Hi.. my first experience with S2 has not been great battery wise. I've found the battery life to be horrible. Even with all the battery saving features i.e. static background, widgets off, etc. etc., I have to charge the device twice a day. Its practically useless. I was thinking maybe there's some 3rd party ROM out there which would improve the battery life? I'm currently running stock 2.3.4. Any suggestions would be welcome..
try mikimod"s rom its really good for battery, and also sicopat<s rom< and modaco i find they are the best for longer battery
I've used VillianROM, Cognition, and CyanogenMod. I find that CyanogenMod gives the best battery, but your mileage may (or will, most likely) vary.

And you STILL do not know where to post? You have got to be kidding me. This belongs in GENERAL. Because I do not see how this is related to DEVELOPMENT.
Now that I have bashed your face in. I get 40-50 hours out of my phone. Try GREEN POWER from the market. It turns your data off when the screen are off. Also See my sig for what I run.
Hyperandoid1.3.2 with speedmodk2-1 gave me a battery life of over 2 days.

You will get mixed answers. People run different roms with different kernels. Some do a full discharge/charge before judging these kind of things, some don't. In the end the most important factor will be apps and usage.
Try what works best for you. And post in q/a section next time.

The best choice to make is on my signature.
Is not only the most battery wise, but also the most quick and the most smooth.

Best Rom So Fare.........
( SensatioN Rom 1.8 )
( Based on 2.3.5 XXK13 )
this is none wipe Rom.
Excellent review..
Try It..
Hope you'll Sensation Rom.
Before trying other roms/kernels check to see which apps are draining your battery so much, as for dual core phones the GS2 battery is really good, so in normal situations you shouldn't have to charge the battery twice a day.
I'm in Wanam 5.1 + siyah kernels and as many other users i get +2 days of battery.
@antiochasylum I've hardly had the need to post. In any case, any moderator can feel free to move this thread to General. @Sesshou about 57% is display. Rest of the entries are all negligible. Yet the batter evaporates..
Why no one mentioned MIUI ROMs..?
Are they not good in terms of battery life..?

Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.3
I have tried lots of roms,the best battery life i have found is Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.3 with voltage control,it will take a lot too make me change again!
I use the Goatrip Rom 1.4 with Angelos Kernel Abyss 2.2
Look at screensshots, that says all :
Display on time was about 3:30h
3g On, Data no the hole time, i turn it om when i need it

2. pic with Samsung 2000mAh accu
Try Hyperdroid. Over 24 hours of medium-high usage..
Hello folks..I've installed Resurrection Rom V1.0 after using the stock unrooted 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
Firstly i don't see any issues with the Rom itself,everything seems to be working as it should.
But despite having seen an improvement on standby battery consumption,when i'm using the phone,even the slightest of use with screen on,i have around 1-2% battery drop per minute,which is much more than before upgrading..Display settings are at minimum brightness,lowest screen timeout,removed any sound/vibration when using phone..Is this consumption normal or am i doing something wrong?FYI,in battery usage there isn't any app using a lot of battery other from Display..
Thanks in advance.
Download from market cpu spy and check if you phone is going in deep sleep. Also find better battery stats and see which app is keeping awake you phone
ics battery is very bad

According to CPU Spy my phone's going in deep sleep..I've installed Juice Defender to achieve better battery life when the phone is awake,but i didn't see much difference..The main problem occurs when the phone is awake.That's when i see 1-2% drop each minute i'm using the phone.I thought that ICS battery usage was improved when using the phone ,not only in standby..
Juice Defender wont help it will only cause more wakelocks. Try flashing syiah kernel beta 7 and then undervolt it using set cpu or voltage control. The battery life in ics isnt very good yet just like it was in 2.3.3. I imagine it will get better. You say you loose 1 to 2 percent when the screen is on, thats not a issue of deep sleep. your best bet is to try undervolting which will improve your battery life.
had the same issue with that rom so i just switched to GB again
now im getting lot of battery juice

I've flashed siyah kernel beta 6,but didn't mess with voltage..I tried beta7,didn't got it to boot after updating..One last question..In order to undervolt through set cpu or voltage control do i need to tamper with init.d settings?
no.... just undervolt and it will save u battery, use noop and conservative for your governor.
I installed Voltage Control but it doesn't show any options for undervolting and no conservative governor either..Clearly i'm missing something..
By the way,since i'm new to custom roms..Got any idea if CM9 is better on battery life?
yes it is a asop rom though, meaning its not based off of samsung, so vedio recording dosnt work yet. If you can loose that then i would try a asop rom. My favourite was Hydrogen Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530179
It mixes cm9 and AOKP for the best of both worlds, when u was using it i was getting amazing battery life. Also AOKP lets you customize the rom and its really really cool.
Summing it all up i would go for Hydrogen if you dont need the vedio camera!!
Thanks for all the info mate!!
I guess i'm gonna try them all and see...The only thing i might miss is the samsung app store,since in my country it had a lot of great deals and free games/apps..
No problem, and you can download the samasung app store. apk store on google probably and put it on your sd card and then just install it and i would assume it would work, worth a try!

I can't thank you enough mate!I was just looking around for hydrogen rom,seems very nice..I'll try it and the Samsung app too and later in the day i'll give you an update!
Thanks again for all the help!
It seems i'll be sticking with CM9 after all,for some reason Hydrogen seem to hang now matter how many clean installs i did..I found the Samsung Apps workaround,but not with the apk you provided(thanks anyway).
There's a solution i found.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561384 and it works like a treat..!
Good to hear. create a backup of your cm9 rom then flash hrdrogen stright over it with no wipe. that should work! if not restore from backup
Hi guys! I am new here, and glad to be a part of this big community.
Recently i bought a new Samsung Galaxy S III. The phone was running stock ICS 4.0.4.
Because i am really stupid, and like to make all my gadgets "better", i installed Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Polonia, from Sammobile.
The problem is... THE BATTERY, IT'S HORRIBLE! 3-5% over night discharge, with 30% light, no Wi-Fi, no Sync, only H+.
In a little game, like Doodle Jump, Jetpack Joyride or Jumping Slime, 15 minutes of gameplay and 3-4% battery is gone.
I have the Clockworkmod recovery installed, and i did a full charge and wipe battery stats... the battery got better, but no like on ICS.
What should i do... i would like to install ICS back, but i see that it's kind of laggy, and doesn't got manny features.
I don't like to install a Custom ROM, like Ressurection Remix, AOKP and stuff like that...
Furthermore, on the curent Jelly Bean i was had installed Siyah Kernel and i undervolted my CPU with -50mV, and still no improvement.
What should i do? Back to ICS? The battery life was great in games/aplications...
Thx for any reply!
Cheers!
no, no, no, no, NO!! Best rom threads arent allowed and are not looked upon lightly! Roms are entirely based on personal preference....flash a few and see which ones offer the best battery life FOR YOU!! And its not unusual for games and mobile data to use battery. Its inevitable really dude....

No... the thing is, i want a RECOMMANDATION, for the best stock ROM. On this forum there are many Galaxy S III users... what is the best ROM for their devices?
For me, the best ROM, was ICS 4.0.4, and i hadn't got any major battery drain like this. But i want to hear some opinions on this subject.
And no more useless reflashing... i am afraid that my NAND will be corupt. I flashed my phone like 5 times in a week, trying to establish the best ROM.

install the app better battery stats, and charge your phone up then leave it to idle for a couple of hours then report back with screen shots of kernel wakelock, and partial wakelock
Apart from that Google now causes some extra drain due to using location services.check what you are syncing (I suggest getting rid of the whole Samsung account/backup set up and disabling Google back up
3-5% isn't really that bad, neither is 3-4 % in 15 minutes of gameplay, considering normal screen on drain is approx 10%/hour

You said it yourself "trying to establish the best rom" their is no best rom....what gives you huge performance in terms of battery might suck for someone else....every device is different. And if you flashed your device 5 times in a week then my nand must be screwed because ive tried every galaxy S3 rom. It takes more than you think to damage your nand dude

Ok... i will install ICS back.
The JB battery really sucks. Only 5 minute call and checking some emails and 7% gone.
I think the battery is exactly the same..i was getting 6hrs screen on time on 4.0.4 and im still getting 6 hrs on dlib and its much faster

InsertCoin is best.
It haves stock (stable) kernel, full debloat (~100 mb more ram), alot of optional user tweaks, and many behind the scenes mods for maximum smoothness and perfomance
If only people could understand that what's best for Person A, might not suit Person B at all. It's a matter of one's own preference and it's imperative to try roms out yourself.
sigh.... I'm just going to paste my response from one of the many other best rom threads
These best rom threads are getting out of hand...
What's the best rom for me might be the worst for you.. It's subjective.
It's like asking who's the hottest girl in the world, or which sports car is the nicest.. It all depends on the person being asked and if you ask in a forum you will be a different answer from everyone.
The only way to find out the best rom for YOU is to try them all until you find the one that's "best" for you and your needs..

I have just got this phoen today. I have rooted it using this method I have installed cm 10.1 and for some reason my battery is draining really fast. I have all the radio disabled, as well as brightness and sync have been turned off. I would say from fully charge my phone is drained flat in like 5 hours. I have tried SiyahKernel v6.0b5 and performance x mod, but for some reason i dont think they have any effect. Please help many thanks
Get of siyah and install dorimanx 9.Xx as soon as you can. Don't use siyah with cm as may kill your phone. I seen it happen on here before

Thanks for the heads up. What are the best settings to use with dorimanx 9xx and cm 10.1
Stock for two days at least then drop by -25 a time then test for two days if ok drop again -25. Do the group test in stweaks to see what group your on. 1 is bad 4 is good. Don't worry to much about that as I'm group 1 and I can Uv by -50 and no sleep of death at all. You can reset stweak settings in cwm recovery that comes with dori if it go's bad. Fool proof really. Just don't drop to quick as all s2 are different.

Also get better battery stats and keep an eye on what's running in the background to save even more. To be honest cm is not that good for battery but it can be with tweaking :thumbup:

or you can use the kangbang kernel since in my opinion is better with cm10.1 but you have to enable zzmove and row in setcpu Its just my opinion and if it still drains try to instal the latest cm10.1 nightly with full wipe ( wipe data, cache, dalvik ) and instal battery stats program to monitor your drain

Thanks for the tips guys, ill try them all out and let you know. The problem with the battery is that it would ddrain from 100% to about 57%,roughtly about 1% every 3 minutes. When the battery is at 53%, if the phone is turned off or reset, the battery would be at 20% or 14%, then battery needs charging message comes up about 10 minutes later
Try disabling cLock weather geolocalization. When i was on CM10.1 it was the main cause of high battery drain.
Hello everyone.
