Kernel for better Battery life? - Galaxy S III General

Hi to all!
I have 4.1.1 XXDLJ4 and i'm rooted.
The battery life sucks(never used ICS) so i can't compare.
Is there a kernel who will give me better battery life?
Any suggestions?

Turn on power save mode?

get better battery stats and find out what is causing drain
Search one of the millions of battery drain threads

I searched a lot.I unistalled many useless apk's ,disabled fast Dormancy(no need for my country) but the battery is the same or worst from my old Galasy S2 with the same things.
I think maybe it's kernel's problem that issue...
My phone is super fast now,better battery life from stock 4.1.1,smooth like butter but with the battery not to happy.

..... why the... what inspired you to make a new thread... search the forum mate come on follow the rules we don't allow these types of questions.

Why not? Battery life will always come at the cost of performance.

Try them -.- Most of them allow undervolting, so get one and undervolt your phone. E.g. I am using Siyah Kernel with 100mV undervolt and it works well.
Next time use the search button please

If that's the law sir, then the law is an ass. I'm always interested to hear the experiences of other people with various mods etc. If these discussions can't be held here, then where? The individual Kernel/ROM/Mod threads are hardly impartial (have you checked the Siyah thread recently?). So I ask again: where?

to be honest , i used my s3 one month with default rom , battery drain about 10 hours , and since yesterday when i rooted and flashed custom rom , battery still 78% (since this morning , with internet usage) , and lost only 1% last night (3g on) .
but i don't think the kernel is the most important for improve battery life , tweaks and optmisations are , so take care of choosing the good rom :good:

My batt drop too,custom rom+ siyah kernel.Never liked siyah cause this drainage but i cant just leave the sound tweaks it got.Im currently waiting the MIUI for s3 4.1 on xaiomi cause best battery iv ever got were on MIUI roms.

Freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup and sit back and enjoy very good battery.

If you want to discuss it in a discussion thread for a particular kernel, that's fine. It all comes down to reading and trying it out for yourself.
Plenty of discussion for it here about why it is not allowed.

New OTA

Anyone using the new OTA notice any significant difference in the camera?
I know there was a whole new APK and libs for it, so it should be different. I just want to know without flashing
Devs are currently going through the new RUU that was just released a few hours ago . They are still sorting through the changes in the Development section . Information at this time is still limited but bare with them . Im sure they will find good stuff in them if there is anything good put into it . Now if they do something about the charging bug / battery issue *Ducks behind couch to avoid incoming objects*
What charging bug and battery issue are u talking abt?

The charging bug is when you charge your phone over night and unplug it drops to 95% or 90% right off the bat . Or the fact the phone doesnt charge extended batteries very well . NOW back on track LOL the OTA .

This isn't a bug but how the battery is designed to charge so the battery lasts longer. Been this way since the evo came out.

I just loaded this up to test the kernel power draw and man is it low. I'm talking about almost half of CM6 with Snap 7.5 which was already by far the best. I don't know if I'm reading the log wrong but it's only drawing 30 mA @ idle - Snap 7.5 is low 50's. This ROM/Kernel should have crazy battery life.
Maybe I'm a little tired but after taking 15-20 low light pics something seems much improved. Focusing is fast, and the flash doesn't blow out the picture or look like an 80s polaroid anymore.
Again, this could just be in my mind, I'll try to compare to some old pics and post the conclusion.
@creyc: I think you are right. The "nuclear blast" flash in low light seems under control. Also focused very quickly.
@Award Tour: How do you measure the drain?
where's the dev forum? I couldn't find anything in EVO 4G developers section. Can someone drop the link here?

Post your average battery stats for 1h standby here.

Just wondered what everyone's battery drainage was like when in standby. Here's mine;
Battery percentage: 97%.
Standby time: 2h 8m.
AV: 2.3.4. Baseband: KI1. Kernel: KI1.
This is a joke. You are the biggest troll I've ever seen on XDA dude. No offense I'm not gonna bulm**** you, I'm gonna tell you what I think and this is that:

•you make half-assed desktop Visualizer icons and call it a "theme"

Not all of them are useless, and I'm not attention whoring.
•you make half-assed desktop Visualizer icons and call it a "theme"
Can't you read? They're under construction.
•your just begging for thanks... which is pathetic (its a freaking online forum, not real life)
How exactly am I begging for thanks? The fact that the thouh crossed your mid is pathetic, proving that you're the one who is trying to leech as many thanks' as you can. I don't have 'Find this helpful? Thank me!!! Hurr Durr' in my signature unlike many of the other people within this forum.

its only possible if you turn off the packet data or GPRS/mobile internet....

otherwise its impossible.....
or either u r using the extended battery .... don't u ?

In my experience kernel makes much more difference compare to ROM on battery life and its relatively easy to try few around (no wipe needed) just give 2-3 popular ones day or two and in weeks time you can come to conclusion

Just saying hi!

Just wanted to say hi really. Ive jusr upgraded from the HTC Desire/Bravo which I had rooted and moded so after a while I'll probably do the same to this.
Any suggestions/hints/tips you have for me as a first time Samsung user with this phone?

If you're already rooted, please please please BACKUP your EFS. Use this tool (EFS Professional). Only after that backup you'll be safe to completely hack your phone away. Place that backup in a safe location, like dropbox. Cheers!

This is one great device and I was kinda sceptical at first with all the newer a15 processor devices out but hell this bad packs a huge punch and it's pretty snappy to me!
All you need to know is in the sticky notes under the developmental area.
I use a prerooted stock odexed myself which seems to give me a faster but longer battery life than all the others I have tried. Just need to delete some unwanted bloatware is all!

There is an aweful lot of bloat ware, it's the only issue I have with the device so far.
I tested the battery today streaming HD video, heavy browsing and not letting the screen go off for long. The device lasted about 6 hours on some serious usage.
