Oh the post with the words and the zip file?
Lol we need more than that to help.... what post?
I get anywhere from 10-16 hours on Macnut 13 with JK6, depending on usage

4 hours with what?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I get great battery life with jk6. 5 hours idle and didn't drop even one percent, but it drains fast if I use wifi.

What if you delete MediaHub and DRMua?
I seem to get much better battery without those.
I also enable WIFI during sleep... it's in the advanced settings under wifi.
And of course I remove all of the other bloat apps.

JK6 with all the crap removed and I average 18-24 hours with moderate use. The lowest I've seen is 12 hours and I had the screen on for almost 7 of those.
Looking forward to when we get source code and can run an undervolted kernel.

I get really great battery with JK6. I suggest you to do battery conditioning.

JK6 has great idle battery life for me but as soon as i start to use the phone for low activities it drain faster. By "low activities" i mean as in making call, use map, navigation, changing settings.....
Here is my usage report:
3h since unplugged from over night charge
73% left
Display on for 45m 19s (lowest setting w/ auto brightness turn off)
Voice call 45m 21s
Cell standby 3h
Phone idle 2h 15m
To me this was worst than when i was running JI6. Also i lost 3G every now and then in the same area that i travel everyday.

Using maps and navigation are some of the most power-consuming tasks you can do with this phone. Navigation in particular killed my Vibrant dead in a few hours.

The kswap process eats a upon of battery when in use on the jk2 roms. I thought jk6 had this fixed, but it may just be better on the custom roms. I get great battery life on my jk6 rom.

Are you running stock jk6 or custom jk6 rom?

Getting excellent battery life, 1+ day with 30% left when I last charged it last night. I moderately use it too, some browsing/gaming, along with heavy texting and occassional GPS use.

I had similar battery life using various custom kernels. Installed Aux. 2.1 with stock. With heavy use I am running around 8 hours. Normal use around 12-16. Those other kernels will eat your battery alive. Try a stock kernel. Conditioning doesn't do crap.

noticed this also, doesn't really make a difference to me.

Most of these problems are user error. I woke up today with around 70% this mourning at 7am. Its 12 hrs later and im at 42%.
My Day:
combined 45min of calls
atleast 30 txt message
Ton of emails and they sync all day
Started my music player at 9 and didnt pause until 5pm. playing out of speaker
Browse the internet off and on all day
downloaded a 100mb mixtape torrent through 3g
screen brightness at about 60%
Probably a couple other things but app called Battery Left is telling me I have 10hrs left.
I really suggest running all stock. I need no lagfix/special kernal or anything with the newest leaked samsung firmware. Havent had a single issue since I switched to this rom.

I'm sorry, but I have a very hard time believing that, ALL THAT, only took 28% battery.

17%after a couple more torrents. Not wirth trying to prove but the stock rom made my extended battery worthless besides special occasions.

Thanks for the help. My battery died after four hours as expected. Plugged in and reconditioned and let it charge till it was full. Now It's been about five hours unplugged and I'm down to ninety six percent.
However as some of you have posted my battery drains VERY fast once I use it sparsely. It dropped almost 5 percent after a few mins of browsing the market. Weird. But whatever standby is amazing.

[Q] Which NAND build has the longest battery life?

Which NAND Build has the longest battery life in your experience?
A friend of mine told me DorimanX has an up to 5 days life in standby. Is that true?

That's true
Android is less efficient that wm, though smoother (web browser)

I checked app call Battery Dr. It says that my phone has idle time of 311 Hrs at 89% battery. That's amost 13 days.... lol
Ive learned to use battery saver app which I think you can find many threads in here. It prolong my usage to more than 12 hrs which i'm very glad.
I'm using NDT MIUI.

The experience of each ROM varies with each user. There is no ROM which has a definitive best battery life. All ROMs now tend to have pretty good battery lives. In airplane mode, the battery drain is about 1%/2hrs (no use) and with phone on its slightly under 1%/hour. Most things turned on now don't affect battery drain too much (eg. with wifi and bluetooth my battery drain is 5-7mA, it's normally 4).

Agree. I've tried out many roms, and they all have very similar battery life. MOst will last about a day with moderate use.
Sense roms have very slightly higher battery drain, but sill last about a day. (And they are much prettier...!)

The old Hyperdroid ROM have great battery life

I can easily get over 30 hours moderate use with tytung's nexus hd2 ROM (clk)

Best battery SGS ROM and kernel

I have to charge my SGS daily.
Reading some opinions at forum I noticed that average SGS lasts about 2 days.
In 6 hours sleep SGS eats 10% battery (previous phone with same battery, more stuff: max. 3%).
What kernel and ROM are you preffering?
Thanks.

MilkyRom - Best for battery
Hi,
I'm a fairly light user and I found MilkyRom v1.3 to have amazing battery life - I could get between 4 and 5 days use from one charge:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207466
It's also really fast and stable too Downside is that it's only JVR
I've just moved to ZuBy's JVT ROM and that seems pretty good too - I reckon I'll get at least 3 days from a single charge:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360372
Enjoy!

unles the creator of some particular mod have not broke anything there will be no change in battery life betwen mods
only thing that could impact battery usage is user

I got amazing battery life on stock JVT with Semaphore, as long as I disabled 3G and WiFi when I didn't need them. We're talking 3+ days with 3+ hours with display on...

Oh, it's easy to get a long battery life!
Just switch off WiFi, 3G, GPS, synchronizing, direct push, etc. and finally set your display brightness to 10%!

is there the FC bug with Semaphore kernel also?

i get display on +6 hours on CM7 with fugu kernel, so yeah, there is that

I use obsession XXJVT (wich is almost fully stock, only difference +16 lockscreens) chainfire kernel and I get full 48 hours of intensive usage. About 10 - 15 hrs of youtube, 2-3 hrs gaming, about 30 mins of talking and 30 sms to send. And with 3g and WiFi always on. To mention I do not use any tweaks than Juwe's RAM script.

can anyone please confirm no FC with custom kernels?

I call sh*t on this. 10-15 hours of youtubing, display time of 15hours? That is with gaming for 2-3 hours?
Impossible.

Had the best battery life with some Darky ROMS so far, but I am always wondering about the stats some people post here. I was far away from these runtimes the whole time I own this device.
Maybe because I keep 3G, WiFi, Sync etc. on most of the time... But that's what I bought a smartphone for.
If I would disable everything that makes my Phone a smartphone I could also have bought a Nokia...

It all depends on the kernel anecd the options that have been applied. Too many variables have to be considered and their corelations as well. That said no FC should take place if everything is applied correctly according to creator's suggestions.

MIUI mint berry has a very good battery life. On samsung firmwares I had to recharge the battery 2 times a day on my normal usage.

I currently use galaxydroid 3.3, with semaphore 1.9 kernal. This give fantastic battery life, drops only around 5-6% over night, I have wifi,gps and 3g all switched on all the time and the 3.3 rom gives loads of nice little tweaks, which are gone from 4.0

I use jvz odexed stock with semophore 2.1.1 and I'm lucky to get 6 hours of screen usage with screen set to very dark... Usually just using 2g service with tapatalk....

I use S.U.R.F.A.C.E 7.01 ROM with Semaphore 2.1.1 kernel and Thunderbolt scripts, and battery lasts about 2 days with 3G on all day, wifi morning/evening, airplane mode at night, and moderate usage of Tapatalk, calls, browsing.

I use Juwe Smart edition and battery lasts 3 days with wifi on and 3g and 2-3 hours of use

[Q] N910C Battery Life

Can users with 910C tell us what is the battery life on that model?
I was on 5.0.1 stock PDA N910CXXU1BOC3 and CSC N910COXX1BOC1, battery life was terrible, after that i downgrade to 4.4.4 stock PDA N910CXXU1ANK5 and CSC N910COXX1ANK2, i made a full calibration after.
My screen time in 22 hours is 2h and 30m, 37% battery left. Rest was idle. It is so, so little. In standby i got 0-1% in 10h, so idle standby is very good. Band was set on GSM only, all sensors deactivated.
Any advices? What are your times gentlemans on SM-N910C model?

I'm on 5.0.1 BOC3 and every day I have WiFi and Bluetooth on all day, screen at just under 25% brightness (unless outdoors). I regularly get 6 hours SoT, but usually finish the day with 4-5 hours SoT and about 20% battery left. Today so far the phone has been on 4 hours with SoT of 1 hour and I have 89% battery left. Did you do a factory reset before/after moving to Lollipop? Coming from an N7000 I've been very pleased with the battery life on the N910C.

try greenify, it improved it a lot! (from 2hours to 3.5hours)

I have Greenify installed, but honestly don't find I need to use it much. I have automatic hibernation turned off, and just hit the widget now and again when I feel the need to close some persistent apps. (I am not rooted).

Pff. Thats splendid. Mine goes 1% every 1-2 minutes when im use it. I tryed 3-4 roms, different base, LL and KK too. Same battery life. In standby is very good. Its drops when i use phone. I charged 3 h and 50 mins ago. Now i have 79% with 55 mins of screen. I belive it is very weak. On this percentage i will get 3 h of screen

Sounds like maybe some app you have installed is causing problems, or could be a problem with your battery. Have a read through some of the other threads on battery life for tips and possible solutions.

Battery life in Android Nougat

Hello. I make this thread to share your battery lifes in new system. In Nougat i hlave only 4-4,5 hours SOT. On MM it was 5,5 hours. Please post your SOT and Battery lifes.

I am a moderate user with stock 7.0 E6553 Customized TR - No Root and Locked Bootloader ( I dont know how to unlock it . I don't have facebook and messenger app. I get 3h SOT. If I use greenify with aggressive doze, I take 4h SOT. But notice what I wrote, I don't use facebook and messenger. I use only opera mini, whatsapp, camera, calling and messaging. I disabled or uninstalled all other bloat apps.. My biggest battery drainer is "phone idle". I dont know how to prevent phone idle drain.
When I first flashed nougat, battery was better, but my SOT have decreased significantly for nowadays. I dont know he reason, maybe my battery need to be replaced...

Thanks for your reply. I hope that update in april will fix battery drain issue.

Don't you people have any apps running in background or anything? I have NEVER EVER seen any SoT close to 6 hours on any phone.
Removed my charger 7 hours ago, screen on is 34 minutes and battery at 71%.

34min and 71%? In my way, i lost 20% in 1 hour of usage...then i lost around 30% to get 2hours of SOT, and 30% to get 3H SOT...at 20% my Stamina mode turn on, and i can get 1 hour to get 4H SOT...

50%-2H SOT

This is something odd... I never seen any z series from z1 with 4hrs sot!! They hav given me a minimum of 5 hours!! And nw I.settled with z3+ (NOUGAT)with minimum 5 hours sot and max of 6 hrs!!
U can see in this ss!! A very near 3 hrs sot on 50% consumption of battery with aggressive usage!! And remaining 50% can easily make it to extra 3 hrs!! Since Stamina wil kick in at 15% i can get morethan 6 hrs sot (6 hr ~10-20 mins)

You manage to have a great power backup 6hrs sot is like double the sot i get on my z3+. I have attached the screenshot of my device, i can 19hrs remaining on your device for 50% battery remaining but in my mobile i can see 69% batteru remaining and 11 hrs left. Amd by the time i created the post that took hardly 5 mins i lost 5% of battery capacity. Pleaee check my screenshot attached. I can see good health of battery in service test. I dont know what's wrong with this mobile but this battery sucks. I always put my display at 0% brightness. I can see phone idle eating up my batteru. I habe put greenify aggressive doze, enabled auto hibernation. seems to be of no use.?
I hope u can help.
P.s: ihave reset the device twice but no use.

On my xperia Z3+ I got max 2 hours SOT with the data connection always ON and about 35-40% of backlight, is it normal?
