Unfortunatly,Google isn't gonna fix battery drain on S3's devices until the release of it's latest Android Version 4.2 Key Lime Pie as i read on Android with me website Google will launch with Android 4.2 a Project known as Project Roadrunner which means increased FPS NDLR and improved battery life with a significant amount better than any other previous Android version including JellyBean.Hope this helps!
I am getting a reasonable battery life on stock ics and the leaks had slightly better battery life as well... so I assume the official release will have a better battery life than the stock ics..

JB didnt fix battery life..for my experience, ICS have longer battery life than JB.

Hi all,
I keep reading but I don't seem to find a definite answer for this question. I read somewhere that because of i9300 processor (samsung didn't reveal the codes or sth) the performance and battery life on Custom ROM based on AOSP and CM is not as satisfactory as Stock or Touch-wiz based roms.
Is this true? I love to use CM but the battery indeed seems to drain faster. Any idea of when i9300 users might get to use solid AOSP or CM based ROMs?
Thanks mates!
I am curious about this too. It seems that AOSP ROMS will always be imperfect as long as the Exynos codes arent released.

I have messed around with a few ROMS (mainly sammy based one's) and using a SAMMY ROM with a new launcher is a strong base.
Why not start by finding a good sammy based ROM (i'm using Viking ROM although may switch to HyperLight) get a nice setup, then you can simply backup and mess with ASOP & CM yourself knowing you have a rock solid alternative to fall back on.
You can make up your own mind then ^^

Cm10 is rock stable and has better battery life than sammy. (For me) but camera has some problems. Just try it. You can always revert it to sammy

CM10 is still nightly build right? I tried some ROMs like slimbean and liquid smooth but the battery performance is significantly not as good as stock. Am i right?
Yes right...
The stock ROM gives awesome battery life...
I tried CM10 but it seems to drain battery faster...i mean not that faster...
On my galaxy sl i9003 you cant even imagine what actually battery drain is....
Life 7hrs and gone but on my S3 the battery is OK about a day or day and a half and still 34% left !!

Wah. A day and a half??? I can't even achieve it with stock rom. What kind of tweaks do you use?
I just rooted a while ago and have just been flashing ROM this and that. Have never tried custom kernels or mods.
Would love to hear some tweaks that will last me 1.5 days with CM10. haha. Share with me bro.
If you can tolerate the few minor issues/glitches here and there, nothing beats CM10.

okay. So i do not need any kernel and tweaks for excellent battery life is it?
tried so often cm9&cm10, lately slimbean.
was AOSP fan on my desire, but not on the s3 (yet)
none of them made me stick to AOSP for more than 1week...
too many "bugs" - minor things who annoyed me like: **** camera&video (unstable), battery life, calling bugs (low voice volume) etc
ive to admit that slimbean + siyah kernel beats everything, the battery life is rly nice (nearly liek sammy roms). siyah kernel helps alot concerning the battery life on AOSP!
still ive to use a sammy rom cuz of stability and reliability.
id look forward to a fully working AOSP rom, hopefully soon.

What good is a ROM that is stable (as in doesn't crash) but ISN'T fully functional (as in has issues w/ hardware) ?
I want a ROM that is both stable and fully functional, even if it isn't the benchmark champion.
For me, the stock ROMs offer the best of the 2 worlds: they are stable and functional.
Yeah, let the flame start, but I am yet to see an AOKP/AOSP/CM ROM that doesn't have a single issue with hardware.
So, stock ROMs for me are the winner.
I use NOVA Launcher Prime, BTW, but the TouchWiz that came with today's stock JB (France, XEF) is extremely fast and as customizable as Nova Launcher.

There is miui rom that offers sammy+miui experience. I think it's called rayglobe, but it's based on 4.0.4 so it is never as smooth as jb

Hi i am on ICS and is perfect to me, but im considering updating to JB 4.1.2 because of the alleged Sudden Death fix of the new rom.
But im wondering this:
1) How the battery duration compares, using the same configuration on both ICS and JB 4.1.2, witch one last longer and how much longer?
2) Witch one uses more system ram?
3 Does JB 4.1.2 has any bugs or anything bad that ICS doesn't has?
jelly bean takes up more ram, cpu and battery..but is a lot faster than ics and doesn't have any bugs
Hope it helped

Ok I dont use ur phone so i am not sure if what i say might be accurate. From what i can see, ur phone was only supported my Samsung till android 2.3. Which probably means that your phone doesnt have a proper kernel for android 4.0.4 on which cm9 is based on. So probably the kernel being used isnt fully stable, hence ur battery life is terrible, I would suggest u stick to a gingerbread (android 2.3) ROM with a stable kernel to enjoy good battery life. It could also be that ur battery might actually be spoilt. Is there any slight bloating on ur battery?

The kernel which was compiled for the your phone might not be fully stable yet causing the battery drain. If there is a new version of that rom try updating to that and see if that fixes the problem.

Hello there,
I'm just looking for some help regarding my abismal battery that I'm using in my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I have recently updated my handset to the latest release of Android Jellybean 4.1.2 and the battery life sucks!
I do the usual "Turn off your WiFi and Bluetooth, GPS" e.c.t but I barely get a day from a full charge.
I am thinking about downgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread as I got a lot more from my device with these Operating Systems.
What should I do?
Many Thanks
Kieran.
You cant expect more than a day with jellybean 4.1.2, your phone run fast, with lots of features. All you can do is flashing unofficial rom, which got tweaks to save battery. Or upgrade your smartphone with official battery pack 2000mah which extend your battery life lots.
Im running Omega v24 based on official jelly bean 4.1.2 and upgraded battery samsung 2000mah and battery life is amazing to compare what this software offers.

Seconding the genuine 2000 mAh battery pack. The back cover that comes with it just makes your phone flush instead of having the weird inward bulge that the stock battery gives you. Even cooler!
I'm currently happy running NeatROM 4.8.

Well mate, i can tell u this..the stock ROM update is like dat only..pretty disgusting & battery hungry..FCs are also there...am sure u haven't explored the capabilities of ur S2 phone by rooting it..
Well there are loads of custom roms dat will give u good battery life and loads of customization options..I have rooted my S2 the day i bought it .. Neat ROM, WanamLite, are some good Samsung based ROMS..Rock STABLE.. I have tried em all.. and good battery life also.
Currently am running on ASNET MIUI V5 rom.. excellent feel..and good battery..faster response..u can also try it..
am sure this ld b helpful for u..dunt wry bout the battery drain..try coming to custom roms and enjoy the full potential of S2
Hit the Thanks Button if u think the info was helpful..
Cheers mate
Im on neat rom lite and my battery life is great. Current build is 5.2. There are great roms out there but for me neat rom wins hands down. Give it a try.

Ics is too laggy
Jb is good but iy has keyboard crashes and when persistent keyboard is used it starts to la
Kit kat has poor battery life
Lollipop is on initial stages which is highly unstable
I wanted to ask you guys that which rom are you using and why?
Plus how much battery life lasts in that rom in normal usage

any ICS rom should be best for battery life, i have experienced many JB roms (all are based on munjeni's port? so it's actually the same rom with some tweaks) and they drain the battery very fast, which gets me to the second issue, you should check what kernel you are using, because that can make a difference too, what governors you are using, if you are using greenify or amplify to reduce system load.
anyway, the sola is a poor phone, except for the dual core cpu i find it very problematic, with the touchscreen errors while charging, battery drain jumps (all of a sudden 20% of the battery goes away), charging problems and so on, it's an experiment sony tried but it seems it didn't work out that well, the floating touch which I think is the source of all these problems never caught on and was not added to any device since then, still the sola is a special device for the ones that want a phone with special features (e.g. the only phone in the world with floating touch).
