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!

Love this rom,but the battery drain is insane.Last tried rom was hawkish prem 3 with galaxian kernel,battery lasted over 3 days moderate using.

you can try my rom iVastROM 2.0.
i post it today.
it's very fast and the battery lasts much

Display always 75% or higher

I don't know what happened but I'm having issues. I cannot get the display to fall below 75% and it sucks because between my EVO stock battery and my extended battery you can actually see the battery life being sucked away rapidly.

I have the same issue, it is isolated to Sense roms. It doesn't happen with AOSP, which is why those are the only roms I can use due to the battery life. We had a thread going for a while with some other people who had the same problem, but nobody could really get to the bottom of it. I reached out to Aamikam but he couldn't really help or didn't want to. I didn't know if a logcat or anything would have helped but no one really answered me. It happens on froyo and gingerbread sense roms, and I never had the issue for a long time but then I noticed it the first time on MikFroyo 4.62. I've tried everything since then but no results.
Only thing to do right now is switch to an AOSP rom, I highly recommend Team Nocturnal's Xplod. Very smooth with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel and more eye candy than CM7. I would love to be able to use MikG again but my battery literally dies in 4 hours, regardless if I'm using the phone or not.

Alot of ppl seem to think that 75 percent or more of display is bad. Really it isn't. The battery stats need to equal 100 percent. On sense roms that's the way it is and there is nothing wrong with it. Now if your experiencing high.android system usage, that's a problem. As long as everything else is relatively low, its all good
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Its after I installed the new update. Even downgraded to earlier gingerbread and still 75 plus.
Yes my system is low but I can watch my battery meter lower in realtime. Well I guess its time for a new toy.

If your actively using your phone and it drains rapidly that's pretty normal in my experience. But if its draining a lot during idle, check for a rogue running app. Otherwise not using auto brightness is a good mentioned trick along with underclocking with a new kernel should help
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It has to do with the use of a generic power_profile.xml. Neither CM or stock use correct values for this.

You don't get it...this is not normal display usage. I remember what my battery usage and battery life was like before this problem came up and there was a huge difference. Before, cell standby was my highest usage and I could get 25-30 hours on a charge. Then display usage shot up to 90% give or take some, and battery life dropped to 4-8 hours. I can understand if display was slightly higher than everything else, but display is at 75-95% while everything else is under 5 or 10. There is absolutely no reason why the display usage should be that high even when the screen has been OFF the entire time. That's not normal. I have multiple screen shots to back it up.

Is there a way to fix or change this? And is there a reason why it happens to some people but not others?

So using bootmanager (finally works now) I loaded miui. And my display is no higher than 1%. So something is very very wrong with sense and 4.5 updates.

if you hardly use the phone of course you will have great battery life, use the phone normally so we can see the difference the kernel made.

now is on 44% with 2 hours of screen and 1 hour 15 minuts of calls, whatsapp, web search, emails, and some sms in 24 hours
i think is a great consum and its not a fake, 6 hours, 100% without use, is a grand deepsleep and tharks for haraunjo, owner of the desing and tester friends of he........ very good job.
i used all kernels that we can find , siyah, phenomenal, speedmod, franco, darknight,chainfire, etc. and this kernels is working like in galaxy s2 siyah 2.6.7 another great work from gorkhanmoral...............
thakns to haraunjo for this kernel, i think was my obligation give this results to other owners of s3

Post your screens when you reach 5% and the on screen time etc. You've got my interest in the kernel.
Can it be flashed to stock rom? My screen is on a minimum of 4 hours a day. Do you think it would make a difference to me?

Battery problems...

Hi I have searched all over for a solution. Most point to 3rd party apps and wakelocks but I don't think these are the case because I am not losing battery while it is turned off. Today the only thing I used my phone for was browsing the internet and I still only got 2 hours of screen on, which is still better than usual. When I use my phone regularly I only get around 1 hour. I am on PAC ROM and Faux's kernel. And also sometimes it gets hot but not as much as it used to.
Here is some pictures of my battery.

wow, chrome is a HUGE drain!
im a heavy browser user, heavy user user generally too. the aosp browser never drains(ed) that much, ever, no matter how much i used it. on average, i get about 3.5-5 hours screen on time, depending how i used the phone for that day. maybe its time for you to use a different browser or try a different rom/kernel.

Try using greenify , your battery stats look normal to me. If your using your phone in a bright area its going to kill your battery faster, and if your screen is doing that its going to make your phone hot. Using it in direct sunlight will kill your battery very fast.

Thanks I did not know that. I was in the sun quite a bit, even though I kept the brightness as low as I could. And also I do use greenify which does help.

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...

i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time

battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

I've terrible battery usage after 4.3 update. I never had any issues before but now I get 20 to 30 percent drop during the night when before it was under 10 in the same scenario.
Android os Showing 6h usage...
Any help on sorting this out highly appreciated.

Battery life has increased a lot for me.
No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.

@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.
