Just out of curious, how is your tf201's battery life? just want to see how each different rom works with the battery life.
by replying, could you please provide the follow info?
ROM+version:
Kernel:
CPU governor:
upper/lower cpu freq limit:
battery duration: discharging time + screen time
if possible, attach a battery discharging chart would be nice.
Thank you
Edit:
here is my own observations:
ROM+version: CM10 (no cherry pick) + flash very update when it is released
Kernel: default
CPU governor: On Demand
upper/lower cpu freq limit: 102 / 1600 MHz
battery duration: discharging time + screen time :
I have a total of 7.5+ hours of continuous online streaming videos
In daily use: 3 days of discharging with 5+ hrs of screen time (GPS: on, WIFI: never on when sleep, Sync: on)
Re Battery Life
This is a big one for me...
I've had my prime for about 4 weeks and have had a new rom every week...
The stock rom it came with .28 did have lags and generally seam not so smooth.
Battery life seamed quite good...
So unlocked installed TWRP and on to a better OS
First was AndroWook 2.1.
Battery was quite good Tried a number of variations but would still get screen tearing on the left hand side
Tried --[ROM] 7/5/12 Prime w/ Sense Appeal 9.4.2.28 Beats,Tweaked-- next
And yes it did seem more stable and had great battery life but the visuals were too over the top for me and some panels had white on grey and were a little challenging to decipher
Gave CM9 RC2 a go next... Love CM9 been running it on my SG2 since Jan CM7 before that... Love their work...
Installed it on the prime and had the wifi reboot issue where as soon as the wifi goes on or off it soft boots again and again and again... Ran it with wifi off and got very good battery life for a couple of nights but i really need wifi...
Ran Aokp next.. Love this.. Lots of interface tweaks and customisations. very stable very responsive probably the best rom I've tried but the battery life was woeful.../ Cut my battery life if half... 8 to 10 hours at most... less with wifi...
So now a month later I've come back to AndoWook and a stock kernel, cause i need stability and long battery life
Will probably settle on this for awhile till CM10 or AOKP JB gets outa Alpha and into Betta
All installs were with the default kernel image and default settings. Except AOKP there i used the conservative governor
Stock ROM .28
MODD:
1. build.prop TWEAK
2. ATP TWEAK v7
---- sio
---- tune.sh max
3. Overclock on 1.4GHz screen on / 1.0GHz screen off (interactive)
---- I make some profiles
4. RAM all the time on 500-700 mb
Autokill
With this my battery life is perfect! I never have a problem with AAaaaaaAAAAaaa i dont have any more battery! =D

Hard to say exactly because I have it in the keyboard dock a lot. At work, the keyboard dock sits on my desk and I put the prime in it whenever it is not in use. With moderate usage throughout the work day and then heavier usage in the evenings, by the time I'm done for the day I have often drained the dock battery down near 0% but the Prime itself is usually around 60%. So I wonder if I didn't have the dock, would I run out of juice on the prime? It's unclear though because at work I use a lot of USB accessories hooked up to the dock which may be responsible for the drain on its battery. I have a USB wired Ethernet stick that seems to really drain the dock battery - so its kind of hard to tell.
Given the usage above though, if I start out the day with a full charge on both dock and prime, it gets me through the entire day and up until bedtime without another charge - even if I watch a movie on it in the hotel room at night.
This is completely stock except rooted and unused apps frozen with Titanium backup.
Oh, and PS: This is running in balance mode all the time.

I'm bout to start using the interactive governor that was just introduced. Wanted to start a thread so we can share results.
[tip] charge battery after green light for atleast 2-3 hours. THEN wipe before you unplug with the fully charged batt. It will def. gain you battery life more than just 1 hour after green light... I think its because of the trickling mechanism that it turns into after it has so much charge in it. I do that now and It usually takes 2-3 hours with moderate usage to get down to 85% (auto brightness). that's with wifi and edge on (0% without signal bcuz of using edge)
if battery is not at 4197mv it's not fully charged. =p GL
I just updated to cm6rc2 for this kernel... yesterday i got 12.5 hrs battery before it died. hopefully this will do even better
I'm at 79% battery after 4 hours and 30 minutes with moderate usage on 2.6.34.1 RC2 kernel. It's not bad, I ordered an extended battery a few days ago and should be coming in tomorrow or Wednesday. I hope the battery life makes up for the ugliness.
Bryuliroooooo
yeah my theme nexblue v8 wasn't workin with rc2 so iwent back to the 713 nightly ... i mean i got it workin buttery smooth already so its good money right now knamean... gotta tell that bryuliro cuzz to make a rc2 version so i can test it out... AND THIS IS FOR INTERACTIVE GOVERNOR TEST NOT JUST BATTERY. PLEASE BE USING INTERACTIVE GOVERNOR FOUND IN LATEST IR KERNEL

i'm not familiar with what this interactive governer battery thing is. is it some app or system function i can use?
also, the OP says to get up to 4.197 volts, but the highest i can ever get up to is 4.172 volts. this is even after charging for 8 hours, then dumping the dmesg and sorting thru all the results. never went above 4172 mV...

using the method i described in my 1st post you can get over the 4172 .
the interactive governor setting is in SetCPU the overclocking program, even if u don't oc u can change this. to me it seems really stable and noticeably snappier. the phone feels iphone-ish smooth now. before it was really smooth but i can tell a difference now
meh..
3 h 49 min. - 64% battery. Mod. - Heavy usage.
i don't think i charged it past the green light long enough tho
10 h 15m - 10% - died.
not too, too bad, but i had background data and auto-sync on alot today
Day 2 Testing
Day 2 of testing. Background data off (forgot last time).
Start - 100% , 4197mv
2h 56 min. - 85% battery, 4035mv, moderate use, some calls, text, emails, lookin on xda, tryin to get psx emu .... about 50 min. of music too
8h 24 min. - 57% battery, 3835 mv phone still feels mad snappy ... like a fresh reboot... u guys should test this out, i use alot of widgets too... i'll do some shootme in here later
9h 46 min. - 45% battery, still feels like fresh reboot. Installed and unistalled several apps/widgets from market and everything... Been using wifi for market... turning background data off.
11h 1m. - 35%... then i put it on the charger for the night for some youtube and overnight charging while off. nice work devs.... niiiiiiice
Just wondering because right now I'm using GSB v2.6 and I'm getting max 6 hours of battery life through normal use like checking email, sms, casual browsing, and listening to music.

Have you tried re-calibrating your battery? Made a huge difference for me; it's good to do especially with a lot of ROM flashing, but even with just one it can throw your battery calculations off.
FYI follow the instructions to the letter, otherwise you might as well not do it at all IMHO.
I had the same issue using GSB 2.X. Switched to OMGB 1.1.1 and i now get 15 hours with moderate usage and no tweaks.

I've gotten over 30 hours before with GSB, immediately after a recalibration.
Your best bet for battery life is setcpu settings. As long as you're using froyo and gingerbread you'll get a boost.
I suggest Tazz as his ROM's have always worked for me. My setcpu sleep profile is:
min 19mhz
max: 480mhz
governer: smartass
and in advanced settings I have:
polling interval: default
Whatever the next one is: 98
Ignore smart or hwatever the third one is: 1
bias: 4
edit: With this I can get a good day or two of moderate use.
I found on GSB that that 19mhz is too low and the phone does not always wake from sleep. I followed workshed's suggestion of min 480 mhz with max 710 using CM7's CPU settings and all worked very well...that is until 2.0 when battery life went to hell. I recalibrated but i think the problem was my exchange mail app.
Oh, and with smartass you shouldn't have to set sleep profiles. Supposedly it's "smart" enough to figure that out
You can also try collins battery tweak, I use it on tazz gingerbread and it works awesome my phone used to die pretty fast before I tried it and now that I put it back on my phone I am very glad I did.
Im running GSB 2.8 but for me, all seems to be going well.
In one day, off a single charge, I've gone 12-14 hours at a time!
Make sure you always charge correctly, and don't abuse the phone's battery all the time!
Been trying out various ROMs and lately, I've settled on FroShedYo's Final V11 with CM6.1 as my everyday workhorse, stability over speed, and with a bit of battery calibration - getting an average of easily 20 to 30 hours off a full charge on OEM 1500 maH battery originally for the HTC Ozone (so it's about 15% higher capacity than stock's 1300 maH, which I keep as a spare/backup.)
With a bit of tweaking on CPU clocking (Ondemand), turning off vibrate & alert sounds/LED's, and email checks every 60 minutes (1 account only + Gmail pushed) and minimal widgets open, etc. - I can leave the house at the beginning of a long day, go about daily business, voice calls, check email checks, quick news & weather update, etc. and still have 25% to 50% battery life after an extended 12 to 15 hours day on the move, depending on how the device is used. I get a poor 3G signal at the house flipping to 1X often & back, and wifi OFF on the road (BlueTooth ON for driving but no Maps/NAV (ON at home.) In short, plenty of variables on how the battery is getting drained - in standby mode, clock speed is lowered so I could still be over 90 to 95% battery after 2 years but it will slide downward with active usage. After wiping/flashing & reinstalling all the APPS & fine-tuning the settings, I do a NAND backup and then do the battery calibration - and after 1 full cycle, I've been consistently getting these standby & usage time - which I can live with (C2C flashed and extra goodies on a 16GB SD card.) Yesterday, it was showing over 50% after 15 hours of light/moderate usage.
I've tried the latest nearly finalized GSB/GB Roms & variants, they are faster & fancier, but FC's, GPS issues & other minor bugs plus "not as good" battery life had pushed it back to 2.2 OS on the Eris. OMGB 1.1.1.1 and the Condemned CM7 just out this week are pretty cool - but battery life really slide quickly - unlikely to see more than 10 to 15 hours of usage out of a standard/non-extended battery.
The other one that I like is the Nonsensikal 2.2.1 ROM, troublefree, stable & reliable - the edge on battery yielding to FroShedYo's version ( keep that on another 8GB card along with the newest GB releases for "playing")
Otherwise, the xtrSENSES 5.x and xtrROM 5.x are fine as well for everyday use - performance & battery life-wise over the latest stock 2.1 ROM.
Those are my two cents for what it's worth, great work being done here and it's giving new life to the Eris, not quite EOL for some of us - played with the TB in the store, nice big screen & fast, but I'm not about to wear a "brick" phone going out on the job with an extended/bulky battery just for bragging about 4G/LTE. Mobile devices have come a long way, I still got my original analog MicroTac XLT with a 2200 maH tipping the scale at 10 oz in my bottom storage drawer.
On the sideline for a "polished" GB/GSB ROM with the bugs resolved and better battery life, and I'm off to flashing it on my spare SD to test it out. for the "adoption" usage.

6 hours wow thats bad man. i get 30+ running gingertazz
i leave 3g off till i need it and usally just use wifi if around wifi spot
do a recal. like people suggested
I was wondering what roms can you all suggest for increased battery life as well as apps. I tried juice defender as it takes way too long to start wifi and 4g at times and I tried dx battery defender that almost does nothing for me.
I used to use Juice Defender, but at least since the Gingerbread update it seems to make things worse. I don't use any battery saver apps now (I tried 2X Battery too and it seemed to make it worse as well). I'm still on the stock rom (GB), and I can easily get 24+ hours on a full charge with minimal usage. I only have a time & weather widget, and have disabled synching on everything but my calendar and weather. I should also note that I have the Rezound battery as well, but even on the stock TB battery it seemed pretty good.
If you are rooted:
Install an AOSP rom (Liquid 3.2 is what I like)
Install IMO's latest kernel
Run speedtweak.sh
Choose the battery saving option.
Underclock to 768
If you are not a gamer there will be almost no performance problems and you will double your battery time.
If not rooted:
Give $ to VZW for an extended battery.
I get 14 hours on infected eternity, oc'd, stock battey, gps an wifi always on, with moderate use. Sirius xm 2+ hours a day, lots of text an internet. Use stock kernel ot comes with

i run this also, works very well. i dont use my phone for games so its great.
I recently took it a step further. I downloaded incredicontrol for free from the market and further undervolted. The best numbers for me are:
245 MHz at 775
368 MHz at 875
768 MHz at 925
This gets me about 24 hrs with moderate use.
Remember those voltages are good for me but if they fry your phone grandma and couch it is not my fault.

I also use tasker. Wonderful tool if you are willing to put the time in to learn how to use it and set up profiles. I have my phone set up to turn wifi on every half hour and keep it on if a connection is made and to shut it down if none is made and try again in a half hour. Saves on battery not running wifi when none is available.

Does the extended battery cause more overheating than the standard? I've had the phone for three days now, and this thing heats up way too much with normal usage. To the point the LED blinks... I use the extended, but am willing to buy the standard if it'll help.
I have only had it blink when using ics Roms...and it occurs with the standard battery as well for me. I am hoping when ics is official the kernel will fix the heat issues. My phone works good on ics on either battery until I start actually using my phone.
Sent from my Rezound
Yea I'm rooted, on stock ROM. Been an issue from minute one...
Nils business ics is the best for me battery and heat wise. With a max CPU speed of 1.2ghz and tweaked conservative governor, and limiting screen brightness to a max of 40%, I have yet to see the phone get to 39c. Before with auto brightness and full speed on demand gov it would push 43c which bothers me. This is all with standard battery. I usually don't worry much about extended battery since it lasts forever compared to standard. Hope that gives some ideas

Hi guys!
I'm experiencing some problems with my Galaxy S III.
I've been changing and testing ROM's for my Galaxy S III for a few months, and i decided that the best ROM for my device is the ARHD (Thx Mike).
But every ROM i try i experience poor battery life.
I got 1% drain/4 hours with everything turned off.
If I'm playing a game like Jetpack Joyride or Plague Inc... 30 mins of gameplay is ~30% battery (94-63%).
What can i do? I know the "wipe battery stats" trick, in CWM recovery, but it's not a big difference.
It is possible that my unit is defective (purchase date 27 July 2012). I got EXCELLENT battery life with the ICS 4.0.4 ROM, unrooted. But if i put the old ICS back, i got the same thing...
What can i do? Is a "bad" file in my phone that corrupts everything?
Every ideea is welcomed.
Thx.

Very unlikely but a full wipe and flash a stock rom with no user apps will allow you to test before asking service centre .

I've done a superwipe before installing the ARHD13, and also done wipe in AROMA.
1%/4hours is very good, that wont get any better, it would get you 400 hours of standby time.
Your experience with bad blife when playing games makes me think the drainage is mostly caused by screen & cpu. Try lower brightness, battery save mode in Settings, and/or diffrrent cpu governor settings ( governor determines how fast cpu steps up) . It doesnt seem to be ROM relatef, more kernel related. Try a diffrrent kernel.

siyah kernel is a good one will help in your battery here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 and btw 1%/4 hours is just fine but the 2 games you mentioned drains a lot of battery that is the normal your battery is just fine and btw if you downgraded to ICS i would recommend to install the cell standby fix that may give you up to 1%/9 or 10 hours that is pretty good and here is the link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732722 download the flashable zip file and just flash it using the clock work mod

Standby time doesn't sound that bad to me, do you get that sort of drain with every game? Otherwise it might just be those games aren't well optimised so use more than you expect.
If you were experiencing terrible standby time it might be the kernel or a rouge app using data/cpu cycles/gps in the background but as that seems to be fine it would indicate this isn't the issue.
Have you tried another battery, if you are finding the same with many different ROMs it is more likely to be that your battery is just getting old. My original battery won't last a day already, stick a new battery in and the life increases massively.
I got one of these and it is much better than the standard battery http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warranty-An...PK/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1351932644&sr=8-12
I don't have many games, because i don't crack anything (only original).
But on every game i get a huge battery drain (Jetpack Joyride, Plague Inc, Jumping Slime). Most of the games, are not a source of CPU/GPU stress, but the battery drain is huge 1%/1-2 minutes.
On Wi-Fi, is not so bad... 30 mins of browsing/downloading is 8-10% battery usage.
I don't think the problem is the battery, the phone is about 4-5 months old. What else can it be?
Is there any solution for me?
-NEWS-
I have done a full wipe, and installed ARHD14 with the latest Siyah kernel.
I have done the following settings:

SCALING MAX FREQ: 1Ghz
SCALING MIN FREQ: 200Mhz
Can i go further? What can i do?
The battery is 15-20% better, if i can say...
Battery problem?
Maybe it is l like the battery problem so maybe get it replaced.
Ok, i will try to test it on a Li-ION battery analyzer, to test the real amperage of the battery.
Many people told me to replace the battery, cuz is likely to be defective.
I will buy the Seidio 3500mAh model.
