Hi everyone.
I'm new here, also I'm not so good at english, but I'll try to explain my problem:
Recently I installed CM7.2 on my SK17i, and everything on the flashing process was fine, until I checked out the battery.
When I used the stock GB or ICS rom from Sony, the battery of my phone last about 1 day and a half o 2 days. Now with CM7 the battery last 1 day, or maybe less.
In battery use, cell standby and Phone idle have 50 and 50%
I think is the baseband, because I tried some of the tips or solutions mentioned here in XDA but none of them worked.
What can it be the problem?
Thanks!
Hey friends I am currently running the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM on my international GS3 i9300 and it is also rooted of course and I don't think I'm being paranoid but my battery life has took a massive drop since rooting my device. I am not overclocking mu CPU and I have tried out some rooted apps like battery saver for example and I actually think it made it worse. I have all the usual setting disabled to allow for optimal battery life like brightness right down, auto sync off, wi-fi off when the phone is locked I also only use the wi-fi manually if and when I need it and all that good stuff like smart stay and vibration off. I am wondering if anyone knows of something I'm not trying???
Had it charged to 100% this morning at 9PM and by 1PM I'm down to 79% already and I haven't made any calls and only used it to check my email and facebook for around 10 mins!!! is this normal for everyone else???
:crying::crying::crying:
Cheers

Sound normal for Sammy JB rom.
Some said Facebook is also causing the battery drains.

Did you reset your battery stats? Charge to 100%, reset battery stats from CWM or delete batterystats.bin -file, let the battery run out.
You might want to use currentwidget to log your battery usage.
I noticed big battery drop between 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 used to get 24 hours one charge 4 hours screen time. Now I get only about 12 hours.
Might just be me :/

I'm using also omega rom v28, have it installed recently. I cannot say how good is the battery with this rom, but so far I have like 56% in 20h, with 2h screen, sopcast 30min, voice cals 37mins....etc (also using wifi manually when needed)
Try out different roms and find out what works for you.
You can also use an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery. Its just to check whats use power.
Don't use batterysaving apps most of the time they are making it worse
I'm running Omega ROM V27.2 and yes it's normal to have a difference about battery life between ICS & JB.
To improve my battery life I installed the phenomenal extreme kernel, and now I'm totally happy with it. You should take a look to its topic in the GS3 Android Development forum. The dev developed 3 versions of his kernel to fit to most of the phone.
Also as others told you, you should get BBS app to point out the wakelocks & define which app is your problem.
Personally, I'm at 45% charged, and already used it during 21h 10m including more than 2 hours screen on. My auto-sync is always on and my WiFi only when I enable it. I'm using a live wallpaper and a lot Twitter.
When I do nothing I can reach more than 2 days.

Hallo,
I have the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM flashed on Thuersday and i´m testing the ROM at a long time.
I use the Phenomenal4.0Medium Kernel and i must say the BatteryLife is very good. I`m working over 15 ours with him and i have 58 % on it.
My WIFI is every time on and Autosync when i use my calender and planners. For me a good app handdling battery life is "GREENPower" in Market Place.
But it´s my idea.
Here is the Link for the phenomenal kernel in xda android Galaxy S3 Deverlopment:

As he recommends ...identifying and reducing your wakelocks should be your primary concern. Been reading loads from developers that the insecure jb kernels themselves should already provide good battery management.
Sywped from my GT-I9300 running Omega v28 & siyah 1.7rc1
i can't get more than 2h and 30min display and 14h stand by. I have tried perseus, siyah and speedmod kernel. Using wanamlite rom.

that is exactly why i reverted back to ICS.........JB is nice and smooth but "eats" battery quickly.........now,battery life problem on my i9300,solved
Hey guys, if you are going to use custom ROM's you should be prepared for bad battery. The developers are adding so many different features and hacking certain apps to make them work in their ROM's without a lot of investigation into what the reprecussions to battery are. I used to always use custom ROM's but haven't installed one in about 6 months and haven't any problems with battery life. I have the latest JB on my 9300 and battery life is very good. I use GSAM to watch apps that want to go rouge and start sucking battery life. Media Player Service is a big offender as is Facebook. Also stock widgets that get placed by these JB ROM's are always pinging for new data and kill battery quickly. Get rid of them! If you have a stock ROM and are getting bad battery, 99% of the time it will be bad apps, your job is to determine which ones they are and apps like betterbatterystats and GSAM work great to help diagnose the issue.
can anybody else confirm the above post? because i am not sure about the custom roms.

I will soon have an S3 so I cannot speak specifically about this device / ROM(s).
What I know from using a lot of Android devices and testing original ROMs vs. custom ROMs:
- original ROMs have too much garbage built-in apps and are slower
- original ROMs have everything working
- custom ROMs are much cleaner and faster
- custom ROMs have (too) much problems, something always not working 100%
- custom ROMs usually have stability & battery issues
My personal advice:
- install latest ORIGINAL ROM.
- root it
- install the free app "App Backup & Restore" from Google Play
- search unuseful apps from Samsung (& others) and block the autorun of these apps (note: do not block basic android or samsung apps, as phone, contacts, etc)
I use this method for 1.5 years and this way my Android is clean (you can save over 100-150Mb RAM), FAST and much better battery. Try it.
In the end, if original ROMs have too many original apps, custom ROMs have to many tweeks that in the end, for my taste, the original ROMs + App Backup & Restore win hands down.

I have always had custom roms on all my android devices but at the moment I am running stock ics in my s3.
I don't think the S3 needs it.
To be honest I find a lot of the stock based roms full of changes I don't really need, ARHD was a great Rom but recently has started to lag really badly for me (and some other users) so I went back to stock just to see and so far I can't complain. Smooth, fast and the battery is as good if not better than the custom roms.
If the camera didn't suck so bad on AOSP I would be there in a instant

Try disabling Google Now, it eats your battery pretty fast. Also, remember that Google Maps may have separated configuration for this (location history). You can also use some app like Wakelock detector to analyze what application is preventing your phone from going to deep sleep.
Hey guys, I have a Canadian Glalaxy S4 SGH-M919V from Wind Mobile. On 4.2.2. Since I bought the phone, the battery was dying pretty quick, with the new updates to 4.1... and now 4.2.2, the battery dies much quicker and performance is just awful, the phone freezes a lot, won't unlock for a minute or so after freezing. The developers have promised the battery fix with each new update, but they keep making it worst and slower with no promised battery fix, and this is not how S4 should work, the system is powerful enough to run quick without freezing and battery should last long, but after using it for 1 hour a day, I have to charge it every night.
-So my question is, which custom rom is the fastest and has a good battery life for M919V. I would like to have all features still working, wifi tethering.... -Also would I have to flash modem to fix any problems like 4G not working when calling and when screen is locked? What is the best Lerner for my phone and what do I need to do/install to have everything working without any problems. Thanks guys, waiting on your replies. Tired of my S4 being slow and dying quick...

Update: rooted my phone with Odin and cf-auto root
Still want to know what rom I should install for good battery and performance
Hi!
I am on 20s Chinese ROM rooted and since few days ago I started to have a really impressive battery drain.
What do you think is the problem?
I use the bluthoot with my mi band and I cannot believe that the system update (aggoirnamento di sistema) have sucked so much juice.
Thank you
I guess the system update app got stucked in the background. Do a reboot, that might solve the issue.
You can also try out custom roms for example Small EUI (if you favour long battery life).
Have you tried rebooting? Looks like some process has gone awry.
