatever reason, my phone can only last 90 minutes on a full charge. The backing gets warm quickly and the battery percentage decreases very rapidly. The battery life continues to decrease even when the phone is locked.
I have tried basically every ROM out there, from Holics to Cyanogenmod. Some are a bit better than others, but none can make it over 2 hours for me.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
***
On a side note, I love the work that has been done on the development side of this phone. I never thought I would see the day when I would be running CM.
Thank you all in advance. This truly is a great community.

Uhhh...
Factory reset?

if you still have the problem... get better battery stats... figure out your wake lock...
Or... get cpuspy and figure out what's got your processor hung up

Anyone know how strong of a charger this phone will accept and use efficiently and safely without causing a problem? I haven't seen this asked but the battery life is terrible on this phone. Honestly the battery is just not enough mah to be efficient on the phone. I wonder what kind of battery life people are getting who actually have lte?

Doesn't matter if it's 'too strong' as it will only pull the current it needs. Too small is what you need to worry about.

You must be doing something wrong then or setup something that is eating away at it. I have had my one off the charger now for almost 11 hours and I'm at 92%. Obviously I haven't used my phone hardly at all today thus far, but even with moderate usage I have been very pleased. I have been losing 1% about every 45 min today. That's solid

Hi everyone.
When I bought this phone, the battery would last all day, sometimes even going for 2 days with a single charge. Using the stock rom, I can only get around 14 hours with very light usage now. Using a custom rom gives me even less. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to beef up the battery life?

It would really help to know what rom you're using, not all of them (personally) have I got great battery life..
Not sure if you're a aosp guy, or like sense.. but if you're using a sense rom, WCX roms have got me the best battery life I've seen on the vivid.. and the vivid isn't too great with battery at all.

Then you have wakelocks.... Use Better Battery Stats to find the offending program... The either delete it... Or greenify it... Or use one of the receiver kill programs (autostarts/system tuner) to kill it

You must be a lucky one, since my HTC Vivid has horrendous battery life, as did my old Samsung Galaxy S1. I've heard the garbage from AT&T, HTC and Samsung where it's just everyone's imagination, the batteries have great life and Never overheat. I have my Vivid for a year and a half and have gone thru 5 batteries, each one lasting less than 5 ones. The Galaxy had the body replaced 3 times and had the same battery issues.
Yes, they are both 4+ inches in screen size and they will not get smaller for smartphones/mini-computers. I don't know which rom it's running, but the kernel is 3.0.16-gf59f9ce 7-25-2012, Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 3.6. Can someone please give an answer that has some possible real-time solutions? Thanks!

It all depends how my vivid is liking me that day or not, I have days where I ran through 5 battery in a single day..
and Sometimes it gets hot on me, are you on stock rom? did you unlock your bootloader? I recommend a WCX rom if you're using 4.0.3 and like sense.. google wcx illuminati you'll find it.. (WildChild asks not to direct link to his site) and follow his instructions.
If you need more help, PM me, and we can set up a gtalk or something and help you get settled.
Battery
The battery on my vivid is the same, i use juice defender but still if i start to use my data plan it will die within an hour and a half, it also heats up if i start to use several apps at a time. I have already replaced the battey once.
