hello,
i have some problems with my battery life!! i have just bought the raphael.
i just want to know what helps to improve battry life.
-different rom
-different radio
what do you recomend!!!
thanks
U should prob READ the tread.....
However the battery life is affected by the RADIO..
Also make sure that ur internet connection is not on ALL the time
some applications are making the battery draining also. s2u2 is considered as battery sucker cos' of some yet not known bug. some other apps using G and light sensors. cooked roms can drain battery as well.
so it depends on many issues. you just have to flash and test then flash and test and then again. Finally you find the solution which suits you best.
We're all looking for it. Trying to make our Raphs perfect.

Which ROMs are the best and which ROMs are the worst when it comes to battery consumption. Has anyone done any sort of testing / comparison?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this as well... I'm running Juggalo's rom which I love but my battery life sux... data off, texting very little and making just a couple of short phone calls and backlight is low and I still have to charge the phone 4x a day...
The most battery efficient ROMs from my experience have been the 21109 build OS ROMs...
I'd like to see what other's have experienced so far...
If you guys can tell me what software to use for battery consumption benchmarking i'll go ahead and help everyone out....
so far it looks like people are going for looks vs performance... sad
I have flashed over 5 roms now and the biggest problem i'm seeing is that the battery drains really fast on the wm 6.5 roms. I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this problem or a way that can help reduce this problem?? Thank you!
I think battery drain is relative to user's opinion. Some might say 2 days of battery life is not enough, and some other might say one full day battery life is normal.
There are many ways to minimize battery consumption. Minimal battery consumption means longer battery life. You may try WMLongLife (adds little bit more battery life, in my device). There's also a thread about battery life tips floating in this forum. I forgot who wrote it. It's a very well-written thread. You may search for it.
Hi guys,
I've used a few roms including TAEL, ENERGY and I am now looking for a rom that is best for battery life.
I'll be travelling in Japan and I don't want to charge it every day.
Hopefully there is a stripped down rom with just the basics available.
If anybody has some suggestions that would be great.
Thanks
I don't think that wether a stripped rom or not makes a difference on battery life, the radio/rilphone combo depending on rom and network, will make the most difference, 'cause you can have a naked rom and still have more drainage of the battery if you don't close apps when you're done with them.
I'm using Energy Phoenix2 and I get about 2 days of usage on it. I would suggest to get ArkSwitch or something similar to monitor your apps and close them as needed .
Best battery life
According my experience best in battery life ROM was from Monx - I have used several others as TAEL, Energy, Capitain's...
I've had the best luck with NATF's roms both on the 6.1 & 6.5 builds. main thing is to remember to cycle the battery once you install a new rom (let the battery die out, then charge it while off over night) I've seen on ebay you can purchase extra batteries and a battery charger for under $30 that may be worth looking into.
Have fun in Japan
I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II phone, and it is absolutely brilliant. Speeds are excellent - no lag. Screen is absolutely AMAZING. Camera is the best I've ever touched.
BUT, the thing that bugs me is the battery life. One of the selling points of the Galaxy S II to me was the "Amazing Battery Life" which has been praised. I have only owned this phone for two days (charged only one and a half times), but I have not seen this "excellent" battery life AT ALL.
Any tips or suggestions? I have read that the battery in this device "improves" after some time (a few charge cycles). Is this true?
Thank you
hey congratulations on your new samsung. I got mine when it first came out and had the same problems with batteries. My best suggestion is to familiarize yourself with custom roms and learn everything you need to know about flashing and rooting, and when you're ready look into installing a custom rom. Cognition v1.5.1 is a really good choice because of the fact that it removes a lot of the bloatware that automatically runs when you turn the phone on (which drains the battery quite a bit). Also some other ways of dealing with the battery life is to reduce the brightness as much as you can handle (the highest setting of brightness on any phone is never a good idea for battery life).
if you search around these forums you will probably find better help from people who know more about this stuff than me. However, as someone who went from never touching android in my life to learning it all with this phone I can say your best bet is to learn how to flash and mess around with the firmware. That coupled with basic battery tips will help a lot.
also one final thought. If you download battery calibrator from the market, charge your phone to 100% then take the plug out and run it, let it drain down to 0% then start the charge over that is the quickest way to fix the battery issues. (this would only need to be done once, or every time you flash a new firmware if you choose to pursue that).
hope I helped!
I'm currently running Liquid Smooth 3.0 and losing battery life considerably. If I flashed the latest radios... could this be the reason I'm losing battery life so quickly?
Wow where to start, depending on your phone settings after you flashed your new ROM could be a direct drain I won't get into that since i don't run your Rom on my phone, could be kernel settings again don't know the kernel used or settings on kernel. They made a thread that reads like a book on battery drain so needless to say there are many factors. Suggest you hit up liquid users in the Rom thread and ask direct questions about settings. Signal strength can play a pretty big factor in battery drain, I get about -84 at my house and it drains at normalish rate but at work I get -100 and get about 4 hours less battery. Always remember every phone is different what works great for mine may drain yours.

Try using SystemPanel by NextApp
It's worth the money cause you want to use the paid version that allows you track your history.... don't forget to turn it off after you find your battery hogger cause the tracking itself is a battery eater.
