I have seen a lot of people talking about horrible battery life and have to simple pointers to get great battery life
#1 underclock to just around 1ghz; I have mine underclocked to 1.08 GHz and am at 7hrs on battery and still around 70% with mild usage a vast improvement from before where I would have 5 hrs and then be at 10%
#2 facebook live stream sync seems to never fully sync I had it set to sync once a day but it would sync for hours and then 30 mins later start syncing again for hours I thought it just was an initial sync thing but it has done it for about 2 weeks now I have been on the same Rom for this time only thing I do is wipe cache and reboot every other day which is sad but whatever cus I really like the friend widget with facebook statuses.
Just wanted to give you guys some advice also in the ics/sense3.6 roms I have noticed V6 supercharger to be a vast improvement on the stock kernel just because of how it regroups app and level the oom at a reasonable level.

I suspect the screen to be a little to good. The density and size our against us I think cus my friends wife has a huge Samsung note and she gets like 9hrs from a full charge so something isn't right.
You have tried what I'm talking about though huh? Cus I noticed a huge improvement by underclocking to 1.08 and 128mhz on the low side also the conservative govner will lag a little at such a low CPU rate but helps to but with on-demand and underclocked I have no noticeable lag

Get juice defender from the market and set up a customized profile. This will turn off your radios when not in use and if you want there is still an option to have it turn on and sync every so often. Works great for me. Today I had 16
hours unplugged with screen on for almost 3 hours and I was still at 49%. This is on an extended battery so take it for what its worth.

To be honest i was expecting a slightly longer battery life. Judging from what people write around here their battery life is considerably longer than mine.
I was looking at battery drain chart and was wondering if there is an app or another way i can check what contributes to my phone being 'Awake' as from what i see in the chart it's awake alot. Maybe a bit too much.

Upload a pic of your percentages, that'd help a lot with seeing what your problem is and therefore how to fix it.
Oh god, stop making new threads about the battery life. Your battery life is completely normal. Theres a thread JUST like this posted like 30 mins ago, I'll take my reply off it;

Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.
Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.
But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.
But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

long story short. Your battery life is COMPLETELY normal.
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.
Hello guys,
I flash twice my Xperia U to ICS and I done it well. At frist one, i made without reset factory and the second one with reset factory.
In both cases I got the same problem.
The ICS is draining battery life hard, even in stand by. No mater what, It consumes about 25% for each 4h. Using hard or using nothing.
I instaled GSam Battery Manager and it says its Kernel and Android OS.

When I used gingerbread, my battery lasted almost 2 days easily.
Android version 2.3.7. It lasted 41h and still have 19%.
Please, someone can help? I tried everything i know. No matter if data or wifi is turned on or off, it will consume lot of battery. I tested.
It seens impossible to reach 24h in this situation.
Same here
New ICS su.....
I'd uninstall the task killer and battery defender to begin with, they will drain your battery like crazy.

Try using titanium backup
Freeze all the applications and services which you are not using..
If u do a thorough search in the forumyou wil find the list of services which are safe to freeze
Set maximum cpu usage to 200mhz when screen is off..

Yes definitely u need root
I'm not using my U yet, got a sim in it, but still using my old phone for now. I'm running ICS and am getting 12-15 hours battery with less than 10 minutes use. The rest of the time it's in standby, there's a pretty bad battery bug, I've not figured out what causes it. On GB I was getting 15hours medium use (~3 hours) and would still have 40% battery left. Battery info is showing it as awake the whole time it's on standby.
My phone`s original battery lasts for one day in normal use. I bought a 2680mAh battery in eBay and now I can use my phone all day long without any problem.
Hi,
I'm off to a festival soon and usually I have to bring 2 standard fully charged batteries and a 4300mAh anker battery to get through because all the ROMs I use seem to drain my battery, idle or not.
I have rooted my S3 since the beginning, going through a ridiculous amount of custom ROMs but now I'm starting going back to stock would be a better option. I've been using an iPhone 5 recently and was absolutely amazed when I fully charged it at 100% and then 2 hours later it hadn't dropped a single percent, granted it was locked the whole time but if I did this with my current S3 then I would of lost probably around 10 percent.
Can anybody recommend me a good ROM and tell me how much battery they're left with when they go to sleep/wake up. Approximately I will lose probably about 35-40% during the night.
right now i'm using the latest version of android revolution on my i9300
Stay on sammy based roms if you want better battery life, and if you want, stay on stock for stability, just fully debloat it from all of samsung crapola and install for ex. boeffla kernel. Kernel is the main succesor for good battery life in my opinion.
Then try playing with the kernel in boeffla settings, if you stick to zzmoove governor you'll get max 1% drop overnight (that's 8-9h).
Also to mention, all apps are greenified except Facebook and Whatsapp, WiFi was on but sync, gps, bluetooth etc was off, aaand battery is 1.5y old.
P(r)oof:
When i wen't to sleep round 1AM it was on 71%, in 9AM it was on 70%.

I had boeffle before but didn't alter the default governor, just changed it to zzmove/zzmove battery so going to charge phone to full and see what drops I have, thanks for the tip
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.
