Wiping battery stats won't help you, there's a wakelock issue going on there. I would recommend installing BetterBatteryStats ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) and checking into what is keeping your phone awake, be it a system app or user-installed.

[Q] Vibrant shutting down by himself

Hey,
My cellphone is shutting down\restarting (when I'm turning on the phone the battery is on 1-2 percents) by himself while I'm using WiFi more than 2-3 minutes (with no charger, while the charger is connected everything is okay).
the problem appear a week ago, I tried to get back to stock and tried to format and wipe my phone.
I don't remember what I've done before the problem started, I guess I tried to improve my battery life (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15804148#post15804148) which is not really normal and I changed something with the voltage.
I tried to install other roms but still have the problem.
any suggestion?
A wild guess is that phone doesnt read the battery stats correctly.
Power off phone and straight the battery contacts from the back of the phone and also clean them up with an alcohol swap, then go cwm and delete battery stats, reboot and leave it drain, then full charge and check from there.
Be sure not to have a battery hungry rom on it so you do a correct estimation if the problem is gone.
What rom are you using? If its GB then its a thing that we all deal with on it. When my phone gets below 30% and I get a call I can't hang up it just reboots everytime. When its plugged in its all good. My dev is working on it but I guess its a hard fix.
Simply Honey 4.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
@peecs121: if you follw the link he posted the problem still persist even on stock jfd samsung rom so is not a rom issue.
I tried few roms, like: honeybee, bionix and the stock version
Btw - I have 2 battery and both of them with the same problem (I don't know why and when but they got swollen from some reason)
If they are swollen they are scrap. You just found out where your problem is.
I think you got fake batteries.
They looks like original, anyway - i will try to change to my friend battery and ill get back with an answer

Battery life w/ ViperROM + JDU

Just wondering if anyone has discussed anything about battery life with this specific ROM and using Juice Defender Ultimate (or not).
I've done a quick search and didn't find anything and I looked on the viperROM thread and I saw the dev claimed he got 19 hours of battery life on it. I'm only getting around 9hrs on it now.
Any ideas\suggestions?

Try calibrating Ur battery. JDU is good to use. Also grab autostarts and stop apps from running in the background. After calibrating your battery life should almost double.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
I use JD and Viper and no problems. Not real sure what my battery life is because I don't monitor it that much but if I take it off the charger at 6am by 4pm when I leave work it is usually around 75-80%. That is with probably an hour of podcast listening and a few other things like texts and phone calls. Not a power user but not completely ignored either.
It depends on usage... i ALWAYS make it a whole day. Light usage i made it more then two, with a bad wake lock that drained 20% before i noticed it.
I'm on Viper and I use not juice things. Here's the battery life I'm getting.

Download CPU Spy from the market and see if you have any widgets or apps preventing your phone from going into DEEP SLEEP.

(Q) Lost 25% ina few seconds. WTF?

title says it all really everytime my phone is around the 30-40% range it drops suddenly to 19% always to 19% and I have no clue why I've calibrated, wiped and did a restart while plugged in battery pull and still nothing.
Any suggestions?

Try to see which applications are running and what is more consumundo battery.
And also recommend that you calibrate. Me, whenever I do this procedure, I have a good improvement in autonomy.
Does this happen across different ROMs? You might have a bad battery.

Use Better Battery Stats and Watchdog Lite to see whats happening. In watchdog lite u can set the cpu percentage max to be 20% so that anything going beyond that can be reported. Usually works for me.

I think it might have been the state my battery was in when I flashed the first time because it hasn't done it yet and I was rom surfing last night nothing out of the ordinary happened I'll report back after work tomorrow that should be a good enough time to test it out

Really bad battery life...

So, I'm using the newest stable release of CM9 with Siyah kernel and my battery life is terrible. Not even using the phone for an hour, eight hours of standby, and it's already down to 30%. Any solutions?

Most battery drain issues are user related, check your apps with Better Battery Stats and install cpu spy for sleep time of the cpu. Might be some rogue stampeding apps/widgets on your phone
As you can see on attachments, my battery stats are equal... my awake time is very high, and i have better battery stats installed, it says my cpu time are 90% into 200mhz mode, but as you can see 15% with 13h of usage... but doesn't show any application draining my battery...
Anyone know how to trace this correctly?
Battery probs
Hi mate! Its mi first post i hope they will be no errors!.
I had the same prob as u and i did this:
1-Install ---> Battery Calibrator ( root need ) from googleplaystore.
2-Charge it to 100% REBOOT YOUR PHONE (program dont say a thing about this
3- Press button , all your battery stats will be correct now
4- If u continue having this probs you have to Re-boot your ROM and do all this steps with 3 wipes

Remove bloatware or freeze them

You are using siyah?
Make your cpu 1200-200 or 1000-200
Overvoltage 50
And you will see the difference.

Strange battery problem

I have an extremely strange problem with the battery of my s3. When I'm at home, where my signal is extremely poor I last roughly a day wasting 40/50% so that's after 15 hours of discharge. When I'm at work I.e walking taking the train etc, just generally at work my battery goes down 70%!!!!! In 5 hours with minimal use. Eg. Screen on for 20 minutes. Voice calls 10minutes. I can sometimes Ferrell that the s3 Is warm surely it can't be because of the fact it's in my pocket causing the s3 bather to start warming up. I have tried using better battery stats but it gives no reference set yet. Can someone please assist in how to check what the culprit maybe? GPS is off Google now is off. WiFi is off power saving is on. All apps have been closed. Is identical to what I have at home.
Run better battery stats look for wakelocks.

Better battery stats isn't working on s3. It says no reference point set yet. It's a common problem being faced by a lot of s3 owners regarding that app. The developer hasn't updated the ap
Wat. You must be doing something wrong. I recommend using v1.11.0.0. Proof below
