Root Suspicious battery drain

[jmander]

Apologies is this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer after quite a bit of searching.

I recently rooted my HTC Desire, and am now running Cyanogenmod 7 with Go Launcher Ex. I've been noticing some nasty battery drain, so I installed the "Where's My Droid Power?" app. It's currently reporting that my status bar is using 24% of the battery.

Is this normal, and if not, can anyone recommend some ways to bring this down? The next highest are Where's My Droid Power (2.92%) and Go Launcher Ex (2.85%). The only visible apps running that are linked to the status bar are 3G Watchdog (using 0.56%), Quick Settings (0.23%) and Juice Defender (1.92%).

Moving your thread to the HTC Desire "All things Root" forum to help you get a response to your inquiry...

Thats a huge drain. Suggest a wipe and re-test. If still not fixed, maybe try another rom. The status bar on CM is quite complex.

Any battery drain issues I have I use Spare Parts from the market under partial wake usage, usually find most issues there.

As for the status bar, i couldn't say anything about that.

Thanks for the tips...I will give Spare Parts a try when I get home (just about to start my shift at work).

Also, does anyone know if about 2.7% battery usage is roughly average for most launchers?

I use go launcher and its usaully 2% something, yes

 

[Tyseyh]

How did you get "2.7%"

mines 2% for go launcher.

I might watch this thread as mine drained to 50% one morning while in pocket / screen off. I have setvsel set for battery savings. Found this quite odd, maybe a different issue to yours but it hasn't happened again since. Weird.
