Hello fellow note owners
My note has been draining a heavy amount of battery lately. 2 days ago I did a battery calibration,drain it to 0 then fully charge it to 100 while phone is off. Today i turned it on and I was surprised the first 5 mins I used the phone, 5% of battery gone!
I am currently using Rocket Rom v22 on Abyss kernel 4.2
Abyssplug governor
I am using SPB Shell launcher
My screen brightness is all the way to dimmest
Wifi,gps,BT are all turned off
Data and background data is on
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Download Better Battery Stats and find out what is causing your *wakelock*
whatever you are using... am using the same except spb laucnher. Mine consumes average of 3% per hour with GPS,3G, background sync on. And not using any battery monitors.. Try reseting..coz some app may cause this drain..
Thanks for the replies

I have this app but I dont really know how to use it... and also I am not concerned about my phone draining battery when im not using it. Its when I am CURRENTLY using it and draining massive amount of battery for simple task (I.e browsing over my phone's apps, Internet, checking email using K9 mail, Facebook) I literally just unplugged the phone from charger and used for 5 mins and battery immediately dropped to 95%...

This is what I wanted to happend 3% PER HOUR!!! Mine is 5 mins = 5% gone!
What do you mean reseting? Reset what?
However any app grinding when you aren't using the phone will also be grinding cpu when you are.. In better battery stats select wakelocks and see what apps are constantly waking up.
You really want to get your phone using minimal cpu when it's off so you can really judge how much the running apps are using.

Check out Badass Battery Monitor. It's easier to understand.
I was having the same battery drain issue. I install better battery stat app and found that google+ was using most of the battery and stay awake the whole time. I uninstall google+ and no more drain.
I am not sure if these are normal..
Can someone guide me on how to do some tweaking/killing bloatwares to improve battery life?

Spb shell 3d.
Also on on badass battery, the phone radio is on the same time as the battery time. Is that normal?

You got your answer right there.
SPB Shell 3D is eating up the juice. Its a beautiful launcher but its serious battery drain if you play with it little bit.
Hello guys..
I am a GNote 2 user, but i'm planning to buy a smartphone for my girlfriend and in this case, i think s3 mini is quite a good phone..
what i am asking here is, how's the battery life on s3 mini? with my note 2, i can get around 24 hours with email, twitter, facebook, and another social network app syncing every time and a lil bit gaming of course.. For the s3 mini, how long does it last in average? Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Mine lasts for 30hrs with wifi and mobile data always on, a bit of gaming, alot of messaging,few calls, browsing and so on... Great battery life all in all...

30hrs with that usage?! That with Stock battery?
Considering the SIIIMini has a 1500mah battery and the Note2 has a 3100mah...
Like all the smart phones i had before. Play around with the phone all day and charge in the evening. I

GSM Arena says the battery strength on this likely related to Jelly Bean optimisations. They say other Jelly Bean phones they've tested perform REALLY well battery-wise. Other phones with bigger batteries on older software die long beforehand. You can see the battery test for this phone here: http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-ga...hes-our-battery-tests-the-results-are-inside/
Hours, minutes:
Calls, 6.22
Web, 7.38
Video, 7.46
I'm surprised that your phones can take it that long with gaming/browsing like that.. mine normally gets through the day, with +-5% to spare..
- charges by night, till 7A.M.
- overday average usage: 25 texts, 15-30min talking, 20min gaming, 20min doing other stuff
- wifi/mobile data/sync/bluetooth are always on
- going to bed at 1A.M., so 18h of working time.
Guess I could optimize by disabling that wifi etc.. Also tried some power savers:
- juice defender didn't do a thing at first sight :/ (free edition)
- easy power blabla was buggy & gave black screens
- go power master really helps, managed to get through 2 days actually.. however, the screen transitions were quite slow. I don't know yet what settings I used, reinstalled it today & at first glance it doesn't help that much anymore.. (transitions are smooth again though)
Any other tips on power saving are also welcome
You should see the battery life on the MyTouch 4G Slide. You're lucky to get four hours on standby with it.
Mine battery is about 6-7hrs
I turned on power saving and brightness was about 50%
I use a lot of fb messenger an chrome ,little bit of music,and xda app ,3g was on all the time ,wifi was turned off ,2 app runing in bckground weather and antivieus aand i think thats all

I used to get almost 2 days out of it until I put the latest version of Faria's rom on it. Now I get a days usage. Grrrr. Somehow I'm losing 24% of battery life while my phone is sitting in standby (unused) with screen off for 9 hours.
Here is my battery usage..

only 30 hrs on flight mode ???
I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and then traveled for work outside network coverage area so i put it in flight mode and the battery lasts for max 30-32 hrs with no more than 30 min of light games like solitaire per day.
Any advice ?

Its normal. Your phone still uses os features.
You can't expect from smartphones these days to last 4 days
So two days ago i bought a s3mini and how it looks, feels and works... i'm loving it..
however, battery time seems to suck... today i'm at 43% after 8 hours.... meaning it won't make it till I go to bed (still another 8 hours).
Wifi has been turned off all day, my screen, It's a black background without any icons... screen brightness on 30%.
Is this device known to have a short battery life? or did i just have bad luck?
Idk. Is autosync off?
I get 20h on heavy usage. (Games, calls, yt videos) Wifi always on, autosync off.
Brightness 20-30%

When i bought this phone, battery life was horrible.Then i rooted my phone and installed SetCPU and discovered that my phone was running in performance mode which meant that processor was using both cores at 1000 mhz non stop - even in standby.Then i installed a custom rom and GoldenKernel and started using pegasus governour with 1000 mhz max cpu clock and 200 mhz min.Since then, my battery can last up tu 24 hours with medium usage (WiFi or 3G always on, Auto Sync, high brightness, 2-3 hours of screen time).I currently have about 20% of battery and i unplugged 14 hours ago, but i streamed a whole HD episode of GoT ( 1 hour of heavy cpu/internet usage, 1.3 GB file).
If your phone is rooted, try Greenify. It will hibernate apps during sleep to save battery usage. Get more info on their xda forum.
You can find Greenify here ;

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.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
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.

Hello.
I'm looking for really good kernel for my phone. I've 2.6.39.4 kowalski-exp and battery life was horrible. I used my phone for 4h and now it's on 19%. Can someone tell me some really good kernel that supports Jelly bean and good battery life? Please help
Can you post your battery usage screen shot or if you have BBS installed please screenshot of BBS? That 4 hours phone usage that you are mentioning, is that 4 hours of voice call or 4 hours browsing? or what? If it is 4 hours with screen on with WIFI or 3G on all the time I think that is reasonable. I am using kowalski kernel and I have reasonable battery life.

I used wifi for about 1h. Maybe less, don't know. I played a game for maybe 2h. On original rom battery was way better, but ICS on Optimus 2x really sucks. So much lag, can't even open facebook in less than 10 sec.

if you play games 2h that is not horrible battery life...i recommend you latest tonyp build cm11 from 20. 01.2014 and latest penguss77 alpha 31...for me that is best combination ever...no such cm10.2, simply the best,forget about ICS and JB, kitkat is miles away better than them,in almost every segment, it has very low memory usage and good optimization...thats my opinion.bye
