Seeing that I don't see one of these posts on here yet why don't we start a post about what ROM/kernel/and how good your battery life is I'm running beanstalk 4.3.1 and toolchains kernel and get 20 hours of heavy usage !

Post a screen shot of battery usage.
Unfortunatly my og kept crashing and I gave up with that ROM and now my battery's terrible:'(

15 hours at 1.0 ghz? Holy cow! You should change the minimum frequency to the lowest setting. You will get waaaay better battery life.
Well I undervolted it by I think by 200 MV?

He's better off figuring out what app is keeping the phone awake so much. 14% deep sleep is horrible. Though. 21 plus hours up with that little deep sleep isn't too bad. Mpdecision turned on by any chance? That might explain the min cpu at 1ghz.

I'm assuming you are using 4.4 so battery apps like BBS do not work on 4.4 so it will be a little more difficult to isolate what drains your battery.
Post a sn of the OS battery stats and trickster showing deep sleep time.
Also did you lower you minimum frequency, or are you still running at 1ghz at idle?
Sent from my LG Optimus G using xda app-developers app
I figured out why it was running at 1ghz and im currently running slimbean 4.3.1 build 2 and undervolted by 150 MV with my freq set 384-1512

i overclock my phone to 1600 - 200 and i dont know what was happening because i sleep at 4am and wake up at 12pm boom! my battery becomes 30%
can someone help me with the exact ratio of your undervolt? and i will make it to my phone because i dont know how to apply undervolting in my galaxy s3 Help!!!

hey man can you teach me how to undervolt ? because my battery drains fast
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
All I did was use stweaks (I have Siyah kernel) and in Undervolt section just set to -50. Job done.
Tried -25 first and hat was fine so tried -50, then -75 but that was unstable so went back to -50.
Then ran stability test for 10 mins which it passed so kept setting and used better battery stats to track battery usage

If you expect a bit more help from other forum maybe a little bit more detail would help. Or you are just trolling.

Assuming the battery is drained at a rate of 1% every 5 minutes, you are going down 12% per hour, which equates to 8.3 hours of battery life. What's the problem again?

Is this happening when sitting idle and the screen is off? That would be a problem. However, as the above post was kind enough to do the math, 8+ hours of use/screen-on time is good.

Still on the low side IMO. The only time I have seen it drain that fast is with 50% or more screen brightness while playing Need For Speed at 1.7GHz and an overclocked GPU.
No I have screen on

I can kill the battery in around 3 hours running a game at full brightness
Lol I'm happy when I get 6 hours+ screen time on below 50% brightness and normal usage (browsing, watching movies, very light gaming occasionally).
Were you guys getting better battery life after a few cycles? My battery life so far is not amazing around 5% drop a minute just browsing on wikipedia researching, so its not even heavy browsing

My battery life has improved quite a bit by flashing the KTmana kernel and underclocking the CPU.
I usually get about 2 days of usage with 7+ hours of screen time on mine before I worry about plugging it in. I have my brightness at the lowest setting the entire time, which I'm sure helps, but there just doesn't seem to be a need for me to have it any brighter.

Really bad move in my opinion, unless they fixed the memory performance problems
They haven't fixed them that much, besides unlocking and installing a new kernal.

I sold that exact tablet for this and haven't looked back for a second. Incredibly slow system and the only way to bandaid it is by unlocking your boot loader which voids your warranty.
The only thing that tablet has over this in my opinion is it charges 10x quicker, and the tablet UI is a lot nicer.
However its your money. You should be the only one who cares. If your happy with that tablet over an N10 then good! The N10 is far from perfect.

So how is battery life on custom roms stacking up to the stock battery life? I'm on rootbox and it feels like I get significantly less stand by time.
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
I get significantly more on rootbox. Check your clock speed. Many people get it so its stuck at a minimum off 1024mhz or whatever. Use faux clock and turn off mpdecision . That will allow you to drop your minimum clock to a much lower setting.
I can't stress enough how well greenify from the market works. That and make sure you have fast dormancy disabled.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not convinced Greenify helps much, if at all. I had installed, but removed it a while back.
On Root box using the modded 192 kernel, uc to 1350.

using rooted Stock ATT JB gets me almost 5 hrs of Screen time in just under 18 hrs ... thats very impressive for me ... and even my battery drops to hardly 1-2% in standby if my data/wifi are off !!
I'm running the HouCha kernels and battery has been pretty good. I'm at 14hrs w/ 31% remaining.

I'm on rootbox and I don't seem to be getting the great battery life I was getting on stock with wake lock fixed.
Both time for having the screen on and standby seem worse. Can't say how much worse just yet as my use fluctuates daily.

Hi everyone, I'm running houstonn's RootBox w/ his 167MHz kernel. Can someone post a screenshot of their CPU voltages? These are the ones Im using, I'm not sure if they are too low.
Sent from my Optimus G using xda premium
I find that anything under 700000 leads to instability on my phone, but if that works for you, by all means go for it.
wow, im using mystery kernel and i can't set below 800mv, use both kernel tuner and faux clock.
Been using this for a day, everything seems to work fine. I keep my max CPU at 702MHz and max GPU at 325
Edit- I also keep two cores completely offline.

What's the point of max 702MHz? That's slower than my old HTC Aria...
I know to each their own, but that just seems to defeat the purpose of having a quad core smartphone.

I agree. With a decent governor, the device spends very little time at higher frequencies anyway, so there is relatively little additional battery drain... But I would imagine you'd run into a fair bit of lag for those times when the higher frequencies are needed...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Can't be terribly snappy with that setup.
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
Like you guys said, with a great chipset, using low frequencies doesn't really take away from the performance, I only notice a slight difference, but my battery was lasting about 1 day 8 hours with 3-4 hours screen on and WiFi on, one to three bars, so not much battery gain. That's why I only used this for a few days testing. That's the whole reason why I posted this thread, I'm trying different settings.

I've never gotten more than that on aosp. Turning data off when not in use helps battery a lot. You can undervolt and and underclock.

I get 4+ hours on 50% LTE and 50% WiFi constantly daily. Im currently UV -150 and use Ondemand Gov/CFQ with 1.5ghz/384. Was just wondering. 4.3 is where I get the most battery life.

Good setup, surprised you got voltage that low without reboots. Use WiFi over data when you can it uses far less power.
