SOMEONE !! HELP !!
I need to find out which ROM has the best battery life, can someone point me in the right direction pls....
Thanks
Ian
Try them all. It all depends on how you use your phone. There's no magical rom with great battery life.
If you use your phone a lot, go for a ROM which isn't overclocked.
If you want the longest idle time before recharge, I think you should set the "conservative" governor as a screen off policy and you will be fine. Of course you can also disable features such as data but you will loose many useful features of your phone. Unlike what some people says, disabling GPS doesn't improve battery life as it isn't used except when you start an application which use it.
Battery life is most affected by the screen light.
And with every rom you have to callibrate your battery. Most people with poor battery life haven't done this.
The Froyo roms are the best options because the are faster and less stressing for the juice.

They all have the same battery life (give or take 5 minutes)
All pretty similar.
Use an underclocked kernel, play around with brightness settings or use an app such as ultimate juice / juice defender to regulate 3g / wifi usage

How to callibrate my battery??
My Hero just lasts two Days with 691mhz Flykernel 11 and Elelinux 2.1 and no 3g.
I just hear a lot of music with it, connect it a few to wifi and play some games in the school.....
How long does your batteriest last?

You say two days without a charge with occasional wifi use (wifi on, screen on, phone signal on), and games playing (sound on screen on, processor busy) like it's a bad thing...
Since the mid 2000s phone capabilities have been surpassing battery performance at a remarkable rate. With the advent of the iphone and the gaining popularity android smartphones, phone feature demands have exploded while battery technology just isn't anywhere near providing the kind of battery life we expected on our dumb phones, ie, don't bother packing a charger for a two week holiday if you charge up before you leave.
This is a large reason why new technology is being created with more efficient manufacturing processes, smaller dies, etc etc, as it is easier to reduce power consumption at this time than it is to build slim, cheap, high capacity batteries.

Mine struggles to get a day battery life, with not very heavy useage... how do i calibrate my battery?
I am an owner of optimus one for 5 days now and I want to share some thoughts about the battery.
I know that 1500mAH is a very good capacity, but I can't say that I am really satisfied with it.
I have pretty much set everything to drain the least amount of battery, like:
A) 2G only
B) Brightness at 25%
C) GPS off
D) Auto updates all off
E) No background apps that take power and
F) Turn it off at nights.
I get about 2 days and I don't think that this is much.
How much does your optimus one last and what have you done (if anything) to optimize your battery performance??
Mine has the same battery life in the same conditions
Don't think there is anything you can do about it..
I guess all the touchscreen android smartphones are +- the same in terms of battery..
Mine lasts about the same as yours too..
I get (easily) 2 days with 3G on during the day, automatic sync of calendar and contacts & facebook app. I charge it every other night and reboot after charging.

why rebooting after charge?
I believe that 2 days that already a very good range! I mean, "cellphones" today are computers! Even without any background application opened, you always have some services running. It is normal that you can't keep it alive without charging for a weak...
Anyway I think that 2 days isn't to much and it should be better. If I'm not wrong Samsung Galaxy S keeps about 3 days and more. It have AMOLED, but more faster procesor and my phone keeps only 2 days even though I don't use it...

From my experience with mobile phones (from nokia 8310,siemens sl45,nokia 6310i,sharp 903,nokia e51/e52, k810i and now the LG P500) only the E51/E52 would last me more than 1.5days under my usage,so I consider that the lg with all of the services running can keep about 1.5days is very good...
I have a Galaxy S and it barely lasts a day - even with JuiceDefender. I'd be pretty happy to have a 2 day battery life.
Was the battery calibrated properly?
Several rounds of full charge and full discharge.
From what you say, you might have done only 2 or 3 cycles...so maybe it'll improve slightly over time.
Also 2 days is indeed good.
Samsung Galaxy also about 2 days with conservative use. 3 days is probably for highly optimized setups for juice savings, I couldnt achieve that unless I dont use my Galaxy S .
I just found this nice app that allows you to save some battery by throttling the CPU frequency to a lower value when not used: setCPU
get it for free here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
It does require your phone to be rooted, I'm afraid...
Here's another program which promises to do the same, free from the market:

Kinda useless, since O1 kernel already has a cpu governor that switches CPU frequency when it goes in stand by mode
Just got my Optimus... and yes, the battery life is about 2 days with moderate use.
But that seems damn good actually. Considering these are just mini-PCs nowadays. Try running a laptop PC that long on just the battery
I just tried using advanced task manager as a user said in gsmarena..
My battery lasts more one day...but the phone is a little slower too..
I currently have a Galaxy S and my missus has an LG OO what puzzles me about the LG is when you check what drains the battery (which incidently only lasts about a day with both phones) the Galaxy S screen drains about 75% of its battery but on the LG cell standby drains around 80-90% what on earth could be using so much power when in standby. There is very little syncing going on and GPS and Bluetooth etc are disabled.
Any ideas?
Weird. I got mine to last 2 days and still have ~55% battery remaining (which means about 4 days until it's completely off). My config is pretty much the same as the #1 post. I even browsed the web with wi-fi and played some games (for like 2 hours).

Hi,
What is the battery life we may expect from a Galaxy S2 ? Mine (from fully charged) lasted only 3-4 hours surfing the web using 3G, maybe including some wifi usage, however screen was dimmed down. Isn't the battery supposed to last a little longer ? The phone is new and I am on the third day now. Is there anything wrong with my device or will battery performance improve after some battery cycles ?

Mate 3g browsing on the sgs2 does kill that battery in 3-4 hours max.. that is actually the time scale most reviews give.. i know its a pain i hate it myself, but ull find generally using the phone ie camera, music etc gives you a longer battery. The browser rocks! but its a serious power drinker, i did discover that some sites are saying that using a 3rd party browser helps things abit e.g dolphin or opera. It has something to do wiv the gpu accelaration which enables u to do things like play 1080p videos in the stock browser and the constant smooth perfomance
oh and i found the battery does improve after a few cycles, but i think thats mainly due to the fact u tend to not be constantly playing with the phone al the time
Yep, 4 hours tops for me screen on usage.
Using Juice Defender which helps a bit..
Abouth the battery...
Earlier this evening my phone was at 28%, when i picked it back up an hour later it was 31%????
I watched the battery graph and it showed a Yellow line going upwarts slitghtly., is that strange??
Afterwards i saw green going down and than up again. I will post a pic of it.
Seriously, there are 5+ battery threads already, what is so specific about your case you felt the need to start a completely new discussion on it????
Fully charged this morning, moderate use throughout the day, on 52% now after 16 hours. I'm happy with that.

2% drop in battery over 4 hours with Android OS running at 32%... android OS bug my arse...
I wonder what would happen if people actually used their phones for talking.
I pre ordered this and waiting shipment. I can compare with the atrix i had, that the battery life was not to shabby but it had a 1900mah battery.
You can't expect amazing battery life with this phone
4.3inch screen
AMOLED+
1.2ghz CPU.
if they made the phone a bit thicker a tiny bit they could of put a bigger battery in there but samsung wants to compete with apple on thinest phones.

First off battery life was not that bad on froyo and understand GB has issues but this seems a bit extreme. I am running Full version of Gingetitis and other state battery life is great but not for me. I did full drain and battery wipe and calibration last night but seems even worse now . Phone has been on for 37 minutes and battery is down to 80%. brightness is turned all the way down, screen off in 1 minute, I have run speedtweak and set to battery saver, no gps, no blue tooth. I love gingeritis and the sense 3.0 so any assistance would be great.
Nope battery life is terrible on chingys GB rom. I was running it not good.

which kernel you are using?
i use the mr2 radio and 3.0.1 kernel. The batterylife is worse than froyo i agree, but it shouldnt be too bad to not last for a day.
Also, i think 4G drains a lot. My area switched form 3G to 4G and its gone worse.
I am running the default kernel, haven't flashed anything else. Unfortunately I do not live in an area with 4G so I just get 3g, I do run WiFi when at home.
I have the same issue.
I just tweak the speedtweak into option 5)
I went out taday. tb lost 10% battery per hr. Is this normal?

Did you turn off 3g in the settings?
I have turned off 3g lately, when I can get wifi, to see if it will help but haven't noticed much difference.
This is interesting because I'm on gingeritis with the included kernel and my battery life has been very good.

If everyone post their usage and battery drain condition. That will be more help us to realize our TB. Cause we might have different phone before, and we might compare TB with our privious phone. So I think this is the different replies on this thread.
ex. my previous phone is droid 2 global, and it has terrible battery drain as well.
Now I got TB for a couple days, and I feel TB get more battery drain problems. (of course, it is the first 4G LTE phone )
kernel: imoseyon 3.01
baseband: 1.39.00.0430
rom: Gingeritis v1.0
and I set speedtweak.sh as battsaver 5) and battery tip on rom's op.
that's I do to my phone now.
And I lost 10% battery life per hour (use 4G to surf on net)
Is my battery drain case terrible?
(I think only comparsion can help us to know where is the problem )
flashed a kernel a zip file,and 2 fonts.
Rebooted 4 time I total.

I agree! I was running BAMF froyo remix with outstanding battery life. Made the switch to gingeritis and the battery life was so-so, tried the dream kernel and for a few days the battery life was as good as froyo. Then random reboots forced me back to stock kernel with gingeritis with normal on speedtweak and it is slightly better than before.
There should be a new dream kernel out soon, I plan to try that one when it drops, dream kernel was great when it worked.

your stock kernel version is?
I am running gingeritis and a full charge last me about 7 hours, on a good day. Mind you, I am over clocked to 1.4 and have a bad habit of checking my phone even when I haven't felt it vibrate or heard it ring. Because of this, I started to notice that when I would pull my phone out of my pocket, the screen would be on. I'm assuming that my constant movement at work is causing my volume button to be pressed, resulting in my display eating up 50% of my battery.
I've been running BAMF Remix Beta 6 for almost a week now. I just got the extended battery a few days. It's lasted anywhere from 12-16 hours on a full charge with 4G always on. Earlier today I had it on 3G only and lost 25% in about 4 hr and 40 min. I am using batterysaver in speedtweak.sh with the kernel that came with the ROM.
Post your battery life here and say witch L9 you have. And give the most details if you can

And i didnt see any thread like this. So i start one.
PEOPLE plz post also screen on time!!
edit have the phone. and it has good battery life will post mine soon also.
Battery life is very good, this includes mainly internet browsing with wi-fi and 1-1.5 hours of gaming, brightness always at 50%.
My cpu is undervolted a lot, for example I give only 860mv for 1000mhz, hotplug governor. I have 25% battery left so I could have about 4:30 hours of screen on time using the full battery charge.

your guys battery sounds great;
mine only lasts bit more than one day
For some reason, my battery life has gotten worse than when the image was taken. I am insane, mental, and deranged about battery life so I will have more specific percentages soon. I have tried ending anything I suspected was using the battery to save battery life. When the phone is charging, I even take the back cover off my phone to disperse the heat from the battery. Welcome to the most useless and pathetic obsession in existence.
As you can see, the screen takes up the vast majority of battery life, due to being at 50% brightness. Any lower, and I would have to bring my own flashlight. I turn off wireless unless I use the Internet. One charge ranges from 3 to 5 days, depending on how bored I am in school and how much Fruit Ninja/Temple Run I play.
Here I am again with more battery life measurements. Playing Fruit Ninja causes the battery to drain 1% every 3 minutes or so. On the other hand, leaving the phone on sleep mode causes 1% to drain in about 5 hours. Also attached are app percentage power usages to give a sense of what is using up all the battery.

These are my results with above average use(wifi or 3g always on,sync every hour,a little bit of subway surf...)
5h ?? what brightness u were using ?? 30% ? this is cool
How can your battery last so long?? Mine has never lasted more than one day, never!
The screen is always on 50% brightness,except when battery goes under 20 then i set it to 25 %... The screen on is never under 4 h... With heavy use,battery holds through the day easy... I'm very satisfied with the battery life of my L9..
