Just wanted to start this to see how everyone's battery life differs.
Please post:
1. What rom you are using
2. What modem
3. And apps you may be using that HELP battery life.
4. Any suggestions for better battery life
Thank a bunch!

I'm running Calks 3.0 ROM with FC24 modem..I also use JuiceDefender which cuts off connectivity to data and such when my screen is off. I usually see 2 days out of my battery with moderate use.

EL29 calk+EL29, autobrightness on in the dark, wifi on. 9hours after charge, 3h display on, 49%.
Use wifi, or if it's not available and the signal is poor, force roaming with something like Roam Control.

Hey all, I need assistance. I'm currently using cm9 beta and the battery life is horrid. I'm also using the Nyan kernel.
Anyone know of a rom/kernel combo that has long battery life and decent performance? Touchwiz or not?

It comes with Shadow so you should be all set. Or you could try Samurai if you like. Lots of people have great success with both.

Most have issues with wakelocks when they try to use their phone the way they want on any ICS ROM. Enjoy everything working and no greens in the super battery sipping The People's ROM. 4 Hours display time with 30% battery left on stock battery....hell yeah! One user reported 50 hours with over 30% left. If your phone prefers Samurai kernels you can always switch from Shadowkernel.

Because I tried all the ICS combos and you can't beat TW for battery life...period! Try The People's ROM for 2 days. I bet you will admit you get close to 50% more battery life. I have 4 emails syncing, LED notifications on, sounds on..all that I want without getting wakelocks up the wazoo.

A process that prevents the phone from entering deep sleep and causing faster battery drain.
You can check for these by using Better Battery Stats.

The wife is on stock EL30. I'm running ICS with Nyon. My battery life absolutely rapes hers, so I'm gonna rule out the TW peoples ROM. On side note, the FB19 modem seems to work nicely with the new PRL update.

If you're on Juggernaut v5, what kernel are you using? I was wondering this because my battery life is crap with the kernel that came with the ROM & I'm not sure why. I use my phone regularly, not heavily but not to lightly. Thanks.

Well I don't have problems with my battery...
And plus you have to turn off some stuff that you don't use to save more battery
Like: bluetooth, wifi, data, GPS, auto brightness, keyboard sound off, keyboard vibration while texting off....
Well I guess you get the point.
Stuff that are not necessary and your not using them at the moment just turn them off

Calibrate battery if that's a new ROM give it a few days. My phone sucks battery no matter what kernel or battery. Just ordered an extended one a few hours ago. Hopefully, by the time i move to the fifth generation galaxy device, this retard battery issue will be solved
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If your are planning to get a battery extension i suggest get the 3000 mAh of samsung this Jan 5th that would increase your battery life up to 49% (i read that here in XDA idk where is it but its true ) and also try TRINITY kernel would be awsome if you done like it you could revert back to lean - its only a suggestion
EDIT:
Is this your 1st battery cycle in this rom? usually that is normal the following charging cycle would be stable from what you expect
Been using this for 2-3 weeks now I was hoping it would improve but I
it hasn't. I'll give trinity kernel a try, thanks.

If you need the extended and a case, look for the seidio active extended. I did about 5 hours of research to ensure i get what fits me best.

Calibrating is useless, its a bunch of snake oil. So don't even bother with that.
Sounds like you need to check for a bad app preventing your phone from sleeping, otherwise flash to stock and re flash.

I went with the qcell extended battery, currently running the Aeonfluxx v6 rom. On heavy use days I usually have 50% battery left. My stock battery didnt last 6 hrs before. The sg3 is my second Samsung phone, and both sucked with battery life.
Try a touchwiz rom bro... might save you some battery. also less widgets, check what apps are running during sleep mode and my favorite
Just carry an extra battery <---- problem solved
