The only objective is to have 16 hours of battery in a day with push email , and web ....
Stock and moded..
Diferent kernels
With or without samsung apps
Hard resets
Juice defenders
Battery calibration , give some cicles to the new rom....
.....
I Cant see diference or improvements in battery managment
Please tell me you best results vs roms and kernel. Please...or i will have to sell the sg2 and buy an iphone again.
Btw; i was adicted to foursquare in iphone...in sg2 the locations are not acurate...and it takes a lot of time to find....
Ok... My bat was in 84 when o start writing now is in 82%...
Thanks in advance for your advices...

Hey there!
Hi, maybe stupid to ask since you are flashing 3 to 4 ROM'S a day but have you tried lite'ning rom? I find the battery duration on it very surprising and with normal usage (the things you mentioned) I last for about 20-25 hours.
Good luck finding something that fits your needs!
try underclocking/volting
Just relax man. Everything will be OK if you relax for a while

I have set cpu...got a lot of freezes.
SetCPU and all those undervolting/underclocking stuffs are useless.
@OP- You just need to find what processes or apps are causing the drain, to see that download Better Battery Stats and check under 'Wakelocks'. Juice Defender, Flashing different Custom ROM's, changing kernels will do nothing but waste some energy and time of your and give you false mental peace. But it is recommended to Calibrate the battery once after you install a new ROM.
Regards.
I also have Lighting 5.0 and nipho 2.0.5 and my battery life is great!almost 2 full days with medium to high usage which is just GREAT for me ;]
-Advanced Task Killer autokill set to ON.
-Green Power Premium and Powersaver Enabled at 10%
-Autokill Memory at Startup
-Also Instaledl Root Uninstall and froze all stock applications which where not needed which HELPED ALOT,because applications running in the backround does drain battery and trust me 60% of applications running are not needed
-Also have Battery Calibration which is nice.Use it after flashing every rom ;]
-If you dont really Use 3G that much Change Network Mode to GSM only and disable Use packet data.If you do use 3G just install an app like Cambia Red make a shortcut on your screen and enable disable both Packet Data and GSM to GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode) to use 3G and then switch it back off.
This is what i do with my phone,with all this settings i am extremely happy with my battery performance ;]
Also i Agree with ithehappy install BetterBatteryStats and see which programs have high Wakelocks!! ;]
Hope it helps
I use LeoMar rom with nimpho kernel.
With medium use i can use my phone 2 days without charging. Wlan, GPS, 3G is on. My brigthness is always on 25%.
you crazy ???
Multiple flashes of roms does no good at all .
Totally wipe tour phone install stock rom . Turn everything off thats not required .
Monitor apps that are connecting/using power for no reason .

I just switched to Miui, and battery isn't that great so, does anyone know a better kernel for Miui!? Please help! Thanks.
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Now, the MIUI rom itself comes in many varieties. From what I hear the Prime or Lithium versions of MIUI preserve battery better then stock MIUI or MIUI.us.
Kernel wise however Bali-CM 2.2.2 and Glitch v13 are your best bet. Personally I use Glitch because it is much more stable, smoother, and faster then Bali. Plus Bali is no longer being updated while Glitch is still in development. Still you should try out both and see which suits your personal taste best.
Also, remember to undervolt (in SetCPU), as that should further increase battery life without loss of performance. "Screen off" profiles in overclock apps like SetCPU also help in battery conservation.
Another thing. Don't forget that our Vibrant's screens are huge power drainers. Keeping it on a lower brightness level helps save a lot of battery.
An app that really helps battery life is called Juice Defender Plus. You should try it out! Here's an overview of the app posted by "Woodrube" (he helped me get more out of my battery life with his awesome battery wisdom) that should help you get started...
Woodrube said:
This is how the JD Plus works (no need for JD Ultimate b/c we don't have many of the functions it supports. I just copied this from another thread the OP started awhile ago and I was trying to helps him out there.
If you set it to custom, the go into the settings tab on the right and then all the way at the bottom, there is two buttons to push, The first in Interactive which will pull up Juice Defender for up for any app that isn't already configured and the other is Configure Apps. This is the one that you can customize on an app-to-app basis where if you are no using an app and the screen is locked, it kills the radio/data traffic for that app.
Say you are listening to IHeartRadio, this you would want either Enable or Enable/off (which means the screen will be locked but the radio/data will be working). Now take the browser. It you are not using the browser, then you don't need it transmitting data right? So you would set that one to Enable (which means that it will only enable data traffic when that app is being used).
Juice Defender only works when the screen is locked, don't forget and all widgets are battery drains b/c all they really are is a monitoring app and if it is tied to something like FB or G+, then that data will be running constantly.
Examples:
Gmail = Enable (not enable/off b/c then it will keep your radio/data open)
Beautiful Widgets = Enable/off
mClock/Clockr = Enable/off
Angry Birds = Disable (with this and something like Adfree, no more ads in Angry Birds even though the ads are embedded in the .apk)
SMS/MMS = Enable or Do Nothing (why would you push disable)
Enable = Radio/data on when app is in use (front)
Enable/off = Radio/data on for background apps (when screen is locked)
Disable = Disables radio/data traffic completely when that app is running
Do Nothing = What is says.
I have been using JD+ for over a year on 3 different phones and have noticed a considerable difference in battery life, even on a crappy Motorola phone. Just takes some time to figure out YOUR settings and what YOU like. I have also used it on Stock kernel and had no problems either.

Hey dude, which one should I pick from high leakage, medium leakage, or low leakage!? And what's the difference!?
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Here is what it means straight from the OP of the Glitch thread...
4)What is Leakage (LL,ML,HL) and what one should i use?
Easy explanation: start with HL. If it allows you to OC how much you want, stay there. If not, move down until you get what you want.
For people who want more: Well, we made different leakages because koflem couldn’t OC, and he felt left out, so he started compiling on his own, which gave Tk-Glitch the idea to make three different versions. They have to do with the differences in different phones. Take for example different phones run better with different OC/UV. The leakages are the same way. They adjust the int voltages, which is something not configureable (yet) in userspace, so we have to configure them that way when we build. That way both the voltages that you are used to (the ones controllable via voltage control) are tailored to your device, as is the int voltages (the ones only we can do). Most people have no idea, but there are dozens of variables that we play with to make so that all of you can OC and UV as much as possible with as much stability as possible. Some aren't device specific, some are. We are trying to make the best experience possible for a wide range in chip quality, therefore we make different leakages, as well as making the kernel configurable via voltage control. From a stability/performance standpoint, and by extension standpoint, there is only one leakage right for your device. Different leakages aren't better in some ways for you and worse in others, there is only one good one for your device. Sorry if that didn't make sense, I tried to make it as informative as possible without it being overwhelming.

Now, first of all make sure you install v13 not v12 of Glitch. Here's a link to v13. To change the leakage in v13 do as follows...
-Boot into Recovery
-Go down to "Glitch" and select it
-Go to the Leakage section and select it
-You should be presented with High, Medium, Low
-Choose which leakage you want and reboot
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Alright, I flash this kernel like I flash any other kernel right? And what are the differences between high, low and medium?
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Flash like a normal kernel, yes.
To be straight out honest I'm not 100% positive on the differences. But from my understanding High leakage works on most Vibrants, while Low works on the few better made phones. Just start with high then try medium (which is what I use). Most likely you won't be stable on low, however, if you're stable on medium then move down to low. The more detailed answer is already posted above.
These are great suggestions but for me personally my phone won't go into deep sleep after a charge unless I reboot it, so just rebooting my phone every morning gets me to about 18 hours on a charge

If you flashed v13 and then did a reboot this is how you change the leakage...
-Boot into Recovery (It will be red)

-You should be presented with...

If you have the BLN app installed then uninstall it. Or you could try going into settings, click the settings soft key, search, type "led notifications", click led notifications, and then turn it off. Try that and see if that helps.

Hi guys, I'm coming from an iOS iPhone 4 device to a Samsung Galaxy S2, So far I'm very satisfied by the performance of the device, the freedom of choice and let's just sum it up, Really happy about the switch.
Anyway can you guys recommend me some Battery saving tips?
What Kernels do you guys use, and that are battery life efficient, and do not sacrifice performance,
I'm running on 4.0.3 Stock ROM
I don't and will not switch from a regular Sammy rom, for certain reasons.
Thank you very much and sorry if I'm OT..
Hi, my first bit of advice is to learn how to flash roms and get your phone rooted!
I'm using a rooted, stock ROM from wanam and I've no complaints.
Once your rooted, the best app I've used for battery saving is called 'autostarts'. It allows you to control when an app starts (for example the google plus app starts after pretty much any event-like connecting a power cord for example).
Using just this app my overnight drain (11 pm to 7 am) went from 16% down to 8%.
The majority of battery monitors I've used just give you the 'feeling' you're saving battery on my experience!

I've flashed my device with the Medium because for some reason the extreme won't boot up my device, I have a "cation" sign under my Phones name, anyway I noticed some apps appear on my device, "Superuser" and "CWM" That means my phone is rooted?
I recommend you to use the WanamLite ROMs (they are the stock ROMs with very few and essential tweaks, and root access). I'm using Fluxi kernel, but I'm using Paranoid Android, which is NOT a Sammy ROM.
Now, in order to save battery you can undervolt the processor, lock it to never go beyond certain speed (i.e 1GHz), use low brightness, disable automatic sync, use 2G, etc...
Hope I helped, and welcome to the wonderful Android world

Congrats on making the move from an OS that are you are told what you can & can't do to an OS that YOU tell what you want to do.
Always leave data network mode as deactivated unless you need it. Go into Settings>Wifi and click the menu button (soft key to the left of the home button) and click Advanced. Then under the option Wifi on during sleep select Never (or Only while charging). As a few other users stated, use auto brightness. Where you can, use the Application Manager widget on your home screen. If the number goes above 0 then you should click on it and kill the app (and clear the Ram as well for good measure. If you can, also use a static wallpaper instead of a live wallpaper, and also use black or dark colours as much as you can. Also open up your dialler and dial *#9900# and something called Sys Dump opens up. There is an option there called Disable Fast Dormancy. Press it to disable it.
I can't think of anymore at 11:35pm!
As for kernels, stock Samsung is all I use. Lots of people on XDA seem to use Cyanogenmod, CF-Root or Siyah.
Good luck and enjoy your freedom. :victory:
You can't practically do anything to save juice but installing some battery monitoring apps like Better Battery Stats, Watchdog etc. Just monitor what apps are causing Wakelocks or misbehaving, then disable the Sync in them.
And PLEASE DO NOT install any crappy apps, Play Store is full of them.
Oh, Android's biggest juice hogger is those ads, so install AdAway and remove those nonsense ads.
Good Luck.
First thing post in the correct forum. Second asking for whats better for "x" or "y" is not allowed as its relative to each person. So for that I will be locking this thread.
Cheers
Hey guys I just got revamped and back into the android game with the evo 4g LTE and needless to say I am very pleased with it. The only problem I've run into was that my battery is dropping at quite a high speed(about 15-17% an hour for moderate use.) I am on stock 4.0.3 at the moment. I am fine with stock, and if at all possible I'd like to stay on 4.0.3. But if anyone could redirect me to a rom or kernel or even good settings to arrange to get my battery up to the braggable amount that everyone has been talking about.

u must got use the phone much with battery life like that!! there's no way your using the phone normal and have 1 day 7 hours and still have more then half the battery life left...
Running stock Jelly Bean on mine, turned off GPS and turned on Power Saver and got about 36 hours of battery life.
I have had good battery life with Viper4G (both with the stock kernel and the Beastmode kernel).
I recently tried Frozen Jelly Belly and am getting really good battery life (over five hours of screen time with charge left over). They use the AwesomeSauce kernel.

Better Battery Life..
This involves under clocking and disabling one core but it will give you 8+ hours with pretty much any JB stockish ROM..
If you are a business user than this is for you. If you are a gamer than not so much..
Obviously you need to be running a rom that is rooted.
You will need the following apps
- Kernel Tuner
- CPU Spy
KERNEL TUNER
1. Install Kernal tuner and CPU Spy.
2. Start up Kernel Tuner
3. Goto CPU Tweaks
4. Set CPU 0 to 384min and 1026max
5. Set CPU 0 Governor to ondemand
6. Set CPU 1 Governor to userspace
7. Press back button
8. Press CPU1 on/off to disable CPU1 (CPU1 should say offline now)
9. Press settings (little rench)
10. Under Boot Settings change Restore Settings After Reboot to init.d script
11. Press back button to exit program
12. Restart Phone
CPU SPY (used for confimation)
1. Go into CPU Spy
2. Press Menu
3. Select Reset Timers
4. Exit program by pressing back
5. GO back into CPU Spy and you will see that percentages between the min (384) and the max (1026)
I am running MeanBean 1.9 getting an average of 12~15 hours of average usage. Your results may vary..
The the min max settings should give you smooth UI and usable business battery life. If your UI is sluggish try Nova Launcher
My 2 cents..

Another vote for MeanROM ICS (I'm running MeanBean now, but I'd stick with ICS until Jellybean Kernel source drops). Also, be aware that asking this question is highly unlikely to get you applicable information, as almost no one will have tried the majority of ROMs out there, and your tower/signal situation may be different from someone else...

This involves under clocking and disabling one core but it will give you 8+ hours with pretty much any JB stockish ROM..
If you are a business user than this is for you. If you are a gamer than not so much..
Obviously you need to be running a rom that is rooted.
You will need the following apps
- Kernel Tuner
- CPU Spy
KERNEL TUNER
1. Install Kernal tuner and CPU Spy.
2. Start up Kernel Tuner
3. Goto CPU Tweaks
4. Set CPU 0 to 384min and 1026max
5. Set CPU 0 Governor to ondemand
6. Set CPU 1 Governor to userspace
7. Press back button
8. Press CPU1 on/off to disable CPU1 (CPU1 should say offline now)
9. Press settings (little rench)
10. Under Boot Settings change Restore Settings After Reboot to init.d script
11. Press back button to exit program
12. Restart Phone
CPU SPY (used for confimation)
1. Go into CPU Spy
2. Press Menu
3. Select Reset Timers
4. Exit program by pressing back
5. GO back into CPU Spy and you will see that percentages between the min (384) and the max (1026)
I am running MeanBean 1.9 getting an average of 12~15 hours of average usage. Your results may vary..
The the min max settings should give you smooth UI and usable business battery life. If your UI is sluggish try Nova Launcher
My 2 cents..

I've been looking for a while now, and I can not find a sweep to wake kernel that is compatable with ViperDNA 1.3.5. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Maybe search the Viper thread or post the question in the Viper thread
Oh where are you Dsb!
im using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021714 but the downloads area has gotten kinda confusing this is the one you want http://nosroms.com/getdownload.php?file=DNA/Kernel_4.1.2/Blackout-Viverrine-B5.9.zip as fas i know that's the last version of that kernel to support 4.1.1 which viper is atm. then i just choose defualt when installing and then in viper tweaks under lockscreen enable sleep to wake and if you dont want your capactive buttons to blink for notifications use tricksters mod on google play.
The black out kernel has working sweep to unlock

Thanks a ton. It works like a charm. Just one more quick question; what governor and I/O are you using, and how is your battery life with it?

I use default setting when flashing then don't bother changing it and run what ever default is. It gets me heavy usage around 10 hours and lite usage around 1 1/2 to 2 days at down to 10 percent. Here's a pic of what in atm keep in mind at home in constantly on wifi so I would consider it lie usage even if I'm using it a lot.
