Hey everyone.
I was on paranoid android 3+ but found the battery wasn't great (as mentioned in forum) so last night I flashed carbons stable release. Charged it full over night. 2 hours of usage this morning and battery is down to 34%.
Am I doing something wrong? Could my battery just be done? It looks fine (no bulging or anything) or is this sort of battery drain expected on this ROM? If it is I'm gonna have to find a more battery friendly alternative.
Thanks for taking the time. Hope someone can help me out.

First of all you need to let it run through few charging cycles to settle down moreover there is no harm in trying a new battery if it is old.

Hello,
I was wondering if i did something wrong when flashing, I flashed me phone yesterday, love the rom, but the battery life stinks, today I have been off the charger for 3 hrs, 1 20 min phone call and check download my email and my battery is at 73%. This morning before I unplugged my charger I went into oxdin and removed battery stats to see if that helped, any advise would be helpful, I did flash to stock with oden3 one click and I had 85% battery and plugged in charging when I flashed to this rom. I want to keep this rom as it is super fast and no issues found other than the battery
Thanks in advance for any help

I would give it another day or so. It can take it a little while for the battery to settle in. if that doesn't work you could try flashing another kernel or modem.
Just a few opinions...

yes like the previous post
you have wait for few days cz it takes tym recalibrate battery stats. couple of charges and discharges will fix the battery drain
Thank you,
I'll give it a few days and see if it fixes itself, this is the best rom I have tried and would hate to have to change as everything with it is how I would do it if I had a clue how to custom a rom
Thanks
Tony
Like the others have said give it a few days, my battery life VASTLY improved after 3 discharge cycles. Also, another thing to check is the cell standby and make sure that you're not having the 50% time without signal bug. I had that this morning and it drained 20% in barely over an hour.
Hi,
Just a quick one and any responses from personal experiance would be great.
Has anyone used an app to re-calibrate the battery? If so did it help or did it seem to make the battery life worse?
I had a major drain on my battery so did a complete reinstall of tweaky ROM and the drain has stopped. Just wondering if I should bother to recalibrate
Thanks

Calibration did not help me, I have the same stamina... JVH + Criskelo v56 + CF-Root 3.2
from those many many times i have tried to do calibration in all possible ways that has being suggested even waiting a few days for the cycle to end...
my conclusion its bull**** it depends on the rom or apps that are running ....
the only thing it does it shows u 100% when u finish charging in case u dont see it already.
Does it work or does waiting two weeks for battery to settle down work .

My findings are similar to JJE. After flashing a ROM, it will take 4-5 charge cycles (just charging every night, nothing special....may run down to 0% after first charge) before I see a stable, decent battery life.

Ditto, I try not to judge a ROMs battery appetite until about a week, espescially if I was to lazy to flash at 100%.. But I think that is what is meant by battery calibration..
Ok thanks guys, think I'll wipe battery stats next time I flash a new ROM 100% battery

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.
So I bought this phone 2 days ago and it's running Android 4.0.3 (LG Software v10e).. It's new, untouched, came out of box... Its battery drains unbelievably fast, with screen on, it drains 1% every 2-3 minutes and on standby it drains like 3-5% an hour. I did a lot of searching here on this forum before making this thread after I couldn't find a suitable solution nor any info about Android 4.1 upgrade. I installed "Battery saver" like 20 minutes ago and it seems to be doing better on standby now, no drainage so far in 20 minutes... I wanna know if it's worth upgrading to 4.1? I've seen a lot of negative feedback about it on other forums... How do I improve battery life on my phone without rooting it?
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks
Yeah another battery thread

I got the same quesition!
If u are not going to root it to remove some bloatware from Jb 4.1.2 just dont upgrade. Its not worth it.

On every custom rom i've got baseband_xmm_power wakelock loosing 50% battery so something is very wrong. It isn't just bloatware problem. I've got this on clean CM.
Get v20B mostly no wakelocks for me.

Hi.
Does anybody know how long the battery lasts with omnirom 4.4.2?
I tried CM10.1 once and battery was down after 1 day so I went back to latest stock rom. With that battery last 2-3 days for me. Can anyone tell how omnirom performs regarding that? I'd like to use it a lot since it makes my Asus tf300t run like hell ...
