I have been flashing back and forth ROM and Mods... I felt my battery getting worse compare to stock (stock Rom removed lot of ATT craps and other unused app).
Now doesn't what Rom i use: S8, Unname and CM7. My battery died at the end of the day which should last 1.5 days as my normal use.
Hmmm... well I jumped onto the ship already.
But I have to thanks for all developers that cook Rom. You guys are best.
Battery lifestyle will improve once you build up cache. Was battery life good when you first got your phone? Probably not. After awhile battery life gets a bit better.

I noticed the same thing when I flashed from UnNamed to S8.
I followed some other users' suggestions and reflashed at 100% battery life, allowed the battery to discharge all the way until the phone died, then charged all the way to 100% again without taking it off the charger. I just got 25 hours with moderate usage and about 4 hours of screen-on time.
download the batteryCalibration app from the market, it requires root and makes you charge to 100% first. After that let it drain and it should do better after a couple cycles.
If you delete your battery stats in clockwork the phone relearns them and works better. But it will be ****ty for awhile

None of these do jack on our phone. I've read the kernel source for our fuel gauge driver, clearly none of you haven't and are blindly applying HTCisms to a Samsung phone even though I've posted MANY times that diddling with batterystats does NOTHING WHATSOEVER on this phone.
If someone's experiencing bad battery life after flashing a new ROM, especially a debloated one like Unnamed or S8, they most likely installed a drainer app.
If you run Skype, nuke that crap from your phone ASAP. It's a known battery drainer, and it's particularly insidious because of how it drains the battery - the usage shows up as Android OS but it's Skype that is at fault.
Hi,
I have been reading that the beta's have a memory leak issue. Also this causes a battery drain. I have had the CM9 beta installed for 22hrs and my battery has dropped to 86% from 100%. Did I get lucky?
Or maybe the battery drain hasn't set in yet. I am unable to figure out which, I will monitor the battery progress for the next few days.
In the meantime I was wondering whether anyone in the forum could help explain what I am observing (extrememly good battery life).
As always Thanks joker and the devs for such an amazing ROM.

I'm on awesome club beta of jokers cm9, and my battery, dare I say, is pretty awesome too. My theory however is that like atrix builds, Bluetooth causes the memory leak. So heavy bt users suffer worst from this problem. But I do know that the more often cache is cleared the less of a problem memory leak is.

So as long as we don't use Bluetooth, the battery life should be fine? Ive only had CM9 beta 0.1.0 installed for a day and 6 hours with low data usage and I am still at 49%.

I do not know what you mean by low but when I ran few speedtests on 3G I found my battery drain rapidly. I think your battery life seems alright. Try calibrating your battery. It might help.

Now it makes sense. I find my photon having very good battery life. I was wondering if I had turned on a magical switch. Apparently I havent. Thanks for the reply. Wanted someone to confirm.
- Harakiri
I had that same problem when I first flash cm9 v2, my battery would drain in like 4 hours. What I did is wipe, formatted everything factory reset back to factory ROM. Then I flashed cm9 v0.1.0 2d, then flashed cm9 v2, gapps v10, flashed keyboard &sdcard fix, then Oleg-petr-cm9-v2-1.3GHz. Now I get great battery life and everything that's is supposed to work is no problem at all. And I use my phone all threw the day, calling data and txing. Hope that helps..

I never use bluetooth and I'm getting horrible battery life with cm9... It drains about 30% overnight. (6 hours) and with juice defender activated about 20&%.... I've calibrated over and over again my battery but it doesn't doesn't get any better, I've even installed watchdog and betterbatterystatts to find out what is causing this... Both reported heavy battery drain from phone idle and suspend respectively.
Any thoughts on how may I solve this??? I love ICS and i don't wanna go back to gb. HELP ME PLEASE
I am having noticeably much worse battery life on Jokersax CM9 Beta 0.6.1, and I likewise hate to go back to stock, but the battery life on stock was tremendously better.
just hold off patiently till ICS drivers are released. They built with what they had, and magic outta the air. once they have the ICS drivers for the photon, you will see a whole new CM9 beast.
This thread it's kinda old, it was an issue with one of the alpha builds if I remember correctly. Just an fyi.
After flashing it usually takes a couple of charges for the battery to "settle in." Are you flashing on a full (90+%) battery? I have never wiped battery stats and always get 10 to 16 hours on a charge.

I installed the Resurrection 1.0 rom yesterday, but 30 mins web browsing this morning dropped the battery to 80%!
Which ICS SGS2 rom gets the best battery life?
It's best you try them for yourself, Just keep testing until you find one that is suitable. I personally, keep changing between CM9, WanamLite, Foxhound, Resurrection (Maybe you didn't install it correctly? Worked fine for me).
So far WanamLite is just right for me (Different ROMs have different advantages ) It's also Quite good on Battery Life.
Definitely installed ok, not much you can do wrong installing it tbh
Never heard of Wanamlite or Foxhound. Had been using Checkrom 2.3.6, but fancied trying out ICS to see what it was like.
After flashing a new ROM quite often you need to drain the battery completely and charge it a couple of times before you really get the best battery life from it.
I'd drained it last night and charged it fully, maybe I'll try it a couple more times before changing again.
Mind you shouldn't be hard draining it at this rate

80% Battery consumption after browsing for 30min doesn't sound right, out of curiosity, did you notice a sudden drop in battery life all at once or was it gradual throughout when browsing, Just asking coz I know some ROMs have an ICS bug where the battery would register wrong % values all of a sudden esp after taking it off charge, the quick fix for this is to take out the battery for about 10sec + then reinsert it.
It was gradual throughout the 30 minutes, but between stopping browsing and putting the phone away and getting into work it dropped another 8% or so down to 72% with no activity.
Might just be calibration errors. Hope so, it's a nice rom, very smooth and stable (the qualities I look for most tbh).

Cool!
Btw you can find a list of SGS 2 ROMs over here http://www.galaxys2roms.com/
quite nice to see at a glance most popluar (not all) SGS 2 ROMs.
Just try them until you find one that meets your needs.

I tried Vigor360, and though I hate Sense, it was.. okay...except battery life was worse than on my Thunderbolt. I've tried flashing different kernels but more problems usually arrise out of the blue and I have NO CLUE which kernels are actually good , good as in they actually male an effort to improve the battery life. I'm currently on a CM9 ROM and holy hell! The keyboard lags and battery life is ATROCIOUS ! I haven't even hardly installed any apps!
I tried Newt's One XXX, v5.1.1 but couldn't stand the minor bugs, but I assume battery life on that ROM is way worse than on Vigor360 (since usually, the higher the version of Sense, the worse it is on the battery) when I had a galaxy Nexus, the picture quality was a joke, but I made it well through the day with it! I'm not getting an extended battery. The phone is thick enough -.-
My current usage is about 7 hours,an hour and a half of screen time, battery is at 7%. I can sort of stand sense 3.6 so long as it isn't theme. What ROM/kernel combo do you guys use to get through the day, or did I make a mistake getting this phone? (No offense)

going to need some things from you:
1. are you s-on or off
2. what firmware are you on
3. do you like sense or aosp more
edit: 7 and 1/2 hours screen time. that is awesome for the REZ. the HD screen is what kills the battery the most. if you can get 7 hours then bravo.
He said he is averaging 7hrs of use with 1.5hrs screen time which is pretty bad. Believe it or not, newts one xxx has probably the best battery life for the rez. I can easily get 14hrs with 3hrs screen time with stock battery. Yesterday I got 17 hrs with 5.5hrs screen time on extended battery. That is probably the best Rom atm and sense 4+ is much more appealing to the eye. All I can say is if you don't like sense, you bought the wrong phone. People will forget about this phone before aosp/aokp is perfected, even though they are making great progress. I can never get any kernels to work right either. Leaving stock kernels is usually best. As with any android phone, you have to work for battery life

Wow!! The big reason I have this phone is.. well..
Had a Nexus, broke it and sold it for $75, relative let me use an iPhone 4... I lasted a week before caving and bought a Thunderbolt for $90.
I couldn't stand the ancient android OS and the phone was having random data drops, so I got Verizon to replace it with another thunderbolt. The replacement had the same issue + the vibrate motor decided when and when not to work. The guy on the phone was like "well, since you've had several replacements of this phone, we're gonna see about sending g you a different phone to resolve your issues once and for all, but the phone you receive won't come with a battery cover or battery." I told him I had a battery cover and battery for a Rezound and asked if that could be sent to me, he said "sure, we should be able to do that."
This phone killed my 32GB microSD card :'(
I have S-OFF. I prefer AOSP, but they seem get get home horrendous battery life.

When asking for help you usually shouldn't trash every kernel/rom made available to us by our hard working devs. Also, your theory on the sense number being higher = higher battery usage is way false. Sense 4 & sense 4.1 were actually designed to decrease battery usage and lag so I would stick with one of those. Also, try underclocking your cpu and changing governors.

People need to stop judging battery life based on screen-on time and hours of use. It varies per person depending on how many accs/apps are syncing. I am tired of all this "better battery" and comparing usage time. If you want more battery, stop syncing on all apps/account. I wish people would stop posting screenshots of their usage. It just means they don't use their phone as much in terms of accs and apps running. Stock rom/kernel best for stability.

It might vary somewhat, but screen-on time and total time are still good yardstick level indicators of battery charge longevity. It's not like when you sync your google account your battery only lasts 1/3 as long - it's maybe a 10% difference, depending on your signal strength, if you're on wifi, etc.

Try reformatting the sd card on your computer via a card reader.
Rage ROM 1.9.1 is a good ROM, nice and smooth. I got about 2 and a half hours of screen on time with that ROM and Snuzzos Funky Kernel. Very nice combination.
If you want to be real fancy you can build a CM10 ROM. There's a guide for it in the Dev section. (Well, the guide is to make CM9, but it's easy to modify the commands to make it build CM10 instead). I get about 3 hours and 15 mins of screen on time on average with the stock battery, no kernel modifications or anything fancy. Brightness is at 25%. I ran it with brightness on 100% for a day and got about 2 hrs and 15 mins of screen on time.

As much as you dislike this method of determining battery life, it is really the only way to gauge battery life on a forum. You are right that it also depends on apps syncing and such but a Rom that can get 12hrs with 3hrs screen time is more battery friendly than a Rom that can do that same12hrs but with 1.5hrs screen on time with the same setup and usage.

How much battery account sync uses is dependent on just how popular you are we have push sync. This isn't Android 1.5 wen're talking about. Push sync uses very little battery.
And sure, I could build a CM10 ROM, but won't it basically be useless cause most things will be broken or barely working?
I've been running it as a daily driver since the 12th. It's surprisingly stable. No random FCs or anything. There are some graphical artifacts while watching streaming video like on YouTube and Project Butter isn't working, but it's still pretty smooth. Bluetooth calling isn't working either, but nor is it on AOSP ICS either. That's pretty much it for problems.

So I am currently running Carbon Rom on my phone. Whenever I lock my phone and I unlock it, in the notifications, it says that its preparing my storage everytime. But now, it says that my SD card is blank or unsupported but it works perfectly fine my computer. I've had this problem for about 2 months now. I've already tried changing the rom and clearing the cache. Also, I tried to take out my SD and put it back in but not luck. So please help on that. Also, I was just wondering, so as you already know, I'm running the Carbon Rom on my phone. It's a great rom but the battery life sucks. I would like a rom similar to Carbon that is 4.3 or 4.2 that is very smooth and also has great battery life. I tend to use my phone a lot, and I know that battery life on androids suck but some other roms had much better battery life on them, but I didn't really like them much. Thanks for all your help!
Played with Carbon and other roms, none are close to the battery life of Shostock roms (I've run 2,3, currently 4). And SS is about tops for smoothness and stability. Some of these roms are so much worse on battery life that it's pointless to use them if you actually "use" your phone throughout the day, unless you have it plugged in everywhere you go.
Far as the SD card not sure there, did it do it on stock or any other rom?

So I switched to Shostock 4.0. It's pretty smooth but my battery life isn't so hot. Maybe I just have to give it a day or two. And the problem isn't happening now. But usually, the problems comes after about a week of using a rom. Also, sometimes, there's random reboots.

I do know Sho roms are always tops for battery life of the i777 roms. Never had random reboots or anything on any of the Sho versions. There could be something else wrong with the phone, rogue apps, something killing on gps power, battery gone bad. These phones are two years old now, and a lot of people have had the battery itself go bad before that time, I just replaced mine like a month ago. Just randomly started getting worse and worse phone life over the past couple months.
I keep GPS on all the time, and sync etc, only thing I adjust is WiFi set to stay on in sleep mode only when plugged in (Android has always had that battery sapping wifi bug). You should try running stock though for maybe a week or two and see if the issues occur, if they do, it could be hardware issue.

Random reboots are usually due to a kernel issue, rather than a ROM issue.

Everyone will get different results, period. I get great battery life with Carbon, drop maybe 40-50% over the course of a day. Much of the building I work in, is a black hole when it comes to cell coverage, so I'm happy with my results.

So your not using your phone since there's no cell coverage? That's the thing I'm on my phone all day for work/personal, ton of calls, emails, text, browsing etc, used a bunch of roms but always come back to Sho on the i777. Have two employees with i777s running Sho too, same results, none of the roms they used had the standby and in use efficiency. Not to say the roms are bad, Carbon is cool, just wish they all had better life.
I will say if you notice a big difference like I did over last few months, time to replace the battery. Sammy shipped crap batteries in these phones, and it's a known issue that majority fail before two years are up. Mine did and my employees did lol

There could be something else wrong with the phone, rogue apps, something killing on gps power, battery gone bad. These phones are two years old now, and a lot of people have had the battery itself go bad before that time, I just replaced mine like a month ago. Just randomly started getting worse and worse phone life over the past couple months.
I keep GPS on all the time, and sync etc, only thing I adjust is WiFi set to stay on in sleep mode only when plugged in (Android has always had that battery sapping wifi bug). You should try running stock though for maybe a week or two and see if the issues occur, if they do, it could be hardware issue.

Yeah, so, I switched back to jeboo kernel but the battery life sucks! I'm going to wait a day or two and see if the problem goes away. Also, on this rom, I also sometimes when I unlock my phone, it always says preparing SD card. Its annoying.

If your having these same issues across different roms like you are, run stock for like a week at least and see what happens. Not sure what you mean by switched to Jeboo as Sho4 comes stock with Jeboo tweaked for it.
Also if battery life is sucking that bad especially on roms known for battery life, 99% sure its time to replace the battery. Samsung shipped crap batteries in this phone that frequently die between 1.5-2 years. I've replaced mine, two employees have, few other i777 friends have etc.
How long have you been owned the phone's battery? The above poster mentioned battery usage which (if you're still rocking a day 1 release S2) the battery is at the 2 year mark. Might be time to get a replacement battery.
