Battery Health - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could you people please post the average battery life for our phone(number of months before we need to replace the battery itself).
My phone is just over a year and battery drains very fast. Have tried all kernel, ROM etc... but of no use. I think I have to replace the battery.

I'm on Kyrillos v9.4, kernel G3Mod v2.3
83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand
In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
my battery lasts three days with normal/heavy usage
after flash the rom do a full charge the battery till 100%, do a batery calibartion with this app and next full discharge the battery. Next do a full charge again nexto to a full dicharge. Do this cycle 2/3 times and your battery should be ok. Try this and tell the results..

Battery Drain while sleeping

I fully charged the phone to 100% and turned it on at 7:45 then I went back to sleep. I woke up at 10 to see the phone at 95%! Now, I'm currently using the Anker battery & I'm running on ARHD 3.6.13 with faux123 v0.2.8 kernel. The brightness is at its lowest & auto-sync is off. What should I do?
I recommend using Battery monitor widget Pro to see how much mA is phone using during sleep and when screen's on. Then install Better Battery Stats ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) and figure out, what is eating your energy
also, try undervolting

What's undervolting?
Undervolt makes your cpu use less energy. for undervolting try using system tuner pro or faux clock (here's link for faux's RootzWiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4550-app09-beta-snapdragon-dual-core-oc-control/ ) But be aware that not every CPU handles heavy undervolting well. Do nandroid backup, then Start with -25mV.

edit
Try changing cpu governor to intellidemand (faux's kernel default) and min speed for cpu to 192. It may slightly improve battery life.

Hi,
When I was on 3.6.x,it was suggested that I try a Bricked kernel,which you can find HERE
I am not sure which one,but they tended to be more battery friendly than faux.
Read the thread.
You might get some valuable information.

I use Insert Coin 5.1.1, "Rom Cleaned" with LBE security. With heavy usage (2h music, 1h calls, 1h internet + screen) I can get minimum 14 hours. Same battery on GB stock rom 4h.
When I have fully charged battery on Friday afternoon, during the weekend (only have few phone calls, a little bit wifi) I plug it in at work on Monday with 15-20% left.
I have stock battery.

i have IC 5.1.4 and the battery life his horrible when im using my phone, but during school i underclock to 1.02ghz max turn power saver on and data off and itll last... also have stock battery with 1.5ghz kernel
With ARHD 6.5.1, Sebastian's kernel and 1900 mA anker battery I can do 3 days of light usage, 2 of mid ones and of course 1 of heavy.
ARHD works for about 1.5 days moderate use and 3.5 days on minimal use.
i've never liked a custom kernel, it always eats up my battery faster than stock (based from my experience) even undervolting doesn't make it last longer.

Highly agree with custom kernels eating up the battery

ARHD 6.5.1 battery life is very good.
I am now outlasting my partners iPhone 3GS with heavier use!
I can go a full day and still have 40-50% remaining.
Also there is no need to overclock. I use no frills cpu set to 192 min and 972 max. Very smooth and fast.

I don't understand how you guys are getting such excellent battery life on a Sense rom because I only get those numbers when I'm on Senseless. I guess I just have to try harder
Not sure.
All I can suggest is that you:
Make sure you are on correct radio/RIL
Super wipe
Reflash ROM
Use no-frills cpu and underclock to 972 max 192 min
Disable always on mobile data
Enjoy your phone
I have brightness set to auto. I have unlimited data so rarely use wifi.
Still on 100% from unplugging at 6:30 this morning.

Maybe it has something to do with your 1.7GHz OC...

I have very limited data allowance [it's 50MB PAYG for what it's worth, like 1.50 in GBP] and I don't go out much so I just use WiFi at school and home. Radio is on 3.32 although I'm not sure about my RIL. And also I always enjoy my phone. Always
EDIT: RIL is HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ. I always use Kohr-ah's stuff so I'm pretty sure that this was included it the 3.32FW i got from the thread.

There you have it!
You have your CPU set to a minimum of 648 mhz so it will never go any slower than 648 mhz.
I have mine set to the lowest (192 mhz) so that when it's not needed the CPU can run as low as 192 mhz.

Well I already have a profile for screen off. 192-486MHz. Should I still lower it?
I hadn't seen a ROM on my phone that lasts more than 12 hours for moderate to heavy use. I wonder how everyone else is getting 1-2 days of battery life (happy for them, sad for me).
I don't install any other app apart from the stock ones available with the Rom, plus the XDA app. Can someone please share the secret?
Thanks!

Getting terrible battery life on ARHD 6.5.3 with Sebatian kernel. SetCPU ondemand governor 192 min and 1.6 max. Screen off profile to 192 min 1 ghz max. Get about 5-6 hours of life with moderate use.
how long have you had the setup?

solid battery drain with cybergr rom ver.12

I am experiencing poor battery life with cybergr rom version 12.
settings are governer - ondemand
min cpu freq - 200
max cpu freq - 1000
kernel - tried both matrix 19.5 as well as air 4.
battery drains by 10% in every hour.
I have to recharge my phone thrice a day.
I did fresh installation but it did not solve my problem
please help.
I really love this rom
BetterBatteryStats. Also, try a new ROM if need be.

What is your overnight battery drain?

Let's make a poll:
What is your overnight battery drain?
And put following info:
ROM
Kernel
Overclocking
????
I have:
XBSA 5.2
Samno kernel
under clock to 800 MHz (to conserve battery)
Overnight my phone loses about 10%...
What about yours?

[Q] Possible battery drain?

Hey guys,
I recently flashed the CROMBi-KK ROM on my TF300T and chose the that11-DIRTY+ kernel on the installation.
This morning I charged my tablet to 100% at 9:00 AM. Now it's 5:00 PM here and my tablet only has 27% of battery charge. I mostly browsed on the web with it for one and a half hour (I guess, could be two...) at full brightness, browsed a little bit Facebook, but I didn't do much else.
I overclocked it a little bit (1500 MHz) on the Installation, but I changed the settings with the AnTuTu CPU Master Free to maximum 1300 MHZ and minimum 51 MHz. Scaling is ondemand.
Is it normal that the TF300T loses its power so fast? I mean, I have it now for almost 2 years, but it seems to me, that my tablet didn't lose so much battery power with the stock ROM.
I've come across the same issue. Battery drain on Cromi is huge. When no use it lasts no more than 2 days.
