After receiving the 4.1.2 OTA update, I'm getting a much better battery life.
It used to be dead at the end of the day. Now, I finish my day and the battrey is on 45% with the same phone use.
I also find that apps and mostly google apps do launch faster
Have you also noticed it?
CM10 "added" 4.1.2 into the compilation recently & I've noticed a difference too... :victory:
Can you give us some screenshots of the screen time?

Only with data all the day i got 3.30h and 19h on, automatic brightness, sync on. Google stock 4.1.2
4.1.2 appears to have a big affect on battery life. I've gone from needing a charge after about 12 hours to going all day with charge left

When 4.1.1 was released, people reported that Google Now was a battery hog. Maybe Google improved it drastically.
Those who experience better battery life with 4.1.2, do you have Google Now activated?

To add on to this. I'm noticing FAR fewer wakeups (alarms) caused by Maps services on 4.1.2. That has an impact regardless of whether or not Google Now is running.
They definitely made some changes to location based services considering the menus were modified and additional settings were added.
Using a custom ROM and kernel so I can't answer this. But my battery life using CM10 + Franco Kernel has definitely improved.

Flash stock and it will be better.

I logged in hoping someone had made a topic about this. On 4.1.1 I did not use Google Now because of the effect on battery life it caused. I tried it on 4.1.2 hoping it had improved. In my opinion it did. Still need more days to test but it seems way better now. Even saying that, I still feel it takes too much of a hit on battery for me to continue using it.
Just my 2 cents.

Umm, it absolutely wouldn't be better at all.
Rooting and using custom ROMs have it benefits and my battery life wouldn't be to where it is now (at least not as long) if i was on stock.
Stock is too boring for me. I need my lock screen customizations and backups
It doesn't take away root capabilities right?

I use it while traveling. A lot of the functions are designed to help you familiarize yourself with the area.

The 4.1.2 custom ROMs have done me better overall than the 4.1.1 ROMs.
I haven't noticed much of any difference one way or another.
So the latest cm10 nightlies contain 4.1.2??
It seems the battery life claims are pretty circumstantial. I wish there was a standardized test for this..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Cm10 nightlies are cm10.
And battery is much much better.

I never let any Rom to settle down(for more than 2 days) to comment on battery life, but i hope the thread is pointing to facts
So now in Stock will report back after 2 charge cycles at least
The map process is eating my battery to. I reserve testet it yesterday (nandroid of 4.1.1 back) no problem and then again OTA to 4.1.2. Anyone out there a possible resolution ? Had 2-3 days with my battery, now maybe one day.

If you use some sort of Recovery like CWM it does not. CWM will ask you if you want keep recovery and/or root.
I have lately been running tests of different ROMs and trying to get the best battery life possible! I have tested out these ROMs:
Jedi Mind Trick X1
CM10 Stable Release 4.1.2
AOKP Jellybean 4.1.2
Slim Bean Unofficial 4.1.2
When i flashed these ROMs i did a battery calibration (off app from play store NOT CWM). And ran them on FULL Brightness, GPS ON, BLUETOOTH ON, and running on Wi-Fi! I opened up netflix and watched multiple movies (same movies for each ROM)...until the phone went completely dead. Here are the results i got:
Jedi Mind Trick X1: 4 1/2 Hours
CM10 Stable Release: 3 3/4 Hours
AOKP Jellybean: 4 Hours
Slim Bean Unofficial: 5 3/4 Hours
As most people know the Screen does use over half of the battery. So on this test the screen was on NON-STOP for the amount of time you see above. And 99% of people will not have their screens on for that long at one time. So this is the WORSE-CASE scenario for battery life. I was impressed mainly with Slim Bean and Jedi Mind Trick did good as well.
You may get different results than I did. If you are using a ROM that i did not test or you tested one of these ROMs above and got different results please post below your results.
I hope this helped guys
Thanks for this.... maybe i need to try out slimrom again

I used an unofficial version of it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964944&highlight=slim+bean
I did do a battery calibration! I suggest doing that and you should have GREAT battery life.
Ok guys. I have officially moved over to the Galaxy Note 2. I no longer have the Galaxy S2 so i cannot add anymore support for it since it is against the rules. I appreciate all the help from this device thread and now you guys can see me at the GN2 forums. Goodbye Galaxy S2 Users
Personally I have the best battery performance, regardless of the ROM, by setting up CPU profiles. Basically you can set one profile to limit the to 432 (or whatever you want) while the screen is off and 1500+ while screen is on. I use ROM Toolbox Pro for this and get really good results. If your interested just do some searching on ROM Toolbox Pro and CPU profiles. Just thought I would share

people say that doing battery wipes are useless? From my experiences, i have gotten terrible battery life with those roms. It must have been due to the fact that the battery was not properly calibrated.

Not sure if guys care about 4g speeds sbut this is what i got using edge only... Just used my phone for what it is. A source of communication. I also noticed better and more consistent call quality. Running an older build of cm10 back from October. Im sure I could get even more battery if i upgrade to stable
There's about three hours screen on time

AOSP isn't as good as stock for battery life (a shame, but fair enough) - but how good have you guys managed to get it? What kernels, roms and tweaks are you running and what do you get as a result?
As a baseline I get about 4 hours screen on time with CM 10.1 as-is (no kernel changes or anything like that).

SentinelROM has been getting very good results in terms of battery life. Some guy got 7hrs screen on, and I got 6hrs with a little battery left over.
Beats me why people would want to flash a ROM with less features and less battery life..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe because Touchwiz is laggy and ugly?
Anyway, the problem isn't the screen on time, but the total battery life. In standby, Note 2 with AOSP roms seems to have some processes on that totally eat the battery.
In my case, i switched back to Touchwiz. I've definitely want a 2-day battery life, and with AOSP is still not possible, unless you don't use the phone.

I would agree with that comment back then with the galaxy s1, tw was really laggy.
But this day and age, the lag difference between tw and asop is minimal.
Just thought that ASOP doesn't really make sense...

I'm on Android 4.2.2 for a few months and we won't have official Samsung FW until end of June... So there IS a difference!
Sometimes i thought my galaxy s1 was faster on cm10.1 than my note 2 on TW rom. I'm not joking

Totally agree. Just get in the Phone app or the contacts or SMS app and then compare it to aosp. Beside its far more polished and responsive. And you also have 4.2.2 waaaay before Sammy decides to release it!

Because on 4.2.2 I can use dashclock on my touchscreen, I can have easily accessible quicksettings which don't take up space in my notification drawer, I can turn off the backlight for the hardware buttons and have a navbar with far more functionality, with paranoid android I can have the navbar and status bar change colour to match the app (which will also reduce status bar burn in), with rootbox/aokp I can have the status bar hide away until I either swipe it down myself or get a notification, and my phone still lasts me an entire day of my usage. I don't lose any features I didn't use in the first place, so it'd be silly not to be on AOSP in my case.

I got this phone a week ago, and ran stock build for 3 days before rooting and flashing a custom rom. On stock, I was getting about 5 hours screen on time, but no matter what kernel or rom I flash, I can never seem to get above 3h15min of screen on time. Considering stock has bloat and all, and with all that people say, wouldn't one expect the results to be flipped? Aren't custom roms supposed to be better than the bloated stock rom?

Hmm I have no idea how you got 5 hours on stock,unless you avoided doing anything at all that's graphic intense. For me anyway the best battery life I've had was a Google play edition ROM running the Google play kernel. Which I got 4 hours screen on time with gaming listening to music etc. From what I've seen 4 hours is about the norm for our varient

I've tried a couple kitkat roms for my note 2 and the battery drains at 15-20% an hour with no activity. It's also slow to charge.
Is this common with 4.4.2? Should I stick with 4.3 for the time being?

Trying and using are a lil different.[emoji48]
Trying we flash it (Rom) then if it's not acting right we flash something else...
Using is when you AT least let the Rom settle into your phone/device. A day or two should be good enough to know what's doing what...
Check this app out if you don't have it yet»» http://goo.gl/vffD4d
In order to compare battery stats...
Another thing is your kernel and your setting that affect your battery life...

However, in the meantime, check your Location settings. In "Mode" take it off "High Accuracy" and change to "Battery Saving"
