Is it just me or is the battery life on ice cold sandwich pretty bad. I'm struggling to get through the day on full charge. Never had that problem with other sense roms.

I've had awful battery life on every version I've tried, 4.3, 6.1.1, 7.2 & 8.1.1 The only mod I made to was changing the CPU governor. Tried several, SmartAss, SmartAss v2, Conservative off the top of my head. Could never get the battery to last more than 7 or 8 hours. And that was if I hardly used the phone.
I love the ROM but its completely impractical for me to use it the battery life is that poor. Using CM 7.2 I can get over 24 hours out of a charge depending how much I use the phone
Well I set up CM7 and ice cold using the same apps, kernel, clock speed and everything and got very similar battery life. Interesting.

I'm going to give 8.2 a go over the next few days see if thats helps. I used to got a lot of random reboots on previous versions. Reading the change log it looks like those bugs have been resolved, maybe that is something to do with it
I am pretty much running it out of the box without any modifications. Thought asop roms would work better in terms of performance and battery life. Looks like I might have to ditch this for another rom

We have this phone in our family, and have been waiting for ICS update. But the reviews are quite bad. Seems like the phones hardware isn´t good enough to handle ICS smoothly. A lot of reports about slow phone with a lot of lagging.
Maybe it works better with a rooted phone though.
When I was on ice cold battery life was excellent but after I backed up the Rom, tried a different rom, then restored the ice cold backup, battery life was terrible

Does the screen really eat up that much battery? I do keep my screen on a lot from texting to social networks. Would a deferent kernel possible ease the screen usage or is that how much power the screen consumes with a pretty good amount of usage?

Yes ,
I turn auto off and run it about a 1/3 of the way and in the dark I turn it even Lower sometimes and the batt seems ok ,
If I was constantly doing stuff on the phone at that rate I get a good 3-3 1/2 hr and Im talking actually sitting with the phone on and doing constant stuff for that long .
Thanks for asking - I find that my display battery usage is just as high!
I'll have to try the auto off. Auto dim doesn't seem to work that good. I guess ill experiment after work with a different kernel and see if its any better this morning. Thanks for confirming

Definitely getting great battery on the Pegasus ROM. I've found turning off you data when not using it effectively doubles my battery life. But then again I'm in an LTE area so that burns it up like you wouldn't believe when it's on and being used.

So I was on HTC's website today just looking, then I saw they had another phone coming out. Desire C. Looked at the specs here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_c-4759.php HTC didnt have it on their website yet. When we get our update rolled out it is only coming with Sense 3.6 because they said our specs were too low. But when you look at the Desire C specs they are worse than the Incredible s and its getting sense 4.0.
Desire C specs
600mhz processor
512mb RAM
Incredible S
1GHZ processor
768mb RAM
Why is HTC holding out on us!!!!!
Im running NIKHIL007's Project X and its awesome!! cant understand why HTC wouldnt be able to have sense 4.0 included.
Are their developers not as good as the guys here on XDA?

True enough. But I dont go and buy a phone based on if it has the latest software. I would buy a new phone based if it has better specs. They should be keeping their current users happy no?
This phone's old now. They want people to ditch it and go pick up the latest HTC phones. Hence why they brought the one series out.

As said, the manufacturers aren't going to update forever as people wouldn't buy new phones!

For me its the whole user interface. I have been one to love sense since it came out. Loved it when I had a windows phone and still love it with android. Ive tried other UIs but still like sense way more. i like the look of sense 4.0 just some minor differences and big differences between 3 and 4.
But yes I cant wait till NIK releases Project X Transformer. Since he started making ROMs Ive been with his work since, only reason I am staying with my Incredible S

Which one will last longer?
ICS or JB ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
U got roughly 8hrs of usage from stock ICS so how much shorter or longer for JB anyone tried?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
whats 8 hrs of usage ? moderate?
i get almost 3-4 hrs of screen on time with wifi of JB
In my experience the battery on a good ICS ROM will last longer than on a good JB ROM. By "good" I mean with the same battery optimizations, or being both stock without customizations. However, it's not a big difference; for me, screen on time is almost the same, but the overall time is somewhat better on ICS.
8 hour of moderate web surfing, wifi on, the screen wake up time like 2 to 4hrs. Or I should consider a back up battery?

Personal opinion.
Jb leak sva 5.1 much much more last longer than any ics custom rom i had been try.
For ics, combination of speedmod+any custom rom will give you the best battery life.
For jb, since there is only philz kernel. Therefore, sweetrom v1 and sva5.1 will be the best choice in terms of battery performance.
Try yourself. ...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
both will have the same battery life if optimized to correct level. personally i dont see any difference in battery on ICS and JB
For me stock ics is still rocking. With stock no worries or compatibility issues. Battery life is great talking about 4.0.4 LR8. The german stock ics has few reported issues with battery life.

Hey Jonas. This is a very very vague question. We poor people have got like two kernels in all. And battery life depends on a lot of things not kernel. It also depends on how you use the phone
So don't worry too much about it. It will be fine in any kernel you use
if you need to save battery, you can always turn down the frequency a bit using setcpu or nofrills
Well, I use my data network very often, but before I rooted my Phone, my battery last for more than 12 hours, now it's hardly to let it last for more than 5 ... I don't know what I did wrong...
Or Google 'how to save battery on my android'.. Or something like that :silly:

Hi guys,
I have a Desire C that I use as my backup phone. It was working pretty well, but one day it suddenly started to discharge really fast. I thought it was due to some process on background but it wasn't. I flashed it, used couple of different ROMs, brought it back to stock still nothing. I thought maybe battery gone bad, bought a new battery still the same. Did anyone have similar problem? Do you think it might be due to some hardware problem? Thank you in advance.
