Hey guys,
I,Ace King 34,made this thread here for you guys to share your SGA's Battery life so that Users who want ROMs that give Good battery life can be helped.
So all you have to do is Capture a screenshot of your SGA's battery life and post it here Alongwith the Name of the Custom ROM that you are using,Scripts that you are using,Kernel that you are using and the CPU configurations that you did.
So first I will start.
I am on Apocalypse Final ROM by itasoulas and I use the Adrenaline Engine 4.2b for CM and I use Firekernel-22072012 And my CPU configuration is Max 806 MHz,Min 245 MHz and governor is Ondemand(many prefer SmartAssV2 though,but I stopped using it)
Attached is the Screenshot of my Battery life On Apocalypse Final ROM.
Your Screenshots alongwith your Personal adjustments(ROM,kernel,scripts,CPU config) will help people seeking Good Battery Backup giving ROMs and also it will lead to ways on how we can achieve good battery backup(with the help of scripts ofcourse )
So start uploading your Screenshots Now.
Note to MOD:-
Hey Mr.Tom please don't close this thread.
I think it will be helpful to users seeking good Battery backup giving ROMS(Atleast then the users(mostly newbies and noobs) won't make new threads like 'Which is good battery life giving ROM' or 'Suggest me some good battery backup giving ROMs')
However at any instance of time,if you feel that this thread is going out of control,then you can close this thread immediately
I thought there was already a thread for this.

Battery threads like these always misleads people since people are trying to brag about their max up-time. It would be better if people included information as setting, rom and daily usage.
On track: My phone usually last around +/-15hours. Data off usually when I don't use it, with below average internet usage, only checking up stuff now and then.
Listen to a lot of music and usually below 100 texts a day. A few calls now and then as well.
I'm using Apocalypse (final) and setCPU(max 844MHz) to enchant it with profiles

What matters the most is screen on time, screen brightness and connection type (2g/3g/wifi/airplane-mode, data on/off). Talk-time matters IF you talk much. Screen and internet on 3g are eating most of your battery.
But in the end everything matters and none of the results are really comparable. So if someone's battery last a little longer then yours, you just don't worry about it. Tomorrow yours might last longer.
Usually 12-14 hours when I am at home (using wifi, using no mobile data, 40% brightness). Usually 6 hours when I am outside (using mobile data, 100% brigthness, sometimes GPS). I have a special pouch for my phone, with pockets for another two batteries. When I am going outside, I have two fully charged batteries with me. 8^) So I can kill green piggies for hours with no fear of no energy. 8^)

if u use ur mobile just as its meant for 2 say do phone call, sms thats it
and not as a gaming console or a music player, u will also get 2 or 3 days or even more, sorry just joking
ps- try a cpl of good kernels like fluxxi, siyah or thoravukk for example if ur rom supports the same and see which is giving a better batt for u over and above the one u already have. mean 2 say is be ur own engineer

Some tips;
- Use a custom rooted rom with removed bloatware
- Freeze/remove unused apps (With titanium backup)
- Use auto brightness
- Check your sync settings
- Turn of bluetooth/gps/wifi if you are not using them
- Undervolt/underclock your phone
.. and there are many more but those are some important battery savers.
Hi All,
Coming from a iPhone4, I noticed that even overnight when the phone is in standby the % drop in the battery is greater on the SGS3.
I am currently running the Omega V25 ROM and the battery drain when in standby is about 10-13% over 7hrs in standby whilst I am sleeping. I read a few days back on the Omega forum (cannot find it again) one of the users saying how great the battery life was for them...something like 1% drop over a few hours in standby....do you know if there is some trick to get such good performance?
I have used good programs like Juice Defender which brings it back to on par with the iPhone4, but does get a bit annoying sometimes waiting for the network connections to restart. Sometimes it even refuses to restart the network which is VERY annoying. I was wondering if there was something I am missing that can get great battery life (IN STANDBY) without 3 party programs like Juice Defender etc....
Thanks,
Ray

Go offline on Gtalk, Turn off Wifi/mobile data while not in use. Other thing I do is Download CPUspy on Google Play to verify the Cpu Usage.
With power saving mode enabled I loose only 1-2% of battery juice over night. (Mobile data disabled, gsm only mode).

First thing you do is turn off the WIFI or 3G(Mobile data) if you are not using it.

What siyah did you flash? You must flash the kernel for jb leak which is 1.6 and not 1.5.3 because it is for ICS rom. Did you perform wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache?

Hi!
I gotta advise you that juicedefender/other battery defending apps hurt more than it should actually help. Think of it this way, juicedefender is also an app. App=RAM consumption, High RAM consumption=High battery consumption.
Also, flashing a custom kernel can help out. There are tweaks which you can do with custom kernels.
E.G. *Undervolting [if you are a total noob on this, then you might read thoroughly how to do this]
You can have manual settings to low screen brightness, not go to vibrate mode, led notif off, etc. And more importantly, CLOSE APPS THAT RUN IN BACKGROUND Such as: Facebook
You can never really rely that let's say, Person1 is having awesome battery life with KernelX because it depends mainly on your SETTINGS and STANDARD USAGE
I hope this will help you out

Well, I think it happened cause I put 1.5.2 siyah which located at Omega Kitchen...So I need to find siyah 1.6? then go Recovery > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache? Is that so??

That's the reason why. Yes you can try that. Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing siyah 1.6. If it does not help then the only option you can make is to full wipe and flash again the rom

Here are some tips:
1. Put wi-fi policy to never. It's in wi-fi settings.
2. Disable unnecessary sync (FB, google, email etc)
3. Install custom kernel, like others said.
4. Install better battery stats and find what's causing your phone awake (wake locks)

Whether Juice defender helps or not depends on your usage scenario and the app configuration (it literally has tons of options)
High ram usage equalling high battery coumption is bollocks. Each and every single operating system out there will try to fill the whole ram because it actually SAVES power and makes the device FASTER.

Ram uses the same amount of power whether it is full or empty.
Having it filled with apps saves CPU cycles and therefore battery.

Hi,
I am using Omega v34 ROM and battery very, very bad. On stock rom I had, at least one full day of usage, but now it is a figt to go through working day (7-9h).
I wiped battery stats following a procedure, but that didn't help at all.
And one more thing TouchWizz is crashing at least 5 times a day.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You would need to provide more information.
Have you check what's draining your battery? (you can find a general list in settings--> battery)
You should also try to use better battery stats and ask on the BBS thread/forum for help there to see what the culprit is.
I have between 8hrs to almost 2 days depending on usage.
It seems like screen is using allmost 40% of battery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
set it to automatic brightness. Also use better battery stats and do a full day or night log and ask for help in their forum to see what might be draining your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As mentioned above, sounds like you might have a wakelock somewhere. You can identify any rogue apps with better battery stats and then uninstall or freeze them. Try using power saving mode, you shouldn't really notice any decrease in performance but your battery life will improve. You should be able to get screen on time off about 3 - 4 hours.

Issues connecting to unsecured wifi hotspots
Using Omega v34 and love it! but when I try to connect to my unsecure wifi at work it won't connect. Please help
There seems to have been quite a lot of discussion regarding issues with battery life on Omega 34, in the Omega thread. Because of battery issues that some people are experiencing, Chris_84 has a suggestion in his FAQ (question 27).
You could try a different kernel. Apparently the Yank kernel is pretty good for battery life (I use Siyah version 1.8.4 with Omega 34 and get brilliant results, but then I don't use my phone that heavily. The Siyah kernel allows you to tweak some settings that help with battery).
Also, a lot of comments in the Omega thread talk about installing BBS (Better Battery Stats, as per the comments by mputtr) and posting the log file into the BBS thread (or even in the Omega thread).

Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases

Get zerolemon battery i can get 11/12 hours screen on time with juice to spare!
The problem of the battery duration is one of the Most important things We look at when We are going to change rom and i was Just thinking to build up a Topic about this. My idea was to put a screen of the battery menù and maybe a CPU spy one, Just to understand how the Phone has been used during the day. At The moment i haven't got any screen but i will load one As Soon As possible.
Whatever i used the echoe rom v5 and if i use it not too much i reach the 14 hours of working time. But As i Said i will load a screen capture.
Hope you would like to Take part at this di Topic
