Resolving Battery Draw Down Issues

I had the same problem when I first flashed the Viper XL ROM. I would go through 80% of my battery in about six hours. I originally posted this on page 1457 I think, but here is is again, just for you! LOL! It takes about 2-1/2 hours total for this procedure when you begin with the phone 100% charged. But I can tell you first hand that it DOES work! I can sometimes go 16-20 hours without a charge since performing this routine.

To save you some time, just go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990 and follow the instructions EXACTLY!

Battery Low Resolving Battery Draw Down Issues

I've been experiencing rapid draw down on my battery during normal use. The battery is about 20% after 10 hours. WiFi is on all day, and screen brightness is set to auto, but these same settings used to be on all day with the stock ROM, and I would be down to about 30% after 14 hours of normal use; phone calls, messaging, e-mail, facebook, instagram, occasional video. (Note: When in the car, listening to music via bluetooth, I always have the car charger connected.)

I tried setting the display brightness from Auto to a lower, manual setting. This has given me a little improvement, but not much.

I did some research, and found some interesting points. The first being, we have a new ROM installed and are spending a lot of time playing around with it, exploring the various features, tweaks, etc. This is something we did not do on the stock ROM, so of course we are using more battery then normal while doing all this exploration. Having said that, I read in an earlier post about installing and running a battery conditioner from the market place to improve battery life. I was exploring doing that, and came across this article:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/10505198...ts/FV3LVtdVxPT

In a nutshell, the battery conditioners are a waste of time. Some will either damage the battery, while others do nothing more than erase the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory. This happens automatically when you recharge your phone to 100% anyhow.

I then found these two articles here on XDA.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701567

and this one, from HTC.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990

I tried the first method yesterday, and found that I got some incremental improvement. I am almost done with the second method and I will report back as to if there is any significant improvement or not.

According to the 2nd HTC post, contained in the thread, this method is a one time deal, (or, every time you flash a new ROM), whereas the first method needs to be repeated every time you charge the phone. ( I will be trying this method on my wife's (my old) HTC Aria, rooted, S-Off, running the Liberated ROM, as well. She gets about 5 hours total batter life before having to recharge.)

Diane Hackborn's google article is pretty informative, and for those of you experiencing significant draw down issues, it is is worth the time to read the article and all the subsequent posts. There's a lot of information there.

Hi ViperXL users, occasionally I will mention other threads to point users in the right direction when they are experiencing problems or are lacking knowledge and I recommend some reading material.

The following thread is a great resource to find links to anything from S-Off to radios and even our beloved ViperXL thread.

is it possible to downgrade from 3.2.8 to 3.2.7?

I wish I would have done a nandroid before I did the update. Ever since the update, I've had some real show-stopper problems. Notably, google now crashes when I try to do a search. Also, tapatalk fc's.

Does 3.2.8 play nice with elemental X 6.5? All I can think is it may be a kernel issue. I hope it's that simple.
