[Q] Help increasing battery life to 12+ hrs (heavy useage)

Cycled 3 times now and the first day with moderate use I went about 8-9 hours. It was awesome. Now that I'm using it a little heavier and will actually be using it quite heavily with data, gps, browsing, phone calls etc. I am noticing maybe that really isn't enough... I need like 12 hours or more like I hear some people are getting...
So I ask you XDA, what is THE BEST way for me to achieve super long battery life with heavy use. I'm already using SetCPU (settings below)
2100 maH battery? (Will this even be a huge difference from our current battery? I don't know what our stock battery maH is..)
3800 maH battery? (If this ends up being the best solution...I need a good case to support it and these usually don't have those...)
A way to turn off LTE?
...any other way to get 12+ hours out of my phone with heavy usage? I'm never in the car long enough or at a desk long enough some days to be able to plug my phone in and charge...
Also, I've searched and searched and can't find anything other than "The LTE is still on even if you use X ROM, or turn X settings off, or install X kernel/radio." Is there any new update on how to turn off LTE on the Skyrocket when rooted?
My SetCPU settings:
Clock max 1350 MHz
Clock min 192 MHz
Profiles:
Screen OFF
Priority 60
Clock max 432 MHz
Clock min 192 MHz
Battery >=50*C

Battery <= 50%

Clock max 918MHz
Clock min 192 MHz
Battery <= 80%
Priority 40
Clock max 1188MHz
Clock min 192 MHz
Please help. I NEED to find a way to do this. I'm a network technician and having no access to phone calls and emails is tough. Also my family and loved ones after the work day and I'm still out doing errands for another 4 or so hours and my phone is 0% dead isn't a good thing.
*Note: If the 2100maH battery takes the stock back plate and it can give me what I'm asking for I would PREFER it. I have an Otterbox case I dropped $50 + SH on and I'd like to keep using it....

I found a 2250maH Battery on ebay.. MFG is Andida. $13 shipped. Fits in the stock battery location with the stock cover. I have an OtterBox case. All is well! Worth the 7 day wait!

Thank you Hemi! Is Andida a good brand or something? Or are you just letting me know so I can find it? Just curious. How has the life been? I had an Atrix before the SkyRocket and I know a MAJOR issue with that phone was anything above stock that was breaking the 2000maH mark WOULD NOT register in the battery's true %. No matter what cycling, "fixes", battery stat resets etc. that you did. Does the battery on here show you the actual stats? Would this battery last long enough to meet my needs? 12 hour day with heavy usage?
Sorry for the question bombardment...but if this will really answer my needs which I really need answered ASAP, I will drop the $ for this immediately.

How do you UV?
Also, what do you guys who've under clocked found as a good clock to keep it at? 1.5ghz is REALLY high IMO and I normally have it cap around 1.2ghz...anyone found a good clock to run around and it still be snappy and smooth?
Also..how do the guys with stock batteries get those 12 hour times? Is it just moderate usage? Will the 2100mah or 2200mah batteries give me what I want? 12 hours high usage? Or do I need to go with the 3800mah seidos I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on...?

Can't help with the battery, but I run 1080 max 192 min, battery is more or less same as 1500 max for me. I get 4hrs screen on time, maybe 3.5 if there's above average voice use. This is with data on the whole time. I've found my battery is just about completely dependent on screen time, minus some expected drain over the course of hours but that's very minimal.

In my experience the Extended Samsung Nexus battery is a better solution than the Andida.

The battery and mfg is the only one I found that was a 2500maH. It was the largest I found that kept everything I wanted (stock battery, cover, etc). There might be another CO that makes one, but this is what I've found. Two weeks and running. It charges the first 65% like a banshee, then slows down for the remainder.
It's worked well for me, extending my day and making life easier. It really doesn't take any longer to fully charge than the stock one did, just longer life throughout the day.
Hope this helps.

You thought about getting external mobile charger or just spare batteries? you charge everything when you got the time and then just swap around when needed.

have i got a solution for you my friend...
I'm testing a set of tweaks i made for my old phone which is working well. These tweaks provide excellent battery life and incredible performance gains.
Just to give you a quick snapshot, I'm at 22+ hours uptime @ 28% under moderate use. I'm not oc/uv either, and i am on official aokp Rom.
I plan to have it finalized by Sunday as long as my normal life duties don't interfere...

I am the exact same way with my skyrocket, heavy use for work and need at least 12hrs+ battery. So after much research, Looking at extra batteries to carry around or the tweak/root/rom method, which is way more convenient then carrying around batteries all the time.
I rooted my device, put SKYICS on it, and tweaked the CPU and UV, and now I'm using my phone heavy and at hour 12 i'm at 39%, so happy now with this phone now. It does me. Give it a try, believe me you wont be disappointed.

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.

[Discussion] Improving efficiency and battery life of the V20.

I've been using a V20 for several months now and I'm really enjoying the many features and flagship-grade hardware it offers. However, it has a lot of problems in terms of design. The V20 runs REALLY hot, and all that heat comes with an enormous power consumption (most figures for stock SOT, including my own, are around four hours.)
I've had a few ideas of my own for correcting LG's mistakes, and I'm wondering what all of your experiences are.
Underclocking the processor: The 820 is a fast, yet power-hungry and hot, processor. Underclocking it would trade off performance in favor of cooler phone and more battery life. Has anyone tried modifying the stock CPU governor or in any way messing with the clocks? I've experimented with LKT but didn't really notice any significant improvement.
Undervolting the processor: I'm not sure about how feasible this is on Android devices. Undervolting the processor would increase battery life and cool the phone at the expense of stability. Anyone find that the CPU is running at an necessarily high voltage?
Reducing Screen Resolution/Framerate: The V20 uses a 1440p display. With its screen size, most of the time this isn't necessary. Are there any tools to automatically reduce resolution when not playing back fullscreen 1440p content? Has anyone tried one, and what are the effects?
Aftermarket batteries: I've been using a 10500mAh extended battery. While it brings SOT up to usable levels, it's very heavy (and has over the course of a month or two decayed to only around 7Ah.) What's the general opinion on these?
Thermal pasting: Repasting or using at thermal pad has been a very common procedure for this device. For those who have done this, what kind of objective analysis of its effects can you providef?

You did not mention what variant, most of the issues you mentioned can be rectified by flashing a custom rom and kernel

There is also the almighty...AKT (Advanced Kernel Tweaks Mod you can flash. Use the 820 selection.
Also thermal mods as well

Although LKT and AKT do have some advantages, they didn't give me much more Screen On Time - so I removed them. Have you gotten a significant more amount of SOT? If so, what settings?

I can get around 10hrs sot (depending) using Xana extreme battery. That's the one I'm currently on.
Have a 4200 mAh battery (reg size)

It is hard to tell. Alot of placebo mods out there. I also put zram at zero and knocked my entropy to 2048 for write. I'm still learning and tweaking tho.

Going along with this, which is better: AKT or NFS-Injector?

I would propose that most custom ROMs are probably placebo when it comes to battery life. Very few mention changing anything related to CPU governor, resolution, etc. all of which are the main factors in power consumption (running in Doze 5% more of the time isn't going to affect SOT, for example, which is the only metric that really matters.)
It doesn't help that LG's display technology leaves much to be desired.

Guys, order a Perfine 4100mah battery in Ali....ess and be happy. Better than that 10000mah ugly fat battery cases. SoT about 7 hours. And if that's not enough for one whole day you are facing other problems lol..

Okay, most admit. Only wifi the whole day cause it's been a rainy day.

Advanced Interactive Governor guide for LG V20?
I have seen the "Advanced Interactive Governor" tweaks elsewhere on here for other phones, but it looks like some of it may be able to be used on the LG V20.
(Links to a few of them will be at the bottom for reference.)
I have calculated the frequencies for both CPU's on the T-Mobile variant, the H918, for both maximal efficient load, and minimal efficient load, according to the math in those articles. If anyone would like to try this on an LG V20 with me and help me work out specifics for this phone, it would probably speed up the process quite a bit, and I could share what I have so far.

In that case: I am facing other problems.
For some reason this is currently getting me only about 2 hours SOT on a used V20 I just bought. Battery capacity seems good according to accubattery.

Battery needs optimization

After 7 days of with the phone in my pocket, I think battery needs some serious optimization. Compared to my previous device Redmi note 6 pro on 4000mah had a lot better battery than Mi note 10 at 5260mah. Battery is draining like too fast. I'm on xiaomi eu btw.

I sincerely hope Xiaomi fixes this battery issue with a firmware update. A 5000+mah battery with a mid tier chipset should give phenomenal life.
I think we should get together and make some noise to get Xiaomi to address this. Tech reviewers are blaming the UI

I must agree on this. The battery life leaves a lot to be desired. Thought it would be amazing, but it's only marginally better than my old Nokia 7 Plus.. And the battery in that one is 3800mah.
Please optimize the software Xiaomi!

Yeah after rooting i did some digging. There is some kernel optimisation needed.
Example: Min freq is not set to 300mhz but to 5xx mhz. Also there is some kind of cpu boost enbled (i wasnt yet able to disable it) which is way too agressive, this also causes the min freq to get stuck at 13xx mhz. This cna only be solved by rebooting

Do you suggest taking parameters for this? Or just wait for a Major update?

Actually I am impressed by how long the battery lasts on my Mi note 10
Using it basically no stop, with screen on 90% if the timer and using GPS, chats and emails and more, in the evening I still have not less than 40%

Yeah exactly. But thats not that big problem, if you watch your CPU Stats you can see your idle freq get stuck at 13xx for both clusters. Thats quite high for idling. Also did look into the released kernel source, but couldnt find the problem

Not the biggest fan of things like LKT, but in this case it works. Sets the cpu to 300mhz and gets rid of the 12xxmhz boost! if any one want to try it aswell

Your phones guys have really some problems. Mine is rooted and twrp. Updated. The rest is all stock. Yesterday I used it like crazy. Google map for about 2.5 hours, screen during the day basically always on cause I use whatsapp for work. I also spent 1 hour playing a game. In the evening I had 41% battery.
This phone have a monster battery! Amazing!

I would like to feel the same optimism that you feel, but until now, I cannot. I got my phone 2 days ago, 2 full charges, one gave me 8h of SOT and the other 7h of SOT. There is something wrong here. I had more battery life with the Pocophone I had than with Mi note 10. Let's see if in a future update it gets better

I mean yes it has good battery life and i can get easily 2 days. But its a 5xxx mah battery. It can last longer. Its like upgraing from 1liter to 2liters but only using 1.5 Liters.

Its Never a 5xxx Battery
A real live measure says its a 4000mah Battery. So imho its a Selling Trick from Xiaomi

If that's true: it aint just a selling trick but a crime!
Can you proove your statement here? Would be interesting for everyone I guess

Thinking about it, 4000mah sounds right. The Oppo Reno2 has a 4000mah battery, uses the same 730G chipset and has about the same screen size.
The GSMarena endurance test gave the Oppo Reno2 a 102hr endurance rating.
The Mi Note 10 scored 95hrs endurance rating.
I think we've been duped here

I've installed AccuBattery to monitor drain and give a mAh rating estimate

data ?, or it doesnt happen.

Forgot to mention there is a crazy battery drain at night for no reason like 10% down (Flight mode on, only alarm set on) .

Yeah after rooting i did some digging. There is some kernel optimisation needed.
Example: Min freq is not set to 300mhz but to 5xx mhz. Also there is some kind of cpu boost enbled (i wasnt yet able to disable it) which is way too agressive, this also causes the min freq to get stuck at 13xx mhz. This cna only be solved by rebooting

yes. any xiaomi device It has that. The only option is the force setting set min. 300mhz on APK like ex Kernel menager. And turning off boost Touch
Check mi room or miuimix rom based on China dev. I use mi Rom on cc9 and k20 pro. The battery is much better than xiaomi.eu

Lenovo legion Y90 battery high Voltage issue!

Hi guys, I have got the Lenovo legion Y90 phone a few days ago and while checking the battery's condition though the Accubattery app, I have noticed that the battery voltage is very high ranging from 7.8V to above 8.2V when it's fully charged. As far as I know the normal voltage for the phone's lithium ion battery should range from 3.9V to 4.2V when fully charged and it could be very harmful to the battery life if it goes higher than that but what I got is actually double the normal voltage. The phone has got dual batteries but I have never had this high voltage reading with any other dual battery phones that I have had before this one. Can anyone advise on that please? Thanks

i have the same issue im not sure what to do on k50 gamig

Does the k50 gaming edition have dual batteries too? Now I am starting to believe that this is an issue with the Accubattery software itself when dealing with dual batteries. I think it might be reading each of the batteries alone and summing-up the 2 voltages like doubling it! Because the phone usually doesn't get hot even with the high voltage reading

I don't think so coz i have one plus 8t and the voltage is fine
Anyways i returned the phone coz it was also getting hot

Maybe its a failure with the phone if its getting too hot, about having the double Volts is expected as these phones are game made and need hgh voltage to avoid increase the amp(which leads to high temeperature). so yes the divided battery is expected to delivery more voltage, but this is not risk, its just planned to be so.
