So I was wondering why my battery is draining a little bit fast overnight. I checked better battery stats and to my surprise, the gallery 3d something seems to be running and I'm not sure what it does really. Can someone help? Thanks.

Usually when it drains the battery, you have sync enabled which will upload/download all your photos to Picasa.
Go to Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Your account] and make sure "Photos" is unchecked.
Guys i m fed up
Its taking more time to charge and less than that time to drain
These are my phone details!!
Pls help guys

Better Battery Stats and investigate wakelocks .

Dude.Lots of wakelocks..
Get GSM battery monitor, and see which apps are causing the most wakelocks

is there an app that can show real time information about percentage drop in battery & during the drop what were the apps & processes that are being used that caused the drop? with such an app i think we can have a clear picture which apps consume more juice.

Even though I only have gmail email sync on, other Google syncs were causing me a ship load of wakelocks so I froze them in Rom Toolbox. Now using siyah 1.4 and my battery is amazing. Never better and a big improvement over siyah 1.2.6 which I used previously.
See below for some of the apps that were causing me issues. Particularly Calender and Google sync services. Also froze Polaris viewer but only because I now have the full version.
I still have gmail push and email every 4 hours + data on (3g off as I can barely get it at home) and wifi is on 100% of the time. Also have multiple weather, currency, phone plan and more widgets refreshing every few hours but battery is amazing.
Now overnight I only lose 2-3%. Been using the phone all day and have 4 hours screen time and over 30% battery left.
Below is a screenshot I took yesterday. I froze most of them as they were causing wakelocks.

Hi guys,
Need some help here.. I am currently on omega v35 with doggly theme and using persus kernel v29.2. My battery is draining very fast. Even on idle for 30minutes, it drop 2%. Is it because of the theme or setting for the kernel?
I had tried flashing back to stock and siyah but the drainage is even worst. Can anyone help me with this? Are there some setting sample for the tweaks which I can follow on? My ram usage is always constant at 700mb, are there any way to reduce it? Basically, I am using my phone for movie and some gaming like slotomania..
Hope to hear from you guys soon with some advice for me.. thanks.

Note that the drain might not real drain but caused by the need for the battery to recalibrate itself after some time.
Usually a full and uninterrupted charge-decharge-charge cycles solves those issues.
Please attach a _full_ and root-enabled log of betterbatterystats (free Version here on XDA) over at least 2-3 hours.
Also include a screenshot of the Android-integrated battery stats in fullscreen mode (without the app listing below)
That should be sufficient data to find the culprit

Dalvik always caches apps you opened in the past in the background and keeps them in a semi-frozen state (no CPU access but still in memory).
The reason is simple: it does not cost any power (RAM always costs the same, regardless of content) and it allows you to multitask between multiple apps.
Should an active app need more RAM it will automatically remove those old apps from cache.
In anutshell; simply don't care. Except if you have some apps that lock themselves in RAM and cause lags but that's not an issue of Android but rather the app itself.
hi
Just wanna ask.. is perseus 29.2 compatible with Omega v35? TiA
Thanks for the advice. So far, the kernel is not giving me any other problem except for the battery issue.

I have a pretty bad battery drainage problem. Multidp and 12_hsic wakelocks are prevalent. The most noticeable is the Phone app waking up the most.
Steps I've taken to combat the High battery drainage
Disabled Fast Dormancy
Greenified Facebook, Playstore, PlayBooks and Keep
All but contacts and chrome are checked under the autosync settings
Even tried apps like Juice Defender, but the battery drainage increased to a whole new level; deleted the app
Installed a custom kernel. Undervolted by -50mv
ROM: CrDroid
Kernel: Temasek Kernel
P.S Tried the BetterBatteryStats thread, but no one did help me there. :/ Hope I solve my problem here. Attached the idle dump.
Thanks in advance.

The Problem is The ROM , not the Phone.
Android 4.3 isn't optimized for S3 yet .
That causes Battery Drain Problems.
My Recommendation is that you search another 4.3 ROM or Downgrade to 4.2.2 or lower.
Previous post is wrong.
Your two first kernel wakelocks mean network use. Search for background sync apps, check Wi-Fi advanced settings and disable Google constant search.
Greenify all apps, except the vital ones for your usage. With paid app and xposed framework you can even freeze push message ones.
All this can be found in a couple of minutes with Google.
Some can achieve .2 %/hour in deep sleep with 4.3.
The Rom is not the culprit.
You wont get good battery life on IDLE on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs. No matter what you do. battery life is ok while the phone is awake but when it is in deepsleep still it consumes the battery on AOKP, AOSP or CM ROMs.

Yes i know AOSP,AOPK & CM don't have as good an idle drain as the touchwiz ROMs, but in my case we do know the reason. So it has to some other reason

Already had Google constant search disabled. And 4.3 is not xposed framework compatible. So can't use that.
And I have disabled background syncing except for chrome and contacts. It's the phone app waking up that's probably the culprit

I use xposed framework... It's compatible.
2.1.4 apk framework works well. Some people need to use SuperSu instead of super user, you can put it with a file explorer in system/app, then reboot and run, there is even a cwm zip somewhere to flash the framework directly.

i dont get it.. your battery drainage is just 1.1% / hour

Yes I know it's just 1.1% but you gotta see that this is just an idle drain. When I start using the phone on day to day basis, it doesn't even last the whole evening let alone the whole day. I'm down to 20% by mid afternoon when i unplug my phone at 8 A.M. .
Whereas when I was on stock, as the people above have said, my battery drain was around .4% and the phone used to last around a day and a half with moderate usage. Yes I know that I can never have that good a battery, but atleast I should be able to eliminate most of the wakelocks with this ROM. But the typical methods like disabling FD, greenifying apps etc etc don't seem to work.

I am on omega rom series 8.1.AOKP
My battery doesnt last a day anymore.
Phone is way faster than stock, but battery sucks.
Are there NO AOKP/CM/AOSP roms that have more stability and better juice at all?
No
