Try using this app, from play store, it disables the media scanner
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot

sometimes the media scanner stays blocked on one file which can't be readed. Just removeing that file can solve your issue. Try to make a backup somewhere and format your sd card, this should solve your issue.

Try recalibrating the battery with battery calibrate app ? If it's not helping you will need to flash a battery saver kernel :/

do you know a battery calibration app that is trustworthy ????....
I save the most energy when i am only in 2G network... ca. 1% per hour
sent from my xperia mini pro with jelly bean 4.2.2
Use only 2G, turn off wifi, synchro, data transfer, BT, GPS... But IMO 10% during night is normal. It's not huge battery drain Remember it's a smartphone, not just a phone
is there an app tha will help me to close the action of some apps whene i do not use them ..
for example i turn on the wi-fi and start to run the facebook app then i turn off the wi-fi ..
wen i go to see the apps that running there are running apps like faceboook , youtube , play store etc ..
is there an app that i will choose the apps that i want to stop running when i close the wi-fi or generally apps that i do not want to run at my phone ????
take a screenshot of your battery usage, so that we get to know what is sipping your battery juice!'
install app "juice defeder". it helps to save a lot of juice! try it for a week! and see! it will turn off ur wifi automatically when not in use, and when screen wakes up, it will again turn it on for you. it will kill apps that r not needed,.. the features are endless

thanks for the app that you said me but i want to ask you something does this app kills the action of running apps like youtube when i turn off the wi-fi ????
bro believe me, you wont need to do these closing stuff! install it, do the settings of this ap as per your requirements! it has a cool feature.
you can tell your device that i want my internet to work from 6am to 10 pm! after that it will automatically disable your internet! that saves the unwanted battery loss when you are sleeping! :laugh::laugh::good::good:
all i need is a thanks! fress thanks:laugh::laugh:

Try "greenify" or "autostarts" to stop autostartiong apps , for battery calibration try "battery calibration"
------------------------------------------
XDA rocks ! thanks to every member
Use better battery stats app to find out whats draining ur battery. Search in arc themes and apps for a thread by iridaki to properly evaluate battery life using better battery stats
P.S. Dont ask for links. Don't be lazy. Search

Please stop talking about battery calibration and transfer this myth or joke or whatever to new users. Or its stay with us forever.
Anyway 10% is not so much and you must calculate also with old of your battery and battery cycle count. + our battery is very little but in sleep giving same power like in big phones with big batterys. If you need more battery and need turn on mobile for alarm then use airplan mod. And if you need some very good manage app like you write use tasker.

I am using cm 10.1 legacy xperia nightly build 20130722 along with naa kernel v3.4.53 that came with the rom on my live with Walkman.....
and I have a big battery drain issue on my phone. In 1 and a half hour my battery reduces by almost 10% that too with only some normal usage like listening music etc...it cant be because of the apps since I haven't installed any apps yet other than gmail and hangouts. Other than this all the other features are working perfectly well and I love this rom....but if the battery keeps on draining like this I will have to change the rom...PLSS HELP ME..
also I read somewhere that the battery drain is due to kernel and not the rom...so should I chnge the kernel or is there any other fix for it..
I would have posted in the developer forum but since I am new to the forum I am not allowed to post there...
thnxx in advance:good:
Try to freshly install the rom. Or just install your previous Rom that worked for you the best.
Well...I'll try reinstalling the rom but I want to know what is causing this problem is it the rom or kernel..

thats because of wakelock bro, you can minimise it by reducing brightness, sleep at minimum(15sec)
if possible try to manually lock device it it wakes up
But I always keep the brightness to 50% and my phone does sleep after 15 sec of inactivity

Is your GPS activated? Just tap the usage graph to show more details.
I experience battery drain on that rom if GPS is activated once. Altough the phone says it's turned of, it still consumes a lot of battery power.
Here's the detailed report....

thats nothing new ... on this rom (all JB roms bcuz our devices arent maked for it and it still needs some big development here... )
but here some tips which i get more battery (i use JV-EX which is based on LX..)
- deactivate sync,gps,bt,rotation and activate only if u need them!
- i use gpu rendering in development settings - gives some battery..
- delete all useless (only if u know which app this is) apps in system/app (fast-dormancy.apk is a wakeclock from sony media apps from iiandskater.. )
- use the apps 'greenify' & 'disable service' to disable useless stuuf / wakeups at least u can also disaple some apps in settings to avoid them to start & wasting ur ram....
- NO OVERCLOCK !
- do some build prop tweaks! (from thread) helps also a bit..
-some (my) values in advanced performance setting's min/max centisecs = 500 ; i set dirty ratio to 20.. also ondemand semms to be the battery friendly cpu governor
hope it helps

It is a wakelock, because it keeps an eye on the data connection - keeps tracking, how much of the bandwidth is used. If less is used, power consumption is decreased for longer battery life.

The states, which were mentioned in the forum, which I linked to, apply to 3G/HSPA connection only.
It is not necessary for media apps, though it can guarantee continuous broadcasting (and make sure video/song gets loaded fast) and changes state when data connection is not necessary, in order to save battery.
Similar issue
Similar issue here.
I've Flashed CM 10.2 Legacy Xperia NIGHTLY along with the included Kernel (3.4.59-nAa) and some core Gapps couple days ago, and now i'm experiencing some heavy battery drain (Even with mobile data, wifi, gps off). Battery stats show, that most of the drain comes from Google Services.
The phone was going 100 to 0 in two to three days, now it lasts 6-7 hrs with almost no phone usage.
Any ideas what can be done?
Nevertheless, Thnx to all the guys working on this project - I like this ROM a lot. Everything seems to be working fine. :good:
EDIT:
Well, seems like I was looking for a solution in the wrong place and with the wrong keywords. After some time researching forum, i found out, that the drain is caused by some location service within Google Services, and the work around this bug is to switch WiFi location in google settings, and in google maps. For more information just search forum for "Google Services battery drain".
hey guys ...

My phone's battery used to get drained so fast since I bought it. Try to set brightness low, 3g-wifi-bluetooth-auto sync off. It makes my battery life a bit longer. Before I have to charge my device thrice a day and now it twice a day..

And dont disable system apps. Disabling those does not affect battery life but in my case those make my device a bit slow. U may try custom rom for those. See doc roms versions and try urself..

I'm not sure about the phone app, but you should try disabling some Google services with disable service or use Greenify donation edition to hibernate play services.

there is no problem with google play services, the phone app stays awake all time, even i dont use it,, the device dont get to deep sleep because of that ?
Any help ?
The mobile data and screen brightness are the biggest drainer of battery life by a mile.
I would only turn the brightness up on my phone when i use it then turn it down later.
You can restrict background data, this one is the holy grail in battery conservation. Unless you specify otherwise a lot of the apps that you have on your phone like Facebook Twitter and many many more will constantly try to connect to their servers to look if there is anything new to report. To do this hit you settings, Connections, Data usage, menu, then put a tick in Restrict background data to force your phone to stop syncing continuously.
:good:

I suggest you to install one or both of below free apps to monitor what is draining the battery:
- Battery Doctor(Battery Saver)
- GSam Battery Monitor
With the first one you can also set the option 'CPU Management=YES' so the phone can deep sleep
One the app is identify you can hibernate it to avoid running in background with the app 'Greenify'
Thanks.

Strange, maybe and issue with that specific S3 model.
I have tested CM, Slimkat, C-ROM, Carbon, Omegarom on S3 GT-I9300 and I haven´t had that issue,
battery life is better than the stock rom.
Maybe you can try to run a cleaning kernel script before flashing if not done yet.
Use the betterbatterystats app i mentioned before to find out whats causing the phone app to stay awake.
Its all good to say the phone app is keeping it awake but you need to find the trigger or service that is doing so. The screen shots you are providing are basic and do not provide this, you need a log from this app.
