[Q] Terrible battery life - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi guys, I'm running dirty unicorns, new test build, deathly kernel. Intelliactive / cbq. No overclock. Averaging 5-6 hours unplugged at most. I've attached my better battery stats and am hoping someone can help me make this phone last! Thanks!

[Q] CM 7 Thunderbolt Kernel?

Hello,
Just registered in hopes of finding an explanation/solution as to why my battery on my Tbolt is getting such short life.
I'm running CM7 7.1.0, and I've tried both the AOSP lean kernel as well as the newly released Zoom Kernel and I'm still only getting around 10 hours of battery life with average Wifi usage.
I've tried using all of the suggested governers with each respective kernel, and have tried underclocking to 768 max, and I am still getting just better that stock battery life.
Any experts care to share any tips? Should I clear my battery stats and re-flash cm7?
Thanks!

[Q] Voltage advice?

I'm running nscollab 1.60 with Franco kernel and was wondering if anyone's got some good custom voltage settings I can test out for a stronger battery life?
Essentially I'm a data user. Usually on the screen 4+ hours of the days, running market, fb and browser and of course texting.
Currently I'm messing around with smartassv2 200/800 deep idle off, BLN off, and kernel default voltage and I'm about to run my first battery calibration ...
Thanks on advance
EDIT: another side note is I've noticed my screen gets pretty hot now. When I'd run stock GB it wouldn't do that.

Best Rom with Battery Life?

Hello,
What is your best Rom which have a good battery life?
Thanks!
you need to try yourself, because it depends on your kind of usage.
however, you can look around the forum, there are some very nice threads benchmarking the different roms/kernels/governors/etc...
For me it's nuhetri-reloaded + Air Kernel 3.4.5 using smartassV2+noop scheduler
This is my current set up (check signature). Its been the best so far with battery. I can leave my phone off for 6 hours and loose 1-2%. The performance is pretty damn good too, very smooth and quick
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 27)
Air Kernel (3.45)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC 105
Seems like air kernal is quite popular atm.

if you want a Gingerbread ROM then do koush's ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091153
But if you want an ICS ROM then do SLIM ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495652
Just dont mess with the kernel.... I used the GB rom awhile and now this ICS rom... both get all day life and I use about 3 hours a day of surfing the web, about 2 hours of playing music and some games. Both have great idles that dont suck up battery life. Just be careful of some apps that drain batteries.... so try then bareboned then try with the apps you want. There will be a difference so play with the ROM to see what is best for you and ur usage.
Just use the notification bar to turn off internet, wifi and gps when not used.
good luck
I get pretty good battery life with vhgomez Lota r1 + Matr1x cfs 17.5. Averaging about 15-16 hours with medium use(about 2 1/2 hours screen on time).
Usually at 200/1000 with Deep Idle and either SavagedZen or Lulzactive.
I must say...BuglessBeast is treating me EXTREMELY well so far...I start my day at 4:00am, I don't usually plug in to recharge until around 10:30-11:00pm....
Very good lifespan... before custom ROM, I was recharge before dinner almost every day.
I'm VERY pleased with this ROM.

[Q] Battery Life?

Which radio are you gents getting good performance with decent battery life? I'm kicking around T989UVMC6 and it seems to be more power hungry but perhaps its just my area. I don't think this is very good battery life as I've barley used my phone today. I'm considering buying the battery for the nexus as it has a little more capacity and I've read it fits but I'm waiting on confirmation.
Anyways..I'm testing slimbean 3.1.0 build 3 with the T989UVMC6. I'm thinking of trying the LV kernel, what governor and I/O scheduler are providing good results for you guys?
And this battery: EB-L1D7IVZ

Is this the one your referring to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025488&highlight=bluelightning+x2
You running the standard JB one and not the GPU OC one? You seem to be playing with all the roms and kernels to..how would you compare it to LV kernel. Also, what radio are you using? Does it seem like my cell standby time is high in that screen shot? I have only made two phone calls and had the screen on a few times for a few minutes today. The phone was at 100% at the start of the morning and has been very idle so i'm surprised to see it so drained.

On page 5 on that thread is the link for X2. Flash X2 then the GPU OC Zip.. Using UVMC Radio. Haven't flashed LZ in a while so i don't know.
I'm using BlueLightning with Conservative and SIO, minimum frequency is 348 max is 1188. It's not the best combinauon if you prefer performance, I get about 18 or 19 hours of battery life I'm also using the same radio as you BTW .

[Q] Increase battery life

Hi ! I need your help because I'd like to increase my battery life.
I installed this on my device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670621
I also installed faux123 kernel.
Both of these things said it would increase the battery life, but it don't seems to work, my battery last the same time than before. Maybe it's because I took faux kernel overclocked to 1,6 Ghz ? Or maybe these two things aren't compatible. Do you have any trick to increase battery life ? A better kernel ?
Thanks for your help !
How much life are trying to get?
