It only happens when I'm actually using it (not idle) and when it's not on charger/usb cable.. I'm assuming it has something to do with it's battery usage/power consumption or something. When I turn it on again, the battery % is awful lower ..
question: is there any way to see what has happened? crash dump? log file? it is rooted jellybean, cocore 5.8.. "pure vanilla 5" rom.. NO overclock, NO overpower on charge.. just some volume tweaks..
thanks in advance

I'm on the Fasty 2.3 rom and I just cant seem to go more then 12 hours on battery life even on light useage. The only thing I keep on is my 3g service, which is all the time. I've also tried using battery calibrationaters (lol) and none of them seem to calibrate my captivate.. I think. What's a good app to monitor my battery and also an app to help me calibrate my battery in case I'm doing it wrong somehow?
I calibrate by charging to 100% and then rebooting my phone but my phone seems to drain at the same speed no matter what I do. I installed Fasty from stock also.

That did it! I charged my phone up to 100% then i calibrated it. Shut off my phone, took that battery out, grabbed a plate of food and decided to watch Despicable Me, finished my meal and then put the battery back and now my phone is at 67% after 18 hours!
Great, Thats amazing 67 after 18 good going mate.
How's u guys battery life on CM 7.2? On my Ace, it seems that the battery is discharging much faster than the stock rom.
What would you suggest? I read something about battery life kernels, but not sure what to do.
Thanks,
It seems it may be a false battery charge indication. I saw a couple other threads about this. i tried a calibration app, but it didnt work. I even charged to 100% and reset in clockwork. As soon as i unplug, it went down to 92%, then 10 min later, 80%. This is just on standby!
Any ideas?
Battery calibration is a myth! The battery_stats.bin file only has info for the battery use screen.
Not sure about it now, but cm7.2 used to have battery drain problems.
What rom are you you using?

Battery calibration is not a myth, the myth is saying that helps you battery life, what it really does is give you a more accurate reading of the battery charge. Your battery will have the same life.
Your battery life on any CM will drain faster than on a stock rom, maybe a bit better, but not much of a difference.
You need to charge your phone to 100 %, check in settings, about phone, state (i have my rom in spanish, so i don't know if it will say "state" it's just a guess) and the first option you will see says "Battery State" and it should say "Charged" or something that tells you that it's done charging.
I mean, when u charge your phone, although u can see that your battery is full, you should wait until in the lockscreen says "charged" instead of "charging" or something like that.
Hope it helps!
I am in the process of calibrating right now. I charged to 100% and now im draining completelto 0%. Then recharging back to 100% with no breaks. I got these instructions from another thread. Ive got every radio on (gps wifi bluetooth) and the torch. Been that way for over 2 hours and it says 16% right now. Ill let u all know what happens. Thanks again!
Oh im on the last cooper version that says stable. I had trouble with thr touchscreen not working right on nightly for some reason. Any known issues with this one?
Cyanogenmod have battery problems, especially if you are using an unofficial version. If this is your case, you can try use firekernel, otherwise use the official one, some say it have the best battery life.

Be careful, force the phone to discharge fast can decrease the battery life. I think the best to do is use it normally during the day till the battery finish and look if is there some application using lots of cpu or if the deep sleep is working right.
Watch for the torch app, the app itself says that u should keep it on 20 min maximum i think.
I didnt tried nightly, sorry!
I did try stable and everything worked perfect i think so it should be fine

i hear ya. i dont think i burned out the flash led. i left the phone on all night (not the torch) and it finally died. Stayed on 8% for at least an hour! so now i have to charge it back to 100% with no breaks.

how long is it that you have your phone?? battery could be damage maybe? :S
if u want to stick with cm, you can flash Apocalypse rom, based on cm 7.2, it has very good battery life. Using a based stock rom u could try the sg s2 version 9 (based on stock rom) with very good battery life too and very fast

Been having it a couple years. I have two phones and two batteries. And it doesnt act this way with the stock ace rom. Wierd. I am curious about the apacolypse rom. Will check that out. I will need to backup my current setup first tho.
Should i just backup with clockwork or use titanium? I have alot of time invested in cm 7.2 stable. I hate to lose it.
Also can i just copy the backup folder to my pc without damaging it?
Thanks for the help!

CyanogenMod basically means = fast (besides nice looking haha) and it also has different options to save battery (i don't remember an example of one of them), but being fast costs you battery life. For example, Apocalypse Final version with blackhawk kernel with antutu benchmark gave me a 2200 score (without oc), with firekernel (the one that brings the rom) it gave me a a number much lower (i think it was 1900). But using sgs2 v9, the one im using right now, it gives me a 1900 score and i can say it is fast enough and battery lasts longer that using any cm version.
i know bechmarks are not exactly, it's just to explain my point of view.
With cm u can have good battery life too but in a stock based rom battery will always (or 80 % of the cases) be better.

Yes, it's usually what most people do, leave the original copy of the nandroid backup on your sd and make a copy of it and save it in your pc. Then if everything went well after flashing the rom you can just erase the copy of your pc
i just did a backup with both. the CW backup is much larger. Is this because it backed up the whole rom? Like a clone of the phone?

Awesome. so now i can play around and just fully restore my phone if i %&*@ up.
So I tried installing some scripts on my phone, and managed to brick my phone so I flashed it back to default kernel and again installed gingerdx on my phone ... I charged it whole night ... when I woke up ...battery 100% ... I restarted my phone .... battery 40% ... DAFUQ ?! ... in proccess of restarting I cleared my battery stats ... now I am trying to use all the battery till 0% ... then recharge it to 100% and clear it again ...
But this never happened to me ... actually with gingerdx I had pretty great battery life ...
U got any idea what is going on?
I think u must do a wipe battery stats. If it aren't helped, post here.

well I would just like .. you know, to have normal battery ... charge- 100% ... and by using the phone it will go: 100%-99%-98%-97% etc...
But right now it's like ... charging-100%, restart- 80% - 2 mins use - 65% ... It's kinda annoying ...
It's pretty ok right now guys .. I let it charge yesterday for maybe 5 hours, by one reboot it went to 98%..... but it's ok ... right now ... after about 12 hours of not charging and 30 min use, 2 min talk, battery is at 89% ...
Hi, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.

I have a 2 month old original battery in my note. I noticed screen flickering a week ago which is a sure sign the battery is past its prime.
Still, some questions:
Have you dropped this phone?
Are you still running stock android? root?
Did you overclock / undervolt anything?
How often is this happening?
Is the phone hot when this happens?
Ofcourse,I've dropped it many times.I think problem also because of that droppings only.Running on stock firmware.No overclock.Can't say how often....The phone won't be hot but may be sometimes I feel slight hotter.

There is no guarantee that a custom rom can help, but it is much easier than dealing with hardware issue. Definitely should try a custom rom 4.12 to see if it helps.

Personally, my next step would be opening it up, remove all the dust(if any) and check all connections.
If that does not help, you have a problem.
If all fails, consider maybe overvolting and/or underclocking.?
