[Q] Battery Issues - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have really bad battery issues and I don't know if it's the kernel I'm using or what but my battery seems to take over 2 hrs to charge fully and it dies really fast. Will drop down 4% within like 10 min of use. I never had issues like this before I flashed the liquid smooth rc8 but since I have left that and now am on paranoidandroid. If anyone can help it would be great. THANKS

Is your android system draining it?

Why don't you check what is draining your battery and report back

Battery epic fail

Ok so I have flashed a few roms and now my battery seems like its on a drain suicide mission. I used the same Rom for a week had great battery life with sinister Rom tried cm7 and flashed back to sinister for example my phone has been off the charger less than 10 minutes and its drained 11 percent already.
What's going on? It was so stable.

Search the word battery calibration.
I found switching to sense and aosp a lot messes with the battery stats

Look for viperboys rom in e3d dev. There is battery calibration info in there that I just tried. It takes about 3 cycles to complete but worth it.
Support TrevE !
Well now I'm getting random reboots too I think I just might go to my first nandroid right after I rooted my phone and start over

Poor battery life with juggernaut 5.0 & darkside v1 kernal

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.

hey mike what were your results with new kernal ?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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 lost 10-15% an hour if im not on Wifi, this phone has terrible batt life when not on wifi. Could that be why?

Best battery-saving custom rom?

Tried CM10 but it's **** with battery. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Likely not the rom. Use "battery mix " to monitor battery use. Flash a kernel, like "hotcakes", to further improve battery life.

liquidsmooth rc9 is the best!!! with proper wipe before installing ROM
Yeah I'm in the same boat. As much as I love cm10 I've been looking elsewhere because of the battery life
PA rom!
(yes phone is plugged in and at 35 percent....but below...94 percent used in 36 hours with 3 hours screen time. can get 4 hours plus...but obviously only about 12 hours then. Gsam keeps last unplugged stats on screen til you unplug charger and it resets. Look at average....over a day)

Battery life on Slim Bean 3.1.0

I'm still too laconic on XDA forums to post this in response to gmillz' SlimBean 3.1.0 ROM posting in Android Development, so here it is.
I'm getting the attached battery life after one day, one full power cycle on my new 1850mAh battery and fresh installation of the above referenced ROM. I'm running noop I/O and ondemand governor with the stock kernel built into SlimBean. I'm also running the screen on minimum brightness (not automatic). What else provides some useful background?

Here's my battery today on slim bean...I love this ROM
Since my phone "lost" my IMEi (actually, it was just not able to read it anymore), I flashed back to Stock Samsung 4.0.4. Before, I used SB 3.0.
And I can also report that battery life is much better now. Perfect example is a night in flight mode, which results in about 1% loss vs 6% loss @ SB.
As there are several guys I talked to which have perfect battery life with this ROM and I also had till 2.8 or so, there must be some misconfiguration. Or a battery draining app.
Where did you get the download for 3.1.0? I've checked there site and they only have 3.0 for the T989.

I've been running this ROM for the good half part of this day, and I must say, the battery is not as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll have to let it settle in, but CM so far beats this in terms of battery life.
I agree with the comment about stock being better than SB 3.0 and onlychevy's 3.1. It is a downer to realize most custom roms don't actually optimize for better battery life. I test the battery life by playing 5 minutes of youtube on 3g only to see how much is drained. On SB, 1% is drained for every 2 minutes of playback, and 3 minutes on stock.

Bad battery life liquid smooth 2.1 stable n7105

Hi I've got liquid smooth as above on my phone. Since installing I have bad battery life. Losing 10% In 2 hours while sleeping. I dont think I have a wake lock I've checked battery stats and it looks like its sleeping. I have run battery calibration and done 3 complete charge/discharges so I'm at a loss. I've also under clocked to 1200 MHz and using Pegasus governer. Any ideas thanks

Well honestly, I've had the same issue ona completely didn't device but same ROM. Cannot figure it out for the life of me buti think it might have something to do with signal strength...
Get rid of the liquid.try slim bean...its good...fast and battery friendly in combination with neak kernel.
If you dont want nesk...redpill is another option...just to make sure..these 2 kernel...have the best sound quality.
If i helped you...plz hit the thx button
