Anyone know any working battery tweaks for Valhalla rom? I came from ICBINB froyo and battery life seem to last much longer before.
Well u can always calibrate ur battery by getting battery calibrater from the market. But in general, all froyo roms have better battery life than gb. That's a sacrifice ur going to have to make if u want gb.

Weird I think its the other way around, I get much much better battery life with GB. Then I did with
Froyo

yup me too . GB is much better at battery than froyo .
Well it also depends wat ROM ur on. But for me I get a little bit better battery on froyo. Wat ROM r u using?

Kf2 sucked at battery life, kg6 was better, but valhalla it's without question (for me at least) the most efficient ROM when it comes to battery life. It's way better than kd1 (stock)

No matter what gb rom u r on battery life is far more efficient then froyo u nd to use ur phone til battery dies charge over night till 100% 4200m and calibrate with battery calibration app from the market after that will take 24hrs or so to take effect and calibrate i have flashed all gb roms and all froyo as well and see a huge diff in battery life
FINALLY MADE THE SWITCH TO 2.3.4 AND LOVING IT!!!!!!
I notice that most of you guys are comparing GB to stock froyo, which is unfair because of the bloat ware and froyo is not at it's full potential. What I want to know is how froyo and gingerbread ROM stack up against each other in custom full custom ROM for battery life.
For all you guys on Valhalla. What is the max battery life you guys have gotten with this ROM?
About 18 hours..you can use dexston guide to underclock using tegrak paid app and have longer battery life
Calibrated yesterday im at 17 hours 36% batt left

I'm still running the Valhalla beta and after first charge with battery calibration, I got a good 55 hours with moderate use. In the last few days I have been getting about 30 hours with moderate use, still running beta. This ROM has been good to me so far!
EDIT: I forgot to mention my on Screen time was about five and a half hours on that first charge.

First calibration, 32 hours with 4 hours screen on time.
So far for me, Froyo rooted, debloated, and running Juice Defender, has given me the best battery life, with just over 79hours as my record. That was with barely any use though. I usually get between 24 and 48 hrs with regular use though.
I've only been on Valhalla for a couple of days now, and with JD, I got 55 hours on this last charge with some light use, but I'm not sure it was started with a true 100% full battery.
Charging it now, and will see how it fares over the next couple of days.
Just posted about this on the GB V6 Tweaks thread....had 29% batt left after 44 hours with Dsex UV settings and V6 tweaks flashed over Valhalla....posted screenshot at link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17317691&postcount=254
Also just in case anyone was wondering, if you want to use dsexton's UV settings, you need to flash his v6 tweaks. I tried his uv settings without the tweaks, and my phone froze up, lol.
Trying a new set of mild UV tweaks right now, hopefully I'll get through a full charge without problems.
I don't think you need an app from the market to recalibrate your battery. There should be an option in CWM recovery to clear the battery data. The phone should then recalibrate over the next few charges.

Is it just me or do i get better battery life on sense froyo roms then i do on aosp gingerbread roms. On aosp i lose anywhere from 7-10% battery per hour, standard use, and on sense i lose 3-7% per hour, standard use. I am on Bamf Remix 1.8.6 with the desense script, and the aosp roms i tried were cm7 and omfgb. I really wish i got good battery life on aosp, it is so much smoother and quicker, but I need my battery to last as ling as possible. Am i alone here or what?

You're going to get better battery life on Froyo over Gingerbread.
What are your setting though, I go all day with pretty good usage (browser/text/facebook/youtube/Music) and I'm always good to go.
I'm running CM7 stock kernel. Display at 40%, 4g disabled when not needed, Wifi disabled when not home and I can't really say I have any complaints.

I thought always thought that aosp GB was supposed to have better battery life.....
I had imoseyon lean kernel on battsaver and ondemandX, wifi off because I'm almost never home, 4g on, all the same settings I run on BAMF. Display at 25% usually unless the sun is blaring.
just curious did you wipe batt stats do a full drain and recharge and see what you got after that?
No, I'm guilty of not doing that. I guess I should try that shouldn't I?
I found the best battery life on Liquid ROM, which is GB.

Although that's an obvious solution. There's more he can try before he goes to spend the money for an extra battery. I honestly don't see a need for an extended battery and I play around on my phone all day. When I get in the car charge it. When Im at home on the pc charge it.
I definitely get better battery life on Froyo sense than aosp gb. I, personal, think I get the best battery life on a stock version. I'm currently running the rooted OTA and the OTA MR2 radio and am getting great battery life (4g off, don't have it in my area till the end of the month).
I wish CM7 got good battery life. I like it better than any ROM I've tried, but can't get over the battery drain. It's ok though, I like Sense a lot too.
But you know what they say: To each his own.
to each his own is right
But on the same platform (froyo vs gb) i just dont think you are going to get tremndous variations in battery life. There may be an outlier rom that uses it quickly by most of the roms are in the same ballpark. i think we are talking about squeaking out an extra 20-30 mins which is not nothing but 8+ hours of a battery charge i would be more inclined to go with whatever rom i like best. When GB is released for real, then we may see some improvements across the board.

I have to agree. CM7 has been way better than any other rom i've tried.
CM7 with Kang Bang does best on mine, but you can't compare sense froyo to aosp GB. That's too many different factors. That's a different framework, different kernel structure, different ROM. How do you know what the culprit is?
I'm running BAMF 1.8.6 as well on standard battery.
I just charge at night, take the phone to the car or motorcycle for commute and place on charger. When at work, I have another USB charger with micro USB cable. Charge when at desk. Reverse procedure for drive home.
Battery is great when only off the charger for ~4 hours per day. :-|
It seems that sense battery life is better. I've been on cm7 for a couple weeks now and my battery will be nearly dead by this time every day. So I'm getting 5 to 6 hourz max with cm7. I'm on gingertheory now with dream kernel and setcpu running a few profiles, battery life is at 70%. May have been using it a little less today but still that's a big difference.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Getting the 2750mah extended was the best investment you can make into this phone, hands down. If your phone goes naked, then the difference in thickness is not that bad. In fact I love the new added thickness. It keeps my camera lens off the surface when I put it down flat. Not to mention it adds a certain heftyness that just exudes quality.
Sadly though I got an unlucky battery cover which creeks if you squeeze just a smidge on the sides
Other than that, man is it great. I can go about 48 hours without charging on CM7.1. At the end of the 48 hours, my screen would have been on for roughly 5-6 hours. That means nearly 3 hours of screen on time a day. If you sleep for 8 hours a day, that leaves 16 hours of awake time. 3/16 means nearly 20% of my time awake was spent looking at my phone. Hardly minimum usage, and if its not considered heavy then I fear for future generations. Screw these kids today 12 years old with a smartphone lol. I didn't get my first cellphone till I was a senior in highschool (2004) and even then, it was a crumby flipphone just for the sake of making calls and in case I was in trouble.
Right now im on froyo KC1 and 6 hr idle night only consumes about 5% (with GSM off and WiFi ON) and with normal use, i can use the phone for 2.5 - 3 days with a full charge.
However once i installed KF2 (gingerbread), 6hr idle night consumes about 30 - 40% (with GSM off and WiFi ON) and the phone is dead within 24hrs with normal use.
Is that normal with gingerbread or is there any fix for this?
i dont but i do know when i had gingerbread (kf2) i saw a big diff in battery life compared to using something like kd1. the kf2 was usin like 50% more than the kd1
Kc1 has been solid for me, tried the kb1 only went four hours with medium use

Installed GB 2.3.4 y'day and still battery performance is way less than KC1. Does KC1 show the correct battery level?
Guys, don't forget you have to calibrate the battery and use it for a couple of days first.
I never used KF2, but 24 hours with regular use is already excellent battery life with Android.
could u please let me know, which is the best/easy calibration method for SG4G?
Battery Calibration. It is in the Market. Download and follow the easy inductions. It takes a cpl of days after calibrating for the phone to "settle in"

You're exactly right. I have been amazed by KF2's battery life! I've consistently experienced between 26 and 30+ hours of battery life with moderate use with KF2. It's ridiculous (compared to what I've seen so far with this phone).
I did two things that I think added to the already decent battery life for KF2.
1. I installed SetCPU and set it for powersave at 800-1000mhz (with powersave screen off profile of 400mhz)
2. I also installed this app called AutoKiller Memory Optimizer - running in background with default settings (not like the other task killers, trust me).
Man, I believe I've found my phone's sweet spot. KF2 is running smooth as butter, pretty as ever, and running like the energizer bunny (well, relatively speaking)! I'm scared to flash another rom, now.
Just FYI... I flashed the Deodexed ODIN version of KF2. The best I've flashed yet! (Thanks, corradokng!)
My KF2 battery life just keeps getting better and better.

Technically Gingerbread manages everything better than Froyo and is better for battery life but because of all the ROM's and kernels available to us it's really a toss-up. I personally run Gummycharged Gingerbread because it is ridiculously fast, supports everything, and is great on battery. On a previous Gummycharged GB I was able to pull 2 days on a single charge with light-normal usage; like doing everything except playing games.

excellent life for me on Gummy GB, i get a full day on average depending on what I do though let me clarify a 'day' for me is about 16+ hours from when I get up till I get home and/or go to sleep... either way I think even with OC/UV on froyo I do better on GB but I always end up back on froyo for the themes lol
I've had better battery life on GB than on Froyo. It's anecdotal, but it's what I've observed. On top of that, Juice Defender works on GB, so you can make the battery that much better. With JD Ultimate with some aggressive settings and careful use, I could pull a day and a half out of the battery.

Glad to hear you make the differentiation and say JD works on GB... I run a rooted Froyo and tried JD last week. The data radio would not come back on when I brought the phone out of sleep state. Had to re-boot to get data back.

You're right that it does not work on Froyo. There's a bug tracker on the Latedroid website about it. They said last week that it would never work with Charge on Froyo due to a "terrible bug" as they put it. I've tried different combos of ROM and radio on the phone and the problem has nothing to do with the radio and everything to do with the Charge Froyo Touchwiz implementation.

You couldn't have failed anymore in this statement. For a lot of reasons. First of all, users that experience major battery issues with Gingerbread fail at flashing or calibrating the battery. Second of all, you're comparing it to a completely different phone! That isn't even a Charge! How can you even put that on our forums? Troll elsewhere.

I have tried a few EE4 & a few GB ROMs & I don't see much difference in battery life myself.
GB is certainly not WORSE than FROYO & may be slightly better. The difference is really negligible however, all ROMs get basically the same battery life - it is the kernel that can make a difference & even then it isn't all that much.
~John
And honestly it depends on your usage, if i just check for text messages once or twice an hour for the day, from 7AM - 5PM, i can have 44% Battery life left.
If i use some web browsing, and am texting every 30 mins or so, i'll be down to 20% Battery by 5PM.
If im watching youtube vids and using 4G, i'll be barely getting by at like 5% battery by 5PM.
I've tried danalo's HumbleComb ROMs, both -Froyo and -Gingerbread based. I believe he used IMoseyON's kernels on both ROMs.
I've battery tested both (battery consumption while fully configured and sitting idle - email and other minor background bandwidth consumers), and the battery drain was basically identical between the ROMs.
I saw a static drain of 2%/hour on both ROMs, which would be almost 2 days of battery life if the phone sat idle with minor background consumption.
With moderate use, I can easily make a full day on either HumbleComb ROM.
danalo's ROMs are pretty darned fast, to boot - Quadrant scores of 2040 on my HC4 GB loaded phone (Note: The Quadrant scores were faster before all my stuff was loaded on the phone).
And, danalo's HC4 GB ROM is pretty darned fast to boot, too - slightly under a minute (The -Froyo based ROMs were closer to 2 minutes).

I added the emphasis. I don't believe the author will mind.
so I've been bouncing back and forth between 2.3.3 roms and CM7 based roms lately and one thing I've noticed is that on all the cm roms I've used the battery seems to drain really fast while using the phone (web browsing, texting, anything basically with the screen on) compared to stock based roms. I can litteraly watch my battery % drop while I use it. I've tried various kernels, oc/UV, keeping screen brightness low, none shows too much improvement.is this a known issue or is it just my phone?
It could be just your phone. I'd say completely wipe your phone, and reinstall everything. If it doesn't help, then it might be the battery. But I would usually (with CM7 and Faux's DS kernel) average around 12 hours.
I'd also say give an ICS rom a try, I average around fifteen hours moderate to heavy use.

I did that too. I actually uninstalled pretty much every app I didn't use regularly and any stock replacement apps like yahoo mail app, swiftkey x, and a few others... but it didn't make a difference. my drain isn't too bad in standby, about 1% per hour, its when I'm using the phone. for example, say my phones fully charged, if I unplug it and surf the web, go on xda app, Facebook, and play a couple rounds of Scramble w/ Friends for lets say an hour straight, ill be at probably 40% left or less when done. on a stock based rom I'd say I'd probably be around 60% or more left. I'd stick with 2.3.3 if the camera wasn't so crappy but I take a lot of pics so no go.

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?

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%.

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.

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?

fwiw, 'calibrating' is not going to help. you should look for a new battery

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.
