[Q] Battery Life Advice?

[Slacker101]

Alright so I can't seem to get decent battery life on this thing (I just got it last Thursday). I tried paranoid android but that was pretty bad, as I sort of expected. So now I'm on AOKP with Franco's kernel (someone recommended it) but it really isn't much better... here are some screenshots. Any suggestions anyone? On a side note I flashed the hybrid 3 radios and I'm on verizon with LTE disabled, gps disabled, and wifi turned off.

Try Gummy rom with air kernel. It gives me 16 to 18hrs under medium usage. Other roms managed only 12 for me.

How much screen on time? I'm only getting around two hours max.

Two hours seems pretty typical. To get much more than that, you'll have to do some extreme tweaking. I use the OEM extended and I only get like 3 hours with medium usage. Heavy usage around 2.

Set Franco Power Mode to "Power Save"

Well, I'm also using AOKP M5 with Franco Kernel M4. And I used to have around 20-22Hrs of bettery, with 10% left of course, and 2.5-3 Hrs of screen time.

All I have done is to set Franco Power Mode to "Power Save" in Franco.kernel Updater App and I've set "Maximum frequency of screen off" to 384MHz. All the rest is untouched. I recommend to try this tweaks as they work good for me!!

Forgot to mention that I have an extended battery, the 2100 from Samsung.

Uninstall your task killer first and foremost. If this does not solve the problem within a few days, we can try other things.

Also uninstall that second battery monitor you have if you can live without it.

you should install betterbatterystats and cpuspy, might be an app causing the battery drain

Likely the task killer, but I agree with you.

I turned off my LED notifications, CM9/25 with the latest Experimental Trinity. Max 1190 Min 307 undervolt by 20. Ondemand/deadline. Screen off animation/off. Window animation scale/ Animation off.

On screen 2.25-2.5 hours and it dramatically improved the off screen consumption which has been a big problem for me. I changed the battery out last night at 11:30 and was at 93% at 7AM this morning. I have 3 exchange and 3 Gmail accounts and get mail quite frequently. That's my 2 cents.
