I flashed the 3.2.5 full rom on HOX and I find the Wifi to be the biggest battery drain. Battery is at 85% after 7 hours of use. My Wifi stays on always. Its usage is 30%. Never had this trouble on stock ROM.
With regards to ViperXL, everything is stock. I didn't flash a new kernel or wifi/radio. Just flashed the ROM. Experience users before have said to give it a couple of days for the cache and dalvik cache to build up when flashing a new ROM. Does Wifi fall under this as well?
Should I be doing something else?
15% drain sounds pretty good for 7 hours. Also the WiFi use is 30% of 15%

But I didn't use the phone fore anything - apart from turning the screen on a bunch of times, turned on navigation to see if it craps out on (which it did) and used whatsapp. Maybe I should give it a couple of days before I start asking questions about the wifi.
Also, should the new G Maps update fix the problem of Maps on 4.1.1?
Yeah that's nothing to be worried. I used to get about 8-9 hours with at the most 30 minutes of on screen time with stock viperxl and cm10 when it dipped down to 15%. A lot of people are getting worse times than mine. The thing that really saved my battery life was flashing a new radio. Singtel 3.17 to be exact with CleanRom 5.1.

It sounds like you're getting good battery life with this ROM. I've found this ROM to be much more efficient than the stock ROM, even with Wi-Fi on.
Here's what my battery stats look like after a full day.

Hey, I was wondering if any knows the best rom for battery life? Stock wasn't to good on battery and I'm trying WeaponG2x as we speak. and lost 5% in battery in the last 20 minutes! From simple texting. Unless that's normal? Just comparing it from my previous phones but anyone know which one is pretty good on battery?? Thanks in advance.
I was on the latest Weapon rom as well, and yesterday all day using the phone for texting and calls only while on wifi calling, I got 12 hours and on 60 something % before I went to bed... I didn't use it for data pretty much at all (I was home all day)... What I have come to, all roms are pretty good with stock kernel and wifi calling on, as long as you aren't playing games or browsing the web like crazy. Those two things make my battery die super fast. Every rom handles things different, I'd say weapons and EB 2.3.3 roms are great on battery.
+1 for Weapon battery life.
I'm a pretty heavy user (data, gaming, web, all day) and I seem to get the best life from Weapon.
On stock GB I was lucky to get 4 hours. Weapon regularly gives me 8+, even [email protected] Weapon stock kernel has even better life.

Hello. I see people talking about clearing battery stats in order to make battery usage perform the best in WeaponG2x. Before installing WeaponG2x I cleared the battery stats in ClockworkMod Recovery. Is this what they are talking about or is there also some setting in WeaponG2x that I need to look at? Thanks.

Thanks! That's the whole reason I'm not using Weapon 3.
And yes, clear stats in cwm. It seemed to help my battery. I did it again after running the mod for about a week.
hey guys, first post here, got my g/f skyrocket as a christmas gift. been iphone owners for past couple of years. love the phone and and system but as usual battery drain is an issue. i installed nexusmod and stockish kernel and the batt improved but still it wasnt near where other guys were reporting. so i flashed with skyrocket kernel and also i flashed it with a script that limited the cpus to around 1gh.
i would post screen shots but im not allowed since its my first post.
well after a full day, i got
- 10h of total use
- 2hr of display time on
- 30m calls
wifi off
screen brightness - 10-30%
gps off
sync off
4 emails acc checking every 30mins
so how does this sound with the rom, kernel and script setup? no wakelocks or anything.
i thought i would get much better results with cpus underclocked.
thats in advance
I find it's really the display that destroys battery life. I hardly used my phone for one day and got 20hous and still had a few hours left but then today I unplugged at 7 am and by 8 pm I was down at 25% because I used it for about 2 hours on the train.

It may be something you may have done.
Did you by chance flash some tweaks on top of zeus?
is this 5 days battery life like even with data and wifi on and if so is it with the ics theme added or no and if yes what are you guys doing and what battery are you using to achiueve this insane battery
In my experience the only way to get that kind of battery life is to basically not use it much. Which defeats the purpose of carrying it around. I use the internet quite heavily, text occasionally, gps, bluetooth and wifi typically stay off and with that usage I might be able to squeeze out a day and a half. Just my experience.

I agree Zeus has excellent battery life, 2-3 days all the time. I will say that I had to reflash Zeus once because I couldn't seem to get more than 6 hours out of the battery, I just chalked it up to a bad flash.
I'm having bad battery life too...I get good battery on the first day after a reboot or something but after that its back to 10 hours

1. I am new to sensation.
2. Device gets hot when used for a while. Normal?
3. Battery life - none! Worst from any of the devices I used (and I had them all)
4. Running Quatrro ICS ROM from Virtouos.

I have an extended 1900mAh battery and it still gets hot at times.
I see your screen takes up a lot and so does mine, but I get WAY longer than 4 hours even on regular battery. Maybe try changing ROM's to see if it makes a difference. Or check out this battery.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh...ZJMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333056174&sr=8-1
Try installing a different rom & kernel. Then try setcpu or something similar that let's you control CPU clock speeds. Set up custom profiles for the CPU. Whenever mines starts to get hot it underclocks to a slower speed bringing the temp back down.

Hope i Helped
i have the best battery life with insert coin sense 4 beta + bricked kernel 0.5
I don't know if it is a problem with my battery, or my phone, or even the ROM but whenever my phone is discharging it discharges by 2%. I just changed the battery to an Anker 1900mAh battery (brand new from Amazon). I've been using AlbinoMan887's ROM and I have done everything from discharging the battery and recharging it, wiping it full and even reseating the battery. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

This is almost normal usage. This shouldn't be normal on a brand new battery! (Sorry that one of the screenshots was in Spanish. Let my parents borrow my phone.)

I'm going to try out some other ROMs, good looking out. My stock battery is shot. It does the exact same thing. That's why I thought I needed a new battery.
