Ok, so I told myself I wasn't going to root or flash my Galaxy Tab til I saw a working Honeycomb port or whatever, but I may root and flash mainly bc the stock battery life sucks so much...and I currently have a all day roadtrip that I wont be able to charge my tab hardly at all. So, yea, I need a rom with good battery life. ASAP
im using overcome right now. just got my tab yesterday. so far i had it charged 100% when i woke up for work, 8 30 off the charger. its now 11 so from 8:30 to 11:00 my phone is at 83% and ive been using it heavy..[texting, video calls, rebooted like 3 times with rotos modem switcher.. downloaded a bunch of apps and played some games.]
ill let you know by the end of the day where im at, it seems like this will be around 10% by the time i go to bed if i continue to use it alot.
Ok, cool, ty keep me informed
+1 for Overcome have bee using my Tab all day and down only 50% in 8+ hours of moderate use.
hey checkin back in, almost time to get off work. so far from 830 to 330 with pretty good amount of use[texting, no phone calls tho, downloaded and installed some more apps].. im at about 48% right now.. so thats about 50% in 8 hrs with heavy use.. im sure if i didnt text all day at work ill be at like 60-70%
oh yeah wifi was switched off the whole time except on my lunch break for an hour.. gps is on.. sync is on and my screen brightness is about a little less than halfway[on the slider]
i was expecting better battery life but i must admit this is better than my vibrants battery so far, the vibrant wouldve been at 20-30% right now.
ill let you know where im at in a couple more hours..
Can I install Overcome on the Korean Version of the tab? Model number SHW-M180S.
I really want to install a rom, but I can't figure out what works on my tab.
Thanks!!
I used my phone heavy when I got home the batt life dropped to 10 by 8 o clock...

I think is good to know the version of Overcome/other firmware that you use.
Been keeping track of battery life since I flashed to overcome. Getting about 8 hours with moderate to heavy usage like some of the other posters here. Really not bad.
While overcomes does have a battery issue it is not a bad one....( Drops three percent as soon as I unplug the charger....does NOT happen with the stock ROM ) it is the best ROM out there with no comparison.
Piece of advice....NEVER update a rom. If a new one comes out do a FULL flash ONLY to avoid problems.
The rom that gives the best battery life is still the stock rom!
I am running latest Overcome on P1000 GSM and has 50% left from 50h idle and 3h usage on WiFi only. (no gsm radio usage)
Is there another ROMs with bettery battery??
overcome is good while boca is so damn good... ive use either of them and didn't have battery issue although overcome has a little better battery life than the faster and smoother boca rom.

Last friday purchased HTC Incredible S, since I'm kinda hardcore user of phones (previously had old crap Samsung Tocco Lite - was surfing on internet + listening music, without problem could survive 10-12hrs nonstop use), now when I tried same with Incredible S, it end up that after 2-3 hrs of surfing + some app using for awhile, I ended up at 30-35% from 100%. I did turned all syncs off, brightness to minimums, turned of almost everything and all tasks, so it was just like test for how long surviving it with no internet(wifi/mobile),any sync, any sound/vibration and low brightness - it survived 1 hour longer then before. Like srsly 400£ worth phone with battery what can't hold even 6 hrs?
P.S. first try with apps and such was record for 4 hrs, next test without any apps etc etc survied 5 hrs...
The battery gets better in time.

I see that you have Incredible too, how long your battery lasts when using atleast 2h of app/call/internet usage?
same here, I need to keep charging it. maybe upgrading the kernel and rom helps.

I'm seeing this aswell. The more i use my phone the better the battery gets.
my battery does last 1day 12-15hr. All sync on, mobile networks on, background sync on. Normal use, that is incredible.
well when i first got my IS, the battery life is ridiculously short, from 100% -> 20% in 2 hrs of intense use!
But the battery life is getting better at day 3 (around 5x full charge cycle), do the calibration thing, use till 1%, but make sure phone is not dead, and recharge to 100%, redo for like 5 times.
If battery life still sucks, i think you get a bad battery
My battery lasts 9 hours of intense use (Wifi,3G,Games,Surf net,Listen to music)
Hello
I have installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check battery consumption. You can see so which are the applications that drain more your battery, tipically the display.
My battery runs one full day, even one and half with Wifi and BT always ON and normal telephone usage but if I switch on 3G it decrease rapidly and sometimes cannot reach one full day.
So in my case the 3G connection drains a lot.
Stefano
I've had mine since late april and I get a whole day, at least, out of it. Yesterday, I actually went 24 hours without charging it and I still had 30% left. The only "syncs" that are on, are my gmail, weather and Whatsapp. I can definitely confirm it gets better with time!
has anyone ordered from Amazon.Co.Uk, I was wondering if they can refund for phone, so I can take instead HTC Sensation :/
Anyways, I got this phone like 3-4 days ago, now I'm trying to maximally drain it with apps/games to get that battery life up
sense drains your battery...
and also 3g drains it if you have a unstable connection
what i allways do is out of the box, drain it 100%
charge it 100%
drain it 100%
charge it 100% and your done...
might be a ghost story, but surely seems to work for me, however 12hours and mine is empty as fk, with gaming, bad 3g connection, wifi, gtalk etc.etc. aka daily usage..
but thats cuz im running cyanogenmod, which isnt 100% stable yet
Do people not read anything these days? You're complaining about battery life of a smart phone... None of them last longer than a day or two max. Not to mention it's a new toy and you can find yourself on it more often. Checking the battery constantly kills your battery. Tones of widgets kill your battery.

I do understand about 1-2 days of uptime for phone is ok, but mine doesn't survive even 6h +_+ , contacted HTC and they said that battery is fauly.
ANyways... I dont use widgets and actually turned of all sync and stuff like that to prevent battery drain, even in airplane mode, it drains from 40 to 5% (to complete dead) in about 1-2 hrs
I find battery life pretty poor. After charging to 100%, it can be down to 90% within half an hour - without really even using the phone. I can turn on the phone at 7am, and it will be down to between 50 and 40% by 11pm, never normally enough to get through the next day.
I'm going to try some overclocking to see if that helps.

Overclocking will drain even more battery, downgrade better speed of it and it should save battery
I've found that for the first few weeks of having the phone, the battery life will be crap... cause you're generally always messing around with it.
Lately I've been getting two work days out of a charge (6am to ~6pm the next day). I rooted the phone, uninstalled a bunch of bloatware, and set it to underclock when the screen is off (although I'm having issues with that one at the moment).
I'm thinking to buy other phone instead of this (amazon is accepting this for refund/replacement now), so I was thinking if it's worth take Sensation instead of Incredible S?
Can somebody help me out here? My battery life is really bad, today I lost about 10% battery indicator 4 hours with the phone lying in my pocket! When I use the phone its even worse. I am on cm7 nightly 09302011, and it seems like everyone brags about the battery life, just not me. 3g always on, bluetooth off, background data on, autosync off, no live wallpaper and å clock widget. What could be wrong?

Are you using a custom Kernel? Since installing the NeoBlaze kernel my phone has started using power on idle.. last night it used 40% charge while completely idle and not in use..
I don't really care because I carry 2 batteries around with me at all times, but it does seem changing around roms/kernels messes with battery life. Perhaps you just need to hit up eBay, batteries can be had for $2.80 shipped.
Without Juicedefender, 10% in 4 hours with no use is actually pretty good for this phone.. I'm jealous. I get that kind of battery life with data OFF most of the time.
No custom kernel. Thought I read in the forum that ppl got like 3% loss overnight. Maybe thats without data...

get widgetsoid and turn your data on and off (and 2g/3g) on and off quick and easy.
who on earth needs data running over night anyway ?
same as watching full hd videos on 480x800 screen..... thats just dumb

I guess 3g is the sinner. Installed JUiceDefender and went from 11h to 32h battery life.
Not sure what happened to my phone, I'm getting 4 hours off a charge now with relatively light use.. just some web browsing and screen off idle half the time.. Going to try topogigi rom and see what happens.

Hi, I've been reading through xda-developers forums for a long time now and i'm happy to say you all have helped me through all the problems i've ever face with my N1. This is my first thread here. Sadly, with a weird problem.
I've had the N1 since google first gave it to its employees till this January, then i got the Gnex. So, I gave my N1 to my mom cuz' she seemed to like it. Anyway, until the day i handed it over to her I used to get a solid 24 ~ 40 hours of battery life on normal day-to-day usage. I factory reset the phone and handed it over to her. Since she got it, she's been complaining that the battery doesn't last more than 3 or 4 hours and it gets ridiculously hot when charging (stock battery). So, I told her to get a new battery from amazon and she did. But, the problem still persists with this new battery too.
It's running on Stock rom.
So, any suggestions please?
You can benchmark you battery life time with this application :
Battery Drain
I was used to have 5% per hour with my stock rom. But When using it much a day, I could reach more than 25%/hour. Wich correspond to 4 hour of battery life

Hello all!
I am new to the forum so I hope make it without any errors.
I bought the Optimus 2x cellphone last week whith the hope of getting the good one (the one without freezes and black screens) fortunately the cell worked very nicely. I updated to gingerbread and I feel it very good. But I have the good known problem of battery consumption.
Now I have a battery related question. After the update I charged the phone and get the battery indicator stuck at 100% I rooted the phone, installed Battery Calibration and calibrated the phone (left the battery to reach 0% then fully charged to 100% hit calibrate and left the telephone fully discharge again)
The issue is that when the thelephone was at 100% the voltage indicator of the battery calibration was in 4100 mV and here comes the weird thing. When reached 0% the voltage indicator was saying 2000mV.
My question is if this values are right. Someone with good battery duration and the Battery calibration installed could tell me the correct values? I thought that the phone shut down when battery was down to 0 mV but maybe the problem is that my battery is just using "half" battery.
Sorry for my english. I am not native english speaker.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
That is voltage, 3300mv = 3.3 volts.
Fully charged the battery would be at 4180mv, fully discharged is around 3200mv usually, or a bit higher.
The phone shuts off when the battery gets below the usable range, which I believe is slightly above 3000mv.
So yes a range of 3.3 to 4.2 volts is perfectly normal for a 3.7v battery.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. So I think I should get used to it. My battery doesnt last more than 12 hours of my regular use. A some internet browsing and some messaging. No music, videos, or games.
Someone recommends the extended batteries of 3500 mAh for this phone? That will make the phone last more time?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Reaper511989, I have bought an extended battery from HERE. It is fatter, but not ugly. And the battery lasts a lot longer. I use it when I'm travelling. I have no idea where in the world you are, but the battery was from a company in the UK.
Have fun. Anil
Huge Battery drain on DjangoManouche/Guestekrnl
Hi,
I was on CM7 kang of temasek and I decided to flash a stockbased rom.
Now I'm on :
DjangoManouche 1.2 rom
Guestekrnl V1.6.1
BB V20Q with ril
I am using Go launcher which comes with the rom
The battery drain is incredibly huge, 8 hours tops with very little use
Anybody some ideas ?
your lucky. i get 6. if im playing 3 albums of mp3's during work. nothing on. just 2g.
imagine if i turned on gps,wireless,bt 3g/4g ahhhh . (cant use fone how its sposed to be used) have ot turn it DOWN a notch. its to HUNGRY on juice. seriously lookin @ one of those MUGEN batteries.
6 hours is just wrong... in the most intense usage you should get 2 hours of screen ON time.. Wifi with 2g on trolling forums with browser/tapatalk should be 4 hrs.

6hours listening to music is pretty normal. If you want longer battery live, stop using the device.

Well in that case you might wanna repair your device since you seem to have the same issue with all roms. That should not be the case that it uses the same amount of battery without using it, especially if no app is loading the cpu....

well actually. cm7 i got about 5-6 hours batt life, cm9 i got no more than 8, GB (stock rom) can usually go from 5-8 hours. but with no bugs. so i am back on GB.
so i dont think device is broken/dodgy since the batt life fluctuates a little. depending on the rom.
my main issue is, ive been reading about ppl using froyo and going to GB and having mass battery drain. now im thinking about going to froyo.

Could you please share your findings? Since I'm having the same problem and started thinking about returning to stock as well.
I have a new 1254. I never used the stock ROM. I unlocked it and put cm13 out of the box. I get about 5-6 hours of screen time out of it . Mostly browsing, I used it for movies on a flight. Is this good? Not sure what to expect. Would a stock ROM be better?
What's everyone getting out of their battery?

i'm still on stock ROM (LP 5.1), rooted, bootloader unlocked, but running Xposed. I get great battery life (rarely dipping below 50% at the end of the day) to the point where I'm hesitant to flash anything else.
I'm new to this device (1 week old), changed ROM on day one for Mokee lastest nightly and battery life was really bad, it lasted half day. Yesterday I flashed BB kernel and Intelliprofile in battery saver mode and now I get almost a day.
I don't play games, mainly browsing and some GPS.
So far I'm really disappointed with the battery of this phone, I bought it for its massive 3.900 mah battery but it's lasting the same as my previous Galaxy S4mini (1900mah).
I went to computerfreak ROM. Moto ROM is definitely not as nice as CM. I want to see what this phone is really made of on stock ROM. Unless it's ridiculously better I will probably go back to CM.
Battery life is definitely better. My phone rarely warms up a bit. I wonder what causes this pretty big difference. I think my next step will be a custom kernel in cm13. I am guessing the cm kernel is way more performance oriented than stock.

I'm going to try with Stock MM (MPG24.107-70.2 Brazilian 6.0.1 for XT1254[TWRP Flashaeable]) tomorrow.
I been on vacation since I started the thread. I get about a day out of the phone with some city map use, occasional browsing(1.5h max) , pictures 15 min of phone talking and about 20 texts. I have about 20% left at the end of the day.
Is the battery capacity displayed in apps like gsam the actual capacity or designed capacity? I wonder if I should just replace the battery.
I don't remember ever getting 5-6hrs SOT. Even when new, I would get about 3-4hrs... and I'm still getting about that on stock-44. It's good enough for my needs, but I still wonder how people get so much more SOT than I do... what am I doing wrong?!
My wife is barely pushing 2hrs SOT... really don't know what's wrong with her phone... still trying to figure that out. She ends up with a dead phone by the end of the day, with very little usage. (I game a little on my phone, and I still get more SOT).
I get around 4 hours of SOT with playing games and browsing. I'm using computer freeks ROM because I can't go without 4g. 3g is just so freaking slow it makes me not even want to use my phone.
For me, the best ROM for battery life is the Brazilian Marshmallow ported to droid turbo by @iiWoodstocK. I get ~6 hours of SoT and once the phone lasted 3 days with >6 hours of SoT. Usage included Youtube, WhatsApp, tapatalk, browsing, routine calls and text and a few hundred times of opening the settings and looking at the battery screen
I am finally getting great battery life
CM 13
BHB27 kernel
Interactive governor
Intelliprofiles
Govtuner set to daily
Greenified shallow hibernation most apps.
My locked phone battery draw with music playing is ~50-70 mah. Can go as low as ~30 without music. I used to be above 300 mah. Phone never warms up while idle. I get good SOT battery life, but I don't have numbers to compare.

Let me chime in on this.. Do not put a lot of stuff on your device with stock rooted or unrooted.. My phone had Xposed and gravity box installed.. For some reason, a lot of apps tend to over heat this phone to the point were it become useless.. Hell the battery would drain in about 3 hrs of use.. I called Moto about it, and at one point my phone was 129F hot... This phone is fine, but can not imop handle a lot of apps... My wife Note 4 can handle anything I throw at it without ever over heating..
My phone used to get hot browsing... heck even sitting. Now it does not get as warm even with GPS and music streaming at the same time.
