I have two Arias, one freshly rooted with the rooted stock ROM and one running attn1's FR008 flashed straight from the freshly rooted state. The only additional app installed is BattStatt, so I can easily monitor battery state. One battery is new, with only a few cycles (over about a week) and one battery is older, purchased in August.
Over the next few nights I will be doing an experiment. Both phones will be on, same settings for GPS, WiFi, Data, and Bluetooth. They will only have the displays set on about every hour or so to check battery states. The following night, the test will be done again, with the batteries swapped. I will then run the test again with WiFi on, with intermittant connections due to my work environment.
I expect to update this thread after each night's experiment.
The first night is an exception, I'm comparing my normal ROM (loaded with apps, widgets, and running Tasker) My first night has been interesting...one running freshly rooted is still 100% after 1.5 hours. The FR008 with many apps is down to 89% (note that this is the older battery). Perhaps at the 4 hour mark, I shall swap them. It would be nice to do this with 2 new batteries, but I have what I have.
This is being done to lay rest to the claim that one ROM gives better battery life over another. Seems like it is going to be conclusive if the first night is any indication. Perhaps we'll see what app is the culprit? (Widgets??Tasker??)
Phone calls?
Interesting article regarding battery life
Interesting experiment !
Just FYI - an provocative article :
Your Battery Gauge Is Lying To You:
Everything You Need To Know About Bump Charging
And Inconsistent Battery Drain
No phone calls on either. Just to be fair, since one is without a sim card, both of them have data turned off.
At the 4 hour mark, the original rooted ROM is still at 100% and the FR008 with mucho is at 82%. I have swapped batteries.
This gave me an opportunity to race bootups. The stock ROM booted up and was usable before the FR008 (with UOT cooked startup bootup animation) even got to the dancing droid. Makes me want to undo that to see if that is slowing down the bootup.
I am eager to do this full swing with clean ROMs tomorrow. I shall make a backup of the FR008 ROM then go back to the aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip
(found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783508&highlight=Original+ROM). I will then flash FR008, adding only a widget for easy monitoring of battery levels, BattStatt.
This experiment is going to have to wait. Part 2 of last night's experiment indicated that my older battery drains fast in either device/ROM. The article linked in this thread is good reading. Thanks for that info.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
Awesome idea
What a great idea - I hate the battery life on my Aria, and have tried multiple ROMs and multiple battery programs. I look forward to watching your progress with different settings and ongoing informational reports

I pretty much ran a similar test
I have two Aria phones - both the same age
one is stock 2.1
one is FR008
I set them both up the same - running HTC Sense -
I set the phones down (while I slept) for 8 hours
the stock phone drained 10%
the FR008 phone drained 43%
Did it twice
I know its not a 'real' test , but it does make you go hrmmmmmmmm.
If only you had a 3rd phone to throw CM into the mix! lol

You set the phone down for 8 hours and your phone drained 57% battery on idle for FR008? I find that very hard to believe because I have set my phone down over night and it drained 2% of my battery if even that. FR008 has shown the best battery life to me over the entire FR series. As of right now, my battery has been off charger for 6 hours, and Ive used the internet, wifi, and light texting with my battery at 100% still.
Edit: Im also using SetCPU...I dont know how much of a difference that would make, but there should be a difference. Try using SetCPU
FR008 is a battery drainer from hell. I just accept it.
SetCPU slows down my phone to epic proportions--no thanks.

you dont have to believe me - just telling you exactly what I have experienced
It wasnt just one night - I tested this for 3 nights straight before I made this post -
if you are running all those things for 6 hours and still show 100% - I would question that
Here is a note :
I downloaded the HK version from attn1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
and noticed a much better battery life
Those of you who are exerpiencing battery issues - might want to try that one out!

I said I have been off the charger for 6 hours. Not necessarily using the phone for 6 hours. I browsed the web for around half an hour and sent about 30 texts since Ive been off the charger. I just dont see how its possible for your phone to drain 57% while youre not using it. What happens when you start using it?

When i start using it - I love it
let me try this - i am currently at 100% -
its 8:17 AM PST
I will let it sit 'idle' on my desk at work - off charge.
in one hour - i estimate that it will have dropped 2% now (new ROM)
I will report back

Both were fully wiped prior to flashing
Both had LPP + DV + 3 widgets (mClock, Exteneded Controls, BattStat)
Both had turned off News/Stock sync
Both had 2 emails (Exchange, IMAP) set up
though not truely scientific - but nevertheless

Wow... to use your words "I just don't see how it's possible" that you are still at 100% after sending 30 texts and 30 minutes of web browsing. In my own experience with my 2 month old Aria, even on the stock Aria, that sounds unbelievable. Either that or your battery calibration is way off.
My HTC ARIA with FR008 drain 2% in 8 hours.

Hi everyone,
I've read in the update threads that battery life has improved for most since the update.
However, I feel that my battery is draining much quicker now. I re-did all the changes I made after the update (like removing Timescape widget + disconnecting from FB, switching off auto-sync etc). Didn't make much difference, though.
So, has anyone else experienced this? Also, has someone really checked if the camera bug is gone?
Regards,
cherryfish
Yes, the camera bug is gone. Personally tested that.
As for overall battery life, there's not much difference for me. Maybe just slight improvement in idling current. (idling battery drain is still about 1% or less per hour though... almost same as before update)
But I already have really good battery life before update... so maybe that's why I don't see much difference.
Non-rooted. Unbranded. No task killers.
that's weird, my arc's battery life is way better now, lt lasts 1 day 2 hours minimum.
my gf's been complaining about the battery becoming pretty hopeless....I have repaired, factory reset and uninstalled most apps and no respite...used to give 1 n a half days easily on mod-light usuage...now barely lasts a day...
need to figure it out..ill look more into it when I have time..
I have the same problem, looked good the first day now its ****, i can loose the last 20% in an hour while its just idling, today i was down to 9% after 12 hours, but i did use the speaker to listen to music for like 5 hours. Is there Anyone else that use the speaker alot that can tell me if it uses alot of juice?
Hi, I have got similar situation with u.
I have used titanium to backup and restore the system data and apps.
Is it the problem between old ver 2.3.2 system data and new ver 2.3.3 that caused the battery drain problem?
Battery life has doubled for me. I noticed that a lot of Sonys apps are no longer running in the background after flashiing the o2 2.3.3 over my Rogers rom.
Yep, battery life is way better over here too. I did a reset on it and set the phone up again pretty manually. Did sync my contacts etc. Works very well now.
Have 4 email accounts syncing, facebook and twitter syncing every hour and every 30 mins, do quite a bit web browsing on both 3g and wlan and have had w lan constantly on for quite a few hours now. Screen brightness set on 75%.
And now, after 15 hours and 33 min I have 66% battery left.
Battery life is really great & i am loving it. Those who have problems, i doubt there must be an app (if not more) causing problem. My brother got the battery problem on his Arc (battery drain 100 to 10% in 10 hours with moderate usage).. He uninstalled Handcent & started using Go SMS Pro & battery life is again good
For me, I was on work today... Wifi always on, Facbook auto update every hour, weather every hour, 1 hour 30 minutes music listening with bluetooth headset, 50-60 sms, 5 min phone call, half hour browser, played a game in 15 min.. and after 15 hours battery is till 60%... I am very happy
Waiting for the upgrade since camera makes battery die very soon.
Without camera usage battery performance is really good.
i did not transfer any userdata when i updated so taht cant be the problem, and i have the same apps as on 2.3.2 but i do suspect widgetlocker is eating up battery. I have also read that the wather app snowstorm that i have installed is a big batterydrainer but none of those shows up in my battery usage.
I see that the music player dubletwist is the biggest sinner except the screen but im assuming thats because i used the arc speaker for music at work.
But as you can see from the pictures i have drained the battery twice today, though the second charge was only up to something like 80%. And ive hardly used it after that(3-4 minute long calls and maybe 20 minutes of music using in-ear headphones and 30 min browsing). Something is wrong somewhere

My battery life has definitely improved it now must be about the best I have had on any Android device I have owned.
My battery life has gone from an average of 15 hours to an average of 31 hours with more usage. Im very pleased with the update best smart phone battery life ive ever had now:-D

I really don't know, but after a couple of reboots it seems better now... might be the reason.
Edit: I just installed Battery Monitor Widget and it says I it drains ~200-350mA atm. Wifi and 3G all off.
For me I defintely think the battery life is worse. I only ever use my phone on non-3g, all other connections off and got a nice 2 days easy out of it.
Since the update I would say I get just over a day (not sure if that is still good in other people's eyes) One of the killers seems to be the gallery which I presume is because of the new facebook update which pulls in your facebook pictures onto the phone....
Anyone find as well when you play games the phone gets really really hot i.e shadow guardians HD makes my phone just burn.
Easily upgraded today.
So far with using camera alot batt live is fine
and droping very slow on idle. Great!
Upgraded mine on Saturday and it's defo better on the battery. Wasn't using it at work and it was hardly using any power. Then started messing about with wifi and gps, etc, and it's still got plenty.
Haven't noticed many other differences though!!

I have to charge my phone 2 days and battery is now at 54%.
I never had such battery life before even with bloatware apps removed with that usage.
Imagine if i remove them now! (Though i wont since i cant root with gingerbreak anymore, hopefully someone will implement it on the next gingerbreak's update)
Agree with everyone else here.
Battery life has improved with upgrade.
Battery life much better for me 50%

much better bud...but im on a custom rom and my battery life is even better
3d-6h-4d8h All the time.
Email check every 5 min, twitter check 1h. wifi always on. Phone calls and little other usage.
12 hours before stable normal use. Arround 10 now with 2.3.4.
My battery life got much much worse. No custom roms, everything stock, UK non branded phone. Before upgrade (from 2.3.3.) battery lasted about 12 hrs and still 20% left, after update to 2.3.4. removed from charger at 8 am in the morning and 100% charged, after 10 hrs phone at 7%, same type usage as before, actually even little less.
I am very dissapointed with the battery life after upgrade.
Well this was my first day on the new software, will see tomorrow...
The custom rom is better for you battery life.

I've seen the same battery life drop on my unbranded UK phone since kies update to 2.3.4. It barely makes it through the day now. Hoping this gets resolved soon, as it seems I've taken one step forward and two steps back.

I agree, battery life is actually worse with the official 2.3.4 update. With 2.3.3 I got around 1d, 12h, now I'm getting less 6-12h than before, with some synching, push email, calls/sms and light browsing. I mostly use stock apps, except the browser (I prefer Opera). I'm not even playing games or anything. Sammy, I'm dissapoint...
At least now the interface is smoother, but overall I'm not happy with the update. Battery life is (or should be) sacred.
No complaints so far getting more juice left after longer period!
+1 for improved battery life. i didn't do any measurements. going from stock 2.3.3 to stock 2.3.4 and battery was noticeably better all day. on 2.3.3 it wasn't great, so i'm happy for any improvement.
Agreed, the idle times are insane. Before I was only able to pull a day with less than 20% battery remaining. Now I'm able to get over a day of battery now and still have 50% battery left-over. Wonder how a movie marathon would fair now, compared to before the update.
I'm on 2.3.5 and my battery is at 70% after a 12+ day. On 2.3.4 it wouldn't last anywhere near that. I was charging twice a day.

Battery life impressive on 2.3.5
I did my first full battery drain and managed to get 1d18h with quite a bit of use. Wifi on all the time. At least 2 hours of talking. I have dimmed my display but thats it.
Definitely better for me on 2.3.4 - no question about it.
Rather than compare my findings with other peoples the only fair thing to do is compare with the level of my 2.3.3 drain previous to updating. My usage is pretty like for like during the week so this makes for a fair comparison.
On 2.3.3. I could get a couple of days use out of it (a few hours of music, heavy twitter, frequent push gmail updates, camera use, calendar use, alarms etc) and be down to about 20% or so and that made it worth a recharge overnight. That was still ok for me and fair enough.
From a full charge yesterday morning and now into the afternoon on day 2 I still have 70% left. Even if I use some during what's left of the day I'm going to way better off under 2.3.4 - could probably run three days or more at this rate?
I guess it all depends how you use you phone and what parts you use most as to whether any update is better or worse. For me this is way better and I say well done to the update!
My phone is running Rom Kitchen KI4 2.3.4 ROM with CF-Root KI4 Kernal, since I took it off charge 1d 5h 19m, battery = 66%...
Android OS = 1h 19m
Display = 58m
Cell Standby = 1d 5h 19m
Phone Idle = 1d 4h 21m
Wifi On = 1d 5h 19m

Android System = 39sec / Stay Awake = 4m 50s

Facebook Synch every hour
Beautiful Widgets Synch every 4 hours
Gmail Push notifications on
MyBackyp Pro runs a schedule every day at 11:59 to backup SMS, MMS, Call Logs, Dictionary, Android Home and Settings.
Have received a few sms and emails, browsed the web with Dolphin HD and XDA forums via their app... looks good to me, on the previous 2.3.3 Stock ROM, It would be near dead by now...
On 2.3.3 (stock, NL), my battery was absolutely fine. I got between 2 and 6 days with light usage.
After upgrading to 2.3.4 it got worse. Hardly get 2 days now.
What's even worse is, that now my Android OS process takes 60%, which wasn't the case before. It seems as if 2.3.4 introduced the OS bug, instead of getting rid of it!
The only thing I changes more or less at the same time when I made the update (well, two days earlier actually), was to enable "Use wireless networks" under Location and security. But according to several forums this should not use significantly more battery.
Any ideas what is going on here?
I'm using AOKP (4.1.2) and I really love the rom itself, but I got the feeling that my battery is drained more when screen is on than usual.
With screen off I get good battery life - like 0.5 - 1% battery loss per hour with the standard samsung battery.
But when I surf over wifi for like 15 minutes the battery is drained like 10%. (I always use lowest brightness setting)
I know that the screen really eats through the battery, but this still seems rather high, doesn't it?

Welcome to Jelly Bean. :highfive:
That could be it - so far all jellybean roms I tested seemed to drain more power with screen on than ics or gb ever did.
And my problem is not related to no deep sleep or something keeping cpu alive - when screen is off everything feels normal.
I have reverted to rocket rom v12 cause that... JB is nice but this battery leak is not acceptable for me. Rr v12 is best solution definitelly.

What I found out so far: auto-rotate on is a battery drainer - with it on system_server constantly stays at like 5-10% cpu usage, android.system.ui also uses more CPU % with auto-rotate on, CONSTANTLY.
I've read this is due to a too short polling interval for the location sensors, if someone knows how to change that please let me know, but I'm also trying myself.
Use BetterBatteryStats, my friend, to check if there's a wakelock with some app.
battery drain
i am watching this thread, because i also encountered battery drain on JB. thought battery is gone. hence bought a new one. slightly better but still drains a lot. i think the battery drain is because of smart stay. smart stay uses front camera to decide whether you are looking at screen. so when screen is on, front camera is also on and hence the double drain. at least for last four hours, battery drain is in check, after i turned off smart stay. hope this is right and help all of you.
I have the same issue.. Infact I believe this damaged my Battery.. it was working fine until I was on Stock ICS. After I flashed JB LSZ, I noticed heavy battery drain as well as wierd battery status indications..
Just today I noticed that the battery is slightly bulged..
it might just be the wrong time, or something with the ROM..
my phone is just 15 months old now.
Well to be honest my battery life is "ok" - I do get like 1-2 days depending on usage. As I already said, when the phone is in standby mode it drains very few power like it should. (I do have flight mode on almost all the time too, because I don't use it as a phone, just for data when I need it)
But I got this feeling that the battery drains alot faster than I was used to on screen on time since I'm on jellybean. The thing is, that I've checked almost anything, with BetterBatterystats, BatteryMonitor Widget and Powertutor.
The drainers when screen is on are #1 the Screen and #2 Android-System using the CPU. I've already deactivated auto-rotate and the media-scanner, this helped a bit. The only process that's really showing up in System Load is "android.system.ui" at like 2-5% CPU.
Is this jellybean-wide or could this be due to the additional AOKP tweaks?
How can I break it further down to find what really causes the load? (beside Screen taking more energy on JB which would make no sense from a physical viewpoint, the cpu-usage of android.system.ui can only be the other cause of the battery drain right?)
I think this will be a good general discussion:
Whats the battery performance like for you guys on a 2 year old phone, i know after a while the battery begins to degrade which is why im trying to see if this is the case for everyone :laugh:
Also what rom, kernel, tweaks are you using to get your current battery
1.5 years ago I easily get 6-7 hours screen on with power saving mode, for now i only get 4-5 hours with the same usage with Hurricane rom.
this phone is not two years old......
Yeah this phone is not 2 years old yet.. but aside, I love the Note 2 and don't plan on upgrading. I have 6 batteries for it, plus a external charger, so I never have to plug my phone in again. As far as UI goes, yes, it's missing some features, especially on 4.1.2 (luckily I never did the update ), but its multitasking features are kick-ass. At least for beginners. I had to tweak things to my liking, thanks to Xposed, such as default expanded notifications, Multiwindow for all apps, and such, but now that I have so much time into tweaking this phone I have no reason to upgrade.
I hardly noticed any difference between the time I purchased and now. My phone is 18 months old now.
Then again it could b me using 2 batteries and rotating the battery between uses so it doesn't degrade that fast.
But then again I'm not on stock rom. I was using miui in the past. Then regret upgrading to 4.3 which I found it too big of a hassle to downgrade to use miui again (4.1) and used hurricane rom with note3 mod installed. I tried ditto kitkat beta and rc1 but always reverted back to hurricane after a day of usage.

I also de blotted my stock 4.3. Eitherway better battery than before.

I was stock rom and after numerous useless updates from samsung my battery wont last even 12 hours. I moved to xperized rom and even then battery backup was less. I have just switched to SuperBeam and I am seeing an improvement. will post detailed update later. right now getting near 14 hours with 3-4 hours screen time with wifi and bluetooth constantly on.

Hmm yeah thats what i get too here and there depends on if i play games or not which i rarely do! Im trying out Omega rom v27 4.4 atm and testing the battery for a couple of days :fingers-crossed:
really guys only 6-7 hours? I go at least 10-12 hours, yeah of course it depends how much you use it for example when I use 3G and Wifi Hotspot simultaneously the battery drains like 1 second for 1%. I recommend you guys to install WakeLock Detector app. This app will tell you which app drain your battery, and guys, remove the facebook app as soon as possible it was on the top of the list.

After a long time i cn see this result.Thanks to geekynoob.
I am on Stock 4.3 and last battery report attached
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
My battery life is steadily declining. Still getting by the day, but not easily like it previously was. Hopefully it'll last until the Note 4 hits.
Is there an app out there that can accurate measure the battery of your phone?
There are tons of battery app , there is one that comes with CleanMaster app hope that should be good as cleanmaster is good app
I get 2 hours and 30 min with screen on and 5 hours with the phone off the charger and on 3g and 2 hours with screen on and 4 hours on 4g with screen on with stock 4.3 and custom roms and i get 7 hours with the on wifi and 2 hours 30 min with the screen on that is with good signal and on Telstra.
