How's your battery life.

Just wanted to start this to see how everyone's battery life differs.
Please post:
1. What rom you are using
2. What modem
3. And apps you may be using that HELP battery life.
4. Any suggestions for better battery life
Thank a bunch!

I'm running Calks 3.0 ROM with FC24 modem..I also use JuiceDefender which cuts off connectivity to data and such when my screen is off. I usually see 2 days out of my battery with moderate use.

EL29 calk+EL29, autobrightness on in the dark, wifi on. 9hours after charge, 3h display on, 49%.
Use wifi, or if it's not available and the signal is poor, force roaming with something like Roam Control.

Battery life is horrid, am I missing something?

I'm running the stable cm 10.0 build with lean kernel. Brightness at half. From these images I'm barely achieving 9 hours with less than 3 hours of screen on time. I'm confused, I thought this rom/kernel combo was supposed to produce great battery life? Can someone help me. Thanks.

Calibrate battery if that's a new ROM give it a few days. My phone sucks battery no matter what kernel or battery. Just ordered an extended one a few hours ago. Hopefully, by the time i move to the fifth generation galaxy device, this retard battery issue will be solved

If your are planning to get a battery extension i suggest get the 3000 mAh of samsung this Jan 5th that would increase your battery life up to 49% (i read that here in XDA idk where is it but its true ) and also try TRINITY kernel would be awsome if you done like it you could revert back to lean - its only a suggestion
EDIT:
Is this your 1st battery cycle in this rom? usually that is normal the following charging cycle would be stable from what you expect

Been using this for 2-3 weeks now I was hoping it would improve but I
it hasn't. I'll give trinity kernel a try, thanks.

I would go for an extended battery but I need a case on my phone, that's the only thing holding me back. It isn't new, I've been on this for almost 3 weeks.

If you need the extended and a case, look for the seidio active extended. I did about 5 hours of research to ensure i get what fits me best.

My girlfriend gets 30 hrs+ on her phone with average usage while I get approx 16 hours with barely using my phone. It's crazy how much it varies.

Calibrating is useless, its a bunch of snake oil. So don't even bother with that.
Sounds like you need to check for a bad app preventing your phone from sleeping, otherwise flash to stock and re flash.

Brightness at HALF? Why??

Etabindu another
I went with the qcell extended battery, currently running the Aeonfluxx v6 rom. On heavy use days I usually have 50% battery left. My stock battery didnt last 6 hrs before. The sg3 is my second Samsung phone, and both sucked with battery life.

Try a touchwiz rom bro... might save you some battery. also less widgets, check what apps are running during sleep mode and my favorite
Just carry an extra battery <---- problem solved

I found that cm10 roms do not give a good battery at all no matter which rom i tried... So i ended up flashing paranoidandroid and ive noticed a huge battery gain its hard to set the rom up because it has tons of settings but once its done its great !!

Scheduler and Governors

Well guys I haven't seen anything related to this around the GS3 forums.
So, what schedulers and Governors do you use?
I seek performance with the best battery life so I use Interactive with deadline even though it kills my battery. Thinking about changing.
How about you?

In using liquid smooth stable build with ktoons kernel. Ktoonservative as my gov and row as the I/o
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

ktoonsez - ktoonservative/row
Unfortunately the kernel has lock ups with the set up that I had (k-serv/cfq) but its still fast as hell with row.

What are my options for higher volume?

Hey there, just wanted to know what options I have for increasing the volume of my note 2. I am cuurently running pacman ROM 23 v9. I understand that I can change kernel but an not sure about the process and would need help.
Besides kernel change, are there any other options?

The NEAK kernel with the Wolfson audio mod app from the play store works great for me. I'm using kernel version 1.8 on Slim 7.2 weekly.

he is smokin sumptin, but whats that got to do with volume?:silly:

Well. ...
Volume loss is the only item that keeps me away from AOSP full time. ..
Kernel changes can help. ..but in my case. ..the upgraded kernel causes the CPU max issues on both CM and Carbon. .
For now I've got viper mod running well. ..g

yep, when sound is the biggest annoyance, than Viper Mod is the answer; on roms where the kernel changes dont cause you any grief, I like devil and devil tools, although I have used Neak and Uneak engine lately, and even though there is no OC with Neak, the sound is awesum, and its fast and smooth.....
