Hi there!
I'm using the Thiaiz ROM on my o3d with the v6 supercharger script enabled.
Still my battery life is just as bad as it was before i was using any sort of rom or root?
Any ideas why this is and/or how to improve this fact?
Many thanks in advance!
i tried custom roms,but finally i return 10b stock ROM,after root and i remove unused system apps with systemapp remover 4.22 (before backup),use taskkiller 2.0.4,i think best stable version 10b stock ROM,sorry for my bad English

is your data always on?
do you have screen on all the time?
Did you callibrate your battery?
Did you flash the rom at 100% battery?
For me, I'm using a modified version of Thiaiz's rom. I got both his scripts running and the v6 supercharger script. Data is always on and when that's not on, Wifi will always be on. So basically I am always in someways connected to internet. Running a live wallpaper. Got a couple of services doing stuff in the background... with my amount of use I get an average of 9 hours maxed. My amount of use is pretty much google voice, calling, random game here and there, and picture taking. Screen is off most of the time.
What I do for battery life, well first I'm using Go Launcher Ex. Surprisingly, choice in launcher does affect battery life in some ways. SetCPU, main Profile is at Performance governor. This isn't good for battery, but I want it to run at max while screen is on. I did set profiles for it to go down to 600 max, 300 min for when screen is off. Hmm, a few tweaks here and there that I can't recall.
No apps related to anything like Juice Defender.
Absolutely NOTHING that even appears to be a task killer.
Personally, I carry a few portable chargers with me everywhere I go so battery life doesn't matter to me. Which is why I can afford to use live wallpapers and etc.

with my amount of use I get an average of 14 hours maxed .
1: if u where using Go Launcher u most use home manger app it let u kill lg
stock launcher that u don't use it .
2: startup cleaner app from the market.
3: fast reboot app from the market.
Today I received my new 1800 mAh battery from e-bay I will try it then I let u
Know is it worth it or not .

Actually, I don't really recommend the Fast Reboot app.
I tried it out before and its basically just a Kill All Task Killer. After you use it, you get more space and speed for about a couple of minutes before all the apps you've killed with Fast Reboot restarts back.
That's bad for battery life because having the apps in memory doesn't affect your battery life the way apps starting up and restarting does. If you use fast reboot too much, your battery life will go down FAST. Might as well just reboot phone normally
I've just bought a spare battery so i can set my cpu at 800 min and 1008 max with the SetCPU app. When screen is off i still set it all to the minimum though.
Seems like battery just will not be a selling point for the o3d so buying an extra battery or anything like that will be the best option!
1.Reduce display brightness of your screen
Although Samsung Galaxy S come with Super AMOLED which is supposedly to reduce your battery consumption but ironically it is one of the biggest battery life eater of your phone. Try to disable Automatic brightness and set it to the lowest level will improve your battery life a lot.
2. Remove unused widget in the menu
You must always remember that the more widget you have, the more battery life will be consumed up especially those widgets that use data connection and auto sync based on schedule. PS: only keep those widgets that you really need.
3.4. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS when idle
Only turn on Bluetooth and GPS when you need it, otherwise please disable it as it will consume your battery resources. Or please ensure that the charger is hook on your device when you turn on the GPS in the car.
5. Turn off 3G data connection, use Wi-Fi instead
Always gets connected with Wi-Fi when available. 3G data connection consume more battery compare to Wi-Fi connection. Turn off both of them when not needed.
6. Ensure you phone have a good signal as poor signal consume more battery life
When the phone is at the poor receiving end it will tend to use more power than usual to increase its signal strength with the communication tower. So it is always good to make sure that your phone has a good signal reception. You can try to switch to 2G if 3G connection signal in your area is poor.
7. Try to disable / reduce auto-sync whenever possible
All you have learned, data connection does consume lot of your battery life. By disabling the background scheduled auto-sync applications like Facebook, Gmail and Twitter can save your phone lot deal of battery life. If you really have to turn on the auto-sync feature in the phone try to reduce the frequency of auto-sync will also help to improve your phone battery life.
8. Disable new Samsung Apps notification
You can turn off new Samsung Apps notification if you not using it.
The configuration can be access through ~ >Settings >Application > Samsung Apps > Off
9. Turn off motion sensor
Only enable the Samsung Galaxy S Motion features that you using and try to disable those you not using like turn over, tilt, panning and double tap, turn them off as it might save your some battery life.
10. Use solid black static wallpaper and no live wallpaper
Most of the phone including Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED will tend to use less power on just solid black wallpaper than a lively solid white color based wallpaper because there will be almost no backlight on the screen. Please do bear in mind that a lovely animation live wallpaper will even cost you more battery life as ~ CPU power = battery life.
11. Fully close application that not use
Samsung Galaxy S is a super multitasking mini computer that come with dual-core processor but running a lot of applications at the background can actually increase your battery usage because they all require your phone CPU processing power. So it is advisable to fully close all the background applications that you not needed.
12. Freeze unused bundle applications
Too many original bundle software running in your Samsung Galaxy S? Freeze them… Titanium Backup Pro provide a way for you to freeze away all the stock application like Social Hub, Email, Maps that are running and utilizing your phone processing power even when you’r not using them. Ps: Your phone need to be rooted before you can use the Titanium Backup Pro.
13. Undervolt and underclock You 800Mhz GHz CPU
Aside from display, Samsung Galaxy S′s powerful CPU is one of the reason why your battery life eat up so fast. You can just underclock and undervolt it with SetCPU if you don’t need that much of processing power. Ps: Your phone need to be rooted before you can use the SetCPU.
14.Download and install JuiceDefender
With an amazingly over 5,000,000 downloads recorded so far in the Android market, JuiceDefender will definately extend your the battery life of your Samsung Galaxy S. JuiceDefender pack with powerful and easy to use power manager app that specifically designed to extend the battery life of your Android device. It can automatically and transparently manages the utilisation of your S battery like when to enable and disable the 3G/4G connectivity and WiFi.
JuiceDefender is available in the Android Market for free and if you would like to have a more powerful (customisable) version you can download the add-on JuiceDefender Ultimate for a small fee of $6.83.
15. Use custom ROM / firmware
Custom ROM / firmware offer a lot of optimization and tweaks to improve the performance of your battery life. You can try it out if you feel that after you have tried out all the tips above and your battery still draining too fast. But please be reminded that flashing a custom ROM / firmware will be voiding the warranty provided by Samsung.
Please let me know if there are other tips and tweaks to improve battery life of Samsung Galaxy S/Cappy that I have missed out.
I think #14 is not necessary if you are running a custom ROM
why wouldnt it be?
I believe number 11 has been proven untrue in the fact that killing tasks that the phone will reopen soon after actually reduces battery life hence the reason task killers are bad. Also the captivate only has a single core processor.
Other than that nice work it should help people out.
If you use a stock ROM with no voodoo color built into the kernel, then use full brightness, I do and I get great battery life, the screen isn't the biggest battery life sucker.... this isn't the greatest battery saving thread from what I can see.

Generally good tips, but definitely a few holes here and there.
For example, GPS doesn't drain when 'on', only when certain apps use it, making it pretty safe to keep toggled on all the time.
You can go further with SetCPU and other similar apps but underclocking during screen off, and I think that's helping me save battery in my personal experience.
Having a black wallpaper is good and all, but I feel that doing that is a bit too far in optimizing battery life. What's the point of having a pretty decent screen when all you do is use a black wallpaper?
Or flash Darky rom 10.2 Extreme Edition.

That is no good, considering the screen should be taking most of the power.
You either arent using your phone or you are crushing batteries in hours.
No I'm using it, Android OS process in ICS includes more than what they do in GB. It last all day (~15 hours with %40 left)
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Yeah I have the ICS port, build three, and the battery sucked the first day due to all the downloading and cpu usage, but after that and a full charge and battery diagnostic wipe it was a great life with decent usage on apps and data and messaging with auto brightness
In Point 11, Captivate uses single processor....and killing system apps causes more battery drains....
My limited experience with roms suggests that as roms are works-in-progress their battery life can vary widely. Serenity6.1 has really seemed to be a long life rom.
These steps do make a big difference, also the Beta 2 build for ICS solves a lot of issues that users had with ICS battery life. Honestly if you want even more battery life grab the 3500 mah extended battery off amazon for $10.

Basically dont use your smartphone as a smartphone. Thats what you're saying by turning off all the good features of the phone.
1, 3, 4, 11 are like NO DUH!!!
5. Are you saying use EDGE? It will save some battery, but you have to consider it may take longer to load something, and thus the screen might be on longer, negating savings. Plus, it's a PITA to change back and forth.
6. Other than switching to EDGE, not really in your control.
7. That's stupid. It defeats the whole purpose of having a smartphone.
9. As long as you lock orientation. I doubt it saves much though...
15. YES, that can be HUGE.

I agree. I think a compromise is a better idea. A lot of ROMs have black wallpapers with a small % of extremely brightly colored random or geometric designs, or green android-ish swirls or something that look AMAZING on the AMOLED screen.
Thank you all for your feedback.

What rom should I use and also what tweaks/scripts should I install to get the best battery life
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Hard to answer without testing some roms for yourself....
Synergy Rom is a good start which eliminates bloat from the provider...and then optimize the rom. Add a better kernel over stock like Imo or Ziggy and that took controlling CPU power (depending on your setting) can help gain better battery life...mean over 8+ or 12+ hours of life
30+ hours with almost 4 hours of screen time : cm10
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
This isn't really a tweak or script, but turning off mobile data and using wifi helps a ton. Constantly searching for 3G or 4G connection is what kills my phone's battery.
Here is what helps me..
-turn off any data that doesn't need to be running in the background while you are using it i.e...gps, 4g, bluetooth. (Use "phone info" from the market to switch from 3g to 4g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771840
-make email manual push. when you have email set to constantly search for new incoming messages it can run down more than needed. if nothing else switch to every 15-30 min.
- turn off all notifications that you dont need to be notified about
-screen brightness will be a HUGE battery eater. I have mine set at 1% most of the day which really helps. this screen is bright enough to have it that low and still see well.
-download "widgetsoid x2" free. a fully customizable toggle bar which will allow for easy on off for items like bluetooth, gps, wifi and gives you a brightness option to customize 3 settings. I have mine set for 1, 25 and 45%
-use setcpu or another app alike to control cpu. create a profile for "screen off".I set my profile at 348x486. this drops the processor while screen is in sleep mode and will save battery life.
-I dont know how effective this is, but I heard it helps and makes sense. Choose a dark wallpaper. Having a bright, full white wallpaper takes more battery life to display.
As for ROM's, its hard to say. there are so many things to take into consideration when someone says they got 30 hours on a rom vs the next person who only gets 12 hours. how much are they using it, what do they have running inthe background...etc. I tried both bean and synergy and I prefer bean. He just released R6 yesterday and people seem to like it a lot. I personally prefer R2, his original release. It has been super solid and I have had better results from it over 3.1, V5 and his late R6. My buddy has had GREAT results with synergy, but I did not. I gave it a week and ended up restoring back to bean.
download BatterySaver app from market. My s3 runs 12-15 hours on "Intelligent Mode"
Honestly, you can only do so much with software tweaks. If you're a hardcore power user, I suggest getting an extra battery of a similar size (~2000mah) or getting an extended battery.
As for what you can do to save battery, the only thing I can think of that people haven't already mentioned is turning off animations. It can make things feel a bit choppy, but you'll get things done faster, which means less screen time.
Hey guys, just interested in everyone's tips and tricks on saving battery life on the S4, both Octo-Core and Quad core variants!
Tips i know:
-Power Saving mode
-turn of Gestures like air view and etc.
-Bluetooth and wifi turned off when not used
-LTE turned off (my carrier doesnt have lte )
-underclock cpu little
Any suggestions?

Buy a spare battery
Doubles your battery life for around $20!
no money at the momen! haha!!! also would i be sacraficing NFC if i buy a cheap one of ebay? :S or the nfc chip is on the back like the note 2?
turning display brightness down & using the screen less will save battery life.
this thing has a monster battery anyways. im not worried too much about it myself
I prefer using the phone at its full potential so a spare battery would be the best for me.
For normal users:
- Set "Keep WiFi on during sleep" to never.
- Install JuiceDefender app from PlayStore.
-Turn off motion sensors like air view, air gestures.
-Set a dark wallpaper
For rooted users:
-Install the Greenify app from PlayStore. It hibernates app when phone is in deep sleep.
-Underclock your phone
-Wait for someone to make a special kernel on this phone like people did on the Galaxy S3 so you can do many customizations.
What should I do in order to get a stock android experience feel on the MIUI 6?
I was thinking about installing the Google Now launcher, any suggestions apart from that?
Also to keep my phone snappy and lag free, what monthly maintenance should I do? I have had horrible experience with my Galaxy Note and do not want to happen that to my Mi4i
Will it be good enough to use it without a screen protector and external cover??

Got my Mi4i today, installed the Google Now launcher and made it default... But this will not change the pull down notification/toggles shade UI or the lockscreen UI... If you want a full level stock lollipop experience, you will have to root it and then modify the ROM/flash a CM ROM, when it becomes available...
If you head over to mi.com India site, you'll get a sim card tray and screen protector from Xiaomi for free on purchase of Mi4i/redmi 2....
Weekly Maintenance: There is nothing as such which u can do apart from keeping it away from bloat wares
Using without Cover & Screen Guard would depend completely on your usage - If you can manage it like that - Go without them. I personally would be using it without any covers and stuff
If you really want a Stock Exp - Flash CM once its ported for Mi4i or any other AOSP Based ROM.
Thanks, but MIUI6 is awesome!
I used to prefer stock android, but MIUI6 just works, it has a solution for almost everything. And it is very very convenient. I am loving the ROM, especially the fusion of the best of android features with the copied elegance of iOS.
Little things like leaving the screen to where the app was last accessed makes a lot of difference.
Battery life is surprisingly awesome.
I got a screen time of 6+ hours after the first recharge, which is mind blowing.
Hope it continues.
Over all the phone is very cool in the hand and smooth in operation
i got 8+ hrs sot on first charge
MIUI 6 is pretty good!

i got a scratch on screen when it was in same pocket where i kept keys. So don't even think of using without tempered glass or screenguard. :crying:
I feel the same, Some how I do not like MIUI, I always like Stock Android experience.
Only way to experience is b installing Google Now Launcher. But this doesn't work quite well on this device. It shows black pages in App drawer and black rectangular boxes on home page...
Maybe need to wait to get this device rooted.....
miui is lagging like hell, its beauty but is lagging very very very much, i hate it
I just thought the same!
My only reason to stay on MIUI is due to its camera. I was thinking somehow remove all the memory hogging MIUI crap except the camera and install some launcher like Nova.
Need some help regarding which files are safe to remove so the phone + camera app works
non expandable storage kills the mobile or else its good

If you want to switch, flash these -
1)Resurrection Remix (ROM)
2)Snapdragon Camera V2 (Keep the camera quality intact)
3)Viper4Android (Fix bad speaker and greatly improve jack audio)
4)Sensei Kernel (no heating issues - EVER, butter smooth performance all around, nearly a 2 day battery life)
With Snapdragon Camera -
Go to settings, change Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness to Level 6(Sharpness Level 2 is horrible)
Keep in mind that these settings can reset themselves after switching between HDR and normal, so check those first.
Enable Wavelet Denoise Mode too!
For Sensei Kernel -
1) Use zzmove governor for the big cores (high power), interactive for the LITTLE cores (low power).
2) Alucard CPU Hotplug - Max cores on screen on - 8, screen off - 2
3) I/O scheduler - zen, set read ahead to 1024kB
Now head over to Configurations in the Settings menu, go to performance tuning and force GPU for 2D rendering. This will affect battery life a little but will eliminate any kind of lag.
This is all I did and I'm very, very satisfied.

Thanks for the reply . I will give RR ROM a try too.
Though I have installed the SD camera on MIUI itself but the quality is not as good as MIUI camera. I have to say though SD camera is the only replacement for custom ROMs
