Hello All,
I noticed there are a lot of posts regarding Battery Usage & Optimization...
I tried many many combinations of custom roms, basebands and kernels and I always face the same battery problem especially when 3G/MobileData is switched on.
I admit that Sony Ericsson gave us a ****ty stock rom with poor kernel however It's still the best rom in managing battery usage.
I made a small comparison on Stock rom VS Custom roms with 3G/MobileData left switched-on and I found the following:
Custom rom(s): battery drain down very fast it goes for 100% to 1% in less than 8 hours (normal apps installed)
Stock rom: battery lasts for 2-3 days with normal daily phone usage (same apps installed as i did in custom rom)
Please share your opinions.
Thanks,
Ayman
I don't agree at all...
Custom roms can have just as good, if not better, battery life.
I personally think this was a good idea. Nice post and info. Just curious, how long did you do this study with the data you got?

hey guys, i too have this issue, i dnt know if its device specific. ive had the phone since march(2010) last year and have been modifying it with the great mods that the devs hav given us. everytime i install a custom rom i just get unusual battery drain, like yesterday, i followed instructions to the letter and installed tripnravers miuifroyo 1.0.8 and i lost 10% battery in like 20 minutes n ive hardly used it :-(. so nowadays i stick wiv a modified stock 2.1(ewjet to b exact). im gna buy a new battery and see if i get the same results. i really wna use a custom(2.2+)rom but the battery problems are really putting me off, theres so many people out der that arent really having ny battery drain whcih jus dus my head

Thanks Voelker BTW this is my first Thread in XDA, I used to use SE 2.1 stock rom till the first stable Froyo custom rom came out. I switched to Froyo then I started to notice this around 4 months ago and I tried many combination and a lot of optimizations to find out the best one although Stock rom was always better.
@fiscidtox:
I love Foryo and GB much much more than Eclair I currently on CM6 v6 Wolfbreak
Could you please tell me how the battery lasts on your custom rom while MobileData is left switched-on?
Thanks,
Ayman
I get a full day..
If you mean stock with no tweaks then maybe it would last longer, but a lot of that would be not having jit enabled...

You must be doing something wrong!
10% in 20 mins isn't normal.
I'm sure if you left it settle this would rectify itself though.
I think the biggest advantage of the stock kernel so far is stability, but the ongoing development for the custom kernel is sucessful to implement some problems such as battery drain caused by unability to go into deep sleep etc..
I never understood needing more than 24 hours on a charge. Charge it while you're sleeping you wont be using it then anyway.
Even if you like the 2.1 Stock ROM for any reason (Stability,Battery,etc) and don't like all these awesome 2.2 and 2.3, you should at least use Eric's JET ROM which is based on the original ROM has no stability issues and has faaaaar better battery life.
But seriously, I`m using Custom ROMs since the first 2.2 ROM by Z and never even cared to get back to the stock ROM.
When I use Wifi custom roms have almost the same battery life as the stock rom. But since I can't connect to wifi at work on any custom rom, im forced to use 3g.. and I need to charge my phone twice a day with almost no usage.

Let it settle for at least two days to see improvement.
Your battery needs to adjust, much like letting your phone build a cache, in order to really see how the rom will effect anything.
Im using the stock rom and my battery lasts a maximum of 2 days with this tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934486
I dont use 3g at all and i use wifi sometimes (session lasts only 10 mins or so)
Brightness is set to "middle" also
Sorry dont agree..
I use wolfbreaks latest rom with the undervolt module.
Juice defender only enables my wifi when i am at home...all other times i have data on with facebook sync.
I now get the same battery life as i did on stock 2.1
Currently I have been unplugged for 1day and 12 hours and I am still at 38%.

That's an almost impossible question to answer as there are so many different factors involved which can affect battery life both on a custom rom and a stock one for example.
signal strength
push
gaming
screen brightness
Everyone will have a different experience and your best bet is to try different rom's and choose the one which suits you as a rom which is great for them may not be great for you.
If some rom creator would make make a black-red theme for his mod it would be probatly the best mod... Of course with all other goodies and tweaks.
Black-red theme because it would drain the lowest energy from the battary in the standart screen mode, but since we all use mostly different apps with different colors it will vary anyway.
To be fair, although it is purely anecdotal, people who have tried different ROMS while going through the sameness of their daily lives should be able to make a relatively valid comparison of battery life.
All the custom ROMs out at the moment are extremely close to stock, so I doubt there's much difference.

It appears the battery indicator is often way off. I let mine drain as much as it could til it would not boot at all, then charge it for 6 hours. Now it seems to last twice as long on stock (2 days with a lot of use)

I'm going to try this right now. I'll just let it stream some music over wifi at a high bitrate to drain it quickly. And using GPS, Blue-tooth. Playing music through PowerAmp at the same time.

That would be funny if a lot of the battery problems are actually because we keep thinking it is flat when it isn't - it is just being mis-reported. Kind of iphone batterygate in reverse.
I had a lock up on my device the other night but didn't realise until the following morning when I found the device unresponsive and stuck on my last screen. Although I had to pull the battery to regain control, the screen had stayed on all night because of the freeze and the battery meter graph was red for about 7 hours. The screen was still on and bright before I pulled the battery though.
Think I will also try ignoring the meter today.

Thank you guys for all your informations.
Not sure if this is in the right place for this info or not. But...I flashed myns synergy rom a couple of weeks ago and have been getting decent battery life. Today my battery life is blowing me away. Going on 11 1/2 hours since being unppugged with my normal usage. Not heavy use by any means but moderate at least. I have never seen this kind of battery life on any other rom I have flashed. Any other synergy users seeing good battery life?

Yes, from what I have read, you have to use the kernel that comes with the rom.
I am getting HORRIBLE battery life with the synergy rom....almost to where I cant use it. I LOVE the rom, but the battery life is frustrating!
Hopefully Netarchy will develop one that will work with this type of rom and we will be saved.

You will be waiting, cuz no custom kernels can be made until the kernel source from HTC is released.

I tried that for a bit over the weekend...but there was something I did not like about it...cant remember now. I will have a go with it again to verify.
At the end of the day...we can develop superb ROMS that have flashy flashes, but if the battery/components cant take it, then we are still at a stand still.
my battery life is good most of the time, but it seems there are periods where it drops quickly. i think it drops when the market alerts me about updates to my apps. both times i've had quick drops, the market has been the top app draining the battery and has a notification of updates. i don't see an option to turn of notifications is this updated version.

No but the netarchy kernel I use works just fine with my King's Alliance GB. It's all in the UNIVERSAL kernel, I should say
I usually get 24 hours up time and 3 hours awake before I've got to pop in a charged battery. Normally change out at 20% to keep it from going dead on me when I need it most.
Hello:
I bought a Galaxy S2 , (i had an Iphone 2) .
I already flash several times with diferent roms.
Yesterday i flashed with cognition 2.3.4 and during the night 40 % of bat gone...

I need to decide , i love the phone but i need battery..1 day its enough...( 18 hours) if i keep the SG2 or buy another Iphone4
Please help me :
Whats your best combination for kernel , rom , and modem...i dont care if its 2.3.4 or 2.3.3. Just Want some more battery.
Thanks in advance.

Villain 1.4 good battery life .
Multiple flashing of roms degrades battery life unless you reset battery stats and give the battery time to readjust + 80 %of battery drain is user apps /rogue aps constantly trying to connect /wake phone .

I use Lite'ning V1.5 and use Juicedefender for my Galaxy S II, it can work for 2 days for one charge
stock KF3 works great for me. You shouldn't need a special ROM to get decent battery time.
What is the display on time when the battery is getting close to empty? That tells a lot how you use the phone.

Must admit the battery on this SGS2 is a bit of a pain.
It takes all day to charge from 20% to FULL then about half a day to drain back to about 20%...

I am far from a noob, its just that I have been on aosp roms for months now. I have been checking out these new 3.0 roms but I never see information on battery life. Could you tell me your set up and how your battery life is. I also worry about the performance but need the phone to get through not of the day. Thank you

I was on stock OTA GB for about a month while I wasn't able to root, and my battery life was about 6 hours with constant lowest brightness display (that is, without the display turning off during that time). I could manage about 12 hours of minimal use.
I'm now on Synergy RLS1, and I have not noticed any improvement. I've done battery calibration and conditioning and nothing's changed.
I'm using the stock battery. I have a 3500mAh battery that doesn't seem to live much longer, but I haven't used it since I've rooted.

I got the phone new from Sprint just a little over a month ago. I flashed it along with the rom, so I wiped it including cache and dalvik cache.
I bought the extended battery about a week after thinking that my original battery may have been defective and that it would be nice to have a longer lifetime, but it only doubled (which isn't drastic considering how short it lasts with the stock battery).

Check my Sense setup. A day of moderate usage ends in about 50% battery left

I will check it out. Thanks
I'm new to the forums, new to EVO - coming from iphone 4, I must say.. have tried atleast 15 different roms, all of which drastically suck the life out of my battery.. gingerbread evo deck definitely seemed to be the best for my battery life.. I'm trying MikG right now and it seems hideous, love how it runs/looks but going from 100-80% battery, in less than 20minutes is not good. All i've been doing is browsing tapatalk forums.
Not sure what I've been doing wrong, I do ofcourse do a complete wipe between rom changes. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, and run superwipe vr - using armon latest. ( think that's what it is called lol)
Im running synergy rls1 with Freedom 0.8.5 morefreedom version and getting a good 16 hrs of moderate use. Also have carasoul 3.0 rosie so it might take it down a little bit.
