Marginal increase due to undervolting .The phone's 1280mAh is just not enough.
Also depends on user .I can stretch battery to 48/49 hrs and burn every last bit in 5 hours !!

does bluetooth work?
[BUETOOTH TROUBLES ARE RELATED TO AMSS_PHONE.KD1 AMSS_PHONE conks bluetooth.
I repeated it many times . And I am repeating it again. It's a custom ROM ,so if you are afraid of voiding warranty or damaging Phone or if you have any qualms in your mind ,stay away from them .
We hold no responsibility against any phone damage .
