Hi,
I tried different Costum Roms and stock roms, but with none of them I can get a good battery life. The best I could get were 7h and 20% battery drain while stand by with cyanogenmod 7. I could not beat this even with stock rom. But there has to be some rom with better battery life. Can someone suggest me a good rom with good battery life? Performance doesnt really matter for me, every rom is fast enough I think.
CM7 is the best for me with battery life. Try Juice Defender. It turns data off while screen is locked. Helps a lot for me.
With Cm7 by xboarder56 I have 49% Android system usage and 31% Mobil-network standby and just 6% Standby with 2 min runtime, so it seems that something keeps the phone running. But i cant figure out what it is...

I really had problem with the battery life on the Nexus S.
30% Talk, 20% Facebook, 20% Webbrowsing, 20% chatting and 10% Standby mode. Never use 3G as my country not really available yet (Y_Y) and little of Wifi. I can hardly had my Nexus S with me more than 9hr. I'm on the CM7. Thank you for all the advise.
SO which rom give the best battery life result on the Nexus S?
it can be any number of things that affect battery life.
we all have different ideas of what light, heavy and moderate usage is.
if you are in an area with spotty cell coverage that will greatly impact your batt life.
if you just got your NS give yourself time to break in the batt. When i first got mine the day they got released i wasnt happy with batt life but a week later it was amazing.
ROMs will do little to nothing to give you better battery life. but from experience CM always edged out on top.
cm7 has pretty good battery life. You might want to try a custom kernel if you haven't already. I recommend netarchy's. Otherwise you could flash modaco rom which I've personally found to have slightly better battery life. 9 hours with your kind of use is actually not bad at all. Other things you could do is recondition your battery to maximize it. Or dim your screen brightness because you seem to be on the screen a lot. Screen filter app works great for this.

speaking of screen brightness, having your phone set to auto brightness uses more batter than just manually changing the brightness for any given situation
im still on stock and i try the nightlies here and there i get a day and a half on both builds. you must have lot syching in the background or ur apps are running in the background.
Thank you all for advise. I'll try to remove those programs that seem to run in background.
I have updated to the official ICS (AT&T) and now I'm no longer getting much battery life. I had some issues with the update, so I wiped my phone and I have little to no apps.
I used to get 10+ hours of battery life, and now I don't even get 8 idle hours (so now it doesn't even last the work day). I checked Battery Usage after it was down to 20% and cell standby took up 90% of battery life.
I used to run JuiceDefender, but I reinstalled it on ICS.
Why have I lost so much battery life; how can I fix this?

I have noticed the same thing on the stock ICS. Also noticed very slow charge times using USB (possibly true with A/C charging but I am normally asleep when I charge with A/C).
Is this just caused by the bloat that they put in? I want to flash a custom ROM just for battery life at this point.

Im also seeing Cell Standby as a higher % than I used to.
install sky ics rom , this is the best battery . you can easy use more than 15hours . nexus mod 5.04 is also good . and much easier for noob to install . stock sucks .

Instigator's kernel is for AOSP (CM9/AOKP) so for ICS based official or roms you will need a different one such as mohan's kernel:

As for battery loss, there are some cases where if the flash wasnt done with 100% battery it could be reading the battery wrong and some people have had success with recalibrating their battery (look up battery calibration on play store). Now it was said that it really doesnt do anything for battery improvements and was just for stats use or whatever but for some people it helped their devices read the right battery stats.
I am currently with RealICS rom and MESA kernel but it seems the battery is draining way too fast, especially when in call, after 4-5 minutes it drains like 2-3%.
So please tell me if GB would be better for the battery life, or it all depends on the kernel?
I would like to know that too. What kernel and ROM should I use to have best battery life. I use GPS allot and it drains battery pretty fast. Thanks!
Hey I'm looking for the closest to stock ROM with the best battery life. Im not sure if i should stay stock and rooted (6.0.1) and go with franco kernel or switch to CM 13 (CAF?)...or something else even.
Id say my usage is about average, minimal usage while working, probably less than an hour talk time per day. Maybe 1-2 hours of screen on using various apps (browser, light games, news apps). Generally i make it through a day with about 20-25% left before i goto bed and plug it in to charge every night.
However when i do make more use of it the battery seems to deplete pretty fast. Ideally i would just like better battery life, its the primary reason i havent upgraded the phone yet. I dont need a faster phone, i need one that gets significantly better battery life.
Any recommendations would be great. Thanks

Your mileage will vary greatly depending on usage and what apps you use.
I have personally found that a good kernel is the key to good battery life. I'm a fan of Cataclysm and ElementalX personally.
Best battery life is with stock rom + stock kernel. Before i used custom kernels, but over a week now i have used stock rom with stock kernel and i must say that i get better battery life than before with customs. IMO.
What is the best ROM for Galaxy S7 G9300(qualcomm) in terms of battery saving.? I have used 'Aurora v24 s8-port', 'Norma v6 s8-port' and 'Aurora v25 S7edge-port' on my G9300. But none of them satisfied me. Specially S8-ports are drained battery super fast even everything are off with Battery saver on. S7edge-port battery backup just below average. Used 'Tomato v11' ROM too which battery backup average.
Now please recommend me which ROM/version i can use. You can suggest me how can i save my battery on these ROMs.
And another question, is "NOTORIOUS" kernel available for qualcomm version of S7? If not which is best kernel for S7 qualcomm in terms of battery saving.
What battery life are you getting, and what battery life are you expecting/wanting?

In s8-ports based ROM i am losing 1% battery life in every 1.5/2 minutes while surfing internet using wifi with power saving enabled to MID. So it takes only 2.5-3 hours to drain 100% charge.
In others ports it last upto 4 hours and in offical rom it last upto 6-7 hours approximately if i continuously surfing.
So please help what can i do now.
