Hey guys, I have been getting great battery life on Calkulin's rom and did lose track of AOS utilization. However, when flashing the EG31 I had paid more attention to my battery life. My AOS usage has been single digits (3%) compared to 35-50% from before. And this is while the phone is in deep sleep or idle. I just wanna know if anyone is still getting AOS bug, especially w/ the new EG31 and Calks' rom.
i second this i love this rom. no more bug great. getting great battery life. spread the word
I never really paid attention to AOS before, never realized it was an issue. Every time I check it, its at 6% or less and that's on Calkulins 1.5a with with eg30. With this rom I have no problems getting home at 14 hours and still have more then 20% charge left. I see no reason to try other roms till CM comes out. There are certin tweaks in the the CM rooms that I miss.
Actually i found the answer. The new outlaw kernel by steady hawkin cuts down AOS. If u go to stock kernel, AOS will be back. There's a trade off between no LOS on stock vs low AOS on outlaw.

I am on Caulkins Rom 1.5a with the included Kernel and the EG31 modem. My AOS has never popped over 2%. Usually two and a half days on a full charge with moderate to heavy use. Completely awesome combo! Plus I dont seem to be suffering the dreaded LOS??

That's where I'm at
Haven't really tested what the implications of the AOS bug are in actual battery life in this situation as I still seem to be doing pretty good

They both claim to have great battery life and smooth operations. I am currently running Calk's 2.0. I get over 10hrs for my phone, depending on the usage. And the standby time is amazing. Now I am interested in Blazer 2.0 but I would like to get other peoples comments and opinions before I try it for myself. So, Blazer Rom[12/11/11][v2.0] VS Calkulin's E4GT v2.0.1a!!!! BEGIN!!! "ding ding".
Please and thanks to all.
Im running on phantomhacker's blazor rom and i get about 1% stand by time. With moderate usage (texting, light internet browsing, like 2 5 min phone calls) i got 1 day and 5 hrs. I could have gotten more but i couldnt afford my battery dieing so i had to charge it at 15%. With heavy usage of streaming music via pandora over wifi non stop, texting, and lots of xda i get about 14 hours with 3 hrs of screen on time. I havent taken screen shots but ill take some today at the end of the day.
Edit: mean 1% every 6 hours on standby

I've tried an older version of Calkulin's rom. Didn't like all the rows and stuff with the apps. It was too cluttered for me but much respect to Calkulin. I can't give anything but love and respect to developers. For me the Blazer Rom is faster and better battery life. The best battery life so far of any rom I've tried.
Lately I've been testing out this technique on calibrating the battery and it works well for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
I tried 2.01. I like everything about the ROM, but it didn't work well on my phone. I experienced worse battery life than stock. With the phone stock, I was having no problems getting through a day on one charge. I think in the time I've had my phone (2 weeks after release) I had to charge it during the day maybe 2 times. Once I put Calkulin's ROM on, I never made it through a whole day, or even close. I suspect the performance tweaks may push the phone to greater battery usage. I was looking for better battery life, not worse.
I had lots of problems with hot boots. If I made a call, I'd get a hot boot after about a minute. If ambient temperature was really cold, I could maybe get 2 or 3 minutes. I got hot boots using various apps, and in some I got none. The phone became unuseable for me. I flashed back to stock.
I suspect that my cpu is not very tolerant of higher temps. YMMV.
I did like the ROM though. I like the 5 buttons on the launcher, the 25 apps in the trays rather than 16, and no CIQ.
Alright guys, whats your opinion: which rom has the best battery life?

Sounds like an easy thing for you to test, doesn't it? Sorry to be snippy, but this is one of many similar threads. No one searches anymore, and there are many threads like this which have "it depends" as the only logical answer.

What roms and kernels have you used and what have you gotten out of it?
What extra apps maybe taskkillers and such do you use or think is good to get more battery?

Bad battery life? Do some searching and read his kernel thread. Battery life has been amazing with his past releases. Build 7.1 are heavily exceptional builds.
Anything before that, yes the battery life hasn't been so good. But now his focus shifted onto the battery. Many people included screenshots of their battery graph.
Aokp also has a power saver mode, read into that as well
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I did run AOKP build 12 for 1 day, and thats how long my battry lastet with nearly no usage at all. The same with eaglyblood all on latest fran kernel, with juicedefender ultimate on agressive setting.
So how can i test and post graphs for you?
What baseband are you on?
Is there any good taskiller i can use?
Dont know what is using so much battery except the screen and i have it on very low always.
I use stock 4.0.2, non rooted or unlocked bootoader, and I find the battery life better than most android phones i've used previously. However, occasionally, it gets low, then i plug it in, and later it's charged again!! As if by magic!! Also i noticed that if i turn it off completely, the battery life is aammmmaaaazzziinnngggg!!! *palms face*
sorry, these battery life threads really get my goat! On a serious note though, one nugget of knowedge that I have taken from messing with android for years is, that if you, like me in the past, have been one of these types that just cannot stop flashing roms left and right, then you will never get to see the full potential of your battery. It does depend of course more on individual usage than anything else, but, settling on a rom of choice and using it normally over the course of a week or so will see you gain an increase in capacity thereafter, just through simple calibration.
Im running AOKP v.13 with Franco's Kernel 9.2 and battery is really great, even on heavy usage. There's almost no batter drain in Sleep Mode (last night ~8 hours, the battery just dropped for 2%).
I've set up my syncs, set up AOKP's Powersave Mode to my wishes and made a ScreenOff Profile for franco's Kernel. That's all, and im still on my second battery loading cycle. Cant wait to see what will happen if it's callibrated well.
With AOKP Rom and its Powersave Mode, you dont even need Juice Defender anymore, its doing nearly the same.
Thank you, i will go back to AOKP in a few days and try build 13, i update you all
My battery holds 1 day 24hours, would say normal use with 2g on when screen of, 3g when screen on, i dont surf on it check facebook maybe 2 times on it, nothing more, text sms and few calls lasting maybe 40min total

How is your standby drain with that setup? 1% per hour? Or less?
Yea, I been using ics ROM FB17 as my daily driver and my battery Life sucks its basically only last me 3 hours of heavy usage until it fully dies.. what should I do?

Upgrade to FC07, or wait for Calkulin to drop FC14 today. FB17 had a lot of wake locks, and some other serious battery draining issues like gps.
Sent from a phone with kNOw CiQ k0nane...
What would yu do? Yu think the drop today will have a better battery life opposed to FC07?
xXHELLBOy91Xx
Well there was a full week of development from fc07 to fc14, so it would be worth the wait if you can hold.off for the rest of the day, Calk should drop it today at some point. If you dont.feel like waiting, fc07 is.pretty good.
Sent from a phone with kNOw CiQ k0nane...
I use FC07. Yesterday after 15 hours of use and 3 hours of screen time it was at 50%. Hope that helps in making your decision.

Hope this helps you decide what to do (or not do).
On MIJJz FC07 ROM and get a full day of use (24 hrs) with between 2-3hr screen on time, not as good as EL29 but not bad at all for ICS
Fc07 is awesone way better battery life and connection speeds im happy now lol

No, great battery life here, be sure to wipe battery stats, and update to the latest kernel.

Which kernel are you using? I'm on EL29 right now
I've been having much worse battery life with 4.0 recently, I'm not sure what happened. I was having amazing battery life before. I've tried reflashing and calibrating nothing has gotten better. It could POSSIBLY be the FC/FB modems killing my battery, I used to use EL29.

I'm running modem ek02 on my phone. I've tired the el modems and ek02 seems to work best on my phone. I haven't tried the fb modems yet. I have also tired reflashing and calibrating the battery.
Same here.I removed about 50 apk's including WiMax apk's(because im on Virgin Mobile) using 7zip before flashing this rom and my battery lasts only 12-14 hours with moderate use.
When i first got my Epic i flashed GB MIUI and i was amazed with battery life,it lasted more than 2 days,and sometimes the battery just would not die,lol.
I want to go back to MIUI so bad but all the devs jumped on ics(to early if you ask me) and GB MIUI doesn't get updates anymore and it doesn't have HW acceleration.But its almost perfect as daily driver.
I chose Blazer instead of Calcun's because it was more clean but im definitely not impressed with battery,i odexed it too.I haven't flashed any kernels or modems with it,can anyone recommend kernel/modem combo for Blazer 4.0?Maybe that will improve my battery life.
I noticed battery indicator is not accurate because my phone will shut down when battery reaches 3-4%,maybe its Starburst theme that i use on it idk.
I'll try to make this as simple as possible.
On VeNuM's GB ROM, I was getting at least a day on my battery, it was fantastic. Modem was EL29 (I believe, possibly 26 though). I could use the phone a lot and it still got good battery life. With the verizon PRL, forcing roaming 24/7, I could almost get two days on it since there was less time it was "Searching for service"
Now on ICS (have done stock, calk, venum), I have been getting dreadful battery life. Take it off the charger at 9 and by 3, after using the phone during my hour commute, it's dead. The place that I work has pretty bad service for sprint, barely hovers at 1 bar if I even have service at all. One thing I have also noticed is that even on stock (and stock PRL), my phone does not seem to roam, at all.
Here was day one on FE22 stock: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwjr5j3nd5vgody/2012-06-06 15.36.08.png

You'll notice that there are a few bumps at the end. I did have it charging on the comp for a little bit before I left work, those are the two spikes. HOWEVER, it also rose on its own. It went down to 5% and then went UP to 6%, staying there for a bit and then going down.
There seems to be something funky going on, but I just dont know what. I'm currently testing what the difference is with the verizon PRL, I have that on there now.
Are there some battery logs I can post to perhaps decode this puzzle?
-----------------------------
Second question. How do I go about downgrading from ICS to GB?
Thanks a lot.
You should try calibrating your battery and wiping the battery stats at 100%. That would speed up the settling in.
I suggest using sfhubs Odin one click package to revert back to GB.

Something is keeping your phone awake. Download badass battery monitor and check whats using up your battery.!
I'll do that right now. I just took it off the charger an hour ago and it's down to 85, just sitting in my pocket. I'll let it charge back up to 100 and then clear battery stats. I'll use it today and if it's still bad, revert to GB.
You look at the pics? They're depressing.
i definitely think you have apps causing wakelocks. try disabling dropbox, facebook and other random programs that sync, same goes for other stuff u may have polling for updates. with exchange syncing every 15 minutes i think i get better battery life vs push. Kobridge tweaks helped a ton.
white signal bars- cm9, the other is stock fe22 w/kobridge
id defintely search the forums for better battery stats (the dev made it available for free to xda users) or badass battery monitor in the market (also free)
I'm on Kobridge aggressive! I tried moderate as well.
Can anyone else confirm the first reply as to how to downgrade to GB? A direct link would be nice as well.

Battery life is not as good on ics and I too had the same the same problem. System monitor wouldn't pick up any program eating up CPU. Took me for a few day to realize I had a bad install. I had to Odin back to el26 and re install. That seemed to fix my problems. Which is my understanding is the procedure one is supposed to take when flashing from ics. So regardless your flashing back GB everytime you flash roms. but might want to give ics another shot when you flash correctly.

Must say it took me several weeks to find the right combination of parts to get my battery right.
I found that several of the newer modems were overheating my phone and draining my battery in a couple hours. Right now I'm running wicked ff02 rom, agats ff02 kernel and fe21 modem. Battery never get above 90 degrees; and yesterday I got an 8 hour day of work with heavy use (no mid day charge).
Edit: I tried venums boa rom, with very good results too. He included badass battery monitor, which seems to be one of the best of the bunch.

I did downgrade back to GB, running Blazer's EL29 rom with verizon PRL right now and from what I saw it was decent, even through the first battery cycle with the ROM. I'll see how it runs this weekend.
If I want to go back to ICS, can I flash straight from EL29 or should I flash the EL26 kernel first and then upgrade?

ICS Battery life
I have been running "Wicked Sensations" now for 4 days, with the FF09 Modem. I also added the FF11 Kobridge Tweaks to the mix using the aggressive zip. I have been getting roughly 15 to 18 hours out of my battery. I keep my screen about 15% on the slider for brightness. I am heavy user and this seems to be the best combination for my SII. I came from Calkulin's 3.0 GB... If you decide to go back to ICS, this combination. Good luck.
