UPDATE!!! I just installed agats kernel last night at 9p.m and today at 10:00 am my battery life has move than doubled from what it was. The onething I noticed that the Android percentage dropped from 63% to 39% when I reviewed what was using my battery. Anyone else seen this? Agats 2.2 kernel is the one I installed.

I thought it was bad at first but yesterday I got 12 hours and today so far its at 11 hours and 30 min's and is still at 57%. Its only gonna get better cause the OS is still the highest thing draining my battery so its still pulling the stats. I think its good battery life.
Same as flashing any ROM. It takes a couple of days for the battery to settle into the ROM. The first couple of charge cycles are probably gonna be garbage. After a few days you should be fine. Don't worry about all the whiners.
I think people been exaggerating the battery drain.. It hasn't been bad.. Just gotta give stuff time to settle in and stop tweaking stuff and always changing up something... I been having great battery with heavy usage

Personally, I have not had any issues. In fact, my battery life has significantly improved. I am still trying to pin down if it is app or ROM related.
So..... I should go from el29 to ff18?....

What do you mean stock is blotchy but just flashed the goodness? Is ff18 not the latest stock? And is there a good one click to get ff18? I still haven't experienced ics yet. Had a motorola electrify with locked up tight bootloader and was cut of ex gf's plan, got a sprint Samsung galaxy s 2 and flagged it to page plus, now I know the did razr has problems not working on page plus after ics being put on it.... Should I expect same from my Sammy? And looking forward to jellybean

The Galaxy s 2 Epic 4g touch sprint OTA update to Gingerbread EK02 tweaked the battery and kernel like no other. wow.. I advise people revert to stock via odin and just get the OTA.. it updates when it reboots and then says there's an error with the yellow triangle but simply reboot your phone again.

Facepalm...
You used the wrong tar, when you updated, the update failed (hence the yellow explanation point). No worries, head over to the dev section and Odin the modem only in phone. Odin the EG30 modem then flash the ek02 modem in RECOVERY. Or since eg31 is working for you, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I bought a spare battery from Amazon for like $15. Fits in my wallet. On a related note, it may be a placebo, but rebooting after unplugging seems to prevent the Android OS bug.

I've noticed worse battery life too. LOS was not much of an issue for me and with vipers Los checker I never noticed a LOS. Im going to play with ek02 for the rest of the next week but if I don't get any better results I plan on rolling back to E30.
Ok, I just want to see if anyone else is having this problem. Ive found that tweetcaster on any ICS rom ive tried seems to cause major heating. I know ICS leaked builds have had this issue in general, but I just want to know if anyone else is encounteering the same problem.
Cpu usage gets to about 47% and then the phone will get super hot, and then of course battery takes a nose dive. I hate to switch twitter apps, but its the best one out there for most. any input from people that are using it.
oh yeah follow me on twitter lol @yungjuice216 haaaa
Haven't had that myself, but if it helps i really like Plume(switched to it from tweetcaster). Hasn't caused issues for me on fd26. Sorry

True that! FF18 got old real fast I had to roll back to EL29. Breaks my heart that Jelly Bean has been released and we are still struggling to get a solid ICS update I did read reports thought in in android 5 google is considering an update model similar to windows and to bypass carriers and allow the pushing of updates directly to device. This should solve our fragmentation issue but who knows...

All software always has bugs, by the time we even get FF18, Samsung would have had over a month to whip up a patch.

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

If your S3 didnt come from your service provider with 4.0.4 installed on it, you might want to look at it closer. Does it say Galary S3? Or Reverse Engineered in China?

If you're running a custom kernel you're gonna run into issues like that. Samsung hasn't released the kernel source code for it to make a proper kernel....

Honestly on stock I was losing 2-3% an hour on standby from the get go (even had google now and motion disabled) Flashed the Jedi 4 pre rom 3 days ago and now steadily lose 0.5 to 1.0% an hour on standby. Could just be me, but I'm getting much better battery life than stock now!

Quick question. What link did you use to root your phone. The one from chainfire or the other one from mskip.
Sent from my SGH-T889
Stock with bloat... but I froze it. Then again, bloat has nothing to do with battery life, I just didn't like the icons in my app drawer, lol. I uninstalled the games that came with to free up additional space.
I have yet to see a single ROM that comes close to stock screen times or battery use screenshots. To be honest, I don't see the need for ROMs currently. Most people could do more with a launcher.
Yeah I feel ya. Kept going back to rooted stock, always seems to be better for some reason!! Anybody know why

I think it's because Samsung bolts down a lot of their code, and it's very difficult to get everything working well once you start tinkering with it. From what I read, a lot of ROMs would fix one thing, and break another in the process.
