Ok so I got a sgsll but my girl has a vibrant and I flashed ics passion but for some reason she says the battery life its terrible .. Myself am running slickMOD 2.4 and battery life its great.. My question is what is the best ROM for battery life on vibrant. Any suggestions . Performance dont really mater to her at this point. She just want battery to last longer... Thanks in advance

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.
Jajajajaj big nooob here lol y I didnt think of that...

Hmm ok still any recomendations on roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I've had ICS Passion and Euphoria. Passion is really good in battery, way better than stock froyo.

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.

I was looking for peoples opinions on which roms seem to have the best battery life.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
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

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

I've been using bionix with overstock for two months now and have conditioned my battery multiple times.
You say modemm, I know KA5 is good in terms of battery. How can I install that?

And how is Stock 2.2?
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)

saurom wins best battery in my books
i went on a craze testing different roms specifically for battery life. the best battery i got was using saurom gb rom. 1.5 days!! i would say i was aiming for light/moderate usage at the time.
i got decent usage on seraphim ics rom, more on the heavy usage side when i was testing this rom. little over 12hrs. i love it graphically and how smooth ics is, but since im on my phone alot saurom suited my power taste better.
to save as much battery as possible, my config:
- antutu battery saver app
- brightness always at a minimum
- vibrate always off, silent at office, sound only everywhere else
- screen filter app in the dark
- wifi off (test purposes, its a given u'll save more when on wifi)
- auto sync off (im always on it so refreshing apps i need on the fly was good enough, i dont always need to know who emails or facebooks me every sec)

Another battery thread and another thread with people posting how long the battery lasts...
SCREEN ON time people. IMO the most important stat you can post for these battery threads. Who cares if you phone lasts 17 days...but the screen was only on for 5 mins.
My best is just over 4 hours. Haven't quite gotten that again tho.

Agree. Screen time should be 90% determination. Here are mine. I'll be able to get to 4 hours screen time with Juice Defender and RootDim.

Best so far
I'm rooted on stock gb, using Da_G's OC kernel with no battery saving options or apps enabled.
Like the title says,my amaze has a very low battery life.It us an unbranded amaze running "Energy" rom with Stock kernel.
I am having only 3-4 hours battery life(with screen on).It was good with gingerbread but after flashing ICS on it(unofficial way),it got worse.I tried other roms as well e.g "Android revolution","Energy with both faux and stock kernel but battery life was still same.
I also calibrated the battery.
Now you guys have to tell me what to do.I tried my best.
Thanks in advance.

3-4 hour screen time is good. But if that's not enough for you, you can try the 3600 mah mugen power battery

3-4 hours is not good time.I personally use Xperia U and it has great battery time(6-7 hours screen on).And I don't want extended battery because with it,phone looks fat and ugly.

The Xperia u has a smaller screen,a lower clocked processor, you can't expect the amaze to be the same in terms of battery life. It's like comparing the mileage of a Honda civic and a mustang. There is no magical way to double your battery life, but you can lower screen brightness, underclock, etc

But it was not as bad on gingerbread as it is on ICS.It became worse only after updating to ICS.
Is it just me or does this phone completely suck. Dont get me wrong I love android and Samsung. But this phones battery is terrible o have to charge twice a day and as soon as I play any game it heats up and drains all the battery. And everything is slow and laggy. I know its an older phone but this is rediculous. I am running stock att jelly bean

The phone is actually pretty good, especially for its age...
You really need to ditch the stock ROM and try something like Cooked. It will perform better AND have better battery life to boot. There will be nothing laggy about it
Also, keep in mind that playing games will drain the battery quickly on any phone regardless of the ROM.

This.
And, a few people have even stated they still like their SII better than their SIII or SIV.
Check out this battery life. This is on SHOstock3 with lite usage.
I still don't get the fuss about battery life when there are removable batteries ...
Definitely not normal to not last a whole day unless that battery is old. Either case, get some new batteries.

True. This is very light use. No gaming. Not a lot of screen time even. But it illustrates that the kind of problem that you described is due to firmware, and not the phone. There is a thread in this forum titled Known identified battery drainers that can help you understand how to correct battery issues. Part of the problem can be the rom, or more specifically the kernel, but there are other possible issues to consider. You can configure your phone to get very good battery life, even with heavy usage.
