Opinion on battery life. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I would like your opinion on my battery life. I think it's pretty worse. On stock ingerbread I would get 1 day-1 day and a half of battery maybe, bur on every custom rom the battery is pretty ****ty. Below I will post some screenshots so you can see what i mean. I guess the question is, can you give a good rom for battery life? Or what modem should I use?

What rom you using? They are some crappy stats. I'm doing a lot of rom swapping these days. I've had with F4K R4 and CM9 Kernel 5 and a half hours screen on time and great standby. I'm currently using another ICS rom but I find ICS to have some of the best battery. Just have to test some of them and find a decent kernel. Midnight Kernel for ICS has some good battery life.

Any battery friendly GB rom?

Currently i'm using ics infinitum rom. Battery life is really good. It easily went for two days. But there are many bugs in ics roms like camera fc, phone dialer fc etc. Now i wanted to go back to any good customised GB rom which matches the battery life of this ics rom, lasting upto 2 days.

with CM7 I was able to go a day and a half without charging and same with infinitum ICS v2.1 .. so am guessing it would be same for you
I9000XWJW5 2.3.6
And Sephamore Kernel 2.74..
I get almost 2 days with minimal use.. i get 24 hours with browsing, youtube, skype,, etc.

Try DarkyROM v10.4.2 [XWJW1]; it is arguably one of the best custom GB roms.
For cm7. What kernel you recommend

Strange... When I tried CM7 (CM7.1) on my i9000, my battery drained quite fast. Battery life was almost 60-70% down ( as compared to JVU stock rom) with CM7.
However I am quite happy with batter consumption on JW4 but I do miss video gtalk on this

I always updated to latest nightly and the last one I used was nightly 181.. smooth and great battery life.. auto sync and data on all the time along with other normal usage gave me batter life of 1 day +
Battery life is most important for me. i've tried alot of roms for this reason but then always came back to this combination.
1-) install I9000XWJVZ_I9000OXAJVT_OXA via ODİN,
2-) flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058814
3-) then remove these apps

Thanks .. will try sometime.
-battery life depends on usage : 2-4 days (i have 1700mAh momax but now i would prefer EPIC TOUCH 4G 1800mAh)
-you can delete those apps with "root explorer". ("/system/app")

Best rom for Battery?

Hey guys. I only want to ask which rom do you think is the bettest for battery life.
Thanks.

My suggestion would be stock gingerbread with speedmod kernel k2-12, i used to get around 4 days with normal use.
That sounds nice. Do you have heavy use of yout phone? Or only deep sleep all the time?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I use it for playing games, little music, calls and messaging. Sometimes connect to Wi-fi. With the same in ICS i get around 2 days.
okay thank you i´ll try. :fingers-crossed:
to set expectations straight, expect thought about 4.5 hours nonstop usage on gb with speedmod kernel.
4 hours on ics with speedmod
alk stock dont expect more then 3 to 3.5 hours.
you only get 2 days if you dont synch, barely use phone and are in good reception area with data switched off always.
Note general tips which can be found in the 10000plus threads about battery drain and how to analyse deepsleep issues

I don't know whether you like gingerbread roms or not , but till date the rom with which I got maximum battery backup with modeate to heavy usage was CheckRom Revo HD V6. This rom never lags , best battery life , and good speed .
If you are Gingerbread hater and ICS lover , then you can try Rocketrom v7( very good battery life with the included kernel , and would be much better with Speedmod Kernel (latest version) ). And then you have CleaNote V2.30 ( V3.0 has bluetooth glitches but its faster , if you are bluetooth user i would suggest you to stick with V2.30 ) , I personally love CleaNote because it has stock look and very fluidic :good: and as the tagline says 'You dont want any theme forced down to your throat '. KingDroid are good at speed but many have reported few glitches with it , you may try it if you like ( I dont like KingDroid , its sth personal ). If you hate Samsung's bloatware then we have Cassie's XtraLite rom for your rescue :cyclops:. Its a good rom too .
Well finally to end , I use cyanogenmod 9 and i update it everyday and with each update it gets more fluid and responsive, fast , smooth . i just love cyanogenmod9 ( waiting for cm10 ).
ParanoidAndroid are for ppl who love fun , who want to showoff their phone , the ability of their phone , the sweet hybrid interface of their phone , its for geeks :-0 .
Make a choice or try all of them :good::good:

I am using CLASSIC V1+15 toggle with MOD V1 which is ICS 4.0.4, and I also updated kernel to chainfire LRG, which is more stable and smooth, battery life is excellent comparatively to all other ROMs so far.
Which is around 4% drain per hour, I have (facebook, wechat, LINE, mitalk, whatsapp, email, exchange service, maps, mixed chinese input, make your own clock) running and leaving it on idle.

For the past 2 years of beeing a S galaxy user, I've quite looked for best battery life at top performance. Most of the time, battery life is no longer measured in "days" of usage , like we used to do with our Nokia phones. Nowadays, you ten to look at display (screen on) time , CPU profiles, and also connectivity patterns.
You can think of battery life as a factor of the above mentioned, however I think that display time is the most important parameter related to battery life. CPU profiles, connectivity, tend to work only when you have your screen on, and from my experience, you tend not to extend your usage time by more than 10-20%.
So as a conclusion, I did not expect a specific rom / kernel configuration to offer more "screen on" time but to offer a more faster way to do my tasks therefore I did more tasks in almost the same display time.
At the end of the day, it is more important how you USE your device rather than finding a "magical" combination that will increase your battery life.
KID + SpeedMod
+1 for GB (i was using checkrom but i'm sure any gb rom will give similar effects) with Speedmod.
If you make setcpu to 200mhz on screen off, i find it uses almost no power at all when it's on standby.
Like it was on 77% when i went to bed.
Woke up in the morning and it was on 78% (i was like lolwut).
Yay for setcpu.
But seriously though, any GB rom will give you considerably more battery life than any ics rom.

[Q] JB vs ICS vs GB for battery life

Is there really any deference between android versions in battery life?
And in your opinion what is the best ROM for battery life at all (including GB)?
Well everyone uses their own phone accordingly. I currently use AOKP ROM. I do not have a data plan. If i use my phone only for calls or messages, i cant last thru 2-3 days. If i play games or whatever, then a single full charge only gets me through 1 day.
Battery Life is very dependant on how you use your phone so there really is not a best ROM for battery life
I meant that for the same usage which ROM (or android version) gives better battery life?
hmmm... I guess the you get best on CM7, which is Gingerbread.
I used lacoste 4.1.2 jellybean Rom . I have about 1-2 days on WiFi and average use . It can be considered as a battery saving Rom . Have not tested out other jellybean Rom yet besides that

Afaik, most battery friendly ROM is CM7 nightly #146 (GB ROM). Somebody recently posted download link for it. If you can't find it, download one of these, it will do the job. In general, avoid Sense ROMs if you need good battery life.

i think the best battery life is for gingerbread.
Gingerbread? mmm
with my phone, I had a quite good feeling about Jeally bean.. if you use a lot of data/3G traffic, gingerbread is not the best

Best android 4.0 + rom for battery life

Hi Guys,
My sister has a Galaxy S with cm 10.1 nightly 15 -03 running on it (Yes it's old). Her battery life isn't that good, especially when she's doing nothing, the phone drains very fast. It wont last a day.
Do you guys know a rom, prefer JB, that has a better battery life then cm 10.1, or a good kernel to test?
It has to be stable because I don't have time to flash new roms for her every week
Thanks.
Niek
Slim Bean. 4.2.2 has amazing battery life.

[Q] Note GT-N7000 Root Battery Problems

Hi,
Yesterday i rooted my Galaxy Note using the LiveNote ROM.
The ROM itself is very good, very smooth and retaining that Touchwiz look that i love but i have found it have serious effects on my battery life. The battery life is diabolical, only lasting 1 hour and 22 minutes of screen time, half of which i was using wifi. Before the root, my battery was not good anyway, only lasting about 3 hours screentime but this new ROM has pretty much crippled my phone.
What i want to know is this, is there any way of keeping this ROM but vastly improving battery life, say to where i was before at around 3 hours screentime? OR perhaps is there another ROM with decent performance, using the Touchwiz interface and also having good battery life?
The phone is running Jellybean 4.1.2 and i am using Philz.
Regards
James

There is a way:
Start reading the uncountable (and mostly idiotic) threads about bad battery life after flashing a ROM.
Or read threads about battery life when the baterry is older than a year.
If that is too difficult or if you are too lazy then please stay on stock ROM - not only the life of the battery will benefit from it.

I do agree mostly with the previous reply.
Still, Sweet Rom 10.5 has good batery life and performance. Live Note seems to come with c.o.h kernel which has Gpu OC. Unless you have change kernel that may affected batery.
