Ok, didn't know this...
But in the Description the Author says "Fast Stable - And Battery Optimizied"
In 3h 40min it eated about 6 percent... It means theoretically that one Charge hold 61h ca. 2 1/2 days.... It is normal ?

you could try flashing the new tweaked kernel 3, see if it helps, but all sense 4 roms I tried untill now had disappointing battery life, It does get better after a few days of usage but still not great

and where can i find the tweaked Kernel 3 ?

using nik rom for 2 days , and i can confirm that it's battery killer...but all the things are working very well, only bugg i found was a camre zoom, when i do that , camera is force closing ,and i can't turn it on , unless i reboot the phone..

I'am thinking about to flash back to Stock ROM ....
Cause 1 day for a full batterey is very bad, with the original ROM i easily made 2-3 days

Ur concept is fairly false.
Battery life span depends on the usage or screen on. I can use my phone for a 3 hours from 100% to 20% in the span of half a day, a full day or even drag to 2 days. Damn if I leave it alone I can even drag it to 3 or 4 days.

You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.
Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.
You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..
Thanks thalamus..

Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.
I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.
It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.
And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.
Solved by flashing latest adamG ROM..
Thanks adam and thalamus..haha..enjoyed my nexus s back...:thumbup:

Andromadus vs. Jellytime vs. PACman vs. Pure CM10

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?
im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.
Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!
I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.
PACman, way to go.
I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
For now I'm switching to my sense rom
On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!
Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....
Thanks

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

That still isn't answer for a question from first topic... "So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?".
It's just general deviation about the opportunities offered by kernels...

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.
Camera Issue
Does any one facing camera issue?
I tried installing many JB roms but camera lags in all while video recording.
Is there any work around for this??

[Q] ROM 421 and battery life

Hi everybody
I've flashed the latest version of several 421 ROM for our NEXUS S (mine is 9020T)
Now I'm using the one of slukk
The strange (worse) thing is that with all the ROM used the battery life is very very short.
I usually use the kernel bundled with the rom too, but I've also flashed the latest marmite (thank You Bedalus).
But the result is always the same..
Now my battery die after one day ov few use, while ith 412 rom it die after one day and half..
why
Give it time. 4.1 started with threads just like this. Keep in mind that 4.2 is a port for all the ns devices, it will take some time to get everything straightened out and hopefully optimized

Depending on what you're looking for, battery is OK to meh. I get about 4 hrs of screen on time out of a charge, but standby is still very good even with streaming music. What kind of battery life are you looking to get?
4.2.1
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
You are lucky your's lasts one day. Mine will last anywhere from 6 hours to 13 hours. Most of my battery seems to get eaten by "Mediaserver". I listen to satellite radio on the way into work. I listen to streaming Google Music on the way home. I don't use it all that much while at work. It's really frustrating.

[Q] HTC One X battery Life

Hey Guys,
I didn't know where to ask this question so I made a new thread here.
My question is that which ROM should I use for best battery life??
I have tried most of the ROM in the two sections. But all ROMS drain battery so much. I have tried different Kernels as well. Nothing improved.
Please let me know if you have any in mind. I'll give it a try. Most of the roms work 9 hours max. I'm looking for more than that.

Screen on time/Radio on time are the killers if you use your radios and/or keep the screen on a lot, that makes sense.
With Viper and bulletproof give me an average of about 14 hours with about 2 hours of screen on time and 3 hours of Bluetooth headphones + Tune in Radio.
If you're using your phone a lot then no rom will help you. AOSP roms will not have as good battery as Sense but still pretty decent.
Invest in a pocket charger or one of those extended battery cases.

So if I use sense roms it will give me better than 9 hours?? Even with screen on time??
I dont use radio or anything else. Only thing i use is texting or calling. or some times games.
Screen uses the most battery.
Will the HTC ONE rom help?? Sense 5?

ViperS Problem

Just installed ViperS, latest version, love the rom but battery is really bad. Going through setup and using the screen on I'm losing about 2% a minute. Is this normal for the first couple of hours? Is there a fix?
It's actually getting worse now, just lost 5% in 2 mins, any help guys? Need my phone fully working for work tomorrow.
If you can, flash Revelation 1.0.2 rom, great battery life.
Don't want to flash another rom, i flashed this for android 4.1 and sense 4.
Revelation is Android 4.1 and sense 4 too
I still just want the battery issues fixed on this rom.

Battery stats gets messed up after a fresh rom flash. Give it time and couple of full recharge cycles to get stable. Drain full Battery and charge it again to 100%. ViperS has a great battery life. Don't worry your phone battery will last normal. Just battery stats gets weird.
