I have just received my samsung galaxy 4 g few days ago ,and I love everything in it expect the poor battery life which makes me have to charge it twice a day,with lite to moderate use,I contacted tmobile about that and they decided to replace the phone BUT with an alternate replacement since they run out of galazy s 4g ,
they offered me mytouch 4g slide .or LG g2x,
I know they both have better camera ,and i love the way the samsung feels to touch,the screen ,etc
do you think i should deal with the battery problem and keep the samsung ?
or i should pick one of those ?which one do you recommend ???

There are numerous tweaks etc for battery life and more. Gingerbread greatly improves battery life compared to Froyo which is stock. I normally get a 2 days+ on battery life. Check out the Dev. section
Well I had a g2x when they first came out and it was a god awful piece of sh#+. I have no idea about the my touch slide. I would suggest going to their forum and read around for problems they have. Don't ask if their phone is better because they will of course say yes. Look for common issued people complain about. As far as your current phone goes the battery life on froyo was crappy but having to charge twice a day with light use is not normal in my opinion.

I found charging twice a day to be normal on any stock android so far. Tweaks definately make it way better but I doubt a stock G2x or MT4g slide is going to be any better in that regard. My friends MT4g was about the same as my stock GS4G. Everyone I know with a G2x hates it and says its a POS. Just my 2 cents
so you guys think i should possibly deal with the battery problem and keep the SGS4G?
or at least exclude the LG G2x?
I would at least flash the bali uv kernal and see if you like the improved battery life first. If its not enough the octane rom is killer for battery life. Fyi the bali is for your stock froyo and simply a kernal while maintaining your stock rom and octane is based on gingerbread and a whole different ballgame
Dude I used to be dissapointed in this phones battery life. But after running any gb rom with juice defender, it had improved GREATLY. Batt life on octane is insane.

I concur had the same poor battery life on stock gs4g then i upgraded to gingerbead and it had waaayy better battery life. Like previous have stated theres a lot of tweaks for better battery life and also after you flash a new firmware or even as soon as u get a new phone you gotta calibrate the battery also.The g2x, my friend also has it and he hates it also. I used it and it was pretty slow and laggy probably all the bloat.
That does not seem like normal to me either. Do you have lots of widgets running in the background? do you play games often? do you have some kind of task killer software? Look at your 4G/Edge icon is it constantly running? These things drain your battery very fast. I dont know about the my touch 4g slide or the g2x research on those and then decide.
My advice is if it truely is a bad hardware problem then do trade it in. There's nothing you can do to fix it. If it's not then you can decide wether you want to keep it or trade it in.
Hi guys. My dad bought a Nexus S i9023, and I slapped an ICS ROM on top of it. The thing is: the battery drains very quickly. As he is a businessman, he needs a ROM that has a good battery life, let's say, for two days (more would be welcome). What would you suggest me?

Thanks for your reply. I'll try that.
Yw Man ..
im not so pro but there is many many rom and kernel can help you about battery saving .. but both of em were my own exprience..
AndroidMe 1.1.0 And Eugene Kernele Speedy 3 .. both awesome
dont know about their new version .. but i read ppl comment new version more stable and faster ..
From my experience the ROM doesn't affect battery life as much as a kernel can.
If you're using the stock ICS ROM try flashing Eugene373's SPEEDY 5 kernel.
Select Gov: Scary
IO Scheduler: Simple IO
This kernel has the best DEEP SLEEP times which in effect should have better battery life.
However on another note, 2 days of battery time is nearly impossible if he's going to make several calls a day. No matter what ROM/Kernel you use, you still have to plug in the charger at least once in the course of 48 hours.
i would say , it's not about ROM , but something related to kernel and your usage.
try Steve.Garon kernel or Eugene373's kernel , they say they are battery friendly. try UV , never OC, i would suggest 100 - 800 is good.
about usage , set brilliantness to minim as possible , don't use 3G connection but 2G, shut GPS BT and WIFI when not need.
easiest way !!! why don't you buy your dad an extra battery or external power source ? i don't know how to say it in english , just like a big battery , contains at least 10,000+ mAh ,and can use it charge phone, laptop , mp3, mp4 or something via USB.
like me , i have 2 batteries , so i don't worry about my battery ...it hardly kill 2 batteries in one day...
kangy-s rom with eugene's speedy 5 sio scheduler .. i get one day heavy usage with like 5 hrs on call .. over 100 sms .. over 2 hrs of whatsapp usage .. music .. its awesome
Thanks for your replies guys! I installed AOSP+ ROM with Eugene kernel 3.1.9.
Edit: It's over one day since my dad's Nexus is unplugged, and the battery is 50% !!

hey guys sry for the late reply.. the ic suggestions are really great but i actually wanna try out with gingerbread roms also.. and from the list i searched in, am guessing these roms come with theiir custom kernels...
http : / / nexusshacks . com/category/nexus-s-roms/page/2/
but they all seem to be OC...
so i would really be thankful if u could suggest me some gud ones..

Rom with Good battery
I have tried many many many ginger bread roms, from cm 7 to other roms. I must say oxygen rom is by far the best. used to have 1.5-2 days of battery life with it. of course coupled with Glados kernel or Trinity. Up to you, just give it a shot, u wont regret it make sure u install 2.3.1 not 2.3.2 as its more stable
download.oxygen.im/roms/update-oxygen-2.3.1-NS-signed.zip
and for Ice cream Sandwich i would definitely suggest AOSP+ by Androiduser 0011000. its simply great with minor modifications. Gives great battery life with Glados or ICUP Eugene speedy 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397358
hope i was of help
PS. Flashing kernels is very safe. A Kernel contains the Drivers for your phone.so its very safe. Custom Kernels usually offer nice mods like "better screen colors" "better Battery" and "BLN" which i like the most because the 4 touch buttons light up when u recieve smthg.
and ofcourse you can always go back to stock.
cool thanx a lot.. will try it today itself..

I actually have a similar question. I myself own a Epic 4g Touch (GS2), but my girlfirend has a Nexus S for T-Mobile and she is running CM7. thing is i slapped that on for her when that was the most up to date thing, and you ICS upon us, i thought it was time i upgraded her phone. I wanted to put CyberGR-MOD using Matr1x 14.5CFS, but i'm going based off what i could read about it. It appears to be fast, tweaked, and customizable, just what i want. Only thing that i don't know is, is it Stable, and is the battery life good. Anyone have any thoughts on this ROM

You could actually read the thread of the Rom, where in the second post says this:

The Display Panel has some limit on the frame rate and hence there is visible flickering on the UI.
Bluetooth performance is slow when WiFi is turned on.
Few random crashes (?)

So yeah, there are bugs, but the driver is ready por daily usage as said by various forums members in the post of the rom (Dhiru's Cyangenmod 10.1 Alpha 5)
I'm a noob too, but I tried for one year Dhiru' roms, so I can tell you this rom is awesome, the only problem is the battery life but i think they will solve this problem soon

A5 wasn't supposed to be a daily driver yet.. Just in case you happily charging your A4/A5 at over 50 degrees, change to a external battery charger or risk shortening your battery's life at a fast rate. For Li-ion batts, max charging temp is 45 degrees, discharge temp shouldn't be over 60..
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_at_high_and_low_temperatures
Thanks!
If you don't mess up while flashing and do a clean flash, i think it is pretty good as a daily driver.
For me battery last for a day. Though there are some bugs they don't bother much in mundane tasks. I was on Frankestein mod earlier and changed to A5. Not much of difference in laying games and all.
BUT If u are really looking for a fully stable rom, wait...
I was on 4.1.2 A4, then i upgraded to 4.2.2 A5, and i have less problems (some videos on youtube not working, now all of them work ). Is it working with any issue? No, 2 times rebooted without any reason, but for me is not a problem. And the battery life is short, but for me it has never been more than 8-12 hours. So u decide, but i read that alpha 6 is about to come (even i read about a beta??).
backlight!!!
I'm having the backlight issue on cm10.1 a5. Is there any way to fix it?
4.2.2 A6
It work well. The main problem is battery drain.
i have this problems on A6: battery drain; can't fully charge the phone (when i remove the charger, battery return to 94%), and when i take a video at 720p there is big lag on the screen and the gallery crash...

HI
Can everybody says to me which custom rom for Htc One S has better battery efficiency ? it's better to talk about last versions of each rom.
1.Paranoid Android 2. AOKP 3. CyanogenMod 4. MIUI 5. PAC-MAN
thanks
I've heard really good stuff about odyssey. I get about 26h on average using cm 10.2 though
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
I ran Codename Lungo (stripped down version of CyanogenMod) for a while and it seemed good for battery, but I don't really have any benchmarks.
my first custom rom was PAC-MAN and i experienced very Bad battery draining with it's 4.2.2 release and 4.3 nightlies . lest than 10 H common use such as 3h wireless , 3 calls per day for 2 min avg , working at least 1 h by Ui and ... my htc one s 's battery percentage fell down to approximately 10% . that was very awful
these days i've started to take a survey in most popular Roms and firstly i started with CM 10.2 and this rom have amazed me . 24 H with common use that i mentioned before.
i' m trying more and share results for you as soon .
