No its not normal. It should gradually creep down not that steep drop. KI8 battery life is great... Among the other benefits. Someone with more knowledge may be able to explain whats causing that sudden drop. May be a faulty battery.

Man that is savage battery drain. Try something like smaberg's KI8 Rom with siyah kernel, I'm getting amazing battery life with that combination. Siyah also has some good advice on improving battery life.

Did you wipe your battery stats when flashing the ROM? If not, boot to CWM, wipe battery stats, charge to 100% and then drain that battery.

Goin to try that battery reset.
UPDATE: So I did battery reset but the phone has gone crazy. It suddenly started to automaticly switch to flight mode when I turn the screen on

I ordered a spare batt and now when i try to put the original one back in the phone does not boot unless i plug the charger in first then it works as normal. So every time i take the batt out i have to plug it in to the wall before i can use it? Pretty much destroys the point in why i got a spare battery

I dont know whats happening but provide the following details and someone here might be able to help.
- which ROM are you using? If stock then which region?
- since when did you start getting this problem?
- did this issue arise after you installed any application?
- did you always used the official smassung charger and battery?
Phone signal is draining out.. not to be negative but looks like you going to have a huge bill this month.

Looks like your phone crashed or froze during a period so it couldn't read the battery statistics.
Stock 2.3.4 from south east england always used default charger, not installed any new apps for weeks now. Happend after a crash followed by automatic restart. Random.

I'm currently using Darkside 3.2.0, faux latest kernel...
10% over 7 hours, ~1.5% per hour, looks like good battery life to me?

Thats exactly what I was thinking
Don't be concerned about wake locks if you get awesome battery life

are your radios updated ?

First of all thanks for the replies.
I know its not the worse possible battery drain, however data was off last night as I wanted to c if my phone actually goes to sleep.
my other android phone drained maybe 2% overnight with data off, so 10% seems a lot to me...
I have an international ATRIX and m using the latest radio (100.00 something like this) and no matter which rom I flash (aura cm7, and now darkside) the phone just stays awake.
With light use it lasts a day, but ideally 2 days is what im looking for!
Thanks for reading guys

My battery life is for some reason very bad. I'm able to completely empty it in a matter of hour just with moderate usage... I had this problem before, solved it with Nandroid restore...
Now I'm running CM9 nightly (1/july/2012) with Siyah 3.3.2. When I disconnect it from charger, it almost immediately starts to empty.
I've tried to wipe battery stats and resetting fuel gauge chip when on 100%, but to no avail...
Can anyone help me?

Try flashing a different kernel but tbh it shouldn't drop that fast... Have you tried using a different battery?

Well, do you have experience with other kernels like Fluxxi or Dorimanx? Maybe it would be better with one of those...
And I havent tried a different battery because I dont have a spare one.

First, you may install Betterbatterystats, so it's easier to understand apk consume battery in the background.
Then you may install the new kernel siayh, the 3.4.1, it seems more parsimonious.
Finally install EXtweaks, excellent utility to set various parameters of the kernel.

Terrible battery life on 3g since a while.

Hi,
since quite a while I have a terrible battery life on 3g. I compared it to a friends Gs3 and he looses 5% in 4hours.
I loose 25% in the same time.
I'm on a lg8 stockrom rooted.
Better battery stats seem to show me that my device doesn't sleep well.
Do you guys have any advice for me. I really don't want to do a factory reset.
thanks in advance

What ROM do you use? I recomend you use shostock3 v4, with jeboo kernel for me this rom and this kernel are the best combination to save battery.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Before changing rom's, you need to install Better Battery Stats and find out exactly what's draining so much. Chances are if it's a rouge app and you inadvertently re install it on a new rom, you'll continue to have the same issues. Best to find the current cause before taking drastic measures.
Mine did this. Media sever was running wild. Check if that is the cause.

i was using shostock3 v4 itself with AJK kernel. flashed jeboo kernel and it turned out fine. BTW no apps was eating battery..looked like kernel problem to me...its SOLVED for now. thx guys
