does anyone know how I can get it to sleep properly when the screen is off? I'm having major battery drain and even with battery calibrator it still drains 8-10% an hour while idle

Have you tried turning it off and on again ? (Roy). If you haven't then give it a reboot and it should be fine.

Try installing BetterBatteryStats. It should help identify what's keeping your phone awake.

Mine drops about 1.5% every hour whenever it's on standby.

Is your phone rooted? Like others said, try to install the xda-forum version of BBS but it's weird because I did install the one from GPlay.
One of the first lead is the WiFi? Is it always turned on? There's a bug with it. Go into the advanced WiFi settings and set it to 'only if activated' (I don't know the exact spell in English but it's something like that).
But you better have to dl BBS & check the wakelocks.

what?
Underclock when you're not using your phone.
That will save battery.
If ur using stock TW. Put on power saving mode
PM Me if u want to know more.
Try using an app called easy battery saver and only use the cable and plug that came with your galaxy s3 it works for me, today I had eight hours after charge and using internet with 3g nearly continuously.
You would get much more by leaving it on standby.
Also restrict your background data, turn off your automatic updates at play store andturn off WiFi while screen is asleep.
Follow all these for better battery.
Use any battery investigation apk/widget (I'd recommend battery monitor widget) and look what is causing the drain...
may I guess: cell standby or gpsd?
guys i remember you that the cell phone is on flight mode with wifi,gps and data turned off
and, if you have a soft which contains a bug - you'll have such processes running.
It is up to you to install any apk which will contain more detailed statistics what actually is consuming so much juice.
If you do not want - no one would force you.

I have the exactly same problem,30% drain overnight.That happens after updating to 4.1.1 JellyBean.With ICS never happened.
Go into the battery page, click on the graph and then post a screenshot of the detailed graph here. It is usually an app or process not letting the phone go into standby. Happened to me when I had my phone on ICS out of the box. I fixed that all up through the individual app settings and all was sweet. Then when I went from ICS to JB, the issue came up again and I had to go through the apps again to change the settings back. It seems that by updating from ICS to JB, certain settings get set back to default, which then does not allow the phone to go into standby.
Culprits that I have found are:
Facebook - set to manual refresh interval
Weather (or any weather widget) - manual refresh interval
Google play store - Turn off Google AdMob Ads
Any form of newsreader (I was using Pulse) - Turn off notification when there are new stories
Wifi advanced settings - Set Keep Wifi on during sleep to "Always"
Samsung account - Turn off sync
Samsung app store - Turn off Update Notification, turn off push notification, turn off ad preferences.

Maybe some apps running in background if you are using *viber* delete it
It makes proximity sensor always on.
Try delete apps like that

Guys please keep in mind that keeping the stock os without any custom kernel might be not as effective than using an adequate custom rom...
In addition remember, cooler temperatures cause ur battery to lose its charge faster...
So if ur phone is placed on the window shelf and its getting cold during the night it might cause ur battery to drop fast..
I made this observation with my sgs plus....
Hope i helped.

Question regarding battery

I recently installed LS 4.0 on my Razr Maxx and noticed on my break at work i was at around 35% battery, then 2 hours later when i got off work i was at 3%, in that time i didnt have any apps open so the drain dosent make any sense. I took a screenshot of the battery graph for reference: http://i.imgur.com/MyUDnNT.png
As you can see on the graph it randomly drops off there and then goes down at a pretty brisk pace. I wasent using the phone from 6pm to 8pm, right around the time it dropped all that battery.
Could this be due to my battery just dieing out or is it possibly a issue with the rom?

Please describe more information like:
1. was your network set in 3G? LS battery isn't really good with 3G
2. what number of app you are using? social media apps that always updating their data i.e google+, fb, etc --> would increase data usage when they synchronize.
3. please check whether your razr went to deep sleep.
Solution:
1. Set to 2G always and go to 3G if you want faster speed (download the 2g/3g toggle widget for L)
2. Uninstall those app if you're not using it or limit their synchronize routine by the app itself or using profile in Tasker (advanced method)
3. you should installed wakelock monitor app from Play Store
If battery drain were persist when you have done those troubleshoot and solution, you should try to calibrate your battery (leave it shutdown automatically after reaching low level and then charge it until 100%, go + 1 hour to make sure, go to recovery to check the % and then boot to your system and calibrate using calibration app from the Play Store).
Last one, if calibrate doesnt work, then the battery might be already dropped.
Also do check that location services etc are set to power save mode.
Use an app to check wakelock and disable that annoying app.
or may be you are right... lets hope not for your own wellness!
I also remember having that problem when I was on cm12. After my battery dropping insanely low, it kept long before the little juice left in it run out.
So i thinks its something with the 5.0 ROMs

[Q] Galaxy S3 Battery Drain Loe Usage

I just got this phone about a week ago and right away I noticed that battery life was very low. I tried doing some charge cycles and I even got a brand new Anker battery but nothing changed. I looked at the battery usage and the graph is just steadily dropping with very minimal screen usage. I have turned off background syncing on everything and I disabled notifications on most of my apps (all but Facebook and Instagram) and still the battery goes dead in under one day of standby. Looking at battery usage I noticed that Android OS,Android system, and Google play services are pretty high on the percentage (I do have auto updates disabled though). I know the battery shouldn't be dropping from one day of standby. I've also checked some other posts where people say to turn off auto brightness and notifications and I've tried all of that to no avail. Also on the battery graph the scene time is of most of the time, but the puzzling part is that the awake time is only dotted a few times, no large bars that might be huge background processes. And speaking of background processes, most of my running apps say they've been on since the time my phone had turned on (not sure why). Please help me out on how I can fix this, I can post screen shots if needed

Thanks! I'm trying that right now, I'll tell you if it worked
It did not work Could this be a faulty device? Here is a screenshot of one hour of usage after factory reseting. As you can see on the running apps (my phone was on for about 8 mins in the picture) there are a few processes that stay running from startup and never stop.
p.s. I also went disabled all running apps that were possible and that didn't look important (clock widgets, SNS, Stock Daemon, etc.)

Cryogenmod 13. Ridiculous battery drain.

Hi,
I am very new to this and I created this account in the hope that someone will be able to help me. Please be gentle with me and explain things like I'm five.
I recently installed CM13 on to my Galaxy S2 and the battery drain is ridiculous. For example, it was fully charged fifty minutes ago but it is now at 89% - and for a majority of that time it has been in aeroplane mode. I am using Wi-Fi only when not in aeroplane mode and while this hastens the battery drain, it's not by a huge percentage.
My phones stats are:
Android version: 6.0.1
CyanogenMod version: 13.0-20160404-NIGHTLY-i9100
Kernel version: 3.0.101-CM-g3419d27 [email protected] #1
GAPPS: BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15
TWRP: IsoRec_TWRP_3.0.0-0_i9100
Things I have tried:
Using privacy guard to stop Google Play Store and various other apps from starting on boot and staying awake.
Setting the screen brightness level to the absolute minimum.
Setting the screen to go to sleep after 15 seconds inactivity.
Turning off Wi-Fi scanning.
Setting my e-mail pushes to one hour instead of instantly (which I especially hate).
Turning off voice recognition.
Setting location mode to battery saving.
Installing Advanced Task Killer, Greenify and/or DU Battery Saver.
Recalibrating the (new) battery - manually and with the battery calibration app.
Resetting network settings.
And various other things that I can't recall right now.
I recently installed GSam Battery Monitor, but it's not telling me much at the moment - just that the screen uses 64% and apps use 36%, and the average battery life per complete charge is at 7h 13m (3h 20min active).
If I go to settings > battery, it's telling me even less - the screen has used 4%, CyanogenMod System uses 2%.
I've read on other forums that installing a different kernel will improve it, but others have said it won't make any difference. Either way, I have no idea where to get the kernel from. I'm starting to think I must have installed something very wrong when the battery life on my phone won't even last eight hours. I have spent the past couple of days browsing to try and find out what I can do, and I think I'm about to go cross eyed.
Can anyone please help? Please remember that I am a complete newcomer to this so I may be asking some really stupid questions.
Thank you in advance for any help offered. I really don't want to go back to my 3GS now.
Hey,
I'm also on CM13 and also have battery drain, since Android 6 is really heavy, but definitely not as bad as you.
One thing you else could try is the app "BetterBatteryStats" which is available for free on XDA - just search. In my opinion it's the best available app for battery statistics. You can check out which app is keeping your device awake at standby.
But in your case, as you already tried a lot, I recommend to simply do a clean install of CM again. Really looks like there were little errors while flashing, or the Rom's zip file got somehow corrupted at the download. So download ROM and Gapps again, go to recovery, wipe /system, /data, /cache and reflash ROM and Gapps. Perhaps use another Gapps package than you used before. Also consider choosing the littlest available one. Maybe the issue will be gone then. Really hope this helps somehow.
Was I gentle enough?

Device is always awake and WiFi is always on

Hi,
I'm having battery issues with OPX again, first it was a faulty battery, but now it looks like the there's something wrong with the settings. The device loses about a third of it's battery overnight, but when I look at the stats I can see that WiFi is always on and the device is always awake!
I have installed naptime as well and told it to ignore sensors (not that it matters as the device is not moving overnight) and to sleep even if connected to a charger etc. No matter what I try the device is always awake.
Is there a way to find out what is keeping it awake?
When I look at usage since last full charge there's nothing unusual there, just regular apps and single digit percentage numbers.
Thanks for your help!
System version?
I'm on Android Marshmallow, using Resurrection Remix ROM.
I'm not quite sure how to use the wakelock blocker, but I just installed Wakelock detector and it shows TripAdvisor as #1 on the list. I have it blocked in notifications, but I can't find anything related to TripAdvisor in wakelock blocker.
Is there any way to prevent apps from keeping the system awake, or should I just unintall TripAdvisor completely?
Not sure if I'm on the right track, but something is keeping the system awake and I need to find out what
OS3 with google back up turned off I get zero drain. Maybe 2-3℅ max over night. Also turned off automatic updates playstore. With just those two things off dont see drain anymore might just be lucky.
Well I think I'm back on normal drain. I uninstalled TripAdvisor, not using it except when I'm on holidays. I disabled the option to keep WiFi on even during sleep.
I used wakeblocker to block all weather/facebook entries, and I have two gmail accounts, one which is use a lot and one which I don't - so I blocked all wakelocks from syncing the account I don't use often.
Battery history confirms device is now correctly going to sleep and turning off WiFi. Automatic updates are still on.
I probably blocked too much, but I don't care anymore, I have 30% more battery every morning and that's good enough for me
