For some reason I can't seem to get life like that. It usually just drops down to 50% in about 4 hours with light usage for me. Idk hopefully the update fixes this for me

Other than that though, this rom is a beast :D

I don't know what you guys are doing, but I'm coming up on 19 hours on battery

Underclocked to 918 max, 384 min, ondemand gov

Screen off max 384, powersave gov

In call max 594

Undervolt by 75mV

I have yet to experience ANY lag with these settings, even while playing games.

And I don't think the battery drain you guys are experiencing has anything to do with the Sensation3 theme because I'm using it as well

3. Set FLAGS

i am sorry but i don't understand what is set flags?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaemionIX:
I understand that I have had light usage the last ~19 hours, but even on a normal day, I unplug at 3am, moderate to heavy usage throughout the day, and still home @ 130pm with 40% barring any rom switching. I'll snag some better screen shots tomorrow while I'm at work.

Of note though, I couldn't get this kind of battery life out of any other rom I tried with the same light usage, I'd be in the 20% range, which is why I thought it was worth sharing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Actually, I do read :

I was merely stating that in the meantime, rather than ask him " where's the update my battery sucks " , just flash the kernel in his kernel thread ....... problem solved. Instead of being counter productive, try helping others instead like I do :-)

the flags are what you put at the end of the filename before the file extension

You need to make that clear next time you "help", some may have not known if it was a kernel issue or a rom issue, this is common forum etiquette.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
This is the last time I'm saying a word on this subject.......

How much clearer can I be ?

This is EXACTLY what is in my previous post, however, just not in this format.

Problem : battery life

Solution : go to his kernel thread and flash the kernel posted alone there.

I don't need to go into specifics.... TDJ already stated he believes it to be a kernel issue..... reverting the kernel should in theory fix it without wiping and installing a different kernel/rom combo. Some people may already have their device set up the way they want ( which takes a ton of time ), and if its only a kernel issue, there is no need to flash a whole rom if its not needed ( unless his update has other fixes you need as well )

To everyone else, good luck and enjoy the Darkside ;-)

That's all your end. I listened to gmusic for nearly 2 hrs today and, yesterday. Not a rom problem. Try clearing the app data and see if that works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nandixon:
Hey Jordan,

I've been on this phone since week 2 of it's release and I don't think that's what the problem is. When you first see 100% appear that's not true 100% - it's 99.5%, or whatever. When you reach true 100%, i.e., battery charge of about 4200mV, that's when the full notification happens. So you're sticking at 100% when you get a true full charge, not because of the notification. Now, why it's happening and what to do about it.

Possible causes:

Any one or more of the following alone or in combination - a slightly defective AC charger, USB cable, wall outlet, (sensitive) phone, or corrupted firmware.

Possible fix (maybe temporary until you find the cause):

Download the little Market app called Battery Calibration, install it and charge your phone until you reach true 100% as measured by the mV reading that the app gives as being as close to 4200 as possible (= when it won't go any higher, e.g., 4195). Then click on "Battery Calibration" (and then ok), then pull out your USB cable from the phone. Use your phone continuously for at least 15-20 minutes and, if you haven't seen a drop to 99% by that time, reboot your phone and hopefully it should then be okay (or shortly thereafter).

I'm posting this in this section because this stuck 100% battery problem happened to me after I got an incomplete data wipe flashing Warfare with the -wipe flag even though this was from the root of my sdcard (posted about it a few pages ago).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmakk2055:
Its all good on my end
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
there was a thread when first came out. It ised to happen to me even with using the charger that came with it. It is a phone bug not ROM. If you are having constant issues id recommend exchange.mine always went away after reboot. if you have a spare battery id try that and see if there is something happenig or download battery callibrator, charge to full, then open battery callibrator and callibrate. Unplug from charger. Use phone until it dies completely and charhe it to full again. When its full try unplugging and see if the bug happebs again. Dont disconnect it while its charging the second time, jist let it charge straight to 100%.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
Its because AMOLED screens use more power when brighter than a comparable LCD display. The real power savings for these screens comes with dark pictures and low brightness settings. Without going into too much detail, tdj is right. Completely different display technology so the similarities are slim to none and therefore will act differently.

I must say it's the ROM I like the most. Unlike Juggernault that has too much extra goodies like the "music control" that's somewhat broken (my music is stopped but the control remains in the pull down), this ROM does just what I need and not a thing more not a thing less.

Thanks.

I have been flashing tons of ROMs and I think I can stop now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
System tuner works great. All values stick perfectly. Make sure you use 'after boot complete' instead of 'init.d' in boot settings. also watch the frequency bar in CPU settings and make sure it down scales. You can also check the times in system tuner to verify how long its in each frequency. Lastly check to make sure it writes to userspace. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_drew

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
Its very simple. Our device runs a script after the phone boots that overwrites certain values set from init.d. Hence the reason not all things stick with init.d scripts. I have tested this thoroughly with checking all values within userspace and I am 100% positive that not all settings will stick with init.d scripts because they get overwritten. Believe me or not but I can 100% prove my findings

Everyone please understand that no 2 devices expiernce the same exact battery life. Apps, usage, network, settings, and a bunch of other factors play a big role in how your device responds to battery. You need to determine a baseline for what the average battery usage is for your setup and then compare to that. There is no need to clutter the thread with "my battery drained 10% in an hour" and not even supply any information on top of it.. so battery life is on par and can't be determined within the first hour anyhow..
