Which ROMs are the best and which ROMs are the worst when it comes to battery consumption. Has anyone done any sort of testing / comparison?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this as well... I'm running Juggalo's rom which I love but my battery life sux... data off, texting very little and making just a couple of short phone calls and backlight is low and I still have to charge the phone 4x a day...
The most battery efficient ROMs from my experience have been the 21109 build OS ROMs...
I'd like to see what other's have experienced so far...
If you guys can tell me what software to use for battery consumption benchmarking i'll go ahead and help everyone out....
so far it looks like people are going for looks vs performance... sad
Can anyone offer any advice for helping the battery life on the device? I have some terrible battery drain even when I put the device to sleep? I have greenify and Amplify loaded on my device, but it still seems to lose a good bit of battery when not in use.
I am using a Moto e running official Cm 12.1, I am noticing a decline in my battery life even though the Phone Idle time is pretty high.
I just want to know whether I am worrying too much about it or the thing is normal.
I am using Better Battery Stats and PowerNap.
Thanks to the developer of the 2 apps.
I am also attaching the Screenshots.
Hi
How is the battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat on tab s3? I'm worried that the oreo update will decrease battery life and performance, so I haven't updated it yet. I read many posts about the oreo update messing up the battery life of Samsung s8 phones, so I'm very sceptical about the oreo update.
Thank you in advance!
In my opinion, the battery consumption is far more worse, than I've expected.
But that's no big news, because it is/was the same with the nougat/oreo update on the galaxy s9.
Got the v8.0.0 April 1 2018 update yesterday. So far zero issues.

But is it significantly worse than with nougat as the os on the tab s3.
A couple of days in and battery life seems to be a lot better than with the previous OS version. I find I don't have to plug in again until well past lunch time where as before I was plugging in at lunch time. So better battery life and the UI is feeling a little crisper and faster.
Sorry long time irregular user here but on my US wifi only S3 9.7 if that's what we're talking about here, the battery usage is waaay worse than it was before the update 2 days ago which I thought previously was excellent. I don't buy tablets to tweak them but it seems like I have to do something, I did try a list of tips I think I found here when I got the device in December I'll try to dig up, assuming that doesn't work I'll be in here asking noobishly how to roll it back.
I did not do a factory reset after the upgrade from nougat to oreo.... It's still lagging.
I have done nothing after the upgrade and continue to have superior battery life than before.

Hi, did you do factory reset?

Negative. Did the upgrade and restarted the tablet. I don't do factory resets.
Oreo improved my s3's speed, minimal lag now. The battery does appear to have taken a small hit tho.
Mines turned into a lag fest and the battery is shocking. Its made a top of the range tablet into a dog.
Upgraded to oreo yesterday (Verizon U.S.). No reset here. Battery life seems worse. 10% drained sitting on my desk for 5 hrs doing nothing, mobile data turned off, wifi 'never' on during sleep.
Battery drain is fine for me. Looks better than before.. Stock WiFi not Verizon.
Update: After a few days of battery drain, things seem to have stabilized now. I seem to remember seeing something in Battery settings stating 'determining battery usage' or something similar. So maybe it takes some time to get straight, but all seems normal now.
That said, why was Oreo even released? I see no serious added features or performance gains. Only a few surface changes. But hey, at least we now have numbered badges. Big deal.
I am really lost here guys.
With what I have seen, battery life on s9+ (exynos) really sucks with semi-heavy usage (because of bad tweaking from Samsung?). There are already ROMs and Kernels, but are any of those capable of somewhat good battery life increase on this thing?
Thanks for any suggestions...
