{PRO} [Q] Is this normal battery life? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been mostly using stock gingerbread on my Xperia Pro and thought the battery life was pretty ok. It lasted at least the whole day. Now I'm using Jelly Sandwich with and it goes from 60% to 30% in just over an hour with no wifi, no 3g, no SIM card,screen on full brightness. That's alot of drainage to me, but I want to know what you get on ICS?

Nope thats not normal, flash another ROM if your not satisfied with Batt Life

guy, maybe the it is a normal case of rom's first use, just recharge your phone and check....

Allright, would be cool to see some comparison of all the roms and the battery life. Wich stock based kernel do you think has the best battery life?

yes, thats possible... but I think maybe the app I use to test battery life (nova battery tester) is running some stress to make it drain faster as well, not sure. I will continue testing

Thanks! tried the lupus kernel and it seems good, but not working on lates jelly sandwich 7.4 though. I just compared ArcKnight and stock kernel and ArcKnight has better battery life.

[Q] best ics rom

what is the best ics rom with better battery life?
Paranoid android the working one
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
I found CM9 runs well but my only issue with it is the battery drain and lack of camera.
RemICS 1.3 without fix i think is the best, almost 18 hour and battery still about 20%, but the last one not very stable, n the battery not really good too
Battery life should be the same on all ICS roms because they all are based on arco's CM9.

Ummm, shouldn't it be similar but not exactly the same I mean when I use paranoidandroid and CM9 both of them drain my battery alot more than the GB custom ROMs but CM9 drains less then paranoidandroid. Not sure about remICS since I haven't tried it yet.

Hi,
This is my first post. For me the alpha 4 from Arco is the better.

ROM is killing my battery - Suggestions on a solid ROM?

Is there a current ROM that is rock stable and offers good battery life? I don't mind if its JB or ICS but battery life is really important
Actually roms do not affect battery life, the responsable of battery dains is the kernel, in my experience I have tried only stock ics (rom and kernel) and battery life was decent, then I switched to miui with air kernel and with this kernel I have the best battery life for my use. You have to try different kernes and its setup because every user has different tasks to do with the phone.

Kernel is probably the cause of the battery drain, not ROM

try whichever you want:

as mentioned above
im very happy with franco's kernel ...you should try it...its stable and gives a great battery life
plus the all the cool options
IMO the best ROM isn't listed on this website. It is CodeNameAndroid. I know it is a ROM full of controversy and I don't care. It is by far the best one I have tried (I have tried almost every ROM), no others even come close. I am running it with the Trinity Kernel v35.
AOKP for ICS or ParanoidAndroid/CM10 for JB

best rom/kernel combo for battery

for best battery performance, If you want to use sense ROM then use ARHD with Stock Kernel{ usually get more than a day's battery and more than 3 hours screen time} or Maximus ROM with franco or faux kernel{ some people reprted 4 to 5 hours of screen time } though have not used MAximus ROM myself...
Use faux or franco kernel with CM10 or AOKP ROM
these custom kernels improve performance as well as battery life
At present i am using CM10 with franco kernel with more than a day's battery and 3hours+ screen time
Sonn gonna try again Trip's CM10 and his new 3.1.10 kernel
In my personal experience for best battery life use a Sense ROM (Stock or modified = ARHD, ViperX etc..) with stock Kernel. Have tried a couple of AOSP JB ROMS few weeks back but battery life was not as impressive as on sense. Standby times on sense ROMs are fantastic.

My recommendation is ARHD with stock kernel
ViperX 2.0.1 with stock kernel. Just wow, just wow.

For some reason Sense ROMs do better when it comes to standby battery life, or so I've read.

smidgeox Can You say something about battery life?
Well I am using viper 2.0.1 with stock kernel and game kinda lags. Can anyone suggest a kernel with viper Rom which will give Me optimum battery life.

Sorry, haha i was that happy with it
With ViperX 2.0.1 i've once got near 5 hours screen on time with i'd say constant use (however i should add that i had the brightness quite low)
Also i've once got 26 hours out of it that's obviously with standby/sleep

Man, just stop it. You can't get like a week of battery life out of this. And you are expecting a kernel with better performance but also with better battery life?

All I meant was a good kernel with decent battery with 3.5 hrs of screen on. I don't live in a lala land that I would ask for 5 hrs of screen on.
TBalden's CM9 beta 5 with his kernel with the multitouch fix. Best battery life ever.

Until HTC releases the 2.17 source, we're stuck with the current batch of custom kernels. With no new source, devs really can't do too much.

Battery Life in Jellybean

Anyone care to share?
Running slimbean, and getting horrible life compared to ICS and jellybean (no deep sleep?)
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium
I've tried KXP and P.A.C.Man. Both really awesome ROMs, but same as you, battery life just isn't where I need it to be.
Honestly, the best ROM with balanced battery life and performance for me has been PaxChristos's plain old CM9 ROM with Keiran's Darkforest CM9 kernel.
I use P.A.C man and I need to charge the phone every 48h.

Battery life in jellyzeus with turbokernel is quite good, but maybe is because aosp is the most featureless rom.

I have the same doubt, why should we do that?
Because some ROMs don't "understand" the stats of other ROMs so its just best to clear them after flash

Using SlimBean,
Screen off, sleep (0% user usage) with wifi : 0.4% to 0.7% per hour.
Same stats as GB while using Darkforest, 0.5% to 0.7%/hour. (a year ago)

That's how it should be but in reality it's not. Sammy roms have much better battery life but then again that could just be because there are better power and memory management features on stock. It's the only reason I've been reverting back to stock since almost every other cm10.1 based roms have ridiculously weak battery life.

that's kinda weird because on mine the battery on stock sucks but on cm10.1 it lasts a lot more so i was thinking the same for note2
Not really. Battery life is awesome at is on stock. You could flash some kernel like Perseus and do some undervolting or even underclocking to
squeeze more battery out of it though.
Battery life, I've found it to be more or less the same, if not marginally better on stock.
@bushako - How's battery life on MIUI mate? Heard it drains battery more than other stock based ROMs?
So what is better i hear different story's haha

I actually ended up going back to stock based Rom. The battery life wasn't as bad as I had thought, it got me about 6hours screen time. Don't get me wrong MIUI really looks gorgeous but at the expense of performance, especially at this stage since there's quite a few bugs that needs ironing out and also because MIUI and xposed framework use the same setup they are incompatible and I'm use to lower DPI. I might get back with signs of improvements.
Also, I found that Perseus kernel is not compatible with aosp and that so far the one that does work is neak and redpill.

Lower dpi means better battery life or drain the battery?

Android revolution rom is stock rom but all the things which causes lag are removed and u still get amazing battery too...
