Is anyone else experiencing major battery drain on the latest leak of ICS? If so, what have you done to improve battery life? All I know is battery life was great on GB, and this is with heavy use, but now its really bad. I need to have my charger with me at work because it dies in about 5 hours.
Also, I noticed Facebook will not allow me to post status updates in native app, but if I have a widget, I can post from the widget with no problems. Is there a fix for this, or do I just have to wait for Facebook to be ICS compatible?
Thanks in advance.

Are you running a stock FD02 with stock kernel? Battery life seems the same as FC24 and better than FC22. It is a bit worse than GB but its not really done yet so I cant complain.
A long time ago I found facebook app to be a huge battery killer. This was on another phone and 2.2 so maybe its improved since then but I doubt it. Quite frankly if you can live without facebook all together your quality of life will improve.
does the rouge fc22 kernel gives a better battery life? im tempted to flash it and see how it works? anybody has tried it. Im on calks 1.4 rom

Modems are phone-dependent. Someone may have great speed on FC22 but someone else may not even have 3g on the same modem. You have to test yourself. I get best battery on EL29, but with my last E4GT I got better on EL26.
I have tried a few ics roms and battery life was worse than gb on most and i think that is expected. Ive been rumming venum's AnaKonda rom and i am currently at 37% after 16 hours of medium use.
Edit: fc24 modem and dazednconfused theme.

Here is the situation, I appreciate any feedback. I'm running Remptive Revolution with the Distinction 1.49 theme on it, I flashed over to one of ziggy's kernels not too long ago and it seems like it rips my battery up. I usually have it around 1.15 on demand in SetCPU with profiles set to 384max when screen off, and 768 max when below 50% and 691 below 30%. It seems like the original ROM kernel was wicked fast but I didn't get a good chance to test out the battery life. I've tried a few different kernels and I'm considering going back to one of the Hydra kernels, I feel like they haven't done me wrong. I'm just looking for a good solid kernel that will give me solid battery and good performance, I know I won't get the best of both worlds, but I'd prefer good battery life. Also, pro/cons/purpose of wiping battery stats? I can't seem to find any info about it.
I really like chads kernels. His newest one an oc to 1.113 and is faster then any other kernel ive ever used with really good battery life. (ive only tested the battery life at stock speeds.) And the purpose of wiping battery stats is to let your phone recalibrate the battery so basically you can get the best battery life. ( i believe at least)

Installing now. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have an update later on and we'll see where we stand.
The reason I'm hesitant to use KingKlicks is because of a constant bootloop I ran into. And Ziggy was just cool, got some really good quadrant scores on it, but it just ran through battery like nothing. Anyway, thanks again! I'm excited!
I've been using Heyitslou new kernel and battery life is the best since I've owned this phone. I'm also using his Redemptive Revolution ROM.

If you use aosp roms then I would go with invisiblek #17. It's the best that I've found thus far.

Best kernel i have used by far for cm6
I wiped battery stats a few days ago in recovery, and literally every app on my phone started force closing. I had to restore from a backup, and when I did, every app acted like it was the first time I ever loaded it. Had to set up EVERYTHING again. Do as you will, but the ONLY thing I did to cause that garbage was wipe my battery stats. I'd love better battery life too, but I think the software should be capable of relearning your power cycle of a battery if you replace the battery. Can't stay one way forever.. or at least it shouldn't.
does anyone know where I can download KXK #3 or one of his other kernels? I have tried to find them on this site and the ROM manager. Even google's top results are just sending me to theads about the kernels but none have links to the kernel itself. I am going to try using it to get my battery life extended since I really don't mess with my DINC much besides angry birds (addict for life).
Thanks,
JrdnThms
There is a kernel thread floating around here somewhere it has them. I'm on my phone so I can't link but its called the official kernel thread I believe

Right now using caulkin 1.5a and stock kernel 1.1. No Los but battery drops so quickly it seems.
Caulkin 1.5a Bare Rom and Rogue Renegade kernel is giving me awesome battery life.
Stock kernel no Los and best bar life but rogue outlaw comes close.

This for me. Just make sure to calibrate.
Calkulin's and StarBurst are both nice ROMs, but StarBurst has been the most stable with best battery life for me.
Funny, this combination drained my battery quickly until I replaced Rogue with stock--now battery life is great. Rogue had worked fine before the most recent Calkulin update. If you have problems I think you need to try the available options or reflash.
Before switching to a different ROM or Kernel, I always go back to stock to make sure I have a clean starting point. This is so easy now this is available > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
I am not saying this will solve every issue but its worked well for me. There really is no reason why a certain config should work fine on one device but not another.

I love starburst but battery life winner goes to Calks rom. V1.5a can last me all day with 50% left.

that is now incorporated into my flashing routine as well. Takes about an additional 15 minutes but well worth it in my eyes.

Yeah caulk use to be awesome. Now I'm getting bad battery drain. About 3% since turning my screen on navigating to this Page and replying back.
Going to flash stock tonight and reflash.
I can easily get a full day of heavy use when off charger with calk's rom. Which is nice to know. I might just pick up another battery to have just in case but coming from the Evo this phone is light years ahead with battery. I suggest flashing stock tar and pit file as part of your "wiping" routine.

Yeah I use to also but last two days its been relatively bad. Definitely flashing stock.
What about this one on battery life as well as signal extra...
EpicAOSPmodv2.5.1
I UV the cpu and GPU on stock EG31 kernel
after flashing starburst 1.9.5 battery life was great but then getting worse
I had great battery life after flashing starburst ROM 1.9.5 and calibrating, but after a couple of weeks battery life has become 50% worse. What could be the cause of something like this when my settings haven't been changed?
running lostKernelExp+
i installed badass battery monitor and it appears that the application "kernel" is responsible for 30% of my battery life. when battery monitor shows "kernel" is it referring to lostKernelExp+?
Calkulin vs Phantomhacker
Calkulin 2.5 vs Blazer 2.0
which has the better performance/battery life?
I am currently on calkulin 2.5 with the el13 modem. But I like how blazer looks like ics. I have used older blazer roms and they were ok. But im looking for others opinions. Thanks =)

I used Calkulin 2.5 for a day, i just switched to unnamed 2.0.1 and I'm LOVING the set up, seems to be a hair smoother i noticed and very responsive. I could be wrong but it also seems to just have better battery life in general. I'm just using Rogues Kernel for EL13.
I think i might try desperado tho, every says its really good and result in amazing bat life.
So your "setup" will be "UnNamed" ROM, EL13 Modem, and the Desperado kernal?
i was going to make a thread like this for el13 Im curious too im running calks 2.5 never tried blazer or unnamed this is my first rom
i want something that has good battery life without sacrificing speed and performance
I haven't tried unnamed, but between blazer and calk's, both have outstanding battery life. I'm coming from an OG evo so I'm easily impressed with not having a 10% drop after browsing through xda for 10 minutes... In all seriousness though, I go all day with moderate to heavy data usage (mostly wifi) and have at least 40% left before I crash and plug it in. I couldn't really tell a difference between the two- both are fantastic in my opinion.

Been running Calk's 2.0.1a for a week on Rogue 1.30 and with heavy workday use it goes from morning to evening and still left with 25% - 30% left after 10-11 hours.
On weekend use with WiFi it goes a day + easily.
My old EVO 4G would be lucky to get half that battery life. The Galaxy SII really is a major improvement in battery.
They say the S3 will be even better for battery, but be thinner with a high res AMOLED+ screen.

I'm not feeling the EL13 leak....just doesn't seem as smooth and fast. Even Calkulin's release. I've been running all his roms, but the latest, meh... On 2.0.1a right now and loving it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
My first full day on calkulin's 2.5 rom and I love it! Battery life is great, I've got 10hr on battery and 53% left.
i ran calks 2.5 for a couple of days..it was ok but no where near as responsive as blazer which i put in yesterday and as for battery life I cant say anything since i just put it in
UnNamed, EL13, Rogue. My battery life so far is pretty darn good with active use of txting and listning to music, unless i crack out GTAIII for a couple of hours......
quick question
i know its recommended to flash a rom at 100% for the best battery, but is it just the same to flash it at lets say 30%, fully charge it, then just wipe the battery stats?
thanks guys

i wanna try TDJ's ICS rom, i haven't tried the new leaked base yet but a lot of people are saying TDJ's rom is daily driver status so i might hop on.
i think somewhere i read TDJ himself say the battery life is on par with GB

I agree,
Ive flashed with my battery from 30-50% on a number of occasions and still got great battery life.
it doesn't really matter what your battery is at when you flash something (as long as there's enough to get you through your first boot anyway). probably don't get a good indication on a new rom's battery until at least the 2nd or 3rd day. and wiping battery stats has been repeatly reported as a waste of time though. doesn't hurt anything but doesn't accomplish anything either.
I have found that out of all the ROM's Ive tried, even the latest JB ones, that the ones with the best battery life and stability were Blazer and Calks 3.0. Those of which are on Gingerbread. So, am I the only one that thinks or agrees to this? I might not be "up to date" but my performance is damn good! =)
must be
What little extra battery life I'm not getting on FK23 & FL16 compared to GB is not worth all the extra goodies I would have to live without. For me GB is boring and the tradeoff is more than worth it.
Have you tried both the TW JB and the AOSP JB roms?

Haha, you're not the only one. After DD'ing Jellybean leaks for the past 25 days, I flashed back to my Calkulin nandroid backup for its awesome battery life. . I got the best Jellybean battery life on fl16 (3 hrs 45 mins) but it can't compare to the ~6 hrs on calkulin. I'm just gonna wait now for the ota Jellybean + source before I try it again.

Probably not the 'only' one. But in these parts XDA Developers you will certainly be in the minority.
By it's very nature these forums are for those looking for the latest greatest and bleeding edge technologies and tweaks.
The latest JB builds are awesome. Good battery, hotspot working natively (so far). Stable. Google Now natively. More responsiveness. Nicer looking and more customizable. I get about 14+ hours with fairyly heavy usage - my cell is my phone for work and home.
Yes these forums do provide some great stuff for the 'regular joe' but that's not what the forums are here for. We try to work together to get the most out of the devices as possible. That usually means functionalily and features 1st, performance 2nd and battery 3rd. I do know that there are some devs who may change those orders but that is usually the case.
I have always been amused by the 'how long does your battery last' crowd. While I think any phone should last at least a day with a good battery and reasonable usage I think it's silly to 'demand' more. It's 2012 get another battery (or external battery for emergencies) for backup, grab more chargers - I have one in all cars, home office work office and laptop bags.
Just my two cents.
Have you tried replacing your battery ? I just bought 2 new ones from Anker and my phone is getting better battery life and I'm running FL16 JB. I am delighted with the purchase and wish I had done it sooner. Here's link and read up on them as well.
Anker battery for D710
Good luck
Personally I use CM10 on my phone, but on my mate's phone, it's running Blazer's 4.1 GB sheerly because of the WiMax speeds. If I didn't love flashing the latest and greatest, I would've stuck with GB too.
From my experience, nothing beats calkulin's 2.8.1. I wanted to like more current roms, but even with underclocking, ics and jb chug the battery. People can ask or claim that your battery is bad. If the battery is bad then why can I get about double the battery life out of calkulin when compared to more recent roms? Same battery, twice the run time, practically no lag or noticeable performance hit. I was halfway through my second extended life battery during a normal shift at work with ics and jb when going home when I'd be around 20% with calkulin gb on the first battery. I'm not saying everyone else is wrong in their preferences, but to me, battery efficiency without noticeable CPU hit means everything. Other builds seem sluggish and battery hogs to me. Don't get me wrong, there's some cool features with new builds but the trade off of battery isn't worth it to me. It's a damned shame calkulin moved onto other pastures. He definitely knew his $hit when it came to tweaking rooms and I like his choices he took in his earlier builds with this phone.
I think if calkulin and bugless beast Pete got together, their rom would be damned near bulletproof. Peter Alfonzo.
Pacman ROM has amazing battery life for being JB. Plenty of customization tweaks as well, I used to only rock blazer 4.1 as well but some of my apps got updated and now require to be on ICS or JB based ROM.
