What's the battery life of supercharged compared to the stock rom? I looked through all the pages but there was no clear answer. Would be nice if everyone who has the supercharged rom could share their battery life experience.
I want to do the supercharged thing but I don't want to do it if the battery life decreases compared to the stock rom. Currently running rooted stock.
Thanks in advance.
I have supercharged v4 and the battery life isn't terrible. But mine is overclocked to 1222.if I use it all day and quite a bit.lol. i have about 25% at the end of the day.

Oh ok thanks for the feedback, but how does it compare to when you had the stock rom? Does it last about the same amount?
Actually. I think the stock battery lasts a little longer but its not really noticeable. Supercharged rom is better i think. Its snappier! Cant wait for v5!
Personally I have actually been getting better life with the Supercharged ROM. I use my phone modertly during the day. It's been almost 16 hours and at 62%!!
How can this ROM be installed when boot loader is locked and there is no unlock method yet?

I get close to stock battery life with SC4. My biggest killer is the screen, which I keep on auto brightness...if I turn down the brightness, I can get some SICK battery life from this thing...but I have chargers everywhere so I prefer to let the phone manage the screen. Loving my phone right now!!!
really? Well idk then. im literally on it all day in hopes there is something new to flash! haha

Wow really? So the SC4 Rom at the lowest brightness would give awesome battery life? Better than stock at lowest? Because i have my stock rooted phone at the lowest brightness + 2g most of the time + Data connection off when not needed + JuiceDefender Ultimate to get the most out of my battery.

No, I have not been able to fully match the battery life of the stock ROM, mainly because SC4 is overclocked to 1122mhz. I am sure that I can throttle it down to 1000mhz and maybe get the same battery life, but whats the fun in that. I am enjoying the small boost in performance at the expense of a slight amount of battery life...not a big deal at all. Cannot wait till we get some custom kernels that are optimize.
I feel like I get better battery life with my A2 than I did with my A1...hard to tell since I didn't have both at the same time. My friends with other Android devices are always looking for a charger, while I always have plenty of juice.
The battery life is okay... I'd say that its about 10% worse. every hour or so of inactivity drains the battery by about 5-7% as opposed to stock which would be about 4-5%. If your really concerned about the battery though, you can get an extended battery for $25.

I've noticed a slight drop in battery life but I'm more than happy with it seeing how it's so much quicker

Just curious is it just me or does the Skyrocket have ****tier battery life running on ICS compared to it running on Gingerbread? Anyone else having battery problems. I've been running ICS on my I727r for 2 days now and the battery life is very questionable. Probably a battery stat reset will work :S

I've found my battery life better. I haven't put down my phone since, and the battery life is on par with GB with my phone in deep sleep in my pocket. Lol
I did do a battery stat wipe and drained it and recharged it to full.

Yeah, my battery went out pretty damn quick yesterday, but that could be because I've been fussing with my phone more than normal.
The first day of using ics my battery life was okay. The second day my battery life sucked. Why? Because I set up Facebook. Battery manager showed 10% use and I hadn't even checked it. Its the bloat!

Same, my i727r battery life is horrible since i flashed ICS.
I have noticed that my android system is pulling a lot of juice compared to GB. I made some changes today like freeze all the bloat + installed UCLC4 modem. And wiped battery stats + complete drain and discharge of the battery. Lets see if it get better after a few cycles.
My battery seems a lot better! Way way way better. 25 minutes of web and its still full!

Battery has been much better for me with ICS.
Freezing tons of bloat helps..
My battery life has been horrible on ICS but when I look at the battery thing, Face Unlock used 35% of my batter (when my batter was 5% left) o-o it takes THAT much?
My battery life is absolutely amazing with ICS.
I have the stock rom debloated completely, and a lot of junk is disabled. Coupled with turning off auto brightness and leaving data off when i don't use it, the battery just chugs along.
This morning I got in my car at 7 AM, started playing music full blast through the stereo for an hour. Got to class, played some temple run, approximately a half hour worth. 30 texts or so, one 1 minute phone call. (data was off the entire time, it keeps facebook from butting in from behind) My battery has literally only gone down 10%, and it's 1 PM
I'm in love.
Seems fine here, I usually have it plugged in but today am testing it without. The couple charge blips are from when I had to get some files off of it.
I froze a bunch of the AT&T bloatware, have had Wi-fi, BT, GPS enabled the entire time. Moderate/light use... I've attached some screens.
I'm running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567817 with the flashable ICS modem.
My battery has been horrible but it's only been a day for me and my signal has been fluctuating a lot on day one. It's stabilized now so we'll see after a few days of use. But right now it is horrible.
It seems mine is doing worse.
But I have been adding a lot of stuff since this is my first time rooting.
I am about to get a battery depleted(at 12% right now) and reset the battery statistics and install the OEM battery.

I thought there was a lot of debating over deleting the battery stats, i remember an article from a google programmer saying that it actually decreases battery performance...i personally stopped doing it a year ago and noticed a better batter experience, most of the time bad battery comes from a bad flash or apps that run in the backround and use location services
My battery life was horrible with ICS so im back to GB. At work with phone in pocket for 2hrs and was already down to 75% off killing battery and charging it fully next day. When I got home after 8hrs of work already at 50% and thats when its in sleep mode. Using it I would drain 1% every couple minutes definitly bloat. Might try new debloated ones but kinda skeptical since GB gives me amazing battery life.
Once the kernel source drops custom kernels will make all you guys stop crying your all used to optimized stuff not samsucks stuff lol give it time

Well condiering I have never reset them and did this first and only flash of the ICS leak, I'm hoping it helps out. We'll see what happens.
I have Juicedefender turning everything off while sleeping(set widgetlocker to deinied so when locked, widget locker stays active to be ready, and juicedefender see's that and turns off data)
On my 2100mAh nexus battery I barely got over a day(was getting 36-40 hours on GB)
Either way, I have two batteries so I'll deal with it until either an official ICS release or a new rom with better battery performance comes around.
I also have the nexus battery. Def have less battery life with this version of ics .
It could be the algorithm the use. At the start of the day is slowly draws down. As the day goes on it seems to drain faster

Actually, I have been having the Best battery life to date. I will post my list of APK's that I removed. I don't do FB or anything like that, so not sure if that is affecting it. Also, in a non LTE area. on the UCLA3 kernel, I was absolutely getting horrid battery life.
I live in an LTE area and I am getting almost a full day of use. Never got that with GB. I keep wanting to charge it, but I dont have to.
I do have Juice Defender running though, and it disables my data in 15 or 30 min intervals when the screen is locked. And I have SetCPU which limits the CPU to a max of 384 when the screen is locked.

Couple questions;
Does rooting your phone = more drain on the batte? Seems like I got better battery life when it was bone stock.
Does themeing help with draining the battery?
Sorry if these are stupid questions but it seems like I had better battery life out the box on my phone. I'm running SYnergy r60 and it's themed with Eye Candy. I have been checking the things running in the background and it's doesn't seen like anything more is running then in stock. I have WiFi turned on at and work and get pretty good service in the building. But again it still seemed better stock.

If you concerned about battery life then you should try "Clean Rom & Clean kernel". They based on stock rom and provide good performance and very good on battery life.
Different roms will have different effects on battery.
I am stock, stock recovery, bootloader still locked - but rooted.
As far as rooting alone, i'm seeing no difference in battery life.
Once you go flashing things, it's a whole new ballgame.
The problem with flashing roms/kernels is that you are continuously doing it. So every couple days you flash a new rom, or kernel, or new mod. So your phone never really has time to collaborate and settle in. Technically you're suppose to give a kernel and rom a couple days before judging battery. But we rarely do that. Plus files can get left behind from previous dirty flashes that can affect battery life. There's just a lot more ways that battery life can take a hit when flashing roms/kernels, but it can also get you significantly better battery life.

Rooting itself makes no difference. Certain services and programs that require root could drain more battery but that is obviously optional.

It could hurt or help it but only to a small degree. Black uses the least power to display and white uses the most. Overall, it isn't something to stress over too much.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think it would be a huge drain but wasn't sure.
Not sure if it's coincidence, but I reflashed r60 but didn't reflash Eye Candy and it seems the battery is doing much better.
Hi everyone, might of had this before but everyones seems to be a little different
I have the Galaxy i5800, (Galaxy 3/Apollo) and it was always fantastic, battery life, lag-free for the whole year i've had it.
I am running the Kyrillos' rom v10.6 which is CM7.2 based.
Since a few weeks ago, the battery has just been draining, like a hour of battery life even just in sleep mode, i have wiped Battery Stats, Cache (partition and the dalvik one), Factory Reset, pretty much everything in recovery mode. charged battery for 6-9 hours overnight from 0%. no difference, will still just drain drain drain.
Also, if you use the phone for a good 5 - 10 minutes doing for instance browsing the internet (Opera Mini) the phone will just turn off instantly (possible overheating CPU?)
I am not using GPS Wi-Fi, sometimes not even data network (3G). i don't understand how the battery is draining so fast, i have tried stock
2.1 and 2.2 roms and the same thing happened with those.
is it a problem with the phone (CPU or whatever) or the actual battery?
Sorry for the ramble but just wondered if the good lads on XDA could help! Thanks.
I too had the same issue,its due to your battery perhaps I changed my battery and now battery life is great(by great I mean 3 days approx)

i using CM7.2...this error: (
i've just bought a new charger and battery, the charger has already come, and for some reason battery has already increased haha!
got them both for under ten pounds altogether from amazon, really pleased with that
also flashed the phone back to stock 2.2 JPU firmware! can't complain really, might root it at some point but not too sure as i'm getting a nexus 4 when come back in stock!!
i will just use this phone as a backup phone or phone for download festival !
That may be a problem of battery as I changed by battery to a new one then it works awsm.....
From my awsm Galaxy 3.....
sounds like a problem with the battery.
it happened to me because of overflashing during development work.
replacing battery worked awesome!!
the battery is pulling out 1.5 to 2 days with wifi on half of the time
Hello,
I have owned a note 2 and 3 and quite a few Android phones before that. I know how to disable features running in the background to get good battery life out of them. My notes had amazing battery life.
I have applied the same settings to my note sm n915fy and the battery is pretty poor. As soon as I take it off charge it immediately drops to 99% then down to about 70 in 5 hours while I'm asleep. I have brightness to 25% with sync disabled, a jet black background and all Samsung features switched off. Saying that I still seem to get a lot if push notifications in the Background.
I bought this phone from someone and never doe a reset when I got it, I just made a google account up.
I have not rooted yet, I am waiting for more roms to appear before I consider this.
I would appreciate so etc help on this please.
Cheers.
I found 2 issues that were killing my battery: s-health and the unified daemon. I think UD is used to track location for the weather display on the edge screen. Anyway, disabling both of them gave me good battery life. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply.
I done a factory restore which seems to have helped a bit. I will try disabling UD to see if it helps more.
Cheers.
how is the battery life now?
are you on kitkat or jellybean?
my battery life became awful since the kitkat upgrade. what I did was to downgrade back to jellybean. now battery life is a little better. because it doesn't drain a lot when idle. but it's unstable and the percentage is not steady. sometimes it drains fast and sometimes not. crazy phone. I never regretted buying it before this power game

What????
You must be in the wrong device section. You have the Note 3 seeing from your XDA signature.
Our Note Edge came default with KitKat 4.4.4
you are right. I just noticed that.

Note edge battery issues
I can say without any hesitation both the note 4 and note 4 edge the battery sucks compared to the note 3, I am not usually a fan of apps that are supposed to help, But try Shutapp it really does help a lot.
