Battery life after root is terrible?!

[Karlos G]

I rooted my Mini 2 days ago using the Universal root (Xploid) and my battery now lasts only 21hours on STANDBY with no calls, sms, data, gps, or wifi, and 9 out of those 21 hours was in Airplane mode as I was asleep!
Anyone else had this and found a solution?

Here is a screen shot of my battery usage..

I would normally get at least 2 days of normal usage, and probably 4 if I didnt use it hardly at all.

Cheers!

Have you turned your phone off since you rooted?

I noticed on mine that one of the tools used during the rooting process continued running on the phone afterwards and was using most of the CPU time, thus draining the battery (but it doesn't show up in the "Why is my battery dead" screen, as it's a linux process rather than an Android app)

Try turning it off and on again!

I have restarted but not actually powered down und up again, I would of thought this would be the same, but i'll try it!

Thanks!

Same situation for me. I rooted X10 mini Pro and battery works only one day without any calls and few SMS. I turn off the phone, try to change battery but still is battery life so bad.

But in my opinion battery is drain normal to the from 100% to 50% and that s least 18 Hours. From 50% to 1% least 3 Hours...

Again, I come from the hero so do not know what options you get on your recovery image...

But in there, if you do have this, let you battery get to around 5%, and wipe the battery stats, reboot, charge until full, turn off, charge until full, turn on, charge until full. This should help give you a nice full cycle. Worked for me anyways.

I had the same issues on my hero when I rooted, and have been browsing teh x10 forums as I am thinking about getting one for my fianceé.

I noticed the battery life after rooting is very bad also. Much worse the the MyTouch Slide. I'm was running ADWLauncher beacsue I don't care for the Stock Sony one. trying out Helix now to see if it is any better. This sucks because before I bought the phone I read about how good the battery is. Can rooting really make the battery drain faster?

no recovery image on X10 mini
no wipe battery stats option because of that
but thanks for your help anyway

Same as mine, after rooted, my phone drains battery too much, 3% in 1 hour.

I figured out that you should reboot your phone to bring it back to normal. I have reboot my phone and now it drains less battery, just 3% in 8 hour when the phone stand by.

Give it a try guys.

What do you mean, reboot? I've rebooted many times, I've even tried different batteries and still the same problem. Do you mean un-root? If so, how do you do that?

 

[Karlos G]

Mine seems to be ok after turning off and on again.
How did you try different batteries?? Or are you a Pro?

 

[SiL3nTKiLL]

what do u have running in the background?

 

[emwgee]

I noticed the diagnostic process runs constantly and takes up much of the CPU power after I rooted my X10 mini, and that seems to be the major cause for draining the battery.

I wonder if anybody else here has the same experience?

Hey try using Juice Defender .. it works like charm for me !!
Bravo Juice !!

 

[Tommylee567]

Never thought that rooting will drain the battery!
going back to stock rom? (never)

I find switching off usb debugging gives a bit of a boost, if I need it then I switch it back on but 99% of the time its not.

I do not understand the problems of Android battery truth is that they are problematic.

I configured to use the savings SetCPU

 

[devilakos]

Set cpu is not the sollution.....x10 mini has a weak cpu(its not verry weak but its not good)and if put its 600mhz down to 400 it starts lagging and down 400 it has parkinson.................follow my instructions( in my previous reply) and u will have better batery plz i want everybody solve their battery problem.......

The fix suggested by devilakos is (imho) needed on stock rom also when recovery is installed. I applied it to both my stock roms (see sig) and has a positive effect on battery life.
The problem is in the chargemon/charger configuration, independent of build.
