Reason I made this post is that I have been browsing around and I've been seeing some okay benchmark scores and avg battery life. Although my benchmark score and battery life is far beyond what I've seen reviewed and posted. After a full charge my battery life goes for 15 hours on normal use and my AnTuTu benchmark score is 79600. Would be great to know the others avg battery life and benchmark scores. I'm just curious I'm not putting much weight on it. Also if anyone would like to know how I've managed to get these numbers I'd be glad to show you all.

you guys might think i'm crazy for asking this but i think there is an option is STweeks in Siyah's kernel. I'm only asking those who just use their phone for daily usage and not for heavy game playing (i am one of those). Just wondering what the experiences are and if battery life increased much. As of now the battery life is great for me, without turning any cores off.
On that note, i know there is a S3 version with 2 cores with 2gb of ram.
Personally I wouldn't expect it to make any noticeable difference, but Samsung's power management should do this anyway for normal usage, and you may find intensive tasks take longer actually adversely affecting your battery life.

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
I'm pretty new to the rooting scene and having a smartphone in general, so I don't know much about what's considered "good" battery life. I'm running Nil's sense 4.0 with Snuzzo's 1.2 kernel, lazy governor with SIO. My max voltage is at 1188 and my min is at 384 (I have no idea if those are the best voltages for this phone to promote longevity; they just seemed like good values so I chose them). What do you think of this battery life I got today?

2.5 hours of screen on time ? on a standard battery? yeah i'd say thats good
Oh, yeah, standard. I'd appreciate any input that could further increase it, if possible.

I think you mean clockspeed, not voltage.

There are two main power draws in the Rezound, neither of which you can "fix" assuming everything else is working properly.
The screen - it's power use is clearly the highest, 2.5 hours of screen time is pretty much the best you will get with a standard battery, the only way to improve it is to reduce the brightness.
The radios - it's power use is strictly governed by the signal strength received, the better the signal the lower the power use, the worse the signal the higher the power use.
There are lots of things you can do improve the battery use, none of them will make a significant difference for the screen or radio battery usage.
The Rezound is a high-end phone, it's screen and radios are impeccable... the problem is the cost is battery life. The best way to increase the battery life is to go to an extended battery.
yeah, honestly the only way to get longer battery life is to have screen on less. i mean 2.5 hours/almost 3 hrs on a standard battery is about the tops your gonna get
I used to have Neo's Adrenaline 2.0 Rom, and was getting on average 13 hours of average usage per day. I would text a bunch, Listen to music ~4 hours, and browse Reddit for another hour. I have YET to find another rom that can produce such impressive results. AOSP SCARFS down my battery life like no other. With the same usage, I get about ~8/9 hours of usage. Although Neo's Linaro roms do seem less laggy.

ineff deus. I modded a lot. removed nearly everything sense. tweaked build.prop a bit. kept apps frozen until needed. kept foreground apps low and prevented many from starting based on choice. I get nearly 7 straight hours on extended battery. close to 5 or more depending usage on standard
Has anyone else run the Antutu battery tester? I searched the forum and could not find any results for the battery specifically (there' s a separate app) I bought the phone used so I don't know how long a new battery can last. If you have a score could you share it? I got 3729.
If not, would you consider running it? Perhaps, running around 20% will save some time. (I did it from about 70%)
If my score is low, I will commit to changing the sealed battery.
So I just picked up a Galaxy tab S7 plus 128GB with 5g.
Before purchasing I watched and read benchmark reviews but I'm getting considerably less performance than pretty much all benchmarks I have seen.
Single core/gpu/memory benchmarks are exactly where they should be but multicore is around 20% less than expected.
This is a new device, I even did a factory reset and tried again, not much installed and settings are default.
Anyone have any ideas?
I don't think you should believe in benchmarks anymore, it's better to refer to real-world tests and reviews from users.
Actually many Android devices have implemented hidden switches which temporarily disables thermal/performance constraints when it detects a benchmarking app being run (similar to a defeat device) so it scores much higher than it normally should, with a risk that the device might be damaged due to overheat and such.
From my experience, Samsung isn't doing well with the optimizations, making some games lag horribly, and this is getting even worse with the most recent Android 11 update.
I was just a little disappointed that's all, multicore is only slightly higher than my snapdragon 855 phone, nubia red magic 3. Much better single core, gaming and emulation though on the tablet.
It is running great though and I'm enjoying it.
Love the device ..... But it seems to handle Kodi worse than my Nvidia Shield. That's my pretty anecdotal comparison for Android devices
So after a bit of playing around I think I found the main culprit, it was nova launcher prime.
After using the tablet for a day I looked at the battery stats and noticed that it was constantly running and used over 20% of the battery over time.
Uninstalled and benchmarks are much better but not completely there, in geek bench 5 I get 980 single and 2950 multi, was 2600 multi.
I expect 3000-3200 from this device so only a little under now, it is possible that the benchmarks I saw were using android 10 before the update to 11.
Looking at the battery stats One UI is under 2% battery consumption by comparison.

Wow .... Would have never guessed. I do in fact always use Nova. Maybe I should delete. Wish I could save (backup) desktops like with Nova

I was surprised too as I have been using it for years now.
Not saying 100% that it will solve your your issue but it is at least worth considering.
It could be a problem my end or even perhaps how android 11 records battery usage but Samsung UI has 1.8% battery usage vs 20% for nova launcher, I need to use the tablet longer to see if that translates to longer screen on time.

I'll report back in a day or so with a screen on report.

So, a couple of days later I would say that I do seem to be getting more out of the battery, around one hour more with the same mixed usage, YouTube, gaming, reddit is fun app, Firefox, screen brightness 65%, volume full, 120Hz with WiFi and mobile data enabled.
Screen on time from 100% to 10% is roughly 7 hours, not as good as I was hoping for but I am hammering it and I expect that the battery test videos I have seen are using auto brightness.
