I'm new to rooting, this Incredible is my first device I've rooted. Still, I didn't just spontaneously root, I tried to read up on everything beforehand and give myself a few weeks to weigh my options. Anyway, I've got a custom ROM running for a few days now, but ever since I rooted, by battery life took a drastic turn for the worse. I'm losing about 15-20% battery per hour, regardless of whether the screen is on or not. Meanwhile, my phone is taking about 6 hours or so to charge to full. Before rooting my battery lasted for practically the entire day, and charging was completely normal. I'm really not sure what I did to cause this, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any insight.
To be clear, I had an Incredible with OTA 2.2 before all this. In the process, I:
Immediately after this I noticed my battery was draining faster than normal. Everything is running smoothly, I have no issues with actual performance. Early this morning I tried to see if it was something with Cyanogen, so I wiped that and installed ShadowROM instead. Again, performance is perfect, but my battery life is horrendous. Looking though my battery usage statistics, nothing really stands out as being a problematic program. I did notice in battery history, though, that under 'other usage', 'Running' is reportedly 100% (additionally, 'Screen on' is only at 16.4%). Again, I'm not an expert on this, but it seems to me that something isn't letting my phone actually sleep.
So does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm afraid to backtrack too much in fear of seriously damaging my phone. I'm hoping that someone has encountered this problem before.
To be clear, I had an Incredible with OTA 2.2 before all this. In the process, I:
- Rooted using unrEVOked 3
- Then upgraded to unrEVOked forever, after learning I needed s-off
- Installed Clockwork Recovery (part of unrEVOked)
- Flashed new radio
- Flashed Cyanogen 6.0.2 using ROM Manager
