Hello beautiful, sorry for my bad english!
We can write here, comparing ideas and impressions of all, what is the best configuration to protect the battery?
It may seem an obsession, but now it is summer and it often happens that the cells can not just load it because I have an outlet in attack.
So often I stay off her cell phone.
The Nexus S promises, but together with your expertise, I would like to figure out how to stay on the nexus s for as long as possible.
To understand Configuration: os (cyanogen, stock, AOPs, etc. ...), the kernel, governor settings, launcher, widgets, various tricks (NFC disabled) ...
There were?
Can we make the battery last for three days ?!?!?!?!?!!
-------
Let me explain, I have the latest nightly cyanogen, the 88. Off data always when I'm around and I do not use the internet. I do not need the push, so no active sync. The wifi I turn it on only at home or at work, I have WhatsApp, twitter and I uninstalled facebook to try what were saying that facebook consumes battery. I have launcher pro and Gtasks widget for notes in gmail, news and weather widget for news that is updated every 6 hours, if it's on the Internet, and then all program icons. I have installed very few, narrow required.
The kernel is the 1.3.3 universal netarchy signed cfs (the bfs? Is not that I had to use the bfs what do you think?).
This afternoon I used the GPS a few minutes to find an address, then he arrived, I turned off the GPS and data, with the widgets "Power Control" modified cyanogen.
Some short calls since this morning and some short text messages, not even 10. Some web browsing on 3G, but not much.
Well, after all this I can tell you that after only 11hours 18minutes 5seconds the battery is already 42% (97% this morning after recharge).
I'm not coming to pass even 23 hours which is what you do with a simple stock 2.3.4.
What is the sense I'm in the kernel and cyanogen netarchy? Only to change some other small lockscreen?
I need the battery! And I have already explained why.
The other ROM that you have listed does not come from cyanogen?
They are not "pure" cyanogen changed? Implemented? Correct?
Let me know ....
The AOSP where they come from? They are like cyanogen, a family on its own? O derived from cyanogen, too?
Now I remove the cyanogen and try something else.
What do you suck a lot in my phone? WhatsApp? Imagine if gripping always-sync data and as some of you! Not even 10 hours would last.
In the processes running there: Settings - 1 and 0 process services (21MB), WhatsApp - 1 process and 2 services (8.8 Mb), Market - a process and a service (11Mb) Maps - a service process and 1 (5.8 Mb) Google services - 2 processes and one service (15Mb), keyboard Android - a process and a service (8.9 Mb) - TOTAL: 153Mb used and 152 free.
It's right? Do you have it?
I just do not understand where mistake ... help me ...
That's a great idea, but in the wrong section
on a stock deodexed rom and stock kernel im on 2 days 4hrs and 42 seconds off charge. on a stock battery on my ns4g... this is amazing to me, im still sitting at 23% too. LOVE IT!
Wow!! Formidable! Stock 2.3.4 is better than cyanogen nightly 88??

Can you please link to the ROM you're using.
Wrong phone for 3 days of battery. Only way, personally, I can see you getting that, is to turn all functions off and leave it on standby without doing a thing with it for 3 days.
You should get 3 days of battery no sweat off a cheap nokia, but that's not as much fun to use is it

I don't think I can get that much battery even if I leave the phone untouched for 2 days! Lucky you
Im dead serious too guys. Im running miks stock deodexed rom with a stock kernel. Set cpu set at stock with ondemand. As i type this im on 17%. Unbelievable for this phone!
Before it dies ill take a screenshot to prove it.

Wow. I'm already shaking. However, the very thing that makes me think, is that in the post that you linked there is a "Get accurate battery mod".
maybe the mod is the author of longer battery life?

No the battery mod is a battery percentage. The percent i showed you is in fact accurate. It says so under battery stats under setting and my phone has not been charges for over two days now.
Perhaps the problem lies with the governor.
In my Cyanogen i have the governor smartass (100-1000). Now try with ondemand 100-1000.
Perhaps this is the problem, Watson!

Howdy Folks,
I'm new to these parts, but was hopin' to get some advice on my phone.
See, I recently bought an optimus 3d off a guy on kijiji, phone looked good, no scratches, everything in box, etc.
Here's the problem...the battery lasts about 6 hours in standby, and ,maybe 1-2 if I'm using it. (wifi, bluetooth, gps disabled, screen min bright)
Can't get LG to send me a battery as i don't have receipt, and would like to know if it's the battery's fault after all.
Here's why i'm suspicious - with 0 running applications (according to app manager widget) the phone's using more than half it's RAM, and about a third of its CPU (fluctuates around 20-40%)
under "running services" in app settings i have (tried turning all off):
sync service
power control service
android keyboard
Also when i tried running n64oid, it was slow and sluggish as heck, though it should run fine and dandy on my hardware - suggesting a phantom menace of sorts.
Folks have any idea if there's an issue on my phone, or if my battery's just garbage?
-Save me please!, I'd rather not go through the hassle of selling it.
*Oh, one more thing! - In standby the back gets fairly warm, is that normal?

update to latest firmware i.e gingerbread
can't, lg update thing says i have latest update (not from europe)
or is there a way to get around this? i'm a complete noob when it comes to android...(just found out what rooting was 2 days ago)
*nm figured it out, going to try v21b
I was using an extended battery and was still only getting a single day of use out of my O3D. For some reason, and I know how android works, the processes/apps running in the background really bog down the phone. I have had other devices and never had it as bad as my LG G2X and LG Optimus 3D. There has to be something wrong with how LG builds their version of Android. Anyway, it wasn't until I downloaded "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" that I saw a difference. You can set it to automatically kill apps to a set of presets. Meaning how many apps you are willing to let the phone run in the background. Even with the screen off. So I put my original battery back in and I am happy to say I am getting a full 24+ hours out of the old battery! The app is free in the market and there is a paid version too. Just try it and see what you think. I am no noob to the mod scene either. I am also not advertising here. Just letting my fellow O3D users in on what works for me. Right now I am running the acura rom with the 1.2ghz OC but I was using different freq. and they all work well with the Autokiller app.
hmm, well if it's still no good after v21b i might give it a try, though like i said i had nothing visibly running in background.
k, followed instructions as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
Phone's now completely toast, lg animation just keeps looping on boot.
-sigh
*did recovery mode, formatted/factory reset, rebooted with great sucess (took a while though)
however for some reason it appears as though my model number changed?
now its the p920
problem resolved, its been in standby for like 30 minutes and power's only dropped 1%

This is the Optimus 3D(p920) development sections and their threads.
oh, in canada the optimus 3d is p925g
I just joined this site to post here... I have this same p925g, same revision of firmware as the OP. I also have the exact same issue since I got this phone.
Basically always idling around %15-30 cpu usage, terrible battery life, nothing running or any extra apps.
Is there anything I can do? When I first got the phone I couldnt believe how bad it was, I think I have to rooted.. or super user... or at least whatever that odd menu is that I installed.
So I believe I can flash it to something, but when I was doing that there was nothing available (learnt from the cyanogenmod site) - but that was 4 months ago at least.
Anyhow, I watched the dumb video when I registred mentioning to specially post in a thread with a similar OP issue.
SO here I am, with ads on Kijiji to swap my 3D Android for a iPhone 4 (for the past 2 months lol) because I cannot stand the battery time.
I can literally kill my phone in an hour and 20 minutes lol. But the biggest problem is it can basically kill itself in 3 hours of use, just texting or what have you.. its pathetic.
I was hoping LG would release 4.0 (and supposedly will)... but I dont want their custom **** on my phone, for some reason the LG "Home" uses a crap load of battery life as it is, probably part of the problem.
Anyhow, My dad got a nexus 2 days ago with the fancy pants 4.0 and it makes my phone look like a nokia from 2004.
Im at my witts end, either I need a different os, a different phone. Or a custom battery pack idea...
thanks for any help |

Found that, 3500 VS the stock 1650 would more than double it, but still... that kinda a last resort band aid approach
I have the Rogers p925g too. The latest firmware we have is V10C, which is what it was released with here. With it, I was averaging about 8-10 hours of moderate use with mostly texting and internet.
Getting tired of Rogers and LG not releasing updates for us, I finally decided to root and put a custom rom, and it made a big difference to me. I had V21A Gingerbread running ThiaiZ V2.4, and got around 18-20 hours. I did end up having some network issues though, so I flashed back to Froyo and installed ThiaiZ V1.5.2. I'm at almost 14 hours now with 20% left, so it's still much improved over the stock V10C.

Try using a CM based ROM - they seem to have much better battery life.
Or if you need 3D, try using a GB Based rom - they have better battery life than froyo ones. Use a custom launcher like launcherpro, go launcher or adw - tehy use less battery than LGHome.
all i did was install v21b (for p920 it turns out) and my battery life is fine now (literally improved standby time by 3000%) , though i still only have around 170mb of ram available, and random applications seem to open for no reason (messaging, maps, google search, etc). plus i dont think it can be rooted.

Try the Thrill 4G Development Forums. There should be quite alot of ROMs there (No GB Though). I don't think P920 GB roms would work due to different basebands (Or at least the phone function won't).
stock v21a is working fine with my p925g. only thing is, after i upgraded i had to boot into recovery mode (holding those 3 buttons)and format/factory reset, then reboot. otherwise lg logo will just loop forever.
i'm gonna try that thai one, sounds like it's more lightweight ( good thing with only half a gig of ram)
I tried using a Thrill ROM (Doomed Froyo) on our p925g, and it installs a lot of AT&T bloatware (though you can delete those), but it also loses the setting of "Enable 2G networks only". I've been much happier with ThiaiZ's Froyo ROM from here.
I'd definitely suggest trying out the v21a or a custom GB ROM, and seeing if you have any data issues or not. Not everyone is having these problems though, so if you don't have them, then a GB ROM would be best, if not, then ThiaiZ's Froyo ROM would be a nice improvement over stock.
Hi guys, Sorry to bump in between a dicussion, but i really need your help.. I am planning to get a new dual core cellphone but i am confused between o2x and o3d.. I wanna go in favour of o3d, but the reviews say that battery back up is really bad. Is it really that bad? whats the maximum battery backup i would get in moderate usage? And also I am a gamer and will b hoping to do a lot of gamin in ma cell.. soplease suggest me which one i should go for.
So i just got a deal for a cheap Sensation and decided to give it a try. After a few days, i really like the Sense UI + ICS but find the battery is pretty bad compare to my GS2.
The Sensation drains about 8% overnight while the gs2 drains 2-3% overnight, both with nothing on. When playing music (doing nothing else,screen off) the battery drains a whopping 5%/h. while i dont think the gs2 would drain more than 1%/h just playing music. I thought the battery life on both phones should be more or less the same given the same specs and battery capacity (1650 vs 1520).
To be more specific, my ROM is ARHD 6.5.0 ICS, i havent installed any new app yet, i have the follwing widgets on : email, messages, weather, contact, task, music. I'm not sure if the drainage is coming from those widgets.
One more question, is there any way to quickly change brightness ? (like sliding the status bar as with the gs2). Auto brightness may be draining more battery but going through setting->display->brightness every single time is painful.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

Juice Defender is a good option to test out, even using default settings it's pretty good with helping battery usage/drain.
Otherwise ARHD is using Sebastian's kernel at this point and you have the choice of using the 1.2 or OC'd 1.5 Ghz speed when flashing. If you're concerned you can use the 1.2 version or flash the 1.5 and just set the clock speed using something like SetCPU, available here on XDA, or System Tuner, from the Market.
As far as I know right now, the kernels are not allowing UV because the official source hasn't been released yet. Once source is released/obtained then things like UV and other deeper optimizations can be done by the awesome kernel developers here.

I normally perform my UVing through System Tuner Pro, but the options are not available at this time, I just checked, so I didn't realize another app that also allowed UV would still allow it. See what I get for assuming...... lol

So you have finally made your choice in choosing between HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S II? Found yourself having to recharge your new Android device every 8hours? You’re not alone. Some users reported to have a poor battery performance for their Android phones. Older device ranging from HTC Desire, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to the latest dual-core Android phones; LG Optimus 2x, Motorla Atrix, HTC Sensation, and Samsung Galaxy S II, are not sparred with complains of poor battery life. However, Android itself is not a power hogger, or call it battery juice sucker if you like. Many users were able to get their Android device up and running in a single charge up to 3 days(gosh I missed the good old Nokia 3310-era).There are many factors in leading to poor battery life. The very main reasons are the display and unnecessarily turned on features, which some users don’t have a clue in turning it off. If you are happened to be one of the Android users not happy of the current battery performance, or you simply just want to improve the extra mileage of your Android device’s battery performance, here are some tips in improving the battery life of your Android phone.

Battery problems absolutely solved with "3g off" widget, on the market. I don't need anything more than basic phone and sms for hours at a time so I just hit the widget. Takes a few seconds to sync latest mail when it comes back on but less time than that to just find a 4g link. Great when I'm at the ofc where my mail gets pushed to my laptop anyway.
Very useful also in a weak-signal area, stops drain due to signal-search.
Juice Defender is very good for battery life but this solution is even better although the widget does require manual intervention when the screen comes back up. I use both. Possibly JD paid app automates the whole process.

If you're going to include statistics, PLEASE also try to include your SCREEN ON TIME, BRIGHTNESS, general use, wifi and lte would be good too.
I'm currently on CleanROM 3.0 and love it but thinking of switching to Lite version. worth it for battery savings? halp?
"BEST OF" Threads are not allowed on XDA. It sucks, I know. Because it'd be nice if there could be a place for some discussion... a "this rom is nice but that rom has better battery life" kind of thing
CleanROM is a good ROM, and Scott is an active developer here in the forums. Not sure how much better battery life you'll get from the lite version. I would imagine it'd be a lot because bloatware never helps battery life.

i'm confused, i'm not allowed to ask people for recommendations on what ROM has given them these supposed 5-hours screen-on times? I get 2-3 hours and my brightness is at 20% with wifi on on cleanrom 3.0 and im worried I have a defective battery. what's wrong with this question?
Unfortunately XDA Rules don't allow us to say what is the "best" in a specific area. You can ask for what ROM people are running and what screen on time they are getting so that you can determine it yourself.
Even though I'm all for following the rules I'm kinda confused why this rule was ever passed. In the real world there are always "best" of things. It seems this is just an ego protecting type of rule. However it would cause people to fight and say "No I have the best" and etc. People can't handle freedom!

I slightly want to kill you, mostly out of jealousy but also for not mentioning your brightness level, LTE on/unavailable, SYNC on/off, usage etc.
But this is enough to make me flash lite tonight after a total discharge. i'm at 44% with 1 hour 30 minutes screen on time. 10 hours 30 mins normal time at 2/10 brightness. (one notch above lowest setting)
is it possible i have a defective battery? or is Lite really that much different?
What's the procedure for switching from Standard to Lite? Backup all apps with titanium, flash dalvik and data cache, install via clockworkmod, then perform a battery calibration?

It is possible on CleanRom, I have so many other apps running at the moment that I get no where near that anymore. When you look at what he is running in his screenshots besides the screen he hasnt used much else (3% talk time for example). Now I switched between all three of the cleanRoms through the earlier development and did not notice a huge drop from DE to Lite. I went back to DE because I like it stripped of sense and their is still the debloating. I use FB and twitter so I wasnt going to stay on Lite for long.
I get roughly 8-9 hours a day on 25% brightness 3hrs of screentime but as I said I generally have a lot of other apps running that drain my battery that you may not run. (WiFi on most of the time and in an LTE area). My main drain comes from commuting to work in NYC when the service keeps dropping, which i read drains your battery quicker and it def appears this way. pansi (text messaging app) tends to use a fair amount of cpu power which helps drain my battery as does Defender II (a game).
Personally unless you are going to flash the lite version it wont make that big of a difference, it will depend more on what apps/screen brightness you are going to use.

Your correct,I don't set my screen brightness it's auto,I also don't use social apps like Facebook, etc. I do quite a bit of browsing and flashing. I've made some backups and flashed some mods and some of the apps I use don't even show up, why they don't I have no clue. I don't play mobile games though, which probably take up a lot of usage. I've had so many phones and roms over the years tell a lite ROM fits my agenda. It's still to each own. Just know I'm not just sitting and looking at my screen for over 5 hour of use lol. I'm also in and have LTE which shows in screenshots.

I am running sick-sense ROM while using the performance battery profile on cpu editor. I have LTE, and auto sync on the whole time while doing some browsing, a couple of hours of tune in radio, 8 mins of calls, some txts via google voice, and a bit of music.
I'm back with more lol My settings are still the same from previous post.

any web browsing... it doesnt really show any usage, aside the screen has been on?
Yes,I just flashed the new 2.0 radio as well. I've even listen to some music. It seems that if the app hasn't used a lot of cpu power then it doesn't show up.I

I found the cleanroms have really great battery life. I gave up Samsung skyrocket because of the poor battery life but with this phone and with that rom in particular I was very impressed. With a full charge I can last all day with a good amount of use (phone calls, texts, auto syncing, and email) and still have 40% or so at days end.

Have you tried any of the other settings (performance/battery, batterysaver)? I'm currently using cleanrom DE, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the battery life. It could be that I wiped everything and spotify/chrome/redditnews is downloading everything fresh (they have been using quite a bit of data). I guess my usage these past two days have been a little out of the ordinary.
I'm very interested with sick sense though. The battery carrot is very enticing. I'm a bit worried about the journaling though. Will it make it difficult if I want to switch back to another rom?

I haven't tried the other profiles yet. I wanted to start off with this profile to see what this rom can really offer under the highest settings. Based on what others have said about the other profiles, the battery saver profile is where it's at if you want maximum battery life out of your phone. As far as flashing other roms and journaling, I don't have any experience doing that because this is my first rom. Also, I don't know if the disabled journaling on this rom impacts flashing other roms and am curious to know as well. Anybody knows if the disabled journaling will keep me from switching roms? I am new to this stuff so bear with me here....

Well, in lieu of other responses, what have you found with your current settings? Everything about the same? I have mean, thats pretty good for high performance setting and heavy use, yes?
Sorry if you guys has been asked about this question for the nth times, I'm new to this phone and I'm a total noob in Android.
So, here's my scenario, I have this Samsung Nexus S Version M200 running currently in CM 10.1 Nightly firmware. It's good as far as I'm using it but I'm having a problem with the battery life. I usually charge it 2 times a day. What I do with my phone? Mostly play games and it will only last 3-4 hours max play then I have to charge it again. But to summarize it it will not last a whole day even with normal use, minimal games.
The question now is:
Should I go to Official ROM?
If yes, which version with long lasting battery with GPS and other services on and playing games max?
If no, should I stick to CM 10.1?
If no with CM 10.1, which ROM should I install?
Thanks in advance, I actually have a lot of questions since I'm so curious and want to know more about this phone, but I'll just add it later.
Don't worry since you're new no one will get mad.
Anyways, there won't be that huge of a battery life difference between most of these roms, it just depends how your settings are and how you are using your phone. I've tried most of the roms for the NS and I can tell you my team favorites are CM 10.1 Stable with Marmite 8.7 Bigmem kernel and JellyShot with the same kernel. Those two have given me the best stability+performance+speed+battery life combo.
The way you setup your cpu governer and i/o scheduler as well as some developer settings and a few more things can definitely make an impact on increasing battery life. Here's how I have my phone setup:
ROM: CM 10.1 Stable
Kernel: Marmite 8.7 Bigmem
Governer: During the day I use Smartassv2 with 100 min 1000 max, during the night I switch it to On Demand with 100 min 800 max
I/O: I find deadline to be the best and cfq to be the 2nd best especially if you are a person that has multiple apps in use its best for multitasking but if you're just doing one thing at a time (Youtube vids etc) stick with deadline
Developer: I set the 3 animation options all to OFF.
For your phone settings, if you don't need all those sync options on I'd turn them off, same goes for auto-sync/background data (you can find these options in data usage).
There are apps out there like Greenify which are great for saving you extra battery life, it puts apps to sleep when they're not in use. Try the free version it works great.
Lastly everything starts on how you first install your rom, I'd recommend a completely clean install. I use Philz Touch Recovery its free and you can find it here. The way I install roms is:
1. Wipe Data/Factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Go to Mounts & Storage and format these: System, Data, Cache, Boot
4. Go to Advanced and wipe: Dalvik then Fix Permissions
5. Install order: Rom first, Gapps second, Kernel last
6. Reboot
Thats about all the tips I have. Sometimes your phones battery just doesn't cut it, some people claim to get 5 hours screen time etc, but I never get that kind of amazing battery life I think my battery just sucks. But mess around with those 2 roms I suggested and those settings, see if you like it. Goodluck.
Just bought a second hand S as a second phone and found your reply one of the most useful for setting it up so far. Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply...
I have a follow up questions though. Hehehe.
1. How can I change my Kernel?
2. If I can change it, will I lost my data? What are the results? Because I've done a little search about Marmite and I've read it's good.
3. What's Governor? LOL Sorry, I'm total newbie. I don't get it. And the Developer? Haha!
4. If I do a clean install what would happen to my data? Does all my app data will be lost?
So far that's what's in my mind. I'll follow up again! Thanks! You're a big help!
@purpse You're welcome, glad I could be of some help.
@khimois
1. Well to change kernel you first need to download the proper one, get the "cm" version of Marmite that means its for Cyanogenmod based roms. To install it you need to use a recovery. Something like Clockwork Recovery its free you can get it by installing the "Rom Manager" app. Basically recovery is a thing you boot into its kind of like safe mode for PC's, but this will let you install Roms/Kernels, etc.
2. You won't lose your data by flashing a new kernel but you will lose your data if you wipe data through the recovery mode. If you really want to keep your data and apps you can use an app like Titanium backup it backs up everything for you to install later after wipes.
3. CPU Governor is a just how your CPU is going to be functioning. There are a bunch of different settings you can choose from. Some for example: Conservative (this saves battery by using less cpu power it will clock at lower frequencies) also On Demand (this setting tells the cpu to only work based on the demand so if you're phones not doing anything it will clock to the lowest speed you set the "min" value to but if you're playing a game or something it will scale up towards your "max" value)
Developer options can be found after you go to "About Phone" and click on build number 7 times, then you can access developer options from the main settings menu. These options let you do a few cool things.
4. Yes a clean install would wipe your data and apps, its like a brand new phone. There are some apps like I mentioned "Titanium backup" which can help you save your apps and data, google about that to learn more if you're interested.
And no problem, glad to help, everyone is new at everything at some point. You're learn that flashing roms and kernels will become repetitive you will always want to try new ones and then it just becomes so easy to do.
On most android devices Jelly Bean consumes twice as much battery as compared to Ice Cream Sandwich. You might want to consider downgrading if battery life is your top priority.

Thanks for the great help, I'm still in the process of absorbing it. Sorry, I have follow up questions:
So, if I want to clean install everything? What should I do? What are the things I need to consider? What are the things I need to backup?
I have an existing ClockWorkRecovery v6.0.0.6, is it okay to use this? Or should I update it?
What are the risk in updating ClockWorkRecovery?
EDIT: Can you also provide me a link for Marmite? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

So what's the truth between this two? Is ICS have a good battery life or not? 'cause I'm still considering to flash my phone with the original stock(?) ROMS.

First of all we are here at the nexus S forum it doesnt matter what the whole population is experiencing in regards to jelly bean, we dont have any serious battery life difference on the nexus S with ICS and jelly bean.
And I doubt any phone has DOUBLE the battery life difference.

But there is still noticeable battery life difference. I said 'on most android devices' jelly bean consumes twice as much battery as compared to ICS. My point here is that ICS can be considered if battery life is the top priority of a certain user.

I got friends who own these devices: Karbonn A9+, Innos D9, Galaxy Note
Their batteries last for a little less than a day on normal use (wifi, sms, some gaming, etc.) as compared to 2+ days when they were on ICS. They don't complain that much because they like the smoothness of JB.

Just stick with the stock rooted rom for a month . Then you may flash new roms ..
The battery life is the same for ICS and JB .. But standby battery backup has been improved in jellybean...
But free ram vaialable will be lower in JB after flashing gapps package..
The three roms which I will suggest you are 1. Xenon HD stable(mix of slimbean,aosp,cm,pa) 2.Slimbean(sleek and black) 3.Carbon Rom
And use Marmite kernal non cm version for the above roms.. Alrthough Slimbean comes with latest marmite kernel..
I have always been with stock.
Few options that saved battery life:
1. If you have apps that turn on GPS when the app is not running (like Life360), its best to turn off the GPS when you are not using it. Power Control widget helps a lot here.
2. Turn off Wifi & mobile network Location under Settings->Location Access.
3. Turn off Google Now
4. Turn off Background Location Reporting for Google Maps.
5. Uninstall Facebook app. (the messenger app is ok)
My phone have gone from being left with 20% after 8 hours to around 60% after I have done the above. If you are having an old phone, consider getting a new battery as well, since the stock battery would probably be at least 2 years old by now.

Agree.
I am using Nexus S with lastest CM 10.1 (release)
You might want to avoid :
Google now
Localisation (using GSM or Wifi)
Facebook : it is such a RAM eater it will have side effects on all the others apps, better use web app or Friendcaster
If you don't mind, de-activate 3G when you don't need it
Generally speaking, avoid large memory footprint apps, use opera (classic) as your daily browser and tune notifications.
Best one that I tried is Marmite kernel.
Also you need have a task manager to kill programs/
Also It's DisableService application is a must.
