I hope I'm not inadvertently starting a thread that's been discussed before.
I'm having an awful battery life on my S3. I'm on ELLA (UK). It generally last me for the day which is sufficient enough, but I heard a lot about people having 2.5 days on battery with Siyah Kernel installed.
Question: what really is Siyah Kernel for? Does it really improve battery life? What are the setting to improve battery life with SK.
I've been using Juice Defender and while it definitely saves my battery, I'm making my supposedly "smart" phone dumb by not having push notifications and such.
Thanks.
There is a siyah discussion thread in general

Hi I'm a Indian user
Last week I updated my note3 to xxuenf3 firmware then I had very terrible battery life
I'm getting just 4 hour on screen sometimes I get 3 hours :crying:
Guys please help me to increase my battery life
I don't want to root my device
May post your battery usage page to see what drains that much. The more experienced guys here may correct me but i guess without rooting there arent too many options to safe battery.

thanks for quick reply
i had set brightness to auto (-5 level)
what about android system it also consuming more amount of battery
The more experienced people can say more to that as me. Specially with your desire to not root your phone. There are as far i remember serval bugs causing system to drain more battery but i think it was way more than. Maybe search arroubd here for that bugs for more info about it could not be too wrong tho

thank how to root n900 ???
then should i install custom rom for good battery life
Added link
There are serval threads about that. Just follow the steps within thread step by step and youll be good to go. But read up within the threads about consequenses and risks. You wont need custom rom an custom kernel will do good aswell. I have nice experiences with ultimate kernel. Important to know is you have to read up if the kernel/rom is confirmed as working with exactly your device. For example international note 3 = sm-n9005
Here is an excellent written guide on how to safe up some battery

all like v1.0 except some tweaks,special for permissive being set to default,so no need to change it by other apk,if you don't know how to control so many settings,just do nothing,all default settings are balance among powersave+performance+stable
Slow Charging
Any one else here experiencing slow charging? My battery even drains while charging. Didn't happen on stock kernel. I'm using Dr. Ketan's l21 on this kernel.
Thanks!
So strange?take away battery and put on to try,or use different cable while charging.

Please do add support for synapse in the next version.... I experience the same problem as this guy but mine is because of the charging port and I use synapse to adjust the charging input. Tried synapse with the two previous versions didn't work. And even synapse tutorial to enable it work on lollipop to no avail. Thanks in advance.
Can't run Benchmark on latest version
Good day folks,
Ever since I installed this kernel I cant run a Antutu Benchmark to completion. My screen goes blank and I cant restart without doing a battery pull. The freeze happens after the graphic test (at the end of the ships in the water) and is totally unresponsive. I'm on the latest version with the 667 all covers option selected.
Just reporting, it may be of interest to some.
Cheers.

I used wall chargers as well as 2 different cables from my laptop. The drain while charging seems to have become less but charging rate is rather slow. Also, if it is of interest to you, can you see my other post regarding the antutu freeze.
Thanks for everything!

Antutu related with many things not only kernel,try to reinstall your rom,then flash my new kernel 2.0,should be fine,I think.
1 -pekaka Kernel_v2.0-init.d|OC2.1G|UV|maxlock:600Mhz|all covers
2 -pekaka Kernel_v2.0-init.d|OC2.1G|UV|maxlock:600Mhz|sumsung stock cover
3 -pekaka Kernel_v2.0-init.d|OC2.1G|UV|maxlock:667Mhz|all covers
4 -pekaka Kernel_v2.0-init.d|OC2.1G|UV|maxlock:667Mhz|sumsung stock cover
[/HIDE]
Dear @pekaka, this is a noob question, I enumerated the op, what's the difference between 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 regarding maxlock the other thing are self-explanatory, would please explain... By the way I am using kernel adiutor, do you recommend to administrate your kernel?
CM 12
does this kernel support cm 12 and what would be best for powersave 600 or 667 ?

Well it works now. Only thing my benchmark is 42275 which is 8th place. I'm on Dr. Ketan l21 and no powersave, also on 667 stock cover. Is this a normal benchmark. It ranked at around 3rd on your first kernel with a score of 44885. Is this normal?
Works with stock Lollipop?
This is the first time I'll flash a kernel, so this will be a dumb question for many of the commenters but... Will this kernel work with my stock Lollipop version? Or will it only work with a specific ROM?
Thanks!
Fast Charge?
Need to be activated? Using Kernel Auditor?
Hello redmi 2 users,
I have written this thread to get to know the best battery backup for our small redmi 2
So i would like people here using different roms and with custom kernels to post their best battery backup
A screenshot Showing screen on time telling which rom and kernel with any settings for battery saving if you are using
This will help other redmi 2 users to get to know which rom and kernel combination helps in battery saving

Hello guys I just bought v20 second hand after my Huawei mate 9 broke I just can't deal with the battery drain the battery drains really quickly!! Without doing any thing that actually drains no gaming only browsing I lost 8% within 10 minutes wth! Any help or advice am already using force dose and greenify
I had exactly the same problem. It was a perfect phone with great battery life until I updated to Nougat. Since then I had to charge 2 times a day. I did some research on the net, LOTS of other users from all over the globe had the similar problem, and all of them experienced this after the Nougat update. I gave away my one (I mainly used as a DAP, not a phone), but the only solution might be to root it and revert back to older firmware.

The V20 came with Nougat!
True, i meant not updated to Nougat, but updated THE Nougat. After one of the updates this whole thing started.
