Spit balling here:
Does the M5 phone have the newest Google Maps app, if so you need to replace as this is constantly running in background.
I just flashed MV as well from PHX JS8 and also noticed my battery draining faster than normal.
I uninstalled google maps yesterday and can already notice a difference in battery life.
I also felt Darkeys kernel was too bright and felt like this may be contributing to battery drain as well (this is just an assumption I have no proof). I flashed Existz stock kernal and the screen isn't as bright.
So far I can notice better battery life but have only done one charge cycle since the changes above.
I just checked and there is 2 maps ..one has red text meaning system app and the other didnt,how do I know which one its draining my batt,i used bloat freezer and froze both

I've seen a couple of random posts here and there about batteries and phones having to "get used to" user habits to start getting the most out of the battery. So does it take a few charging cycles for a rom to sort itself out power wise?
Secondly
After trying a few different ICS roms i've always found the gingerbread battery life to be better. Is this a fundamental flaw with ICS using more resources or just that we don't have official ICS kernels built for the XL yet? (ICS ota not available to most of the world yet?)
Battery drain is from Kernel(but not real bad?)
It takes a couple of restarts with 1h use inbetween to get it settled in, should be comfy after a days use imo

Hi
Anyone using JuiceDefender with your galaxy note? is it worth it to buy this application?
Thanks
Sam
Save your money and skip it like anti virus apps. Many people recommended it so i bought it but i didn't like it at all. Experienced sluggish performance, connections not stable and sometimes connection doesn't even come back on unless i manually turn it back on. Also push mail doesn't work since juicedefender turns off data when not in use and checks every 15, 30 etc intervals (however u set it to check), i don't like that at all. I rather have 100% reliable fast performance connectivity than app that saves few % of battery. Just my 2cents

hmm i heard alot of people telling it saves alot of battery power.. jus wanted to know about the pro version..
Yeah it does save quite an amount. You can configure it to on off Wi-Fi necessarily or learn specific network when you are on the particular area of interest.

How was it? any real battery improvement? any lagging issues?
Sam
My previous phone was pretty crappy and I had pretty crappy service, so I had to make sure I turned wifi, mobile data, etc. off when not using them. On my Note, I don't even bother turning them off because they drain so little. I don't think bothering with Juicedefender is worth the trouble.

Had an old Xperia Arc and Juice Defender worked quite well to last me the day.
Now with the Note, I tried with and without it and I find no significant difference actually.

I agree...
Being new to the android and rooting scene. I downloaded all the recommended apps and one by one uninstalled them including juicedefender...
Whats the point of it stopping data when screen is off? It defeats the purpose of push notifications.
Also I didn't notice any real extension of battery life either
I think it depends how you set up juice defender ultimate. For example on weekdays and working hours I use the "peek" option, letting jd enable connection every 5 minutes. Of course I have than battery drain. With different settings on different times and/or days (up to flight mode at night) I have significant less battery consumption.
It is also important when you use your phone a lot with the screen on, not to let jd automatically turn data on, because then there is obviously no difference at all, with or with out jd running.
There is no use of such apps, I have tried used many such apps from my S2 days and I never felt any difference in performance or battery life..just let it go. Ur using an Android device, and if u use it as a smartphone should be used, u will need to charge in at least once a day.

AutoStarts is doing everything for me.
I had used JuiceDefender for a short spell when on GB. However, BetterBatteryStats soon showed what a battery hog JD was, so I made it disappear from my phone. Forever.

Exactly. Juice defender is crap. Its just for lazy people who can't maintain their settings on their own. and juice defender is obviously always running in the background, using up cpu power and draining battery on its own

It does save little battery and drains at the same time. Huge down side of using this kind of app is no push and data connection is glitchy, sometimes takes awhile to connect back to network or wifi and slower performance. I can still use gnote all day with single charge so I don't find this kind of app useful to me at all. It's really not hard to turn off and on data or wifi on android unlike ios crap where you have to dig in settings.
Save few % battery vs slow performance, hit or miss connection.. I think answer is simple

I used to use it, ultimate version. But I quit using it and still have great battery because of my own setting changes. Juicedefender might be okay for people that don't use their phone much. But, if you are constantly on it, like I am, it is just a memory and battery hog.
Its not worth it, and possibly wastes battery juice rather than saving it.
I've been using it for several weeks now, when i go to sleep my usual percentage is from 70 to 85 % i always turn wifi off as i don't charge it at night. With the app running in the background, when i wake up it goes down to 45% when i do not use it as in its not running in the background I'm the morning the battery percentage only hours down by 5% max to 80%.
Pcworld made an intensiv3 comparison on the effect this apps do. The verdict: keep your money.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
battery saver is better
Don't bother. I used it on my HTC Flyer and I saw no difference. Migrated it to the SGN and I saw a huge difference after I uninstalled.
The features are limited and just stupid if you ask me. I believe the best battery app would regulste connectivity on demand (ie when I open Dolphin or refresh Facebook it would connect automatically and disconnect immediately afterwards).
If you are looking to extend battery life I suggest self regulating your connectivity (ie use the toggles) and screen brightness.
For even better battery life try and avoid apps that constantly run (eg ones that monitor other apos and processes).
You should get very decent life out of the SGN, and if you don't do what I did and get a spare battery. They are cheaper than you might think and they are an absolute life saver in emergencies or times with heavy usage.
Hope that helped

Hi all,
Any recommend custom rom can make the battery life longer? or I should change to Note 2...
I can't accept charge my phone 3 times per day...
What are you doing with it
I've only managed to use a max of 70% on mine

I dont do 3x a day but battery life is TERRIBLE compared to my SGS3 9300.
I charged it last night while watching a movie, and unplugged before going to bed when it was 100%
9h 45 mins later, the power was down to 2%
By far the main cause was 89% MEDIA:
media storage
Downloads
Drm protected content storage
Download manager
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
UNBELIEVABLY BAD!!!!
I am not sure why this is happening. I have conditioned by my battery by charging fully, letting it run flat 3x, then charging fully again and resetting battery stats in recovery mode.
I did have sync photos to Picasa ON, and the only other syncs were mail, calendar, contacts, facebook, g+ (not photos)
You guys who are only using 70% in a day, what syncing settings / homescreen widgets do you have?
I was on Stock ROM, Now on rXTREME v2.1, but Stock was just as bad.
tx
Mark.
battery life is short, but time to charge battery from 0 to 100 is terrible long (about 5 hours)!
You guys must have the Telstra One app installed, that thing wakes up your device like crazy
Seriously though install BetterBatteryStats and see what's doing the damage, after a day, 8 hours of which I'm in the passenger seat of a car listening to music, Facebook etc I have a good 48% left at 1am

I dont understand how anyone can charge their phone 3 times a day....
I get a good 16-17 hours with 2.5 hours of screen time..

Hey there,
Tx for the info.
Im also on Pandoriam, but 4.5 at the moment.
I think the main cause of my battery use was a corrupt microSD because media was using 89% of the juice. Ive removed it and things seem better. Ive also removed HD Widgets from the home screen, I think they are particularly hungry too. Also removed Samsung Allshare from my PC as that kept on trying to connect to my phone, so that could have been an issue.
Holding thumbs I will be ok all day... now THAT will be a nice xmas present!
Cheers,
Mark

I read that some microSD cards are ridiculously hungry and I can say that Allshare destroyed my battery too so best of luck!

Hey guys,
I have used lots of ROMs to see If they are related with battery life, but I am tired of poor battery.
As you can see below pic, is it normal to see draining from 100% > 9% within 21 hours while screen was ON for only 2.35 hours

Can you show us the 'Alarms' page?
The battery life for this is not very good, I was quite disappointed, I don't recommend this.
Hey guys! About 5 days ago I got my self a new HTC one (Dev, unlocked)~
Info: I'm running the latest Trick-Droid Rom, with Juice Defender(Free: Says i'm getting 112% battery life from it), Greenify, and Nova launcher~ And my case can sometimes run a little hot, something like 1C too at most 3C above no case temps.
Right now i'm getting about 5 hours and 20 minutes of web-browsing time on my battery, and with all these "Optimizing" apps... And the high reviews of the HTC one's Battery, i'm wondering if might have an issue on my hands?
I know I have not given enough info for anyone to give a diagnosis, I just want to know if I need to start digging for leaks!

I'm not using any battery saving apps or anything like that, I'm all stock, I have everything on except finance stocks and stock weather, I do a lot of web browsing, texting, music and that's about it...a few calls here and there. You may just need to give it a few more charge cycles...I don't believe in all those battery "saving" apps or "optimizing" apps.
Get "wake lock detect" and "better battery stats" to determine what's going on.
And my battery life isn't as great as some people's here, but it's pretty awesome to me.

I spent about an hour testing stuff... I found a major drain in the form of SH (Shell) stuck in some run away process, after deleting Storage/Bin/SH 3 or 4 times it seems to have fixed it self~
I think I will best sending in the bug too *TrickDroid* to see if they can get it fixed.... Deleting the SH file has made some small issues pop up from time to time~
Is this okay? Or is the performance low?

That's decent, 4-5 hours of screen time seems to be the average.
