Let's forget about using 4g...say 3g network. You just want to listen to music on a run, read news off an app, check email...which build/rom gives the best battery life for the galaxy s3? The heaviest thing you would do is use google navigation
This kind of thing is more affected by your set up, synch, what apps are running, etc etc
A very cleverly disguised best Rom thread....I have you in my sights

wrong forum mate. this is for Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300
You will want to try CM9 stable version. I'm getting amazing battery life on it, lasting to 2 days in one charge.
is depends how you use
I've been testing a few out. CM9 nightly builds is indeed nice but I didnt notice any difference concerning battery-life.
Closed, battery life depends on your usage more than anything, and there is also no such thing as a "best" rom.
Edit: Also you mention 4G, you are in the wrong forum, check this sticky for where to go.

Hey guys.... I was wondering
Did you have Galaxy S before you got Galaxy S2?..... I have a heavily pimped out Galaxy S
Insanity ROM with Damian´s GTO Kernel with 1280GHz and the phone is insanely fast with 3-4 days battery life....
I was wondering if I have any reason to buy the Galaxy S2?.... I mean in terms of speed and battery life?
I know it has better Camera and flash and stuff like that :þ
Thanx
I can almost garantee the SGS2 will be quicker out the box. It will cope alot better than the SGS under load too. Having a gig of RAM is very helpful.
I thought my cm7 nexus one was super fast untill i got the sgs2.
I would buy the sgs2 simply because, if they can make an sgs as fast as an sgs2, then what the hell can they make the sgs2 as fast as?

haha yes, that is what I was thinking ..... think I will enjoy my Galaxy S this summer and buy Galaxy SII when developers have come up with fast as hell ROMs + Kernels
everything about the SGS2 [stock] is better!
but i found that my 'pimped' [lol] SGS1 with custom ROM Etc had a much longer battery life.
once devs get some good custom ROMs on here in sure the SGS II will out-do the SGS1 by miles!
switching from SGS1 to SGS II was the best thing i've done for a while!

With normal use, turn off 3G/WiFi when I´m not using it and stuff like that I can get 4 days...
I have been using my phone pretty much now, getting 2 days from it easy :$
Hi Guys,
I have recently bought Galaxy ACE and battery seems horrible. I tried many options even disabled WIFI and data , but there is no battery improvement.
I want to install some good custom ROM which can improve battery and performance.
I am not able to find any thread mentioning all ROMS available for GALAXY ace.
Guys,please recommend which ROM I can install for my ACE.
Damn it not another one. Read the rom thread and make decisions, unless you admit you have no capacity to judge and decide.

Apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16828743&postcount=11
This is my personal taste, which works good for me.
If you want to adjust it to your own needs start to read the threads posted on the dev section.
Man, its raining trolls
Try GingerReal v1.1 or any ROM with CF-Root and then enable the CPU Conservation Gov. mode..
BTW, what was your phone before SGA? If its a non-smartphone lemme tell you that you couldn't really expect much from the battery of a smartphone.
That, plus Ace's battery capacity is quite small, 1350MAh. So you'd better get used to it.
Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!
Please lemme know your personal findings!
Thanks
BTW All posts will be thanked

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.

The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.
Please! More opinions and thoughts!

Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.
Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.
i get about 17 hours with about 5.30 hours of display on samsung based ROM but then again it all depends on what you use your cell for
Thanks for all the input keep em coming!

Any screen on times for aosp? Thx!
Just to give context of what I am trying to get, here's the background information:
I had HTC Thunderbolt and the stock Verizon ROM was really bad.
ISSUE: bad battery life, crashes, random reboots, etc.
SOLUTION: I tried MANY custom ROM and after a long time, found one that works great and stuck with it for months. Although I am OK installing custom ROM, but the journey of finding which one is right is NOT something I enjoy (multiple ROM, Kernel, tweaks, etc.)
Afterwards, I bought an International version of Galaxy Note, a CARRIER-UNLOCK phone with none of the carrier crap or firmware. The stock ROM works great, so much so I don't have to install a custom ROM
- ISSUE: NONE! Great battery life, really fast and buttery smooth
- SOLUTION: NONE!
Unfortunately, my International Note went defective and it was not covered under Samsung Warranty. Not wanting to go through the same non-warranty issue, I am planning to buy the AT&T version of the Note.
So my question is:
Using the STOCK AT&T ROM, do YOU get the following:
- Good battery life (at least 8 hours - I don't mind rooting and freezing some crap)
- Fast OS performance (not laggy, etc.)
- Stable OS
I don't care about ICS or what not, I just want something that works with the above.
I am just trying to figure out if I have to go through the same thing when I had my Thunderbolt (see above) or not.
It's sort of a subjective thing so you really need to try it out for yourself. That said, most users are reporting great results with the stock ROM.

Since you don't use custom ROM, which app do you use to control the CPU? CPURoot?
Also, is your Note stable and fast performance wise? I.e. playing 3D games doesn't stutter, opening large Word or Excel file is smooth, etc.
Set CPU and yes, it's very smooth and stable. The only game I had minor issues with was temple run. I haven't had a single problem since oc'ng. After root I flashed Da g's oc'd kernel.

Hi everybody,
I just aquired a SGS 2 for 1 euro at my provider, so i gave the good old HTC Incedible S to the wife
and i have some (probably already answered a million times) questions, hehe
first one: my sgs runs really hot, is that normal? i already underclocked the CPU to 1ghz and its better now, still just wanna make sure that its ok that they get hot (no overclocking potential i guess)
second: which AOSP/AOKP rom is advisable out there in terms of call quality/reception and battery life ( i installed CM9 for now)
and last, how can i know if my SGS has NFC or not
Thanks a million
1. Temperature is normal until it raise over 52 Celsius degrees.
2. You need to test ROMs on your own.
3. i9100 does not have NFC.
okay, thanks

Resurection ROM is really great ROM. You don't have to flash kernel our modem because this ROM have it included.
My sgs2 is hot only when I'm playing games but it's not very hot. I would say warm.
Yea RR is cool but try paranoid android ROM.its based on cm 9 .Basically it makes your apps and the whole ROM have tablet Ui/phone UI per app.You can also change DPI per app.

For me, CM9 ROM works best regarding battery life, everything is stable too. Also just a suggestion drop like 7 bucks on an extra battery if you really need it I purchased one and it's great,
