I just installed Viper this last weekend and I got 60 hours on my first full charge with light usage. I don't think I even tweaked anything on the ROM or screen settings, and this is just with whatever kernel came included with the ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
That sounds absolutely amazing - what app are you using to set frequencies/voltages? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
How do you get 6+ hours screen on time. I can get over a day total but only 3 hours screen time
[HTC Droid DNA] Mnorton1228:
I'm getting 16-20 hours with around 4 hours on time. I'm underclocked and undervolted , brightness at 25% most of the time, and I just supercharged my phone so I'm waiting to see if that'll help it. I know I've got my standby battery drain down to one percent every 2.5hours. Left it off the charger last night and it was at 98% when I woke up 5.5 hours later. Just gotta play with the settings and tweaks.
[HTC Droid DNA] rndchef:
So what is the deal with Sense 5 Battery Saver? Do I need Battery Guru as well? CPU Tuner?

Is keeping Wi-Fi on all the time better for battery?
[HTC Droid DNA] KennyMcC:
I get good battery life most of the time. But I am at the ball fields with my kids a lot with no way of charging mine or my wife's phone.

So I got me an Anker portable battery and it saves me all the time. I purchased the Astro E4 13000mAh Dual USB so me and my wife can charge our phones at the same time without looking for a outlet or going to the car. We can both charge our phones 3 times each on this thing before its dead.

[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
As far as battery life is concerned, wifi > 3g > 4g.

But if you're not connected to a wifi network, leaving wifi on will drain your battery. It may not be by much, but I always turn wifi off when I'm not on wifi.

ROMs are lifesavers for anyone who prefers battery life over anything else
[HTC Droid DNA] spikeyjohnson:
I've been using the viper Rom 1.3.3 with the crpalmer kernel. So far I'm at 79% for the day and just took this ss right before posting this. Battery life US much better on this Rom compared to the nos m7 (sense 5) rom, and much better than stock or my old thunderbolt.
[HTC Droid DNA] spikeyjohnson:
We should all also include our rom build and kernel so that people who go through this thread are able to see what roms other's are using and pick based on our selection if they choose. If I had found this thread I would have know which rom to go straight to instead of messing with Nos M7. I loved sense 5 but I needed to have my phone last a whole work day and then some.

Viper 1.3.3 with the 3.4.49-crpalmer-2.0.34 kernel
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
When i was on nos the battery was stellar. Laster 15 hrs with 3–4 hours on screen time.
[HTC Droid DNA] Johnson90512:
I'm on nos now but I get about a drain of 5% per hour idle. I have Batteryguru as well. The one thing I didn't do, that I did when I used to flash my old thunderbolt was to clear battery stats when flashing a rom, I haven't done that this time, mainly because I forget where to do that at. What am I doing wrong? Love sense 5 though.

did you flash this Kernal after you flashed Viper?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

did you flash this Kernal after you flashed Viper? If so can you provide a link to the Kernal?
[HTC Droid DNA] spikeyjohnson:
Links to Crpalmer kernels

Yes, I flashed this kernel after flashing viper. Whenever I update Viper, such as 1.3.3 to 1.3.5, I reflash the kernel. A link to the forum where the Sense version of the kernel can be found is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2137293 . This specific version of the kernel is for sense based ROMs but there is also an AOSP version by Crpalmer which can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292213 .

Happy flashing!
[HTC Droid DNA] donnyp1:
Stock, rooted, stock kernel, pretty heavy use. I get fantastic lifr with this and never turn anything off.
[HTC Droid DNA] flashhsalf:
Thanks for the link, just few basic questions.

I installed the 1.3.5 Viper rom and download the Kernel from the 1st link as the 2nd one mentioned it only be used on CM ROMs.

Do I need to do anything specific or should I boot into recovery and flash this? Do I need to wipe / clean anything while in recovery?

I'm on 2.06.605 build.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
I think the battery on this phone is vastly underrated. Considering all factors HTC has done a good job on it. One day is never an issue here.
[HTC Droid DNA] flashhsalf:
I think its a hit and miss with the battery performance. Like the guy how posted few posts back getting 10 hours @ 43%. There is no way in hell I got that when I was stock.
[HTC Droid DNA] Infinite Jest:
Yeah, android in general seems to be all over the map in this regard. Regardless, the battery life has definitely been adequate for my purpose.
[HTC Droid DNA] spikeyjohnson:
You should only need to flash the rom. No need to wipe or clean anything.

1. What is supercharging?

2. How did you get the standby drain so low?

3. What do you use to manage cpu and voltage?

Just stock DNA...w/ Nova Prime
[HTC Droid DNA] Mnorton1228:
1.) Look up V6 Supercharger. It doesn't really do much for the DNA since it is already such a beast of a phone. I was just experimenting.

2.) I use BatteryGuru, Tasker, Lux and Greenify to control my phone. BatteryGuru supposedly controls them (I could probably do away with this app all together honestly), Tasker controls my phone states (for instance I have it set up to completely turn off all radios once the screen is turned off and to automatically turn them on when the screen comes on. I also have it set to automatically turn wifi on once I get home and to automatically turn 4g on when I leave home.), Lux just controls my screen brightness, and Greenify hibernates all of my apps.

3.) Look up crpalmer's kernel. I used his prompts in the command line to adjust my voltage and cpu speed. I use kernel tuner to look at the settings in real time though.

[HTC Droid DNA] flashhsalf:
you gotta provide more info than just the screenshot. I'm sure many of us want to know how you got 3 days!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bcreed26:
I get 16-18 hours of use with just shy of 3 hours of screen time. By the time I get home from work (10hrs) I'm around 60% (about 1hr of screen time). I use the phone pretty heavily the rest of the night. My days go from 7am to 11pm, and when I plug in I'm in single digits. I do nothing fancy, no games, mostly internet, YouTube, music and social media.

I am on The People's ROM GS3.17 5/11/13,

I am using KTweaker's kernel, and ever since I install the ROM (coming from an AOSP ROM), I'm getting these wakelocks and it's super annoying. My phone used to deep sleep like a baby and now nothing does!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well the answers simple. Uninstall Battery Guru.

In my experience it doesn't really do anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
I had the same issue and once I uninstalled Battery Guru it was fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I third the advise uninstall battery guru and its not that it doesn't do anything, it does it keeps doing things in the background keeping processes running and using resources and battery.

Okay but what other applications should I delete? Battery Guru is only a recent installation (as of 2 days ago)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
Anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well from the looks of it, that and the weather widget are giving you the most wake locks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
But I like it! And the default one is way worse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'm just reporting what I see. It's up to you to decide what you actually end up doing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wallythander:
You have Beautiful Widgets too, maybe you could use that instead for weather. There are a lot of skins for the widget. Also Lux seems to be waking up your phone a lot, perhaps you could get rid of that too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
But Lux is a battery saver isn't it? It periodically adjusts the brightness levels (it's not like auto-brightness)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Turn auto brightness off and set you screen brightness to the lowest possible you can tolerate. Any app that is running is a battery consuming app. Also BBS should be frozen if your not using it to diagnose an issue the least you have running the better off you are.

Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I had really bad battery performance when I was using Lux. It does seem to adjust brightness levels in an adequate way, but if I recall correctly, I was getting a lot of wakelocks when I had it. So while it probably was saving battery due to better screen usage, it was killing me in the deep sleep department.

Just my experience with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
I will do that then for sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
I could suggest Greenify for your installed apps (not system apps). But with the alarms it looks like you set alarms in your stock clock and on your 3rd party clock which is what could cause some wake locks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] anubis2k3:
So I keep getting these wake locks when my phone should be in deep sleep. Caused my phone to drop 25% over night with no activity. I've done research on it but most of it says that this app is for your apps that sync. I've checked my syncs and everything seems Ok. Is there anyone that can shed a little more light on the subject?

Hey all,

I have compiled a video detailing the steps required to install CM10 onto the Hp Touchpad (starting with Web OS 3.0). I thought it may help a few users out and thus wanted to share it with the community:

[YOUTUBE]ktpm51fXf9s[/YOUTUBE]

The links that I used to acquire the CM10 packages in the video are found in the description of the tutorial on Youtube (unfortunately I still cannot post links here). You may also want to skip to 2:20 in the video as the first minute provides a brief overview of the device. I hope the tutorial is helpful! :)

Re: Update

As it turned out, this was an information that I was not connected to an USB v2.x port, but an old 1.1

After moving the cable to the USB 2.0 port, I rebooted the PC, and started upgrading again. This time with success.

The Rom update works with my Qtek9090 - but the BT is the same version (1.3500) as can be dowloaded elsewhere on this forum.

Jabra 250, still gives problems, as connection variate from full power to zero power even when both devices are kept still at a table.

So a new BT version that works properly with the headsets are still a miss.

Thats what I mean, if you already have installed BT 1.3500, the is no difference on the Bluetooth radio.

But, I now get that Bluetooth will not initiate without a softreset, and if I do that in the craddle, it keep getting the message, so perhaps a new error was introduced - It could be my Qtek also however :roll:

I will not update my wife's Qtek 9090 to this release, as I see no really difference, and do not want to do all the work.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] WataruFujii:
Hello I'd like to know if exist any other official version before CM9 and where I can find it. Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
No official CM exists for galaxy w. Not even CM7.... You can find all official CM info on their website.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] WataruFujii:
Oh OK and where can I find the 7 or 8 version? And they are released by Arco also? Like 9-10-10.1? I'm just looking for an earlier version of cyanogenmod that is completed. But I still don't like the last three versions.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
AFAIK there is no CM8... And for CM7, I don't believe ARCO ever built CM7 for galaxy w. There is a CM7 port in development section if I remember correctly. It is not from ARCO and it had some bugs....

May I ask why you don't like the last three versions. CM9 is pretty much bug free and quite stable. Even CM10 is pretty stable and currently using it. It is stable enough for me for daily use.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] WataruFujii:
Because they drain too much battery and after some period they start to give some problem. At the beginning they are awesome but after they're not pretty good. I always do pristine to make things go better, but I just want a stable rom that is only faster then the original one on my galaxy w. And the cm's rom are not satisfying me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
If you don't like sir arco's work, you can just use stock rom, which is samsung's work. Just don't put a bad comment, not stable enough or what so ever. I don't know why you still feel that cm9 also not stable enough. I think all the cm9, cm10 and cm10.1 are all very stable and very good for daily use. But if you don't satisfy enough, and i don't know what will make you satisfy, just make your own rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
OK first of all cool down a little bit. Everybody has different needs and what maybe stable for you might not be stable for somebody else. For me I had reboot issues for a very long time with CM9 but so many did not. But with the latest releases, bugs that bothered me disappeared.

And don't blame people for searching alternatives to satisfy their needs. And not everybody has development skills to built roms.

Sometimes I don't get you people. CM is not a religion and arco is not a prophet. I don't get why you people are so serious.

I am grateful that ARCO developed CM for us and I can't thank him enough. But gee it is just a phone and a ROM.

My suggestion to you is to CHILL...

I don't think ARCO needs your protection and his work speaks for itself.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Okey, sorry about that. Not that arco is a prophet, not at all. But i don't get it why people can't be grateful for what they got. Sorry for burst out. I just a little mad at that time.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No, Arco is no prophet, just human like you and me. There you are right. He is a very smart guy who deserves a lot of thanks for porting CM9 to this device.

You just must understand many people are really really very thankful to him and sometimes overstating by threating him like a god.

I for myself also do not understand why CM9 isn´t working stable for you. It´s a really stable rom. Way more stable than Samsungs stock ROMs. With these I had always random reboots. That´s not the case since using Arcos CM9. Maybe it´s some apps you are using or your SDCard causing this.

Ok, but to be honest regarding stability in the final release I can´t tell. I was using RC2 with it´s older kernel till now because of the battery drain. it was running absolutely stable for me without any issues plus it gave me a awesome battery life, so I compiled my own kernel where i reduced it further. So if you are not satisfied with the final, you can try RC2 or RC3 together with my kernel. It gives way better battery life than Samsungs stock ROM will ever offer you.

However I updated last night to the final release and the battery drain appears to be the same like using Arcos CM9 RC2 with its stock kernel. So if the results will satisfy me, I will stay with the final and build a new personal kernel for it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] WataruFujii:
I didn't say I don't like his work. I totally respect him and his work, cause his work is really awesome. But it still don't satisying my needs. I need only something faster then the stock rom and something that doesn't drain my battery out.

So if anyone could reccomend me somethin to use I would be very grateful. And BIG RESPECT for arco's work!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
Most of the latest ROMs are based on ARCO's CM versions and I believe they will perform on the same level. However some of them may have some extra customizations to improve battery and performance etc. You may want to check their threads and see their features. Also there are some custom ROMs based on stock Samsung Roms. (Gingerbread) Like FAW, rebel etc. They may have custom kernels to speed up the phone.

When was the last time you tried CM9? Because as [MENTION=4410351]honeyx[/MENTION] noted, the latest version does seem to have good battery performance and stability.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] WataruFujii:
Now I'm using the cm 9 rc 9. I didn't try the final release yet. Because I'm bored to pristine every time my phone. I will try it. But I don't mind if the rom's are based on CM. I just want any rom that is more fluid than the rom stock and that doesn't drain my battery. And which one would someone of you reccomend me. Anyway I will try the last version of CM9!
