Hi Guys,
Coming from a blackberry in the past, battery life hasnt been splendid for me at all. Having switched to sgs3, i am running the custom rom and kernel as stated on my siggy.
I am looking to have better battery life if possible. If you guys need more information let me know. I hope the single screenshot is enough.
Please comment if I am experiencing good battery life or not. I am also contemplating to download BetterBatteryStats to check my wakelocks.
Cheers,
Anjoid
P.S Feel free to post your battery life with a screenshot here as well, and I hope to learn more from that. and i cant seem to attach any file. when i click on attach, another window pops up that asks me to sign in. and when i do, it repeats the process.

Please do. There is a free APK of BetterBatteryStats here on Xda.
Since switching to Cyanogenmod9 with DXLF3 modem and Siyah Kernel, by standby battery drain has been between 1-2% with 3G and Sync enabled. It would be even somewhat better if it was von 2G. I also configured the kernel in ExTweaks for better responsiveness on the cost of battery life.
Please specify your usage and battery life. People who only use the phone for the odd phone call experience up to 5 days of battery life, while I usually have 20% left at the end of the day. Totally different usage scenarios.
Also make sure your network supports fast dormancy. To check, dial *#0011# on stock dialer (not Go Dialer!) and check the RRC state if the phone has not been transferring data for some time. It should state IDLE when the phone is connected to HSPA/3G.

I'm pretty new to WM 6.5 & I'm sad that there isn't a battery usage statistics tab in the power options anymore like there is on 6.1. Is there any way to get this back?
*edit* screen shot from my TP2 with 6.1 for reference:

BattClock?

Wow I just checked on the stock 6.5 for the TMOUS TP2 & it has the battery info tab as well. Why did HTC get rid of this?

I've seen that before, but I'm more interested in the statistics vs the amount of battery life I have left. I like knowing when the last time it was fully charged was, how long it was in standby, actual phone usage, & talk time.

Good idea to add these statistics to BattClock. I will add those in the upcoming version.

wait you can do that? that'd be awesome! please & thanks! i really miss this feature.
I saw a thread that will allow me to remove HTC customizations & i'm gonna try that when I get home tonight to see if this is actually still on the phone but skinned over with Sense so it's not accessible.
*edit* tested the files to change back to M$ version of the battery & backlight settings & it looks as if HTC stripped the battery information tab entirely.
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.
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

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
I've noticed that lately (couple of months) my beloved Z4 tablet's battery performance is less than optimal.
I'm about to go through the song and dance of battery optimization, but I wanted to find abusive apps.
Here's what I see; battery is being consumed mostly by the bluetooth connection I keep on nearly 100% of the time I'm using my tablet because of the BK50 keyboard.
Is anyone experiencing something similar or has any recommendation?
thanks,

Im using lineage os and some gladly helped me out with battery im sure tis will work on stock rom no root too. Enable aeroplane mode, disable WiFi when screen is off and disable Bluetooth. Not sure why but I noticed WiFi greatly drains the battery having it off makes it last much longer.

I would try to upgrade to the latest ROM and hopefully some Bluetooth settings are reset after this.
If this does not help do a factory reset.
You could also try a search on "bluetooth reset" on xda.
I get several days of usage (reading, websurfing in the evenings) out of my tablet where Bluetooth is normally switched of.
On my SONY XZ where Bluetooth is on but only utilized in the car or sometimes with a headset it does not even make it to the list of battery drainers.
