So I was getting very poor battery life on my Galaxy S II running Cyanogenmod 9 stable. As shown on the screenshot, my battery lasted only about 7 hours it requires a charge. I wasn't running a live wallpaper nor I was running any intense app. I tried to calibrate my battery but there was no improvements. May I know what's wrong? I didn't had some poor battery life while I was on previous roms such as checkrom and even the stock rom. Any helps appreciated. Thank you!

Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!
Please lemme know your personal findings!
Thanks
BTW All posts will be thanked

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.

The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.
Please! More opinions and thoughts!

Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.
Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.
i get about 17 hours with about 5.30 hours of display on samsung based ROM but then again it all depends on what you use your cell for
Thanks for all the input keep em coming!

Any screen on times for aosp? Thx!
Hello ladies and gents. I am trying to find the best ICS rom for the HTC sensation when it comes to the battery life. I understand the roms on here are works in progress, I would just like to find a good rom that isn't too hard on the battery life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's one for you mannn, I installed this on my brother's sensation and it's battery life lasts really long, longer then most gingerbread ROMS. It's also stable and what not.

well, the rom that I used and I personally find the best was virtous inquisition, this rom was all the way 1.5 ghz, and i still got almost 2 days of battery life with medium usage ( lots of texting, few phone calls, a little bit of angry birds) hope I helped!

Thanks, I've tried both Seamless blitz and 10.1. When I use them for about medium use, the battery life drops nearly 10 percent withing the hour.

Thanks, I've downloaded this ROM, just haven't put it on my phone yet, so I will give it a try. I used Virtous ROMs on my mytouch 4g, and they were great.
Is it just me or does battery life on CM9 for Note suck?
I know it's an unofficial port and all, but I seem to get significantly poorer battery life on the AOSP/CM9 roms vs the rooted/debloated stock ones.
On the OnlyOne rom, I got ****ing insane battery life. Like 36+ hours with normal/heavy use. On all of the AOSP/CM9 variants (Flapjaxx/h0twir3) I'm at 50% after 5-6 hours of light use.
Am I the only one? Am I doing something wrong? On every other device I've owned (Nexus One, Nexus S, Captivate, Streak, Sensation, Fascinate...) AOSP has gotten significantly BETTER battery life. There are no obvious rogue apps that I can find, and I'm running exactly the same apps on both roms, still, CM9 variants inexplicably get poor battery life on this phone.
The only thing I've noticed is that Android System is using way more battery on CM9 vs stock roms.
Am I nuts?

Maybe I'll try that one. I'm basically just trying to see if anyone else has the issue before I go looking elsewhere to solve it.

Is that standby time? How long is the screen time?

I haven't been using stock ROMs for a while, and am now currently on AOKP JB, which is awesome. But I've recently had the need to be out of the house for an extended period of time, and i really need a ROM with good battery life.
So quick question, which GSM (or CDMA with GSM-patch) ROM gives the best battery life? I'm more inclined to think stock, and I've read that 676.226.3.en.EU gives really decent battery life. Or is there a better alternative?

Ive been using the simplex rom it has overclock and underclock scripts built in I have been on it for a few days and got 5hrs of screen on and 19hrs of power overclocked with 25% battery still left. Currently I am running underclocked to 1.0 GHZ to see how long Battery will last and sitting at 13hrs on battery and 4.5hrs screen on time and have 44% battery I think I'm doing well!!! No bugs yet either!!
SimpleX is for CDMA right? My bad, I should have specified that I was using a GSM phone.

Hi xda forum users...
I recently got cyanogenmod9 for my phone and the battery life is terrible.
Samsung galaxy gio
Moderate texting
Wifi on but turns off during sleep
No calls
No games
I really like cm9 but I also like battery life being longer

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.
