Hello everyone. As we all know that our p880 has never been good with battery backup but still iv tried many ROMs yet no good results. But as the phone is getting older it seems the battery is also losing strength. Is it suggested to get a new battery ? Will it make a difference ? Please suggest/advice
Thank you.

What do you mean by getting older, wrinkles? ... just kidding.. do you need to charge more time, or less on screen hours, never charging to 100% ?
My suggestion:
Try different roms *( Mahdi 2.9 preeti solid battery life, aprox 3 hours maybe more) alway do full wipe(factory, cash, dalvik,even format sistem)
Try battery calibration app from market (maybe placebo, but worked couple of times for me.. doesnt hurt to try)
AND CHARGE YOUR PHONE
Ask if you need somethng
Thank you for replying. It hasn't got any wrinkles yet ? but yes I have to charge it twice thrice a day and the SOT is 2 hrs max. I'm on nameless 5.0 right now. Is the Mahdi rom u suggested 4.x.x or 5.x.x ?
that is ok for 5.0, AOKP by Molthenmotherboard is most stable 5.x for me .. good deep sleep, and all.. mahdi 2.9 is 4.4.4, i also have to charge mine 2x day if i use it havily, i've tried different batteries and new ones.. no change.. maybe those bulky with 3xxx mah can make a change.

Hey guys, I have been out of the Rom scene for a few months, in May I was using MIUI which was terrible, after that back to Insanity CM and now I am using the Surface Rom, which I got in like July. Therefore I am not up to date anymore; I really need a good Rom with some awesome battery life. Which would suit me the best?
And I am also using Google Authenticator, when I wipe install a new ROM will I lose all the data of Google authenticator, like with every other app? So I would have to use mybackup pro for example?
Miui battery life is terrible indeed.
I use Simplicity 1.1.1 for the moment and I am more then pleased with the battery life.
I've used a lot of different roms and this one is the best for me.
It's a very slim rom and you can add other stuff with the add-on feature.
I would say: Check it out
http://www.google.be/url?sa=t&sourc...uDgNUB&usg=AFQjCNF4F4UsgTpbVCCTrgR883FwN0bM9Q
Okay thanks for the reply How many hours can you go with it, w/o using wifi and all that other stuff.
With quite heavy use and wifi on all day: like 2 days.
That's tested with the 1.1 version, because the 1.1.1 is out since this noon
OH wow that sounds awesome. Thanks, I will check it out
I have to add that I always use Autorun Manager to avoid apps to start out of their own. And that's a real life saver for me.
App killers keep on killing the same apps that start over and over again. But this app won't let it start up in the first place.
Unless you open the app manually off course
So measuring better life can be a very personal issue.
Depending on the use of your phone and what kind of apps and sync processes are running.
I, for example don't sync Facebook nor twitter, only Gmail.
But try that rom out and see for yourself. If you're not pleased ... there are a lot of roms out there
Okay thanks for letting me know, yeah Simplicty looks cool. I will check that out
the main is a kernel. one of the best are speedmod and talon and galaxian
Well their is no way anyone can oppose me on this. DARKY ROM has the best battery life for sure no 2 nd thoughts in this. Darkyrom.com is the way to go for you. Well for stats I tried v10.2.2 and it literally drained 1% in 11 hours on standby and no wifi on. And 2% with wifi on in 8 hours.
hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!
Tight dude. I am getting this **** now. haha. This sounds godly
My previous rom was Darky 10.2.2 extreme edition and the battery drained on me.
That's why i went to simplicity...
But this can become an endless discussion and I'm not waiting for that
Just try out some roms and decide for yourself
Have fun

Wow that sounds really good..
How is the performance with this rom??
Does battery life comes at the cost of performance..
Btw I m new on galaxy s forum(Before on Optimus one) ..Vl be getting my galaxy s 2mrw.
I would answer you, but I don't know the answer, sorry
But people here seems to be a little bit too lazy to answer... I've noticed that, too
Several my questions just... lost in space :-D
As to the ROM. I've been using HoneyCore 2.0, it's based on Semaphore kernel, ROM is based on JVS 2.3.5. Unfortunately, for some reason its creator, CoreMaster, just stopped supporting it. What happened - have no idea. But battery life is nice. I don't know how it is in comparison with Darky. For instance, watching dvdrip takes about 15% of battery - i don't think it's much. Reading is about 4% per 20-30mins.
p.s. It would be nice if you made some measurement on the ROM you have chosen and publish here the numbers to compare
I have the best battery life till now on F1 innovation HD v7.0
I had my best battery life with stock 2.3.4 + Go Launcher Ex. Also, no auto sync, no location access, dark (leather - almost black) wallpaper. It lasted an average of two days, with the highest score being...wait for it.... 4 days!!! I attached a photo!
Cheers!
Hi guys, I got this phone for free with bell mobility as my 2nd phone for my business line. I'm going to be using this phone only to make phone calls. No internet, ever. No wifi, maybe some bluetooth once in a while. No games, no apps. I have a Galaxy nexus for that.
Which rom would be the best for good battery life?
Thanks guys
Talking about the battery life and from personal experience,I would suggest using MIUI rom. The battery lasts for at least 2-3 days(for me) with normal use(wifi,music etc),so should go a far way if only used for calls.
Alternatively, if you prefer Sense UI,I've heard good things about the battery life of Android Revolution HD.
Finally,it's always best to just test several roms yourself in real life situations for several days,and then picking the rom which suits you best.
after playing with it a bit I'm not a big fan of sense...
I'll give miui a try, thanks

+ 1 use tiamat uv to - 50 all values
+1 for miui. might just be in my head, but seems to be even more battery efficient than cm7.

What version of MIUI do you use? There are so many I was going to wait for the updated galnetmiui ics one.
I would take the CM7 Nightly#146 and edit the .zip file and remove all the .apk files from system/app that you don't need.
That will give you a very light ROM.
Why has squad chosen to use 604mhz over 600mhz? Does it make any difference?
And the battery drains REALLY FAST in this ROM. I just had 65% of charge and then in 10 mins 49%
practically it doesn't make any difference
and your battery will drain faster because of many factors e.g - if internet service is on
i have the same problem. even i am not using internet and the mobile data and wifi are disabled. it drained faster.
Try to charge your phone until it's 100%. Turn off your phone and charge it again (I'm sure it won't show you 100% and still charging). Wait until it's show you 100%.
i got my battery 4%. I charge it a few minutes (not more than 5) and I got about 40%. Wow. But drains faster.
I think it's the battery calibration which is wrong.

When flashing new rom better to calibrate your battery first,
or you dont know how to do it cause it seems like you dont know a thing you were saying,
may i ask you? How long have you been using squads rom?
Dont talk about battery life if you havent used the rom for a week
cause by then you wont see nor judge its battery life just like that,
and one thing if you have doubts, dont use the rom then. Lets just be thankful a guy like squad
is trying to hold on to this project and please this is a shout out for all you guys
stop comparing developers! Its not fair alright?! Anyways peace y'all

Dude you are over reacting. First of all I haven't compared any roms. Second I have been using the rom for more than a week. Have been using cm7 since RC1.

When i said dont compare rom developers, its jst that i said it just in case some
people will, peace Man, and another one, batt for me using his rom, rc5.1
is good, last for atleast 3days, and me too, been flashing his rom since his 1st build.
I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo
i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...
I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

I was using tvall's CM7, I'm trying GinSense atm. I flashed LMCFroyo, but I missed all the advanced CM options... could give Biffmod a go I suppose. Thanks anyway.

I tried biffmod but can't remember how the battery behaved i'm afraid.I find lmcfroyo has a nice balance of speed, reliability and battery life. Mine was just a standard install.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?
Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:
Last update (developer rom) I thought I would do a fresh install. Since then it takes forever to charge my phone. Can anyone shed any light on whats going on I downloaded the latest version tonight and seems to be even worse. Charged for 4 hours only on 10%.
I have the same problem ! Glad I'm not the only one !
At first I thought it was the cable (and I'm still not 100% sure it isn't) but it looks like it comes from the phone.
I'm in holiday right now so I can't download an other ROM or try an other cable so I can't be sure but I just wanted to tell you that it seems like I have the same issue.
I'll try to fix this and update here

Charged with phone switched off, back to normal so must be software issue. Today seems to be running hot and battery draining quick,turned on profiles or battery saving and seems to have cooled down. It's definitely not the cable tried others and same results.

Yeah after the latest update mine is running hot as well...
Just charged for 2 hours phone on only up 2%
So which version are we running ?
Which one is stable ?
Right now I'm on 5.7.16 and I charge very slowly like 2% per 30 minutes so this version is not good enough.
Is someone running the newest version ?
Is 5.7.2 stable ?

Had a stable rom on phone so just flashed that at work and all is well again, charging as normal.
Unfortunately I can't use stable ROMs as I'm a MIUI beta tester so I get all the bugs but so far I haven't had many problems apart from one bootloop when I updated to 5.7.22

I have best results off the latest stable which I updated last night, the battery life is amazing and think I will stick with it until source code is released. Not had much time for forums since I bought xiaomi band out walking the dogs none stop.
I updated to 5.7.27 and so far it's amazing !
It charges extremely well and the battery life is awesome so I really recommend it
Glad they listen to us and fixed that bug ?
