I have been using cooked roms on my blackstone for a while now. However, my concern from the beginning has been that these are battery drainer.
I bought it second hand and it had call time of around 60 Hours both IN and OUT.
On 6.1, I used internet very little, but I used to call a lot and listen to music as well for about 2-3 hours a day. In that OS, it used to go up to 3 days.
Then I came into the world of xda-developers and things changed . The battery didn't last for more than a day and a half with the usage I mentioned above. That prompted me to buy new battery.
Since then, On cooked ROM's, I leave my email check for every 15 minutes and weather to an hour. With this usage it hardly last for 2 days on the new battery and I hardly make a call!!
If I make calls, use Opera, it would die in literally half a day.
Can people share their experiences about battery life and cooked roms etc???
I really dont want to go back to 6.1 and I want to keep using 6.5 but the battery issues are really annoying now.
I have used pretty much all the ROM's (Energy, PQD, XannyTech, KWBR, blackStonehenge) with same usage and all of them have yielded same results so it's not ROM based...
Cheers.
I'm using the last ROM that Dutty made for us. With 6 email accounts checking every 15 minutes and an Outlook push account, blue tooth enabled and sometimes an hour of phone use. My phone can't go more than 4 hours on a charge.
Thanks for the heads up. In a few hours I´m getting my own Blackstone with a stock OS. I was already set to change the ROM but with this post will have to delay it a bit until a fix can be found.
Oh, it wasn't that bad at first, it could go a full day. It's just as you add programs and then remove them things get progressively worse. I really need to flash it again to clean it up but I hate having to set everything up again. I'm not a habitual flasher

Luckily, I have found one.
All you need to do is stop using your mobile on 3G.
I have tested it on Energy ROM. With 3G switched on, it lost around 25% of charge in a day on email check for every 15 min and weather for half hour. without any calls.
With 3G switched off and the rest of settings, the charge had only gone down by 12% and that included a couple of calls.
To be honest, I dont think you really need 3G unless you are using internet a lot. Even then, you may switch it on and switch it back off.
I will be trying the new MaxSense UI as well to see whether that helps the battery or not!!
Hello, I have been installing android builds on my HD2 for months now, and have to say the recent development has really left me with a great android phone.
One problem I find I have consistently is that I can never get the kind of battery usage others speak of. Mine trends at 350mA right now which seems wrong cause my battery life isnt THAT bad. and I have never had a build thats had better than 10%->hour.
I'm using ShubCRAFT 2.0 with the hastarian r8 kernel, chunkydroid ROM and 02.12 something radio, i also have an australian HD2.
I keep my screen quite dim, wifi and bluetooth off, no over or underclock (since r8 doesnt support it), no auto task killer.
And while I'm at it my wifi tethering should work based on my build and kernel but every time i check it it says "Error" and third party apps are a no go either.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Also to all the devs, I love you, I want to carry your children.
i always make setcpu, max 619mhz min 254, screen off: max & min 254, auto task killer when screen off and i disable all auto sync, like facebook gmail etc.... im getting acceptable result, around 2 days with normal use

I had just finished reading that list and forgot to try the 3sec. boot which helped. I'm at 10mA now it makes no mention of the wifi tethering problem, any idea on the subject??
EDIT: It flew back up to 200+ after 5 minutes and hasnt gone back down since.
I get 14 Hours standby, but the phone is 4 hours aktivate! I use also chuckydroid. My radio rom is 2.12 and I use Froyostone series !

Heya,
My Iconia Tab A500 battery goes very quickly, im not even use it much, Im just useing it for 2 hours while im in Uni that's it but still goes very quickly and my front facing camera is just too dark and blurry.
Plz help me out.
Thanks
What apps you running? Is GPS on all the time? You running a different rom or kernel? I don't know what I could do on mine to kill the battery in 2hrs.
Settings - Apps - What process are running?
I test out ROMs while I'm asleep. Go to bed at 100% with tablet on (screen off), wake up and check in 8-10 hours
Only 2 or 3 ROMS so far will be at 99% or 98%.
Most others, even STOCK ones go down to 70-80%. when I see that, I stay away from (re-flash to another)
* Note: if you do the same things for each ROM, you know it's a accurate comparison.
Currently using THOR's ICS v80.
from fresh install (Yes i know it's plain -no bloatware)...
Only 4 Process running.
RAM 180 MB used - 545MB Free (memory -not storage)
even with 25 apps added my RAM is between 205-225 Used - 500-520 Free
Battery Life is OVERWhelming!
STOCK HB starts at about 325 MB - 400MB used (with NEW OS just installed -no custom apps)
Does your battery only last 2 hours? I couldn't kill my battery in 2 hours no matter how hard I try....
Perhaps you have some app that is causing issues, or you have a faulty battery? Do you have a lot of apps open at once? How is your screen brightness? Bluetooth?
I think it cause of GPS and i got more then 80 apps in my tablet
Dude, you go to sleep with tab at 100%. You wake 8-10 hours later and it's at 90-98% (more or less)
And you want to complain???
Android does not sleep. You still have things running that need to run. Clocks, Notification checks, etc. Hell, even the system doesn't sleep as it HAS to do certain things.
When you compare Stock Roms against Custom Roms, a lot of custom roms have custom kernels which will underclock and undervolt the system board, which is why battery power is much better.
If it's using too much battery when you actively use it, it's because you have too many things happening all the time. I have a crapload of things running, including a 3d launcher, and I get about 5 or 7 hrs if I leave it active all the time.

And these 80 apps are probably doing all sorts of active synch's and notifications, gps active and such?
Go to each app, and check settings for them, and turn that stuff off, or set them to a more reasonable level, like every 4 hrs.

Is 180Mb Ram used with nothing installed supposed to be good"?
I get 106Mb Ram used with 45 apps installed, so I'm thinking maybe not?
Way around it
I flashed mine with CWM, and a stock acer rom with root and busybox built in, and got cpu tuner, and when you turn the screen off it saves battery, you can adjust the governor and power profiles and everything, just need root access, works well for me
Could people who have managed more than 10 hours or 15 hours on their galaxy s3 post screen shots of their battery stats and include information of what special settings they used, what kernels and Rom they used and what battery you used and what they used their phones for like apps and games so people like me who only manage to get 6 hours out of their s3's can hopefully get more out of their phones.
(You don't have to say exactly what games or apps just that you used some)
Think it would be very helpful

Defiantly get more than that between recharges.
Stock deodexed Wannam ROM, with the below configuration basically.
I removed most Samsung stuff,
no S-voice (Google Now is enough), Kies (including kiesexe), tracking services, remote controls etc.
Look for the list of unneeded services found here somewhere and freeze what you don't use.
Your going to have to do that with most ROM's, even light editions don't remove everything.
Other tips, freeze Facebook when not used or use 'Fast for Facebook' instead.Too many others tips to mention they can all be found here but.
I leave Wi-Fi, GPS and Google services on here. Plus pesky Facebook (for the calendar sync). But am happy with battery so far...
Battery is now 68%, Screen time 56%
7.45hrs on battery.. No calls, just Tune in radio, YouTube, XDA, Firefox etc over WiFi. GPS turns on hourly for weather, along with syncing for 4 email accounts, Facebook, Twitter and G+.
Facebook, Twitter are system syncs NOT application syncs. I use Android Pro Widgets to display what the system syncs and only open those two apps when needed..

Thanks, I've tried only one Rom which was omega but that really didn't help my battery and tried the phenomenal extreme and shiyah kernels (found the explanation of dual booting a bit confusing)
Don't like the whole thing about wiping my memory for Rom installation as I've done a nandroid backup which backs up the state so if I install a Rom have to add everything back (not tried titanium backup yet though, might be the answer)
I don't have a facebook app as usually use chrome to visit it and don't really use s voice and haven't really used Google now as my battery seems to just drain by pressing buttons and if I play a game for even a short time my battery seems to drain 20%
Don't have GPS or syncs or any location settings on as thought that would drain battery and tried battery saving apps but they never gave my battery a better life.
I'll try removing some bloatware though as that might help a lot

(again, I'm not sure if these are what they should be - I've rooted my phone and put various (stock) ROMs on it and as far as I know I'm using the official UK BTU ROM because that's the latest one I attempted to install - although I've played around with the firmwares on all three of the Galaxy S devices I've had (S, SII and SIII) I'm still not very aware of all the functions of the various bits and pieces in ROMs and how they all go together!)
I practically always have Wi-Fi on, and I'm constantly checking facebook, emails, the odd web page, other social apps etc.
Phone usually goes through the full day without needing to be recharged and I tend to stick it on to recharge when I go to bed.
I am on stock and use green power premium. I get 1d16h with 100min call time, listening to FM radio tuner, occasional flip board and Gmail. I do not use Facebook but have outlook configured. I am sure I will get more battery life as I had rebooted my device and un/installed a few apps while trying out and spent a lot of time trying to setup Tasker which I will not be doing on a regular day.

Two good apps that could help to reduce battery usage are Tasker and Juice Defender. They can schedule turn on time for wifi/data for syncing, rather than having them on when phone is idle

I've got juice defender but yet to master it as it seems to be doing all sorts.
I put it on aggressive and it changes settings for WiFi itself and other things that I don't want it to do and now it's put itself back to balanced and it really hasn't done anything for my battery other than annoying me and playing games.
Think I'll uninstall it cause it ain't really helping me

I just read that after installing a new Rom or buying new battery the best thing to do is re callibrate your battery from 100 to 0% maybe for this after factory resetting phone not sure about installing Roms though but I rememner after installing a rom the battery seemed worse.
I also remember having better battery the first having my phone after callibrating it so trying that might be a good option.
Anyway that's my input.

You can wipe it from recovery (Delete battery stats option), you can install an app to that for you or you can delete the batterystats.bin file located in /data/system/ folder. You need root for all three methods and it is recommended to do it on a fully charged battery.
Calibrating battery means that you delete the batterystats.bin log file so you get fresh stats in the battery log in setting (im not sure if the option in recovery does anything more) so if you are not experiencing weird battery behavior (like phone shutting down at 30% or not fully charging) than this might hele other than that I don't think there is any benefit. But it is up to you if you want to try and see for yourself.

Also by letting your battery die from 100%, only have to do this first time though as you can then just charge your battery when you want an extra boost before you're going out.
I've found that after installing a new Rom or factory reset and just charging my phone from half way or at 30% my battery drains quickly from 100%

I did read somewhere it maybe has to do with roaming or WiFi.
Not sure what phone you have or what Rom or mod you're using as you have 4.1.2 jellybean which I'm guessing has only been released to nexus.
Sorry can't be more help other than check your applications and see what processes are running and what is keeping your phone awake.
It can even be a widget or launcher, maybe someone else can be more helpful.

Yeah, I also read that it could be wifi, have tested without wifi now for a couple of hours, not much difference. But i will give it a few more charge cycles to see if it gets better.

I would go back to stock Rom and kernel if I was you to see if there's a difference, there are many reporting this with cm roms and open source roms or it could be the launcher you are using.

hi guys first of all i apologize for this post not having detailed info such as ss from BBS,GSAM and WLD and will post them later !!
and as always i guess with most battery related problems it happened suddenly and i really mean suddenly the day before yesterday everything was perfectly fine and i didn't have that ridiculous battery drain !!
i woke up yesterday only to find out that Android OS is taking more than 50% of battery usage with a drain like 20% over night
restarted many times and by the end of the day i installed GSAM and WLD (wakelock detector)
froze most of apps including the ones i installed recently but i didn't install that battery hog apps (nothing unusual) and also they didn't appear in partial wakelocks section of BBS
btw i don't use any fake battery extender tools or memory boosters it's just Greenify
i observed that sometimes when i unlock my device (i use knock code btw if that matter!!) wifi gets disconnected and reconnect again (wifi icon disappear and re-appear again in 3 secs or so)
i'll upload ss in a couple of mins
thank you
Edit: SS Added
and notice how it drained 5% in just 40 mins (20 mins SOT) !!!

i did tot reinstall and see how things go !!
sadly nothing changed and wifi still eats huge amount of battery idk how did this happen
well i'll update thread if anything changed
peace out guys
I had the same problem with battery drain(although not as severe) along with huge data consumption when using a significantly modified(i.e. heavy debloat and ota disabled) rooted stock rom. I tried a few customs roms and dorimanx kernel(not at the same time), and even though battery drain wasn't as bad, they were are waaaay to buggy to be used everyday(especially the dorimanx kernel, it's really bad).
Just last week I tot back to KK and ota updated to the latest LP rom(lost root unfortunately). Then I uninstalled/disabled every app I could/needed. Everything is very fast, smooth, and stable again. I now lose 1-2% every 8hrs in standby with syncing and wifi/data enabled, bluetooth and nfc disabled. I regularly get 5-6hrs sot over 48hrs with moderate use and brightness on auto.
I do have a new battery though - my old one( came with my "refurbished" phone from freedompop) gave me 2-3hrs of sot - but that was when I first got it and before I started modifying anything.

I now lose 1-2% every 8hrs in standby with syncing and wifi/data enabled, bluetooth and nfc disabled. I regularly get 5-6hrs sot over 48hrs with moderate use and brightness on auto.
I do have a new battery though - my old one( came with my "refurbished" phone from freedompop) gave me 2-3hrs of sot - but that was when I first got it and before I started modifying anything.

How is dorimanx kernel bad? How many user downloads he has,lots and lots then are we thousands of user wrong using a bad kernel, come on . Maybe it didnt work for you. But out of those thousands of users cant be wrong. If it was that bad no one would download. Just saying , you should just say it didnt work for you.

Can you tell us what app have you uninstalled and disable ?
What have you debloat ?
Thank you very much
My G2 (vs980) has also been suffering from a sudden battery drain. Android OS and Android System seem to be the problem. They are now second and third on the list of battery usage, after the screen. Before now, they were never that high on the list. I noticed this last weekend, when I kdz to the latest update for the vs980, which is 3AA. After noticing this, I flashed the xceed kernel, then cloudy with dorimanx kernel, and the battery drain continued. I even kdz back to kitkat, still the same, then I flashed AICP 11, and still the same battery drain by Android OS and system. Finally, I restored a backup of stock lollipop 39A but, the issue continued so I turned on airplane mode and it seems to help a bit. I still notice battery life isn't the same as before. The os and system still drain more than usual even on airplane mode.
Kind of glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. I don't think I need a new battery, since I bought the phone new in April 2015 from Bestbuy.
Also Gsam, shows the temperature of phone between 80°-90°F, where before it would be in the low to mid 70s. One time, it even got up to 104°F, funny thing is, it doesn't even feel that hot in my hand.
Hopefully, we can find out what's causing this because I really liked the battery life on this phone. Even when people complained about the battery life being worse on 5.0.2, I was pretty happy with it. All my previous phones can't compare to the g2. Now I feel like upgrading though lol.

When I tried the version that was out a month or two ago it wasn't nearly as smooth as stock, even after conservatively messing with the kernel app settings. The worst was that it also cut out tethering and my flashlight when the screen shut off. Maybe the recent updates have fixed some of the issues, but I doubt it. Could be that he doesn't have access to the sprint variant which I have...
Either way, just because 'thousands' of people use it doesn't necessarily mean that it's good - 99.9% of those users have no idea how to code or how a kernel is written. Their knowledge goes as far as following picture guides online - which a 5 years old could do. Just look at the most recent change log - those 'fixes' were to glaringly huge problems that shouldn't have been made in the first place and people were blissfully using it the whole time. Think about how many thousands of other bugs their must be. Not to mention hacking up code made by professionals at huge companies could lead to many other problems. Obliviously the stock kernel has bugs as well, but it works and is fast and stable so I see no need for using a hacked together kernel made by one amateur that doesn't even have my version of the phone to test it on. I wanted it to be good - which Is why I went to the trouble of installing it, but it's definitely NOT.

I uninstalled ALL of the stock apps that can be uninstalled. The ones I disabled are aosp keyboard, app updates, browser, calendar, cloud print, favorite contact widget, google play books, games, movies & tv, newstand, google+, lg voice command speech pack, music, music(the widget - it always runs in the background even without being on the homescreen), notebook, polaris viewer, quicktranslator, swype, talkback, voice command. I would have liked to disable a few more but I'm not rooted so I couldn't.
I use nearly all of the google products like chrome,gmail, calendar, docs, keep, music, photos, news and weather,translate,etc...so having the stock lg ones enabled was redundant. I also only have the bare minimum of installed apps that I need. Nearly all of them are made my major corporations i.e Chase, BofA, ebay, paypal, freedompop, microsoft, swiftkey etc. I have NO games or any small apps that need a ton of permissions. The only small apps are feedly, print hammermill, privacy flashlight(240kb, no ads, no permissions) and bubble level(180kb, no ads, no permissions).
I also go through every settings in every app to make sure it's what I want. And I restart my phone every time I take it off the charger. IMO having a clean and no frills system that is set correctly is the key to performance and battery life.
I just want want to clarify that I average 4-5hrs per 1% in standby since it doesn't seem to hold as well as it gets closer to 0%.
theres this app that have lots of info on battery..
thx guys for adding your experience
i hoped moded kernels would've reduced that amount as they should have necessary drivers for wifi which was somehow got messed up but from your reply i guess i've to look somewhere else
idk how to put this, well this isn't a solution at all i actually didn't start working on it yet just thought to share what i found so far !!
so it's just a reference for any one whose luck was bad enough to have a wakelock like that !
1st of all in most cases neither the device nor it's battery are at fault *you need to understand that*
faulty battery doesn't show up kernel related wakelocks instead they drain without a reason so i hope ppl stop accusing battery in every battery drain thread!
2nd after understanding that you'll have to deal with the environment your phone is used in
to put it simple it's your router and all devices in your current network !! (idk though why not all devices get affected by that or why it just started now, tough luck yea)
those threads may help

what i'll try to do is add an old access point to my router and connect my phone to it as i don't have a replacement router right now!!
i'll let you know if things were improved !
hey guys
i thought to share what i did so far and before i go on there is a bad news and a good news !!
i would start with the bad news first !
-no rom could solve this issue so you don't really need to format everything and start from scratch especially if you didn't mess around too much and you found it started suddenly like here, i've tried couple of roms including latest CM13 build it wasn't that bad but it didn't solve the drain that much either !!
-now some ppl may see this bad and some may don't care (which means good!!) google services are the ones responsible for this drain
well man you didn't come up with anything new and i see you've got a problem getting straight to the point besides you talk too much
i'm sorry
now you have to sacrifice your google services background sync including "GCM" if you are using any services similar to pushbullet or notification mirroring you'd understand why it's important
anyway if you are good with that you may install and yea it works with latest google play services
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix
and do as instructions (and believe it'll work if you did steps right)
if you prefer manual way then you'll need "app ops xposed module" and deactivate every "wake up" permission from google services
this guide may help but remember we don't have tools natively in our roms so don't bother downloading "shortcut maker" and go through your settings app to find "privacy guard" or "app ops" we don't have those natively like them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
i'll share some ss from stock battery stats
i'm sorry for my long post and i hope it'll help someone with same issue
idk if it solved issue completely but things are stabilized a lot now and i just lost 1% over night not 20% or 30% like before !!
and i'm using lollipop now so i guess it's not that bad for what i heard about bad lollipop battery since it's my first time trying it !!
and btw real SOT should be +40 mins so the real SOT is 2H-47M cuz i restarted my phone to apply that fix and for some reason battery stats doesn't stick between reboots !!
if anyone interested in trying that rom it's for D800 only btw and thx to @Swetnes for his work rom feels pretty stable and solid :good:
