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
Right. So a friend of my friend made me root his phone a while back and I threw mikg 2.52 on it and all was good. Now the guy contacted me today and said his battery life was in the crapper and wants me to change it to something more battery life favored since he isn't by a charger for a long time throughout the day. And since I have been using the new ics roms and jumping back and forth often I don't really know what to give him now.
So what's your opinions? I need something stable as a rock and best battery possible. I need this to last him a while since I almost never see this guy... Haha
P.s. I know people hate these kind of post. Just bear with me here because I'm meeting this guy tomorrow morning and have to know what I should flash for him. Also no aosp please.

You could have him try the one in your sig. It gave me great battery life when I used it, but as always, YMMV. You really have to try them out and see which gives the best battery life for you.
Also could try apps like Juice Defender or similar that aim to optimize battery life.
The only rom i can think of that ive used that doesnt drain your battery would be cm7 or decks gb. Ive used it myself & ive seen good battery life even with my cpu overclocked.
Does it work on viper rom? V2 redline? Thanks! Please let me know
I have the latest MIUI by Swiper, and since 2.2.6, my battery life has been phenomenal with Tiamat kernel 4.1.0, Car-O-Dope tweaks and Vipermod -50.
Phenomenal as in comes off the charger at 6AM and when I get home from work at 5, it's still over 80%

I can confirm this.. ALthough I use 2.3.2 b1 and 3.3.7 sbc kernel as I had some reboot issues with 4.1.0 but yeah.. I'm still at 100 percent at 11:00 am (work at 8).. come home and still at 90. go to bed and hit the charger right above 80. It's unreal.. I consider myself a heavy user too... email,sms,phone calls... etc.
I am currently using Swiper's 2.3.2 b1 with 3.3.7 sbc and have not run into any issues. Battery life is great with this combination for me. Also, keep in mind that I do not run many widgets except an calendar agenda widget.
Myn's Warm series rom's always gave me the best battery life.
i use energy sense 3.5 rom with anthrax kernel. iv had decent battery life w it. about 14 hours or so w moderate use and in and out of roam looking for signal. from what iv read CM7 and MIUI roms are much better with battery life than sense roms. they also seem to be more customizable.

80% at night with heavy use throughout the entire day? I can't believe that. Screenshot? If someone else can validate this, I might try the rom with LEE kernel.

He did mention no AOSP (although AOSP really does have the best battery life IMHO)
Koni's Elite Series III combined with netarchy-toastmod HAVS-less had decent battery life, only issue is that was a Froyo build.
kluster1999: I agree, pic would be awesome.
I don't mean to sound rude, but different ROM and kernel combinations can only make so much of a difference. I'm skeptical of claims of amazing battery life with heavy usage because in the end, the battery is still the same size and the large screen still draws a lot of power.
Been having great Battery life with "The Exress" using" Lionfish more" kernnal and smurfed out....
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.

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.

So I say to the doc "Doc, it hurts when I do this: (runs FB17)"
Doc says "Well, don't do that."
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

yep, same here.

I have been having poor battery life with blazer 4.0 When I leave my phone overnight the battery percentage drops 20-30%. I have been using blazer since 3.x and always had great battery life. My phone is about 4 months old. Anyone else having this problem?

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 give up.every ROM I run just doesn't have the battery life expected. Am I expecting to much? Not even Cauks or blazer el29 doesn't give the battery life as stock.don't get me wrong they are all great roms but at least for my device not battery friendly. I'll post some battery stats from BBS if anybody has some free time to see what's going on. I'm on Cauks el29 now.I format everything before flashing and I use cauks format all many times. I'm on the verge of staying on stock roll my eyes.

Well when is the last time you used stock? And if it's been quite a while...consider having your battery checked out. Anyway, I'll continue as if your battery is fine from here on out. Basically, anything but stock tends to have a modified kernel. Even with all the battery tweaks, etc out there, there's a chance that the kernel itself might not play well with your phone. I'm not too versed in that, but I also noticed that the TouchWiz based ICS kernels/ROMs give MUCH better battery life than AOSP based kernels/ROMs such as CM9 and AOKP, etc. This is just basic stuff you might already know, but yeah, just go on and post your battery stats, preferably with a custom rom and a stock rom so we can see the difference and where it lies. Also, I'm running Touched by a Galaxy S3 on my phone and with moderate use (music for maybe a few hours a day, texting, don't really make many calls) I average between 8.5 and 11 hours from 100 to 0. Another thing I'd suggest is download CPU Spy from the Android market, or something similar if you prefer, and post screenshots from that on the custom ROM; the problem with AOSP and certain other GB and TW ICS roms that i've seen is that something prevents the processor from going into deep sleep mode, usually keeping it at 200mhz or higher. Lastly, when you use the custom roms, do you notice the phone getting really hot compared to the stock roms?
I'm assuming you know this but are you letting the battery cycle a few times before passing judgement? I usually spend a week on a rom before I decide if I have good/bad battery life... attached screenie is normal for me with moderate use on mijjhs goodness rom

I always had faster battery drains on ROMs than stock. I see all this awesome battery stats screenshots but noticed they all share one common factor, only 1hrs to 30min screen use. Come on guys why I would want that battery life if to get it I have to barely use the phone makes no sense to me.
"hey look my awesome battery life, 1d 25min" (35min) screen time" pffffftttt :what:
Sorry for the rant. Had to let it go outside.
Edit:
Btw: this post had nothing to do with the screenshot before this post. Trust me didn't notice it was there till after the post. Lol

Agree, everyone have different experiences, I haven't try that ROM yet, I will test it out later. Have a nice day/night sir.
Sadly I have to agree with OP.
And the previous screenshots at 59% with 1hr, 36 screen on is exactly the issue.
Hard to compare your battery stats with mine since screen on time for my phone will be 4+ hours.
Since there are no standardized testing anyone can do with any rom, any speculation on which rom has better battery life or doesn't is just pure bogus seat of the pants gut feelings.
If there were a standard test that ran like. 5 minutes of mail with 20 mails received, 10 minutes download, 30 mins of playing the exact same video, 13 music tracks of the exact same song all with screen, vibration, brightness, etc all at the exact same level, you could get a real test, but, alas, nobody has a standardized test.
For MY usage, stock clocks in at the same as or better than just about any other rom I've tried, including all the various super scripts out there.
I guess I just overuse my phone!

Probably a good 2 weeks since on stock. I tried all ICS but i just used the kernel that it was packed with.THats a good time frame. What is the best kernel to run with roms?

Also if you use caulks roms flash his under volt script as well. I was using his -75mv script stable. Which equaled amazing battery life.

Things drain battery. This is my test off wifi for the most part using the phone as a phone with average use. Didn't even log in to Google on this one. Just proof that intensive applications, google services, and anything else added after a "factory flash" can manipulate battery life significantly.
Oh, and check out drain when I'm in less than ideal coverage. Noticeable difference. One huge factor to consider when diagnosing battery life.
It really depends on what you're doing with the phone. Obviously having brightness up playing heavy games with Wimax on will kill battery faster than someone on low brightness reading an ebook with wifi on. That said, i agree that I've had better battery life stock than almost all ics roms.
