Terrible battery live on cyanogen

Since I rooted I've been getting horrid battery life. I used my phone for 10 minutes today texting and the battery life's consumed 7%. This is not good.

Check in your sync to make sure your calendar or contacts ect. aren't stuck trying to sync. This happened to me, and phone was dying in a matter of a few hours.

Mine is like that too I was thinking about switching to Another since I hear that Rom gets better battery life.

There are several existing battery threads. You should ask questions in there.

Hardly used my phone for 40 minutes today and down to half battery life. Can't somebody throw me a bone here?

You could try flashing one of the undervolted kernels from IntersectR or Diet. I noticed it helped a fair bit on the Cyanogen rom. Another option could be to switch to the Enom 1.8.1 rom. I'm currently running the Enom rom with IntersectR hybrid kernel and get fairly good battery life.

I had this too, flash any other kernel and it seems to fix itself. Intersects is a good call.

Same here, man

I flashed this kernel:
OC/UV kernel + HTC_Camera Addon for 1.8.1
and this rom:
TheOfficial_Nexus1_v1.8.1_update.zip
from this thread:

Is that the kernel that's being praised for having good battery life?

I'm running this combo, and I get 10x better battery life than on Cyanogen's!

Good to hear. Ill report back with my findings after a few days useage!

I was having battery troubles, but I just charged my phone fully then wiped the battery stats in recovery and have had great improvement.

Is there such thing as a desire ROM that has good battery life for the N1?

sorry, Cyano506 has great battery live... you must be doing something wrong..

yeah I must of installed a cyanogen from a different person...
....hey--wait a minute...

Battery CM 506
..this is not too bad for 506...

Thats what I am using now with the addition of juice defender free which gave me a small but noticeable boost in battery life. These things together gave me the juice to make it through the day without scrimping on my usage, before I had to either scrimp or charge during the day to make it.

well damn. I am currently looking for a new kernel. What are u running? I have a kernel from late January. From what I hear there are several good ones out there with better battery life. I am running 5.0.6 also

I don't understand. Look:
I've hardly even used it :S

since I posted that picture I haven't touched my phone, and here's the difference:

frustration with my crappy

I have it rooted with gingerbread 2.3.5 and i am not pleased.
my phone was slow. like making me mad slow. Its like my phone only wants to be fast a couple. I had launcher pro , go sms and go key board. But then i uninstalled all except launcher pro and removed all my widgets. and its a little faster but its still really sluggish. also my battery seems like it goes down pretty fast.
Should i download a new rom ? Im thinking of getting a new phone also. i was thinking about an iphone but not sure .

Wich 2.3.5 and kernel?

I have Jvs

Well I can't offer any help on a I9000 rom. Haven't been on one of them for a while. I would recommend you trying a native rom. But Have you tried reflashing that same rom you are on?

is it stock or the custom rom? I am running S_Bamboo rom based on JVT and talon kernel...its really really smooth, fast and decent battery....

Im on apex , and i have tried reflashing . Im going to try a different kernel

My captivate was running extremely slowly (almost unusable) when I was running Mosaic VII. It was so bad that I almost dished out ~$600 for a new phone (contract wasn't up yet). As a last effort, I decided to try out CyanogenMod 7. To my amazement, my captivate is suddenly extraordinarily fast and ridiculously usable! The data connection is actually fast (used to take about 7 minutes to update Pulse (news reader), and now it completes in under 4 seconds), GPS is still meh but better than previously, and the phone interface is very snappy.
If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly recommend CyanogenMod to see if that solves your issues. It saved me a buttload of money since now I don't need a new phone until my contract is up!

how is your battery life though? I personally have had the best luck with pinnacle.
CM and miui had awful battery, and i would often have to turn off and on the data (at least once a day).
this also was when i was using nightlies (maybe a month before the stable release came out) is there any difference in the rom now? Should i give it a shot again?

Battery life has gotten way better since then. Also it's faster and the new features are great

CM7 has been great for speed and battery life for me. Absolutely astonishing. I don't even care about the SGSII anymore.
PS If you try it, I suggest doing a complete restore, i.e. not using Titanium Backup as it seemed to slow things down for me.

Going to give it a shot when I get home.
I'm optimistic, but I really can't see how it can even come close to a kh3 ROM.
If I just leave my phone in standby, after 10 hours, it might only go down to 85-90 percent. Last time I tried cm, it would go down 5% an hour.
The last nightly I remember flashing was around build 100 or so. Have they fixed the proprietary driver issue that causes the bad battery life?
Should I go with glitch kernal? Or stick with stock? And what glitch should I go with if I do use glitch?
Fingers crossed that it works better this time!

My battery life is actually extremely better than it was with Mosaic (and previous ROMs). After a day (from 8 AM to 11 PM) of pretty heavy use (reading emails, Pulse news, non-stop texting, and web surfing), my battery is probably between 10-20% left. Obviously thats not a lot (definitely requires a charge every night), but compared to my 8 AM - 5 PM (completely dead) battery life previously, it is a substantial increase. I have found that it drops from 100% to 60% pretty damn quickly, but then hovers in the 50-60% range for a long time (playing a 3D game for 30 minutes made it drop from 90% to 75%, but on a different day, the same 3D game for 30 minutes went from 66% to 65%).
I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't do a backup and restore of your apps though....I'd reinstall each one again manually (you can restore the data to some apps if you want). Also, clear all caches and battery stats. Don't freak out if your battery dies to ~60% after an hour...it will stay around that percent for almost the entire day.
PS: On standby, this thing is a beast. From 8 PM to 11 AM (on standby completely while i was sleeping), it only lost 1% battery life. I don't use anything like Juice Defender or anything. Data was still enabled.

I've been using Serenity rc4.1, and about to flash rc5. Been fast, stable, and good battery life for me. Light use yielded me 1 day and about 17 hours on a charge. Haven't had any problems with wifi, gps, or really anything else. Good luck.

Well I'm on it right now and I like it better compared to apex. I can tell try hat my battery life is better. Does anyone know the best modem/ kernel that I can get for my phone

I use the stock kernel without any issues, but I've never tried any others. Modems are very geography dependent so it will take some trial and error. I am currently using UGKG3 with great success if you're looking for a starting point, and I've also had great luck with JJJV5, but YMMV.

Well, I'm writing from SGS2 right now, but I do have SGS too (my working phone no.), and I was not satisfied with with any stock (or/and) deoxed ROM I've tried (JVH,JVK,JVP,JVB, JVO,JVQ.....), because even fresh flashed or (and) tuned ROM felt sluggish to me. I've tried even few CM7nightlies, but I've been pushed away by some of it's aspects (it was fast, rock stable, but something around nightly #80, it wasn't mature yet for daily use). After a while on JVQ, I've finally decided to give that crappy chineese piece of **** a go...
Well, now I'm satisfied. MIUI ROM is based on CM7, so it's stable and fast, it can be configured to the bone, and with some gentle touch from MIUI team to the graphic design, it is best compromise between graphically advanced, but slow and unstable Samsung ROM and it's derivates, and superior rock stable and reliable CM7 which lacks any unified user friendly interface for all apps, and some details may not even work at all.
Give it a try

I've been running cyanogen 7 for a bit now and although the battery life isn't stellar it's definitely tolerable.
I would suggest using a design gears Tom or serendipity though. They are the closest to a stock cappuccino experience you're going to find.

So my phone was all the way down to 15% and I had practice, so it was idle for 2 hours and when i looked at it it said it had 25% left. and then it was idle for another 20 min and it said it was 27%.
im just sayin

Best Battery ICS Rom?

Hello i have just recently rooted my phone on stock 2.3.3 and looking for the best battery life ICS ROM.
It will we good if it was stable and hardly no bugs would be good.
Thanks!

I have CM9 with the latest Devil kernel. The battery seems to be very good! You should give it a try!

How much does it last with a "normal" use? I have the same kernel + teamics 4.2 but i'm not completely satisfied...
Also i'm interested in some others opinions since i have the same OP's question in mind

The best ICS roms regarding battery are 4.0.4 roms. Semaphore kernel works very good too.

I use SmartassV2. I use my phone very much and it still lasts for at least 24 hours.

until now, slimics+kernel stock seems the best choice for me.
For example, this morning:
- 40minutes listening to music
- wi-fi always on
- brightness almost at maximum
- 20 minutes with adobe reader
and only 25% burnt down.
I've used semaphore for a long time, very good kernel though, but the battery life ain't enough for me.

Here is a screenshot from my battery stats. I used my phone almost the full 7 hours, jet only 30% down. I think that is pretty good!

Slim by far. The ROM has literally no bugs, way more features than default ICS but doesn't have any bloatware. Battery life is awesome with default kernel & as for performance, its smooth as silk. Can't say about the others but literally for months I haven't even come close to considering others, there's no point. I haven't even upgraded from my SGS as a result, still satisfied with my phone.

Really? A day and a half? Even on my stock gingerbread battery only lasts around 20hours on normal use.

Ok i know gamers rom v10 is not ICS but im really amazed that it has better battery life than lots of ICS roms. Now im at 50% battery and been running for almost 19 hours.
Its about with normal use i do. And i got 3g or wifi on all the time because im so lazy to restart it when needed
I might try slim because i heard so much good things about in and see the battery life if its better or not.

Slims rom and what kernel are you using?

[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?

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.

Question about battery life on custom roms.

Hey s3 mini users, i just want to ask a quick question about battery life. So recently i have tried many custom roms (CM11, CM12, vanirAOSP,Dmodv6 and alot more) but i have a problem with my battery life. Roms that are AOSP based like CM11 has horrible battery life (2h screen on time with 10% left). However if i used samsung stock rom based custom rom, the battery is a lot better, i get 3h+ screen on time with 20% left over. So my question is, is this normal for my phone to have bad battery life on AOSP roms?

sorry i missclicked. i get about 2,5-3,5h screen on time. depends on task what i do. if i read much in dark i sometimes get like 4h.
im just using a clean setup, maclaws CM12, with not much apps (i dont need much) & all is grennified which has the blue cloud. only whatsapp runs in background, no mods/tweaks.

Have you tried cm 11 before? If you have, is the battery life on cm 12 significantly better?

what, thats amazing battery life. I tried both cm 11 and cm 12 but my battery life just sucks. Theres no wakelocks draining battery but the only thing i noticed is that when i download stuff (play store or on internet) my cpu just clocks to max ghz (1ghz) and stays there until download is over. Is this normal or what? cause this is the only thing i can think of that could drain my battery. So confusion
