Hey friends I am currently running the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM on my international GS3 i9300 and it is also rooted of course and I don't think I'm being paranoid but my battery life has took a massive drop since rooting my device. I am not overclocking mu CPU and I have tried out some rooted apps like battery saver for example and I actually think it made it worse. I have all the usual setting disabled to allow for optimal battery life like brightness right down, auto sync off, wi-fi off when the phone is locked I also only use the wi-fi manually if and when I need it and all that good stuff like smart stay and vibration off. I am wondering if anyone knows of something I'm not trying???
Had it charged to 100% this morning at 9PM and by 1PM I'm down to 79% already and I haven't made any calls and only used it to check my email and facebook for around 10 mins!!! is this normal for everyone else???
:crying::crying::crying:
Cheers

Sound normal for Sammy JB rom.
Some said Facebook is also causing the battery drains.

Did you reset your battery stats? Charge to 100%, reset battery stats from CWM or delete batterystats.bin -file, let the battery run out.
You might want to use currentwidget to log your battery usage.
I noticed big battery drop between 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 used to get 24 hours one charge 4 hours screen time. Now I get only about 12 hours.
Might just be me :/

I'm using also omega rom v28, have it installed recently. I cannot say how good is the battery with this rom, but so far I have like 56% in 20h, with 2h screen, sopcast 30min, voice cals 37mins....etc (also using wifi manually when needed)
Try out different roms and find out what works for you.
You can also use an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery. Its just to check whats use power.
Don't use batterysaving apps most of the time they are making it worse
I'm running Omega ROM V27.2 and yes it's normal to have a difference about battery life between ICS & JB.
To improve my battery life I installed the phenomenal extreme kernel, and now I'm totally happy with it. You should take a look to its topic in the GS3 Android Development forum. The dev developed 3 versions of his kernel to fit to most of the phone.
Also as others told you, you should get BBS app to point out the wakelocks & define which app is your problem.
Personally, I'm at 45% charged, and already used it during 21h 10m including more than 2 hours screen on. My auto-sync is always on and my WiFi only when I enable it. I'm using a live wallpaper and a lot Twitter.
When I do nothing I can reach more than 2 days.

Hallo,
I have the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM flashed on Thuersday and i´m testing the ROM at a long time.
I use the Phenomenal4.0Medium Kernel and i must say the BatteryLife is very good. I`m working over 15 ours with him and i have 58 % on it.
My WIFI is every time on and Autosync when i use my calender and planners. For me a good app handdling battery life is "GREENPower" in Market Place.
But it´s my idea.
Here is the Link for the phenomenal kernel in xda android Galaxy S3 Deverlopment:

Thanks guys for the info
I will give all this a try and see how I get on. Cheers for all your input.

Thanks for the help I have installed the phenomenal kernal, hope it helps a little.

As he recommends ...identifying and reducing your wakelocks should be your primary concern. Been reading loads from developers that the insecure jb kernels themselves should already provide good battery management.

Hey guys, if you are going to use custom ROM's you should be prepared for bad battery. The developers are adding so many different features and hacking certain apps to make them work in their ROM's without a lot of investigation into what the reprecussions to battery are. I used to always use custom ROM's but haven't installed one in about 6 months and haven't any problems with battery life. I have the latest JB on my 9300 and battery life is very good. I use GSAM to watch apps that want to go rouge and start sucking battery life. Media Player Service is a big offender as is Facebook. Also stock widgets that get placed by these JB ROM's are always pinging for new data and kill battery quickly. Get rid of them! If you have a stock ROM and are getting bad battery, 99% of the time it will be bad apps, your job is to determine which ones they are and apps like betterbatterystats and GSAM work great to help diagnose the issue.
can anybody else confirm the above post? because i am not sure about the custom roms.

I will soon have an S3 so I cannot speak specifically about this device / ROM(s).
What I know from using a lot of Android devices and testing original ROMs vs. custom ROMs:
- original ROMs have too much garbage built-in apps and are slower
- original ROMs have everything working
- custom ROMs are much cleaner and faster
- custom ROMs have (too) much problems, something always not working 100%
- custom ROMs usually have stability & battery issues
My personal advice:
- install latest ORIGINAL ROM.
- root it
- install the free app "App Backup & Restore" from Google Play
- search unuseful apps from Samsung (& others) and block the autorun of these apps (note: do not block basic android or samsung apps, as phone, contacts, etc)
I use this method for 1.5 years and this way my Android is clean (you can save over 100-150Mb RAM), FAST and much better battery. Try it.
In the end, if original ROMs have too many original apps, custom ROMs have to many tweeks that in the end, for my taste, the original ROMs + App Backup & Restore win hands down.

I have always had custom roms on all my android devices but at the moment I am running stock ics in my s3.
I don't think the S3 needs it.
To be honest I find a lot of the stock based roms full of changes I don't really need, ARHD was a great Rom but recently has started to lag really badly for me (and some other users) so I went back to stock just to see and so far I can't complain. Smooth, fast and the battery is as good if not better than the custom roms.
If the camera didn't suck so bad on AOSP I would be there in a instant

Hey everyone
I got little problem here
So here is the situation it had happen 3 times this weak to me
When am using my phone (RR3 or facebook...) it freeze or lagged sometime,
That is natural to happen sometime
But in those 10 days when it lag it freeze for 30 sec/ 1 min
Then it restarts, but when it’s restarted the battery is gone, from 72% to 5% in, how is that possible ???? (pic 1)
And if I don’t put it in charge immediately it will just turn off after minutes!
_Still when I put it in charge and after like 20 min in charge I noticed that had already reached 80% just like if it had not started charging from 5% but from 60% !!! (pic 2)
_And sometime without any freeze or lag, it just turn off after showing that the battery is low 20%
So what is that?? A system / Hardware / or battery life problem??
I have this phone GS2 from 3 year now, and I’m using it like a geek
You could have a bad battery. When it drops to 5%, pull the battery before it fully boots. Wait 10 seconds, and put it back in, and then turn back on. Should help with the battery level indicator

when i said its lagging, i didn't' mean that it lag all time, it lag just in google chrome or RR3 in like 1 from 5
and lagging it doesn't the problem here (cause its normal to lag in some app by all the UPdate and other stuff )
my problem is way when it restart the battery is crushed to the floor
and thanks everyone for the help :laugh: i really appreciate :good:

Yes that's what I was just thinking about, considering that the life of the battery is normal if everything works fine. Well now I'm thinking that all what i need is to update from 4.0.2 to 4.2.2
So is there anyone like a best version of Android

Buddy, you haven't seen the real part of Android yet. Considering your battery issue, remove the battery and simply touch it in the middle. If the battery is swollen or bloated, then you need a new battery (3 years of usage make your battery weaker and subject to faster draining due to deformation of the cells inside the battery). In no doubt, Samsung's Touchwiz is THE main cause of lagging and drain, so here are my suggestions on ROMs that can fix your problem:
1- For 2.3 GB ROMs, go for CyanogenMod 7.2.0 with siyah kernel 2.6 (google the kernel name to find it or ask me for a link just in case)
2- For 4.0 ICS ROMs, go for CyanogenMod 9 stable on get.cm and go for Siyah 5.0.1 stable for more hardware customizing.
3- For 4.1 JB ROMs. well, you can grab CyanogenMod 10 or SlimBean 4.1 old release for the I9100 but I recommend skipping this version of Android (it's too boring)
4- For 4.2 JB ROMs, try Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable. if you love Touchwiz and want a stock experience, try Revolution Rom UX build 2 which is too close to an official 4.2 stock update. When it comes to me, SuperNexus 2.0 is the best 4.2.2 ROM I ever used. Flash Dorimanx 9.43 stable to get more out of your device just in case buddy.
5- For 4.3 JB ROMs, go for CyanogenMod 10.2, or SlimBean 4.3 build 2.2 stable (too awesome), or PAC-MAN ROM, or Carbon, Cyanfox...
6- For 4.4 KK ROMs, try out Cyanogenmod 11.0 nightlies or sanpshots, or go for OmniRom 4.4, or Cyanfox 4.4, or SlimKat, BeanStalk...
It's your choice, and I would recommend installing Dorimanx Kernel above the ROM you choose in order to configure your CPU clock speed and processor governers according to your kind of usage. Good luck :good:

Always happy to help fellow users
Well, the thing is CyanogenMod is no no doubt the best, but as for the 11.0 version, no full stable ROM is out there (at least not the tag), but sure-thing it is stable and getting better through every nightly. To get the daily nightlies which are somewhat experimental and buggy, visit get.cm/?device=i9100 and everything is there.
The nearest or at least more stable version of CyanogenMod 11 is the snapshot release (labeled "M") and it's there too. In case your Internet speed ain't too fast, download it through this torrent file I did (It's CyanogenMod 11 M4): http://burnbit.com/download/280529/cm_11_20140308_SNAPSHOT_M4_i9100_zip
Happy flashing :fingers-crossed:

Hi. I'm having a big problem with my Galaxy SII GT-I9100. It works normally till the battery percentage gets 40%. After that the phone starts to slow down, screen starts blinking, signal gets lost and at last it turns off. All these happen in a few seconds' time. These are what I did:
1.Changed battery 2 times
2.Calibrated battery with 3-4 apps from play market
3.Wiped everything that's possible. Tried using NeatROM, Revolution , Carbon roms.
4.Took phone to master and realized that he knows less than me.
After all these procedures anything has changed. Please help me solving this problem.
Back to stock to test, still problems ? Replace USB board/port; KeithRoss39 has a guide in General that has all the info you need in order to easily do this yourself (it's not stickied, search for 'replace USB charger board' or similar).
My battery was like that, but I did not have any other problem except battery drain when battery reaches %35, %40. It was draining very fast compared to %80 or %70. First, I bought a fake oem battery, but I thought it was original, seller deceived me, it was worse than dead original battery. Than I bought a real original one and problem is solved. Be careful about those oem ones.

Hello,
In order to exactly help you, I advise you to post your currently used firmware (stock Samsung Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean), or if you're using custom OS (CyanogenMod, SlimRom, CyanFox, OmniRom... etc) but anyway, I'll try and help as much as possible. When I had my phone upgraded to stock 4.1.2, I had smooth performance and good battery life. However, after a while, the OS becomes laggy and I get a lot of overheating when the phone should simply go to deepsleep. Simply, I realized that the battery wasn't the problem, but rather, Samsung's TouchWiz was causing the problem. Having owned my phone for a year and 6 months, I get terrific battery life yet through using DorimanX Kernel which can customize your hardware settings to match your kind of usage. Using official SlimKat 3.0 Stable on Dorimanx 10.43v88, I can ger up to 4 days of battery with slight usage even when using Android Run-time. I would rather change the phone's OS instead of buying batteries in your case since changing the stock battery is only optimal in case the battery is bloated (becomes swelled/thickens in the middle). Good luck

I'm currently using Revolution ROM UX 2014 Build 2 Android 4.1.2. It has touchwiz interface, but I've also used Carbon Android 4.3 ROM which had this problem too. I don't believe Dorimanx kernel will fix this problem, but if you're sure about it, I can try.

It took me 5 months to realize that. After 3 months battery was not performing well at all and I understood that something is wrong with the battery. I looked very close to it, but it was still seeming like a original one. I put the original one and the fake one side to side, and I saw the difference. There are some small differences. You have to realize by yourself, because there are a lot of fake batteries.

If you're not sure on how to configure your CPU settings in STweaks, you wouldn't realize any difference, but I can help you with that. One day, I was an ordinary Android user on stock 4.0.4 and rooted my device just to get a game work better using a custom kernel (Siyah btw), and when I realized I could tweak CPU clock speeds and edit some values, I realized that Sammy ROMs are too crappy. At the end, that's what power saving option does,limits your CPU clock speed but still not too cool Anyway, no harm in grabbing a kernel and flashing but after reading your post again, it seems your battery is "hard-luck" one, better buy a new one if you really are facing issues unrelated to software
Hello everyone!
I'm the long-time proud owner of a Galaxy S2 NFC (GT-I9100P): almost 3 years and counting....
After more than two years with stock roms, some months ago, I switched to NeatROM, to see if I could get better battery life (right now I'm on JellyBean: XWMS3 NeatROM v.6.4, kernel 3.0.101-Apolo_4.14_Light-gf40153f).
As of now, I manage to keep the phone on (with some ordinary texting, whatsapp texting, a few twits, 2-4 phonecalls & some internet research per day) for about 13-14 hours (most of the time, I manage to get home with 10% battery or less...I suspect this is also due to bad signal strenght where I work ).
Anyway, I read around the forums flashing a KitKat ROM might squeeze a little more battery juice, thanks to its "optimizations", yet I also read it might bring out battery draining issues...so I'm a bit at loss...
Would you recommend me to update my phone to KitKat, or would you suggest to stick to JellyBean?
I'm posting a poll. DO please also add your considerations to your vote.
Thank you in advance,

Sry in advance, I'm replying using the app and I found no way to vote here.
My experience I've made is generally the Samsung based roms like miui, fusion or neat rom are good at battery life. I think Samsung did a nice job there.
Custom roms which aren't based on stock rom didn't have the same good battery life for me.
Thinking about KitKat roms I've made the experience that the phone often had some wakelocks, I couldn't reproduce. I also read other user had the same problems as well.
So in summary i didn't get better battery life there either.
For me best battery life can be found at stock rom based roms.
Talking about battery life, I'd recommend you to try apolo kernel, as this kernel seems to improve it, especially by using undervolting.
Good luck finding a good rom. :thumbup:

My recomendation is try for yourself.
Battery drain is very dependant on the way the phone is used.
I have my supported S 2 running AOSP Neatrom and use three apps to help with battery drain: Greenify, Leandroid and Unbounce. The first requires Xposed for full funcionality and the third is a Xposed module.
I really do not like Touchwiz roms and prefer to have AOSP richier UI configuration. With the apps above you might be able to move to AOSP and still have a battery life that is good enough for you.
And remember, after a few years of use batteries loose performance. Just get a new one and you certainly will have more juice by the end of the day.

For marshmallow try cm13 marcox89 build
Nogut, not yet stable, i suggest cm11 latest slimsaber build for best performance ever, and battery life of course.

Not sure about video tutorials, but there are multiple guides available here in xda to repartition your phone to increase system partition size and to be able to flash any rom
U can follow this guide if you prefer using pc, it's easier for me as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...vatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162/
Or this tool made by lanchon for non pc users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tool-lanchon-repit-data-sparing-t3358036/
I believe there is a video guide somewhere, you can try googling, and you may find It.

Battery depends on how you use the device more than it does on what ROM you're using. It's all in how you use it.

Whatever ROM it may be, I have never been able to pass more than 2 hours of screen on time.

Well, not for me, i pass more than 2 hours
It depends on your usage at first, and the stock rom or stock based roms are the best battery life roms.
Because jellybean is the best in battery life for now

Any tips you can give me ? It would be perfect if i could reach close to 3h or something. I am using the latest LineageOS build right now.

well, as i told you it depends on usage, i uninstalled Facebook and i used lite instead, but after all i don't actually reach 3 hours on lineageOS 14.1, but the stock rom or neat rom are the best in battery life, you also might want to try latest slimsaber kitkat build, it has great balance between performance and batterylife, i'm on AICP 12.1 build 7/2, the screen on time isn't bad but something is wrong with screen off, it drains battery, might be a wakelock issue......or if you want to stick to lineageOS, you can just relieve your mind, and buy an extended battery, because our battery isn't built to stand high system usage like in newer androids..

Custom stock-based ROM like NeatROM will make it possible to reach 3+ SOT depending your usage and hardware. Using Apolo kernel with small UV may be able to extend your battery life slightly.
Slimsaber KitKat is one of the ROMs I've tested to have comparable battery life while maintaining good performance. Anything after KitKat is slow and bloated (also heavily depends on RAM management and etc).
Wow
That helped alot bro thanks....
No problem with the battery
I'm using OFFICIAL 7.1.1 LineageOS 14.1 on my GT-i9100 with 1-6G pit.
I have done much reading about the subject and few experiments - so the following, so far, works best for me and i like it(i dont have any games nor chat apps):
I started with nano gapps and then installed ca 20 more apps.
I have a new battery "Polarcell" - i kept strictly its manufacturer instructions about first time use.
About the battery levels i'm using few methods on my rooted phone:
- "Power save" profile all the time.
- one program for apps hibernation in which i added many apps to take care of( i don't really know whether that helps ).
- In the "Kernel Adiutor" i changed on boot three options - CPU Governor "Pegasusq", I/O Sheduler "Noop" and TCP Algorithm "Reno"
- With another app i disabled "starting on boot" most of the programs which i don't see a reason to be active right after rebooting.
- I don't know whether this is relevant to you but check if google voice is using your mic all the time - i had that problem with my guitar tuner app.
- My Home screen is completely black with 160bytes png-24 little file.
- I'm trying use dark themes with all apps when possible.
- No Shadows under the text of the apps names.
Of all 7.1.1 ROMs this one(OFFICIAL 7.1.1 LineageOS 14.1) works best for me in all aspects and i'm very thankful to the LOS team.
Btw: I have tested other most popular 7.1.1 N roms and with one of them after i woke up my phone was shut down - 0% battery.
Just sharing my experience with the hope that it will help someone.

Can you provide a list of apps you use for hibernation and power saving?
Also Can you tell how much is your usage of social netoworking/internet apps? Like 2 hours 4 hours a day or all day? Does Viber/WhatsApp etc keep running and WIFI is connected all day?
Also do you use WIFI most parts of the day or 3g/4g network for data?
Can you tell how much hours a day you spend on calls and how much on SMS? E.g. 1 hour or SMS and 3 hours call each day?
What kind of battery do you use? What is the current rating of the battery?
Lastly, how many hours of screen time do you get with no calls? How many hours of usage with 2-3 hours of calls each day? How many times do you have to charge your phone with your current setup?
I am using DND on my i9100 and I want to change it. I use a double battery which I checked (via digital multimeter) that offers 16Amps (8Amp + 8Amp =16,000 mAh) but still with no usage (just receiving sms, not sending), I get only 2 days of standby time. With internet usage like Viber+whatsapp, i get maximum 6 hours which compared to available power in the battery is very less. I should be getting more time.
Can you please reply with the details in my request? Thanks

Are you saying that the new battery is dead? Are you saying it won't charge?
