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 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.
OK so I have an issue. First of all I experienced this with the Express rom where I would go to work and not use it all day and somehow be at like 9% battery life. Then I flashed the ZR3D rom which I really like and on my day off, I had it off the charger all day - like 9 hours and it was still at 80% with wifi on all day. But when I went back to work it was at 14% by the end of the day... ZDBox showed that display took up 50% of the battery but these are the same settings I use at home... What is going on? I also have setcpu downclocking to 192 in both scenarios.

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.
Recently had some issues with battery life so went out and did some research asked some questions and i'm quite happy with the result.
Started at 95% Battery
Down to 10%
16h 17m 50s on battery
Screen time on: 3h 46m 49s
Wi-Fi been on for about half of that
Used Chrome to browse the web
Played some Angry Birds
Played some Bad Pigs
Checked Facebook/Twitter
Could improve this more i guess as i'm currently not running full battery profiles on Siyah but quite please. Just wanted to compare to others and see if its any good or not.
On a side note my mother in-law came round today check her stats 1d 12h on her phone and still had 40% battery on stock ICS lol but she only uses it to text/call.
I'm running omega Rom v29 with phenomenal medium kernel and powwersave mode on. I've Been using my phone most of day for calls light browsing and xda I'm currently sitting at 52 percent with 13h since last charge

to achieve insane battery life. useany JB based Samsung ROM. Freeze anything you dont use via TB. Then Flash latest perseus Kernal. set your phone to power saving mode. there no lag on power saving mode with his kernel. finally,drain your battery completely. turn it on, charge to 100. then turn off the phone, keep chARging to full. and use it for couple days, then report back

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can help. I have a stock S3 running 4.1.1 and for a while its been running great, but the past few days the battery drain has been quite fast and the RAM usage seems to be high.
In the past my battery would be very good but this morning it had drained 10% in about an hour with me only checking a few web pages via wifi (wifi was constantly on. And I have noticed that my RAM usage for the past 48 hours has been around 600-700mb when previously it was between 400-500mb.
I have used all the usual battery saving tips since I got the phone, sync off, location off, haptic off etc. I have uninstalled apps that were installed in the past few days but doesnt seem to have helped. This morning I have disabled S-Voice but not had any time to see if it has helped and RAM usage seems the same.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Also was wondering if apps like GSam batt monitor and advanced task killer/manager are worth using or whether they will just add to the battery and RAM drain.
Many Thanks in advance
Don't use google now. Sorted out my battery life

Google Now is already disabled. Just wondering if it's worth restoring to factory to see if that helps?

Might be some rogue app going crazy
