Im guilty. Ive had posts on here about poor battery life. My phone isnt even a year old and the battery life just had become horrible. To the point it was 2 recharges per day.
I blamed the OS and updates because it just didnt seem like the battery should be gone. I was getting 9-10 hours on average.
I know we have a lot of battery life threads and I absolutely love this phone but mine is not getting good battery life. I'm an advanced android user, I know it well and I do know that some devices just have bugs which kill battery life.
I unlocked my phone, rooted it and installed Fish n Chips ROM.
My phone seems to have very poor battery life. I fully charged it to 100%, unplugged it, played a game for a very short while and I lost 10% battery withint 10-15 mins.
The battery just seems like a time bomb that doesn't last very long at all.
I've only had the phone 2 days now...
First, here's the constants: I keep wifi/BT/GPS on 100% of the time. This was true when battery life was good, and now that battery life is bad. Disabling these will improve battery life, but will not fix my problem.
When the phone is sleeping overnight, I used to get 8-12% battery usage over about 8 hours.
I've seen lots of battery life forums, and most of them show great battery life (over 12 hours) with lots of screen time. I'm not even in an LTE area, but I get very good signal. My screen brightness is at about 30% and I have two e-mail accounts (Exchange push and Gmail sync).
So I was getting very poor battery life on my Galaxy S II running Cyanogenmod 9 stable. As shown on the screenshot, my battery lasted only about 7 hours it requires a charge. I wasn't running a live wallpaper nor I was running any intense app. I tried to calibrate my battery but there was no improvements. May I know what's wrong?
So I usually get pretty decent battery life, as in it lasts me from morning until the evening, although it's just about out of juice by the time that I get home from work. For that reason, I picked up the extended battery last week for $25. It works great. I still have about 35% remaining when I get home now.
I'm looking through this thread and deciding, which ROM should I flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1832891
Can somebody recommend me stable, smooth ROM with good battery life? I've already tried CM10 and AOKP, but I wasn't satisfied with poor battery life which these ROMs offered me.
Hello everyone. I have had what I consider good battery life foe the duration of my SGN. I have had the extended battery for about 6 months and been through several ROMs over that time span.
