Somewhere under the settings I forgot which exactly, maybe "My Accounts..." there should be an option NOT to back up. If the option is ticked (ON), then turn if off by unticking. :)

can't people just post part of their battery log file instead of whole lot like 24 hour file....make everyone easy to read it and solve ur problem..use common sense!
[Desire HD General] zachs_xda:
On this note, I'd say I've found the Yahoo Mail app to be a major battery drainer when it's using mobile data (strangely fine when it's running off wifi) by slowly isolating the problem as detailed in the OP.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
can you check if this behavior correlates with the signal strength & quality of your mobile network? i.e. 2G/3G/H/H+, 2 bars/3bars/4bars, constant/keep scanning for signal, below 90dBm or above 90dBm, etc.

This guide works Brilliantly !!!!!

I Had problems with my battery life, so I bought 2 chichitech 1900 mah battery's.

Since I followed this guide, I am now at 18 hours on battery and still have 55 % battery left. Before this guide my battery lasted 13 hours or so.

I still didn't installed any apps yet (except viber and configured my mailaccounts to sync every 5 minutes).

I will install new apps 1 by 1 when my battery is empty and fully recharged and keep the current widget to monitor.
[Desire HD General] Sanka31:
Hi !

First of all, thank you for you excellent guide ! And forgive my bad English, as it gets technical, it may be hard to understand what I say...

I haven't had time to follow the steps You mention, I'll do it ASAP... But I already have a few questions, because my battery's behavior seems curious :

I use Anker batteries (1900mAh), and I usually charge those with a wall charger, but this time, once the battery was 100% full on wall charger, I put it in my phone, and plugged it to see if it would continue charging till I get 0mA on current widget, and it doesn't : It keeps charging, mA displayed goes slowly down, but when it's about to reach 0mA, it seems to disconnect, and I get approx. -160mA for 20 minits, then it goes charging from 160mA to 7mA in an hour time... It doesn't stay fully charged, is that normal ?

And when I unplug, I'm always around -150/250mA, phone Idle... So the question is : may the fact it's an 1900mAh could explain this ?

I'll follow the steps you give to correct the battery drain, but it'll take time, I have approx. 150 apps on my phone ! And I have no time to do it correctly right now :/

Thanks for your help, and for reading this mess ;)

PS : Forgot to say, I have an HTC Sensation, overclocked up from 384 Mhz to 1.5 Ghz when screen ON, downclocked from 192 to 384 Mhz when screen OFF, ROM Android Revolution HD 3.0.3, no Dual-core patch, with recommended Radio, RCMIX 2.4 kernel with Daemon controller. I use ADW launcher instead of Sense, but I didn't use No-Sense script. I removed Sense account in Sync options.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Check out THIS post, maybe useful.

When you charge your phone from the wall charger, is the phone completely turned off and you wait until the led turns green? Then keep it charged from another, say, 1 hour? Then turn on the phone into recovery (vol down+power to enter fastboot, then choose recovery), then wipe the batt stats from Advanced menu in recovery.
[Desire HD General] Sanka31:
Thanks for the quick answer !

When I say "wall charger", I mean that :

[EDIT] Aww I not authorized to put outside links as a new poster (registered long time ago, but I avoid posting here, as writing in english is little hard for me^^)... Please go on amazon dot com, and type anker 1900, 2nd result is the type of charger I'm talking about ;) [/EDIT]

I have 3 batteries, and I let them charge until the one on my phone is out, so it really has time to charge, but I don't think that those wall charger can charge it as full as phone does... I haven't wiped the battery stats this time, but I often do, as I often flash new ROMs... It the first time I do the tests with current widget, I didn't think I had battery drain, but it seems I do... Thanks for Mugen's link, I'll check it later, have to go to work now :'(

PS -_- Must wait five minutes to edit, as new (old) user......

Thanks !
[Desire HD General] Sanka31:
Ok, just made some researches, and it seems my problem isn't really a problem : on HTC sensation and EVO 3D, the mAh display isn't correct, but it's still useful to know if you have anormal battery drain : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222212

So, as other people have approx same values than me, and as my phone seems to last long enough in battery life, I don't think I have an issue.

Sorry for the time waste, hope my post will answer to other Sensation users questions ;)

Thanks !
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Which version of the Current Widget that you're using? The latest one?

Secondly, sometimes it takes one hour or so to reach 0mA, to make things bit easier put your phone on airplane mode and test.

Third, most probably it's the extended battery's capacity (hardware) not reported correctly by the gauge (software). Not sure.

Just test with same usage profile, you should last longer, e.g. 13 hours becomes 15-16 hours. Don't expect dramatic results with extended capacity batteries u know. :)

Can anybody tell me why im getting such high usage... its really annoying thinking of selling my Desire HD off and just getting an iphone.

I've super wiped and flashed the rom again and it is still giving me the same spikes of -189ma. I've installed either current widget or battery monitor widget to alternate incase the monitoring app was causing the spike but with both im still getting 160-200ma spikes.

What could it be? Syncing is disabled also.. getting really angry.

I mean does it take time to idle or go to sleep because from

2011/09/04 00:28:13,-7mA,72%,3.894V

my phone and screen was idle... yet getting spikes... sigh.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
What ROM? What apps? 2G or 3G? Signal strength (2 bars? 3 bars?)? GPS on or off? Wifi?

Lose the battery monitor widget, it's actually draining your battery.

It could be one of your apps that's draining the battery.
[Desire HD General] Sanka31:
I use the version from the market, so I guess it's up to date... And yes, I keep it plugged even when the LED turns green, and I can see, via Currentwidget, that it keeps charging for a while after that. The weird thing is, once it reaches 0mA, I loose some mAh for a few minutes, as if it was unplugged, but the LED stays green. After few more minutes, it charges again (still seeing it via Currentwidget), untill 0mA, and then it discharges, and so on as long as it stays plugged... Even if I keep it plugged for hours after the LED turns green. Wouldn't the normal behavior be to stay at 0mA until I unplug it ?

And I didn't expect to have an "awesomely" long lasting battery (it lasts approx 1/4 longer), I just found this thread and saw idle should be between 7/10 mA, and as I was around 200, I thought I had a problem... But, as my battery lasts 24h in normal use, if I was around 10mA, it would last 20 days lol. But others people with HTC sensation have the same results, some of they say it's a bug because of the dual-core, and as long as I can compare my results with other people, and see we get the same, there's no problem on that side ;)

So I don't have anormal battery drain, I'm certain now. The only weird thing I have is the battery doesn't stay completely full when I keep it plugged, it keeps turning charge on and off once it reaches 0mA... (without turning off the green LED). Anyone experiencing the same thing ?

I'll lose the monitor widget, its a new Android Revolution HD 5.2.6 flash. GPS on, WIFI on, 3G is low in my area it sometimes switches to 2G I think, Signal strength 1-2 bars in my area. No apps beside battery history and currentwidget.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Try 2G only for a day and see, will you?
[Desire HD General] Jamibu:
Hmmmm. I can do calibration fine, and widget logs look acceptable.... However I suspect my battery is broken anyway... Using juice plotter to track the charging and discharging of my phone, i get this type of profile every time I charge. Smooth charging to approximately 70-80%, then a snap to 100%. So I suspect I'm only getting about 80% of the battery life I'm meant to. (see pic to make it clearer. I get that pattern on every charge, even after calibration)
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
What ROM? Don't count on Juice Defender too much, you know. ;)
[Desire HD General] Jamibu:
Not using juice defender, just the plotter. And I get the same profile regardless of rom.
[Desire HD General] djbenny1:
Hey my phone sits at around 20 mA all the time. Should it definitely be less than 10 mA all the time?? Because that would literally double my battery life in standby!

Im using an htc incredible S on android revolution hd.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] R3XNebular:
Think you've found the problem.

I believe I have found the cause of my battery drain, it is the very POOR 3G network in my area. I get 0-2 bars of 3G and it keeps toggling to 2G. would this be the reason for the random 180mA spikes on a rom with no apps beside currentwidget?.

Is there an app that toggles 2G and 3G? I have quick settings but when I toggle the 3G it takes me to the setting screen instead of just enabling or disabling 3G.... :D:mad:
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Please report back if you've nailed it, mate. (And don't forget to hit THANKS ;) if I've helped, well it works as a tag for me for probs that ppl have solved, sort of like a bookmark).
[Desire HD General] eliashadow:
I have 2 questions if someone can help me.

1)Some times,when im going to calibrate my battery and im using current widget and BatteryCallibration app,im waiting mAh in current widget to show me ''0''.Then im going to the app^ and i can see that the ''current chardge:100%,4177mV''.The strange is that the most time i calibrate my battery,the max mV are 4191 always!If i unplugged the phone and plug it again,after about 30 min i check the app and it show me ''current charge:100%,4191mV''.

There is something wrong or not?

2)When im testing kernel and battery behavior in my rom, i always using current widget log overnight.So,some times i have strange mAh and not normal like my previous post or like op (3mAh-10mAh), but the battery draining isnt so bad!For example 4% in about 5,5 hours.What about this?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Don't be too meticulous, mate.

Even best made batteries out there suffer from normal tear & wear after cycles of use (draining-charging-draining).

Some advises that for a 'perfect' calibration one has to completely drain the battery till the phone turns off itself after a low batt warning, some others advises against it since it does harm to Li-on cells. :)

The way I see it, if it can last you the whole day with moderate-high use, then your battery has served its purpose.

Last but not least important, you have to realize even the best written app for monitoring battery has flaws/limitation in accuracy, I must say.
[Desire HD General] eliashadow:
I have to be meticulus cause im helping in NCTeam and i want a perfect rom...:)

Anyway,thanks for your answer..;)
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
then I must say between 4177 and 4191, thus, delta 14mAh, is negligible due to hardware/software limitation and/or battery condition (not brand new)? ;)
[Desire HD General] a user:
all is fine. the mV value is not increasing nor falling lineary. if you put load on your phone the mV value may decrease a bit faster for a moment and when the load stops it can increase a bit.

when you reached 0ma the phone got only enough current to sustain the battery. hence if the was some load it could have decreased the mV value a bit for a moment.
[Desire HD General] djbenny1:
anyone?

i did this with only the core apps installed and using both wifi and data - remained around 20mA occasionally rising to 50 during one 5min period every now and again
[Desire HD General] a user:
that'S too high. how is your mobile signal strength at the place you messure?
[Desire HD General] djbenny1:
hi, thanks for reply.

my signal is anywhere between -80 and -105 dBm at home which gives me anywhere from 2-4 bars of GPRS signal usually - does that change things?

i just flashed a new radio tonight as my signal was poor after flashing CM7 so I'll see if this is any different
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Use 2G only, then, and see if things change. anything under -90dBm is pretty much poor signal (in negative numbers, means -100dBm is worse, etc).

Which radio, which ROM, please be concise.
[Desire HD General] djbenny1:
hi im using CM7 nightly 31/08/2011 on my HTC Incredible S

right now im using radio 3805.06.06.03 which isnt the specific recommended radio, but my signal is improved and ive noticed no change in battery life.

thanks
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
What kind of noticeable improvements do you expect? :) It all combination of what kind of signal you have (2g/3g/2bars/full bars), apps running in the background, wifi, data on/off, gps, screen on/brightness adjustments, etc.
[Desire HD General] memnoc:
the answer is yes..but it depends on many stuff...with this guide, the most useful point is figure out what is better to avoid to improve battery life, and also you're sure that software (calibration) and hardware (the battery itself) are in good condition to provide the best performance ever...
[Desire HD General] akpe:
Something along the lines of lower mA when idle (and possibly in low usage conditions as well) I guess :)

Thanks mate :) I just finished recharging after a full drain, and waiting to compare the results :D

BTW, just now my battery went from 87% to 100% in a second! Green light and all. Due to the calibration I guess? :confused:

I had noticed that again, however it jumped just a few, like from 97% to 100%, not that much, which worries me that the battery may be dying...

Anyway, gonna wait till +0mA and give it a try :D
[Desire HD General] ahmedfusmani:
Battery does not reach 0mA

Thanks, I have Evo 4G. Fortunately no harm was done. I used this process on my HD2 and it worked fine. I can't figure out why I don't get lower numbers. With all the roms I tried, I only installed battery monitor widget.. no other apps. I even went back to stock and could not get below -25mA. Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] djbenny1:
anyone have any ideas on why my current never seems to drop below 18-20??

ive tried everything including turning off mobile network completely and leaving just wifi on, but its still the same.

its using around 1-1.5% per hour when asleep - but like i said, if i could get that down to 3mA, i would have much greater life in sleep mode...

thanks
[Desire HD General] patomo09:
heavy battery drain.?

right now elixir 2 says that my current battery drain is -310ma without any program running....
[Desire HD General] memnoc:
Guys, for everyone who notice the issue with mA never go under certain values, I'm pretty sure that is software related and also depends on the device model.. keep in mind that left in charge the device 1h or more after green led, basically means charge your battery properly, even if you can't be 100% sure about mA values.. try this way and let me know if the other methods written in op works fine on any device..

I have a question about battery calibration.I'm using app to calibrate and current widget waiting to show me 0mAh.

But I'm wondering about traditional method of calibration through recovery.Even we wait 0mAh and then go to recovery,the battery goes to 99%,before i can wipe battery stats.(ext4 recovery show me the battery%).so,its the properly to calibrate the battery with this way?

Send from Guantanamo using stolen DHD
[Desire HD General] Tegen:
I charge until current widget says 0ma, then delete /data/system/batterystats.bin with ES-Explorer (root mode & /+/system mounted writable).

Then reboot and unplug the phone.

Works fine to me. :)

@DC

have you read the op (first post)? did you followed the instructions? if so explain which and what and how and what you discovered till now.

your log says only two things:

your device is never sleeping (do not confuse screen off with sleep!)

and something is draining you battery (surprise)

that's what i can't understand... Only Qip mobile can prevent my device from sleeping (but i found it out some time ago so i use IM+ with Push mode on). I really dunno what it could be. Qip was the hardest drainer of a battery... The situation is better now but is still very bad with IM+.

i made wipes, then installed energy rom, then - bricked kernel. Charged to 100%, wiped battery info in recovery...

after that i made a full charge again and a trick with calibration and battery battery_stats.bin

it's still bad oO

Try uninstalling the IM clients and see how it goes.

i can't live w\o icq clients oO

hi,

a passage is missing. once my battery is totally charged, do I wanna unplug the charger beofre I calibrate, or should I do it while still plugged in?

and when you say totally discharged, you mean it should shut down by itself because the battery is 0%?

thnk you, I will definitely follow this guide I loose 60% over night while sleeping :eek:

deleted qip, im+ and skype for test... still the same as i can see oO

Will this work on the MyTouch 4G?
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
Yes, works on every device so to speak. Try it, no harm.

did not work at all...

I can list my downloaded programs... Maybe it can be usefull?

Advanced Task killer - just to look what is running and can drain battery. Off almost 100% time.
