[Q] Insanely fast battery drain

Hello,
My mom uses a samsung galaxy ace and the battery life is super bad.
When she takes her phone to work around 07:00 its empty at around 13:00. All she does on work with her phone is using whatsapp. When shes at home she plays fruit ninja, lets say her battery is about 70% at that time. She plays for about 20 minutes and when she stops playing its on 17%. When I charge the phone after the game it goes from 17 to 54% in like 5 minutes, how the hell is this possible? Searched google and XDA but couldnt find anyone having the same problem...
We already replaced the battery for a new one, didnt solve anything and i also flashed a new stock rom for her, didnt help either
Hope someone can help me!
Thx !

you run lots of apps which runs in background ? or you have many widgets? It might one of the reasons

Its normal with our ace that is goes straight up to 50-60% in 5 mins and after disconnecting comes straight down...
And for battery drain..whatsapp and fruit ninja uses too much of battery in stock roms...flash a battery friendly rom and ur complaint will b gone..

Flash Stocklite or Xperiatized ROM. Both are great + battery life is better

I'll go for StockLite v6 definitely .. You'll get awesome battery plus you'll also get a pretty good performance ..

Alright! Will try to flash a custom rom when i get home
Thanks for the replys!

Yeah, the battery meter on the Ace is faulty. And this battery isn't meant to be used constantly otherwise you'll get a huge drain. You can't treat a mid range like a high end phone. Its only 1350mAh, to get the usage you need, you'll probably need around 2100mAh like the S3. There's no such battery for the Ace so you can't.
If she turns off 3G and uses Edge, it'll double the battery. Its the same thing, just connection is slower. Now if she takes gaming out of the equation, she'll get around 7+ hrs of battery. Realize I calculated that without any widgets that require background processes, no live wallpapers, and no other things besides the main app you're using.

Also try to flash a new rom with good battery(can only be done if phone I'd rooted though!) And try Battery calibration (after flashing a new rom)

i have the same issue
i guess u need to replace ur battery
because i tried to stop all the apps and the services and Wifi and GPS and BT , almost everything
and its still draining .

You need to replace your battery with a new battery. Your current battery is nearly-dying. Your phone and ROM are both ok! Don't worry about it.
Just replace the old battery with a good quality new one and you will be good for another few months.

Best ROM to make battery last longer

Which ROM (including the official ones) is the best regarding the duration of the battery?
And another thing on this matter, I have read about battery calibration many times in this forum, but I noticed that was a not an unique answer. Does it really work or it doesn't affect at all the performance of the battery?
thank you

I tried them, and it seems to me that power draining was the same as with stock rom 2.2
I tried a nightly cyanogen mod ( cm-7-20120701-NIGHTLY-p970 ) , and battery last a much more time, but this rom is not stable enough.
Everybody is awaiting here for ICS rom from LG and hoping that battery draining would be reduced.

Interesting, on a stock 2.2 my Black needed daily charging and just for the night alone drained about 20% of a battery. Since I'm on Zeus, my phone can last 3-4 days (same usage as on stock) and uses about 3-4% of battery in the night :good:.

I installed last version of zeus ( v6.37) yesterday and leaved my LG OB unplugged the whole night : this morning, batterie was about 50%
Did you changed some tweak with zeus tweak tool ? ( I have changed nothing ).

I also wonder how do people get so good battery with Zeus v6.37 and such a low battery drain during the night, have you touched at something in ZeusTweaker since you installed it?
And another question: I didn't touch anything but I see that many people talk about DVFS, what is it actually and what is more recommend: to enable or disable it?

There is something called UV A.K.A UNDER VOLTING. Refer to the noob how to thread about the definition

Well i have Zeus v6.27 and even didn´t feel the urge to update it as battery lasts for like 3 days, never had a SoD, hes fast, so only have to say good things about it.

Stock V20s with diana kernel.... its best.

Im using the Cici ROM Mokee Port based on CM7 and my battery will last one day only, I like it because of the beautiful interface but the battery sucks. I also tried Optimus Max Rom V2, battery lasts a bit longer but still not good. I havent tried Zeus yet but maybe il try using it and see how the battery goes.

ive always gotten the best battery life from zeus.... and also lemmings is coming in 2nd for me

Marvel rom is the best rom for high battery because the battery usage is almost none when the phone is ideal
My phone battery gets reduced only by 2-3% overnight.

I've tried alot of ROM's, and I think MIUI is the best for low battery consumption.

Supressed ROM V7, is the best for battery life.

so the conclusion is which rom are the best ?

From all the posts the conslusion is only one: all of them lol.

The best rom for battery life is the one that's switched off..... I can get two weeks off a single charge.....
just sayin...

fact 2.2 is very good if you mean battery drain, but 2.3 is better as system and in my opinion better choice is Optimus Max , cause he based on stock rom. I use it daily long time. I used many roms and I still prefere Optimus max . My battery keep live about two days in normal using ( many time in net ) - but sometimes it is one day . But on this rom I have not any suprises.

If you are running a rooted OB, download "No-fills CPU Control" from the Play Store.
Set the governor to "interactive" or "performance", and the scheduler to "row" or "cfq".
Press "Apply", then exit.

He didn't say much (probably not enought to help him a lot) but at least he said that he uses a ZGK so in this case your reply is not completly right. Some (I think most) us OndemandX by default and that is already a good one, better than interactive. I think best might be LionHeard, but that might be different with each kernel and for sure how he uses it.
BTW 5/6h might be OK, at least for the first CM10.1 versions, I think even with the latest versions 9h is very good, especially if you do some gaming. So maybe don't look first at the governor, select the right ROM first. Maybe a newer version, a different one or maybe just CM10, I heard some of the newest ones are rather battery friendly.

check in Battery Usage if the phone have a wakelock, use BetterBatteryStat to find what is a wakelock.

I gonna try a official ICS rom , maybe this be helpful?

Of course. All CM10, CM10.1 roms are battery drainers!

hi,
i support the post above me, try IZS or Marvel roms, they have great battery life. i used them both and with friendly usage i get my phone running all day from 7 am when i disconnect it untill midnight and even more.
by friendly usage i mean : about 15 short calls, around 1 - 2 hrs of wifi, few small DL, texting a bit, around 1/2 of gaming.
this is what i get with the roms i mention above.
BTW dont forget if your OB is old enough, there might be a problem with the battery, since all batteries have limited charging cycles, depend on the batttery maker and so on... bla bla bla...(dang it reminds me to search for a battery in nearby shops here lol)

My OB have 5 months Hmm i use my OB only 4 texting about 150/170 ina day and music about 2-2.5h ina day. Now i use cm 10.1 and this is terrible.. with this batterylife. I thinking about ICS , i think it can be better than CM for now.

150 messages a day? and 2 hrs of music? dang bro you type a lot, so suerly when screen is on, you drain battery, and music also drain power,.
yesterday i travel for 6-7hrs which in that time i went out home with fully charged batt, used a bit of wifi and music for around 2 hrs and 2-3 short calls, the rest of the time the phone was idle. my batt went from 100% down to 58-60% in all of the travel hrs.
so my conclusion is that: be smart as you smart phone, and do compromises with usage in order to get great battery life. oh and its not so bad to have a charger or that handy battery pack that you can use to charge your phone from.
since im not a heavy phone user most of the day when im out at work, i manage to get up to 24 hrs of battery per day. but when i mess with my phone on travels or so, i get around 9 hrs of usage until i get to 45-50% with the Marvel and IZS roms.

Ok. Thanks dude. Im a student i typing so much But thanks a lot i try a IZS

[Q] ROM with best battery life

Hey!
I flashed Lacoste 4.2.2 ROM for my brother, but he is not happy with the battery life (1.5 days).
I am sorry if this question is being asked again, but I am not familiar with Incredible S.
I am looking for a ROM that is Android 4.0 or above. It can be a Sense ROM, but it doesn't have to be.
Thanks for your help

1.5 days is already pretty good... what does he do on the phone...
For battery life, I'd recommend Blackout. Its old but everything works and ive never got more battery life. (My average use is a few games here and there, WiFi on for an hour or so, messages, phone calls and it lasts me like 2 or so days.)
You have to keep in mind that ure bound to loose battery life even from doing nothing (1% per hour or so?? Depends on ROM.) So 2 days is already like 48% or so. Of course these are just rough estimates but there are a lot of other things to factor in too like overclocking, governors, usage etc.

Or try CM7

[Q] Which rom gets you the best battery life?

Okay, let's face it, this phone doesn't have a great battery life. The most i ever managed to get out of this 1500mAh battery was 22 hours, more or less.
That was on the glorious cm11 haha
Anyways i'm rolling over all the roms since December and now i can't find one that gets me over 14 hours, that actually is really bad. My use is mainly whatsapp so i don't think i'm giving an hard time to my battery. I tried looots of apps and roms. I feel stupid haha.
So my question is, what rom and which settings gave you the best battery life and how much did it last?

SlimKAT with nano gapps.

Tenshi_xp's pacs latest version has pretty good battery life.
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.

How long you take screen time ? i take about 3.5 hour

Well for me, i tried almost all the popular custom roms for s3 mini and i found that dmodv6 gave me best battery. I could get around 3-4 hours screen on time. I tried cm 11 and cm 12 but battery life was horrible, i could only get 2 hours screen on time. I would recommend dmodv6 if you just want battery life. Im still trying to find a kitkat rom with good battery life but i just can't.
