Why is my battery life so horrible?! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Ever since ICS no matter what ROM I'm on, my battery is crap! No, it does not spin! I've only had it since July 1, 2012. Here is what I'm getting, and this is on Blazer ICS ROM for crying out loud! This also my phone sitting in my pocket while I'm at work untouched, wifi off!

You are lucky to get those times with your signal as low as it is.
When you have a low signal like that, it is constantly searching for a better signal and using up battery life.

Yeah but there were a couple very rare occasions where it lasted way longer.

A couple? You need to have consistency. You can't say that you have a problem now when you really haven't had good battery life to begin with. I can bet that your signal is what is causing the drain in battery. Either get a better signal or get an extended battery.

Maybe the battery is a dud... Doesn't have to be bulging to be bad. Also look for stray apps. You can also upgrade your kernel and modem. FL 24 is the newest. Go look in the repository.

It'll be easiest if you just grab screens of each section but you'll need to let it run a day or so to get the best snapshot of the situation. Once you get em post em up and I'll look at em and see what's hanging causing that wakelock. Im fairly certain its gonna be radios searching but could always be that plus something else

Most have issues with wakelocks when they try to use their phone the way they want on any ICS ROM. Enjoy everything working and no greens in the super battery sipping The People's ROM. 4 Hours display time with 30% battery left on stock battery....hell yeah! One user reported 50 hours with over 30% left. If your phone prefers Samurai kernels you can always switch from Shadowkernel.

Is this battery life normal?

Since my last post went completely off topic and hopefully will be deleted soon I am going to try again. I flashed CM7 last night and ran a battery calibration and I only had a 4hr 19min battery life with moderate use I updated my radios but my baseband still says 2.15.00.05.02 Instead of 2.15.00.08.02 did I do something wrong in the flash? I put it in the root of my SD card and flashed it just as I would with any zip. Here is the screenshots from my test.

If you want the current radios see this.
Has the recovery install as wall as hboot install.
Edit: did you have this with your previous rom?
Perhaps a new battery will help if yours is old?
Yea that is definitley not normal batt life. I'm not saying mine is great, but usually i can go a day on my batt with light to moderate usage. Usually just checking fb, xda, mikmik, and a few minutes of internet surfing
Yeah battery life was right about the same I never tested it. It was sprint lovers rom. I have a new battery coming in as soon as tomorrow so I'll test it again once I get it. Is there any suggestions for things I might try?

Just put build 5 on my S2, and I gotta say, its pretty amazing. Its a lot smoother, and has some more options. But mostly, there is a noticeable difference of smoothness and look. I was crashing once or twice a day with build 4 as well. So, I am happy. What are your thoughts? Any other Jelly Bean ROMs that are better?

I noticed it in Goo yesterday, haven't flashed it yet though I think I'm still going to wait for the updated SBean.
This is the first aokp rom that I have tried and I am very happy with it. Everything is very smooth and fast. The only problem that I have with it is the lock screen. When I hit the power button the screen comes on really bright for about a second then goes back to the normal brightness level that I have it at. I usually have have it on the lowest setting. It doesn't always happen but most of the time it does. Anyone know how to fix this?

What are you using for a radio? Sounds like something is sucking the life out of your battery or you're in an area with crap reception and your radio is draining your battery trying to get a good signal. I myself am using uvle1 for a radio. I've had nothing but bad experiences using uvlh1.

You might want to look into this as well. Remember to do a nandroid before you flash just in case.

Probably. I haven't ran cm10 in awhile but if the updates re-write system files then most likely that mod will be erased each time.

Thanks the flash worked a bit. With that flash I use juice defender to save even more battery.

That's because its on alot. Try lowering the brightness or shortening the screen timeout time

I flashed paranoid android rom (the latest) on my epic 4g touch and i have to say battery is a little better from after the update. Do you know of a better battery saver mod that i could flash to save more battery?

You guys see this?

Someone posted about it about a month ago. I tried it, but saw little improvement and it affected something on my phone. Maybe GPS, but I can't remember.

I have installed it right now and don't see much difference.

Yeah me too. It is hard to tell. My phone is also overclocked with tegrak and min and max cpu are both cranked up all the way so it's super fast anyway lol.

Huge difference on my Phandroid build.
I've seen this as well but am skeptical, and mainly because most of the things he says it fixes aren't problems at all for me.
This isn't the most powerful phone anymore, but I have Never had it take more than a second to load the home screen when I hit the home button, nor do I really experience any gaming lag.

Yeah lots of people in that thread with older single core devices or lower are seeing the difference. More than dual core or better like ours.

When I had this installed I couldn't use navigation. Gps would lock but it would just end up fc'ing Navigation. Also I didn't see any improvement on battery life

Hmmm. I haven't tried navigation yet. And I can't really ever judge batter life because I just let them run out completely all the time and pop another one in from the wall charger. 2 batteries and wall charger was only 6 or so bucks on Amazon. Best thing I ever bought.
