I installed Norton Mobile Utilities (this is not antivirus...... ) and was checking out the settings options from the main menu. At the very bottom of the settings it showed my battery only has 1390 mAh capacity. I'm curious what others show with this app installed.
TIA

First off.......it's not antivirus....not sure where you got that. All it does is monitor your phone statistics, like minutes used, texts, cpu, memory, etc. It also is a task killer that works way better than the stock task manager.
Now for anyone that has a minute, could you please install the app and let me know what you see....... our batteries are supposed to be 1620 mAh, so i'm just curious to what others are seeing. It could be the app, or maybe I just have a bad battery. Certainly isn't close to 1620.......

Try battery monitor widget

Ok so I installed both of the above mentioned apps for comparison. I am running the extended battery(2750 I think). The Norton utilities app shows 1390 under battery profile. But it is greyed out. Not sure what that signifies. Battery monitor widget shows 2720. Hope that helps with what you were asking.

It says 1390 on mine also.

Hi, on my old desire I used Current widget to get a log for how much battery I was using. Unfortunately this program doesn't work with samsungs battery drivers.
Any tips on how to do this? Want to test different setting to get a better picture of the battery usage

I wanted to try to edit the Samsung battery driver to enable current readings, I think it could be done.
That said someone claimed battery monitor pro worked to see current, but I'm not totally sure. I made a current widget thread here weeks ago.
Thanks for the reply. I see I should have searched (the search function in the xda app is terrible tho) .
Just tried the program, and all it would tell me was an estimation, not at all accurate. It kept hopping between guessing 1 or 2 mA. Didn't even know capacity of the battery.

Ok so that answers that then. I really would like to try a project modifying the battery driver to enable current readings at some point. Maybe someday...until then not much to do.
Does the current widget show readings with the charger plugged in? The original galaxy worked this way.
for now battery monitor works as far as giving estimates and you have to configure the battery manually but it logs and you can put a widget in your task tray that shows the battery in percentage.
I get pretty bad battery life. I wiped everything and reflashed the ROM and only installed about 10 apps instead of my usual 150 or so. Total difference in battery life! Except I want want my apps back, at least most of them.
I'm wondering if there's a way of finding out which ones take the most juice or are always running when I don't want them to do I can get rid of those few.

Try "Wheres My Droid Power"
Could also try "Watchdog", I have used it a few times, good app. It also lets you know if one app is misbehaving and using too many resources.
Or system panel. I use its monitor and it will tell you how much power each app is using. You have to get the paid version to get that feature but its a good app. I'm sure there are other free apps that do the same like the ones mentioned above.
BetterBatteryStats, best there is

+1 for watchdog
Android's built in battery use monitor will tell you what's using battery. I guess it varies based on which ROM you use.
+2 for watchdog

Batterysnap might work for you. Has a widget that monitors temp and percentage, and keeps a running graph of battery level (% or v I believe) vs. time.
Elixir2 might also do it...definitely monitors those items, and has widget capabilitiy, but I don't specifically know if you can set up a widget to monitor them live...
I don't know of one exactly that is meant for it, but you can setup SetCPU to warn you and then underclock.
My Tab won't stay asleep. It randomly wakes up for a few seconds (5-10) then goes back to sleep. I can't seem to pin down a rhyme or reason as it doesn't always happen, but it does happen often. My main concern is battery drain. I'm running Task 14 with a boosted theme and stock kernel. I've reflashed the Rom but the issue still exists. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can try?
Your Not Alone!!
I would like to know also, as I have spotted mine do this too on occasions, anyone got any ideas out there please?
BTW, I am also running a Boosted themed Task14 with Pershoots kernel
I am not sure in this case, but I guess it could be an app you have installed. You should monitor with task manager which tasks are running and switch them off temporary to find out which app cause the problem.

Download better battery stats to see if you have a rogue app draining your battery. And dl cpu spy to see if or when your tab deep sleeps

I put both cpu spy and b.b.s. along with watchdog on, and can't seem to spot anything weird. Nothing is hogging a lot of juice, and it has plenty of deep sleep time. When it does a random wake up and I use the TouchWiz task manager it shows no active apps and Watchdog only shows minor things in the background, I'm not familiar with b.b.s. or cpu spy, is there something I should be looking for I am missing? Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.

You can also send a log of your bbs stats to the bbs thread and let them see if they can see anything

Thanks for the tip. Yeah I use b00sted's ICS theme. I noticed the other person in this thread with the same problem is also using one of his themes which points in that direction except that I believe they are pretty widely used and tested themes. However I will probably remove it when I get around to reflashing the ROM as I think that's the only way to remove it to see if that solves the issue.
In case anyone was wondering, I think I got the problem figured out. I use the honeybar app to bide my task bar. When I disable it, I no longer see the problem. (it's been a couple of days and I haven't caught it lighting up yet.)

Rooted? Then try Greenify and select every App to be analyzed and then set into sleep mode.

Are you running Custom Rom or installed stock OTA?
If falshed a custom-rom, try to wipe data, system and cache partition and flash rom again.
If stock, try to factory-reset it.
A good tool to see changes, is Battery Monitor Widget

You will see your standby battery drain in milliampere after let it stay for about ~5-10 minutes in standby. If it is higher than -60ma, there is defnitely something wrong... of course for this test, disable any other drainig feature like wlan, bluetooth or mobile data. If Greenify helped (after you´ve installed and activated it), you will see the drain will stay under -20ma sometimes even und -10ma which is the best you can get out óf this device and any other.
Yes its android 4.2.2 & sense 5, official update and yes i am rooted. Ok i will give a try to these tools

Before or after greenify?
-44ma means that there defnitely something running in background, you normally get this with wifi in standby, music is -60ma + x
How long was the phone is standby before taking the screenshot? Battery Monitor normlally needs some time... .
I suppose you did everything right and you haven´t applied Greenify yet? So do that and check standby drain again

Okay so for what purpose do actually need to have the screen on so long?
One thing i have noticed is that, if you disable power save mode in standby, you will get even a better standby drain, sometimes -1ma and under! according too Battery Monitor Widget 0+ ma D so it´s maybe -0,5ma DD
Just for clearance, greenify only helps to longer standby mainly!
Otherwise i just can advice you to shorten screen on time
