let us know if you find the culprit...im just not sure.
GPSd would be the GPS Daemon. Means your GPS is active? Do you use Cerebus/Find my Droid/Samsung mobile services? If any of these are active and tracking your device then that might explain it?
I am getting the same issue, I was using gamerzrom rom since a week without issues, yesterday the problem started and the battery is sucked so fast..
Do you have Mobile Defense installed? Using the BetterBatteryStats app it appears that for me the drain is related to a part of Mobile Defense. It was listed as "ars" related to the Mobile Defense process which caused a 55m wakelock & spiked gpsd to use a steady 25% CPU.
In Mobile Defense settings I disabled all backup options and checked all boxes under the Malware scanning preferences. I haven't seen the issue surface in 2 days.

I remedied this issue just by upgrading my software. I jumped into ICS and the last two roms haven't had this issue. So all I can say is... Update. Good luck guys.

Yesterday My I9300 also has the same problem, and I didn't enable the Samsungdive function.
but I know that it should relate to GPS. below is what i do.
1. I empty all GPS software buffer.
2. Switch off phone,
3. Take out SIM card,
4. Switch on phone, disable wifi,
5. Open the GPS software then search GPS signal,
6. after GPS get your position, then empty the GPS software buffer again.
..............Then the GPSD never drain your battery.
I think this is a bug, the GPS is always searching for the GPS signal so that drain the battery.

After installing wifi calling I noticed a serious decline in my battery life. As in, unplug phone at 8am, battery dead by 2pm. Used system panel to find out wifi calling uses 30% of the cpu even if you've neve opened it! !
I used titanium backup to freeze the app and that fixed my battery life.
Problem is, now I see rom builders including the app in their roms. I installed Team Whiskey's froyo rom and there it is, wifi calling taking all my battery life. Problem this time is I can't freeze the app! Can't even kill it. If you are a rom maintainer, please please please stop including this app! It is only marginly interesting, and it destroys our batteries

Since my phone has been unplugged on obsidian froyo, I haven't sent a text or call, wifi calling is connected, not a percent of the battery was used by this app according to the system battery use...
On my mytouch 4g the wifi calling is what gave me such better battery life...

WiFi uses more battery than cell radios.

False. Using a strong Wi-Fi signal when available will save you tons of battery over the regular cell. The probably with the Wi-Fi app is that it is always running and uses TONS of CPU. I'm talking upwards of 30% at a time.

I'm not referring to using the wifi calling. I do not have it enabled - wifi is turned off altogether, but wifi calling app is chewing through the cpu, killing the battery.
I'm not having this problem using Obsidian. It's likely not the app itself - may depend on the ROM you're using.
I noticed it taking up 30% of my CPU even when I wasn't using it. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it either. So, I uninstalled it for now.
I am not having battery problem either, in fact I believe it is helping to get better battery life. Although, I am thinking the wifi calling is not very mature yet. I tried it out few times, and I had problem of people not hearing me well on the other side while they sounded great on my side. Is anybody else having this problem?

I don't mean to hijack, but does wifi calling use minutes...if so what's the point unless you have poor coverage at home?

it does use minutes. point is if you dont have cell coverage, you can use wifi for calls instead.

I think this may be the cause for some battery drain issue some people here are experiencing. This means when your phone is suppose to be "sleeping" It's not. Here is more of a detail graph view of the Wifi Calling app through the day:

Guys the problem is that Wifi calling is using CPU when it's disabled and wifi is OFF.. Not while using the thing. Thats something different from what we are talking about.
Sometimes a reboot fixes it but it acts up again after a few mins and use even more cpu.
Hi all,
I'm totally out of ideas and search terms. Basically after I've rooted my phone and had Psycho Mantis with Siyah kernel on it, the battery was experiencing issues.
To give you an indication, it drains the whole battery in one day with minimal use.
Last week I was out somewhere for a greater portion of the week, and since there are no (decent) receptions, I turned of data. When I got back to civilization, I had my data turned back on.
Since then, the battery was being drained even more! Now my battery will struggle to live half a day.
I've looked at battery stats threads and this and that, installed different battery stats apps, but just don't know what's wrong.
I've became so desperate on this issue that I don't know where to even look further, so if anyone had experienced this problem, or knows whether there are any trustworthy sources that I can investigate this further, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

If you have better battery stats app you can post a dump so I can see what's using your battery. Also download cpu spy from the play store to see if your phone is deep sleeping.
If you have any widgets that sync, delete them, if you're using Facebook use friendcaster, turn off gps and location settings, you can try to underclock your device to 800mhz, use the lowest brightness settings, turn off the hardware keys and bln, you could try indervolting but it can be unstable for some devices.
Hope that helps a little

Right I've got both apps you said, but CPUSpy doesn't tell me (or at least I don't know where it says) what's eating my battery. BetterBatteryStats I can't work out the names and codes it uses, so again I couldn't work out what's going on.
I'll try to work out how to get you a screendump.

Anyway, what I've done now is got rid of all those weather apps and push notification for my emails (particularly exchange account).
I'll try again after I got a bit more post counts to post the image.
Now having 5 posts, I'll try again:
Regardless of whether above worked, I needed to wait 5 minutes between posts to ensure no spam.
I've recently installed Jelly Bean (LS8) on a family member's S2 - and they've been having some trouble with it. I've attached a screenshot with the battery usage (it has <30 minute screen usage if that matters).
This type of drain occurs over Wi-Fi and 3G.
I've ruled out:
- The age of the battery (it's one month old).
- The cellular signal (always 3 - 4 bars over UMTS).
- The Bluetooth radio (I've turned it off and the same battery drain still occurs).
It's also worth noting that the process "Android OS" made the phone stay awake for 5 out of the 10 hours the phone was switched on. I've turned off Google Now and all geo-location services. The Wi-Fi arrows ALWAYS seem to be blinking. However, previously on ICS 4.0.4, leaving Wi-Fi on would not cause any such issues. What could be the problem?

You could try Watchdog task manager which will tell you if a particular process is using an unusually high proportion of your CPU resource.
If you find it is "Android Media Process" then try installing "Rescan Media Root" which will allow you to disable the scanning process. I assume you're rooted...
Have a look at other resource hogs while you're there - I found Facebook to be one of the other culprits.
I have attached two relevant screenshots from BBS. The wakelock "wlan_rx_wake" seems to be the main issue here, but I have no clue what's causing it. If it's important, there was pretty much only one partial wakelock present, ActivityManager-Launch, and for 30 seconds only.
Thanks for the help all, it's much appreciated.

Got the same issue and went back to ics 4.0.4 finally.
This ROM seems not to be for everyone. Made a full wipe bevor and after flashing. Re-flashed, powered the battery up to 100% and flashed it. At first it was worse than yours than i made it to last 21 hours till phone died. Installed BBS to find out what's going on but couldn't identify a single problem. Android OS used to much power. Was awake to long. Screen uses to much power as well. Seems to be a totaly f... up installation. Tried it 3 or 4 times but nothing went better significantly.
Hope you will have more luck

You're good there.
What is it that you're using bluetooth for?
Car pairing. I've tried with it off, and the same battery drain occurs.
I'm going to try connecting the phone to an access point with no Internet connection and see if the drain still occurs. If not I'm gonna guess it's something on my network or a remote server trying to initiate a connection... Otherwise it's something on the phone that's causing the issue.
I'll try using Shark to capture the packets, I may be able to find something there.

Drain
Dear friends,
I had CM 9 with syhia kernel and my battery last 14/15 hrs of real world usage. I was happy.
I updated to cm10.1 qnd that was stupid... Really broken software.
So I wipe again and flash the omega rom based on ls8. Not more than 9 hrs. So i flashed dorimanx kernel 7.45 and with default profile I was able to hit 11 hrs of moderate use. Using battery profile got me around 13 but the phone behave like a htc hero...
I will see tomorrow and post BBS but in the mean time I would like to know if, in your opinion, this huge drain would get better using a neat sammy rom with a custom kernel.
Thank you

Yeah, I had to Factory Reset twice to get rid of the lag, and it didn't completely resolve it. It's like even some of the core apps aren't optimized. Weird. The stuttering animations really make me pissed
If you want developer options go to settings, about phone, software information, more, then click on Build Number a bunch of times and it re-enables developer options
I feel bad for u guys tht had to wait all this time and now have performance/battery issues ... I have none here hahahaha
Actually I think it's better after that 2nd reset. It may have just needed some time to "settle"

No problem here. I did notice that my phone was running hot after the update. I ended up powering it off for a few minutes. When I powered it back up, it ran at normal temperature. Or maybe it just cooled down.

Quick question does the calibration on this app work to get a more accirate time? I dont want to waste an hour on it if it doesnt work. Thanks in advance.
P.s. loving the app mind.

The calibration feature seems to be based on tried-&-true techniques & would only make it more accurate. It works pretty well without calibrating, so the worst that could happen is that it will work better. I am glad you like the app. I liked it so much that I purchased the ad-free version to support the Dev.

I guess it can only make it better ... will give it a go whenever I get an hour free. Thanks again :good:
@BigBroham1984 so I did the calibration and the new times it gave were stupid, for some reason all the calibration tests (video, music and internet) took 3% each which made me think the calibration was off lol. Anyways I uninstalled it and reinstalled a fresh copy to get the numbers back to the old one.
So now I have 9.30hrs of Internet on a widget (which is spot on screen time) HOWEVER if I open the app at all it sets it 12 hrs Internet time remaining so now I basically just have the widget which works nicely but if I do click it accidentally I will have to reinstall it Lol. Apart from this annoyance the widget is great.

I ended up getting 3% for music, 5% for video, and 7% for internet. Thats significantly worse than yours and it estimated about 6 hours of wifi time. Which is pretty close. I generally get 5-6 hours

5-6 hours , has it always been that bad or is it just the issues your having causing such battery drain..
