So I was running Bionix 1.3.1 and by the end of everyday, I have like ATLAEST 50% battery left.
And now that I've switched over to Trigger, it's only been 8 hrs and my batter is at like 59.
I mean it isn't that bad, but it doesn't compare at all to Bionix.
Yes, I've use the BatteryCalibration app on Trigger.
What modem are you using? Bionix 1.3.1 was KA7 I think while trigger is KB5. Those are fairly different modems with KB5 known for good data speed at the expense of battery life. Flash KA7 or whatever modem Bionix was using and see if it helps. Could also consider another kernel.
did you give it a couple of days?
The simple answer is that trigger is a amazingly awesome experience. You find yourself unable to put your phone down resulting in faster battery drain. I had the same problem.
Samsung Vibrant
Trigger 2.9.3
I can run the same bionix v 1.3.1 gaming all day and get 24hrs +. What modems/kernels are you using. And how can you know anything about a rom without giving it a week or so?

Of all the roms I ever used Axura hands down was best battery life and best GPS
You must be lucky on Bionix I never god very good battery life out of it
Trigger Is pretty good I get 14 hrs with mod to heavy use and still above 50%
You may have you phone set up in a way that is causing some drain. Look at the Gallery, that often is a culprit.
If you do not like battery drain then I would advise you to stay away from 2.3 roms they use more battery for sure.....
Try the Bali 1.8.4 Kernel. It really helped my battery life. I use the KB1 Modem because that is what the developer of Bali was using. Not sure if I should be using KB5 or not, but it seems to work well with Trigger 3.2 Final. Smooth, fast with good battery life.
Edit: Thanks to the link on the OP, I'm going to try KB5 modem and see if there is a difference.

I was using this same Rom and Kernel and only got 1600 for a quadrant score and never got 24hrs of use out of it. It was more like 6 to 7 hours. Can you elaborate more on how you got such good battery life and scores? I had SetCpu running the OC and used TB to freeze unnecessary bloat, but still no love.

He was not gaming all day...guaranteed.
Display time is what it's about, which many people fail to mention.
The most display time you'll get on average is probably anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours max on a basic 1500 mah battery. He probably got 24 hours with 3 to 4 hours display use. I assume with 6 to 7 hours of battery life, 4-5 of those are display?
Im running trigger 3.02 or something like that with the overstick 154 and wifi calling installed and running from8 to 5 and I get 3.4 to 4 % battery drain per hour. I feel that is really good with wifi calling. If I freeze wifi calling I drop to 2-3% per hour hour. I have my setup phone setup to sync all the time and 1min display time out. I normally get about a full day(24 hours) with wifi calling calling 8 hours with 1 hour or so of calls on both wifi and network and 30-40 txt meshours and 1-2 hours of gaming. Oh and the display is set to minimum. I felt those are pretty good numbers. But my fiancees nexus one on 2.3.4 gets 4 hours of non stop gaming and still has 20% battery left.

I'm currently using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3 with the Kernel that came with it, and I'm not too impressed with the battery - seems to be draining a lot when on stand by. Just curious on the best battery-saving Kernel out there that is stable and is great with battery percentages.
Try some of wildmonks UV kernels.
I'm also wondering about this. Im currently on kmobs #48 kernel. I have set cpu with profiles set up to under clock when screen is off. Anything else I could try. And no I don't want juice defender.

x2 i've been running 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710.zip on the latest nightlys and battery life has been very good
Just flashed the 1190mhz WildMonk's Kernel and it seems to be a little laggy, can't comment on the battery usage though (I will tomorrow).
I've been reading and people are saying >1190mhz is very stable, but I've been seeing that people are clocking it much lower than 1190mhz (at 1133mhz). I don't care about the speed, I just want my phone to last longer, and to not crash.
Should I flash the 1133 instead of the 1190?
2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 is extremely stable on CM6 & offers much better battery life than stock kernel.
I use it with GPRS/Wifi on full time, moderate browsing (about 1 hr), 20-25 SMS's sent, 50 SMS's received & around 1 hr of talk time. Leaves me with more than 30% juice even after 24 hrs.
To do better on battery life, avoid using the live wallpapers & use a black/dark
static wallpaper.
Cheers !

Battery life on latest CM Nightlies has been very impressive with the included kernel.
i saw him tweet this... whats CM nightlies?
Pershoot is number one, no question about it.

I have brightness at 100% full-time (Love it!), I have live wall papers 100% (Love it!) of the time and have 3g always with 2 Gmail accounts push via K-9.
GPS off, BT off. WiFi off.
I have CM6.0 with this kernel (1 month old version). It is OC, UV + Extra RAM with no HD(?).
I doubled my battery life on CM6 and very easy get 1 day out of it, almost never below 30% - from 7am to 11pm. I'm at 49% (midnight) with my average use.
If I stream radio, I drain about 15% per hour on 3g. I drain about 5% to read top 20 news on Engadget app (twice a day)
This is my second kernel from this developer. I used one with 2.1 and now with 2.2. I know I'm coming again for the new one when I feel I need to.
I do not limit my usage, as I WANT to kill my battery, but can't succeed.

this is the one i have gave a try and I am very impressed.
Is it just me? I really can't believe it is. I mean there isn't even 3G where I live so my phone is set to 2G permanently, yet I can't find a Froyo ROM to last even a day. Even with all my tweaks and minimalistic settings, no luck at all.
What has been your experience on any of the Froyo roms?
Anderdroids AOSPish is the first and only froyo rom I've flashed. I was running mostly either stock or bionix stuff prior to this. I'm now getting, by far, the best battery life I've experienced since buying my phone a few months back.
Maybe give it a try if you haven't already.
Same...with JI6 I get better battery life. Everyone else it seems like they get better battery life with 2.2
I am getting GREAT life with onyx r3.1. Screen shots attached. I went over 24 hours and still had 50% battery left. That was with light usage. I included display time to show that there was an hour and 42 minutes of "usage" and also included a systempanel shot showing that in standby, it has very little power consumption.
compared with my own usage, I get better life with Froyo. Mainly because of the google cloud for push notification for IM apps. before my IM app would drain the battery due to pulling.

Use this and your battery life more than doubles. It is very comfortable, rubberized coating, and the battery rocks. The door is quite thin considering and fits comfortably in the hand. They are also going to make custom clear protectors for the entire phone and have them up for sale within 2 weeks.

Same here. Flashed 12 yesterday and love it for everything EXCEPT the awful battery life.
Is there any other Froyo ROM that does not show text messages in the call log, because that's the biggest reason I am using Macnut 12 right now... ?
Ive been using the Odin Froy for almost a week and i get better battery life that stock JI6. I have yet to condition the battery so Im sure Ill get better after I do that. Ive had good luck so far with this.
it really does depend on the kernel you're using. I know TW for a lot of the newest releases uses a modified I9000 kernel, which causes battery drain, relatively speaking.
Check This out:
Yes, that is hr:mm. and my phone had been running for ~5 hours with only that much drop.

Eugene's Macnut R11 used the stock JK2 kernel and had amazing battery life. I just flashed back to it from R12 today. Right now the battery usage app is telling my I have 33 hours left as opposed to the 12-13 I it displayed with R12. There's something about the I9000 kernels that drains the battery while in sleep mode that nobody's been able to figure out yet.

Which rom are you running. Which kernal? I've been getting terrible battery life with v3.1 tw obsidian, by far the worst of all the roms I've tried. I'm barely getting 12-16 hours with light use. I was running fusion and getting excellent battery life.
Hey guys, I don't care if the rom is Sense or not. I just need the best rom for battery life. Or best rom/kernal without underclocking or sacrificing speed. All input is helpful guys. Thanks
Nobody? Man is this forum dying? 4 months ago, this would be 2 pages by now.
I just got 46 hours up, 5 hours awake on rEVOlution 2.1 with the stock .17 kernel with the stock battery
I've pulled over 32 hours on Virtuous Sense with the customer Virtuous kernel. Granted I also have a Seido 1750 maH battery, well worth the investment though.
EDIT: I had approximately 15% life left at that check in also, so I could have kept going. Next time I'll take a screen shot.

Excellent speed and battery life. Best quadrant scores I have had with any kernel. Even more impressive since it runs at stock speed.
Also pick up a 40% charge in less than an hour.

This one is best for me. I don't have to put my phone on the charger most days until I go to bed. If I ever use GPS in the car, I keep my phone charging while using it, with moderate use I can get by the whole day from 6 am till I go to bed.
I run Uncommon Sense 1.1 with SetCPU and JuiceDefender; I've been able to pull off up to 35 hours between charges with the stock battery and kernel.
Hey all right now I'm running geeknik's 1.2.3 UV kernel and I'm trying to maximize battery life. Heres what I've got going on:
I'm deodexed not running any ROM just removed all the bloat.
I've underclocked to 800mhz running conservative from SetCPU
I'm also running matted blue them.
Running D101 system.
My battery still seems to go down at a pretty fast pace even with all this. About 5% for every 30 min of light browsing, texting, and forum surfing. I've charged all the way to 100% and cleared the battery stats from CWM (I didn't see any confirmation, should I have??) So what should I do to get the best battery? TIA!!
I had that too. wipinh battery stats didnt do anything. Now I use the clean dj05 with stupidfast 1.5.4. Very good improvement imho
I'm getting the best battery life using JT's SuperClean and the stock kernel. Less than 1% per hour in standby, and the phone lasts 36+ hours with average use. I've tried other kernals (JT's non-voodoo and StupidFast), and neither provided any noticeable increase in performance while both reduced battery life considerably (no offense to the revs, just my experience).
Well after doing more test I'm sticking with the stock kernel. My battery is still draining about 10% for every hour.. not even doing anything. I appreciate the work of devs but when it doesn't work it doesn't work...
I would definitely follow ChrisDDD's advice. I put the exact same setup on my phone a week ago and its amazing. I took my phone off the charger at 3pm yesterday and its 1040pm over a day later with 65% left. Thats with heavy texting. Before i rooted and installed this rom and kernal i got a little under a day per charge. Just do the clean rom and the stable kernal (11/11).
Remember when you wipe battery stats, do it with a FULL charge, then let it run out to zero before you plug it back in. THEN check to see what kind of battery life you're getting.
I thought I would throw this out there just because I found it quite amazing after a year of tweaking the vibrant. I just decided to swap back from Simply Honey to a 2.2x rom because I was having issues with reboots while on the phone. I had been using Bi-Winning prior to installing SH-3.9 so I went back to that but this time I installed the Bali v1.8.8UV kernel after reading some tips. I'm getting 48 hour battery life on moderate use where I was getting 18-20 before. This Bali kernel is something else. I think this setup is a keeper.
you just put on bi-winning and bali or did you undervolt as well? settings would be great cause with a 48 hour battery thats enough to get me to go back to froyo haha especially now that netflix is on froyo as well

I just put bi-winning on it, rebooted, put bali on it. I'm trying to think of anything else I did but I can't. I installed this combo friday night and I thought it was a fluke or I had forgot that I had plugged it up sometime over the weekend when I woke up monday morning with 25% battery. I made it from tuesday morning @ 7:00 until just now with 40% left. I Just plugged it up and I'm going to make an effort to actually benchmark it this time as I don't believe it either. I also just put the same combo on my wife's vibrant to see what kind of resultes it gets.
Am I subconsciously plugging my phone into the charger?
Yep, I get similar results. Currently I'm on ZenDroid 2.0.1 with Bali 1.8.8UV and I'm sitting at 35% remaining and 48 hours since unplugged. Light-moderate use I guess but with some gaming, lots of texts, several 15-20min calls, and wifi on 24/7.
ECOTOX's DragonMODz ULP kernel performs very much the same as well. I have a hard time picking between the two.

Just wanted to add a testimonial to the OP since I'm running exactly the same thing. Just Bi-Winning and Bali 1.8.8UV, it already comes undervolted by -25 I believe and I'm getting similar results on battery life. Kernel and ROM go very well together and it's quick, responsive and very very smooth. I'm using it with ADW EX launcher by the way.
flashed both and so far so good, battery is a little better but nothing as significant as 48 hours, do I have to wait a day or 2 to let it settle in first? Cause I know when i was on cm7 they said let bali run for a day or 2 then after that youll notice the difference

Well, that's just plain wrong. I've been gaming through multiple episodes of "The Good Wife" with my family and my battery is down maybe 20%.
Now, 2 1/2 hours of an all white background on maximum brightness might kill your battery (flashlight apps), but not typical use.

I don't know exactly what "gaming through multiple episodes" means but a screen is a screen. There's no software affects the display's energy use. Like I said, the +/- depends on your brightness settings and exactly what you display on your screen. I challenge you to show me battery usage screen shot with more than 2.5 hr of display on time on a single charge (with stock battery). I don't doubt you can push 48hrs on a single charge, but chances are, the display on time is less than 3 hours
Does anybody have some screenies to prove it?

Well, you're in luck! I'm breaking in a new 1700mah battery and want to drain it down to 20% anyway. I'll do so with the screen on my default homepage instead of using the flashlight app. I'll run a stopwatch app in the background and get you some numbers. If you're right, I'll eat my hat!
Then again, since you said +/-, even if it lasts 72 hours, you're still right. It's just 2.5hrs +/- 69.5 hours
I'm the OP and for the last two days my battery has not been lasting nearly as long. Of course I have gone for light/moderate use to heavy use but also I'm seeing it chew through more battery when idle. I'm not sure what has changed to make this happen. I've kept wifi off. I don't think this had anything to do with it but it seemed to start using more battery as soon as I installed the google maps update but the battery profiler doesn't say anything about maps. Oh well...
Well, after 2hr30min, my battery is at 84%. Sure, it's a new battery, and the 84% is probably a little inaccurate, but I haven't stopped the test, so we'll see where it goes from there. Wifi, Bluetooth, and Data are on as well as several widgets on my homepage. I haven't done much with it except keep the screen on indefinitely and send/receive a few texts.
Anyway, the proof is in the pudding. Mmm... pudding...
