i would try using cm10 it is very sleek and nice and the battery life is fairly good it will last me all day so as long as i charge it at night it is fine
If you want battery life, CM7 is still the bet.

I'm on an incredible 2 with cm9 but am looking into doing my gf's nexus so she can get some better battery life. I already turned off LTE but if she actually uses it throughout the day, its dead by 6. So I'm wondering what the best option for battery life? I seem drawn to Gummy for some reason...

Gummy is known to have some of the best battery life. Liquidsmooth is very good also.
Only reason I didn't try Gummy yet is the official update isn't out yet, the 4.0.4 build. Still in testing.
I'm on GSM tho so idk bout CDMA
Liquidsmooth
I am running liquidsmooth 1.25 and am getting over 2 days - I attached a screenshot
I got very good battery life using AOKP B29, and using LeanKernal 3.1.0 EXP1 180. I also turned off my 4g, and usually have my brightness to the very lowest setting. 4G and the screen are what eat up 90% of your battery.

Happens when you don't use your phone.
Bugless Beast has been the best for me by far. I get about 30% better battery life on BB than with Gummy/Leankernel. My 2¢.

Right, which would show that the ROM itself is good for battery life.

.... any ROM can do good on battery life when you don't turn on the screen.
Also, OP is asking for LTE recommendations and you're on GSM.

The display should drain battery at a consistent rate (depending on brightness, etc) but independent of the ROM shouldn't it? I don't think that the stock ROM's display power draw would really differ from Liquids display power draw. Same thing with the radios...but maybe I'm wrong.
Also, I was simply showing the success that I have had with this ROM - which is notably improved battery life from stock.

Your wrong kinda-ish haha.....some ROMs get better battery life when screen is on. Pretty much fact.
Actual screen power usage like the amount of mah's or w/e, it might be the same across everything.....but it the amount of battery being used by the OS etc...where the ROMs differ when screen is on for the most part.
Hence, I can get like 40 minutes of straight screen usage and 10% on Liquidsmooth and kernel, but only like 25-30 on another setup.
Oh and btw......for the most part, battery life is heavily dependent upon Kernel more than ROM. Though the combination of the two definitely play a significant role.
I have to agree with this. The kernel is what really will determine your battery life and how you utilize the options that the kernel provides. That combined with screen brightness are the biggest factors. AOKP + the Franco kernel have been the best combo for me. For medium to heavy usage I get about 12 hours a day.
Hello,
My battery life hasn't been so great as of lately. IDK if it's ICS or if because my battery is nearing the end of it's life but sometimes my phone reboots and I lose like 30% battery out of nowhere. Is there an app that anyone can recommend to test to see if a battery is still good?

Its kinda an issue with our phones from what i can gather. It seems at 50% or lower it will drop in large numbers when it reboots. I read if u have to reboot to turn on airplane mode before reboot. They say its a fix but i can not confirm.
UnOfficial
Not sure if it's an app to test if your battery is still good but you can test if your battery is bad by taking it out and see if it's bulging on the sides.. Also if you let you phone die alot or alot of deep charges that will kill your battery (its best to charge our batteries as much as possible for long term health)
In the meantime you can grab GSam battery monitor from the market or better battery stats to see if it's something chewing up your battery

Are you stock ics or are you on a custom Rom ?
If your stock ff18 ics, this is as good as it gets. If on custom Rom you may have options to tweak settings and save some batt, custom Rom wise the better ones are near stock, the more bells and whistles custom roms have the greater battery hogs they are.

My galaxy w battery is dying before it reach one year usage! and it is swollen.
What about you?
If you doubt your battery is ok or not check whether it is swollen. This is detectable by feeling and viewing the inside/phone-side of the battery case. Also, when the battery is placed inside/phone-side down on a flat, smooth surface, it will rock and will sustain a spin motion. The case of a healthy battery is flat, and the battery will not a spin easily.
I think the battery quality is low. Isn't it? I've not seen any phone with this horrible battery life! My previous phone battery could last for more than 4 years!
not even a day , 15-16 hours and i had to charge it . I got the phone for 11 months and this is the situation . Using arco's cm 10 beta 1 btw .

Try to undervoltaged your cpu, with custom ROM and kernel which support UV indeed.

I think an updated custom kernel for CM10.1 A2 is really needed now. Sadly the devs are busy
I'm not getting any battery savings from Hurtsky's kernel.

Same here. Samsung batteries suck big time in my opinion. I never had a Nokia battery fail outright in 20 years of using their phones, but my first Samsung phone battery lasted around 9 - 10 months and then started to fail - bulging, inconsistent performance, inaccurate battery level reported (even though battery health was reported as good)
On a new, calibrated battery I can get 30 - 40 hours from a charge under moderate use - when I get round to it I will be buying a spare battery for when this one dies (I do always buy genuine parts) as I have so little faith, and I am now a wiser man to how poor the quality is and what the signs of it starting to die are.
I notice that Sammy don't give 12 months warranty on the battery when you buy a new a phone, just on the handset itself.
My battery life just 3 hours whe I use to browse with 3g connection

Today I saw one of my friend who has a galaxy sII. I asked him about its battery. He was unsatisfied.
The phone itself has a good battery life but the life cycle of battery is too short. When the battery gets damaged battery saving tricks aren't effective.
Now my phone shut itself down even when the battery is above 50%. I'm going to change the battery but I wonder how much will be the life of the new one?
Isn't there any petition to force Samsung to be responsible for its batteries?

cm10.1 is awesome, but cm9 delivers better battery life. i agree.
Stock Firmwire (my brothers phone) around 12 hours
Custom Rom CM9 around 14 hours
Batterylife around 1 year and 3 months
Go cm10 by sir arco and find batur kernel download uv version and then instal and u experience a good batery life )
still stay with arco cm9..good battery life..:laugh:

Me too. Still with CM9 RC2 because of 2.6.35 Kernel, wich is way more battery friendly than the new 3.x kernel. With Arcos stock 2.6.35 Kernel my battery lasts for 3-5 days and with my personal kernel even longer.
Reagarding battery life in general those new generation high density batteries do not last as long as the old low density batteries you were using in your old phones. Most of the high density batteries will last up to 1 year, but that´s it. However now you can get them for about $10, so it´s not such a big pain in replacing them once a year. The old low density batteries did cost twice or 3 times more when you had to replace them. Now they are cheap too, but a few years ago you had to spend much more for such a battery.

What would be the best ROM for battery life? I'm using CyanogenMod atm and the battery life is decent. If I flash Android Rev. would I sacrifice battery life and if so by how much?

Battery usage is completely subjective so what will be awesome for one may be absolute crap to another. Only way you'll know is to try it yourself

As mentioned, battery life is completely up to your usage. Some steps to try though which can be used across any rom is to give Rom Cleaner a shot and to use Greenify. This will rid any rom of bloat that could be sucking up battery and better allow the device to enter deep sleep where the real battery savings are had.
A well optimized kernel would give you some savings as well. I can personally say that on ARHD 5.5 with Elemental kernel .15 I'm seeing about 70% battery left at the end of a normal day. For me though that may only be one 20 minute call and an hour of screen on time. Even when flashing and messing with tons of settings for hours, the phone has never reached a critical battery level for me. I
It's more about the way you optimize (or debloat) your phone , than the ROM you are running. Use battery monitors like GSam or Battery Drain Analyzer and freeze apps that are causing you huge drain. Greenify is also good. Ideally on the M8 you can expect around 6 hours of screen time if you're optimized correctly.

This. I am able to get about 6 hours on stock, ARHD and Insertcoin. With power saver on, that ends up around 7-8 hours of screen time. Coming from a Nexus 5 that got 4 hours typically, I'm pretty satisfied. I'm inclined to believe ARHD will get "slightly" better battery life than CM since it is based off the stock ROM on the M8.
Generally the OEM skinned roms have better battery life and benchmark scores opposed to aosp. Happens all the time on Sammy phones and HTC apparently too. Posts above mine cover most you'll need to know. Its all about optimization and frankly that part is extremely fun and especially rewarding IMO. Gives me an idea for something like a community made thread on different battery tweaks/voltages :good:

I'm currently using Android Rev. 6.1 odexed (using ART atm) with ElementalX 0.10. I don't know if this is a placebo effect or not, but after flashing ElementalX(with default settings) my battery life seems worse :/
