Extreme Battery Issue!!!

[blackalty6]

I was not able to find anything like this yet so figured Id post. Lately my battery is misbehaving. I can fully charge it to 100% make 20 min phone call and viola Im at 40% moments later it seems im at 4% WTF could be the culprit I wonder. I was running Garmins roms and now Laurentus and the same and I remember laurentus's being exceptional on battery. Could my battery have become defective? Regardless FUCK HTC I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER FOR THEIR TREACHERY :mad::mad::mad:

I have had the same problem with some WM6.1 ROMS.
If fact today, I flashed back to 6.0.
Never had a similar problem with 6.0.

check out my general forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410590

it seems that 6.1 drains batteries bad. i have come to found if you use kaisertweak and enable power management, it helps quite a bit. also, there is a hyperlink in my post that has another link that one guy claims his SIM card was causing a bad drain.

your drain issue though is a bit EXTREME. take your battery out and lay it down on a flat surface like your desk and run your fingers over it and look at it. if the battery isnt flat or relatively flat, your cells may be swollen from too much charging/draining and it could be time to replace it. ATT warranty replacement wil do it for u in the first year

I am using dutty's rom 6.1 and I dont have battery problem at all. have u checked apps running in back all the time? that s might be it.

Battery might be simply used/defective.

Battery is OK. Have spares.
Also check them and read through link posted by richabi.
Agree, it could be something running in background, but
use a Task Manager to shut down programs.
Could be a simple problem I am overlooking.
However, this morning, the Kaiser I flashed back to 6.0 last
night was fine.
Still have 6.1 on Tilt so I can compare them.

What Radio are you using? And which ROM?

Certain Radios are notorious for draining the battery quickly.

I am running the NIKI Radio 1.65.24.36 and that eliminated my excessive battery drain. I am also on L26 V9.

It is in my signature, HyperDragon IIIs Radio 1.58.25.17

[tkalli]

Now using Radio 1.71.09.01
Overnight battery drain is same as 1.27.12.17.
4%
See signature.
Will see how it goes during the day.

1.65.24.36 on Garmin v1.2 battery drain is about 2% each hour. and about 4-5% per hour when browsing internet or doing other activities.

Original att 6.0 rom with 1.2x radio battery drain is about 5% each hour, and about 15% each hour with internet browsing...

I couldn't figure out why there is such difference but it's good to compare.

My screen brightness is set to lowest setting (never really use it in the sun or outdoor when surfing the net)
