Android Revolution HD 3 - battery life comparison - HTC Incredible S

Could someone tell me how battery life on Android Revolution HD 3 fares compared to that on CyanogenMod 7.1, the ROM I am using.
I want to try an ICS Sense ROM and ARHD 3 seems to be the popular choice. I am anxious only about the battery life. During 7-8 hours of sleep time at night, my phone usually drops 2% (background data off) to 8% (background data on). I am happy with that. If ARHD 3 takes way much more, I might stick to CyanogenMod.
Looking forward to your comments and such.

You might want to wait until source drops and custom kernels are released
A lot of what you mentioned is reliant on the kernel as well as the ROM I find ice cold has good battery
CM 7 was good for me, I used kaijura's ICS kernel which has UV support

CM7 battery life wonderful..
Android Revolution HD a low battery is going to I need days to recharge.

Thank you guys!
Could someone tell me how much battery ARHD3 takes per hour approximately in sleep mode with only internet data on?

10?

All roms are different its user choice .

I'm currently using it right now. Its pretty good. But now it has been updated to version 3.2. Might go flash it tomorrow.
im running the 3.2 version
installed it 2 days ago
seems fine to me..
I was using darky's for a long time but since hes taken a break i've been exploring other rom's. I've been on simple honey 3.1 for about two weeks and really like. I have been getting outstanding battery life. On average two days of pretty heavy use, with wifi on and email sync. Been quite happy with it. It had a few bugs such as black on black text but 3.2 has fix that.
I can tell after some weeks of simply honey 3.1 it has strong points against other roms and some little bugs (ex. text on black) that seems to be fixed in 3.2.
Currently i'm 3.2 but battery life in 3.1 was better than every original, that's for sure.
Bye
Thanks I notice that battary life in 3.2 maybe little bit lower than the regular anroid Rom but this is a very good Rom I haven't noticed any bugs yet
rom has very little effect on battery relative to the kernel: Simply Honey 3.2 has excellent battery life because it utilizes the GTO kernel
it's still an excellent Rom but what differentiates various Roms from one another regarding battery use is the kernel they use
Maybe darix can do a battery re-calibration and see how's the new battery life. Should be better than normal rom.

[Q] CM 7.1 Stable vs Stock JVx Battery life

After using Samsung stock ROMs for over a year I finally switched to CM7.1(Stable) last week. But the battery life I'm getting now is not as good what I used to get with Samsung stock ROMs. With JVT I easily got 24hrs, but now I cant go beyond 15hrs with same usage patterns (3G during day and WiFi at night, few short calls and around 50 SMSs, with a bit of web browsing and some online audio streaming). Did anyone else notice a similar battery life drop going from a recent stock ROM to CM7.1 ?
I ran the CM7 nightlies until recently and came back to JVT because of battery life and the hello hello bug. I use my phone as a music player for most of the day and find that stock ROMs hardly deplete the battery at all, with CM7 I was getting the same sort of life as you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
For me, CM 7.1 Stable drains battery a lot. I've changed to JVP modem and it seems to be a bit longer, maybe I'll try with Fugu kernel.
Looks like I'll be going back to JVT. Idling battery drain is way too much. For example I charged it around 8 last night and by 12 noon today, battery is down to 45% mostly just idling and few texts. This is as bad as original eclair release came with the phone.
I personaly dont find there to be a huge difference but i am on Bell which is HSPA only (3G all the time)
i find i always have to recharge by 4 pm (8 am wake up) but i am a heavy user. I am waiting for my extended battery so i can make it through a day.

What was the last stock ROM you used ? I used to get similar battery life with earlier ROMs, sometimes I had to charge it twice in a day depending on usage. But with recent ROMs (2.3.3 and up), I ever hardly charged it twice, despite very heavy use (more than an hour of calling , GSM/VOIP, about an hour of internet audio streaming etc..). IMO stock ROMs are really good at idle power consumption, I have managed to get 2 days with light use, a full day with moderate use and more than 10hrs with heavy use.
EDIT : CM7 is smoother and quicker; I also like the customizability. I’ll again give it a try when ICS comes out , but till then I'm back to Samsung Stock, because poor battery life simply kills the experience for me. Perhaps I can squeeze couple of hours more with some tweaks, but I doubt it'll be as good as JVT.
I myself have come back to 2.3.5 xxjvt cos coming from cm7.1 and darky 10.2 final..i should say stock rom can have a standby time of more than 24hours believe that..otherwise ics might have a lot more to over than gingerbread
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I hope when ics is released by cyogenmod battery life gets better this is why ive not updated to 7.1
Hello U all.
Can somebody give me a link to the CM7.1 stable for i9000?
Thank you.

[Q] Best rom for battery life

Hello guys
I was testing the MIUI but the autonomy is very very bad , but the rom is very amazing !
For you which is the best rom for best autonomy on the optimus 2x ?
Cyanogenmod or stock custom ... ?
What do you mean by autonomy?

Sorry I mean "battery life".
Latest kang with CM7, 2 days light use.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
I've had best experience so far with the Flair GB v4 Revolution rom, gives me 2 days with some use, including listening to podcasts and chatting on yahoo. That is, with juicedefender installed. Juicedefender is really a basic necessity for good battery life.
Guys,
Check the Blazing Dragon 2.1a and the tweaks with 999,Juwe script and HP 9 with PP9lite...gives me 3days and 10hrs....with light use, a little wifi , some pics and music.....amazing perf but yeah...Juice Defender is a great app....life becomes such a fantastic thing with these kind of good apps...
Stock V20M gives me very good battery life.
the new wajkiui rom is awesome, in my case i safe more battery than @cm7 or miui!
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
On stock rom or even Topogigi I had issues with standby battery life, phone would lose 5-10% per hour.
Now on CM7 I can idle for 10 hours overnight and lose 10% in total. Usage time is horrible and will always be horrible for these phones, best you can do is fix idle usage.
I get around 4 hours of screen on time with CM7. I carry 2 spare batteries with me though, good eBay investment for $2.80 each. Buy a charger too so you can charge them out of phone ($3.50)
Using the latest CM7-Kang (temasek) and Vadonka's Kernel : poor battery life for the last versions, Baseband is 218 and no task killer, no background apps like FB & so on...
Biggest drain is due to download and 3G
I tried CM7 stock (with 2/3 different kernels)
I tried with the Mugen 1700 battery, and the stock one
Tried with ext4 without journal, and some other tips...
Results are very similar... And the O2X (even with second core management tuned) and undervolted...
Now : defined some tasks with Tasker (switch to 2G, toggle mobile data)... some gain, but not very significant
Sad, and looking for a VERY good ROM that gives real batt'life, but I'm afraid it's hardware related on the o2x...
Heard that DjangoManouche & its kernels gives better batt'life (significant) and I'll probably give a try
(schedulers? I/O tweaks? mount options? voltages?)...
Try hybrid revolution. Its verry good for battery autonomy
for me civato is the best...
I am using Temaseks final KANG with Vadonkas latest LOC Kernel. No Tasker, no task killer, no Juice Defender. UV a little bit and set profiles with setCPU. Battery lasts 2 Days in light to medium use.
Hey guys! I'm sorry (lol) but i can assure without dubts that the best one for battery life is Djdroid v1.4 that you can find in android developmente section ^_*
I‘m using Alien Revolution 2.0 (based on CM7 KANG) I get 1 day of medium use (1h calls, 3G on half of the time, 15-30 min of games) I want to try WIUI now.

Favourite ROMs Based On Performance, Battery Life and Appearance

hey all, im currently running virtuous quattro RC3 which is a really nice rom. Looks nice, good Battery life...
question is, is there better? i tried ARHD but the battery life was horrible, any ROMs that really stand out?

Battery life is so 'subjective' to how you use the phone, apps and data that you are going to get answers across the board.
I for one have found that ARHD and the stock 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs give 'me' excellent battery usage. I can get 2 days out of a single charge, which completely contradicts your experience, doesn't it?
Also CM7 has excellent battery life for my usage pattern, but I prefer the Sense camera app.
Cm7 I have to charge my phone once a day. I generally put it on charge at night before I go bed. But heavy usage will mean I have to charge as soon as I get in from work etc. ..... tbh for ner this is good my iphone needed to be charged in a morning then topped up at night. I havnt done too much with other roms to come up with justified comparisons.

If you want a sense 3.5 ROM I'd suggest you Virtuous Affinity, it's very stable and works great
It all comes down to preference and usage. Theres no perfect rom for everyone you just have to try and experiment
Personally im using MIUI, smooth, easily customized and battery isn't too bad about a day with: data on all day, heavy on texts, medium on calls and games occasionally.
Based on performance i say the trinity sensation and the ice cold sandwich would be nice but im not too sure about the battery life

thats weird as... coz i left it in my pocket and it was using up about 1% everytime i looked at it which was about every 5 minutes
and thanks all for the replies, might have to try icecoldsandwhich, seems to be a hit
before i put icecold on, IceColdSandwhich vs Virtuous Quattro?
ARHD 2.2.0 have best battery life for me, more then enough for full day of heavy usage. Usually lasts for 2 days. I cant get even close results with other roms.
Ice cold sandwich is my favorite. After using 4.0, I can't go back to 2.3. ICS is just so much nicer looking and better performing IMO.

4 days? nice. ye, i ended up flashing Ice Cold 5.6
Best battery for me was ARHD with Sense elements removed, easily.
Best performing was CM7.1.
Best looking Ice Cold Sandwich 5.6 which I'm currently running now.
Favourite overall is Ice Cold; pretty damn good performance and decent (but not amazing) battery on Tiamat kernel.
i'm waiting CM9 lol
Ice cold sandwich does pretty good overall. Actually it has some minor things to fix but you need to see before you buy so you're gonna love it.

[Q] Good rom for battery?

I've been using Sabsa Prime and the battery seems to drain quickly and I'm wondering what rom would be good for battery?
I'm using Nik Project X 4.1 and I get average battery: I can get 3 days of battery with normal usage (Wifi + Music player). I used to get 5 days of battery easy with Nik Trinity Sensation XL but I'm looking for a ICS rom with good battery life.

it really depends on where you are, what socket do you have, etc. But what i know excactly - non sense roms are much better about battery than sense one's. i've used miui, now using jelly bean - it's really better

Lying to this people is not nice, there's no way you can make it lasts for 3 days even if you don't use it at all, no matter which rom you are using. Not to mention 5 days.
I'm not sure who're you trying to lie to, us or yourself?
Or maybe you have 2 batteries connected together...

Okay, maybe not really 3 days or 5 days full but almost near that. For ICS I could get 2 days + 12 more hours then it goes to zero. For Trinity XL GB rom, I could get 5 days (well 4 days + 8 hours) because of the deep sleep mode.

Read your posts, 3-5 days with normal usage (wifi+music player) and that's not deep sleep, but even if you leave it in deep sleep no way to pump it up to 5 days or 4d+8h.
Or maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen a smartphone with battery life like yours. Maybe you should go to HTC and offer your services, cause you'll make them a top smartphone seller as the first smartphones manufacturer that makes them with 5-days battery.
god I'm lucky to get 15 hours with normal usage on ICS\JB.
The best ROM I've found for battery life was CM7. When I go on holiday I always roll back to it
I managed to get a whole week on Android Revolution. I cleaned up almost all default applications, set low screen brightness, used Nova as a launcher, turned off the glamorous animation effects and blocked all data transfer (except for an hour per day, when I turned WiFi on, checked my mailbox and read news feeds). This profile is not really convenient for everyday usage, but it is suitable when you travel.
After try so many roms, I think there are 2 roms -- stock and arhd4.
I am using arhd because battery usage is almost the same as stock rom but it is a bit faster (not oc). My normally usage, this 2.5 years old machine can take up to 36-40 hours.
From my captured battery usage picture.
Screen on: 2 hrs
Auto brightness
Wifi always on
3g: 4 hrs
Voice call: 30 mins

I get a decent days worth from Sabsa, I don't expect it to go on much longer than a day and I charge it every night, but I can leave data on to auto sync, and make/take a couple of calls etc and I get by OK.
I've been running it for a long time now, it's settled down and is functional.
