What's the battery life of supercharged compared to the stock rom? I looked through all the pages but there was no clear answer. Would be nice if everyone who has the supercharged rom could share their battery life experience.
I want to do the supercharged thing but I don't want to do it if the battery life decreases compared to the stock rom. Currently running rooted stock.
Thanks in advance.
I have supercharged v4 and the battery life isn't terrible. But mine is overclocked to 1222.if I use it all day and quite a bit.lol. i have about 25% at the end of the day.

Oh ok thanks for the feedback, but how does it compare to when you had the stock rom? Does it last about the same amount?
Actually. I think the stock battery lasts a little longer but its not really noticeable. Supercharged rom is better i think. Its snappier! Cant wait for v5!
Personally I have actually been getting better life with the Supercharged ROM. I use my phone modertly during the day. It's been almost 16 hours and at 62%!!
How can this ROM be installed when boot loader is locked and there is no unlock method yet?

I get close to stock battery life with SC4. My biggest killer is the screen, which I keep on auto brightness...if I turn down the brightness, I can get some SICK battery life from this thing...but I have chargers everywhere so I prefer to let the phone manage the screen. Loving my phone right now!!!
really? Well idk then. im literally on it all day in hopes there is something new to flash! haha

Wow really? So the SC4 Rom at the lowest brightness would give awesome battery life? Better than stock at lowest? Because i have my stock rooted phone at the lowest brightness + 2g most of the time + Data connection off when not needed + JuiceDefender Ultimate to get the most out of my battery.

No, I have not been able to fully match the battery life of the stock ROM, mainly because SC4 is overclocked to 1122mhz. I am sure that I can throttle it down to 1000mhz and maybe get the same battery life, but whats the fun in that. I am enjoying the small boost in performance at the expense of a slight amount of battery life...not a big deal at all. Cannot wait till we get some custom kernels that are optimize.
I feel like I get better battery life with my A2 than I did with my A1...hard to tell since I didn't have both at the same time. My friends with other Android devices are always looking for a charger, while I always have plenty of juice.
The battery life is okay... I'd say that its about 10% worse. every hour or so of inactivity drains the battery by about 5-7% as opposed to stock which would be about 4-5%. If your really concerned about the battery though, you can get an extended battery for $25.

I'm very excited to flash Dwitherell's Tweaked v2.0 rom . I liked both the Minimal and ICS theme for Tweakstock. The best battery life I've seen with normal usage was on Tweakstock 1.4 and the 3/20 IfinityRom .

Been playing with it for two hours or so now (setting things back up and tweaking it a bit more) and it is GREAT. You will love the experience, at least I do so far.

Unfortunately I have been having a lot of trouble with my battery, on average my battery will last about 4 hours with minimal usage. It should last over night, but even after a 100% charge it dies by the morning. I have been on Tweak's 1.4 with PBnJ Kernal for a few weeks and I am attempting to calibrate it as I type this. Did you have to calibrate yours? And how long would your battery last if you don't mind?
Thanks.

That is extremely low battery life. Maybe you should try getting a replacement? Something is definitely defective there.

I flashed Eclipse 2.0 because I can't get with the Tweakstock Theme.
But on Tweakstock 1.4 with the PBJ Kernel I had excellent battery life. I'd wake up at 5 am and listen to music for about 2 hours. Throughout the day I would check my email , the weather or text between classes. By the time track practice started at 2:30 I would have 80%+ life . Then at 5 pm until like 7pm I would listen to music and come to a battery life of 70%+ . The key is turn off data and WIFI when you don't need them . I also use ScreenFilter Pro to adjust my screen brightness because my Display is always the biggest factor in my battery drainage.

I second that, sounds like a defective battery or something like that
Tweakstock 2.0 has great battery life for me. I easily get through a full day off of one charge. And that's with playing games and using bluetooth headphones to listen to music!
I am having bad battery life also, but this is just the first day with it. I have looked at one YouTube video and within 15 minutes I have dropped 10%.

Wow! You are definitely getting the most out of your battery. I will have to look into turning my data on and off since 4G eats a lot of battery and thanks for the app suggestion. My screen also is eats up more then 60%+ of the battery usage. I am still on Tweaks 1.4, but im about to upgrade to 2.0 when i get some time. If you don't mind me asking, what else makes you choose eclipse over tweak?

Yeah you're completely right. As I have heard from other users on this site, the phone measures the percentage directly from the voltage on the battery. So erasing your battery stats and the excessive charging and draining is not going to help.
Been running Tweaked 2.0 for a few days with zero issues. Anything I've wanted to do as far as customizations, etc, I've been able to do either through TSM Parts or TweakTools. Awesome stuff. And battery life is as good as it was when I was running Eclipse.
Please take notes guys, I have reiterated this FAR too many times, ROMs have almost nothing to do with battery life. It's almost solely based on the kernel, if you came from a ROM with PBJ to Tweaked2.0 then you would notice a difference whether better or worse since you'd now be on a stock kernel. ROMs can impact battery life if it's an AOSP ROM but since we don't have any of those it's majorly on the kernel. Don't make ROM decisions on battery life and don't "review" ROMs based on how good the battery life is either, please and thank you

Good point, I should have stated I was on Eclipse with PBJ kernel, now on Tweaked with stock kernel...with little to no change in battery life...meaning battery life is still good for me.

My only reason for switching to Eclipse is the beautiful theme. I love the theme . Performance is great , I would like to give Tweaked 2.0 another run but I don't like the theme. I know it's a great ROM but I'm picky about interfaces.

My current build is attached.
I have auto sync on because i need my email, brightness on VERY low. Bluetooth, GPS are both OFF.
Wifi is on when im at home and im getting 3-5 hours of battery life out of my SR...
PLEASE help. What am I doing wrong? What is the matter here?
I would recommend the InstigatorX or Cymbaline kernel with the badass or SmartassV2 OC/UV governor. Also, check your BLN and haptic settings as they can drain battery also.

3-5hours of battery life doesn't sound normal unless you were using it heavily like playing a graphic extensive game or driving with the screen on with GPS and streaming music.. if you were using it lightly you should see about 10-12 hrs, very light 15~ and barely using it 20+ with regular use maybe an average of 9hrs. Things like wakelocks can also be the culprit, thats when the phone doesn't stay on low CPU clocks or deep sleep but stays at full load speeds when not in use and that will drain the battery pretty quickly.
I too am having this issue. On battery use it list phone as taking %55 and screen at %8. This indicates.a.wake lock issue, correct?
I recommended installing Better Battery Stats and checking your wake locks.
Also if the phone app is killing your battery, it is due to bad signal. Also known as rillj wake lock. Or so I've heard. I've yet to find a solution other than flashing radios that may or may not help signal.

I bought my nexus 5 couple of weeks ago and from the beginning I experienced a really poor battery life.
From the screenshot, please other nexus 5 users let me what do you think about this battery performance, is that normal ? When this screenshot is taken about 17% battery was remaining. Please suggest me how can I improve this battery performance.
I am using-
Stock rom
Rooted
Low brightness as possible

There's a proper sticky battery life troubleshooting thread for this, it will tell you how to troubleshoot your issues better, no need to open another thread . Please post more detailed screenshots over there
But looking at your 'usage', in your list you seem to have forgotten to add "played Hay Day for 2 hours"
So my simple suggestion to improve your battery performance: don't play Hay Day for 2 hours....

2 hours gaming + 2 hours SOT. Where is the problem?
Need to use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for your games to get more out of it.

SOT would be Screen On Time
I imagine what he means is that something like Tasker when said app liek a game is open it underclocks the cpu and then resets it back to normal when you leave the app.
This would stop the cpu being put to max all the time and thus using more power consuming more battery.

I'm still not sure what you'll gain out of posting there though, your battery statistics are very skewed, which is why you have a perception of 'poor' battery life...
It's like driving a car at 100mph with the windows open, the stereo loud with the air con on...and then wondering why the tank is empty and the fuel economy is so bad...
Or leaving all the house lights and appliances on all the time, and wondering why the electricity meter is increasing so quickly.
Playing a mobile game for two hours...........not much different...it makes the battery life look 'poor' by most standards...
In all three cases, it's how you use it which will define how much energy / battery is used. Basic laws of physics
the 'Normal usage' is impossible for any user to define as we're all different, but still I'm going to guess that most of us don't include 2 hours gaming in that statistic
What kind of battery are you currently running on? That may be contributing to the short battery life.

of course, its his battery!
no way it has anything to do with 2 hours of gaming(sarcasm)
seriously though..
Read the first 2 posts in the thread linked above by @eddiehk6
Lots of tips there.
But as others said....2 hours of gaming will make your battery drop like a rock.
There's things in that link that can help you squeak a little more out of your battery....but gaming is the worst thing you can do to your battery life. Nothing you can do about it....except not play. So, keep the screen dimmer....and keep your charger handy.

Purpose of this thread is to discuss how adaptive battery works, how long it takes in terms of data collection by the algorithm to get the best results and most of all, I'd like to discuss our findings with it off and on in terms of idle drain and overall battery longevity.
How can we get a definitive answer on how this is supposed to work?
Also posted 4 poll options to see what is working best for some of us.
There has been several on-going discussions on other relative threads such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/pixel-3xl-ram-management-problem-t3855914 & https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/battery-drain-t3856149 but figured we consolidate.
Ill go first.
Idle drain is drastically greater with adaptive battery on.
SOT on average is 45 minutes less with adaptive battery on.
I was able to get "more" out of my battery with adaptive battery off.

How long have you had the phone? Supposedly, the benefits of adaptive battery kick in after the phone recognizes your usage patterns.

i got the phone last Wednesday, I want you to be right, but it just doesn't seem like the algorithmic AI learning is adapting fast enough...
Also my OCD isn't allowing me to tolerate it like that day after day until it decides to get it's act right.
Found this
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...tery-and-what-does-it-mean-for-app-developers
I still don't see why having adaptive battery on would get worse battery than having it off. It should get me the same battery life as having it off, only until the AI learns my usage better which by then it should extend the longevity of my battery
Left adaptive battery on.
Overnight loss is 11%
Look at the awake screen off time.
5 min phone call. Little WhatsApp and Facebook use.
With adaptive battery off I had 1.5 hour phone call 1 hour WhatsApp video call. Nearly 6 hrs sot, 3% overnight loss

Not sure but that's what I do for the best battery life. I don't turn off adaptive and just restrict apps I know have caused issues in the past for me. See the attached screen for where the battery restrict for each app is found.
