evo3d comes with a task manager, check whats on and kill it. i do it often
Try watchdog.. it will notify you if an app is above threshold.

i had a similar issue, nothing i did helped out... i ended up doing a factory reset and it seemed to resolve the issue. i have most of the same apps i had before and im getting great battery life now.

Try using OS monitor from the market. Go through the settings, change the sorting method to "load" and watch for BS running that shouldn't be.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Turn auto sync off, that seems to help a little. Set task manager on home screen and use it every time you exit an app. The battery life on this phone is disgusting.

The only time I had really bad battery life was with the overclock kernal. I ghetto adb'd it to my phone around 12est and by 6pm est it was dead not low battery but completly dead. I poped the battery out reverted to stock temp rooted it without overclock now im back to the 12 hours heavy use 2 days with min usage.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

Hi everybody. Well I'm running ics Zen 1.2 and my phone seems to get really hot. I have bat stats widget and I will wake the phone up and it will be in the 90 degree range without doing anything. So I checked CPU spy and its mostly in 100mhz most of the time. So my question is are all ics roms like this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I've flashed a lot of ics roms and have never experienced that. How old is the battery?
Edit: you said that the cpu is @100mhz most of the time. Is that while it's disconnected from the charger/usb?
The phone should go into deep sleep when it's not connected to usb and not being used. I wonder if something is keeping the phone awake. There are apps in the market that can show you wakelock info.
Its weird because in standby my phone will be at about 90 degrees and if I get on it to watch YouTube or get on the web it shoots up to about 100 degrees in no time and I know its killing my battery. I have the new1800 mah battery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
100 degrees is nominal when it comes to high heat being bad for the battery. My old phone (Motorola XT720) was notorius for running hot, so I did some research about it and found that you really need to get worried when it starts to hit 50c or 120f+/-. This is when it slowly start to degrade the interior.
I got my old motorola up to 132f one time playing a wicked game of **cough**scrabble. I just backed out, closed the app down and let the phone sit for a few minutes. No harm no foul.
Just for a frame of reference, I have the MLB At-Bat app to listen to baseball games when I am at work and something about that app makes it run hot. 3rd year in a row I've had it and each year it runs hot when I am listening to a game. I have a temp widget on my home screen it and when I listen to a game it hovers around 104f. Knowing that 50c/120f is the danger zone, I don't worry about it too much.
If I can find that old thread of mine, I will post a link for you. Bunch of info in it but I can't search for it now.

ICS or GB doesn't matter...
I have a CDMA Evo since that will make a difference.
I'm currently lucky to get 3.5hours screen on in a typical day, that's with underclocking.
No rogue apps running around stealing datas. Just your typical screen sucking down the juice.
I have found underclocking and limiting CPU freq to 810 helped a lot.
But only 3 hours screen on is ridiculous. I need help. Serious help.
I keep screen on minimum brightness all the time too...
3.5 hours of screen on time is great for this phone with stock battery.

Not to sound mean about it, but there's no way with stock battery unless you're in airplane mode or some other shenanigans. Pics or it didn't happen.

If you turned the phone on and used it for 30 mins and then idle it for another 5 and 1/2 hours and it died... then something is wrong.
Rouge app causing wake ups 100% of the time?
Battery is a dud?

Sounds to me like the NSA is on to you my friend.
From the looks of your screen shot you have alot of things running in the background. Emulator, torrent and media servers drain battery quickly. I can get 2 days with my setup. But if I play words with friends my battery is dead in 4 hours. Some apps are just battery leeches. What Rom n kernel are you running.

Holy crap you have your screen on alot. What is your screen on time? If you are getting 4 or 5 screen on time, that isn't bad. Looks like your phone sleeps when screen is off which is good. I just think you are killing your battery with on screen time. Most people saying they get 1 to 2 day use don't have the screen on that much. I usually get 5 hours of screen time on 4g. However my 5 hour screen on time spands over 15 hours. Also depends on what you are doing when screen is on... Playing games drain vs checking email for example.

Another app you can try (which) is free, is CPU spy to check if you is staying or stuck in a high speed frequency, say 1600 mhz

Hi, I've been usin hox+ for 1 month now but I have a huge problem. I'm using stock rooted rom 4.2.2 and with elitekernel.
When the phone battery is on the %90 or %80 or some times at %40 the phone shutsdown and when I try to turn on it becomes %0 or %10 at the battery.
So i thought it caues because of my old kernel ( Speedy ) and I've flashed a new one ( eliteKernel ) . I tried installing different rom and see what happens. Still no change...
Some times it never happens but it normally happens a lot. maybe twice a day.. ıf any one had this kind of issue please let me know and if you have a solution please share with us. :victory:
Wait, you charge your phone (up to 100% of course), leave it sleeping and it shutdowns even twice a day?
There is a known bug with HOX+ with the battery level after the 4.2 update, but it's not that harmful as you described.

Do I see it right? The screen is on all the time? Why don't you simply charge your phone and leave it dreaming...
Have you checked if your phone goes into deep sleep with e.g. Wakelock detector tool?
Nope the screen is not on all time. I use it as a normal user. I dont know why doed it shows like that. I disabled the deep sleep because it disables the mobile network when the screen off.

Are you sure? Without deep sleep it drains your battery very fast. Re-enable it. Don't worry about mobile network. While your phone is in deep sleep, it will wake up from time to time, connect with the internet to check for new activities, disconnect and go back sleep.
Plus, deep sleep is something all smartphones users want . You are the first one whom I've met, which doesn't want deep sleep .
Reenabled the deep sleep and still the same. Dies at %40
