Hows the battery life?
How good is G3's battery life?
Some say it's average, some say it's really good...
I think I mostly browse the web at my phone...
Will it survive a full day? (12 hours)
Because it's kind of important to me...
I'd love to hear some thoughts about it's battery life from you (How long do you last, and what do you do to achieve that?)
Thanks!
I'm using Euphoria ROM with Nebula Kernel and i usually get around 16hrs with 4h SOT. Everything at performance profile... So i guess i could archieve more in a Battery Kernel profile, i noticed Batt life its better for me in AOSP than Stock or Stock-Based...
For me on VS985 with Telsa custom Rom and Nebula Kernal I get about 3 hours SOT a day over a period of about 16 hrs
Here is mine, so much depends on apps that one uses, screen brightness etc.

I use pure stock CM 12.1, no 3rd party kernel. I do the usual tweak of not syncing Google service I do not use. I also do not use the Facebook app.
Edit:
Yesterday I went back to rooted stock, just for a change. SOT is not as good as CM for me, maybe 5 hours of SOT.

Which rom is the best [for battery life] between these one??
- cyanogenmod
- miui
- stock ics
All with the ultima kernel from riyal.

For me its KA21 with Arcknight 3.3 Stock Kernel.
Really smooth, better battery than i experienced stockwise...
try ICS_anzu_KTG tuned_V1.41: governor interactiv
actually battery drain more depends on the kernels..for best battery life stock kernel is the best
Guys note that lad has Pro not Arc. Stock is usually the worst, or better - default gauge for custom ROMs. I've been watching cyanogenmod discussion for a while, usually users feedback on battery life varied from version to version; for tweaked versions can be said that battery life is the same as in stock while the performance is 20% better. I don't know about MIUI.
(Out of your question, the best for battery life are Ultima ROM and Buttermilk ROM which are optimized for battery life and battery life is notably better there; with Buttermilk and low usage you can do as much as 4 days without charging - worth for outdoor trips. Ultima ROM when idle eats like 0,6% per hour.)
Stock rom with stock kernal had the best battery life... but also lags the most.
I recomend arconium ICS with stock kernal for a balaced experiance...!!!

Well if you game a lot compared to someone who doesn't then obviously ones battery will last longer than the other, so there's a few factors that can be taken into account in regards to battery life.

well my method of testing battery drain(i guess everybody tests the same way) is only on standby..how much time does it take to move 1% down when the phone is not touched for an hr or 2...in exceptional cases battery will drain fast while using 3G in one kernel but lil slow on other kernel..
again my point is kernel is more responsible for battery life of the phone rather than a ROM..

Then you need to take syncing into account, if yours is on and mine is off on the same kernel then yours may drian a bit quicker than mine, which goes back to my point of how a user uses their Phone. I don't think it's a black and white issue.

yea dude.. i get it..my point was simple..people were talking about best roms for battery life.. i just said kernel plays an important role in deciding that..that was my only point..i wasnt arguing with anyone..and testing of battery drain at standby means with data off,bluetooth off, gps off..hence syncing of account wont come into picture
I'm not arguing, just trying to make a point also.

Yes I know and sorry, the last two ROMs I was refering to are GB. However, Riyal is working on Ultima ICS ROM and it already exists in alpha version! See this post with download link Hopefully the ROM will have similar advantages as has GB Ultima ROM over GB stock ROM, which means better battery life, better wi-fi reception, improved camera and so on.

Ok, and is it also possible to DOWNGRADE from ICS to GB??
I did that when I had iPhone 4.
im using cm7.2 latest release alvays, i also have an app set cpu and i set my governor to scary, min freq 145 mhz, and max 1024, and im using profiles for apps that im using most of time (underclock cpu while using that apps)
with that i have at least 40% better battery life
and, yes, u can downgrade using flashtool

So far Arcknight kernel has quite the reputation for good battery life. IMO, for roms i find CM9 from FreeXperia project quite awesome but then there's an issue with the battery stats and brightness for now so wait for the next release i guess. for GB try arconium 8.2. still mostly its based on kernel and also the governor.

Hey friend, how do you do that? I dont ahve that option.
I remember i had on my other phone.
Im running the newest version. Should I change my device??
What option are you referring to?
I find that the stock kitkat rom on the s4 mini has pretty poor battery life .. cannot hold up a whole working day. What rom do you recommend for improved battery life?
For my galaxy s5, I found that touchwiz roms have much better battery life than aosp roms. Is it the case for the s4 mini?

For me, the best battery life is by far on cm13, marshmallow. I have been on stock kitkat, cm12.1 and now cm13. Battery easly hold up to 24 hours and with less than average usage maybe 36 hours.
ok thx! will try cm13 .. I did not try it because I thought it was not stable enough
it is this rom right?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-13-0-s4-mini-t3276141

Yeah that's the one. :good:
for baterry life ,maybe te last nightly of cm12.1 ....and parameters of kernel :
change interactive for ondemand ,row for fiops...and underclock (if you don't use some"big games" it's useless to have all the power of the cpu)
.......or maybe the last f4k kernel with more parameters but i don't know if it work fine....

The best battery life I can get with this phone is with the last stable release of CM 12.1, and with the last f4k kernel for this ROM. This kernel allows undervolting. I can use a global offset of 150mV for all the frequency without any sign of instability (I have been using this settings for months). You should also deactivate wifi, bluetooth, NFC and so on if you are not using it. Also, use the power saving mode of you phone. With these settings and an extremely low using of my phone (only sms/whatsapp), it lasts for a week. I also put it in airplane mode during the night to save battery.

You can also power off your phone to have unlimited battery life Oh, im just kidding. With average usage on cm13 i have 4h30m sot.
Is f4k's kernel compatible with cm13? Or do we have a custom kernel for that version of cyanogenmod?

Ahah you're right. I challenged myself to get the very most out of my battery . 4h30 is not a lot though, might be due to the early stage of development of cm13.
I haven't found a custom kernel for cm13 yet. The development of this rom started something like 1 month ago, so that's a bit early I think.
It has gone some time now and a lot of new kernels and roms have surfaced.
What kernel(s) has improved YOUR speed and battery life the most compared to stock in every day use?

CM-based ROMs gave me better performance and battery life. Currently, I'm using Arter97's CM 13 ROM+Kernel and I'm getting longer screen on-time.

try l speed with ex kernel .It just works like a charm. Getting 6-7 SOT having no battery charged for 2 days.

On ex kernel side everything is default except i/o changed to fiops
On l speed side(im using beta, u may choose stable or beta) i choosed recommended profile and after selecting advanced ui i choosed as shown in screenshots
You may change as per your liking. I got no problems with performance and battery and everything works fine
arter kernel + his cm is a good combo
just like sultanxda builds for 1+1

can i get ur screen on time screenshot..
PureCM
I only have tried OOS, the SultanĀ“s version of Cyanogenmod and PureCM and only with PureCM I can get all day battery life :good:
Can anyone tell me that which is the best rom for screen on time.i am using stock rom.just me a rom that can give a 5+ hour screen on time...i have posted my usage in screenshot
OOS 4.0.2 with OB7 firmware. Then flash render EAS kernal. EAS will make sure that you get the most battery out of your phone.
It doesnt fully depend on the ROM. If u really want good battery life then its all about tweaking. For example flash LOS14.1 with bluspark/ElementalX/Franco then apply a AKT profile, for further explanation of this head to the advanced kernel tweaking thread and then download the akt APK. Then choose which profile u think suits the best. U can choose from battery/balanced/performance. Then u can easily reach 5h SOT. Hope i helped you.
I have 8-9h SOT on sultan's CM13
Screenshots: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70828408&postcount=668
Beta 11 with Franco's kernel. 4+ guaranteed SOT for me with a moderate gaming ( CoC and CR .... Both battery hogger )
Plus both Sims and 4g data on one is on mostly.
If you want more battery then you should try AKT ZHANA but for me it made my phone slow. So avoiding it at this moment.
Hope it helps. Thanks!
SOT is personal and doesn't mean a lot you can leave your display on with sync off, 0 Brightness and get 20hrs...
Try different setups maybe ditch some apps and log in with optimized sd browser etc
I have got my best SOT with Slimroms
It really depends on usage more than anything else. For example, I'm consistently getting 5-6h SOT on stock ROM and kernel, no doze tweaks or anything. Never got below 4h, once hit over 9h.

my constant is with 4 hours sot with stock 3.2.8. could be better with 4.0.2 or whatever.. but i stopped thinking about the sot coz its just making me paranoid everytime i look at the battery stats. as long as the phone can hold up till end of the day then im good and as long as i can get off a charger everytime im on low battery then im damn fine

I agree with this as well. I think back to my note 4, and just wanted a better that would last until I got home.. I frequently had to plug it up or swap batteries halfway through the day.
Now with heavier use, [and more knowledge of android] regardless of what I do, my oneplus 3 always makes it through the entire work and school day.
H2OS Beta 7, stock kernel + root +greenify +juice defender(default settings). It's the best battery duration I have with OP3. 5-7h sot generally.

They are talking about unplugged screen time ... I see no other way you could get 12 hours sot from this phone. I'm not calling you a liar just saying I don't think it's possible.
Please tell me which rom is overall gud for oneplus 3. Checking all the rom ia not possible for me it takes lot of time and i m really disappointed form oxygen os 4.0.3 it drain lots of battery please suggest me a rom with good battery life and performance i dont care much about customization
Iam afraid there is really nothing that can help you (or others like me..). I have tried allot of ROMS and they all result in somewhat the same result.
1 charge 1 day (or almost 1 day) Does not matter if i use custom kernel battery improvement tools or "special" tips and tricks at the end of the afternoon iam still running low. I know i use my phone ALLOT and i use allot of connectivity (WIFI, 3/4G, BT) that is properly the issue, but still its sad that the only thing that might help is buying the oneplus3T.

If you want to stick to MM then go for Sultan's CM & if you want to upgrade to N then go for Resurrection Remix. Both ROM's stock kernels have new good battery life but in the camera part they are out numbered. Sultanxda has done best job by optimising the inbuilt camera app at par with stock OOS & also he gives security patch updates too as soon as they are released.
Resurrection Remix on other hand works great with Android N but has buggy camera due to buggy camera on LOS & we know that till now OnePlus has not released blobs so can't do anything.
All this is my personal preference. You can try out both our any other ROM's from development section like Cypheros or AOSP extended which are AOSP & LOS based or for for Freedom OS or Experience ROM which are OOS based.
I have around 7h SOT with latest freedomOS and bluspark kernel. In my eyes thats pretty good and carries me easily through the day. And light use even 2 days.
If you have any heavy battery drain you should search for the reason. Check wakelocks and logcat too find out whats wrong.
