Hey everyone, I have one question here. As soon as I purchased my Galaxy Tab I started flashing custom ROMs and actually don't know nothing about stocks battery life and can't compare. So can you tell me how long your battery last in stock ROM ir normal usage? On wifi, 3g, gps on and off.
I did the same but I don't think it's any better in stock.. Mine does 3.5/4 days with 8 hours screen with cm9

No, I don't think that stock will last better. I just want to know what is normal for this device and know if battery starts leaking.

Best thing you can do is test it yourself. Nobody else in the world is going to use the device like you...

Ugh when I tried it with stock, battery only last for one day. With pershoot's kernel, it last FREAKING long.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Custom ROMs that are just as good as VillainROM if not better as I've been having problems with it since I first started playing with it a few months back, the most notorious of which has been the battery draining within a couple of hours of fully charging it up!
Criskelo is the rom.you should try and stay with.
Its perfection beyond perfection.

What's it like, battery-wise? The reason why I ask is that hopefully if I try this and it'll fix my modem problem, the battery won't drain without me having to carry a spare in case of emergency...

+1 on this, it's an excellent ROM.
Great battery life and you can leave it stock looking or you can modify it with themes and even more customisable ROMs (surgeons).
HyperDroid just release an update or you can try Foxhound 2.6
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hyperdroid is the way to go
I tried Foxhound and it's not bad but I don't like the fact that it takes an age to load up the start screens plus the pages for the Apps aren't numbered at the bottom... (I know I'm nitpicking but it's just one of those things that annoys me) So I'll be trying out the others tonight along with the Battery Calibration App that was mentioned in the Foxhound 2.6 thread as well.
MIUI or cyanogenmod. Try both and see what you like more.

I know the Thunderbolt's battery is known for being very short, but I charged it to 100% right before I went to bed, and when I woke up the next morning it was down to 63%. WiFi and 4G/3G was not on, only the cell radio. This doesn't seem normal at all, but is it?
I get atleast 12 hours with my set up. For you to get an honest reply, you need to tell us what rom, kernel, are you overclocked and such. Hard to comment without those dude.

I'm running Redemption ROM. I have no idea what kernel. I'm guessing the stock one since I never changed it. I'm not overclocked.
Maybe I could change to a ROM and kernel that gets better battery life?
The best ROM/Kernel combo I've found so far is the BAMF Cubed 1.10 with imoseyon lean kernel....After installing try doing a battery calibration...very detailed procedure with no app download at teambamf.net. But anyway, still using the stock battery from when I bought my Tbolt in March 2011....getting 26-30 hours of battery life.

Is that redemption rom and old rom? If so, roms and kernels have come a long way.

It was last updated 10/23/11, which I guess is quite awhile ago. I love the look of it so much though!

Hey guys. Thought I'd make a thread on battery life just so everyone can show how long the battery lasts and with how much usage.
So people can get a good idea of what your using please post 4 things.
And please make sure you take a screenshot of all 4 things.
1. Post a picture of battery usage and of display time. Also please post a picture of the battery graph.
NEW: Please Post a screenshot of the app better battery status when reporting stats. We want to see what apps you're using.
2. Post what Rom version you're on and what kernel version. (ie im on Checkrom v4 with siyah 2.6.7)
3. Tell if your using a script such as init.doh or something like that.
4. Tell if your using another battery if not stock. (I'm using the stock battery by the way.)
5. If your on ics please post battery life of roms.
Altogether the post should look like this.

GUYS MAKE SURE ITS ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE. THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION FOR WHO HAS THE MOST SCREEN ON TIME. POST WHAT YOUR DAILY USAGE IS NORMALLY SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY GET AN IDEA OF WHAT ROM WORKS BEST.

So I'll start. I'm on Checkrom Revolution v4 hellraised and am on siyah 2.6.7 with no scripts and without set cpu or voltage control installed. (basically everything is the same as when i installed the kernel.
Guide to better battery life coming soon.
O and here is another one with the exact same set up as above.

To the OP, you're getting 6.5 hours screen on time with the stock battery? Or are you using a different one?
I'm lucky if I get 12 hours off a charge with heavy use and not disabling anything. I always carry a spare OEM battery with me.

The only issue with posting battery stats this way is that I can manipulate my stats by charging through out the day long as I do not reboot.

What do you suggest then?
It also appears you didn't use the phone. What did you do for that long? Your stats say you starred at a black screen.
Attatched is me surfing the web for 3 hours and still have almost 50pc battery left. Its real easy for me to get 5 hours battery if I use the phone for a long amount of time in one sitting. Impressive stats are when people get 3 days and 4 hours screen on.
I use a bunch of things to save battery. Safe to say its all written up in my init.doh thread.

Stick with what you enjoy. Each ROM base will have it's negatives. I'd use most functional ROM. Battery life isn't a mystery. Your display time of under two hours must have been very heavy use. One thing I've noticed with kl1 base is initially and few days after it always posts great battery results then after things settle it posts noticeably lesser battery life.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
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.

you can check your wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats. look it up in xda and download it, or buy it from play store.
i would recommend trying different custom roms to see if battery life improves.
