[Q] Is my homescreen effecting my battery life? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Quick question.
Im running ICBINB KI3 1.3 UV and am not getting the best battery life with moderate usage. Battery last me a day tops.
Which of course is still miles ahead of stock.
My question is, is my homescreen too heavy? As far as too many apps and widgets?
Any help or advice is appreciated. thanks for looking.

i calibrate after every rom flash. ive never gotten close to the advertised battery life except with ICBINB KI3 1.5
update to the latest, and back to where i was.
im undervolted at 1.3, i use JD with custom settings, and keep my screens brightness at 10 consistently..
Could the way you flash a rom affect its battery life?

you can put your screen brightness to the lowest or to automatic. also, if you have a black or very dark wallpaper, it will affect the battery less. pure black with have very little battery consumption.

Check the running apps in task manager at night before you go to sleep. There may be a game or an app which takes a large amount of RAM and battery power.
Losing 10% overnight is about what I have always seen with my phone..

I killed all tasks just to be safe..didnt help. I got about 180mA when idling which looks bit much. On my old Desire it was 3-5mA when sitting overnight..
There are plenty of threads on battery issues and how to minimize battery loss ... but otherwise one just have to live with the fact that batteries have not improved that much over the years as we would have liked to see.

Good battery life and now can't get a day.

I had Pretty good battery life, about a day and a half with pretty moderate to heavy use. Now I can't make it past a full day. How can I find the app or the thing that is draining my battery?
Which rom are you using?
Which apps do you have installed?
Have you tried recalibrating your battery?
Have you tried using the betterbatterystats app?
You can try OS monitor application. It will show if you have some run away apps on background.
Regarding calibration process and batterystats.bin look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19153600&postcount=15
yea have done all that, i am octane, about 60 plus apps, i have had good battery life before so it is nothing with calibration or any thing. i was just looking for a better way then uninstalling my apps 1 by 1 to see the app daring my battery.
anyone else have this problem?
Try using BetterBatteryStats and check for wakelocks.

Lite Rom v2. I use quick setting and turn off auto sync and mobile network when not needed. And add two hours to that time. I had a reboot and it took two hours off.

In theory, having a more "lightweight" ROM with less processes in the background should use less battery. But kernel and radio have as much (if not more) to do with battery life than just the "style" of ROM. In particular, if the radio you are on is not the optimal for your location, it may drain your battery much more than anything else. And there are so many other variables that determine battery life. Its best you do some trial and error on your own to figure out what ROM, kernel, radio gives you the best battery vs. performance vs. features for your own particular needs.

[MUST LOOK]DeepShining lastest rom Battery Calibration WPextended error?

There is definitely something wrong with the battery. Either its a calibration bug or my battery is fried which is highly unlikely because it was working properly before flashing the deepshining rom
This is before i started playing a random game on my HTC HD7

This is after around 2hrs or so of gaming
As you can see its dropped from 91% all the way to 20% after 2 hrs of gaming which is ridiculous because i can get at least 4 hrs of gaming on this phone when it was interop and chervon unlocked.
This is the voltage at the start of gaming
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This is the voltage for the phone after the gaming
What i found ridiculous is that when i started gaming the voltage output decreased but my battery percentage kept dropping at a fast rate.
Could someone check this out for me!
PS: I made the pictures big enough so you can see it clearly lol
ANOTHER PROBLEM : WP EXTENDED
When i try to switch profiles they don't switch properly. What i mean by properly is that if im trying to go from battery saver to user customisation by switching off battery saver and reboot the phone, it stays stuck on battery saver.

[Q] Why is android system using a lot of battery?

So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.
