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.

Hey guys, i have made an observation recently.
i have been using CM nightlies for about a month or two now, and i have noticed the battery to be quite, meh
standby times are pretty terrible tbh.
so i tried carbon rom and noticed the standby times were much better along with the screen time.
with cm nightlies, i have used several battery monitoring apps and i have come to the conclusion that the phone isnt sleeping properly,
or some sort of app is waking the phone a lot, these being system apps.
can anyone confirm this? thanks
I can confirm.
But I can also confirm that no CM based comes even close to stock based roms when it comes to battery life
Same settings being used I get 5.5~6h of screen time on a stock based vs 3.5-4.25h I get on a CM. And idle times are pretty much awful on CM. Every update theres always something new draining the battery.
I would like to know the opinion of you guys about the battery life of the Find 5 and possible future improvements.
Using the latest AOSP ROMS (in my case @maxwen AOKP, Aarons's PA 3.99 and CodefireX) I noticed that battery life is much better then on Oppo's Color ROM, yet it's still far from what I would expect from the device, I barely get more that 2 - 3 hours of screen time out of it on a daily basis. Compared to my last phone (S3) it's actually pretty bad.
Is there a chance that this is due to still poor sw sources from Oppo and might likely improve in the future or is the current battery life as good as it gets, what do you think?

Well, I hope the battery life gets better overall, I get around 3-4 hours on screen time, and that's pretty darn good. Using Spotify/Soundcloud all day long aswell as webbrowsing, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. I guess the battery life is OK, but I hope it'll get better.
This phone got almost the same batterylife as my S3 4G, which is pretty bad. :/
And I wouldn't hope for Oppo to improve their sources, since it seems like they've no idea what they're doing. ColorROM is still a huge mess!

Thanks,
I agree that Color Rom is a nightmare but one can hope...
You seem to use your phone pretty much the same way I do but with somewhat better battery life. May I ask which rom/kernel you are using?
I'm currently on AOKP nightly from 28th September

Using latest CodefireX rom with audio fix, I've disabled some system things which seems to help with the battery. Just give me a PM if you want to know exactly what things I've disabled and how I've setup my phone!

I can't understand why everyone says he gets better batterylife with custom roms.
I tried the latest AOSP, PA, Cyanogenmod and gave them all a chance. I even changed the settings that hard, that i couldn't say it was a smartphone anymore... but i've never noticed better batterylife than with any color rom! And all the bugs on custom roms...
Actually i run Color ROM 1.0.1 (4.2.2)
Just bevore i ran Stable Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, PA 3.99, AOKP Maxween
Did you get other experience with the same roms or did you use other roms?

for me, I'm using the CM10.2 by maxwen / etc... definitely much better battery life, especially when on idle/screen-off/sleep... I can make the phone last >24 hours (couldn't do it with the original oppo rom)
settings that I've been using on that kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45835020&postcount=152

Ok. Yes, above 24h would be difficult with the color rom. But i never tried to reach 24h with cpu & gpu underclocking...
I think i use my phone relative often and with the ColorRom 4.2.2 i easily reach 12-14h.
And my thoughts on custom roms were, that wehen i have onscreen time i can watch them percents battery life falling and because of this i only got about 6-8h battery life with almost every Custom Rom.
I will post some screenshots of the batterylife with the ColorRom later this day and let you interpret them, ok?
I have i9500 cm11 ROM nightly. Version 20140105 and it drains battery. 43% is android os. 7 hours and 5 hours I didn't use the phone. What should I do?
When I had issues, I installed GSAM battery monitor and got more details. Shows when it was using more data, was awake, was using phone signal or wifi, battery temperatures..... For me it was some media files that were not processing well, so I had to drop in some .nomedia files.
Try to download Wakelock Detector from the Play Store and see the root that causes it. For example, the last time with stock rom, I have issues with Google Play Services with NIPcollector issues that keep on waking the phone without letting it to fall into deep sleep causing a huge battery drain. The solutions, Wakelock terminator, can be download in Play Store aswell. The free version of wakelock terminator only let you terminate 1 services which is just enough for my case. If you have more than one services causing lots of wakelock, consider getting the donate version.
Do use Greenify to hibernate unused apps aswell, it does really helps. :good:
if u are looking for low battery drain then stay away from custom roms especially cm based roms.
not only they drain the battery fast because they are badly ported or whatever but also they are missing samsungs energy saver mode which does save alot of battery. (only enable cpu and u will never notice its on)
so if u really want to use a custom rom then atleast get a tw rom.
my best experience for best battery on my s2, s4 and note 3 is original stock rom with bloatware removed, energy saver mode on (cpu only) and xposed+xblast module.
that way i got best battery on my s4 (almost 6 hours on screen time or 3 days standby time), all tw features and all features i want from a custom rom.
also on every android phone in my house i had a battery drain while having wlan on in standby mode.
i noticed this not when having the screen on... only like at night when the screen was off.
this took me about 1 day standby time... so ihad only 2 days standby and not like now 3 days.
lost like 10-15% every night while doing nothing. now its 1-2% every night.
this wasn't the fault of any apps installed or anything else. only thing which help me with this was buying a new router.
after researching which one would help me with this problem i decided to buy this one. cheap and also very good and alot of settings.
http://www.amazon.de/Edimax-BR-6228nS-Wireless-LAN-Access-Points/dp/B004XIE2T0
other then that NEVER use geenify or any other battery tools. they will not help at all...
only app that could help is betterbatterystats.

I'm glad you are speaking only from your own experience, because many people have had different experiences. I get as good as or better battery life with CM11 over TW on my i9500. Many others have said the same.
BTW, CM for the S4 is not a "port."

1) Download a newer nightly. Lots of progress has been made on CM11 in 4 months.
2) Backup your data, do full wipes and a clean install.

cmon man. it's ok if u like cm and all. thats ur thing.
but don't say u got same as good battery like on tw rom... then u ain't know what u talking about.
if u say something like that its clearly that u never had a good running system and probably cm on ur phone since u bought it.
but i agree he could solve that high android os drain due a fresh clean new install/full wipe (probably even with the same version he has on the phone right now)
battery would be still alot worse then on tw roms with stock kernel
Check this. If it is the same issue, it doesn't depend on the ROM, but on the carrier.

thanks for helping guys. I have found out that the music player doesn't give the phone to fall into deep. i want to move to be not system app and to put it on hibernate. how can i check if the app "/system /app mover" works on rom cm11 ? cant it break my phone?
thanks
Clicking the battery in settings will give some information.
I had the problem in past week (i9505 S4 running stock 4.3), where Google Play Store inexplicably was unable to connect to the server. As a result, it kept trying to connect and fail repeatedly, and draining battery severely. Tried all the fixes to reconnect Play Store with server to no avail. Ended up doing a hard reset, and this fixed it. Battery consumption now back to normal.
Anyone has the most battery friendly combination of ROM and kernel? I've tried almost every MM ROM but doesn't satisfy me. I just bought a new battery recently for my D802 and still draining fast. Im using latest bumped twrp. I have never had an SOT of more than 4 hours of normal usage. Now I'm barely getting 3 hours sot and it sucks. So any tips will be appreciated thanks!
Hi,
the PA-Rom is very battery friendly.

I've tried that too. What kernel tweak you use and settings?
I should have mentioned that I have been using the Lambda Domino Stable kernel and the efficiency battery profile. I also use Greenify for doze on the go (aggressive doze).
I use PA with the original Kernel. Battery life is for me like Stock KitKat.

I once use beanstalk and the battery is really fine but when i changed ROM and install again Beanstalk battery was never the same. I don't know what went wrong. I've always used greenify.
Using PA with Lambda Hipnose Beta 9 kernel right now. Using lots of alarm/wakelock blocks etc with amplify and greenify. Battery life seems okay, but I'm asking myself if exodus, beanstalk or resurrection remix would do better? Did anyone try and can make a direct comparison? I care more about battery life than about performance tbh. Thanks in advance!

crdroid was great, with aggressive doze !
Currently on XOSP with latest lambda beta. Averaging 4hours SOT from 100 to drain. Basically lasts a day with minimal gaming and mostly web surfing, youtube and facebook. Performance kinda lags but tolerable.

This isn't a marshamallow ton but if you want best of both worlds trust me and try ice rom v5.9 final it's actually as some with the camera battery life evrything it's fluid. Trust me try it you won't regret it even though it's lolipop based
Otherwise if you really like marshmallow I really liked aokp but I'm sticking with the ice ton you can find it on 4dpa

Hello,
is it just me or the battery on April's update drains a lot quicker than any previous updates?
I am currently using PureNexus 23/4 clean flash no mods and the battery is draining like crazy when playing some games or using it in general.
I know it depends on how are you using the phone, but this month is draining a bit faster than normally does.
I've used various ROMs with the April's update and are all the same.
I'm getting good battery life on latest DU.

i have the same feeling too..im on stock rom..i was getting between 4.5 to 5 hr sot most of the time, after aprils update getting only 4 hr.

Not on stock with EX Kernel. Check your battery capacity.
Not familiar with the Pure Nexus kernel. You might want to install a kernel auditor program like Ex Kernel Manager and check what your current kernel settings are. They could be set at a more performance oriented profile that eats battery faster. Since Pure Nexus is an Aosp Rom with its own kernel your experience on Pure Nexus wouldn't be applicable to people on other Roms. The best place to post your question would really be the Pure Nexus support thread.
LOL this question pops up after every update

Every single time people say their battery life decreases. Without fail. Im surprised by now their phone can even still hold charge since they say it drops with every update
I have a problem after that update. My 6p is stock and come after the beta 7.1.2, I full reset to factory and the drain is still here. Before if I left the phone overnight it drain 2-3% in 5h. Now it drain 13/15% ore more... And the battery interface doesn't report a specific app or internal process.

Check your battery capacity with Accubattery just to be sure it's not battery degradation, and install BBS or GSam to identify a wakelock, process or app sapping the battery.
Ok, thanks. I've installed Accu and gsam. I will see.
