Battery life with latest ruu(2.11.605.0)

Is it just me or is the battery life from the the latest ruu(2.11.605.0) amazing? I'm at 16.5 hours with out a recharge and I still have 40% battery to go! I'm not sure if I just didn't install some random app that drains my battery like crazy or what but as far as I know all my settings are consistant with my normal setup. Its also worth noting that this is the second day with mega battery as the same thing happened yesterday but I shrugged it off as a fluke.
Please don't flame this thread, as I'm only posting this to see if others have had the same success. My guess is that HTC finally fixed what ever was draining the battery like a brick.
My setup
Latest Stock rooted ruu
3 hour weather sync
4 hour Facebook and twitter sync
2 Google accounts full sync on(ie. Docs, reader, gmail, cal, music, etc. One is business and the other is personal)
Once a day rss feeds
Wifi turned all day connected for probably 60% of the day.
My phone is mostly used for data and text messaging since I only talked for about 15 minutes today.

Sounds pretty solid. Are you using the extended battery or the stock one?

You have no idea what kind of work has gone into making this phone possible, much less work right. I have no doubt there were lots of bugs to work out. I'm waiting for some good ROMs to come out of the RUU. I just can't STAND stock setups.

I use extended battery and stock kernel. So far, battery life has been as good if not better than any custom kernel setup I had.

How is the charge time with the stock kernel? Are you receiving voicemail notifications ok?

I have also noted better battery life with the leaked 2.11 release. Don't have any specific numbers or timesframes because I do plug it in while on the road while using navigation. I am very happy with my TBolt right now!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

I installed the 2.11 update this morning. After getting things configured I jumped in the car to run some errands and noticed I did NOT have landscape mode after exiting the dock app. This never happened to me on MR2. After the first errand I rebooted the phone hoping it would fix it but no dice!
Anyone else not getting landscape mode on the homescreens (outside of the dock app) when in the car dock? Hoping it's just me.

What's this "Display" thing that is using all my battery and how do I get rid of it?

Drop your phone face down from about 5 feet onto concrete and you will no longer worry about display eating up your battery

That's a stock thing you've been on a custom Rom too long my friend. All apps will auto rotate and while in the dock you have landscape but the stock sense homescreen has never rotated on the thunderbolt.

CL3ANTH3ORY 1.2X is based off of 2.11, and from what I've heard, Revolutionary will still work. If you upgrade and have S-OFF, just flash CWM and then SU.
While we're at it, why stay rooted stock? Seems the OTA will be out shortly and that will cause all sorts of problems-- or at least be an annoyance

Thanks. I may give Revolutionary a try this afternoon.

so guys do you honestly see a increase in battery life with the new base...or was it just in the beginning ?

My battery life is very consistent and great with 211 base.. The best battery life i've ever seen using a stock HTC kernel. Can't wait for custom kernels to start rolling out for even more battery life.

check out my life on NonS3nse yesterday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17061615&postcount=116

i have the extended battery(2750) & running latest Synergy. i get about 6 hours with heavy use(watching 2 movies & screwing around on the web).

Horrible Battery even with Seidio Ext. Battery *ROOTED*

I know this is one of those things that everyone seems to complain about, but there is definitely something going on here. I have Seidios 3200 MAH extended battery for my ROOTED bolt, yet my friend running the same ROM as me is getting almost double the battery life with a stock battery. I know the first thing to check is if any apps are killing my battery, which I have checked through thoroughly with no luck. I have tried uninstalling these apps with no luck on better battery life. If it helps I'll post the apps I have
- Beautiful Widgets
- Brilliant Quotes Free
- Days left widget
- Draw Something Free
- Engadget
- Facebook
- iHeart Radio
- Instagram
- Twitter
- Yahoo Mail
- Ringdroid
- Root Explorer
- WeatherBug
- XDA
- Zedge
This of course doesnt include the stock apps on the ROM.
Currently running the Plan 9 ROM, if anybody has any tips for getting the battery up to par I would be very grateful!
EDIT: Forgot to mention how long my battery is lasting me. I'm getting about 8 hours before she is sucked dry

Actually it's called "Plan .9" Its only been out for a few days and it's a very very minimal sense ROM. It's missing alot of the sense features as to make the battery better, some people are getting up to 3 days while on it. And the developer is very responsive so far with adding sense widgets and squashing bugs. here is the link...

Yea the Chinese are getting into making bogus crap and selling it in bulk to people on eBay and other places. My stepdad bought a bunch of bnib usb flash drives on eBay claiming to be 200gb and none of them worked. They were some of the best fakes I have ever seen. They were in packing identical to the actual product.

I bought my battery directly from Seidio, don't think its a Chinese scam. But Something is definitely eating my battery, although the battery usage is showing my display as the main culprit.

You're showing 5 hours and you are only at 56%. That would mean you have around 5 more hours. It looks like you made some serious phone calls which would eat up a lot of battery too. I don't know if you use auto brightness but it can help if you disable it and set it at the lowest possible setting you can stand. Another thing you might look into is the Facebook app. It was causing a wake lock on my phone so I removed it and that helped me a lot.

If its a sense rom, try imo 5.2 kernel for sense. Use setcpu for a screen off profile of 245/386. If its desensed alot, you can probably get away with underclocking it to 768. Brightness is huge batt hog, set as low as possible. I have as few things syncing as possible also. Interesting looking rom, i will try it out with my stock battery and let you know.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

Ok, its loaded. Fastest booting rom ive had. I did try ziggys 11:05 kernel first, did not overclock, but did set screen off profile. This thing flys, and i havent played much with it yet. Ill let u know more tomorrow.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

the best battery life ive ever gotten was from the full blown MR4 rom with the stock MR4 kernel and the MR4 radio
people say that the MR4 Kernel slows the bandwidth down somehow and maybe it does but its awesome on battery life

Thats the thing, I only spent about 15 minutes total throughout the day on the phone so it seems like its eating much more battery than usual. Maybe I'll try a new kernel and see how that pans out.

Im at 40% after 9 hours, 56% display, 17% phone calls, other assorted. Stock battery. All in all, id say not to bad.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

wonder why mine is that much less... who knows anymore haha

Id guess its your widgets, im completly stock besides ziggys kernel. Tomorrow ill try the imo kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

I'd try to turn off widgets, but also turn off all background running apps.
Seal is a good program to keep apps from turning on imo. I use it to limit usage - on most Roms I get almost 30 hrs of battery life. (Extended battery).
Good trick - overnight I use Airplane Mode and my battery drops at most 5% for 10 hrs.

Battery life---Custom Roms

Has anybody seen a good Rom to improve battery life for the Inspire 4g? I have had horrible battery life with this phone, and that is the main reason why it is now my backup-hacking phone..

The redemption rom is pretty good on battery but since the I4G has a small battery to begin with I would suggest using a vanilla rom/aokp and turning off mobile data, wifi, etc when it's not needed

I feel sorry for you guys. I don't know how you people use smartphones and can't figure out how to max your battery life. Turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and gps when you are not actively using them. Always on mobile data is a killer. Disable all push notifications. And the biggest one is set custom automatic brightness adjustment. I set mine manually most of the time because stock, particularly with sense, is way too high. Even in a pitch black room it won't dial the back light down to minimum.

From my experience, you could try the Virtuous rom with sense 3.5, it has pretty good battery life.

I've had my Inspire for a year and two months aprox., still with the stock battery. On GB the best battery life I had was on Virtuous Affinity 2.05, MIUI 2.4.20, and CM7.2 with LC's kernel. Also, IceColdSandwich 8.6.1 has given me a pretty good battery life. Yesterday I flashed JellyTime R12 and can't talk too much about this one. Always remember the basics, turn off stuff you are not using. And remember, every phone is different so the best way to know is to flash yourself and test for a few days.

This is the best I've gotten on aospx br7
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

I'm another user of aospx br7. It's an ics rom. Great rom been using it for a while now. No issuses.

Cleardroid with bd-ace kernel. Use setcpu to govern the performance. Easily +20 hours with moderate use.
Sent from my inspire 4g using xda app-developers app

I recently switched to Sabsa Prime 6.0 from ARHD 6.3.2 and battery life has a noticible improvement, as well as performance. Plus it's working ICS.

I don't know if it's my usage or what..None of the ROM gave me battery life of more than a day.Right now due to lot of chatting,i hardly get a day backup.
Used Existz's AOSPX,IceColdSandwich and now finally on Sabsa Prime v6.0
----------------
Device:Inspire 4G
ROM:Sabsa Prime v6.0
Kernel:virtuous_infinity-v1.35.0

I am a moderate to heavy user and I work in a poor coverage area. All roms I have used, FroYo, GB, ICS, AOSP or Sense, get me to lunch. I plug in while on my break and that will get me home. I never go anywhere without car and wall chargers. Use it how you want. With the size of the battery and the size of the display, you won't get a lot of use between charging.
Not just a pretty Pickle.

Why is my battery dying so fast?

It seems like my battery is draining very quickly. Android is the highest on my battery list. I don't have anything weird installed or syncing and my screen is set to 50% brightness. Any ideas?

If you have root access you can install Better Battery Stats (Free here: http://goo.gl/EjdB8) and choose partial wakelocks since unplugged. That will tell you what's keeping your phone from deep sleep.

Nothing is standing out in partial wake locks. Every bar is pretty much empty. And that app isn't free anymore according to that post.

Op, are you rooted? I noticed my battery goes a little quicker since I rooted and flashed cm10. I also noticed you are on 3g, did you disable 4g, is 4G available in your area? Maybe the phone constantly searching for 4G is draining. Not sure how that would show up in battery usage stats though.

Yes I am rooted. I noticed the battery draining faster after I flashed Google Wallet. I am stock rooted though. I turn off NFC when I don't need it, and the app doesn't sync often.
I'm not in a 4G area, but that has never drained my battery before. I can't imagine Wallet would be draining my battery..
I should also note that my brightness is set to full at all times. What's of interest to me is the fact that it isn't draining so much when the screen is on, it's when the screen is off is when it drains the most it seems. I'll leave the phone off for at least 20 minutes and when I turn it back on it'll have lost a few points.
Can't seem to figure it out. Like I said, it seems like I started noticing the battery draining quicker after I installed Google Wallet.

ROM for best battery life

I just got the Samsung Galaxy s3 the other day and I am impressed. I was coming from an iPhone 4. Only thing I don't like is the battery life. So far I've flashed synergy 1.7, beans build 8, and Scotts cleanrom. Synergy seems to be the best on battery life, but I just want to know what others think. Also, I am running IMO lean kernel .01 on all of them at stock speeds. Not over clocked. Just wanting opinions.

Try synergy 1.3, best rom with excellent battery life
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

There really is no best rom, it's all about user preference and exactly what you do with your phone. Try them each out for a week to weigh the pros/cons (or in your case scope out the battery life), then go with the one that you like best.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the info but I've done that. They all seem the same. I think my real concern is the kernel. I like Scotts cleanrom but I wanna know which kernel is recommended for battery and performance
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

All the ROMs do a pretty good job. If battery life is your #1 concern and nothing else matters:
1. keep screen brightness on minimum. Screen filter can reduce brightness even more.
2. If you use wifi, set it to sleep unless charging.
3. Don't use 4g. Use 3g only.
4. Disable syncing or data entirely and only manually sync when you need to. (Something like JuiceDefender can automate this)
5. Disable google backup.
6. Disable GPS and verizon/google location services.
7. Disable bluetooth.
8. Check and eliminate all wakelocks using betterbattery stats.
9. Turn off all haptic feedback.
10. Freeze all Samsung and Verizon related services using titanium Backup.
11. Maybe a mild underclock on your kernel.
At this point, you will get great battery on your dumbphone with a giant screen

Haha thanks man. Yeah I'm just stupud about battery. I pay attention to it too much. I'll do all that. Stupid giant screen indeed

Sent from Galaxy S3 running CleanRom 1.0, Imo v.01

I was having horrific battery on 1.7 with IMO's 0.1 beta. I completely wiped and reinstalled 1.7 on stock kernel, let my battery completely die and charged it up last night. Today I am at 90% after 3.5 hours unplugged listening to pod casts the whole time and texting and reddit app. Yesterday I was at 78% doing much less and unplugged for less time. I think when updating to new ROMs its important to do a full wipe and make sure if you use TiBu don't restore any system data. I don't have anything frozen as well

I'm getting almost 24 hours with about 2 hours of screen time, so much better coming from a Galaxy Nexus

What are wakelocks and how would I go about doing that? Which services are safe to freeze?

hey guys i just got an s3 and im new to this ad understand there more roms. what is currently the rom with the best battery life? I use my phone quite heavily with power saver mode on and it still doesn't last me a whole day. im on stock and still have to root. cheers

most roms are same across the board.. I would recc. synergy as is w/ziggy kernel. turn off 4g/sync/gps when not using it. :good:
