Hi, I recently installed MIUI 3 and seem to be getting some problems with battery life.
What I've done so far:-
-Installed MIUI 3 with the SpeedMod kernal (as directed in the manual). Battery life dropped to 12hrs
-Reset battery stats, no change
-Installed MIUI 3.3. Battery went back up to ~30hrs
I thought 3.3 fixed it but after a day the battery life dropped by half. After another day it dropped by half again. Now it's only lasting 6hrs, and when on charge it doesn't reach 100% charged but stays at 98% even overnight.
What is going on with this thing?
Half of MIUI threads is about battery drain. There is no solution until now.

They're all like 1 year old. The battery was supposedly fixed in the latest release, and I know someone with the same phone, using MIUI, and they don't have this problem.
I think it might be something to do with the speedmod kernel. I don't know anything about the compatibility of kernels and MIUI so i just followed the instructions in the manual and used speedmod
I don't really know what's going on... in my phone the battery lasts for around 60 hours, maybe more, whatever rom/kernel I've used...
I've been using all of galnet's muiu and still have to find a battery issue. In my particular case, I don't use GPS, so it's off all the time. I don't think that's the issue though...
It's a known issue of CM7/MIUI.
no solution at the moment
Sorry but what is CM7?
And if there's no solution, how can someone with the same model phone not have the same issue?...
MIUI has battery problem and its not solved. If you disable data, gps, sync...
it saves some.
I will look into that and try to help!

The 5th thread you have posted this reply to in the last 2 hours?! Why?!

So everyone using MIUI puts up with a battery only lasting 6 hours and my friend is lying to me? >_>
btw disabling data doesn't make that much difference.

I think that this is as much a cm7 thing, as anything else, and most people just tweak and seek til they find a combination of things that work, so worth looking in rhe relevant threads and reading back

Well for anyone interested I found the problem. I tried flashing with the latest SpeedMod kernel, phone wouldn't boot, and I had to reflash the entire bootloader with MIUI's modified Froyo
Now the problem I noticed when I went to install MIUI.. the zip on my phone was 2.2 instead of 3.2.
NFI how I ended up with that outdated version! So the latest 3.3 seems to have fixed it now. Phone has been on for almost 20 hours and only dropped 30% in battery. That's more like it.
Although this did happen the first time, it seemed OK and then kept dropping by half capacity each day.. But if I really was somehow using 2.2 then hopefully that's all it was
I found out yesterday that my phone doesnt really go idle because of some google process waking my phone notoriously, and probably thats why it uses more battery. I also have very week signal (only 3g) which makes my phone use more battery than normal, but on non cm7 roms i made it one day with no problem. Right now I'm on galnet's miui and this is really fantastic rom, but battery wont last one day in my case. So the idle problem is the case i think... yesterday I closed gapps process before i went to sleep, and my phone was sleeping nicely too This process is caused by android market, and miui doesnt close it up. I also freezed gmaps - someone in galnets thread said it also drains battery. Well I'll see in few days how the battery will behave.

Also Battery Calibration.apk (can be found in market) works to calibrate your battery properly.
56hrs without recharging, 22% battery still remaining. So clearly it's not a problem with CM or MIUI any more
I have exactly the same problem.. tried the battery callibration app..also tried the wipe battery stats article.. i ve finished recharging 100% 2hours ago... now my phone is 55%..no gps no games.. 2 phone calls for 2min each.. i love the rom and hate the battery
sgs i9000..miui v4 with its kernel

HOW??????????????????
Hello everyone!
I've installed few days ago the onecosmic's ROM RC3.1, beatiful, perfect, smooth bla bla.
The problem is: i'm seeing so many post of people saying that with full charge, phone can stay alive for an average of 1 day- 1 day and an half (24-36h) with a normal use.
My phone can last 13-14h staying most of the time in standby and it's the 5th cycle so should be "stabilized" now. 1st cycle was awful, 8h (didn't expect anything else), then things got better but i've reached this cap of 14h.
I've tried Fugu kernel at first but i didn't get much improvement so i switched to paul kernel and changed modem too (jvk->jvt).
Still can't reach the dreamed 24-36h, i mean, i don't care about having 2 days of battery life, i would like to use the phone without having to charge it in the middle of the day.
btw nstools installed and set Deep Idle on, which seems to works just fine for me with the paul kernel.
(can't post outside link -.-)
nstools stats:
h*tp://i44.tinypic.com/6duvzb.png
does these stats means it's working?
i'll post also CPUspy stats:
h*tp://i43.tinypic.com/35052qf.png
is it everything ok here?
On standby there's no battery drain effect now, but when i'm using it, i get 1% down every 1-2 min.
What do you guys suggest? do i need to try other kernels/modems? shoud i try to flash again?
p.s. on 2.3.5 stock i used to have 24-36h but there's no way i'm going back to GB, i love ICS.
I used to have 24h of battery life, but I don't know what happened, after a week or so now my phone is draining 20% every hour, dead by noon...
Tried NStools with undervolt, and it didn't change anything.
It's now an useless piece of junk... this is retarded, either i will try reinstalling ICS or im going back to GB.

maybe your problem is caused by an app, or more than one, which are using push notification, you sould try uninstalling some...
Tried undervolt too, i got maybe an hour more.
Update: i just flashed again with RC3,1 and paul kernel. Situation seems a little better, gonna update again after few battery cycles.
What thing is in the battery status menu?
If it is media server: settings-->apps-->all--> Mediastorage-->force stop(dont wipe data)

sure! with the new paul kernel the battery life is better! amd now i'm trying the last glitch...my phone seems to work better...!i will hope to have also a good battery life without hard drain (with didle support maybe it's possible!)
actually, there was a lot of "Android OS" usage, maybe something went wrong from the beginning, the phone wasn't going to deep sleep state when put on stan-by and use more cpu than necessary when active, that must have been the main issue.
As i said, installed RC3.1 again this morning now everything is gooood
Lots of facebook, whatsapp, camera and 1 call, still have 67%. When put on standby battery almost doens't drop at all (checked on battery graph).
I think it's solved
I've the same problem. my battery life sucks...
Now my question. Where can I find/download the paul kernel? I#ll re-flash it too .
And my second question, do the "devil - der teufel" kernel do a great job too?

dunno about devil kernel, i read that for someone is even better than paul and it solves also "green screen" issue that appear when you lock the phone. I'm happy with this config so i won't touch it until RC4
I confirm that ,now, when my phone is in stand-by, battery usage is almost 0.
btw paul's kernel can be found here:
h*tps://w*w.dropbox.com/s/ts8j2o7wuklq9zg
(sorry about the "*" in the url but it won't let me post link 'til i get 10 post -.-)
is also in the first post of the Team ICSSGS rom btw
I have flashed RC3.1 yesterday, it lasted for 8 hours. I was using it heavily to check all the features, syncing the contacts etc. I have drained the battery fully now. Will charge it upto 100% and see how long it last now with normal usage.

thank u
i'll try it today and pray for a better battery life...
when RC4 is out than i think i will try the devil kernel... but until that i think "paul" will make it ^^
Battery Drain
hello everyone - I have been searching a lot abou this i9000 battery drain on ICS. I am using ICS and Devil karnel and battery lasts for around 11-12hrs. My usage is pretty normal. I dont use phone for most of the time but still it reaches to 12hrs mark. If I check battery stats then Android OS and Display (brightness is very low) are consuming most of the battery.
Please let me know if there are any ROM Tweeks or any other way to increase battery time. Or I will have to go back to GB because I hate charing battery two times a day.
Thank you.
Hello folks,
I got a SGS with carbon custom rom. It is running Android 4.2.2 . My battery life is pretty bad, i lose like 30% over night. I already reduced screen brightness but mobile standby still eats a lot of battery.
Would a new kernel solve my issue? Can someone recommend one, please?
Thank you.

It's not kernel. Install gsam Battery Monitor and check which apps are draining your battery. And check your wakelocks .
Try to greenify apps like viber, facebook etc
As you are also using 4.2.2 it has battery drain fast bug.

4.2.2 based ROMs have in general very high battery consumption. On the i9000 4.2.2 gives the very shortest battery life.
CM10.2 works much better, provides around 50% longer battery life and is faster
Thanks for your answers. I checked battery usage and wakelocks but there are no abnormalities. The highest amount of wake lock is caused by exchange but it doesn't seem to be the culprit of my battery problem. The device is awake only 9% of the time.
I found that mobile data causes the drain. When turning it on and tethering the connection I lose half my battery within 20 minutes. The battery usage is about the same when only using mobile data, without the tether.
I have installed semaphore, it gives me excellent standby times when not using mobile data...(2% over night)
2 questions: would flashing a new modem/radio solve my problem?
Is 4.3 suitable for daily usage? My current ROM is very stable and I wouldn't want to upgrade to 4.3 if it doesn't work well.
Also, I need tethering, does that work on cm10.2?
Thank you
UPDATE: I flashed Android 4.3, semaphore kernel and a new modem. I will observe the battery consumption over the next few days.
Hello guys,last days i got problems with my htc one,battery drains very fast and often it switch off when its 50% battery..and when i charge my phone it takes like forever to go to 100%..i thought its battery issue so i ordered a new battery,installed it and still got the same problem..is there any way to fix it? Or had the same problem?thank you
I have changed Rom and got the same issues, the solution with battery monitor haven't tried yet but when I made factory reset it isn't supposed to be clean from all the apps that drains battery?
try to install battery pro app to find the process which draining battery a lot. also useful feature- cleaning battery stats through recovery
i changed charger and now it charges fast..but still dies very fast
Help

first of all you need to find the processes which drains the battery a lot. install battery monitor app from google play and use it couple days to collect info regarding processes. also you can try to flash custom kernel

you recommend me some kernel ?, to help me improve the battery life, but without losing much potential in terms of my device, I am currently in the rom resurection remix (nougat 7.1.2 compilation 26/8/2017) ??? ?
Hi, I've noticed that the battery on my Redmi 9t draining faster on custom roms comparing to the stock miui rom
And I've tried many custom roms like Dot os, pixel experienc.......etc , but they all drain battery morz then the stock rom, and i've tried many custom kernels but it still drain battery, so please Has anyone noticed this problem or have been able to fix it ?
Download AccuBattery and check which app is draining the battery. And also check the battery's health.
Some apk's draining the Battery fast, example the Facebook application.
That's the price of using custom roms. Unless the device is quite popular and has a huge fan base working on stuff, you will never get a custom rom better than the original.
i'm using havoc os without GAPPS and no battery problem, such as said, it depend on wich apps you have installed after the ROM
