Battery Life

Have one of these, rooted, stock rom on Rogers (LTE).
The battery life seems inconsistent... Some days it seems fine but days like today with 11 hours off the charger, with the two highest battery culprits being android OS (46%) and android system (16%) the battery life is already at 26%.
Other days when its on my desk it uses nowhere near as much...

But seriously though, post this in q&a as you will not get reamed in the ___.
Answer: try one of the roms in this forum since that is what this forum is for, roms and development and such. They should be your answer since your current rom is filled with BS that sucks battery away my friend

If you are rooted and not afraid of flashing ROMs than get BeastMOD ROM. The name says it all. I m heavy user and i go for a day with full charge.

You talking about the TMo version? I did a search and I cant find a Skyrocket or Rogers version of a BeastMOD ROM.
BTW I get have been getting 34-37 hrs @ 20-15% on the BoneSTOCKeteer-v1.0 ROM with med to light use. Your mileage may vary, but stock ROM only lasted a day with the same use.
edit: the more you play with/use your phone the faster the battery is going to peter out no matter the ROM

I noticed that wifi has a big impact on battery life. I hit about 50% of battery life with it on in about 5 hours but with it off and moderate use I can get 2 days use.
Just a thought and I froze lots of the SNS syncing apps with TB. I dont use those since i use another program for FB.

I actually like the ATT Smart Wifi app. Shuts down wifi when not in use. I think the free version of Juice Defender doesn't do that.

I have now owned my 727R for 6 weeks, coming from an iphone 4. I am finding the battery life inconsistent from charge to charge and anywhere from barely adequate to downright poor. Maximum I have ever gotten was 26 hours with minimal use and minimum has been 10 hours with minimal use.
I have installed and use Juice defender, and have looked at a variety of apps such as cpu spy, cpu hound, traffic monitor. I have turned off notification as much as possible and all other tricks under the sun.
My phone does not seem to go to deep sleep often and a lot of times it shows as awake even though the screen was off for a while.
The straw that broke the camle was when I cmpared notes with my clleague who has a Galaxy S (I know, no 4g, no LTE, smaller csreen). But he is getting 90% battery life with wifi and bluetooth on after 7 hours 15 minutes (minimal use). In the same time period I am down to 60% with bluetooth off!
I am not planning on rooting the phone and using custom ROMS or Kernels right now.
What gives? What do I look at to improve battery life?
Thanks

i notice with out a lot of changes i get horrible horrible battery life. but with a custom rom like quick wiz. i turn screen down. wifi off. under clock it and use a battery saver plus task killer i get two days moderet (use

I would suggest since Roger stock rom sucks the life out of the battery to root it and use faux123 kernel and Gideon's script to under clock it. Im using at&t stock rom rooted and faux123 kernel and I haven't had a bad battery day yet.. currently 12hrs moderate use 73% still.... not bad at all. Give it a try.. its not like it could any worse lol

It looks like this isn't available for Skyrocket.
1) Does it work like it should, and does it save battery, or is the battery savings negated by other junk running with it in the background? Reviews seem very mixed.
2) If you got it on a SR, how? Would pulling the APK from another device work?

I hated my skyrocket when I first got it because the battery sucked. Never could make it through a full day of average use. I did a search, found out how to root and install a custom rom and now I love it. I can go a full day and still have 20% left. All I can recommend is rooting and at least remove bloatware. I've never seen a single skyrocket user happy with their battery life on stock. Maybe sell or trade it for another iPhone.

ROM suggestion

My fiance has had her charge for a while now and she is starting to get fed up with the battery life and lag. We have gone as card as turning off the 4g but she is still unable to make it through the day on a cullen charge with very little use. What rom would be best for improved battery life while maintaining the look and feel of touchwiz?
Thanks
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App

I would say your best bet is eclipse or tweak stock. Not really touchwiz but very great roms.
Eclipse thread can be found here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449643
Tweakstock you'll see in development section.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I recommend using eclipse or tweakstock for a rom. But you may want to just try imnuts custom kernel first and under volt the cpu. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/137-01-30-12peanutbutta-jelly-time/ That would improve the battery. If you're still not satisfied then try a rom with the kernel.

If you phone is ROOTED. You can download "battery saver" by Antutu from the Market(free) and try out for 2 days. This may help you with your battery without too much hassle.

What!! I'm running it right now with Tweakstock and PBJ kernel and it really really save me battery big time. I have tried to under volt, and turning off 4G, lower screen settings etc.. not help. Max I can get is 6-9hrs. After installed this, I hit 15 hrs normal use and 20hrs light usage. It controlled the CPU frequency and put my phone in very deep sleep. If I just make 1hrs of total calls and 20-30 text I can hit 20hrs easily. If I used Facebook heavily (65% screen on, about 3hrs total), I get 6-8hrs. Something is funky with your setup. During testing I uninstalled and reinstalled this app couple times and never any issue. Do me a favor while you're back to fresh stock, rooted and pop it back on see if it's working. I'm happy to provide screen shots if you don't believe me.
BTW, I have wifi,4g,gps on 24/7. While I'm in my house it automatically used wifi and when I'm out on the road it switched to 4g automatically. The samsung factory feature is working fine too.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I might give tweak stock a try
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App

The last few ROMs I tried, Tweakstock, Infinity, Gummy...all were very laggy. Didn't seem to matter what I did or how I did it. Camera was always a crap shoot on whether it would freeze up or not. I finally said the hell with it and went back to stock and then just plain rooted it. So far so good. It sucks cause I hate TW and the look of stock...but at least the phone is responsive.

Try Eclipse
You should really give Eclipse ROM a try. It is extremely smooth and fast....very responsive and the devs and community over at the site are very helpful if you run into problems. Yesterday, with light use, my phone was at 60% (15h 11m 25s on battery) at the end of the day. Best battery life I have ever gotten out of my Charge yet. Give it a try....you will not be disappointed.

Sounds more like something with the way you are flashing and/or your data restore. I would suggest that if you ever flash anything again you start from a totally clean slate
Charged up post!

I did flash from a clean slate multiple times, first few days the new builds seemed OK. After awhile it just got worse and worse. I've been on the rooted stock build for over two weeks and it still is pretty good. I'm done tweaking this phone, I'll have an upgrade option in May and then I will probably get the Nexus or wait a bit if something else worthwhile is coming soon.

Your Preffered ROM? (Dec 2012)

(Nov 2012)
We have been very fortunate with a recent influx of ported ROMs and modified experiemental Kernels and want to gather people's opinions on what the best Daily Driver ROM/kernel combo is these days.
What says you!

Well when my DS died a month or so ago I was bouncing between CM 9.1 with the experimental kernel, paranoid android, and virtuous infinity (1.3.5 beta 1). Each had its own merits... cm9 is on there right now but the screen doesn't work lol.

I am a huge fan of MikTouch and always keep a android just in case. It is probably the most stable of any Rom available.
This week I finally tried the new AOKP from SilverL. I haven't tried an AOKP before. I love all the tweaks in Rom control. It will probably be my daily driver for awhile.
Just try a few and see what you like. Good luck.

CM 9.1. Running the R3 ROM with the R8 kernel and everything's working smooth.

I second npiper. I tried a couple of the ICS roms and enjoyed them, but after a week or two I couldn't deal with the little issues any longer and went back to the rom that hasn't let me down, MikTouch. I can't remember ever having an app fc on me with it.

MAN! That's like taking a police officer into a Dunkin Donuts and asking him to pick one favorite! :laugh:

I try all of the ROMs that come out. But I always end up back on the Miktouch 0.7 ROM because it is super stable and everything works without having to sacrifice virgins or do anything else extraordinary.

Lol.
Interesting, I never knew Miktouch was so preferred around here. I've always skipped over it because it was Sense and I've never been happy with stock sense. I'll maybe give it a shot this week. It's GB not ICS, right?
I'm also going to test out CM9.1 r8 and see how I fair with it compared to my (somewhat) trusty CM9 Alpha5
Paranoid Android is a very fun idea and I love having it as an option, but I'm not sure a screen our size really calls for it

I'm testing out the new CM9.1r8, as well. Miktouch is indeed GB. With it I'm regularly getting 30+ hours of use with my 1900mAh battery. I'm anxious to see what I get with the new CM9.1r8. I tested the earlier r5 build of CM9.1 and just wasn't totally happy with it so I went back to Miktouch. I love the look of the ICS/Sense4 and Sense 3.6 ROMS, but none of them have the stability and battery life I need, so I end up back at Miktouch.

30+ hours sounds fantastic, but for reference how long would you say you manage to get on a CM9 ROM?

Depends on usage really. I can get up to 40 hours out of one of my ankers with around 4 hours screen on time. Or I could get 9 hours battery life with the same usage, it just depends on how hard core you use your phone that day.

Yeah what he said. There are users that will claim to have amazing battery life and then post screen shots of Display only accounting for like 30% of the usage.. When that's the case then you know the thing isn't on that much because it really is display that uses the most juice if you're using your phone heavy.
That said, I've had the Mugen 3600 since the day it was released and I can always get through a whole day without any worry even if i'm talking for hours, playing games whatever surfing the net and checking XDA regularly etc.. Sometimes I put the smaller batteries back in because the phone looks sharp stock but then I find myself concerned about being near a charger and I hate that feeling. I just want to plug it in while I'm sleeping and use it at will the rest of the time and with the "big boy" I totally can.

Yea I get that, I meant to pose that question to him specifically to see how his battery life scales with the two different roms since the user is pretty much invariably the biggest drain on battery.

I just loaded this CM9.1r8 ROM yesterday, so don't have any complete sense of battery life, yet. Though so far it is looking very good. I get such battery life on my phone because when I am home it does sit with the screen off most of the time. At home it connects via Bluetooth to my Panasonic cordless phones and Wi-Fi to my home network. All the voice calls I make or receive go through those cordless phones to the cellphone (my MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or other mobile). I do some texting on the phone, and of course when I go out of the apartment it isn't connected to Bluetooth. When I'm out I will use maps sometimes, apps like Friendstream and Foursquare. Oh, and when out I am almost always listening to music either stored on my SD card or streaming from Google Music or the FM radio. So, not a "hardcore" user, I guess, but I do what I need. Miktouch recently got me over 2 days of use on a single charge, but more typical is about 28-30 hours. The new CM9.1r8 is looking to behave similarly so far.

I got this build before it was posted from the dev, so I have a bit more experience on the battery. I ran it for 24 hours straight without recharging, got in 2.5 hours of web browsing, another hour of wifi calling in, and the batter was at 15% when I woke up this morning (Anker 1900 mAh). Everything I've tested has worked fine. The one gotcha on the battery may be if you boot into it initially--I noticed that on the first reboot, it wasn't going into deep sleep, but after I rebooted a second time, it was clean. It may require a full battery pull for the hardware to completely reset or something. Otherwise, things are great!

CM9.1 r7 kernel and ROM. Flashing to r8 soon. My only gripe with this ROM is the camera is a little lacking, but I'd take stock AOSP over the sense camera any day. If I were to use GB though, I'd go with one of Undead9k's "senseless" ROMs.

Well this might seem obvious to most in this community, but since I spent as long as I did not updating maybe there are others out there as well...
I have found no reason to *not* update from cm9 to cm9.1 r8.
Does anyone have any opinions of our new AOKP vs CM9.1 roms?

Actually I'm using CM9.1r8 ROM, too. Although it's still soon to throw a veredict, by the moment I'm getting great battery life, and it works perfect and smooth.
The only feature I still miss is the alt/caps led/status bar indicator ;(

With CM10 still in alpha, CM9 with R9 kernels, and AOKP, PACman, Paranoid Android and MIUI all updating what's your new preffered daily driver ROM?
I'll be testing CM10 tonight since my CM9 flash has recently started having problems connecting to the network for a short time every other week.

Which rom is best for battery life?

I recently purchased this phone, and have been appalled by the battery life, it's atrocious. I also seem to have a bug with Maps that keeps draining me, even though I don't use any location services, etc. So now, I'm going to install a new rom, and see if my battery improves significantly. My question is, which rom is the best with battery life? There is no point in having this fancy phone if you can't use it because the battery is dead before you even get out of work and it's just been sitting in your pocket -_-, this is what happened to me.
Right now I'm downloading CleanROM 6r2, latest build. I do intend on flashing it later tonight and testing how the battery level is, and if it still declares I'm roaming when I'm obviously not.
Right now I'm stock, rooted and bootloader unlocked I have no put any roms on the phone as of yet, but battery is terrible regardless. My brother has the same phone, same carrier and same battery issues albeit, not nearly as detrimental as mine.
Thanks in advance. If CleanROM is the best with battery life thus far that would be great. I'd like to try 4.2.2, but hear it's got terrible battery life?

Sorry to be the first to say that "what's the best Rom" is frowned on around here
You really need to find out what works best on your phone through reading and testing.
However just to point you in the right direction. clean Rom has never let me down and synergy can sleep like a baby
Finally I'd think it is safe to say aosp Roms will never compare to battery on tw
They can still be very good but for your purpose you may have better luck else where.
God bless the American people

95% battery life is controlled by the Kernel, not the rom. The other small 5% can contribute to battery such as odex vs deodex, quick boot up. Also, I'm not going to bring in user settings control such as screen brightness, apps sync intervals etc.. I'm talking about if we have 2 devices with the exact same setup, the kernel is where it makes a diff in battery saving.

This ^^. I thought about it, but its just too big and intrusive.
Besides, my phone shouldn't die idle in my pocket. My brothers AT&T S3 stayed on for 3 days without usage, mine died in under 8 hours.
Anyway, I do understand that "what is the best" is frowned upon. I've been around a little while, I'm just not very active. I really wanted more of a general answer regarding user feedback with certain roms, or experiences maybe.
Also, regarding the kernel that is news to me, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I guess I can redirect my search to a kernel.
I do want to report though that my battery life has improved significantly I think than what it was before. Granted the rom was just installed today and has already died, I used it very heavily today though as opposed to the very minimal usage that killed it previously. I wont for certain until I get back to school and have it idle around for a while.
I'll check out Synergy if I'm not impressed, although CleanROM right now has fixed the MAPS issue I was experiencing. It no longer shows it as something that's killing my battery and I left all the settings the same as they were. So that tells me it was an obvious bug in my software specifically or something of that nature. So far so good.
P.S., did you personally have better life with Synergy over CleanRom?
Btw, I have always maintained a modest setup on my phone that should improve battery life. Low screen brightness, no WIFI unless I need it, no mobile data unless I want it or need it. I never checked on sync intervals though, I'll have to do that.^_^

It all depends on the kernel and its setting. My experience so far is that I overall get good battery life with LeanKernel, GalaxyKOR, KT kernel regardless what ROM I use. I also use DS Battery Saver in Slumberer mode. At one point after fully charging my phone I left the screen off for 8 hours woke up it went from 100 % to 97%.

I'll check out DS battery and some of those kernels. What is your primary ROM? I'm digging CleanRom right now.

Went ahead and flashed lean kernel v 1.10 now my phone wont boot up. I get 2 Samsung Galaxy logo's then it turns back off. ?
In the process of restoring a backup I made. Is there something wrong with the way I approached things? I simply put the zip on my sd card, and flashed it in CWM

So my backup saved me. After that I went through file directory for leankernel and seen nothing about 1.10 haha, so I guess I downloaded something wrong. Now I'm going to try flashing 2.1 will report.
Edit: So, I did flash the wrong kernel on accident. New 2.1 kernel worked for me this time.

Leankernel has an TW and AOSP version. Good thing you did a backup.

Download Better Battery Stats to better track down your wakelocks. Besides that I don't really think there is anything that can be significantly improved going from ROM to ROM. 4.2.2 ROMs are starting to rival TW in terms of battery life. The biggest battery killer is low signal. If you are in a building or on the edge of a service area having your phone constantly switching towers or going from 3g/4g really eats up the battery.

There are Touchwiz and AOSP versions of Lean Kernel. Look in the original development section and flash the appropriate one for your ROM.

I purchased the 7000mah battery and lost my data connection when I was away from my house. I asked around and it's a known bug, but a lot of people don't care because the battery lasts so long. I have the 4200 hyperion and 4400 Anker and love the Anker... as a back cover, I use Seidio's cover because the ones that come with Anker and Hyperion are crap.
On my phone, I have used almost all the TW and AOSP ROMs.... For me, CleanRom gets the best battery. I am not into messing with my performance settings, I don't find it helps all that much and causes more problems than it's worth. With the Anker battery, I go through about 35% battery per day... if I let my phone get down to 5% battery life left, I usually have somewhere around 6 hours of screen time. For me, that's plenty.

Battery life with Liquidsmooth 2.3 Official...

So lately I've been working late and I am allowed to use my phone to listen to music at work. On days that I work late, I am forced to bring my phone charger to work because it doesn't last me all day, not even close. According to my battery page in settings, I've had a screen time of only 40 minutes today, and listened to roughly only 20 minutes of music with a few short texts sent here and there and I'm already down to 74% battery life. I am running the most recent official Liquidsmooth (2.3 release) and have my brightness turned way down, and the CPU turned down to a max of 1124Mhz. I am also running the kernel that comes with the ROM, which I'm almost positive is LeanKernel.
Is it normal to be draining my battery this fast with not even an hour of screen time and barely using it? I even turn off data usage when I don't use my phone because I'm concerned about battery life. Is there anything I can do to improve battery life? I don't even touch the Voltage Settings and Advanced Settings under the Performance section, because I don't want to touch anything I don't know what to do or what settings make the ROM unstable. Anyone who can suggest good settings for more stable battery life, even if it sacrifices performance would be a huge help too! Thank you in advanced

Hear hear. Great rom but something is burning my battery in this rom.

I agree! I love it, I've tried so many ones and this is the only one I've been completely satisfied with basically every aspect! Except the only thing I can complain about is the battery life. Anyone have any suggestions?! I'm already down to 55% battery now

Same here. I'm only getting about 10-12 hours of battery life. Read some suggestion about using the KT747 kernel but not sure which download to use. Touchwiz 4.1.2, AOSP Jellybean 4.2 Linux 3.0, AOSP Jellybean 4.2 Linux 3.2?

The correct kernel is the AOSP 3.4 Linux version. That being said I just flashed that kernel with 2.2 last night and it seized up my phone. Nandroid now. So that was a bad night.

Thanks! I downloaded and flashed it. No problems here. Just need to find the correct tweaks for better battery life.

Let me know what you find. I'm still on the stock lean kernel for LS

I'm curious as well what these battery tweaks are. I installed liquidsmooth 2.4 over the weekend and have since moved back to my rooted stock primarily because of battery drain. I really like the aosp interface but can't afford to have it rape my battery. I was getting like 6 Hrs only on a charge. With my stock rooted rom I get about 19 Hrs on a full charge.

I am using liquidsmooth 2.4 and have been going for 17hrs today still got 20% left. I have the lean kernel that it flashes with and never had battery issues.

Wow that's impressive. Did you do a clean install of the rom or did you do a upgrade from a previous version? Did you have do any post install tweaks other than the usual (settting screen brightness to low and etc)?

Clean install of the rom. I actually came from hyper drive. No other tweaks done. I leave anything off that I am not using. Don't leave nfc or bluetooth on. Don't use sync for very much.

Today I took it off charge at 6 and I have used 92 minutes of talk time, 50 texts(kinda low), xda, email, Internet, YouTube, and some other forums and I still have 42 percent. Other than text messages I would say I have used the phone moderate to heavy.
