My battery saving tips (40-50h)

After many attempts, i have found the best combination of rom, radio, android, and phone settings so my hd2 t-mobile now can last 40-50 hours from single charge.
1. Energy rom without addons on home screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8640264&postcount=3
2. Mccm se V3.4 version for Android (with r8.5.1_eb kernel)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?
p=9241013&postcount=2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
3. Radio 2.12.50.02_2
4. Exceller Multiple Build Loader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737001
5. Set wm in airplane mode, and turn off auto sync, background data and location in android, brightness to minimum
6. Use wifi, gps, mobile data or bluetooth only when needed
7. Install SetCPU and use settings from tihs page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734886
8. Use widget taskkiller every time before locking the phone.
With this settings my phone can last around 50 hours with single charge, and i use it for sending messages, calling, browsing over wifi and occasionally playing angry birds.
This represents moderate use for me, and it is enough for my daily use, but if you want something more buy spare battery
Warning: I own hd2 t-mobile version, so this combination maybe doesn't work on your phone, or maybe it's not compatible with your hd2!
Please check radio and rom compatibility before flashing!

i believe you that your phone lasts more than 40 hours, but not everyone wants to disable auto sync, location and look onto such a beatiful huge screen which is almost dark
i prefer daily charge (lasts about 24h) with all the benefits which a smartphone has!
thx anyway for sharing your setup. it might help a lot of people.

Yes, but maybe someday you will find yourself on a desert island alone with your hd2, and my tips will surely be helpful to you

Looks like Battery Indicator, free version available on the Market.
PS: Do you have an extended battery? (since 8.5.1_eb is for extended batteries)

No, I use 1200mah battery, hd2 stock battery.
And yes, it's battery indicator app, but it came preinstalled in my version of android.

all things that make it a smartphone, are off.

Well guys use your phone as you want, no need to be sarcastic, maybe this will help to someone!
Maybe i would use data plan as well but it is just too expensive on my network, so i use my phone diferently than you

so... sorry to possibly hijack Your thread a bit my dear OP, but can You tell me my friends, how long can Your leo survive constant net usage? my standby drain is great, however when browsing with wifi or 3g, hd2 will live for about 4 - 5 hrs at most (well... let's call it a total net usage, as I've never had time to discharge it in one go... ).
is it more or less what You get? am I overreacting a bit??

My ROM and Android Version is not the newest and I did not look of the combination I installed, so I might have a rubbish setup. But atm. I can't get over the day with browsing, lessening music, data connection and a few calls and mails. Normally I run WM at daytime and after work I switch to Android.
Do you guys get over the day with a normal usage (like 16h), or do I expect to much??

I will try and let you know ;-)

well... if I use it lightly (some web browsing, quite a few calls and txts, some email, etc.) then it will even last two days (less than 1% batt usage per hour in standby), however if I'll use net heavily, gps, gaming then combined use will be only about 4 - 6 hours.
I am changing radio from 2.14 to 2.15 in about an hour to check if it's going to be any difference.
my setup is: stock wwe 1.66 rom, android rom is froyostone 3.2 sense with hastarin kernel 8.5.1 and letama's patches.
[EDIT]
to stay on topic - I have setup as above, auto brightness, data connections enabled manually when needed. with "dumb phone" usage (texting, calling, some notes, calculations, calendar use, etc.) plus some light browsing I had 50% of batt left after all day yesterday. (unplugged @7am, 50% @9pm)

i get on average 48-55 hours with out diableing background, wifi and gps on alll the time. syncs 8 diferent email accounts every hour + the gmail is pushed .
ie: i use it as a smart phone.
worst i got was about 35 hours, kids were playing angry birds non stop...

Using the latest DarkStone and Hastarin 8.5.1oldcam, having auto killing tasks that I don't use, and setCPU at 1.07 Ghz I can last all day.
My first run on Android with my HD2 battery was terrible. but the new Kernel, and using the EB autoboot made battery totally improve, but still worse than my Nexus One. I have sync, and GPS disabled, Email updates only every hour, Twitter every 2 hours. and mine usually has around 60% left after work at 6PM, and It's fully charged and gets unplugged at 9:30 every morning.. so 8 hours and it's almost halfway gone, but when I'm not at work it lasts longer, cuz at work I constantly loose 3G, and get it back and it's constantly switching. I try to set to 2G while at work if I don't need 3G.
I change it on the way home, and use it the rest of the night.. no worries for me.

How I more than Doubled my Battery life with a simple toggle.

Greetings,
Guys, first of all, I'm no pro, this worked for me, it may not work for you, and its not the 'solution' for people who wish to be connected to internet 24/7.
- I have no Dataplan, Vibrant would connect and eat through my balance on EDGE/GPRS.
- I downloaded an app from Google Market, "Quick Settings" (search for it)
- Run Quick Settings and Turn off Mobile Data. It should show "Disconnected"
Basically, I did this with intention to save my precious hard earned money but the side effect appears to be that my Battery life suddenly has gone insane.
Before when I did have GPRS on, I would regularly check Advanced Task killer and kill apps in attempt to stop apps from connecting.
My use has been more or less same, I'm not a Power user, just take it to office, use now and then, and the battery would finish up in ~9 hours, 10 tops.
Anyway, here is the result

You can do this by just holding power then pressing Data Network.. or simply going into WiFi settings and disabling the phone from being connected from the internet.
Of course if you're using the phone without it being connected to the internet, a lot of power isn't going to be consumed. It's a smartphone, supposed to use the internet on it.
A tip I would recommend is to use SuperPower and it can do a bunch of tweaks to improve your battery (screen off; disables data.. things like that).

i dont have a dataplan either, but i DO text, if i do that, will it just turn off all communications like text and phone calls? I only use web when im at home with my WIFI.

I'm just wondering, why did you get a smartphone with no data? I see that you're not even using wifi. Why not just get a Windows 6.1 phone or a Blackberry or something?

I do have access to WiFi, tho I use it more at home and other places, less during work.
I dont have a data plan because there is only EDGE/GPRS available on it, no 3G *yet*.
So when I do want to check on something, I simply turn it on for a minute or two, check on my mails or anything else etc and be done. Otherwise, what was happening was, I'd get connected even tho when I did not wanted it to connect. It was costing me for nothing. I can do other syncs etc at home or 100 other places that have wifi.
I did not get Windows 6.1 phone or Blackberry is because Android > them both. I assume you know that already. + Awesome screen is awesome.
As I said very clearly earlier and I shall repeat it for you, this may be useful for people who have same profile of usage patterns as myself.

Please tell me that 19 hours isn't the best you got.

also not going to receive texts and phone calls. but who needs either on a cell phone =P
As for disabling the internet, i just check the box in settings to not use data. under wireless settings or something. I don't pay for data because no 3g in my area also.

Why not just put the Power Control widget on your home screen somewhere? The button between GPS and Brightness toggles whether you allow apps to sync on the 'Net or not.
IOW if you turn that toggle off you won't get email unless you launch your email reader, you won't get anything from the 'Net unless you initiate it.
Me? I just installed Onyx from Team Whiskey and I can go 3 days without worrying about my battery life if I'm just doing limited usage of the phone.

Looking at his screenshot, it appears as though he's gone for 19 hours and still has around 50% battery left.

Ok im running axura 2.2 froyo rom and i routinely get 18-22 hours with everything turned on with the exception of gps.

I tried the power Control widget before, I kept getting the edge icon (E with up and down green/red arrows)
And offcourse, I do not doubt that custom roms would be the best solution

l2_hsic wakeups - finally getting rid of it

i posted this in the Note section since it had a big thread going about this wakeup annoyance called l2_hsic, but as i am using a S2 i should post this here as well (you may remove my posts there if you think 1 is enough, i have no permission to do that yet), its a wall of text so im just gonna quote it:
i too had alot of battery drain without actaully using the phone much, was reaching aorund 2 weeks on stock 4.0.3 but the performance wasnt all that, so i installed Supernexus & DorimanX (extreme_battery), great performance but the battery wasnt really what i expected, barely a week with low usage, tried lots of things while i searched a ton of topics about l2_hsic, using gsm-only with FD disabled, turned off play store notifications in the store itself and market updates in TB, WiFi is only on when needed, data usage is disabled, so is gps since i dont use it, baseband/ril is matching, and disabled stuff in TB/gemini/LBE which i dont use, battery got a tiny bit better but far from the 2 weeks i was reaching with stock (had alot of stuff/bloatware frozen though), i was even thinking about flashing stock again but that was gonna be the last option, performance on custom roms was far better
so it got me thinking, saw alot of l2_hsic wakeups with no appearant reason to why or what was triggering those while i had just under 1%/h drain with all that stuff off, then i remembered the last time i opened the play store before flashing Supernexus & dorimanx it didnt work, probably froze too much in TB but didnt want to get to the bottom of it since i was gonna flash a new rom & kernel anyway
so a couple days back i decided to freeze google play store/services and market feedback agent in TB and block them as wel in gemini (had a hunch they could be the culprit triggering all these wakeups since some autorun lines automatically re-enabled themself after turning them off in gemini, one even was called WAKE_UP lol), denied all access in LBE and then used the phone as i normally would (occasional WiFi, couple calls a day and thats it)
rebooted the phone a couple times the last couple days to test if it wasnt a 1-time-wonder but things stuck and im glad to say im now at 0.2%/h of battery drain in deep sleep, up to a max of 0.5%/h when in use, down from around 1%/h in deep sleep, so it will probably last a bit longer than the stock rom/kernel would have before, great success!
before i froze the store/services/agent i had around 1500 wake counts from l2_hsic on a couple of hours while the phone was in deep sleep, now im at a couple wake counts on almost a day while actually using the phone like i usually do
now, in case i need to go in the store i just have to enable the stuff again in TB/gemini/LBE, little effort imo for alot more battery life

notice the l2_hsic wakecounts are now 16 on a week, where i had a couple thousand during a few hours of deep sleep before i disabled the store/services/agent, this is the stock battery with Supernexus + DorimanX (extreme_battery) on 2G, wi-fi wasnt on this week, and i only make like a couple short calls a day, same as ive always done, yet the store woke my phone up so much i barely reached a week with a full battery before disabling it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TLDR: in a nutshell, after trying all possible solutions to get rid of the thousands of l2_hsic wakeups (in deep sleep that was), it was actually the google play store/services(/agent) that caused it, disabled it, and i have more than doubled my battery life
obviously most people use their phone alot more than me, i make a couple calls a day, rarely turn on wifi and thats it, someone using the store on a daily basis is probably not gonna disable it and reenable it over and over, just wanted to point out how much the store actually drains your phone without wifi/data in deep sleep on a 2G network

It's a pity that gmail/youtube wouldn't work at all after disabling google play services, google play store and market feedback agent.
The data/wifi signal that would usually turn blue stays grayed out. I'll be trying enabling just play services

Interesting, it would be good to see this bug fixed but Google apps remain connected, especially Gmail

and after a couple months the l2_hsic evil is back for no appearant reason, i hit up TB one day with half a battery and it couldnt find the pro key again, so i closed it and thought i'd ignore it, next day i turn the phone on again and my battey is near empty, wtf? enabled google play stuff again, updated my apps including TB, pro key problems solved, disabled the google play stuff again, no luck, l2_hsic is back in full force, disabled all the google apps, no luck again either, but i noticed umts_ipc0 was in there too with just under the amount of l_hsic wakeups, which has something to do with the usb, so i started looking further and it seems a fix for the l2_hsic wakeup bug has already been found, even though its on another device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41338478
only problem now is to have the kernel modders take a look in their kernel and see if that bug is present and if so, if they can fix it?

N910F, "Android OS" battery drain - can't determine the cause

This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts

Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?

I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...

Can't root Verizon unfortunately

Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.

Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.

Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

Finow X3+ Battery Life help

I got my new Finow X3+ watch this past week and although I'm really impressed with the look, speed and overall capability of the device, all of that means squat when it can't make it past 8 or 9 hours on a good day with very limited use (basically only checking the time and notifications with only BT tether and cell on, no WIFI).
Not sure if it was bad OTAs that I installed when I got it or what's going on but I think it has something to do with phone not sleeping..If anyone can give tips to save battery that you've found for unrooted x3+ please let me know.
Also does anyone know of a way to disable the pedometer hardware as I'm pretty sure that's the a big issue. Thanks guys

The cell network is the batt hogger. What do you expect from that tiny batt? Because Watch standby is perfect.

It's true, since turning off cell service I can usually get almost a full day (7am-10pm) just using it as a companion watch with m2d but it's disappointing not being able to use it the way I thought I could.
But how are you getting 3.5 days on one charge? I don't think mine goes into full deep sleep possibly because pedometer always logging info? Please let me know if you know how to disable the pedometer constantly running since I'd rather use it and the Heart monitor on an "as needed" basis. Any help is appreciated.

You have installed this update?

Yea I did...should I not have installed it?

I read that drains the battery, you've seen any change?

Yea I noticed bit more drain after that OTA but not overheating like some others. Gonna try factory reset like sonia said

I turned off GPS and WIFI and also ios notification which was big battery hog and it made big difference. How did you stop other sensors and pedometer though? I can't find those settings.

As ios turn off notifications?

Yea I turned off the ios push notification like you're showing in your pic, was taking about 10% battery in mine too. It didn't have any effect on notifications from phone to watch cause I don't use iPhone. Saved good amount in battery too.
So you know how I can disable pedometer if that's possible?

But as ios notifications is disabled?

I force closed ios notifications from the running apps list but for some reason it still takes some battery. Anyway I solved my issue: I did factory reset and then downloaded a phone booster app someone recommended on the Google group page.
Went from ~8-10 hours light use to about a day and half on one charge with moderate use. If anyone has battery life issues for seemingly no reason then try this. Thanks for your help mad.

What phone booster app?
