[HTC Desire S] solidussnaku:
First of all, hi XDA! I wanted to use my beginning thread to praise the people here, but sadly problems has occurred with my phone, details below:

Post Root and flash to CM7.1 offical, my phone was fine to begin with, I noticed only a slight improvement in battery life, which was much improved when I flashed Tiamat 1.13 kernel which, fantastically, doubled my battery life on a day to day usage routine. However some time later I stumbled across the thread on this forum listing how to best get maximum battery life from the Desire S made by LaKraven in the Desire S General section.

Which I followed and took the necessary steps to further improve my battery life. It kinda worked. What seems to be the biggest problem is the battery configuration, which I attempted two times. Two problems occurred the first time, even though the phone was charged up to a 100 percent it still listed the battery meter at 99 to my annoyance. I went ahead and re-calibrated the battery using the app mentioned and whittled down my battery to full discharge. Charged it up full as per the XDA thread suggested and again used it until it was discharged, however this time I made the mistake of allowing the phone to the battery for a good few hours after the green light was on.

I thought the only reasonable thing to do was to again re-calibrate the battery, since the over charging derailed the process. Re-attempted it and everything went well.

But then the ‘fallout’ began. Since re-calibrating, I have had a worse battery life then I did whilst I was on stock. I thought the radio was to blame, but the battery drain happens no matter what I do with the device. Internet, video, music, using apps, even browsing though options make the battery drop almost like a stone. On stock, a 1-2 hour constant usage would drop the percentage around 20%, on CM7 and Tiamat Kernel before calibration, a mere 6-8%. But now it results in a 30% drop, with battery saving features applied. I re-calibrated a week ago, and allowed the battery to 'settle in' as per the thread linked suggested, but it has made no difference.

It happens when the device is on standby as well, without airplane mode enabled and quiet mode on, there is on average a 5-7 percent drop in battery life. With airplane mode on, it stays high, but drops a few points only a minute after airplane mode is off. A total contrast to stock, where the overnight standby resulted in no battery loss at all. With or without airplane mode on, surprisingly.

Interestingly enough, games don’t really tax that battery that much, Samurai vengeance 2 drains less battery then Jorte does when making my weekly schedule, usually a 15 minute task. The same goes for other, less demanding games, like Game dev story or PewPew.

Continuing from this, oddities occurred after calibration, firstly whatever percentage I charged up to (e.g 75) would result the battery staying at that level for a unusually long time, but as soon as it drops to the number below the drain kicks in all over again.

Secondly, whilst the phone is charging, performing my daily reboot results the phone shooting up 10 percent in battery charge which only happened post calibration.

Stats from the battery section in the 'about phone' menu in the option menu lists mobile standby and phone idle as the biggest battery eaters, at 32% and 29% respectively. Wifi is listed at 3 percent.

I'm at a loss on what to do, and thought it would be best to consult much better experienced and knowledgeable people on the matter.:)

Finally, using the clockwork mod boot into recovery option results in the phone freezing when the blue android robot and file is displayed. Any help on how to sort this out? I would really like to get the honeycomb boot animation on my phone.

Thank you for reading a long post!
