So my battery life is just not good, I'm wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong or not doing.... but even when the phone is off it loses battery life really quick.
Is there maybe something I'm missing or need to do?

Happens to me too...I tried calibrator apps and still no luck i actually left cm9 last night and to rujelus22 it was good but ended up running into problems but maybe you should try flashing a different rom or charge your phone fully then reflash cm9 let the battery drain all the way then charge it again fully...

Yeah I wasn't sure if there is some setting I can change, might just end up getting the bigger battery like I did my Evo and call it a day! Other then that I love my cm9

Hey, I would try to flash an updated kernel for the cm9 alpha 3. Alpha3 comes with FD10 and I found that it made the Android OS drain my battery faster than it should. With FD26 the Android OS drain on my battery has been much lower. However, from what I hear which kernel works best varies on the phone, so I would try a couple others.
its been 3 days since i rooted my phone for the first time due to battery life issues. the first day my phone lasted for 10 hours. after a full discharge and full charge I've been experiencing horrible battery life again on medium usage. only getting 6 hours of battery life. what do you guys think would be the cause of this??? everybody is getting better battery life and mine seems to be horrible still. I don't have any out of the ordinary apps running either. do you think i need a new battery?

I have never found juggs to be a battery friendly ROM. It's a power ROM. Better for gaming, shooting live video etc. If you want the 15 to 20 hour battery some are getting then switch over to darksides ROM DIGITALWARFARE. It's powerful enough for gaming just not like juggs.
Also usage plays a roll to. If your gaming for 4 stright hours don't expect the phone to last that long because no phone will. Running Juggs with darksides kernal is kinda doesn't mix.

Download 2x battery from the market, it's done wonders for my phone and i use it with any rom i flash. Not to mention i ran that same setup for quite awhile and the maximum time out of a battery i've gotten comes using juggs 5 and v1 darkside kernel.
I'm running Juggernaut 5.0, with Eugene's Streamline kernel. I'm getting about 17hs. I'm also OCD, so I play, and tweak every setting possible. I game a lot, and usually get about 6-8 with that. It depends on a lot of factors though. I agree though, it's kind of an oxymoron to use Darkside kernel with that rom. They kind of clash.....I guess you could say, as far as battery goes anyways. I had the same issue when I used that kernel. Just my experience anyways. There's a lot of setups you could go with, so. Best to just test everything once, till you find your happy place.

hey mike what were your results with new kernal ?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
unfourtunately im seeing no results. i got about 6-7 hours still on decent amount of usage. i even went ahead and purchased the extended battery from nexus and im still seeing no improvements! im pretty sure its not a rogue app because i barely use any apps. im even using apps like 2x battery to try to get more juice. anyways i just wiped and installed digital warfare last night. just unplugged my phone at 100% lets see how this goes. ill report back.

what are you using? are you experiencing poor battery life as well?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Your battery life also depends on a number of other factors as well. Do you have animations on or off? If they are on, turn them off. What brightness is your screen? I turn mine all the way down. How many widgets are you running? I don't use widgets. Is your phone constantly syncing with Facebook, Twitter etc? I only turn my sync on for Gmail and Google. Is your GPS on? I have mine off at all times. Do you stream a lot of music/videos? How many programs do you have running in the background? I make sure everything is closed or off except for the programs that need to be on. If I need to use a program/app I will open it, I don't need it constantly running shortening my battery life. Etc Etc.
I also recommend using the app Juice Defender. Yes it runs in the background at all times, but, it greatly improves battery life. I use it all the time and it's fantastic.
I typically have my phone on for 15-17hrs a day and by the time I go to bed I still have over 50% battery left. I am currently just on a stock ROM and not Juggs, but my results with Juggs were around the same as well, even with the Darkside Kernel. Peace

+1 I don't use juice defender on my device since I am happy with the battery life I get so far. However, I have Juice Defender on my wife's SGS2 with custom settings and her battery life has improved a lot. Before her phone would only last 10-12 hours with moderate use. Now she gets over 20 hours with the same usage.
Use tdjs ROM

I'm using aokp now but I found this to be the best setup for battery for me.
I recommend you try this and see if you still have this issue.
Juggernaut + synergy + juice defender on aggressive mode = awesome battery life.. awesome enough for you to have multiple MiniBaths. :banghead:

I lost 10-15% an hour if im not on Wifi, this phone has terrible batt life when not on wifi. Could that be why?

LI8, as far as I'm concerned, is about perfect. Except for battery drain. Its atrocious. Anyone figure out why, and is there a fix yet?
So thats whats have been draining my battery lol
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah its pretty bad. Hopefully someone figures out a fix.
If I could get comparable batt life from LI8 to Frosty ICS, it would definitely be my daily driver. So far on Frosty ICS I am 21 hrs with 2:49 screen time and 25% batt left. Hopefully this will get sorted out on the official update.
It's because you're comparing a final/polished OS to one that isn't supposed to be used yet because it was never released. Also, ICS battery life will be better than JB in general anyways.
Sent from my phone. Prepare for atrocious Swype typos.
There are multiple causes. One being media scanning. It seems to constantly scan for media files and get hung up or something. Theres also a binary file that can cause battery drain. Cant remember which right now.
There are a few other causes but cant remember them all right off hand.

It is the kernel. As long as source is not out for kernel and devs cannot work on it battery will drain.
Yeah I'm testing ics right now and battery life is better. Not sure why, probably some incomplete stuff in the leaked builds that cause drains.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Simply do this test. Grab a jb rom that supports both stock and custom kernel. Check how fast battery drains with stock kernel and how slow with custom kernel. Pay attention to android system how high it is whem you using stocl kernel and how low it is with the custom kernel. So all things the same, only kernel changed, android system goes down meaning it is not the roms fault it is the kernel.
Why is it on all these roms battery life sucks. When I say sucks 8hr is bad when on stock you get 13 to 14. That is the main problem for me. When I first got this phone I was amazed by the battery life. That's a big deal to me. I have flashed every Rom for our phone some have better battery life than other but none come close to stock. Not bithing I love the work that the devs do for the g pro this is more on the line of just wondering why it is like that. I even flashed the official cm same thing . You would think because the roms don't have all the bloat and crap that stock has on it the battery life would be better and yes I have calibrated the battery and let the roms settle still same thing.

U probably forgot to flash the modem after u flashed the custom ROM. That's why it is so bad on battery life. Even so I don't like the cm Roms a lot because I lose some awesome features only the stock ROM has, I do have to say the custom Roms have excellent battery life.

Flash wootever's kernel over unofficial cm and play with the settings. Its actually better than stock. Not by much but its noticeable. Only way I've gotten better battery life than stock so far.

If you want a atock based rom there are i believe 2 already out and i have used both ofthem. They have really good performance and battery life.
You will see a good improvement if youuse the stock based roms here on xda
I was just looking at one. It seems like it is a pain to flash. I don't think that it is like the other ones maybe wrong but I was reading and everyone was having problems.

I've been using Nitrous on his phone with some success but now he's reporting a lot of battery drain in spite of minimal use. Anyone recommend anything else that will be low maintenance and stable enough? I dont see my dad more than every 4-6 months so I want to set it up for him as best I can.
:good: for recs!
Battery life and stability are what I need. All he does is make calls and text.
