i have been using CM10 rom with siyah kernel & the battery lasts for about 6-8 hours on average use which is terrible... stock rom was just as bad, i have recently bought a 3450mah battery for my s3 which seems to add a few more hours...but not enough..
i used to have an iphone 4 which had great battery life lasted along time & could still go on nights out & it would still have around 20% percent left & never drained on standby.
this is my first android phone and i am happy with the the android os & the community but samsung sure have some bad design quality. hate touchwiz & the battery life right now (off topic poor speaker volume & location too)
my question is does anyone have a rom & kernel which gives great battery life?
please let me know
There's quite a couple of ROMs here that can give you decent battery life and great battery life. I'm currently running resurrection remix ROM which is amazing, still testing battery life but from what I've read in the threads it's quite good for an AOKP/CM10 ROM. Another good CM10 based ROM is the psycho ROM by team custom freaks. I had that too which had very good battery (on standby it lost 0% over 7hours) which is awesome

But to help you, download BBS (Better Battery Stats) from the market, and check the wake locks that the phone has. You either got a dud battery or something is running amuck in the background.

Which of the ROMs available in the development area will provide me with the greatest battery life? (without loss of important features or anything)

I personally prefer Nottachtrix, it's fast as hell and awsome battery life

You could take a look at the Neutrino ROM. It is missing features, though there are plenty of add-ons that you could easily download to suit your needs. Other than that it's extremely compact and snappy, and (so I've heard) the black and white theme actually helps out battery life tremendously.

This is for my girlfriend's phone. I can't test these out realtime, but I put the light Neutrino on it and it didn't last a whole day. Got Aqua on there and the battery life on there doesn't seem to be exquisite either.
Gonna try out Nottachtrix when I get the chance.
ROMS generally take a few days to show their full battery potential. In other words, when you install a new ROM you should charge it to 100% (before installing), delete the battery stats, and discharge all the way through until it turns off. Charge it all the way to 100% and discharge to 0% for a few cycles and you'll begin to see more accurate battery performance. Installing a ROM for one day and then installing another the next isn't going to tell you anything about true battery performance. It needs a little bit of time, just like it took a few cycles when she first got her phone for the battery to last its full amount.
Neutrino and CM7 should generally be lasting a whole day, if not 2 days. I am on a CM9 based ROM and even my battery lasts from 6 in the morning to 12 at night. As I've stated, it takes a bit of time for the battery to shine.
I get pretty decent battery life out of The Darkside Prefinal. From 6am-10pm with about an hour or so charging inbetween I usually have about 40% or so left. Neutrino ROM has been pretty good to me too. About 35%-30% left in the same time frame mentioned earlier
Plenty of focus on all ROMs have been performance and battery life has not been so good. Request a ROM that focuses on battery life, for those that are away from a charger during a 14 hr. work day.

Have you thought about purchasing an extended battery ?
Or
Simply limit your processor, brightness, radio connectivity, and use am android firewall to limit which apps can and can't use data/WiFi. Also ensure you have good settings in your task manager

I get 2-3 days out of my 2400mAh-battery, using MIUI and the forbidden kernel.
I can't complain at all about battery life.
Everything runs silky smooth at 192/1180mHz - xondemand
A little undervolting and a little gpu underclock.
I think poor battery life is more "user error" than something to call dev attention for.
There are plenty of guides on how to maximize battery life on the web and on xda.
2 tips from me, because many guides get it wrong or fail to mention:
- This app lets you schedule autosync. With some care and thought when setting it up, you can be always up to date without your phone snycing all the time. If you need to be in second-precise sync-though, it's not for you.
- Wifi off @ screen off is a myth. I have set my wifi to be on all time for months now and haven't noticed any decrease in battery life. If anything, it's better now.
I use mwakious, forbidden kernel at 1512 mhz and an anker 1900mah battery and get about 19-24 hours no problem
Try using Juice Defender too
I've also noticed keeping wifi connected all day is drastically less harsh on the battery than 3g.
I get awesome battery life with mentioned banned kernel and meanrom. I just switched to another rom and not sure about battery life there yet or i'd share
Hey guys, I've been having some battery life issues with my SGS II for quite awhile now and decided to seek help now as I can't quite take charging twice a day anymore. I've uploaded the BBS as well as screen shot of the battery usage for a full drain (part 1), as well as an overnight drain (part 2). I appreciate any help given in deciphering what is the cause of the drain.
My current ROM is Slim v2.9.0 using CM10 Kernel.
Let me know if there's any more information needed, thanks in advance!
You don't have any serious battery drainer.. Have you thought about getting a second battery though?

I've tried changing batteries with my brother's phone (1 day charge rate with heavy usage) and still achieved pretty much the same battery life when on my phone.
I've noticed that I have this problem with AOSP/AOKP roms. While I'm on some Samsung based custom, battery is excellent. All with same kernels!
Maybe you should try flash something like Neatrom as Second rom and see how long the battery lasts.

thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try!
I fully agree with kilometers4 (post #2), looks like poor battery capacity. However, as you already changed the battery without significant effect, it must be something else.
Looking at the logs you provided I would run the exact same "tests" but with the data connection disabled. These results could help in further debugging.
Hi,
is there any possibility to check battery health?
Since flashing JB 4.2.1 weeks ago battery life decreased and is getting even worse. No wakelocks, bbs is looking fine. Tried mcm's cm10.1, official cm.10.1 and Slim Bean RC2 with stock kernel, Siyah 5 and Dorimanx. With light use and less than 2 hours screen on time battery lasts one day. No big difference if reception is good or bad. Media scanner is fine too. The phone is more than one year old.

Plenty of topics on battery, use search.
All those topics are about people who are not able to setup their phones properly, but not about the physical battery
Almost every battey stats app you can download from the market can tell you battery health (very inaccurately).
If you're getting bad battery life though, the chance of it being an "unhealthy" battery are very low. Infact, on every ROM/Kernel you've listed I've had poor battery, I only get a good run on stock - there is way more to battery life than just wakelocks.
So I have searched high and low looking for answers to my problem, but to no avail.
Im not sure if this is the right thread, if not please direct me to where i will be more suited.

Im having terrible battery drain issues with every rom I have tried, apart from cyanogenmod 10.1 which I didn't like.
It seems as though the battery will not charge above 50 or so percent and then will completely run flat after about 5 hours, and thats on standby. I have tried liquidsmooth, cyanogenmod 10.2, AOKP and multiple others, (all jb 4.2.2 roms, apart from cyan 10.1) and they all worked perfectly apart from the terrible battery life. I was under the understanding that my current roms (liquidsmooth) battery life should be excellent but It wont get above 60 percent and runs flat within hours.
I have tested multiple chargers, charged it while on and off, always shut my apps when not in use... all of the usual battery stuff.
Im at a loss as to what to do.. How do I fix it?
Please help me xda you're my only hope.

Hi there.
Download megawipe
Download temasek ROM with latest kernel
Flash megawipe in recovery, this will delete everything on internal SD
Flash ROM gapps and kernel
Download / install stweaks
Choose zzmoves
In zzmoves lab choose yanks battery profile
In power tab set charge hard voltage to default
See how that goes mate.
Please use the report button this is not Q&A

Charge the phone
Install BBS (you can find it here on XDA for free)
Let the phone rest 1 or 2 hours
Show us what BBS have under "Kernel Wakelock"
Regards.
