Battery Guide!!

Well I decide to start this thread for us, to have a guide about wich ROM are we using and the battery average drain. Feel free to post you battery screenshots, and of course your information.
ROM
Average time
Percentage
Any tweaks.
Thanks!! Lets build some usefull information.

Hi,
I can only report bat usage on two ROM's since only used two till now.
JELLYTIME by Randomblame
Average time: about 13 hours
Wifi constantly on, mobile data also, average calls time between 3-4 hours, average of 1 hour of internet browsing, no gaming at all
Although it is a very good ROM, for me battery up time was a half that has with a stock ROM. It drains about 4-5 % per hour on standby
Any tweaks: No tweaks
CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies / M-Series by Mustaavalkosta
Average time: about 20 hours
Wifi constantly on, mobile data also, average calls time between 3-4 hours, average of 1 hour of internet browsing, no gaming at all
Battery time for this ROM is superb, I think it's a far better than a stock ROM. If I don't use phone much it can go 24+ hours on standby (Actuly I'm planing to do little experiment, to see how much will last on stand by only)
Any tweaks: No tweaks
Sorry I don't have screenshots
P.S. I think you should change thread title, since this is comparison between ROM's it's not guide for anything

If you guys are going to do this, it may be good to set more factors in. I.e.: age of battery, if on data, reception strenght and so forth.

Ok I 've got one of those 2450 mAh Gold battery's for my desire HD not sure if its the real thing or that high as it was only £7 on ebay but its better than my stock battery for sure.
I'm running AOKP 9/13 build with Sync on, Gmail push, some SMS ,Maps, internet, calls and running Android pro widgets for facebook and Greenify to kill Maps.
Today I have 57% battery after 9hrs 56m on battery
40 % screen
25% calls
15% standby
11% idle
6 % Maps
3% Android System
2% akmd (what's that?)
I think those stats are great and as good if not better than when I was running Mike's Android revolution HD 7.3.
Really pleased with AOKP very stable and no FC. Only thing is the proximity sensor works but sometimes must switch back on in a call, but I've heard this is a common problem with JB roms. I can live with that and I've heard of a recalibration app that might work.
BTW I use android pro widgets for facebook as I prefer it to facebook app and I'm sure it's better on battery life. Also less is more don't download to many apps, they bleed that battery with background maps and internet.

Battery life, Screen on Time always = 3 hrs

Hi everyone,
I have got my Oneplus Two ever since last September. It is a great phone overall. However, one thing that's bugging me is the battery life. I admit I am a relatively heavy user, but I can only squeeze out about 3 hours of screen on time out of it.
I thought earlier, maybe it is the problem of Oxygen OS (it overheats like hell as well). Then I switched to CM13 roms. CM13 does not overheat at all and is smooth all the time. But the battery performance is still not ideal. I would say it's probably just 10% better than OOS..
Any ideas on this? I don't care about warranty and I am an engineer .. should I maybe try to replace the battery? I suspect the battery is dodgy after lots of overheating in the OOS..
Thanks for advice!! Cheers.

3 hours heavy use is pretty standard for the phone. The phone doesn't let the battery get to dangerous temps so I don't think that's the thing. Android has always had kinda poor battery life at least when it comes to standby times. I'm on Seraphs CM13 and it seems to have a decent power consumption, maybe give it a try?

Thanks! I will try it out!

As Kirahvi said 3hrs are, more or less, normal for OOS 2.2.1 stock.. Now I'm using stock rom with boeffla (which allow underclock), Amplify and greenify.. and my SoT is about 5.30hrs!

3 hours is also the max I've ever gotten, though its usually a little less than that for me. I am a heavy user of my smartphones while I'm commuting on the train, because I have music on + constant screen on while surfing the web/facebook/twitter. And while I'm at work I have bluetooth connection to my Huawei watch to receive notifications throughout the day. Nowhere near the folks who managed to squeeze 4hrs - 6hrs SOT daily but overall still reasonable.
Battery life for me is the same on OOS and CM13. Standby time on marshmallow is a little better with the introduction of Doze, though it only works if your device is left stationary for a period of time.
I'd also like to point out that battery life is the same for me with or without the Facebook/FB Messenger app. Thats why I left them installed.

I got 4 hours if I tweaked the heck out of thing, reduced brightness and just managed power ad much as possible, but more often then not I was at 3.5 or less. I am using the Hydrogen beta and I get 4.5 without any effort and have even hit 5. You might try that too, I have tried ALL the CM13 ROMs it feels like, in fact I keep a backup of Seraphs nightlys as I like it so much better than hydrogen, but by far hydrogen gets the best battery life...and its not close.

More than 4 hours is just because people read a lot on their phone, 6+ hours I think you can easily reach that lowering the brightness, under clocking, never turn off screen and just let phone idle don't even touch screen never

Guys,what lot of people not really undarstanding,SOT its not really show you how is the battery,lot of else is playing in the background which is affecting your battery.
for example:
-celluar coverage(if you got less the perfect conennection its gonna drain your bettery,and no its doesnt matter how big city you living,more people,more house ,less coverage
-wifi (same as above,how good and stable your connection,as less the drain)
-kind of apps(which is more frequently sync,and connecting with gps ,those use more battery)
-How long is the phone without the charger(yes if you pull off the charger and living on the table always screen on ,using a bit and after 4h you uploding the stat,is it the same?? NO!)
Im living in central London with bad coverage,bad wifi connection all around,and from 9am till 1am I got around 3h SOT,which I think not bad with these condition.
So guys dont compare each other SOT ,couse every connections and condition is different.

Nougat rom with decent battery life?

I've tried maybe 5-6 nougat roms based on LineageOS along with a few different kernels, and battery life is far worse than on the marshmallow roms I've used (last one was Dirty Unicorns). Unfortunately, I don't any battery stats right now, but I regularly check battery stats on GSam and SOT and stand-by/doze is definitely much worse now compared to the marshmallow roms I've tried. I've played around with different kernel settings etc, but nothings has helped really.
How has battery life been on nougat in your experience? If battery life has improved with nougat in your case, what rom and kernel are you using?

Nougat battery life is about the same for me as it was on MM(@4.5-5 hours SOT on average).
I use Tesla with the included(stock) kernel. Here's a link if you wanna give some AOSP/non-lineageOS based ROMs a try...

Holy crap, 4,5h SOT!! Really? And that's with a standard 3000 mAh battery? Thanks for the tip, will try that rom. Could very well be that non-LineageOS roms have better battery life on nougat.

4+hrs of SOT on a 2013 phone is kinda ridiculous, unless you are reading Word files with everything turned off. I cant see anyone averaging that while using reddit,twitter,facebook,youtube, etc. Im a heavy user and i have 3-3.5hrs of SOT.

Na... 4+ hours is normal with location off, running on wifi, underclocked to 1958Mhz, using auto-brightness, a new battery from 2016, and using greenify to kill apps from running in the background. Of course, if I was on LTE watching youtube videos all day my battery wouldn't last as long, but that's not how I use my phone.
3-3.5 hours SOT is still pretty good, especially if you the Facebook app. That app is a notorious battery killer.

4-5 hours SOT here too. Same time with MM but now I'm on the AICP rom for my ls990 using standard kernel and clock speeds. Wifi, BT, and network data is always on. Only mod I'm using is a thermal pad on the SoC. Then again, I'm on my 6th battery so I'm not sure if that makes a diff.
At one time I had Facebook installed and it's messenger app. Together, they dropped my SOT to about 2 hours. Now that's ridiculous and offensive. I only use the Facebook website through the web browser instead, and that restored my SOT to 4-5 again.

I suggest you try facebook from Hermit, it brings down the data and improves battery. I tried it 8 months ago and im not going back.

Active battery drain

i'm getting an average drain of 9.5% per hour and i've tried different kernels , upon flashing the kernel for the first day i'd get about 8 or 7.7 ℅ drain per hour but after a day or two it jumps back up to 9.5 - 10 is this too much for active drain?? can this be fixed with a kernel or a custom rom? Btw i forgot to mention i'm getting this active drain at about 10-15 % brightness and i'm also running the latest franco kernel with no limits rom, i would really appreciate it if someone could help me out .

Wait, this means you are getting SOTimes of about 10 hours?

nope only about 8 hours because of idle drain i guess

You are talking about drain while the screen is on? That doesn't seem like a high number to me. You might be able to extend that by choosing the most battery friendly governor, under clocking the CPU or some other things that will make the performance of the phone suffer--but I'm not sure why you would want to waste money on a powerful phone and then throttle everything to maximize battery life. I suppose you could also go into the Developer Settings and severely limit the number of background processes that are permitted to run and also keep the phone running in battery saver mode most of the time. It's ultimately your phone. I'm sure you can find some tips for extreme battery savings if you do a Google Search.

I get about 7.5-8% drain with my screen on based on AccuBattery and about .3-.7% with idle drain (screen off). The combined drain is about 2.8-4% per hour based on usage obviously.
For basic info, I'm on auto brightness, stock OOS and stock kernel and I'm a medium/heavy to heavy user. I use my phone A LOT for work and play.
If you do a lot of web surfing, I found that habit browser is the most feature packed browser and the lightest on battery drain, and it's free with an ad blocker! So that could help some.

wow you must be getting amazing SOT, thanks alot for your help i guess ill have to try stock rom and kernel

which is sthe smoothest rom for battery life?

Hi, I didn't find a Q/A thread so I ask here.
I came from a rn4. I loved to use Los ext, it was one of the best rom for battery life. Now I am with miui 11 stock and debloated (I removed almost all ****), but still I m having a battery drain. In fact tonight it used 5% of battery in less than 8 hours with wifi and screen rotation only. I think it's too much!!
I red that some people can last their android battery up to 3 days with 4 hours sot, and I was stupified.
So which is the best rom at the moment for rn7, looking at: stability, smoothness, battery life, gaming, customization?
Does Mi app like themes, fonts, etc are removed normally in roms, and if yes, do developer create their own menu in setting for these things?
Who is using the Rom that will suggest me, which SOT you get and how much battery drain do you have in 8hours sleeping time with wifi only?
Thank you a lot! ?

When system running ok i got always the same sot on each rom i tested.
Stock Global, xiaomi.eu 10 and 11, pixelex 9+ and LOS16.
in each rom i mostly get 2 days with 6-7 h SOT.
battery drain over night in flight mode only 1-2%.
no big differences in the Roms for me.

That is still way too much for such a big battery ESPECIALLY in Airplane mode. It should NOT drain a single % of battery during more than 12h of idle, where as right now it can hit up to 10% for me, which is just unacceptable

For me, my phone doesn't lose any single percent of battery in 12h, in airplane mode

There are actually massive differences... IMHO one of the best ROM's is not even on XDA. https://os.revtechs.me

after a new install of LOS 16......
last 2 nights in airplane mode i didnt lost any percent.
first complete akku charce i got easyly 8h+ SOT
maybe old install was faulty....

HI, are you using some of them? How much sot?
It seems that rooting and using Roms on this phone is pretty useless on the battery side, because nobody talks about 9-11 hours of sot using roms.

Rooting is absolutely no problem and who ever presumes having 9-11 SOT is simply hallucinating... 7-8h is realistic... I don't even want to imagine how sad individual lives are being staring at a phone 8h out of a 24h day...
