ICS Battery Life - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

am I'm the only one losing a massive amount of battery lilfe everytime I restart with all of the ICS Roms be it AOSP or TW?

Because its a alpha/beta/leak using outdated kernels/modems from gingerbread?

Had the same problem. Most processors and radios have low power modes, they are somewhat complex to implement and I suspect Samsung hasn't gotten to it yet (or finished it).

As far as I know, this is normal for a lot of Samsung phones regardless if you are on gb or ics... It happened when I was stock on my phone (for the first two hours lol) and my woman's og epic... It seems to even itself out after awhile.

No unnamed Rom battery was twice as better as this ics but it will take some time to tweak the kernel and Rom we just have to wait.

on CM9, if you install setcpu, and change your governor to on demand or conservative, your battery life goes up big time..
can't speak for these FB leaks, as, I am not going to install them for awhile..

Are my smartbench scores unusually low?

My scores are around half of what the program says is average of the epic on 2.2. I'm running epic experience 2.0.07. Is it normal for me to have such low scores?

Damn that is low. Did you try killing all processes before you ran the test?

it does seem low, but i havent checked out EE to see what kind of tweaks he's made. pretty sure he converted to the Nexus S too so i'm not sure how much devving on the epic he's kept up with.
try a different ROM like quantum or bonsai, those perform really well. but i feel like i always notice that i get MUCH better scores on a clean install than when i restore all my apps and data, being that most apps run background processes and will eat up RAM. might even compare on a clean install on EE see how that affects your scores.
Yeah they are low.man I would try flashing another rom. I'm oblong bonsai now v. 2 and its really fast.

Yeah they're low. Compare your smartbench scores to some others here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907111
Amosher i took your advise and went to bonsai it works great.

Best JB ROM for Verizon Nexus

Hey all, my girlfriend wants better battery life on her Nexus. What ROM and kernel do you guys recommend?
Tell her to try it for herself. Every phone is different, thus they react to ROM differently. Only way to find best ROM is to try all out.
I would personally start with something popular, like AOKP, cm, and code name
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
In before the lock.
good day.

Slowly?
I recommend just leaving her phone stock and not touching it. Otherwise you'll have to do everything phone related for her.
Maybe she should adjust her settings (sync time intervals), extended battery.
But.... CM10 + Franco or trinity.

Stock JB with leankernel if you want some options, otherwise just stock JB.

OP no one uses their phone the same as your girlfriend and therefore cannot tell you what will get the best battery life for her. All ROMs are the best but every user and every phone react differently to every ROM and kernel. You will need to try for yourself or herself.
Thanks

I'm rooted with jellybam v7.0.0 with bms kernel. I'd call my usage about medium. On my e4gt I could get 20+ hours of battery stock and unrooted. Why is my battery life so poor on the s3? It's actually frustrating. I have it set to underclock at 192-192 when screen is off and it's undervolted -25mA at every clock speed. My brightness is always on like 15% no matter what. I only have my data turned on when I'm using it, that's it. I don't even have any game apps installed. My screen timeout is 30 seconds. Anyone have any ideas here??

Wake locks maybe? Get a battery monitoring app like Better Battery Stats (you can get it for free here on xda)

Anthrax on clean bean 2.3 with cross breeder. Some Wi-Fi, data always on. Auto brightness.
Updating to 2.7 when it drops since I already have multi window.
Also use Bluetooth to stream audio, and gps&sync on.
Oh. And I'm completely debloated. Makes a sizeable difference.
Used a safe to remove list found some where here.

Modems and what's the difference

I'm trying to find a list to each modem and what's the best for me.Is there a list of what each contains some where?Thanks for any help.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 4
this is so good
The difference is in the code... There is no change log that I have seen so the only way to find out is to try (every area seems to be different so looking at the code wouldn't really provide you with any answers anyways). JB modems generally offer the best data speed but they can only be used on TouchWiz Jelly Bean (4.1.2)

Another question could modems effect battery as in each one would search for data signal differently?

Not really anything that would be noticeable
Poor signal = poor battery life.
If the phone is constantly searching for signal, it will affect battery life. This is why I leave wifi always on and connected if possible wherever I am. This only affects data polling of course but it still helps.
There aren't really many choices for Jellybean modems but if you are running a rom that lets you use ICS or GB modems, there are a ton of choices and it is trial and error what will work best for you in your area.
I'm using EG31 I thought about experimenting with others.

GB27 has always been way better than anything else for me, that's why I stay on TouchWiz

What kind of battery life should I be expecting on a custom ROM?

I just got my Optimus yesterday and it's up and rooted with the latest bean stalk. Compared to stock, what kind of battery life should I be expecting?

What tomi001 said.
If you're looking for above average battery life, the the W0008 MIUI producer edition.
Sent from my Carbon LG-E980
It depends on if you are running a custom kernel, and what all your settings are. There are many tweaks you can use such as Greenify & System Tuner Pro (to turn off your phone checking into Google all the time). There is an excellent kernel over in the General Forum. I run BeanStalk as well with TricksterMod. I posted some battery stats the other day running Lionheart Governor and Sio Scheduler. I had around 14 hours on a charge, which is excellent considering the amount I use my phone.
Btw, @Neroga definitely knows what he is talking about so I'm sure the MIUI rom is awesome as far as battery life goes.
