I averaged about the same on cm7 as the last guy stated with an extended battery. I used the stock shipped radio with imo's kernel.

I get anywhere from ~17-25 hours depending on what I'm doing. I did get 36 hours several weeks ago right when it RC0.6 was released.
Stock battery, stock radio, imo's kernel.

2.6.35.13 kernel from Slayher. And the most recent froyo approved radio. Sorry the name/number of it escapes me right now. I know a lot of people really like Imo's kernels and I've used them in past. But for now this is my set up.

Don't fix what isn't broken right? Slayer's Kernal works just fine.

CM7 0.6 is much better than the previous pre-alpha versions. I'm very happy.
I can get up to 30 hours if I'm just doing regular use a few phone calls or texts. It's hard to tell though because I have it connected almost everywhere I go. Work, car, home. the couple of times I haven't had it on a charger for a while it's lasted a day and a half or so with extended battery

Exactly my thought as well. I may try one of those ultra lean kernels eventually but last time I tried that wifi stopped working. I should note that I live and work in bfe Indiana and my phone fights tooth and nail for a signal all day long which I'm sure further hurts the battery.
The MR2 and MR2.5 were the best by far for my reception but cm7.1 doesn't use them currently. So for the time being I usually spend 50-75% of my time searching for a signal. Wifi at home helps this out but still. The MR radios were more likely to be in the circa 50% area of time spent looking for a signal.

So i installed the leaked gm a few weeks ago but removed it when i learned of the bootloader issue and overheating issues. Now i have Bionix w/3.3uv bali. Now phone has either been fc'ing or shuts off completely or reboots. Any ideas? I may revert back to kd1 by whitehawx and see if same problem rxists. Personally i think texas heat may be culprit my battery has been 106F and greater. Appreciate any ideas. TIA
*edited since typing while i was half asleep & pissed about my phone shutting completely off. Lol*

Bali is only currently out with version 3.2, must've been a posting mistake.
Anyway, do a full factory restore and see if that works.
If not, ODIN back to KD1.
If you don't want to lose your Apps or Data (contacts, bookmarks, etc) use TitaniumBackup.
You can also ODIN Gingerbread KF2, which has proven to be very stable (little to no bugs) for me and many other users.
Finally, did you ever calibrate your battery when switching FW versions? It sometimes helps.
My bad 3.2bali uv. Told yall i was half asleep typing this. Lol. I really think my battery is culprit. But i did factory reset and went to kd1 deodex then back to black ice. Same issue. Uninstalled now im tryg trigger. And i thk if i do 3.2uv again i will disable lagfix. But my phone reboots every 5mins or while even downloading roms when on black ice & 3.2. Aarrgghhh. So we shall see. So far on trigger for 2 hours and no reboots. Maybe gm bootloaders effed up my compatibility with bali 3.2uv? Thanks guys. Or maybe tegrak is culprit?

Edit: i could say this one is better for me came from KL2 modem....data, gps is good like KL2 and battery life last longer compared to KL2
(serendipity 2.3.3 rom with gb infusion kernel running 1.4ghz)
Had to switch back to KL2. My data was very spotty on this modem.

guys please report back back with battery life, thanks
78% left after 9 hours unplugged, using my phone as a Mobile Kindle all day.
Battery life on par with kl2, seems better than lb1. Not much different from kl2 as far as speed (central Texas).
Zeus b5.2

Battery life does seem good. Been unplugged now for 6 hours, and down to 92%. As catchpen said, seems on par with KL2 for battery and speed.

which rom are you on?
gmiui. flashing modems didnt affect the phone till i flashed this one
Don't have precise numbers, but this modem seems to retain all the benefits of UCLB1 ( at least in my experience ) but battery life has been quite noticeably better. My phone ran very warm on LB1 and consumed quite a bit of juice on cell standby. Not so on this one. Experiencing no problems with data or service in the three days since I've flashed it.
@OP: Thanks mate for keeping the naming convention in lines with the modems in modems thread.
Hey guys for some reason no matter what from and especially on Zeus I lose alot of battery on standby even in the miui 2.3.9 which is supposed to use alot less battery usually i keep wifi on even on standby and in one hour i lost 8% I have flashed different Roms numerous times and still keep on losing alit of battery on standby and when I do use the internet on wifi it drains around 1% every 3 min or less

Have you tried a different rom? That one should have pretty good battery life though. If you are doing EVERY single thing that, that thread suggests.. you should be able to have your battery last for a week.. He takes it to the extreme. VERY well done though.

you may have a bad flash...occasionally a reflash may fix it if you haven't tried.
with zeus, i don't recommend any other external cwm flash tweaks if you tried them
Maybe you gotta bum battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
does the ics theme have anything to do with the bad battery life?
You seem to be the only one having this problem and if it's when you try other roms as well then it's probably a hardware issue.

Flash other modem, sometimes it help a lot.
This is a modem from the Sidekick 4G. It has the same radio as our phone so it is safe to use. I have been using it for the last day and have experienced better performance, more signal stability, and less reboots.
Current known issues: none
Current known fixes: fixes text send error for messages larger than 160 characters
Fixes wifi speed issues in some Roms
Reported better signal for some people
Flash instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Flashing_a_modem
This is experimental. I am not responsible if you break your phone, etc. If it doesn't work for you, it's not hard to flash back to our modem. This will not brick your phone unless you do something stupid. I am not here to teach you how to flash. Read the wiki.
There are two modems here, KJ2 and KD1. Try them both and see what works best for you. KD1 worked better for me. KJ2 was finicky with data.
I hope this helps!!!

KJ2
KD1
Flashed both w/o issue... Running the kd1 now
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Flashed both and I couldnt connect to the Google play store. Tried uninstalling updates and everything. Once I went back to the one I was running (sorry forgot which one it is) everything worked again. This was on unnamed.
Kd1 connects to play store without issue, I'm running vb-final
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Kj2 Seems fine. Definitely more stable connection, and ping response times on speed test are way better, averaging around 60ms. GPS works, play store works, correct time is shown, etc etc. Will continue to test and keep posted on the reboot issue.

Guys, just a tip.
Flashing modems through cwm is "DANGEROUS".
Suppose you have t959v kj6 modem, and you have wifi on, and then you flash t839ukv kj2.
You may go into a soft bootloop. (Turn on, 15 seconds later, soft reboot, turn on...etc)
This is solvable by reflashing your old modem.
In order to avoid this error TURN "OFF" WiFi BEFORE FLASHING.

Never thought about the potential issue with flashing a modem before. I hadn't had any issues, but I'm never on wifi...this is useful to know!
I'm pretty sure I had my wifi on and I can turn it on and off just fine.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
Turning on and off isn't the problem. Once you are on the new modem for more than 5 minutes, there is no problem.
Just don't flash while it is on.
I have experience

Also it is just a possibility. Maybe it might have to do with wifi calling idk. That's just my suggestion.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I flashed with wifi-enabled, and it didn't cause any problems. So far I've gone 10 hours without a reboot. The only problem I've had is it's a little slower connecting to mobile data in low signal areas.
Im using the kj2 modem and I'm now getting anywhere from 1-3 bars consistently with no negative battery drain! Thanks for this find!
Also, no 160 character text failing to send errors

I'm on the KJ2 modem and had the random reboot earlier. I may give KD1 a try tomorrow.
I prefer odin/heimdall for flashing modems and kernels. An excellent find!

Modems aren't responsible for random reboots unless you are in a constant boot loop.

Airfluip that's not constructive. He is working to find the soure. We appreciate his work. Until you figure it out let's not work against others working to figure it out.

I am just trying to track it down, and even if it didn't fix the reboot issue, it improved about 10 other things and fixed the slow wifi issue in unnamed so I'd say its an improvement.

I'm on Valhalla Final.
Haven't had any random reboots lately.
Flashed this KD1 and it improved my Wifi reception in about 15%.
Also working with long SMS's.
Great find !
