I think my battery is fried =[

[Jeenyus]

Today I charged my TB to 95%, went to church for about 1 hour. When I came home, it was down to 65% on standby. WTF on standby. I am on CM7-1.8 with imosen lean 4.0. It has never been this bad. I also checked the battery usage page in my settings, it only shows display and standby no apps. Do you have any suggestions

Did you calibrate your battery after changing kernels or roms?

Just did. I'll post the results soon. Seems to be discharing rather rapidly

So my battery goes from 95% to 38% on standby with 4G (I switched to 3G before screenshot) in about 2.5 hours.

Your idle current is too high. You should be screen off idling at 34-56mA; it seems that you're at 150mA currently.

So that explains why your battery is draining 3x as fast. You have a rogue process, bad signal, app running constantly, or the mystery drain ( I used to get this a lot of Froyo, for no reason my phone would start pulling a lot of current. It's fixed now but I don't know if it is due to me never using 4G now or running CM7, updated radio, and other ROMs)

I don't recommend the batteries from CHICHITEC they aren't authentic HTC batteries. I used them on my Incredible and they didn't last very long.
I thought they weren't very good. Just wasting money............

SOULUTION: sadly to say I've found the solution. It's he latest version of widgetlocker from the market that's draining my battery. After uninstalling it my battery life is great.

Cool, glad you were able to resolve the issue. But, it really gets me thinking about how many other problems may be caused by apps? I say that because I highly limit what apps are installed to reduce complexity (these things are already complex enough) and I've had no problem with the operation of this phone while running it completely stock with only about a dozen apps in total. This is very similar to my experience working in the IT field for almost 15 years now as I've seen many a problem caused by the installation of various software. That's why I'm convinced by and try to live the K.I.S.S. principle as it has proven VERY effective in reducing problems.
