battery life now and in the future

[uishido]

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!

Cheers,
Sebastian

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?
