Check this out!! Crazy! long battery life

Check out my battery life. Totally ridiculous. Here is my set up. Beast Mod 4.2 with synergy kernel. Using set CPU to under clock to 1.1. Haven't made any changes to the voltage, also I'm not using any profiles. I'm letting synergy do its own thing. The screen off time is unreal. I went to bed the other night at 9:30 with 35% left. I walked out of the house at 5am and had only lost 1%.

So..... Out of 3 days you only used your phone for 3 1/2 hrs?..
My friend.. Please enjoy your phone and recharge when it gets low or whenever you feel like it.

Nice. But yeah you've got this great phone, why not actually use it even if it means charging while you sleep?

Man, even without use you get 3 days of battery?
DAMN THIS LTE RADIO.
I can't do anything more then 2 days without touching the phone more then once every few hours to check the time...
LTE RADIO, WAI U GOTTA DRAIN MAH BATTERY.

I think people are overlooking the fact that he was able to use the phone with 3 1/2 hours display on time throughout 3 days. that's freaken 72 hours... people were saying they get 2% drain every hour... you guys do the math. That's freaken amazing... sooo 68.5 hours of it... even with a few background stuff running... the phone barely drained.
if he was to use the phone throughout a single day it looks like he'll get around 5 hours of display on time maybe more.

That was the point I was trying to make. 3 1/2 screen on time is a decent amount. The screen off drain is amazing I think.

What is the version of your kernel? Is it the same as the one comes with the ROM?

Yes. Its the latest version of synergy.

Using the stock rom, i get the best battery life out of any phone i have ever had. I can use it as much as i want all day and only have to charge it at night.

Hey OP, do you think you could post your other stats? Like, wifi enabled or no, gps enabled or no, brightness, background data, auto-sync, etc? This is amazing battery life by the way

I dont keep wifi, or gps on. Backround data and auto sync are on. I keep the screen brightness 2 clicks from the bottom. Also I have alot of apps frozen thru titanium. Like facebook, twtter, samsung apps, media hub.

i say its pretty impressive coming from a thunderbolt. if i charge that phone to 100% and leave it off the charger over night im lucky to wake up with 40% left. and thats with no use of the phone at all

Thanks for the response, I will have to give BeastMod a try - currently running Bombaridier 3.0. Only problem is, none of the 5 download links on the BeastMod thread are working for me...do you think you would be able to kindly share a download link of BeastMod 4.2? Thanks!

I just came from the Nokia n900

I just came from the Nokia n900 and having so many things working on the phone is a refreshing change! Ive lurked around and read a lot! As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Just disable the power saver in the my account app and use the power saver settings built into the phone, that's what I do.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.

Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!

Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this

Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

No im running at stock speeds

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

Thanks. now i'm having a new problem. My phone will just randomly shut off and I cant turn it back on until I pull the battery. It has happened twice so far

is your phone hot when this happens? try darksides kernel. haven't had an issue.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.

You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

I use 3G Watchdog. It's available in the market. Has a nice little widget as well.

need a new combo - AOKP/Franco Milestones suck

been on it since day 1 both are released cause everyone told me they are the best. when i'm playing games or music, it lags. i click the power screen on button and it stays black until i click it like 5x and wait 30 seconds. battery life is terrible, i get like 3 hours under constant screen on usage which is ridic because i can't even leave the house without it dying
need a new combo

you suck. AOKP and Franco are the best....along with CM team

I just jumped back on AOKP + Franco after trying a ton of different combo's (CM9, Liquid, MIUI, Stock | Leankernel, GladOs, Faux) and this is by far the smoothest + most customize able setup you can have. Try backing everything up and doing a clean restore.

rascream rom + trinity kernel.. cant go wrong with this combo.

Try Slim ICS which comes with Lean Kernel. Just change the launcher if you don't like zeam.
Paranoid Android is a good rom also fn to play around with the dpi settings.
Personally I haven't had the troubles you had with AOKP and Franco. They run fine, I just get bored with roms after a few weeks. Perhaps your problems stem from apps you have installed. Have you tried running CPU spy or better battery stats to see what might be causing your troubles?

If it sucks so bad, make your own

Eh, it's just a trolly kind of day on XDA today.

I just got my GN the other night and first thing I did was put on the AOKP/Franco combination and I really like it. I was a very heavy user on my first day yesterday setting the phone up and all, plus it was the first full day after a nights charge.
I got home after work and I had 30% left after 13 hours. That makes me a happy camper. It can only get better from there as I slow down my usage.

It takes a couple days for the battery to get in a rhythm as well, mine significantly improved over a span of 3 days or so.

Doesn't look like you have anything positive to say either...... so "Gtfo trolls" would kinda be directed towards you as well.

Slim ICS has been REEALLY good for me, but then again every phone is different. I like Slim, Gummy, and Android Revolution HD. Give one of those a try.
Another thing you might want to check is which profile you have under setcpu or in the ROM options. If you have it set to hotplug (where one core is shut down when the phone goes to sleep) then that could cause the "wake up" issue.

Also, OP, I am not fond of Liquid but have heard of a lot of great things about it.

I've had AOKP MS5 & Franco's MS3 for the past couple weeks and I get 3 and a half hours+ screen on time and 24 hours on one charge. Not sure what you're problem is but that combo for me has been the best. Just updated to AOKP 37 btw.

I think that's your problem. I know there are many games that don't work on AOSP because the drivers aren't fully functional or optimized.

Just a quick observation here.
This is a forum made up of people that enjoy their epic 4g touch. When you start a thread called "This phone really does suck!!!!" You might not get a lot of help. Now put your phone down and go outside and play!

The huge problem with nothing ever being good enough is you'll never be happy. Take your phone for what it is instead playing the "find some flaws" game with yourself...there is no perfect phone (if there was, there would only be one phone), if you get a new phone you'll find something about it to complain about just like your current phone...

Sorry... I see these threads all the time & I never reply. But I guess its just a pointless thread so I wanted to put a pointless answer.

They all drain pretty quickly
I think it's less about the right rom/kernel and more about using something like juicedefender or go power management from the play store. They help automatically switch stuff on and off that eats battery quickly.

In my experience definitely not true. At work I have a hit and miss signal. If I leave 3g active the battery drains really fast while the phone is sleeping. Like 10% in an hour sometimes. Turning on juice defender which for me is just disabling data while the screen is off. The battery will not move in the same amount of time. Maybe 1% will be gone.
I believe it is because the phone keeps trying to grab a signal in the weak areas.
Whatever it is there is for sure a huge difference. I have tested many times. Can hardly get through the day sometimes if I leave data on.
The thing I hate about it is a lot of the time the phone takes forever to reconnect so I have to wait every time I wake it.

i use my phone a lot for web, music, calls, messaging, social app, and the best kernel i used and put in my rom (but for maguro) is Trinity Kernel 1344 cpu / 384 gpu Stable35. i advice this kernel . for the rom a stock rooted, busyboxed, deodexed, zipaligned and with useful build.prop tweak for battery life. this has been my philosophy for my rom and i'm very satisfied
