Getting a thunderbolt. Is it less of a dud then it was made out to be?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Depends on who you ask. I personally love this phone. With the Rom kernel radio combo and a little tweaking, the battery life is awesome, and I've never had any hardware problems.

what rom kernel and radio are you using?

best phone i have ever had. came from a dinc. at first it is huge. now the dinc is tiny and my Tbolt is perfect. and the battery life is comprable. if you govern the wifi and the mobile radios it isn't bad. you made a great choice with the bolt. we have miui now and soon to have some ishe-cream sandwich. these are exciting times.
not really interested in miui. more so with aosp.

Use the latest radio 1.48.00.0609w_1, 0.01.76.0609w_2.
Sense or aosp, I suggest imoyesons leankernel or jdkoreclipes kernel. They both make sense and aosp kernels and both are top notch.

Love mine, though I have very poor GPS performance and so-so battery life when I first got it in the April timeframe. Since then, the various ROMs have improved it to the point that I don't even care what's coming out now. I'm running BAMF SoaB 1.03 with the latest radio and it's great.

Soab is an awesome Rom. It's what inspired me to port stock runnymede.

I came from a Droid X and can say that the Thunderbolt is a better phone. I have a few annoyances with it but mainly how it works or doesn't work with Ford Sync. The battery is depressing but I don't want the bulky extended battery. I have Juice Defender on it now and that has helped immensely through the day. I had 54% left on my battery after 8 hours at work with light usage. Before that I was at below 30% after 4 hours. I may still get an extended battery just for when I travel, but this works for me around town.
where would I find soab? Looked everywhere

Google it. You need to go on a BAMF forum. I dont think they post here.
oh, thats what I tried. Ill google it again
in short, what setup would provide best battery life based off experience amongst thunderbolt users?
Start with the SOAB with the stock kernel, so that you have a baseline then you can try Adr's test 3 or Imo's kernel to see if they make much a difference or not.
I don't think you will get a definitive answer without trying each out on your own phone and objectively seeing which one works best for you and your particular phone.
Good luck.
I agree. Ive been around android for three years and what works best for me does not for everyone else. I was looking for an experienced based answer. The bolt I bought already has soab on it.
Gotcha. I'm using SOAB with Adr's test 3 kernel. Works great for me because I can overclock now, but battery life is about the same as it was with the stock package SOAB kernel.
I've been getting great battery life on SoaB, starting with 1.02 and now on 1.03 since it was released and the kernel that comes with it. Prior to that I was using Eaton GTP, the Froyo build, and it gets phenomenal battery life. Can't wait for them to get their Gingerbread build with Sense 3.5.

They post all of their stuff on teambamf.net, and also tend to post on RootzWiki.

if you want insane battery life on soab flash the ziggy kernel beta one and set cpu low to the lowest setting andturn off gps and wifi and mobile antennas when not using them. i was getting 2% drop per hour this way. i went from 8 am to 8:30 pm with no charging and still had 72% battery life left also i overclocked to 1.2.
right now i am on miui wich is sick once they fix the mms it will be amazing. but i am using advanced task killer set to automatically kill apps when the screen turns off and green battery to do the same with the wifi and mobile anteannas.

I realized there hasn't been a topic on this for the Skyrocket. After experiencing the bugs on ICS roms I needed to find a rom that will get be as stable as a rock. I am currently using NexusMoD GB 4.3 and I find it to be very good. My battery life on it has been OK not that great. It seems to me that the ICS roms where running just fine for the most part for me, even battery life was decent, but I had weird bugs where I wouldn't receive SMS or Calls, and my texts would say they sent but they wouldn't even actually send. This would happen at random times even though it worked most of the time. Any favorite stable roms guys?
I found the mhx superlight GB release works great and has good battery life.
for me stability and battery mod on status bar were my requirements and mhx achieves both.

SKY ICS
For me it is the most stable. Great Battery. GPS works great. Camera is fantastic.
Sky ice works really well, the battery life for me was 60% better than stock. Running latest ics leak now, more stable but battery life is down (compared to sky ics).

+1 on MHX-SUPERLITE 3.1 GB rom.... best battery life on any GB rom I've run... never had a S.O.D.... no FCs... very stable and fast. Average 6hr "screen on" time with 18-20hrs on battery time. This is with JD disabled.
Stock.

For my money, Sky ICS has been extremely good.
I've been using the same ROM you are using. I've found that battery life has been pretty consistent among all the ROMs, which is to say sadly, not very good. It works pretty well overall with just a few hiccups here and there. I have had numerous issues with various ICS ROMs. I tried 3 of them (including SkyICS) and they either didn't run well, or in one case it just plain didn't work at all. That's why I went back to a GB Rom. YMMV but if I were you I'd stick with your ROM until ICS gets a formal release and see what the community does with that.

The only thing wrong, is camera is colored weird not useless. YouTube works fine colors are wack. I got the first R2 release. Not the second one that broke wifi. And really the rom is fairly stable considering it isn't meant for att sr

I love me some Nexus mod gingerbread. I will probably go to ICS when the official kernel gets released.
Great question to be asked again even if for the 5,000,000th time. I am DJ ICS fan, hands down most "stable" and it is very fast with great battery for a 1.7ghz rom.

I've had my beloved skyrocket for about 5 months now and have flashed/used about 12 ROMs. Pretty much across the board, battery is god awful. The latest Sky ICS by SeanZ seems to improve battery by roughly 20% on my specific handset. Overall battery is pretty shabby.
I'm trying to hunt around for the best battery life so let me know your opinions. Thanks

Best battery life would come from one of the debloated stock roms most likely...but it also keep in mind not every phone reacts the same way as others do to a Rom...one person may get amazing life on one...while another gets terrible life on that same exact one...

So far my personal opinion would be more towards the RemICS Rom. Its pretty friggin sweet all around!

I've been running legend rom for the past 2 weeks, been great.
before that I was running the unofficial cm9, that was awesome-only problem was no bluetooth.
that's what I was on before this. I am actually thinking of switching to something that has Bluetooth for the time being until they get a patch on RemICS. Its the only downfall!

Although development had stopped, Zeus had the best battery life for me.
erytherm cisa).
Zues was pretty good,except I had SOD issues several times a day, wiped, reinstalled, re-downloaded, went back to stock, rooted again, reinstalled, nothing seemed to fix the issue
For me most of the bigger gb roms all had good battery life. (legend, aeon, zues, emacipation).
One of the best roms ive used as far as battery was actually dman's catyrom. With pretty heavy usage.
But ive found out that using better battery stats to track down battery hogs is a must for any rom.

Which jelly bean ROM is the most stable and provides the mist functionality right now?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Bro, there are only 2 ROMS. Look in the Original Android Development thread. One is more stable than the other. One has more features than the other. You just need to do a bit of reading.
Just so I'm not flaming, CM10 is a bit more stable.
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
im not sure either one will work?
I experimented with CM10. On my phone, it was not very stable. AT&T VM wouldn't set up, browsing was very hit and miss and wifi was very unreliable. Fun to play with, but I certainly couldn't use it as a daily driver yet.
CM10 has come along way right. It's working great at the moment I've been running it for a few days and there's been no hickups.
Take note that your battery might suffer thought.... At the most right now I'm getting 8hrs use but that said some other gents are getting 14hrs.... so take that into consideration.
But CM10 JB is good as daily driver. Everything or almost has now been fixed. Microphone/Speaker still needs work a bit thought. But for the most part definitely works good.
From the screen shot you can see that when I'm using my HOX the battery drain is quite fast but on standby its pretty good. There's more improvement coming along and it will shift into a beta stage shortly.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
The latest version of CM10 is very stable. I've been using it as my DD for the last 3 days since it dropped and I've got no issues. Video camera, Netflix, and Hulu don't work atm but to me that doesn't matter but it might to you. Other than that, wake locks have been fixed, call quality is great, super smooth, no issues here.

It must just be my phone then. I was on it all day Tuesday and Wednesday and it exhibited all the problems above, plus it absolutely sucked battery power.
I highly recommend betterbatterystat to view what exactly kills your battery.

I'll getting amazing battery life. Instead of restoring all my apps (50 or so), I only restored the 10 apps I use most, and I'm getting 4-5 hours of screen on time.

I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?
Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?
CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.
Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!
