OK just flashed aokp b31 a few days ago and I gotta say, holly battery drain Batman. I have a HTC extended battery and on stock unrooted rom I would get almost 2 days of light usage out of it. Now with aokp b31 I've had it on light use for the last 2 hours and I went from 100% to 85%. Anyone have the same prob? If I can't fix this, it will be reason enough for me to switch roms.

Use aero's kernel

I also see a bit of a drain with aero's kernal and Juice Defender going. Nothing horrible, but not the two days with Skyraider.

Well, i'm running build 31 also and juice defender and i get 2 days out of my battery, thats a stock battery,not extended. sounds like a new battery is in order, also using kernel that came with rom.
Sounds good guys, I'm new to the Inc 2 and still learning what normal behavior is for everything. But gotta say, it beats the snot outta my Droid x2 all day long

Pics or it didn't happen... If you get 2 days you must never do anything with your phone.

Wiping battery stats has more or less been debunked with regards to "improving battery life" - https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
I will say that AOKP doesn't get as good as unoffical, but I thinks its do to the theming in AOKP. I have the weather app in the lockscreen and I have it set to refresh every 30 minutes. Anyone now how stable the power saving feature is in the ROM Control? I wonder if it even works with aero's kernal.
I've noticed my battery life to be bad only when my wifi is on. I have it set for 'Always On' so I know that may be why, but I went 2 days every time I was sick at home with wifi set to 'Always On' with the stock, Andy Bonestock ROM. Is it HTC's kernel? I had the same issue with OMFGB, too. Could this be the culprit?

Yeah i suppose your right i don't use the phone accept to flash roms-get phone calls make calls and text once in awhile, i'm just an old retired fart ya see
At least you're in Pittsburgh go steel city
its been 3 days since i rooted my phone for the first time due to battery life issues. the first day my phone lasted for 10 hours. after a full discharge and full charge I've been experiencing horrible battery life again on medium usage. only getting 6 hours of battery life. what do you guys think would be the cause of this??? everybody is getting better battery life and mine seems to be horrible still. I don't have any out of the ordinary apps running either. do you think i need a new battery?

I have never found juggs to be a battery friendly ROM. It's a power ROM. Better for gaming, shooting live video etc. If you want the 15 to 20 hour battery some are getting then switch over to darksides ROM DIGITALWARFARE. It's powerful enough for gaming just not like juggs.
Also usage plays a roll to. If your gaming for 4 stright hours don't expect the phone to last that long because no phone will. Running Juggs with darksides kernal is kinda doesn't mix.

Download 2x battery from the market, it's done wonders for my phone and i use it with any rom i flash. Not to mention i ran that same setup for quite awhile and the maximum time out of a battery i've gotten comes using juggs 5 and v1 darkside kernel.
I'm running Juggernaut 5.0, with Eugene's Streamline kernel. I'm getting about 17hs. I'm also OCD, so I play, and tweak every setting possible. I game a lot, and usually get about 6-8 with that. It depends on a lot of factors though. I agree though, it's kind of an oxymoron to use Darkside kernel with that rom. They kind of clash.....I guess you could say, as far as battery goes anyways. I had the same issue when I used that kernel. Just my experience anyways. There's a lot of setups you could go with, so. Best to just test everything once, till you find your happy place.

unfourtunately im seeing no results. i got about 6-7 hours still on decent amount of usage. i even went ahead and purchased the extended battery from nexus and im still seeing no improvements! im pretty sure its not a rogue app because i barely use any apps. im even using apps like 2x battery to try to get more juice. anyways i just wiped and installed digital warfare last night. just unplugged my phone at 100% lets see how this goes. ill report back.

what are you using? are you experiencing poor battery life as well?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Your battery life also depends on a number of other factors as well. Do you have animations on or off? If they are on, turn them off. What brightness is your screen? I turn mine all the way down. How many widgets are you running? I don't use widgets. Is your phone constantly syncing with Facebook, Twitter etc? I only turn my sync on for Gmail and Google. Is your GPS on? I have mine off at all times. Do you stream a lot of music/videos? How many programs do you have running in the background? I make sure everything is closed or off except for the programs that need to be on. If I need to use a program/app I will open it, I don't need it constantly running shortening my battery life. Etc Etc.
I also recommend using the app Juice Defender. Yes it runs in the background at all times, but, it greatly improves battery life. I use it all the time and it's fantastic.
I typically have my phone on for 15-17hrs a day and by the time I go to bed I still have over 50% battery left. I am currently just on a stock ROM and not Juggs, but my results with Juggs were around the same as well, even with the Darkside Kernel. Peace

+1 I don't use juice defender on my device since I am happy with the battery life I get so far. However, I have Juice Defender on my wife's SGS2 with custom settings and her battery life has improved a lot. Before her phone would only last 10-12 hours with moderate use. Now she gets over 20 hours with the same usage.
Use tdjs ROM

I'm using aokp now but I found this to be the best setup for battery for me.
I recommend you try this and see if you still have this issue.
Juggernaut + synergy + juice defender on aggressive mode = awesome battery life.. awesome enough for you to have multiple MiniBaths. :banghead:

I flashed calks 1.6 the other day and noticed big battery drain. I reflashed today just to make sure. Drains about 20% an hour in my pocket. As soon as I start using it, it drains so fast i can watch the percent countdown lol. It dropped 20% posting this. Its also charging weird. When I plugged it in it was at 65% and in 20 min it was full. This is very odd because I used this rom many times and it had great battery life. Anyone else experience anything like this on their E4GT ?

Must be a bad battery, how long have you have your battery? also have you removed battery stats?
Try using phone at maxxed out power until it drops to 0% then recharge battery until full, I recommend overnight.
And get back to me...
I don't think its the battery unless it went bad overnight lol. It was fine the other day. Something weird happened a few weeks ago i dont know if it has anything to do with this but I flashed a rom that I had flashed before many times (phantoms blazer ics) and it aborted the install. I reset my phone with sfhubs one-click , formatted it,
And tried flashing a new rom and same thing. I posted about it in Q&A and no one really helped out too much. I tried everything new downloads, new kernels you name it I tried it. And it still happened, everything I tried, to flash got aborted on el26. It was so odd cause it was doing it to old downloaded roms and the el26 I've been using since ics . I could flash a gb rom in el29 but as soon as a flashed el26 and tried flashing something it would happen again. The only thing that would flash successfully is calks format all (every time)So I got frustrated, and i stayed on stock rooted el29 for a week or 2 since no one would help. The other day I figured id try again off a fresh reset and new downloads, and it went fine, I flashed a few roms but decided to go back to calks 1.6 . And now the battery issue ? Should I wipe battery stats? I don't really know what that does. Btw I reflashed and it didn't solve anything, still draining. I will try running it down and charging overnight. Any other suggestions?

Did you flash back to gb ?
Or flash another Rom but imo its probably due to an app installed that's not ready for ics
only thing I can think of is I downloaded the T.5.3.0.32 VVM for ICS. The one I downloaded is supposed to safe for ICS. You think that could be draining my battery?

Time to upgrade to a released rom....
Calk's 1.6 is based on old, unreleased code and isn't supported. Calkulin has moved on and no longer dev'ing for this phone.
I would like to but I liked that rom for its stability and battery life, but my question is why is my battery life bad now. Ive ran this same rom (same download) before and it was great. Why the bad battery life all of a sudden?

What's your "Screen on" time? I usually get 30-36 hours using stock kernel on V8. Have you cleared cache/dalvik? Also, check to see if you have any runaway processes by going to Settings > Battery and seeing what's eating up your battery power.
You can always try another kernel also. I run faux's kernel and I love it.

This is my battery life on the ROM
Is it better on other roms? If not, maybe bad batter, but if so, first you need to start fresh with this rom and wipe everything and start over. It should not lose 12% with only 4 minutes of on screen time.
Here's my battery stats as of today. Mind you, my ROM is really debloated.

Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

haha! and I thought I was the only one... I see people who are getting 15-18 hours on ICJ...
I also get terribly low battery backup... even though battery is calibrated.. Sync off... Auto Brightness.. etc etc...
However, on sense roms I get great battery!

I would suggest a faulty battery, I use mine for twit and fb too and a whole load of other stuff but i get a lot more than 3 hours. I am on slimbean 4.2 now but I have tried cyanogen 10.1 and icj, both of which gave me similar battery life to slim, although neither of them could equal slimbean they were not as bad as you are experiencing

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim

I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...
Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..
There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor!
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot
