Hello,
Since I bought my cell (about 1 year ago) I've been experiencing low battery life. I've used different roms, tried about almost everything to decrease battery consumption (2g, no wi-fi, etc) but it still lasts about max 8h (moderate usage). While using continously it lasts max 2-3h. So is this normal, what could I possibly do about it or should I just buy a new battery?
Currently running Nova Hd RC 21-39 with Supernova pre RC-3 kernel.

No that's no where near normal. Could you get a screen shot the battery usage ?

Not sure if you ment those stats, just tell me if it are not the right stats.
Translation:
Signal mobile network
Wi-fi
Turned on
Screen on
Charging

Other stats are:
Screen - 92% (on automatic though) Wi-fi - 7%
Mobile stand-by - 3%
Yes, it makes 102% kinda weird ^^

don't sorry about screen percentage, its heaps inaccurate.
Could you install system panel from the market and tell me what the cpu's are doing on idle?

Nothing really special, it varies tho sometimes it goes to max instantly and drops back within 2s

same issue here..
running nova hd RC22-41..
I'm pretty sure the battery if screwed. You can pick one up off eBay for a steal.

Your cpu is at 50% all the time, how is that nothing special?
Install os monitor and check whats using the cpu.

Looked at OS monitor and only thing that consumed cpu is android system (5%) and system (2%)

I'm running CM7.2 RC1
Worked fine for a while and now th phone looses 10% per hour (idle). Checked OS monitor and System panel but there is nothing eating CPU or something that shouldn't run.
Only thing that changed between the two phone states (fine / annoying as hell) is some experimenting with GetRIL. So I re-installed the RIL (v20l) that worked fine before but it didn't help.
Also I have two batteries. The original LG and the Andida, both give crappy results. Think I'm going to try to go back to the stock ROM, see if it helps.
i just did that. having two batteries will probably confuse the calibration unless u calibrated them the same way. either way, from what im guessing, not fully discharging the batt will mess the readings as 1 constant battery ?
According to my earlier measurements the Andida is also about 1500 mAh in real life. So it shouldn't differ much. From what I read clearing the battery stats doesn't do much, said some Google developer. I'm back to v20r now and it looks much better.
40% in 7 hours, before it was 10% per hour idle.
Today it was even better, ~30% in 8 hours. This looks more like I was used to.

Hey! Currently I am on the Django Manouche 1.5 beta 4 with Gueste 1.8.1 kernel. Wifi on, 3G on, gmail and facebook sync. My battery is fine when phone is in standby, about 0,5% drain per hour this night. But when I use my phone, doesn't matter what I am doing on it, the drain is pretty high. Maybe 3% battery lost in 10 minutes. This must be wrong? Any suggestion what could cause it?

3g uses a lot of battery when sending and receiving data
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA
I woul say its very good, you have 5,5 hours on screen time with 3g on.

Ok, then I guess my battery is good, maybe it's just me wanting more than I can get
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA
my phone drains battery quite differently depending on baseband while running the same rom. also there are kernels and roms that makes the difference.
I also think about 6 hour screen time is pretty good. It's better than I have with wiui.

On which brightness is your screen?
Your battery life seems very good. I get ~2h display on time with a full charge, but my screen is set to highest brightness.
My brightness is about 30%, thought I sometimes turn it up in the sun and forget to turn down again. 3% battery lost per 10 min was just an estimate though. Haven't measured accurately.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA
You could activate the automatic brightness when you got some problems with this.. I use about 2% in 10 Minutes when my phone is in use but i'm always on 2G and no WiFi etc..
Hi,
i have Galaxy S+ (i9001) with CM10 from ivendor and 10.6 kernel by CastagnaIT. When i'm using my phone only for calling,texting and wifi everything works fine, CPUspy shows that deep sleep is working correctly. But in games even like angry birds or vector my battery from 90% drains to 0 (phone shutdown) in about 8-10 minutes of playing! I tried another kernels like Nexus kernel, phenom etc, but that doesn't solved the problem. What can i do? It's really annoying :< thanks
AW: [Q] High battery drain in games
Are you using OC or voltage tweaks?
Maybe you need a other battery to test.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
No, im not using any tweaks. It's really strange that in simple games battery drains so fast, but when im using my phone for texting and calls everything is fine.

You tried another rom yet? Maybe it is a Rom issue.

Odp: [Q] High battery drain in games
Yeah, i tried CM, Slimbean, Jellytime but same problem here. Even when i'm using navigation my battery drains so fast. After 10 minutes everything seems to be good, but phone turn off without any warning and when i turn it on, battery is empty.

Vector is an absolute battery hog. Some people mentioned that it's running all the graphics work through the CPU instead of the GPU, which might be why.

I tried other games like skater boy or angry birds and after 5 minutes of playing phone turns off and when i turn it on battery is completely empty i think i should take it to samsung

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%

damn your phone is super :/ my s3 mini doesnt even stay 2 days without using :/ it looses about 20% while iam sleeping (6-7 hours) with 2G enabled only

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 ;

I need a kernel for stock JB with best batt life..
Read my details bellw...
I just changed to this phone...JB V20a out of the box...I found out that this phone runs out of juice like, super damn fast...
Im using Data Connection 24/7, screen brightness at 20%, Auto-Sync Off, Location Off..
GPS off, Auto-backup Off...
I finished from 100% batt to 10% just about 5-6 hrs top...
Ive managed to solve the battery drain during sleep issue, i solved the deep sleep issue, i even using EcoMode....
I dont think thats reasonable and i know this phone have bad kernels...
Can anyone suggest me the most best kernel for stock rom with at most, can give me the best battery life?
Thanks!

There are not many kernels for stock JB but i think that EPRJ Kernel is the best one in term of performance and battery life

No, EPRJ Kernel has issues with the cm10.1 version, the stock version is running perfectly.
No i'm not using it anymore but i used to and i can tell you that the battery life was really good

I would also suggest iodak..I am using it for two weeks now and I see some improvement..You can undervolt and underclock for better battery life too...
You should try reinstalling your ROM, try with v20c, my dad's phone has one day and a half of battery with two hours of screen on, sync on with a gmail and a exange account from his work, whatsapp and that, in my case I can reach 10 hours on zaiben with eternity project and with gmail sync, whatsapp and 20 mins of playing modern combat 4 and real racing 3 each
