Hi, my phone's battery life is bad, could someone tell me some battery tweaks? I always have brightness on lowest, location services off and more.. But still bad battery life
The best battery tweak is an additional battery. Thank goodness our phones have replaceable batteries.

Hi, I know battery life is super dependent on usage patterns, but can you guys chime in on how much battery life these "tweaked" ROMS are adding?
Some info is better than none. Are we talking in the range of 10% or more in the range of say, 50% better?
Same question for adding an aftermarket battery like the Anker. Are your run times improving by 10% or much more than the extra mAH would suggest?
Thanks

In my experience about 10-25% depending on the room.
Hi guys. My SIII's battery life is horrible. How can I have a good battery life ?
You can always do the obvious things like turn off mobile data, wifi, sync when not needed and you could also turn brightness down to reduce screen power usage,
The other option you have is to flash a new kernel such as siyah kernal, which you can underclock your cpu and gpu to prevent battery drain.

Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks first.

It was truly helpful, thank you for the tip.
betterbatterystats indeed, however I'm having some issues with the support permissions on jb.
Also check the battery life post in the general forum for some tips

I think screen brightness is the biggest drainer.
Plenty of focus on all ROMs have been performance and battery life has not been so good. Request a ROM that focuses on battery life, for those that are away from a charger during a 14 hr. work day.

Have you thought about purchasing an extended battery ?
Or
Simply limit your processor, brightness, radio connectivity, and use am android firewall to limit which apps can and can't use data/WiFi. Also ensure you have good settings in your task manager

I get 2-3 days out of my 2400mAh-battery, using MIUI and the forbidden kernel.
I can't complain at all about battery life.
Everything runs silky smooth at 192/1180mHz - xondemand
A little undervolting and a little gpu underclock.
I think poor battery life is more "user error" than something to call dev attention for.
There are plenty of guides on how to maximize battery life on the web and on xda.
2 tips from me, because many guides get it wrong or fail to mention:
- This app lets you schedule autosync. With some care and thought when setting it up, you can be always up to date without your phone snycing all the time. If you need to be in second-precise sync-though, it's not for you.
- Wifi off @ screen off is a myth. I have set my wifi to be on all time for months now and haven't noticed any decrease in battery life. If anything, it's better now.
I use mwakious, forbidden kernel at 1512 mhz and an anker 1900mah battery and get about 19-24 hours no problem
Try using Juice Defender too
I've also noticed keeping wifi connected all day is drastically less harsh on the battery than 3g.
I get awesome battery life with mentioned banned kernel and meanrom. I just switched to another rom and not sure about battery life there yet or i'd share
What automated solutions are there to test my phone's battery life?
How does AnTuTu Tester for battery life work? Do I have to manually close every program and set various settings like WiFi and GPS or does the program do it?
I want to compare the battery life of two batteries accurately.
Thanks.
Very Poor battery life.
I do amost nothing on the phone and the battery runs down fast.
Its a new battery maybe 3 days use.
I have the latest beanstalk rom on it.
Any ideas?

Yes....KK sucks battery down. If you get a day your good.
How many processes are running in background?
Could make some difference

The note has terrible battery life in general. However Beanstalk has pretty decent battery life relative to other roms. Some things you can do to track your battery life is get BetterBatteryStats from the playstore and see if there is an app or service that is draining your battery.
You might want to try a battery saver app?
I can recommend you try turning off sync option as there maybe apps that push (or even worse pull) too often causing a huge battery drain as well. I recommend only trying that to see which apps cause a battery drain if that is the case.
