Hi, All with my brand new, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and new kernel, HTC ONE S CS (S3) I've noticed poor battery performance.
So is there any app that could help? Of course they are many, but actually is one of them work good on HTC ONE S? Thanks.
There isn't really an app that can save you battery. It depends on what ROM your on. You should around and see which works best

I'm using battery guru. Just started using it so I'm not really sure how well its working. I have found that the kernel can really affect battery life, try flashing to another kernel and give it a couple of days to see if its better.

Kernel is the main contributor to battery life as it is mainly what controls everything behind behind the scenes

flashed yesterday. did a calibration as well. battery life is awful. Any advice? Thanks
Let it sit for a couple hours extra after the calibration maybe. I always have great battery life on miui, just like on cm7 roms

You'd probably get more responses if you asked this on the ROMs thread.
But try a new kernel, if that doesn't work then maybe a different ROM.

I noticed that Android system, camera, internet, dialer are always using my sensors, is this normal? I barely used my camera, internet, and dialer today. Im getting about 14 hours out of my extended battery with light use. I used to get better battery life but i dont know whats going on now. I restored a back up of the same rom i was using and battery life isnt as good as before. When you open your battery history app, are your sensors being used as much as mine?
thanks for any input

You haven't provided any details of your setup.
I know when I was on a GB ROM (CM7a10) it had weird sensor usage and not all that good a bettery life (only have the stock non-XE battery). I'm now on an ICS Rom (VI) and TBH the battery life has been transformed ;-)
Being a new user of android and the HTC one s. I'm not really sure what uses all the juice and what doesn't. Is there anyone that can write up a brief guide to give beginners a guide on getting the best battery life.
Thanks

The guide is simple. Turn down brightness all the way, turn off data if not using it (or use 2G-only), limit the number of background apps running, use a custom kernel if possible and underclock the CPU speed below 1.5 GHz.
Use apps with dark preferably black backgrounds, AMOLEDS doesn't use any power when displaying black unlike LCDs with backlights. Set black background image, use inverted mode in browser etc. Surf old school porn- and warez sites instead of Wikipedia to profit from black backgrounds Use Wi-Fi for large downloads since a quick download using wifi will save power compared to longer times using cellular data. But by far most important is use display as little as possible and at low brightness displaying dark colors.
Turning sync off helps a lot. If you don't plan on using GPS frequently, turn that off as well. Same with Bluetooth.
Thanks guys ill check out all that info

How do I underclock the CPU. I'm using the mjd kernel I think it is
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
mdj? There might be info on this where you got the kernel. If it was included in a custom rom then there might be some sort of control app included as well, in CM9 its just part of settings. I think ppl use an app called setcpu as well sometimes, 2 USD on market.
Mdj kernal is what I have installed. So will have to try as I'm.getting horrendous battery life

Please post all questions in the Q&A section

on 3g with data enabled i lose about 10% battery a hour.
Hi guys what settings should I use when installing viperS Rom in order to avoid lags and battery quick drainage. Please I need help I have installed this Rom twice now and I experience lag and my battery drains quick.
The best solution for me was flashing Faux123 Kernel
I flashed sebastian kernel with the mod. So far it seems to help.
I asked this same question on viper site and this was many people's suggestion. Look on viper site a few pages back and the links are posted for the kernel. Then look for the mod in android themes and apps. I've had pretty decent battery so far.. best wishes

I forgot to say in tweaks in advanced settings, disable log cat for better battery life. You won't have logging, but most of us don't use the logging anyway.if you have problems and need logging just turn back on. But I keep mine off to save battery.

I have been searching around and can't seem to find a kernal setting to change my mhz. Are people using a specific apk installed with the rom to kermod after a flash to adjust mhz and ondemand and badass for instance?
Thanks guys I just reflashed the Rom now choosed lag free and is working like charm. So am going to disable ligcat now. Reporting later.

I'm currently running Clean ROM 4.5 and only get about 14 hours per a full charge. Please share your thoughts!
King cobra seems to give me the best battery life followed by Nocternals ROM. Both are very close to each other from what I can tell.
I used to get good battery life with Wild Child's WCX Illuminati ROMs but he closed his site to non-americans so I don't know how his ROMs are doing.

Imho its based on how the phone is used each phone looks the same but in side they barely slightly different

King cobra gives me the best battery life but I won't get any more than 12 hours when I use it a fair bit.

I've relatively new to this, bit I've seen people get upwards to 24 hours and am wondering how they pulled it off. I get a max of 14 hours with this one X.
I got 1 day and 17 hours with auto brightness and auto sync on. I used the 6.4.AOKP ICS Rom. Oh and some pretty good screen on time.

AOSP roms get the best battery life in my opinion.
Actually Xs. I have gotten better battery life with your ROMs compared to either Cm10 and Aokp. Now that we have the source for 4.0.4 and if they get those wake locks fixed that might change but I think your ROMs are a little easier on the battery currently.

I just started running cm10 today but I'm not sure yet, in the past aosp has always been my choice but sense 4.1 has really improved

It is quite possible that your "rapid" battery drain is caused by one of the apps you have installed, as opposed to the ROM you are using. I'd highly recommend installing an app like Better Battery Stats and use those numbers to find the worst offenders.

Its wake locks from the aosp ROMs themselves. Its a known issue and I am sure it will be worked out. They are only in the beta stages so its not a surprise.

I've been getting "decent" battery life on the stock rom. At night I use an app called ScreenDim set at 29.8% brightness, the rest of the time I use auto-brightness.
Hmm I'm currently at 43% and battery stats show 20 hrs use.
For battery life nothing beats King Cobra.
Watch the dev thread today, Turge has a little something special today. And man it's going to be popular.

Is this even possible? I've seen pictures of 24 hours or so, and that's at what I'm aiming for. Would you happen to have a link for a ROM that provides this type of battery life? Is 3 days not even real?
