I would say that this isn't bad at all. Wifi and GPS are switched on with sync/fb/twitter all day and random txt messages. 1 minute screen timeout is the most of my battery usage. I was trying out my new car mount which caused the battery graph to reset. Running unnamed 1.2 1GHz max 200 min undervolted on conservative

How do u do tht I cnt keep my battery charged I'm running aosp cmod set CPU everything it just takes forever to charge and it drains quick
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
If it takes forever to charge, that means something is constantly using the cpu power and causing it to discharge while you're charging it. I use an extra battery charger and just swap between the two. Please post your wakelocks from betterbatterystats (available somewhere on the forums for free), your battery graph, installed apps, and current widgets you use.
Mine takes around 5 hours to charge, and that's when the phone is completely off. I'll do another test run today with Bluetooth and Kaiten mail turned off. From looking at the wakelocks in Spare Parts (BetterBatteryStats doesn't work for me with MIUI), those looked like the two main offenders.
Here is a graph showing my charging time:

Somethings holding a wakelock and causing your phoen to be on all the time.
If Android OS is at 70% or above, you've got something waking up your phone.
If you look around, I've got a thread on known battery drainers here in General. I should ask Jivy26 to add it to the FAQ...
Actually, looking at the graph I think MIUI interpolated between the time my phone died and when I turned it on in the morning, so the 5 hour charging time I mentioned is most likely not correct.
Ok, quick update. I uninstalled some stuff that had a lot of activity in my MIUI battery history. I uninstalled Dolphin Browser HD, Amazon app store, Fancy Widgets, Pulse, Mobile Office, Brilliant Quotes. Also removed the IMDB and Flixster widgets from my home screen.
All of these showed activity in the battery history, but didn't show up as holding wakelocks. I guess whoever the culprit was, it just fell under Android OS.
Anyway, I went to bed with 92% battery and woke up 7 hours later with 91% battery left. This is with Bluetooth and wifi on, running GalnetMIUI 1.11.9 ICS with 200 min/1600 max, ondemand/noop. I guess I can't complain now.
I've also noticed that the ui feels a lot more responsive/less laggy, and the battery drops a lot slower when I'm using the phone.

This is common, if you look at my Known Battery Drainers thread you'll see that there are a lot of usage cases where a rogue app can get its usage blamed on Android OS.
Specifically, any app that drives data to your phone will cause the phone to wake every time it receives data. In some cases, this means 800 milliseconds spent resuming/suspending to process 10 bytes of data (which takes the app itself next to no time.)
It sometimes gets worse on wifi because some apps change data usage patterns when on wifi.
A situation like that usually causes a lot of wlan_wake, wlan_rx, or svnet-dormancy wakelocks in /proc/wakelocks (BBS does not show kernel wakelocks properly yet - chamonix added the feature recently but it's not quite working yet.)
My guess is it was fancy widgets/pulse. I use dolphin browser, amazon app store and they do not effect battery life at all.
That is my suspicion as well, and I will try adding apps back one by one to see which one was the culprit.
Right now RILJ Dialer is waking up my phone constantly with hundreds of wakelocks. Many people seem to have this problem, but I haven't seen a solution.
Well, this is looking very good! I never expected this kind of battery life.
Any thoughts on the wakelocks? Not sure if I should worry about them or not.

Have been running unnamed 1.3.1 for about a week. Battery life is good, but it still drops pretty quickly while not being used. Cpuspy is reporting that the phone is spending over 30% of its time at 200mhz, and about 50% deep sleep. This includes my 4 hour work period when I barely even pick up my phone. Any ideas on a cause? I already deleted the Facebook App fyi. Thanks in advance.
I'd suggest installing BetterBatteryStats. You can get it on the Market or search here on XDA for a free version provided from the author.
Fully charge the phone and try not to use it at all for a few hours or more if possible. You can then go back into BBS and it will show you all the Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks that are running since you last charged it.
You can also set a Custom Ref. point and it will wipe out all history and start over if you want to simply do it midday but you have to keep it running in the background or else you'll lose the Custom Ref. point. Hope that makes sense. BBS is a GREAT program to help identify what's eating away at your battery during sleep.
Also, keep in mind that anytime you have it plugged in and charging, it will never go into deep sleep. It will always be showing as time spent at 200Mhz instead.
.
I recommend upgrading to unnamed 1.3.2 and sirrah kernel 2.4.2 (whichever latest one is). I have and I get really great battery life. Tweaked kernels and stoophs FTW.
Thanks for the insight. Better battery stats is exactly the App I was looking for. Also, I have updated to 1.3.2, I tried siyah kernal for a bit, but I didn't notice a difference

Also, make sure to reset CPUSpy stats after removing it from the charger.
Charging inhibits deep sleep.
Forgive me if this is common knowledge but I wanted to bring this to this forum because I didn't see it.
I did a complete wipe and upgraded to CM9 and noticed my battery life wasn't that great. Wasn't as horrible as it got on my CM7 -SGS1, but pretty bad. 9 hours a charge or so, which is enough to get through the day at least. On a tip I downloaded BetterBatteryStats(worth every penny) and started looking at my Wakelocks. I noticed AudioOut_1 was top of the list by an absurd margin. So I did some searching and came across a thread in the Nexus section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389214&page=3 and then to https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/AudioOut_1 Thanks Syn Ack).
Turns out there's an apparent bug that even with the screen off, it being touched can trigger a wakelock on the sound. Sure enough I turned off the Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds and I'm now losing about 4% an hour of light usage, major improvement.
Again sorry if this makes me an asshat, I just wanted to spread it to people who might be having this issue with their fresh CM9 install.

I get huge audio out wakelock too, ill try this out.
Interesting, I'm getting that same process at number 1 but both of those are already disabled for me.
Same here. But it seems like the duration is less than it was when I had sounds on
I'm going to play with this today and see how well it works. I'll post back tonight sometime.

Turn off wifi and battery life is great (on standby). Previously I had wifi on, battery drain 4%-6% an hour, but with wifi off, it drains only 0.8% an hour (95% battery after 6 hours of standby, randomly checking). This is on 3/30 build.

This sounds like you have an app installed that treats wifi data usage differently than cell network data usage. Gonna guess that you had a lot of wlan-rx wakelocks over that period of high drain with wifi on...

I totally agree, with each phone I run a simply test. I'll get to that in a sec. On my last phone "captivate" wifi was actually better than data on standby, but not this phone "SGS2". With that being said: I charge 100% then left wifi on while I went to bed. Woke up with 70% over 8 hours of standby not impressed. Next night did same thing 100% but with data on instead. Woke up with 95%!! ....I personally have up in notification bar data toggle and wifi, I leave data off most of the day while I'm out. I turn it on when I want to check email or FB etc. best amount I've lasted was 1 day 16 hrs... With 26% battery left. Ik some Ppl won't want to do that but just a suggestion. Hope this helps anyone out.
SGS2 Running CM9 using XDA
I unplugged and after browsing, making two calls, a text, and finding some places on google I checked an hour later and bam, I had 97% left. I can live with 3% an hour drain with high usage. I also keep WI-FI and Bluetooth on and have it connected to my car. This definitely fixed my problem, hope it helps everyone else.
My setup is nothing but stock install of CM9(3-30), stock battery and everything.
Well after using it for a full day. (14 hours) I can honestly say that for me. This hasn't improved anything. It hasn't made anything worse either though. I'm sitting at 28% right now. Which is the same as I was getting prior to this change.

ah so same thing, just not in this forum, like the other thread I posted
I did this on my phone yesterday, and it seemed to help quite a bit. After I first did the latest nightly my battery drained stupid quick, after this it dropped down to a normal level.
So yeah, turning off Wifi and the AudioOut_1 drainers, I'm getting 1% or less drain per hour on standby. Awesome stuff guys.

As this is not normal behavior, I'm going to suggest that you look for the app that is using your wifi. I leave my wifi on 24/7. Go to sleep with a full charge, wake up 7-8 hours later with only 3-4% gone.
What's probably the best way to go about doing so?

Kernel wakelocks don't keep the device awake per se. Those are processes that run when the screen is on. That's why the duration of all of them is almost the same. There's not going to be much you can do about those until/if custom kernels come along. You can try a factory reset, though I don't think it will help.
You should focus on partial wakelocks since those keep the CPU on when the screen is off.

This list for kernel wakelocks goes on for a while. The partial wakelocks are minimal, but whatever is causing these kernel wakelocks is whats causing the device to get warm, and subsequently draining the battery at an accelerated rate (roughly 7%+ per hour with minimal usage.)
I have never before seen such an extensive list from BBS on any of my other devices. Usually its the accumulator of all the partial wakelocks at the top of the list of kernel wakelocks by a large margin.

I'm with you. Been searching around for things I can freeze/hibernate to minimize wakelocks. Like stated earlier though we really need a custom kernel to get rid of a lot of those Kernel ones. The Partials aren't really that bad.
I have only had this phone since earlier today though so I'm keeping my eye on BBS like you are

This phone does seemto have a ridiculous abou amount of activity going on. I had the dreaded (nlpcollectorwakelock) battery drain my first day but a reset took care of it. My battery had since calmed down and I'm getting good sot now. My android os stays at around 14-20%as well but a long as my sot is decent I'm not stressing anymore
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
Yea mine is only draining at around 3% am hour with my use according to BBS.
That's just on WiFi and doing some browsing + Tapatalk+ a little YouTube.... So I can't complain.
It'll take a few charge cycles plus keeping an eye what else I can freeze and hibernate.
Considering the display on this thing that's pretty good I'm happy.... Be a little happier with a SaberMod ROM and Kernel though [emoji2]

My battery life is just as good as on my G2. Under normal (moderate/moderate-heavy) use I can get a day out of it easily. Yesterday I went to bed with about 44% left after over 13 hours use (with 2.75 hours of screen-on time).
I would recommend using CPU Spy to make sure the phone is going into Deep Sleep. There might be some process keeping it at a higher functioning state and not allowing the phone to hit Deep Sleep. For the most part, the phone should be in Deep Sleep longer than any other processor state.
I think a factory reset is in order. If that does not help you might just have a bad device, or a bad battery.

My phone is showing a huge number of sensors wakelocking the phone, and it was only in deep sleep 17% of the time since I unplugged it 6 hours ago. That kernel wakelock for the sensors needs to be fixed and then our battery life will be stupid good. You can't get as much screen on time on the G3 as I do on my G2. I was getting up to 10 hours of screen on time on my G2 the best i've managed was 3.5 on the G3. However, custom kernels will probably help there.

The Sensor WakeLocks are quite ridiculous indeed, but what is your phone showing for Partial WakeLocks and Alarms in Better Battery Stats???
Only way I could get mine under control was to use App Ops to limit Google Play Services to NOT keep my phone Awake.
Then I located COM.LGE.IMS and disabled its Receivers then froze it.
Then I Greenify everything possible lol
That Com.LGE.ims thing was waking my phone like crazy, maybe 50-100 times an hour if I remember correctly and I don't even use the feature its tied into... WiFi Calling

Hello everyone,
I've been following these forums every now and then and was very helpful when I encounter some minor problems so far.
But lately I start having a very strange problem on my mom's phone which is a Samsung Galaxy Win (i8552- stock rom- android 4.1.2) and couldn't really find a decent solution or a good explanation so far. So I decided to ask you guys.
The problem is phone is having a bit poor bettery life overall, especially while in idle. I found out most of the times it is losing 2-3% battery per hour while idling (i.e overnight). Sometimes it's slightly more 1% per hour and sometimes between 0.5-1% (which sounds more normal).
While in idle usually Androis OS seems eating up the battery around 50-60%. I disabled most of the notifications, most of the sync options (especially google ones), all kinds of screen sounds, facebook update intervals, uninstalled Avast and also disabled the location access. But these changes didn't really give a noticable difference. Battery drain inconsistency was still there.
After I noticed this strange battery drain I decided to digging it up a bit more and installed GSM Battery and wakelock detector.
Firs that I noticed in GSM battery is that the phone is awake for like 1.5 hours out of 7-8 hours of overnight idling. And Android OS kernel seemed responsible for this. But couldn't really get more clues.
Then I found more clues on the culprit in Wakelock Detector under "kernel wakelocks" tab. Which is vbus_wake_lock wakelock.
WD shows vbus_wake_lock is awake for almost an hour after the last charge, which was 7 hours ago.
After I found this I googled around a bit but couldn't really found a useful explanation except it might be caused by an apple charger. But I know that mom's using the original samsung charger.
I tried rebooting to see if it helps. It's been almost 4 hours now, phone lost around 2% battery which seems ok-ish but the vbus_wake_lock is still there with 25 minutes of awake.
So any idea. What should I do to hunt this wakelock down?
I don't really want to make her worried about her phone though, she seems happy with it, since she is playing some games and charging it every day so not really having a battery issues. But I know that there's something wrong here and I want to fix it.
So I desperately need your helps guys.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry for my English btw, as it's not my native.
