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.

That's a problem within Cm7. It cannot be fixed at the moment...
Try custom CM 7 from KANG is awesome the audio is fixed and battery life is as good as stock!

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.

What battery tweak do you think is better:
Deca or collin?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I myself wouldnt use any. It actually done more harm to my phone then anything. they both took my battery down horribly(im one of the rare ones tho).
Either one is a good choice so either way your ok.
DECA is more customized to help with his kernels if you flash those instead of using the stock CM6 kernel.

I'm running the CM7 7.0.2. stable version and the battery life is just awful. I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong or what, but it drains fast and takes a while to charge. When I look at battery use on there it says that display is the most, followed by cellular standby. If someone can help that would be great. Thanks!
its like that for everyone.. they are curently working on the problem and have found the problem.. it wont be much longer till its fixed.
Ok great news. Thanks for the info!
Your not using set CPU are you that killed me then I researched ( looked at CM7 thread)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
No I'm sure not. What settings do I need to keep in Set CPU?
I am not using SetCPU but I am OC in the CM settings menu and also see bad battery life but I expected not so great battery life. I think Set CPU is really bad in a CM7 rom.
agreed that's the only big downside to cm7. I think bat life is half is stock 2.2
Youre not supposed to use setcpu with cm7

Hey everyone,
after flashing thousands of kernels and ROMs I finally found out what drains my battery: It's Green Power (I even bought premium...)!
This app is supposed to SAVE battery via toggling data on and off like Juice Defender but somehow it makes my CPU run mad... Has anyone else experienced this so far? I'm really upset cuz I paid money for this crappy app but I'm also glad that I found eventually out the cause of draining
Cheers!
pfff.. discovery... GreenPiss is draining my wallet, so it is logic that GreenPower will drain your battery...
I use green power premium too, but so far I haven't any problem with battery drain.
Why you think that it's the cause?

Well since I uninstalled it, my battery life has increased a lot! That's why
Check battery use from settings,there you can see if it causes the battery drain

hey guys i herd there is a kernel for this phone that makes the phone overlock to 1.8ghz i cant find it can anyone link the thread to me if there even is one thanks!
They were before, but it is unstable and it fried CPU's so the devs dialed them down

I am pretty sure you can still download some 1.8 clockable kernels, just not for 4.2.2

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.
Hey Guys,
I have a big problem and I hope that you can help me.
My problem is about my battery life.
I can use my phone one day, 8 hours- 17 hours but after, my battery is dead.
I don't use a lots my phone just snapchat, twitter, facebook, google, sms...
Two mounth ago, I hold 2 day and my utilisation don't change.
I use greenify, ds battery saver but no result.
I'me really disappointed and I hope you can help me.
I hope my batterie is not dead because I don't want to buy a new battery on internet and my operator don't want to send me a new battery.
I have a samsung galaxy s advance (i9070) and I test lots rom (cm 10, cm 10.1, cm 10.2, cm 11, stock + kernel, etc...)
I'm actually on cm 11.
Thanks a lots and sorry for my very bad english.
Check deepest sleep state. Also check CPU settings - set min to 200 with governor ondemandq+ scheduler cfq.

I haven't seen any notable difference in battery life on any 4.3 or 4.4 rom. Surfing the web over wifi and brightness set manually to medium i lost about 12-13% charge in 30 minutes.
Higher battery drain can be a placebo effect too. You installed a new rom and expect at least as good battery life as on stock, let's say. Then on your new rom you keep eye on the battery, waking your phone more often and checking the battery status and stats, thus draining the battery little more overall. I won't tell that's the case right now, it's just one possible reason people see their batteries dying sooner. Now i'm currently on fresh CM 10.1 (build 1117) and will find out if there is any difference in battery life compared to CM 11.

Right! I solved my battery problem hiding the battery icon on the statusbar lol
on cm11 05\03 with pegasusq + sioplus, one day with medium usage (3g activated when needed and some vg)
Well CM 10.1 doesn't give me more battery life than kitkat. With my usage pattern and settings it's draining about 26% per hour.
Hey, I flash harshjelly and after one Day of utilisation, my Juice is 26 % now... My client service don't want to help me...
