Hello guys,
I'm using cm 11 stable (latest) official for my i9300 with boeffla kernel 2.12 cm 11 NG. The system is quite stable as i'm using "Battery saving" profile ie. zzmoove/ battery yank.
The problem is that the system runs very smooth usually except the games. The games on the other hand runs relatively well but all of 'em cause huge battery drain, say for example after running asphalt 8 for 8-10 mins the battery goes down from 80 to 70 or 68%. Even google music drains like hell, too. Same things happened when i was in 5.1.1 roms. I also have powernap, amplify and greenify installed. Other than games the system sleeps well and drains very li'l.
And it should be noted that my stock battery is 2 years old.
So, is it a problem concerning me only, or every one faces this issue? should i go for a new battery?
Anyone plz enlighten me regarding the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Gaming drain seems abnormal
Never tried asphalt 8 but playing NFS:Most Wanted or other battery consuming offline and online games will give me around 2~2 and a half hours of gameplay from 100% so 10 mins for 10% battery is quite abnormal
Thank u very much.. So can it be a battery issue? what do u suggest, should i go for a new battery?
How old is your battery? Because in my device (2 year old battery), i've also encounter battery drain. So I decided to buy new one. As of now, everything seems fine.
Sorry bad english.

Mine is also stock battery 2 years old and I'm no battery expert but I can also feel my battery degrading.
So yours might really be battery issue and it degrades faster due to your usage pattern?

I was just wondering on how long your battery life was, I guess when comparing to idle time. I ask because this was the main issue of mine as to why I havent flashed anything. When idle I was getting up to about 3 - 4 days of battery.
If battery life is important to you I would avoid all ROMs other than stock.
Flashing 3rd party ROMs is likely to damage you battery calibrator which causes you battery life to drain rapidly since calibration gets all screwed up.
Nobody knows specifically what is causing this serious issue but what we do know is that it happens when you flash a 3rd party ROM/Kernel.

custom roms usually use the stock kernel. what you get on your stock rom, you should get on a custom.
battery life is also subjective and variable, depending on your useage patterns, etc.

Once again... lick my butthole 5thelement. Man you really bring out the class in me tonight bro.
I've been using task650s ROM with great battery life. I did have the battery drain issue which I don't think is really ROM related but once I went through the suggested calibration on this forum everything has been great. Think I've had my Tab on for 5-6 days with it at idle through the night and earlier parts of the day and using it for internet browsing and music around the house each evening. Turned it off last night with 30-40% battery left (just a guess).

Yea I am familiar with screwed up battery life calibration on my Captivate. I was getting anywhere from 8 hours to a day and a half which was why I was asking.

Really? Hmm thats good to know, I will look into that one then if I consider flashing.
Heavy usage (a lot of browsing, notes, some games) nets me a little over a day. My usage can be heavy and nonstop.
My average is around 2 days before I have to charge. That's mostly moderate heavy. My usage is abnormal but I can say I'm happy with its battery life.
Using tasks rom and pershoots kernel.
My usage is heavy everyday so I get about 7 - 8 hours of screen time by the time I go to bed and usually I am around 30% - 35% left. I use it all day for when I am on the train or in class. Running Starburst KME at the moment but I got the same average battery life on all ROMs using stock kernel. Pershoots kernel is reliable and I could go an extra day if I wanted.

yeah, battery life for the galaxy tabs seems to be pretty poor! i just can use my 10.1v (stock) for only about 3 or 4 days. just for a little bit of wifi surfing and ebook reading (wifi switches off during standby).
i really love my galaxy tab, and i hated my ipad, but regarding battery life i used to charge my ipad only once a month!!! really. and i used it exactly for the same things as my galaxy tab.
samsung promised it to have similar battery life as the ipad...one more lie from them...
i have the elegant white rom,its awesome low ram consumption speed etc.
BUT first to change stock rom(original from manifacturer)i could play 2 hours and 1/2 sometimes 3 without trouble with battery at 30/35% left now i play 5 mins and my battery goes from 93% to 87% in 5 min
so 6%x12=72%battery lost in 1 hours its bad really bad! i also installed the battery fix but notthing!in idle without playing i lost 2/3% per hours so this is good.
someone have my same trouble? it is normal?if so i should install back stock rom?
if i get stock rom again the battery should be fine?
the elegant rom is on stock 2.3.7 i had 2.3.3 when i bought this phone
sorry for bad english i have not much time
thx everyone
(already done calibration)
to full charge it takes 1 hours max is it normal?

You need to calibrate your battery (and/or delete your battery stats)

i said:already done
done 2 days ago after let phone shut down and charged until 100%
Roms based on CM7.2 do drain battery massively compared to stock so going back to stock would help.
Battery callibration does not help - see Here
Same problem here... Living with it cuz stock has just become old and lazy
But if you really want battery switch to stock its way better than cm

umm is there a different battery life between
2.3.3 and 2.3.7?
I'll try to install stock rom.I'm doing a test with my friend's phone stock rom no Root my battery has more life with wifi and browsing.didn't try with gaming yet

Any difference between 2.3.3 .5 .7 ?
which of these has more life?

There isn't a noticeable difference in both versions in terms of battery life. However, 5.7 has better performance and is noticeable.
You can try underclocking to something like 730 MHZ and save a decent amount of battery life without losing performance. Check this OC kernel out:
OC zImage
Also, use Cyanogenmod, ADW launcher without customizations is faster than the stock touch-wiz UI launcher.

I just want to have a long life of battery so ill come back to stock .7
For all those who r shouting that battery calibration doesnt improve battery.. Did the XDA said it improves battery life?? Do u ppl know wats the meaning of calibration?? Calibrating means adjusting something to the accurate value.. Not improving the value!! Even we never said it ll improve battery life.. Battery calibration just calibrates the reading to more accuarte one. So let the ppl calibrate it. Else leave. It ll automatically gets adjusted after 1 or 2 week.. U can see urself the change..

Yes, many members on XDA said that callibration improves battery life. The battery indicator on your status bar does not use batterystatus.bin. It does not automatically adjust after 1 week or 2. It re-calibrates every time you charge!
Read the article posted by XDA for more:
google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
well i dont know about you all
but on my phone battery percantage isnt that accurate
cause when i unplug phone from charger and just open game or do something battery percantage goes to like 90%
but when my battery percantage is low like 18% it holds 30mins on 18%
I've tested many roms here and stock rod do tend to have better battery life, but... When i tested the RAZRv3 by TeamCooper, it had extremly good battery life.
When i got my Ace it had froyo, that lasted about 2.5-3 days. I upgraded to gingerbread official, battery lasted about 1.5-2 days on. Then i tried several custom stock roms and they all lasted about 1-2 days.
After that i started testing CM7 (both 7.1 and 7.2) roms and most of them lasted 12-18 hours (i used the wifi disables 3g function and some other tweaks to last the battery longer otherwise those roms would not have been usable)
Then i got to the RAZRv3 i used it for 2 weeks and the battery was amazing, it lasted easily for 3 days with no other tweaks than "wifi disables 3g" and also the performance was good. No lag!
Then i tested the CM7.2byFAT and the battery was awful but i really liked the rom so i keep 3g disabled when i dont use internet (all background apps use 2g internet) and now the battery last for 2 days.
As i've tested.... 3g takes really alot of battery in CM7 roms but in RAZRv3 (cm7.1 based) it worked like a charm.
So.. Everyone who wants really good battery life should test RAZRv3 that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
heya fellas
been on cm9 for 2 weeks now and all i can say is AMAZING WORK Devs
seriously a great experience with ICS compared to other modded ics versions...
I've been trying to beat wakelocks for the past few days and i can say i'm almost there, 3 wakelocks keep poping every once in a while but other than that both performance and batt life are great
first of all i started with a good batt calibration
then it was minimal/normal use to check it out
1. audioout_1 sucks battery for the period i have my phone connected to the aux playing online radio thru my car speakers... other than that its dead
2. Android OS hardly sucks battery since the batt gives me 1-1.5 days of batt life of a total wakelock of 1.5-2 hours which is very understandable yet could be minimized...
3. mediaserver sucks battery the most out of the the rest, very random behavior with batt life going down 1x to 3x the normal batt idle life , i tried to find the culprit but had no luck yet... searched for corrupt media files(photo thumbnails/video/music... no luck)
now before moving-on to messed around with kernals, id like to resolve my default setup (cm9 nightly latest build with no mods)
i know i can flash siyah's latest build which solves a lot of the problems/helps with batt life/..... (i read there and am updated as to whats going on with wifi n such problems) , i can undervolt which hardly affects the consumption as i previously tested with GB versions of siyahs , theres a lot to do to help with batt life which would make my phone a useless piece of hardware but i like to keep it all running and ready...
if anybody wanna join in and help, they're more than welcomed to ...
Anyone?

Sounds like you already have everything figured out. All I can suggest is forget about squeezing the last 15 minutes of battery life out of your phone and actually start using it as a phone ;-)
I already am just wanted to see how much of a diff it would make by solving those small things...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Actually those aren't small things... Android OS consumed more battery than 2:30 hours screen time.. I suspect kworkers. I've installed watchdog and got a lot of alerts (see screenshot) . Also mediaserver is on top consumers. If you install Android Status and go to processes you'll see that mediaserver pops out even if you don't play media or media scanning is not running.
Can this be fixed? I'm running cm9 nightly 9.05
i have got the phone with cm 10.1 from a friend so i do not know how it was with the stock version
i want to know if the problem from the battery or the rom also it takes alot of time in chargin aroud 6 hours to complete i also use blackberry charger so whats wrong?
the last issue that i can fing some lag specially when openning multiple tabs or in playing
i use the build 18/1/2013
is there any fix in the performance in the current nightly?
Battery life depends on your usage more than it does on what ROM it is.
If you're playing games for 2 hours on your phone, don't expect much.
If you're on standby and its losing more than 2% per hour, then you need to get BetterBatteryStats, CPUspy and check out which app is causing this.
Hello guys
Just wanted to share with you my experience with the OnePlus 2 concerning the SOT.
When I first got the phone (ordered from Gearbest), it had Hydrogen OS, it was a bit laggy and crappy battery life. I was scared as I thought that my device was faulty since it's ordered from china. I flashed Oxygen OS 2.1 through TWRP after full wipe, had only root and using Greenify, it got a bit better, but still, it wasn't perfect, there was some lag here and there (wasn't able to go beyond 52k in Antutu), and I would reach 3h30 SOT at best with heavy usage (my daily usage usually contains some gaming, listening to music, lots of browsing and facebook/messenger, whatsapp, youtube.. etc).
Until someone in the OnePlus forums suggested that I install AK kernel, so I did, and boy am I amazed. Performance suddenly become way better (62k in Antutu), and the most important thing, is the SOT results I'm getting now. Battery drained 40% while I got 3 hours of SOT as you can see in the provided screenshot. I played Asphalt for a bit, did some browsing and youtube and facebook, took some photos, used 4G for about an hour of this time, with GPS on battery saving, sync off, and 40% brightness. Android system and Android OS seem to drain a lot of battery though, would probably get better results if this gets fixed.
Seriously I'm so ****in' satisfied! Kudos to the developers of AK kernel, kudos to OnePlus for making such an amazing device at such a price (pretty sure you can't get these SOT results on the most expensive devices like Samsung or LG).
This proves that the device itself is a beast, it just needs the perfect software/kernel for it and nothing can stop it.
I hope that OnePlus team releases a more stable OOS version, with more features, probably with Android 6.0 as soon as possible? who knows :laugh:
Share with us your overall experience with your OnePlus 2.
Cheers.
Still on the same cycle.
PS: forgot to mention that the phone's temperature became waaaay better after flashing AK kernel. The phone barely gets a bit warm and that happens when I'm gaming for a long duration or using 4G. It stays pretty cool on WIFI, with tons of apps running all at the same time (thanks to 4GB of RAM).
Glad to hear it. I will root it asap and test some kernels. Hope I have same experience
I have found great improvements using this kernel. i found playing a tower defense game for an hour took 20% battery. However battwry stats not accurate - restarting phone can see a drop of 10%.
First 3 charge cycles where 0% to 100%, and after 2% to 100%. Have never reset battery stats tho since 3 clean rom/kernel flashes

What tower defense game... My OPT drains so much battery with Kingdom rush origins and frontiers. I guess I could play it for 3 hours straight with one charge though...
sent from my OPT
With latest AK v.013, I am getting a battery life of almost 28 Hours with SOT around 5 Hrs. I don't use data and WiFi in on 95% of the time. Usage includes some music, Clash of Clans, Whatsapp, Mail, Twitter and other few apps. Kudos to AK for this amazing performing kernel.

3 hours of straight gaming is awesome!
Sorry to say that, but it's nothing special. Battery life depends most of the apps you are using. I've got similar scores on stock kernel. Look at the screenshot. From 90% it's 5h sot with 18% left. So kernel thing=control. But battery life=common sense ?
I have the same usage on stock kernel as AK kernel, using the same apps, yet the battery stats are way different. How can you explain that?
