You can instal the Devil kernel and activate "Deep idle"

Also try JuiceDefender

Sorry Bit i use both deep idle and also juice defender, i really dont know what to do!

I'm going to say it's the kernel as I'm running the standard one that comes with Cyanogenmod 9 and I don't have this issue. Actually, my battery is above average.

There's a big issue with i9000's running hot and having high drain at the moment. I'm not sure what has caused it on mine. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to CM9 but I have flashed back to 3 different varieties of stock ROM/kernel and same story. Gets really really warm when under load and battery drains at the rate of around 20% an hour when the screen is off, phone is in airplane mode and NOTHING is running (i.e. in deep sleep).
At a real loss as to what to do about it, I've seen a thread about 500 posts long on the official Android forums with i9000 and i9100 users all expressing their frustration over this.

In your battery stats what is showing high drain? Also instal better battery stats and run it for a while to drill down what is causing problem

Hey, appreciate you are well intentioned but have been through all possible diagnostic steps and all documentation/suggestions I can find online. I am an experienced IT pro and have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested ANYWHERE by ANYONE and there is no fix.
Screen is showing the most, followed by MediaServer then Apollo player. Problem is the battery drains when all those things are killed (i.e nothing is running phone is in deep sleep). This happens overnight when nothing is runnning at all. The battery stats do not change. The processor does not show anything as being used.
Many people have already been through the diagnostic steps and there is simply no answer.
Refer this thread:

There is a reported bug on the official android site as well but I'm on my work PC and don't have my history from home to drag it up again.
Basically symptoms are
- Battery drains exceedingly quickly ~15% when idling and 25% per hour when in use.
- All diagnostic tools show nothing running or using your battery or CPU
- Phone is warmer than usual in any state (i.e. idling/charging/under load)
- Most folk I've seen with the issue have flashed to CM9 at some point but that is not a consistent truth.

Another screenshot that shows that the mobile standby consumes almost the same of screen

In your first post, i saw your "señal de red móvil", is very poor. Have one or two little line green ( best signal ).
As is the signal coverage where you are? The signal is good or poor?
and when you get with wi-fi on, the battery drains very fast.
Sorry for my poor english.

its poor man, thats why i want a battery saver modem, and the wifi battery drain its horrible, please help me!

I use CM9 nigthly with you, but no have this issues. Experiment another modem ex. JVU.

Did you have this problem from the beggining? I am using Dark Knight 3 ics, and for many months everything was okay. One day, i had battery drain. Even after a reboot, the drain was there. I reinstalled and it works fine again

guys, now i have a almost one full day with normal use, i dont know if i can get better results or whatever, but im happy with this result, i've done it downgrading to GB and i'm happy with it, but i would prefer to stay in ICS, but well im not bad with GB.

Ics with good battery life

Hy guys...
Who can say me a good ICs rom with good battery life?
Thx

With stock kernel, jellybean has amazing battery life. As for ICS, they are all about the same. I would recommend cm though.

Everybody will tell you to use whatever rom they like.
You should just try them on your own and decide yourself which one works best/has better battery life for your personal use.

Well, personally I like Slim ICS as it is, with the kernel that comes with it.
I also used Semaphore for a while with Slim ICS, it has more customization, but didn't really notice a any significant battery life change.

edit: wow.. triple posting, sorry for that, xda went down for a while.

I too am running on Slim ICS + Semaphore 1.3.0s kernel, i am getting a pretty good battery life with combination of Smartass v2 governor + Deep Idle enabled + Juicedefender + low screen brightness settings. I cant give you any numbers right now but lets say that if i unplug my phone at 12am and have a moderate usage ( phone calls, texts, browsing, fb, whatsapp, maybe a little bit music) i will have +- 50% battery left at 12pm

Gingerbread Roms Battery

Hi,
My parents are currently using the Galaxy S, and I just want to flash a rom that will have strong battery life. Do gingerbread roms have the best battery life?
Thanks

With GB "Saurom JW8 v3 Odex " I had the best battery life ever in standby. After 5 days standby, I had 79% remaining battery life with a new 1800 mAh battery, and the kernel settings (in semaphore manager): governor: SaveBattery, semaphore autobrightness: normal.
GPS and Data were disabled (only GSM). I never had such a low standby power consumption with any CM or JB ROM.
But when you use your Galaxy S and the display is on, maybe you will be able to use your SGS 1-3 days until the battery is empty.
At the moment I use the latest GB ROM "Saurom JW9 v2 Odex" with the same settings but at the moment I`m using my SGS so that I cannot
say, if the battery life in standby is as good as with Saurom JW8 v3 Odex".

Best ROM for battery life w/o sacrificing stability and performance

Stock ROM and arrrrghh's kernel. I drain the battery a lot, but it lasts me 10h oc'd to 1.8

I've haven't tried any other custom roms beside CM 10.1.3 stable: no bloatware, better than stock battery life, and tons of customization. I wouldn't want to try anything else.
Update#1: I've been experiencing frequent reboots through out the day. Seems to happen randomly or before and after being plug in to charge.
Update#2: Too many crashes/reboots on the CM10.1.3 stable. I couldn't take it anymore so I flash CM10.2..latest nightly. Amazing! No reboots, far stable than 10.1. Gonna stick with 10.2 for a week or two then try custom roms as ProBam and Carbon.
Update#3: So 10.2 does crash and restarts. It will happen while it is plugged in "Charging". GAPPS would crash i noticed. wth

HoloBlur, Carbon, or CyanogenMod hands down.

4.2 ROMs (especially AOKP): +++battery, -stability.
4.3 ROMs (LiquidSmooth 2.10, Carbon): -battery, +stability.
There is no golden middle choice. However, 4.3 roms provide much more features and the battery life is compared to stock (but still worse), so, not a bad choice to try.

Tried all everything you guys have said and I've come to the conclusion that either my battery is defective or this phone just sucks when it comes to battery life regardless or ROM or kernel. Thanks anyways

What kind of Battery life are you getting? I get anywhere from 6-8 hours with heavy use to 16 hours with light use... Stock battery btw

One time I was playing gangstar Vegas on medium settings with lowest brightness for like 30min and the battery went all the way down to 25%. I started out with 100%. Also even on standby the battery goes down like 15% with WiFi and everything off and airplane mode on. I just don't get it. It pisses me off. The battery lasts me like let's say 8hrs with VERY VERY low usage. Like I'm talking like only maybe 25-50min screen time at like 25 percent brightness.

Sounds like you need the MAXX battery mod. My battery will last in excess of 30 hours on one charge. The battery isn't that cheap, but imo, it was totally worth it.

Best Rom
in my opinion, holoblur 0.9 tuned edition or x 0.9 Pure performance edition, are the most stable and less battery consumption, the other roms left out of the ADH standard features like HDMI mirror. The other functions that handle the other ROMS are esthetic and user support that we like to be playing with our phones giving better appearance.

Hey guys. So went back to stock 4.1.1 and its been great. I'm using the stock kernel. I'll get the maxx battery soon or on black Friday but overall in terms of battery life, stock has it.

So you're not running rocking the "HoloBlur-X ROM PurePerformance™ Edition" anymore?

There is no best ROM/Kernel, try them all and see which "best" suits you.

lots of stock roms are available deodexed. Read this thread by member @R_a_z_v_a_n which explains it very well, then use search to find the deodexed ones. Search remember is your friend

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...
