Those are very short wakelocks for a 12 hour period and nothing to worry about. Each one shows up as 0%. Your phone will never hit 100% deep sleep.
You should run CPU Spy and see how much time your phone is in deep sleep mode. If you're over 90% then you're doing good. Better Battery Stats will give you more info about wakelocks if you're interested, but it looks like you're fine.

Im using betterbatterystats to track Wake ups. In my case Google places was a problem.

Bad battery overnight

Hello.
I'm loving absolutely everything about my s3 it's amazing.
But I have one issue, my battery life overnight.
Something is keeping phone awake!
How do I stop this?
Thank you.
Also is there going to be a fix for cell standby? Has any other phone had this cell standby issue and been fixed?

Search for betterbatterystats on xda and use that to find whatever is keeping your phone from deep sleep.

Check wifi sleep policy its by default always on turn it off it will make difference...

But his WLAN is off as you can see. I have the same problem loosing 30% over night although being in Flightmode.
Usual suspects are latitude and the system backup. But as it has been said before get BetterBatteryStats and try to find the battery hog there.
Will do thank you.
Just charging now then will check batt stats tonight.

How to improve my battery?

Hi forum
This is my battery on a daily use. I'm using siyah kernel 1.5rc1 and latest omega v13. How can I improve it?

That's perfectly OK battery life.
Delete juice defender, other than that you're good to go.

So much spam! Your battery life seems fine to me by the way. Nearly 4 hours screen on time and still 36% battery left. Could easily get another hour or more.

Remove juice defender? Ok I mainly use it to turn my data off when the screen is off and to turn off my network during 12-8am. ' if I remove that what other app should in use?

Don't use any, if you have to then use tasker.
Juice defender has he most wakeups and time awake of all your apps so its definitely not helping.

I think you will find .
Spam in this context means a repetition of the same question asked over and over again on the forum .Compounded by users refusing to follow the rules and search or read all the other identical threads .
Other app use Better Battery Stats looking for wakelocks during sleep .

You can undervolt by 100 if you want to, its up to you. Some phones can take it, some can't. I haven't seen anyone complain about not being able to yet though.
Don't bother underclocking the CPU, there's no need, just let it at stock speeds.
42 degrees is fine, that's not too hot.

I think my battery drains too quickly is this right?

Hey all.
In my s3 I played a game for 10 mins and for rest of time I was installing apps and tapatalking is my battery draining too quick?
After full charge in 1hr 20,% lost
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Hey
If you've lost 20% with your screen on constantly for an hour and a half and played a battery hungry game for 10 mins then I'd say you're getting average battery performance.
That side, you can hardly give it definitive answer Based on the info you've given. My advice is to grab Better Battery Stats from Play Store and run your phone normally for a couple of days.
The big problem with this phone is that it's impossible to put down though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ur mobile coverage is rather bad...
could be d cause.
looks normal to me for continue use.. screen, wifi, etc on almost the entire hour and a half. once the device goes idle/sleep the "awake" bar should not be blue, otherwise if it stays blue that means a app or something is keeping it awake.
I had avast anti virus and it was keeping my phone awake.. So I uninstalled that

Better Battery Stats for the apps and wake_locks and cpu spy for cpu sleeptime mate
You can also disable fast dormancy.

That seems normal to me. I bought a second Samsung battery. Now, I'll never be afraid of running out of juice! It's worth it compared to getting a 4,000mAH battery that makes your slim samsung turn into an obese samsung. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Overnight battery drain

I am new to Android and very new to Samsung devices coming from iphone. Last night I was at 100% battery before bed and woke up at 71%. I didn't use the phone once. Is that normal? Should I be turning things off or something? 30% overnight drain seems wrong.

Seems like something is amiss. I left mine on all night lastnight at 33% I THINK and its at 18% right now. 1d 1h 55m 47s on battery with 3h 43m 23s of screen on time right now at 10:29AM
Hmm. I forgot to say I have power saving enabled and the usual battery saving tips too.

That js a very big problem. as you can see i get alot of time on battery. The graph shows that it charged about 10% while I was sleeping (not true). Are you rooted?

I am rooted. I checked battery usage and messaging was at the top? An exchange account is fully set to manual and nothing else.

my device drains less than 2% over the course of 8hrs when sleeping...you have a app causing a wakelock.

No. There's something wrong. Force Close the messaging app and restart it. Wait a few hours and see if its battery usage goes down.
Possible...
The most likely culprit is the "wakelock" issue mentioned above.
Basically it means something... most likely a poorly written app (also most likely a 3rd party non-google app) is preventing the phone from entering its idle/sleep mode, in which it scales back the CPU to minimum, and other bits enter low power states to conserve battery life.
An app that likes to live on the internet or update frequently, or constantly wakes the device to do things, can cause large amounts of drain as well.
It is also possible that signal strength is a cause. Poor/low signal can keep the radio working at higher power levels and that drains battery fast.
Is there any way to check for wakelock applications causing issues? I have removed a few possible applications and force stopped others. I seem to be losing 1-3% battery per hour on idle. Normal now based on everyone's experience?
If it is a signal strength issue I can live with that but the drain still seems steep.
Sorry for the questions. Too new to this to be able to determine if there are issues and everyone is having great battery life.

Several battery apps that can show that type of info, I've used Gsam battery monitor before myself.
gsam battery moniter is what i use on a daily basis. it will let you know what is draining your battery. Link is for the free version. I have the paid.

Gsam battery monitor is pretty amazing. Thank you. I have an application called "Media" that seems to be running at idle. I can disable it but it looks like I would disable the Download application. It includes a process com.android.providers.media and android.process.media.

15 min screentime 6 hours standby battery 59 %

Hi again.
I tried again different roms , Stock , Custom.
Used many kernels stock and custom.
My battery drains with 15 min screentime and 6 hours standby to 59 percent.
What the hell is wrong with this phone....
Hope someone can help me or i really will break it in 2 pieces!
We'd need battery stats screen shots and info from betterbattery stats or gsam.
Unless you want us to guess?

Have you ever had a good battery life on your S3? Look at this point of view... maybe the battery is general-degraded or it wasn't a good quality even from the beggining...

If I pull my battery when its 100 % it goes back to 96 when I turn it on.
Is this any good?
You have a rogue app chewing your battery causing wakelocks and not letting your phone sleep properly as suggested above get betterbatterystats and let it run for a full charge/discharge and then upload the screenshots...

I tried it earlier but never had wakeloks with cpu spy.
It was always in deep sleep mode.

So let me get this straight? You've looked at the info from battery stats and better battery stats and decided there's nothing wrong, but then you ask our help but refuse to give us the same info?
...and you expect us to be able to give you a solution to your problem?

What is your screen on time?
Bear in mind 1% an hour would mean the phone lasts 100 hours (Over 4 days!!!) most of us who use their phone have to charge every night.
Only 30 mins
Not great but not terrible. You can often expect 1% every 2-3 minutes with screen on
And you have an hour of not "good" signal

Yes, results are not so bad. You can disable Wifi to save a little battery (the first kernel wakelocks).
