I noticed when I go into battery use on Cyanogen and check whats eating up my resources, display is normally like 60%
But when I switch roms to Enomther for example with the same usuage, the display is always around 20-30%..
Whats going on
Is there a bug on CM?
Seriously. Do we really need another battery thread? I think you've posted in on almost every one of them. If your going to help, you'll need to offer up a whole more detail and your findings if you're going to get anywhere. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. It's just an observation.
Why my battery is draining so soon?

@shrishail87: what apps r u running in the background ? have u ticked the auto sync function & tell us ur way of using the phone- i mean wifi on or with 3G on or heavy gaming .... etc etc
without these information, its very difficult to comment about the battery life... hope u understand.... otherwise why dont u flash lite ROM pro 1.3 which is there in the dev section ? its the best so far.... try it & report here..

OP, here's some good news. Indian batteries don't behave any differently than batteries from other regions. You should feel comfortable participating in the half-dozen battery threads knowing that what effects you in India effects everyone else exactly the same way.
I love to play around with new ROMs and kernels and usually don't mind a few hiccups and occasional poor performance. But soon I will have a one week period where I need my phone to be as solid as possible. What's the best ROM/kernel for this?
I currently use CM7 as my daily and have tested CM9. CM7 is great except battery life is pretty bad, with both the CM7 and Samurai kernels. I lose about 1% of battery for every 90 secs I'm actively doing something - even on Wifi and with a strong 3g signal. A 15minute drive with GPS (and screen off) easily takes 10% off my battery. This is unacceptable for my upcoming event.
I would like a ROM/kernel combo that can go for a minimum of 12 hours with moderate use. No voice, but frequent texting, email, twitter checks, some photos, and calling up pdfs. Battery life and stability are the top concerns, but GPS is important as well. CM7 gives me the best GPS results I've ever had with my Epic, but like I said, the battery performance is awful.
Any ideas? Focusing on all the cutting edge stuff means I've lost touch with the latest improvements on the more basic, but more solid ROMs.
Thanks!
get a larger battery or pick up a spare oe battery as a backup.
this is one of those questions you just dont ask cause it all depends on how you use your phone and all that i know you say what you mostly use it for but it still doesnt help if you are looking for a stable rom as far as mtd goes they are all good and as far as kernels go they are all good but the kicker is just finding what works best for you feel free to play around with them flash one per day and figure out which one works best for you cause honestly we cant tell you cause what would extend our battery life might not work for you because you use your phone differently than we do but trust me all of our devs are gonna throw out something that doesnt work all the warnings are there and all the help and how to's for each rom and kernel are in their respective threads sorry i couldnt give you a better answer bud
happy flashing
Oh and I forgot to mention since you have been running cm7 make sure you don't flash a bml rom not sure if u were aware of that or not so only flash and MTD rom and kernel
CleanGB. No OC/UV, and buy an epic touch 1800mah battery. For me I get best responsiveness vs battery life if I run 100/800mhz with governer set to performance. You'd have to REALLY try to kill that battery in a day with this setup.
Edit: you use gps in the car without plugging it in? No wonder your battery commits suicide lol. If I use gps and stream music through bluetooth it still discharges on the charger.
There is no such thing. Even pure stock has errors on some people's phones. You need to try one or if it is that important than stock is your best bet. EVERY Phone is different. Read through some of the ROMs...95% of the people have no problems and 5% do. It is the nature of the beast. No one can tell which is best for YOUR phone. And if CM7 is giving you terrible battery life, there already is something wrong with your phone setup. You probably need to start from scratch and restore no apps or data and download apps fresh from the market.
I've always had good luck with CleanGB roms & kernals by toadlife.

But not everybody does. There is no best. I can easily say marcusantrom with shadow kernel is best on touchwiz and CM7 with the kernel it comes with is the best in general. I won't say this because different people have different phones and preferences... if you really want the best rom/kernel/theme, make it yourself.
In Soviet Epic forum, clockworkmod root you!
Hello!
Coming from a Motorola to this phone now I need a quick heads up about wich Custom Rom I should choose.

Battery life actually depends on alot of factors. For example, the number of running apps and how many times it wakes the phone, how long the screen is turned on, what apps you use, the kernel, signal strength.

Of course I know this, but there is always a rom wich has better batteri life than others when you have standard usage of your phone..
Lets call this 30 sms daily
10 mails daily
15 minutes browsing news with browser
1 hour of call time
2 mms
And a couple of facebook updates
When you play games and things like that is a whole other story. But most of the time the rom with the best battery will always have the best battery either you play a lot, surf a lot and so on...
Hello XDA!
So, I've recently gotten into rooting and custom ROMS, kernels etc with my SM-N9005.
And as you might know, this can result in having to take your battery out and in a lot.
And I've noticed that when I first got the phone, there used to be way more "force" from the 4 pins that connects the battery.
So is it a bad thing to take the battery out too much of your phone? I kind of liked the "force", but it's mostly gone now.

Firstly...
why do you need to plug out your battery too much, just for rooting, flashing recovery, and flashing custom ROM ?
My battery still intact on its place since D1, though I've just rooted few weeks back, and do flashing custom ROM quite a lot during these past few weeks, but I never plug out my battery.
So basically, why do you have to do that ?
Basically, everything which is "forced" is always hurt and not good if you understand what I mean. hehehe
But, so long as your battery now is still working correctly, try not to plug out so many times, unless you really really in need to do that.
And if your reason is flashing custom ROM, no way man. Please follow the instructions on each custom ROM you flashed, for sure, there shouldn't be any step asking you to plug out battery.
Cheers.
