Battery life terrible on AOKP - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I know it isn't a complete ROM yet, but my battery life drops about 1% every 30 seconds with the screen on, and 1% every 2 minutes with the screen off. A lot of people are saying that their battery improved, however mine is a lot worse. Does anyone have any battery saving tips for AOKP? If so, thanks.

Sorry for the nooby question...but is a modem the same thing as a radio? Lol i tend to stay away from flashing radios and stuff like that because there's alot of people complaining about bricking their devices. Thanks for the help

Not sure how people are bricking there devices just by flashing a radio...but ya ey are the same thing.

Ok yea i dont know...i thought i remembered that happening somewhere but i guess not...anyway ill try that in a bit thanks!

To me you would think you just wouldn't have any service if you just flashed a radio that is different but it's just like flashing a rom like galaxy note rom on our device. It wouldn't play nice it isn't compatible so there for its a hard brick then you got yourself a nice looking paperweight lol

Nothing special...no JD, all on 4g, sync is always on, and on stock battery. I have another stock battery the gnex extended on standby. I use an external battery charger and just rotate my batteries. That I believe has helped me.

Exactly, Those stats dont post the actual usage in any meaningful form. If it really wanted to give real info it would tell you how much cpu time those processes used.

Battery better on 4g or wifi?

So I'm using the jugernaught 5.0 from with the streamline kernal. Basically I'm using streamline because I wanted to save battery but i noticed something weird on 4g I'm only getting about 18 hours max with a galaxy nexus battery with wifi on I get around 30 hours. I thought wifi drained more battery. Also this is with about 3 hours of screen time. I've done several test. So firstly does wifi use less battery secondly what a the best kernal for gb right now?

Wifi always gets better battery. Just don't leave it on if you're not using it. I prefer darkside

4G is only used when it's needed. Wifi auto scans at intervals wasting battery if you leave it on all day. Wifi is better while in use.

Wifi definitely improves battery life, if you turn your radio off that is or use wifi calling.

you should probably just let your friend do research and find his own custom rom. So much can go wrong when modding a 3rd partys phone when the person flashing doesnt even know what they are looking for. My advice, just leave it stock. To get better battery life you have to make the phone do less.
Ive been there, with that phone call at 2am "how do I fix my phone, its acting weird?"

Well the one I use is pretty much the Deep Sleep Battery Saver. And tweaking a few settings should do the trick.. Hope that helps..:thumbup:
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There is no app for replacing a worn out battery.
If your phone is a year old or close to it, if your a flashaholic, you need a new battery.
Remove your battery and place in a flat surface, if it wobbles and you can spin it like a top, you need a new battery.
Make sure you spin it clockwise! !
If you spin it counter clockwise steve jobs will poltergiest out of your oven and eat your Epic Touch.

Battery life...

Okay I've been reading reviews on people getting 20 hours on battery with the same usage as I am, but my battery dies around 12-15 hours which I think is pretty good. Well I'll post up screenies to show you guys. Just checking if my battery life is normal before jumping ahead and buying a new battery.

May I ask how battery life is on AOSP roms, like cm?
So what's the overall way to increase battery without disabling the awesome features of this phone? I read in this thread to over charge for an hour or two, but in another thread it says not to over charge the battery... I'm confused

It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.

I just set up my galaxy s 4 to do the same, I'll try it for a few days. I just use tasker to set it to turn off internet unless I have an app open which requires it.
You can set it to turn on internet and sync at intervals too.
I didnt really change anything. Shut off all features. Brightness like 25%. But I did underclock to 1.3ghz. Which stilll ran really smooth.
