Well considering you're on WiFi the whole day

that's normal

but I spend 8 hours a day at school

with Airplane mode on, no WiFi, no apps on auto-sync, no gaming, no music listening, I basically don't touch it

and it drains 20%

while on stock it would drain at most 3% and run for about 5 days before needing to recharge

and same overnight (without Airplane mode, meaning even more drain)

So I was hoping

with the way I used my phone

I didn't have to charge so often and worry about it

and it's also weird, and I'm wondering if it's the kernel's problem

but [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] says the kernel is fine
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Maybe your phone's battery is dying??

On Blackout ROM, I used to loose 25% a day with just music and connectivity on.

I am personally not experiencing any massive battery drain problems. Szeszo isn't either and I'm sure a lot of us are getting average battery life on this ROM. So I think we can rule out kernel or ROM issue...
[HTC Incredible S] AndyYan:
Everybody's talking about battery drain, so I guess I'll join in...

My IncS is totally inactive and usually sits in the drawer all day unless I wake it up to check the time (very occasionally). Not much softwares are installed, and I've done quite some optimization to make sure nothing besides the input method runs in the background (you can tell from my available RAM: 460+MB ). Airplane Mode is always on since there's no SIM inserted. No WiFi, no GPS, no whatsoever.

Under this configuration, I get >12days of standby time on Sense 4.x ROMs, ~10days on CM10.x, ~5days on Sense 5, but ~2.5days at best on this ROM. That's why I'm also starting to doubt that this drain may not be software- or connectivity-related, but rather a ROM issue.

I have been on CyanVivo X Reborn and loving it for a while now, but yesterday I took the plunge and installed VivoKat for the first time. It is a wonderful ROM, kudos to Szezso and anyone else you has assisted. I have been following the thread since it started, but I do have one question since it is up to 80-something pages: I remember seeing several fixes for various things posted, which of these still need to be applied to Beta 7? I know that I need to install the SuperSU v1.80 to get root, anything else? Again, awesome job...battery life seems to be great so far and it's super smooth!
[HTC Incredible S] onejay09:

[HTC Incredible S] OrC1989:
I am currently on BETA #5, but I am experiencing an unbelievably high battery drain (it can go down 20-30% per night in sleep mode), with no wakelocks (tested) whatsoever or even in plane mode.

As I cannot find any wakelocks there, what could be the problem?

Might it be that it is IncS battery end of life term? will battery replacement give another year of life for my IncS?

Thank you
[HTC Incredible S] mafie:
You are 2 versions down.. Try BETA #7, Many bugs were fixed :good:

Left out with few though, which Szezso is working on. :) However battery drain seems to be consistent in this ROM.

Try a different ROM before replacing your battery. would suggest CM 10.
[HTC Incredible S] Iqbal Ansari:
Ok guys finally I bought a S3 and I must say upgrading from single core to quad core is huge. I'm loving S3.

Thanks a lot szezso for all your work. You are the reason I kept my Inc s for long time.

Bye Guys have fun.
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
UPDATE!​

- STABLE now. :)

- Fully fixed camera

- CM sync

I got tired of the battery drain today

and decided to just wipe everything

and the battery life was EXCELLENT!!!

so sorry for blaming the kernel

now I'm going to start a scientific test

installing one new app everyday to find out which one was draining the battery

but I need help to make the "control" list

so could ANYONE who thinks they have a stable battery tell me which apps below they're also using?

this will be my control

GOOGLE STUFF

1. Google Maps

2. Google Keep

3. Google Zhuyin input

4. Youtube

SOCIAL STUFF

5. Mediafire

EDIT: [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] , I have a feeling that someone would watch the OP, get excited, ignore the WiFi quickfix and start complaining about borked WiFi... So maybe you should also put the link to the quickfix in the OP for the time being.

Been lookin at this because i thinks it's time to reflash my wife's phone. as far as i understand everything is golden except for video recording and playback. now that should not be an issue. the thing holding me back is that this rom is not rooted, is there anyway to root it afterwards, because root is a must have for her

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
You need to flash the latest SuperSU, that's all. Link: http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip?retrieve_file=1

If it were anyone else they'd probably be annoyed

so I'll just answer for you

EDIT: oops I'm late

btw [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]

battery drain last night was 25% (not good)

so now I'm just going to wipe everything, and not touch it (other than the first few instructions and ethernet off)

and see what the drain is after charging to 100%
[HTC Incredible S] Shadowofagony:
i've installed supersu 1.86 via recovery, uncheck option connected with CM and still i have no root.. any advices?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Strange issue, it works for me. :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Shadowofagony:
hmm.. i'll try to reinstall rom, mb it would help..

upd. after reinstall i have root. but there is smth strange. before flashing the rom i make all wipes(cashe+dalvik+all partiotions except sd card) and i have the same wallpaper as it was before(in previous rom). previous rom was sense rom. should it be that way?
[HTC Incredible S] aerosmith:
Maybe it will not help but does not hurt installing the snapdragon batteryguru app. I have installed this app on cm vivo 10.1 and after the app was trained the battery now retains charge for a little longer time. The training of the app takes about three days though.
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I think, that the Play Services restored your old wallpaper. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Thanks for the advice!

I'll install it after a few hours (right now running the benchmark drain with nothing installed)

Thanks for the eagerness to help guys!

btw

right now (with nothing installed)

cLock is using the most battery, trying to use the GPS when I disabled GPS

so I turned the weather part of cLock off

hopefully that'll get rid of the drain

if that doesn't work

I'll have to uninstall it
[HTC Incredible S] AndyYan:
I seriously doubt whether this would work. See my post a few pages back:

See? I don't even install GApps, and use a very minimal set of apps that doesn't need to run in the background at all. Even after all this (which is supposed to be very battery-saving), a night's stay still costs me ~20% of battery.

[HTC Incredible S] sethjustseth:
I tested my overnight battery drain also and came out losing around 24-25% with most apps greenified.

[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]: I noticed that you've started working on Samsung ROM development, so should we (IncS user) be worried about you moving on or will you still visit us sometimes to share some ROM goodness? =)
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Yep, I started, just check my signature, and you'll know, why! ;) But you shouldn't be worried, cause the IncS has the highest priority, the Express will be my daily driver (as the Sensation was), and I'll try to make CMs to that phone also (cause it doesn't have any DEV atmosphere, or something), but the IncS will never be delayed, I promise! ;)
[HTC Incredible S] TheQwertiest:
It's really a relief to hear that =) Because you are the only thing that prevents our IncS from becoming obsolete (and thus keeping us from migrating to other phones) ;)
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Just keep calm, I'll support it, till it's possible. :p
[HTC Incredible S] super-user2.3:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] you are incredibly kind and hardworking dev for this phone

i wish all the best things in the world

p.s: after having ION running on our phone does this mean the sense 5 rom will be done in the near future?

accept my HUGGGE THANX
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
CM and Sense 5 are very different. Here, we're using CM-compatible, and source-built audio and camera libs. With Sense, we can't use source-built ones, cause with those, the ROM won't boot, because it's not compatible with hTC's own source. So, only ION for AOSP.
[HTC Incredible S] uprockin:
So [MENTION=1132633]szeszo[/MENTION], what do you think about the video playback? :D

Yeah I know that nothing is impossible for a genius. But I wonder when to have this feature to use as daily :good:
[HTC Incredible S] lazz121:
This rom is awesome! Buy this man a beer :good:

I'm glad that the camera is finally working, but I noticed that the pictures are fuzzy / soft / blurred.

I'll check this again tomorrow with some more daylight.

It's at the end, when it should create the zImage, but these errors stop it. :) So, it almost compiles!
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
Okay, it compiles now, but it doesn't pass the splash screen, so it needs some work. :)
[HTC Incredible S] uprockin:
If the difference between "almost compiles" and "compiles now!" is about ~20 mins, then "it needs some work" may be about an hour :p

[HTC Incredible S] AndyYan:

[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
Yeah Andy's right

some of us basically don't touch our phone

and it dies after 1.5 days

by the way

today's benchmark test was kind of weird

drained from 85% to 60% in 10 hours, no airplane but nothing else on either

so basically what I had previously

with the "OKed apps": Youtube & Maps

(and just for precaution, I uninstalled the original calendar and installed the Play Store ver.)

and the uninstalled cLock (REALLY BIG DRAINER)

not sure if this test is going to work after all

with the default draining this much
[HTC Incredible S] DuffyBank:
Amazing. Szezso, a few weeks ago, told us not to expect much because of his sched/family and what not....several beta PMEM and an ION or two betas later.....and here we have a working ION CM11 4.4.2. LOL. If only you had some time to dedicate to our issues....

If video is fixed, have fum with the samsung, until 4.4.3.

Szezso, enjoy Sol Invictus, be as Pagan as you wish, and thanks

Great ROM! Only one issue I have encountered so far is with Google Keyboard off the Play Store. Upon launching the setup off the app drawer, the phone hot reboots and then enters an android.process.media crash loop. Not sure if anyone can replicate this?

[HTC Incredible S] davidchuyaya:
um...guys

the "baseline" test ended up using 21% over 9 hours

which is not good considering I used it for less than 5 minutes in between

so

should I try wiping everything and trying baseline for the last time? (because I actually need some apps on my phone)

or should I just give up?

(btw how's your battery life on stable [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]?)
[HTC Incredible S] funCrash93:
imho, as we have a stable one now, [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] could you consider improving with some optimisations?

we all know how good (in all terms, especially battery life) your ROMs are.

why it's such a drainer? or maybe it's not only our phone? maybe a CM bug?

[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION], haven't you consider trying SlimKat (I mean for us to try)?
[HTC Incredible S] szezso:
I don't really check my battery life, it can always handle a day of my usage, and I charge it every night. But I have to say, that in deep sleep, the phone eats too much. But it MUST be an app (wrong app in GApps or other) cause for AndyYan, it works great without installed apps, and my kernel performs very well with CM9/CM10, as I saw. But with CM10.1/10.2 they're also suffering because of the short battery life. So, dunno what is this should be, may I'll revert some stuff in my kernel, because somebody said that it only got worse with Tesco 3.1.2+...
[HTC Incredible S] RmatriX1218:
+1.

I would like to see you spend your quality time on core features of new android versions rather than spending time in resolving CM issues...

We need stable android version as base from you. I believe leaner will be better and more stable for our device and easier for future update.

For any other customization, there are xpossed framework and I trust capability of other developers in forum, who can also contribute...:good:
