I havent found a thread that actually answers this question straight forward. Please dont say search the forum because i have. I just need something to make the best out of my phones battery because i need to go ALONG time without plugging in my phone. Hope someone has an answer for me. Thanks

I have had exceptional battery life using BEASTMod.
Just my opinion

they are all good imo, im currently using gingersnap rom, has the faux kernel and i get over 20 hours of some what heavy use, and so it went with juggernaut, beast mod, and bombardier.
but the faux kernel has proved to be smoother and more efficient imo, perhaps slightly better battery.
hope i could help

I like Juggernaut + Bullet.
I am trying to make the most of my battery by:
-underclocking to 384-16xx
-turning on Battery Saver
-running Juice Defender
Anyone know how to undervolt on Bullet?
I am a heavy battery user. I use my phone all day constantly on Netflix (through Wifi) and listening to music with web surfing. I get about 16 hours on it everyday and come home with 4%-30%. It is very odd on why my battery percentage is such a big range. Screen is on like half the day. I really can not complain about this battery.

I am trying to figure out the best setting on tuner pro for dewizzed 2.0. I am only getting like 6 to 8 hours on my phone. When I've seen others get close to 24 with light to moderate use. The rom is Dewizzed 2.0, and I know the some people have the same rom while using tuner pro. I would ask the dev in the devolpment section, but I don't have permissions to do so. Also Hello everyone in xda. I am a long time visitor since the G1 days. I made this account a long time ago, but recently got tired of touchwiz, and decided to give it the boot lol.

I am running Dewizzed 2.0 with Synergy kernel and using System Tuner Pro, 1.62max 384min, 384max and 192min with screen off and am not UV because Synergy is already UV. Getting well over 21 hours of use, light to moderate usage,
Sounds like you have a app that is using a lot of battery.

Thanks I was looking into Synergy, but I heard there was a noticeable lag with that kernel. Could be wrong though. I really do appreciate your help. Lol. If I'm correct I believe you are a mod here.

I noticed a bit of lag when I first flashed Beast Mod w/Synergy. Try this before you flash, it worked for me and my phone is buttery smooth. Boot into recovery wipe cache 3 times, wipe dalvik 3 times. Then go into advanced, then mounts and storage. Format system. Flash synergy, then fix permissions. Reboot, enjoy. Also Im running zepplinrox's V6 supercharger script. That helps out with smoothness too!

Use faux kernel with fauxclock app. Max 1.5 min 384 then max 384 min 384 with screen off

well the best thing to do for any rom is under volt and min the cpu speed i think ginger snap is good for both kernel and rom

Best battery, bombardier 3.0+synergy V.10 for extra battery life I use juice defender, 1day and change with moderate usage.

Battery life poor except for stock

I give up.every ROM I run just doesn't have the battery life expected. Am I expecting to much? Not even Cauks or blazer el29 doesn't give the battery life as stock.don't get me wrong they are all great roms but at least for my device not battery friendly. I'll post some battery stats from BBS if anybody has some free time to see what's going on. I'm on Cauks el29 now.I format everything before flashing and I use cauks format all many times. I'm on the verge of staying on stock roll my eyes.

Well when is the last time you used stock? And if it's been quite a while...consider having your battery checked out. Anyway, I'll continue as if your battery is fine from here on out. Basically, anything but stock tends to have a modified kernel. Even with all the battery tweaks, etc out there, there's a chance that the kernel itself might not play well with your phone. I'm not too versed in that, but I also noticed that the TouchWiz based ICS kernels/ROMs give MUCH better battery life than AOSP based kernels/ROMs such as CM9 and AOKP, etc. This is just basic stuff you might already know, but yeah, just go on and post your battery stats, preferably with a custom rom and a stock rom so we can see the difference and where it lies. Also, I'm running Touched by a Galaxy S3 on my phone and with moderate use (music for maybe a few hours a day, texting, don't really make many calls) I average between 8.5 and 11 hours from 100 to 0. Another thing I'd suggest is download CPU Spy from the Android market, or something similar if you prefer, and post screenshots from that on the custom ROM; the problem with AOSP and certain other GB and TW ICS roms that i've seen is that something prevents the processor from going into deep sleep mode, usually keeping it at 200mhz or higher. Lastly, when you use the custom roms, do you notice the phone getting really hot compared to the stock roms?

I'm assuming you know this but are you letting the battery cycle a few times before passing judgement? I usually spend a week on a rom before I decide if I have good/bad battery life... attached screenie is normal for me with moderate use on mijjhs goodness rom

I always had faster battery drains on ROMs than stock. I see all this awesome battery stats screenshots but noticed they all share one common factor, only 1hrs to 30min screen use. Come on guys why I would want that battery life if to get it I have to barely use the phone makes no sense to me.
"hey look my awesome battery life, 1d 25min" (35min) screen time" pffffftttt :what:
Sorry for the rant. Had to let it go outside.

Agree, everyone have different experiences, I haven't try that ROM yet, I will test it out later. Have a nice day/night sir.

Sadly I have to agree with OP.
And the previous screenshots at 59% with 1hr, 36 screen on is exactly the issue.
Hard to compare your battery stats with mine since screen on time for my phone will be 4+ hours.
Since there are no standardized testing anyone can do with any rom, any speculation on which rom has better battery life or doesn't is just pure bogus seat of the pants gut feelings.
If there were a standard test that ran like. 5 minutes of mail with 20 mails received, 10 minutes download, 30 mins of playing the exact same video, 13 music tracks of the exact same song all with screen, vibration, brightness, etc all at the exact same level, you could get a real test, but, alas, nobody has a standardized test.
For MY usage, stock clocks in at the same as or better than just about any other rom I've tried, including all the various super scripts out there.
I guess I just overuse my phone!

Also if you use caulks roms flash his under volt script as well. I was using his -75mv script stable. Which equaled amazing battery life.

Things drain battery. This is my test off wifi for the most part using the phone as a phone with average use. Didn't even log in to Google on this one. Just proof that intensive applications, google services, and anything else added after a "factory flash" can manipulate battery life significantly.
Oh, and check out drain when I'm in less than ideal coverage. Noticeable difference. One huge factor to consider when diagnosing battery life.

It really depends on what you're doing with the phone. Obviously having brightness up playing heavy games with Wimax on will kill battery faster than someone on low brightness reading an ebook with wifi on. That said, i agree that I've had better battery life stock than almost all ics roms.

My guide for 18 hours battery life on Jelly Bean

I am here to share my experience to get 18 (around 5-8 hours screen time depend on your usage) hours normal usage, browsing chatting, facebook and calls.
2 days if you are not touching your phone at all, standby.
follow my guide, I think it's all about the Kernel but I shared the rom I used too just in case.
this guide is for GSM, might work on others just download the proper rom and kernel.
Optional, you can underclock to 1ghz but I didn't and got 18 means more if you underclock it.

point 1: when you go to 1GHz , it's called underclocking. undervolting is when you lower the voltage for the corresponding processor frequencies.
point 2: 18h , but what about screen ON ? how much is the "normal usage" equivalent to, in terms of screen ON and the stuff that you're running on your phone.
it's nice to see you trying to contribute and thumbs up for the effort, and i really don't want to sound like an a-hole, but this is not a guide. flashing a custom rom + kernel, and letting the battery go through a few cycles cannot be considered as a guide with battery saving tips. Cheers mate.

You are right, but I learned now ^^
well around 8 hours normal usage of screen time (screen awake), and when I am on a phone call and the screen is off it toke 1% every 10mins
pardon my English

delete this reply cuz I don't find how.

Yah I hate to be that guy but where's the guide? Everyone uses their phone different. You should at least show your battery usage screen shot so we can see screen time etc.

What? Are you telling me that you get 8hrs of screen on time? Is this trolling or just a language barrier?

sorry, I wiped stats but you can study this.
just look at my charge time compared to the times I am using phone, and because it last longer I don't care when its red and low, I was in 5% from 9pm to 11pm chatting from time to time and facebook, and btw my wifi is always on.
and pardon me I am new Xd I am just sharing something not an expert or something but next time I will make sure : it's called underclocking <- I though both are same, and post screenshot and screen on time
EDIT: I think I should charge it to 100% and make it drain then share pics with you guys, that's the proper way for screenshot right Xd? cuz mine looks like a mess XD

Nice XD but I love messing around my phone stock is just... normal XD

Your phone was plugged in multiple times throughout your screenshots. So yes, you should redo screen shots from 100% and include display on time.
It doesn't really matter though, as no one will see your same results unless they use their phone the exact same way.
And under clocking is unnecessary on the nexus, it doesn't spend hardly any time at 1200mhz anyway. I use mine for a lot of game play and still don't spend much time over 691mhz (Trinity kernel). So if my phone decides it does need to ramp up to 1190mhz to remain buttery smooth I'm not going to interfere.

Same here. I have no problem getting 18 hours out of my stock battery using the stock ROM and kernel, including just shy of 6 hours of screen on time.

I dont know that I would call this a guide. Its saying to use a certain rom and kernel and to charge the phone. . . . .

hey thanks for the write up... i used it alone to change the colors! now my screen isn't yellow.
question though... when I adjust my colors manually, when I go to 0 percent brightness, everything goes like super green... like crazy looking lol.. but at 3 percent it's fine again... any idea why this happens and how I can fix it to get true 0 percent? thanks!

I'm using a stock one and all I can say is: Just dont use Nexus as a videogame.
I got 3 days and some hours of battery talking some minutes and using wifi for some time (probably 4 hours overall).
Playing sucks up the battery life. At least for me.
A normal day of use, with wifi active, many calls, auto bright and SetCPU profiles gives me 'bout 18-24 hours of use.
A intense play day gives me 8 hours. And I think its generous.

WHO IS GETTING GOOD BATTERY LIFE ON ICS?? GIVE ROM and tweaks and hrs with use

I am serious about to go back to GB. ICS is sucking in the category of battery life. I need to know what is going on.
I am running Re-Calk 0.1.17 with Agat 4.3 and CPU Sleeper. Took my phone off the charger at 8pm and already down to 85% with it being in nothing but deep sleep. Same thing basically happened on Blazer also.
I need something to keep me on ICS. Someone please tell me what you are using.

I have had the same issue. Ive tried many combinations of roms, kernels and tweaks but I still haven't been able to match calk's 3.0. Curious to see if anyone is getting decent battery life on ICS.

I'm getting good battery on aokp m6 but it also varies widely depending on what I do. if I play alot of games or watch alot of video I have about 10% after a 16-18hr day if I just browse and txt I go to bed between 30-50%. Only tweaks I did was disable the capacitive buttons and led by deleting their files from inside the he folder in /system
We are legion, for we are many.
Sent from the DarkSide of the GalaXy with a MEK device

i use system tuner pro and change the cpu setting power save plus all add all the tweaks

I dunno, whats good for you? I am back on my trusty CM9 Nightly 7/17 which has the FF18 repack kernel which was supposed to be worse on battery life than the FF11. I get 30 hours or so on my days off or days at work when i might check the phone a couple times an hour.
Heavy usage any rom, any android version can kill an E4GT in 3 or 4 hours most days i get 6 to 8 with an hour of 100% brightness screen on time.

I am on the sprint official OTA and I avg around 13 -18 hrs with 5-6 hours screen time....could be more if I wasn't a heavy usage type

2% screen on how many minutes was ur screen on

i think the reason why Calk 3.0 have superb battery life is because the CPU is underclocked at 800Mhz instead of 1.2Ghz

Just my $0.02
I was Super Galaxy ROM for a while and my battery life wasn't ever that great
I had to take my phone in for a signal problem (which ended up being a downed tower that the Sprint rep didn't bother to mention, don't get me started) and so I flashed to GB and then did the OTA update to ICS
I've been getting awesome battery life outta this thing now.. It was a really light use day today, but I'm at 60% after 13 hours (only 1 hr of screen on-time though).. but on SuperGalaxy I would usually be at about 20% of less even with little to no screen time.. (I did love everything else about Super Galaxy though)..
But I've seen lots of people say they got horrible battery life on the OTA... (I did start from a completely clean phone though if that matters)

no clue, i played a bit of temple run, made a few calls, and did a bit of texting

I'm running stock ICS and get the same battery life as GB. I can get 12-16 hours 8 if I'm on the phone constantly reading and browsing. Glad I don't have the issues others have had. At first my battery was pretty bad but it continued to improve over time.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXPLAIN how share your secret

[Q] Battery Life - What are you getting?

I don't know that I've ever seen this explicitly stated by anyone, so I thought I'd ask straight out.
What kind of battery life is everyone getting?
On average, say, per hour, with moderate use how much battery do you lose?
Are you stock or rooted? What ROM and kernel if rooted?
And... GO!
Screenshots welcome and encouraged!

On average, say, per hour, with moderate use how much battery do you lose?
Are you stock or rooted? What ROM and kernel if rooted?
And... GO!

Everyone's is gonna be completely different. Most will post in the roms what they are seeing on avg. There's to many variables that go into that to really narrow things down. Just my opinion on that.

I understand that everyone is going to be completely different, that's the point. The idea is that if people were to post a wide variety of conditions, along with their battery-related results, others can try to tweak their settings closest to what fits their needs.
Yes, it is easily found amongst the forums for individuals ROMS/kernels, but why not put together a one-stop-shop for reference?

IMO better to keep with the Roms/Kernels (Under development) or someone may mistake and try to add something to a rom that doesn't work. Just my thoughts, I understand the goal, and I'm always looking to improve upon my battery life for my use. Haven't had phone a day yet to have any real results yet to mine.. We'll see how the world chimes in on this too tho..
Current: The Peoples Rom, 69% battery remaining, 6 hrs 14 min on bat, 1 hr 20 min screen on. Just to start it off a bit.. Will update this evening.

I'm stock non rooted with fairly heavy useage and Juice Defender free and I'm sotting at about 9 hours and 15% battery

On wifi, about 4 minutes per percent of battery for screen on time + 2 hours per percent for extra screen off time. This is with the screen brightness very low though.
So, about 400 minutes of continued usage or 200 hours of standby.
Odex blue 1.2 ROM, Google Now off, report location in Maps off.

Alrighty, now we're rolling... Here's where I currently stand:
5h45m on battery - 47% left... Heavy use today though.
AOKP Rom, KToonsez kernel - undervolted and slightly underclocked.

Charging my phone now. But yesterday i got 27 hours before reaching 25%
ROM: Stock Jellybean Touchwiz (rooted of course)
Kernel: Ktoonz kernel for touchwiz (using Ktoonservative/noop stock voltages n touch boosters disabled)

I'm stock and can get 24 hours+ with about 3+ hours of screen on time easily. This is with brightness at about 80% and no battery saving options on.

Avg around 25-26 hrs.
SlimBean w/ KT747 kernel
Under -50mhz, UC to max around 1200, cm9 auto bright settings and juice defender
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III

Just a full days usage and still half my battery left. No custom kernel or stuff like that. CM10 and that's it

So this might not be the forum but hopefully someone will take pity on me and point me in the right direction.
As u can see. This bad boy ain't even sleeping. If not for juice defender i wouldn't make it through the day with moderate use. Now I'm in the islands where there ain't much good service to begin with so this might get a Lil tricky. Also i am unrooted. If that helps. I think it's an app but i guess i need to find another app to find the app that's the culprit. Thx in advance.
