Batterylife CM11 bad - Android OS 40%+ - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have flashed from SOKP to CM11 and am finding that Android OS takes up more then 40% of my battery usage... Batterylife is not nearly as good as the stock ROM on the Z1 where Android OS doesn't take up that much.. + I can't get LTE on this ROM in places where I had it on stock, anything I can do about the batterylife and LTE ?? Am really annoyed about the performance
I have some picture proof for you..
Edit: two more similar screens.. One from the SOKP ROM and the other the same CM11 like the previous screen... Its better then SOKP, but still I'm a bit disappointed
Last edit - this is with mobile data off at all times and WiFi on only for the last two or so hours in both cases... :/ CM11 is significantly better, but still nowhere near stock
Do you have any stock CM like ROMs that have at least on-pair battery life performance like stock ?

If you're running utorrent all the time then what do you expect?
Screen on time matters a lot
Issues with custom roms should be reported in their respective threads. There are at least a few CM11 roms for the Z1 and each one will be different.
Try better battery stats app to see what's really chewing your battery.

That's just a coincidence in the screenshots and Utorrent would show up with more % if I left in on all the tims.

JB rom without battery drain anyone?

I really love JB, but battery drain on every one i tested is unacceptable (i.e. 30% loss or more overnight). On gb with THE SAME modem - 2%.
In result i always go back to GB immidiately, even if I hate it.
The only good rom besides GB i've had was some old Slim ICS version... Was lasting long as GB.
So, does anyone can point me to the JB rom with no crazy battery drain?
I've even bought new original samsung battery (1650mah), but still with my usage phone lasts half day.

adjust cpu governors .... u have to try every ROM available.... at least one of the ROM will give better battery life.....
@up
it's not that. idle killing battery isn't governor related
well, MesoROM is great gb rom, but ffs, android 2.3 is so ugly and feels like an awkward beta version... damn

I am on Slimbean JB Beta 1, and when it is in standby ( without wifi or 3G ) the battery drain is very low, less than 1% in 6 hours.
But as for Slimbean or any other JB roms I tried, the battery drain very fast when I use the 3G.

i'll try mentioned above. slim bean based on 3.1 was one of the worse in terms of battery though

I'm on CM 10.1 and battery drain is acceptable (about 1.5 days) with quite heavy usage. But it's only possible with:
* network switched to 2G only most of a day
* Google backup and restore disabled (using TB only)
* location services switched off or at least with GPS disabled
* WiFi turned off when not at home (using lama to do automate it).
Try these if you do not need them on all the time and see if your battery lasts longer.

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.

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 PurePerformanceâ„¢ Edition" anymore?
There is no best ROM/Kernel, try them all and see which "best" suits you.

[Q] Optimus 2x battery kernel

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

lots of stock roms are available deodexed. Read this thread by member @R_a_z_v_a_n which explains it very well, then use search to find the deodexed ones. Search remember is your friend
I haven't seen any notable difference in battery life on any 4.3 or 4.4 rom. Surfing the web over wifi and brightness set manually to medium i lost about 12-13% charge in 30 minutes.
Higher battery drain can be a placebo effect too. You installed a new rom and expect at least as good battery life as on stock, let's say. Then on your new rom you keep eye on the battery, waking your phone more often and checking the battery status and stats, thus draining the battery little more overall. I won't tell that's the case right now, it's just one possible reason people see their batteries dying sooner. Now i'm currently on fresh CM 10.1 (build 1117) and will find out if there is any difference in battery life compared to CM 11.

Right! I solved my battery problem hiding the battery icon on the statusbar lol
on cm11 05\03 with pegasusq + sioplus, one day with medium usage (3g activated when needed and some vg)
Well CM 10.1 doesn't give me more battery life than kitkat. With my usage pattern and settings it's draining about 26% per hour.
Hey, I flash harshjelly and after one Day of utilisation, my Juice is 26 % now... My client service don't want to help me...

Rom with decent battery life?

Hey guys,
since I only use my Mini as a music player I am looking for a Rom with decent battery life. I ofc have tried the various CM based roms from Novafusion but even if I never turn the screen on they drain 3% battery life per hour, even though I only have 5% wakelocks (since I also use amplify).
Is there any Rom within the region of 1%-2%? I mean, it should be possible considering that I basically only have installed Poweramp and nothing else but CM just doesn't deliver that.
Everything from KK and up is fine, don't really want to got back to JB.
Thanks guys!
