[Desire General] sergiu_l:
I have since 2 weaks the "revolution" ROM. It´s awesome... how?

From 8.00 am morning till now, battery lost only 4%. Now we have here 14.23 pm.

Last charge was ending yesterday morning. (at about 09.00 am, and now i have 69% battery-life: after 29,5 hours. allways 3G on, using some internet and some apps like tweetdeck, facebook and checking 2 times 8 Mail-accounts in k-9 Mail)

It looks like the battery will go good 3 days.

The ROM is stalbe and works really well. I just wanted to thank to this guy, but I don´t have enough posts to post in the developrs Forum ;)
[Desire General] mathijssli:
For me Cyanogenmod has the best battery life. But that's just my opinion.
[Desire General] danarama:
Really? I find it one of the Worst. Nearly as bad as Sense ROMs.
[Desire General] mathijssli:
Well, with the stock Rom I had to charge my battery daily, with Cyanogenmod I could use it for a whole day and only used 21% of my battery.

I'm currently on Aurora V4.1 and that has about the same battery performence as the stock rom.
[Desire General] danarama:
You should try some of the other AOSP roms. Yeah CM is better than stock (what isn't? ;) ), but its about the worst of the AOSP's for battery life.
[Desire General] scarabe17:
I think that Oxygen is the better one for it ...
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
been getting some great hours from mine. yes not much use but from stock its a massive improvement
[Desire General] scarabe17:
How can your display use only 20% ? do you have an Amoled Desire ?

On my S-LCD, display is always 50 - 60%
[Desire General] erklat:
Easy. By not using your phone. I already pointed out to this, yet he is persistent this is a proof of great battery life :rolleyes:

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire General] danarama:
Usually that is indicative of one of two things:

1) phone is not undervolted meaning in relation to activities using CPU, it seems lower as CPU activities use more power

2) desire is used more like a phone. Screen on for short periods only for calls, texts, quick Google and email but spends most of its time asleep
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
like i said :rolleyes: not much use but i only got 1 day with the same use before new rom and setcpu
[Desire General] scarabe17:
I understand that, but even if i'm playing display is the most used, not the game himself ...
[Desire General] danarama:
Take phone off charge. Play game 5 minutes. Display 60% example.

Leave phone to sleep for 24 hours. Display now only 20%.

It's simple proportions. It's only 60% of what is used. If the screen is then not used at all, as the total battery % goes down, so does the % of battery used by screen
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
I think I have a winner here for the guide, a good rom/kernel/tweaks setup

Watch this space :)
[Desire General] ttf203:
do you tell us?
[Desire General] borth87:
I flashed 2days ago the redux 2 test version. Comming form CM7 and the battery improvment is very great.

After 10hours with ~8min call, 10sms, all time wlan or mobile data, checking emails and just a few minutes on browsing i got something about 55-60%
[Desire General] erklat:
That's not so great. You had 10 minutes worth of calls and approximately 30 min screen on time and you're down to 55%. That is pretty bad actually.

Great is 30+ hrs with at least 2 hrs of screen on time.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Hopefully by tomorrow night mate, rootSU knows I'm working on it
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well to give you a buzz/update

I took my phone off charge this morning, 100%. Phone has been sitting idle except for playing music on the way to work, on my desk.

I left home @ 6:45am. Its now 11:55am and the phones at 96% :). And I have 3G running at all times. Wifi sometimes, but I turn it on only when I want it
[Desire General] danarama:
Ive noticed that you can do pretty much the same (2 hours screen on) under similar conditions and the battery will drain differently.

For example on my way to work, I use the screen constantly on the journey there and back and intermittantly throughout the day. Obviously moving between towers has a slight toll too. At the end of it I have 2 hours screen on time and need to charge it at night.

On a weekend, I use the phone less frequently. Screen is still on over 2 hours but the phone lasts longer as the screen on is in much smaller chunks and the sleep time between use is much greater. The phone could last 48 hours by the end of the weekend with the same 2 hours screen time as when the phone only lasts 24 hours.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
True true
[Desire General] BartAfterDark:
We should make a program that could test the battery somehow. Like running X tests, screen on/screen off and so on :) So we would get more usable results.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well this is odd. Screen is not going into deep sleep, but battery life ATM is stupidly good...just need to work out why its not deep sleeping
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
OK, found the issue, my kernel version wasnt allowing the phone to deep sleep. So I will be giving it a good thrashing tomorrow :)
[Desire General] danarama:
Well the screen never changes. It always uses the same on every rom assuming the brightness level is set equally.

Also, Radio is variable, it draws more power depending onsignal strenght.

To run such an app, you would have to enure all radio's were off ans the screen was on the same level or preferably off, to get scientific results.

That way all that is being monitored are things that use CPU. But Then you cant measure if sync settings are better or not...
[Desire General] slayersparty:
one day without charging is enough for me ^^
[Desire General] gpkumaran:
Oh, I dint know battery life may depend on ROM this much.can anybody tell their battery life with always wifi on?I get less than a day :-(
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well heres what Ive gotten done so far. Bearing in mind its not finished yet, but this is going to be quite big, so it will take me a while to finish

This is section 1, and outlines whats going to happen, and some of the processes involved. Next section will come over the course of the next week as I get time to test a few bits and make sure they work as I want them to.

No point recommending something for others to use if you havent used/tried/thrashed it yourself beforehand :D
[Desire General] borth87:
thanks for ur work dude, can't wait to read the finshed version :)
[Desire General] dandelio:
I think a lot depends on the setting of the kernel
[Desire General] RamBo-ZamBo:
I'm using Sense ROMs and I never get more than a day, phone even dies on me if I'm up late that day. Thats why I charge it every night AND at work. Leedroid had the worst kind of battery drain, didn't even get past 8pm somedays. Now I use Sebastiaan's Runnymede ROM, seems better: It runs a day from 8am till 1am next day, good enough for me.

Storys about 2-3 days seem unrealistic to me, even with a nonsense (haha!) ROM
[Desire General] danarama:
2-3 days is not unrealistic. I reckon I could get a week out of my phone.

Only thing to remember is people who do get 2-3 days do not use their phone much. It's mostly on standby.

Radio and screen are the biggest drains and other than setting 2g and 0% brightness theres nothing that will change that
[Desire General] vbz1312:
RevolutioN 2.0

- 24h hard use smart phone

- 3-4 day as regular phone
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
10 2min calls 10 text 10 email checks 2 10min surfs a day i.d get 48hrs but that's a problem because that puts me flat 2 days after it was took off the charger i.e. 7:00 am so now its flat for the working day ahead. grrrr . As said screen on and brightness are the biggest for standard use. If sat naving with screen on well its dire. Its so use specific subjective subject
[Desire General] peejanz:
I think it depends on what yo do with your phone that determines how long the battery will last. I use Aurora v4 with bananacakes bsf + HAV kernels and i find the battery drain to be minimal despite it being a sense rom.
[Desire General] larsson86:
See you guys talking about 24-36 hours.

I'm having problems having it running for 10-12 hours.

I'm not a "extreme" user. I use the phone mostly for checking e-mails, text messaging and WordFeud. :P

Not constantly, but like for now, since 06:00 this morning, the screen has been on 59 mins (65%) and the battery is around 54%.

I'm running gingercakes 0.9 HAVS 2-way and Cool3D Aces V3.

Anyone else having these extremely bad battery stats? Suggestions how to improve it?
[Desire General] danarama:
What brightness level?
[Desire General] larsson86:
Automatic...
[Desire General] danarama:
Im not sure how efficiently auto brightness uses the sensors. I have a toggle between 0% and Auto and works out quite well.
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
The other consideration is battery condition I have a battery that's 2 months old (genuine HTC) and it fairs much better than the 16mth old battery that came with the phone. my earlier results are with the newer battery
[Desire General] Elbert:
I'm getting about 60 hours with mild use.

About an hour calling, 20 texts, very little apps used, updated/downloaded a couple of apps, 3G always on, wifi never.

This is on a one year old desire with the latest oxygen rom and SetCPU.

Brightness on automatic.

To compare, i was getting about 36 hours with the stock rom.
[Desire General] jmw2207:
I Found insertcoin 1.1.4 to be the best sense rom battery consumer. Still have to manage it a bit though
[Desire General] larsson86:
That's very good!

My phone is only a half year old, and as I wrote earlier, I'm lucky to get 10-12 hours without a shutdown/battery warning.

I've tried Oxygen earlier, not with SetCPU though, but I can't say I had much better battery time then. Maybe a couple of hours more.

Don't know what to do to increase the battery time. :(
[Desire General] ZigmaDK:
Not to be rude.

But those 24 hours, 10 hours, 2 days are all useless figures.

You don't used them for 2 days straight or 24 hours.

The only real number that is of any use is how many hours the screen has been on.

I'm using the ROM in my sig and I get 4-4½ hours of having the screen on. That is gaming, browsing, reading, on 3G and WiFi mixed.

How do other roms do?
[Desire General] suramania:
is there an app to log screen on time?

its true tough usage really varies.. IMO its more accurate to compare from standby time, using graphical statitic app of sorts..
[Desire General] ZigmaDK:
I use the standard "About Phone" -> Battery Use.

There I have a Display taking up xx% and if I press that I get how many hours the display has been on.
[Desire General] danarama:
They're all about the same for screen use. The Rom can't control the screen drain only (with kernel) CPU drain. With CPU savings though, can come a little more screen use, but its negligible
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
if a screen was on for 2hrs constantly while device is in use you will find the drain would be enormous. usually going from 90+% down to about 40/50%

this is usually because of the device registering touch interactions but also as the screen state is on for longer periods it generates heat which aids battery depletion.

if its 2 hrs spread out over an entire day that some of the time is where the screen isnt being touched and is waiting to sleep, heat battery/device temp doesnt get too hot so depletion is slower.

basically understanding the best rom kernel is about testing it against your own evidence and not other people as your use is completely unique to someone elses

#

best battery life ive had is with dGB 1.4 manu 1.4 havs axi cfs kernel with setcpu to tweek the lower clock to 128 and max to 1113 on demand (screen off 128 - 256)
[Desire General] Shehabi:
Oxygen Rom
[Desire General] larsson86:
:( :mad:

Cool3D and gingercakes 0.9. Tried calibrating the battery also, without any improvements. :(
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well ill get more chance to update the guide this week, not on afterhrs support at work
[Desire General] gjpicko:
I've been using Redux2 and the battery is loads better.
[Desire General] elrombios:
The AOSP ROM's is greate, because of their lightweight, but the kernel may be not so optimized, like from stock ROM. The other hand of this story is about energy savings settings, like 2G mobile internet and other well known things. The third one is battery calibration, that can be taken into consideration.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
I have a bit more time this weekend I can add a bit more to the guide
[Desire General] tomen94:
Try sebastians runnymeyed... Good battery life ... 2 days with normal use(with 3g and wifi...)
[Desire General] xpeter88:
This is screenshot from desire of my friend. He's using runnymede 5 by sebastiaan15. Awesome.

You don't need any other app for improvement battery life.
[Desire General] danarama:
Screen on almost 0. All roms can last days with no screen on
[Desire General] GoatMachine:
Try sebastians runnymeyed. Two days of normal use ( music and always 3G on, ... ) and still 30% battery life. Best Rom i´ve ever tried
[Desire General] xpeter88:
Yes but such as I use cm7 and my battery life is about 18 hrs if my screen is almost on 0. Here is the difference.
[Desire General] man4714:
which ver. you are using?? im on 5.3 but it seems consuming up battery more.. :o
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
I find gingervillan to be very good with battery life
[Desire General] trasfer71:
I also tried the 2.3.1 Oxygen and Bravo seems to have a ottiam duration for the battery, I could do 2 days.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well by this weekend the next part of the guide will be done
[Desire General] puncha1580:
I'm using CM 7. Flashed ROM, wiped battery stats from recovery after charging 90 %.

This is what I got.

So no matter what. If your display is on for a high amount of time.

1hour translates to 10%
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
There's a few things am trying as well, will report back
[Desire General] puncha1580:
And this is what I have after 7 hours.

So, I guess display is a big battery hog.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Means u don't have powersaving setup right
[Desire General] puncha1580:
Sorry for the late reply, no powersave Setup. No OC too. Just the defaults that the rom had.
[Desire General] cvejleaa:
How are you doing on the guide?
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Getting there, sorry its been a bit slow, work brought forward my next turn on afterhrs support a week because one of my colleagues who was meant to be on, is on annual leave ATM :(
[Desire General] erklat:
I hope your efforts will not be in vain with the increasing number of idiots roaming these forums. But it will be a win situation if you prevent at least one from posting idiotic queries under development (which I doubt).
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Oh I aim to put as much info in as I can. Went through a few days where what I was working on, didn't.

But as I always do, I find a way round it:D
[Desire General] erklat:
Mate, you're not doing it for me (or those alike) ;)

You're doing that for nabs, but for them it would be easier to open a two three new threads both in General, Q&A and Development about his uber Runnymede rom freezing with snq's kernel. :D
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Doing it mainly so everyone can share/use the information :)
[Desire General] harm007:
Actually, I use Runnymede AIO 2.5 / XD2SDX / CM7R2 from sebastiaan15.

I can use my phone about two days.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
I'd find that highly unlikely
[Desire General] Someone09:
Yup, same here.

Best battery-saver ROM I ever had was the open desire one back in the day.
[Desire General] nozzla:
Is there such a rom?
[Desire General] droidwizzo:
I suggest users with battery problems try out an app called Juice Defender from the market. It basically switches off your internet (2G or 3G) and switches it on at 15 minute intervals to fetch messages. My phone lasts couple of days after installing this app..This is compared to 16 - 18 hours max before I had the app.. Hope this helps!
[Desire General] dan281082:
surley u can manage this urself with out the need for a app taking up battery power doing it???
[Desire General] erklat:
This.
[Desire General] Nutterpc:
Well if I didn't use my phone so much

I'd get well over 1 day
[Desire General] iruiz2:
In my case changing to cm7 did the trick, with some extra twicks:

Set brightness levels quite low (you can set them in cm7)

Uninstall setcpu and similar programs, cm7 does a good job already.

Tapatalking
[Desire General] wings400:
I would say a LeeDroid rom (because of snq- kernel). In general I think froyo roms always had better battery life's than gb roms, dont know why, maybe its just me.
[Desire General] kciko:
Leedriod 2.3d used to give me up to 3 days battery

HOLY SH*T!! I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'... lol

CM7 7.1.0, JT 9/28 [OC-1300, no UV - cfq/ondemand], supercharged, adrenaline VXXX SC.

Edit: I'm hitting around 3800 consistantly... I know quadrant isn't a crazy accurate benchmark or anything, but DAMN! =D
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
This rules. I've been running the Nightlies with no real issues, but this is just amazing.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrodsunshine:
i toyed around with this earlier today. Everything was fantastic. GPS locked in seconds, phone was fast, data/wifi worked, camera worked. The only exception is that I could not receive any incoming sms/mms. It was not until i did a factory reset did I receive my sms/mms. This was, of course, after i did *228 activation. Can anyone who is familiar with the nightlies possibly shed some light on my issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
very tempting. 2.3.4 has treated me so well...
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
I jumped on this this morning, came from VGB with Glitch. Very smooth and stable. Im seeing better battery life from jt's kernel despite not UVing quite as much as I did with Glitch. I'm sure I'll try it with Glitch eventually but as is its a terrific package as is. Fantastic work by jt and the CM crew
[Fascinate Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
What's the difference between this and the nightlies?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Its a final version... on a side note, I flashed this and everything seems great! The only issue I have noticed is that everytime I reboot I must turn wifi off/on to turn "green"(on)?
[Fascinate Android Development] jdedeaux:
downloaded this, rebooted into recovery. wiped data/factory , cache, installed this zip, but get a bunch of prop errors before it takes off, aborts install.

comfing from powerwash via odin
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I had to odin back to stock ed05 w/ pit and boot once

power off odin cwmall. tar

threefinger into recovery and flash su2.3.x root file then reboot

power off odin cwm4

three finger into recovery and flash cm7.1.0 zip

any other way would not work correctly for me. The phone must be rooted before you flash cm7.
[Fascinate Android Development] koszor:
flashing right now, very excited
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
what kind of kernel does this use? OC? UV? Voodoo? Sorry just trying to understand! Pictures anyone? woohooo going to flash this!
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
It uses jt's 9/27 kernal...use voltage control to overclock/undervolt.
[Fascinate Android Development] sam.assad:
screen shots

i did install this rom its soooooooo fast and smooth , zero lag ..one thing hapened 1st time i turn storage on it ask me to format the sd which i didnt i change the usb port couples of time and it work :confused:

other than that it all good
[Fascinate Android Development] ksbc616:
I just installed this Rom but I do not see market app.
[Fascinate Android Development] sam.assad:
if u wiped all 3 u need to install gapps-gb-20110828 put in sd flash through cwm thats it
[Fascinate Android Development] SteveC485:
Does CM 7 do away with the idiot media scanner, or is this just a basic fact of life with the Fascinate? Thinking I may try this. Also, which Clockwork Mod is needed?
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Hmm. I got 2798 Oc 1400. 2244@1000
[Fascinate Android Development] sol_671:
Ya been getting this on my 32GB but it works on my Comp, tried formatting it again in my comp then it works fine until I reboot then it would say damage as card. My 16gb works fine on this. Don't want to try formatting anything through the phone cause I might end up with a fried sd card. Does CM7 and MIUI have problems with 32gb?
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Are you guys using the GB Bootloaders? Shouldn't be an issue anymore really.
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
JT said a long time ago that the bootloaders are irrelevant.
