[Q] Battery life CM9 vs CM10? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now that the wifi tethering has been fixed in CM10 ROM (which was the only thing that was concerning me from switching over to CM10.)
But how is the battery life of CM10 in comparison to CM9? Can I use it as my daily driver or will I need to charge my phone frequently?
Thanks.

[Q] Battery life STOCK vs CM10.1

Hi, just wanted to know if i have the same application, the same usage with CM 10.1 and Stock lastest Sammy rom, which would give me more battery life ? :angel:
How much aproximatively would it be different if so ?
Samsung would be better.....10-20%
I keep reading of people using the phone while browsing for +4h of screen or surfing the web for 2h on 4G and still having 70% left of battery life.
This is all stock ROMs. From my usage this would be impossible, I'm using cm10.1 and on 3g I could probably go to 2h screen on but that's it.
I'm starting to think that maybe aosp roms don't even come close to stock ROMs (which I never tried though).
Some experiences between roms and battery life?
Yeah I agree that stock seems better than aosp based. Even using similar kernels (perseus on stock v devil on aosp)

samsung vs aosp roms (battery) / show ur WIFI drain results!

hello,
iam switching between samsung rom and aosp roms lately and the battery life keeps me wondering.
using a custom kernel and slimbean (ie.) the battery life rly improved compared to a few months now, but WIFI takes still more battery compared to samsung roms.
is that normal? any advises for that? ive exactly the same apps and 0 wakelocks cause of other apps (everything tweaked rly).
but still WIFI takes 1,5%/h on an aosp rom.
any experiences on that?
what are ur results?
I'm on CM 10.1 and the wifi consumes more battery for me either. but I'm not much bothered about it 'cause i charge the battery whenever needed.

please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

super battery drainage

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.

[Q] Best Battery Life Kernels/ROMs

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best ROM/kernels for battery life. I switched from MeanBean recently to some CM10 (DU) and CM11 (carbon) based stuff, and my battery life has been pretty bad. Sometimes near 20%/hr. Could always go back to Mikey's ROM, but I wanted to play around with stuff like HALO while still having enough juice to use it as a daily driver.
