Not trying to insult but those 5hours or more screen time is it "clocked" times. Means includes times that when u dont use ur phone u force ur screen not to screen off.
[Galaxy S II General] electricsheepdreamer:
If you're asking me if I kept the screen awake just to prolong the results the answer is no. I spent most of the day on XDA forum (dark themed premium app) and of course it would be shorter if I recorded video with flash but I thought it could be read from screenshots. Although I did record video in SD resolution for 1:30 minutes. And I have one more screenshot about display time.

I made this test (and not interested in any more of them) just to show what can be done with Siyah if you're forum/browser oriented user. Didn't want to lay too much with my screenshots but here it is.

I dont understand, sorrry. I plug phone into wall charger when i was at 5%with 7 hours screen time and remember to take picture.

I am now sure that exchange service that i disabled.from startup was that huge.battery hog.

I stopped samsung hub social,game hub,etc. Disable from startup exchange , gmail, maps.

Wife phone with same apps, apps disabled, services stopped except exchange manage 4-5 hours.

That why i think that exchange was the.culprit, even that i only use yahoomail with pop.

No, but my 6 .5 hours is very rare, but 5 hours is easy everyday.

[Galaxy S II General] electricsheepdreamer:
You can change peak on and off schedule for exchange service and if you left it as default 'every 15 minutes' it's no wonder.

But I believe Sir Greg speaks of this bump which looks like charging or thunder strike, I don't know.
[Galaxy S II General] electricsheepdreamer:
So is my 7. It happens only when I'm exclusively on XDA and browsing internet without heavy downloading.

Otherwise 5 is excellent.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
I did not charge the phone except when i hit 5%. I have another one at 1420 post with almost 7 hours.

Try this, disable location from settings, install android tuner, click startup and disable maps, gmail and exchange. Its not that my phone or setup is special, any of.us can do 7 hours.

Till i stopped these services i was like 4-5 hours or so.

And i disabled dormancy with gm tool, not only with code, because only with code dormancy shows as stopped but its not, use gm i9300 gplay apps.for that.

Ps, i have all schedulers off, mail push,etc.

What i do everyday on my phone, youtube, browsing, streamin hd content from Pc .

I will post pictures from my startup boot apps for anyone to test.

DorimanX v7.37:

I just flashed DorimanX kernel v7.37 on my XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0.

It is stable and smooth on my phone.

Everything seems to work fine so far (Exynos exploit patched, bluetooth, GPS, wifi, gallery, video player, camera, video recording, etc.).

It feels a little bit less smooth than Jeboo kernel ... but still smooth.

Especially opening STweaks app takes a long time ... there are so many settings.

This is an extremely high configurable kernel.

I will run battery tests first (as I am too curious and battery life is more important to me), and afterwards I will run some benchmarks.

It feels a little bit less smooth than Jeboo kernel ... but still smooth ... and slightly smoother than previous version (v7.37) IMO.

[Galaxy S II General] championc:
While governor and I/O scheduler is generally considered to be the best combo for long battery life ? Could Dori, Jeboo and Siyah all have different combos ? Or should I go with their defaults ?
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
They are all set by the developer as to which he thinks/knows is the best all round for stability, speed and battery.

You could effectively make it more battery friendly but you would probably have to sacrifice a little of the other two;)

DorimanX v7.38:

Very good battery life in night use.

Dorimanx v7.38 (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 0,54% per hour, Awake: 2,4%

Deep sleep ratio was not as good as for Siyah and Jeboo kernel ... maybe it's caused by the CORTEXBRAIN service, which is enabled by default. And I am running on completely default settings.

Let's check its battery life in mixed usage.

[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Ok mate, i'm no expert on them anyway:)

Maybe It_ler will have a look:thumbup:

*NeatROM*
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If you are on default settings and your approximity sensor works fine, the screen will be turned off automatically when you are in a phone call and somethng (like your head) is near to the sensor.

So you are right that usually, many phone/voice calls will lead to awake time while screen is off.

That's "wanted" behaviour to optimize battery life when in a call.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Update for DorimanX v7.38:

During my mixed usage battery test I recognize that the phone's CPU often stays at 500MHz ... while doing nothing but screen on :confused:

Maybe I have to check all STweaks settings if it is caused by some of them ... I saw an extra tab for screen off and screen on settings.

But I want to finish my tests on completely default settings first ... then let's play around with some STweaks settings :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Oh yes of course, the screen goes off when close to your head.

Great times mate but isn't this thread for stock only, no UV or UC?

Not taking anything away from your results Hilmesh but we can't compare if people are undervolting and underclocking.

Its good time but what do we compare it too?

Maybe Philz, jeboo and Dorimanx can do the same with the same set up?

If you can do the test with same settings on other kernels then that would be great and give us something to compare;):thumbup:

I meant every word :) When I go to sleep I don't turn of the phone because I know that the alarm won't go off.

Anyway I have set one alarm to ring every work day @ 5:20 AM, and another @ 5:35 (just in case) . Today the first one didn't ring ( it worked yesterday), but the second did.

How do I know that I haven't overslept the first one? Because (thankfully) I was awake at the time. It didn't happen earlier when I used Siyah or Jeboo kernel.

BBS dump looks quite good IMO :good:

Maybe you can tune the BBS app settings a little bit, as it has a quite long wakelock.

Maybe you can choose a longer update/refresh interval for the widgets, or remove the widget completely from homescreen (if you use a BBS widget).

And check the watchdog preferences.

The rest seems to be "normal".
[Galaxy S II General] kingusienka:
Guys, I wonder how you get so good battery life, especially screen on time over 7 hours even.

I'm on NeatROM Lite 4.0 and Dorimanx v7.38. Yesterday my battery was 10% after 5-6 hours since fully charged, and screen on time was only 1, 5 hours!

I'm on such settings:

- ExTweaks boot the mobile with battery saving mode

- SetCpu profiles: default 200-1000; screen off 200-500

- Lowest brightness

- Samsung's power saving mode ON

- Display OFF after 15s

- All GPS settings OFF

- 3G Data Transfer ON cause I was unable to use Wifi

- FD disabled, as my mobile carrier does not support it.

When I turn the Wifi ON and do not use 3G Data Transfer it's only a bit better. When using mobile, battery discharges around 10-15% per hour. Which gives around 10-12 hours on and screen on time 2-3 hours.

I have WiFi set never to stay active when the screen is off.

Please tell me guys, what do I do wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Please install and use BetterBatteryStats (BBS) app.

Reboot the phone, leave it for at least 4 hours idle, then create a dump file in BBS and post it to the BBS thread.

There are some "experts" who will have a look at it and may give you some advices what to optimize.

Good luck !

@It_ler

What about the modded Siyah by xda user mcm811 ?

sourceforge.net/projects/cm10i9100vsync/files/kernel/

With this kernel I have a superb DS ratio (over 98%) and it is supersmooth. The basis of this kernel is Siyah 4.1.5 and (what I use) 5.0.1

It runs also on CM10.1 but not on Samsung's JB leak

I think that there will also be a custom Siyah 6 version when it is finished by gokhanmoral.

I opened a thread on german Android Hilfe Forum:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?t=361513

Maybe you will give this kernel a try ;)

By the way longtime I used Dorimanx but now this Siyah is my first choice :)

It_ler is testing the kernels on JB Leak and 4.1.5 or 5.0.1 are not compatible with JB Leak version so he cannot test it ofcourse :P
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
That is terrible, i get an average of 5.5hours screen on and about 20 hours phone on with stock battery and default settings, no powersaving at all.

Change extweaks for Stweaks as extweaks is not supported anymore.

For now just put everything on default settings.

Turn power save off.

Put screen timeout to 30 secs or 1min as everytime you touch the screen to keep it on it makes the CPU jump to 500+mhz so the less you have to keep touching it the better, so in actual fact 30 secs or a minute will save more than 15 secs!

Go to settings - location and make sure all 3 are off not just GPS.

Install Better Battery Stats and make a 4 hour or more dump and post it in BBS, they will then tell you what is draining your battery.

Autostarts or Gemini app manager (free app) is a good app to have to stop things like Maps starting on boot.

Do not touch system apps or anything you don't know but just for the purpose of this test just disable maps (turn all off apart from 3rd one down and the 3 at the bottom.

Turn off "on boot completed" on exchange and email.

Remove as much bloatware as you can, just things you dont use, all Samsung apps and Gmail, google+ are good to delete.

Facebook, twitter etc just bookmark them in browser instead of having the app:thumbup:

Whilst in browser set brightness to 15% max as browser has its own brightness setting. ( I see no difference in battery time if i have at 0% or 15%)

Put email & all syncing on manual.

In wi-fi settings - advanced turn off "notify when network available"

Get rid of widgets and use dark wallpapers.

After all this charge to full and then reboot your phone just before you take the charger out.

Come back here after a cycle and tell us what times you are getting.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Nice idea ... but not the first one modifying this excellent kernel.

I was close to test this kernel when I was on stock ICS ROM.

Since I am very satisfied with my current JB ROM, I won't go back to ICS ... and I don't plan to flash a custom ROM which is vey different from stock (such as CM10).

So I will keep focused on the kernels which are compatible with the stock JB ROM(s) ... in the near future.

Maybe sometime when there will be no future update for SGS2, I will test custom ROMs. But not now.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion and keep up your goo work on AndroidHilfe :good:
