can anyone tell me how to save the battery life of our pico on cm10.2 roms?
Its a fact that battery life is somewhat user variable.. depends upon your usage and how you have managed your settings. I suggest you read the reviews of the ROMs in the thread of the ROM which you want to try out. Reducing screen brightness.. regularly toggling mobile data and wifi , underclocking your kernel are some ways of increasing battery life.. On an average I used to get about 4 - 4.5 hours of screen on time .
Hope that helps you.
Cheers,

Always calibrate the battery after flashing a new ROM with "BatteryCalibration" ( author - NEMA)

I'm experiencing a HUGE battery drain when i'm over 3G Network.
I'm using inDroid v6 Rom + G3 Kernel Ultimate (Not overclocking all the time ofc,i'm using "on Demand" ).
Any idea of whats happening ?
Would a Factory Reset Solve it ?
I've tried Battery Calibration app,twice,and still getting drained.
Maybe,chaning the kernel should help ?
I just dont know, waiting for a Light !
Many Thanks in advance
I'm getting 1.75 days on a single charge . No 3g usage but wifi with moderate gaming and calls and stuff.
Havent changed the fugumod kernel that came with i6.
better replace g3mod by fugumod from OTA. I hope it'll solve ur prob.
I'm not an expert , just based on my experience

My battery only gets drained once i'm using 3G.
Overall lifetime is preety decent considering gamming + heavy usage.
I recalibrated the battery (for the third time),and so far,it is working.
Lets hope / wait !
Thanks anyways : )

whether battery calibration has to be done with 100% charge or not?? and after calibration what does it mean by full cycle? discharging it until it switches off??
Same here :-(

Try another kernel
I use g3mod v2.0 (waiting for 2.1 final version), but you can try Fugumod, and see whats bets for you

First charge phone fully to 100% Leave it for maybe an hour extra because the phone shows 100% when it's actually maybe 95% ish. Then calibrate the battery and fully drain the battery until phone dies. Then fully charge. Then fully drain. Do this at least 3-4 times and your battery should last a little longer.
by now I've seen quite a lot of reports about heavy drain in 3G.
not sure if this is entirely exclusive to g3mod but might be.
I myself am tinkering much with my device right now to know what causes what.
Can anyone tell whether 3g drain is also a problem in fugumod?
Perhaps some kind of bad setting that causes excessive polling?

There is no such problem in fugumod from what i have seen. Also tinkering with your device without having a lot of knowledge about how it works could cause problems. I should know

I know just about enough to keep it running, toy around the Linux level with busybox, change mount options, locations and the likes while also frequently changing the kernel to g3mod's latest.
It's really hard to know whether you get a comparable objective reading of the battery capacity, even after recalibrating.
Sometimes when I'm outside my battery drops relatively quickly but then back home it remains at the same percentage for hours. So I guess the quick drop was a false reading.
It might also be temperature related. Or about local 3G infrastructure. Or something to do with your custom ROM and installed apps.
That's not to say that the 3G suspicion is invalid though.
But do fugumod / g3mod even address the 3G module with different drivers?

G3MOD is HEAVILY modded so i think they will have messed around with the 3G module. Fugumod is a little lest intense so i don't think as much development has been done to it. Just the basics which is why i love it.
battery drain is dependent on rom too.some heavily baked roms will give less battery life
I've been running MIUI for a couple of weeks now and I am seeing server battery drain for no reason. I see people posting 12 - 24 hours but I can barely get through 6 -8 hours without seeing a drastic death in battery life.
Also and I'm not sure if this may matter or not but when charging with the phone off my battery tends to charge incredibly fast.
Not sure what the issue is.
Try a different kernel that's my opinion
Kernel right now is 2.6.35.130 Trinity. Can you recommend another
.13 kernel is old in a way try to flash either fauxs or Showp kernel make sure there the cm7/aosp
I am on the latest miui 1.12.23. i have exellent battery life with there kernel. they have updated the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295200&page=598 scroll down and dowload from pimp and be sure to clear cache and dalvik. and to help battery life install system tuner or setcpu from the market. i use system tuner. i think it works better than setcpu. Also download a battery calibration from the market. helped me alot on battery. hope this helps.

Stupid question but have you cleared your battery stats file? While I was on MIUI (11.11) I was getting up to 24hrs easily (2450mAh battery) with normal usage

Hi, noob here.
I'm in fact happy to upgrade from my horrible and outdated firmware (2.2) of my LG p500 to Cyanogenmod 10. there is only one (major) problem: my battery life fell to roughly 12 hours even when the screen is mostly off and the battery statistics tells me that it is mostly drained by the screen (50-70%, which does not make sense). I tried installing Easy Battery Saver only to see that it gives me the same stats and does nothing I can't do via the settings.
I don't want to disable wi-fi or mobile networks when the phone is sleeping, I need them. I don't want to deep sleep it. I just want to know what causes this sharp fall in battery life.
Is it because of the updated OS, kernel, whatever? Is it another service that I didn't have in the old firmware? Or is it just my battery being worn out when I was struggling with it trying to install a custom rom for the first time?
Thanks in advance for all the replies.
Think its the kernel, try reflashing it

Go to Settings > Battery, and it tells you what's consuming most of your battery.
If the battery usage doesn't seem to reflect your actual usage pattern, you can try re-flashing.

thanks for the replies. by re-flashing, do you mean I have to flash the rom all over again or just the kernel? and how can I do it?
Make sure that your phone is able to go into deep sleep. If not, your battery will be drained as well.

i have samsung 9001 and it was stock GB rom. after installing JB on it my battery time was reduced by around 10-20%. i think ICS and JB need little more battery than GB. or am i wrong?
Hi everyone.
Please tell me, which ROM here has the lowest battery consumption.
And please advice how long can U use the phone without charging approx. with factory battery.
Moreover, please tell me, if it's possible to flash one ROM and istall the kernel from another ROM.

Battery life isn't so much dependent on the rom, as it is on how you use it.
If you have GPS, wifi, and data running all at the same time, expect your battery life to be short.
Your usage will vary depending on your setup, but expect about 16 hours off a charge with the standard battery. This can vary dramatically depending on how you use the phone.
Yes, you can flash other kernels onto different roms, as long as they are compatible. i.e. don't flash sense kernels onto AOSP roms.
My advice is to do some homework and a little more research. A lot of your questions are quite general, and can be answered with a simple poking around.

Try ParanoidAndroid 2.99, I go a full day with normal usage (Wi-Fi on, data on, sync on, talking and texting) on the original, never replaced battery. Mik did well on battery life, too. While I loved CM10, it killed my battery in 6 hours with no usage.

I am using the PACMan ROM (so it is CM10) and I get through the day, about 20h and with w-lan on (not always but most of the time) mobile data only when I'm not at home and need something, texting around 30-60 messages...depends
Also I use the kernel from CM9.1...improved the batterylife quite a bit

Hey im looking for a rom that is great on battery. I just got up an hour ago and my battery is already at 90%. I feel like its going down too fast. Im using Purity rom with greenify.
Hi,
Better is to try by yourself, battery life is mainly based on your own settings and usage. If you have some rogue apps, bad network reception and your brightness at 100% (it's an example but I think you see what I mean).... Whatever the rom it will be the same thing.
1 hour... 90%... all depends of what kind of wackelocks you have, synchro, etc...
There is a ton of thread about battery life, take a look in them for help.
And: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477889.
And also purity is awesome on battery life when I was using it... There are way too many factors to consider when talking battery life.

Stock Rom works very well. But it really does depend on the processes you run and the apps you install. Thus "best" becomes a relative term. If you have very bad network reception I'd recommend installing a kernel like Franco kernel. It stopped draining my battery even in areas of bad reception.
As it has been mentioned, battery life depends just as much on you and your usage / location / etc / etc.
Something tells me though that the roms that have in their title: Battery Saver Script might be something that focuses on what you are looking for. Just a shot in the dark...

One of those was literally on the front page of roms listed in Development.
I use omni rom with franco kernel r31 and I get 3 hours screen time with about 13 hours battery life most days. I use the internet a lot and text all day.
There are too many factors that affect battery life but also these threads are not allowed on XDA, as pointed out above. Try some out yourself and see which best suits your needs.
