I am planning to buy S3 and wanted to ask few questions about phone as I am choosing between S3 and One X+, my questions are
1) how is the battery life? what is the average time you get while screen on?
2) Is phone laggy sometimes?

already many identical posts are available. take some time to search.
battery life is great!
the phone is not laggy until we use it too much heavily. i prefer S3. :good:
The battery life is excellent, you can choose to root it and fool around trying different kernels and ROMs to try to boost your battery life. Its not laggy at all.
Currently using slimROM . After 11 hours and 50 minutes on battery, and using it for a total 3 hours 45 minutes with GPS, WIFI, 4G, tons of texting, browsing, and Facebook use, its not bad. . You would probably get better life on stock since TouchWiz has a much better battery life than AOSP ROMs

Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!
Please lemme know your personal findings!
Thanks
BTW All posts will be thanked

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.

The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.
Please! More opinions and thoughts!

Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.
Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.
i get about 17 hours with about 5.30 hours of display on samsung based ROM but then again it all depends on what you use your cell for
Thanks for all the input keep em coming!

Any screen on times for aosp? Thx!
I'm thinking about buying an Atrix and putting an ICS rom on it.
For those of you who have an Atrix with ICS, what sort of battery life are you getting? Also, let me know what Rom you're using?
JOYOS V3 Excellent battery life

CM9 & AOKP both have excellent battery life.
Currently on AOKP 37a.
Atrix Head
So in terms of hours, how many many are you guys looking at?
These are guesstimates and not hard numbers since I dont actively keep track, but in my experience its been on par with Gingerbread. About 5 hours continuous use with the screen on, lasts between 1 and 3 days depending on how heavily its used.
Im thinking about buying a rezound what do you guys think about it battery wise and performance, Roms ect just your overall experience with the phone

if u're heavy user u should get another phone or extended battery which make it pretty big
the main disadvantage in Rezound is the battery
the roms and performance is gr8
Development is pretty active, and I never had complaints about the performance, but the battery is absolute trash. Even with the extended, I was only getting 4 hours out of the screen.
I personally think this is a good phone overall. Its fast, has good camera, a beautiful screen, and has many hidden capabilities that you can uncover when you root it. However the battery life does suck. It could last you all day if you don't use it a lot,but if your a heavy user with it then you won't like it. But its all up to the user. I have the global ruu on it and it made the battery life better which i'm glad. I have it on T-Mobile
pro: performance, screen, camera, signal,
con: battery life,

have to tell you htc has stopped producing REZOUND for one year and a half. kinda out of date.
Your better off at this point paying for a note and unlock boot loader or get a HTC one+ or get what ever they make with a tega4i

Hi,
I keep on trying various ROMs available. I have noticed that on the same usage pattern 20 hours after a charge stock ROM or stock based ROMS give me around 2 hours to 2.15 hours of screen on time on 3G/2G but if I use AOSP based ROM Omega or earlier the CM it gives me hardly 1.15 hours of screen on time and it dies! Does anybody experience it? Any ways to improve battery life on OMEGA ROM to match it with Sammy ROMS?
I use minimal apps including whatsapp, location on, gmail on push sync,twitter, a little of music max 1 ~1.5 hrs. Also have installed same Kernel Agni with same profiles extreme battery saving or normal-optimized! But still I find so much of difference!
Another thing I have noticed I use 700 mAh charger to charge my phone, it takes around 3 hours on Sammy ROMs but it charges like in 2 or 2.15 hrs on Omega/AOSP based ROMs.
Can anyone help me to understand if you face similar issues? any solutions? any way we can improve battery life on Omega? Please don't tell to turn off location that has hardly helped me!
P.S. Omega ROM version 4.4.2 everywhere! and Sammy ROM 4.3 everywhere!

Hey thanks for reply! I don't want to actually stay on lower frequencies! 1.4GHz max is ok! I wanted to know have you experienced such things with Sammy vs AOKP/AOSP/CM ROMS ? Already s3 is laggiest devices I have >.>

I am currently running Insertcoin 2.5.0 and have been getting bad battery life. My use is mostly just browsing, watching Youtube videos, flipboard, and I don't really play games. My service is usually 4 or 5 bars and I have tried monitoring my use with Gsam. I can not get even to 2.5 hrs. or screen on time. I have tried various roms but had the same or worse result most of the time. I know my battery isn't bad because, just to test, I used the original Verizon Sense 4 rom that came with the phone and with the same use, had great battery life, easily able to get 3.5 hrs. or screen on time. I don't want to use Sense 4 however so, what are some of the great roms for battery life? I prefer sense but aosp/aokp works also, just as long as there is good battery life.
Thanks
Best rom thread is not allowed in xda.. Do experiment yourself
Greetings,
As stated above there is no "best rom"
Best thing to do is read and flash and find what works best for you.
Thread closed.
