My biggest issue with my ROM is essentially the battery life.everything else is amazing ( nice job objection creators). So the question I pose, with the official releaser of Ics is the battery performance better? Same?
Can we expect the battery life to increase street some good devs get their hands on it. Other then that....excellent job so far gentlemen.

I mean not THAT much difference between official ICS release and what devs already had so......
Imo only thing that can truly help is undervolting since we now have source
But even without that you will still have folks claiming they get 72 hours off a stock battery
So "battery life" is all relative to how you personally use your phone

Couldn't agree more. I've been playing with Hotw1re's custom kernal with the overlock and playing with the voltages. I'll give you an update in a few days to let you know my battery stats.

As the title says!
I always get the same battery life on any rom's flashed i even do calibrations.
Now don't get me wrong im not complaining or anything its just that before i could see the battery life changes in each rom ?
Can a battery get over used (old) ?

Lipol batteries loose charge capacity eventually after like 10000 charge cycles or something. Only poorly coded/alpha roms will have a serious effect on your battery life hope this helps

I had it for 2 years almost now but im quite sure i didnt hit the 1k charge cycle but poorly coded rom could have effect on battery life?
I mean some rom's advertise as better battery life and such but i never find a difference :O

Hey oodie what's up
Ugh my question was why people advertise their rom as having battery tweaks where infact we get same battery life in every different roms lol

I was just teasing buddy
& getting to the point, we can add some battery tweaks to a custom rom than the stock rom. But we have to keep in mind that the less battery consuming means less performance. For instance, we can reduce wifi scan interval, so the battery life will be somewhat tweaked. But alas! Then users will complain that there is a issue with wifi, network finding time is very slow in this rom, etc,etc.
So the conclusion is, if you need a rom to be good or perfect, we'll need everything to be balanced. So everyone should be happy. So the battery life maybe same in every rom ( depending on usage) .

I duno about battery life, but it certainly is smooth and buttery smooth!
what you mean "9 hour charge" ?
and whats your screen on time?

You mis-understood. He got a run on sentence " it has such great perfomence and excellent battery life i have never had.My phone on a 9 hour charge before i am also overclocked at 1.6 ghz."
He meant before when he got overclocked to 1.6GHZ
still confused
Before he flashed to ics, he was on a rooted gingerbread rom. He was able to over clock then, but not now on the ics rom.
I still get what SayWhat10 got out of it. It could mean many things. lol
I apologize for I know that similar threads have been created but the last one is fairly old. I have mostly been running AOKP for the last few weeks but I recently tried out serendipity- I'll say that I do prefer an AOSP style rom over a samsung rom. I do like customization but battery life is a priority to me. Can someone please give some input to what rom/kernal/governors are being used to maximize battery life?
There is no simple answer to this question. All Kernels and ROMs are good - please refer to Entropy's battery drain thread for common issues affecting battery drain.
Some kernels however offer UV ability e.g. Siyah which allows u more flexibility.
Having said this I saw about the same battery life on most of the ICS roms I tried.
I am currently evaluating custom GB roms to see if the battery life is better.
Aokp and fluxxi. Pegasuq governor or something like that. Don't expect any other help from people. Smh

Thank you, I will try the fluxi kernel. I know i'm most likely only to receive an open-ended answer at best. It's just that honestly I have tried different combinations on my own without too much success

Sure that works for you but other kernels/governors are better for other people. That's what we're trying to get at so there's no need for a smh.

Yeah I understand that, it's just you would think that several people might say "woah hey this particular kernel has amazing bettery life!" But apparently that is not the case...

we've trained most not to say crap like that. its all dependent on user, apps, and device.

There is no best. This is a ridiculous question that gets asked every day. What's good for one person may not be for someone else.
You have to try them for yourself.
If there was a best, surely everyone would use only 1 rom....

Try CheckROMv2 + nimphetamin3 kernel

Hi,
It's not a silly question - there are far too many custom roms with custom kernels. The combinations of these add up to an awful lot of flashing, not to mention then running it for a few days to get an idea on battery and performance. It would probably take weeks!
Anyways, for me, i rooted my stock UK rom using Chainfire 6.3, and then froze any bloatware apps i didn't use or want using Titanium Pro. This is now giving me better battery life than previously and running nice and smooth.
To give you an idea, i had around 25 hours moderate use with around 4.5 hours screen time.
Hope that helps a little. I'll probably try a custom rom sometime once things settle a little more, though i'm really really hoping for Jelly Bean now.....

What Processes did you freeze? I am considering this too but I don't see too many processes which drain the battery (unlike the S2 when I first got it). Thanks.
Hi, I need some battery help, this is my first android phone after running with ios for the last 4 years, I'm using th S3 and loving it however I'm having to charge the phone twice a day. Like I say this is my first android so rooting is new and I unsure what I'm doing here. I've followed plenty tips to save battery life but it's still running down too quick.
After 3 1/2 hours of very little use my battery is at 70%
Standby has zapped 24% of that
Screen another 24%
Internet 21%
System 12%
OS 8%
These safe the main culprits for the battery use, I understand you can do something when you root the devise, any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
This should be in the Q&A section, but please be specific as to what exactly you were doing? (Gaming, browsing in 3g or wifi, etc.) If you just got the phone however, just wait for about three and four days and the real battery life would start to emerge. This is the time when most phones can actually last for almost a day or two. Another thing is that you should download Better BatteryStats and find apps that give the most wakelocks. Just take a screenshot and upload it here if you need help. And live wallpapers and widgets do cause some unnecessary battery drain.

I've had it since release. I hoped that JB would fix the battery. I'll try and get a screenshot later
maybe something stopping your device from going into deepsleep.
One use Better Battery Stats ,
Two read the multitude of battery threads .

Flash a kernel? I assume I need to root the phone first.
I used to feel the same but after I use wanam rom ... I feel good with my battery .. so give it a try and welcome to android

If you're not using your phone and it is still at 800mhz, there is something wrong. :laugh: what the hell you talking about.

I think he's talking about underclocking the max cpufreq to 800 mhz when you're sure that you're not going to be using the device for a while. I think it's a pretty good idea actually, but certainly not practical for everybody especially heavy users like me

Yeah. I sometimes do that when im not near a charger and my battery is dwindeling. Anything less than 800mhz is pretty bad though when your used to the rapidness.
Looks like im selling this badboy anyway. Hopefully get a lg nexus next week. It seems to me that to acheive proper butteryness you have to use toichwiz ui. None of the cm10 or even when i use nova or any other launcher. None of are as smooth as tkuchwiz.Im mad for mods and flashing so think its time for a switch.

Thinking of the same too actually. But based on the rumors, I hear more nexuses coming from other OEMs are to be actually revealed rather than just from lg. Although if the nexus 4 really does come with just 8gb of internal storage without a microsd slot then I'm sticking with my S3. Although I hear that new parts of code are already starting to show up in the Origen-board-something for exynos processors, this might turn out to be a gamechanger for our problems with cm10 or other pure android goodies.
