I'd been really wondering about this as well. I noticed your post in the main Rom thread about good battery life with many or most of the Samsung apps removed, did that affect how many Android System wake locks you've been getting as well? Do you have any of the system apps still running? I ask because I'd love to optimize my battery life, but there's still a few things I'd rather keep on it, as long as they're not the cause of some big issue that's preventing phone from sleeping or otherwise doing whatever it needs to to have such great battery life.
I'd also seem on another forum that for some, keeping all the apps and not even freezing any of them had actually turned out the best battery life overall, so that really had me puzzled. Thanks in advance for any advice you have.

Honestly I'm just as puzzled about it as you and everyone else is lol. Supposedly Android 4.4.3 (unreleased and unannounced) has fixed it.

Scroll to the right on the wakelock manager. If its alarmmanager it has to do with how android is managing schedules, it keeps the device awake so it can launch the task and wake the device http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html there's more info on it. There are currently more effective ways to handle this and android has implemented this just need developers to change to the new methods

Hi there,
So I just flashed this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474878
It was last night, I hopped that battery issue drain by Cell stanby~Android System would be fix, but it didn't worked for me..
I flashed the ROM correctly, everything was OK. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and even formatted /system.
I don't understand why, my battery is really strange, sometimes I lose only 2 or 3% during many hours, other times I lose 20% per hour (with inactiv use).
I never had battery issue before ICS.
I got a Nexus S i9023, I hope some of you gonna be able to help me, I really want to fix that battery !
Best regards,
SpawN-
flash a rom that doesn't suck your battery! Or try some kernels that helps you to save battery
Yea sure, but this ROM was just here for the problem with battery, so it had to fix the problem, but didn't work for me, that's why I don't understand =/

sounds like it could be gremlins, or an app app wreaking havoc. also, apps that need to check for notifications drain battery quickly. i usually turn off all notifications(except gtalk/gmail).
I don't have any apps making annoying notifications, my Wifi and 3G are OFF and I often use Task Killer to kill useless processus.
I read that the porting of 4.0.4 for ns gsm was really smooth and battery save
This ROM wasn't even intended for your phone. All bets are off for stability...forget about battery life.
Seriously, though the behaviour you're seeing may not be the ROM. It could be programs keeping the phone awake during standby. To confirm, there's an app called Better Battery Stats on market (and in the Android Development and Hacking section on these forums) that may be able to help you figure things out.

Hello,
Have you tried to change your RADIO ?
try this kernel *Matr1x* with BLN and voodoo v16.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361477
I think it would be help.
For what i've seen the 4.0.4 version was just a leak so there could be some issue/bug. Maybe is better to stay with a custom Rom+kernel and wait for the update or for a custom kernel based on oficial realease 4.0.4 version.
cheers.
The only battery fix in 4.04 was the android os stats being logged incorrectly, i.e. too high.
That has been fixed in 4.04.
I don't think there ever was a cell standby/android system logging bug.
You may be mistaken.
Hey guys. I have a VZW Galaxy SIII, as you know, and the battery life has been quite bad for the longest time. Any suggestions as to what kernel I should use? I'm currently running CM10.1.3, but I plan on updating to KitKang (Unofficial 4.4). Thanks!
This guys kernel is pretty good, i can get a full 8 hours or better depending on the type of usage.

Also you should go grab better battery stats. The developer posts a free version here on Xda. Use the app to test for wakelocks

Since we're suggesting apps Greenify works pretty good for me. Probably got me a couple more hours. It kind of works like Titanium Backup's freeze option. You choose what you want to greenify and it "freezes" them until you start them yourself. Then puts them back to sleep when you exit.
Don't know if you look but there's a ton of crap running that doesn't need to be all the time. Reminds me of msconfig.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
"best" in roms and kernels is dependent on a variety of factors...to include settings and signal amongst other things.. Please take a look and try them all to determine what it is you need.

Hello.
I have a battery problem on my nexus 5. Seems like no matter what I do, my Nexus 5 discharges like it never sleeps. It first occured on Cataclysm with franco r32, I wiped everything and tried Cyanogen, same happened. Now with AOKP and Purity and Sanity - SAME PROBLEM.
What am I missing?
I am using multirom twrp.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you

Unfortunately, as good as some on XDA are at troubleshooting, none of us can see your phone. Or what apps you have. Or battery stats. Or wakelock detection. I think you get the point. Just saying I have bad battery life is absolutely worthless without other details to explain what is going on. I'd suggest looking into the apps: Bettery Battery Stats and / or Wakelock Detector. Both of these, over the course of some time will be able to get you a better idea of what's up, or at least that and some screenshots posted here might be able to provide some more insight. If you can use that to track down some problem areas, it's possible the app Greenify can help hibernate it and keep it from making so much trouble.

I would tell you more about apps and wakelocks but the thing is I have been testing those roms i mentioned completely stock. I tried greenify with every rom, gsam reported 23min SOT with 7hours battery life when I checked (at 4% battery). So I tried another rom - I am on Vanir right now.. don't even have google account set up and still experiencing the same drainage.. 30% in 2hours idling..
Well, you could test till your fingers fall off, but if you don't share your findings, then how could we help you? I'm not saying that I can or can't help, but there are many here with a lot of experience with these issues and a breakdown of your findings might help someone point you in the right direction. Plus if there are other users in your situation, and they see your findings coincide with theirs, then that's more subject material to help troubleshoot. I've flashed dozens of roms and have not experienced anything similar, before or after sync. Not saying I haven't had battery issues, but usually brought upon by myself and playing with kernels and settings. Just haven't had that kind of drain through multiple roms and what not.
Hi all!
I want to change the ROM of my HTC One Mini (currently 4.4.2 Stock, Bootloader unlocked, rooted) for install something more light and fast.
In my HTC sometimes i can see lags even in the home screen, moving from a page to another.
And i also have a big battery drain, even without 3rd party apps that consume battery. Currently i'm using only 2G (i locked 3G) and i turned off the backlights of buttons to save some energy, disabled apps like facebook etc, low brightness...but if i disconnect it from the current at 8 am he will have 50-40% at 4pm with a medium/low usage.
So, returning to my question, which is the better ROM for me?
No one?

I've only used the stock based roms on here, not cm11 or other. But from my experience I found stock 4.3 to be the best in speed and battery. The main thing to do if your rooted is to delete system apps you don't use. Do some research on what's good or not to remove. Apps like Greenify can help. Personally I don't think you battery results are that bad. As long as you can reach the end of the day without charging your doing ok. Can't see another Rom giving you double battery life.

Ok
I will try stock 4.3 so!
thanks
I've got one mini for 5 months now and belive me i tried a bunch of roms. Right now i am on 4.4.2 sense 6 rom, which works perfect except whatsapp issue (you need exactly 2.11.226 version to work) and there is no "show recent apps" when you double tap home button, but that can also be solved with app called "swipe home button''. That is if you want to stick with stock based roms and sense, but get something new.
You could also try cyanogenmod, but as its still nightly i've expirienced some bugs, and found the "Codename Lungo" better working, which is also based on cm11.
In my opinion these cm based roms could help with your battery drain but they certainly have more bugs that stock based ones.
If you feel like experimenting, you could try this new pacman rom, i havent tried it yet. Anyway here are the links to threads:

When I tried 5.0 and 5.0.1 ROMs I had severe battery drain problems, so I went back to 4.4.4
I don't have time to waste flashing a ROM which hasn't solved the battery life issue which many (not all, I know, but MANY) people have encountered in Lollipop.
My question is this: NOT referring to your own personal setup, but regarding the N5 community as a whole - is there still a battery life problem prevalent on 5.0.2 ROMs for lots of people?
A simple yes or no will suffice. Thank you.
No. There never has been even on the L preview releases
Also there is no 5.0.2 for our device
Yes, there are definitely battery drain issues. I am not too sure it's related to the ROMs themselves but rather the radio. I have tried all Lollipop radios with a very basic set up on both stock ROMs and Cyanogenmod. At some point, I will get idle drain in the region of 2-4% an hour - way higher than I would expect.
There are no wake-locks - the device seems to sleep well - it's just idle drain is horrible. Go back to the radio from 4.4.2 and the drain ceases.
If one more person points to the Battery Life Q&A thread I might swear.
is it possible to use that radio with 5.0.1/2?

Yes, I've not had any compatibility issues with any radio/ROM combo thus far. You can grab the radio image from the within stock factory images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images or go straight to the radio (in both img and flashable zip format) here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Nexus_5/Modems
For ref, KOT49E is the one I use. Technically this is 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 shared the same one.
The KRT16M the 4.4.2? If so i have a flashable zip if you want it

Radios are device-specific and rom-agnostic. You can flash any N5 radio with any rom.
Is it confirmed that the battery life using the old radio is better?

There is no confirmation.
There are too many variables, the biggest being location....
What's better for one can be completely different for another.
Test several for your usage and location. You may also find little or no difference as well
If you are still getting 'drain', narrow down the issue by logic: work out what is actually using the battery, they don't drain by themselves. Apply this thinking to any device

I believe my issue is poor signal at home on my desk causing battery drain overnight. By flashing an older version of radio will this improve my battery life in anyway?
There is no such "drain" in Lollipop. People just have wakelock issues with their own setup, the same as on KK or any version of Android. They simply put the blame on Lollipop and say there is nothing wrong with their wakelock issues.

It's a little narrow-minded to rule out all issues based on personal experience. My device, with current set up, sleeps like a baby. I don't use location services nor social apps like Facebook. My signal strength is fine.
On a Lollipop radio, idle drain after 1 or 2 days uptime will increase to around 4% an hour. On the radio from 4.4.2, my uptime can be a week or two and idle remains at about 1% an hour, everything else being equal.
Radios don't cause wakelocks, enable location services or install Facebook.
I do agree with one thing though - it's not Lollipop itself causing the battery issues. Some problem is deeper than that.

Radio's are an entire different story.
Different ones work better for different people.
Nor are they Android version related - there is no "Lollipop radio", its just a radio version that will work with any version of Android, and was the latest one so it was packaged with the latest factory images. Again, nothing to do with Lollipop

Cool. That's why I said "it's not Lollipop itself causing the battery issues".
Lethargy I disagree mainly because there are a few bugs in Lollipop that need work to make it a bit more stable. They have pushed the fixes into AOSP for the ones that have been found but it seems like custom ROMs on Lollipop or a majorly tweaked stock ROM do better.
A lot of it too I think is how poor Google Play Services is with battery. I feel like I have to jump through hoops just to get Google Play Services to behave.
