will jd ultimate significantly improve my battery life,i'm a moderate user on a rooted razr
I used it for a while, and didn't find any significant modifications.
I did notice a significant difference when using JD Ultimate. However I had to stop using it because it interfered with my apps that sync in the background (Dropsync, etc).

What i did was I just went to stock.
I go back and forth. But I rooted and then
Bloat freeze and system app remover that could
help alot.
yeah it does work, helps to achieve the 12 hour battery life. read my thread on how to achieve it using juicedefender, just check threads started by me
It works well and I recommend it to everyone EXCEPT for whatsapp "whores" who needs a working connection every second.
What is does is simple. Basically, It turns off 3G connection, and turn it on every 15 mins. If you have an ongoing connection, like if you're downloading a file, it will not turn off its 3G connection until the download is over.
This will not affect phone calls and SMS.
For Ultimate, you can customise it turn 3G on more frequently during peak hours like checking every 5 min during 9 to 5 (working hrs), and set it to less frequently during sleep time.
I dont recommend jd ultimate, on rooted stock if your in an area with 4g lte and want to use it, it seems that it caused some strange issues booting down and up the radio, I used it on my og Droid with cm7 and it worked like a dream, so I'd guess it'd work better on an asop built ROM

Yeah, this ^
It DOES significantly improve battery life, but when you go to use something like a browser, there's a delay while the wifi or 3G/4G radio "wakes up". No free lunch.
Keep your GPS off when not in use, keep screen brightness at a reasonable level, use wifi over 3G/4G when possible, you'll improve battery life without the downsides.
I use it, better than smart actions for me, nicest thing it learns, and you can change it to your needs. Sometimes you do have to wait for radio's to reconnect, but it's seconds, and you can make it fit your needs, and it does save battery life, just depends how much you want it to control.

This is an accurate assessment of jd. I have ultimate and find that it does extent my battery life by several hours but you will notice a bit of lag with your data connection and inconsistency for apps with background sync. I turn it off when I know I'll be around a plug if needed.
19 hours yesterday!
i got 19 hours still had 30%battery life,normal activaties for me include fb,words with friends, speedtest,texting,even talked on phone for 20 minutes,jd ultimate really does work,you just have to play with it to get it right and remember not much will ever help if your screen is on a long time
I've been using all sorts of different combos of roms and finally went back to locked MOF rom based off 2.3.5. But with no 4g in my new residence I'd like to go back to ICS. With this being said, which of the newly updated ICS rom have the best stand alone (not being assisted by any apps) battery life?

It really will be determined by what you plan to use on your phone? Any of the roms can give great or terrible battery life. I build the MIUI for the mighty little Photon. I love it, and the battery life is good enough for my liking overall (avg around 10 hours on an Anker 1600mAh battery). If you want better battery life, use the following:
1) Keep screen timeout down to under 30 seconds. Havina this screen on fora minute is just dumb...LOL
2) Set your e-mail accounts up to poll every 15 or 30 minutes. Having them on PUSH will require them to run in the background all day, and will reduce your battery life...especially if it's an Exchange one.
3) Turn off GPS when not in use. This is a KILLER on ANY ICS rom. It'll suck your battery dead faster than any other thing on your phone
4) Turn off wifi if you're somewhere you won't be using it. Having it constantly searching for open access points will kill your battery
5) Use a darker theme
My best advice...try all of the roms....since a flash takes literally 2 minutes, you can try them all. Flash it, run it for a day, see if you like it, then if you don't go on to the next one

Isn't miui a white theme? Making for less battery life? I usually don't use wifi and leave gps on for work other than that my screen is set to 30 and 30 second timeout... I just need to know, I guess, which rom is the lightest?

Awesome! I guess I'll just have to see which has the least apps installed as a base... Any idea on which one has the least amount of apps starting out? I know CM9 is pretty lite
The reason I'm asking all this is because my only source of downloading is my phone so I'm limited as I'm no longer in a 4g area. Thanks for all the help in advance!

I saw my best battery life in AOKPCB, but I couldn't keep away MIUI.
So far cm9 is pretty bad... Tried miui but the apps are kinda hard to get used too, I heard aokpcb is pink? What about aokp?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
AOKPCB is not pink at all. It's mostly ics blue. AOKP is similar to cm9.

I get pretty good battery life on cm9 with powersave/deadline, profiles, slight undervolting and slight underclocking.10 hour of pretty moderate to heavy use and im at 55%.

No disrespect intended, sir, but I hate this idea. One of the first thing I do is crank my screen timeout up as high as it will go (10 minutes, I think). Nothing worse than your screen dimming when you're trying to do something. If I'm using it, the dimmer can back the frak up. When I'm done, I'll hit the power button and let it go to sleep.
That said, if I'm in low light, I turn the brightness down as far as it will go. Makes it easier to read. My CM7 notification toggle for brightness has two settings: Dim and 100%. I use both regularly depending on where I am.
Also, I find that battery use fluctuates a lot. I've gotten 20 hours on my stock battery -- that was in CM9 or Paranoid Android, one of the two (the latter is CM9 based, but the CM9 and Paranoid Android bases are outdated). I've also gotten as little as 6. I've never heard of a universal benchmark to measure battery life definitively. It's gonna differ every day because your usage changes every day. It's gonna differ from person to person because your location in relation to cell towers is different from mine. At home, my phone works its ass off to stay connected. At work, not so much. My 20 hour run was at work.
None of the ROMs have patently abysmal battery life. One thing that will definitely help is the lack of background processes, so any de-Blur'd ROM (including all ICS ROMs) would have a leg up over stock for that reason alone. Blur has so much crap running in the background, it's disgusting.
Oh, and Amazon Appstore and its notification spam. I bet that sucks up a bit of battery. "Hey hey look at me, you have X updates" *open Appstore* "No apps to update, trollface.jpg". Seriously, the Update tab should display a trollface when there's nothing to update, because you probably went there because of that stupid notification. Maybe use Titanium to freeze Appstore if apps you got through it don't require it to verify your purchase, and follow the free app of the day via Twitter via SMS or something.

Generally speaking, if you're in the middle of something, you really don't need the screen on any longer that 30-60 seconds.

Hey, good question about which ICS Rom having the best battery life. I would definitely have to go with CM9 by Jokersax. The battery life may be bad for a few days, but according to the replies and posts on his website. Battery life will be more exceptional after 3 days of usage. I like my CM9 Rom and it has better battery life everyday. But it is all based on personal preference.
I'm using CM9 7.0.0
Just got it last night and personally the battery life kinda sucks. But I just set up my profiles and whatnot. I also notice the battery life getting better.
Then again it could completely be my fault for always using my phone.

Well I've tested cm 9 for almost 3 days and battery life only lasted for 10 hours on moderate use. I then chose to go with miui for 2 days battery life again was a little bit better only getting 12 hours with moderate use. Then I went to the aokp port bill released and so far I've gotten 16 hours with moderate to heavy use my battery is only at 20 percent and the rom is amazing! Thanks th3bill

So i bought me the SIII about two weeks ago and was excited to use the 2200mah battery. The first day i hit about 18 hours.
Since then i have:
Rooted
Installed CWM
and flashed this Kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741684
Could running this ROM be the reason why i am having such horrible battery life?
Screenshot:

I'm also aware of the Cell Standby issue which gives the wrong reading on the battery life status screen.
:silly:
Possibly. I have Stock unrooted for now as i don't have any reason to root and flash other ROMs yet. I consistently get 22 hours wih about the same screen On time you have. I have Auto Brightness, GPS On all the time, Sync On all the time and widgets running on every page.

never heard of that, but will definitely be doing that right now. The kernel i used overclocks the cpu so that might be a big reason
When i had my HTC Amaze 4G, i get around 12-14 hour battery life. I was even running Energy ROM at the time. I am thinking i might keep it 100% stock for now lol.
Okay, found a screenshot from the first battery cycle. I had Power Save On at the time. I had since been running without it on and of course using the phone more.

What are you OC to?
I tried OC a couple times and my battery would get hot. I quit when I read that some good Dev's say not to do it.
oc will definitely drain your battery faster.

Im running blazers Rom on the Sprint variant of the S3. On my evo 4g lte i had b4 switching to the s3 i would get like 40-50 hours with light/medium usage. With the same amount of usage im getting half of that with the s3. Much less then half if i actually do something with my s3. No widgets- no mobile data turned on- no syncing-no gps. Only wifi is turned on while Im home. 24 hours without a charge seems to be the cap for these phones. and thats with very minimal usage.

Man just from reading a lot I would trying to not oc. You can actually read where a lot of the experienced phone guys stay away from OC and a few actually uc to trade off for battery. More power needs more power

I think thats where im at right now, the phone is plenty fast as it is. So i just recently (about an hour ago) flashed back to the stock rom and am going to re-root and then run the clock down a little bit. OC is a little overrated for my usage!
Hi guys.. ive been flashing all kinds of rom and kernel. In the end i find stock Ics with stock kernel gives me both the performance and battery life i need after removing useless start up and freezing unwanted apps.
Had been using the default touchwiz and suprising theres no lag or redraw or whatever issues. Only set back is i cant customize my stock rom.
Battery life wise i can get up to 6 hrs screen time or maybe more. Will post screenshot after i drain my battery.
On jellybean, batt drain is more noticeable regardless using stock or any other jb roms / kernels. Personally i dont like OCing or undervolting so pls dont mention abt those here.
I am wondering who else here share the same experience with both ICS and JB. Would u still stay on ics or jb?
Would love to hear opinions

I've recently returned to stock rom and kernel after trying warnamlite, miui and a few others. Stock is deco the next for battery. I'm getting nowhere near 6 hours screen time though. How are you stopping apps from starting up? Is this by freezing or have you used another method?

You got 6 hours of screentime with data/wifi on with ICS?
Personally I've been getting better battery life with MIUI on Jellybean, but I've also been using Siyah since the first day I flashed my ROM so that might also have something to do with it. I've had experience with stock ICS and MIUI ICS as well, and the battery drain was essentially the same. I'm running a heavily customized JDUltimate though. If you don't want to undervolt or flash another ROM/kernel then JD is a great alternative. I was using stock GB on my S2 with nothing but Juice Defender and I got pretty decent battery stats, though I can't remember them right now.

Hi .. yes approx 6hrs screen time. With only 3g. But i setted my display to around 20% brightness as im indoor most of the time. I usually use the same setup to test among roms and phones as ive got 2x S3 to play with. One of it is my gfs phone. She plays lots of games so i also hear her feedback regarding the roms and kernels i flashed for her.
I find using auto brightness actually drains the battery more with continus use. I also make sure i got only essential tasks ans apps running in backgrd. Btw i have whatsapp in backgrd all the time.

Yeah I have my brightness at the lowest setting most of the time as well, as the only time that I'm going to be in bright daylight is when I'm walking around, and I'm not going to be looking at my phone while I'm crossing the street and whatnot I figured that all of those "auto" settings actually drain more battery because of their constant turning off and on and adjusting and etc...it seems like it would consume unnecessary CPU power.
How do you manage which apps run in the background?

1. Root the phone
2. Install all the apps / games
3. Use ES task manager to remove unwanted startup
4. Use tit backup to freeze unwanted apps.
System apps like mapservice, secphone, samsung pushservice etc that runs in the background are frozen with tit backup and startup removed by ES task manager.
Result : No useless bloat running in your phones background. Better batt life and performance. I can achieve 300mb ram after a fresh reboot. Stays aroumd 400 to 500 range of ram after a day. Will observe ram a day more as i just flashed stock 3days ago.
But so far so good. Quad benchmark scores are a minimum 5.4k too! Will post screenshots on weekend.

An Aussie? Smutty humour? Never!
(I also had a juvenile chuckle earlier when someone said tit backup!)
So far my experience is in ICS's favour.
Ok. JB is latest. FIne.
BUT TELL ME SOMETHING WE CAN DO IN JB AND NOT IN ICS?
I didnt see even a single sort of such think except some added settings in settings app.
Even looks are same.
We can easily mod the ICS rom to make it look better.
For looks and functions of JB, we can use launchers ofcourse!
And personally, in JB, my ram normal usage was 500+MB.
In ICS, with same apps, its 200-300 MB. How and Why? Both stock kernels.
Also, i am used to playing games while charging. In JB, the battery only declined, even while charging when i played game. But in ics, there is charging instead of discharging even when i play games.
Therefore, jb is mess for me! So unstable with lesser battery....

Users want update because its an update not because its better other wise noobs would not have flashed leaked test roms or Polish firmware .

I need some assistance, I just flashed MeanROM 5.7 this morning and seem to be experiencing the same issue, a draining battery. It's like 8:30am and I unplugged about 6:30am. I'm currently at 77% with very light usage. I've sent maybe 20 text messages and spent maybe 10 minutes in various apps. My on screen time is currently 29 minutes. I have email set to sync every 4 hours, weather syncs every three hours, I created the MeanRom.opt file and set parameters for battery. Is there anything I can do to increase my battery life as I hear about others getting at least a full day out of their battery.

I had mine on and it kicked the crap out of my battery I saw in BBS that wifi had almost 6000 wakelocks so I turned it off until I needed it then back off when done no more battery problems.
It's not uncommon to have mediocre battery life immediately after flashing a ROM...give it a day or two to settle and it should improve. That's typically been the case for me.

Couple of reboots also helps

Thanks BD, will try turning off the autosync. Is there a way I can disable GN? It's rather slow.
Do u do anything else to get that type of battery life? I heard I shld keep 3g off until I actually nd it. What say u?

Hey Premo, I have been having this problem with previous versions al well. I was told I shld keep 3g off until I use an app or svc which requires internet connectivity. What say u?

I have never used GN but I have seen members post there is a way to turn it off in GN settings and my 3g is always on unless I do hook into wifi for a few minutes, I only use wifi as needed.

Yeah, that would help...wifi uses less battery than 3g too, so use that whenever you can. Just make sure the "Best WiFi Performance" option is disabled in wifi settings (it drains battery pretty aggressively).
You really shouldn't have to disable your data connection to get decent battery life though. Have you let the battery run all the way down? How many hours do you get on a full charge? Do you have the same problem with other roms?

I never turn off my 3g. It seems that if it doesn't need data, that it isn't using the 3g. It's on but in a standby mode.
When I'm at home, it's connected to WiFi. Which will help some.
I do have my auto sync turned off too. If stops pinging for messages all the time.
What is GN?
