Extortionate battery discharge! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone of late has been playing up with the battery...from a full charge and five minutes of use it drops to less than 60%!
73% is taken by Android system, I've been running on an old miui ROM for a few months..usage screenshot below if anyone can spit the culprit?

The unplugged usage from full charge is shown below, down to 50% for 20 min use!

Might be a battery or kernel problem. Have you tried any recent kernel to see if it performs better?

No I've been using same kernel for a few Weeks without problem...just happened in last couple of days!

Basically, does anyone have a clue what causes the interval awakening?

Yes, I had that. It was the Samsung email app. I got the stock Android one working from 2.3.4 and it's much better now It's in VRTweaks for VR1.1 just now.
Well I would be very happy if after 4 hours the phone still had 93% of battery left! That seems that some app is just checking or updating something from the net.
Not so bad.
How did you get that good suspend time?
It could be caused by anything because there is not enough information listed.
As a guess, that it might be the Fast Dormany feature. There is a thread somewhere. Search on "Fast Dormancy" (spelling??) You could look into it. As the poster above noted it might be email. How often does the phone check for Email?

Normal battery usage?

Hi, I've just bought the Galaxy S3 and as expected, I play with it a lot as it's a new toy. I was just wondering if the battery usuage is as expected from this phone? I know in a few weeks the battery will last longer as I wont play with as much as I am now. Here are some screenshots:

For stock rom, your battery usage looks good and normal. Don't worry about the cell standby usage. It just reporting wrong figure.

Yeah, it's normal. Sometimes in weekends I'm playing on it a lot and looks pretty similar with your results.
However, I have it for over 2 months already, so after 2 months, a normal day will look like this:

Sorry, can't post links yet
Looks pretty normal to me too...

Lastest Chrome Beta draining battery

Just installed the latest Chrome Beta from Play Store (like minutes ago) and after surfin a while I took a look at the battery stats and saw this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Doesnt look right to me..
Sorry for the huge image, couldnt resize where I'm at :/
Seems alright. If you've only been surfing..

May well be that is accounted for by the initial syncing that chrome does
Sure, if the stats has been cleared that would make sense, but I've been using my phone for some time without clearing battery stats. Chrome shouldn't have a chance in hell to use more energy than the screen in that short while I used chrome after installing the latest beta. Before the install Chrome was way down the list.
But I cleared the stats and soon I'll see if it's behaving odd.

[Q] What is the mdnsd process and why I'd it using so much battery?

Hello,
There's this process I noticed in my battery usage settings and it uses so much battery and I have no idea what it does. I took this into notice after I felt that my phone, an Amazon Fire Phone, was warmer than usual. So I checked my battery usage, and I see this service, mdnsd, using 50% of the battery. Now, I checked the internet and XDA about this issue, and it says that Firefox is causing this issue. Problem is that I do not have Firefox installed. Now, what I want is what does it do? Why is it using so much battery? And can I disable it, since I have a rooted phone running CyanogenMod 11.
Thank you in advance,
mechasnyper

Removed the battery while the phone was on to show some coworkers and booted the phone back up. Checked the battery and it's much less!
Standby has been awesome on this phone and the battery bass been what's expected for its size.

This might be a glitch based on you removing battery while the phone was on, you might want to reboot your phone, or fully charge or discharge the battery.

I agree with you, it was just an observation that I wanted to share.
Loving the phone so far...
