Villian Rom 3.0.0 Battery Drain! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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!

[POLL] Are you experiencing better battery life with 2.3.5 ? vote !

Hi everybody !
Let's make a poll about the huge question of the moment :
Are you really experiencing better battery life in Gingerbread 2.3.5 over 2.3.4
Please vote above !
And please try to report only after doing a properly battery calibration and at least 2 intensive days (or normal) using !
Yes, I clearly see a difference !
With the stock rooted KI3 (CF-Root), that's important because with any other kernel i have worse battery life than kh3
I always have a intensive use of the phone, and in last 2 days after i flashed the KI3 (keeping the stock kernel) i play double time, same phone calls time, same number of sms sent and i finish my day with still a bit of battery left.
On KH3 i had to plug my phone charging during the daytime.
Totally different opinion comparing to th guy above me. KI3 for me is not better then KH3 which I used before
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Definitely better than any before.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Night and day difference for me. Instead of having only 25%-30% left at the end of the day I have 40% and above now... that's after about 22 hours off the charger.

I think exactly the same actually, but I prefer to not vote on my own poll right now because I just migrated on 2.3.5 since yesterday only, but at first impression I was more pleased on KH3 (2.3.4), or maybe it's same for me. Waiting to test few days more to really put any judgement.
Still waiting for a nice AOSP theme for it before i switch i think

Hi Intratech.
Would be very interesting if you could share how your phone is configured (3G, Background Data, Auto Sync etc), which kernel you use, tweakings and so on.
Thanks.

Exactly. With KH3 (which was significantly worse than KF2), I would barely have any juice at the end of the day (ran out a few times in fact). KI3, I easily still have 40%+... there is a HUGE difference.
Thank you Samsung!
why i have worse battery life? I have the 2.3.5 from samfirmware.

I'm using the Frankenstein build. My emails are set to sync every hour, Gmail gets pushed to the device. SNS stuff is set to sync every 3 hours as I manually check stuff inbetween and it gets updated anyway. Data connection always on, background data is allowed. I'm using the stock kernel. The scheduler is set to on demand. No task killer is used.
I haven't actually had the time to do any tweaks to his firmware to make it my own setup as yet so it's pretty much vanilla apart from the stuff that's been frozen: Games and Music hubs, AccuWeather ( I use Beautiful Widgets instead), AP Mobile, Buddies now, days, Digital Clock, Dual clock, WiFi sharing and WiFi sharing manager and Yahoo finance.

Well, apart from the kernel (I'm using Ninphetamine 2.0.5), the rest is almost the same, with the exception of Bluetooth and WiFi Sharing (all freezed), and several Samsung addons uninstalled (music/reader hub, tasks, diary, buddies, live wallpapers etc).
Unfortunately I can't get more than 16 hours, which is insufficient to me. Yesterday I flashed only the original modem.bin of my carrier. Let's see if this provides some different scenario.
Thanks one more time.
Regards.
Using Better Battery Stats, I find my Awake time is always the same as my wifi on time.. and much much higher than my screen on time.. I'm baffled right now.. apart from that.. KI3 does seem great to me.. but my battery is in pain.
2.3.5 is the best so far for me buddy. switched to Foxhoud by BatistaRom and so far 3 hours and only 5% battery drain....hope that answers your question

That is the same thing just a no-wipe version and maybe a little modify. I always used firmwares from samfirmware and since the last firmware i think it was ki2 i had a good battery life. 4d8h max i had and with some use. This one now i have 2d8h and 32% of battery left. So i can't be if i didn't use Intratech's Frankenstein package
My battery life has also improved with 2.3.5. I'm running Leomar75's revolution ROM v2.7.1 with siyah kernel.

Ninphetamine is a fantastic kernel, but that's why you have drain.
Old kernels are not optimized for the 2.3.5
Try the stock rooted (CF-root) or the siya one.
You can always go back to ninphetamine when a 2.3.5 optimized version is released.
On the 2.3.5 the stock one is faster than the ninphetamine (3800-4100 quadrant score all the time) and battery last really a lot longer.
Also the phone under stress is a lot less hot.
Just my 5 cents i think its worth a try for you so you can check if it is better.
Again, im sorry for my poor english.

i actually beg to differ. im using batista rom based on 2.3.5 and using Ninphetamine 2.0.5 and so far 6h and 35 m and only 7% battery drain. and thats with wifi on all the time and browsing here and there. so far so good for me i say..but its always down to personal preference what kernel suits your needs i say..Different handsets kernels work differently

Ye, i think at the end the best choice is to try and see wich one best fits your personal desire. Also a kernel can act different on a S2 than another S2.
I always suggest based on my experience, but ofc can be totally different for someone else.

[Q] Best ROM - Battery wise?

Hi.. my first experience with S2 has not been great battery wise. I've found the battery life to be horrible. Even with all the battery saving features i.e. static background, widgets off, etc. etc., I have to charge the device twice a day. Its practically useless. I was thinking maybe there's some 3rd party ROM out there which would improve the battery life? I'm currently running stock 2.3.4. Any suggestions would be welcome..
try mikimod"s rom its really good for battery, and also sicopat<s rom< and modaco i find they are the best for longer battery
I've used VillianROM, Cognition, and CyanogenMod. I find that CyanogenMod gives the best battery, but your mileage may (or will, most likely) vary.

Now that I have bashed your face in. I get 40-50 hours out of my phone. Try GREEN POWER from the market. It turns your data off when the screen are off. Also See my sig for what I run.
Hyperandoid1.3.2 with speedmodk2-1 gave me a battery life of over 2 days.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You will get mixed answers. People run different roms with different kernels. Some do a full discharge/charge before judging these kind of things, some don't. In the end the most important factor will be apps and usage.
Try what works best for you. And post in q/a section next time.

Is not only the most battery wise, but also the most quick and the most smooth.

Best Rom So Fare.........
( SensatioN Rom 1.8 )
( Based on 2.3.5 XXK13 )
this is none wipe Rom.
Excellent review..
Try It..
Hope you'll Sensation Rom.
Before trying other roms/kernels check to see which apps are draining your battery so much, as for dual core phones the GS2 battery is really good, so in normal situations you shouldn't have to charge the battery twice a day.
I'm in Wanam 5.1 + siyah kernels and as many other users i get +2 days of battery.
@antiochasylum I've hardly had the need to post. In any case, any moderator can feel free to move this thread to General. @Sesshou about 57% is display. Rest of the entries are all negligible. Yet the batter evaporates..
Why no one mentioned MIUI ROMs..?
Are they not good in terms of battery life..?

[Q] DARKSIDE(prefinal) vs NOTTACHTRIX(1.2.7) !!!!

which rom is better in terms of speed, performance, stability and battery life between the two !!
those who have experienced both the roms pls reply ??
thanks !! !
I don't do benchmarks. That said, both roms are stable and good on battery life (which varies wildly, of course, depending on how you use your phone!). I charge my phone every 1.5 days on average, with light/moderate usage. If I'm using it to mirror Netflix and watch movies, I'll plug it in.
Between the two, I went with Nottachtrix simply because it's based on the latest 4.5.141 update; Darkside is based on 4.5.91 I do believe.
nott the latest versions are pure garbage, there is a new version every day correcting their own mistakes by not doing enough testing before launching a new version, ahy to be every day installing all equipment from 0
I like nottachatrix over darkside. It's a better and more up to date ROM and it has updates.

Im using nottachtrix 1.2.9b and my ATRIX goes to sleep and does not wake up at random times, I have to do a battery pull to bring it back. I originally installed 1.2.3 and it did the same. I wiped before installing, so I don't understand what the problem is... but I might be installing a different ROM due to this problem. Can someone point me in the right direction with recommending something good (with toggles in status bar)
I haven't tried neither of them but I'm thinking of going with NOTTACHTRIX since it's basically the original rom/kernel that's been tweaked. I find the original kernel a lot better because it doesn't overheat as much as other kernels.

[Q] Battery problem on Omega v47 rom

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.

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).
