Hi guys
I'm on RemICS v3.0 based on 4.2.1 CM alpha 3. From a little my battery goes to death in just 12 hours! I installed both Better Battery Stats and Gsam battery monitor! I noticed just some wakelocks during the night but I noticed (with Gsam) that Media process is draining a lot of battery! I think (took a look on the web) it is a notorius problem! Can someone help me to figure it out! Thank you!

Maybe ur battery's life had gone & should go for new one.
To check, once take out ur battery & spin it on flat surface, if it spins then it's swollen & that means battery has to be changed.

I flashed RemICS v5.2 based on 4.2.2, seems the same! Maybe need I to flash a better kernel?

Anyway this doesn't look very good. You may consider buying a new battery...
I think. that 12 hours is quite good. For me it's last just about for 8-7 hours depending on usage.

One year and a half is the age of mine when it started behaving like you describe.
Mine never got to last more than 18 hours, even when the battery was good and with a stock rom. All of a sudden I had to start hoping to get to my office before my battery died. And I live 1 hour away from my office!
Believe me and those who suggest changing the battery. A honest 1900 mAh battery is rather cheap on ebay, and can bring you that reassuring feeling of having power enough at least for a whole day!

Hi. I am using stock ics. Getting 1.5days of battery with light usage of data(2g). However. Is there a rom that can push it, to a full 2 days? I'm irritated having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. also I would prefer a stable rom only.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
you can put a custom kernel that can extend your battery life. i recommend glados for ics.
Are there any problems with it ?

about GlaDos
if you have S-amuled you will have a greenish screen when waking the device
(that can be fixed with some voodoo configuration editing)
other then that i personally think this is the best available kernel for ICS right now.
it has Deep Idle so you will probably see some improvement of battery life

Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.
If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

I would like to know, how long your HTC One S battery life is with different Roms.
There are so many different Roms and Versions on XDA.
Please upload your battery life at 10% and screen time in this thread.
I´m running on CM10 Nightly 20121001 from http://www.get.cm
I´ll upload my screenshots about the battery life bar this evening.
I hope, you can help me to decide, which ROM is the best.
Edit: so here are my screenshots.. (as a post)

mhmhm.. i think, that´s okay, cause your Wi-Fi maybe was on and let me guess, your 3G/Data was online, too..
Then try to turn on flight-mode..
I was in France last holidays and my phone was turned on up to 8 days (with flight mode)
Hey i use the 1.4.1 rom sensation and my battery down 2% on 2% very fast
If I use an hour the battery goes below 50%
which will be the problem?
Thanks
You might be getting a wakelock. You can download "better battery stats" and run it and it will let you know which app is causing the wake lock if any. If no wake lock is present, could be time for a new battery. But first see if wake lock is happening. This could be draining the battery. Read a bit about wake locks. You can google it. Hope this helps you out. Best of luck. Here is a link to the apk better battery stats. It also explains wakelocks.

Yes, because your not having any wake lock issues as above post suggested it's time for a new battery. You can get a extended life battery for under 20 dollars. Most people prefer the Anker battery. People have had great luck with that battery. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes

One suggestion before you purchase any new battery
Make a Nandroid Backup of your current ROM and install ARHD with Stock kernel and check...if you get the same results then definitely you need a new one....and if your battery life is good again then you know what to do

1 suggestion.... after installing any ROM, give some time to sattle down the ROM as well as kernel... min 3-5 full battery cycle... means u can stay it with 4-5 days...only 1day will never give u the correct result...

Does anyone know the difference between beanstalk and CM 10.1's jelly bean battery life?? Because i just got beanstalk yesterday and it's been draining my battery pretty quick so I'm thinking about switching back to CM 10.1 to see if there are any differences in the battery life..
I don't think there are any differences to be honest.
Beanstalk is based on CM10.1 with some extra features.
But I still recommend to try as many as different ROMs possible because it might be ROM but it also could be your old battery.
My battery is new and it is still bad. So I can see if it's older and worn out battery, must be really bad.
By the way, ice cream sandwich and jellybean have worse battery life than gingerbread.

I was out today, and had screen at max brightness using gps for directions, playing solitaire and using 3g for FB, email ect... I only got 6 hrs battery with 3.5 hrs screen time.. I really didn't think that lowering the brightness helped that much, as I usually don't have it at full, but there is a huge difference.. Over 50% drop in battery life..
A simple rom with rich dark kernel
If u want the best battery from your phone consider trying Rasbeanjelly ROM with matr1x kernel.This ROM and kernel has always given me the best battery life though this ROM is not as highly customizable as aokp, paranoid android etc.

RC2 isn't that old (eaven if they pussed RC4 now), SO I'm guessing you dont have it installed for a long time, stay with it a couple of days and let the sistem calibrate the battery properly, after a fiew charging cicles it will be fine...if that doesent work try bb6 with marmite or helly 4.1.2 with Devil kernel updated

I too play Ingress, if you're getting about 5 hours of play time you're doing very good. Most people that I play with get 2 hours max as Ingress is a client heavy app. Remember that playing Ingress is like streaming a movie to your phone and running GPS. The data/Wi-Fi and GPS use a lot of power as they are always on with your screen. I have found that if I tether my phone to another device and just use Wi-Fi for data I get about another 30 min of play time, or if I just use the phone as a hot-spot I will get about 4 hours of play on my N7 with out recharging.
