XWKJ2 battery wow - Galaxy S II General

Hi all
I just want to share what I discovered with kj2 full stock.
Yesterday i did full flashed xwkj2 leave it over night with data on and skype on for 8 hrs. Idle from 100% battery and ending up with 97% after 8hr idle. I have never seen my phone does this with any of the stock room.
So i though i'd share it with you guys

I think the latest Skype handles idle time much better, but I agree that KJ2 is improved even over KI8, particularly when using Speedmod's kernel, which has far better Wifi support.

The wow part is the fact that i use stock all the way. No custom kernel
What so ever.
Hope this rom will be serving for awhile

Kernel flashing ?s

I have the syndicate loaded ROM with xtreme kernel. V1.0.1
I noticed there is a newer version of the kernel. I'm am very much a noob so I need someone to tell me step by step, how do I flash the updated kernel?
Sent from my Epic 4G using Tapatalk
ok, figured it out
Any difference after the new kernel?
I am using the Syndicate ROM but the extreme kernel was too buggy for me ( too many fc's) even after mutiple wipes. I went to the Fluffkernel and it is awesome, I am using the battery saving one and I am still at 50% at the end of the day.

So far I notice an amazing battery life since upgrading, 74% after 12 hours with minimal usage (6 hours asleep). Before, I would lose about 40 percent with 6 hours sleep.

I love galnet v5.2

But the battery drain isn't worth all the good things this rom has to offer. So sad to know I couldn't use my phone for long if this rom remained.

Ditto. I love MiUi but the battery drain makes it impossible to live with it.

Its like having the fastest and best looking car but you only to drive it for 5 mins before buying more gas. I'm thinking of buying a battery pack just to get normal usage out of this rom. Its about 30% below where I'm usually at and I haven't been doing much.

Use the official miui build from MIUIAndroid.com. I lose 1% battery an hour on that rom.

Okay ill give this a shot and see how well it works.
I am using GalnetMIUI v6 and I don't have any battery drain. With some txts, calls , bit gaming and surfing I can get about 30+ hours of battery.

I can totally confirm this. Only thing i'm missing now on MIUI is my language, but as this rom is more than perfect compared to Samsung rom i will stay with this. I've got some random reboots in 24 hours i flashed this but it's still good!

Battery Life

Hi there, we've had multiple threads in the past on battery life. It will always vary, and I don't want it to get too complex. I only want to keep it simple. So post:
Your Rom, How many hours you got on a full charge, do post any tweaks or clocking/volting.
I'll start.
EL30 Stock Tar. 14Hrs 6m. 3G Turbocharger Script. Stock Clocking, Stock Voltage.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm actually still using the Rom that Marcusant recently removed due to possible conflict of interest...AOKP victory build 27. I've gotten 36hrs with 39% battery left as I'm typing this. That's with light to moderate usage using included tweaks and Rom Tool box's tweaks. Great work Marcusant...it's a shame you didn't stick with Rom itself.

Abysmal battery life

Hello,
The battery on my S3 is driving me crazy. I originally had an S3 and went to the Note II, but reverted back to another S3 because I couldn't stand the size of the Note. Anyway, this S3's battery is really bad - I barely use it and it drains 5% an hour, sometimes more. I've tried everything, location is turned off, social media is all turned off I just update it manually... I've attached some screenshots. it was 50% and dropped to 34% in just 2 hours and a half, I only used it for 2 minutes during that time according to the Screen data.
Any thoughts, suggestions or miracle solutions are appreciated.
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Seriously try another ROM dude

I've tried turning it on and off, tried wiping data.... Forgot to mention I'm running Sotmax Ultimate Stock ROM v8 w/ Yank555 v2.7 kernel. Everybody's reporting great battery life with the setup, can't say the same.

I used to have abysmal battery life too, on LK4 stock till I discovered that several stock apps were the culprits. I disabled them and now my battery is almost on par with how it was when running ICS.
Try disabling the below apps. If it works well and good. If not, you've got to investigate what's happening.

Ahlan.
Phone rooted. Since I installed the new JB 4.1.2 my battery live is really good : for example 48% remaining after 17 hours of use with 56 mns calls etc... and I keep everything working (WiFi, Bluetooth and all apps)
Updates from facebook and nova launcher seem to be your worst enemy

Try this. Im using Sotmax as well but with perseus kernel. In stweaks I under volted the CPU by -75mv and gpu by -50mv. Super smooth and completely stable.
I tried other kernels and I just couldn't get good battery life. I'm getting about 14 hours of solid use. Screen on of about 3.5 hours. I used to only get 7-8 hours.
The other thing I did was freeze the following which constantly run in background.
Video Hub
Software Update
SSuggest
Samsung Push Service (for Sammy app updates)
Make sure you remove your Samsung account. It constantly runs in background.
Wifi advanced settings change Wifi policy to only when charging. I find Wifi drains this phone fast.
I highly recommend resetting the battery levels by typing *#0228#
Then choose quick start. Unlock the phone and your battery will show the actual levels. Charge to 100%
Finally, I matched the ril with the modem included with this rom. Install the app getril and download the proper ril and install.
Hope this helps!

New malaysia 4.1.2 firmware having great battery performance.

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

This is True, most People getting 10hrs screen time with 3days on are not using 3g data and no sync and so on, everything is depending on how you use your Phone even when you don't use it.

My battery life went down after the update, all else being equal. Would a factory reset really help? I'd have to do one anyways to revert I guess.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

But i never experienced ota or kies ugrade.
But in other way, 99% me will perform full wipe everytime install new custom rom.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.
:good:

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.
