[Q] CM9 battery drain/drop???

Need serious help my phone for some reason always drops from around 63-50 and then when it gets to 33 it goes to 20? how can i fix this problem? im using eppy 16/4/12 nightly ROM.
same issue
I am using cm9 latest nightly ending23 on SGS2. Battery life is getting worst with each updated nightly build nothing you can do apart from carrying a spare battery. Tried other roms but this is the best by far. I am sure it will be sorted soonish ??

[Q] Need suggestions

So I've looked at some threads here but I am still not sure what to do about ROM/Kernel. I currently flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.99 beta3 on my N7 and it is fantastic. I am pretty sure I am running the stock kernel right now so do I need to flash a better kernel? I'm looking for something that can conserve battery life. I'm losing like 3% per 20 minutes streaming.

PA 3.99 terrible battery drain

I haven't really been using my phone cause I've gotten the Xperia tablet Z
But running PA 3.99 on my nexus 4, I'm getting really crappy battery life..
I'm walking home and using Facebook and music player and I'm losing 2% every minute or so
I've re flashed PA twice but there's no hint of any improvements
Gsam is telling me that there's a wake lock and the kernel that is draining my battery
Does anyone know how to fix this battery issue?

If you are losing 2 % every min I would say your battery is messed up.. I doubt anythig other than 3d games can drain battery like that..
yea that's what i thought too but i really don't know whats going on with my battery i'm gonna reflash to stock and see if i can get better battery life as i dont really use my phone anymore so i could care less what rom i use

With the new PA 3.99 RC2 and the newest franco kernel plus I'm getting an awesome battery performance.
I did a complete reset of my phone to stock 4.3 before I rooted and installed it to my mako because I had bad bettery performance and on screen time last month.
I charged my phone to 100% in the evening and with wifi on it loses only 1% per hour at night (without whatsapp).
The next morning I insatlled Whatsapp again and I'm still impressed!
I'm at 27% now, at 22:51!!
Yeah I honestly don't think PA is to blame here, here's a recent one of mine:
Facebook is a notorious battery drainer btw. Try installing Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector and have a look what's really causing the drain before starting a thread blaming a damn good ROM

Hi.
U might want to refer in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532210

I guess Applock is causing the issue, anyway...I factory reset my device and I'm having great battery life now.

[Q] How to improve battery life on CM11?

I'm on Cm11 M6 (D800) and my screen-on time is pretty poor, with the screen seeming to be the main culprit. I only get about 1.5–2 hrs of screen-on time and the battery depletes very fast when I have the screen on, even doing menial tasks. I'm on stock Cm11 and have BetterBatteryStats installed, but nothing unusual is showing up at all. I've blocked the usual Google Play Services culprits, but poor battery life still persists. I also use Greenify.
Any suggestions?
Change to Mahdi ROM would be my advice.
it seems like you're running an old monthly, why not update to the latest?

I've heard a lot of good things about that ROM. Are there any major bugs?
I updated to the latest nightly build (because stable development stopped at M6), but having the same issues.
