hi there,
i have some problems with my phone. the battery drains very fast. like i receive a sms and leave it there untouched for 2 hours and the battery drains from 100% to about 60%
Another problem is that i get force close on almost every app. facebook, go sms and so on. and the respond time is very slow. like SLOW
Thank for reading. i hope that there will be replies

i dont think so but anyway, i am now using Apocalypse ROM by itasoulas
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I've manage to figure out (not really figure, more like a hunch/guess) what went wrong. its the kernel.
now im using Apocalypse ROM [Firekernel OC] by itasoulas
Im really sorry but I dont understand any of the tech stuff posted here, but what I do know is that my 1 yr old battery on my Ace is like worth 3 minutes of calls now (only)!!!
Pls help. Should I get a new battery instead?
Thanks!

~~~when I say,'HENSHIN',u better run~~~
Hey,Check how much you have clocked your phone at and the governer
Settings>CyanogenModSettings>Performance(press OK for the warning)>CPU Settings;If the governor is ONDEMAND, change it to Smartassv2 and increase Min value to 245. I use Apocalypse and my battery life is awesome(check the attachments).
Second lower your screen brightness simple yet effective. also increase the Max value in the CPU settings to 902 for zero lag.Also set the network to only 2G if you dont want your 3G on all the time.This saves lot of battery life too.
Press Thanks If I helped

DCTopTeam - u can check the physical battery condition whether is bloated (feels expanded), this is an indicator that the battery is about to die
Flash a kernel, i recommend The ace kernel beta 4, it is discontinued, but has no bugs, a long battery life included

902 seems high... that might drain the battery faster. i don't go higher than 825.

im not one to say I have used all 3, ive only used CM7. it was good. actually even MIUI is good but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with betterbatterystats. that way you can optimize battery life regardless of whatever rom you're on.
I could go 1-2 days on my MIUI currently FR rom, moderate usage, all my syncs are off, i manually refresh for notifications.

What do you mean "but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with better batterystats" ? I usually dont have anything running in the background...
I have used CM 7, all MIUI, Lewa, and Mokee, and Ice BlacK too
In my view
1. CM7 have better battery life (but as I use to play 3 D games I won't prefer)
2. Second is Galnet MIUI, built by elol, decent battery life with good performance.
3. Third is Mokee, It is the best ROM for gamer and for others too who don't use to play game. It almost serve me for whole day with games, music and all mail, FB, Linkedin sync on for 24 hrs.
For me best choice is "Bumblebee" it's really a stable ROM and give's really great battery life, Best in which i have used.
In term's of Gaming this ROM is really great, it give's games extra smoothness to Game's by increasing FPS with help of it's new GPU derive.
This all make this ROM as my daily use ROM.

google xda betterbatterystats. download the app and follow the thread, those are uber battery sensitive people in the community.
so you manually sync all your apps as well? even calendar? and leave gtalk signed out?
wakelocks are what keeps the phone away from entering deep sleep. from the betterbatterystats app, if u see ur device entering 96% and above Deep Sleep after a night's full charge and allowed to idle, then good job, no matter what rom ur running u should be doing it right.
wakelocks are what cause a battery drain even when your phone is off idle while u sleep. it isnt only about background apps.
Yes,,I was use betterbatterystats,,I have managed all wakelocks and partial too,,it's give me battery life more time
But battery use info from setting doesn't change,,still give me "Android System" for highest % deal,,

post your dump here. and also at the BBS thread where u got the app.
so unless you are getting 96% and above deep sleep, id say you have not completely managed your wakelocks yet. also what are your governor and i/o scheduler settings? OC'ed at? do you have a screen off profile to lower clock speed when screen off?
battery use info may show that, but most important is u charge your phone to full, let it discharge while u sleep and wake up next day, OBTAIN 96% DEEP SLEEP OR HIGHER. figure out what are the wakelocks in BBS. if BBS is managed correctly, even if your android system is using highest %, no big deal, more importantly your battery isn't draining like mad.

Hello guys. I would like to hear some suggestions regarding this. So far I've tried CM7 and emanoN, but both of them drain like hell (specially CM7). Please avoid usual recomendations (turn off data, bluetooth, wireless and all those basic tips).
If there's an app, script or tweak that helps, please share it with me! My priority is battery life, above everything else.
Hope to get some replies! Thanks in advance
Skipping all the basic tips, I suggest you use a pure source-kind of rom. Something like the MOre rom or Pure CM7 by mebitek or kittenlinux, another one is GingerMod. Battery lives one those roms are so far one of the most cheered for. CM9 Beta 7 also had incredible battery life, although the link is probably gone already as mirroring is not allowed by Maclaw. As for the scripts, some mini users find these annoying and just a piece of cr*p, but as for me, I really made sure that it wasn't just a placebo effect. SlaidyBoost v2.3 works well and am happy with the performance and battery life boost that comes with it.

Thanks for your comment! What about this one?
That one was originally made to improve battery life when you use wifi most of the time for browsing the net or such, but I can see that other tweaks have been added for an overall change, and based on the comments there, some users found their minis slow down a bit. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's best if you would simply flash the rom you chose to use, boot it up and set up the settings you want initially, then reboot to recovery, make a backup of that rom, then start experimenting with various scripts found here in XDA that is compatible with our mini. If you don't like the results, then simply restore the backup you made earlier. I'll try that script you told me about if I have the time, though.

I recommend you the stock ROM if you want battery life.
Stock samsung rom has the best battery life. But, on official CM7 with 604MHz for max, 122MHz for min and ondemand cpu governor, i'm having good battery life, can't complain at all. Haven't tried stock rom for ages, maybe my current setup is even better

Thanks man, but I don't think CM7 is the best option when looking for long battery life. I'm going to try de stock based ones and decide if any of them if better than the actual stock rom. Andro-ID, emanoN and GingerMod are apparently the most popular ones. Regarding the others, MORe is discontinued, so I wouldn't go for it, same as the one from kittenlinux. I'll give CyanMobile and mebitek's a try too! Trying GingerMod right now.
CM7.2 is draining battery fast because at default it's using Lil'GV2 governor which is veery agressive regarding CPU frequency! When you set it to ondemand it's much better. It costs you nothing to try it out if you haven't, stock rom is just too ugly and slowish when not rebooted regulary

Installed GingerMod (smartassV2 governor) and overnight battery dropped 35%. That is definitely not normal, and happened with the other ROMs too! Can anyone help me identify the problem?
Edit: BTW, the phone is two weeks old, and when I first bought it I didn't experience this huge drain.

TBH stock rom didn't work for me well especially regarding battery life. CM 7.2 official 710MHz/245MHz ONDEMAND battery lasts and lasts and phone is faster. Couldn't ask for more considering mini is entry level android phone for some time :good:

why dont u recallibrate battery after flashing ROMs:
1. Use app battery callibration from store, the developper is Nema i think.
Thanks, but I do that regularly, and as far as I'm concerned that doesn't improve battery life, just the accuracy of the % shown.
Chocobread with antutu battery saver is amazing I don't charge my phone one and a half day and still the battery is at 20 I love this life ... battery life.

I think stock official CM 7.2 ROM does not contain the kernel. Can anybody please confirm?
On the pc, most of power management is by the kernel. Guess here too, we should look at kernel rather than the rom.?
I may be wrong though.
So, OP, which ROM did you settle for?

Still trying them. I'd say Andro-ID is the best until now! Unfortunately it doesn't support many languages, including mine (spanish).

first, i am sorry for requesting the expert devs or anyone else, to port this Kernel.. as this is a very battery friendly kernel in my galaxy ace.
this kernel is actually done for the Nexus S, but i see no more development in Nexus S section.. or the expert devs can please make a kernel that focused in battery life ? thanks before..

Have you tried the current custom kernels?
I am using SpeedMod 3-9 and it has an excellent battery life - on heavy usage (internet, emails, ebook reading, messaging and phone calls) I reach the end of the day with at least 30% left - and I am talking about heavy use - around 4-5 hours.
For me this is more than enough.
But I am using "ondemand" CPU governor. If I change to "powersave" the battery consumption will be even lower, I think.
My suggestion to you - give it a try - our beloved Note is one of the best in battery tests - and with these tricks it is even better!

You even can reduce power by using a single collar wallpaper.
For black take a picture in bl&white in the lowest resolution with the lens covered with your finger.
You can select this picture as background.
If you like an other single collar you can do it with a paper of your choice

really ? i'm using that for one day, with heavy use of emails, texts, and watching CCTV in my office with 3G always + wifi = end up 10% in 6 P.M from 7 A.M. and one more thing, i love live wallpapers, so i use Koi wallpaper, and auto brightness.. i thought that with 2500 MAh battery it would last more than 1 days of heavy use... you know, i seldom use that in my house, but very heavy user in the office, no games.
bump, how about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257497 ? more kernels = more choices for users
there is already a ton of custom kernels for the note, Surely you havent tested them all ?
99% of battery drain is down to the user ! anyone will confirm this, You should look a bit deeper into your configuration.
start from a full wipe, test several kernels and try all of the Governors & Schedulers, Use something like 'better battery stats' for precise information of which apps use most power, fiddle with settings like auto-sync, wifi off when sleeping, data network deactivated when not in use ect ect.
1 day battery life is about the average for the average user, This is a powerful device with a massive screen and 2 CPU's, you cant expect the stock battery to last forever, Maybe consider an extended battery ?

For the usage you described, it seems that no modern smarphone would handle it - maybe the Moto Maxx, with its huge battery - but it is not in the league of the Galaxy Note.
But, instead of going to an extended battery solution, which would make your Note heavy and thick, you could go for a "spare battery" solution. And you can find plenty of good quality batteries+charger for less than $20 on Ebay - this should solve your problems entirelly.

Well you have said it all and given your own answer in your post - you are a heavy user and there are no scripts on xda that will give you additional battery unless you bring 2 or 3 stock batteries with you.
Extended battery is a bit too big in my opinion and will make the Note really too bulky, but if you don't mind the size this is definitely the way to go to have more juice by the end of the day.
This is my first post . I have been searching about battery drain issues from about 2 months. Yes ! two months ! now I found it better to ask it myself. I have a GT-I9000 with 1650mA Samsung's battery, the problem is that , one point drains in around 3 - 4 minutes maximum. I am using CM10.1 , i have tried about a thousand roms , several kernels just checking for the battery life . On stock gingerbread rom i usually get 5 minutes for a single point with wifi and cellular data OFF . Now I am really exhausted trying different roms and kernel ( flashing 10 times a day and sticking to my phone checking battery , is really now pissing me off ). All I want to know is that ? Is this okay ? 3 minutes for a single point on jellybean roms and 5 minutes on gingerbread ones ? tried every kernel no oc no overclock , nothing. Is it about more cpu usage on jellybean roms ? what should i do now i really am pissed off totally. how many minutes does it take for your phone for a 1% to drop ?
If you use your phone, then it's normal that 1% drop per 3-5 minutes but if it's in sleep, well then its draining fast so i think your battery is broken.

Its normal to experience less battery on JB roms because JB as a whole is a more demanding version of Android. Project Butter- 60fps hardware acceleration- while making the phone buttery smooth, is definitely going to take a toll on both the processor and in turn the battery. There are SO many things in Jelly Bean that will definitely have a significant impact on your battery life, compared to stock Gingerbread.
I've had cases where I've drained almost all my battery just setting up my phone.
As compacity said, choose a rom and a kernel that you think you like, give it a few days (charge/discharge cycles more rather) and then post a screenshot of your battery stats. Once you install a rom in needs time to calibrate, which is done through the charge/discharge cycles. You might fnd that you actually have pretty good usage
Oh, and when you do take your screenshot, just for clarity please state whether you've underclocked, changed governor etc.

Well I'm on stock most of the time because I'm out and about quite often so I need some pretty stable battery life...
But some pretty good combos I've had (and do remember that these are only prsonal results, you will have to try them yourself- it does take trial and error)
Roms:
-RemICS-JB
-Liquidsmooth
-Gamerzrom
-EXTRAordinary
-Slim Bean
Kernels:
-Semaphore
-Mackay
-Latrop
But again, purely personal experimenting and flashing. Those are only what I've gotten decent/good battery life with before

Hey everybody!
I've been using pac 4.4.4 for a while now and I've noticed (how couldn't I) that my battery is draining super fast. For example: I have 70%, I'll go out for a hour and leave my phone home. When I come back, the battery percistance is about 55%. It drains even faster when I'm using my phone active. Any solutions? I'm running PAC 4.4.4 with it's own kernel and L_Speed Mod 1.2 from xda ( can't remember devs name and too lazy to add a link, you might know it).
Thanks in advance.

same, i have bad battery drain(not as bad as yours though) on AOSP based roms. Right now i switched to dmodv6 which is touchwiz based rom and im having way bettery battery life. You could try out dmodv6 and see if you have bettery battery life.

No, not really.
I just tried this app called battery doctor and I must say that it is a life saver. You can get it for free on google play. It's awesome
did it help ur battery drain?
some roms have 1 GHz bug that drain a lot of battery. Download CPU spy plus app from playsotre and check if it always stay at 1000 MHz (1 GHZ) or not. if it happens, reboot your phone with wifi off

So.. I installed this cpu spy app, it does show that my cpy has been most of the time at 1000mhz, but not all the time. Screenshot below. I'll try rebooting with wifi off now
Edit: it had no effect

ok so no 1 GHz bug. how old is your battery?
If your battery is 1 year old, the battery will have problems...

ok. how long is your battery life?
Maybe try a different rom, like cm 11 or carbon. They might give you different results. If you really dont want to switch you could try out this mod call L Speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138 I use it and it kinda improved my battery life and performance.
