I've been running the latest nightly (20120722) for a few days now with less than stellar battery life. It seems that everytime I run an AOSP rom the main battery culprits appear to be cell and phone idle, where's with a Sense rom, it' the screen. I have a relatively new battery. I'd say moderate use, typically.
Anyone have suggestions on getting better battery life with CM7? I'm running the stock kernel at 245/800, ondemand, deadline. Also running V6 supercharger at 5.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've gotten 12+ hours today of cm7.2 7/15 nightly and barely at 50%
Did lots of recordings and such.
Dunno
I don't use the v6 script, or do any mods at all.
Just run it as is.
Stock battery too.

Yeah I've gone back to 7/15 to see if it's any better. I seem to remember it being better; I'll report back later today. Still curious why cell standby is the main battery eater on CM7 (or AOSP ROMs in general) as compared with say, SSX or newSENSE, which was the display...

Aosp shows true signal where Sense won't. So AOSP having a cell standy over display sounds about right. Sense always thinks it has signal and AOSP has no signal thanks to sprint. In my area Sprint blows, so that's what I *think

This is better.. I went back to the previous nightly (20120715) for a few days now. Still moderate use.
I'm currently running the stock kernel at 245/1.21, ondemand, deadline. Without V6 supercharger and I didn't flash the ICS theme either.
Perhaps the 20120722 nightly did not play well with my device.

If V6 SuperCharger is not setup correctly, or the setting is to high. Your Battery life can take a hit.
Any ROM, best battery. Go

Well you have to remember that it's not just the rom, the kernel the rom uses also plays a big role in battery life. Also using apps like Juice Defender,etc. can affect battery life statistics being reported by other users.

IMO Juice defender sucks and so does most of those battery saver apps.They cause more problems than they are worth get a good battery like an anker and don't run a ****load of apps and try official cm7 or try applying governors like smartassv2 or similar that adjust itself while sleeping or maybe an app like setcpu and setup some profiles thats like i said IMO...Good Day!!!

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

This is True, most People getting 10hrs screen time with 3days on are not using 3g data and no sync and so on, everything is depending on how you use your Phone even when you don't use it.

My battery life went down after the update, all else being equal. Would a factory reset really help? I'd have to do one anyways to revert I guess.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

But i never experienced ota or kies ugrade.
But in other way, 99% me will perform full wipe everytime install new custom rom.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

Does anyone know a Rom that has a lot of battery life with moderate usage? I've tried a lot, but I would like your inputs on it.
While I'm at it, might as well ask all of you what roms your using? I'm using Viper touch 2.1.4 right now.

I am using Dark Unicorn 2.5.
I was on CM7 for a few weeks, but the ROM was really slow and everything lagged. For instance, when I turned on the screen and unlocked, it took it roughly 5-10 seconds to respond before I could do anything. Other features didn't work, including the Market. I read over 100 posts about this Market issue, and couldn't resolve it. It led me to Dark Unicorn.
Dark Unicorn is insane amazing. Everything works (except720p recording). I have had no bootloops, no random shutoffs, nothing. I am trying to kill the battery as we speak and I cant! I just had the screen on full bright ON all the time, wireless, GPS, bluetooth, and music on for the last 2 hours and it only dropped 20%. I left it on all night with the screen off, 100% charge and it was still 100% in the morning. That includes the Data + Sync being on. On top of it all, I have it clocked at 1.2 right now.
I am thoroughly impressed with this ROM. I cannot gripe because I appreciate the developers work, however, if I had to have one complaint it's that there is no option to turn of haptic feedback for the screen off and on slide. I have disabled it all across the phone, but when unlocking it vibrates.
For anyone who cares, I am using the MDJ Kernel as well.
:good:
Nice I'll try that ROM again! Last time I had some CPU problems, but that was all my fault lol.

There are "oversized" batteries but you have to take off the rear metal plate and you can't use cases designed for the OE phone size specs. The largest I think I've seen was something like 3500 mAh (again, no rear metal plate to hold battery in but they come with an extra one that's extended and holds the larger battery in otherwise it would fall out), largest that actually fits inside the phone was like 1600 mAh. Perfect for playing Ingress but terrible for using as a daily driver.

CM 7 with darkside kernel aosp by derek jay gets me wicked good battery life. I can easily get 2 days on lite use or 24 hours on heavy use. I don't play games just browse make calls and text a lot. I would go to another rom but I need stability and working wifi calling. No matter how hard I try I can't say no to my MyTouch 4G. Already replaced a cracked screen and now replacing the keypad for a broken and now missing home key.
try vipertouch, its not bad with battery life and maybe you will like it
