Das bamf and drods 1.8 bfs kernel set at 1.45. Usually get around 15ish hours with moderate use.

Fyretech rom with imoseyon kernel 1.92 dialed down to 1.792, setcpu, atk. Today is the first day running this combo phone has been on since 7am, moderate use (phone calls, texts, games, internet and youtube,) its 10pm now and i have 39% left on battery. I would have had to charge my phone at least once today when it was new out of the box.
EDIT: using 3g, 4g not available yet in central Jersey.

I'm using the bamf v4.3a kernel with the stock rom. i'm also using setcpu set for the 'ondemand' governor and a profile that underclocks the cpu to 245/245mhz when the screen is off.

BAMF 1.4 sense remix, with adrenaline (spelling? 4.4.2 kernel, dark horse theme, auto rotate Rosie (Saweeeet!) Optimal setcpu settings. Ie: charging profile (245 mhz min- 1.0ghz max/smartass) with this setting I normally get almost 1% battery charge increase a minute. screen off profile (700's mghz-1ghz/on demand. Screen on profile (1.1ghz-1.3ish ghz/smartass. etc... I know some stuff I mentioned doesn't really pertain to battery life, but this set up is just sick! Also, I read somewhere that its a good idea to let ur battery die completely, then turn phone on without charging (you may have to just a bit to get it back on) And let die again. This supposedly tells the phone where the dead zone is on the battery accurately, so it can now get a full clean battery charge. Myth? Idk, but damnit my battery is sick now! Hope this helps.

Personally, I've been testing Imoseyon [ROM] Tesla Coil Version 1.5, with Imoseyon [Kernel] leanKernel: minimal kernel "battsaver" .92 version. I am running it on "On Damand" with charging and screen off profiles, mobile data NOT on auto sync, Tasker for wireless ON at Home and audio OFF at nite.
Really, this seemed to have doubled my battery life. I was having to charge before the end of the work day with moderate use and now have been able to use well into the night.
Hope to see even more Rom/kernel concoctions out there as I love to try any new suggestions.

With adrenalines (I still don't memorize the spelling! Lol) 4.4.2 kernel it deff charges waaay faster as stated. Setcpu charging profile to lowest mghz min to around 1ghz max on smartass. Not demand, n it will bounce around to proper mghz levels as needed to speed up charging process. Its sweet n like you, I'm open for more suggestions

Adryn's debloat ROM and his kernel, with extremely light usage I pulled 38 hours (my previous record was 36). I have been using my phone for the bare minimum, so this is why I got so high. No, this is not real world usage and yes, I hated it, but it works. My normal battery life is somewhere closer to ~18 hours, except on Tuesday's and Thursday's, when I have lecture classes, I usually pull 9-10 hours, because I play games and browse the internet for 2 and a half hours.

Using imoseyon kernel 1.4 extreme(InteractiveX governor) with Tesla Coil 1.5. I have an extended battery, and with moderate use my phone can easily make it through one day into the next before needing to be charged.

Screen off and plugged in.. ;-)

I think it would be best to post in your stats whether or not you have 4g enabled as there are large populations of each way and it makes a significant difference.

What's the most noticeable of using with the extended battery? Extra cost, bulk or weight? Thanks.

True...4g always enabled for me other then when I get no 4g signal and then 3g may go into effect. If no signal at all, then wireless when I am indoors.
I refuse to turn off 4g as that is why I got the phone and my coverage is pretty good for 4g...so, better battery life is a must for me

leankernel v .6 @ 1.41 on demand with das bamf 1.4 remix and i disable data when not using it and right now im at 56% battery at 32 hours with moderate use

I'm using imoseyons extreme kernel on interactivex governer on stock. I'm getting 14hrs %40 battery with moderate usage. I'm mostly on wifi all day with a little of 3g use.

Huge *NOTE!*
Go to settings, menu, wireless networks, mobile networks and uncheck the third box. No need to have mobile data always on for most peeps . You'll still have 4G n everything, but gain a good 1-2 maybe more hrs (depending on use, kernels, governor settings, and I/O scheduling. I personally am running BAMF 1.6.2 with adryns 4.4.7 kernel, no set CPU, using tool box for that at 245mhz min - 1.02max with ondemand governor and most importantly SIO Scheduler. Try these n you will have amazing performance and better battery life. Let me know you opinions

SetCPU temperature

Hey guys, i 've been using setcpu for a while and the widget too. Usually, my phone's temperature is 30-35 C. My question is how much heat can this phone take? What us the optimal temperature? What is the Max temperature you have ever seen?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

well desire s and desire hd got same cpu, and my dhd went unstable when it hit more than 55°C so i would use at least a temp > 50°C profile with taking speed down

I'm more cautious and limit the CPU to normal (stock) running speeds parameters when it hits 40°C and then lower the max further if it ever reaches 45°C.

I thought with the newest update of LBC's ROM you shouldn't be using SetCPU as it disables the new virtuous overclocking daemon? I'm running the Virtuous Unity ROM on my DS. IMHO, the battery life is great compared to Coredroid v1.2 with SetCPU. Not sure if it has any settings for temperature like SetCPU though..

You are quite correct, I only upgraded to the latest version of LBC v0.5.2 earlier this afternoon and as the install instructions recommended promptly un-installed setCPU.
Too early to tell anything...............
Hoping that next version of the virtuous O/C Daemon will incorporate temp and battery profile switching.

They're talking of using a GUI in the future for this feature, fingers crossed it'll have the extra settings! Once you've run LBC for a couple of days any chance you could post how you're battery life is getting on?

Yep, I read that and I'm hoping that they incorporate criteria like setCPU does, the phone is certainly more responsive from lock screen which is a great improvement.
I'll happily report back, but, it usually totally depends on how much use I give the phone during the day which varies massively, I also have a mugen high capacity battery 1800mAh high capacity battery.
If I don't touch the phone, it will loose just 10-20% over the day, even less if I'm at home and only have wifi on, where as other days I stream radio for an hour and use the internet XDA a lot and it looses 50-60% over the day.
I also use the great application tasker to automate the switching of my radios and don't have auto sync enabled. I simply sync first thing in the morning, at lunch and in the late afternoon.
If I notice any significant change from v0.5.1 I'll re-post.

Which is the best rom for battery life?

As topic

The best i found was with HyperNonSense 1.5 and SebastianFM kernel at 1.72ghz

There is no better / worse ROM
Its all down to the user, Their mods, Their kernels, Their wants and needs.
Its upto you to find the right Combo that works for YOU..
I can get close to 2 days with moderate use on ARHD, But that doesnt mean everyone will.. what i consider moderate usage, others may consider it extremely light / heavy usage

I'm jealous. The MOST I've ever gotten on my Sensation is 18 hours and that was ONCE.
I average 10-12 hours. I don't f***ing understand.
I don't use it much. My display just LOVES sucking my juice.

[Q] Help increasing battery life to 12+ hrs (heavy useage)

Cycled 3 times now and the first day with moderate use I went about 8-9 hours. It was awesome. Now that I'm using it a little heavier and will actually be using it quite heavily with data, gps, browsing, phone calls etc. I am noticing maybe that really isn't enough... I need like 12 hours or more like I hear some people are getting...
So I ask you XDA, what is THE BEST way for me to achieve super long battery life with heavy use. I'm already using SetCPU (settings below)
2100 maH battery? (Will this even be a huge difference from our current battery? I don't know what our stock battery maH is..)
3800 maH battery? (If this ends up being the best solution...I need a good case to support it and these usually don't have those...)
A way to turn off LTE?
...any other way to get 12+ hours out of my phone with heavy usage? I'm never in the car long enough or at a desk long enough some days to be able to plug my phone in and charge...
Also, I've searched and searched and can't find anything other than "The LTE is still on even if you use X ROM, or turn X settings off, or install X kernel/radio." Is there any new update on how to turn off LTE on the Skyrocket when rooted?
My SetCPU settings:

Please help. I NEED to find a way to do this. I'm a network technician and having no access to phone calls and emails is tough. Also my family and loved ones after the work day and I'm still out doing errands for another 4 or so hours and my phone is 0% dead isn't a good thing.
*Note: If the 2100maH battery takes the stock back plate and it can give me what I'm asking for I would PREFER it. I have an Otterbox case I dropped $50 + SH on and I'd like to keep using it....

Thank you Hemi! Is Andida a good brand or something? Or are you just letting me know so I can find it? Just curious. How has the life been? I had an Atrix before the SkyRocket and I know a MAJOR issue with that phone was anything above stock that was breaking the 2000maH mark WOULD NOT register in the battery's true %. No matter what cycling, "fixes", battery stat resets etc. that you did. Does the battery on here show you the actual stats? Would this battery last long enough to meet my needs? 12 hour day with heavy usage?
Sorry for the question bombardment...but if this will really answer my needs which I really need answered ASAP, I will drop the $ for this immediately.

How do you UV?
Also, what do you guys who've under clocked found as a good clock to keep it at? 1.5ghz is REALLY high IMO and I normally have it cap around 1.2ghz...anyone found a good clock to run around and it still be snappy and smooth?
Also..how do the guys with stock batteries get those 12 hour times? Is it just moderate usage? Will the 2100mah or 2200mah batteries give me what I want? 12 hours high usage? Or do I need to go with the 3800mah seidos I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on...?

Can't help with the battery, but I run 1080 max 192 min, battery is more or less same as 1500 max for me. I get 4hrs screen on time, maybe 3.5 if there's above average voice use. This is with data on the whole time. I've found my battery is just about completely dependent on screen time, minus some expected drain over the course of hours but that's very minimal.

The battery and mfg is the only one I found that was a 2500maH. It was the largest I found that kept everything I wanted (stock battery, cover, etc). There might be another CO that makes one, but this is what I've found. Two weeks and running. It charges the first 65% like a banshee, then slows down for the remainder.
It's worked well for me, extending my day and making life easier. It really doesn't take any longer to fully charge than the stock one did, just longer life throughout the day.
Hope this helps.

You thought about getting external mobile charger or just spare batteries? you charge everything when you got the time and then just swap around when needed.

have i got a solution for you my friend...
I'm testing a set of tweaks i made for my old phone which is working well. These tweaks provide excellent battery life and incredible performance gains.
Just to give you a quick snapshot, I'm at 22+ hours uptime @ 28% under moderate use. I'm not oc/uv either, and i am on official aokp Rom.
I plan to have it finalized by Sunday as long as my normal life duties don't interfere...

I am the exact same way with my skyrocket, heavy use for work and need at least 12hrs+ battery. So after much research, Looking at extra batteries to carry around or the tweak/root/rom method, which is way more convenient then carrying around batteries all the time.
I rooted my device, put SKYICS on it, and tweaked the CPU and UV, and now I'm using my phone heavy and at hour 12 i'm at 39%, so happy now with this phone now. It does me. Give it a try, believe me you wont be disappointed.

[Q] Battery Life?

Which radio are you gents getting good performance with decent battery life? I'm kicking around T989UVMC6 and it seems to be more power hungry but perhaps its just my area. I don't think this is very good battery life as I've barley used my phone today. I'm considering buying the battery for the nexus as it has a little more capacity and I've read it fits but I'm waiting on confirmation.
Anyways..I'm testing slimbean 3.1.0 build 3 with the T989UVMC6. I'm thinking of trying the LV kernel, what governor and I/O scheduler are providing good results for you guys?
And this battery: EB-L1D7IVZ

You running the standard JB one and not the GPU OC one? You seem to be playing with all the roms and kernels to..how would you compare it to LV kernel. Also, what radio are you using? Does it seem like my cell standby time is high in that screen shot? I have only made two phone calls and had the screen on a few times for a few minutes today. The phone was at 100% at the start of the morning and has been very idle so i'm surprised to see it so drained.

On page 5 on that thread is the link for X2. Flash X2 then the GPU OC Zip.. Using UVMC Radio. Haven't flashed LZ in a while so i don't know.

I'm using BlueLightning with Conservative and SIO, minimum frequency is 348 max is 1188. It's not the best combinauon if you prefer performance, I get about 18 or 19 hours of battery life I'm also using the same radio as you BTW .
