I'm using Nova prime(paid for it) but how about Apex, Trebuchet and Holo HD?
I don't really need any functions or speed. I just want to know which one use smaller battery.

I recommend Apex launcher, I have used Go launcher EX all the time, and my battery drops 3-4 % over the night. With Apex it drops 0-1%.
I use launcher PRO on my Blade. Its a brilliant launcher imo.
In airplane mode the Blade drains around 1-2% a day(24h). And thats with a worn out battery and a device which isnt exactly famous for its battery life.
With wifi/radio on it drained ~10% a day.
On my TF101 Im using Nova launcher (free), and with wifi on + constant data traffic through it, it drains ~20% over night.

I think it's not the Nova fault because I also have a TF101. The wifi in 4.0.3 does drains many battery even in standby mode, you are right but it will simply happens with all other launcher. It can be solved if you could flash back 3.x but the wifi signal will be weaker, not as strong as in 4.0.3.
I never said I was displeased with the battery drain on the TF101, quite the opposite actually.
The wireless is working(sending/receiving data) all the time, so it never goes into "deep sleep".
I was using nova...now switched to apex....really cool...not eating ram also....

Hi,
I'm currently on the Deck RC7 ROM, and loving the 2.3.3 gingerbread. I'm getting pretty good battery life, at around 14-15 hours of usage before charge, using Tiamat 3.3.4. I like the Go Launcher but I noticed that when I use it, I get around 8-9 hours, so I think it's causing battery drain. Thing is I can't tell from Spare Parts of from the About Battery screen.
I just wanted to ask to see if any one of you are using Go Launcher and seeing similar battery drain issues also.
Thank you.
I love the go launcher however it does kill the battery very fast.
Go launcher drains the battery on my x10 like a constant slurp of a straw and find I show the go launcher to friends for the wow phone factor then secretly switch to ADW or launcher pro to double my spare battery time. I don't use many widgets in go launcher either but maybe someone has found a solution.
I'm not having any battery problems with the go launcher. I actually have the set CPU to overclock to 1.1ghz and then 700mhz after i turn off the screen. It has saved my battery after heavy use. I'm doing a 30-day battery screenshot challenge as we speak with my buddy and I'm getting 17-18 hours average on moderate use. So far i see no battery drop in neither launcher pro, launcher 7 nor go launcher.
By moderate i mean 2000+ text messages and about 1gb of data per month

Juice Defender... search on market, thank me later! I get 16-24+ hrs from a stock battery!
I just realized that the SGS3 Touchwiz UX ported to our Notes is constantly running on background and eating the juices of our gadgets. When I returned back I've got considrably more power. So, for those of you that still running Touchwiz UX be prepared for shorter battery life.
true!
Only the dadelion LWP picked from TW UX had the same issue on mine, bringing lags and battery drain. When I went back to my classic picture wallpaper, I really felt the difference.
No such experience here. i was on kingdroid rom with tw5 ... battery was awesome.
There is some difference, may be placebo. I usually have 50% juice at eod but today i had over 60% using stock launcher.

Most importantly..the Ram usage is much higher with touch wiz..compared to other launchers..

If you actually check CPUSpy, it usually displays 1400Mhz & 200Mhz used when the phone is actually not touched. With APEX, it constantly shows Deep Sleep.
Somehow the Touchwix UX is waking the device up. It still goes to deep sleep, but it also does eat a bit more juice. That's my .2 cents.
maybe the "ripple" effect of the lwp is counted as a touch on the screen and keeps it up ?
I have noticed the problem too--battery life is taking a hit.Had 80% battery at 2am and when i woke up at 9:30-lo and behold-only a measly 20% remaining !
and that is w/o any kind of app running or wifi or BT or whatever
same problem
Friends!
I have also the same problem. After flashing SGS3 addons on kingdroid rom i have quick battery drain problem. How do i go back to old touchwiz from SGS3 Touchwiz UX ?

Well i didnt experienced it much,you can remove days.apk, do make a backup of old stock one
OP, on the contrary! I've been getting better battery overall, even with Franco's #5 clocked at 1.6 Ghz! (using Alba's DDLP8 Full Repack V2 ROM)
I can go through the day without touching the AC charger and moderate use! (I m at 10 hours 5 minutes with a little over 30% charge left!)
I liked it so much that I even stopped using Nova Premium or any other launcher!
Cheers!
Hello, I have an s2 and the battery life sucks, I am just wondering if it is normal or because I have a nova launcher skin with 2 or 3 small widgets. The battery depletes everyday. I wake up in the morning grab it and it starts at 100%, I check my email for 1 minute... still 100% then I quit the app in the task manager, then put it to sleep with no running apps. By the end of the school day (7:30 - 2:30) the phone is completely dead... Any suggestions?

Try deleting unwanted apps, lowering you're brightness, turning of WiFi and Bluetooth when unnecessary, and regularly killing unwanted applications. If you are rooted, change your voltage.
I heard that the s2 is known for decent battery so i think you just have two many things running at once.
Click thanks if I helped you out!

How's your signal during the day? Some of those buildings murder your bars, and a weak signal means your phone is trying harder. I've watched a battery drain on idle from this alone.

Has anyone else been experiencing rapid battery drain with Nova Launcher Beta? When I check my battery stats, nothing seems out of place percentage-wise. Android OS is a little high sometimes, but that's it. Some days I get 5 hours screen-on over a ~20 hour period. Today, I'm down to 56% in 6 hours 5 minutes with 30 minutes of screen-on time. Yesterday, I had closer to the 5/20 I just mentioned. The only difference is I ran GEL all day yesterday, and I switched back to Nova this morning. It got me to thinking...the days I have experienced rapid battery drain, I have been using Nova Launcher. The days I have gotten great battery life, I have been using GEL. I never experienced this with Nova on past devices, so I am thinking it could be a) unique to the Nexus 5, b) unique to the Nova 2.3 beta, or a combination of both. I will continue testing to see if I can isolate any other causes, but Nova seems to be the only thing I can isolate at the moment. What do you guys think?
Download Better Battery stats app and see what's causing the most wakelocks. I'm running latest nova beta and I just got 4.5 hours screen on time with some pretty heavy usage.
nova launcher prime 2.3beta3 here, 1d5h running, 2%left 5 and a half hours screen on.

I'm running Nova launcher prime with the latest main stream release, no battery problems.
Alright, so it doesn't look like it's Nova. I might try BBS to see if I can isolate it. Thanks for the input.
Hi.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1 on a rooted HTC M8s and I'm experiencing massive battery drain (as seen in screenshot). I use only two start screens and no widgets at all. Any sugestions?
It says "past 2 days". Have you charged your phone in the two days? If you haven't, Nova launcher has used about 5 percent of your battery (37% of 14%)
