I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like way more than that. I can certainly type a couple paragraphs before my % drops at all. You sure haven't installed something else? If not you could have a defect.? Possibly return it and get a new one?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

I have all of those apps except for battery indicator. I get about just over a full day. I would say turn off Wifi Sleep Policy and see if that helps.

I've had it installed for a while But started using it as of late. GPS fails all the time now though for some reason. Idk. But its kind of frustrating

I have the same issue and i run system app n it doesn't show anything abnormal running. Its awfully frustrating i went from being good for 18hours to being in the red after 12 hours. I dropped 2% just writing this. I have only 84% left after 1.5hours this morning...and I have no service during my 1hour commute so I haven't used it. Standby is killing my battery.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I guess we can safely say it is foursquare widget draining the battery then

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.
Does anyone know why i only get decent battery life with stock rom?
Every rom i try stinks for battery except eb01 stock rom.

I normally don't do this but I have seen this question 5+ times in the past 7 days. Do a search my friend.

My suggestion...
is to try Nitro's EC01 Rom, as well as Nemesis2all's updated kernel (Which gives you the ability to change volt settings, speed, etc) which can really improve your battery life.
Ya I would say try Nitro's Evil Fascination ROM and Nemesis2all's kernel as well. My battery life is pretty good without messing with the voltage. If you're still not getting great battery life you should a) download Juicedefender. The free version does an amazing job for me or b) do some research and try to adjust the voltage settings.
I just started using Active Apps from the market. I guess it's a Samsung product that you can use to replace Task Manager. Whenever I don't use it, my battery drains real quick, and without a specific pattern. When I use Active Apps, and use the Ram Manager level 2 kill, my battery drain instantly gets much lower. 5 hours unplugged yesterday only drained my battery like 11%. Compared to up to 30% otherwise. Hope this helps others too!
Try the app "juice defender " in the market. It makes my battery last 2ice as long

How long after battery calibration should I see a difference?
I need to reiterate what has been said: first, install Juice Defender and learn to tweak those settings, it's well worth it. Second, undervolt that puppy with Nemesis2all's latest kernel. At idle, my phone might last 48 hours [not tested].
I only ask because when I recalibrated my battery (charged fully, wiped stats, drained battery, fully charged with phone off) my battery life is worse

I update OTA last week on Verizon to Froyo 2.2. My battery was overheating and draining like crazy from my CPU usage being at a constant 99%..
I found the source of the problem. An app I use for facebook called "FLOW". The CPU usage was cut to 20% when I killed it with "Advanced Task Killer".
I resolved the issue by: Opening Flow.. going to Preferences.. Notification Settings.. Refresh Type.. Checked Periodic Polling (I was using Gmail Experimental previously)
Hope this helps...
So here's the thing. I'm current running stock froyo, KB5. It's rooted. Using Overstock Kernal (over clocked to 1200 when running, 400 when off, and 1000 when charging). Has build prob edits. Using TWZ 4.5.
I want to use my phone for data. A lot (i get bore at work and i don't have the interntz).
Here's the thing. Without data running i get excellent battery life. With wifi enabled i get awesome battery life. However, with 3g enabled, my phone is useless. I basically get 4 hours of continuous use and then im dead.
Any ideas what could be causing battery drain.
Sounds perfectly normal. It takes a lot of battery taking in data...imagine how the Galaxy S 4g battery life is? I can hardly get through a school day with my data on. So I turn it off everytime. Also try recalibrating your battery.
Might be your build.prop settings or your modem, or maybe you dont get good signal at work?

Thats the way it is with cellular data. Get a bigger battery pack or plug it in. Trying to communicate with a base station, that who knows how many miles away, is not the same as the wifi router next room.
Try different rom and modem an see which one gives you best results an try using Edge an wifi

Give the Bali kernel a try and check your build.prop edits. If they're the data signal ones from Master&Slave's thread, I remember an issue where they could drain battery.

Could you tell me which lines cause the draining problem? I just added those tweaks to my build.prop.
i was having really bad battery drain on CM7...i tot of flashing kernels to improve batt life and what not
until i recalibrate my batt....it goes 7hours and still left with 25% of batt... before it was 4 hours max from my batt life...
Is there any reason my optimistic v on stock, cm7, and ics Roms has absolutely horrible battery or does everyone's. Mine lasts about 6 hours even without use. In about 4 hours no use at all It goes from 100% to 50%.

try using different kernal settings. For example, my battery life sucked when I used "ONDEMAND" but I get about the same performance but WAYYYY more battery on "INTERACTIVEX"
Also, try keeping your data off if your not using it
Not sure why your battery is going so fast. I'm running stock ROM, have data, wifi, gps enabled and my battery lasts me all day. If I barely use it, I may still have 60% left when I plug it in at night.
I have my phone rooted, I've used ROM Toolbox's autostart manager to disable several apps from loading on boot, my kernel is stock and still set to on demand. I also generally have my brightness turned down.
Not sure if any of these help.
Been noticing that my gs3 uses a lot of standby power. Some times up to 30-40% how can I prevent this? I am rooted and I run advance task manager

is your phone on standby a lot? the meter is the % of your used-up battery that has been used by that process. i.e. if your phone sits on standby for "30%" and the battery goes down by 10%, 30% of that battery decrease (3%) is from standby.
gentlyr from
based on how you use and how often you use the phone, it may be normal.
for example, i'm at 30% on standby but my phone has been on for 5.5 hours and i have 80% charge. most of my usage today was checking emails and reddit but very sparingly.
Are you in a plce where you have weak signal? When this happens, your radio/baseband struggles to find a stable connection or signal, thus sucking more juice out of your bettery and causing your phone to be on standby mode a lot more.
Flash my ROM - here, prob fixed!

This. With weak connection your phone will be using more battery to find a signal. Check your status to see what % of the time you are without signal.
I was down to 18% after 16 hours with 34% use on standby. I use advance task manager. I belive its custom rom time. I want jellybean. So I must wait.
