Ok so I am compairing this to stock vs cyanogen 6 RC3. I have seen better battery life on stock then I am on cyanigen 6. I don't know what is eating away at my phones battery. I have a task killer but who knows if it is doing its job. Any tips or suggestions I'm all ears

I get better battery life with cm6 rc3. Make sure it's not some bad coded application that's eating away your battery.
My battery life sucks with CM6-RC3. Stock was much better. I'm trying to figure out what bad app I have installed that's eating away at my battery.

Is there an app that dispays what's actually draining the battery?
My cappy seems to randomly drain fairly steadily and quickly some days but not others with the same type of usage so I want to find out exactly whats happening.
Im currently using watchdog and systempanel but neither really show what's going on.

Hi, Nooby question coming up.
recently rooted my SGS2 using the Chainfire Kernel and now have noticed that Android OS is prominent in my battery usage, sometimes around 50%in an hour,
Is this normal?
I also run a HTC IS stock and I have not yet seen ANdroid OS on the usage stats.
What is Android OS doing as I have also noticed Android System in the list at times?
I'm looking for a ROM for my girlfriend's Captivate. Basically the one giant caveat she has with her current ROM (CM7 stable) is horrible battery life. I'm talking -10% from unplugged with absolutely no screen on time. One problem with the phone is the power button is stuck, so she relies on volume wake and sleep from the notification power widget. I need something that can provide these two features (can be GB or ICS, doesn't matter) plus the best possible battery life (I know the usual YMMV, but at least on an average). She doesn't even care about other features since she only uses Facebook, Gtalk, and the regular calling and messaging features, so it can be as stripped down as possible. Oh, and she likes Touchwiz, so if it can have that it'll be a nice bonus. Thank you!

About the power bottom look down there is tread down that talk about the power bottom... : )

There is no "best". My experience native roms will offer best battery life in general.

Well you right there's no best edit that but try using an ics ROM they all have good battery life...

fasty
I have been looking up the same thing for a day or two now and I have read lots of good things about Fasty ROM. I am about to flash the latest kk4. Let you know how it goes.
I am on cm7.2RC and i love it so far. Its fast, smooth and works like a charm. But the only one thing i hate about it is that it has terrible battery life. Within 3-4 hours of complete charge my battery runs down to 20%. I could flash a different rom but i dont wanna do that because i'm loving this rc build, well besides the terrible battery life.
Please help.

I've been using an app called Juice Defender and it has honestly (almost) doubled my battery life. Give it a try! Worst comes to the worst, you just delete it

All juice defender does is disable the wifi and 3g when not needed. I disable them manually from habit after use and because of that battery increase was 0.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
you can do the same thing in tasker or even more as in juicedefender. Tasker is also cheaper.
Agreed, juicedefender will only disable wifi and 3g connections.
Do it manually, without the need to install other app, and save your battery... One day with wifi disabled you hardly will use more than 10% of your battery (without gaming, just music)
Juice defender no doubt disables wifi and cellular data and ofcorse you can do it manually but it has the option of disabling wireless connections when the screen is off which saves a little more battery life. Get the free version, coz i used the Ultimate one and besides more manual options nothing else is different.

well i found a 1600mah battery compared to the 1350mah battery that's already in there does it make a big difference?
Edit: found a 2450mah it has good ratings so I'll go with that one BTW I installed a cm10.1 based ROM android 4.2.1 so my battery is in pain

I've haven't tried any other custom roms beside CM 10.1.3 stable: no bloatware, better than stock battery life, and tons of customization. I wouldn't want to try anything else.
Update#1: I've been experiencing frequent reboots through out the day. Seems to happen randomly or before and after being plug in to charge.
Update#2: Too many crashes/reboots on the CM10.1.3 stable. I couldn't take it anymore so I flash CM10.2..latest nightly. Amazing! No reboots, far stable than 10.1. Gonna stick with 10.2 for a week or two then try custom roms as ProBam and Carbon.
Update#3: So 10.2 does crash and restarts. It will happen while it is plugged in "Charging". GAPPS would crash i noticed. wth
HoloBlur, Carbon, or CyanogenMod hands down.

4.2 ROMs (especially AOKP): +++battery, -stability.
4.3 ROMs (LiquidSmooth 2.10, Carbon): -battery, +stability.
There is no golden middle choice. However, 4.3 roms provide much more features and the battery life is compared to stock (but still worse), so, not a bad choice to try.
Tried all everything you guys have said and I've come to the conclusion that either my battery is defective or this phone just sucks when it comes to battery life regardless or ROM or kernel. Thanks anyways

What kind of Battery life are you getting? I get anywhere from 6-8 hours with heavy use to 16 hours with light use... Stock battery btw
One time I was playing gangstar Vegas on medium settings with lowest brightness for like 30min and the battery went all the way down to 25%. I started out with 100%. Also even on standby the battery goes down like 15% with WiFi and everything off and airplane mode on. I just don't get it. It pisses me off. The battery lasts me like let's say 8hrs with VERY VERY low usage. Like I'm talking like only maybe 25-50min screen time at like 25 percent brightness.

Sounds like you need the MAXX battery mod. My battery will last in excess of 30 hours on one charge. The battery isn't that cheap, but imo, it was totally worth it.

Best Rom
in my opinion, holoblur 0.9 tuned edition or x 0.9 Pure performance edition, are the most stable and less battery consumption, the other roms left out of the ADH standard features like HDMI mirror. The other functions that handle the other ROMS are esthetic and user support that we like to be playing with our phones giving better appearance.
Hey guys. So went back to stock 4.1.1 and its been great. I'm using the stock kernel. I'll get the maxx battery soon or on black Friday but overall in terms of battery life, stock has it.

So you're not running rocking the "HoloBlur-X ROM PurePerformance™ Edition" anymore?
There is no best ROM/Kernel, try them all and see which "best" suits you.
