superclean3 w/ kgb kernel is a good setup. Start with deadline/ondemand, oc 1200mhz and uv -50 across the board. Although In my honest opinion AOKP glitched m-5 is the end all of roms for this device. I consistently net 30+hrs battery life with 4hrs screen on time...not to mention its fast, stable, and oh yea it's Ice Cream Sandwich baby!lol

no need to try the other roms, try aokp first. ics runs better on the fascinate than it does on the galaxy nexus.

I'm on the stock battery, and I'll usually get just under two days with light usage. To be clear, I used to get 10 to 12 hours on stock. Things improved dramatically on debloated stock, SC3, and TSM Res, but AOKP is tops.
For comparison, my average phone use on a working day is~
-Gtalk back and forth a dozen times or so
-A few SMSs, back and forth
-Five or ten minutes of calling at most (avoiding those brain tumors, ya know)
-Ignoring two or three calls and then listening to the messages on GV
-Ten or fifteen minutes of some mindless game
-Use Epocrates app three or four times, leaving it running in the background for 6 to 8 hours
-Gmail set to push, usually receive and respond to one or two per day
-Hotmail checks every 30 minutes, pulls in a ton of junk, I read and delete once or twice a day
-One Android Weather widget that updates every 30 minutes
-Check Gtasks to-do list once or twice a day, modify it and sync it
-Maybe a few minutes of web surfing
I'm not sure if it truly makes a difference, but I have a ritual whereby I always flash new ROMs on a full charge. I then run the battery down to nothing. I fully charge it with the phone off. Once it's full, I unplug the charger and then plug it in again to "top it off." I'm sure this is bad for the battery in the long run, but it seems to make the phone get the most out of it for now. When the battery dies, I'll cough up the $20 to get the one Droidstyle is using. It may even be $10 by the time I need it.
to OP, I sent you a PM, and replying here.
I am selling my fascinate listed in my other thread. PM me for details if you are still interested.

Make sure you use the glitched exynos build for extra RAM and lots of other fixes and features.
And ICS runs like a dream on the fascinate. The only thing that isn't perfect is the speaker phone and with a little tweaking it works well enough for almost all uses.

I have been dabating wether or not to flash a froyo rom and modem. I am currently using ee with phoenix kernel and loving the battery life i get out of it. I have searched the threads but not to much pertaining the the battery life of froyo as there is no kernels yet, most replies to battery life on froyo are a simple its good or i get good battery life. I Wa wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with froyo roms. battery life is the 1st on my list of importance so some with respectable performance would be nice to know so i could make my first froyo jump. Thanks in advance.
I've been on it for a few days now (DK17). I don't use any task manager, or juice defender or anything like that. I have a start-up manager (autoruns) and thats it. I unplugged my phone yesterday at 10:30am and 12 hours later I still had 40-45% remaining after some moderate use... angry birds, asphalt and web browsing mainly.
Hope that helps!
I just flashed 2.2 and used it all day at work for texting, calling, facebook and web browsing and after 9 hours at work i had just under 80% battery life left.
If you are after battery life, then stay on 2.1. I have 4 backup batteries and didn't mind going to 2.2, but I did have a considerable battery life decrease. I find myself changing batteries atleast once a day with these beta 2.2 releases. Recently I haven't noticed it as much, but I think that is due to my getting used to the routine of changing batts every 6-8 hours depending on use.
I really do enjoy the perks of 2.2 though. Flash player with Hulu is awesome, faster phone than 2.1, and the developers are doing a great job of getting some custom themes integrated right now, which makes it not only run great, but look awesome.

I'd stay with 2.1 for now. My phone took a serious performance hit going to 2.2... something is wrong with that kernel. Not optimized yet maybe?

I don't know about you guys, but I am using ACS's Froyo build and my Epic has never had better battery life. By a large margin.
It seems the latest froyo release has been outstanding in terms of battery life. If you're looking for battery efficiency, definitely go with a froyo rom. If you're looking for performance, go with eclair. All in all however, froyo roms are fairly snappy especially considering they are at stock speeds. Can't wait for battery life increases once froyo roms get UV'd.
EDIT: on second thought, I'd have to recommend froyo either way. The improved web browser performance + flash as well as froyo gapps alone make the jump worth it. There's really no 'lag' to speak of on froyo roms... merely, the phone just seems faster on eclair switching between apps and loading/closing them.
I'm using epic experience 2.0(froyo) and my epic has never performed better. Especially gps locks in like 2-3 seconds even without wireless location check marked. Very fast and smooth. Probably just as fast if not faster than 2.1 overclocked to 1.2. For me it seems anyway. Way worth it in my opinion.

Honest to God I'll never understand comments such as these. If battery life is the most important thing then why the hell did you buy the most power hungry phone? You bought it for performance didn't you???? Performance and battery life are polar opposites. Much like horsepower and fuel economy.
Let me save you some suspense... you'll never get more than a day out of this phone. At least not if you actually use the damn thing. If you travel, take a car charger. If you are in the office, have a charger with you. If your job requires you to be away from power then bring an external battery. The phone lasts a normal work day between charges so install 2.2 and enjoy your phone for what it is... a powerhouse!
Btw, the battery life seems pretty good in comparison to stock 2.1.
Or u can buy one of the double or more life batteries for $100 that comes with a modified battery cover to fit the extended battery, then couple it with a kickass kernel (phoenix) and have the best of both worlds

Hey guys,
I am thinking of purchasing a certified used Fascinate to a) have another phone to play with and b) lock myself into the unlimited data plan before VZW cuts me off this summer (i am month to month right now.)
is it a good phone? i know the screen is brilliant. how is the battery life? i have a Dinc and it cant be worse than that. how is the dev community? is cm7 available?
any thoughts or opinions would be great.. thanks.
I think its a great phone and we have a great dev community. However, it won't help you lock in unlimited. As soon as anyone upgrades to a lte phone you'll be forced to get a new plan. That's what happened when 3g came out and it will happen with 4g on all big carriers. I.e. at&t peeps will lose their grandfather clause too with lte. Sucks but its how they work.

Punk.Kaos is working on a CM7 build currently. He has an alpha posted in the dev section, and many people (including myself) are salivating for his next release.

i have no plans to upgrade to a 4g phone at this time, at least not through verizon. i am only looking to secure my $29.99 unlimited data for the time being.
Verizon hates me; Its an argument every time I get a new phone, but I insist on keeping my exisiting plan.
Im paying Alltell rates from a plan 4 years old. To get the exact same service branded 'Verizon', Id have to pay $25 more a month for two phones.
Its all a game. If you like your plan after your contract, they cant force you to change unless you go to LTE or something that isnt supported on your current plan.
it's a great phone! lots of potential, and, if you read everything you can in the fascinate forums here, you will learn a lot. the screen was what made me choose it over the droid x. i don't regret it at all.
Battery and Screen have to go to the fascinate but if your looking at ROMs I would stick with the DINC. There is no groundbreaking or impressive ROM development out here for the fascinate. So you wont see a fully functional Ultimate Droid, MIUI, or CM ROM. Who knows if there will ever be innovative and feature-packed ROMs for us here.
now everyone can start bashing me
Well from what I read now that froyo is available the fascinate is the most state of the art single core 3g android phone on Verizon.
Screen is impressive and looks better than the INC. Battery life really depends on what kernel and rom you choose, like other phones. The Fascinate, although it has a great dev community, because Samsung's being a douche about Froyo and its source for the Fascinate, many custom roms like CM, and MIUI, and roms with special addons are not quite there yet, but we do have stable Froyo roms and themes. No custom kernels for Froyo yet because of lack of source.

If it weren't for the Devs there wouldn't be any Froyo. The false promises of an update have been frustrating but I've been using the leaked version in the Super clean rom for awhile and I love it.
To sum it up for you quickly, you want custom stuff, stay with the incredible or move on to the Thunderbolt, but if you want the best hardware and media playback on the market, get the Fascinate.
I have been using certified used for about a month.
Looked good as new, they put in new battery, charger, rear cover, etc.
Works well...have bricked twice and had no issues that were related to hardware.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
so well worth the $35 dollars? lol
i do have the INC for development but my concern is that my inc only gets good battery life if i run cm6.1 with a very modified kernel.
what is the average battery life on a froyo rom? lets say... moderate use.
no one has anything else to say about their phone they use everyday?
I came from a D1 and would not go back. Miss some of the the things from CM but am happy with what I can do so far.
Mine will last a typical moderate (i even play some games) day off the charger with SC** rom's. Just updated today to latest so dont know on it yet.
Rom's will only get better.
Battery life is the only thing that I don't like about it. But with a screen like this its hard not to have bad battery life. RIP geekniks stupidfast kernels with 4 days of battery life.

As far as custom Roms go battery life is all over the board. When I was using SC 2.2 my battery life was good, but it dropped off on 2.4, 2.6, and 2.7. Now that I'm using 2.8 it's good again but different people have different results because their are so many ways to customize. The worst battery life I got was with the stock rom.
Seidio makes a 1600mAh slim battery which gets you an additional 100mAh without replacing your battery door; Not that signifigant but the 3000mAh extended battery is a huge jump.
I do agree that the picture quality is second to none. It has a beautiful screen.
Battery life depends on how you use and how you define "light", "moderate", and "heavy" usage. For me, moderate usage will get me around 15-20 hours of battery life. Phone will lose about 1-1.5% an hour when it is idle with screen off so standby time is very good.
Phone is fast and stable. Media playback is top-notch. The screen is beautiful and quite responsive to input. The phone feels decent in your hand though I do prefer it with a rubberized case. I have the Otterbox Impact and I find that it gives the phone a perfect feel for my hand.
I honestly have no complaints with the Fascinate aside from Sansung being slow to update it. That said, with Superclean 2.8 I'm pretty sure I'll never use the Froyo OTA update anyway. We also have a buddding dev scene. A CM7 port and framework are in the works, along with a custom 2.2 kernel, and a MIUI port.
I'm certainly biased, but I would recommend the Fascinate to just about everyone except for people who NEED a hardware based keyboard.
My battery life is very good with any use.
I know others have used varying beta roms and have battery issues.
I have had zero of these issues.
My battery always lasts a full day easily (last night after being unplugged for ~20hrs it still had over 40% life).
I use it daily with these basic cases:
get up around 6:30am....
unplug, read email/messages, check out online game (diplomacy), check some news,check calendar...
throughout day...
use various tools, browser, map, gps on, xda, diplomacy, etc, use pandora for couple hours as i hit the gym...
I then plug in at bedtime between 11pm and 1am.
Rarely it will be in a low red colored %. Great majority of time its between 20 and 40%.
Only time frame I needed to plug in during day was on days when I was making extensive phone calls (hours for various issues) or right after I got Angry Birds. Played continuously for a week.
Hi I been bouncing from Rom to Rom like a maniac this week and I know this has probably been asked a million times before but ima ask anyways and anyone is welcome to answer which Rome have the best and longest batteries with out giving up performance?

The battery you get is all dependent on how you use the Phone, if you are a heavy user you can't expect 2 days out of the battery, lite users can manage a day or more. Personally I'm loving MIUI now, I listen to music, maybe some games, phone calls, internet[4g], etc and I can mange 1 day if I try. I couldn't really kill it in under 8hrs if I wanted to. After you flash a ROM, you should try this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10
RoyalGinger has amazing battery life. Just make sure to calibrate your battery after flashing and give it a couple days to "settle". I have gone 36 hours with moderate use and wi-fi on nearly all the time without charging. There have been people that went much longer.
GenerationX is the best.

Yea I calibrate all the time and royals been good. I'd say I'm a pretty heavy user mainly texting like all day long some music SN games. Yesterday I only got 9 hours 27 mins on royal Ginger once I went up to 17 hours. I was just curious cause I see so many ppl posting screen shots of ridiculous battery life that I can't even get close too on the same roms. Like 3.0 roms lasts me like 6 hours n I'll deff try that Rom then thanks

GenerationX wishes it was RoyalGinger...Used it for 10 minutes and had to go back.
also consider there has been some reports of excessive battery drain caused by the tmo service itself before counting out any specific ROM. supposedly tmo is working on the issues. i really like the new VU but AOSP ROMs feel so clean, hard to choose. maybe i should just get a second phone
If you want to try out a different kernel for better battery life, flash one of faux's. He is pretty focused on battery life. demonspeed kernels from Thederekjay are pretty sweet too. They can be used with royalginger and cm7 post night91 or 92.

I agree, Faux and thederekjay make some kick ass kernels. youll also have to tweak the rom to your likings for better battery life (ex. disabling haptic feedback, lowering screen timeout, syncing, etc...) theres also an app called Watchdog task manager and it notifies you of "rogue apps" that consume too much power. give it a shot
Yea Generation X im running v5 its pretty sick i like the way everything flips n stuff and i love the Demonspeed kernel its sick love all the govenors n the fact that i can underclock when screen is off below 245 thats pretty sick but atm generation x is only lasting me bout 8 to 9 hours its a possibility that its the actuall tmo service but i never really had this issue before when Cm7 first came out i was in love lasted me up 17 hours which is alot for me considering im on it all day long for business and all but i need some change in my life be able to flash roms as much as i do stops me from buying a new phone every couple weeks lol . I think ima try the new royal ginger 3.0 but will i be able to flash the Demonspeed kernel on that one?. i really like the way everything flips and stuff when you open an app on generation X is that a setting or is that like unique to only that rom? also anyone know the difference between scary, demonspeed, minmax, and Smartass governors? kinda curious i searched it found in depth detail bout regular ones like conservative ect but i tend to lag on conservative phone takes a while to open n jump up to speed for decent performance. anyways thanks for the help and suggestion guys sorry if i ask to many questions lol

1. yes you can use the demonSPEED kernel with RG 3.0
2. the screen transitions and animations can also be used with different launchers from the market, like LauncherPro or ADW being the most popular ones. just look under "menu>launcher settings"
3. Faux and thederekjay give details for their kernels in the OP of their threads, and which governor is which:
Faux's AOSP v1.0.7 kernel
thederekjay's demonSPEED v5 kernel
hope this helps you out

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

If you're flashing ROMs, you're already flashing kernels. Don't fear the kernel flash. Tiamat Lee on CM7 or Deck's is where it's at.

I get better battery on drews ICS ROM Than any from I've run in a year. I use it as a daily, it isn't completely fully functioning though, as 4g doesn't work and video is iffy.
That said, after I updated to latest radio, my battery is dying much faster........did you do the radio update ?

Nope, no radio update. Im going to see how the battery life is at the end of the day without SetCPU.
MIUI or salvagemod 1.4 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC

I meant interchanging kernels with custom roms.
A lot of people are saying the same thing so I guess I'll try those recommendations.
If you want sense go with team nocturnals shooter ROM it has been my daily for a good while and I really love the battery life

This is Sense based ROM with the best battery life for evo 4G

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!
I'm currently running 2.4.6 along with nyan colonel 4 but so far I'm not too pleased; I'm getting about 5-6 hours with medium use on a 1800 mAh battery.
Try turning off 3G (mobile data) when not in use. I was getting 6-7hrs w/ it on & now I can squeeze out 12-15hrs. However I left it alone it went 30 some odd hrs w/ only 30mins of screen time though.

Nuh uh, that's not gonna fly in this thread. I shouldn't have to be turning off my data to get any semblance of decent battery life. I really do want to get this to work though; I love MIUI. Unfortunately it seems the GB version will never be complete as everyone jumped ship to ICS and the ICS version is awesome but seems to get crap battery life even on 4.0.4
you dont HAVE to turn your data off....but if you wanna save some battery that is one of the best ways. if your phone is in your pocket and you dont need it, why have it on suckin juice....try juice defender, i use it with any rom i run and it helps...play with uv in nstools, just dont go too crazy with it.

Uh lol? He just gave you the best tip and you turned it down, you must not be interested in improving battery life, if you're constantly using data and have over 2hrs of screen time you're asking for crappy battery life, and unless you are always receiving important emails, you really don't have a reason to run it 24/7, if you're to lazy to turn it on and off, just use juicedefender, and it'll do it for you. You'll have to make some sort of sacrifice, whether it be monetary or personal. Phone usage is everything, get a bigger battery. Also, logging out of social networking apps when you aren't using them helps as well. I find I have very nice battery life on MIUIgb

I know that turning off data can save me battery life. That's not the point of this thread. I figured it was implied I was talking about different kernels and versions of MIUI V4, not the way I use my phone.
On that note, what's your setup with MIUI GB? I've been considering going back but I'm turned off by MMS STILL being broken
Sorry dude but that's the wrong question to ask. By now u should know that every phone is different if its what kernel to use & what setting to use this or that app than its simple trial and error. When we were still on froyo I couldn't use one of the very popular kernels bcuz it drained by better like crazy it took me a few weeks but I found the perfect setup to get good battery life. & sorry for misunderstanding your intention for this thread.

Alright.. well I misunderstood, it mighta been better to include that in op but it's whatever now lol, I'm using shadowkernel MIUI, and... 100-800Mhz governorndemand, schedular: Sio. And yes MMS has actually been a pain in the ass today for me, I'm considering going to AOKP again lol. I will apologize if I sounded rude in the previous post though, I didn't understand where you were coming from.

Is dropping down to 800 MHz noticeable as far as performance goes? Also is MMS the only problem you have with MIUI GB?
