I think the above is an excellent idea. Lets keep all questions about a development separate from the thread which .. well .. discusses it.
So, here is the question:
With the LeoMAR ROM, I received an OTA update. Since installing this update, I noticed that the phone switches off randomly, and has been draining battery at an incredible rate. The base ROM that I installed (1.4) a week ago did not have this issue.
Could someone please comment on whether this is a new issue on the OTA update, or if this is an issue that the OTA installation created? To be clear, this was not existing on the manually-installed ROM, but only with the OTA update provided by the ROM management program.
Subnote: no, I don't need help installing the rom or using it; just trying to figure out when the issue crept in, and whether I am the only user experiencing it.
hi i guess you have updated from 2.4 -- 2.5
leomar includes a script which wipes your phone on install , however i think the latest update doesnt wipe the battery stats .
what mods have you included in your build from the kitchen?
do you use bln at all? this can drin battery quicker
i am running 2.5 and it does seem to drain battery a bit quicker then 2.4 but not the sort of drain you are talking about .
leomar2.5 will be in the revoloution folder on your mas memory if you done a ota update , if you think the ota update has caused issues use cwm to install it manualy and then set it up again etc
hope you get it sorted but as i say i am not getting huge battery drain on this rom , i have disabled all bln settings though and even installed a kernel that doesnt support it as i found it drains battery .
I'm gonna say your using the angelom v21/2 kernel...check under about phone...this was known to cause the phone to heat up and reboot...with the revolution app, change the kernel to either ninphetamine or speedmod and see how you go

This seems to be the problem (went to speedmod, it's one I had used prior to reflashing my phone a few weeks back). I am intrigued though by the promise that ninphetamine offers, but just worried about some of the things I've read. Are there any issues at all with the ninphetamine mode (I use the stock email with exchange, if that is affected in any way).
Having this problem yesterday, My phone has a huge decline in battery consumption grapth after installing some mods on revolution apps through OTA. For example before updating my battery has over 30% then after completely updating it shows about 13%. Then it increase gradually. I don't know why my phone faces with such a problem.

Thanks all for the rapid responses. I decided to give Ninphetamine a go since I will be onsite all day, no biggy if I miss some mail as my workstation can get it.
Wow. Just... wow. I know you can't trust "just one day".. but so far am running 12.5hrs and only used 31%. That's about a 50-60% improvement over the previous kernel and I haven't even done any cycles yet.. Will give it a few days, but so far no sudden switchoffs, no weird crashes, and everythings running very smoothly.
If this is the 'real deal'.. omg!

Hello, im running villian rom 3.0.0 with ninphetamine 2.1.3 and xxk13. After updating from 2.4.2 my battery now drains rapidly. Usually when i got home it would be at 78-75 percent and not im at 50-59 percent. Any help would be great.. Thx

I believe VR is using a version of the email app which causes this drain. I'm not sure if Cognition uses an older version or newer but it works well.

Been running VR since - well forever. have toyed with other ROMS and keep coming back. The problem with VR is it is a basic ROM and if you want tweaks etc then you need to install them via VillainTweaks. Some people just cant seem to grasp that concept and as a result go for kitchen sink ROMS which have everything in them.
Give me minimalism any day of the week.
Its impossible to debug this guys issue since he hasnt provided any relevant information at all. Not even a basic screenshot of battery usage let alone better battery stats info.
For all we know it could be some widget etc he is running causing the problem.

And then all the smarties told him to switch roms, without so much as trying to really assist with the OP query, So he switches roms and he probably flashes the nimph 2.1.3 kernel again which has batttery regressions from samsung's source.
OP, flash the 2.0.5 kernel from nimph, it is what was included in the ROM. Then post some more information, BetterBatteryStats, search and read
Hi,
Does anyone have any kind of summary of the available kernel options for the SGS2?
I've been running mostly stock firmware, though
a) using the cf-root kernel (for titanium backup and wifi adhoc)
b) Updating via odin & using frankenstein firmware
For now I'm planning to stick with the stock rom as performance and battery life is good, as is software compatability - no messing, most things work.
Though I am intrigued by the other kernels that are floating around especially with respect to power saving. Compatability/currency is critical - other features are secondary. This includes gpu acceleration and the likes all working properly.
I mostly leave some sync active along with push apps so ridiculous standby, but only with all comms down isn't interesting. I don't have a power issue though as can get 12-17 hours usage on stock.
I like the idea of BLN but worry it's going to hit power too much due to wakeups. Just maybe it might be handy if it can be figured for infrequent notification
Are there a particular subset of kernels worth looking at? Trying to cut down the problem space for all of the kernels.
Someone mentioned "siyah" as a good one?
I'm on KI8 now, probably moving to KJ2. root is a given?
Or maybe I'm too conservative - are there current, close to stock roms that I'm silly in ignoring?

Not being funny mate but by the time you wait for someone to reply to you, you can actually take the time and search first in this forum to see if anyone else has answered your question....Loads of threads around to see which kernel is the best...Or even actually take the time to go into the Original dev section and read about each kernel that is available there....so next time before you open a thread please press the nice search button and read
anyway go for either 3 tops kernels ninp, speedmod or siyah..
The amount of info seemed overwhelming.
I ended up going with speedmod 2-12
Siyah was also on my shortlist

So for the past month or so, I have been noticing the Android OS bug on my i777. I tried many roms and kernels(Siyah and DD), but the battery usage was alway almost 10% per hour. My i777 is now flashed with Unnamed 2.2 + latest DDkernel, and the problem is remained. BetterBatteryStats show that "suspend" and "events/0" are big consumer of CPU power.
The bug is also described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290020
I don't remember that whether this bug came out in Unnamed 1.X rom.
How do I stop them from running and draining battery?
I have read and tried many ROMs and for me it appears that unnamed 1.3.2 was the answer. I am running that with Entropy's 12-08 kernel Andes is a winner for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I also switched back to UnNamed 1.3.2, after experiencing some funky issues with 2.2.1. I'm also running Siyah 2.6.9 and I get about 1-2% per hour drain while idle on an average day.
I'm sitting here with 1 hr screen on total and 12 hours off the charge and my phone is at 62%. Others get even better battery life with more aggressive tweaks. I'm not running anything fancy either, just stock 1.3.2 and Siyah 2.6.9 on conservative with SetCPU.
Im not even going to bother with this thread. Ill let the wolves have at it...

Thanks for your reply. I just didn't pay much attention to the battery life when I used UnNamed 1.3.2.
I will feel happy enough with that "I'm sitting here with 1 hr screen on total and 12 hours off the charge and my phone is at 62%." and "1-2% per hour drain while idle on an average day"
So, I think that I have to switch back to UnNamed 1.3.2 too.
There is no good experience with Siyah kernel and UnNamed 2.2.1 combination. It mainly results from Rom?

I have read many posts too. Kernel seems to be the main problem and changing kernel may be the only answer.
But, according to you and dmm5157, the ROM is the key of the bug.
I will try~
Many thanks~
I flashed my i777 with Unnamed 1.3.2 and Siyah 2.6.9 kernel. The battery life became much better, 5% per hour. But Kworker processes took most cpu. I read that it was because of kernel. So I change the kernel to Entropy's latest(02072012) and strange thing happened that Android OS bug came again.

Your post is mainly about how to find and analyze problem, but I think I have almost known where is the problem("suspend" and "events/0" process, just like here http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/s...ad]-android-os-bug-what-what-not-3428904.html) by the same way described in your post(BetterBatteryStats, CPUSpy, wakelocks...).

No, you don't know where the problem is. I saw your original post, recognized the symptom immediately, and immediately told you to follow the procedure to find the root cause. You didn't.
Why are you ignoring advice given to you NOW in favor of a post that is FOUR MONTHS OLD which is a copy-paste of an XDA thread from the I9100 General forums? (The original thread has been updated multiple times, as it originally had blatantly wrong information like the outdated version you linked to.)
Are we getting ICS?
1.3.2 has given me no battery life problems. Being bored now gives me problems.

Hi guys,
I have couple of questions about Resurrection v9.4 ROM but according to my limited access I can't post them on it's dev page.
First of all I should thank Westcrip for his fantasitc job ! even if its not 100% perfect but its good enough to stop you using other ROMs !
1. Battery Life : I had a better battery life on v9.3 but after updating to latest version the battery drains so quickly, I tried to decharge/recharge and even reset my batery stats but these didn't help either.
2. This is defo not a big problem but I can't install couple of apps like 'London Underground' which is defo compatible with ICS, it gives me error, sometimes complains about installing on SD and sometimes just fails without any specific reason.
3. There are some FC closes but I couldn't replicate all of them, but one of them happens everytime which is not important at all but maybe its better to mention for later bug fixing, everytime that I try to select infinite scroll from Nova Launcher its crashes and couple of times, even I had to remove battery to restart the phone but when OS comes up there is no problem with a functionlity and it works smooth and without any prob, it ONLY happens when you tick the box.
I am still playing with it and can't decide to stay with 9.4 or downgrade to 9.3.
Again I should thank Westcrip and whoever helps him to develope this remarkable ROM.
You're using a ROM based on a leaked, buggy, unofficial Samsung ROM and are having problems? No wai! It's good of you to list that detailed bug report though, maybe mail it off to Samsung for analysis? The battery part especially is very thorough.
I am not complaining about buggy custom ROM ! I know what is custom ROM and what should I expect from that ! I raised those issues based on last two versions comparison.

Battery stats does nothing for battery life .
Sone roms/kernels drain more battery stick with the one you get good battery life from upgrade does not always mean better .
2. This is defo not a big problem but I can't install couple of apps like 'London Underground' which is defo compatible with ICS, it gives me error, sometimes complains about installing on SD and sometimes just fails without any specific reason.

Maybe there are random and different problems but when you use one device with exactly same baselines and get new errors it means new changes made those new problems. There are over 750 pages of comments and questions under the resurrection ROM and developers actually use them to fix the bugs if you dont raise the problem just because its just based on a leaked / buggy / ... ROM then how on earth they can find the issues, if you dont want or can't help no one forced you to do so, there will be someone with answers.
You were right if you I would say hey this ROM is buggy or why this doesn't work ! This new build just released two days ago and I am trying to compare v9.3 and v9.4

Hello to all,
after having a stock i9300 for 11 months (I never kept stock for such a long period of time) I decide to install a custom rom.
After reading a lot I noticed that the most popular rom for the S3 i9300 is the omega so I followed that route.
I intalled the latest 4.1.2 version yesterday and today I was surprised to noticed that the battery lasted less than 14 hours.
I did a clean installation wiping cache/delvik etc.
This performance is horrible compared to stock.
I could easily make a whole day regardless of usage.
1. Are all roms as bad?
2. Will a possible change of the kernel provide a solution is so which one?
Other than that the rom looks great with some added features from the 4.2.2 which look great and fresh.
But I can not accept the phone not easily go through a day.
I also noticed some issues with Skype (not the latest version as this did not work well even on stock).
thank you
p.s. I could not post to the omega rom due to the fact I am new here......

You are being judgmental.
I spend several days reading the forum and educating myself.
I did read in the omega topic that some people experience battery problems.
Some of them reported that a different kernel provides better battery life.
I did not notice though that after flashing a rom you need several cycles for the battery to be calibrated.
Furthermore, in most roms I read about there are several people (not all) complaining about battery life.
This is why I asked if all custom roms increase performance while decreasing the battery life.

I Agree, its totally out of order to treat a noob in that way, but unfortunately some members think they actually own the site and therefore have a god given right to speak to new members like **** because they have more thanks on their profile, This complex they suffer from is extremely infectious and has a specific name, its called delusions of grandeur ! There is no known treatment or cure !
After several days I noticed that the battery life is a bit better but nowhere near to the previous performance.
How long does it take to re calibrate itself?

I also used Omega once but the battery life was just like yours.
Try doing the following:
1. Download greenify, understand how it works and greenify your apps.
2. Install startup manager, disable useless apps.
3. Disable wifi settings such as "notify me for new networks". Also, while in sleep mode, make sure the option is set to never.
4. Put auto brightness on.
5. Disable sync.
You can go ahead and install a different kernel. Googy or Devil or siyah would be a great choise.
All of these should improve your battery life.
Thank you for your reply.
Out of curiosity why does this rom consumes more power since it does not over clock the cpu?

They are many factors that affecting your battery life.Everyone have different angle viewing things. So depend on them what a good battery life mean to them. You can try other rom though. I'm using foxhound 2.5 with googy max kernel. It bring a good perfomance for me. And you can try to buy a 3200mah battery for your S3 with original size xD It can last more longer. And try the comment above it should improve the battery alot.
well I always try not to leave wifi on when not in use and do not run programs that use battery resources. I do never use mobile data and gps is always off. I did install greenify but there was really nothing running on the background.
Still I am under the impression that the stock rom provides signifficantly better battery life.
So my question is why? (Only out of curiosity).
