Surprising LONG battery life ROM Tab Pro 8.4 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General

Hi folks!
I just wanted to share my experience:
After a long time I didn't use my tab pro8.4 because of its very low battery life, I tried it again but with cyanogenmod 12 and what... No bugs, very smooth and the battery life is so damn impressive!!
Two hours of Netflix streaming in WiFi with maximum brightness and I still have 60% battery left. Awesome.

I've been looking for a battery sparing ROM. Thanks for reporting, will consider it.

You guys should try cm 13 ROM. I've always had great battery life over stock. Recently replaced my battery as well and it's awesome now. Little thing I found to increase stand by time is to set Wi-Fi to turn off when the tablet isn't being used, stand by time is unreal.

I'm continuously looking for better battery ROMs, so thanks for that suggestion.
Do you happen to have any better battery logging, like with 3c battery widget? That way mAh is actually logged.
I first tried SlimROM6, which gave horrendous battery life, -100-150mAh. I also had an odd landscape orientation bug, where the UI wasn't accessible if booted in landscape, so I ditched that one.
I'm on this (CM12) one, and it's better. But battery usage is -50-90mAh, so only can get 2 days or so.
On stock 4.4.2, I was probably getting 3-4 days usage.
Which CM13 build are you using btw? Looks like last nightly was 12.19.2016, with no stable/milestones ever released. No download links are available anymore. Can you put one up?
Also reading the CM13 forum, looks like wifi drain was an issue, that may have been drastically improved by the wifi-off screen-off suggestion. Maybe I'll try that too.
Also wondering if the gapps I installed might play a role. ? installing unnecessary framework, etc. causing excess drain. I tried to install the minimum necessary, but I should recheck.

Battery comparison

Hey,
there is no topic where ROMs can be compared by their battery usage, so I decided to open such a topic.
It's hard to compare battery drain due to the diffrent usage of your phone so I thought about using an app and a easy to reconstructable environment.
I would prefer this app: Badass Battery Monitor.
Environment:
Min. 6 hours unplugged after full charge, unused (perhaps at night).
Wifi off
3G on
Just post your ROM and ur battery consumption per hour (please calc also with the minutes, to minimize the faults.
Incompatible with my device!

I have my own criteria to appreciate the battery consumption. When I go to sleep, I read the battery level %. In the morning I read it again. That way, I noticed no difference between ROMs (locked BL, only stock, always rooted, bloatware removed, five ROMs tried until now, *.58 for the moment): around 3-5% per night. Always I administrate the radios manually.
Plus, *.58 version comes with a new stock app, called `Power Save mode`, with interesting options.
Was just an idea yet.
But 1%/h is a great performance...
If there are some more values, I'll make a list
Tried do flash blend kernel, didn't boot... how did u get that working? I also have GWK74 and latest Blend-kernel, but stuck at bootloader image....
Well, I'm still amazed too.
The only downside is that I feel like my battery is draining faster when I'm using my phone. So I should probably keep the tweaks for the deep sleep state and flash another kernel again.
I think your idea is great, I'm constantly searching for the best battery saving ROM and kernel.

regardless of kernel(since one person might get great battery life on a kernel and another terrible battery life on the same kernel), what most affects your battery is your personal setup of your device and how you personally use your device. also, your data/phone signal plays a big part in battery life.
I tried it and I swear it just drained the battery slightly faster. I was 100% stock, not rooted.

Did you ever reset the battery and slow charge it(up to 5 or even 6 hours on usb)?
Yes at first battery life sucked for me, after I change the kernel I only got 1 hour more, then I started slow charging and saw the difference, the reason I said to change top a good kernel is the deep sleep, franco drains almost nothing during it

ive got not battery issues, im very happy with battery life on my phone. i get anywhere from 5-7.5 hours screen on time(depending how i use my device that battery cycle), but i dont use franciscos kernel(although he is a friend of mine). i do use a custom kernel though. but, as any custom kernel, there will people that say they get the best battery life, and yet there will be people that complain about battery. yes, even with franco kernel. as i said, battery life will mostly depend on your setup, your use, and your data/phone signal.
I have already a good battery setup with ak kernel and Greenify... I turn Off some with tasker just want to know if someone has a good e.xperience with battery guru

On my Nexus battery life is acceptable so I don't use it, but on my HTC Rezound I have been using this for a week or so, it seems to have no real effect that is noticable... Take that for what it is worth I guess, in my opinion it really does nothing and unless I see some kind of benefit to it within another week I will be removing it.
Even i am not sure about the performance. If ur a stock rom user try resetting the phone.

Terrible Battery Life

Coming from Playbook and old user of SGS the battery life is not good at all down 40% with 2.3 hours of internet any thoughts or is it 4.4.2 ?
Custom kernel ?
What does Battery Use say? You might have something else running.
You wouldn't happen to be viewing Flash, would you? I tried that once on CBS' site, and the resulting software rendering was a huge battery drain.
Are those Battery Saving Apps worth or just another drainer ? Don't see anything drastic in usage as its used by OS.
Check this thread:

A lot of people (including me) are very satisfied with battery performance. Just so you know, you need a few charges to get a full potential from the battery.

I've had some issues since 4.4.2 too, and I'm no newbie to Android. I was disabling location in the quick settings and found that whenever I did that Google Search would keep the phone from sleeping. Please update with anything you find is causing your battery problem. As mentioned, these devices can give good battery life!
I don't play games on mine but I get between 10 and 13 hours screen on time every charge. Most of my time is on the internet with 3 emails syncing every 30 minutes and WiFi on all the time. I charge it every second night.
Rooting and installing a new custom ROM will help with battery life. I noticed on 4.3, the media server bug was present. I had to disable the media server scan. That helped a ton with battery. For 4.4.2 i use purity ROM. In on 2 days one charge with 49% left. You need to charge the battery a few times also as mentioned

Thanks but does this ROM enhances battery life or worsens ? Also what do you mean by Linaro ? Should i go 4.4.2 or 4.2 as per there post ?
4.4 2 introduced a bunch of security enhancements in light of NSA revelations. I cannot say how much better this ROM is compared to current stock because I haven't used stock for some time. That said, the dev is a very talented one and the rom is popular in a way a battery sucker wouldn't be. The rom contains enhancements over the stock version such as proprietary bionic/dalvic enhancements from Qualcomm that Google couldn't legally include, due to licence issues.
The main factor is in the kernel and the options it gives you. You can disable things like S2W, DT2W, magnet wake thingy, etc. You can also specify the maximum processing power when your Nexus' screen is off/on. Etc, etc.
At a certain point you're just going to have to see for yourself. The fact is that you don't like your current battery performance, so maybe just take the dive and try for yourself?
I will say your questions have been asked and answered a million times before. My earlier reply was the best I could do for you, my friend. For my part, I'm afraid you're going to have to do what everyone before you has done in order to learn more: ask Google before asking anybody else.
For example, regarding your Linaro question:
Try searching 'Android Linaro'
Question about bionic or dalvic? Try the same thing, maybe you'll have to adjust your search to include 'Qualcomm' (the brand of processor in our device).
If it's frustrating not having all the answers at your fingertips then celebrate! It's that frustration that will motivate you to find your answers.
For now, though, maybe start reading up on the links I gave you. There are ways to return to stock if you feel you need to (you'll also need to do your own reading on that).

Arguably, all the business of unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. is probably easier on Nexus devices than it is or has been on 99% of contemporary or former Android devices. So, you're in pretty good shape off the bat=)

The kernel is the most important when it comes to battery life because it Controls cpu and kernel and io operations.
I recommend using elementalx kernel because it has deepsleep state which will allow your device to save the most battery when you're not using it. I'm sure there are others but that's what I use.
The largest battery drain during use is the screen, so keep your screen at a minimum whenever you are using it if you're concerned about battery.
Another thing you can do to improve battery is undervolt. However you will only experience minimal benefit because you can only undervolt so much before your device is unstable. I don't recommend undervolting for newbies.
Another thing that can improve battery life is multicore power saving, a setting that is enabled with a custom kernel such as elementalx.
Another thing that I've heard that CAN help battery life is using Art, instead of dalvik cache. This is highly debatable, but some have reported improved battery life. I use art but mostly for the improved performance and load times, rather than the battery life.
Of course you should turn off anything you don't use, blue tooth, nfc, GPS, etc.. To help better manage this automatically you can use an app called profile scheduler.
-Wizzle
Wizzle, I've heard ART isn't stable with apps that haven't been retrofitted to ruin with it. Is that your experience?
---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------
Incidentally, there's a new 'Glitch' kernel released today. Just checked and it also goes into deep sleep. You may want to check it out... it, too, uses the Aroma installer and seems to offer a few more degrees of customization. Just make sure you snag the right one as there are a few different builds depending on your rom source.
Which rom do you use?
I have installed the .AOSP Kangs][DJL4.4] ROM last night due to some reason some apps are closing on it. Will try out the new kernel.
Yeah, I have the same ROM and have used both ElementalX & now the latest Glitch kernel. Odd you're having force close issues, tho. Pretty sure that isn't something many others are experiencing. Do you run other mods? Is SuperSU working okay?

I'm on cm11. I've tried glitch, but not the latest. Most of the customizations glitch offers is basically more overclocking and undercoating, I prefer stock values for stability, I've over clocked before just to see how fast I could actually get my Nexus to work, but of course you don't get the best battery life..
I've had 100% success with art. It has not been unstable one bit. It's definitely faster and I don't have to overclock which saves battery.
One word of caution! If you sideload apps, sometimes they will no longer install once you enable art. Oddly enough if they were installed before art was enabled, it works fine! (hehe at least that's my experience)
Another word of caution, once I've enabled art, I was not able to go back to dalvik unless I deleted all my data and reinstalled apps from scratch.. I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you enable art, just so you have data that is dalvik..
-Wizzle
My battery life is like what most people are saying, over 10 hours of use doing various things... other than 3D games with hour+ play sessions. Basically if I'm playing something like GTAIII or Final Fantasy III, battery life will go down considerably faster, but not devastatingly so, probably like 50% faster, and only while playing.
Here are some things that will dramatically help your battery life, assuming it isn't defective or something:
Having the brightness on auto or generally very low will help a lot. If you look at battery usage in Settings, you'll see that the screen usually eats more than half of your battery at all times.
Keeping GPS/Bluetooth/Wifi off when they aren't needed.
Closing background apps.
Turning the screen time-out down, which can be found at Settings>Display>Sleep. The Nexus 7 '13 has a pretty average battery, but one of its best qualities is how it barely loses any power when it's on standby.
Don't use live wallpapers or turn their quality settings down.
I'm using CleanROM which is just a stable, prerooted, more optimized stock AOSP rom and keeps up to date very quickly. My battery/performance is loads better than it was on stock. I couldn't recommend the rom more, especially after installing Xposed Framework and the GravityBox module, which allows you to to have many CM/PA features without much effort.
I get 10+ hours with WiFi and location on all the time. I do keep the brightness down a bit. If you're getting half that, something is wrong.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow battery discussion

This thread is for battery life discussion of android 6 Marshmallow.
I took the plunge recently and installed cm13 nightly on my phone after a couple of days with sultan's cm13 ROM. One notice that the android team really got the battery optimisations right this time especially when coming from android 5.1. The cell standby and android system bug is now gone and the phone can now be in standby for a long time. My usage pattern is browsing, reading in Adobe reader, listening to mucisc with bluetooth headphones, facebook, wassup, some youtube videos, sms and few calls. I play farm heros sometimes but I don't play graphical intensive games.
Here are 2 screenshots of my phone. It was charged to 100% at 8:00am on 30/11/2015 and it still has 41% left as at 10:00am 02/12/2015 Granted I have only used it on wifi and I configured wifi to automatically disable 5 minutes after the screen is off.
You can post you battery life too.

If a moderator deem it fit, he/she can close the thread but I felt it will be nice to make a dedicated thread for Marshmallow instead of looking through a big thread to get the relevant information needed for a particular android version.

yes.
It still sucks on mobile data. Nothing changed from Lollipop in regards of mobile data battery drain and i wish google could do something about it.
That's it! It's still on LP niveau
i had around 2 hours of screen on time and less than a day's battery life. The MMS also didn't work with WiFi connected, so I switched back to CM12.
I finally charged the phone today but not before I took a screenshot. My usage is not heavy at all so for heavy users, I guess the SOT will be longer but the total number of hours the phone was on will be lower. My usage did not change form that of 5.1 but I can definitely see a great change in standby time.
Still doesn't beat out KitKat in terms of heavy usage IMO.
The performance(yield) of the battery essuperior to android 5.1. The cycle of load lasts approximately two hours more of screen.

6.0 has the same battery life as 5.x for me. about 4-5h SoT.
KitKat and early 5.0 builds were clearly better with 8h SoT
Currently running Sultan's ROM CM13:
My battery life has hugely improved when I'm not touching the phone, no one app is draining way to much battery while not in the foreground.
There is one problem some people including me have been experiencing which is that Wi-Fi doesn't switch of properly and drains the battery, the only solution I found was to reboot the device after switching it off.
Not sure if this is a CM problem or the specific rom but not AOSP.
But apart from that battery life is good.
On sultan CM 13 CAF
Getting 4-5 hrs of SOT
Still waiting on a fix for mobile radio active. Had to go back to KitKat after a year on 5.x and a week or so on cm13. The difference in battery is staggering. Here's hoping Google actually finds a solution for the drain, otherwise I'm gonna have to stick to KitKat until I get a new phone.
I dont worry much abt battery charge ..currently on CM13.. dont see much of difference ... expect charge to last for 1 day.. connect to charging when home
Tech guys suggest me best battery rom for OPO don't fun with me by saying cm11s 44s. Almost 1 year stick to cm11 I need some latest android version in my device,
I'm new to xda
Thanks in advance!
Just stole myself this glorious phone yesterday (not really.. got a smokin deal) after 3 years and a month on a Nexus 4 that was left stock the entire time. My OPO is already rooted/unlocked so I'm trying to test out and find the best rom for battery life as both of the cm lollipop and marshmallow roms I've tried are about equal in terms of buttery-ness and just stick with that rom indefinitely.
Is general consensus that cm11 kit kat is far superior to the later cm roms in terms of battery life? Which exact rom would you choose as the last rom you flash onto your OPO ever?

I seriously thought that such a big battery and the optimization that I 've witnessed on many other Huawei devices would mean that I would get better battery life.... How to fix this people.... Help!

Private messages are not for chats, more so if it concerns others too, if it can help others.
You can write thenumbers that bother you, and we then can say if those are bad or not.

I get 4 hrs of SOT
Average use daily is checking e-mails - checking Facebook and Twitter - Youtube and Music streaming - no games.... Sometimes, it drains without even doing that and I barely pass a day without charging it.....
PS:
The Screen on time is inconsistent as it might be just 2 hrs or 3 hrs and it would be consumed completely!
Is there a ROM or an app or anything that can help me get better SOT?
Thanks and apologies for the message, I now know that it was unnecessary.

As I said earlier, and I can't stress it enough, install a better battery monitor such as GSAM. You can see exactly what is using your battery and what is causing wake locks. It is the best first step in trying to fix drain.

Make sure you let it run for a couple full cycles and you have to read it correctly. You can't get useful stats the minute you install it because it needs to run through full cycles while charging and unplugged, as it can only provide information for the time it's been installed. The longer you run it, the more accurate it is. Second, the App Usage stat is a percentage of the percentage of battery used. So if your battery is at 70% when you look at app usage and it says those things used 57% of the battery, that's 57% of the 30% used to that point.
You also need to look at the Held Awake stats because that will tell you what, if any, processes are keeping your phone awake and thus contributing to drain.
I have found that the system in Nougat does tend to use more battery than it did in MM. However, doze implementation is better and it deep sleeps more and does a better job of saving battery. In fact since Nougat, I've stopped using Greenify because it actually seemed to make my battery worse. Since I've been on Nougat I get well over a day on a charge with about 5-5:30 SoT. However, battery also comes down to what ROM and kernel you use and how much you do processor and screen intensive tasks. Music streaming doesn't tend to use much battery, but if you spend a lot of time web surfing, Youtube and games, you'll cook your battery no matter what. If you use the Facebook app, nothing you can do will help as it's a dreadful battery suck.
Here are the numbers provided by the GSam App
Are these numbers good or bad?
The average use gets me through the day but if I use it heavily, it would last 3hrs max.
