I was looking for peoples opinions on which roms seem to have the best battery life.

I think all of them are about the same. xtrSense is nice if you want the stock feel but without the bugs or lag.
The froyo Roms get good battery life with theright apps and settings. If you go froyo o suggest getting toggle2g as it greatly helps my battery life.

If battery is such a big issue, just buy a Seidio 3500 mAh battery and you'll never worry about what apps and ROMs to use
KaosFroyo with CFSv5, Toggle2G, and the Collin_ph battery tweak. Getting 24+ hours.
Thanks for everyones input

Ok, downloaded toggle2g. Not sure of network settings for verizon. I have it set to switch at 50% but it didn't seem to do so.?

A while back when the Vibrant was solely on 2.1, I was running on Bionix Fusion v1.0 along with the JI2 modem. With that combination, I was getting some pretty amazing battery life on the order of 65% remaining after two and a half days of light usage. Now, after upgrading to 2.2 (on Obsidian), my battery life has significantly dropped—just idling over night, the battery loses about 15% of its charge.
Is there any way to regain that awesome battery life or is this just a side effect of having the latest and greatest?
All 2.2 roms are known for excessive battery drain
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Just out of curiosity—will that always be the case or will things start to change as people adopt the new official 2.2 as a base for their ROMs?
Its because the speed boost in froyo, but there are plenty of tips on how to save battery

Not really.
I am using bionix v and people are reporting 20+ hours of battery life using the battery left widget.. and when using my battety left widget (nearly fully calibrated) it tells me I have 9 hours left.. what's the deal? Is this a battery issue, and could I need a replacement. I have had battery issues with nearly all of my roms in the past. I guess it could be a conditioning issue. Please help

Something is probably running in your background. Download watch dog task manager and see wwhat is running on your backgrounnd.

It says that there is nothing wrong. What are the normal voltages of my battery, like what should they be?

I just flashed mine on Sunday and charged it overnight. I ended up getting just under 42 hours of life out of it without doing to battery recondition.

Not possible by someone who actually uses there phone. I never thought I was a heavy user but seeing replies like above I have to be past the definition of heavy user. With my extended battery I could get 2.5 days on a single charge.
Im also having battery drain with bionix newest rom. Nothings changed in my day-day usage. probably flash another modem or something.
I think I might switch to stock froyo if things don't get better. Or just order a new battery. Because it just drops like a rock. And im using watchdog but it doesn't really help that much. Or could someone with experience with battery drain guide me on how to stop it from happening?

Something tells me you have a bad battery if you've always had battery issues. Did you get your phone from T-Mobile? If so call them and tell them your battery is bad--they should send you a new one for free.

I flashed on saturday and started having issues with the battery on monday. On tuesday my battery drained in less than 5 HOURS! I reconditioned the battery and added juice defender @ 5 this morning. I just plugged in my charger about 20 minutes ago. Went down to 5%.

Yes I got it from t-mobile but I have not used stock long enough to see whether it was just a rom issue. I have only flashed team whiskeys roms and they seem to kill my battery. Nero v3 was the best but still wasn't great. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and maybe use the phone to get on xda, engadget, facebook, etc for about 1 hour, But my battery drops like a rock when I do this. And ever since bionix v it has only gotten worse. From that one hr of usage it drops 40 percent. Is hsdpa that big of a battery-killer? Because on wifi it seems to do a little better. Idk if this is just a network issue or what? Like right now it dropped 2 percent just from typing this up. brightness is less than half and everything is set to manually refresh. Wth?

Everything else seems to be fine. The consistency of the battery is weird..

Had terrible battery life as well with bionix v. Double checked to see if anything was running in the background and reconditioned my battery. Even then I was still getting atrocious battery life. Oh well I ended up switching back to axura which imo offers great performance and battery life. Not saying TW roms are bad (nero v3 was amazing) give Masters axura a shot if you haven't.

Does axura come with titanium backup or does it not wipe your data? I would like to keep my settings and apps if I do end up switching

My battery life isn't that great. I am going to turn off lagfix and see if there is any improvements.
I don't think lag fix had anything to do with battery that much, all it sites is change the filesystem right? And with bionix v I got over 24hrs battery

Well I think I finally conditioned correctly, and watchdog is notifying me about programs that are using lots of of cpu. So I'll see how today goes. 9:00 AM right now. Let's see how long it takes to die
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Seems to be dying much faster in standby mode
Edit: nevermind it seems to be doing well enough for the time being. Talked on the phone for 1 hour, texted, and went on xda and engadget. It is at 70%. On standby mode it ia doing loads better after reconditioning. Does losing 30% to doing stuff like that sound about right? Battery left says I have 7 hours 58 min remaining

What is the best ROM in terms of battery performance? I'm running Bionix with Overstovk and battery isn't that great. I'm actually considering going back to stock 2.2 if it offers the best battery performance. Thanks!

Been asked many times. Did you recondition your battery? Your phone will vary on different roms. I would try a couple of the more popular ones and see.
You can also change it by modem and or kernel choices no matter what rom you choose...its all different for every one

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I would check out the ROM called Toxic Heroes Presents Toxic FF SMoke. I have been using this rom for a few days and i can attest to the battery life. I got got 17 hours with heavy to moderate usage throughout the day and still had 50 percent battery life left. I have also had bionix and atriarc and both of them had gopod battery life. Also alot of depends on ur modem, kernel combo. For example i use the KB1 modem and right now have overstock 2.2 and getting great batt life.
Also i have used KB1 modem with supercurios stock KB1 kernel with voodoo on bionix v 1.3.1 and also had great battery life with it as well. Also depends on where you live as well hope this helps a little
If your jumping from edge to 3g alot that'll drain. Your battery. If you leave wifi on all the time and are going in and out of buildings or places in general that have wifi its constantly scanning and trying to connect. Hell, when im driving down the road mines trying to connect to houses that have it. The radio is a big thing though. (Or so I've read all over the forumns)

If she doesn't really care about performance then you can just under clock her phone on ICS Passion and it will definitely save you some juice.
LIke they said^.Heres the app to clock your phone. Just download this and underclock for longer battery life.

Buy a new battery. The Anker 1800mAh is highly recommended.
If you want to spend a little more i suggest you get the http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330604736&sr=8-2-spell seido innocel 3000 mah battery. it also comes with the replacement back cover.
hmm, I'm not so sure about the bulk on the back of the phone with the battery you suggested there.
I'm curious about ROM option, too.

hey guys simple question, I flashed eclipse ROM v2.1 and I love it so far except one thing, the battery life sux, I mean when I was stock 2.3.4 rooted I froze a bunch of apps and my battery life was pretty impressive. So I can only relate this to that eclipse is performance based and needs a little more battery? So basically is their a method to getting more battery life or am I stuck.

Have you added any modifications since you flashed Eclipse? Have you added a significant amount of widgets or apps that run in the background? How has your brightness level and usage of device been (more or less than before?)
A majority of the people (myself included) feel that eclipse is great on battery. I use my phone constantly with the brightness on full and the second core script and the battery life is totally fine.

Did you calibrate battery? Also battery life for what, stand-by or usage? Stand-by I can get 2 says easily with just texting and calls. A normal usage, maybe 5 - 6 hours and I can even kill it in less then an hour If need be.

My battery life was a little less with Eclipse than on stock, too. CM7 batter life is even worse but still very acceptable. On stock I would easily get 2 days and some change. With Eclipse I'd get a little over a day, and CM7 a little less. What makes me wonder if being on a better ROM makes us use our phones more because it works so much better vs. stock. I can't stand my phone on stock so I usually don't mess with it.
No my friend everything has been pretty much left alone. I use the performance monitor for shutting down background apps, and have even froze the social media apps(twitter, fb,Skype). Huh

Give the calibration a try and see if there was a mismatch between readings. Maybe something is running harder than usual.

I would be more apt to say the drain was the norm high drain that the first couple days after flashing any ROM sees, yhe "recal" just wipes the stats of the battery doesn't change the amount of power you have or use
from my X2 roaming the north
Yea ur probably right about the high drain after flash because it seems the longer I'm on this ROM the better the battery is performing
