Hi xda forum users...
I recently got cyanogenmod9 for my phone and the battery life is terrible.
Samsung galaxy gio
Moderate texting
Wifi on but turns off during sleep
No calls
No games
I really like cm9 but I also like battery life being longer

Ok I dont use ur phone so i am not sure if what i say might be accurate. From what i can see, ur phone was only supported my Samsung till android 2.3. Which probably means that your phone doesnt have a proper kernel for android 4.0.4 on which cm9 is based on. So probably the kernel being used isnt fully stable, hence ur battery life is terrible, I would suggest u stick to a gingerbread (android 2.3) ROM with a stable kernel to enjoy good battery life. It could also be that ur battery might actually be spoilt. Is there any slight bloating on ur battery?

The kernel which was compiled for the your phone might not be fully stable yet causing the battery drain. If there is a new version of that rom try updating to that and see if that fixes the problem.

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!
So I was getting very poor battery life on my Galaxy S II running Cyanogenmod 9 stable. As shown on the screenshot, my battery lasted only about 7 hours it requires a charge. I wasn't running a live wallpaper nor I was running any intense app. I tried to calibrate my battery but there was no improvements. May I know what's wrong? I didn't had some poor battery life while I was on previous roms such as checkrom and even the stock rom. Any helps appreciated. Thank you!

ah that not so bad, sorry i dont have a samsung (looking for a battery life thread but cant find one)

hello,
iam switching between samsung rom and aosp roms lately and the battery life keeps me wondering.
using a custom kernel and slimbean (ie.) the battery life rly improved compared to a few months now, but WIFI takes still more battery compared to samsung roms.
is that normal? any advises for that? ive exactly the same apps and 0 wakelocks cause of other apps (everything tweaked rly).
but still WIFI takes 1,5%/h on an aosp rom.
any experiences on that?
what are ur results?
I'm on CM 10.1 and the wifi consumes more battery for me either. but I'm not much bothered about it 'cause i charge the battery whenever needed.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

Hello there,
I'm just looking for some help regarding my abismal battery that I'm using in my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I have recently updated my handset to the latest release of Android Jellybean 4.1.2 and the battery life sucks!
I do the usual "Turn off your WiFi and Bluetooth, GPS" e.c.t but I barely get a day from a full charge.
I am thinking about downgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread as I got a lot more from my device with these Operating Systems.
What should I do?
Many Thanks
Kieran.
You cant expect more than a day with jellybean 4.1.2, your phone run fast, with lots of features. All you can do is flashing unofficial rom, which got tweaks to save battery. Or upgrade your smartphone with official battery pack 2000mah which extend your battery life lots.
Im running Omega v24 based on official jelly bean 4.1.2 and upgraded battery samsung 2000mah and battery life is amazing to compare what this software offers.

Seconding the genuine 2000 mAh battery pack. The back cover that comes with it just makes your phone flush instead of having the weird inward bulge that the stock battery gives you. Even cooler!
I'm currently happy running NeatROM 4.8.

Well there are loads of custom roms dat will give u good battery life and loads of customization options..I have rooted my S2 the day i bought it .. Neat ROM, WanamLite, are some good Samsung based ROMS..Rock STABLE.. I have tried em all.. and good battery life also.
Currently am running on ASNET MIUI V5 rom.. excellent feel..and good battery..faster response..u can also try it..
am sure this ld b helpful for u..dunt wry bout the battery drain..try coming to custom roms and enjoy the full potential of S2
Hit the Thanks Button if u think the info was helpful..
Cheers mate
Im on neat rom lite and my battery life is great. Current build is 5.2. There are great roms out there but for me neat rom wins hands down. Give it a try.

BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and/or GSAM Battery Monitor is the place to start... And by the way, CM9 is Android 4.0.x
This questions is kind of like asking "I get terrible gas mileage when I run premium fuel in my car, but good mpg when I run regular unleaded, why is that?"... The answer may be as simple as your "driving faster and farther"... What I am saying is a little more information is needed, because you are not giving enough in your original post.

i tired CM 10 & up..i have 2 charge my battery twice daily without usin wifi..even when my phone's screen switched off, i c my battery runnin out fast!!! on the other hand, in same usage 4 stock roms or any rom without CM..i only recharge my battery once daily n it gives more than a day..i gave up CM cos of this problem n i returned back 2 stock roms n roms without CM..i m complicated from CM..i think all of CM r the same n have the same problem in battery!!!
Please read my last post and try some of those tools to see what's either keeping the phone awake or is draining the battery. There is nothing in the core operating system of any Android version that is going to drain the battery
