I was thinking of rooting my phone and installing bionix fusion after getting sick of dealing with the battery problems. However, I am concerned about two main things and I haven't seen the exact same thing asked, maybe because they are obvious though =
I read about passwords being stored in cleartext if it's rooted from androidcentral a while ago. I only really use gmail for e-mail, is this a nonissue for me then?
Does the fusion rom overclock the processor by default? I'd rather leave the processor at default speed.
you can dl fusion without overclock. or with overclock and just install set cpu and scale down to 1ghz
Great battery life is not just a matter of the rom you are using. You can be running the most battery friendly rom on the planet but if you are a heavy user, have twitter, facebook, email updates running all the time, and/or heaven forbid playing Angry Birds for hours at a time, you can kill the battery in a few hours.
This screenshot was taken tonight when I got down to 15% battery life. I use gmail, touchdown, handscent, and make phone calls.

Just out of curiosity hour foist you get your dislpay count so low
Times never wasted when your getting waisted
for me, I'm loosing my battery from...doing nothing! It's annoying the crap out of me. I've been obsessively closing apps with the task manager and services as well with mixed results. Most of the time I'm still loosing 4-5% per hour when the phone is idling. So, yes, switching should help me.
Anyone know about the security issue from the first post?
A factory reset might help just as much as another rom. You might also have a bad battery. If your phone is actually doing nothing, then its doing something that you dont know about. I was certainly doing much better than 5% per hour while it was idle.

Thanks! exactly what I wanted to know.
It depends on what is draining your battery. Lately my battery life is hit and miss. Sometimes I am getting 40hrs a charge and sometimes I am getting 25hrs a charge.
For me most of my battery is getting drained on Cell Standby. The past 2 days i have been getting 3-4% battery drain on standby.
I have Fusion 1.1. GREAT rom, but there is something happening to my cell radio. Fusion has JI2 modem installed. I tried flashing the JI6 and battery life varied from 2-3 of 3-4% battery drain. I just flashed back the JI2 modem end of last week. And i have been getting 2-3, 3-4 or 4-5% drain. Right now pinning it down is pretty frustrating. But I will find out the best combo for my phone eventually.

I went to bed with the thing charged to 100%, wake up 8hrs later, not having used it once and its at 50%... okay, whatever, I guess it was about 8 hours...
So I charge it to 80% then go work-out for about maybe 2 hours and when I'm done the SOB is at 40%- I DIDN'T TOUCH IT THE WHOLE TIME! I DON'T THINK IT EVEN CHARGES THAT FAST! I don't care if it was searching for signal the whole time, which it shouldn't have, WTF?!
Other anecdotal stories: I'm fanatical about battery life and always charge it full before going out for the night or something and I'm usually lucky to make it to bar close, a total time span of MAYBE 5 hours. How is this even possible?! The damn thing is supposed to have a 10 hour talk time?! Even if I was on the phone the whole time (which not even close, just txting and using it when you're awkwardly alone while your friend goes to the bathroom)- WTF!?
I'm extremely vigilant about charging and monitoring battery life and despite my best efforts I get burned constantly. I even have this thing on airplane mode at work (in a basement) cause it will be dead by the end of my shift.
Any one use a rom that gives a noticeable increase in battery life? Doesn't seem like many of them are mature enough. Juice defender doesn't seem to help much... do I have any decent options? I may start carrying around a second battery but seriously, that's a bit silly.
/venting.
you have a bad battery, just call up Motorola and see if your still under warranty, if so, have them send you one, that's what i did and i've noticed a substantial increase in battery life
Hey man, did you calibrate your battery when flashing roms? Battery will die faster when dont calibrate. Currently which rom are you on. also check some programs that might run in the background. Right now, im getting about 17 hours, but i am over clocked and under volting this bad boy. I posted my battery life prior to running jokers ROM. Check it out.

I think I have some issues with my battery as well. It discharges fast! I usually have it full all the time but the times where I have left it discharge cause I'm lazy I wonder how everyone post pics with 13+ hrs when I feel like my won't get even 10. Btw, my battery has been in water for a brief moment idk if that affects it somehow?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
In my experience, bad battery life is usually related to some apps or settings wrecking havoc in the background. Unless you happen to have a phone with LTE and a smaller battery of course.
I always get an average of 30 to 40 hours on one charge with moderate use on my Photon, stock rooted...
For me, live wallpapers demolished my battery life. Also, I completely formatted sd internal before flashing joker skinny.
No rom here, just rooted- lime green theme. I didnt calibrate but for a theme i shouldn't need to? Ill look into getting a battery from moto, no reason i shouldn't be covered.... Aside from rooting that is. Also wouldnt phantom app drain show in the pics posted?

hey
i want to have a better battery life and i dont know how to improve it..
can u tell me what rom and kernel has best battery life for my galaxy s2?
right now im on wanamlite la4 final and siyah kernel and from 8:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon its got 10% down is it normal? good? bad?
what is best kernel for battery life? (i dont use vcontrol)
what is the best rom for battery life?
im not gonna buy an extended battery..
thanks
so you drained your phone in couple hours, the question here would be
what were you running cause even if you get the best rom/kernel with the amount of apps or usage you can kill your battery in the same amount of time
i suggest you first find out whats drainning your current setup with betterbatterystats
and if you have wifi/3g and stuff like that on, also the brightness levels, if you have any special app that might be waking up your phone
There's no such thing as the best rom or kernel for battery life because there's too many variables that determine how long you get out of a charge. It depends on your phone setup (what apps you have installed), how you use your phone, as well as the rom & kernel.
Because of these factors, you won't see the same battery life with the rom/kernel combo I use.
You can install BetterBatteryStats (search for the thread on here) and use it to see if there are wakelocks causing your battery to drain when you're not using the phone much, for example.
Whether 10% battery loss in 6 hrs is good or bad again is impossible to answer because of the above factors. On the subject of extended batteries, I do recommend the original Samsung 2000mAh battery, what's not to love about 20% more juice & the phone only a few mm thicker ? (the phone fits in my original case with battery cover removed).

thats my battery usage... nothing has been used
is there a different battery life for modems? or its like kernel and rom like u guys said?
when i will come back home i'll upload another picture with this "betterbatterystats"
thank u all for help!
If you get BetterBatteryStats, let the phone run for a couple hrs (at least) after you install it (overnight, or whenever you think the phone is draining too much when it maybe shouldn't be, like that 8am-2pm period you mentioned in your OP). Don't post anything 10 minutes after you've installed BBS. You need a couple hours data minimum to get an accurate idea of what's happening.

The battery drain during usage is within the normal, but in standby it is too high, which I do not understand!

Using the battery app see what app or service is keeping your phone awake. That would be my guess as to what the problem is. I would also suggest flashing cpalmers kernel as well, which has been really good for me in limiting awake time.

Install BatteryGuru, give it a couple days to learn how you use your phone, and watch how it saves your battery once the learning period is done. I swear by this app, it brought me from almost a day to about a day and a half as far as battery life is concerned.
I installed the Gsam battery, it shows that "phone radio" was sucking down a vast majority of the battery.

Then you must be in an area where service isn't good and your phone is searching for service which kills the battery quickly. To conserve battery turn on air plan mode and then turn service on when you get into a zone with better coverage. This will help your battery a lot.

My opinion..don't install any more apps than what you only use. You install more apps it will obviously suck more battery. What you do. Root/unlocked the bootloader and install a sense 5 4.1.2 base Rom. I came from stock and since I've installed a sense 5 stock Rom I've notice a big battery saver comparing from the original sense 4+ stock.hopefully that helps.
Thanks all
Strangely none of this helped the battery drain is too high in standby, after resting (no apps installed only stoke apps) and even flashing sense 5 rom still 15% per hour and even in Air plan mode . The strange thing during the use of the phone the drain is normal.
Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.

Same thing here after updating. Android OS is currently at the top with 10% followed by Android System with 9% in my phone at the moment. System is draining more than the screen. Weird.
Same here. On DP5 battery life was better for me.
same for me, system and Android on top, weird.
What's the reported "Keep Awake" time for those processes? Right now, for me, is Screen on top with 10%, Android System and Android OS next with 8% each. However, the keep awake time is only 3m41s and 11s respectively. That doesn't look too bad, actually.
The OS requires almost a week to settle. Calm your tits.

I installed it last night and so far today I'm at 3% per hour after 9hr25min elapsed. This only has an hour of screen time but that includes about 20 HDR photos (which in MM would have KILLED my battery), BT and WiFi are both on continuously but not connected, GPS is on high accuracy, screen timeout at 1 min, several reboots cycles (trying to figure out how to wipe the cache), etc. In other words, I'm on track for a 30+ hour day, and I'm not doing one thing to try to conserve the battery. Granted there's not much SoT so far but still, I'm impressed. Even more so because tribal knowledge seems to think that the OS needs a few days to "settle down" before true battery life can be assessed. I'm not sure I really buy into that but if it is true, the battery endurance should be stunning...
Have been getting the same results in the Beta and now with final release having the same problem./ Battery life is no good. And doze doesn't seem to kick in even at night. Android os and Android System taking as much mah as the screen. Not good.

Here's what mine's doing so far. Note that it seems to Doze more or less the instant the screen shuts off.
Same issue here, battery life isn't super impressive.
These don't have much meaning without context: How are you using them? How much SoT? Are all the radios on? Etc...
Did factory reset. See if it helps. I'll post after it, "settles in"
Doze seems to kick in, but I don't know whether made it more or less aggressive than before (I'm guessing less), where battery gains are now, and how they're spread out. On MM, I was getting the typical 2-3% drop every night. For the past three nights with N, the drop is 5-6%.
Received the device a few hours ago and updated to N.
All default settings, no additional app.
No 3G/lte as I don't have yet a nano sim.
Bt is on but not connected.
Positioning is on battery saving.
Screen brightness is at 33%.
After 40mn of web surfing with wifi, or playing with the menus I lost 6%.
I'm happy with that :good:

Quick question how did you update so quickly if you just got it?
My second cycle but this time with Ninja Kernel and some kernel tweaks. With sync and location enabled the whole time. Lots of web browsing, video streaming, plus a few minutes of gaming and phone calls. It's not spectacular but not too terrible for me either.
Mine isn't bad. Updated from DP5 using OTA in TWRP.
Unencrypted, rooted, with EX kernel and some CPU profile.
