I keep reverting back to a sense based rom because I get a much quicker battery drain on any aosp rom I flash. It's close to half less battery life between charges. I always do a cach/davlik/factory reset prior and after flash.
Always in settings it shows my phone constantly waking up even when the screen is off.
Is this an aosp issue or something I'm doing?
I definitely like the aosp roms more but I have to get through the day with my phone.

What apps do you have installed?
Try getting rid of facebook if that's there. some apps cause wakelocks on cm10
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm letting my phone die completely and then doing a full charge. Then going to see how it drains from there.
CM based roms will always drain battery faster but turn off Facebook notification and background location reporting/Latitude location sharing in Google Maps because they cause wake locks. Battery life should increase, but still less than Sense based roms.
(For comparison sake, on days I would end around 60-65% battery life with Sense based roms, I end around 50ish% on AOKP)

I don't care about less battery... I just dont want to have the phone waking up constantly. That's been the issue with aosp roms so far.
Trying to get away from sense.

When I turn off background reporting... What will that affect? Weather location and things like that?

Hey guys,
So I'm running the latest TrickDroid for T-Mobile One S, so far I love it... Except that I HATE Sense. And I hate the Sense apps that replace stock Google apps. Flashing gapps doesn't kill them.
So I installed Go SMS and I actually really like it alot. The problem is, ever since I installed it, my battery has been dying really quickly.
I uploaded a screenshot of the battery usage and it says screen, but I can tell you that's strange because the screen settings are no different than before?
Could it be this new app is keeping the screen awake without it really being awake or something? Im going to try freezing the Go SMS app and see if that changes anything.

download an app like watchdog and use it to monitor apps that go over the cpu threshold, You can edit the threshold to suit you but i leave it as default.
My biggest battery consumer is the screen, But i still get close to 2 days
Amoled screens use a lot of power, thats the only disadvantage
Why don't you ask in the ROM thread? Or don't you like me? :O
I will release a new version soon anyway..
BTW, charge to 100% and make a reboot
Remove gosms and your battery should be back normal. I used gosms apps on my sg2 and it killed my battery

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!

cm10 has nice battery life ..m using dark jelly S v20 the battery is really good works almost a day for me with me almost connected for 14-16hrs of wifi connectivity and listening music and of course auto sync always on ! u should try all once before proceeding further
Energy ROM and of course.. other stock based ROMs have the best power management available, you know, engineered by HTC

For me, cm10 gives better battery life than stock Sense. I think it depends on how you use your phone.
I'm using Baked too, but for me battery life is just great! Actually on 57% with 8h 27m and almost 1.5h screen...

Of course rooting for battery is a good idea. Undervolted & underclocked kernels, delete bloatware that's constantly running, etc. And as far as best battery life, baked has been very kind to my phone.
A typical day for me (7am on phone for 2-3 hours reading the news before work, music to/from work, light usage on breaks, then hotspot at home for internet, and all the calls/texts in between and countless downloads) will leave me with 20-30% battery when I go to bed around midnight

Hello all, I am wanting to get a good battery life on my mobile. So if I use a marmite kernel with stock jb will I get a better battery life or marmite kernel with rasbeanjelly will give better battery life.
What combo among the two I mentioned you all suggest for good battery life.
Thank you for reading.

I think that kernels have very little impact on power consumption (except if they running undervolted, downclocked or are broken in some way). More important thing is the ROM and apps that you use on daily base.
Best battery consuming ROM from my exp is CM10 stable with stock kernel, but maybe with 15-20 mins of screen time more than stock at most. Best tip for conserving power on NS and JB is to switch off 3G, Google Now and Location service when you don't need it.

Thanks for replying. But isn't people facing issues with cm10?

Perhaps with 10.1, but 10 stable, or the latest 20122012 nightly was pretty stable. I had one issue only with it - auto brightness was somewhat jerky... That's only battery wise.
Fastest ROM for me is MDO by knzo, RasbeanJelly mod which I am using right now. 3 and a half hours of screen time is same as 3 hours and 15 minutes. Either way I need to charge it at the end of the day.

How is the Nexus S performing as regards RAM usage and battery life on the handful of unofficial Kitkat ROMs doing the rounds? Kitkat is built to perform better on devices with 512MB RAM than Jellybean. Wondering if that translates into actual differences in performance and battery life, even on the as-yet-unstable ROMs.

Battery life is pretty close to most jelly beans, it has better ram availability, but is smooth like 4.1 only a bit faster... Some apps still have issues due to the newness of 4.4, but mainly in ART... Most roms are pretty stable for daily use...

I'll try that and see how long my battery lasts me. Although then I don't know what exactly I'll be doing with the phone at all. Usually I have 2G always on, switching to 3G when I need it, don't use WiFi. Auto-sync is mostly off, brightness lowest indoors, and a few apps greenified. That gives me 2 hours max of screen on time over moderate use for say 8-9 hours.
