I see the H icon, it's HSDPA. Drains battery like a Pro. Try do deactivate when you don't use. Deactivate sync, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, everything.
The 1st icon is Operator Signal, so it's HSDPA+Normal operator signal (HSDPA is the villain)
The 2nd is the idle phone, it consums less battery than HSDPA. So, your phone is consumpting lots of battery. Maybe it's the battery!
you might get rid of the problem, if your manufacturer releases an update, as the draining looks like missing deepsleep

Yes, it´s HSDPA. But I need it on, because I want to be online. The rest of the consumers are allways turned off: GPS, WiFi & Bluetooth.
I don´t think it´s the battery, because it happens since the battery was almost new. The key here is to know what the phone is doing when executing this 2 tasks. As you say, 1st icon= "HSDPA". OK. But the 2nd= "idle phone", and this bar should be shorter.

Thanks for the help, but I don´t have any manufacturer ROM or stock ROM installed. I have a Cyanogen ROM (which is one of the stablest and more tested ROMs in the market).

Hey, got my phone yesterday and it's been great.
Updated to KE7 via Kies and I haven't done root yet.
Battery is good. 3G or wifi always on, but when I see the battery stats, they show high percentage of Android OS (16%) and Android System (19%).
Also, 9% of Wi-fi sharing, but I haven't used it yet.
Is there a way to reduce this numbers?
Is it ok if I kill wi-fi sharing here?
Thanks

Just use the phone and dont be another paranoid about usage stats .
You can kill WiFi sharing its sharing your WiFi with others for free .
The page you are looking at says of the xxx amount of power used
the power has been used mostly by the display etc etc .
It is not a measure of the battery power just how its total use has been proportioned out .
No battery stats 100% charged switch on Display shows 74% .
Thats 74% of the 1/4 % of battery used not 74% of the battery .

I don't have wifi sharing turned on it with KE7 it keeps using up the most resources of anything. I ended up having to freeze it.

thanks man.
I'm not paranoid yet.
I'm just concerned if my phone may have any issues.
Actually I don't notice any of the problems people report here.
GPS is locking fine, battery is good. Wi-fi keeps on most of times, it's not getting too hot, etc.
I've just done my first full charge since yesterday.
I'll see how it will perform.
Another question. I can't turn data off. Downloaded APNdroid but it doesn't turn it off.
Is there a way I can put a toggle in the notification bar with wi-fi, GPS, etc?
Im attaching some pics so that u may get idea.

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat
This thread explains and shows what Android OS is and is not - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18140918
Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)
So hi guys!
I have a question regarding the location service of JB. I'm talking about the google location service over wireless connection - not gps.
I have two devices - both running jelly bean. I have Google now completely disabled also i ticked off location history, i simply want to use location for stuff like weather apps and maps, so i see where i am when i open the map.
I have this feature enabled since i was running Froyo on my Desire back in the days And it was never an issue in terms of battery drain.
But now its just aweful. On both my devices i can basically DOUBLE the standby time when i disable the location service... And if i check BetterBatteryStats app it always places location services in first place for wakelocks.
Here comes the question: Is this a general Bug on Jelly Bean or is there a way to make it behave like it did on ICS or GB? I dont need it to update every 1min or whatever it does to drain my battery... Once every hour is more than sufficient! Are there settings for this somewhere?
See Screenshot on how it looks like on my Transformer prime. For my SGS III this would show up as Android-System, but its the same thing in BetterBatteryStats.
cheers!

I have been wondering the same thing. What I don't understand is why the drain is so bad even on Wifi. I don't know much about coding, but it seems like there should be no reason to check your location as long as you are on a Wifi network because obviously you haven't moved far since you are still connected. I have over 30 minutes held awake by maps and never left my Wifi network.

Map applications are the most power drain , it must open the wireless network and GPS,They are all power consumption
Well at least i'm not alone anyway i disabled the location services on my devices for the moment and only enable them when i need it. Big improvement in standby drain! Its a workaround but no solution...
cheers

Maybe you can use One Power Guard from android play shop, can help you solve the standby problem.
clouds5, did you ever find a permanent solution better than to turn on location services when needed? Your op describes my situation perfectly (except with sgs ii, jb) and I now only tick on location services right before I fire up maps/navigation/etc. Makes a huge difference in the amount of standby time, but I'm looking for a more satisfying solution.
Hi. I commented on a previous post about how great my battery is on 4.1.2 with wifi on, much better than 4.1.1, was draining at about 0.7-1% per hour overnight with 5 hours screen on time.
Anyway, last night I thought I would try something else and when I went to bed I turned off wifi and left on 3g. What a mistake! Battery drained from 71% to 24% in 7 hours. Thats about 6% per hour!
Nothing else has changed, no apps were left running. My screenshot looks like it couldnt go back to sleep on 3g? I dont have wifi at work and need my phone during the day, recommendations? Flash back to 4.1.1? I've seen others complaining about same issue on 3g but as mentioned above, couldnt find the thread. On the screenshot, where wifi turns off the third time was when I went to sleep- the battery hemoragies at this point.

I just checked my data usage last night and nothing was used so it wasn't a app syncing or anything, just doesn't like been on 3G!
If I turn wifi off and turn mobile data also off, it hardly drains at all. As soon as mobile data is on, it's constantly awake. I have quite a good signal also. Most strange.
I will just keep wifi off and mobile data off at work, I may get more work done anyway!

Ok, I have found my problem, sort of. Just realised, when wifi is not on, even though I have a h in top screen, I'm getting no data. Tried running some speed tests etc and didn't work at all. The orange download arrow is never on and the green upload arrow is nearly always on. I'm wondering if I have had a bad flash? Did it via kies. I'm on o2uk if that helps. Tried switching to 2g and I get a icon, with orange and green arrows but still no data! Just spoke to o2 and they have resent me all my 3g internet settings etc but still not working.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks for all the help!
I have reflashed via Odin and that didn't resolve it. I have then done a complete factory reset and that hasn't resolved it either. What should I do now? Is it a rma job?
Hi, i have some problems with this process, in battery use from settings, the android OS has a BIG BATTERY DRAIN, this works since the phone is unplugged, and my phone haven`t deep sleep, i lose 2-3% percent per hour in better battery stats the phone is awake ALL TIME and CPU SPY show me the lowest frequency is 384mhz and deep sleep doesn`t exist HELP ME PLEASE
Have you tried turning off all non-important services and sync , and see if that helps ??
Also there are some after market applications available on play-store that prevents such wake ups , by killing them. I couldn't recall them properly but I think they are named as Deep Sleep battery saver or something similar.
You can also use android tuner , to see what are the causes behind that.(Task manager has extensive features to look and control them.)
i havent active services (auto sync off,facebook notifications off, messenger off, gps off, google location off, etc), so i dont know what happen ill try to post some screen of my battery uses, this may help, thanks man! and sorry for my english
try some app like android tuner , it'll tell you which specific process is keeping it alive . It'l give more detailed insights into the running tasks.

Can't say about it just by looking at these charts . You'' have to use some third party tool that provides monitoring of system processes . It'll give some info.
