Is anyone else having terrible battery life with ICS? I'm using Calkulin's ROM with FD26, and my phone is already at 50% after 5 hours of being on. No phone calls, screen was barely on, and no browsing. It would usually be at 85-90% on the UnNamed gingerbread ROM. The battery stats say android OS is using the majority of it, and it's making the phone hot as well. Anyone else have this issue? Is it time to go back to gingerbread?
I am havig the exact same issue, fast drain and Android OS being at the top of the list. I haven't got a reply as of yet in other posts so IDK....
If your phone is getting hot then there's probably an app eating up cpu cycles and keeping the phone from deep sleep.
Use an app like system panel to see what app is misbehaving.
Try a few things.. I fell aslee with..umm... A.very family friendly website on and it stayed on all night. I ended up gaining battery somehow... Not really gaining but it was around 45 when i slept. But my settings are so tweaked...

If you are using Calk's FD26, then it's trying to use 'conservative' cpu governor but it's not supported on Stock ICS. Backup his CPU tweak init.d script and try modified version in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625299
Hopefully, I expect coming FE07 has more CPU governors that will give us more power saving options.
Well why dont you try my RubiX Xcel Rom. Users are reporting awesome battery life of 14hrs Plus under Moderate to heavy use. Just a thought

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Do you know how it compares to the AOKP ROM?
How does this look? Caulk v1.5.

I don't do anything special really. If you are starting from a stock ROM, delete Sprint bloat (I do keep Sprint TV and VVM) and delete Social Hub and the 4 apks tied to it. Replace those with inverted Facebook and Twitter if you use them. Actually use as many inverted apps as possible. Turn off auto brightness and control it by swiping across status bar. The more time on wifi the better obviously. Kobridge and I have discovered that leaving wifi on even when not connected actually helps. Ummm....not many widgets helps. I always have a minimal homescreen. Also dark wallpapers with only a little color is good too. Black ones are best. That's a good start. Let me think if I do anything else but for the most part that's all I do. Watch out for rogue apps running in the background. Oh yeah...delete Maps and only install when you need it. One app running in the background can ruin your whole setup. Monitor that with Better Battery Stats

Why delete maps? Does it always run in the background?
FD10 to FD26 stock I was getting up to 31 hours of standby. Definitely only brought the phones down to 50% in 5 hours through moderate use.

Venum Ice FD19 is my main daily. I just added WP7 Notifications to squash the one minor issue.
And yes I delete the baked in Maps because it has been known to start on its own after boot. Check with BBS and it should let you know
Actually I was involved with Ice. It is basically my exact setup out of the box.
Edit...I forgot about deleting clock and weather widgets apks if you don't use them. I use Weatherbug Elite

OK, my wife has had this phone since last September and it has just recently been suffering from some very unusual battery drain. Tonight I placed a fully charged battery in it at 9:30 pm killed all the non essential apps via menu / settings / running services. And by 11:00 it was already at 50%. What could be causing this issue? It is fully stocked and not rooted. Thanks for the help

Possibly a app that u downloaded is waking it up or an update u did recently.

I'm having similar battery drain problems with my SGS2. My phone shuts down, like empty battery power, when I'm online for a few minutes or playing a game when in fact the battery still has more than 50% stored power. This started happening a few weeks ago. I didn't download or update any app before I noticed this "phenomenon".
Anyone has an idea what could be causing this battery drain? How can I resolve this?

Thee have been a few times where my battery drained overnight where it only usually goes down like 5-6%. Both times I run found out there was either a tower down nearby or they were doing work. Check an app like badass battery moniter, it gives you a rundown of apps and modem drain.

Download system panel and see what programs are eating up CPU and using data. Also consider Wi-Fi and data toggles they save a ton of battery and turning off background data. If your still have major drain issues hope got insurance...bring it down and get a new battery.

All of a sudden I've been getting less battery life. When looking at the programs that are using the battery most, Maps has been near the top of the list. The thing is, it does this even when not using the maps app at all. I've tried force closing, but still pulls CPU and drains the battery.
Running Blazer 4.1
Thanks

I used to have that same problem, try uninstalling the updates on Maps and turning your GPS off until you need it. Hope this helps.

I ended up reflashing 4.1 and, so far, it seems to have taken care of the issue. Hopefully it sticks!

I learned latitude was giving me the battery drain. Go into it and open up the settings and make sure you're opted out of the location updates and signed out. It helped a lot.
Well I updated because I was thinking it was going to save some battery life, maybe a bit fast (Lets be honest, I may of had a little chubby thinking it was jelly bean, blah so disappointed)
Anyhoo the 2 days that I have had the update Iv noticed worse battery life and for the first little bit it was LAAAGGYY. I called 2 of my other buddies who advised that they did not notice anything laggy but did notice battery life was way worse.
Anyone else?

Brutal battery life over here.

No complaints thus far. All bloatware removed and unnecessary widgets frozen using TB.

I guess I shoulda been more specific. So before the update I was getting a full 13+ hours with normal use. Now I will be lucky to get 8 hours. I actually had to buy a usb charger...I never owned one before this.
I could try rooting, removing and stopping some programs to see if that helps, it's just weird how I lost that much batt. I wonder what changed.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
use can freeze most apps without root/TB in the app manager in settings. Just click the app force stop and freeze. Some may need to have the update uninstalled before freeze options shows up.
Yeah, my battery life is much worse now, need to charge everyday rather than every 1.5 days..
I do notice lag as well. Need to clear my recent apps much more frequently.
Seriously, for me, the only advantage for updating was enabling the Allshare Cast option..

I've only installed this today, so I don't know if it drains the battery.
However, I get Talk messages and Gmails almost instantly.
Thanks for posting up. I'll download and check how much drain is there while in deep sleep. I'm getting so tired of unlocking the phone and BAM! My lady done blew me up and thinks I'm ignoring her
