Hey all, I have had this rom since Sept. 7th, and I have tried 3 Kernels, the one that came stock with it, a chevyno1 1.1ghz ulowV 7slot, and a slayher 7 slot 1000mhz LV (v1.6) my current. I also have W'D for UD8 installed (awesome btw). For some reason, my battery life since this awesome rom has been installed has been AWFUL. By that, I charge it every evening when I go to bed, when I get up, I usually have notifications, and I will check my facebook, email and texts, about 10 minutes of actual use, and my battery will already be to 90%. I generally cant mess with my phone at work, but if I do, its no more than incoming emails, and maybe 10-15 texts, and reading some headlines in my RSS reader. Totalling at most 30 minutes.
By that point the battery is down to 60%. I have a desk dock at work, and without it, there is no way the phone would make it through the day on a charge. When I installed I also wiped Dalvik cache and battery stats, and have let it die to shut down 1 time so the system could gauge the battery. I upgraded to it from UD 7, but did a full wipe (of boot, system, cache, and data, 3 times each) I know thats a bit excessive but its the only way I save myself from issues. I keep my max setting in Set CPU @ 900mhz.
In advanced I have it set to 32500 for sampling rate, my up threshold at 70% and 0 for ignore and 0 for powersave bias. Its my understanding powersave bias limits max CPU speed. (redundant for the slider)
The phone never gets uncomfortably warm, as it has in the past with other roms, noticeable, but not scary. Anyway, my refreshes for weather/news are set to 4 hours, Gmail is 30 min, Facebook is 1 hour, and twitter is 1 hour. Signal is good where I work, I get full bars.
So, is it possible my battery is giving up the ghost after 6 months? Or is there a kernel that may be better for me, or is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks for suggestions.
