Hello folks,
I got a SGS with carbon custom rom. It is running Android 4.2.2 . My battery life is pretty bad, i lose like 30% over night. I already reduced screen brightness but mobile standby still eats a lot of battery.
Would a new kernel solve my issue? Can someone recommend one, please?
Thank you.

It's not kernel. Install gsam Battery Monitor and check which apps are draining your battery. And check your wakelocks .
Try to greenify apps like viber, facebook etc
As you are also using 4.2.2 it has battery drain fast bug.

4.2.2 based ROMs have in general very high battery consumption. On the i9000 4.2.2 gives the very shortest battery life.
CM10.2 works much better, provides around 50% longer battery life and is faster
Thanks for your answers. I checked battery usage and wakelocks but there are no abnormalities. The highest amount of wake lock is caused by exchange but it doesn't seem to be the culprit of my battery problem. The device is awake only 9% of the time.
I found that mobile data causes the drain. When turning it on and tethering the connection I lose half my battery within 20 minutes. The battery usage is about the same when only using mobile data, without the tether.
I have installed semaphore, it gives me excellent standby times when not using mobile data...(2% over night)
2 questions: would flashing a new modem/radio solve my problem?
Is 4.3 suitable for daily usage? My current ROM is very stable and I wouldn't want to upgrade to 4.3 if it doesn't work well.
Also, I need tethering, does that work on cm10.2?
Thank you
UPDATE: I flashed Android 4.3, semaphore kernel and a new modem. I will observe the battery consumption over the next few days.

Right now I'm using cyanogen 6.1 but I'm noticing a lot of battery drain and on my car charger my phone continues to drain even while charging. I don't want to go back to stock because I love features like portable wifi, but I'm a heavy user and I need solid battery life. Any ROM suggestions for me that I can flash through clockwork while I'm at work? Or any ideas on how I can fix the battery on my current CM ROM?
first about the battery life... Got to settings, about phone, battery use. What is eating up your battery? usually display eats up most of my life. Try turning your display down... Maybe you have a rogue app running in the background eating up your juice?
As for ROMS, the stock ROM does have wifi hotspot and USB tethering. Perhaps try the stock ROM for a while and see if that makes any difference? It could be a battery problem/ issue. There is a great app for CM that allows you to see your battery life/wear @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765609
The ROM I have been using is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184. It is very close to stock, but has many performance tweaks and such. I use it with this kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820172. By far the best battery life on any ROM/kernel combination I have tried. Both can be flashed by Clockwork.
Also, when Gingerbread finally gets here, there is a much updated and detailed battery meter installed with graphs. Hopefully it will only be a few more weeks.
Hi, I recently installed MIUI 3 and seem to be getting some problems with battery life.
What I've done so far:-
-Installed MIUI 3 with the SpeedMod kernal (as directed in the manual). Battery life dropped to 12hrs
-Reset battery stats, no change
-Installed MIUI 3.3. Battery went back up to ~30hrs
I thought 3.3 fixed it but after a day the battery life dropped by half. After another day it dropped by half again. Now it's only lasting 6hrs, and when on charge it doesn't reach 100% charged but stays at 98% even overnight.
What is going on with this thing?
Half of MIUI threads is about battery drain. There is no solution until now.

They're all like 1 year old. The battery was supposedly fixed in the latest release, and I know someone with the same phone, using MIUI, and they don't have this problem.
I think it might be something to do with the speedmod kernel. I don't know anything about the compatibility of kernels and MIUI so i just followed the instructions in the manual and used speedmod
I don't really know what's going on... in my phone the battery lasts for around 60 hours, maybe more, whatever rom/kernel I've used...
I've been using all of galnet's muiu and still have to find a battery issue. In my particular case, I don't use GPS, so it's off all the time. I don't think that's the issue though...
It's a known issue of CM7/MIUI.
no solution at the moment
Sorry but what is CM7?
And if there's no solution, how can someone with the same model phone not have the same issue?...
MIUI has battery problem and its not solved. If you disable data, gps, sync...
it saves some.
I will look into that and try to help!

The 5th thread you have posted this reply to in the last 2 hours?! Why?!

So everyone using MIUI puts up with a battery only lasting 6 hours and my friend is lying to me? >_>
btw disabling data doesn't make that much difference.

I think that this is as much a cm7 thing, as anything else, and most people just tweak and seek til they find a combination of things that work, so worth looking in rhe relevant threads and reading back

Well for anyone interested I found the problem. I tried flashing with the latest SpeedMod kernel, phone wouldn't boot, and I had to reflash the entire bootloader with MIUI's modified Froyo
Now the problem I noticed when I went to install MIUI.. the zip on my phone was 2.2 instead of 3.2.
NFI how I ended up with that outdated version! So the latest 3.3 seems to have fixed it now. Phone has been on for almost 20 hours and only dropped 30% in battery. That's more like it.
Although this did happen the first time, it seemed OK and then kept dropping by half capacity each day.. But if I really was somehow using 2.2 then hopefully that's all it was
I found out yesterday that my phone doesnt really go idle because of some google process waking my phone notoriously, and probably thats why it uses more battery. I also have very week signal (only 3g) which makes my phone use more battery than normal, but on non cm7 roms i made it one day with no problem. Right now I'm on galnet's miui and this is really fantastic rom, but battery wont last one day in my case. So the idle problem is the case i think... yesterday I closed gapps process before i went to sleep, and my phone was sleeping nicely too This process is caused by android market, and miui doesnt close it up. I also freezed gmaps - someone in galnets thread said it also drains battery. Well I'll see in few days how the battery will behave.

Also Battery Calibration.apk (can be found in market) works to calibrate your battery properly.
56hrs without recharging, 22% battery still remaining. So clearly it's not a problem with CM or MIUI any more
I have exactly the same problem.. tried the battery callibration app..also tried the wipe battery stats article.. i ve finished recharging 100% 2hours ago... now my phone is 55%..no gps no games.. 2 phone calls for 2min each.. i love the rom and hate the battery
sgs i9000..miui v4 with its kernel

HOW??????????????????
I have been facing issues with Battery Drain in Samsung Galaxy S Advance i have tried all possible options
- Rooted and moved to E6.2 ROM the issue was persisting
- Installed the India ROM freash with ODIN without any applications just plain stock rom
Tried several battery calibration applications no hope i have 40% battery drain in just 2 hours without 3G or Synch enabled no applications like Facebook and others also installed
any help will be greatly appreciated.
What did you do with your device in those 2hrs?
Try a wake lock detector. See if any apps are causing wake locks.
My Device : Rooted GT-I9070
ROM - 4.1.2 Stock I9070DDULP8
Kernel - CoCore-E-6.2
Recovery - TWRP 2.5

Make sure that brightness is not full, set it down to lowest and test battery again. If you'll use the Power Saving mode, it'll easily give you 2-3 hours extra, try turning it on and see if it makes a difference.
Some users also suggest draining your entire battery and then charging it continuously for 5-6 hours switched off. That shows better backup results as well.

And the maximum brightness that is not why the battery drained so fast. In just 2 hours battery too low. Try a battery recalibration and uninstall the application that processes in the background.
Battery problem I think....

This looks pretty normal to me because you don't post how long your screen was on..how long your calls were..and I can see wifi is on almost all the time. There's bluetooth on too. And the total percentage of thw battery used in the ss inly accounted for 84%..where's the other 16?

Yea, on the screenshot there is no point where battery was 100%.
Discharge battery untill phone shuts down, then charge it to 100% when it is off.
Flash stock gingerbread....

I have a problem with my phone. The battery precents gets low very fast. Its not problem with the battery because I checked it. Maybe I should change rom?
With a rooted phone you could try xposed framework and deep sleep battery saver. I have very good results.
Also check with wakelock detector that no process is hindering deep sleep.
S3 screen is consuming very much battery though.
s3
I have friends with s3 and they have a lot battery precents at the end of day. My battery precents gets dwon very fast!

Have you had the phone for long? What rom are you running? Has it only recently started chewing the battery?
If you have installed any new apps since the battery was fine, maybe might to be to blame. Also some i9305's have issues with the antenna and will use up a lot of battery if you are in an area where the signal isn't perfect.
Also check what it says is using your battery in battery stats in settings.

And did you check the battery stats in settings? This will give you an idea on what is using the battery the most. eg. screen, cell standby etc.
How long does a full charge last for you?
android
The android system consumes 18%the internet 23%. Maybe I should change rom? Can someone suggest abour good rom?

OK, if internet and android system use up the most of your battery, then it sounds like you have a fairly high usage or some app(s) are running in the background, in which case changing roms probably won't make that much difference. Check out @MaHo_66 's guide for rooting/recoveries etc here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
This will start you on flashing etc. And check out the forums for info on the different roms. Other users will hopefully suggest ones to try
PS - read rooting guide carefully and follow the steps!!
If your ROM allows you to, try to deny "Keep awake" permission for some apps especially Google Play services. Otherwise you can use Greenify.
Hello guys,last days i got problems with my htc one,battery drains very fast and often it switch off when its 50% battery..and when i charge my phone it takes like forever to go to 100%..i thought its battery issue so i ordered a new battery,installed it and still got the same problem..is there any way to fix it? Or had the same problem?thank you
I have changed Rom and got the same issues, the solution with battery monitor haven't tried yet but when I made factory reset it isn't supposed to be clean from all the apps that drains battery?
try to install battery pro app to find the process which draining battery a lot. also useful feature- cleaning battery stats through recovery
i changed charger and now it charges fast..but still dies very fast
