Yes, you can use an app like Juice Defender to manage your power.
Since you're running CM10 on Aria, you can also try changing your CPU governor to "SMARTASS V2" in Performance settings.
Also, you can set a number of widgets to control things like brightness, wifi, 2G/3G, and sound. When I need to save battery, I use these widgets to minimize battery use (wifi off, 2G, dim brightness, silent)
Finally, make sure you turn off anything you don't use, such as GPS.

what is the best setting for our SGA?
There are no best settings!
It depends on how you use the phone & how you want it to behave. You can use it to improve performance or to save battery or both.
Hit thanks if I helped!
well, u can use some profiles.
press profiles tab, then add profile.
in that select a profile for screen off and set the max to a lower value as we dont use the phone wen the screen is off. This saves some battery. priority:100
create another profile for incall and set the max to a medium value. priority:99
and another profile for temperature>44, set a medium value. priority:98
another profile for charging usb. max slider at medium value. priority:97
profile for battery<21%. max slider at medium value. priority:96
profile for battery<6%. max slider at lower value. priority:95
note: min for all profiles set the lowest. untick stay awake in settings => development.
This is wat i use

well the setcpu settings which i suggested r jst a part of saving battery. U may get few hours more battery. But if u really want to save battery, here is wt i do
-Battery calibration has to be done. "Battery Calibration" app for the calibration:
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
-I use "Juicedefender ultimate"(Just google it and get a pirated copy if u dnt want to buy) - set to "Balanced" profile: (there is a free version, too). Bt ultimate is the best
-"Autostarts" is great for preventing useless apps from autostart. Use it to disable apps wich wil autostart.
-"Auto memory manager" is a great replacement for "Task Killer"( Task killer just kills all apps so they could start again in the background - useless!) Use it in "agressive" mode, apply the mode once and forget about it (and task killing):
-DISABLE automatic syncing and background data!
To save battery, turn off wifi & bluetooth when you are not using them.
- Install APNDroid, to easily switch 3G/EDGE data off when not needed (still allows you to receive MMS messages when data is off, and has a widget)
- Set your screen to the minimum brightness that you can (but so that the display is still bright enough to use)
- Turn off "Power Saving" in display settings (actually uses more power than it saves 9 times out of 10)
- Use auto memory manager
- uninstall 3D gallery(uses lot of battery). instead use "quickpic"(very very fast for viewing images)
-Exiting apps using the back key, home key put the apps to background task.
-use setcpu profiles wich i suggested
I do all of this, and I can get up to 2 and half days(sometimes 3 days) use without charging
Things that will drain your battery the most (highest power usage):
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- 3G/EDGE
- Screen
- Phone calls
thanks man lets see if this will work.
What setting do you guys change that effects battery power the most?

Hands down, screen brightness. Nothing comes close to eating power like the screen.
Anyone see a big difference if u turn off vibrate when texting?

Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
here is what i do:
turn down brightness (have it ALL the way down at night)
disable GPS (unless i curently need it on)
disable Auto-Sync
disable Background Data (unless i need to use Market)
disable All Animations
use Silent Mode (with all vibration turned off)
disable Phone Locator
disable LED Notifications
disable Fast Boot(if on a Sense rom)
also, i use a program called "Bloat Freezer" (it's 99 cents on Market) to freeze any extra apps that i don't need or want running.
lastly, if i find myself using a Sense ROM for whatever reason, i use "Launcher Pro" and have Bloat Freezer freeze all Sense stuff
To list, in order, the devices and functions that eat the most power inside a Tbolt:
The screen, just being on makes it number one. The radios, especially the LTE radio under heavy use and the CDMA radio at cell edges. The CPU, especially during lengthy write cycles to any NAND device such as the SDcard or eMMC. NAND memory, because it uses higher voltages than RAM to read and write, and takes more time. GPS, because it's a relatively high gain antenna that requires high quality class a signal amplification.
The display isn't anything you're ever going to get around. The radios can be managed through appropriate syncing schedules and avoid resource abuse apps that pointlessly hunt for data. The CPU is best managed with a well built kernel using a sysfs interface that allows custom voltages, choices of scaling governors, and parameter alterations to that scaling governor, as well as conservative garbage collection to keep memory resources as completely used as possible. NAND reads and writes can be kept to a minimum maximized through avoiding app killers, garbage apps such as system resource management apps, zip aligning your ROM, and running an IO scheduler at least as good as Deadline (most kernels do this by default, but some mods attempt to change this). GPS, contrary to the popular myth, is ONLY used when an app summons it's use. Some apps and widgets will abuse this feature and will seek a GPS lock a dozen times an hour or more.
ANY moving electronic part eats power, like vibration motors or speakers. Sound effects less so, but still, that's a a relatively large lump of power being used, and that also calls for the amplifier to be active and eating power.
Using my device as I please, without sacrificing features, usability or constant LTE connectivity, and implementing the theories above as best as I know how to do, I can run my phone OC'd to 1.57GHz for 12 to 14 hours consistently as a moderately heavy user, using nothing more than the stock battery which currently registers all of 1367 mAh's.
So after some research and Googling, I discovered that "Killling" your app is only worse or has no effect for your battery life. Even using apps that "save" battery only harm it even more. I've been told these were the fundamental things to save battery ever since I even got my hands on a smart phone.. Guess I've been asking the wrong people.
So, what are real ways to save battery? I'm a heavy phone user, often surfing the net or watching Netflix on the go. Dimming my screen is not enough, are there any other techniques to prevent my phone from dying? I've got an Android 4.
If you're rooted:
Underclock
Undervolt
Change cpu governor/io scheduler
Flash different ROMS and kernels
Change your modem
And a few more.
Not rooted:
Use screen filter? Lol.
Update your firmware

I am rooted, thank you for the info! I'll be looking into it~
Get bigger battery?
Turn thing off lol only kidding but turn off auto updates such as news etc
If you look at your battery stats, under settings, you'll see what uses the most battery. Usually I find that my screen uses around 70% of my battery, but if you have something else high on the list you might have a "rogue app" preventing your phone from going into sleep mode.
If your screen is the culprit you can only save 10% or so by throttling your CPU etc. The only way you can make real savings is by reducing screen brightness.
Easiest way to save battery is use gemini app manager to stop apps being able to autostart when you don't want them to as then you don't have the os having to kill off unused apps to make more free ram.
For example a lot of apps can autostart when your wifi goes on or off, when your 3G signal drops etcetera including things like facebook or google play. By changing auto start for such apps you don't have to run a task killer which also saves battery.

i use the aokp rom milestone 4 atm, and i also have come accross a fantastic battery app called "Badass Battery Monitor". its free and details very very specifically what apps are using the battery most.
I have managed to increase my battery by rooting out the apps i dont use that are using prescious power...
Also, turning off useless app permissions for apps theat really dont need them and work perfectly well without them will also save on power massively. for this i use "LBE Privacy Guard" works an absolute charm
I have widget where I can turn off Internet connection, set brightness, GPS etc. Internet stand-by mode uses damn much battery... And when you don't use Internet, you can put on 2G, it also saves battery.
This may not benefit you if you are a heavy user but I find the feature on my Droid 3 that turns off 3G after 15 minutes of inactivity saves battery and also saves data. Not sure if this is a standard Android feature or if it would even benefit you.
Here with LG P990 and I don't have option to turn off 3G aftre some minutes... but if/when you didn't need high speed you can choose only 2G network (for example when needed receive only notification): this save a lot your battery.
Moreover you can verify battery consumption to see if there are autostart apps from your vendor than have heavy power consumption (for me there was OnScreenPhone) and use gemini app manager as explained previously.
In the end you can find out custom ROM for your device usually optimized for smoothness and power consumption.
First apps I download when switching to a new Rom to get a little control on battery are
Adfree- Get rid of ads, they eat a bit of battery.
DroidWall- Control what apps are able to access Internet under separate "Mobile Data" and "Wifi" Conditions.
Screenfilter- Dim the screen below factory settings.
LED's hack- Turn off the Softbutton Backlights (home/menu/back/search), even though they don't seem like it may eat up your battery, it is an extra 'light' that's on, even though it may be minimal, it's still drawing power.
Also, It maybe just a Photon thing cuz of the Pentile display but I always use if not completely Black background image, a dark one because the 'lighter' or 'whiter/colorful' images take more battery, same reason I always look for 'Inverted' or black themed apps too.
Turn OFF any 'Haptic feedback' settings on your phone (Keyboard, Phone DialPad, Screen/UI Interactions, etc..)
For Calls (Ringtone) and Notification settings, don't have them set to 'Ring and Vibrate' or just 'Vibrate' because the Vibration Mechanism will eat alot if battery. Some may argue that the Notification 'Vibrate' setting and even the Haptic feedback (which does in fact use the phones Vibration mechanism) would not kill battery because it's a 'quick' or 'minimal' use (depending on use) and but if your keyboard had the Haptic feedback on, thinking of how many times your touch the keyboard for even on Text message, try will add up and help kill the battery.
Turn OFF any/all Homescreen/UI Animations
Turn OFF any Auto Sync setting and instead have APPS sync in a specified interval, (Of course Depending on how important the information that's being pulled like Email) , Could be set to like every 4 hours to sync an so on.
Manually input Date/Time settings instead of "Get network provided values" because it'll be one less thing pulling from Internet.
Set Screen Timeout to 30 Secs and Never have Auto-Brightness set, instead use a brightness toggle of some sort (Stock 'Power Control' Widget works well) to only have it as bright as you need to view in current conditions.
Open the Google 'Talk' application and uncheck the 'Auto log-in' setting, and then 'Sign out'. For some reason this always runs in the background and eats alot of battery.
If I think of more things ill post them
Hope these tips help, if they do don't forget to hit the thanks button thanks.

There are many ways...
Switch on WiFi, 3G at only using, and close the not using application, decrease display brightness etc...
And if you root your phone, you may change CPU governor, or build.prop tweaks, script tweaks... Or change to custom kernel or custom ROM.
I forgot that 'LED's hack' is not available in the market anymore, I attached it below.
i hv just downloaded screen-filter lets c how that works...
Juice defender
Try JuiceDefender by Latedroid. It helps a lot to turn off things you don't need when you don't need them. Sorry I can't post the link- I'm new to XDA
my experience:
undervolting does not help much. you have to test a lot for only a little bit of improvement.
in my opinion you will not really remark it.
but what helps, i think, is set cpu speed, if possible. for example i use samsung galaxy s2 where cpu has max 1200mhz. i set max cpu freq to 800mhz. with a good rom (hydrogenics f.e.) android keeps running smooth with 800mhz and battery lasts noticeable longer.
I agree that undervolting doesn't help so much.
Like in up post, best thing to save Your battery is to change cpu power. You can also use diffrent cpu govenor : good for battery are smartassv2 and power save. Just need to have rooted phone and download app, fx. Antutu CPU Master or Set CPU. U can also make your cpu speed profiles.
what do i need to install on my SE live with walkman to extend my battery life? i just bought this unit a few days agos
try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lYXN5LmJhdHRlcnkuc2F2ZXIiXQ..
Though it does not necessarily extend the battery life, it just minimizes battery usage by disabling apps and unnecessary network configurations while you are not using your phone,
for me, the best way is to lower the display brightness.
You can't get much from it anyway as LWW has quite small battery.
Most custom ROM have better battery life, Hybrom is the most stable and similar to stock.

well to extend battery life you can follow few tips
1.make the phone ringing volume to 50%
2.decrease the brightness level as per your requirements
3.disable the wifi or data services when not in use
4.turn off your phone when you are in personal meetings or where there is no network coverage

Turning off is not needed, airplane mode is enough.
Also turn off GPS and bluetooth when not needed.

You could use JuiceDefender or if you use Dolphin for browsing, install Dolphin Companion. I can easily get around +3 hours more worktime with Dolphin Companion
and you can also set the network selection mood to manual, if not the handset will keep looking for networks if you are in a no network area.
and yes airplane mood is the better option. i'd suggest use the status switch(power control) widget in one of your home screens. and then you can switch off the wifi, gps, data and aslo the backlight too.
keep the backlight turned off if you are at indoors. youi'll need a backlight only if theres high light intensity around you
hope this helped
root your phone,install SETCPU and underclocked your cpu to 368 max and 245 min. youll totaly increase your battery life dramatically.. i can play angry birds space smoothly using this frequency but you need toincrease frequency when playing other games like temple run. im sure it will help
Hey all, just wanted to post some quick general questions. So first off, I wanted to know if you all use auto-brightness or if you use the brightness widget to adjust the brightness based on ambient light. Second, when it comes to closing out apps from memory, do you only use the recent apps capacitive button, or do you also go into settings>battery and click on all of the available X's to the right of each app to close out the apps that way as well? Just asking these questions as I'm trying to maximize my daily battery life on top of LK kernel. Thanks!

I usually allow Sense to handle the killing of task. I know some thinks it does so very aggressively, but it seems fine to me.
As for brightness, I leave mine set at 50% and call it a day. My phone goes off the charger at 6:30 a.m and goes back on at 4:00pm. I'm usually around 50/55% when I get home to my charger. That's using Twitter religiously as well as Google Now for scheduling appointment. Also checking forums.
One battery saving tip I have for you though is this: Put your phone in Airplane mode if you know you won't be using for a while or if where you are currently doesnt have a very good signal.

Some things I do when Im away from home:
- Don't use autosync (put the sync widget on a home screen and when you want to sync your stuff just press it and it will sync everything once when you need it)
- Use wifi as much as possible
- Keep brightness at a comfortable level but try to keep it around 50% or less. I keep mine at about 25~30%
I use the recent apps button and clear out apps when im done with them (I can't really say if this actually kills the apps or not or how effective it is for saving battery)
Turn off unnecessary syncs. Do you really need facebook to update every 30min? Weather to update every hour? Evernote to update every hour?
Disable those syncs (especially facebook), and I usually see a saving of 20% by the end of day.
Well what I do is, since I have root access, I use juice defender to control my auto sync, CPU speed, usage and brightness. And since I did that my battery is around 20 percent at 10 pm. And I take it off charge at around 6 30 am.

For me: 1) As mentioned, first check those syncs 2) I don't have Facebook installed, if I want to check it, I do thru the browser 3) I use the Power Contol widget, it has the screen brightness toggle. I use it at 0-15% in the evening indoors and morning, 1/3 generally and Auto during the day in my truck. If I'm going to use the internet for a couple hours session, I'll tether to my HP Mini, saves screen time on the phone. At times during the workday and I have no use for the internet nor have any impending emails I absolutely need to receive, I will turn off Mobile data, that alone will save you tons of battery and you will still receive text messages and phone calls. If I'm in a fringe area I will do the same, turn off Mobile data or watch your battery drain right before your eyes. If you use Airplane mode, I'm sure you know you won't be able to text of receive/make calls. GSam Battery Monitor is a good app to monitor your battery usage and what apps are being used. Oh, and yes, I just use the Recent Apps to wipe out apps I'm done with and let Sense handle the rest.
I just used Juice defender to manage my phone. Works well.
