Hi people
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for the best stable rom that is good for battery life, only just got my 3D, it was down to 55% the other day within 2.5 hours of doing hardly anything on it
My anker battery arrived today, so hoping that helps, a bit, but could do with a good Rom to make me feel complete
Thank You
so as im a new user and i can't post in half of the forum, but i've still got this urgent question/ point to ask, here's my question:
i recently moved on the new 1.9.1 ressurection remix rom from the 1.3, and aswell changed my kernel to siyah, now lately my battery drains preety quick (yes i did burn it down to 0% and charged it over to 100% few times), but here's the thing, when once i had issues with screen burning 30%-45% of my battery, now it's lying low on 10%-20% while the real issue now is the "Android OS" which goes as high as 60%-70% of my battery, i've been trying to calibrate the battery and reset battery stats and discharge and recharge couple of times, but this just keeps going on... any way to solve this?

OK! I've read your situation. This is the only thing that I can recommend. Try installing a Gingerbread rom and see if the issue persists. If it does then some of your application could be the culprit behind the battery draining issue. But again, thats just a guess...And if it is one of your applications that is causing the drain then you should install bettebatterystats from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Then charge your battery to 100% and try a new calibration method, maybe you haven't heard of it. But if you charge till 100% then take out the battery for exactly 3 minutes and put it back in and power up your phone and use your phone normally as you do and then at 20% or lower go and check betterbatterystats and see what is causing the most of the battery drain.
Have a great day and good luck with the battery drain, hope this helps!!
Did you check the ROM FAQ about battery draining?
Please check it out. There is also an example of making some changes using extweaks which comes installed by default with ICS Resurrection 1.9.1.
Here is the link to FAQ.

i did read about the new method today, but havent had the chance to try it yet.
im not sure if it's a certain application that causes it, but in the battery stats it points out "Android OS", i've seen many galaxy nexus users complain about the same problem, even with stock kernel/roms, and galaxy S2 users that moved from gingerbread to ICS. it's logical that ICS will take more battery because of the control over multiple cpus and all this kind of stuff but im not sure how much it is about that "Android OS".
anyway ill try to have this battery calibration new method once my battery will drain out, and im probably not going to go down to gingerbread again because i already know its not gonna persist because i remmember how my phone behaved on GB and that those 2 systems work completely different and i want to solve the drain per ICS and not solve the issue by downgrading back down to gingerbread.
thank you for your time and help anyway

thanks for the link, i haven't noticed too much i havent done yet, they poiny siyah kernel as one of the 3 good 1s that work well with the rom for better battery, and i am testing different governors, clocks and voltages but there's many options so i can't do it all in an instant so it takes time...
thanks for your help
i have been using CM10 rom with siyah kernel & the battery lasts for about 6-8 hours on average use which is terrible... stock rom was just as bad, i have recently bought a 3450mah battery for my s3 which seems to add a few more hours...but not enough..
i used to have an iphone 4 which had great battery life lasted along time & could still go on nights out & it would still have around 20% percent left & never drained on standby.
this is my first android phone and i am happy with the the android os & the community but samsung sure have some bad design quality. hate touchwiz & the battery life right now (off topic poor speaker volume & location too)
my question is does anyone have a rom & kernel which gives great battery life?
please let me know
There's quite a couple of ROMs here that can give you decent battery life and great battery life. I'm currently running resurrection remix ROM which is amazing, still testing battery life but from what I've read in the threads it's quite good for an AOKP/CM10 ROM. Another good CM10 based ROM is the psycho ROM by team custom freaks. I had that too which had very good battery (on standby it lost 0% over 7hours) which is awesome

Friends, I used to try most of the custom ROMs and used to get good battery backup...but when I flashed CM12.1 battery backup dropped to 8-10 hrs only...thought this would be because of CM and switched back to stock 4.4.4..but this didn't resolve the issue...finally replaced the old battery with new one at the service centre and now using genuine stock 4.4.4..the problem still persists..service centre people saying they're unable to find the issue as there are no issues with motherboard..as per my observation screen is draining almost 75% of the battery...I don't know why this is so...but touchscreen, light sensor are working perfect...please please ease help me...
any one tried any thing that shows battery lasting really good amount of time?
I'm using xPower v5 and I haven't done any hard research into it but it does seem to give me better battery life than the latest stock firmware.
