How long ago did you flash thus particular setup? It generally takes a full cycle or two to get the battery at peak performance.
I flashed when he released FD02 so around that time
You can also download Better Battery Stats to see if a app is keeping the phone awake or Badass Battey Moniter to see what apps are draining it so quickly.

have you tried letting it fully discharge then charge to full?

Most people in this forum are far more tech savy when it comes to cell phones.
Post your personal tips for battery conservation. Include specific apps if you'd like.

I don't worry about battery life, brightness all the way up, sync on, widgets on every screen, Wi-Fi always on. I usually get about 14 hours

I'm very conservative. WiFi off, data off when not using it, brightness depends, auto sync off, no battery sucking apps like facebook

The simple solutions are the best.
Extension cords in the house.
Car chargers/docks in the cars

I get phenomenal battery life out of my S3 (stock).
I had an Epic 4G and was afraid to leave my desk because of the battery drain. With moderate usage (30-60 mins talk time, texting, chat, some web, exchange, ect) I can easily get 16-20 hours. Signal quality in your area will impact it more than anything. Also, wifi is vastly easier on the battery.
PS Facebook app SUCKS. Just bookmark the webpage and use that. Works better and doesn't ruin your phone.
Here how it looks like ! Lovin this screen on time..

I've never even seen liteflow on my battery usage. What makes you say liteflow kills battery?

Awesome thread!
I am noticing that Google Chrome uses half the amount of RAM the stock Internet Brower uses.

I think it depends on how its configured. I've seen it eat the battery but also not use it much at all. Been a bit since I messed with it though so don't remember what settings made the difference.

i have betterbatterystats too but have no idea what the wakelocks affect and how to get rid of them.
Post a screen shot and I'll tell ya what could be happening.
You can improve battery life by switching to custom roms with less bloatware, and updating to more efficient kernels. (This is on a Rom/Kernel level)
Software wise, just figure out what apps are causing wake times and try not to use them. Basically whenever an app/widget refreshes/updates content, it may cause phone to wake (like weather/clock widgets for example).
I have been using cpusleep and it seems to have helped my battery life ... also using a custom rom without the bloatware is key for me.
my current setup is freegs3 release 6 with the latest trinity kernel...even though its overclocked my battery has been amazing and phone has worked flawless.
Im also using system tuner which has given me the ability to manage the cpu with on demand and other customizable settings
The only thing I synch is my k9 mail account
I also have frozen several samsung apps which helped...
Im now getting over 20 hours of basic use between charges...I dont use games/videos so might be a little skewed . I use this phone for business calls/internet/messaging/photos/navi...pretty basic
4500mah stock
Only 58% of battery

I have been using Gigajoule lately by feckmu and it has given me the best battery life out of all the custom roms I have tried. Even with GPS, WIFI, and screen at full brightness I can make it through the entire day with 30-40% battery left. If your looking for a rom-based solution to your battery life, check it out!

I'm running paranoidandroid with the kt747 kernel and I keep seeing how people are getting 20+ hours of battery life. Don't mean to be the n00b on the block but how can I extend my battery life?

Hi
Try using DS Battery saver pro
On Playstore
And cpu spy plus

Well first off what are your settings? I get great battery life but that's because I turn mobile data off most of the time, bluetooth off, brightness all the way down etc etc. If you're talking OC / UV then I haven't a clue sorry
If battery life is important though I recommend an extended battery. I have the hyperion one off amazon and it doubles the capacity for not too much bulk.

Figure out what's using up your battery, and get it to stop doing so.
The basic battery statistics in Settings -> Battery are a good starting point. Past that, perhaps give BetterBatteryStats a spin.

That's normal. What else is using the battery?
I don't know what is causing this massive battery drain overnight. It went from 99% to 29% in a matter of 7 hours overnight. Here's some screen shots from better battery stats and the android battery stats.
I'm not really sure how to solve this problem with the fast battery drain.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You'll have to post screen of kernel/partial wakelocks.

I'll try to take a screen shot of that as well next time this massive drains happens.

Here's some screen shots of a regular day for me. Didn't use the phone too much and it had dropped from 100% to 23% throughout the day.
Hopefully this will give some insight into the problem.
And if it helps I'm using CM10.1 nightlies from 1/27 and using the K747 kernel with the noop & ktoonservative settings.

Yeah I have the same problem. I dont know what to do anymore.
I wanted to know other people's experience with battery guru. I feel it's hindered my battery performance instead of helped it. Please share your experience on this thread about your battery life. Thanks.

My battery was already bad, this app pretty much did nothing to help me out... but I left it running, mostly as a placebo effect lol
I feel as though if u can toggle on/off wifi and mobile data this app will do nothing for you.

I've been using it for a week and haven't really noticed that much of a difference over stock. Pretty much all it does is stop things from syncing all the time.
I use Juice Defender and I do notice a big difference
Don't notice a difference either. It's been almost a week.
