i have read a lot in the forums of users claiming that their phone is lasting 1 day and used to last even 2 days, but... mine got close to 16 or 14 hours max when i first got it with android 4.2 on it, now its not getting even to the 8 hour mark, what could this be? any tips on how to make battery life better?
thanx

first battery life depends on usage, signal , screen brightness, etc
i have one day or two of battery with aprox. 3.5 to 4 h screen time on.
if you use Bluetooth, gps, take a lot of pictures, use the screen reading and writing you will have a few hours of juice.
too if you have a lot of social applications that connect a lot to internet or make a lot of calls.
to test disable all radios ( WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, DATA, NFC) too disable synchronization and try for couple hours.
view the results... I usually disable all on night and have 5 percent of drain in 6 or 7 hours.
you can do a master reset and test for couples days, with no app installation or less possible, and see.
Sorry for my English..

For installing custom ROM - you need root and [Nut] Dual Recovery.
For installing custom kernel - you need to unlock bootloader.

On my Xperia U I avoided updating my phone because everyone here said it would wipe everything off it. Is that the same with this update or is it just like updating an app?
Also what's new in it and are there any bugs?
nothing will happen, just some bug fixes and customizable status bar

Thanks for tip, but I will stick with stock ROM. 90% of guys who used CM run into issues with IMEI/SN and I don't need that. Btw, I find out that M$ Exchange was the culprit along with Launcher from Nexus 5.
Getting rid of them my phone is perfect now. battery is down to 58% after 20 hours of usage, so happy now...
hi xda users and devs
i have problem with battery on cm11 officail nightly
the phone charges normally from 0 to 100 on 2,5 hours with the on box charger
the battery is normal until it reaches 15% then it start to drop ( from 100 to 15 about 6 hours but from 15 to 0 maybe less 15 minutes )
this problem is not on stock 4.4.4 only on cm11 official
i have tried pimped kernel works fine with battery but no video is working facebook nor youtube
great devs i got random reboot and locks
only with cm11 the problem exsists
is there any other kernel i can use or a fix for that battery problem ??
or that noraml the battery drain ??

for this drop, try to calibrate your battery and try a clean install maybe as well.
But battery life in cyanogenmod is really bad. even with no drops, you get about 3 hours screen one time while on stock rom 5 hours...

i already done every single word you tell ( calibration and clean install ) but the same .
cm11 with my usage the battery life touches 7 hours (not usual but normal is 5 or 6 hours)
no drain on pimped kernel but video is not working :/
also on greatdev no drain but random reboots

hm... i used this kernel all the time on cm11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/orig-development/cm-x-honami-v1-t2951201 it has dt2w implemented, thats a cool feature also, had no battery drain but battery life for me was not as good as stock sony, no matter which kernel....
for me the best battery life had the FXP builds cause of their kernel... maybe try that or just flash the kernel from the fxp builds
or maybe try cm12 nightlies, they are almost usable:9 with calling camera and so on, just have a look at my thread for cm12: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rom-official-cyanogenmod-12-nightlies-t3007118
i will try the kernel you suggest now ( [CM] X-Honami v1 ) on the latest cm11 build 20150111
i hope it will work fine with no random reboots or video playback problems
also tested fxp kernel from last build but the same drain too ( i think it is the same as cm kernel )
i tested cm12 already nightly official but slow charging problem (5 hours from 0 to 100 without touching the phone ) and no xposed also system ui restart after boot
also i want to ask you about your settings on fauxsound app to fix the low mic problem
thanks again for your fast reply

I got a C6903.
My installation method almost as described in the wiki
Get CM11 M12 from their website
Unlock bootloader
Flash kernel (including recovery)
Full wipe (additionally i freshly formatted /data and /system including my external sdcard)
Installed ROM
I might not be the ideal reference though, since I run without gapps. No idea how much battery they eat.
Maybe try betterbatterystats (also for free here)
I do have a problem where it tells me the AndroidOS is using a lot of CPU time, but that is just a statistics error, it does not actually drain battery. (weird)
Having almost 4h SOT when using it for 2 days, with listening to music a lot. It was the same for me with the stock rom.

Hello guys! I have a big problem with my n920I. I can't use stock kernel because the battery go down very fast when the phone is in standby. I have flash all stock firmwares and have the same problem with all. If i use nobel kernel i don't have this problem but the phone rebot during calls. I don't know how to do

you can use stock kernel....your standby is high is because of the application causing data to send and recieve even after you turn the screen off....if you have xposed use mobileradiocallfix it will fix the standby problem. Arter97 kernel will not give you reboot.

Well...it is becoz of samsung **** policy...
Once u tripped ur knox or rooted ur phone...then again install official stock rom...ur phone will not get deep sleep( meaning huge battery drain at standby)
In order to get rid of it....u have to install latest super su in stock rom(means again root ur phone on stock rom).....thats the only option for you

am confused :/ which is the best to use ? does CF autoroot solve th deep sleep issue by itself? and does the private mode work with it ?
i ask about which is the best rom from both ? specifically for battery
my using is : facebook and whatsapp .
battery life:cm13>los 14.1
smooth:los 14.1>>>cm13
I used sultan cm13 last week without problems ..shifted to nougat & flashed sultan cm13 again. Everything works gr8 but when I share photos through WhatsApp the device restarts . Can anyone provide the firmware link (not the 1.4 GB)
Specifically for "Battery" ? Use stock ROM.
I installed both tried both, If you are looking for battery , more specifically screen on time, then go for official OS. Official Nougat 4.1.3 gives me 5-8 hours screen on time, depending on use. Sultan ROM lineage 14.1 sometimes heats up, battery backup seems 4-6 hours merely.

Must be something you're doing wrong. I've got as high as 10 hours SOT, and definitely over 6 hours "all the time". I have literally stopped using custom roms in the long run since I experienced OOS. Yes I hop on to different roms to test, but so far nothing beats OOS in terms of battery life, smoothness and definitely no bugs.
About sultan rom, dude, I don't know when the hype will finally be laid to rest. I have no clue if the fanboys ever actually "'compared" it extensively. I've done extensive tests long time back with my OnePlus one, and all I found that it's just a plain old hype, made a big comment in boeffla kernel thread back in the OPO days and even Andi agrees to the hype. Haven't tested lately, so it will be unfair if I judge on how good or bad the ROM is for OP3T, but I sure know what to expect. Get down of the hype train, test for yourself in different usage patterns. SOT isn't everything of course. Your usage determines it.
