I installed CM7 last night and I'm experiencing high radio battery drain. I love the rom but in a few hours of light usage and I'm down 17% battery. I've also tried rmk40's patch and same problem. Anyone have any solution for the drain?

I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that flashing a new rom like CM7 does not change your radio, so it's probably not a radio issue. If I were you, I'd fully charge it, reboot into clockwork recovery, and wipe the battery stats under "advanced". Then drain the battery all the way, and recharge it again fully to recalibrate the battery. See if that helps.
I have the same kind of issues, similar setup. What patch are you talking about? I haven't seen one.
Seems anything radio related INSANELY drains my battery. I don't remember eating my entire battery just because of text messaging quite as badly as I do these days, it's ridiculous. I sure wish there was a definitive answer in the radio and RIL files debate lol.
Anytime you flash a new ROM on your phone, you should let it bake for a couple days before making judgement of battery life, performance, etc etc. I admit I don't always do that myself, but to be fair to the developer you should let your phone get accustomed to the new ROM and/or radio. Give it a 2 or 3 days and let us know if battery life improves or not for you.
I am running cyanogen 7 and my radio signal is very weak now. Is there a way to update the radio? Sorry for the dumb question but I've been reading for 2 days now with no luck. I'm probably not looking in the right places. Thanks for your time.

Its actually most likely the same signal strength, just cm7 and sense builds show it differently. You may show 1 bar on cm7 and 2 on a sense build.

Always flash at 100% battery status first. Then use your phone at least 4 days. So with 2 complete drainages and charges. Only after that you can judge if a certain rom is draining or not. O and your radio is NOT changing after you installed a CM7 nightly. This is mentioned a zillion times here. I almost posted the famous quote "If you were to string these posts in a ......."
A few days ago I decided to try out ktoon's kernel. I was getting horrible battery life and there is a distinct possibility I did not give it enough time to settle as some have said. One person suggested I get Better Battery Stats, but at the paid app part, I didn't bother and went back to stock kernel.
Since then I have found the thread here and installed it to see what was going on. Fully charged battery unplugged and left idle.. When I woke up I had 8 hours of time on the battery and 92% left.. I was happy with this... A quick game of Angry Birds Star Wars later, and I am down to 88%... Now it has been an hour and a few random things later (Angry Birds Seasons, uninstalling bloat via titanium backup) and I am down to 78%.. 10% gone in an hour?
I am just a bit on the very confused side. I was getting 18 hours or so of decently heavy use prior to flashing a custom kernel. Now, I could just be checking my phone more and not noticing it and causing some bias here, but I am at a loss. One member seems to think I have a hardware problem causing my battery drain and that I should replace my device, but I figure it doesn't hurt to seek a second opinion.
As for the ROM I am on, it is just the stock LJ7 with a few theme tweaks I have done and removed some bloat.
Perhaps I am just looking too deep assuming something is wrong..
EDIT: I just followed a tip by Naddict to stop Google Maps from reporting anything.. Hopefully that helps a bit..
Same I think I get good battery life randomly like for instance any ROM or kernel I try I get random battery life sometimes 10+ hours sometimes 7 or less and I do my best at optimizing my phone to save battery I switch brightness to zero no sync at all juice defender ultimate was also tried lol

Could you post kernel alarms. I mentioned the potential for SD issues basically it works this way. You have cached information that doesn't get wiped the program accesses it and basically because for instance the ktoonsez kernel contains newer linaro or the fact it's based on 4.12 those small difference make the cache potentially poisonous.... another example is corruption of the partition causing media scanner to basically endless loop another example network spoofer if it crashes while running corrupts dalvik and requires a wipe. Or your SD card it's failing. Just examples

Forgot to mention, when I wrote the OP, I had already switched back to stock kernel. Phone is plugged in charging atm, I'll have that screen shot for you in the morning if you still need it.
I can't complain with these results here... Since I did a few things when I got up, I lost 1%. But over night I only lost 7%
What am I doing wrong. 4 hours after a full charge and I'm at 28%. I used the phone for a total of an hour today between Facebook, YouTube and Internet browsing. Almost dead, WTF!! Please someone help me fix this. I have each frequency undervolted 115 MHz and its pretty stable. I also keep mobile data always off when not using it. So why is my battery life so horrible.

I've read a lot of people on here complain about the facebook app just sucking the battery away.. Some choose to use the mobile site to connect.. Try uninstalling facebook and seeing how it goes.

Do you have better battery stats? It will show if anything is running when screen is off then you can at least narrow it down. What Rom are you on?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I don't know that I've ever seen this explicitly stated by anyone, so I thought I'd ask straight out.
What kind of battery life is everyone getting?
On average, say, per hour, with moderate use how much battery do you lose?
Are you stock or rooted? What ROM and kernel if rooted?
And... GO!
Screenshots welcome and encouraged!

Everyone's is gonna be completely different. Most will post in the roms what they are seeing on avg. There's to many variables that go into that to really narrow things down. Just my opinion on that.

I understand that everyone is going to be completely different, that's the point. The idea is that if people were to post a wide variety of conditions, along with their battery-related results, others can try to tweak their settings closest to what fits their needs.
Yes, it is easily found amongst the forums for individuals ROMS/kernels, but why not put together a one-stop-shop for reference?

IMO better to keep with the Roms/Kernels (Under development) or someone may mistake and try to add something to a rom that doesn't work. Just my thoughts, I understand the goal, and I'm always looking to improve upon my battery life for my use. Haven't had phone a day yet to have any real results yet to mine.. We'll see how the world chimes in on this too tho..
Current: The Peoples Rom, 69% battery remaining, 6 hrs 14 min on bat, 1 hr 20 min screen on. Just to start it off a bit.. Will update this evening.
I'm stock non rooted with fairly heavy useage and Juice Defender free and I'm sotting at about 9 hours and 15% battery

On wifi, about 4 minutes per percent of battery for screen on time + 2 hours per percent for extra screen off time. This is with the screen brightness very low though.
So, about 400 minutes of continued usage or 200 hours of standby.
Odex blue 1.2 ROM, Google Now off, report location in Maps off.
Alrighty, now we're rolling... Here's where I currently stand:
5h45m on battery - 47% left... Heavy use today though.
AOKP Rom, KToonsez kernel - undervolted and slightly underclocked.
Charging my phone now. But yesterday i got 27 hours before reaching 25%
ROM: Stock Jellybean Touchwiz (rooted of course)
Kernel: Ktoonz kernel for touchwiz (using Ktoonservative/noop stock voltages n touch boosters disabled)
I'm stock and can get 24 hours+ with about 3+ hours of screen on time easily. This is with brightness at about 80% and no battery saving options on.

So this might not be the forum but hopefully someone will take pity on me and point me in the right direction.
As u can see. This bad boy ain't even sleeping. If not for juice defender i wouldn't make it through the day with moderate use. Now I'm in the islands where there ain't much good service to begin with so this might get a Lil tricky. Also i am unrooted. If that helps. I think it's an app but i guess i need to find another app to find the app that's the culprit. Thx in advance.

And I know theres another post that has more views that shows people posting up their battery stats.
What i want is details, not just numbers. Would definitely help a lot of users out there with everyones input.
Once again, Thanks!!
Could help if u switch it to gsm only when u don't need to surf net and 3g only when u need the Internet. It drains battery when it keeps switching

That is pretty nice, but i the first day i got the phone i had like 8,5hours on disolay dunno what was the whole time on battery, notification led on, brightness off (lowest) - this might be the main reason, gps off, always data or wifi on (i need to be connected with the world ) stock 4.1.1
Now i am using auto brightness and i get like 6-7 hours on display, sometimes 8, and everything is the same except that brightness is set to automatic, still i get full day everytime, sometimes even 1,5 day which i hate bcoz charginh in the middle of the day is nasty when you are busy with all the tasks that you get during day. All in all best battery life so far as in device, i just dont get it why somebody wouldnt want this phone with that battery life, if note III will have better life im pretty sure u will survive 2 days with heavy usage
EDIT: sometimes im working with my brother and he has galaxy nexus, we were both playing with the phones during the day and i had 56% left, he had 9% and i had more time on display, he had to charge it 3 times that day, i plugged it when i was going to sleep
I just sold
Y GNex. Hopefully will get Note 2 tomorrow

All of which is useless in the end. My usage habits and app installs will impact battery life differently than yours no matter how "exact" our settings are at an exact moment.
Can we please move beyond this silly notion of some holy grail of configuration? Use your phone! Ignore quadrant scores and whether I get 9hrs and you get 10.5 hrs. Those numbers will never be consistent, nor should they matter. If you're getting 2hrs of battery life, then maybe you have an issue worth solving.
If there were a singular combination that made everything run on platinum and 50000 hrs of screen time, trust me: we would know about it.
I plead to everyone: stop with the quest for "best". It isn't going to happen. Find what's best for you.

Hi guys!
I own Note2 till January but I never had good battery life! I dont know where is a problem. Can I have bad battery? My phone is rooted because on stock rom is my battery life worse.
Now Iam running Hurricane rom, bloatware I removed immediately, I used kernel mod for better battery performance but I cant get more than 3-4hours of screen time. I dont play any games, just browse the internet, mostly I am connected on wifi, sometimes Facebook or Messenger, nothing more. Please help me. Thanks
Right, so this is driving me crazy lately.
I've been running on ParanoidKangDroid quite happily for about a year or so now before I've started questioning battery life. It was brand new when purchased.
It used to run what I'd consider fairly well, not having a 'real' smartphone before. Compared to my friend's Note 2 that lasted a lot longer, I just chalked up to battery size.
Lately I have noticed that it is ridiculously short. Once I started looking into it I have been seeing people with 15h life and 3-5h screen time. That's insane, at minimum brightness I usually get 1.5h, maybe 2h screen time max.
I've checked wakelocks, I've checked for physical battery bloat, I've now installed S3rx 4.3 Touchwiz based ROM cleanly, all without solving my issue. I don't let it run dry, I top it up frequently in order to not **** the Li-ion battery out of capacity. I've checked threads out for ideas and tips to no avail. Notice that there isn't any games sucking it dry, as I don't tend to play them!
I realise that my mobile signal isn't the best in some cases, but battery life remains same with similar usage at home or anywhere with consistent full reception. I'm just stumped. Later tonight I'm going to move-on to PAC-man or Carbon Rom, as this Touchwiz crap is driving me batty, and try a couple different kernals.
Without further ado I present thee my photos. Any suggestions?
