Recently I tried the latest Viper XL 3.0 JB based sense ROM, and I've been getting incredible battery life. I am not sure why, but I think I am getting almost two days life on my One X with the same usage where I was getting about 14-20 hours with CM 10 stable or CleanROM 5.1.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
That's awesome. There's a battery thread in general if you want to see what other people are getting

I have been getting good battery life as well. Just perma-rooted my phone last week, and loaded this ROM up and loving it so far. Excited for the next update so I can do CPU tweaking
Lots of people seem to be getting better battery life on Sense JB.
But battery life increases are a difficult thing to accurately measure and discuss. Hours between charges is irrelevant without a discussion of screen on time. I've gotten around 2 days on just about every ROM since 2.2X (and maybe just a few hours shy of that on every ROM since launch) with low usage and around 3-4 hours of screen on time.
I'll bet there are even some people that are getting worse battery life on Sense JB. That's just how it goes. But on average, based on consensus here it seems that some significant power usage improvements were made with the 3.17 ROMs, as they were with 2.XX.
The battery threads are getting way too long, and the Viper threads is in the dev section and I am too new to comment there, so I thought a simple QA post would do. I have noticed better perf on the JB Sense 3.x roms than the ICS roms or than CM 10. I mean I easily get 1.5-2 days battery life with the same usage.
What I am not sure about is, whether or not the better performance in CM (it feels noticeably more responsive than the sense roms) causes me to more actively use it / fiddle with it where on a sense based rom I would leave it put unless I just wanted to use it for someting specific like make a phone call or take a photo.

Yup. On ViperXL 2.4.1 I was getting 14 hours on battery with 3.5 hours screen on time.
On Viper3, I get about 8 hours on battery with 2 hours screen time.
No real wakelocks either. Just did a full wipe and reflash so we'll see
I am adding here my experience, i think that with cleanrom 5.1+elementalX kernel i was getting much better battery life than now with jokerXL 4.1 rom and elementalX kernel. All with no overclocking. The truth is that, with my 4.0.4 setup, i had the brightness dim mod via the setup activated, lower low core frequency and lower undervoltage. But the difference in battery is really noticeable, i am getting about half the runtime i had. So, i am thinking of switching back, as i didn't see any real benefit, and update when a good rom comes up.
Of course, i have to thank anyway all the developers for their hard work to bring the best experience on the phone.
People that actually use their phones to TALK (I know, increasingly rare concept) you burn battery regardless of ROM. I hate sense and much prefer AOSP, but I have tried every ROM on this board and they are all about the same. For me, JB Sense was worse. CM10.1 (JB 4.2) has the best so far, just an amazing ROM.
In my case it doesn't matter because I'm constantly surfing the web. Navigation and actuAlly talkin so I noticed no battery life increase. It actually seems I lost about an hour since viper 3.0 so it really is based on how you use it.
I reverted back to 2.4.1 and surprisingly
I am currently at 17 hrs with 2 hours screen time and two hours talk time. I'm at 19%.
While on 3.0 I would have to charge it by now. But that doesn't been its not more battery efficient. Also when I first updated to 3.0 I was like a kid with a new toy and was turning my phone on every second and playing around with it.
Viper in my opinion has excellent battery life jellybean or not.

Wow that's weird to hear, the most I could get was 14 hrs on ics, getting 2 days on viper3.0. I think the main differece is how it sleeps.

My phone sleeps when I sleep. How long do you need the phone to last between charges? How many of us regularly sleep in a place without a power outlet?

Is it just me or do i get better battery life on sense froyo roms then i do on aosp gingerbread roms. On aosp i lose anywhere from 7-10% battery per hour, standard use, and on sense i lose 3-7% per hour, standard use. I am on Bamf Remix 1.8.6 with the desense script, and the aosp roms i tried were cm7 and omfgb. I really wish i got good battery life on aosp, it is so much smoother and quicker, but I need my battery to last as ling as possible. Am i alone here or what?

You're going to get better battery life on Froyo over Gingerbread.
What are your setting though, I go all day with pretty good usage (browser/text/facebook/youtube/Music) and I'm always good to go.
I'm running CM7 stock kernel. Display at 40%, 4g disabled when not needed, Wifi disabled when not home and I can't really say I have any complaints.

I thought always thought that aosp GB was supposed to have better battery life.....
I had imoseyon lean kernel on battsaver and ondemandX, wifi off because I'm almost never home, 4g on, all the same settings I run on BAMF. Display at 25% usually unless the sun is blaring.
just curious did you wipe batt stats do a full drain and recharge and see what you got after that?
No, I'm guilty of not doing that. I guess I should try that shouldn't I?
I found the best battery life on Liquid ROM, which is GB.

Can't hurt. I wipe batt stats every time I flash a rom.
Yknow, I'm on the 'stock' BAMF 3.0 rc4 and I'm at 57% after 8 hours with moderate usage, but using juice defender. I also use the OTA Mr2 mod.

Although that's an obvious solution. There's more he can try before he goes to spend the money for an extra battery. I honestly don't see a need for an extended battery and I play around on my phone all day. When I get in the car charge it. When Im at home on the pc charge it.
I definitely get better battery life on Froyo sense than aosp gb. I, personal, think I get the best battery life on a stock version. I'm currently running the rooted OTA and the OTA MR2 radio and am getting great battery life (4g off, don't have it in my area till the end of the month).
I wish CM7 got good battery life. I like it better than any ROM I've tried, but can't get over the battery drain. It's ok though, I like Sense a lot too.
But you know what they say: To each his own.
to each his own is right
But on the same platform (froyo vs gb) i just dont think you are going to get tremndous variations in battery life. There may be an outlier rom that uses it quickly by most of the roms are in the same ballpark. i think we are talking about squeaking out an extra 20-30 mins which is not nothing but 8+ hours of a battery charge i would be more inclined to go with whatever rom i like best. When GB is released for real, then we may see some improvements across the board.

I have to agree. CM7 has been way better than any other rom i've tried.
CM7 with Kang Bang does best on mine, but you can't compare sense froyo to aosp GB. That's too many different factors. That's a different framework, different kernel structure, different ROM. How do you know what the culprit is?
I'm running BAMF 1.8.6 as well on standard battery.
I just charge at night, take the phone to the car or motorcycle for commute and place on charger. When at work, I have another USB charger with micro USB cable. Charge when at desk. Reverse procedure for drive home.
Battery is great when only off the charger for ~4 hours per day. :-|
It seems that sense battery life is better. I've been on cm7 for a couple weeks now and my battery will be nearly dead by this time every day. So I'm getting 5 to 6 hourz max with cm7. I'm on gingertheory now with dream kernel and setcpu running a few profiles, battery life is at 70%. May have been using it a little less today but still that's a big difference.

Getting the 2750mah extended was the best investment you can make into this phone, hands down. If your phone goes naked, then the difference in thickness is not that bad. In fact I love the new added thickness. It keeps my camera lens off the surface when I put it down flat. Not to mention it adds a certain heftyness that just exudes quality.
Sadly though I got an unlucky battery cover which creeks if you squeeze just a smidge on the sides
Other than that, man is it great. I can go about 48 hours without charging on CM7.1. At the end of the 48 hours, my screen would have been on for roughly 5-6 hours. That means nearly 3 hours of screen on time a day. If you sleep for 8 hours a day, that leaves 16 hours of awake time. 3/16 means nearly 20% of my time awake was spent looking at my phone. Hardly minimum usage, and if its not considered heavy then I fear for future generations. Screw these kids today 12 years old with a smartphone lol. I didn't get my first cellphone till I was a senior in highschool (2004) and even then, it was a crumby flipphone just for the sake of making calls and in case I was in trouble.
Hi there,
I am currently running on HTC stock rom with 2.3.4 but currently considering applying a custom ROM to get better battery mileage (i.e. more hours).
I see that all custom roms mention that one should get better battery usage because they have applied some optimizations. But is this real?
What I have understand so far is that battery life varies for every user because everybody uses the phone different with different applications (probably there aren't 2 phones with the same configuration) so any benchmarks are meaningless...
But... If you have used the stock rom and moved to a custom rom , what is your experience did battery life improve? I am assuming that you continued to use the phone in a similar way...
Currently I get between 12-16h hours on my stock rom, what should I expect if I move to custom ROM?
Currently considering moving to Android Revolution HD 3.6.3 XE.
Before being flamed, I looked and searched for the answer to this question but could not get any answer...
Thanks
for me the experience has been reverse... when on stock rom, i get better battery life but when i use custom roms I get worst battery...
Currently running Sense 3.5 and it has something really annoying with battery.. sometimes it would stick at 100% for one hour and then when i start using it for 10 mins it would come down by 20% in no time...
With ARHD 3.6.3 my battery would take too long to charge but with sense 3.5 it takes half the time to charge...
So using custom Roms you will never figure out how ur battery works..

This is misleading as this might be your experience but not everyone's.
I get excellent battery life with Sense 3.5 and I don't get any bad battery readings either.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
My battery life improved noticeably with a custom rom. However, when you get a custom rom, you usually also pair it with an overclocked kernel which ups the speed but also reduces battery life a bit.
I'm running ARHD 4.1.3 with faux's kernel running at 1.5ghz and am still getting better battery life then stock. I can use my phone for a full day, not charge it at night, and then still be able to last to about just after lunch time the next day. With the stock kernel, battery life was even better but the phone was also slower.
There are a lot of settings that you can tweak to try and conserve battery life. I keep bluetooth and gps off, and I think that using the GSM antenna only instead of both GSM/CDMA helps, stuff like that.

+1 on that. My battery life was horrible on CM7. I tried everything to fix from other kernels, radios and every battery calibration tip, tool and app. I just went back to stock. I was dropping 6-7% battery life while my phone was in standby. If the phone was in airplane mode it was fine. I also tried turning off wi-fi but that didn't help.
I get better battery life using the latest IC Rom. Not a heavy user, a few calls, few texts, 10 +/- emails, decent amount of web and twitter use though, little gaming. Take it off charger at 7am, and when I put it back at 11pm, I usually have 30%-40% of my battery still left.
I am using CM7 alpha9, which is very far from being release-quality. I had thought it was doing very well - 6 hours and still at 80%. But then I had a phone call drop using WiFi Calling, and I had to reboot to regain the use of the dialer. I was at 20% after reboot...
I noticed a huge difference with Revolution HD (no-sense script) compared to the stock ROM.
Very happy with the switch.
Best I got with ARHD and a stock 1.2 Ghz kernel was 1 day, 5 hours, and the best Ive had with ARHD and Faux kernel was about 12 hours.
Typically I was seeing about 8-10 hours with ARHD and Faux kernels. I just decided to try bricked last night so I cant really report too much, although today looks really good so far. I'm already at 10 hours 20 mins as I type this with 30% left. Typically I would be plugging my phone in after work getting in the car on the way home with the Faux kernel. I just flashed this kernel last night so it hasnt even "settled in" yet. Both non-stock kernels are running OC at 1.5 Ghz.
~T.J.
A lot of times people forget when flashing roms and such is to clear the battery stats, this will increase battery by a surprising amount.
When people flash New roms they don't wipe battery stats and that's why there battery life sucks. And yeah sometimes it is the Rom and or the way they use there phone.

Perfomance is better, but the main reason is Sense 3.5. I cant say it effected battery life badly.
CM7 has excellent battery savings.
Before i say anything, This thread is not to decide which rom is the best or the worst. I just want to gather a thread with people achieving the best battery life. + Respect for all devs
Back onto the topic before i get posts saying you'll get flamed , What guys are you mixed together to achieve best battery life? Im a really moderate user and am achieving 8 hours max. I have tried pretty much everything. I usually play 1-2 hours games, feed my facebook addiction in total for 1 hour, check xda for 15 minuets and check my time every 30 minuets on average. Some people achieve mad battery life, like 2 days with 40% left . Havent seen that since the golden i9000 days.
SO guys, Post the following
Radio
ROM (Neccesary, but wont determine the best rom in any way shape or form)
Kernel (Same about ROM)
Usage
and screenshot of battery use for proof.
Cheers guys and i am sure people are looking for good battery life other than me.
UPDATE: Ok, so I flashed android revolution HD and I was looking at the better battery life thread. It was in the desire HD forum soo... yea. Anyway, a normal drain for them is 3-8mA whilst the lowest drain I have got is 110mA. We have a dual core phone but shouldn't that only increase twice or 3x? Not 10x? That is weird. If you leave sense and move onto cm7 you get even a bigger drain. Right now this phone battery life is doomed until we get a bugless aosp rom.
I want to find this out too
Using latest Revolution and latest faux123 and battery dies 8 hours on with 3 hours active?!!
See my signature
Moderate user (IM's Texts, minimal phone calls and an hour of streaming di.fm)
I will post a screenshot of battery later because I am using my stock battery atm testing something.

Been covered before, A LOT.
Due to personal circumstances, such as location, reception strength, network type, being inside/outside the building, different use of wifi, different perception of heavy/moderate/light use by an individual, it is not possible to come to an agreement what bundle is best for EVERYONE.
I know it doesn't help, but that's the truth.
This is a really good idea and I hope it takes off and does good. Just to inform the webstar1 some ROMs will get better our worse battery life depending on if it is a Sense ROM or a Non Sense ROM And it will depend on other factors too such as what services are left in to run in the background and things of that nature. Plus the kernel has a big roll in battery life so making note of them will be very important. The individual user will have a lot to do with battery life too. I say this not because of how much someone talks on the phone or uses their phone. But because using things like task managers regular, not using Bluetooth, not using GPS, and turning WiFi off when you are not in near a WiFi location will help conserve battery greatly too.
Now for my contributio. To the thread I am still using the stock ROM for my daily driver. The battery life on it is like speratic as hell. When I first got my Sensation the battery life was fairly good, but now it can last up to 6 or 7 hours with normal to heavy usage. Or it can only last as short as 3 hours with normal to heavy usage. The worst I have had so far was one day I took it off charge at full charge and all I did was make a 5 minute phone call and stay on XDA for like 30 minutes and 2 hours and 40 minutes later my battery was on 16%. I don't have any screen shots to post but I will try to take some to add here later

I disagree with you. Finding out how people achieve those 2 days will gove us not the same but similar results. So yes, it can potentially be the best for EVERYONE since some people only get 3 to 4 hours with moderate use. And i havent seen a single thread which focuses what combination results in the best battery life for your sensation

Moderate usage - 12h+.
Low usage - 24h.
I find this to be more than acceptable, but it's only so because I use Chichitec batteries.
On stock battery it was 7-8h with moderate usage, but I did basically kill that battery with all the testing I did for the touchscreen fix :\
Anyway, that’s on ARHD 3.6 and Bricked kernel, with Sense mostly removed and JuiceDefender for mobile data.
And I do recommend Anker/Chichitec batteries. They are so cheap that it doesn’t matter if they make a difference in battery life or not. The point is you have a spare in your pocket

It runs much cooler than stock battery
Using EddyOS stock rooted ROM v4...
Its 2.3.5 with sense 3.5
Radio is latest 10.58
Its stock kernel with no tweaks,no underclockings and no task killers..
You can check everything about ROM here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281040
More Details in usage:
On battery: 15 hrs 27 mins
Display on time : 5 hrs 43 mins ( 90% time it was on lowest brightness)
Voice calls: 39 mins
Wifi: 4 hrs 32 mins (90% time i did Web browsing)
No video streaming, no games, no data, no GPS
In picture you can see my signals cut out frequently..3% time it was No signals. Remaining you can see i get low signals.(2-3 bars) 50% of the time. if i had good reception, i could have got a much better battery life..
For me i would say i got atleast 30% improvement than stock battery...
Fair enough. What I'm saying is that threads like this have been created before with not much result. Good luck to making it work,but I'm sceptic about it.

Anker battery about a month and half old now, various ROMs but between trip's MIUI and the formal MIUI as i prefer over sense.
Exchange service on push, gmail service on hourly, so heavy email, reasonable texting (10-15 a day), no games, wifi if i am in the office or home and some web browsing/maps and ym usually also. Full day (24 hours) easily, sometimes a little more or if i have flashed anything and done the obligatory benchmark maybe just under 24hrs before i see it hit 10%.
I like to use Cpu tuner and modify the screen off to drop cpu way low, extreme powersave to use 2G (though its not always successful at setting it) only and thats about it. Also careful with the auto brightness settings..as screen is always the biggest drain especially if its over bright.
24hrs with some small charge left is my benchmark before i will use it as a daily.
How do you guys get goods battery timings with trips Miui or the Miui ROM in development section here?
Whenever i install that ROM my phone starts to warm up like hell... Its with fresh flashing without any applications installed...

Yes i think the 2.3.4 sense are very very good performance wise now. 2.3.5 probably just a bit under. But i dont have any warming issues on the MIUI Roms and Trip's with Bricked 1.5 has been solid the last 2 versions - quite excellent i think. I'm back on Scott's today to give it a go but its looking like i will be at about 20hours max (stock kernel) with very little email today..but both are well workable for me.
On Sense ROMs (either 3.0 or 3.5) I used to manage 20 hours (max), switched to CTDroid's Reverted AOSP V1.1.0 ROM with Bricked Kernel v1.4 (192 - 1536 OnDemand), I've just recorded 1 Day 3hrs
Thinking about getting Anker Battery and seeing how that performs?
(Still got to change my sig!!!!)
On Hypersensation I could get about 15-18 hours on moderate usage, with my 1900MAh battery, but I switched back to Android Revolution HD today with Bricked kernel 1.5, because I love sense
Will post screenshot of my battery stats later on.
was looking for a bigger battery, this battery is bigger and cheaper than anker battery, has anyone used this?
I'm on Bulletproof 1.4 with Bricked kernel set at 1.5 with on demand and I'm extremely pleased with battery life and performance

I don't really know what you are talking about, my phone gets about 2 days battery life average on the DARKSIDE sense...try using setCPU to have it underclock when the screen is off. It works really well for me.
From my experience, battery life seems to vary slightly from device to device. I've read accounts of people getting a couple days from their battery and I wondered how they did that. I also read from somewhere that if you can get 3-4 hours with the display on, you've got the right configuration.
The most recent Sense 3.5 ROM I was running was MikRunny 1.01 (Odex version). I believe the kernel is flashed alongside the ROM. Anyways, battery life was pretty good with that. With maybe 45-60 minutes of screen on time, half a dozen texts on average, a little bit of data usage, 30-45 minutes of bluetooth audio streaming, I was only down to around 70% battery life left after 10-12 hours unplugged from charger. Also, I don't recall having used WiFi either so it was on data all the time.
Sense 3 and 3.5 ROMs are great on battery life. I can push 2 days without much use, and hold for a whole day with quite serious use (2 hours tethering, 1 hour gaming, calls/sms/Emails/etc).
Using mikrunny with the latest rcmix kernel and average 18hrs most days-check the thread, posted screen shots, 4hrs screen on time, a few calls, texting, 3 gmail accounts...really all depends on how/what you use your phone for...experiment with the different settings and try to find what works...also this thread helps

I recently S-OFF my One XL following Facepalm. Before S-OFF, the battery life was about 4 days with light use. After S-OFF, the battery life became a little more than one day with same usage. I'm using Viper XL 3.2.3, recently downgrade hboot from 1.14 to 1.09 before S-OFF.
S off will not affect battery life

But the only change was S-OFF, and the battery life changed drastically.
battery life
The real reason your battery life tanked is because you are running a jellybean build, the sense build rom do better because they have the cpu operating on one core most of the time( battery savings). The sense builds are just better when it comes to battery life, I can't say I have ever got 4 days out of this thing once.
S-Off would have no effect on battery life at all. But if you REALLY wanna rule anything out, wipe and reflash.

The Viper XL I am using is sense based, it is an option to choose whether to install sense during installation. As I said, the only change was S-OFF. I don't think I can get 4 days of battery life on senseless jellybean ROM even just standing by.

Thanks, I'll try it when I get home.
I guess i should rephrase myself, the ics sense based roms had a lot more power-saving then the current jellybean roms that are currently in use.

What appears to be the rom is probably apps that run better on ICS because they've never been optimized for JB. One bad app is capable of tanking your battery life.
The problem seems to resolve. I did not wipe and reflash the rom. But I did upgrade the rom(Viper XL) from OTA, and I also turned off the power saving option and turned it back on (I remember the power saving option was turned on when I did S-OFF, not sure if that's the reason.). The battery consumption was less than 10% over last night, which is acceptable comparing with over 20% battery loss the other night. I also found out that the screen will halt during OTA upgrade if I leave power saving option on. This problem also seem to go away if I turn it off before hand. It looks like that the power saving option need to be turned off before doing any change to the system.
Thanks for all your help!
Same exact problem here, ViperXL and just did the S-Off procedure about a week ago.
Battery like is horrendous ,, I have done two OTA updates for Viper, no change.
Google Services is using 57% of my battery and Android system at 28%, seems very high.
Well four days is rather unrealistic for any phn if you are using it . Low coverage area can drain battery. If you are using phone all day expect to put it on charger daily. I run latest viper and elementalx and if I dont use phone at all or turn on screen ill get like 38hrs. 15 hrs if phone in heavy use and that's uv my phone . 4 days is just silly to expect . Also it takes phone about 5 days for battery to settle when switching roms
