Android 4.03
Sense 3.6
Software Number: 7.00.605.2 71ORD
Kernel 3.0.16-gb1f6156
The flash for BAMF_MECHA_ICS_08212012 is running fine, but my battery life is back to about half a day (like when it was when the TB was first released). Has anyone running this ROM experienced the same issue? how (if at all) did you fix it?

Kinda beats the purpose of having a 4G phone... not to mention an annoyance having to turn it on every time I use a web based app.
I've got to the point where I only use it if I'm downloading a big app or something. The difference in web page loading is barely noticeable. I don't get 4g in most of the areas that I work so I leave it turned off most of the time anyway.

Yeah that 3-5 seconds it takes to turn it back on can be mindblowing. You would be amazed at how good battery improves on all roms when doing this. I even turn network off. I got 12+ hours out of the leak with stock battery.

With the nusense Rom I easily get 8 hrs or more with 3g data enabled and usage.

You can't fix the battery drain. It's a kernel issue and no way around it. If anyone gets over 12 hours, I'd suspect they were being less than honest by saying that...

This. On a 14HR day, I put my bolt into airplane mode for 6 hours; it drank the battery like no other. The jester/ liquid Roms are much better on battery life.

If that's directed at me, I did try it, for a couple of weeks. It's a fact, the kernel NEVER allows the CPU to enter sleep mode. Airplane mode, turning off LTE, etc will not help. I've done that plus turned off syncing, GPS, and more and had 30-40% battery drop while I was asleep in bed.
Well nusense had practically all of the ics leak taken out and he is uploading a rebase from the desire s official build so well see how much better the battery life is. If you think about it. Liquid has been working on his build for like 5 or 6 months, maybe longer and nusense may actually surpass it soon in stability. It's almost just as smooth now.

I'm getting 2-3% drain per hour with moderate use and about 1% per hour when idle. I'll take it.
I guess the battery isn't that bad...
The guy who got that result probably is using an extended battery, has barely any apps and no syncing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
I've had no quarrels with the battery life on the phone. Then again it's regularly on the charger but the battery drain isn't bad at all. Listening to music with the screen off only drains 3-4% an hour.
I feel bad because it doesn't have an fm radio
Those ridiculous screen shots are not practical. Sure I can disable everything, freeze apps with tibu, then leave my phone alone for a few days, but this is a phone. On heavy days of use it easily outlasts the captivate.

Same here. Show me screen time usage comparisons not when its collecting dust.
Throw an I777 into airplane mode and you'll easily beat that.
I think if I turn my SGS2 off and lay it there for 200 hours, it probably still has 50% left when I first turn it back on. Let me capture that and compare.

Hello all!!! This is a Mod that will fix the Bluesleep issue seen on our current Cyanogen Mod 9 build and all ICS Based Roms.
What is Bluesleep you ask?
Bluesleep is a wakelock that is an error on part of the Bluetooth System missing a few binaries. Even if you have bluetooth disabled, you will be affected by this bug!!!
Ok, so how does Bluesleep affect us?
Bluesleep is a wakelock. Wakelocks prevent your system from going into Deep Sleep. From my testing, this is the ONLY wakelock that is still prevalent on our system.
Why did this bug occur?
Normally, an ICS kernel would take care of all of this. But due to us still having a Gingerbread kernel, we still need these binaries.
What are the benefits from flashing this?
Oh, only BETTER BATTERY LIFE! As of now, our phone sits at an idle state of 216Mhz. By flashing this, it enables Deep Sleep, which saves a substantial amount of Battery Life when your phone isn't in use.
Sounds great, but there's got to be a catch.
From my testing, there are no bugs introduced from this fix.
Wait, how thoroughly was this tested??
It was tested for a solid day of good use on MIUI.
It was (sadly) only tested for a few hours on CM9, however my phone did reach Deep Sleep.
SIGN ME UP!!
Download Link
Instructions:
YOU MUST BE ON AN ICS ROM! (CM9, AOKP, Paranoid Android or MIUI)
Boot into BSR
Flash the bluesleep.zip
No need to wipe Data or Cache
ENJOY BETTER BATTERY LIFE!!!
Credit goes to olegfusion and Th3Bill for their findings!! All I did was package it and make the flashable script.
NICE WORK! i wondered why my screen turned off then on so much thought it was smart screen off now i know
Gonna flash this right now thanks so much!

Flashed last night, CPU Spy still says deep sleep is unused, though I was charging. Will the phone go into deep sleep while charging?
Edit: Answered my own question. Phone will not DS while charging. After unplug and reboot, works great. Well done! Can't wait to see what kind of battery I get out of this thing now.

OK guys so I see people getting 7-9hrs screentime on 4g and I don't nearly get that. In just 32minutes of use I lost 7%. I'm on 3g no WiFi gps or BT. Here are some screenshots. I tried clean ROM and jellybeanz with Perseus and stock kernels. Any idea? I'd like as much screen time as possible.
Thanks so much

This may sound rediculous but I notice somedays my battery runs down a lot quicker than other days. Doesnt make sense but thats how it seems to me. Are you using the cable that came with the phone and plugging into a wall outlet?
3g eats a lot more battery from what I have seen...LTE and Wifi are the easiest on battery. That being said I still don't think 3g should be causing that much drain...I bet you have a rogue app since the app usage shows 50%

Download better battery stats and grant it super user rights. Let your phone sit for a couple hours (without touching it) and pay your read out from it here. It seems like you have an app going crazy, but just simply looking at your installed apps won't help.

Open it to grant super user. Then let your phone sit for at least an hour or two. It's best overnight. Then post your kernel wake lock, partial wake locks and alarms.

You had the phone on for 9hrs and only dropped to 93%? Why r u complaining.? 40 minutes screen time at 93% after 9hrs off charger isn't bad at all. If I'm seeing that right.
thats correct, but while using it for a straight 60mins, it drops over 15%

I have personally messed with the UC OC UV OV and to tell you the truth if you want a guarantee for great battery life I would flash Beans14 r0m with Sabre kernel.
And don't mess with any OC UC and you will be very content as I am with the battery life.

You can't really base it off of only a few hours after a flash. You should at least cycle the battery once, then make your decision, no earlier than the second day.
Perseus gave me the best battery life of them all honestly. YMMV but at least give it some time to "settle".

Ok guys. Thanks for all the responses. I am not on clean rom ace and doing good. But with my limited experimentation with different kernals. I tried to do most for at least one battery cycle and still the best battery life was (is) with stock. Although sabre came close. Not sure why but, in reality I charge my phone every night anyway so as long as I get 13 hours im good. I also have never used power saver so I assume that would increase thr life. I know when I enabled that on my gs3 I was able to reach 1 day and a few hours with 3 hours screen time.

On both of my Sprint S4's the battery was absolute garbage whether stock, rooted, tweaked, custom ROM, etc... I could hit 1d if I was lucky and had too much going on that day making it a rarity to even turn my phone on. First experience with the Verizon S4 was 1d 12h. Incredible. The performance of this phone is better than the Sprint version was too. Didn't think that was possible but I'm far from complaining.
This was on CleanRom 1.5 with stock kernel. BT was on the entire time as well even though GSAM doesn't show it.

On Stock Rooted I was getting way more than this... I even forgot my charger when I stayed at my friend's a few weeks back and I still had a 40% charge in the morning, and that was with moderate usage...
Now I'm running HyperDrive 5.7 and I'm having some slight doubts -- I'm still fine at the end of the day with a remaining 60% after work, maybe 40% just before bed, but it seems to be worse than what I was getting.

Consistently at 12+ hours with moderate use (tasker controlled backlight, wifi, BT, etc) - I find the worst power drain is when WiFi is enabled, but not connected. Completely stock/unrooted.
