For some odd reason my maps application is draining my battery even though it's not running according to my task manager.
This screen shot was taken after a full charge and sitting idle over nite.

same thing is happening here. i ended up turning off the GPS radio to stop it. i think it says maps when the GPS radio is being used by other apps.
Ok, so I un installed the app imbd and that seemed to fix my problem

Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.

Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.

Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?
Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
how long have you been using that rom?

The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.
Maybe your battery is fried?
I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.
I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?
Today I got almost 2 hours of on screen time before I hit 3% after 9 hours. So I look in battery in settings and Android System is #1 at 57%! Then screen at 20%' followed by cell standby at 9%.
What is causing android system to take up 57% and cause barely 2 hour on screen time?
I had this issue too! after a reboot i havent had this issue agin
check what google services you have auto syncing. aka g+ calender and contacts those can make it really bad.
sounds like a rogue app of some sort.

An app that misbehaves: Sync's data or runs in the background when you are not using it, wakes device during sleep (wakelock) and performs background operations. This could be any app or game you download, usually it is more common in free apps with unknown developers....make sure to check reviews before downloading.
It seems like the restart fixed it. After restart android system is 4th place at only 6%.
Its doing it again today. 67% of battery is android system.
Any help?
I have better battery stats but it's some what hard to understand.

Mobile data has been killing the battery on my AT&T Galaxy S3. I can always tell because it gets warm even with the screen off. The only way I can stop the drain is to turn off mobile data which is not a long-term fix. I can't understand why some days I get amazing battery life, and some days I get a few hours only.
Use juice defender, I've used it for years, it turns off mobile data when the screen is off and re enables it on a schedule you set. It's the only long term fix I have found. Since calls and texts come through 2g this should fix your problem.

So, I had a car trip out to SD from OC for something. I had 100% when I left, no GPS, no wifi, just Spotify. I was playing downloaded music (not through GSM/LTE), but I was losing around 10% every 20 minutes or so. I couldn't believe it, and was wondering if others are seeing this as well? Also, the phone got pretty damn hot (nothing scorching, but noticeably hotter) while playing music.
I was just amazed about this, and was hoping I had something else wrong. I'm running stock ICS and using Sk8's kernel. Anyone else seeing this?

I tend to get that even with music on the sd. Nowhere near that bad of a drain, but pretty bad nevertheless.

Try getting better battery stats and set a custom reference right before starting a music playing session. It might show if there is some other process eating battery while you are playing music.

so, after some searching i found out that my MMS Connectivity was keeping my phone awake non-stop. It was an MMS message that wasn't downloading correctly. I'll be looking into that on my end. After deleting them, and setting my MMS to not download automatically, I no longer have as much drain!
I've been on MJ7 for about a week now and I've noticed battery life is worse. My biggest user is the screen followed by Android OS. Android OS was never this high on the list before. Any ideas why this is happening?
i have not had any issues with battery life on MJ7 so far. at first i thought it was worse, but now it appears to have smoothed out. i let my phone go completely dead on the battery and then keep on the charger til its fully charged. that seemed to help out my battery life. i think i actually get better battery life after the upgrade. you could try a factory reset. or maybe seeing if any other apps are draining your battery, obviously if you do a lot of gaming or have your screen on for long periods of time your battery drains quicker. you may also want to turn your "auto brightness" off and manually control the screen brightness as its a battery killer

When this was happening on the first aosp 4.3 roms, deleting data for the play store and I believe the Google services framework and reboot went a long way to resolving. Also the wifi network settings under location services us a hog disable it unless you really need it.

How often do you have facebook set to update? You could set the interval for something like 1-2 hours, that also helps.

Hi
Can you please confirm this helps for the Android OS battery usage ? i'm getting around 54% for Android OS by EOD
Hi.
I am used to get about 4h30min-5 hours max but after doing this little trick I am getting 3 hours 20 minutes with 55% battery left.
The trick is to go into settings- apps- all, find android system and force close it. Don't worry, it will start up again immediately but the battery draining process seem to be killed.
Android OS is no longer the one causing the most battery drain. Android system has settled down too. Check it out!
(It seems like I got another problem to solve - Facebook is draining a whole lot now cos it's using the GPS. Still getting amazing battery life though!)

Coming from a Droid RAZR, you learn a lot of tricks to milk battery life. Trust me, the things I had to do to get those numbers aren't worth it. The drop off in the battery graph is when I got home and was able to turn everything back on and use it normally.
Right now, I average 18 hrs battery, and 5 hrs screen-on:
I am on stock ROM 11A.
Rooted and TWRP
Screen brightness set to auto/60% max
GPS and WiFi toggled on when I need it.
Everything on EXCEPT WiFi and Verizon location services
No disabled or frozen system apps or processes.
4 push emails.
I average 600 texts a month.
I average 6-8 GB on 4G a month.

For your Facebook GPS wakelock, let it connect and lock onto your GPS and the wakelock should stop. If you're closing up Facebook before it has a chance to lock, it will create the wakelock. If you don't want FB to connect to your GPS, make sure GPS is off before you open FB. Also, turning off GPS while in FB before it can lock will create the wakelock as well.

Actually, the numbers are legit. I will admit though, I've never been able to get close to that again. My average when I first got the phone was between 6-7 hours screen on time and about 12 hours battery life. Those 2 days, I just happened to be working massive overtime. Almost all of the screen on time was the second day. The dropoff on the graph was when I got home, turned everything on, and actually used it. It also helped that my work provides me a work phone which I was using during that time instead.
I have tried to hit those numbers again, but I can't, it was a one time deal which is why I took a screenshot. In my head, I'm telling my self that the battery is starting to get worn, but the truth is, I can't put it down long enough or put up with all of the disabled features.
The best I've been able to do since then is 18 hours battery life, about 3 hours screen on. And, 7 hours screen on, 10 hours battery. At this point, I no longer care. I'm happy with my 15 hours battery and 4-5 hours screen on.
It would be more if the battery wasn't starting to wear out....

You have to do this whenever you reboot your phone. I usually turn my phone off, charge it and then turn it on. The first thing I do after putting my pin code in, is to force close andros system.
