[Q] Battery on Custom roms - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've noticed that the battery on the Galaxy S3 (a 2400 sum battery) is calibrated to 1500 Mah on customs ROMs. I don't know is anyone else has noticed this.I looked all over to see if anyone has posted about this. I've seen this on two ROMs already using battery monitor widget . I'll upload a screenshot when I get home. Is there a fix for this?

I don't know if you're talking about AOSP ROMs or stock based custom ROMs. But if you look here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...works/base/core/res/res/xml/power_profile.xml
At line 71 battery.capacity in the overlay is at 2100, which is the correct battery capacity that the galaxy s3's have.

[Q] Battery draining at 1% per 30 seconds!?

Hello. I am having a problem with my Evo 4G. I recently replaced my Evo 4G, and I changed ROMs as well. My battery seems to be draining at 1% per 30 seconds. I can't make an hour on a 3500MAh battery. It doesn't seem to matter what ROM I try to run.
So my question is this: Is my battery the problem or is there a problem with the Radio, PRI, or some other nonsense that is running crazy and draining the battery?
Thanks!
have u tried a custom kernel? what rom are you on right now?
check battery usage, menu-settings-about phone-battery. Also download Spare Parts, go to battery history and see if any apps are hogging the battery.
The display is using 82% of the battery. This wasn't the case when I was running Android 2.2. Now that I am on 2.3.3 it seems like the display is hogging the battery. I would like to use a custom kernel that is best for battery life. Can anyone tell me which to use? I am using MikG's ROM v2.15, I think. My info is Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, Software 4.24.651.1, PRI 1.77_003, PRL 01115 and Baseband 2.15.00.09.01. I have the display set to turn off after 15 seconds, so I have no idea why the display could be using so much battery life when it sits off in my holster most of the time. My job is being oncall 24/7, so battery life is a must. Can anyone help me solve this please? Thanks!

Also could be an issue with the battery itself. Can you try a different battery? Is the extended battery one of the Hong Kong variety? Have you tried wiping battery stats?
Sorry dude so far there are no custom kernel for any sense 3.0 roms yet cuz htc hasnt released the source code for their kernels yet but when you flash a sense 3.0 rom it has bad battery life for a few days but later the rom gets very good battery life...

That is true, took my friend's phone 2 1/2 days for the battery to settle in.

It says Sense 2.1 though. I don't even know what this Sense nonsense (haha) is. My previous ROMs didn't use it. Maybe I should switch to a non-Sense (haha again) ROM? Or are there Sense 2.1 kernels available?

Actually I did change the battery. I used two different 1500MAh batteries and one 3500MAh battery. I heard it was the PRI and it needed to be switched to version 1.77? I have that, but it still seems to suck. I did wipe the battery stats, so maybe wiping the stats caused the issue? I was told it would make the battery work better. So confused...

[Q] Compatible Battery

Hi everyone, i am facing some HUGE battery drains when i am over a 3G network.
I am currently using a Stock ROM 2.2 (JPS i guess),but as soon i turn the 3G on,my battery does not last 10 minutes.
I started looking over a battery replacement,and i´ve found all those :
Ebay Search
I want to know if you guys can tell me which would be a better alternative for a compatible battery. Also,if you guys already experienced this battery drain and were able to fix it somehow.
Thanks in advance.

After 1 year and an half some months ago i faced the same problem, so i bought a new battery on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=110861143398&view=all&tid=834148161001) but i still had a short battery life on 3G/2G and i thught the problem was the ruined battery (it arrived in terrible conditions with cracks etc...) so i bought this extended battery: http://www.ebay.it/itm/261029030204...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1965wt_1029 . It didn't arrive yet but someone that bought it can tell me if it works better than the original one or not?
After almoste 2 and a half year of service my battery died in peace
so I begon the search for a new battery and found this battery pack on e-bay
I'm using these battery's for about 2 weeks now and I have to say I'm very satisfied
They last for about 3 day's (mobile data constantly connected, wifi for about 1 hour turned on and some pictures)
I definitely recommend this battery pack to al of you

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Nexus Battery Issues

So I recently installed Aliendroid, a rom that uses a modified cm10 kernel as well as running moddified aosp and cm10 hybrid. The battery life on my friends galaxy nexus, both of us have verizon, has been consistently 30% higher and I am curious as to why or how this can happen. Thanks ahead of time.

Is your friends stock? There are a million things you two could be doing differently. Your post needs more information
No he is running the exact same version of Aliendroid as well. As far as I can tell, I have more widgets on my home screens and we even have the same radio version...Hope this helps.
Your friend's battery is better than yours! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!! lol
It could be different things. Check the battery usage to c where is the difference between ur phone and his/her phone.

lolz on the troll response :highfive:
However, he could simply have a better battery than you. Download betterbatterystats and check out what's taking your battery life on stroll.
Thanks for the input. As far as we can tell it doesn't seem to much of a difference with programs running. Is it possible that his battery just discharges better than mine?
You cant compare the battery life between two phones with so many variables. The only possible way you could even try would be:
having the exact same ROM/kernel
exact same settings
same carrier
exact same location at all times
exact same apps installed with exact same settings
EXACT same usage <---impossible

Well official model number for the battery that comes with the phone is EB575152LA. You should be able to find it on eBay, but watch out for fakes (mainly noticeable due to the Samsung logo being missing from the battery in the pics).

Wrong battery capacity

Hi guys! I've a little trouble with my old Desire Eye and I don't know what to do.
My phone says that the battery is 2600 mAh, but thats not true, since actually it is 2400 mAh and was never replaced.
As I see the problem is somewhere in rom\kernel\fw etc ported from M8., cuz a lot of ROMs were ported by Mini from One M8, which exactly has 2600 battery.
ATM my phone is running Mini's stock MM rom (S-OFF), and i dunno, I've flashed a lot recenty trying to fix that battery problem, but still no luck, every rom shows me 2600 T__T
Anyone with the same problem?
Even I am facing the same problem

I even tried battery calibration app. But no luck

It's due to using an old kernel,
Try to find a newer one on the threads and it will be solved..
