I use the cyanogen data toggle or data toggle widget from the market to turn off 3G when I'm not using it and it makes a HUGE different in my battery life.

Hey guys,
I,Ace King 34,made this thread here for you guys to share your SGA's Battery life so that Users who want ROMs that give Good battery life can be helped.
So all you have to do is Capture a screenshot of your SGA's battery life and post it here Alongwith the Name of the Custom ROM that you are using,Scripts that you are using,Kernel that you are using and the CPU configurations that you did.
So first I will start.
I am on Apocalypse Final ROM by itasoulas and I use the Adrenaline Engine 4.2b for CM and I use Firekernel-22072012 And my CPU configuration is Max 806 MHz,Min 245 MHz and governor is Ondemand(many prefer SmartAssV2 though,but I stopped using it)
Attached is the Screenshot of my Battery life On Apocalypse Final ROM.
Your Screenshots alongwith your Personal adjustments(ROM,kernel,scripts,CPU config) will help people seeking Good Battery Backup giving ROMs and also it will lead to ways on how we can achieve good battery backup(with the help of scripts ofcourse )
So start uploading your Screenshots Now.
Note to MOD:-
Hey Mr.Tom please don't close this thread.
I think it will be helpful to users seeking good Battery backup giving ROMS(Atleast then the users(mostly newbies and noobs) won't make new threads like 'Which is good battery life giving ROM' or 'Suggest me some good battery backup giving ROMs')
However at any instance of time,if you feel that this thread is going out of control,then you can close this thread immediately
I thought there was already a thread for this.

Battery threads like these always misleads people since people are trying to brag about their max up-time. It would be better if people included information as setting, rom and daily usage.
On track: My phone usually last around +/-15hours. Data off usually when I don't use it, with below average internet usage, only checking up stuff now and then.
Listen to a lot of music and usually below 100 texts a day. A few calls now and then as well.
I'm using Apocalypse (final) and setCPU(max 844MHz) to enchant it with profiles

What matters the most is screen on time, screen brightness and connection type (2g/3g/wifi/airplane-mode, data on/off). Talk-time matters IF you talk much. Screen and internet on 3g are eating most of your battery.
But in the end everything matters and none of the results are really comparable. So if someone's battery last a little longer then yours, you just don't worry about it. Tomorrow yours might last longer.
Usually 12-14 hours when I am at home (using wifi, using no mobile data, 40% brightness). Usually 6 hours when I am outside (using mobile data, 100% brigthness, sometimes GPS). I have a special pouch for my phone, with pockets for another two batteries. When I am going outside, I have two fully charged batteries with me. 8^) So I can kill green piggies for hours with no fear of no energy. 8^)

Hey guys, please post your battery stats by using app called better battery stats. I have to charge my every 10 hours. My phone was in deep sleep for 6hrs or so. My battery drain average is 10.4%/hour. So, please post your battery stats using better battery stats. btw, I'm using stock gb rom with tagb 1.2 hotfix kernel. My battery drains even in deep sleep mode (I guess, I'm not sure) The person who has best stats may tell us some tips.
PS: please download better battery stats app from xda, as the developer provides free version for xda users, but in market its paid app.

We can't compare everything! We can compare something like which app they use for texting, which are the apps that keep phone awake; what are the alternatives for that app, what are governors people use for normal use! Etc

Depends on your usage. Of course, powersave would be in the running for best battery life, but it would not be ideal if you are a gamer or heavy user. I personally use a governor not available on any of the GB kernels as far as I know (SmartassH3).
Never liked SetCPU. I use No frills; simple UI, allows you to change governor and I/O scheduler, look at some frequency stats, etc.

Is governor suitable for battery saving? I'm a moderate user, I want my phone to sleep like baby, when screen is off and make sure that any app doesn't keeps my phone awake! I have upgraded the version of my better battery stats app. Will post the screen shot of battery stats in a few hours, would you mind if I send you the dump of my usage to you by pm!

SmartassH3 is supposed to be a more battery efficient version of Smartassv2.
I don't think changing your governor will help with sleeping issues. Governors only affect how the CPU ramps up and down. If you have issues with your phone sleeping, then it is most likely one of your apps.
Since you already have BetterBatteryStats, you can easily check partial wakelocks and see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.
I really doubt upgrading the app will change the battery usage of your phone.
If you cared about battery life, being on stock is bad start. Why not use CM7 or CM9?

Just change the rom and Kernel.
You are getting so many bugs and yet you didn't flash new rom.
I recommend that you change roms and see what's best for your phone and your usage.
I'm not sure but the kernel you are using is for gaming I think. ie. More power, less battery.
Anyways here is a battery usage graph :
Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases

-wi-fi connection
-gps
-3G/2G connection
-synchronization
-wallpaper
-vibration

See my current usage now. Attached screenshots.
Edit: for some reason i cannot attach a single screenshot, that is after 11.5hrs on battery.

I read that it's only available on LG Roms but that was just here in the forum, so maybe not the most reliable source. I didn't try aosp yet, but the battery life I get with the Stock Rom is just insane:

I'm running on stock rom and stock kernel. I have disabled locations for google apps, all other apps including wheather are able to check for locations. I have sync enabled for gmail, facebook, wheather, whatsapp and exchange. As you can see I was on wifi most of the time and a few hours on 2G/3G/H. You are right with that xposed stuff! Currently running at 380dpi. My screen brighness is on auto with a preset of 50%. My usage behaviour is moderate and includes checking facebook, whatsapp, emails and xda app. I also do much browsing and a few benchmarks and camera shots. I don't play games that much. Personally I think that disabling NFC, GPS and bluetooth saves you a lot of battery. Smart Stay is also disabled because I don't really need that and it's keeping the sensors awake all the time. I should also mention that I have a flip cover with Quick Window enabled. I hope this helps you a little bit. Most of the battery drain is caused by unneccesary wakelocks.I can recommend to check these wakelocks with an app called 'wakelock detector'. As you can see, in my case there is only 1% of wakelocks, where others have 10-20% and this is what's causing the high battery drain. It's all about optimisation! If you have further questions please feel free to ask (but rather in the battery thread cause this might become a bit off topic).
