[Battery] Recommend widgets/apps/roms/packs/anything what could improve O3D's battery
- I found some apps what helps, similar to task killers, but they seems to be abit 'better' in some way, not sure if task killers are actually good, but I will give it a shot for a day or two to see some improvement.
- What about these performance packs, are they really improving performance, if there is such pack out, is it possible to change it to battery saving pack which will lower your performance in exchange for battery life and how long will it last longer if will made such pack?
- Custom ROMs, can they actually increase battery life without killing performance or maybe boosting performance AND battery life? and is there any good ROM out yet for LG Optimus 3D?
- Is it possible to use LG Optimus 2X rom's for LG Optimus 3D?
* TESTING:
- Battery doctor, it's task killer + battery monitor + log/graph for charging etc etc, will try it out and will see how good will it improve battery.

Software can have a great impact on battery life and custom ROMs can help without losing and sometimes even gaining preformance.
There are NO custom ROMs out for O3D, the phone is just a few weeks old, ROMs takes time, O3D will probably take even more time than usually since the 3D is new to the platform and to the once creating alternatives.
However there are things happening on the ROM side but don't ask for a ETA etc since there is no way of telling and people do it on their free time.

Nice to hear that, about performance improvement regarding to losing it.
What about other similar phone ROMs, like Optimus 2X, possible to import that in O3D just to add this 3D space seperate or maybe just make Sense 3.0 with 3D space. I'v heard Optimus 2X is same as Optimus 3D, it's just some features are in 3D, but rest seems to be same as in 2X?

Can someone please post some example of real world use versus battery life, so the people can get a feel how much the battery lasts on average.
Thinking of getting myself a O3D but i am concerned about battery life.

You won't get 24 hours out of the battery I charge mine in the morning so its full at 9 ish and by maybe 9pm it can be around 30% or less but that is best case scenario.
I think if you don't have a car or a way of charging this phone a spare battery is needed to guarantee a full day.
Would be interesting to find out if the 1900mah battery's I seen on ebay make any difference.

I'm trying juice defender right now...

No the 2X or any other phone doesn't have the same hardware, the chipset in O3D is completely new (to the smart-phone scene), some things might work but something that saves battery on the 2X might actually do the opposite to the O3D, but have no fear, in general all Android phones get better at battery handling and performance as new ROMs are released both Official and Custom, also Android itself is getting better and since this is a dual-core phone 2.4 that is said to optimize for dual-core will feel a big gain hopefully

Juice Defender and other battery logs and optimizers made it worse for me. I leave gps and wifi deactivated until i need it,screen brightness on auto. I keep mine loading over night. I leave home at 7am and am back at 6pm with 40-60% left on my battery.moderate use,some calls music email surfing. Im really happy so far!

Just need to be patient. Afterall it is a very new phone.
I am getting the 1800 battery myself. it'll give more juice to the phone. Also if no task killer is used, you will experience a much faster drain in battery. There are tons of apps opened by default. So a task killer with careful plan will gain quite a lot in power saving.

havn't seen alot improvement from battery doctor, but atm waiting on new battery to arrive, will see how long will it take on new battery and is it gona be better then stock one.
also now using juicedefender with aggresive profile, will se how will it boost my battery life

Search for the best battery saving OS

Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!

I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad

I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?

i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.

androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same

IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2

There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.

MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.

Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.

Battery life one Sense vs CM

which one has better battery life?

Personally I'd say CM has slightly better battery life. My sense experience is only from stock JB rom, so can't really say about sense based cuatom roms. But with stock rom i got about 3:00 to 3:30 hours of screen-on time as with CM i got (and currently get) from 3:15 to 3:45. Depending a little on the usage of course. My use is mainly web browsing and some random gaming.

In my experience, the battery life was a bit worse in JB with Sense 4+, compared to ICS with sense. I believe that CM10 is a bit better than JB with sense and maybe as good as ICS with sense but it is really heard to say without doing controlled comparisions.
One thing I noticed was that in CM10 the phone was held awake for long period of times, mostly by MAPS application. But it looks like it does not have a detrimental effeect on battery life. It is just annoying to see that your phone is held awake.

AW: Battery life one Sense vs CM
I tried different Roms as Blackbeen or Liquidsmooth which both had pretty good battery lifes. Actially I am running Viper One S 2.2.0 and its battery Life is just awesome even with stock Kernel and minimum CPU of 384 MHz. It feels like its way longer than the others. Will try it with a custom Kernel and have a look if it gets even better...

I think with the various answers here, it's clear to see the difference is pretty small.
Having used both, I am struggling to actually remember which is better! Either one, if everything is behaving, will be good for 24+ hours of moderate use which is very acceptable by smartphone standards.

amazing battery.. better possible?

I'm using current venomxl Rom with elemental kernel (all default other than max 1.5ghz and flu overclock off) and getting what I feel are amazing results on battery life. On phones of the past, aosp style roms pulled better battery life, but I saw here in the forums people were getting better battery life with sense roms? Is that true? I posted a screenshot below of my battery life, sorry couldn't figure out how to get jpg link from dropbox app.

Would be nice to hear what Rom/kernel combos others are using and what kind of battery life you are getting.

Put the picture in your public folder. Right click on the picture and click copy public link, or something to that effect then paste the link in your thread.
In any case, the only things you could do to get even better battery would be to undervolt your processor and maybe underclock as well. Some phones become unstable however and while I noticed the general ui and most apps run fine with a clock speed of about 1.2ghz, some, more CPU intensive apps do lag a bit. You can also disable radios when not in use. I actually use juice defender to do this for me automatically, which is pretty handy though not everyone likes the idea of having an app do that for you.
Last but not least, if your radio signal seems low most of the time, you can try flashing different radios to give you a better signal which will, in turn, increase your battery life.
Hope this helps, maybe others have had different experiences?
I use viper and bulletproof right now ad I wanted a stock kernel with swipetowake
And this holds up damn well in terms of battery life. Never used elemental for long though so not sure if it's better or worse.
*edit* I forgot to add, you can also turn off fastboot. Your phone will take longer to power on but saves some battery life.

Such reports are often just anecdotal and very subjective. Like you, I've also seen people claim better life on AOSP or certain ROMs on various devices, but never really experienced it in any consistent or meaningful way. Battery life often has more to do with the radio and reception in your specific care, than anything. Sure, various ROMs on various devices may have some subtle difference in battery life. But unless you are very methodical and scientific about comparing them, there are just too many variables involved, and you are often just left with subjective reports and placebo effects.
Can't open your pic. But if you are satisfied with the battery life (enough to call it "amazing"), I'd just go with the ROM that has the features you like the best, and leave well enough alone.

Buying the Nexus 5

Hi all I've come to a decision that buying the Nexus 5 is worth it, a perfect collection to my devices
The Snapdragon 800 Quad 2.3 got my attention and its pretty cheap
I would like to ask about the battery life and if there are any custom roms that improve it
Thanks alot

Hi,
For the battery life it will vary from each users, it depends on your usage and settings (screen brightness, synchro, GPS, etc...), for more details you can take a look here for example: Nexus 5 Battery Results. Some users have 7 hrs screen on time, others 3 hrs (plus the idle time to take in consideration) for example, like I said it depends of your use. If you are a gamer the battery life will not be the same as the user who use its phone only for SMS.
Again you will have different opinions (and people that claims that x rom or x kernel is the best for battery life, you'll have the same number of opinions as there are different roms / kernels and it will not help you more...), for some the battery life is great and for others it's terrible, etc..., I would say the average is a day for about 4 Hrs screen on time with "normal" (or "light" use, I mean not 1 hour of Dead Trigger) use. It will depend of what you will do with your phone?
The battery life is mainly on the user side, it's not x rom or y rom that will give you better or worse battery life (unless a big issue in the rom, but... or sometimes it's the Gapps that drain more than usual it's right). If you have a bad signal or a rogue app that give you a ton of wackelocks so higher battery drain, whatever the rom or the kernel you will use it will be always the same thing.
If you want improve your battery life, know what apps you have, how and what they do in background for example (to avoid wackeloks), you can underclock, etc...
Take a look here also about battery life and kernel: Nexus 5 Battery benchmarks.
And there is already a bunch of threads (and review) about battery life in the Q&A forum...

To add to what they said though, certain Kernels with certain Roms can HELP with battery life but it all boils down to how the user uses it. I can tell you that with my same usage on KitKat and Cyanogenmod 11 (CM11), I get better battery life out of CM11. I recorded about a 4 hour longer battery life on CM11 as opposed to default KitKat that comes on the device.
You should look into CM11, it's a cleaner, more effecient, more customizable version of KitKat.
Hope this helps!
Great job to Viking on explaining battery life/Roms

@viking37, I Saw on some reviews on the internet that it comes pre-throttled ( pre underclocked ) is this true

Underclocked, for the Nexus 5 , I never saw this, have you a link?
All Nexus 5 are clocked at max 2,26 Ghz, nothing less... It seems that there is different variants of the S800 (clocked at 2,4/2,5 Ghz) but the S800 in the Nexus 5 it's 2,26 Ghz (MSM8974AA).
Maybe you mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_800?

I have no issues with battery life ... I consistently get 14-20 hours of use with 3-5 hours of screen time or 2-3 hours of screen with 1-2 hours of voice.
Auto brightness, GPS on, nothing special.

battery life is terrible but after some modification, it better a lot.

I get 24 hours and 5 to 6 screen time. Tweaked heavily with battery life in mind.
Its nearly as good as my Moto x.
