I'm getting extremely bad battery life (losing around 12 percent an hour on light use). I checked BBS and saw that level wake locks have been keeping my phone awake for a majority of the time that the screen is off. Could anyone give me any insight on how to fix this? Any help is appreciated.
Try another kernel.

I've tried almost all of the ones compatible with my ROM. I have an evo from virgin mobile though so there aren't nearly as many.
What do you see under alarms and partial wake locks

I had to charge it so the stats reset but this is a good indication.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm seeing the dhd wakelocks on my evo 3d as well, stock ICS

evo3d comes with a task manager, check whats on and kill it. i do it often
Try watchdog.. it will notify you if an app is above threshold.

i had a similar issue, nothing i did helped out... i ended up doing a factory reset and it seemed to resolve the issue. i have most of the same apps i had before and im getting great battery life now.

Try using OS monitor from the market. Go through the settings, change the sorting method to "load" and watch for BS running that shouldn't be.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Turn auto sync off, that seems to help a little. Set task manager on home screen and use it every time you exit an app. The battery life on this phone is disgusting.

The only time I had really bad battery life was with the overclock kernal. I ghetto adb'd it to my phone around 12est and by 6pm est it was dead not low battery but completly dead. I poped the battery out reverted to stock temp rooted it without overclock now im back to the 12 hours heavy use 2 days with min usage.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

I had been getting awesome battery life on my extended battery and had 4g coverage almost constantly. A full day 8-11pm no charging. Now I'm getting 8-9 hours depending on use and even turned off 4g and it hasn't helped since I started to not see 4g often.
Anyone else noticing a difference?

Install GSam battery monitor. See what apps are staying awake. Google maps likes to stay awake a lot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I'll give that a shot. Downloaded it and going to check it tomorrow and see.
A friend mentioned maybe my radio is not catching signals right and constantly searching for 4g but confused since I was constantly at 4g and I have not seen much 4g on my phone lately.

I keep background data off, I turn it on and off when I need it, I hate constant notifications.
Been running this for dad and my battery life last for like 2 hours and then drains i have check the settings and turned off auto back light and turned all the way down and set the sleep time to 15 min and still drains really bad. Is any one else having any trouble with battery. Also the Camera is not working ????/
You've hardly given us any info to go on..
GSM or CDMA?
What rom?
I'm guessing it's pure AOSP, thus it might have deep sleep issues (which would cause the battery drain), along with camera not working.
Try installing CPUSpy and BetterBatteryStats and try to identify the issue.

I'm just curious about this 4mA deep sleep thing that I have on touchpad. I was using CM7 based Rom and would have about 2 days on battery on a really light use. Almost standby. But I installe CM10 based 4 days ago and after a full charge, I haven't charged it since. With same amount of really light use and mostly standby.
So I just wanted to know if this could be done to our 3d's too. I'm not a developer, nowhere even close to it, so I don't know that what I asked, if it makes sense here or no.
Any thoughts? Help? Comments?
Sorry for low quality pictures, took them with my 3d.

Been using this since full charge watching directv, plex, vevo, YouTube and battery seems decent. Still no match with my buddy's Note 2. But acceptable.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

It has a non removable battery. How do we swap the battery if it dies?

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.
