Reactivating my Rezound

[Murph5150]

Sadly, I am going to have to reactivate my Rezound because ever since I rooted my Nexus the battery life, with the extended battery, is crap. I get 5 hrs MAX w/o any usage. I have it dialed down to 700 megahertz (well below stock) and I'm still getting poor battery life. Maybe it's the ROM I'm running, I don't know. But I'm truly disappointed.

try returning to stock and see if that fixes your issues. at least then you will know if its the rom or your device/battery. like trunks im getting 8-15 hours (location and usage dependent).
I am unlocked, rooted , Overclocked, and stock .

Same as above return to Stock if rooting messed up your battery life.

Sounds like a hardware issue. I can get 13 on the standard battery with little usage. Or get a new battery...

Try switching to either a new rom or a different kernel. Franco's kernel is very solid with AOKP. I am using the 2100mah extended battery and get a solid 12-15 hours, with wifi and 4g. And I use the crap out of my phone.

That can't be right. I'm running CNA at the moment, which is at least "similar" to CM10, and the last time I avoided charging I got ~ 15hrs on stock battery, 1.5Ghz, no undervolting, and moderate usage (streamed Pandora ~ 9hours via wifi). Did you buy an "Ebay" extended battery? From what I've read plenty of them only work well for a rather short period of time. I bought a cheap one off Ebay myself and it performed well the few times I've busted it out for camping trips. I wouldn't expect too much from it as a dailly driver though.

I have the 2100 mah Verizon extended battery. I really don't know what the issue is. What ROM do you all suggest switching to?

PS: I'm already running Franco Kernel.

There's a lot that can be the culprit. It is rarely the ROM though (not that it doesn't happen).

More often apps you have installed and/or being in a weak signal area, especially with 4G enabled. I'd install something like BadassBattery Monitor (my preferred). Charge it up to full before you go to bed and reboot it (to clear out random crap). Let it sit off the charger overnight on your home wifi only. It ought to drain in the range of 1-2% an hour for the night. In the morning if it's been draining more open BadassBattery and check the various wakelock stats to see what's been keeping it awake and eating your battery up.
