I'm new to MIUI and have search the forums but found no answer to my question so here it goes.
When I first installed MIUI it has wireless set to sleep on screen off. I changed to to never since that is what I have done on every ROM on ever phone I've used. However with that setting, the phone never sleeps. If I look at the battery it shows the phone as always awake and never sleeping. So I changed it back to sleep with screen off, however my wifi never appears to turn off when the screen is off. My phone is still showing as always awake and the wireless proxy in the settings is always on. If i turn off wireless before I turn off my screen I can see the phone actually sleeping and am getting decent battery life (though I'm still in the calibration of the battery). I'm trying to get the best battery life out of the phone (and this ROM by far is the best of all I've tried), but I'd like to keep on wifi. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have been running miui for about two weeks. I use wifi at home, but never away from home. I left the wifi
sleep policy on the default setting. I too noticed the phone never seems to sleep. I left it on airplane mode overnight and actually went from 92% when I put it down, and woke up to 93%. But during that period the awake in the battery stats showed as awake. It showed deep sleep in CPU spy. Here is my stats for the past 24 hours. I think miui battery stats measure "awake" differently than gingerbread's built in battery use.

It worried me that the phone was always "awake", but with the battery life being on par with the stock ROMs, I soon stopped worrying.

OK thanks. Once I'm done calibrating ill do some tests. With wifi on it seemed to be draining my battery fast but its not calibrated yet so maybe that was it.

By the way what theme are you running? Its looks like what I've been looking for but haven't been able to find yet.

I set out looking for a gingerbread green aospish theme (my goal was S8's theme). I could not find anything the color I want with icons that weren't confusing to read. I found this ICS theme on the Android theme subforum. Its near perfect, and really complete. If I could get the ICS blue traded for GB green I would be in heaven. The only part of the theme I don't use is the lockscreen, I liked the one that was default better. The SGS II theme is there is pretty good too, really close to the stock themeing.

Title says it all. CPU Spy revealed that (since last flash on Monday night) I had 12 seconds of deep sleep.
Can anyone guide me on how to find the culprit?
Running unofficial KG3 with CF KG3.
Thanks!
Bump. Someone must know.
try reading a few of the other threads about battery drain. Plenty of info already exists. If you have a more specific question, you're more likely to get some helpful answers.
How much more specific can I get? My phone never goes into deep sleep. I just wanna know if this is a stock issue or if it's due to an app.
Of course it is because of an app. Check which up has been running continuously.

Download Better Battery Stats, see under Wakelocks what's going on for max time. And also do post your Battery Usage graph.
Regards.

OK, I am not an expert but still saying,
Your graph is quite well and normal I think. Look at the Awake and Screen On bar, they are more or less synchronized. And look at the Wakelock stats, it's clear that you have GPS On for 24 mins, Latitude for 2 mins, now GPS hogs battery, it's clear. So by that point I think you are fine
Wanna know more, post the graphs in Better Battery Stats thread.
Regards.
Thanks for the reply but the issue is that my phone is NEVER going into deep sleep. That shouldn't happen.
Well I don't believe that CPU Spy stuff mate. If it's not in Deep Sleep then it should be Awake, but there is Black Awake spaces there, so that means your phone does enter Deep Sleep mode, or whatever it is called.
Your phone is fine, if there was a problem your awake bar should have been full blue, that's when the phone is active all the time.
Try turning off Google Latitude if you have it enabled and make sure it's the latest version.
Like I've said before. The phone is supposed to go into deep sleep. It's not. There's something wrong.
The culprit is Google Maps as I see in one of the screenshots. Freeze it with Titanium Backup. Also, turn off network location tracking.
Hmm, I can't recall WHAT did it (I tried a multitude of things) but now the phone appears to be going into deep sleep. The best way to tell is whether it takes a half a second to wake the device. I think it MAY have been the car home or whatever that comes pre-installed...
Same problem...today phone don't go to deep sleep.

None of the answers are correct. You've asked a question that has been answered in countless threads before you.
I see that from your screen shot your phone is plugged in. It has been well established that the phone never enter deep sleep when it is plugged in.
I think this is woeful

This is the Q&A section of the board. You made a statement.
Apart from getting roughly 3 hrs of screen on time with around 63% of battery (this based purely on your screen shot & may not be entirely accurate given the complete lack of detail you've provided), this tells us pretty much nothing about your usage.
Well you've probably had about 3 hours screen time + 3g + Bluetooth on and connected as well. Seems fair to me.
Anyway, with so many battery related threads why not just post there instead of starting a new thread?
Sent from my GT-I9100T
Really, what for new thread?
Not clearly...
Turn on GSM-only in the network settings. Turn off bluetooth and auto-brightness. Sync and background data also sucks the hell out of your battery ^^
this is my usage. the battery keeps reducing even during idle, with no wakelocks, by around 3% an hour. i've set the setting to gsm only, turned off wifi & bluetooth, turned off auto syncing, but its still like this.
and in the 2nd attachment picture is the rom i'm using
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
looks good but how is your on screen time?
is that considered good? cause i've seen a straight line (only losing 1 to 2% over 8 hours) during screen off time. i don't quite like it now cause i always fully charge before sleep, and when i woke up it only remains 70%....
on screen time, i've never fully use from 100% to dead, so cant be sure...
Try the JuiceDefender application (Market). The free version is good enough to help you out. I use the ultimate version and using my phone all day long (3g, internet, sync, gps) I can easily got 40% to 50% left at night (full charge in the morning).
i dun think i'll need juice defender...i always do everything it does (i.e turning off 3g, wifi, bluetooth, sync, gps) when not in use...
You need autostarts, I paid for it and its made having my phone possible.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Don't use Juice Defender. Unless you want to use more battery. It uses far more juice than it claims to save if many people on XDA's experience using it holds true. Plus, as Thonney quite rightly pointed out, many (most) of us already do the things it does manually which takes all of a few seconds & costs zero battery.
So in general I get phenomenal battery life out of my lovely i777. Full day on a single charge, frequently with lots of juice to spare.
I am using the Titanium backup "freeze" TetherManager approach to get me some tethering without having to activate the obnoxious AT&T plan.
What I've noticed is battery life ends up being 1/2 of what it was if I activate tethering, even if I shut it off again right away. 'About phone' merely reports 'Android OS' as a top CPU user - looking higher than normal - and SystemPanel doesn't give me much better.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
ps - I used to use the WiFi tether app here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but I found it was pretty glitchy .
Install better battery stats it on this site soe where cant link at the momemnt and see what is wakelocks u have killing ur phone or flash a rom that has tethering built in
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
That's weird... I've never had problems with tether continuing to hog battery beyond when I turn it off.
Of course I haven't used a UC base since November.
It sounds like tethering might be a trigger condition for the dreaded BT-AMP bug... See my "known battery drainers" reference in General along with tymong's "horrible battery life" thread in General.
Installed Better Battery Monitor. Regarding installing a ROM with tethering already present, I am actually kind of a TouchWiz fan, so prefer stock if I can roll with it. And technically, tethering *is* already present But I get your meaning
Entropy I checked out your known offenders post, very informative. I can't say for sure if this falls into that but maybe the battery monitor can help find out. SystemPanel reports for CPU usage within System Processes:
"events/0: 7.6%"
"suspend: 7.5%"
Here's a screen grab of the events/0 system manager graph:

Skip straight to the Wireshark part of my post...
I would suggest an I9100 Touchwiz-based firmware like XWLA4. IMO that was the pinnacle of Gingerbread on this device. Or you can try something ICS-based now.
I think I may just do that Entropy.
I feel like a jerk a little for mentioning that even after a reboot or two it continues to exhibit the behavior. Which doesn't really jive.
When I didn't tether for many days, my battery life was back to super awesome. And ,just to prove it to myself, I tried tethering today and sure enough the faster drain began. But after shutting down/rebooting, it continues. It almost seems like I have to pull the battery.
It may be time just to do ICS as you (and others) say.
This phone aside from keyboard lag and batt drain is awesome...
I've tried and tried to understand why whether on gb or ics batt drains like can watch % drop every few minutes
My hox on ics wasnt half as bad I'm rooted anyone know a good fix or kernel for team objection ics or a kernel.
And why for God sakes do all Samsung devices slowwwwww charge if u don't have a 2nd battery when first dies you'll be in the red zone rest day trying to regain some type of charge
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Try the official Emily rom its gingerbread..there's even a couple of good themes for it, I had very good battery with that rom. Am now testing ics CM9. Sometimes its the settings you have and brightness that kills the battery. I leave my brightness on 40% keep auto sync OFF.. Even black wallpapers and inverted apps help with battery as it takes less energy to energize the pixels...I get awesome battery life on my note.. And I use perfect keyboard pro....I have NO lag what's so ever...sometimes rarely you'll get lag on keyboards but clearing ram or cache seems to help restore the order of things....hope this helps a little

What's your run time

"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Interesting I own a Note never had any Battery Issues....
If you got a defective Unit try to take it back to your ATT Store.
I see you own the I717 Unit that's the ATT Model. ATT will gadly replace it with the same device or get full refund back.......
If it's only the Battery Issue it might not be the Phone it self just a bad battery I would by another battery it would cost you around $20 which isn't a lot of money for a replacement on a battery.....
It takes me 2 and half hours or less to get a full charge on my battery but I've never rooted my device.......
I don't know if AT&T hates your or something but I don't have keyboard lag or a bad battery.

I get great battery life on my phone.
Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.
