Hi All,
I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.54 on my Galaxy S3 I9300 about a week back. Every thing seems faster but I am having real problems with my battery life. My phone lasts a day barely if I don't use it much. On stock Samsung JB ROM I got 1.5 - 2 days with much more usage than this. I have attached my battery usage plot and Better Battery Stats wakelocks screenshots. I have all my account syncs turned off. So is location reporting and Google now.
I really like this ROM and would like to stick with it if I can get the battery issue sorted out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You'd be better off writing in the BetterBatteryStats thread
Some comments please.
try to use HydR-C0mpl3xTreme-2.7a or perseus 29.2 kernel.. It will make your batetry better
Thanks for your replies. I have changed my ROM to Omega 4.2 with Siyah Kernel. Seems good until now. Lets see how it goes.
I am going to install Omega v20 !
So which kernel with suit for the best battery ?
My battery doesn't even last for 4-5 hrs ! and even if i have to change any setting like cpu frequency etc !
Please Help !

reads like it come prepacked with philz which is very good... i believe dorimax is also another good one.. BUT by far and the best way to find the best one is to read the thread (from v20 release onwards) and see what everyone else is using, You will get yourself flamed all over the forum for posting threads like this when they fit best in the omega thread. Happy hunting
Battery life doesnt depend solely on the kernel.
The ROM, apps and many other factors have a lot of say in it too.
For the moment, try what comes with the custom rom.
Hey guys. I have been using this site for a while and have just made a new account. I look forward to some helpful chaps
PHONE: GALAXY ACE GT-S5830
I have installed 4 different types of Cyanogenmod (CM 10.1 Pro, etc.) and have found a problem. Even after battery calibration (thank google play ) i have always received severe battery drain. Eg. I would leave my phone on charge overnight. In the morning I would wake up and I could basically watch it go down like a timer. About 2 minutes after unplugging the phone it would have gone down to 81%, even without using the phone!
I know this isn't the ROM's fault since it has happened on numerous ROM's, as I said.
Also, after it reaches about 20% it sometimes slows down the drainage.
I don't get this problem on the stock ROM. I really want to use the stock ROM and UI (TW) cause its got many features, but wanna keep Jellybean cause of BBM for Android coming out soon. If there is any type of ROM which looks just like the original Stock ROM for SGA but with JB installed, could someone please point me in the right direction for it?
Many Regards & looking forward to a ahppy community, HelloMrBrandon. :highfive:
Update: BTW I know I shouldn't post Q&A here. But I couldn't find the right spot for them. Sooooorrryyyyy!
PING!
In the past few months my battery life has been terrible. I can't seem to figure out why.
I've bough 3 new original Samsung batteries but that didn't help either.
I've just flashed to the new Cyanogen rom but the drain still continues.
I get around 5.5 hours of battery when idle.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?
If I won't be able to solve it I'll probably have to buy a new handset which I really want to avoid doing.
Thanks in advance
Same issue with my s2 and I m still searching the answer

Same problem, I fixed it by flashing roms and kernels.
I don't want to make ad but Slimbean unoffical from FusionJack (click on my sig)
and Dorimanx kernel is the best. and i used the app Greenify from the playstore
I hope it works
ho to all i've bought an used s2 that has a problem with the battery. it drains very fast, even with al services disabled. i've bought a brand new samsung battery and also a non original battery with more mha, but the phone discharges always very fast. i'v try to recalibrate the battery with no results...i've last cyanogen rom on it
try change ROM or kernel
Wich rom and kernel do you suggest me
My suggestion:
1. check your battery stats and google fixes to apps that drain ur battery
2. install greenify
3. install custom roms, my suggestion: slimsaber + dorimanx
Whats dorimanx

Dorimanx is a kernel, not a rom.
I ve seen that slimsaber is like a beta not a stable version righe?

Hi, I have got very same problem! I spent like last two years with trying different ROMs. I tried CM, Omega, NeatROM,... but never found one ROM which will not drain battery so quickly...
My girlfriend has got Alcatel OT6010 which has got similar specs as S2 and her phone lasts for 4 days! if she is not on internet all the time. Mine with new extended battery, lasts maximum 2 days max. I am really dissapointed about that
Therefore I would like to ask someone whether he/she can recommend some stable (not alpha or beta) ROM with Android 4.1 or above. Different Kernel is also welcome.
I am looking forward for any help on this!

Your technically correct. It isn't very stable yet.

Since you've tested many roms already, the problem could be caused by old circuitry on the phone. My phone last for 2 days max without using it too, although choosing the right kernel for you could slightly increase battery life (e.g dorimanx or apolo). In terms of stability, cyanogenmod is never perfect, don't use slimsaber, neat rom was quite stable for me, paranoid android was ok, never tried cyan fox, PAC rom isn't going to be updated for a while and is nightlies only, carbon rom is nightlies only. So yeah, just go with neat rom or paranoid android (stable)or cm11 (and wait for next snapshot).
Can i use paranoid with dorimanx?
I haven't had any problems so far with slim saber.
Have you tried the app 'Greenify' yet? It can hibernate apps that drain battery in background.
Another suggestion: Tasker app
Create profiles that for example turn on / off mobile data.
2 days battery life, that's epic for the s2..I get 1 day max at the mo ...and never had much more on any ROM/kernal

Yeah you can. You just need to check what version of dorimanx you install.
There is one for ics/jelly bean and one for kitkat.
And depending on what version of s2 you have you need to check what rom you install. Not sure if dorimanx is available for i9100g
By the way in terms of battery drainage I faced the same problem.
For me it had several causes:
1. My mobile connection wasn't very good and therefore my phone got hot while searching good signal - I flashed a new modem to improve connection... If this won't help a new provider is needed I guess
2. Too many apps running in the background - as already said in a post above greenify will help there a lot as it prevents app from starting without you wanting it
3. Also I installed a new kernel - I'm using dorimanx too. It's battery profile can help a lot
4. Pure performances x (Zeno edition) my phone got a lot faster after flashing this. Also it drains less battery when being idle.
Hope this can help you.
