Basically, a few weeks ago I flashed assonance 5.0 and my standby battery life was terrible. The battery would die by the time I got out of school which is around 7-8 hours of standby time.
So hoping to solve this problem. I flashed the captivate version of doc's rom and I have the exact same battery life. I have recalibrated the battery many times as well.
Sooo, do you think my battery has gone bad?
And if so, any good places where I could get a spare?

Many have posted eBay has some good deals.
I still suspect that many of these phones were shipped with crap batteries hence the differences with people using the same roms having much different battery life.

Well the thing is that my battery life wasn't terrible before. Or not this bad at least :x

Have you at least tried reflashing to stock to see if the problem is with the roms or with your battery?
Not for an extended period... but the thing is I read through some of the rom threads. And if it was the rom people would be complaining about battery life, but no one is :/
In fact, it is quite the opposite...

kernel related or bad battery!!!!
Well i am using Glitterball's latest kernel before Firebird. Or the stock kernel that came with the Doc's Captivate Rom 7.0
Either way, there has been a huge drop in battery life and I do not think it is kernel related, because on the Assonance 5.0 rom, i was running Setiron's 1.4.7 kernel with the exact same problems with battery life :'(
This is highly dependent on how you have your settings on your phone.
1) Wi-Fi constantly looking for an active network connection? At least have it go to sleep when the phone goes on standby. I only turn mine on at home or otherwise need and have access to it. Otherwise its off.
2) GPS running all the time? Personally, I rarely ever need to use it, but it runs great when I do.
3) Display at recommended brightness or higher? Recommended or less is best as far as saving battery power. I like mine all the way down. Don't need/want it any brighter.
I even tend to use only darker wallpapers as bright and lighter colors pull more power on AMOLED screens. This makes a little bit of difference. How much I don't know, but I do know that it does. Sometimes the above settings like to change on you. It's a good idea to check 'em once in a while.
While it's usually always around 60% full when I go to bed, I still charge my cell every night.
I have found that the speedmod kernel is real good for conserving battery power. Not downing other kernels as they're all real good. Speedmod handles battery consumption better in my experience.
Have you installed any new software that might be accessing the network checking for updates/feeds, etc?

1)I always had my Wifi sleep policy on never. So its not what is affecting the battery life
2) Never have GPS on unless i need it. Heck, when i need it, it never works.
3) nothing that i didnt have before.
Basically, I haven't changed anything to cause the decrease in battery life.
Your two biggest drains on battery are WiFi (especially when consistently seeking - any new access points where you leave it on standby all day?) and your display. Could it be your battery? Sure. Go exchange it at AT&T. They shouldn't have a problem exchanging it for you

BTW, now I use this rom [ROM][AOSP][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] SuperNexus 2.0 - I9000 - BUILD 3 / 21.02.2013
As I had been told that "stock roms" would be more careful with battery life... however, I can't find the right modem for it... and it seems 3G is comsuming most of my battery resources by now..
For correct modem it depends on where you stay or built up areas as i use
ZSJPG and thats for Hong Kong and I am in the UK
Battery life is awesome and wifi/3g connectivity
Heres some Info : CLICK HERE
I only really use my z1 for Spotify, LINE, reddit and Facebook. Currently the battery life isn't so great as it needs charged during the day..
What's the best rom/firmware etc to flash which will give me the best battery performance?
I've not been on xda for quite some time so I'm a bit out of the loop,I did some looking but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Cheers!

I'm on stock but rooted lollipop, with Stamina mode and Greenify helping each other out. Also I underclock down to 1GHz but I'm not quite sure if it helps.
On all my past devices running the stock firmware almost always makes the most out of your battery.

Sorry for late reply, didn't get notified.
I think that's normal pretty normal battery if you use Spotify+LINE+reddit+Facebook with 2 out of 4 signal o__o
Well the thing is that when you play music on spotify, your phone cannot sleep.
You should try to get a better signal/reception of wi-fi and cellular. I have read that these without good signal could cause battery drain, as you see, cell standby at 9%. Sorry I don't know how to improve those but :/ yeah..
Maybe try "Stamina Mode" if you didn't activate it (It should have a + logo next to the battery when activated)?
Lower your brightness if you can, that's the biggest drain!
At last, for a rom suggestion,I don't have because I'm stuck on stock roms ._. , maybe try some custom roms when you have free time

Yeah it's not too bad I guess, I just use it more than I realise. Already running mxrom, I've found stamina mode doesn't make much difference.
Thanks for the tips!
The title explains it all—I'm wondering what the best kernel settings are to achieve the best battery life without completely dropping performance. I've never tweaked the kernel on any phone I've owned before, so I have no idea what those settings might be. I currently get around 5-6 hours of SOT, which is great for heavy usage but with a battery those huge we should expect way more.
I'm currently playing around with majorly under clocking the CPU (Currently testing at 1.2 GHz) and have yet to notice a difference in performance. I'll update with battery improvements if any arise.

im on zzmove with profile 6, run only 2 core at 2.4Ghz and every thing seem good
phone run cool and great in game(framerate still good and more stable since no throttling at all, before that with stock, my phone get hot and lag if i play asphat for long) not sure about battery yet but seem good
Try computerfreak ROM, i'm getting 77 hrs on battery and 6 SOT!
Oops just now noticed I had replies.
I'm currently running Resurrection Remix and I seem to be getting better battery life than I was on stock, which is odd; however, I wish to get more. Update me on those kernel settings.
Also I noticed that when I'm at school the cellular signal drains my battery considerably. The signal there is poor, is there any way I can minimize the drainage?

That's a ridiculously easy thing to do, I can't believe I didn't think of this. However, its rather inconvenient. Any other ways? I heard back in 4.4.4 that there was a way to disable certain bands or something to consume less power when you have bad signal.

I'm on rr and honestly I'm not getting the best battery. Like 3.5 hour on screen time. It does still make it through the day though. I changed the kernel settings to conservative under cpu, which helped a lot from previously getting under 3.

Settings, configs, performance tuning, kernal tweaks, then in the app in the cpu tab, the cpu governor option. That's where I found it and I turned it down and I'm getting better battery.
That's odd. I get considerable better battery life on RR than I did on stock. I've hit 5.5 and even 6 hours of SOT with heavy to medium use (when I'm not at school at least).
Same here, but I noticed it lasts much longer with Greenify and Amplify installed with Xposed. I lose about 2-3% during standby mode during the night....whereas before I lost about 10-15% even while on RR.
Just got 7HR and 4 mins screen on time with in 2 days didnt use my phone at school only when i was at home so i guess 7hr's is good..
EDIT: i am on stock ROM

That sounds right about what stock should be getting for some users. It's good to reference stock with your personal use versus someone else.
1 hour of a playing a game with full brightness will use significantly more battery than an hour of book reading on night move although they both technically have the same screen on time.

I usually consistently got about 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time on stock with medium to heavy usage at school and at home.
On Resurrection Remix, I usually get 5 or sometimes 5 and a half or 6 hours, with heavy usage at home. On school days, I can only manage to get around 3, which I find incredibly odd. I chalk it up to the poor signal at my school draining my battery.

It definitely is decent, but with a battery this huge we should be getting way more. Especially since Moto and Verizon preached about 48hr battery life.

You can get 48 hrs on the Turbo. You can also get 5 hrs. Like I said before, it all depends on your personal usage. Perhaps they have a baseline test they do on every phone so there's no variable aside from battery.

Hi guys just bought the ROG phone 2 a week ago, just would like to know about the Battery life? I've done all the settings recommended by the battery optimization module suchs screen brightness and screen timeout etc. I also turned off my GPS but I noticed after sleeping for 9hours or so after leaving my phone idle the battery which was initially 90% dropped to 83%. Is that normal? Cause I've seen youtube claim u can game for 3 hours and the battery will only drop by 5%. Or is that only when u turn on xmode? Also I do leave my mobile data turned on but is that enough to drain the battery to this extend?

Can't shed any light on your query, but can add, if have data/reception switched on, it will consume more or less depending on your signal strength as it searches for the strongest source. So it'll vary user to user.
If not informative... Oh well, at least, I had some input lol

Thanks any input is better than none at all. So it's relatively normal that my battery drains 8 - 10 percent when idle? It's because of the signal strength? It doesn't really bother me much but I would just like to make sure that's it's within the norm and not faulty battery or something

Doubt its a faulty battery. And no doubt there are more factors involved than only signal strength, but yeah,signal strength does play a part in it. It might not make too much difference while your at home ie in one place, but you're on the move as the phone goes in and out of stronger or weaker signal areas, the phone has to keep scanning for the best possible connection, which consumes more battery.
I haven't noticed a great deal of difference running latest A10 update (2004.60) compared to A9, but others favour A9 for better battery. Which version are you on? Some say latest A10 is on par with A9, others disagree. Each to their own!
Personally I don't monitor it religiously, so not sure what my percentage drop per hour or over a given time frame is, so I can't advise you on that.
Battery for me lasts about 2 days with some to spare and a fair amount of usage. I only play Bike Race, I'm not a hardcore gamer. That's good enough for me and similar to what it was on A9. Not too sure of screen on time
Edit: actually, just noticed my battery is at 11 percent, the screenshot should give you a fair idea of what to expect... Obviously, I varies on apps installed /in use too. There's probably more factors, not too sure

Thanks it does clear up some things and also I'm on A9 but u've mentioned battery lasts for 2days? Is your mobile data turned on? Frankly I've noticed my battery does tend to drop faster when mobile data is turned on so it might be as u've mentioned about mobile data and the signal strength. Although I don't really get out much since the entirety of the outside world looks straight outta fallout 4. But find it hard to believe the phone just drop 5 percent of battery after 3 hours of intensive gaming( according to youtube anyway ) considering it drops way below that point even when idle.
Yes, the signal strength from your mobile network operator does affect the battery consumption.. I've noticed this when I am at remote areas.. It's plausible for the 5% drop in battery during gaming if you have turned on the airplane mode..
I have been using the ROGPHONE 2 since January 2020. Only way the battery is draining faster than it should are 2 reasons.
1st is there is a defect.
2nd is weak cellular signal.

Your issue is most likely one (or more) of a few things:
If you're on Android 10, which in my experience has battery drain and heating issues (that's why I downgraded to Android 9)
You have some frequent wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake and draining your battery (if you have root, or don't mind rooting, flash Kirisakura kernel and install EX Kernel Manager to see the top wakelocks)
You have apps in the background that are auto-starting and taking up network bandwidth, even when your phone is idle (check under Settings > Battery > PowerMaster > Auto-start manager and disable the apps which you don't rely on for constant notifications)
Hope that helps you.
