Hello all, I'm on cm9.1 by fxp and I'm experiencing high battery drain, I'm using speedy sola 5.5 as kernel, tried different governors, I'm temporarily on conservative it seems the one that drains less, tried also powersave but then phone is too laggy, Max frequency 1k, I'm also using juice defender to turn off data while screen off. I also did battery calibration
Anyone has any tips to share? Ty

Everytime i have battery drain i do a clean install. And i always use provided kernel from FXP with interactive.
Since i am on FXP kernel and interactive - never faced battery drain.

Don't use juice defender. Use FXP kernel. Try out Greenify, Seeder, Smart Ram booster.

Set auto-sync OFF for all( gmail, facebook)..
Select all your apps in greenify except ram booster and place a Hibernate now shortcut on the homescreen, click on it whenever you end up playing heavy games or do hard multitasking.
You may try out SlidingXU kernel. InteractiveX with sio gives best battery life. With these settings my battery won't drop a single percent when not in use.
Good Luck..

Which ICS ROM and kernel combination is best for good battery backup.
I have tried CM9 with FXP 127 kernel but the battery backup was not good.
Please suggest some ROM.
I am using Live with walkman (Wt19i)
Thanks in advance

Battery Backup Help
Any suggestion for battery backup please, I have Xperia Mini Pro SK17i ICS 4.0.4, since, i updated to ICS i'm experiencing very low battery backup, any suggestion and help will be really appreciated.
I have wt19i aka LWW as well. I used ICS and for battery life it was horrible, though I liked it. Anyway, I searched many forums and they recommend SonyDroid. I just installed that and it appears to be fine, though still have no idea about the battery. Here is the page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626455
The problem is that the walkman button does not work. In fact you have to install a zip to get Xperia player as a workaround to this problem. The DEV says version 7 will be around soon which hopefully fix this problem.

ICS stock ROM has an battery life issue..
Solution: Unlock BL(at your own risk ofcourse), then flash a custom Kernel like KRsH kernel or FXP 132 Kernel.. these kernels give better battery life as compared to stock kernel..
Further, you can more enhance the battery life using No-frills CPU Control (Google Play).. the recommended governor and I/O schedular IMO is SmartassV2 or Interactive and Sio repectively..

Which kernel would go best with CM9 when it comes to maximum battery saving. I am currently running FXP kernel on my Sk17i and I am recieving very poor battery performance. Also what would be the best governer for the same?
Right now cm9 supports only fxp kernel.

underclock your phone and use governer smartass v2 and also check the battery status that which app is draining your battery faster.

Please write out the words, that we can read it like a normal text! Don't only use shortcuts!
flash eXteneded stock kernel.
best and most popular governor is smartassV2
I use 249MHz min CPU freq and max 652MHz
652MHz is undervolted at 975mV
It runs really smooth with this much underclock! though I'm on GB right now....
Ya,should hav written it out full,sry.
But Im usin real ics...cant underclock...I hav to keep it @ 1184mhz,otherwise its gets stuck.or should I jst change the Rom....used miui,even it consumed a lot of batt.nu ideas....plz.

Underclocking depends on kernel, not ROM?
I've tried ICS. I have used it for a couple of months. But I then reverted to GB. It's faster, lighter, less resource hungry, no lags etc.
It's a matter of personal preference I think.
Try to choose a light ROM. With only a few performance scripts/enhancements, no excess/unnecessary apps. Real ICS as good as it is, is pretty heavy in my opinion.
~652 MHz ~ 247 MHz

Doesn't make no sense to overclock to 1184MHz.....
And 134MHz actually drains more power then 249MHz. I really wish I could give you a link to see for yourself, but I read that some time ago.
134MHz and 249MHz run on the same voltage. But 249MHz gets any job done faster then 134MHz, thus using much less CPU time. And you won't have any stuttering when playing music while screen's off with 249MHz.
That goes for all kernels. All of them have 249MHz as default min freq. Execpt MESA, which seems fine with 134MHz as far as I've seen.
Anyway, please test for yourself. Get battery monitor widget (pro). It's THE best tool for batter monitoring etc.
Thanks,I'll try.

I like Rage Kernel
Mesa for battery, Panic for performance
Sent from my WT19i
How about rooting your Android phone? you can choose CynogenMod, best available so far. When you ask about battery life there some that you should considered first.
1. What are the Apps that sucking most of your battery life.
2. Some Apps has tendency to run on background and connect to internet every time, such Apps prone to suck most of your battery life. if you have such Apps installed, are they really necessary? if not then quickly uninstall it. I will give you better battery life.
If you planning to custom rom, you may end up with some compromise, search and find that those compromise are really compromise? is not they rush for custom rom and I suggest CynogenMod.
If you find my information is helpful, a thank will be appreciate. :good:
For me - Do use MESA or Rage Both great on battery life
Now using MESA
Can anyone make a customkernel for cm10 with more governers and scheduler like sirkay's ray kernel and with undervolt?
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Mini Pro mit Tapatalk 2
mesa ftw :highfive:
only because i cannot connect wifi with rage and panic...
Definitely, MESA is great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715679
I use mesa ... And install no frills from play store and set governor to smartassv2 and scheduler to noop for even better battery life!

there is a screen shot i found about whish kernel is best perform for batt life.
i hope it will help u...
I'm using panic kernel right now, and i can say that mesa kernel is a better option if you want a better battery life :good:
We all know that our ace sucks on battery & after finding that calibration is a myth, I was kinda broken The only thing that helps us long on our battery is underclocking. There was no thread for this, so I decided to create one ! So guys, please share your frequencies, governors, I/O scheduler, rom name, kernel used & battery life for varied usages ( less, moderate & heavy ). If underclocking hasn't decreased your performance but at the same time if it has improvised battery life then it's worth sharing ! Help people love their battery that hate it like hell now

Why underclock the whole thing if you can just set a screen off profile? Using the phone while under clocked won't really give much battery. The Ace is a battery hog during screen on either way no matter what clock it's set at. All of you guys use your phone differently so that's why your battery usage varies.
Y U NO CHECK MY SIGNATURE?!

Battery keeps normally 16-24h (no flight mode in the nigh) depending on usage.
I load battery until 4pm and can use phone until next day up to 24h

Rom : PacMan Rom v22.0.0
CPU Max : 748MHz
CPU Min : 122MHz
Governor : Smartass V2
Stable and less never heats (which means less crashes)
I use Screen off Profile for underclock, Smartass, around 700 max and 200 min..
Dont use now as I amon ultimatum rom and I am testing it so dont need that but mostly I use these settings and Battery lasts 2 days
I dont play games
After trying out many ROMs and trying various combinations of Clock Speed and Govnors, i personally feel that:
FOR BETTER BATTERY LIFE- Clock Speed: 245 - 787, Govenor- ONDEMAND (am getting 1d 5 hrs battery life with 2 hrs talktime, full time 2G connected and 3 hrs wi-fi browsing using Battery Extender 1.2)
FOR PERFORMANCE: clock: 245- 806, Govnor- SMARTASSV2
To save Battery you can further UnderClock it but I feel 787 is apt.
