Biffmod battery issues

Currently running biffmod, and like it as far as speed and stability.
But... My battery will show 75%-Full and my phone just dies unless plugged in.
Not sure if this is a common issue. I already have a new battery on the way I ordered from one of the recommendations in another forum thread here.
Just curious if there is something I can do in the meantime.

In the top of this section there is a thread similar to this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836987
BTW, try to recalibrate battery.
I have battery problems too (I have a new battery ) , I'm trying to solve.
I think we can continue to the other thread. So we can talk about general battery drain on froyo roms.

Thanks for the quick reply and link to the other thread, I've actually been reading frequently and everyone else experiencing the same exact problem fixed it with a new battery.
The phone was purchased used so of course this is logical, and probably the case.
I have a new battery on the way.. So I'm sure I will get sorted once that shows up.
In the meantime going to re-calibrate it, thanks again, and will let the thread die now.

[Q] Getting an IS tomorrow or on monday...

But, where should I start?
Is it really necessery to flash a custom ROM, or is this phone snappy enough with Sense (but I'll probably use GoLauncher or LauncherPro, I only use 1 homescreen...)?
Which tweaks are really necessery to make the phone's battery survive for more than 24 hours, when texting pretty much?
Perhaps the phone's battery survives even though I text a lot (between 100-500 texts/day, depending on how bored I am)?
How's the vibrator in this phone, can I have it in silent mode and have it in my pocket and actually notice when I get a text?
My current phone's vibrator is pretty crappy.
I've been browsing this forum for some time now but haven't found anything that answers my questions... I come from an Acer Liquid A1, without CM7 or MIUI that phone is probably one of the worst phones ever done. But, I sure hope this community is just as active as the one the Liquid had, and still have
(lol, "is this a question?" eh, it's many questions... )
oh, and one more thing; is this device brickable? or can you always reset it to default, like with the liquid? if something f...s up you can always boot into bootloader and reflash a *.bin
Help a newbie to get started, and flashing things and stuff is nothing new. Only the way to root it is new for me... :/
Regards,
Me
(hopefully I haven't missed a thread that answers all my questions, but of what I've found I haven't found anything that actually helps me. if I've missed it, just link to it and remove this thread )

I don't think you need a custom ROM. See if the battery is good enough for your needs. Remember to drain the battery completely multiple times to "train" it.
On another note, why get such an expensive phone, just for texting? It's going to drain a lot of battery while you are looking at the screen. Might as well go for a feature phone imo.

You should easily get 24 + hours if all you do is text mainly. Just remember to turn data off. It will help make your battery last longer.

Well, my current phone dies pretty quickly when texting a lot. Today it went from 60% down to 5%, and I woke for 11hours ago and have been texting ppl since then.
And I'm buying a new phone since my 4 touch-buttons on this one is getting really weird, they only work sometimes and yesterday they all died so I was stuck in a conversation and had to reboot to get out of it.
And sending texts and stuff is what I mainly do, of course I browse the Internet, play games and everything. During school and such I only text people, and a lot. So I pretty much needs the phone to make more than 24hours without charging it, even though I text a lot and listen to music.
@NardVa;
Won't be a problem. Already thought of that
Thanks for the replies

I was going to suggest flashing, the stock rom is garbage for battery life. Android Revolution HD seems to be one of the more popular choices, but of course Cyanogen Mod is there if you decide the Sense UI isn't your thing

I've made up my mind now, I'll use the official GB ROM for a couple of days/weeks/months (basically untill I'm tired of Sense 2.1) and then flash a Sense 3.0 ROM and hopefully I can understand which one of all those RUU's that's made for Europe too when I'm bored of Sense 2.1
You don't happen to know how it is with bricking this phone? Can you always reset it to stock, or can you actually brick it for real so it's 100% unusable?

Performance questions, concerns

Hello all,
I own an AT&T HTC M7, originally with CID CWS__001. I have SuperCID'd the phone, tried various international edition ROM's, but all seem to eat my battery up like a little kid finding a bag of M&M's. The battery life always seems OK for the first few days, then all of a sudden it begins dwindling at a rate where I can literally watch 1% dropping every maybe 15 seconds while using the phone for extremely basic stuff. Restarts don't seem to fix the issue, and these are mostly Sense 6 ROM's. There are a few older ROM's that also seem to cause me problems, and it can be a hassle to have to consistently keep my apps off of RAM and force close them. So, due to this ongoing issue, I decided to revert back to a stock RUU with my phone, rooted it, and now have no battery issues. However, I hate being stock!
So, since the AT&T section is truly lacking in regards to decent non-stock ROM's, I'd like to get some personal opinions as far as Sense 6 based ROM's that provide good performance and battery life, including firmware/radio combinations. I live in Florida if that would help anyone with this. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I haven't experienced this dude. I get slightly better battery life...

Questions about LG L90

I purchased the LG L90 last week, and am now using it as a daily driver (WOOT WOOT). I have retired my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G).
I currently have questions about this phone, I love it overall, but some things are kind of bugging me out a bit:
1. Signal & Service: I understand this device is not LTE capable, but my internet speeds are slower than my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (which is a really old phone, in a tehcinical perspective), my speeds on "4G" max out to around ~10-11 Mbps where my old phone usually hit ~15-25 Mbps. Furthermore, my Wi-Fi speeds are slower, for example, when I am at work, my iPod can easily pick up ~42 Mbps, but on the LG L90, it barely its ~15 Mbps. Is this just an issue with the phone? I really want to resolve these issues, as the speed does make a difference for me.
2. GPS: I no longer have a physical GPS, as I figured our phones can do the job now, and my old phone did a great job at it. I don't want to say the L90 is bad, but there is some noticable lag, and at times, the GPS is unable to detect where I am physically located. I live in Seattle, so I figured beign a major metro-city, this should not be an issue, any solutions to resolving this?
3. Current ROM: I am running everything at stock, as I don't want to root just yet (warrenty purposes). That being said, if I were to go on a app and hit the home screen, there are those moments where I can see the lag processing all my apps and widgets, as I only see my wallpaper for a few seconds. There is also a crap load of T-Mobile software that I feel like are draining my battery, any possible way to delete that as well?
4. Battyery Life: Obviously, this phone is a better battery life than other phones, but are their best tips/advice on preventing battery drainage? I am a college student, so I am always on the go, and really woud love something that is stable, to also last me the entire day. Any advice on charge cycles and what not? I usually just charge my phone when I am about to go to bed (around 11 or 12 PM) and unplug it after I wake up in the morning.
Those are all my questions/issues... I really love this phone, and bought a nice case and screen protector and it just looks beyond awesome (better than the iPhone 6 ) I would appreciate any help/support you guys have to resolve these issues for me!

It's good idea to install another ROM like CM11 - it makes a big difference compared to stock one, also could mostly solve your issues, but can't provide any proof on that since I don't use these features at all. I know your warranty is void in exact moment of rooting, but it's not a problem to install stock rom again, and at service most of time these guys are too lazy to check logs

If installing a ROM is seriously the only option, what is the MOST stable ROM out there? I honestly don't want to go back and forth trying different ROMs, as at this point, I really do not have the time to do that... I guess any ROM that is stable, fast, and of course light (so my battery's potential is kept to the max!)

1. Signal & Service: You're comparing a true LTE device to a HSDPA+ device. Not the same. HSDPA+ is not true 4G.
2. GPS: GPS is flaky with this device. On stock or a custom ROM such as CM11
3. Current ROM: The only way to remove TMobile's bloatware is to root the device
4. Battyery Life: No special charging cycles. I charge mine basically the same way you do. Battery life is drastically improved running CM11 instead of stock however.
As for installing a custom ROM. Currently the most stable for the D415 is my ROM which a link can be found in my signature. Myself and many others are using it as a daily driver... but there are some issues that I'm currently in the middle of working out.

I was comparing it to my old phone, which does not have LTE, instead it also has HSDPA+.
I'd love to use your ROM, but I also am looking for something that his minimal issues... perfect for a Daily Driver, and never looking back. I really am not into reinstalling ROMs every few days, like some people do, I'd just like to stick onto one thing and go from there.

I've been working feverishly to fix the issues my ROM has. I've worked out most of the issues but while doing so I managed to introduce a new one. Lol. Go figure. Keep an eye on my thread. Ill hopefully be uploading an update with most issues fixed within the next few days.

Woah, what ROM is that you are using? Battery Life on stock is not bad (At least compaed to my previous phone ) but I was trying to go towards the direction of, what are some good tips/advice to saving battery life and what not.
Question: Are you always on 4G? That is completly insane that you manage to pull off that much battery life!

Ah okay. I will keep my eye out for now, once your ROM is close to 100% (there is no such thing as "perfect" haha) do let me know... I respect all the developers who volunteer their time to create these tools available for us, but I also value my time a whole lot!

I'm on the stock D415 with my personal debloating. I don't use greenify or anything, all I have is xposed and gravity box on. Got rid of all the T-mobile crap and the lookout anti virus And yes for the most part I'm in 4g all the time.
Edit: Almost forgot, always have bluetooth, wifi and high battery location services

Do you mind sharing how you did all that? I currently avoid turning on things like Bluetooth while I drive because I am scared of draining the battery (even though I can always charge it) but I also want to keep the charge cycle consistent.
Another question, any good suggestions for Maps? Is Google Maps the best solution out there? I have tried Waze (personally dislike it) and currently am experimenting with Sygic maps, but want to see other options out there as well...

Bump? Seeking more advice on this!
Also, what is a preferable GPS app around here?

I had D415 last night and tested GPS a bit today with Copilot Live USA. The first test in the morning was terrible. The phone took half hour to get a fix, then was swinging between fix and lost every other minute during my commute to work for more than one hour. The second test was great on the way back to home:good:. GPS took <30s to get a fix, and hardly lost any connection, only a few seconds during the 90-minute trip.
SO what did make the difference? I believe the GPS chip in L90 is not great, but workable. It needs sometime to warm up before starting to work. The first test was running Copilot immediately after turning GPS chip on. There is no warm up time, resulting in disaster navigation. The GPS chip was then turned on the entire day, so the second test was almost perfect.
For D415, turn on GPS chip at least 30 minutes prior to using navigation. This way may keep you away from flaky problem.

Firmware-ROM recommendations?

Hi all you guys,
I'm really happy with my new blue HTC one m7. I just bought it from best buy locked for AT&T and I myself converted it to deved and sim-unlock it.... pretty cool all that...
Now I'm in a little trouble... battery life suck so much that I'm starting to think that I did something wrong... do you guys had some similar experience when converting an AT&T one?. Could it be that there are other better roms for battery life performance?
thanks for all your help guys,

I have a converted dev ed an not experiencing battery issue.
There is a battery stat thread in the general sub-forum, maybe you could compare your results and see if its normal or not. Its hard to tell if your battery life is affected by some app/kernel draining it or if its really a faulty one. Check what apps are draining the battery.
